"Then wait until my husband and big brother come back and ask them!"
Zhou pouted and looked a little unhappy. She felt that Jiang Qianruo's tone of voice just now was a little strong, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, we need to discuss this with our son-in-law."
Zhou Yidao's words were recognized by Zhou Liushi and Hu Shi. Seeing their expressions, Jiang Qianruo didn't want to push them too hard. "That makes sense. Let's wait until they come back and then decide on a departure date."
Although Jiang Qianruo was anxious, he calmed down a bit considering Zhou's condition: "Brother, can Yue'er travel like this?"
"The wound is already healing. We just need to let her lie down so that we can continue our journey. But it would be better if she could rest at home for a few more days. That would be safer."
Jiang Qianruo's expression softened as he relaxed a little, "Brother, are you coming back to the capital with me this time?"
Mr. Huang nodded heavily: "I would have gone even if you didn't tell me. I have to keep an eye on that shameless guy! Don't bully you!"
No matter what, they are my mother's family. Although I once thought that I would never set foot in the capital again, the situation this time is different. I must accompany my junior sister back to find out what is going on.
Tang Qingfeng's face lit up with joy: "Master! Are you willing to come to the capital? Then you can live in my house!"
"Hmph, you unfilial son! If I had known you'd be like this, I should have thrown you into the mountains to feed the wolves when I found you!"
Thinking that the apprentice he had raised and taught with great effort had given up medicine to pursue literature, Mr. Huang couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and would sit up and scold Tang Qingfeng.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Tang Qingfeng could only put on a smile and didn't dare to say a word.
"I want to go home!"
Seeing that everything seemed fine, Zhou immediately opened her arms and asked Ji Changying to let her go home.
Jiang Qianruo turned around and put down her arm: "Why are you here and going home?"
"No matter how nice this place is, it's not my home! I just want to go back to my own home!"
The more Zhou looked at Jiang Qianruo, the more uncomfortable she felt. She had no choice before, but now that her two children and their parents were here, she immediately became willful.
"Then I'll carry you back."
Ji Changying also felt that it was better to recuperate at home, as it was not so comfortable here.
Zhou cooperated by spreading her arms, and Ji Changying easily hugged her.
Jiang Qianruo did not stop them. He sat there and looked at them intently, with a hint of loss in his eyes.
When Zhou Yidao and Zhou Liushi saw their daughters leave, they immediately followed them. The group walked out of the medicine house in a mighty procession, and the whole room instantly became spacious.
"Don't worry about it. The child probably hasn't accepted it yet. After all, it's been so long."
Old Huang felt bad seeing his junior sister like this, and could only say some comforting words.
"That's right! Just think about it, after living for over thirty years, suddenly one day a stranger comes up to you and says I'm your real mother. Who can accept that right away? Besides, I see her adoptive parents are really caring... Ouch!!"
Before Tang Qingfeng could finish his words, Mr. Huang stepped on his foot hard. He jumped up holding his foot in pain.
Song Ruqing sat aside, calm as a spectator who had been mentally prepared: "Sister Yue..., I think she's feeling a little uncomfortable. You need to give her more time."
Song Ruqing didn't know how to call her for a moment, so she could only add "sister" after her name, which made it seem more friendly and distinguishable from the previous one.
Hearing what she meant, Jiang Qianruo didn't make it difficult: "Since she is the elder, she should be called that first."
After returning to Beijing, she will clear Yue'er's name, and then everyone will naturally know how to call her.
——
The people from the Zhou family followed behind and asked questions at once. Zhou Yidao and Zhou Liu gave a few perfunctory responses. It was Zhou Ershu who saw that his parents were worried and stopped the others from talking.
After returning home and settling Zhou down, Zhou Yidao and his wife talked to her for a while, then hurried back home with their family to discuss the matter.
Ji Mingxuan and Ji Minghao stood in the room, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Just say whatever you want to say! Why are you being so fussy at home?"
Seeing her two sons like this, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but scold them.
Ji Mingxuan thought for a moment before speaking: "The main thing is, I don't know what to say. If we really follow them to the capital, what will the Ji family say? The three of us are all ready to leave next year. Is this still necessary now?"
Ji Minghao sighed, "I think Madam Jiang means that the Ji family must stay here. As for us, we were able to go to the capital with her because of Aunt Jiang's influence, but who knows what the future holds!"
Anyone who hits someone in Kyoto with a brick might end up being an adult. Their family has no roots, so who knows what the situation will be like there.
"I think we should make two plans." Ji Changchuan pulled out a chair and sat down. "First of all, no matter what the reason is, this dear grandmother at least seems to be very warm to us. Although the emperor's attitude is very important, it is not clear at the moment. Let's wait and see when the edict comes down, and we can also judge whether this dear grandmother's words are effective with the emperor."
"Secondly, a good blacksmith must be strong himself. We still need to read the books we need to read. If we go to Kyoto, we can take advantage of the emperor's presence and read more books that are not available here. At worst, we can take the exam in Kyoto next year. It's the same exam anyway. If we fail, we can just consider it as experience."
Regardless of whether they recognize their mother or not, and no matter how they announce her identity, they can still stand firm on their own.
"Xiaochuan is right. All fear comes from a lack of confidence in one's own abilities. I'm going to go back and read all the books! I'll take a leave of absence and stay home for now. I'll talk to you after Dad and the others come back. Third brother, come with me!"
After Ji Mingxuan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Ji Minghao's reaction and pulled him away.
Ji Changchuan also stood up: "I have to go too. Although I can win by lying down, I prefer to slap others in the face with my strength."
He could imagine that once his mother's identity was made public, those people in Kyoto would say so many sarcastic words and might even mock them for being from the countryside!
He can't just sit there and take a beating, he has to prepare in advance.
Thinking of this, he walked out with his head held high.
Mrs. Hu looked relieved. "The children are all grown up and have their own plans. I can finally rest assured."
Zhou's eyes were confused. "What are they talking about? Why does it sound so complicated?"
——
Ji Changying sometimes admires his mother's toughness.
Such a big thing happened at home. Not only did Mrs. Hu couldn't sleep all night, but even the Zhou family was extremely nervous for several days.
Several uncles came to Zhou every day, and every time they watched her eat and drink heartlessly, wanting to say something but stopping themselves, and finally sighed and left. Her mother acted as if nothing had happened, and didn't notice that the uncles were worried at all.
Ji Changying was even busier, teaching people how to grow seedlings and plant crops, and secretly looking for a suitable person to take over her job.
