Chapter 253 The Mad Couple 17
Ji Xiaohua was still somewhat incredulous when she heard Ji Xiaosong tell this news.
"How could he suddenly become like this?"
"Of course it was made by your dear brother-in-law..."
Ji Xiaosong didn't intend to hide it from Ji Xiaohua; she was already nine years old and would need to receive more education in the future.
Revealing her relationship with Wu Chufeng now will help her to bring out all her preparations later.
"Brother-in-law?"
Ji Xiaohua shrieked, "Sister, when did you get engaged again?"
"No, no, no, the word 'again' is not good. I've found a suitable husband. Little sister, we come from the countryside, so we must remember to seize every possible opportunity, otherwise, life will be even more difficult."
Ji Xiaosong also had some understanding of this world from the original owner's memories. Women had a relatively low status, and families like theirs, with only two daughters left, were almost unable to keep their houses and land.
Before she came to the capital, she protected her house and land with a protective barrier.
If they hadn't done that, by the time the two sisters returned, they would have nothing left.
Seeing her younger sister's shocked expression, Ji Xiaosong couldn't help but laugh and gently pinched her cheek.
"Xiaohua, isn't your reaction a bit too exaggerated? Isn't it normal for me to find a suitable husband?"
"But sister, now that you're married, will Xiaohua still be able to stay with you?"
"Of course you should come with me. I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone. There are only the two of us left in our family. If we don't have someone to rely on, life will be very difficult in the future. Wu Chufeng is a trustworthy person. If you marry him, not only will he protect our family property, but he will also give you a better future."
When Ji Xiaohua heard her sister mention Wu Chufeng, her eyes widened, and her tone was filled with disbelief:
"Sister, are you talking about General Wu's son? Wu Chufeng, the eldest son of the first-rank general's family?"
"Yes, it's him. What, you think your sister isn't good enough for him?"
"No, no, of course you're good enough for them, sister! But... but their family is a general's mansion, while our family is just an ordinary farming household. The difference in status is too great! Won't their family look down on us?"
Ji Xiaosong smiled, reached out and ruffled her younger sister's hair, her tone soothing:
"Xiaohua, don't worry. Wu Chufeng isn't the kind of person who values family background. He values you as a person, not our family background."
Ji Xiaohua frowned, her tone still carrying a hint of worry:
“But sister, even if Wu Chufeng doesn’t care, what about the rest of his family? Would they agree? I’ve heard that wealthy and powerful families are very particular about marrying someone of equal social standing.”
“It’s alright, these sisters can handle it. If they treat us badly, we’ll leave. Don’t worry, we have people in the underworld, Father will protect us.”
Ji Xiaosong wouldn't mind using the excuse a few more times if she had to give it so many times.
"By the way, Xiaohua, I found you a female tutor today. You can stay at home and learn from her. The tutor will come to the house tomorrow to teach you. In addition, there will be a maid to help with the housework."
Hearing her sister's words, Ji Xiaohua's eyes widened even more, her tone filled with surprise:
"Sister, you've found me a female tutor? And a maid? Where...where would we get the money to hire all these people?"
“You forgot, we have a father in the underworld. Father gives us so much food and supplies, and I took some out to exchange for silver, which is why I hired a female tutor. The maid and female tutor that your sister hired for you both know kung fu, so you should learn from them.”
"Sister, you're amazing! But... won't that female tutor and the maid look down on us?"
"Don't worry, they won't. The female tutor and maid were specially chosen by my sister, they will take good care of you."
"Then...when will they arrive?"
"They'll be here first thing tomorrow morning. You'd better behave well and not disappoint your sister."
"Don't worry, sis, I will definitely study hard!"
Seeing her younger sister's excited expression, Ji Xiaosong felt a surge of joy.
She gently patted her sister's shoulder, her tone tender:
"Little Flower, your sister hopes you can live a good life. From now on, you can focus on learning from the female tutor and leave the household chores to the maids. Remember, although we come from humble backgrounds, as long as we have the ability and confidence, no one can bully us at will."
"Don't worry, sis, I will definitely study hard! In the future, I want to be as good as you!"
"Okay, then I'll be waiting to see how you turn things around."
That night, after Ji Xiaohua fell asleep, Ji Xiaosong went to the space and found Ji Dan.
After entering the space, Ji Xiaosong went straight to the area where Ji Dan was located.
Ji Dan is an advanced robot she brought from the previous interstellar world. It looks no different from an ordinary human and can even simulate human emotions and reactions.
At this moment, Ji Dan was standing in a virtual garden, seemingly debugging some program.
"Ji Dan, I need to talk to you." Ji Xiaosong walked to his side, her tone somewhat serious.
Ji Dan turned around, a gentle smile on his face: "Master, what are your orders?"
"I need you to appear before my younger sister, Ji Xiaohua, tomorrow as a female tutor to teach her. Also, arrange for a maid to take care of her daily life."
"Understood, Master. What are your specific requirements for the female tutor and the maid?"
"The female tutor should appear knowledgeable and elegant, ideally the kind that gives off a very cultured vibe. As for the maid, she should be diligent, quick-witted, and nimble, able to take good care of Xiaohua's life. Since we've come to ancient times, our words and actions must be in line with the current social situation."
"Rest assured, Master, I will adjust the appearance and personality settings according to your requirements. The female tutor will appear as gentle and patient, while the little maid will appear lively and diligent."
"Furthermore, the female tutor will not only teach Xiaohua to read and write, but also teach her some basic self-defense techniques and etiquette. The maidservant will not only take care of her daily life, but also secretly protect her safety."
"Don't worry, Master, I will implant the appropriate programs to ensure they can complete their missions perfectly."
"Alright, then it's up to you. They need to appear in front of Xiaohua first thing tomorrow morning, and there can't be any flaws."
"Understood, Master. I will make sure everything goes smoothly."
The next morning, as soon as Ji Xiaohua opened the door, she saw a gentle and elegant woman standing at the door, followed by a sweet-smiling maid who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The woman wore an elegant light blue dress, her hair was styled in a high bun, and her features were exquisite. She exuded a scholarly air that inspired respect in everyone who saw her.
