The night was extraordinarily deep, and in the study of the big garden, Ji Shouye listened to the steward with a calm face, his brows were tightly locked, and he asked in a low voice: "Doesn't the old lady know the movements of the children at all?" The steward lowered his eyebrows, and the eldest lord's question really made him not know how to answer, so that neither side could be offended. With so many children lying on the edge of the window watching the excitement, Mrs. Ji's eyes are not bad now, how could he not know?

Ji Shouye rubbed his nose with his hand, looked at the steward's expression, and knew his difficulty, waved at him, and signaled him to retreat. Ji Shouye asked the little servant to say that Ji Shuzheng came over to speak, Ji Shuzheng hurried over, and when he heard what Ji Shouye said, his face was tangled and wrinkled, and he whispered: "Father, the children are young, and they are just curious for a while. In a few days, if the old garden is still so noisy, I will go and discuss it with my grandfather. ”

Ji Shouye sighed and looked at his eldest son, some words are more difficult for relatives to face. There are three brothers in the Ji family, Ji Shouye's feelings for Mrs. Ji are the most entangled, he was the eldest son of Mrs. Ji the most, and later he was also the son who was dragged down the most by him. Ji Shouye looked at the expression on his eldest son's face, and put this matter in the back of his mind very neatly.

He thought for a while and asked, "How is Li'er and Shi'er's homework?" Both of them are qualified in reading, and they must be disciplined well, so that they can support each other to go further in the future. Ji Shuzheng listened to Ji Shuye's words, and the smile on his face was extremely comfortable, and he said with a smile: "The two of them are young, and their minds are not used for homework, and now they are just dealing with Mr.'s homework."

I was about to think of a way to direct the minds of the two of them to the right path, lest they should follow the little ladies of the house so wholeheartedly that they would learn to mingle in the inner house. "After Mrs. Ji was middle-aged, her mind was all on her aunt's children, and she treated her sister-in-law and sister-in-law too indifferently, and sometimes even showed a defensive posture.

Ji Shuli is only one year older than his uncle Ji Shoujia, he feels a lot about this, and he only has face respect for his grandfather Old Lady Ji, and he doesn't mention his grandfather lightly outside. As long as Ji Shouye's father and son mention the actions of Mrs. Ji, both father and son have nothing to say, there are elders like this, he can't be the Dinghai Shenshen needle for his children and grandchildren, he can only make his children and grandchildren grow up quickly because of him, I don't know if it is the luck of the children and grandchildren, or misfortune.

Ji Shouye looked at his eldest son, who was obviously more able to withstand things than his younger brother, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "You are still young now, just for the sake of your children, you also have to think about going in the direction of your career." In the second half of the year, there are some vacant positions, I will help you plan a small official position first, you work hard, after a long time, you will definitely have a better future than you teaching in the college. ”

Ji Shuli shook his head lightly and said: "I don't have the ability of a father, I am not tactful enough to deal with people, my heart is not ruthless enough, and I can't go far in officialdom." And I have always been interested in teaching, I work hard in this direction, as long as the disciples I cultivate come forward, there is a teacher-student relationship, and Shi'er has a connection. ”

Ji Shouye sighed and nodded, "Everyone has their own ambitions, if you don't want to, then forget it." It's a pity that your three younger brothers have limited qualifications, so I'm afraid that they can only be petty officials, not big officials. Your uncle can go up and down for people, if he doesn't pay so much attention to enjoying beauty, he is too laissez-faire, with his nature, he is more suitable for officialdom than me. ”

Ji Shuli didn't think like Ji Shouye, he felt in his heart that a person like Ji Shoujia was more suitable to be a scholar with personality, but unfortunately he was not here. Ji Shouye looked at him and said, "On weekdays, let the two sisters, Qing'er and Yue'er, come over to accompany the two aunts for dinner." Ning'er is the kind of person who eats everything deliciously, and the longer their sisters have been together, maybe their appetite will be just as good. ”

Ji Li laughed when she heard this, Ji Anning has always been chubby, which also has a lot to do with her love of food. Ji Li laughed and said: "Father, Ning'er is young now, her facial features are good, and she will be fatter, but this is going to be bigger, and she is still so chubby, I'm afraid it will be a little inappropriate." ”

Ji Shouye looked at him directly with white eyes and said, "Don't listen to your uncle, he likes bone beauties, and he never dislikes those bone people." We Ning'er looks so blessed, I see that she is not fat at all, but other girls in our family are too thin. Yue'er was born with a bad appetite, and she looks like a hearty child.

That treasure flower is a weak flower cultivated the day after tomorrow, and you ask the Shaw Brothers to tell the children to avoid it. Ji Li nodded lightly, Ji Baohua is the heart of Mrs. Ji, and now this woman will also be the youngest child in Mrs. Ji's life. Ji Baohua is still young, but looking at Ji Anning, who is two years older than her, is clever, when she asks for something from an adult, if she is not satisfied, she will look at you without tears and not relax. It's just that she is young, and she naturally has a pitiful temperament like this.

Ji Li sighed and said: "The official family outside is clearly distinguished, and my grandfather has always recognized the rules of the official family. Ji Shouye's face immediately looked bad, and he hurriedly intercepted and said, "Don't say these things to your grandfather, in this regard, let him be confused." Last time, when your uncle came, he mentioned the family accident caused by the lack of clarity among the people outside.

Your grandfather was still in his mind at that time, and he didn't care to discipline those people. But he turned his head and discussed with your grandmother that he wanted to record Ji Baohua in your grandmother's name as a concubine, and disgusted your grandmother so much that she couldn't swallow food for two days. Ji Li said in a deep voice: "Grandmother has relatives and children, so it is necessary to record a concubine in her name." Wasn't the grandfather worried about the opposition of the grandmother's mother's family? ”

Ji Shouye sneered and said, "As long as your grandmother is willing, your uncle and their affairs, he will push me to give an explanation." He doesn't care more and more about his reputation now, he can come as he pleases, and of course he doesn't think a little about your grandmother and my children and grandchildren, just for his own pleasure. Fortunately, your grandmother has always been clear-eyed, never influenced by him, and is dedicated to the sake of her children and grandchildren, and helped us stop his foolish things. ”

This kind of family matter has always been the most sad, and there is no real solution to it, so it can only be blamed and self-defeating. Ji Shouye's father and son have too much grievances in their hearts, and they must respect filial piety with him when facing Mrs. Ji.
