Chapter 46: Strangeness
In the east wing of the old garden, Old Lady Ji looked at the concubine who looked cowardly everywhere in front of him, and he sighed very discouragedly, these two people looked at the seed that they couldn't support, just like their aunt, they had never stood up. Old lady Ji always has an indescribable precautionary mind about the eldest son and his wife, but this couple is extremely good at behaving.
Ji Shouye and his wife have always been filial to their parents and friendly to their families, even to the younger brothers and sisters in the family, they have never treated them harshly in terms of food and clothing, and in terms of academics, their husband and wife are willing to spend money to send their cousins to the school outside. Old lady Ji talked to the two concubines with a gloomy face, and he guided him attentively for a while, but he never heard the two of them mention a word about the eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Old lady Ji felt bored, and waved at the two concubines to signal them to retreat. The two concubines left quickly, and after the two quickly exchanged glances at the door of the room, they went their separate ways. Old lady Ji stretched out her hand and touched Ji Baohua, who was sitting next to her, and sighed and said, "Hua'er, your brothers and sisters are unreliable, you will have to plan more for yourself in the future." β
Ji Baohua raised her head, she looked at Mrs. Ji with admiration in her eyes, and said to him arrogantly, "Dad, Hua'er can live a good life like Dad." When the flowers are older, they will also be filial to their father and live a good life. Old lady Ji only felt that his heart and eyes were full of spring water, he looked at her and sighed and said: "There are so many brothers and sisters of yours, only you, the little daughter, are the most close to her father's heart." You can rest assured, Daddy will definitely live to see you get married.
Your mother is willing to leave you alone, but even if your father is old, he will hold on until you grow up, and our father and daughter will work together, and you will definitely have a beautiful marriage. Starting tomorrow, Daddy will officially monastic. "Old lady Ji found someone to find Ji Shouye and told him to build a small monastery at home.
Ji Shouye raised his eyes to look at Ji Baohua who was leaning behind him, and seeing her little eyes flickering and evasive, he smiled and said: "Father, Baohua is still young, it is the age when you need to take care of her, if you enter the Tao, how much thought do you have to take care of her." Old lady Ji said with a dark face: "Boss, I just knew that you treated them only for face, so I started to cultivate the Tao, I thought that after meditating and cultivating, I would definitely be able to live a few more years, and I could watch them get married." β
Ji Shouye looked at him with a slightly mocking smile and said, "Father, you do treat them with a loving fatherly demeanor, but have you ever thought that when you were three years old, you treated him with a bit of father-son affection?" How much affection do you have for Li'er and Ning'er? Father, I have no objection to your cultivation, and I also want you to live a long life. It's just that here in the old garden, there is no free place, and a complete Taoist room will be built for you. β
Old lady Ji heard the complaint in the eldest son's tone, and also heard the concession behind his words, after he was silent, he said: "Your mother is no longer in me as her husband, in a month, we can't meet once, and I don't want to be old, and I have to face her cold face." The backyard is empty, you build me a Taoist room there that doesn't need to be too big, I'll take them to the backyard, and the old garden will be left for your mother to care for the elderly, nothing to do, you don't need to come and say hello to me. β
Ji Shouye looked at Old Lady Ji's expression very carefully, and after he pondered for a while, he said: "Such a big matter, I need to discuss it with my second brother, if you insist on acting like this, father, three days later, our two brothers will still accept it." It's just a matter of moving to the backyard, and now that the New Year is approaching, I'm afraid that it won't be able to fulfill my father's wish for a while. If you're not in a hurry, I'll wait until the next year, and I'll find someone to renovate the backyard, and then you can pick a wishful house and decorate the Dao room. β
When Mrs. Ji heard Ji Shouye say this, his heart calmed down, he stood up and took out the pen, ink and paper, and wrote on the paper the things that the Taoist room needed to prepare, and gave examples of the courtyards of the two concubines and the small courtyard of Ji Baohua. He saw that Ji Shouye took over very happily, and there was no objection on his face.
He smiled and said to Ji Shouye with a loving expression: "Boss, I also know that over the years, the Ji family has relied on you, and the family has been reunited. After your brother got married, they lived outside the country, and they never caused you trouble, I think you taught you well. Now there are two younger brothers and one sister at home, I am not too worried about your two younger brothers, I am worried about Baohua's relatives. You are now a five-grade official, she can't marry low, are you right? β
Ji Shouye hid the look of disdain in his eyes, he raised his eyes to look at Old Lady Ji and said, "The two younger brothers are doing well in the school, and they are also responsible people on weekdays. Father, for the sake of their studies, they live in the courtyard near the old garden, and when they are older, it will be convenient to entertain classmates. Baohua is still young, and she doesn't need to worry about such a thing as marriage for the time being, with her father teaching her on the side, she will be able to find a suitable family in the future. β
Old lady Ji saw that Ji Shouye did not immediately promise to find a good family for Ji Baohua, his expression was a little difficult to see, but looking at the face of his eldest son Yan SΓΉ, he turned his head to see the little daughter's small body, he also wanted to understand, this matter was in a hurry, and he had to figure it out slowly, anyway, Ji Baohua was young, and it was still too late for anything.
If he insists on persisting now, he will anger Ji Shouye for a while, but he is afraid that he will not get anything, and he has no feelings for the two concubines, so he will naturally recognize Ji Shouye's arrangement like this. Ji Shouye looked at the change in Mrs. Ji's expression, and he only felt desolate in his heart, the kind and caring father in his young memory had gone too far in time, and this person was too strange at the moment.
After Ji Shouye returned to Yiyuan, he told Bu Shi what Old Lady Ji thought. Bruce immediately called the steward over and ordered someone to hurry up and clean the backyard. After the people left, Bu explained her thoughts to Ji Shouye, saying: "Master, my master has this idea, but I'm afraid that if I am in a hurry, he will not care whether we arrange it properly or not, he will only act according to his wishes." I'm one step ahead, no matter what my father thinks again, at least when it comes to the front, I won't be in a hurry and panic. β
Ji Shouye stretched out his hand and patted Bu's hand and said, "You marry me, your children are older, and you won't have an easy life." I'll have to talk to my eldest brother about my father's place, and I'll wait until my father actually moves in and writes a letter to my younger brother. Alas, I used to think that my father was thinking about Baohua's future affairs, so he insisted on living in the old garden. Listening to his words today, I realized that he was just in a bad mood at that time, and he wanted to do something to make his mother uncomfortable. β
