The next day, Ji Xiaotang was in Mrs. Ji's house, talking to Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji, and someone came to report that Uncle Gu and his party had arrived outside the city.

Master Ji Er hesitated slightly, but still asked Mrs. Ji Er to prepare clothes for him.

"Yesterday, the old lady specially instructed me to go and greet her." Second Master Ji said.

Yesterday, Mrs. Ji's meaning was very clear, she wanted the second and third masters of Ji to go out of the city to greet Uncle Gu.

Mrs. Ji Er glanced at Second Master Ji, didn't say anything, got up and called the girl to get clothes for Second Master Ji.

"In my opinion, it's enough to just let the uncle welcome him outside the city." Ji Xiaotang opened his mouth.

Mrs. Ji immediately stopped.

"Child's words." Ji Er said.

"My grandmother is a few years old, and she doesn't know the outside world, so sometimes it's inevitable to be emotional. Daddy is now in charge of the house and is filial to his grandmother, but he doesn't have to listen to his grandmother in everything. Uncle and old lady are not rare guests. Ji Xiaotang said.

"Xiaotang said the same, my uncle and old lady often come and go in our house. It's just a trip for a while, not a distant visit. Mrs. Ji said.

"Uncle and old lady's temper, I shouldn't mind. Daddy doesn't go, but it's better. Ji Xiaotang said again.

Ji Xiaotang still has something unspoken, if it were someone else, it would be nothing, but Uncle Gu is a little "special". Second Master Ji went out of the city to greet him, this Uncle Gu was proud, and he didn't know what to do.

"Daddy is now the head of the family, and everything should be considered as a family matter." Ji Xiaotang said slowly.

Second Master Ji was also reluctant to go outside the city to greet his uncle. It was only because Mrs. Ji deliberately spoke that he hesitated. At this time, listening to the second Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang both persuading him, his mind was even more shaken.

Second Master Ji hasn't decided whether to go or not. Master Ji San had already got the news and rushed over.

"I'll just say it's enough for me to greet him alone, what kind of character is he on the stage!" Master Ji San said to Master Ji Er.

Second Master Ji immediately glared at Third Master Ji.

"What nonsense, that's the elders in the end. Let people hear it, what kind of system will it become? ”

Master Ji San was busy looking left and right, and then smiled.

There were no outsiders in the house, only Mr. Ji and his wife and Ji Xiaotang. Master Ji San's temper has been much more restrained now, and there are others here. He wouldn't say it without any scruples.

Master Ji San sat on the chair with his ass, although Ji Second Master said it, he still couldn't help but say some things.

"It's not that I don't respect my elders. It's really that he doesn't look like an elder. Looking at his actions in the past two years, it has become more and more unrespectable. Master Ji San lowered his voice slightly.

Master Ji San said this, and Second Master Ji also remembered what Uncle Gu had done in the past two years, so he no longer hesitated.

In order to let Uncle Gu act in the future, he can have some scruples. Can't be too careless in his face.

At last. Only Master Ji San took someone out of the city to pick up Uncle Gu. Second Master Ji went to the front study.

Second Mrs. Ji took Ji Xiaotang to Mrs. Ji's yard.

Mrs. Ji had obviously also received the letter, and was sitting on the kang and looking at the door from time to time, with joy and anticipation on her face.

"Did their brother go out to pick him up?" Seeing that Mrs. Ji was here with Ji Xiaotang, Mrs. Ji was busy and asked.

"Daddy listened to the letter and was about to go out with my uncle to pick it up, but unfortunately there was a person from other places who came to worship, and Daddy didn't want to neglect the guests......" Ji Xiaotang replied for Mrs. Ji.

Old Mrs. Ji was full of joy at the moment, and heard that Second Master Ji did not go to pick up Uncle Gu. I didn't even get angry.

"That's it, your uncle will pick it up. Your daddy's business matters. Mrs. Ji said.

Mrs. Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang exchanged a look, and Mrs. Ji Er breathed a sigh of relief.

sat with Mrs. Ji for a while, and a little girl ran in outside to report.

"Uncle and Mrs. Uncle have already arrived outside the mansion with Aunt Xia and Aunt Xue."

"Come on, come in." Mrs. Ji said happily.

Mrs. Ji got up when she was busy.

"The old lady sat down for a while, and I took Xiaoyun and Xiaotang to pick up the old lady and the old lady."

"Go ahead." Old Madam Ji nodded.

Hearing that someone was coming, Ji Xiaoyun stood up happily, and at this time, she followed Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang to the second door.

The Gu family's carriage stopped outside the second gate, and a middle-aged woman with a medium height and a long face got out of the carriage first. This middle-aged woman was wearing an eggplant purple makeup gown, a red skirt, and a hair full of pearls, which was the Jiang family, the original wife of Gu's uncle Gu Yuanshan.

Behind Jiang, two more girls got out of the car.

The woman who got off the bus first looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with a short figure, slightly plump skin, yellow and white skin, two thin and curved eyebrows, and a pair of eyes under the eyebrows seemed to be open, which was quite moving. The girl who got out of the car in the end was still young, looking only eleven or twelve years old, with a tuantuan face, a small nose and small eyes, and a few pockmarks under the eyes.

The two girls are also full of pearls, and they wear floral skirts.

These are the two maiden nieces that Mrs. Ji specially mentioned yesterday, Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er.

Jiang had already seen Second Mrs. Ji, and immediately came up with a grin, and grabbed Second Mrs. Ji's arm.

"Niece and daughter-in-law, why are you still working and you took it out. We are not outsiders, and we are not unaware of the way, so we don't need these false courtesies. As soon as Jiang opened his mouth, he showed a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth.

Mrs. Ji Er and this old lady of the Jiang family have not seen each other much, and they are not used to her style, so they are a little embarrassed at the moment.

Gu Xia'er hurriedly walked up two steps behind, gave Jiang a dry cough and gave Jiang a look, and bowed down to Mrs. Ji Erying.

"Xia'er has seen her cousin-in-law, and her cousin-in-law has always been good."

Gu Xue'er took a step slower, and also saluted Mrs. Ji Er.

"Okay, okay." Second Mrs. Ji reached out to support Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er. took the opportunity to pull his arm out of Jiang's hand.

Before Gu Xia'er could stand up straight, Ji Xiaoyun had already stepped forward with a smile and held Gu Xia'er's hand.

"Aunt Xia, you're here."

"Xiaoyun." Gu Xia'er smiled all over her face, "...... There's not a day I don't think about you. These days are gone, Xiaoyun has grown taller and more beautiful. ”

Ji Xiaoyun blushed and smiled, only caring about talking to Gu Xia'er, and didn't seem to see Gu Xue'er on the side at all.

Gu Xue'er sank her face and coughed dryly.

Mrs. Ji Er hurriedly spoke. Let Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang meet with the Jiang family, Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er, and welcome the mother and daughter into the second gate.

"The old lady has been looking forward to it for a long time, don't let the old lady wait."

Everyone entered the courtyard of Mrs. Ji. Before entering the upper room, the Jiang family had already screamed one by one, and passed over Mrs. Ji Er, and couldn't wait for the little girl to open the curtain. I rushed to the room.

Mrs. Ji had to speed up. Then followed.

The Jiang family had already greeted Mrs. Ji, and asked Mrs. Ji in a high voice and in a low voice if she was in good health, and said that they were in a hurry, just to see Mrs. Ji Yunyun earlier.

Old Mrs. Ji agreed vaguely, and when she saw Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er, her attitude became eager.

A brocade mat was placed underground, and Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er both knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Ji.

"Get up and sit beside me." Mrs. Ji said busily.

Ji Xiaoyun helped Gu Xia'er up with her own hands. The two walked up to Mrs. Ji with a smile, and were pulled by Mrs. Ji to sit beside her. The little girl also helped Gu Xue'er up. Gu Xue'er walked to Mrs. Ji's side. I could only sit next to Gu Xia'er.

"Xia'er is getting better and better, why does she look like she's lost some weight?" Old Lady Ji looked at Gu Xia'er affectionately.

"It must be because I'm in a hurry, I can't eat or sleep well. This girl just wants to see her eldest sister soon, and she chatters from morning to night every day. Jiang said with a smile.

"Auntie, Xia'er is not thin. My aunt cared about Xia'er, so she felt that Xia'er had lost weight. Gu Xia'er said with a smile.

After talking about Gu Xia'er for a long time, Mrs. Ji remembered Gu Xue'er again.

"Cher has grown taller and fatter."

Gu Xueer is twelve years old this year, the same as Ji Xiaoyun, only two months older than Ji Xiaoyun. In the past two years, she has not grown taller, but she has gained a lot of weight, and she is most taboo in her heart to be said that she is fat.

Mrs. Ji said that she was fat, but Gu Xue'er could only endure it, but her mouth pursed.

Gu Xia'er saw it at a glance, and when people weren't paying attention, she secretly pinched Gu Xue'er.

Gu Xue'er reluctantly pursed her mouth, revealing a somewhat stiff smile.

"You say, 'How can this man not grow old?' …… It seems that it was still in the arms yesterday, and it looks so big. In two years, it will be someone else's family. Mrs. Ji looked at her niece and granddaughter in front of her and said with emotion.

Gu Xia'er is the oldest, and when Mrs. Ji said that she had become a member of someone else's family, Ji Xiaotang was nothing, and Gu Xia'er blushed.

"Auntie, if my aunt doesn't dislike it, Xia'er will accompany her aunt for the rest of her life." Gu Xia'er leaned her head into Mrs. Ji's arms and said coquettishly.

"What stupid things you say, you girl." Mrs. Ji smiled.

"The old lady was reluctant to let them accompany the old lady more, and I brought them all the luggage." Jiang immediately said.

Gu Xia'er's face was even redder, and she squinted her eyes and didn't look at the Jiang family.

“…… This time, I went straight to see my aunt, and I didn't have time to go home yet. Gu Xia'er said.

This sentence decently dissolved Jiang's luggage.

"I'm going to keep you two with me for a few days." Old Mrs. Ji gently patted Gu Xia'er's back.

"The old lady saw which yard to let the two cousins live in, so the daughter-in-law took someone to clean it up." Mrs. Ji said.

"Aunt Xia still lives with me." Ji Xiaoyun rushed to say.

"They don't have to arrange a separate yard for their sisters." Mrs. Ji said to Mrs. Ji, "It's still the same as before, let them live with me, and be a companion with Xiaoyun." ”

Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er both nodded, saying that they were very willing to live with Mrs. Ji.

"It's just that I'm going to trouble my cousin-in-law in the future." Gu Xia'er stood up and blessed Mrs. Ji Er again.

Mrs. Ji Er had a good impression of Gu Xia'er, and felt that this little girl was very good at dressing up and not talking, but also very polite and able to speak.

"If it's troublesome, I'm willing to have a lively house, and the old lady is happy to have her sisters with her. …… What is needed, what is missing, even if you send someone to sue me. Mrs. Ji said enthusiastically.

When Mrs. Ji saw Mrs. Ji like this, she was very satisfied, and nodded slightly, but she would not say anything to praise Mrs. Ji.

"My nephew and daughter-in-law are really virtuous and capable people, and people like them when they see them." Jiang immediately laughed.

"I don't dare to be the praise of my uncle and old lady." Mrs. Ji said.

As he was talking, outside Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, they accompanied Uncle Gu.

It turned out that Uncle Gu got out of the car in front of him, and was first welcomed to the study by Master Ji Er and Master Ji San to say a few words, and then came to see Mrs. Ji.

When Mrs. Ji saw Uncle Gu, her eyes turned red.

"Big sister." Uncle Gu ignored people's obstacles, knelt on the ground steadily, kowtowed to Mrs. Ji twice, and then sat down on Mrs. Ji's kang.

Mrs. Ji carefully looked at Uncle Gu from top to bottom, and saw that the person was not thin and in good spirits, so she was relieved.

Mrs. Ji and Uncle Gu are sisters and brothers-in-law, but they are more than ten years apart. Mrs. Ji treats Uncle Gu as not only a younger brother, but almost like a son.

"You're not young anymore, there's nothing over there, and you'll only send Lei'er back once a year in the future." Old Mrs. Ji said to Uncle Gu with some distress.

The Gu family's family is not in Qingyuan, but in Bowang, which is hundreds of miles away from Qingyuan. Now there are only two old lady Ji and old uncle Gu's sister and brother left in the Gu family, and Uncle Gu also moved to Qingyuan many years ago to rely on Old Lady Ji. But the parents of the two sisters and brothers of the Gu family are buried in Bowang.

Every year during Qingming, Uncle Gu would return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. This time, because of the repair of the tomb, Uncle Gu will not come back until this time.

"That's what the eldest sister said." Jiang immediately said, obviously not very happy about this carriage and horses.

"You know what?" Uncle Gu immediately glared at the Jiang family.

Jiang pouted, but when he looked at Mrs. Ji, he didn't dare to talk back.

“…… As long as you can move your hands and feet, you must go. Not for anything else, just to take a look at the grave of my father and mother for the eldest sister, and put a stick of incense on the eldest sister in front of my father's grave. Uncle Gu said to Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji not only had red circles in her eyes this time, but also shed tears.

Speaking of intimacy, I am afraid that no one in this world is more considerate of her heart than her younger brother.

Seeing Mrs. Ji crying, everyone was busy persuading each other, and it took a long time to persuade Mrs. Ji.

"Where's Lei'er?" Mrs. Ji asked.

Gu Leier is Uncle Gu's only son and Mrs. Ji's nephew.

“…… He was sent to the field with his second uncle. ”

"Why bother." Mrs. Ji said.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Uncle Gu said, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Eldest sister, what mistake did Jiang Er make, why was he dismissed from his errand." (To be continued......)
