Chapter 90: Quiet

The first update, at the end of the month, ask for pink.

……

Gu Xue'er's provocation was too obvious, which made Ji Xiaotang have a trace of interest in her.

The banquet didn't last long, and Mrs. Ji withdrew first, and the Jiang family naturally accompanied Mrs. Ji and went to the room that was cleaned up next to her to talk and rest.

Old Mrs. Ji left, and Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang also stood up afterwards, and Jiang Qiaoer and Gu Xia'er naturally accompanied them.

Only Jiang's second daughter-in-law and Jiang Xiaomei were left at the banquet, and there was also a Gu Xue'er.

Although the meal was sumptuous, no one else used chopsticks much, only Jiang's second daughter-in-law and Jiang Xiaomei didn't seem to have such a banquet as usual, so they were still a little embarrassed in front of everyone, and they were reluctant to leave the table now.

"I'll accompany Cher, you guys go first." Jiang's second daughter-in-law launched Gu Xue'er as an excuse.

Gu Xue'er sat on the chair, her body seemed to be a little unstable.

Gu Xue'er was drunk.

She wanted to fight with Ji Xiaotang, but Ji Xiaotang was noncommittal. Later, somehow, Ji Xiaotang didn't drink much, but she drank cup after cup under Ji Xiaotang's words.

Gu Xia'er accompanied Ji Xiaoyun and glanced at Gu Xue'er. Gu Xue'er's drunken and hazy appearance can be seen by everyone. Such a Gu Xue'er is obviously useless. Gu Xia'er frowned secretly, and when she thought about it, she didn't care about Gu Xue'er anymore.

"Just ask my aunt to take care of Cher for me." Gu Xia'er said to Jiang's second daughter-in-law.

Jiang's second daughter-in-law hurriedly responded.

Gu Xia'er and Jiang Qiao'er accompanied Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang to retreat from the table and went to the room where Mrs. Ji was resting.

In the room, Mrs. Ji had already taken off her coat outside, and was leaning on the pillow, talking to the Jiang family. The big girl Peony is beating her legs for Mrs. Ji. Peony fanned Mrs. Ji behind her.

There is a basin of ice in the room, and the slightest cool air spreads out outside, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Mrs. Ji was very happy to see them all coming.

"Why are you here, I'm old, I'm afraid that eating too much will not be easy to restrain myself. You're young, it's time to eat. Mrs. Ji said with a smile.

"I'm full." Ji Xiaoyun said. sat beside Mrs. Ji.

Gu Xia'er hurriedly went over to accompany Ji Xiaoyun.

Jiang Qiao'er was also busy echoing. Boast that today's table is good.

"I've gained a lot of knowledge, too."

Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and told him how much silver he had spent on purchasing materials for this banquet, and how much silver had been spent on the chef. It was the complete set of porcelain guys, and it was not the Gu family, but borrowed from Jiang Qingshan.

There are also girls and servants who help pass the dishes back and forth, and they are all from Jiang Qingshan's family.

"Thanks to Qiao'er for helping me cook." Jiang also said.

"It's rare that you're a capable person." Old Madam Ji nodded.

No one asked Jiang's second daughter-in-law and Jiang Xiaomei. Everyone seems to have forgotten about Gu Xue'er.

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Ji's eyes couldn't open. The peony and peony hurriedly spread out the brocade mattress. put a soft pillow and served Mrs. Ji to lie down. Mrs. Ji is prone to sleepiness after eating, so she should take a nap.

"Xiaotang and Xiaoyun should also rest." Jiang said.

Jiang Qiao'er hurriedly helped the Jiang family to also place pillows and mattresses for Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang, and came over to help Ji Xiaotang. I want to help Ji Xiaotang take off his coat.

Ji Xiaoyun grabbed Gu Xia'er's sleeve and spoke to Gu Xia'er in a low voice, as if she was going to Gu Xia'er's house.

Gu Xia'er began to hesitate. But he nodded quickly.

"Xiaotang will stay here and accompany your grandmother." Jiang said.

"Grandmother slept. It's good to be accompanied by my uncle and old lady. I went with my sister. Ji Xiaotang followed Ji Xiaoyun to Gu Xia'er's house, and called the girl Jin'er to come over to serve.

When Ji Xiaoyun saw Jin'er, she thought of the cloves she brought.

"Where's the lilac?" Ji Xiaoyun asked.

"I should still be sitting outside." Gu Xia'er said. Today, in addition to the two chairmen in the upper room of the main courtyard, a table is also arranged in front of the table to entertain the people brought by the Ji family to serve.

Lilac, Jin'er, and the little servants of Second and Third Master Ji were all seated in front, with only the peony and peony beside Mrs. Ji being an exception. The two did not sit at the front seat, but Mrs. Ji enjoyed the meal at the table, and the two ate next to it, so that it was convenient to serve and take care of Mrs. Ji.

Jin'er left the table early and came over to wait for Ji Xiaotang's orders. If this is not the case, if Ji Xiaotang wants to find Jin'er, he will have to use people from the Gu family or the Jiang family, but I am afraid that it is not so convenient.

Jin'er is like this, it seems that Lilac is a little lazy. Looking at the master from the girl, you can see the gap between Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun.

"Our girl was a little uncomfortable today, and my wife gave me a special advice when I went out." Jin'er is a clever one, so she explained. When she said this, she obviously relieved Lilac who was not present, and made Ji Xiaoyun's face look better.

"What kind of master, what kind of girl." Jiang Qiao'er laughed quietly, looking at Ji Xiaotang's gaze more and more different.

At the banquet, Jiang Qiaoer drank more than one glass for Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang smiled faintly at Jiang Qiao'er.

Jiang Qiao'er was a little flattered, and she became more and more stammered around Ji Xiaotang's service.

"Sister Qiao'er go and rest, I have a girl here to serve." Ji Xiaotang said.

"The third aunt made me filial and filial, I rarely have such an opportunity, it is my blessing." Jiang Qiao'er said with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang thought about it, and no longer refused, while quietly giving a few instructions to Jin'er, he sent Jin'er out.

"In this case, it is difficult for my girl to come out, so let her go and scatter freely." Ji Xiaotang said.

"That's how it should be." Jiang Qiao'er and Gu Xia'er both said.

A brand-new pillow was placed on the kang, and Jiang Qiao'er served Ji Xiaotang to lie down. Ji Xiaoyun and Gu Xia'er next to them also lay down relatively closely, and the two of them whispered in low voices.

As soon as Ji Xiaotang's head touched the pillow, he closed his eyes, and he seemed to be a little sleepy.

"I don't usually drink alcohol." Ji Xiaotang said. Today she was really at the table, but she still drank a few glasses. But a ten-year-old girl, what kind of alcohol can she drink. It's not surprising that I'm sleepy now.

Jiang Qiao'er served more and more properly, and gently fanned Ji Xiaotang beside her.

There is also an ice basin in this room, which seems to be cooler than the upper room. Ji Xiaotang said two words at first, but soon his breathing was stable and he stopped talking. Looks like I'm asleep.

Jiang Qiaoer asked Ji Xiaotang tentatively, but Ji Xiaotang didn't answer. Jiang Qiao'er raised her head. was meeting the sight that Gu Xia'er had seen. The two exchanged a tacit look.

Ji Xiaoyun also fell asleep.

Soon. There was the sound of soft footsteps outside. Jiang Qiao'er got up lightly and walked out.

Jiang Qiao'er came back after going out for a while, she didn't talk to Gu Xia'er, she just gestured at Gu Xia'er.

Gu Xia'er also got up lightly at random.

"Aunt Xia. Where are you going? Gu Xia'er was dressed properly and was about to go out, but Ji Xiaoyun suddenly woke up and asked Gu Xia'er in a daze.

Gu Xia'er was taken aback. Busy turned around and gestured to Ji Xiaoyun to whisper.

Mo woke up Xiaotang. …… Xiaotang fell asleep, and it was not good to wake her up. Gu Xia'er said in a low voice.

Jiang Qiao'er on the side was busy looking at Ji Xiaotang. Seeing Ji Xiaotang's incense sleeping by himself, he breathed a sigh of relief and signaled to Gu Xia'er.

"Where Aunt Xia goes, I'm going too." Ji Xiaoyun also lowered her voice. At the same time, when you sit up, you have to put on your coat.

"I—I'm not going anywhere, Xiaoyun, you go back to sleep." Gu Xia'er said to Ji Xiaoyun first. Then I saw that Ji Xiaoyun had completely woken up and didn't plan to sleep again. Gu Xia'er changed her mind. "Okay, let's go out for a walk together."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoyun responded happily.

Gu Xia'er helped Ji Xiaoyun put on her coat, and exchanged another look with Jiang Qiao'er.

Jiang Qiao'er seemed to be a little worried, and Gu Xia'er reassured Jiang Qiao'er.

She is confident that Ji Xiaoyun will not be bad.

Gu Xia'er and Ji Xiaoyun went out together. Jiang Qiaoer came over to see Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang was sleeping soundly, and he didn't know anything about what happened in the house, Gu Xia'er and Ji Xiaoyun's departure.

"A child, even if he is smart, can understand something." Jiang Qiao'er whispered to herself, with a hint of smugness in her tone.

It's quiet in the house, and it's just as quiet in the yard.

The banquet in the East House had already dispersed, and the banquet in the West House had just dispersed, and the guests had eaten too much wine and were helped down to rest. A courtyard was silent, and it seemed that everyone was asleep.

Soon, I heard hurried footsteps at the door.

"Miss Qiao is not there?" A young man with a raw face was at the door, shouting inside.

Jiang Qiao'er saw that she was looking for her, and she was worried about waking Ji Xiaotang up, so she got up and walked to the door, pulling the little girl aside to talk.

"Where are you waiting, making a lot of noise at the door of the girl's room, what are you talking about?" Jiang Qiao'er reprimanded the little guy in a low voice.

"I—I'm out waiting." The little girl was a little stunned by Jiang Qiao'er's momentum, and stumbled when she spoke, "Miss Qiao, your talented brother was playing behind and accidentally fell into the well." ā€

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have dared to come." The little guy then muttered something quietly.

"What?" When Jiang Qiao'er heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and she grabbed the little girl tightly and asked, "When did it happen, didn't you stay with his grandfather and follow the people who served?" ā€

"Just now, Master Jiang drank too much, so Brother Cai ran out to play with the children in the alley......"

For people like the Gu family, the door is naturally not as rigorous as that of a big family, and besides, people come and go today, Ma Yuwen ran out to play and accidentally fell into the well......

Jiang Qiao'er suddenly saw sweat on her head in a hurry.

She glanced into the room and saw Ji Xiaotang lying with his back to her, as if none of these movements had alarmed her. Jiang Qiao'er saw that Ji Xiaotang was still asleep, and she couldn't take care of it at the moment, so she grabbed the little guy and asked him to lead the way, and quickly went outside.

As soon as Jiang Qiao'er came out of the courtyard, the west corner door of the courtyard was gently opened, and Jin'er came in lightly from the outside and went straight to the west wing.

Ji Xiaotang had already put on his coat, and when he saw Jin'er coming in, he only waved his hand and didn't speak. The master and servant quickly went out of the courtyard, unaware.

Outside the corner gate, Master Ji San stood for a long time, and there were henchmen behind him.

"Uncle," Ji Xiaotang shouted, and then asked, "...... that little guy?"

"It's a friend who knows, don't worry." Master Ji San immediately said.

Ji Xiaotang didn't ask much.

"Uncle, am I thinking too much?"

"I'm afraid not." A sneer appeared on the face of Master Ji San, and there was a bit of disdain in his cold smile. "Xiaotang, let's take a look."

"Okay." Ji Xiaotang nodded immediately.

Zhizhi seemed to be very familiar with the pattern of the Gu family, so he led the way in front, and did not meet anyone on the way. At this time, the masters were resting after eating the banquet, and except for the people who served the masters, the others were still eating and drinking.

A few people walked around and walked outside the wall of a small courtyard.

The third master Ji told Ji Xiaotang, and the second master Ji was arranged to rest in the upper room of this small cross-courtyard.

This small courtyard is not far from the main courtyard, but there are layers of flowers and trees between them, which is very quiet. Uncle Gu found a good place for Second Master Ji to rest.

A few people did not enter the courtyard, but only stopped outside the courtyard and watched through the shade of flowers and trees.

The upper room was quiet, and it was obvious that Master Ji was sleeping peacefully. There are two small servants guarding the door of the upper room, both of whom are served by the second master Ji.

Ji Xiaotang glanced at Master Ji San.

"Just now you asked Jin'er to pass the word, I know, so I ordered them." If it weren't for Master Ji San's orders, these two little guys would still be pestering the Gu family and the Jiang family to eat and drink at this moment.

"Someone's coming!" The copper coin suddenly whispered.

Everyone was busy and silent.

Soon, two small servants walked into the courtyard and went straight to the upper room.

"It's the two who followed Jiang Qingshan." Copper Coin said in a low voice.

The two little guys are Jiang Qingshan's henchmen, one of them is the son of Song's sister-in-law, his name is Song Fu, and the other is called Qian Gui.

Song Fu and Qian Gui walked up to the top of the room and talked to Ji Er's little servant. As if he was afraid of waking up the second master Ji in the house, several small servants kept their voices very low.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't hear what they said specifically, generally Jiang Qingshan's two little guys asked the two little guys of Second Master Ji to continue to eat and drink, saying that they were guarding here, even if it was for the two little guys' class.

After a few people talked for a while, Song Fu and Qian Gui left, looking very unwilling, but helpless.

"If I hadn't instructed me, I don't know if these two boys would have fallen for someone else's trick." Master Ji San snorted in a low voice.

There is a small servant of the Ji family guarding the door, even if someone wants to make a ghost, I am afraid that there is no way to do it.

This is exactly what Master Ji San thinks.

"Look what they do!" Master Ji San smiled proudly.

As he spoke, he heard footsteps coming over without hurry. Different from the footsteps of the little guy, this time the footsteps were very soft. Immediately after, Ji Xiaotang heard the girl's voice.

Ji Xiaotang's face changed.

She didn't have to look to know who was coming. (To be continued) R655
