Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Motive Is Unclear

The first is to ask for pink. At the end of the month, everyone has a pink watch reluctant to oh = ̄w ̄=

……

If he just wants to regain control of Qingxi Village, Uncle Gu should be reluctant to make such a capital.

"What else is he trying to plot! It's also too greedy. Master Ji San frowned, "Zhuangzi didn't let him fish for oil and water, because he was afraid that he would do bad things." It's not that we won't help him. Their father and son's monthly money is not less. These days, what they have looted from the old lady's hands, and the old lady sent people to send them, are they still missing? ”

Mrs. Ji gave all the gold ingots in her private room to Uncle Gu, and this matter still let Master Ji and Master Ji San know.

"If everyone was willing to be content, the world would be the same." Ji Xiaotang pondered.

"That's what I said." Second Master Ji nodded.

Uncle Gu invited the Ji Mansion to go down to eat longevity wine, and he must have a plan. However, this sake cannot be left uneaten.

"When the time comes, he can only act at the opportunity, and he won't be able to turn up much of a storm." Master Ji San said. He has some experience now, but his temperament is not as calm as that of Second Master Ji, but even more aggressive. Dealing with Uncle Gu, Master Ji San thought that he still had some confidence.

"It's better to be more guarded," Ji Xiaotang's thoughts were more detailed, "The Gu family and the Jiang family have been in close contact recently. ”

Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji both nodded.

Compared with Uncle Gu, Jiang Qingshan is more difficult to deal with.

Within a few days, it was Uncle Gu's birthday.

Except that Mrs. Ji Er was pregnant and it was inconvenient to go out, so she stayed to watch the house. The rest of the Ji family packed up and came to the banquet through the tobacco bag alley.

Because Uncle Gu's house is narrow after all, everyone didn't bring many people to serve. Mrs. Ji only brought a big girl, peonies and peonies. There are also two little girls who are calling. The second master and the third master only brought two small servants each. Ji Xiaoyun only brought the big girl Lilac, and Ji Xiaotang brought the big girl Jin'er.

Ji Xiaotang originally wanted to stay at home with Mrs. Ji, but in the end he came to Yanpouch Hutong.

Mrs. Ji is taken care of by Mama Cheng by her side, and she is accompanied by the big girls who are confidants, and nothing will happen. But it's hard to say about this side of Yanbao Hutong. Ji Xiaotang was very concerned about what Uncle Gu was trying to do.

After entering the Gu Mansion, Ji Xiaotang looked around. She didn't remember if she had been here in her previous life, this life. It was her first time here.

The house of the three entrances. Although it can't be compared with the Ji family's mansion, it is decent enough in Qingyuan County, enough for Uncle Gu's family to live very comfortably.

Uncle Gu and the Jiang family took Gu Lei'er, Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er to the door in person. The Ji family and his entourage went directly into the main courtyard to wait for tea and talk.

Uncle Gu sat under the kang and said a glittering polite word. Although Mrs. Ji takes care of her brother's family, she obviously doesn't come here often. She looked around carefully, and asked a lot of common words about life. The concern is palpable.

"This kang is bare, and I have a red sandalwood marble kang screen in the warehouse behind me. In the next two days, someone will bring it to you. If you come and go, you can put it up more decently. Mrs. Ji said.

Uncle Gu and the Jiang family hurriedly agreed.

"Only the eldest sister thinks about us everywhere." Jiang said with a smile on his face.

"I'm just one brother in total, and I don't care about who else you can worry about. You should also be angry, and don't let me cāo heart. Mrs. Ji said.

Uncle Gu nodded again and again.

Said homely. Old Mrs. Ji's gaze fell on Gu Xia'er.

"Xia'er, come and sit at my aunt's." Old Mrs. Ji greeted Gu Xia'er.

Mrs. Ji sat on the kang, and Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er were talking with Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang on the couch on the side.

Gu Xia'er saw Mrs. Ji greet her. Then he hurriedly got up and walked over.

"My Xia'er......" Old Lady Ji first held Gu Xia'er's hand and looked at it, "It's getting better and better." ”

looked at Gu Xia'er for a long time. Mrs. Ji seemed to be very satisfied, so she pulled Gu Xia'er to sit beside her, and asked Gu Xia'er what she did every day at home.

Gu Xia'er was dressed up today, and her eyebrows and eyes were extremely exquisite. Compared with when she was in the Ji family, Gu Xia'er's face and body seemed to have lost a little weight, and there seemed to be a faint sadness between her eyebrows. Even so, the shy appearance of hanging his head seems to be more touching than in the past.

People say that there are no ugly girls in eighteen, not to mention that although Gu Xia'er herself is not a national color, she is not ugly, and she is very good at dressing up.

"Your father and mother didn't wronged you?"

"My father and mother treat me very well." Gu Xia'er said, "Every day I am free is just doing needlework." I made two pairs of sleeping shoes and two pairs of loafers for my aunt, and after a while my aunt went to my room to sit down and try to see if it fitd. ”

"You kid, tell you to stop doing these rough jobs, and be careful with your hands." Old Lady Ji said distressedly, and looked at Gu Xia'er again, "...... I looked a little thinner. ”

"It's because of the bitter summer." Gu Xia'er said.

"This kid is like a big sister." Uncle Gu said.

"Aunts and nephews of the in-laws, who else can Xia'er be like if she is not like the eldest sister. I'm with Xia'er, no one says we're mother and daughter, Xia'er doesn't look like me at all, but like a big sister. Jiang smiled and showed two rows of yellowed teeth.

"It's a bitter summer, and it's time to get better. I'll send you some supplements tomorrow, and you'll have a good meal." Mrs. Ji said.

Since Gu Xia'er moved back to Yanbao Hutong, Mrs. Ji has not stopped sending things here. Even if Mrs. Ji can't remember it sometimes, Ji Xiaoyun will remind her. Many of the things sent were for Gu Xia'er to eat.

"Thank you, auntie. I'm always tired of my aunt bothering me. ”

"Silly boy, I'll see my aunt when I say this."

Gu Xia'er has been out of the Ji Mansion for nearly two months, and Mrs. Ji only said that she would send things to Gu Xia'er today, but she never mentioned when she would take Gu Xia'er to live in the Ji Mansion.

If it was usual, Gu Xia'er might not have shown anything, but there was no disappointment on the faces of Uncle Gu and the Jiang family......

Ji Xiaotang looked at Yiqiē in his eyes, and his heart suddenly became suspicious.

While the house was talking, there were guests outside.

"Who else did you invite?" Mrs. Ji asked.

"Not an outsider." Uncle Gu hurriedly replied, "It's Qingshan's family." ”

Mrs. Ji sighed.

Uncle Gu and the Jiang family were talking together in the house, and it was Gu Lei'er who went out. Brought people in.

The first to enter the door was Jiang Qingshan.

Ji Xiaotang hadn't seen Jiang Qingshan for a while, so he couldn't help but take a closer look. Even if Jiang Qingshan is not simple, such a huge change still leaves traces on his body.

Jiang Qingshan lost a lot of weight, his cheekbones on both sides were high, and his eyes were getting deeper and deeper. He wore a dark brown brocade trim today. There is * into the new. It looked like an old garment, worn on his current body, and it looked empty.

Jiang Qingshan was beaten in the yamen. Now that I will be recuperating for a few months, the injury should be healed. But Jiang Qingshan walked not as vigorously as in the past, and he still had a cane in his hand.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Qingshan took two steps. immediately threw himself on the ground and kowtowed to Mrs. Ji. The mouth shouted the old grandmother.

If someone who doesn't know sees it, I'm afraid that he will still be Mrs. Ji's own grandson.

"Hurry up and help me up." Where did Mrs. Ji see this, so she hurriedly ordered, "You kid." If you're not in good health, why bother with these false courtesies, can I blame you. Hurry up. Let's sit and talk. ”

Jiang Qingshan refused to get up, and really kowtowed to Mrs. Ji three times. Only then did he slowly stand up with the support of Uncle Gu.

"I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, and I don't have anything to show filial piety, so kowtow." Jiang Qingshan's eyes were slightly red and he looked up at Mrs. Ji, "I have long wanted to go to the house to kowtow to my grandmother, but I ...... I'm afraid of adding bad luck to my grandmother. ”

"What stupid things to say, it's not an outsider, and you don't need to pay attention to those people." Mrs. Ji said.

Jiang Qingshan immediately gave the second master Ji and the third master a salute. He still had to kowtow, after all, he was stopped by Master Ji.

"Your body is inconvenient, and your mind will be done."

At this time, the little girl lifted the curtain again, and it turned out that Jiang Qingshan did not come alone.

"Bring them to pay homage to my uncle's birthday, and also kowtow to my grandmother, second uncle and third uncle."

The first to follow the little girl in was a young woman, tall and slender, with a fair complexion and smart eyebrows, but it was Jiang Qingshan's eldest daughter Jiang Qiaoer.

Jiang Qiaoer is twenty years old this year, not born to Zhen, but to Jiang Qingshan and his second wife Ma, who has already been married, and is married to the cousin of Ma's mother's family, which can be regarded as a kiss.

Zhen passed away, Jiang Qiaoer and her husband came to the funeral, and Jiang Qingshan was left behind to help with family affairs.

Jiang Qiao'er also held a four or five-year-old boy in her hand, who was her and her husband's only son, Ma Yucai.

Immediately behind Jiang Qiaoer was Ma Wenhong. Ma Wenhong also pushed a wheelchair, and it was Jiang Xinglong who sat on it.

Jiang Qingshan's family has almost arrived. Uncle Gu and Jiang Qingshan's family, this can be regarded as a good family.

Jiang Qiaoer and Ma Wenhong took their son to kowtow to Mrs. Ji first, and then met the second and third masters of Ji, and then saluted both Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun.

Jiang Xinglong had two broken legs, so he could only sit in a wheelchair, resting his hands on his knees, and touching his hands with his head, which could be regarded as kowtowing.

Mrs. Ji even said that she was pitiful.

Ji Xiaoyun looked sideways at Jiang Xinglong.

Although Ji Xiaotang had nothing on his face, he was also very surprised by Jiang Xinglong's current appearance. Ji Xiaotang almost didn't recognize Jiang Xinglong anymore. In just a few months, Jiang Xinglong's whole person seemed to be blowing fat. A face was almost twice as big as before, and the flesh on the cheeks was about to hang down, almost squeezing out all the facial features.

"Xinglong's child's injuries seem to be well-nourished." Mrs. Ji looked at Jiang Xinglong and said such a sentence for a long time.

Not to mention that it is well raised, it is simply "too good".

A person like Jiang Qingshan actually watched his son become like this under his nose! Ji Xiaotang glanced at Jiang Qingshan.

Jiang Qingshan didn't look at Jiang Xinglong much, and occasionally glanced at it, and there was nothing unusual in his eyes.

As soon as there were more people, the room became a little crowded.

"You girls, go talk freely." Mrs. Ji said to Ji Xiaotang.

Gu Xia'er stood up and led Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang to her house with Gu Xue'er.

Jiang Qiao'er saw it, and hurriedly stood up.

"Ancestor, I'll go with my aunts. With me serving my aunts, my grandmother is relieved. Jiang Qiao'er said to Mrs. Ji with a smile.

Mrs. Ji was very happy.

"That's right, you go."

Jiang Qiaoer accompanied a few people out, but she didn't take Ma Yucai, nor did she hand over Ma Yucai to Ma Wenhong, but handed it over to Jiang Qingshan. Jiang Qingshan hugged Ma Yucai in his arms.

"Qiao'er is getting better and better, she is a neat lady in charge." Watching Jiang Qiao'er go out, Mrs. Ji boasted, "Looking at her speech and demeanor, she actually looks a little bit like her Zhen family." ”

"Grandmother has a good eye, and I say the same." Jiang Qingshan immediately said, "Although she is not her Zhen mother's biological child, she was raised by her Zhen mother herself." ”

Since Zhen's is mentioned, there are many words.

……

Gu Xia'er led Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang into the West Wing.

The house had obviously been carefully cleaned, and when you entered the house, you could smell a faint fragrance of lilies, which was the kind of incense most commonly used in Ji Xiaoyun's house.

Gu Xia'er was naturally very kind to Ji Xiaoyun, and she was faintly more careful when she treated Ji Xiaotang.

The kang was covered with a bright red brocade mattress, so Gu Xia'er invited Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang to sit on the brocade mattress, while pouring tea with her own hands, first serving it to Ji Xiaoyun, and then to Ji Xiaotang.

"Aunt Xia, you don't have to be busy, come and sit and let's talk." Ji Xiaoyun is obviously very familiar with this house.

Since Gu Xia'er moved out, even if Mrs. Ji stopped her, Ji Xiaoyun still came here twice, but she didn't eat each time.

“…… Tell the girls to come in and serve. Ji Xiaotang said.

"No need girls, let me come. The house is small, crowded and crowded. Besides, it's also part of my heart. Gu Xia'er said that she was simple here, and she didn't have any good things to entertain, she did it herself, and she could gradually become less apologetic in her heart.

"Then Aunt Xia doesn't have to be busy, and we don't need to be served, just let's talk freely." Ji Xiaoyun said again.

Ji Xiaotang took the tea sent by Gu Xia'er, just slightly touched his lips, and put it down.

Gu Xia'er's house was cleaned up, a few things Ji Xiaotang looked familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, Ji Xiaotang remembered that they were all things she had seen in Ji Xiaoyun's house.

Ji Xiaoyun treats Gu Xia'er with sincerity.

"My aunt and grandmother are sitting on the kang, and there is no need for a girl to serve, and there is still me here. I went to my ancestors, and I was sure that my aunt and aunt who served me would stop. Jiang Qiao'er asked Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er to sit, and she brought a few kinds of snacks and fresh fruits very neatly by herself, and asked Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang what they liked, and on the other hand, she quickly took snacks and peeled fruits for the two of them.

Ji Xiaotang didn't eat the snacks and fruits here, she only looked at Jiang Qiao'er.

"Sister Qiao often comes here?" (To be continued)
