Chapter 32: The Banquet
Chapter 32: The Banquet
April 19 is the birthday of the Jiang family's grandmother Zhen, Jiang Qingshan wants to do a good job, and invites the Ji family to go over to listen to the play.
"Is your daughter-in-law feeling better?" Mrs. Ji asked. If Zhen was still seriously ill and dying as he said a few days ago, Jiang Qingshan would not have given her a birthday with such fanfare, and would have to invite the Ji family to come over.
"Thanks to my grandmother. My daughter-in-law has finally gotten better in the past two days and is able to sit up. If Lang Zhong hadn't told her not to go out yet, she would have come to kowtow to her grandmother, uncles and aunts in person. ”
"Which Lang Zhong medicine did you take?" Mrs. Ji asked. Zhen took a lot of medicine and didn't get better, but now that he is better, Lang Zhong, who prescribes prescriptions, is very good.
"It's not Langzhong from the county seat, it's a fairy medicine given by a Taoist immortal from Youfang." Jiang Qingshan made a sudden, and then said with a smile. "It's a pity that the immortal chief left the elixir, so he didn't say goodbye. Otherwise, I want to invite you to come to the house and meet my grandmother. ”
"Oh." Hearing Jiang Qingshan say this, not only Mrs. Ji, but also Mrs. Ji was a little regretful. But the person is gone, and there is no way.
“…… She asked me to pay my grandmother more, and asked my grandmother to go. …… The lively dramas are especially fixed, all of which are liked by the old grandmother......" Jiang Qingshan said busily.
Jiang Qingshan means that Zhen's rare improvement is going to take advantage of this birthday to celebrate, and at the same time to dispel bad luck.
Every year on the birthdays of Jiang Qingshan and Zhen, the Jiang family will come to invite the Ji family to a banquet. Mrs. Ji didn't like to go out in the first place, but as she got older, she went out even less. But Zhen's birthday, Mrs. Ji occasionally goes. If she doesn't go, Jiang Qingshan and Zhen will come over and kowtow.
The rest of the people in the Ji Mansion will go and sit down.
This is the extra dignity that the Ji family has given to the Jiang family.
There are no surprises this year, and we still have to follow the example of previous years.
Jiang Qingshan was a little more happy than in previous years, and he kowtowed to Mrs. Ji in a row, insisting on inviting Mrs. Ji to the banquet.
"I said a long time ago that I was going to see your daughter-in-law, and I haven't seen each other since she was sick......" Mrs. Ji was moved by what she said.
Jiang Qingshan was overjoyed.
"It would be better if I could have my grandmother go. The old grandmother is blessed. The daughter-in-law got the old grandmother to go down, but she was afraid that she would get sick and get better immediately. ”
Mrs. Ji smiled.
The matter was settled in this way, and on April 19, the Ji family went to Jiang's house to attend the banquet.
Jiang Qingshan took Jiang Xinglong and left happily, and Mrs. Ji's house was also full of joy.
Ji Xiaotang's face was flat, but there were waves in his heart.
This day is still coming. On April 19 of the fifth year of Longqing, Zhen's thirty-second birthday, it was a day that Ji Xiaotang didn't care about at the time, but he recalled it later, but he would never forget it.
This is a very critical day, for both the Jiang family and the Ji family. At this moment, the Jiang family and the Ji family, who were happy and happy, would not have thought of it. On this day, the Jiang family turned into a funeral. On this day, it is also the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion where the Ji family has fallen.
There were a few people in the house, and Master Ji San was the first to notice Ji Xiaotang's strangeness.
"Xiaotang ......" Master Ji San came over under the pretext of asking Ji Xiaotang with his eyes.
"Uncle, I have something to say to you." Ji Xiaotang looked left and right, and said in a low voice.
"Okay." Master Ji San saw that Ji Xiaotang must have something important, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment.
“…… Second brother, there are a few things I don't understand, and I want to ask Xiaotang to help me solve them. Master Ji San walked up to Master Ji Er, saying that he had encountered a problem while studying, and he wanted to ask Ji Xiaotang for help.
Although Master Ji San no longer worked the Four Books and Five Classics, he took the initiative to read some books on practice. When he encounters any problems, he only likes to ask Ji Xiaotang. If Ji Xiaotang can't solve it, he will go to find Ji Er.
"Don't mess around with your niece." Second Master Ji was accustomed to it, so he nodded and instructed casually.
"How can I be?" Old Master Ji San smiled, and said again in front of Old Lady Ji, and then came out of the house with Ji Xiaotang.
So the two of them went to the library cabinet. The library has become a special place for Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San to discuss important matters.
"Xiaotang, what's the matter?" As soon as he sat down, Master Ji San asked anxiously.
"Uncle, can you promise me one thing?" Ji Xiaotang thought about it, and asked Master Ji San.
"What's the matter?" When Master Ji San saw Ji Xiaotang taking things so solemnly, he knew that the matter was important.
"On the nineteenth day, don't go out. The Jiang family's banquet, uncle, don't go. ”
"I don't want to go, but your father is afraid that he won't agree," whether or not to go to the Jiang family to attend the banquet, Master Ji San didn't care very much in his heart. According to his own wishes, he prefers to stay at home and practice martial arts with the little guys.
But Ji Xiaotang made such a solemn request, and Master Ji San was a little moved.
"Xiaotang, why don't you let me go? Are you worried that I will come to his house and be lured by their father and son to do the things of the loser? Master Ji San asked Ji Xiaotang.
If it's just a loser, that's fine.
Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything.
"Xiaotang, you still can't trust Uncle." Master Ji San said.
Ji Xiaotang did not refute.
In Ji San's opinion, Ji Xiaotang did not refute, but acquiesced in his distrust of him. Whether it is Master Ji's casual instructions, or Ji Xiaotang's current attitude, it is all obvious that there is one thing.
They didn't believe that Master Ji San was really a prodigal son, and they were still worried that Master Ji San would go on the road he had before.
"Xiaotang, you ......, wait for me to show you." Master Ji San told Ji Xiaotang that on Zhen's birthday, he was going to Jiang's house. He wanted to see what trap the Jiang family father and son would set for him. He wants Ji Xiaotang to see that he is by no means a waste with weak willpower.
Master Ji San also tried to persuade Ji Xiaotang.
"They want to set up a trap for me to drill, and I have escaped this time, so there is no next time? If I don't go to their house, they won't come to our house? Xiaotang, don't stop me. I must go and prove it to you with my actions. Master Ji San clenched his fists.
Master Ji San's reaction was exactly the same as Ji Xiaotang expected.
The father and son of the Jiang family want to calculate the third master of Ji, and it is impossible to just hide.
Ji Xiaotang used the radical method, and what he wanted was the attitude of Master Ji San. The facts that happened next are too important to be wrong in the slightest.
"What Uncle said also makes sense." Ji Xiaotang said slowly. "I believe in Uncle. Uncle wants to go, and he must promise me one condition. ”
"What conditions, Xiaotang, do you just say?" Master Ji San said.
"Jiang Xinglong was beaten by his uncle last time, and he has been confined by Jiang Qingshan at home to recuperate these days. This time, taking advantage of his mother's birthday, he will definitely not be honest. According to Uncle Xiao's guess, what will he do? ”
"Jiang Xinglong's kid's temper, I know best." Master Ji San laughed, "He will definitely call his ordinary fox friend and dog friend, and it will not be ridiculous for a few days." ”
This absurdity is nothing more than eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
It turned out that Master Ji San was also one of such fox friends and dog friends, Jiang Xinglong didn't dare to take him to prostitution, and every time the highlight was gambling.
Jiang Xinglong's favorite thing is also gambling.
"Will bet. I vowed never to gamble again, and I wouldn't break my vow. Master Ji San said.
Ji Xiaotang nodded, what Master Ji San said was good.
"I believe that Uncle Xiao is as good as he says and will not gamble again. What I want my uncle to promise is not just not to gamble. …… I want my uncle to stay with me that day. ”
"Huh?" Ji Xiaotang's request, Master Ji San didn't expect it, and couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his head.
Following Ji Xiaotang means that you want to mix in the group of female dependents. For Master Ji San, this is a bit difficult.
"Is Uncle embarrassed?" Ji Xiaotang said deliberately, "I feel embarrassed just like this, how can I believe that Uncle was cut off with that group of people." ”
"Uncle promised me this, so I let Uncle go."
Master Ji San didn't agree for a while, but pondered for a while.
Is Ji Xiaotang's condition just to test him?
"Xiaotang, do you know what will happen that day?" Master Ji San asked Ji Xiaotang if Old Lady Ji gave Ji Xiaotang any hint in his dream, so Ji Xiaotang would make such a request.
"I don't know." Ji Xiaotang was telling the truth.
So far, some things have changed, some have not. She believed that Master Ji San would not gamble again, but on this day, she didn't want to take any risks.
Moreover, she also wanted to know if Jiang Qingshan would still deal with the Ji family if there was no Master Ji San to cause something.
"But, uncle, I hope you can believe me." Ji Xiaotang said slowly.
"Okay." Master Ji San thought about it, and agreed to it. He had long made up his mind to break with his past self, including the fox friends he had made in the past. Moreover, there would be no one else among the ladies that day, so he didn't need to be particularly evasive.
In a blink of an eye, on the day of April 19, Jiang Qingshan took Jiang Xinglong to Ji's house to greet Mrs. Ji and everyone.
The Ji family has been filial piety for Mrs. Ji for three years, and this is the first time to go out as a guest.
The maidens and daughters-in-law who served in each room were filled with joy. According to the practice of previous years, the Jiang family must have prepared a banquet for them, and they can also enjoy a day.
In the Ji family, they are subordinates, but when they arrive at the Jiang family, they are guests.
Everyone cleaned up, Mrs. Ji took Ji Xiaoyun in a carriage, Mrs. Ji took Ji Xiaotang in a second carriage, followed by five small carriages, and they were decent girls and daughters-in-law who served in each room. Mama Cheng was also invited by Ji Xiaotang to take a carriage.
The second master and the third master of Ji both rode horses, and the little women stepped down to follow, and they came to the stone archway.
The father and son of the Jiang family accompanied the second and third masters in front of them.
Pedestrians on the street took the initiative to make their way. The Ji family has been filial piety for three years, and everyone has not seen such a pomp for a long time, so it is inevitable to point fingers and discuss all kinds of envy.
Some envy the Ji family's pomp, and some envy the Jiang family.
In Qingyuan County, a cloth cloth can invite the Ji family to be like this, that is, the Jiang family.
What a decent, what a skill.
"It's a good weather today, Qingshan and Qingshan's daughter-in-law are really lucky." Mrs. Ji Er glanced out of the carriage and said with a smile.
Today was indeed a sunny day, exactly as she remembered. Did the Jiang family really change their luck? Will that tragedy ever happen again?
Ji Xiaotang didn't know, she only knew that no matter who it was, they didn't want to hurt her and her family again.
