Chapter Ninety-Five: Get to the bottom of it

The first update, at the end of the month, everyone has a pink ticket to support more!

……

Jiang Qingshan planned to marry Jiang Xinglong in a beautiful manner.

Ma Wenhong and Jiang Qiao'er secretly exchanged glances, and neither of them dared to continue to persuade, but instead echoed Jiang Qingshan's words.

"Father-in-law/father-in-law's plan is good, this is how it should be done."

"I just feel in my heart that Gu Xia'er is a little unworthy of my brother." Jiang Qiao'er said again.

"I know you're all really doing it for the good of Xinglong." Jiang Qingshan nodded, with a look of relief on his face. "Now that this family business has been decided, don't talk about the rest. After the eldest girl of the Gu family entered the door, she should not be underestimated. ā€

Ma Wenhong and Jiang Qiaoer were busy nodding in agreement.

Jiang Qingshan stood up, walked to Jiang Xinglong, who had not spoken much, and patted Jiang Xinglong's shoulder vigorously.

"Son, do you like the eldest girl of the Gu family?" Jiang Qingshan asked.

"Yes, Dad." Jiang Xinglong replied without any hesitation.

"That's enough. Son, just happily wait for your daughter-in-law to come through the door. ā€

"Yes, Dad." Jiang Xinglong's two small eyes were shining, and for the first time since he was injured, he was almost happy.

This family business, only Jiang Xinglong is truly happy from the heart.

"Go get busy." Jiang Qingshan sent away Ma Wenhong and Jiang Qiao'er, and asked the little guy to push Jiang Xinglong down to rest, and then he returned to the chair and sat down.

Jiang Qingshan leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes gloomy.

Jiang Xinglong and Gu Xia'er didn't expect it.

For the first time, he was not surprised when he knew the Gu family's idea of playing on the second master of Ji. The Gu family's eldest daughter is not married, she is in the Ji Mansion all day long, and anyone with a discerning eye can guess what the Gu family has in mind.

However, Jiang Qingshan originally thought that the Gu family had taken a fancy to Master Ji San.

The Gu family wants to be a parent, but they just see the wealth of the Ji family, and they want to be able to rely on the Ji family all the time. The Ji family has the habit of marrying a small girl, and the third master of Ji is white. Even so, Gu Xia'er wants to go to Master Ji San, and she has only one to rely on, which is Mrs. Ji's maiden niece.

Marrying Master Ji San, how can you get one-third of the Ji family's homework.

But Uncle Gu's heart is even bigger, and he would rather give Gu Xia'er to Second Master Ji as a concubine.

Uncle Gu's eyes were red at all the property of the Ji family.

He laughed at his uncle's whimsy, but then he thought about it, but it was not impossible. He was very willing to help Uncle Gu. Putting aside whether Uncle Gu's wish can be achieved for the time being, he wants to see Second Master Ji's jokes first, and see the rebellion in the house in Ji's mansion.

But things didn't go as he wanted. He didn't see the joke of Master Ji, but saw his own joke first.

When he saw that Jiang Xinglong and Gu Xia'er were together, he was also stunned for a moment, and then thought that his family was calculated. He wouldn't have suspected the Gu family of calculating him at all. With Second Master Ji here, mercenary people like the Gu family will only see Second Master Ji.

It could only be the Ji family who calculated him.

Uncle Gu and the Jiang family were obviously stunned at first, and they dreamed of pushing Gu Xia'er to Master Ji Er. But the two of them quickly reacted, and there was no hope on the side of Master Ji.

Uncle Gu and the Jiang family entangled him and asked him to give an explanation to the Gu family.

Originally, they were allies, but in the blink of an eye, they tore their faces, and Uncle Gu and the Jiang clan used the rogue tricks that they originally planned to use on Second Master Ji on him.

He wasn't unannoyed at the time.

But soon, he proposed to let Jiang Xinglong and Gu Xia'er marry to settle the matter.

The lion of the Gu family opened his mouth, and he gritted his teeth and agreed.

On the one hand, things can only be solved this way. Although the Ji family understood that it was Uncle Gu who was calculating Second Master Ji, if the Jiang family did not marry Gu Xia'er, the Ji family would definitely not sit idly by.

Jiang Xinglong and Gu Xia'er's family affairs are imperative.

Although the Gu family is a scoundrel, Jiang Qingshan knows them very well, and he is confident that he can play with this family in the palm of his hand.

And Jiang Xinglong just needs a daughter-in-law.

A decent family affair, a decent daughter-in-law.

Although he concealed Jiang Xinglong's real injury from the outside world, who knows how long this matter can be hidden. But as long as there is the slightest rumor of leakage, it will be very difficult for Jiang Xinglong to marry a decent family.

At this time, the Gu family and Gu Xia'er are quite good choices.

After all, Gu Xia'er is still Mrs. Ji's maiden niece.

He agreed to all of Uncle Gu's dowry requests, but did not make any demands for Gu Xia'er's dowry. In Uncle Gu's opinion, he is only afraid that he will do this when he is afraid.

Jiang Qingshan sneered.

Uncle Gu took it today, and he will double it back another day. In this world, there is no one who can take advantage of him Jiang Qingshan.

As for the Ji family......

After marrying Gu Xia'er's family business, he is even more intimate with the Ji family.

In the meantime, there is a lot to be done!

Jiang Qingshan smiled proudly.

……

Ma Wenhong and Jiang Qiao'er returned to the house, and first saw that their son Ma Wencai was already asleep, and the husband and wife sent away all the people who served, and sat on the kang to discuss in a low voice.

The two of them had been living in Jiang's house for a while, and Jiang Qingshan specially set aside a cross-courtyard for the two of them to live in.

Ma Wenhong is just the son of an ordinary rich family in the countryside, and the residence of the husband and wife at home cannot be compared with here.

"Father-in-law, is this lard blinded or something," leaving Jiang Qingshan in front of him, and there were no outsiders around, Ma Wenhong couldn't help but speak casually and wantonly. "It can be of great use to marry Xinglong's daughter-in-law for nothing! Spend such white flowers and flowers! I can marry ten or eight daughters-in-law, and I want to take care of the rotten thing of the water-based poplar in my family! After that, it's all our brother's money. ā€

"Be careful what you say, the walls have ears!" Jiang Qiao'er's eyes were purring.

"I'm afraid." Ma Wenhong laughed, "When we live in vain these days?" This courtyard is full of our people now. ā€

Jiang Qiao'er was also a little proud.

"I said the same thing, but what can I do if my father just doesn't listen. It's hateful that the Gu family is too greedy, and a rotten thing like Gu Xia'er actually blackmailed so many dowries! Dad obviously knew that Gu Xia'er had the second master Ji in his heart, and he wanted to marry Xinglong for her. ā€

"Xinglong's body, marrying a daughter-in-law is also an ornament, it's better not to marry. Marry an unconscious person to enter the door, and I don't know how many things will happen in the future. I see that Gu Xia'er is not young, and she has already known the personnel, so I am afraid that it will be very difficult to get through the door. Ma Wenhong didn't know what to think, so she laughed obscenely.

"You can't say that," Jiang Qiao'er said immediately. In the Jiang family, the fact that Jiang Xinglong became a waste person cannot be mentioned. "I can see that everything else is okay, but this one thing is something that my father can't bear. Even behind the scenes, we have to be careful. ā€

After all, women are careful, and Jiang Qiaoer is much more cautious than Ma Wenhong.

"Xinglong's body, even our husband and wife are hidden, when we don't know! I think my father-in-law is guarding against us. Ma Wenhong is a little yin and yang.

Jiang Qiao'er didn't answer for a long time.

"Dad likes our brother." Jiang Qiao'er spoke again, but it was Ma Yucai who was talking.

"Xinglong is abolished, and my father-in-law is now only a grandson." Ma Wenhong's pride was beyond words. "Did my father-in-law tell you that he wanted to succeed our brother?"

Jiang Qiao'er shook her head.

"Isn't it my father-in-law who has other thoughts?" Ma Wenhong's eyebrows furrowed into a pimple. "My father-in-law said that he didn't want to remarry that day, isn't it true?"

"It should be true." Jiang Qiao'er said that she had tested Jiang Qingshan. Jiang Qingshan seems to have really stopped thinking about marrying again. On the one hand, it was because he couldn't forget Zhen, and on the other hand, the shadow of his wife in Jiang Qingshan's heart became thicker and thicker.

"Daddy is not a woman." Jiang Qiao'er said again.

"It's hard to say." Ma Wenhong rolled her eyes, "Let's not forget, there is another Miao'er." ā€

In addition to Jiang Qiaoer and Jiang Xinglong, Jiang Qingshan also has a young daughter Jiang Miaoer. Before Zhen's death, Jiang Miaoer's health was a little bad, so she was sent to Jiang Qiao'er by Jiang Qingshan and Zhen to be raised. Later, Jiang Miaoer came back with Jiang Qiaoer to mourn the Zhen family, but because of excessive pain, she was sick all the time, and she only asked the doctor for medicine every day, and did not come out to see people.

"Isn't it that my father-in-law wants Miao'er to recruit you?"

Thinking about it this way, although Jiang Qingshan currently only has Ma Yucai's grandson, there are many possibilities for those who can inherit the Jiang family's property.

"No wonder my father-in-law never mentions this." Ma Wenhong's face became gloomy.

"We have to think of ideas, and we can't have any accidents." There can only be one candidate for the heir of the Jiang family, and that is their son Ma Yucai.

"It's not like you can't do it, are you?" Ma Wenhong looked at Jiang Qiao'er and asked. "It's not for anyone else, it's all for us."

"Yes, for our talented brother." Jiang Qiao'er said slowly.

The candlelight flickered, reflecting the faces of Ma Wenhong and Jiang Qiaoer.

……

Ji Mansion, Mrs. Ji's upper room, the night is already a little deep, and Mrs. Ji has not slept yet.

Mrs. Ji is worried about Ji Xiaoyun.

Just when the lamp was in hand, Mrs. Ji Er suddenly sent someone over and called Ji Xiaoyun over. Ji Xiaoyun has been gone for nearly an hour, but she has not come back yet. Not to mention that Ji Xiaoyun doesn't go to Mrs. Ji's side very much, even once in a while, and she goes back when she goes.

What's the matter, Mrs. Ji was a little uneasy in her heart.

"Go to the second wife's side and see, what the second girl is doing there, why haven't she come back." Mrs. Ji couldn't sit still after all, and it was not good for her to go to Mrs. Ji to get Ji Xiaoyun back, so she called the big girl Dangui to come to her and gave such and such orders, and sent Dangui to see Ji Xiaoyun.

Dangui came back soon, but he didn't bring Ji Xiaoyun back.

"Back to the old lady, the second master is here, saying that he is asking the second girl something, so that the old lady should not worry, if she is tired, she should rest early." Dangui told Mrs. Ji about the words of the second master.

"What did the second master ask the second girl?" Mrs. Ji faintly felt that something was unusual, so she hurriedly asked.

"This maid doesn't know, the second master didn't say it." Dangui replied truthfully.

"Oh......" Old Lady Ji leaned back on the pillow, "I'm not tired yet, when Xiaoyun comes back, I'll sleep again." ā€

Ji Xiaoyun, who was concerned by Mrs. Ji, was in Mrs. Ji's house at the moment.

Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji were sitting on the couch, and Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang were sitting on a low chair separated from the couch. The other girls had already been pushed away, and only Vanilla and Xiangxiu stood at the door and waited.

Ji Xiaoyun's face was flushed, and she unconsciously stirred the handkerchief in her hand. Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji asked her a few words, and she could only answer vaguely.

"Go see me, is it your idea, or Gu Xia'er's idea?" Second Master Ji asked Ji Xiaoyun.

"Yes, it was my idea." Ji Xiaoyun's eyes flickered a little. "I—I want to be filial to my father."

Ji Xiaotang watched from the side, and knew that what Ji Xiaoyun said was not the truth. Ji Xiaoyun is actually not good at lying. Mrs. Ji brought up Ji Xiaoyun, in addition to instilling some strange ideas in Ji Xiaoyun, she raised Ji Xiaoyun very simply.

"It was Gu Xia'er who made you think it was your idea." Ji Xiaotang said, "Without Gu Xia'er, can you know where your father is drunk and resting?" ā€

Ji Xiaoyun glanced at Ji Xiaotang dissatisfied, obviously being said by Ji Xiaotang.

Second Master Ji knew at a glance that there was no need to ask this question again.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ You want to be filial to me, go to see me, and send me sobering soup, why did you take Gu Xia'er with you, and take away the little servant who served me at the door? ā€

"I'm ......" Ji Xiaoyun and I thought for a long time, and finally said in a hesitant manner. I'm used to Aunt Xia accompanying me, and if I go to see my father alone, I, I'm afraid. ā€

This sentence made Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er a little soft-hearted.

"Aunt Xia, she admires her father very much. The words that Dad promised to write for her have not yet been written. ā€

"What words, Gu Xia'er reminded you, right?" Ji Xiaotang said.

Ji Xiaoyun didn't speak, but her expression was acquiescing.

That day, she followed Gu Xia'er out of the main courtyard, first sat in a gazebo for a long time, and then a girl from the Jiang family came over with a tray and saluted the two.

Gu Xia'er asked the little girl, and she knew that Second Master Ji was drunk and resting in the small cross courtyard.

It was indeed Gu Xia'er who reminded her that this was a good opportunity to be filial and care for Second Master Ji. Then Gu Xia'er mentioned that Second Master Ji still owed her a word.

Ji Xiaoyun didn't have to hesitate at all, so she took Gu Xia'er to see Second Master Ji together.

As for branching out......

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ It's the birthday of my uncle and the old lady, and I'm kind of heart, I'm afraid that I won't be able to entertain the people below. Aunt Xia said that her family sometimes has to look at people's faces, and the people around her father are even more thoughtful. ā€

Let Second Master Ji's servant continue to eat and drink, and naturally there will be people from the Gu family to serve Second Master Ji, which is naturally what Gu Xia'er said.

"Okay, these fathers and mothers don't blame you. You saw your father drunk there, why did you leave by yourself, but left Gu Xia'er alone with me? Second Master Ji stared at Ji Xiaoyun, "Xiaoyun, don't lie, don't say that you don't know what Gu Xia'er's idea is!" ā€R1152
