Chapter 185: Father
Xie Huaijin's love improved significantly, and Ji Xiaotang was relieved. The family of three did not have dinner at Xie's house, so they returned to Jifu.
After seeing off Master Ji Er and his entourage, Xie Zhixian and Xie Huaijin both went to Mrs. Xie's room to sit.
Mrs. Xie's love was not affected by Xie Huaijin's failure to make the list, so she had a long talk with Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Xie's face was full of joy at the moment.
Mrs. Xie also saw that Xie Huaijin was no longer as depressed as when she first came back.
"What am I talking about, your Uncle Ji and aunt will never dislike you because of this. Xiaotang is not such a short-sighted, greedy and vain child. Mrs. Xie said to Xie Huaijin with a smile.
Xie Huaijin was a little happy, but also a little scared.
"I know. Mother, I'm not worried about this, I just feel uncomfortable. Xie Huaijin said to Mrs. Ji. He wants to be more worthy of Ji Xiaotang and give Ji Xiaotang a better one. If he is a person who goes to the Ji family to propose marriage, it is a matter of giving the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang a long face.
"Dad, mother, that ...... What about procuring relatives? Although Xie Huaijin was timid, he was not ambiguous in this matter.
"Do you want us to propose marriage to your Uncle Ji and aunt?" Of course, Mrs. Xie knew what Xie Huaijin meant, but she still asked deliberately.
Xie Huaijin nodded, while looking at Xie Zhixian from under his eyes.
Mrs. Xie is easy to say anything here, as long as he begs and begs well, there is no one who does not agree to him. Xie Huaijin's only concern is his father, Xie Zhixian.
Xie Zhixian held the teacup in his hand and was silent.
"Mother......" Xie Huaijin looked at Mrs. Xie pleadingly.
In this matter. Mrs. Xie and Xie Huaijin have the same thoughts, and both of them can't wait to marry Ji Xiaotang into the door as soon as possible.
Mrs. Xie coughed twice deliberately, and Xie Zhixian really raised her head. looked at Mrs. Xie.
"Sir, what do you think? Although the two children are not too old, there is nothing wrong with deciding the family affairs earlier. Huai Jin has been able to settle down since then and study harder. Mrs. Xie said softly to Xie Zhixian.
"The eldest husband starts a business first, and then starts a family. You're just a little talent now, and I want to marry your Xiaotang sister! When you go to take the township exam. What do you say, you still bring it up now, you are not ashamed of yourself! Xie Zhixian said in a deep voice.
Xie Huaijin lowered his head.
Mrs. Xie looked at her son. When he looked at his husband again, he raised his eyebrows.
"Huai Jin is already uncomfortable in his heart, why do you still talk about him like this! Originally, he went this time to go for training. Uncle Ji said the same thing. Huai Jin is not unwilling to be motivated. If you want to urge him, it's not like that. Good child, you are counted down like this, I am afraid that I will lose my heart from now on! ”
Mrs. Xie is a hearty character, and over the years, she has raised eyebrows with Xie Zhixian and his wife, Xie Zhixian can be said to love and respect Mrs. Xie, so in today's situation, Mrs. Xie dares to count Xie Zhixian like this.
Xie Zhixian was counted down by his wife. Don't be angry, laugh instead.
"What are you laughing at?" Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows again.
"I'm just ...... Ahem, Madame is right. It's for the husband, isn't it? Xie Zhixian smiled and apologized to Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie felt that Xie Zhixian was a little strange today, but she didn't think much about it, so she asked what Xie Zhixian thought about asking Ji Fu for marriage.
"What else can I think?" Xie Zhixian smiled slightly, "Xiaotang's kid is not so bad. I also wanted to set up this family affair for Huai Jin as soon as possible, but I was worried that Huai Jin would be useless and spoil Xiaotang's child. ”
"Dad, I will definitely work hard to study and improve, and I will not live up to my father's expectations and Xiaotang." Xie Huaijin heard hope from Xie Zhixian's words, and got up and said.
"You're clever at this." Xie Zhixian glanced at his son and said lightly.
Xie Huaijin was said a little ridiculously, but his face was still difficult to hide his joy.
"I just talked to Brother Wen Min, and I saw that he didn't dislike Huai Jin for being just a showman. That being the case, what about ...... Let's go and propose. Xie Zhixian glanced at his son twice, then turned back and said to Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie and Xie Huaijin were both overjoyed.
"Then let's pick a good day to propose!" Mrs. Xie said.
"Prepare well, don't slack off." Xie Zhixian nodded.
After explaining the things that should be prepared to Mrs. Xie to take care of it, Xie Zhixian came out of Mrs. Xie's house and went straight to the study in front of him to sit.
"Brother Wen Min, we are going to be a family of children and daughters, are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?" Xie Zhixian sat on the chair, thought for a long time, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself in a low voice.
The three brothers of the Ji family, the original family business should naturally be inherited by Master Ji. But for various reasons, Master Ji almost actually got out of the Ji family, and later the old lady Ji relied on the most was actually the second master Ji.
If there is no accident, the Ji family's big family business will be inherited by the second master Ji in the end.
And Ji Xiaotang has always been the pearl of Ji Er's palm. Second Master Ji almost raised Ji Xiaotang as a son. After Ji Xiaotang, the second master and the second wife of Ji have not given birth for more than ten years, and Xie Zhixian even secretly thought about whether the second master Ji would let Ji Xiaotang as the heir.
This kind of thing can be said to be unbelievable today, but with Xie Zhixian's understanding of Ji Er, Ji Er's master did such a shocking thing.
Even if on the surface, Second Master Ji will not recruit others, but the important things of the Ji family, Second Master Ji will definitely pass them on to Ji Xiaotang.
However, when Second Master Ji has a son, things should be different. But according to his observations, this is not the case. It takes more than ten years to grow up in immortality. And the second master Ji's love and attention to Ji Xiaotang has not weakened at all because of the birth of immortality.
On the contrary, Ji Xiaotang's weight in the Ji family and in the heart of the second master of Ji seems to have increased.
Changsheng is still too young to know what his temperament is. Even if he grows up, it's hard to say what he will become.
Moreover, whoever can guarantee immortality will grow up.
……
The autumn breeze is getting cooler. But it's not really cold yet, all year round, Ji Xiaotang likes this season the most.
Every morning. She will get up early, accompanied by the rising sun, to take a walk in the Ruyi Garden. At this time, the people had not yet completed their plans in the garden, and the ground was full of golden to fiery leaves.
Ji Xiaotang likes to feel the coolness at this time, as well as the feeling of stepping on fallen leaves.
Sometimes, Ji Xiaotang will also bring out Changsheng. Let Changsheng's feet in thick shoes also step on the fallen leaves. Changsheng didn't know how to leave at all at this time, but he was very happy to play every time, and he couldn't stop giggling with Ji Xiaotang.
Changsheng is a little older. I can't stay in the house, and I always like to play outside. Second Mrs. Ji always said that it was all Ji Xiaotang's fault, it was Ji Xiaotang who took Changsheng out too much, and brought Xiao Changsheng to the wild.
Ji Xiaotang just laughed. Of course, Mrs. Ji didn't really blame Ji Xiaotang.
The day was over. Ji Xiaotang saw that the weather was good, so he took Changsheng out again, played in the Ruyi Garden for a long time, and sat in the library pavilion for a while before returning to Mrs. Ji's house.
Mrs. Ji Er sat on the couch, holding a needle and thread in her hand, but her expression was in a daze.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Ji Xiaotang walked up quietly. Let Changsheng touch the face of Mrs. Ji with his little hand.
"It's back!" Mrs. Ji Er seemed to have come back to her senses at this time, so she took Changsheng and hugged him in her arms.
Changsheng was happy to play outside. is not honest in the arms of Mrs. Ji, and she is very happy.
"Don't look at this little arm and leg, Changsheng is very serious." Mrs. Ji Er smiled.
Immortality is the longer it gets, the stronger it gets, and the more cute it becomes.
Second Mrs. Ji teased her life for a long time, and her eyes glanced at Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang immediately knew that Mrs. Ji Er had something on her mind.
"Mother, what's wrong, can't you sue me?" Ji Xiaotang sat next to Mrs. Ji.
"Your Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie are coming to propose." Mrs. Ji finally sued Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang was silent all of a sudden. She remembered her previous life, although at that time, the two families had already had a tacit understanding between her and Xie Huaijin, but the Xie family did not really come to the door to propose marriage from beginning to end.
The Xie family did this for a good reason, because Xie Huaijin failed to pass the exam. The meaning conveyed by the Xie family is to wait for Xie Huaijin to participate in the township test next time, and then come to the door to propose marriage in a beautiful manner.
However, neither she nor Xie Huaijin could wait for that time.
Before the so-called next township test, Xie Huaijin died, and the Ji family also fell into ruins.
This time, Xie Huaijin still failed in the township test, but the Xie family wanted to come to the door to propose marriage.
What has changed?
Ji Xiaotang wanted to know very much.
"It's your Uncle Xie who revealed to your father what he meant, saying that these two days are good days, and he wants to come to the door." Ji Xiaotang didn't speak, and Mrs. Ji Er had already spoken by herself.
Mrs. Ji Er just told Ji Xiaotang the news, and she didn't ask Ji Xiaotang's opinion at all, in Mrs. Ji's opinion, this is not necessary to ask at all.
Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything, just said goodbye to Mrs. Ji, came out of the house, and sat in the Ruyi Garden.
She needed to think about it.
It's just that before Ji Xiaotang began to calm down and think, Second Master Ji came.
"Xiaotang, you come with me to talk to the library."
Ji Xiaotang followed Second Master Ji to the Library Pavilion, and Second Master Ji sent out all the people he served before talking to Ji Xiaotang.
"The Xie family is coming to propose marriage, your mother told you." Second Master Ji opened his mouth.
"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded.
"Hmm." Second Master Ji nodded and looked at Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang was hanging his head slightly at the moment, and the second master Ji could only see the top of Ji Xiaotang's hair from behind the bookcase. Second Master Ji sighed almost inaudibly.
"Before I promised you Uncle Xie, I was also a little hesitant. But when I think about it, I nodded. Second Master Ji's tone was gentle, "Your Uncle Xie has done a few suspicious things, but in the end, it turns out that his heart is still towards us." ”
In terms of Jiang Qingshan's request to buy officials, although Ji Er suspected that Xie Zhixian first revealed the news to Jiang Qingshan, but later he promoted Xie Gui and others, Xie Zhixian all agreed to it, and he also handled the documents and other things very neatly.
As for the other doubts, they are only doubts.
After all, it is impossible for Xie Zhixian to do everything and every sentence as the Ji family intended.
Second Master Ji considered Xie Zhixian's personality and the relationship between the two over the years, and decided to trust Xie Zhixian.
"At home, you are the heart and soul of your father, but this woman is married, and many things are often involuntary. You and Huai Jin have grown up together since childhood, and this relationship is the most difficult. Your uncle Xie also really likes and feels sorry for you......"
Second Master Ji agreed to the Xie family to come to the door to propose marriage, mainly to see Xie Huaijin himself, and Mrs. Xie, Ji Xiaotang's future mother-in-law.
The experience that Master Ji Er drew from his own married life is that whether a woman's life in her mother-in-law's house is satisfactory or not is closely related to her mother-in-law. Moreover, Mrs. Xie is in the back house of the Xie family, and she can be her husband's master.
To sum up, Master Ji Er believes that Ji Xiaotang marries into the Xie family and has a very secure happy life.
As for Xie Zhixian, although Second Master Ji still had some doubts about him, he didn't intend to tell Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang married into the Xie family in the future, and he was not able to interfere in the affairs of the back house, but in Xie Zhixian, he could do a lot.
Again, this is the insight he has drawn from the experience of his own married life.
Second Master Ji thought about his daughter very carefully, there is no perfect thing in this world, and this family affair can be regarded as very complete.
Ji Xiaotang silently listened to the various plans that Second Master Ji made for her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slowly curl. To be honest, Second Master Ji was a little chatty at this time, which did not match his usual personality and his age, but Ji Xiaotang didn't feel weird at all, he only felt very warm.
After Ji Er finished talking about the marriage of the Xie family, he saw that although Ji Xiaotang didn't speak, he had a smile on his face, and his heart was much more relaxed.
"Xiaotang, there are a few letters here, you can take a look." As he spoke, Second Master Ji took out a few letters and handed them to Ji Xiaotang.
Several letters have been opened, they have been read by Master Ji, and the dates have just been received in the past few days, and one of them was written by Master Ji.
Ji Xiaotang didn't ask much, and quickly read several letters.
"Ayo...... Is it the little marquis of the Mighty Marquis Mansion? Ji Xiaotang gently put down the letter, raised his eyes and looked at Second Master Ji and asked.
Second Master Ji paid attention to the change in Ji Xiaotang's expression and nodded slowly.
"You have read all these letters, Qi Qianhu, it is Qi Younian of the Mighty Marquis Mansion, this will not be wrong."
"Daddy wrote to my uncle and several uncles and uncles to inquire because of that arched suspicion, isn't it?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Yes." Master Ji Er did not deny it.
"I should have thought of the same name and surname, and that kind of character. But I didn't even think about it......" Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyes slightly, and even the second master Ji on the opposite side couldn't see her eyes clearly at the moment. (To be continued......)
