Chapter 153: Beating Around the Bush
However, the two men quickly looked away.
Gu Xia'er's posture was slightly reserved, and she withdrew her legs and took a step back. Jiang Qiaoer also made a gesture of humility, but in the end she still went first.
Jiang Qiao'er was still holding her son Ma Yucai in her hands.
When they entered the house, Jiang Qiao'er and Gu Xia'er were both amicable, as if the stalemate just now was just someone else's illusion. Jiang Qiaoer took Ma Yucai, and Gu Xia'er came forward to salute Mrs. Ji Er, and then greeted Ji Xiaotang affectionately, Jiang Qiaoer also asked Ma Yucai to kowtow to Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang.
After the two of them sat down, Mrs. Ji asked people to bring refreshments, and Jiang Qiaoer was busy talking to Ji Xiaotang.
“…… In the past few months, the third aunt has become more and more depressed, and her words and deeds are all loved and respected. Jiang Qiao'er said with a smile.
Gu Xia'er is also smart, but compared to Jiang Qiao'er's ability to speak well, she is clumsy. But Gu Xia'er was very calm, and she didn't compete with Jiang Qiao'er to speak, just sat on the side with Xiaoxiao.
After talking for a while, Jiang Qiaoer said that Changsheng was cute, and she wanted to hug Changsheng, and asked Ma Yucai to come forward and get close to Changsheng.
"Don't look at it still in your arms, this is your uncle and grandfather, go and call your uncle and grandfather, and kowtow to your uncle and grandfather."
Ji Xiaotang naturally refused to let Jiang Qiao'er hold Changsheng, and only deduced that Changsheng recognized life.
As for Ma Yucai, it was Mrs. Ji Er's exit that stopped him.
"It's not during the New Year, Changsheng is still young, what are you kowtowing, don't be like this." When Mrs. Ji said this, she asked her to bring another snack for Ma Yucai to eat.
Ma Yucai took the snack. He picked it up and ate it, and then remembered to go to see his mother. Jiang Qiao'er's face changed slightly, but soon her face was full of smiles. He nodded at Ma Yucai.
Ma Yucai ate snacks with his head bored, and occasionally raised his head, but he showed an envious expression to the delicate toys in Changsheng's hand.
The Jiang family is now letting Gu Xia'er take charge of the housework, but Jiang Qiao'er and Ma Wenhong's family of three did not leave, but stayed all the time. Ji Xiaotang inquired and learned that although Gu Xia'er was in charge, Jiang Qiao'er was also in charge of affairs in the Jiang family.
The two sisters-in-law were amicable. In private, there are constant stumbling blocks. Gu Xia'er often suffers losses in her mouth, but she firmly grasps the power of the family in her hands.
Ji Xiaotang secretly looked at Jiang Qiao'er and Gu Xia'er, and yawned a little when Ji saw Changsheng. A pair of eyes also look like they can't open them. Ji Xiaotang hurriedly called the nurse to come and hugged Changsheng down.
Jiang Qiao'er and Gu Xia'er both asked Ji Xiaotang about Fucheng.
"I only went to Fucheng once before I went out, and it was really a good place to be bustling and lively. …… I heard that there are some foreign goods shops in Fucheng. The third aunt can go shopping. That day I saw someone bring a Western gadget, but it was so delicate. ”
The foreign goods store was Ji Xiaotang's idea, and she still has shares in the shop. Of course, Jiang Qiaoer didn't know about this.
"Don't envy Fucheng, after a while, we also have foreign goods shops in the county, you can go shopping and know." Ji Xiaotang said.
"Are we going to open a foreign goods store too? How does the third aunt know? Jiang Qiao'er immediately asked.
The matter of the Ji family's shareholding in the fleet is not a secret in Qingyuan County.
"Of course I do. Because that's what I'm going to do is open this foreign goods shop. Ji Xiaotang smiled.
Jiang Qiao'er's face showed a surprised expression, but she didn't know how much it was true or what was false. Gu Xia'er also looked at it with concern.
"You know. My dad and uncle took a stake in the fleet that went to sea. The goods brought back by this fleet always had to be sold, and it was better to sell them in one's own shop than to send them to someone else's shop. Ji Xiaotang said, "My mother told my father that when the time comes, this shop will be used as a pastime for me." ”
What Ji Xiaotang said is also half-true.
Jiang Qiao'er and Gu Xia'er both nodded, and both of them were a little envious. In their opinion, Ji Xiaotang naturally would not go to run a shop, this so-called opening a foreign goods store, that is the Ji family's plan.
As for Ji Xiaotang's pastime, that is, Ji Er plans to give Ji Xiaotang the proceeds of the shop.
Ji Xiaotang is the heart and soul of Master Ji and Mrs. Ji Er, even if the two have a son, their love for this daughter has not diminished at all. Ji Xiaotang is only a few years old, and the foreign goods store is probably reserved for her to marry in the future.
"I just hope that this shop will open as soon as possible, and we can also go to see the world." Jiang Qiao'er said.
At this time, a girl came over and said that it was Mrs. Ji's words, and let Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang pass.
Second Mrs. Ji got up and took Ji Xiaotang and went to Mrs. Ji's yard. Jiang Qiao'er brought Ma Yucai and Gu Xia'er to follow behind, and the flattery along the way continued.
Everyone entered Mrs. Ji's upper room, Jiang Qingshan got up in a hurry, Jiang Xinglong couldn't get up in a wheelchair, and he also saluted Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang's eyes swept around, and he felt that the atmosphere in the room was good, and Mrs. Ji didn't look angry. Ji Xiaotang's gaze turned to Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji.
Second Master Ji nodded slightly to Ji Xiaotang, but Third Master Ji shook his head.
Ji Xiaotang immediately knew that Mrs. Ji still asked Jiang Qingshan, but she couldn't help Jiang Qingshan, this was fooled by Jiang Qingshan.
After greeting each other, everyone sat down again.
“…… Although I am not very wealthy, I can still put together some money. This matter of investing in shares sued me, and I can also join in the fun. Uncle doesn't love his nephew like before, and he didn't sue me for such a fortune. "Jiang Qingshan is talking to Master Ji Er and Master Ji San about the purchase of shares in the fleet.
"What a fortune thing!" Master Ji San smiled, "I'm just a little affectionate, just take out a few taels of silver to play." This going to sea is not like anything else, the risk is too great, so I didn't think about taking you with me. ”
Master Ji San understated it and diverted the topic.
Jiang Qingshan observed his words and looks, and did not mention it anymore, but instead said that Master Ji San had passed the examination for Xiucai.
"Uncle is raising his eyebrows this time. The villain on the street has always said that the uncle is not good, and I never imagined that the uncle could read, and this shot is a steady show in his hands......"
Master Ji San had a smile on his face, but he stood up, as if there was something important, and walked out.
Jiang Qingshan was slightly stunned, but immediately turned to Mrs. Ji.
Master Ji San's examination for Xiucai, no matter how many times I say it, Mrs. Ji can't get tired of listening to it.
Ji Xiaotang saw that Master Ji San had gone out, so he also came out under the pretext.
Master Ji San was standing under a pomegranate tree, teasing the starling in the birdcage.
"I listened to what he said, and if he was hypocritical, I came out and scattered." Seeing that Ji Xiaotang was coming, Master Ji San said.
Master Ji San's henchman is not far away, and no one is approaching, so Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang can talk with confidence.
"The old lady asked him, what did he say?" Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San.
"He's a clean shirker." When Master Ji San said this, he was a little angry. "He has always been cunning in doing things, and he has harmful intentions, and he knows that these things are inappropriate, so he has already found a way out."
Master Ji San sued Ji Xiaotang, and Jiang Qingshan shouted in front of Mrs. Ji that he was wronged.
"He also said that he heard some rumors in the past two days, and he was thinking about persuading his uncle and old lady, and he was also thinking about whether to come and tell us to know, so that we could persuade my uncle and old lady father and son to take the right path."
"Uncle inquired, it can't be human nonsense, how can he explain this?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Uncle Gu is just a small gamble on him, he has nothing to dare to admit, and he also told the old lady that he will not dare in the future. As for Gu Leier's matter, he also said that it was not him, but once he drank with many people, and Gu Leier was also there at that time, and someone invited him to sing, including Wang Xing'er. He didn't know what happened next, and he heard some rumors in the past two days, and he couldn't believe it. ”
Jiang Qingshan shirked the matter cleanly, and it happened to coincide with Uncle Gu's words.
"It's his usual trick." Master Ji San said.
Jiang Qingshan's trick is not unusual. He secretly arranged all the bad things, but when he investigated it carefully, he didn't handle it directly.
"That's it, I didn't think about what to do with him because of this." Ji Xiaotang said, "What we are doing is not to beat the uncle and the old lady and them, and if you don't let them, you will go down the evil path." Besides, although the old lady was fooled in the past, it was impossible for her heart to treat Jiang Qingshan like she did in the past. ”
"Uncle, you always remember that sentence, good is not enough to become famous, and evil is not enough to die."
There are some wicked people who have done many evil things, but they are still beautiful in front of people, and they seem to have no eyes in the sky, but this is just the time has not yet come.
"Is it full of evil, I think he is full of evil now." Master Ji San said.
Now that Master Ji San is talking, he can occasionally drop his bookbag. Although Ji Xiaotang bet on the question, Master Ji San only needed to memorize the answer, but his efforts these days still showed results.
"It's just that the time hasn't come yet." Ji Xiaotang said, "Uncle, sometimes, we need to be patient. ”
Master Ji San nodded.
The uncle and nephew talked for a while, and they were in a good mood, so they walked back with a smile.
Jiang Qingshan saw that the two of them were back, and they both had smiles on their faces, and the little suspicion just now was gone.
"The third sister is more and more like a big girl. In a few days, it should be the third sister's birthday, and there are many happy events in the family, so it is time to do a good job for the third sister. Jiang Qingshan suddenly mentioned Ji Xiaotang's birthday.
Mrs. Ji didn't speak.
"She's still young, and it's not a whole birthday, just according to the old practice of previous years." Ji Er said.
"The second uncle said this, the third sister is filial piety, but I am wronged for the third sister. …… The second uncle trusted his nephew, so he handed it over to his nephew, and the dignity of the security office was solemn, and he did not insult the third sister. (To be continued......)
