The Ji family is already the largest shareholder of the fleet, and the Hong family and the Wanjia family have discussed that they want to name the fleet with the name of the Ji family. This is not only taking into account the issue of shares, but also adding the signboard of the Ji family, and many things in the fleet will go a lot smoother.

Ji Er refused this suggestion.

The Ji family sent people to follow the boat, but they also said that they would just follow the boat to see, and the Hong family and Wanjia had the final say.

Now many people in Qingyuan know that the Ji family has invested in the fleet, but they don't know the amount of silver taels that the Ji family has invested in, and they just think that the third master Ji himself is making a small fuss.

Whether it is Ji Xiaotang or Ji Er, they all think that this is very good at present.

"When the fleet is familiar with the route, our people can also get started, maybe we can go to sea to have a look." Ji Xiaotang said while teasing Changsheng.

This sentence seems to be said to Changsheng.

Changsheng screamed twice, obviously very happy.

"Changsheng is very willing." Ji Xiaotang said.

Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji exchanged glances, and neither of them spoke.

Ji Xiaotang is a girl after all, and this plan to go to sea is afraid that it will be difficult to realize. The two of them thought so in their hearts, but they would never say it at this time.

As he was talking, a little girl came in outside to report that Master Ji San was here.

Master Ji Er said the request.

Master Ji San had already changed his clothes, came in to salute Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji, and took Changsheng into his arms and teased him. Changsheng still had some recognition at the beginning, but he couldn't stand the fact that Master Ji San was the best at coaxing children. After a while, Changsheng already liked Master Ji San very much.

"Your mother and son will rest first, and I will take my third brother and Xiaotang to the library to talk." Second Master Ji said.

Master Ji San let go of immortality.

The three of them came out of Mrs. Ji's courtyard. I sat down in the library. Ji Er waited for the little servant to bring tea up, and then he sent all the people who served.

Although there has been a constant exchange of letters, there are many things, and Master Ji still has to listen to Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang talk about it in person, and everyone happens to discuss it.

The most important thing, and what Master Ji is most concerned about, is the fact that the two of them are in distress in Mujiazhai. It's been a long time since this happened. But Second Master Ji will not let down his vigilance because of this.

"You say, those bandits are going for you?" Second Master Ji asked.

Ji Xiaotang and Ji San both nodded. Judging by all the signs. Exactly.

"Daddy, who wants to be bad for our Ji family." Ji Xiaotang asked Ji Er. This could never be a personal grudge with her or Master Ji San, it could only be because of the Ji family.

"I think Jiang Qingshan is the most suspicious." Master Ji San first expressed his opinion. He always thought that the mountain bandits were bought by Jiang Qingshan.

The experience of the third master of the Age. Jiang Qingshan is also the only object of suspicion.

Ji Xiaotang thought more than Master Ji San.

"Jiang Qingshan is suspicious. But I don't think it's likely to be him this time. Ji Xiaotang said.

"Why?" Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji asked in unison.

"Daddy and Uncle still remember that time we set a trap, Jiang Qingshan fell for the trick and took people to find the bones of his parents. The person caught that time, although he was also an outlaw in the rivers and lakes, was not the same as the mountain bandits this time. ”

The bandits last time were all sent to the Yamen, and the old cases were found out and dealt with according to the law. Those bandits tried to escape from prison, but they never killed themselves by hiding poison in their teeth. It is completely different from Mujiazhai and the dead soldiers who attacked Ma Wu in Ren'an City.

"What Xiaotang said makes sense. If Jiang Qingshan can contact these people, he used them last time. It should also be this group of talents. Second Master Ji nodded.

In this way, things are a lot more complicated.

For Jiang Qingshan, now Jiang Qingshan is in the light, they are in the dark, and they have the initiative. But if someone else is unfavorable to the Ji family, the situation is completely different, and the Ji family is in a very disadvantageous position.

"Maybe Jiang Qingshan hadn't been in contact with this group of bandits at that time, but he only got in touch recently?" Master Ji San proposed another possibility.

"It's not impossible." Ji Er said.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't completely rule out this possibility.

"Daddy, that person from the yamen, what clue has Daddy found?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

Second Master Ji frowned and shook his head.

Ma Wu left too few clues, and there were many people in the yamen, so how could it be so easy to find people.

"I've made arrangements, if there is any change in the yamen, we will know." Ji Er said. These days, it is impossible for Master Ji Er to have no action.

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"Didn't alarm Uncle Xie, did you?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.

Second Master Ji glanced at Ji Xiaotang.

"Nope. It's your mother's place, I didn't say it. In this way, it will not be possible for Mrs. Ji to accidentally reveal anything to Mrs. Xie.

"What news has Gu Xia'er sent these days?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.

"She's been here a few times, but there's no big news." Second Master Ji said, these days, Jiang Qingshan seems to have stopped a lot, and there is no big movement.

"Did she ask her father to help her leave the Jiang family?" I don't know why, Ji Xiaotang asked this sentence again.

"I didn't see her, I let your mother receive her. She didn't mention it to your mother. "Second Master Ji said, his expression was very calm." She wants to leave the Jiang family, but I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult. ”

"How do you say this, is it the old lady's side ......," Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Exactly." Second Master Ji nodded.

This was expected by Ji Xiaotang.

Uncle Gu wants to take advantage of the Jiang family, but Jiang Qingshan will let people take advantage of him in vain.

Whether it is Ji Xiaotang or Ji Er, they are too lazy to care about Uncle Gu's affairs.

After talking about Qingyuan for a while, Second Master Ji carefully asked Third Master Ji about taking the exam in Fucheng, and then talked about Wanjia Village.

"It's also a meritorious thing, and investing in the fleet is the so-called good karma." As Second Master Ji spoke, his eyes were a little distant, as if he had thought of something.

Ji Xiaotang and Ji San didn't bother Ji Er.

Second Master Ji quickly reined in his mind and looked at Third Master Ji with a straight face.

"It's inconvenient to say in the letter, third brother, it's very inappropriate for you to go to Wanjia Village and risk your life!" Second Master Ji was very solemn.

This matter was just hidden from Mrs. Ji, and the second master and Mrs. Ji knew about it afterwards.

Master Ji San didn't dare to smile facefully, so he hurriedly stood up, hung his hands, and looked obedient to the reprimand, but a pair of eyes secretly glanced at Ji Xiaotang for help.

Ji Xiaotang looked away and pretended not to see anything.

Second Master Ji pointed at Third Master Ji and reprimanded him with a crackle.

"Pay for it, hire people, no matter what, even if you take our belongings to do this, I won't blame you. But you shouldn't go on your own. How can you Xiaotang be compared to his grandfather and uncles. However, after learning kung fu for a few days, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. ”

"Why don't you want to think about it, if you have three longs and two shorts, how can I get by in my heart, and I have to ask for the old lady's life!"

"Second brother, I know it's wrong, and I don't dare anymore." Master Ji San didn't dare to argue, and he had already done the thing, so he admitted his mistake to Second Master Ji very sensibly.

After talking for a long time, Second Master Ji seemed to be a little tired, so he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"It's good that you really admit your mistakes. Don't look at me always urging you, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't go to the imperial examination, as long as our family is safe. ”

Master Ji's words contain feelings.

Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang both nodded, indicating that they had written it down.

"This matter is still hidden from the old lady, and no one is allowed to mention it in front of the old lady." Second Master Ji instructed. Although the matter has passed, if Mrs. Ji knows, I am afraid that she will not be able to stand it.

The three of them said a lot of things, and finally the second master Ji instructed the two of them.

"Xiaotang accompanies your grandmother and your mother more. The third brother also accompanies the old lady more, and then there is the peace of mind to study at home, and don't forget the matter of the township test. The eldest brother is also very happy to know that you are going to participate in the imperial examination. ”

Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San agreed.

After leaving for a few months, Ji Xiaotang's house was bright and clean, and there was no difference from when she left. It turned out that Mrs. Ji Er had to come over almost every day, sit in Ji Xiaotang's house, and many times bring Changsheng.

Changsheng will shout Tang in a milky voice, you can imagine how many times Mrs. Ji Er mutters in her mouth every day.

After a long journey, although he was a little excited, Ji Xiaotang still fell asleep early.

Returning to Qingyuan to reunite with her family, she still has a lot to do.

The next day, Ji Xiaotang got up and cleaned up, and went to Mrs. Ji's house to eat the morning food.

After the morning food, Mrs. Ji Er asked someone to carry a box of silver.

"Where can you give money to your mother, you only have a few private rooms in total." Second Mrs. Ji smiled and said to Ji Xiaotang, "You take this money and keep it at the bottom of the box." If you have any expenses, you will tell your mother. ”

Ji Xiaotang smiled and didn't refuse.

"Return the money your sister gave you yesterday," Mrs. Ji said again, "Your sister's share of the money is also from me." ”

Ji Xiaotang didn't make sense of this, so he happily agreed.

"You've done a very good job this time, you sisters just have to support each other. Your sister's temperament, you have to take care of her more in the future, so that your mother can rest assured. Second Mrs. Ji instructed Ji Xiaotang, and then sighed softly, "Xiaotang, try to be nice to your sister." Your sister doesn't have many days left at home. ”

"Mother," Ji Xiaotang was slightly surprised, "Sister, she...... Have you already made a marriage? ”

"There has already been a matchmaker who has come to the door to propose marriage, and I am afraid that the old lady will be in charge of your sister's affairs after all." There was worry in Mrs. Ji's demeanor that was difficult to hide. (To be continued......)
