Chapter 138: Dragon Boat Festival

The first is to ask for pink. Pink power will have three more oh oh = ̄ω ̄=

……

"Although your mother was still young at that time, she was already a beauty. In this Ren Ancheng, there are also quite a few families who like her. Who knows, she doesn't look down on those boys who practice martial arts, but she likes it when she sees your father. ”

Speaking of these children, the smile on Shen's face was sweet.

"Coincidentally, your father likes her too."

Shen only said that Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji liked each other, and did not talk about the details, but looking at her demeanor and tone, Ji Xiaotang could also guess that at that time, Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji must have been happy with each other, and they were seen by the parents of both sides.

"At that time, your grandfather thought that your grandfather was a scholar, and I was afraid that he would not want to marry our martial family. But for the sake of your mother, your grandfather also went out open-mindedly. Shen smiled as he spoke.

That day, Mu Hong talked to Mrs. Ji about the day, what kind of righteous knot Jin Lan was just a false shot, and it was his original intention to be a family member of his children in the future.

"Your grandfather also told me that if your grandfather doesn't agree, he can't look at your mother sadly, so he just robbed your father and came back to marry your mother."

"Then won't my father become my mother's husband?" Ji Xiaotang also smiled.

The grandfather and grandson laughed at this.

"Fortunately, my grandfather was willing." After laughing, Ji Xiaotang said.

"yes." Shen's gaze was a little deep, "Your grandfather ......, your grandfather rarely admired anyone in his life." But I admire your grandfather very much. …… It's late at night, Xiaotang, let's sleep. ”

Shen said this, and covered the corner for Ji Xiaotang. I turned around and lay down and slept.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't fall asleep for a while. She always felt that Shen seemed to have something to do, so she didn't say anything about it. Just when it came to the second master of Ji and the second wife of Ji's marriage, and when it came to the old lady Ji, the Shen family clearly wanted to speak a few times.

The Shen family told her all the details of the Mu family, what else did she need to hide from her?

Ji Xiaotang was confused in his heart, but he could only put it down temporarily. Don't look at Shen's soft and weak. But it is a soft personality on the outside and strong on the inside. In the same case, if it was Mu Hong, Ji Xiaotang would be confident that he would be able to ask. But if Shen didn't want to say it himself. Others can't think of it.

However, today's Shen family's words, Ji Xiaotang did not gain nothing.

The Mu family has such a history, and later they were involved by the Ji family, so they were accused of mountain bandits.

The matter of mountain bandits. It is still necessary to solve it as much as possible. Eliminate hidden dangers.

Does Old Lady Ji know the history of the Mu family?

Ji Xiaotang thought about it for a while and knew the answer. Old Lady Ji must know. The history of the Mu family is just no one to talk about anymore, but it is not a secret. There is no reason why Old Lady Ji should not know.

Ji Xiaotang can understand that Mu Hong set this family affair for his daughter because he dotes on his daughter. And what about Mrs. Ji?

Old lady Ji has no reason to set this family for Second Master Ji.

Mrs. Ji did not meet the criteria for the Ji family to choose a daughter-in-law. There is also a history like the Mu family, which is also deeply tabooed by the Ji family.

When the second master and the second wife of Ji were married, both of them were teenagers. Later, Mrs. Ji returned to Qingyuan. Mrs. Ji knew about this and was very opposed.

Mrs. Ji was quite indulgent to Mrs. Ji. But in terms of the family affairs of the second master Ji, he was abnormal, and he ignored the dissatisfaction of the old lady Ji, insisted on fulfilling the marriage contract, and let the second master Ji marry the second wife into the door.

Old Mrs. Ji attaches great importance to the harmony of the back house, and he knows Mrs. Ji's temperament very well, so he should have expected that after Mrs. Ji enters the door, there will be constant conflicts between Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji.

The discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the bane of the back house.

Why did Mrs. Ji know this, but also agreed to the family affairs, and did not regret the marriage later?

Is it because you love your son? Because you want to repay the Mu Hong family for saving their lives?

After all, Ji Xiaotang is still young, and he has not spent much time with Mrs. Ji. But when she thought about it, she felt that Mrs. Ji was not such a person.

So, did Old Lady Ji take a fancy to Second Mrs. Ji, or rather, what did he like about the Mu family?

With such doubts, Ji Xiaotang gradually sank into sleep.

In his sleep, Ji Xiaotang seemed to have walked into a deep mountain. In the depths of the mountain, two tall stone doors rumbled open, and inside......

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the day of the Dragon Boat Festival

Mu Hong and the others were not at home, so the Shen family discussed with the Zhang family, Ji Xiaotang, and Mu Jiahao how to spend this Dragon Boat Festival.

"Although they are not here, we still have to celebrate this festival as usual......"

The Dragon Boat Festival in Ren'an City is very lively, there are temple fairs, and dragon boat racing.

"Xiaotang is still here for the first time, let's pack up, let's go to the temple fair together, watch the dragon boat race and ......" Shen said so, and also prepared a coat to wear when he went out, but Ji Xiaotang could see that Shen's interest was not high.

It was not an ordinary errand for Muhong and his son to go out this time.

The Japanese are brutal, and although this errand is planned to be moved, it is still dangerous.

Ji Xiaotang is not only worried about Mu Hong's father and son, but also about Master Ji San. Moreover, she also remembers Qi Younian.

Not to mention the Shen family, even she doesn't have the heart to go out to play at this time. Ji Xiaotang knew that Shen said that he wanted to go out, mainly for her sake.

"Grandmother, I don't want to go out." Ji Xiaotang said to Shen, "It's the same if we celebrate the festival at home." What's so funny, when my grandfather and uncle come back, we can go together again. ”

"If it were up to me, we could also wait for my grandfather and them to come back this festival, and by the way, we would celebrate my grandfather and uncles, wouldn't it be better."

Shen looked at Ji Xiaotang and smiled when he saw what she said sincerely.

"No wonder your mother always says you're the most sensible. At a young age, he will be considerate of people like this. I love to hear Xiaotang's words. Shen said with a smile.

Zhang was also very happy.

"It's just like this, I have wronged our Xiaotang." Shen said again.

"What grievances are you talking about? I'm not a few years old anymore. Speaking of this, Ji Xiaotang remembered Mu Wanjie. She lowered her head, and Mu Wanjie was looking at her with blank eyes.

"I'm not a five- or six-year-old anymore. I grew up. Mu Wanjie blinked, and immediately puffed up his chest. I'll wait for my grandfather, father, and uncle to come back together, and then take me and Sister Xiaotang out to play. ”

"Good boy." Zhang picked up Mu Wanjie and kissed him on the chubby face.

Of course, the Shen family refused to really wronged Ji Xiaotang, although they didn't arrange to go out to play again, but the family prepared a rich banquet. Shen also took out two handmade shirts and skirts, sachets and purses and other things to Ji Xiaotang. Shen is ingenious. The shirt dress is very beautiful.

"Thank you, grandmother." Ji Xiaotang happily took it, and immediately went to the back room to change it, and then came out to sit with the Shen family.

Muhong and the others set off on their own. No news has come back.

At noon, Ji Xiaotang and Zhang both went to Shen's house with a tacit understanding.

Mu Wanjie made a fuss for a while, and he couldn't stay up and fell asleep next to him.

Ji Xiaotang didn't feel sleepy at all, and looked at the side again. Both Shen and Zhang had no intention of resting.

The three of them sat silently under the lamp and needlework. Occasionally say a word or two, and no one mentions the men.

On the third watch, Shen raised his head from the embroidery.

"I didn't pay attention, it's already this hour. It's all over. Shen said, "Don't toss back and forth between the eldest daughter-in-law, just sleep next to Xiaojie." ”

"Mother and Xiaotang rest first, I'm not sleepy." Zhang said, "Wait until I finish the soles of Xiaojie's father's shoes." I'll go to sleep again. ”

Zhang doesn't like to do needlework, but the clothes, shoes and feet on Mu Jiaying and Mu Wanjie are all made by her. Exquisite though not much to talk about. However, the stitches are fine, especially the sole is the most thick and soft, and strong.

"Xiaotang go to sleep." Shen said, "I was sleepy during the day today, and I can't sleep when I lie down now." ”

"I'm not sleepy." Ji Xiaotang said, "After embroidering this veil, I'll go to sleep again." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and their thoughts on each other understood.

"Hey......" Shen sighed with a smile, and didn't urge Ji Xiaotang and Zhang to go to sleep. I don't know where they are now, if they have met those ......."

If there is no accident, at this time, Mu Hong, Qi Younian, Master Ji San and others should be in close contact with the Japanese Kou. Ji Xiaotang gently picked the wick, the flames jumped, and the room immediately lit up a lot.

In the candlelight, Ji Xiaotang seemed to see the sword light and sword shadow outside Wanjia Village.

On the fourth watch, Ji Xiaotang's veil had not yet been embroidered, and the Shen family was worried that Ji Xiaotang would break his body, so everyone rested in Shen's house together.

It seemed that not long after he stopped, Ji Xiaotang heard someone outside.

Ji Xiaotang opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that the sky outside the window had just turned a little white.

Both Shen and Zhang sat up alertly.

“…… The lord sent someone back to report the news. "There is a little girl who reports outside the door.

"Whoever you sent back, let him in." Shen Shi said immediately.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly got up and quickly cleaned up, and the person sent by Mu Hong to report the news had already been taken out of the door.

Ji Xiaotang and Zhang accompanied Shen out to sit outside, and then called people in for questioning.

Mu Hong sent back the colonel of the personal soldiers beside him.

“…… The old man and Qi Qianhu laid an ambush outside Wanjia Village and almost wiped out the widows. The old man was afraid that the wife of the family would be worried, so he sent the little one back to report to his wife. ”

"How are you and your lords?" Shen asked hurriedly.

"The master, the uncle and the second master are all safe and sound. The uncle and the second master killed the enemy bravely, and the lord was very happy. The little colonel replied. Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao have both won a lot of Japanese heads, and they are not small military feats when they come back.

Both Shen and Zhang had happy expressions on their faces.

"Can Master Ji San be by my grandfather's side?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Master Ji San is also safe, saying that he also saved someone, but the specific small ones are not clear." The little school was also busy answering.

"What about Qi Qianhu?" Shen asked again.

"This time, it was Qi Qianhu who arranged the troops and was able to wipe out the Japanese in one net, thanks to Qi Qianhu's use of troops like a god." The little school immediately said.

"How many people are there? Where are you now, and when will you be back? Ji Xiaotang asked.

“…… The battlefield was being counted, and there were about 200 Japanese pirates. …… I was sent to deliver the message first, and there are many follow-up things to take care of, but I am afraid that I will not be able to come back today, and I am afraid that my family will worry. The school said.

Mu Hong sent his own soldiers back, one is to keep the Shen family safe, and the other is to tell the Shen family, and they will not be able to return until tomorrow at the earliest.

Naturally, this pro-soldier colonel did not come back alone.

Qi Younian and Mu Hong cleaned up the widows, and immediately sent people back to deliver letters to the thousands of households in the Ren Security Office. When I went out to train the army, I happened to encounter the Japanese invaders, and I didn't have time to report to my superiors that I stopped the Japanese invaders on the spot, which naturally had to be reported layer by layer.

This pro-soldier colonel came back with the colonel who delivered a letter to the thousands of households in the Ren Security Guard.

After the little colonel finished reporting to the Shen family here, he said goodbye and said that he would go back immediately.

"When the Lord of Qianhu gets the report, he will definitely personally lead the troops to Wanjia Village. The small ones will go with the team, and it is not easy to delay. As he said this, the Colonel smiled, with a hint of cunning in his smile.

It turned out that the pro-soldier colonel next to Mu Hong was extremely clever.

Shen naturally wouldn't stop him, and on the one hand, he gave the school a reward, and asked the school to bring hot soup and rice. The little colonel didn't sit on the Mazha that Shen asked him to sit on, so he squatted on the ground and snorted and ate, and then kowtowed to Shen and left.

"This time, Dad has done a great job." The smile on Zhang's face couldn't be hidden, "Lord Qianhu wants to lead the troops to share the merits of the war!" ”

It turns out that Zhang is also an understanding person.

This is not surprising. After all, he was born in a military household and married into a military household, so he is naturally a little more sensitive than others about things in the army and sees them more clearly.

"As long as they're all safe." Shen said.

"Yes, my mother is right." Zhang immediately said.

……

Mu Hong, Qi Younian, Ji San and others returned to Ren'an City on the ninth day of the first month of May. Mu Hong and the others went to the Yamen of the Guard House first, and Master Ji San was the first to return to the Mu Mansion.

Ji Xiaotang had already waited at the door with someone.

Master Ji San dismounted at the door, but he didn't see Ji Xiaotang, but turned around to talk to someone.

I don't know how he has spent the past few days, but he is still wearing the same clothes as when he went out, but he is already dirty and torn. Master Ji San's face is also black and white, I don't know if this face has not been washed for a few days.

If Mrs. Ji saw it, she didn't know how distressed she would be, Ji Xiaotang thought to herself.

"Uncle." Ji Xiaotang shouted.

When Master Ji San heard this, he immediately turned his head and saw Ji Xiaotang, a big smile bloomed on Master Ji San's face, and he immediately walked over like a fly.

"Xiaotang." Master Ji San walked to Ji Xiaotang's side and stretched out his hand, but he paused halfway.

Master Ji San's face showed an extremely embarrassed look.

"Xiaotang, that, Uncle is too dirty......"

It turns out that he knows it himself!

"Uncle, you're back, let's settle the score!" Ji Xiaotang grabbed Master Ji San and walked to the courtyard.

Master Ji San had a bitter face. I thought I could enjoy the treatment of a triumphant hero, but who would have thought that as soon as I entered the door, I was taught a lesson by my little niece as a child in trouble! (To be continued......)
