Chapter 184: Late Autumn
After Uncle Gu and the Jiang family knew the truth, of course they would not let Jiang Qingshan go. The two of them found Jiang Qingshan and made a big fuss, and the final result was that Jiang Qingshan gave the two a lot of money and made a lot of wishes.
Uncle Gu and the Jiang family didn't make a fuss, but Gu Xia'er knew that they wouldn't just give up.
These days, the two of them have been running here very diligently, ostensibly to see themselves, but in fact they are looking for Jiang Qingshan.
The husband and wife thought that they had grasped Jiang Qingshan's handle, and they couldn't wait to move the entire Jiang family back home.
Her father and mother don't really care about her, but can use her to make money from the Jiang family.
And Jiang Qingshan gave the money, it seemed that he felt that he had crossed the road with her, and he didn't avoid people, Gu Xia'er hated it in her heart, but she was helpless.
Gu Xia'er was hanging her head and thinking about it, when she heard heavy footsteps outside, and immediately after, a little girl reported at the door, saying that the master was coming.
Gu Xia'er shook involuntarily, and Jiang Qingshan came to see her again. She couldn't wait to scream immediately, she could barely bear to be in the same room with Jiang Qingshan.
However, Gu Xia'er pursed her lips tightly and didn't make any sound.
A lot of things have happened, and it's hard to undo it. Since it's already like this, what else is she afraid of? Jiang Qingshan has ulterior thoughts about her, so she might as well just be wronged.
Ji Er explained what she had investigated, but she hadn't found out yet.
When she found out what mysterious person Jiang Qingshan was dealing with, she made a great contribution to Master Ji. When the time comes. She's going to have a new world of her own.
"Daughter-in-law, are you feeling better today?" Jiang Qingshan had already entered the house at this time, so he walked to Gu Xia'er's bed.
Gu Xia'er tried her best to suppress the disgust in her heart. raised his head and glanced at Jiang Qingshan lightly.
Gu Xia'er's attitude can be said to be very cold, but Jiang Qingshan saw it, but he was happy in his heart. At this moment, Gu Xia'er's attitude towards seeing him as if he was an enemy was much better than before.
Women are soft-hearted and short-sighted, and they can't hold back people's petty intentions. What's more, he used so much effort on Gu Xia'er. Seeing that Gu Xia'er gradually softened her, she took out some more money to buy off Uncle Gu and the Jiang family, and let the two of them persuade Gu Xia'er. Then Gu Xia'er's body and mind are all his.
Jiang Qingshan had a wishful thinking in his heart, so he tentatively sat down on the side of Gu Xia'er's bed.
Gu Xia'er seemed to shrink into the bed, but she didn't say anything.
Jiang Qingshan sat down reassuringly. Shook one of Gu Xia'er's hands......
……
Kifu
Ji Xiaotang rested all night. I wake up feeling refreshed in the morning. As soon as she cleaned up, she saw the nurse hugging Changsheng with a smile.
"As soon as the little young master wakes up in the morning, he will look for the third girl."
Now that autumn has arrived, the weather is a little cool in the morning and evening. Changsheng was holding a thin little quilt on his body, and he was stretched out two short fat little arms to Ji Xiaotang in the arms of the nurse, meaning to be hugged by Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang hurriedly got up and took Changsheng in his arms.
"Changsheng misses his sister?" Ji Xiaotang kissed Changsheng Pink on the cheek and asked with a smile.
Changsheng's two big eyes narrowed, and he grinned to reveal his small pink gums. He screamed. put his little face on Ji Xiaotang's face, and pouted his little mouth. smeared all the saliva on Ji Xiaotang's face.
Ji Xiaotang was also amused by Changsheng.
After playing with Changsheng for a while, Xiu'er reminded Ji Xiaotang that it was time to go to Mrs. Ji to ask for peace.
Ji Xiaotang evened his face again, and he hugged Changsheng and went to Mrs. Ji's house.
Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji were there, and the two of them were naturally very happy when they saw Ji Xiaotang hugging Changsheng.
"These days that you have been going to Fucheng, Changsheng has been looking for you every day. If I can't find you, I'll cry, and I'll have to coax you for a long time every time. Mrs. Ji complained, but her tone was full of joy.
"My uncle came back after taking the exam, and my sister didn't go anywhere, so she stayed at home with Changsheng." Ji Xiaotang rubbed his little buttocks and said with a smile.
Changsheng seemed to understand Ji Xiaotang's words, and giggled.
After a few people finished talking, they all went to Mrs. Ji's house again.
Mrs. Ji was in the upper room of the courtyard, Mrs. Ji was talking to Mr. Ji San, and Ji Xiaoyun was sitting on the side. Everyone in the room was smiling, but only Ji Xiaoyun seemed to be a little unhappy.
Ji Xiaotang didn't say much, so he took Changsheng to sit on the low couch next to him, while listening to everyone chatting about family life.
After sitting for a while, Ji Xiaotang noticed something unusual.
Master Ji San returned from the middle of the move, but Uncle Gu's family did not move. This is obviously a great opportunity to please Mrs. Ji, how could Uncle Gu give up? Moreover, in Mrs. Ji's words, she refused to mention Uncle Gu at all.
Yesterday, because she came back late, although she talked a lot with Master Ji and Mrs. Ji Er, there were still some things she didn't have time to ask.
Ji Xiaotang was thinking like this, when he saw Ji Xiaoyun slowly move over and sit on the edge of the low couch.
Changsheng recognized Ji Xiaoyun and greeted her oh, oh.
Ji Xiaoyun responded perfunctorily twice, stretched out her hand and teased Changsheng twice, obviously having something on her mind.
"Sister, we're back, why didn't anyone come from the old lady's side?" Ji Xiaotang asked Ji Xiaoyun.
Ji Xiaoyun glanced at Ji Xiaotang, with some grievances in her eyes, and ...... Reprimand.
Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly, very puzzled.
"Don't talk to grandmother about them." Ji Xiaoyun looked at Ji Xiaotang, then withdrew her gaze, and reminded Ji Xiaotang at the same time.
"Why?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Why else did they make my grandmother angry? Don't ask, these things don't you know. Ji Xiaoyun replied casually, at this time, she had the posture of an eldest sister, as if Ji Xiaotang was a child, and she was already an adult.
"Grandmother never gets angry with her uncle and old lady for a long time, it's definitely not because of immortality." Ji Xiaotang said.
"It's something else. Don't ask. Ji Xiaoyun said impatiently.
"Sister, you definitely don't know, otherwise why don't you say it." Ji Xiaotang said deliberately.
"How I don't know. It's not because Gu Xia'er ......" Ji Xiaoyun was the most unprovoked, and said immediately. However, as soon as she spoke, she realized that she had spoken out of her mouth.
Ji Xiaoyun glared at Ji Xiaotang hatefully.
"Do you still have the heart to care about this? You don't have a heart! ”
Ji Xiaotang found out that Ji Xiaoyun was really condemning her.
"Why don't I have a heart?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Why don't you ask Huai Jin?" Ji Xiaoyun said urgently, as soon as she said this, she seemed to break through some scruples, "Huai Jin is off the list." Do you know that you still have the heart to be like this! ”
Like the experience of his previous life, Xie Huaijin was unfavorable to be a teacher in the township test this time. I didn't pass the exam. Xie Huaijin hasn't returned to Qingyuan yet, but the news has already been brought back first. Naturally, this news did not spread, and now except for the Xie family itself, only the Ji family knows.
Ji Xiaotang also knew. Yesterday, Mrs. Ji Er sued her.
For Xie Huaijin's fall. Ji Xiaotang had already been mentally prepared, and he couldn't talk about being happy or unhappy at all.
However, Ji Xiaoyun condemned her because of this, which was too strange.
"Sister, my uncle was lifted, shouldn't I be happy?" Ji Xiaotang restrained the smile on his face and looked at Ji Xiaoyun squarely, "You look unhappy." Is it because Uncle Huai Jin is in the middle of the list, or because Brother Huai Jin is off the list? ”
Either way. Ji Xiaoyun had no reason to be so unhappy.
Ji Xiaoyun was stopped by Ji Xiaotang, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
Changsheng was in Ji Xiaotang's arms, looking left and right with a pair of big eyes, the child noticed that something was wrong, but obviously didn't know what was going on.
Ji Xiaoyun couldn't speak, so she stood up and rushed out of the room with a red face.
The two sisters lowered their voices when they spoke, and Mrs. Ji didn't pay attention to what they said, and at this time, they were all alarmed by Ji Xiaoyun's actions.
"What's the matter," Mrs. Ji temporarily put down her words to Master Ji San, and looked over and asked Ji Xiaotang, "What did you two sisters say, why did Xiaoyun become so angry?" ”
"Didn't say anything." Ji Xiaotang instinctively knew that he couldn't tell the truth, especially Xie Huaijin, "I don't know how to talk about my uncle and old lady, and my sister left." ”
Ji Xiaotang said this, and looked at Mrs. Ji's face
Old Lady Ji's face changed slightly.
"What is he doing without mentioning it? These are all my injustices. No one is allowed to talk to me about him again! ”
Mrs. Ji was angry.
Ji Xiaotang got up in a hurry and responded obediently.
Mrs. Ji had a fire in her heart, but this fire couldn't be directed at Ji Xiaotang no matter what, she could only endure it herself, but her mood was completely bad. Mrs. Ji leaned on the pillow and was reluctant to speak.
Everyone had to come out of Mrs. Ji's house.
Second Master Ji glanced at Ji Xiaotang, but he didn't say anything.
Ji Xiaotang soon knew why Mrs. Ji was unhappy.
It turned out that Mrs. Ji knew about Gu Xia'er in a trance, and this was not enough, she also knew about Uncle Gu and Jiang's actions later. Uncle Gu and the Jiang family took Gu Xia'er's matter as Jiang Qingshan's handle and extorted money from Jiang Qingshan.
Moreover, these two people also planned to simply sell Gu Xia'er to Jiang Qingshan.
In Mrs. Ji's opinion, this is simply a spineless and shameless act. Mrs. Ji also specially called Uncle Gu to her home to reprimand her, but Uncle Gu promised well, but he was still the same, and he didn't know how to repent at all.
Mrs. Ji was cold to Uncle Gu.
"Grandmother is just this brother, and she has always hurt like a baby. Even if your heart is cold for a while, it will slowly ease up. Ji Xiaotang analyzed very rationally.
This is why Uncle Gu is not really afraid of Old Madam Ji.
Mrs. Ji's attitude now, in the final analysis, still feels ashamed.
"If you are not naughty today, you will not be allowed to mention it in the future." Mrs. Ji Er sued Ji Xiaotang, "Don't you know your grandmother's temper?" ”
Ji Xiaotang smiled and nodded, promising not to take the initiative to mention it in the future.
Of course, she knew that Old Mrs. Ji's temper was that Uncle Gu had embarrassed her, and the more she wanted to compare herself with Second Mrs. Ji, the more she couldn't see the good of Mu Hong's family. This is still her previous loss because of the matter of immortality, otherwise she would definitely have to use the topic to play, and the second wife of Ji is not, and the Mu family is not allowed to come to the door.
It's a very unreasonable thing, but Mrs. Ji definitely did it.
"Daddy, grandmother can't take care of it, let's take care of it?" Ji Xiaotang asked Second Master Ji.
"Your grandmother can't take care of it, how can we take care of it?" Second Master Ji put down the scroll in his hand, "Good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, they want to kill themselves, and the gods can't stop them." ”
Ji Xiaotang immediately understood.
It is true that no one can stop Uncle Gu, because in Uncle Gu's eyes, there are only white flowers and silver.
The matter of immortality really touched the bottom line of Ji Er.
……
At the end of August, Xie Huaijin finally returned.
Because he knew that Xie Huaijin was not on the list, he was afraid that he would be in a bad mood, and Master Ji Er did not wait for the Xie family to come to the door, so he took Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang to the county government, saying that they were visiting Xie Zhixian, but in fact, they came to visit Xie Huaijin.
Seeing Xie Huaijin for the first time, Ji Xiaotang realized that Xie Huaijin had lost weight.
Although Xie Huaijin is not a very qualified reader, he has been studying and taking exams since he was a child, but it has been smooth sailing. In this township test, Xie Huaijin's own expectations were extremely high, and he became more and more disappointed after failing the list.
Second Master Ji had no choice but to persuade and encourage Xie Huaijin.
"How old are you, this time I originally said to go through the experience, and the result doesn't matter. If you have other ideas, you just think badly. "Master Ji Er also told Xie Huaijin a story, saying that a certain Confucian in the previous dynasty was also famous as a teenager, but he also failed in the township examination.
This great Confucian township failed the list, but not because he didn't learn enough, but because the examiner deliberately suppressed him. The examiner did this out of good intentions, for fear that although this Confucian young man became famous for a while, he couldn't stand the pondering and would be difficult to become a big weapon after all.
"If jade is not cut, it is a good thing to experience some ups and downs when you are young. From now on, we should guard against arrogance and rashness, and work hard and learn in a down-to-earth manner. "Mrs. Ji Er's words are sincere, and she really teaches Xie Huaijin as her own child.
When Xie Huaijin got the opportunity to talk to Ji Xiaotang alone, he was a little embarrassed.
"Xiaotang, you said it."
"What did I say?" Ji Xiaotang didn't comfort Xie Huaijin, "It's as if I cursed you to fail the test." ”
Ji Xiaotang is like this, where does Xie Huaijin still have the heart to hesitate and be sad, so he apologized to Ji Xiaotang, saying that he didn't mean that, he accidentally said the wrong thing for a while.
Xie Huaijin was sweating all over his head, and he did a good job, and Ji Xiaotang was coaxed by him.
"Brother Huaijin, it's just a miss, but what can be done. You are like this, not only Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie have to worry about you, but my mother and father have seen it, and they also think that you have no responsibility and are still a child. Ji Xiaotang saw that Xie Huaijin was no longer drilling the tip of the horns, so he persuaded him.
"It's my momentary misfortune. Xiaotang, if I know my mistakes, I will change them, and I will never do it again. (To be continued......)
