The first is to ask for pink.

……

Gu Xia'er was trembling with anger from Gu Xue'er, and the needle in her hand couldn't hold it anymore, so she fell on the kang. She could only subconsciously squeeze the embroidered bandage tightly with both hands.

"What was kicked out? It was my aunt who had something to do, and it was inconvenient for us to live, so my aunt asked us to go home and live for a while. ”

"You still slap your swollen face and become fat, who are you fooling with this!" Gu Xue'er looked at Gu Xia'er mockingly, and pierced Gu Xia'er's words mercilessly. "Auntie, what can be the matter? It's not because you're shameless, how could my aunt send us back. ”

"I did something wrong, and my aunt kicked me out. It's you who tired me. "Gu Xue'er is unrelenting. Back at home, Gu Xue'er only felt uncomfortable, and it was awkward to see everything. She was so angry that she had been complaining to Uncle Gu and the Jiang family in the upper room for a long time.

Uncle Gu and the Jiang family also sighed, unable to explain Gu Xue'er.

Gu Xue'er sprinkled all the anger on Gu Xia'er. In Gu Xue'er's opinion, Gu Xia'er was the culprit for them being driven home.

To promise Gu Xia'er to Master Ji'er, several people in the Gu family did not specifically tell Gu Xue'er, but Gu Xue'er still knew.

"Look at this, is this a place where people live? I said that I will take you back after a while, I think you are dreaming. You can't go back because you made trouble yourself, pity me, and I will follow you to suffer in this shabby place! Gu Xue'er yelled at Gu Xia'er.

"What a shabby place, this is our home. At my aunt's place, it was my aunt who cherished us, and where there was a reason to live permanently, sooner or later it was not necessary to come back. Cher. Don't think that if you live in the Ji family for a long time, you will become a member of the Ji family. What's wrong with our family now, you don't know what our family was like in the past......"

"I don't want to know." Gu Xue'er immediately interrupted Gu Xia'er, "I can't live here for a day, I don't talk about the rags everywhere, I don't have anything to eat, I don't even have an ice basin." I'll go talk to my aunt tomorrow. I begged my aunt to take me back. ”

"Cher. Why do you hate the poor and love the rich like this? Gu Xia'er had to teach Gu Xue'er a few words.

However, how could Gu Xue'er listen to her.

"You're embarrassed to say that I hate the poor and love the rich. …… Why don't you refuse to say yes to those who come to kiss, when I don't know what your mind is? You've long had a crush on your second cousin. Thinking about being a concubine for my second cousin in the past and being an aunt of the Ji family. Then you won't have to come back and stay at your aunt's house for the rest of your life. You are the one who hates the poor and loves the rich. ”

"I'm not." Gu Xia'er was so angry that she almost burst into tears.

"I can't admit it." Gu Xue'er glanced at Gu Xia'er with disdain, and then thought of another thing. climbed onto the kang and went to look through the small baggage beside Gu Xia'er.

"Cher. What are you doing? Gu Xia'er was busy putting down the embroidery bandage and didn't let Gu Xue'er touch her baggage.

"Don't think I don't know, Fang Cainiang said it. My aunt has given you several pieces of valuable jewelry. I was also sent back by my aunt, and I also got a share of the jewelry. Don't try to take it yourself. ”

"If you don't let me choose, you can pick two for me yourself." Gu Xue'er couldn't grab the burden, so she took a step back and said.

"You ......" Gu Xia'er bit her lip. She has always known Gu Xue'er's temper. When she was in front of Mrs. Ji of the Ji family, she was fine, knowing that Mrs. Ji was just mediocre to her. In order to please Mrs. Ji, Gu Xue'er has always kept her temper up, rarely spoke, and pretended to be well-behaved. Now that she has returned to her home, Gu Xueer has no scruples at this level.

"Xue'er, you want jewelry, I'll pick out the other for you. My aunt sent it this time, I can't give it to you. Gu Xia'er said to Gu Xue'er.

"Why can't you give it to me, I don't want anything else, I want this. You don't know it, and those people can't compare to this one. This is what my aunt originally planned to leave for Xiaoyun as a dowry. ”

"I want this, if you don't give it to me, I'm not done with you."

"It's not that my sister is reluctant, I still have to return these to my aunt." Gu Xia'er couldn't entangle Gu Xue'er, so she had to say.

"Don't lie to me, when I am Ji Xiaoyun, I'm not that stupid." Gu Xue'er insisted on dividing the jewelry that the old lady gave Gu Xia'er this time.

"Not lying to you." Gu Xia'er sued Gu Xue'er.

When she first came back, Jiang revealed that she wanted these jewelry, although he said that he would keep it for her.

Gu Xia'er didn't agree, she was worried that once these jewelry fell into the hands of the Jiang family, she would never be able to get them back.

She wants to keep these jewelry by her side and find an opportunity to return them to Mrs. Ji in the future. Although Mrs. Ji will definitely not ask for it, these jewelry must be kept as they are and cannot be damaged.

"If I can keep this jewelry for a long time, I'll give it to you. Don't say it's given to you, even if it's all given to you, it's nothing. Gu Xia'er said.

Gu Xue'er was inevitably a little tempted, but after thinking about it, she felt that Gu Xia'er's words were too far. It's so far away, everyone can say for sure, it's better to get the things in your hands now.

"I know, you still want to be the aunt and wife of the Ji family. It's a pity that people won't want you. Give me this jewelry now! ”

Gu Xue'er said, and stepped forward to grab it again.

Gu Xia'er was busy protecting her burden. Let her say that she broke her mouth, Gu Xueer refused to listen, she just wanted to grab the burden.

In the end, Gu Xia'er was a flash, and the burden was really snatched away by Gu Xue'er.

Gu Xue'er was triumphant with her burden.

"Well, it's not like I got it."

"Xue'er, be careful if you break something, give it back to me."

Gu Xue'er just refused to pay it back.

Gu Xia'er was also anxious, so she reached out and grabbed it.

The two sisters rushed to make a mess.

Hearing a snap, Gu Xue'er let go of her burden and covered her face.

"You—you hit me."

Gu Xia'er took the opportunity to snatch the burden back and protected her behind her.

The two of them had been torn apart for a long time, gasping for breath, and their clothes and sideburns were scattered.

Gu Xue'er was slapped by Gu Xia'er, and she didn't get angry, so she became ferocious, she didn't grab the burden anymore, she just pounced on Gu Xia'er and tore Gu Xia'er. Gu Xia'er resisted at first, and then saw Gu Xue'er's hand grabbing her face. was afraid of scratching his face, so he pushed Gu Xue'er hard.

Although Gu Xue'er was fierce, after all, she was much younger than Gu Xia'er, and her size and strength were not as good as Gu Xia'er's, so she was pushed by Gu Xia'er and fell onto the kang.

This time, Gu Xue'er was hurt by a fall. She stood up while crying, pointing at Gu Xia'er and scolding.

Gu Xia'er's face was frosty. On his face was a fierceness that Gu Xue'er had never seen before.

Gu Xue'er was stuck all of a sudden. He was a little timid.

"You, you want to kill me. I'm going to tell my father. Gu Xue'er cried and ran out of the door. I went to the upper room to find Uncle Gu and the Jiang family to complain.

Seeing Gu Xue'er go out, Gu Xia'er only felt that her whole body was out of strength, and when she looked at her current appearance, she couldn't help but feel sad. Holding the burden, he lay on the pillow and cried.

Gu Xue'er didn't want to return to this home, and she didn't want to do it even more.

When Gu Xue'er was born. The Gu family has already received relief from Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji, and their lives are very good. Gu Xue'er actually hasn't had a hard time, but she has experienced it.

She never wanted to experience those days again.

Come back to this home. Not only is the food and clothing far less than when she was by Mrs. Ji's side, but she also has to face Uncle Gu and the Jiang family, as well as a sister like Gu Xue'er.

She knows Gu Xue'er. I also understand the temper of Uncle Gu and the Jiang family.

If you just live at home for a short time, you may barely be able to get by, but if you really live for a long time, you may be ......able to get by. She has to face the calculations and calculations of Uncle Gu and the Jiang family every day, and face Gu Xue'er's nonsense. On such a day, Gu Xia'er almost didn't dare to think about it.

What's wrong with her wanting a better life, and besides, she's not going to be a concubine for someone else. The other party is Ji Er, her cousin, and the person she has admired the most since she was a child.

However, her cousin was reluctant to ask her, even if her aunt came forward.

Gu Xia'er's heart was about to break.

After crying for a long time, Gu Xia'er slowly raised her head from the pillow.

She can't just forget it, that means she has to continue to live in this family, it means that she has to let Uncle Gu and the Jiang family marry her to anyone who can give the most dowry.

She had to go back to Ji's house.

How could she go back to Ji's house and wait for Mrs. Ji to take her back?

Not to mention when Mrs. Ji will be able to pick her up, I'm afraid that it will be too late by then.

She wants to think about it and return to Ji's house as much as possible.

Just thinking like this, Gu Xia'er heard footsteps outside, it was Gu Xue'er who came over to the Jiang family. Gu Xia'er hurriedly pulled a handkerchief and was about to wipe her tears.

Holding the handkerchief, Gu Xia'er was stunned and didn't raise her hand for a long time.

When Jiang and Gu Xue'er came in from outside, they saw Gu Xia'er holding a piece of brocade and was stunned.

……

Ji Xiaoyun made trouble for two days, but Mrs. Ji refused to agree, so Ji Xiaoyun sent someone to deliver something to Tobacco Bag Hutong, and went to visit Gu Xia'er in person.

After coming back from Yanbao Hutong, Ji Xiaoyun stopped and stopped shouting to pick up Xia Er.

It is said that this is the result of Gu Xia'er persuading Ji Xiaoyun.

When Mrs. Ji knew, she inevitably sighed again, feeling that Gu Xia'er was everywhere, and she sent more and more things to the cigarette pouch alley.

As long as Gu Xia'er is not in the Ji Mansion, no one in the Ji family cares how many things Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun send over. Gu Xia'er is not young, and when she returns home, if she doesn't marry, it will cause discussions.

The Gu family won't last long, and they will definitely have to say goodbye to Gu Xia'er.

Temporarily put aside Gu Xia'er's matter, Ji Xiaotang discussed another major matter with Master Ji San and Master Ji Er.

"Stockpiles?" Second Master Ji wondered why Ji Xiaotang suddenly remembered to come to the store.

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded affirmatively.

Qingyuan is backed by the Yanshan Mountains and is located in the Yanshan Plain. This plain is fertile and blessed with thousands of miles, and there have been few disasters and famines since ancient times. Moreover, since the Great Qin Chengping, the country and the people have been safe, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the generation of the second master Ji has no idea what hunger is.

In addition to Qingxizhuang, the Ji family also has more than a dozen large and small granges, and there is never a shortage of food, except for leaving enough for themselves to eat every year, the rest are sold, and they only follow the general regulations, and there is not much grain in stock.

What do you want to do with so much grain, merchants come and go from the north and south here, even if you want to buy grain in case of a situation, it is also an extremely easy task. As long as you take out the money, you can say what you want, and how much you want.

Ji Xiaotang can't say that there have been major disasters and famines in the world in the past few years, and Qingyuan is not immune. Even if she took the risk of saying it, Second Master Ji would not believe it.

"In the past two days, many large families that have been reading for a hundred years have done this." Ji Xiaotang can only convince the second master from the perspective of prevention.

Second Master Ji smiled.

"You're young, but you have a lot to worry about."

"Daddy, am I not right?" Ji Xiaotang said.

"You're right." However, the Ji family is not one of those big clans with a population of thousands at every turn, and the Ji family has a small population. In the opinion of the second master Ji, even if something happens by chance, the Ji family's food problem can be solved.

Moreover, those measures to store large quantities of grain are generally in turbulent times. If you are happy today, Ji Er feels that Ji Xiaotang is a little worried.

"It's great that you love to read and can draw inferences." Second Master Ji encouraged Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang was not happy at all, although the second master Ji praised her, he didn't take what he said to her seriously.

"Daddy, what are you doing when I have nothing to do with this, don't you think about grandfather......"

"You dreamed of your grandfather again?" Second Master Ji immediately asked.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head, it is enough for Mrs. Ji to dream once, and if there are more, it will inevitably make people suspicious, and the effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

"It's still the disaster that your grandfather said...... Second Master Ji smiled and pondered.

Ji Xiaotang saw that Second Master Ji began to take this matter seriously, so he was busy striking while the iron was hot.

“…… Although the population of the family is smaller now, will it be the same in the future? Our Ji family can't develop into a big clan with a population of thousands and a hundred years. Since it's a good thing, why not do it now and leave a charter for future generations. ”

With a population of thousands and a family that has lasted for a hundred years, these words can't help but move the second master Ji.

This is something that Old Lady Ji has never mentioned...... Big plans.

"Second brother, I think Xiaotang's construction is good, it's okay." Master Ji San didn't speak all the time, and only then did he speak. "You don't have to worry about the second brother, leave it all to me."

Before Ji Xiaotang came to find Second Master Ji, he had already communicated with Third Master Ji first.

"Second brother, now we are three brothers. Needless to say, the eldest brother is pregnant, the second sister-in-law is pregnant, and the little nephew will be born next year. The second brother and second sister-in-law are still young, not to mention ten or eight in the future, there are five or six nephews. After that, there will be my ......, and when our grandchildren arrive, the population of the Ji family will double......"

Master Ji San looked forward to the population problem of the Ji family, and when Master Ji thought of the child that Mrs. Ji was carrying, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

Despite this, Master Ji Er has always been cautious in his work.

"Stockpiling grain is not a simple matter." Ji Er said.

"Uncle and I have thought it through. If we don't understand, please ask someone who does. With our family's financial resources, it is not difficult to do this. Ji Xiaotang said.

Second Master Ji thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded.

The Ji family began to build a granary, but this matter was not made public, but was carried out quietly. When the second master saw the several granaries that were finally built, he was also surprised. (To be continued) R655
