It can be said that it was Ji Xiaotang who saved Master Ji's family. However, this truth is only known to Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, and if it is not good, they will sue Master Ji.

Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly, not caring about this. She saved Master Ji's family, not out of their gratitude.

At this time in his previous life, Master Ji was imprisoned, and then the family was raided, and then Master Ji San was set up in the casino in Qingyuan and lost the ancestral house and ancestral tomb one after another. The Ji family was completely defeated.

Today, Master Ji is safe. Although he did not make any merit at this time, because of this ink corruption case, a large number of courtiers fell, but it highlighted the meritorious Master Ji. Even if Master Ji didn't add an official to the knighthood so quickly, he would be more reused.

And on Qingyuan's side, Master Ji San has long since turned back, and the Ji family will not only not fall, but will be more prosperous than in the past.

For Ji Xiaotang, these are the biggest gains.

The three of them discussed for a while, and then took the letter and the gift list to Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji listened to the second master Ji say the contents of the letter, that is, nodded.

"Your father is under Jiuquan, and what he is most worried about is his eldest son." Mrs. Ji also said this. Ji Xiaotang listened beside him, and when he looked at Mrs. Ji's face, he felt a little strange.

Mrs. Ji was obviously a little sour.

But where does this sourness come from?

Immediately, the second master Ji showed the gift list sent by the old man Ji to Mrs. Ji. Master Ji's gift list, Mrs. Ji read it carefully from beginning to end.

"It's hard for her to be willing to give up!" Old Lady Ji snorted coldly. "It's been all these years, and this time it's still a bit decent."

As Mrs. Ji spoke, she casually threw away the gift sheet.

"I know it all. I don't lack anything here. What to do with these things sent by the capital, you two brothers are in charge. ”

"Listen to the old lady." Second Master Ji was busy.

Although he said so, Second Master Ji still asked people to move all the supplements sent by Master Ji to Mrs. Ji's house, and also selected the best ones from various gifts and gave them to Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji has always been indifferent, and she doesn't look at these rich gifts.

Fortunately. Ji Xiaoyun came over at this time. Seeing Ji Xiaoyun coming, Mrs. Ji's face showed a smile.

"Xiaoyun, you go and take a look. There is nothing to like, just put it away. Old Mrs. Ji said to Ji Xiaoyun. She didn't care about these things, but it would be nice if she could make Ji Xiaoyun happy.

Ji Xiaoyun's body has almost recovered, but she is still a little timid. Everyone knows that she has never been a lively personality. And there are still some cowardices, and after this hard work, it is really necessary to get completely better, but it is not something that can be rushed.

"Do you have any of these things?" Ji Xiaoyun only knew that it was Master Ji in the capital who sent something, but she didn't know the details. She asked, looking over a few boxes of things.

And all the people in the room looked relieved.

Ji Xiaoyun asked like this, not like before. It is better to pinch with her sister Ji Xiaotang, but she wants Mrs. Ji to give her something. Should I also agree to give Ji Xiaotang a copy?

"Naturally, there is." Mrs. Ji smiled and greeted Ji Xiaotang, "You two sisters go and have a look, just take what you like, I don't want these Laoshzi." ”

"This is for the old lady, and the uncle has something else for us." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Exactly." Second Master Ji nodded, and while instructing people, he simply moved all the gifts given by Master Ji, and asked Mrs. Ji to take Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun to pick.

Second Master Ji asked people to move things, and quietly gave Ji Xiaotang a look. Ji Xiaotang understood, knowing that Second Master Ji wanted to make Mrs. Ji happy, so she smiled and pulled Ji Xiaoyun and began to pick gifts.

Ji Xiaoyun didn't care much about those gold and jade things, but took a few more glances at various colors of satin, and finally took two palace flowers in her hand to look at.

The palace flower is made of silk, and the flower center is also embedded with the stamens made of rice beads, whether it is dyed or workmanship, it is very exquisite, and it is no different from a real flower when you look at it from a distance.

"Sister has a good eye." Ji Xiaotang said, and while taking the palace flowers to Mrs. Ji with Ji Xiaoyun, let Mrs. Ji see it.

"This one is exquisite." Old Mrs. Ji took a look and said with a smile.

Good or bad things come second, and the important thing is that the granddaughters like and are happy.

"It is written on the gift list that this is something made in the palace, or the eldest aunt and eldest sister went to the palace to attend the banquet, and the queen mother personally rewarded it. The eldest aunt and eldest sister felt good, and they were reluctant to wear it, so they let people give it to me and my sister. Ji Xiaotang said. She knew that Mrs. Ji seemed to have some problems with Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji who were far away in the capital, but Second Master Ji wanted to repair the relationship between the mother-son and mother-in-law, so she said these words, hoping that Mrs. Ji's thoughts on the capital side could be eased.

Mrs. Ji tugged at the corners of her mouth and didn't speak.

Ji Xiaotang chose a few rulers and two strings of beads for himself and Ji Xiaoyun, and when Ji Xiaoyun and Mrs. Ji nodded in satisfaction, Ji Er asked the second master to carry the gifts down.

When the second and third masters of Ji were gone, and Ji Xiaoyun was also tired and went to rest, Mrs. Ji stopped Ji Xiaotang, who was also leaving.

"It's rare for your sister to be happy today, so I just couldn't bear to say it......" As soon as Mrs. Ji spoke, she went straight to the point.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Mrs. Ji was a person who couldn't hide her words in her heart, so she sat down next to Mrs. Ji and asked Mrs. Ji seriously what was the matter.

"You've never been a shallow-eyed child, and today it's to make your sister and me happy, isn't it?" Mrs. Ji asked.

"The old lady saw it." Ji Xiaotang laughed.

Old Madam Ji was obviously relieved, and her face softened a lot.

“…… What entered the palace to get the queen mother's reward, they themselves were reluctant to bring it to you and your sister, phew! Old Mrs. Ji snorted in the direction of the capital, and took Ji Xiaotang's hand again. Taught Ji Xiaotang earnestly, "Xiaotang, don't believe her rhetoric!" ”

Ji Xiaotang was slightly surprised in his heart. By now, she naturally heard that when Mrs. Ji said this, she was not referring to Master Ji, but should be Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji can say that Mrs. Ji is not, but Ji Xiaotang can't pick up the stubble anyway, so she has to respond vaguely.

"What kind of character is she, she has deceived you. But you can't fool me. Where is she willing to give us any good things, and what she can give us, those are all things that she wants with the leftovers. It is extremely precious. is really a fox, without a word of truth, the most deceitful. ”

"Xiaotang, you haven't seen her. I don't think I'll see it again. I never want to see her again in my life. You just remember. She said she wouldn't believe anything. That fox is the best at pretending to be a good person. Although I don't know much, this time it must be your father who has helped your uncle a lot, so she is willing to take out these tattered and worthless things that have been pressed for I don't know how many years. …… The girl she taught is just like her! ”

Mrs. Ji chatted with Ji Xiaotang for a long time, although she didn't name her, but later she became more and more clear that she was scolding Mrs. Ji.

Ji Xiaotang did not show the slightest impatience. Mrs. Ji vented and saw Ji Xiaotang's attitude. thought that Ji Xiaotang believed her words and was on her side, so he was very satisfied.

"If you remember your grandmother's words, you won't suffer. I didn't say these words to your sister. You remember, remember to protect your sister in the future. ”

"Don't worry, old lady, I've written it down." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Only then did Mrs. Ji let go of Ji Xiaotang's hand with satisfaction and let Ji Xiaotang go.

Ji Xiaotang returned to Mrs. Ji's place, and saw that Mrs. Ji was trying on new clothes for Changsheng, so he stepped forward to help.

"Why did you go and come back for half a day?" Mrs. Ji asked casually.

"It was my grandmother who left me and said a lot of things." Ji Xiaotang rubbed Changsheng's little buttocks, causing Changsheng to giggle while hiding.

"What did the old lady tell you?" Mrs. Ji Er still asked casually.

Between mother and daughter, there is nothing to avoid and hide, so Ji Xiaotang told Mrs. Ji Er.

"Mother, the ...... of the eldest aunt" is really like what Mrs. Ji said. Moreover, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji have a deep grudge, what happened?

"I don't know much about that." On the one hand, Mrs. Ji Er is reluctant to tell the children this, and on the other hand, she really doesn't know much. "Since I got married, I haven't been with my eldest wife."

When Mrs. Ji and Mr. Ji got married, Mr. Ji had already become a weapon and had never lived in the Ji family's old house.

"I haven't met my aunt yet. My grandfather was at a funeral, and my aunt was seriously ill and couldn't come to Qingyuan. Ji Xiaotang said.

Mrs. Ji sighed slightly, and the mother and daughter tacitly put down the topic.

In the blink of an eye, it was July again, and early in the morning, Mrs. Ji summoned everyone in the Ji family to her room to talk.

"Xiaotang's birthday is coming." Old Madam Ji said as soon as she opened her mouth.

This is the first time that Mrs. Ji is the first to take the initiative to mention Ji Xiaotang's birthday.

"I'm a few years old, and I don't have a good memory, so I almost forgot about it. Xiaoyun talked to me just now and brought it up. Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xiaoyun sitting beside her again.

"I, I'm discussing with my grandmother to give Xiaotang a gift, I don't know what Xiaotang likes." Ji Xiaoyun's face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice.

"My Xiaoyun has grown up and knows that she is worried about her sister." When Mrs. Ji saw Ji Xiaoyun like this, she felt that her eyes were sour, and she said with relief.

Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Xiaoyun still remember Ji Xiaotang's birthday, and Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji will not forget it.

"Does the old lady want to handle it well for Xiaotang? I was the first to approve of what to do, the old lady told me. Master Ji San hurriedly laughed.

"This year's year, forget it. When the time comes, let's just get together for a meal. Ji Er didn't agree, what he meant, Ji Xiaotang's birthday should not be handled.

Mrs. Ji Er didn't speak.

"That's not going to happen." Old Mrs. Ji glared at Second Master Ji, "How about Niancheng, it won't hinder our family." Could it be that we are such a poor family outside, the year is not good, and the children can't eat on their birthdays? ”

"The girl's family is a delicate guest, and she can spend a few birthdays at home, so you have to detain her like this, I don't follow it."

Old Mrs. Ji spoke like this, Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji could only smile bitterly, while Third Master Ji looked at it with a smile.

"Xiaotang's birthday, I don't want you to throw away the money, I'll take out the money and buy it for her." Mrs. Ji said this, and asked the girl to go to the back room and come out with a box.

In the box was a neat hundred taels of silver.

"Just this one hundred taels of silver, you take it, and buy it for Xiaotang well, it will be lively. If it doesn't work well, I don't follow. Old Madam Ji commanded.

The old lady insisted on taking the private money out to celebrate her granddaughter's birthday, although the second master Ji did not agree in his heart, he could only nod in the end. In his father's heart, he also wants to give his daughter the best, but he just thinks about the current drought, so he refuses to be extravagant.

Ji Xiaotang received Mrs. Ji's kindness, and she also knew the thoughts of Second Master Ji, and she also had her own thoughts in her heart.

In July of the seventh year of Longqing, Ji Xiaotang's twelfth birthday. Because Mu Hong's family said that they were coming to celebrate Ji Xiaotang's birthday, this time Ji Xiaotang's birthday was held for two days.

On the first day, it was relatives and friends from Qingyuan who came. said that it was all relatives and friends, but in fact, there were only two or three families, and Xie Zhixian's family naturally came, and then it was Uncle Gu's family. Jiang Qingshan of the Jiang family did not come because he was sick, only Gu Xia'er came.

However, in the past two years, relatives and friends have moved around, and personnel have changed a lot. The Ji family and the Jiang family are getting farther and farther apart, and now they are just maintaining their face, and they are mostly looking at Gu Xia'er.

And Uncle Gu has also come to Mrs. Ji's side recently, but he has never asked Mrs. Ji for money.

Only the Xie family is getting closer and closer to the Ji family, and the birthday gift to Ji Xiaotang is also the most generous.

Mrs. Xie pulled Mrs. Ji to speak, and the more she talked, the more dense it became, and slowly turned to Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin. Ji Xiaotang listened to it on the side, his heart moved slightly, and he took the opportunity to hug Changsheng out.

Ji Xiaotang hugged Changsheng and teased the parrot under the porch, but after a while, Xie Huaijin also followed.

"Xiaotang, why did you come out, my mother was about to talk to you." Xie Huaijin whispered to Ji Xiaotang, the base of his neck was slightly red.

"Brother Huaijin, do you want to say it...... Our marriage. ”

"Hmm." Xie Huaijin nodded.

This time, the family of three came to celebrate Ji Xiaotang's birthday, and they also discussed it, and they wanted to re-mention the matter of marrying Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin to Ji Xiaotang and Mrs. Ji Er.

"Brother Huaijin, I hope ...... Able to wait a little longer. Ji Xiaotang said slowly.

"Xiaotang......" Xie Huaijin looked at Ji Xiaotang with some surprise. (To be continued......)
