Chapter 124: Something Else
Seeing that Mu Hong was a little happy and forgot his form, Shen glanced at him, and secretly signaled in the direction of Master Ji San, reminding Mu Hong that there were still people from the Ji family, and let him speak carefully.
Mu Hong smiled, but he really didn't say anything.
Because it was not early, Shen was busy and asked people to put on the banquet.
"After getting the letter from my sister and brother-in-law, I began to prepare." Grandma Mu Zhang's took the girls to set up a meal, and said to Ji Xiaotang with a smile.
Zhang is the daughter of Mu Hong's comrade, tall and strong, and speaks loudly, and she looks straightforward. Ji Xiaotang heard Mrs. Ji talk about Zhang's family, saying that don't look at Zhang's family, but she has a lot of strength, and she has been practicing martial arts with her family since she was a child.
Everyone sat down, Ji Xiaotang was arranged to sit next to the Shen family, and Master Ji San was under Mu Hong's hands, and the rest of the people were accompanied. Mu Wanjie sat next to Ji Xiaotang, he really liked this new beautiful sister.
The banquet was very rich, and Mu Hong and Shen seemed to be eager to bring all the good things to Ji Xiaotang.
When the banquet was dispersed, everyone drank tea and talked again, and Ji Xiaotang had time to bring the gifts he brought.
The gifts prepared by Ji Xiaotang were very rich, and she also pointed out the gifts prepared by Mrs. Ji Er herself, and told Mu Hong and the Shen family, which Mrs. Ji had saved for them little by little in the past few years.
Because of Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji can only communicate with her parents' family in private, which is always not very convenient. But from the things she has been accumulating, it can be seen that Mrs. Ji Er is thinking about her mother's family in her heart.
Not to mention Mu Hong and the Shen family, even the Mu family brothers were very happy. It's not about the heaviness of the gift, but about Mrs. Ji's thoughts.
In addition to Mrs. Ji, there were also many gifts prepared by Ji Xiaotang, of course, in the name of the Ji family.
The Ji family was willing to let Master Ji San live in the Mu family this time, and also asked Ji Xiaotang to follow, and gave these many gifts. The Mu family is happy, which means that the relationship between the two families is no longer as deadlocked as before.
I can't say that I will resume contact with the Ji family from now on, and I can go to see my daughter and little grandson.
"Your mother is fine." Shen pulled Ji Xiaotang and asked.
"Mother, she's fine." Ji Xiaotang Ji picked up the situation of the second wife Ji and told the Shen family, and then talked about immortality. said how Changsheng just came up and down, and how he became white and fat now, he can already see people with his eyes, he can grasp things with his hands, and his mouth is extremely strong, he is a sturdy little fat boy.
Shen's eyes turned red when he heard this, and Mu Hong's eyes lit up, as if he couldn't wait to see Second Mrs. Ji and Changsheng.
Mu Hong's eager appearance was seen by the Shen family, and the Shen family remembered the past, if it wasn't for Mu Hong's recklessness, he wouldn't have been able to see his daughter and grandson all these years, so he glared at Mu Hong.
Mu Hong was a little weak-hearted, and pulled Master Ji San to speak.
"You live here as if you were in your own home, and I'm not happy to see you. You just have to study with confidence, and I will leave the rest to me to ensure that the arrangements are made for you. Mu Hong patted his chest and said, thinking about the glance that Shen Shi glared at him just now, he hesitated slightly, and still asked about Mrs. Ji.
"The old lady is all right." Mukhon said.
These are ordinary greetings, but Mu Hong felt a little awkward in his heart, he would not fake, so the tone and demeanor of his words were unnatural.
Master Ji San knew the inside story very well, so he smiled and said that Mrs. Ji was fine.
"Uncle and Aunt Mu are worried."
"The old lady looks like a blessed one, and now the third old man is also out of luck." The Shen family was very polite to Master Ji San, and even slightly flattered.
The Shen family actually has something to please Master Ji San, but it is just a parent's heart, thinking that Master Ji San can make Mrs. Ji happier, so that his daughter's life can be better.
"It's good that the old lady can let you come and stay in the house. The old lady was nice. Mu Hong said dryly, but he couldn't help it, "Big nephew, the past is not like that." ”
"I was young at the time, and I didn't know anything, but I knew that there must have been a misunderstanding." Master Ji San naturally can't say that Mrs. Ji is not, and it doesn't make sense to break up the past. Now that Xiaotang and the others are getting older, relatives should naturally move around often. It's not good for the younger generation, and it should have come to Fucheng to visit Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu, as well as the two elder brothers. ”
Everyone in the Mu family heard it, and Master Ji San said that relatives should naturally move around often!
This should not just be the statement of Master Ji San alone, but the attitude of the entire Ji family.
"Yes, that's right." Mu Hong happily patted Master Ji San again, "Let's have a good temper, you are also tired today, and you only drank a few glasses of wine." Another day, let's drink him and get drunk. ”
"I will accompany you." Master Ji San said.
"My sister and I made it ourselves, for grandma and grandpa." Ji Xiaotang took out the needle and thread he and Ji Xiaoyun made again and handed it to Shen.
Shen hurriedly took it, and the needlework made by his granddaughter was much more precious than those gold and silver jewelry.
"Xiaoyun, that kid doesn't know what it's like now, why didn't he come with you this time." Shen said.
Speaking of Ji Xiaoyun, Mu Hong no longer talked to Master Ji San, and also looked at it with a blank eye.
At the beginning, Mu Hong had a feud with Mrs. Ji because of Ji Xiaoyun.
"My sister is very good, so much taller than me." Ji Xiaotang pointed with his finger, "My sister looks more like grandma than me." My sister is older than me and takes care of some family affairs, so she couldn't come with me this time, and she will definitely come to see grandma and grandpa in the future. ”
Ji Xiaotang hid Ji Xiaoyun's refusal to come.
Mu Hong and Shen were very happy.
Because it was getting late, and thinking about Ji Xiaotang and Ji San's old man, although everyone was reluctant, they could only disperse first.
The Shen family had already arranged a quiet courtyard for Master Ji San, and Master Ji San took a group of people from the Ji family to live in. As for Ji Xiaotang, of course the Shen family was reluctant to let her go, so they stayed in the main courtyard and arranged the east ear room for Ji Xiaotang to live in.
This is not only convenient for the Shen family to take care of, but also allows Ji Xiaotang to be by her side sooner or later.
Compared with other people's patriarchal families, the Mu family is a bit patriarchal. The Mu family has been a man for several generations, and only when she came to Mrs. Ji's second wife, she was the only girl in the Mu family, and she was the heart of Mu Hong and the Shen family since she was a child. Now that Ji Xiaotang is here, his granddaughter is not only delicate and cute, but also smart and smart, and generous, and she has suddenly become the eyeballs of Mu Hong and the Shen family, and the precious eldest grandson of the Mu family is a stone's throw behind.
Shen personally took Ji Xiaotang to the east ear room to settle down.
"Grandma personally arranged it for you, if there is anything you don't like, I will immediately let someone replace it." Finally, there was a delicate girl to take care of herself, and the Shen family had to do almost everything by herself, and arranged the ear room into a real "boudoir", which was even more gorgeous than Ji Xiaotang's residence at home.
Shen's This is the good things in the house, all the good things in the house are arranged here.
Ji Xiaotang naturally said yes.
The Shen family was reluctant to let Ji Xiaotang go, and was afraid that Ji Xiaotang would be tired, so he personally watched the people put Ji Xiaotang to sleep, and then left from the ear room.
Shen took the people away, and the girls also rested separately, and the surroundings were quiet.
Ji Xiaotang was lying on the couch, and there were two soup women under his feet (this was specially arranged by the Shen family for fear of her cold), although his body was very tired, he couldn't sleep for a while.
The scenes of Mujiazhai's distress, as well as the enthusiasm of the Mu family, flashed repeatedly in her mind.
The Mu family is like this, straightforward and simple, once you are good to someone, you have to dig out your heart and lungs. She is not only the daughter of the Ji family, but she also has the blood of the Mu family in her body.
But it was such a simple and enthusiastic family, and they rarely even had contact with the Ji family, but in the end, they were still affected by the Ji family, and the family died.
The estrangement of the Ji Mu family, or even the severance of contact, could not save the Mu family.
Not only can the two families not be separated, but they must be united in one place. Ji Xiaotang had long decided to try his best to repair the relationship between the Ji family and the Mu family.
The smiling faces of Mu Hong, Shen Shi, Mu Jiaying, Mu Jiahao, Zhang and Xiao Wanjie flashed in front of Ji Xiaotang like a marquee, and Ji Xiaotang knew that she couldn't let this family be hurt.
She wants to change her fate, change the fate of the Ji family, and at the same time, change the fate of the Mu family.
She does not allow anyone to harm her loved ones, and for that, she can do anything! God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!
The Mu family was punished as a fellow bandit of Mujiazhai, and the bandits of Mujiazhai were actually other people. Therefore, she had to take the first step to find out the real Mujiazhai bandits.
In the previous life, this group of mountain bandits had been hidden and unknown, until the world was in chaos, and they took advantage of the chaos. At the beginning, everyone thought that this group of mountain bandits had also gathered in one place because of natural disasters to commit murder and robbery.
However, Ji Xiaotang has lived long enough (only sixteen years old, which is also very sad to say this), so he knows that this is not the case. This group of bandits is not simple.
But Ji Xiaotang didn't live long enough (after all, he was only sixteen years old), so he didn't know what the final outcome of this group of bandits would be.
At this time in the previous life, this group of mountain bandits should have been dormant, why did they appear frequently now.
Ji Xiaotang quickly sorted out all the news she had gotten. The first time the mountain bandits appeared, they robbed the wealthy merchants who were heading to the capital. Ji Xiaotang remembered what Qi Younian said, and she faintly thought of something at that time, now calculate the date......
Years ago, the wealthy businessman who went to the capital ......
Han-Xiao Weiwu Hou was not the one who returned to the capital at that time, and he was a wealthy businessman.
So, could it be him who was robbed?
Qi Younian said that there were casualties, Ji Xiaotang's heart jumped, was Han-Xiao Weiwuhou injured? In any case, it shouldn't be him who died, otherwise this matter would have spread a long time ago, and Ren Anfu would not dare to hide such a thing.
And this also explains why although Ren Anfu kept this matter a secret, he was very concerned about the suppression of bandits.
I will ask my grandfather about this matter again tomorrow to see if I can ask more details.
Ji Xiaotang thought so.
The second appearance of the mountain bandits is today, and the target is ......
The target of the mountain bandits should be her and Master Ji San. It's a pity that they happened to be targeted by Qi Younian and others, and these mountain bandits not only failed to achieve their goal, but were almost wiped out.
Whether it was Han-Xiao Weiwu Hou or their convoy, they did carry a large amount of valuables.
However, are the bandits really here to rob money?
Of course, Ji Xiaotang didn't know at this time, in fact, today was the first time that the mountain bandits had set out, and the targets were her and Master Ji San.
And the first dispatch of the so-called mountain bandits was nothing more than someone's means, in the name of the mountain bandits. However, this time, it was a crooked attack, which made Ren Anfu pay attention to this mountain bandit that they didn't pay attention to.
And Ren Anfu's concealment of the news is also harming these mountain bandits.
The mountain bandits only thought that they were out of nowhere, but they didn't expect that they would already be saddled with a black cauldron before they made a move, and when they really wanted to make a move, they would have been targeted by powerful opponents.
Some things have changed irreversibly.
Fortunately, these changes are not a bad thing for Ji Xiaotang.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Mu Hong went to the guard office early to order something, pushed an inconsequential errand, and went home to accompany his granddaughter.
Ji Xiaotang happened to have something to ask Mu Hong.
"The robbery and killing of a wealthy businessman by mountain bandits a few years ago?" Mu Hong was a little strange, why did Ji Xiaotang ask this. "Did Qi Qianhu tell you? This matter, but it has to be kept strictly secret, he is willing to say? ”
"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded, "It should be the same group of mountain bandits we met, Qi Qianhu must think that his grandfather will talk to me, so there is no need to hide it from me." ”
"That's just as well." Mu Hong nodded, and asked Ji Xiaotang what he wanted to know.
"If my grandfather knows anything, he will tell me." Ji Xiaotang said, "For example, what day is the specific date, who was injured, and who died?" Did my grandfather ever meet the rich merchant? Who is he? ”
"Let me think about it." Mu Hong was not directly involved in this matter, but compared to others, he naturally knew a lot.
Mu Hong said the date of the robbery of the mountain bandits, and Ji Xiaotang made a little calculation, which happened to be the day when Shanghan-Xiao Weiwu waited for the departure from Qingyuan. Although Mu Hong did not meet the rich merchant and his party, he had heard the descriptions of the soldiers, and the number and appearance of the soldiers were also on par with Han Xiao Weiwu Hou and his group.
Unexpectedly, this noble man would encounter such a thing on the way back to Beijing.
"What about the dead and wounded?" After confirming that it was Han-Xiao Weiwuhou, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but be more eager to know more.
Mu Hong thought about it, and told Ji Xiaotang that the rich businessman and his gang were injured two and one died.
"It is said that the wealthy merchant himself was also injured, but fortunately it was a minor injury. said that the rich merchant had made good friends with some nobles in Beijing, and when this happened, it was difficult for the yamen to explain to the above. "That's why I paid special attention to the matter of suppressing bandits." This matter was personally handled by Qi Qianhu. ”R1152
