Chapter 152: Their own stomachs
"You're gambling again, aren't you?" Old Mrs. Ji immediately pointed at Uncle Gu and asked, "It was Jiang Qingshan who seduced you to gamble again, didn't he?" ”
Uncle Gu opened his mouth and immediately understood what the problem was.
What they have done is very secret, and these days, the hearts of the people of the Ji family are tied to Ji Xiaotang and Ji San, who are far away in Ren'an City. And just when Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San just came back!
Uncle Gu immediately knelt down with a thud.
Others may not know, but Uncle Gu knows best how much Mrs. Ji hates him for gambling.
"Eldest sister, don't believe the rumors outside." Uncle Gu knelt on the ground, his face full of sincerity. "It's to go to his in-laws' house to have a drink, and it just so happens that he has friends coming, and everyone is just making fun, and the total is less than one or two silver wins or losses."
"Just like the eldest sister usually fights a leaf card, she has always had money at the end, and everyone is happy and happy. The eldest sister knew me, I changed, and I also swore a poisonous oath in front of the eldest sister and brother-in-law, and I didn't dare to gamble again. ”
"If I really go to gamble, my eldest sister will cut off my hand!" Uncle Gu said, and stretched out his hands, leaving Mrs. Ji to deal with it.
Old Mrs. Ji scolded the Jiang family just now, and she was no longer as annoyed as she was when she first heard the news. Now I hear Uncle Gu say this, and Uncle Gu really doesn't look like a lie.
Old Mrs. Ji's anger calmed down a lot.
"It's such a gadget, why are people outside the legend. Why don't people say that I gambled, why don't they say that the second master and the third master gambled! ”
"Big sister!" Uncle Gu lowered his head slightly. The eyes gurgled and wondered where the wind had leaked from. "Who dares to say big sister. Even the second and third masters are not daring to say. But who am I! In this world, everyone has a high and a low. Persimmon pick soft pinch. ”
"It's also that I've been doing business with my in-laws these days and making some money, but I'm afraid that I'll attract people's eyes, and these gangs slander me!"
Uncle Gu was very cunning, and he didn't completely deny the gambling, but he only thought it was a small gamble, and then pretended to be pitiful. I want Mrs. Ji to soften her heart.
Mrs. Ji happened to eat this set.
"It's okay if you don't recognize it. I've had enough of you, so I'll just let you go. From now on, you should only be without me as a sister. You can do as you like. Later, when I get under the Nine Springs, I will go to confess my sins to my father and mother, and I will not care about you anymore! Mrs. Ji said, and she was really sad.
Uncle Gu was busy kowtowing to Mrs. Ji. Nervousness on the face. But my heart is relieved.
"Eldest sister, how to say such a thing. My eldest sister is like a reborn parent. Without my eldest sister, I don't know what ditch I'm buried in. Don't say that I really know it's wrong, just for the sake of my eldest sister, I don't want to gamble anymore. ”
"Eldest sister, don't ignore me, then my brother will die. In the future, if the eldest sister knows about my gambling word, she will let the eldest sister beat me to death. It's also uncomplaining. I really don't dare! ”
Uncle Gu kowtowed to Mrs. Ji again, and wept at the same time.
"You. It's all my iniquity! Mrs. Ji was also touched, so she also cried.
Uncle Gu walked to Mrs. Ji on his knees and hugged Mrs. Ji's knees.
The two sisters and brothers cried at each other, Uncle Gu swore that he would not gamble again, and Mrs. Ji also nodded in faith.
This turmoil has passed like this. Uncle Gu was actually unharmed, only the Jiang family was unlucky. Here, Mrs. Ji asked Uncle Gu to get up and speak, but she deliberately ignored the Jiang family.
Uncle Gu didn't dare to intercede with the Jiang family at this time, so the Jiang family had to still kneel.
"I'll ask you one more thing." Mrs. Ji said that Gu Lei'er had taken up Wang Xing'er. "How did you do it, our family has never done anything like this. Good gentlemen, it's okay to be like this, and you've been spoiled and seduced by bad character! ”
Uncle Gu immediately made a surprised expression, saying that he didn't know.
"It's all my fault." But Uncle Gu then admitted his mistake, saying that he didn't take care of Gu Lei'er. "The child is older, and he didn't watch it for a while. If it doesn't, I'll break his leg and see if he dares to go to that rotten place. ”
Uncle Gu said that it was menacing.
"Hurry up and let him take care of it, it's time to talk about family affairs." Mrs. Ji said.
Uncle Gu nodded in response.
Mrs. Ji barely rested this day, and she spent a lot of effort on her face.
Uncle Gu hurriedly took the opportunity to leave, and when he left, he naturally wanted to take the Jiang family away.
Old Madam Ji didn't stop her, but just glanced at Jiang coldly.
"Let you go for the time being, if you don't persuade them well, if there is anything else, I won't let you go!" Mrs. Ji admonished the Jiang family again.
The Jiang family didn't dare to fight back, and followed Uncle Gu sullenly.
Mrs. Ji wanted to be settled, and several girls came in to serve. When Mrs. Ji lay down, the other girls went out, and only Peony deliberately stayed.
Peony only left a lamp next to him, and came over with a beauty fist and knelt beside Mrs. Ji.
"The old lady was tired, even though she was asleep. I knocked on the old lady's leg to relieve her fatigue, so that she would not have a sore back and legs when she woke up tomorrow. Peony said softly.
Old Mrs. Ji nodded slightly on the pillow.
"I am a girl, you are the most caring."
Peony gave Mrs. Ji a beat, she beat her legs very carefully, and Mrs. Ji was obviously very useful. Peony secretly looked at Mrs. Ji's face.
Mrs. Ji was a little sleepy, but after all, she had something in her heart, so she didn't fall asleep for a while.
“…… It is said that the old lady is a person who enjoys pure happiness, and only the servants serve closely, knowing that the old lady is heartbroken for this family and for the younger generations. Old lady, the servant advises you, and take care of yourself. The maid looked distressed. Peony tried to say softly.
Old Madam Ji obviously heard it and was interested in responding, so she sighed softly and opened her eyes to look at Peony.
"You girl knows pain and heat."
Peony gradually led the topic to Uncle Gu.
"Uncle and the old lady have let the old lady worry about it again......"
"What's the way, don't look at his age. is also a child, and it is still a child's temperament, and it is foolish to be light. …… Since Zhen is gone. This Jiang Qingshan is no one around him to restrain him, so he is getting more and more clueless about how to do things. I'm going to call him tomorrow, and I'm going to talk about him. "Mrs. Ji is like this, almost talking to herself.
Peony felt her eyelids jump.
"Old lady, what did the uncle of the Jiang family do to make the old lady angry?" Peony asked tentatively.
"It's not him. was originally a good person, but now he is taking his uncle and old lady to gamble. took the lead in letting Leier know what kind of fan! ”
The old lady also said that the eldest master of the Jiang family was originally a good person, how could he be so bad? The uncle and the old lady are sons and daughters with him, which is even more unreasonable. Peony said with a smile.
Mrs. Ji originally closed her eyes. At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the peony again.
"The servant doesn't have much knowledge, but just according to common sense. Could there be any misunderstanding here? Uncle Jiang left the memorization of words, and the world took the opportunity to step on him. It's also a common thing. They can't help the Jiang family uncle by themselves. came up with a way to let the old men misunderstand the Jiang family first. The old men are all people who do big things, and it is easy to be deceived by this villain in small things. ”
"If the old lady is angry and blames the Jiang family's uncle, the Jiang family's uncle will naturally not blame the old lady, but how can the old lady bear it!"
The maid looked at it coldly, the uncle of the Jiang family was sincerely filial to the old lady. The old lady is kind-hearted, and treats the Jiang family uncle like her own relatives and juniors. ”
"You have a point." Mrs. Ji gradually listened to Peony's words. "Wait for Qingshan to come. I'll ask him properly. ”
Peony saw that his goal had been achieved, and his heart rejoiced. flattered Mrs. Ji a few more words, and coaxed Mrs. Ji very happy.
"Peony, you're not too young. I can't delay you. If you have anything in mind, just tell me. Mrs. Ji said to Peony.
Peony's heart suddenly jumped.
Of course, she had ideas in her heart, but it was really inconvenient to tell Mrs. Ji. After serving Mrs. Ji for so many years, Peony still knows Mrs. Ji's temperament very well.
Don't look at what Mrs. Ji said kindly, if you knew that she really had someone in mind, she would immediately respond to her. When the time comes, don't say that your wishes will come true, and you don't know what field it will fall to.
But as Mrs. Ji said, she is not young anymore, and she can't continue to delay. Moreover, there is already a filial piety period over there, and it is said that a matchmaker has come to the door. If someone else preempted her, it would be a waste of her heart over the years.
It's hard for her to tell Mrs. Ji about this heart. If...... If he was willing to ask Mrs. Ji for her, it would be different!
He also knew that he had a lot of heart for him, and he didn't bother to do anything for him, but why didn't he come to propose marriage for a long time?
This matter can't wait any longer, we have to think of a way.
The next day, it was overcast early in the morning, and the air was stuffy, as if it was going to rain.
Ji Xiaotang was in Mrs. Ji's house, and Mrs. Ji and Mama Cheng were picking out rulers with the girls, planning to make some clothes. Ji Xiaotang hugged Changsheng next to him, and slowly recited the sound rhythm to him.
Changsheng's little mouth opened and closed, oh oh oh, oh oh, as if chanting.
Now, of course, we can't expect Changsheng to recite or understand something, but in the long run, it will be very beneficial to Changsheng. When Ji Xiaotang was so old, Second Master Ji was still very idle at that time, so he often treated her like this.
"She's only been back for a few days, and now as long as she's here, Changsheng won't stick to others, only her sister Xiaotang." Mrs. Ji raised her head and looked over here, and said with a smile.
Mrs. Ji Er is now richer than in the past, but she is not bloated at all, she only makes people feel more rounded and full of charm.
"This is also a fate that comes from birth." Mama Cheng also smiled and said, "The personality of the third girl is also approachable. ”
"I was able to live forever thanks to Xiaotang......"
As she was talking, a little girl came in to report that Jiang Qingshan's family was here, and they all went to Mrs. Ji's yard.
Mrs. Ji Er said that she knew, and asked if she could report to Master Ji.
The little girl said that the second master Ji already knew and went to Mrs. Ji's side.
"Xiaotang and their uncle and nephew are back, I estimate that the Jiang family should also come to the door." sent the little girl out, Mrs. Ji said.
Jiang Qingshan has always been courteous on the Ji family's side, but this is still a day late, if it was placed in the past, I am afraid that Ji Xiaotang and Ji San have just arrived in Qingyuan, and he will take someone to greet him first.
"Do you want to go over?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Let's not go over yet. The old lady must ask about his uncle. Mrs. Ji said.
Ji Xiaotang nodded.
After a while, I heard the sound of talking outside, and then the little girl came in to report, saying that the eldest aunt of the Jiang family and the young grandmother of the Jiang family came to say hello to Mrs. Ji Er, and also to say hello to Ji Xiaotang.
This is Jiang Qiao'er and Gu Xia'er coming.
Mrs. Ji Er asked Mama Cheng to pack up all the rulers and go to the next room, and then ordered people to come in.
Jiang Qiao'er and Gu Xia'er were both dressed up in flowers. The little girl lifted the curtain, and the two sisters-in-law stepped into the door, but they bumped into each other.
The two looked at each other, and the air immediately tensed. (To be continued......)
