Jiang Qingshan thought that in this way, he could roast the second master Ji on the fire. He thought that Master Ji Er was too simple.
"Qingshan, don't get too excited. I know your mood very well. "Second Master Ji is kind and pleasant, "Xie Zhixian is an upright official, you should believe in Xie Zhixian." ā
"Second uncle......" Jiang Qingshan was about to say something.
Second Master Ji waved his hand and stopped Jiang Qingshan.
"Don't worry, over there in the county government, I will send another post over. Xie Zhi County, I will also visit the door. ā
"Second uncle," this time, Jiang Qingshan's face showed a look of gratitude.
"Needless to say." Second Master Ji continued, "I also want to find out about this matter. ā¦ā¦ Xie Gui came to the door and said that Xie An was stabbed to death by Xinglong. He wept bitterly over me, implying that I was covering you. ā
Second Master Ji suddenly talked about Xie An's death.
Jiang Qingshan's face changed, and he waved his hand to deny it.
"Second uncle, that's nothing. In the chaos at that time, it was clearly the group of guests......"
"You have your own opinions. Although I prefer to believe in you in my heart, ...... As you said, the entire people of Qingyuan are watching. I will urge the county government to find out the truth as soon as possible. Second Master Ji said.
This is exactly what Jiang Qingshan said, and it happened to be used by Second Master Ji to block Jiang Qingshan's mouth.
Jiang Qingshan was a little speechless for a while, and Fang Cai's momentum was also a little shorter.
"Go ahead, take care of your daughter-in-law's funeral. Also, don't do it again. Otherwise, what is reasonable will become unreasonable. It's just that I want to speak for you, but I'm afraid that Xie Zhixian will not be able to explain it, and it won't be able to stop the mouths of the people. "Second Master Ji gave Jiang Qingshan an eviction order.
Jiang Qingshan hung his head and was silent for a long time. kowtowed to Second Master Ji again, and repeatedly said that let Second Master Ji administer justice to him, and then said goodbye and left.
"Second Brother ......" sent Jiang Qingshan away, and the third master Ji looked at the second master Ji, and his eyes were shining.
"What's wrong?" Second Master Ji looked at Third Master Ji like this, and felt a little numb, so he asked.
"Second brother." Master Ji's eyes were full of admiration, and he bowed to Second Master Ji, "What the second brother said is too good." It turns out that the second brother still has such a powerful time! ā
"What nonsense." Second Master Ji is angry and funny. "I'm just telling the truth. It's you, don't always dangle in front of my eyes. The old lady is in a bad mood, you go and talk to the old lady well, and make the old lady happy. ā
"Yes. Yes, sir. Second brother. Master Ji San deliberately saluted Ji Er, and then he left in a gust of wind, but he didn't go to see Mrs. Ji first, but went to Ji Xiaotang to tell him about this new thing.
Second Master Ji looked at the back of Third Master Ji and shook his head slightly.
What Master Ji San saw him was a filial son in front of his parents, an elegant husband in front of his wife, and a loving father in front of his daughters. There is also a brother who can't be fierce in front of his little brother.
However, after all, Second Master Ji has been an official for several terms. And the official reputation is quite good.
Thinking about it, Jiang Qingshan only saw these aspects of Ji Er, so he underestimated Ji Er, and thought that Ji Er's was too simple.
Master Ji Er sat down in front of the table and picked up the pen as soon as he could.
Naturally, he would not be instigated by Jiang Qingshan, but it was not good for him to really stay out of this matter. Xie Ziqian is there, he still has to meet again, and it is good to breathe.
ā¦ā¦
Ji Xiaotang was in the room of Second Mrs. Ji, and when he heard Third Master Ji's eyebrows flutter and say how Second Master Ji turned against Jiang Qingshan, he smiled slightly.
"It's still the usual dad who treats him too well, he treats dad and our Ji family as muddy bodhisattvas."
Ji Xiaotang has always been with Master Ji, and she has heard more than once how Master Ji hears lawsuits and how to deal with colleagues and subordinates. Although the second master Ji in the officialdom is still elegant and modest, he is completely different from the second master Ji in the Ji Mansion.
Jiang Qingshan has only tasted a little bit of suffering.
Although Master Ji San came to find Ji Xiaotang first, he did not forget the instructions of Master Ji Er, he brought Ji Xiaotang with him to accompany Mrs. Ji to talk.
Old Master Ji San came, as long as he sat there and didn't need to say anything, Old Mrs. Ji's mood improved significantly.
"Mother, it's not that I speak directly. No matter what, it's also someone else, the children and grandchildren are all in front of the mother's eyes, and the mother doesn't deviate her heart to the sky. My mother's body is uncomfortable, my mother suffers from sin, and we are still distressed. "Master Ji San persuaded Mrs. Ji.
"Which is eccentric." Mrs. Ji said angrily, "It's really sad for me to watch what happened to them." ā
Although she said this, a smile finally appeared on Mrs. Ji's face.
"Mother, it's better to wait for the rain to clear, pick a good day, I will accompany my mother to go out for a walk and relax." Master Ji San mentioned yƬ and said.
Previously, the Ji family had always kept filial piety for Mrs. Ji, and when they were filial, they only met Zhen's birthday, but Mrs. Ji was not only unhappy, but also frightened. Therefore, this mention of Master Ji San is very appropriate.
Mrs. Ji was a little moved, but she didn't agree immediately.
"Grandmother, it's rare for an uncle to have such filial piety. It just so happens that the weather is neither hot nor lukewarm now, and when the weather is hot in a few days, it will be difficult to go out. Ji Xiaotang saw it next to him, and also laughed and persuaded.
"That's what I said." Old Mrs. Ji nodded.
Ji Xiaotang's words touched her heart. Mrs. Ji is used to being a blessed person, afraid of both cold and heat, and can only go out once or twice in the spring and autumn.
"I'm thinking about going to the temple to put incense on the pillars." Old Lady Ji thought about it. Zhen's death, as well as Jiang Xinglong's remnants, touched Mrs. Ji a lot.
"If the old lady wants to go to incense, why don't you go to the Jade Emperor Temple in the east of the city." Second Master Ji came and happened to hear these words, so he said.
The Jade Emperor Temple is in the city, so there is no need for a long time to drive and horses, and it will not make Mrs. Ji tired. Moreover, the Ji family has a lot of alms in the Jade Emperor Temple every year, and is very familiar with the abbot of the Jade Emperor Temple, and goes there to offer incense. It should be arranged very conveniently and appropriately.
"Then go to the Jade Emperor Temple, I haven't heard Elder Wuxu tell the story of Buddha for some time." Mrs. Ji responded with a smile, very satisfied with this arrangement.
Mrs. Ji decided to go to the Jade Emperor Temple to offer incense. Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji sent someone to make arrangements first.
On this day, the weather was fine, and everyone came to Mrs. Ji's house to accompany Mrs. Ji to eat the morning food, and then got up and went to the Jade Emperor Temple.
In front of the temple gate, the presiding monk Wuxu brought a group of monks to catch it, and welcomed everyone to the main hall to offer incense.
Mrs. Ji took three sticks of incense and worshiped sincerely in front of the Buddha.
After Mrs. Ji worshipped, it was the second master and Mrs. Ji. Master Ji San, and then Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang sisters.
After that, everyone accompanied Mrs. Ji to the meditation room at the back.
Mrs. Ji's grandfather was the most reverent Buddha. When he first moved to Qingyuan, he reshaped the golden body of the Buddha statue in the Jade Emperor Temple, and he was also a Buddhist monk. In this Jade Emperor Temple, a small cross-courtyard was set up separately. There are also several quiet rooms, and they often come to stay for a few days in a month, chanting sutras and listening to the great monks in the temple preach the scriptures.
The empty Zen monk passed away, but this small cross-courtyard has been staying. Although the descendants of the Ji family no longer have Hanyi, this Jade Emperor Temple is also frequent.
Everyone accompanied Mrs. Ji to sit in the upper quiet room of the small cross courtyard, and the monk Wuxu asked Xiao Shami to bring the tea and fruit, and accompanied Mrs. Ji to talk.
Master Ji San looked at everyone but didn't see it. glanced at Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang understood, and whispered two sentences in Mrs. Ji's ear.
"You are only allowed to wander around this temple. Don't go far, come back early. Second Mrs. Ji instructed Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang agreed, and then quietly came out of the quiet room.
Master Ji San had already waited down the steps with someone.
"Xiaotang," Master Ji San stuffed Ji Xiaotang with a burden, and pointed to a quiet room in the wing, "Go and change your clothes, Uncle will take you to a fun place." ā
Ji Xiaotang was not surprised at all, she knew that Master Ji San was going to accompany Mrs. Ji to incense, and he must have come up with other tricks to play.
Master Ji San is a prodigal son, no longer mingling with those fox friends and dog friends, and doing business, but his fun-loving nature has not changed.
At the end of the day, he's just a teenager.
Ji Xiaotang entered the quiet room of the wing room, opened the baggage and saw that it was a set of men's clothes, which looked eight or nine percent new, compared with one another, just about the same size as her.
"I'm afraid it's the clothes of the third master from the past." Jin'er, the big girl who came in to serve, laughed quietly,
"Xiaotang, hurry up, have you changed it?" Master Ji San urged outside the door.
"Three girls......" Jin'er looked at Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang was a little hesitant, to go or not to go? If you don't go, you don't know how long you will stay in this temple, but Mrs. Ji likes to listen to Wuxu tell those stories of karma in a big way. It would be fine if the story was fresher, but Wuxu only told those few every time, and the old lady couldn't get tired of listening to it.
If you go......
Bring more girls and come back after shopping, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Jiang Qingshan's matter came to an end for the time being, Ji Xiaotang's nervous mood eased slightly, and he had already thought about coming out for a break.
"Jin'er, help me put it on." Ji Xiaotang instructed Jin'er.
If it was Xiu'er here, he would definitely persuade Ji Xiaotang a few words, but Jin'er didn't persuade Ji Xiaotang.
Jin'er is also a fun-loving person, and she knows that there is Master Ji San urging outside, and Ji Xiaotang will not listen to her persuasion.
"Oops, this dress fits perfectly." After helping Ji Xiaotang get dressed, Jin'er laughed in a low voice.
Goose-yellow brocade hat, the middle of the hat is also inlaid with a finger-sized sapphire, goose-yellow brocade robe, royal blue brocade belt. Ji Xiaotang took off the hairpin ring and changed his boots, and when he wore it like this, he was a beautiful young student with a face like Fu powder and lips like painted Zhu.
Ji Xiaotang looked at the mirror and couldn't help laughing.
If you change this outfit, it's not good to go to the front again. Master Ji San had already arranged it, so he put a stool under the back window to pick up Ji Xiaotang.
Although it is the first time for men's clothing, it is not the first time that the uncle and nephew have done something like this.
Ji Xiaotang jumped out of the back window neatly and landed steadily.
When Master Ji San saw that Ji Xiaotang had changed his dress, his eyes lit up. He looked around Ji Xiaotang, and his smiling eyes narrowed.
"My little nephew, that's how it should be. ā¦ā¦ It's exactly the same as when I was back. "Master Ji San looks like he is honored.
"Uncle, where are you taking me today?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Don't ask, you'll know then, and you'll be satisfied." Master Ji San said.
Master Ji San brought four small maids, two long followers, Ji Xiaotang brought the big girl Jin'er, the little girl Cui'er and Zhu'er, and the group came out of the west corner gate of the Jade Emperor Temple.
Passing through the two alleys, it is the most lively place in Qingyuan County.
"There are very lively and good-sounding new books, and my uncle has already booked a private room, so let's listen to it." Master Ji San said happily.
It turned out to be listening to a new book, which was much more interesting than listening to the old stories told by the monk Wuxu, Ji Xiaotang nodded happily.
The uncle and nephew went to the Yuelai teahouse surrounded by all the girls and the little girls, and the guys in the teahouse had already seen Master Ji San, so they hurriedly greeted them and led everyone into the private room on the second floor and sat down.
All kinds of fragrant tea and snacks were immediately delivered.
The little guy couldn't take his eyes off Ji Xiaotang when he saw him, and after being glared at by Master Ji San, the little guy immediately didn't dare to look in the direction of Ji Xiaotang.
Master Ji San asked the little guy to reward the guy, so he let the guy retreat.
Yuelai Tea House is the most famous tea house in Qingyuan, and the layout of the private room is very good.
The hall is full of heavy mahogany furniture, and directly facing the stage below is a square table inlaid with marble eight immortals crossing the sea, and a carved high-backed chair is placed at the top of the square table, and on the left and right sides of the square table. Under the south window is a long table with a plum vase and new flowers. There are four high-backed chairs on each side, separated by a few low chairs in the middle. Further back, on the east wall are two antique landscape paintings, and on the west side are screens embroidered with flowers and birds, and the curtains behind the screens hang low.
Ji Xiaotang glanced around, and nodded secretly in her heart, this place, she can come a few more times in the future.
Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang sat on both sides of the table, drinking tea while listening to books.
This new book, however, turned out to be a legendary story.
Ji Xiaotang listened for a while, and was a little surprised.
The story is set in the last years of the previous dynasty.
Now that Great Qin Chengping is less than a hundred years old, it has experienced nearly sixty years of turbulent times before that. The turmoil began at the end of the previous dynasty.
The founding ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty was also a martial artist, and he ruled the country for more than 300 years. However, by the end of the Great Song Dynasty, its national strength gradually declined. The monarch is mediocre, the officialdom is dark, coupled with years of floods and droughts and natural disasters, the people are full of complaints, and the banner of rebellion has been raised one after another.
The so-called "princely general Xiangning has a kind of", the last emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Qi Xuan, reigned for only ten years, and was attacked by Xie Guangde, who proclaimed himself the king of Yan.
Xie Guangde was born only as a homeless person, but in just over ten years, he gathered the largest force in the world at that time, replaced the Great Song Dynasty, and changed the country name to Dayan.
Dayan was only passed down for two generations, and after twenty years, it perished.
The one who took the Great Yan is the Emperor Taizu of the current Great Qin. (To be continued......)
