Chapter 161: Brothers and Sisters
"The third brother didn't come...... oh, what does the eldest brother want to discuss?" Second Master Ji asked Master Ji.
Master Ji frowned.
Since Ji Xiaolian's incident, his body and mind have suffered a huge blow, and he has resigned at home, and he is not interested in the I Ching Feng Shui.
He is somewhat self-aware, his career has been ruined, and as for his family, he doesn't have much say except to take care of his own affairs.
And even in his own room, because Ji Xiaomu gradually took on the responsibility of managing the general affairs, he could manage fewer and fewer things.
Although he was a little unwilling, he could only sigh secretly, he was born at the wrong time, the general trend has gone, he is accompanied by Zhou Nianhong every day, and the child in Zhou Nianhong's belly can make him look forward to something, and he rarely talks about other things.
But about Master Ji San, he felt that he couldn't be silent anymore.
Mrs. Ji dotes on her youngest son, and Second Master Ji is a character who is better than less than less, if he doesn't care who else can take care of it.
“…… The third brother went to sea, although it was trade, but he was on orders, he was still an official, not a businessman, and it could be regarded as a matter of glory to the Ji family. I also know that it is human nature for him to work hard outside, to make a show on the spot, and to admit a few women into the door......"
Second Master Ji listened to Master Ji's words, and glanced at Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly, and Master Ji's words fell on her ears, which was very unpleasant.
However, she didn't interrupt Master Ji. She wanted to hear what Master Ji was going to say.
"It's just that those women can only be concubines. The third brother should also have three other media and six certificates, and looking for a famous lady to be his wife is the right way. Seeing that Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang didn't speak, and he didn't care whether Ji Xiaotang's face was good-looking or not, he continued, "...... He can't always be floating overseas, and when he comes back, he has to socialize seriously. How did those women deal with the ladies of the high-ranking families, and they didn't frighten people. It was also laughed at. ”
"It's also detrimental to our Ji family's court." Speaking of this, Master Ji paused, "And his children, who are his flesh and blood." The Ji family will naturally look at it well. You can inherit the incense of the Ji family. It has to be born with another wife. ”
"It's to kowtow in front of the ancestors and ancestors, those children look weird, I'm afraid the ancestors won't admit it."
This matter should have been decided by the old lady, but the old lady is old and dotes on her third brother, so she can't think of these things for a while. I am the eldest son in the family, and if I don't mention it, it will be unfilial. Later, when I went underground, it was difficult to see the old lady and the ancestors. ”
Master Ji finally raised the matter to the height of filial piety.
Ji Xiaotang had expected it a long time ago. The Ji family may not be able to fully accept Master Ji's wife and children for a while, and they also expected that Master Ji must be the one who reacted the most.
However, she originally thought that Master Ji should be more eye-catching, instead of posing in front of her as the eldest son, it seemed that accepting the wife and children brought back by Master Ji San would insult the Ji family's court, and belittle the noble blood of the Ji family.
I have to say that Master Ji has not been able to develop in his career, and there are always his own reasons.
The three brothers of the Ji family, the second master of Ji is open-minded and tolerant, and the third master of Ji is open-minded and uninhibited, but the eldest master Ji is so narrow-minded and stubborn.
"Uncle's words, I don't quite agree." Ji Xiaotang thought about it for a while, but he was not polite, and immediately said.
"Oh...... Oh? "Master Ji is a little scared of Ji Xiaotang, not only because of Ji Xiaotang's current status, but also because of Ji Xiaotang's temperament and behavior~ as a person. But in today's matter, he felt that he had taken advantage of the righteousness, so he refused to compromise easily.
But Ji Xiaotang didn't have the patience to say anything righteous to him, and he was impatient to discuss it with him. She only told Master Ji one thing.
"Uncle is a member of the Ji family, so his children are the descendants of the Ji family, no matter what they look like, and it doesn't matter if their biological ~ mother is a foreign race. If others dare to underestimate them, I will not let them go. If our own family also looks down on them, I will never follow them. ”
Ji Xiaotang's words established the status of the children of Master Ji San in the Ji family.
"There is one more thing, the matter in the uncle's room, the uncle himself has the final say. Why did Uncle go overseas at the expense of his life, he was not for himself, he was for the entire Ji family. So, I believe in Uncle. Ji Xiaotang believes that Master Ji San will never do anything to hurt the Ji family and the Ji family.
Ji Xiaotang's words were simple, and Master Ji's face turned blue.
Second Master Ji nodded, and then persuaded Master Ji with a pleasant face: "...... The nobility of children has always been with their father's clan, not to mention that they follow their mother's clan, and the children of the third brother are the same as you and my children. Moreover, the old lady is still there, and she didn't say anything, so why should we bother. The old lady's health is not very good now, which annoys her old man, and it will be too late for us to regret it. ”
Ji Xiaotang's attitude was very distinct, Second Master Ji obviously agreed with Ji Xiaotang, and he also moved Mrs. Ji out, Master Ji knew that what he had just said was in vain.
Although he was still unwilling in his heart, he was helpless. In this family, his words don't carry much weight anymore.
Master Ji sighed: "I have said everything I should have said, that's it, I am a waste person now, I have done my best, and in the future, under Jiuquan, I will see the old lady and the ancestors, and I can only report it truthfully......"
Master Ji was feeling sorry for himself, when he heard the door curtain ringing, and Master Ji San strode in from outside.
"What does the eldest brother want to report to the old lady and the ancestors?" Master Ji San stood still in front of Master Ji, looked at Master Ji and asked.
"Ah......" Master Ji was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect Master Ji San to walk in without being reported. No, nothing, nothing. ”
Master Ji's expression was a little embarrassed.
"Huh." Master Ji San looked at Master Ji and sneered, he had little contact with this eldest brother since he was a child. didn't have any feelings, but later~ after experiencing some things, he couldn't get closer to this big brother. I can't respect it.
Master Ji's life overseas made his temperament even more arbitrary, and he didn't hide his murderous aura in front of Master Ji.
Master Ji understands this younger brother, Master Ji San is not like Second Master Ji, Master Ji San is a vicious person who does everything.
"I really didn't say anything." Master Ji saw sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly asked Second Master Ji for help, "Second brother, you say." It's not like we didn't say anything. ”
"Big brother really didn't say anything." Second Master Ji followed Master Ji and said a word, which can be regarded as revealing what happened just now.
Ji Xiaotang didn't want to see Master Ji San and Master Ji conflict, so he didn't speak.
"Oh. Hehe, hehe," Master Ji San continued to laugh, "I seemed to hear two sentences when I walked in. Seemingly. I guess I heard it wrong. ”
Master Ji can't do it anymore.
“…… You talk, I just drank two glasses of wine, and my head is a little dizzy, I'll say goodbye first......" Master Ji didn't wait for Second Master Ji to get up to see him off, and left in a hurry.
Master Ji San watched Master Ji's back disappear at the door, and then walked to the chair beside Ji Xiaotang and sat down.
"Big brother is still like this!" In a simple sentence, the meaning is extremely rich.
"As long as you don't go out and cause trouble, everything is easy to say. He's changed a lot now. Third brother. You've really surprised the big guys today. You're really, if you don't make a noise, it's enough. Blockbuster. ”
"Hehe," Regarding the number of Second Master Ji, Third Master Ji is still willing to listen humbly. "Second brother, your statement doesn't seem to be appropriate."
"You're doing it right?" Second Master Ji asked rhetorically.
Master Ji San couldn't figure out what Master Ji meant for a while, so he looked at Ji Xiaotang.
"Don't look at Xiaotang, I know, you are colluding, Xiaotang will definitely speak for you." Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang got together, and they had no principles and bottom lines for each other's affairs.
"Second brother, it's not that I'm hiding it from the big guy, it's ...... I ......, hey, what do you say......"
Master Ji Er sat on the chair, and now that he was free, he also said his thoughts in detail.
He had no intention of bringing the ladies and children back.
“…… They are all properly settled in the local area, and even if one day ......, I will never be able to return to them, and they will be able to live well with their children with the money and property I left behind......
"Then why did you decide to bring them all back now?" Second Master Ji asked.
"Naturally, I thought that we should be together as a family, sharing blessings and difficulties." Master Ji San said with a smile.
Second Master Ji stopped talking, and Ji Xiaotang became more and more silent.
"Uncle, why are you doing this?" After a while, Ji Xiaotang said.
"They are members of the Ji family, and this is what they should experience." Master Ji San said as a matter of course, and then smiled again, "Moreover, I brought them back, but in order to take them to borrow the light of the family, to borrow the light of your sister, I brought them to learn and enjoy happiness." ”
Master Ji San has made up his mind, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all understood their respective thoughts, and some words seemed redundant, so there was no need to say any more.
"Now that you're back, you have to plan carefully." Second Master Ji said.
This is the important thing he deliberately left Ji Xiaotang to discuss with Master Ji San.
"Daddy, but you want to talk about enlightening a few children and letting them read?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
Second Master Ji nodded.
Ji Xiaotang smiled, and she guessed that what Second Master Ji was most worried about must be this matter.
"I'm not good at studying, I listen to the second brother's arrangement." Master Ji San agreed very happily.
Ji Er did not shirk either.
"There are not many heirs in our family, and each of these children you bring back is very precious, and you must teach them to read well...... "In the future, take the road of the imperial examination, become an official, glorify the ancestors, and protect the family."
"We naturally look at the same number of children, but we inevitably have to take into account some worldly eyes."
Second Master Ji spoke to Third Master Ji very carefully.
The children of Master Ji San, whose alien ancestry is too obvious in their appearance, are very different from those of the Great Qin people, but I am afraid that it is not good for them to participate in the imperial examination and become officials.
"Xiaorong's biological ~ mother is from Daqin, and Xiaozang is no different from Daqin, these two children can focus on cultivating the road of taking the imperial examination."
Second Master Ji told Third Master Ji that he planned to hand it over to Ji Xiaozang and Ji Xiaorong in person.
"Let them study with Changsheng, if the three brothers can enter the department together in the future, that is what will make our Ji family shine."
Master Ji Er is obviously full of expectations for the future of several children, and is willing to do his best for this.
He said this, what else did Master Ji San refuse to agree to.
Master Ji San got up in a hurry and solemnly saluted Ji Er.
"Second brother, then I will entrust Xiaozang and Xiaorong to you." The three brothers, how did Master Ji treat him, how did Master Ji treat him, whether he took him as a brother to heart, whether he was kind or not, it was really an obvious contrast, and he had an immediate opinion.
"There is one more thing, I want to discuss with you, it just so happens that Xiaotang is also here." Second Master Ji then said.
"What's the matter, the second brother is in charge." Master Ji San happily gave his two sons to Master Ji Er, and the future of the two children was guaranteed, how could he be unhappy as a father.
"Second brother, don't worry about this." Second Master Ji didn't say anything directly, but looked at Third Master Ji carefully and said again.
"Second brother, what's the matter, just ask for it. Xiaotang testified here, and I didn't say no. ”
"That's right, for the sake of the careers of my two children, I want to pass them on to my knees. …… Third brother, I know your temperament, and now I say that I want to stay, who knows that one day in the future you will not be able to sit still, and you will run to the sea again...... two children are under my name, and the future career will be more secure and smoother......"
It seemed that he was afraid that Master Ji San would misunderstand, and Master Ji Second explained to Master Ji San in detail.
Master Ji San didn't answer immediately, obviously thinking about the matter that Master Ji raised raised.
Ji Xiaotang immediately understood that the second master Ji was really thoughtful for the third master Ji and the two children.
"Why Xiaotang is here, there is another thing to explain. When the two children come to my name, I don't care whether you divide the property among them in the future or not, the property of my house belongs to their brothers. ”
Second Master Ji told Third Master Ji that in the future, his property in this house will be divided into three parts, one for each of the three brothers, Changsheng, Xiaozang and Xiaorong, impartially. (To be continued.) )
