Chapter 4: Qianhuatang

As soon as Ji Xiaotang said this, Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji suddenly became enlightened, and they didn't feel weird anymore because they thought something was weird. Actually, Mrs. Ji Er may not have thought of this matter, but Master Ji Er should have thought of it.

Second Master Ji deliberately didn't think about this.

"Since the eldest brother and sister-in-law have the desire to repair, this is also a good thing. Naturally, we can help. Second Master Ji still said, in front of Master Ji, he also happily agreed, although he was not very comfortable at the time.

Second Master Ji sincerely hopes that through this visit to Beijing, Mrs. Ji and Master Ji can repair the relationship between mother and son.

At this time, I heard the sound of bangs outside, and the third watch had passed.

Mrs. Ji Er felt sorry for Ji Er, and she also felt sorry for Ji Xiaotang.

"Let's rest first, it's not too late to talk about anything tomorrow."

Ji Xiaotang said goodbye and came out of Jinghuatang, she did not approach the back corner door, but went around the front door. Out of the door of Jinghua Hall, Ji Xiaotang saw that most of the courtyards on the middle road were lit up, and only Qianhua Hall was still brightly lit.

Obviously, today is also a sleepless night for Master Ji and Mrs. Ji.

……

Akanedo

When Master Ji came back from the back study, it was almost four watches. Mrs. Ji didn't sleep, she was still wearing the clothes that served Mrs. Ji at dinner, and she sat on the stepping bed and waited for Mrs. Ji.

"Didn't you want to rest earlier, so you didn't have to wait for me? Stay up to this time again, be careful of tomorrow's headaches. Seeing Mrs. Ji like this, Master Ji was slightly surprised in his heart.

"The lord is not coming back. How do I rest with peace of mind? Mrs. Ji stood up and personally served Mr. Ji to take off and change her clothes. The old man talked to the second master about what was going on in the middle of the night. The second master can't wait for tomorrow? ”

"It's just some trivial things in my hometown." Master Ji drooped his eyelids.

"The trivial things in the hometown are worth the second master?!" Mrs. Ji obviously didn't believe it.

"Hey." Master Ji sighed. "It's still the matter of the Xie family's anti-thief. You also know that the second brother is in his hometown and has a close relationship with the Xie family. and the Jiang family, who has to be used in his hometown, is also an anti-thief party! ”

Mrs. Ji's hand was stunned, and her brows were furrowed.

"It's inconvenient for me to say, the old man should talk about him as an elder brother. It is said that the second master is safe. But what kind of people did he make in his hometown! It's just that his own family is implicated, but he can be implicated in rebellion, which is a felony of stealing his family and exterminating his family. It's the time when the father protects it. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape it. …… The second master doesn't think about his own family, he should also think about his brothers, nephews and nieces in Beijing! ”

Regarding the Xie family, Mrs. Ji also heard some news in Beijing, and now Mr. Ji has brought it up. immediately hooked her dissatisfaction with Master Ji Er.

"Ma'am. You have to be careful about this. "Master Ji straightened his face." The Xie family's rebellion had nothing to do with the second brother. ”

"Master, I know the severity, but I say it this way. When I get outside, I will naturally maintain the second master's family. The old man thinks about it, so far, the second master is still unharmed, if it weren't for his father's maneuvering. Isn't it easy to get along! Mrs. Ji glanced at Master Ji with disgust.

"Thanks to the teacher." Master Ji nodded, "But." I really don't blame the second brother for this matter. …… Those people have ghosts in their hearts, and their thoughts have climbed up to the second brother. ”

"climbed up the second master, in the end, it wasn't for the master, and the father behind the master!" Mrs. Ji glanced at Master Ji again, although she was not young for a long time, but this eye was also full of charm, which made Master Ji can't help but feel a wave in his heart.

"Madame is right."

"If the second master has a brother and a father in his heart, he shouldn't behave so inappropriately."

"Hmm......" Master Ji was noncommittal.

His attitude was a tacit acquiescence in Mrs. Ji's eyes, but he was unwilling to say that his brother was not in front of her.

"Master, we are too benevolent to be here, and the advantage of the family has been taken advantage of by the second master."

"Madam, don't mention this matter again." Master Ji doesn't like to listen to it anymore.

"That's it, that's it, my lord doesn't like to hear this, I don't say it." Mrs. Ji Da laughed disgustedly.

Master Ji changed his clothes and did not rest immediately, but sat on a low couch next to him. Mrs. Ji also followed and sat opposite Mr. Ji.

"Master, have you told the second master about that incident?"

"I said it."

"What did the second master say?"

"The second brother agreed."

"I hope he can do what he says."

"It's just that my wife still needs to be wronged."

"The lord also knows that I have been wronged? Today is the first day, and the old lady himself has seen what the situation is. After that, I don't know what will happen! ”

"In short, there must be Mrs. Law." As Master Ji spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Mrs. Ji. "No one knows my wife's grievances better than me, and I beg my wife not to be for others, but for her husband and children......"

Mrs. Ji raised her eyebrows and smiled at Master Ji.

Master Ji almost reached the ground with this bow, and Mrs. Ji turned her anger into joy.

"That's it, it's all for the sake of the master."

Master Ji sat down beside Mrs. Ji, took Mrs. Ji into his arms, and held Mrs. Ji's hand.

"At the beginning, for the sake of the master, I was reluctant to do anything, and I was willing to give up my life. It's still the same today. My heart for the master has always been the same. The old man has a new man and forgets the old man! ”

"What the hell is there?" Master Ji immediately swore to the sky.

Mrs. Ji stopped Master Ji with a smile: "As long as the master remembers what he said and treats me sincerely, what swear do you need to make!" ”

The couple sat tired of sitting for a while, and they looked a little like a young newlywed couple.

"Master, why did the second master talk to the master and bring the third girl over?" Mrs. Ji asked suddenly.

"The second brother has been married for more than ten years, only two girls, and he didn't expect to have children, so he raised Xiaotang as a man. It is very dependent. ”

"It seems that the three girls are really not ordinary! Not only the old lady relied on her, but the second master and the second wife also relied on her so much. It's just that it's still in the countryside like this, and now it's in the capital. There is something wrong with that. The Ji family is not short of men! The lord is the elder brother, what should be said, still has to be said! ”

"This is the second brother's own family matter, how can I interfere, you don't care. You see that the second brother has a gentle temperament, and he really touches his bottom line, so it's ......" Master Ji said this. He refused to go any further, but changed the subject. "The old lady and the second brother don't live here for long, so it's important that the wife plans to do what we have to do first."

"The master is talking about ......"

The couple discussed for a long time in low voices. That's when it was settled.

……

Ji Xiaotang first arrived in the capital, and he had something on his mind, so he only got up after taking a nap for about an hour after returning from Jinghuatang. She took out her pocket watch and looked at it, it was already midday. It's when she usually wakes up in the morning.

Xiu'er was on night duty on the smoker cage in the house. Hearing the movement, he hurriedly got up in his clothes and picked up the lamp to see Ji Xiaotang.

"It's still early, girl, let's sleep a little longer." Xiu'er put the lamp next to her and brought tea to Ji Xiaotang. "The girl didn't go to bed until early and late last night, and it was a hard journey. The girl sleeps a little longer, even if she gets up later, it's nothing. The old lady and the lady must have thought the same way. ”

"I've gotten used to it all these years, and I can't sleep anymore." Ji Xiaotang waved his hand. "It's better to get up. I'll rest more at noon and evening today. ”

Xiu'er knew that she couldn't persuade Ji Xiaotang, so she was busy serving Ji Xiaotang and getting up.

Ji Xiaotang has developed a habit since childhood. Wake up early every day and read a book for at least half an hour. When I was younger, I had to read for an hour. Later, when she got older, she helped Mrs. Ji Er take care of the housework, so she reduced this hour to half an hour.

After a little freshening, Ji Xiaotang sat in the study.

The sky was bright, Ji Xiaotang heard someone talking in the courtyard, and then Jin'er came in to report.

“…… Mother Feng, who served beside the eldest lady, came, said a few words, knew that the girl was up, and asked if she could come to greet the girl. Jin'er said this, and also explained the identity of Feng's mother to Ji Xiaotang, "It is the eldest wife's companion, she has been with the eldest lady since she was a child, and now she is the most decent mother next to the eldest lady in the house, and she is said to be half of the eldest wife's family." ”

Such a mother cannot be treated lightly.

"Invite Mother Feng to speak in the hall." Ji Xiaotang ordered, and then got up from the side of the bookcase and went to the hall.

Feng's mother was already in the hall, and when she saw Ji Xiaotang coming out of the study, she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and curts.

"Say hello to the third girl. The three girls got up early, tired all the way, why didn't they rest more. ”

"Mom, please sit down and talk." Ji Xiaotang sat in the hall and asked Feng's mother to sit down on the chair.

Mother Feng naturally refused, and the little girl next to her persuaded with a smile, so Mother Feng was willing to sit on the footrest next to her, and talked to Ji Xiaotang with Xiaoxiao.

"What do you have to tell the girl to get up so early? When the girl first came, she only regarded this place as her home, and she did not hesitate to tell her anything. Mother Feng looked at Ji Xiaotang intently as she spoke.

Looking at it like this, Mother Feng couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart. Ji Xiaotang's eyebrows are picturesque, and his refreshing dress is just like a hibiscus out of the water, which makes people feel that their eyes are bright and unforgettable. What's even more rare is that you treat people calmly and generously, which is heartbreaking.

"This is a habit since childhood, get up early to read books, write, but Lao's mother asked. …… What my mother said was that my uncle and aunt were naturally my home. Uncle and aunt are attentive, although I am new to here, everything is still suitable. ”

"That's the girl's thoughtfulness." When Mother Feng heard Ji Xiaotang say this, she was even more smiling, and at the same time, she took out a brocade box from her sleeve and got up to present it to Ji Xiaotang. “…… There are many people and things, and there are all kinds of inconsiderateness, thanks to the girl's thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness. My wife will come to see the girl later, so she sent me first......"

Ji Xiaotang asked Jin'er to take the brocade box.

Jin'er handed the brocade box to Ji Xiaotang, and then opened the brocade box.

The brocade box is paved with royal blue velvet, and there is a jewel on it, but it is a red gold and green Chaoyang five phoenix hanging pearl hairpin.

"It's ...... Auntie's gift? Ji Xiaotang's gaze swept over the pearl hairpin and then withdrew it, asking Feng's mother.

"It was my wife who sent me to the girl, and I hope the girl will like it."

"The elder gave it to him, but it was disrespectful, so I accepted it." Ji Xiaotang's attitude was indifferent, not as kind as Fang Cai.

Mother Feng only thought that Ji Xiaotang was young, and it was the first time she saw such gorgeous and expensive jewelry, so she deliberately made such a gesture, so she didn't think much about it. Such a pearl hairpin, not to mention sending Ji Xiaotang to a little girl, is to send it to which one of the edicts to ask for a favor, which is enough to move people.

Ji Xiaotang will not be unmoved.

"If the girl likes it, it's fine." Mother Feng said with a smile, and sat down for a while before leaving.

"Girl......" Jin'er held the brocade box and asked Ji Xiaotang what to do.

"Don't put it away, you take it first." Ji Xiaotang called Mama Cheng to discuss a few words, looked at the time, and went to Mrs. Ji's house first.

Second Master Ji was not there, but he was found by Master Ji to speak.

Ji Xiaotang, together with Mrs. Ji, took Changsheng to Xuanhua Hall to greet Mrs. Ji.

In Mrs. Ji's house, Ji Xiaoyun, Gu Xueer, Yao's, Zhou Nianhong and Zhou Qiao were all there, and everyone saluted each other and sat down.

"Grandmother slept well yesterday?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Grandmother wasn't used to being here, and she barely slept last night." Ji Xiaoyun replied for Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji was cowardly and had no spirit.

"I didn't sleep well either, I think I chose a bed, and I should be good when I get used to living in the past two days." Ji Xiaotang said, and persuaded Mrs. Ji, "Grandmother should stay up today, so as not to go sleepy, and wait until night to sleep, it's almost fine." ”

"That's what I said." Yao said with a smile.

"I hope so." Old Lady Ji said.

While the big guy was talking, Ji Xiaotang called Ji Xiaoyun aside and gave her the brocade box.

"This is ......" Ji Xiaoyun opened the brocade box and saw Zhu Hai, she was stunned.

"I gave it to my sister to wear." Ji Xiaotang laughed.

"Give it to me, do you still have it?" Ji Xiaoyun asked Ji Xiaotang, "Where did this come from, I didn't see you have this hairpin." ”

"It was given to me by my aunt."

Yesterday, everyone met for the first time, and everyone had a greeting gift. Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun both got a copy from Mrs. Ji, and they were naturally exactly the same. This hairpin is not among them.

Obviously, this was sent to Ji Xiaotang by Mrs. Ji Da separately.

"Then you give it to me, is it appropriate?" Ji Xiaoyun asked Ji Xiaotang.

"Of course it is." It was appropriate for Mrs. Ji to give it to her, and it was just as appropriate for her to give it to Ji Xiaoyun. "Sister, don't ask too much, just wear it."

Ji Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, then went to the house to change jewelry. Now, she is also used to listening to Ji Xiaotang's words.

Ji Xiaotang will not harm her, and everything he does makes sense.

When Ji Xiaoyun returned the pearl hairpin and came out, although Mrs. Ji was not in good spirits, she saw it at a glance.

"Hey, Xiaoyun, where did you get this hairpin?"

"Grandmother, it was given to me by Xiaotang." Ji Xiaoyun told the truth,

"Xiaotang?" Mrs. Ji turned her eyes to look at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly and didn't explain much.

Old Mrs. Ji was really unenergetic, and she knew that Ji Xiaotang's elves were weird, so she simply didn't ask her.

Mrs. Ji brought her daughter-in-law and children to serve Mrs. Ji, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw the pearl hairpin on Ji Xiaoyun's head. (To be continued......)
