Chapter 150: Poisonous Tongue
But Mrs. Ji believed it at once. Gu Lei'er was so concerned about the things in Zhuangzi, and Mrs. Ji was very pleased. She didn't know at all that since the beginning of the year, the Gu family's father and son had not gone to Zhuangzi, let alone doing things for Zhuangzi, just holding the moon silver.
"You kid, your heart is too real. It's just that if there is something, let's explain it to others for the time being. Mrs. Ji said very kindly.
Uncle Gu hurriedly agreed, and made Gu Lei'er agree immediately.
This time, Gu Leier didn't look in the direction of Uncle Gu at all.
"Auntie, things are pretty ...... The one that matters, if the nephew doesn't go in person, he won't worry. Another day, my nephew will come and talk to my aunt. Gu Lei'er said, looking at his expression, he was indeed a little anxious, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
Seeing Gu Lei'er insisting like this, Old Lady Ji sighed and shook her head.
"In that case, forget it. Lei'er, even though you are young, you still have to take care of your body. It's never done. …… If you are so attentive, it is not in vain that your aunt loves you. ”
Gu Lei'er agreed vaguely, and went down with a salute.
Ji Xiaotang glanced at Master Ji San.
Master Ji San understood, and immediately quietly called the personal servant to give such and such instructions, and sent him out.
"I see that my uncle is full of spring breeze, but what good things have happened recently?" Master Ji San arranged for the little maid to follow Gu Lei'er secretly, and when he came back and sat down, he asked Uncle Gu.
"Hey, hey, hey," Uncle Gu laughed heavily, now that Master Ji San is a talent, he doesn't dare to talk to Master Ji San as casually as in the past. "What a happy event. It's not like I'm following the eldest sister and nephews. ”
"Uncle, don't hide it from me!" Master Ji San winked at Uncle Gu, his expression seemed to know what Uncle Gu was hiding.
Uncle Gu's face was a little uncomfortable.
"It's really not a happy event, it's, it's just...... Follow my in-laws. I did a little business and made a little money. Uncle Gu said vaguely.
Uncle Gu was doing business with Jiang Qingshan, why didn't he hear Second Master Ji talk about it? Is it that Master Ji Er thinks this kind of thing is not worth mentioning?
Ji Xiaotang turned his face and went to see Second Master Ji.
Second Master Ji shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know about it.
"Xia'er, they know that the third master and the third girl are back, and they have to hurry to salute and say hello." Jiang said with a smile.
The topic gradually became more and more boring, and Ji Xiaotang quietly got up and went outside, thinking about going to Mrs. Ji's house to see if Changsheng had woken up. She had just walked out of the door of the upper room. Gu Xue'er chased after her.
"Xiaotang, wait for me." Gu Xue'er greeted Ji Xiaotang.
Gu Xue'er doesn't usually talk much, and she talks even less to Ji Xiaotang. almost never took the initiative to find Ji Xiaotang. In front of Ji Xiaotang, Gu Xue'er always had a stuffy face, even if she occasionally smiled, she didn't smile a lot.
Gu Xue'er was in front of Ji Xiaotang. I have always had low self-esteem and restraint.
Today's Gu Xue'er is unusual. Lively, enthusiastic and a little fake.
Ji Xiaotang still stood still and looked at Gu Xue'er.
“…… I've been there for so many days, and I've been talking to my parents about you every day. Gu Xue'er came to Ji Xiaotang and said with a smile on her face, "There is no family that doesn't say hello, only ......."
Gu Xue'er said this, and deliberately glanced into the room.
"It's Xiaoyun, we don't know how she has such a temper. I can't even tolerate my own sister. Xiaotang, I'll sue you......" Gu Xue'er lowered her voice. leaned into Ji Xiaotang's ear.
Ji Xiaotang took a step to the side.
"What about my sister, it's not your turn to talk about it." Ji Xiaotang was very unkind to Gu Xue'er.
This is her consistent attitude towards Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er's sisters.
Gu Xue'er's face immediately turned red, she swallowed her saliva, and didn't walk away.
"Xiaotang, I heard that you brought back a lot of good things." Gu Xue'er's face pulled out a dry smile again.
Ji Xiaotang didn't speak, she waited to see what Gu Xue'er was going to do.
"Xiaotang, that music box, you must still have it, right. I will not ask you for it, but I will buy it from you with money. …… Don't always look at people with a straight eye, we don't rely on your poor relatives, we have money. In the future, my family may be richer than yours. …… Say, how much silver does a music box cost, I'll pay it out! ”
Ji Xiaotang looked at Gu Xue'er.
Gu Xue'er's excessive dress, as well as this exaggerated ...... of wealth and arrogance at the moment, so it turned out, Ji Xiaotang immediately understood.
The Gu family has gained some foreign wealth.
Gu Xue'er didn't want to buy a music box, she came to show her.
But what if you have silver, there are so many things in the world that you can't buy them with silver. Gu Xue'er's tail was a little too early.
Ji Xiaotang didn't plan to pay attention to Gu Xue'er's careful thoughts, but she thought of what Gu Xue'er said at the beginning. Gu Xue'er wants to separate her and Ji Xiaoyun.
Gu Xue'er's simple little trick will never succeed in her, but Ji Xiaoyun can't say for sure.
Moreover, Gu Xue'er has this kind of thought, which is hateful.
"The music box is gone." Ji Xiaotang was simply authentic.
"Xiaotang, are you afraid that I won't be able to afford the money!" Gu Xue'er immediately said, and rolled up her sleeves in front of Ji Xiaotang, so that Ji Xiaotang could see the bracelet on her wrist. "I'll trade these two bracelets with you."
"Xiaotang, do you know how much these two bracelets weigh and how much silver they are worth, it is this workmanship, which is rare in the world, it is made in the hands of nobles who specialize in serving the palace......" Gu Xia'er showed the shrimp bracelet in her hand.
Ji Xiaotang deliberately gave a lot of eyes.
Gu Xue'er saw that Ji Xiaotang cared, and became more and more proud. She remembered that even Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun had never worn this kind of bracelet.
"This bracelet was given to you by your sister from the Jiang family?" Ji Xiaotang's eyes moved away from the bracelet, looked at Gu Xue'er and asked.
Gu Xue'er was stunned. Ji Xiaotang suddenly told the origin of the bracelet, which made Gu Xue'er unhappy. Ji Xiaotang still saw her to death. But Gu Xue'er couldn't refute Ji Xiaotang.
"Yes and what." Gu Xue'er said.
"I remember these bracelets." Ji Xiaotang said lightly, "My mother and my father just came back from office, and your sister and her mother-in-law came to kowtow to my mother, and gave me a needle and thread made by hand." When my mother saw that she was docile and filial, she was happy and rewarded her with these bracelets. ”
"Your sister has gained power in the Jiang family and brought you all her mother-in-law's jewelry." Ji Xiaotang looked at Gu Xue'er.
Does Gu Xue'er know what kind of life Gu Xia'er lives in the Jiang family under Gu Xia'er's seemingly glamorous appearance?!
"None of our sisters will wear this bracelet. It's dead, it's not worth a lot of money, only those nouveau riche who have never seen the world regard it as a treasure! ”
"You ......" Gu Xue'er's face was flushed with anger, and her eyes widened.
But she didn't dare to really lose her temper with Ji Xiaotang.
"Ji Xiaotang, don't forget, you still have to call me aunt." Gu Xue'er said this, and then glanced into the room again, wondering in her heart if she made a fuss at this time, saying that Ji Xiaotang looked down on her, I don't know if Mrs. Ji will be on her side.
"Huh." Ji Xiaotang sneered, "Gu Xue'er, I know, you don't look down on my sister." However, it is up to you that you are not worthy of lifting shoes for my sister. Let me know that you dare to stir things around, and don't blame me for not knowing who you are! ”
Gu Xue'er was speechless.
“…… I thought that with a few dollars, I would be able to be on an equal footing with our sisters, and you deserve it! In this world, you have never had a chance to see it, and there are many good things that you have never heard of. …… If you buy it with silver, you will lose the mouth that you dare to say, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue! I advise you to live in peace, and if you still have some hearts, think carefully about the origin of your money! ”
Ji Xiaotang was not polite at all, and turned Gu Xue'er's reprimanded face from blood red to miserable white, and turned away.
"Girl, is that good?" Leaving Mrs. Ji's yard, the eldest girl Xiu'er said to Ji Xiaotang with some worry.
"This is the only way to deal with this kind of person." Ji Xiaotang said. No matter what he thought in his heart, Ji Xiaotang almost never said such powerful words. But in the face of people like Gu Xue'er, only this method is the most labor-saving and effective.
Ji Xiaotang really doesn't like the Gu family.
Especially Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er. They used Ji Xiaoyun, but they looked down on Ji Xiaoyun in their hearts because of Ji Xiaoyun's easy use. Now Gu Xia'er is honest, but Gu Xue'er came out again, and she actually wanted to separate her and Ji Xiaoyun.
No matter how bad Ji Xiaoyun is, it is not something that others can chew and bully in their mouths.
Ji Xiaotang played with Changsheng for a long time, and a little girl came over to invite her to dinner.
The banquet was placed in Mrs. Ji's room, divided into two tables, everyone else accompanied Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Ji took Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang to sit at another table.
Gu Xue'er was not seen on both tables.
“…… Ran away without saying anything. Ji Xiaoyun told Ji Xiaotang, "She looked at my music box and wanted it, but I didn't give it to her, and said that she wanted to change it with me, but I ignored her, I guess I was angry." ”
Ji Xiaoyun spoke with childlike pleasure.
"That's your grandmother's niece, a ...... seniority higher than you," Mrs. Ji instructed her two daughters, meaning to treat Gu Xue'er with courtesy and respect.
Ji Xiaoyun likes Gu Xia'er, but she doesn't like Gu Xue'er, and she doesn't take Mrs. Ji's words to heart at all.
Ji Xiaotang also didn't respond.
When Mrs. Ji said this, she didn't mention it anymore, but just watched her two daughters eat well.
……
After the banquet was over, Ji Xiaotang saw that the sky was good, so he took the girls to the Ruyi Garden for a walk to eat. When I walked to a small stone bridge in the garden, I saw Master Ji San walking towards him.
"Uncle......" Ji Xiaotang called.
"Xiaotang, I was about to go to find your father." Master Ji San walked over quickly, "...... I asked people to follow Gu Lei'er, and that guy really didn't go to Zhuangzi. Xiaotang, guess where he went? (To be continued......)
