Chapter 57: Seizure
"Grandmother, don't ask, I didn't pay attention for a while, and I said it away. Daddy said, don't sue Grandma. I was afraid that my grandmother would get excited and hurt herself. Ji Xiaotang saw Mrs. Ji asking, but refused to say.
This clearly made Mrs. Ji more anxious and wanted to know the truth even more.
"Good boy, tell me quickly. How can you hide such a big thing from me! "Mrs. Ji is busy, so let Ji Xiaotang come to her." I'm old, and my ears are not good, Xiaotang, tell me again. ”
When Ji Xiaotang saw Mrs. Ji like this, he didn't insist anymore.
"I told my grandmother that I could, but my grandmother had to make sure that she couldn't get excited. If my grandmother hurts herself, my father won't spare me. Ji Xiaotang said to Mrs. Ji first.
Old Mrs. Ji took a deep breath and stroked her chest again.
"Grandmother is not excited, grandmother is fine. Good boy, tell your grandmother. ”
Ji Xiaotang repeated what he had just said again.
Other people's bones were secretly buried in the blessed land of the Ji family, what a big deal, and Uncle Gu and the Jiang family next to them also changed their faces.
Ji Xiaotang's gaze quickly swept over the faces of several people in the Gu family.
In addition to Uncle Gu and the Jiang family, Gu Xia'er was also surprised.
There was no reaction to Gu Xue'er.
Ji Xiaotang was not suspicious of Gu Xue'er. Gu Xue'er is just young and doesn't know the seriousness of the matter, and she really doesn't care about these things.
As for Gu Leier......
Gu Lei'er was not as surprised as Uncle Gu and the Jiang family.
Is this the reason why Fang Er was with Jiang Er, and Jiang Er had already revealed some rumors to him?
The Gu family has been far away in Bowang for the past two months, and they should not have known about the Ji family's blessed land in advance.
After Mrs. Ji slowly digested the news, Ji Xiaotang told Mrs. Ji about the incident. It's just that Jiang Qingshan is not mentioned.
"There is such a thing, there is such a thing." Mrs. Ji said again and again.
At this time, Master Ji Er and Master Ji San walked in from outside.
"What Xiaotang said, but is it true?" Mrs. Ji asked Second Master Ji.
"It's all true." Second Master Ji said, "I didn't plan to let the old lady worry about it." ”
"How can such a big thing be hidden from me. This is...... Big deal. If something like this happens, there will be no peace under the old lady's nine springs. Mrs. Ji said.
"Don't be angry, old lady, the matter has been settled." Ji Er said hurriedly.
"Who has the audacity to do such a thing?" Mrs. Ji asked.
"Yes, this is who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and did such a thing. Can anyone catch it? Uncle Gu also asked.
"If you want to know who did it, you have to help the old lady." Ji Xiaotang said.
Old Lady Ji looked at Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu was a little speechless for a while.
"Bring Jiang Er up." Master Ji San commanded.
Jiang Er came in trembling at this time, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground with a thud. Just now, he was arranged by Master Ji San to be watched at the door, and he listened to everything in the house.
Jiang Er originally wanted to use the light of his sister and brother-in-law to get back the Ji family's errand. After all, Mrs. Ji only has Uncle Gu's younger brother, and she usually protects her shortcomings very much, and Second Master Ji is extremely filial.
He didn't expect that if the errand was not returned, the Ji family would have to settle old accounts with him.
At that time, the second master Ji sent the chief steward to the sacrificial village, but he was replaced, and he and another steward were dismissed, but they did not investigate deeply.
Isn't the matter of burying the corpse in the blessed land already settled, why did he bring it up again at this time, it seems that he still wants to attack him hard.
Jiang Er knelt there, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve non-stop. He was already bulky and prone to sweating, and at this time he was nervous, and he was sweating even more.
"My uncle asked him for my grandmother, I think he can tell the truth when he looks at his relatives with my uncle." Ji Xiaotang said.
The meaning of these words is obviously to treat Jiang Er as an accomplice in burying the corpse.
“…… Wronged," Jiang Er shouted injustice when he was busy, "...... I didn't know anything, I just drank some wine, I went to sleep that night, and I really didn't know anything. Give me the courage to do such a thing. ”
"I told you what day it was, you weren't an accomplice, how do you know?" Ji Xiaotang asked with a sneer.
Jiang Er was immediately asked.
After being dumbfounded for a long time, Jiang Er reacted again, and was busy shouting grievances, while his eyes drifted in the direction of Uncle Gu and the Jiang family.
"I really don't know, I, I just guessed, I was drunk that night, I don't know, I don't know......"
The Ji family looked at the face of the old uncle and gave him this important errand. Let's see how he repaid the Ji family. Second Master Ji said.
"Sister, brother-in-law, ......" Jiang Er didn't look good. He is a person with a weak heart, so he is afraid that he will not find out who buried the body, and wants to push the matter on him.
If this matter is decided, when it comes to the yamen, the lightest punishment will be the punishment of confiscation and distribution.
Even if the Ji family had any scruples and didn't send him to the yamen, the Ji family's family law would not let him go.
"Old lady, when they do this, they not only disturb my father and the ancestors of the Ji family who cannot rest under the nine springs, but also want to spoil the feng shui of our Ji family." Second Master Ji said to Mrs. Ji again.
Mrs. Ji is short-sighted and partial to her younger brother, but between her brother-in-law, Mrs. Ji and the feng shui of the Ji family, Mrs. Ji has nothing to hesitate.
Old Lady Ji glanced at Jiang Er, and then her eyes fell on Jiang's body.
Old Lady Ji looked at the Jiang family with a very unkind gaze.
When Jiang Er called his sister and brother-in-law again, Uncle Gu stood up suddenly.
Uncle Gu walked up to Jiang Er's side, paused slightly, then raised his foot and kicked Jiang Er to the ground with a fierce kick.
"You eat inside and out. In vain, my sister's family has supported you for all these years, and you don't know how to repay it well, but you still hurt my sister and my nephew. I don't have to bother to send you to the yamen, I'll kill you, everyone is clean." ”
Uncle Gu said, and kicked Jiang Er twice, and the kicked Jiang Er rolled on the ground, howling continuously.
Mrs. Ji couldn't see this.
"You ask him, who did that, and what benefits did it give him?" Old Mrs. Ji said to Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu asked Jiang Er.
Jiang Er replied while protecting his face, still saying that he was drunk and didn't know anything.
"If you don't say it, it seems that you don't know the pain." Uncle Gu kicked Jiang Er again.
"I really don't know." Jiang Er still didn't change his words, but said again, "It was the Zhou steward in the house who sent the wine and food, and the big guy got drunk." I don't know anything, so I should ask Steward Zhou. ”
Jiang Er didn't know what kind of psychology it was, so he told Steward Zhou.
The suspiciousness of this Zhou steward, Ji Xiaotang had already told Ji Er Master about it, but Ji Er Ye never moved Zhou Steward.
However, since Jiang Er said him, there was no need to keep him anymore.
"Call Steward Zhou." Second Master Ji commanded.
Steward Zhou was soon called, Master Ji Er asked in person, and Steward Zhou also said that he didn't know, but he was passing by Qingxi Mountain, and he happened to have some wine and food in his hand, so he took it to the sacrificial village and invited everyone to eat.
Steward Zhou's faint meaning was still for the sake of Jiang Er, so he did it.
Whether it is Ji Xiaotang or Ji Er, they are not surprised by this.
If they could target Jiang Qingshan so easily, they wouldn't have used this method.
The second master Ji ordered that he beat Steward Zhou for twenty boards, and asked people to raid Steward Zhou's residence, and as a result, a lot of unknown things were found.
Steward Zhou has been doing the procurement of lamps, oils, candles and other items for a long time, filling his own pockets, and he has collected a lot.
With these mistakes, Steward Zhou can't stay anymore no matter what. As soon as Master Ji gave an order, he only gave Steward Zhou the clothes he was carrying, and drove the people out.
did not send Steward Zhou to the official, this is already an open side.
However, the subordinates who made such a mistake and were kicked out are destined to have no good time from now on.
As for Jiang Er, seeing that Steward Zhou was kicked out by the board, he didn't dare to think about any errand for managing things at this moment.
Uncle Gu kicked Jiang Er twice in a row.
After all, it was still for the sake of Uncle Gu's face, Jiang Er's board was spared and he was also kicked out. Don't say anything about taking care of things, it's impossible to be the most ordinary guy in the Ji family in the future.
After this scene, when the banquet is set up again, the atmosphere cannot be too warm in any way.
Uncle Gu's reception banquet ended hastily in the end.
Mrs. Ji left Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er, and asked Uncle Gu and Jiang to take Gu Lei'er home to rest earlier.
"Come and say hello to the eldest sister tomorrow morning, and go to Zhuangzi." Uncle Gu said to Mrs. Ji when he was leaving.
"Don't be anxious, you can rest more, just send the faithful and able." Mrs. Ji said.
"The eldest sister feels sorry for me, I can't think about the eldest sister and my nephews. After a while, it's never too late for me to rest. Uncle Gu said.
Originally, when Mrs. Ji was alive, she arranged for Uncle Gu to take charge of a small silk village in the city, and the Gu family had no worries about food and clothing. Old Mrs. Ji passed away, and Uncle Gu quietly said something to Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji told Second Master Ji that she asked Uncle Gu to take care of the Ji family's largest grange, that is, the Zhuangzi with hundreds of good fields at the foot of Qingxi Mountain outside Qingyuan County.
Uncle Gu took care of Zhuangzi, and even took his brother-in-law Jiang Er to the adjacent sacrificial village to do stewardship.
Uncle Gu took charge of the grange, although the wind and rain were smooth year after year, but the harvest handed in by the Zhuangzi was decreasing every year.
Mrs. Ji was coaxed by Uncle Gu in a few words, and only said that Uncle Gu worked hard.
As for Second Master Ji, for the sake of Mrs. Ji's face, she turned a blind eye to this matter.
Now Uncle Gu is back in time for the wheat harvest. It seems that this year's Grange is destined to fail again.
After sending Uncle Gu away, Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji both went to the front.
Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang stayed in Mrs. Ji's house.
Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er stayed, and Mrs. Ji Er said that she would help with the cooking.
There was no need to clean up the yard separately, Mrs. Ji's house was complete with all kinds of things, so the Gu sisters quickly settled down. As usual, the two sisters live with Ji Xiaoyun.
Ji Xiaoyun got Gu Xia'er as her companion, with a smile on her face.
"You weren't at home before, and you didn't get along much with your Aunt Xia and Aunt Xue." Mrs. Ji deliberately said to Ji Xiaotang, "Come over more often in the future with your Aunt Xia and Aunt Xue, and you will slowly get acquainted." Although you are not of the same generation, you are all about the same age, and you should be together. ”
Saying this, Mrs. Ji added another sentence.
"Your Aunt Xia is very easy to get along with."
Mrs. Ji Er helped Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er take care of it, and then she said goodbye to Mrs. Ji.
"Xiaotang will stay here and play with your sister, as well as Aunt Xia and Aunt Xue." Second Mrs. Ji said to Ji Xiaotang with a smile.
Ji Xiaotang was unwilling.
"Daddy left me his homework, and he hasn't finished it yet. I'll come back when I'm done. Ji Xiaotang said.
"Your father is too, you are a girl, what do you do with such work." Mrs. Ji disagreed, but she didn't say much.
Second Master Ji wants to teach Ji Xiaotang to be a female bachelor, but Mrs. Ji doesn't want to care.
Mrs. Ji didn't say anything, so she took Ji Xiaotang out of Mrs. Ji's house.
"Xiaotang, what's wrong with you today?" When she arrived at Mrs. Ji's house, Mrs. Ji waved everyone away, and then pulled Ji Xiaotang to ask.
"Why did my mother ask that?" Ji Xiaotang did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Others can't see it, can't my mother see it? Do you dislike Aunt Xia and Aunt Xue? Your sister has not been with you since she was a child, and she has been with them a lot, so your sister is closer to them. Your grandmother is also ......, and because you still have less time to get along, your grandmother has treated you differently than before......"
"Mother, what are you thinking?" Ji Xiaotang was a little speechless, Mrs. Ji Er really treated her as a child. How could she eat such childish vinegar. "Mother, when have I ever been so stingy."
"That's right." Mrs. Ji Er laughed, but she was even more puzzled, "Then Xiaotang is unhappy because of something." ”
"I don't like them." As for the mother and daughter, Ji Xiaotang does not beat around the bush.
"It's not because of what my mother thought." Ji Xiaotang looked at Mrs. Ji's expression, and said busily, "It's not just because my mother thinks. ”
Uncle Gu's family is attached to the Ji family and takes care of poor relatives, Ji Xiaotang has seen a lot, and he doesn't care about these money. But Uncle Gu was too greedy, which made her dislike.
However, this is not the main reason why Ji Xiaotang is unhappy.
"I don't like Gu Xia'er." Ji Xiaotang looked at Mrs. Ji and said.
Even Aunt Xia stopped calling, Ji Xiaotang really hated Gu Xia'er.
"Why, I look at Gu Xia'er much better than Gu Xue'er. Do you hate her being too slick and contrived? It's no wonder that she is a girl's family and relies on relatives to live, which is inevitable. Second Mrs. Ji persuaded Ji Xiaotang that she and Gu Xia'er hadn't met much often, and she had a good impression of Gu Xia'er.
The more Mrs. Ji is like this, the more unhappy Ji Xiaotang becomes.
"I don't like the way she looks at Daddy!" R1152
