CHAPTER XXII

Ji Xiaotang led Xie Huaijin to ask Mrs. Ji for peace, and Mrs. Ji left two people to eat snacks.

"I haven't been here for a while, and I look like I've grown taller." Mrs. Ji looked at Xie Huaijin kindly, for this pleasing young man, Mrs. Ji still likes it.

"What about you?" Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaotang again.

"My mother accompanied the Xie family's aunt to talk, and asked me to bring Brother Huaijin over." Ji Xiaotang said, while picking up a piece of rose cake for Xie Huaijin. She remembered that Xie Huaijin loved to eat this the most.

Xie Huaijin took the rose cake with a smile and ate it sweetly.

Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

After talking in Mrs. Ji's room, Ji Xiaotang saw that Mrs. Ji's face showed tiredness, so he took Xie Huaijin out to say goodbye.

Spring is in full bloom, and Mrs. Ji is always sleepy during the day.

The two left Mrs. Ji's yard, and they didn't go to find Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Xie. Ji Xiaotang took Xie Huaijin to the small cross courtyard and followed Master Ji San to watch the little guys practice martial arts.

Xie Huaijin watched it with interest for a while, then lost interest, and only whispered to Ji Xiaotang.

"I heard my father tell my mother before, and my uncle got what he wanted this time and found what he liked to do." When it comes to the topic of Master Ji San's martial arts, it is inevitable that Master Ji San's injury will be mentioned again. "Xiaotang, you must have been frightened at the time. Thanks to not you, it's not you who dropped the trap. ”

As soon as the last sentence came out, Xie Huaijin felt a little speechless, and hurriedly glanced at Master Ji San. He lowered his voice to speak, Master Ji San should not be able to hear clearly, but he was always a little weak-hearted.

Master Ji San didn't know if he really didn't hear it, or if he didn't hear it, he just stared at the martial arts training ground and didn't react in the slightest.

Xie Huaijin grimaced at Ji Xiaotang.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I've been coming to see you for a long time. But there were many things at home, and my father wouldn't let me go out. ”

"Uncle Xie is busy with business, and Uncle Xie is also sick, of course you can't go out." Ji Xiaotang nodded in understanding.

"Father has been very busy lately." Xie Huaijin said.

"What is Uncle Xie up to?" Ji Xiaotang asked casually.

Xie Huaijin didn't answer immediately, but looked left and right.

Ji Xiaotang immediately noticed something unusual.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaotang lowered his voice slightly and asked again.

"There were guests at home, and my father vacated the main courtyard for the guests to live in, and he didn't let me talk to my mother." Xie Huaijin said in a low voice, "Don't let anyone know." ”

Even so, Xie Huaijin still told Ji Xiaotang to listen. Father told him not to sue sΓΉ people, that is, not to sue sΓΉ others, Ji Xiaotang is not someone else.

"What kind of amazing person is it? Business or private? Ji Xiaotang asked.

"It should be business." Xie Huaijin touched his head, not very sure. Compared with the Ji family, the Xie family is thinner, and there are very few relatives.

"You've seen these people, what do they look like?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"I haven't seen it officially, but I saw a few men from a distance yesterday." Xie Huaijin said, "My mother and I both guessed, I'm afraid it's the Qincha sent down by the top for a private visit." ”

"It sounds like that's what you're saying." Ji Xiaotang nodded, not taking it very seriously. Almost every year, the imperial court sent out to inspect the imperial history, and it was commonplace to have both open and secret visits.

If there is any obstacle in the Yu Ji family, Xie Zhixian will inform the second master of Ji no matter what.

Ji Xiaotang has nothing to worry about.

However, since it is an unannounced visit, it is a bit strange that Xie Zhixian can vacate the main courtyard.

In the study, Xie Zhixian was talking to Second Master Ji.

"Brother Wen Min, where did you hear these words?" Xie Zhixian and Second Master Ji sat across the bookcase, and after listening to Second Master Ji's words, they were a little surprised.

"I don't have any specific provenance, but I've heard it happen occasionally. Brother Ziqian, I am afraid that it is not true for others to ask about this matter, so I can only ask you. Did he do anything wrong? ”

"Oh......" Xie Zhixian didn't answer immediately, he glanced at Ji Er's face, and then groaned.

"Brother Ziqian, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Ji Er said.

"As far as I know, he often walked around in front of the yamen, made some friends, and helped people fight grievances. As for champerty, there should be none. I can't tolerate such a thing. Xie Zhixian pondered for a moment, and then said slowly.

Second Master Ji seemed to be relieved.

"However, you also know about the things in this yamen, Brother Wen Min. Even if we sit in the hall, we don't necessarily know everything. If Brother Wen Min is not at ease, I will go back and inquire carefully. If this is really the case, it is my negligence, and I will tell Brother Wenmin again. ”

"It's a big deal, and I have to be careful. I'm afraid that Brother Ziqian will recognize him as a member of my Ji family, and he won't be able to wipe his face, but he will condone him. ”

"I have been friends with Brother Wen Min for many years, and I know Brother Wen Min's temper best, and I will never be like this." Xie Zhixian laughed loudly. "Jiang Qingshan is a person who can do anything, and it is inevitable that he will offend people, and some gossip will come out. Brother Wen Min is worried, and it is also human nature. ”

Second Master Ji smiled, and did not argue with Xie Zhixian.

It was none other than his daughter Ji Xiaotang who said Jiang Qingshan.

Whoever Jiang Qingshan offends can't offend Ji Xiaotang.

Xie Zhixian said that Jiang Qingshan did not take care of the lawsuit, so it must be not. As for Ji Xiaotang, I'm afraid it was where this kid heard the rumors. As Xie Zhixian said, it was Jiang Qingshan's opponent who was slandering Jiang Qingshan.

A stone fell to the ground in Ji Er's heart, and he didn't mention it anymore at the moment.

Ji Xiaotang was in the courtyard, and a little girl came to report to her, saying that Master Ji Er had ordered someone to set up a banquet in the flower hall at the back, and he wanted to enjoy the flowers and drink with Master Xie, and asked Master Ji San and Xie Huaijin to go over.

Of course, Master Ji San can't drink yet, but he needs to see Xie Zhixian.

The little girl also told Ji Xiaotang that Mrs. Ji's room also set up a banquet and asked her to hurry over.

When Xie Zhixian's family left Jifu, it was already the end of the day.

"What are you smiling at, you kid?" Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Huaijin with a glance.

Xie Huaijin has not disappeared since he came out of Ji Mansion. Sitting in the carriage, it was still the same. In Mrs. Xie's eyes, Xie Huaijin's current smile is really a little silly.

"Hey, hey." Mrs. Xie asked twice before Xie Huaijin came back to her senses.

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but laugh, raised her hand and touched the top of her son's hair.

"Mother, Xiaotang...... Xiaotang treated me very well. ”

"Haven't you always gotten along well?" Mrs. Xie asked with a smile.

"Hmm. However, Xiaotang treated me very well today. Xie Huaijin looked at Mrs. Xie with blank eyes.

"Why is she so nice to you, what did she tell you?" Mrs. Xie immediately asked curiously.

Xie Huaijin thought about it carefully, Ji Xiaotang didn't seem to say anything special to her, and he didn't do anything special. But he just felt different.

Ji Xiaotang treated him very special today...... Gentle.

Yes, even Ji Xiaotang's gaze when he looked at him was extraordinarily gentle. Xiaotang also wanted to wipe his sweat, although he didn't really do it in the end, Xiaotang must have been shy.

In fact, it wasn't that he hadn't seen him for a long time, but he felt that Ji Xiaotang missed him very much.

"Xiaotang didn't ......," Xie Huaijin said honestly, "But, mother, Xiaotang, she's a very gentle and good girl." Mother......"

Xie Huaijin spoke incoherently and incoherently.

But Mrs. Xie understood.

"Mother knows, you stupid boy." Mrs. Xie looked at her son for a while, then hugged her son with a smile, "Mother also likes Xiaotang's child." When you are two years older, my mother will propose marriage to your Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji. ”

"Mother, you're so good." Xie Huaijin's face flushed with excitement. Although she had already vaguely known it in her heart, this was the first time that Mrs. Xie had spoken her words clearly.

"You stupid boy, you have to be good to Xiaotang in the future. But don't run into her, you know? Mrs. Xie instructed Xie Huaijin again.

"Mother, I won't. I listen to Xiaotang everything. Xie Huaijin said.

"You still have to study hard. Your Uncle Ji was born as a Jinshi, and Xiaotang followed your Uncle Ji to read a lot of books. If your knowledge is not good, your Uncle Ji will not like you. Xiaotang will also look down on you. ”

"Mother, I will study hard, match Xiaotang, and let Uncle Ji like me."

"That's right."

"I'll go back later, I have to talk to Mama Cheng." After Mrs. Xie encouraged her son, she remembered what Ji Xiaotang entrusted to her. "There should be no one in Mama Cheng's house. Xiaotang's child, she will definitely like it. Let Mama Cheng go over, take care of Xiaotang for two years, and then come back with her. With her help, Xiaotang will be relieved in the future, and I will rest assured. ”

The more Mrs. Xie thought about it, the happier she became.

The reason why she took this matter apart despite the embarrassment was for Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang will be her Xie family after all.

After sending away the three members of the Xie family, Ji Xiaotang immediately went to the study to find the second master Ji.
