As soon as Ji Xiaogu got home, he went to the compound, Ji Lao Taijun had already heard the people who came to report before, knowing that Yu Shu was found back, and when he saw his third son, his face was less serious, but he still didn't smile.

"Mother."

"Someone got it back?"

"Yes."

"Take care of the person, don't let her run away, and then send someone to teach her etiquette, lest she lose my Ji family in front of the Xue family."

"My son knows what to say." Ji Xiaogu retired, went back to his yard first, and went to Xiaoxi Pavilion to find Aunt Cui.

***

"Hmph."

Yu Shu was sitting cross-legged on the bed and throwing the copper plate, when she heard a cold snort, she turned her head to look, and saw a beautiful woman standing at the door, wearing a pomegranate skirt, cherry armor, and a silver bead flower on her sideburns, staring at her with a pair of eyes.

Yu Shu has seen Aunt Cui no more than five fingers, and her biggest impression is that this mother is too reasonable, and it is incredible to treat her own daughter like a stepmother, if it weren't for Aunt Liu's testimony, she really doubted that she was not her own.

stepped on his shoes and got out of bed, Yu Shu couldn't do anything kind, so he shouted stupidly: "Mother." ”

Aunt Cui twisted her steps into the house, glanced at the empty furnishings in the house, snorted again, took a step forward, stretched out her hand to poke at Yu Shu's head, and said sharply: "You dead child, where did you go, it's easy to find, don't worry about things, look at your ghost now!" ”

Yu Shu was poked by her unguarded, and the feeling of her nails tied to her forehead was uncomfortable, seeing that she poked her again, she hurriedly turned her head sideways to dodge:

"Mother, the Ji family obviously kicked me out, what are you looking for me to come back for?" Yu Shu couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked Aunt Cui, how much she wanted to get something out of her mouth.

Aunt Cui said angrily: "The old lady opened her mouth, it's not that you were a thief and did bad things, otherwise how would you be beaten and driven out." ”

Yu Shu sat back on the bed, "At that time, I didn't know that the fish was so expensive, and a fish was worth a life, but now I know that I was wrong." ”

Aunt Cui didn't hear her words, and she was still complaining that Yu Shu was ignorant, she was snubbed by Ji Xiaogu for a while when she broke into the scourge last time, and looked at this daughter closely, only to feel that she was quite well-behaved in addition to her appearance, and there was no place to please her body, thinking that the Xue family might not like her, and she lost an opportunity to climb rich and noble, so she was smoldered:

"You listen to me, you used to be weird, from today onwards, you will honestly abide by the rules for me, don't talk nonsense, dare to run away from this family business, you see how I fix you!"

Hearing this, Yu Shu raised his head and said vigilantly: "Family matter? What's the matter? ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Cui was a little proud, raised her chin and said: "Count your luck as a girl, the Xue Shangshu family in the capital wants to marry our Ji family, and has taken a fancy to the fourth miss of the second master's family, how can the fourth miss's life be too high, and the Xue family is afraid that it will not be beautiful in turn, so she wants to choose a girl with a bad life from the family before the fourth miss marries, replace the fourth lady's eight characters to make a concubine for that Xue Dashao, temporarily suppress the fourth lady's qi, and choose to choose you." ”

"What?" Yu Shu stood up from the bed suddenly, her eyes widened, and the startled Aunt Cui took two steps back before standing firmly.

Yu Shu now understood that Ji Xiaogu coaxed her back on the street in a good voice for something, and felt annoyed and ridiculous, this Ji family actually wanted her to be a substitute for the baby fourth lady.

Concubine, they were so embarrassed to give her stepdaughter who was kicked out of the house to be a concubine, or a person who was sent over to be happy, the Ji family, a group of shameless people, what lack of virtue they can't do!

"What are you yelling about!" Aunt Cui covered her chest, looked at the fire on Yu Shu's face, and remembered the worry that Ji Xiaogu had told her in the room before, she couldn't help but change her face, and said suspiciously: "You, you don't want to?" ”

When Ji Xiaogu talked to her, she still felt that he was worried in vain, she still understood her daughter, a whole lazy and greedy and vain character, she could be a concubine for such a person, as long as she fought to please the young master Xue, she would be worry-free in the future, and she would be prosperous and wealthy, how could she not be willing?

Yu Shu took a deep breath, looked at Aunt Cui with a look of "you don't want to pick it up cheaply", and didn't want to lose her temper with the biological mother of this body, so she could only say patiently:

"Mother, think about it, if it's really a good thing, can it be my turn, not to mention what kind of family the Xue family is, is the eldest young master Xue missing arms and legs, I am a helpless woman, I entered their house as a concubine, or temporarily took the position of the fourth miss, how many people will look at me, can my life be better, in the future, the fourth miss will marry, how should I deal with myself? Mother, you think this is a blessing, this is clearly a fire pit and no one wants to jump, so the Ji family pushed me out. ”

Aunt Cui was stunned by what she said, and when she saw that her daughter was reasoning with her, she complained about herself, and couldn't help but be angry:

"You think people are willing to pick you, if you weren't the only one in the family, how could such a good thing be your turn!"

"A good thing?" Yu Shu couldn't cry or laugh, and when he saw that he couldn't make sense with this long-haired and short-sighted mother, he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Then what does the Xue family and the Ji family have to do with me, their surname is Ji, my surname is Yu, they want to give someone away as a concubine, why don't they send their own daughters, who loves this feng shui ornament should let whoever go, it's best for the mother to go and tell the third master now, so that they can save this heart."

In order to plan Lu to go to Beijing to find the Xuannu Liurenshu, she still has a lot of things to prepare, how can she have the spare time and Ji Jiaxu and the snake, and face the huge Yi Xue family, she may not even be an ant in the eyes of others, but they really regard her as a fish and meat that can be used by others, and it depends on whether they can swallow her hard bone.

"You, you-" Aunt Cui was angry with her words, and her face was crooked, "I don't know how to lift!" ”

"Yes, I don't know how to lift," Yu Shu bent down to pick up his shoes, put on his feet, stood up and straightened his clothes, glanced at Aunt Cui, and walked out, and when she came out of the house, Aunt Cui hurriedly caught up-

"Damn girl, where are you going!"

Yu Shutou didn't reply: "The Ji family has already kicked me out, and I'm not this family, what are you doing here, I want to go back." ”

"You-"

"Why aren't you from this house?"

Later, Aunt Cui was angry, Yu Shu walked to the gate of the courtyard, but was stopped by Ji Xiaogu, who was entering the courtyard, and asked with a cold face.

Yu Shu looked at her titular stepfather, and said coldly: "The third old man has not forgotten, three months ago I stole the old lady's eight-treasure fragrant carp and was beaten with thirty whips, the old lady personally opened his mouth and blasted me out, I am a girl's house, with injuries on my body, living on the streets, if it wasn't for well-wishers, this life would have been unable to live a long time ago, let me ask you, what else do I have to do with your Ji family?" ”

Hearing that she was full of resentment, Ji Xiaogu's face turned cold, glanced at Aunt Cui who was trembling behind her, and sneered:

At the beginning, your mother begged me to take your sister and brother into the Ji family, I pity your sister and brother for being lonely, so I will take you back, provide you with food and shelter, and let you go to school, you don't read these good, just because you did something wrong, beat you, and drove you out for a few days, you don't care about any kindness, and say that you are not from the Ji family, so did the Ji family raise you for all those days?

"The third master is going to settle accounts with me?" Yu Shu nodded, "Okay, I'll calculate with you, my brother and I eat and live together in the Ji family, thin soup pancakes, pickles and beans, even if it is twenty yuan a day, six hundred yuan a month, we move to the Ji family for more than half a year, even if it is a year, this is seven thousand two hundred yuan, that is, seven taels and two dimes of silver, right?" ”

While calculating, Yu Shu took out the money bag that had been robbed once before from his arms, took out a silver ticket in a pile of copper plates and silver corners, shook it open, handed it to Ji Xiaogu with a gloomy face, and said:

"You take it, here are ten taels, and the extra will be given to you as interest, but you have to remember this time, I don't have a penny relationship with the Ji family, my brother and I will take care of it myself, from now on he will live with me, don't worry about your Ji family."

He turned his head to the panicked Aunt Cui and said: "Mother, if you don't live here in the future, the Ji family can't tolerate you, so come out to find me, you are my biological mother, give birth to me and raise me, this point can't be changed, I should serve you for the rest of my life." ”

Hearing this, looking at Ji Xiaogu's gloomy face, where did Aunt Cui dare to admit her, and was about to scold, when she heard a "tearing" sound, Ji Xiaogu tore the silver ticket in his hand, and the eyes of the hanging horn showed a terrifying fierceness:

"What you said just now, I don't think I heard it, the names of your two sisters and brothers are still under my household registration, your marriage is naturally up to me, you can be disobedient and go against my will, but the end is definitely not as easy as thirty whips."

After that, he threw the torn silver ticket in his hand into Yu Shu's face, stretched out his finger and pointed at her and said to Aunt Cui:

"You take her to a miscellaneous courtyard to see, Xiao Xiu's child is disobedient, out of the house to run around for a few days, today let people meet Lu on the street, just sent back, I beat him according to the family law but whip, this child is not beaten, see the blood fainted, the son does not godmother's fault, in the future the two of them have any mistakes, I will ask you."

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Cui and Yu Shu changed their faces at the same time, one was frightened and the other was angry.

"Old, old man......"

Aunt Cui still wanted to say something to Ji Xiaogu, Yu Shu had already run out of the house with a blue face, and the guards guarding the gate of the courtyard didn't need Ji Xiaogu's orders, so they followed one up.

Ji Xiaogu looked at Aunt Cui who was still standing stupidly in the distance, sighed lightly, her face softened, she stepped forward to pick up her slightly trembling shoulders, bowed her head and coaxed:

"Scaring you? Don't be afraid, children, you have to teach you to be sensible, don't worry, as long as your daughter honestly doesn't make trouble for me, how can I be willing to punish you. ”

Aunt Cui shuddered, snuggled on Ji Xiaogu's chest, nodded obediently, tears swirled in her eyes, but she didn't dare to fall.

Ji Xiaogu let go of her, and as soon as she got out of the courtyard, she saw a servant hurriedly running to this side:

"Third master, third master, the Xue family has come to Yiyang, the old lady asked you to go over and discuss the meeting!"
