When the maid heard this, she hurriedly lowered her head.

"The maid has seen the eldest young master......"

Kou Ji didn't even look at the maid, and said indifferently to Qiao's family: "She looks handsome, and she is articulate, but she is a little unruly......"

When Qiao Shi heard this, he secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly excused the maid, "She's just a country girl, she hasn't read a book, and she doesn't know etiquette, don't embarrass her." ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "I am also a person with status, how can I embarrass a girl." ”

Qiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

But I heard Kou Ji say again: "It's just Kou Mansion, after all, it's not a small family." The people who were sent to the house were all dignitaries. If they see that the servants of my Koufu have no rules, they will look down on my Koufu.

Since my aunt said that this girl has never read a book, she doesn't know etiquette.

Then I'll find someone to train her well, so as to prevent her from going out in the future and losing the face of my Kou Mansion. ”

After Kou Ji finished speaking, Qiao's face changed greatly.

Before she could speak, Kou Ji let out a deep sigh.

"Kou Zhong!"

Kou Zhong heard the shout and trotted to Kou Ji from the room not far away.

"The old servant is here."

Kou Ji glanced at the maid who was following Qiao's side, and instructed lightly: "The newly accepted maid in the house doesn't understand the rules, you take it down to find someone to teach you......

Kou Zhong agreed, he didn't need Kou Ji to specify, he also knew that it was Aunt Qiao's maid.

When the maid saw Kou Zhong approaching her expressionlessly, a trace of fear inexplicably rose in her heart, and she subconsciously hid behind Aunt Qiao.

She opened her mouth to accuse Kou Ji just now, also to please Aunt Qiao.

Now that he has hit a hard stubble, he naturally wants to hide beside Aunt Qiao to seek refuge.

She did the same thing when she helped Aunt Qiao Liwei in the house on weekdays.

It's just that what she provokes on weekdays are all those concubines of Kou Li, but today it is Kou Ji who is provoked......

Kou Zhong walked up to the maid and stretched out his old hand, ready to take the maid away.

"Wait...... Wait......"

Qiao Shi stretched out his arm, blocked in front of the maid, and said with an ugly face: "Can you, for my sake, spare her?" ”

Kou Zhong withdrew his outstretched hand and bowed to Aunt Qiao obediently, "Please also ask the little lady not to embarrass the old servant, there are rules in the house, if the servants and maids in the house break the rules and are not punished, then it will be messed up." As the steward of the house, the old servant has no way to explain to the master. ”

The word 'master' in Kou Zhong's mouth bit very hard.

Qiao's heart was ashamed and annoyed, and his face was as black as the bottom of the pot.

Kou Zhong lifted Kou Zhun out and buckled down a large hat.

Maid, I can't keep it.

But she didn't really care much in her heart.

After all, the maid has been with her for less than half a year, and she doesn't have much master-servant relationship.

She couldn't afford to quarrel with the two real masters of the Kou Mansion for the sake of this maid.

The reason why she took this maid with her was because she saw that this maid was clever, and she could help her control those newly accepted concubines on weekdays, and the maid could help her say many things that were inconvenient for her to say.

She came forward to defend the maid, firstly, to maintain her image in the hearts of the servants and maids, and secondly, to test it.

If she can ask for some face, her status in the Kou Mansion will also rise in the future.

If you don't get a little face, it doesn't matter.

The reason why she was so embarrassed and annoyed was because of what Kou Zhong called her.

Little lady.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the little lady referred to a young woman who was married, as well as a concubine.

There is a scolding saying, called 'raised by a little lady', in which the little lady refers to the concubine and stepmother.

Kou Zhong called her a little lady, which showed that in Kou Zhong's heart, she was still a concubine.

Even though Kouli had straightened her......

Kou Zhong's attitude largely represents the attitude of Kou Zhun and Kou Ji.

How could she not be ashamed?

How can you not be annoyed?

But no matter how embarrassed and annoyed she is, there is nothing she can do.

Kou Zhong stretched out his hand and grabbed the maid who was hiding behind Qiao's family.

The maid shouted for help, but Qiao's ignored it.

Just staring at Kou Ji with a dark face.

Qiao Shi stared at Kou Ji, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm your aunt anyway......"

Kou Ji stared at her and said calmly, "Yes...... It's just my aunt ......."

Qiao's face was ugly again.

Kou Ji was telling her that whether she was corrected by Kou Li or not, in Kou Ji's heart, she had always been an aunt, and she would never be a mother.

Seeing Qiao's ugly face staring at him, Kou Ji was silent, and asked, "What is the important thing you are looking for me?" ”

After Kou Ji's reminder, Qiao Shi remembered the purpose of her trip, and she barely squeezed out a smile.

"When you got married, you were in such a hurry that neither your father nor I could make it back. Now that I'm back home, I naturally want to meet your new couple. ”

Kou Ji had already anticipated the purpose of Qiao's trip, and he also thought about excuses, so after Qiao's mouth spoke, he said indifferently: "Yan'er has occasionally felt cold in the past few days, and it is inconvenient to see people. If I give you sickness, it will not be beautiful.

In a few days, when Yan'er's condition recovers, I will naturally take her home. ”

Kou Ji's words of resignation, how could Qiao Shi not hear it.

It's just that Kou Ji didn't want to go back to the house, and she couldn't force it, so she could only laugh and say, "Then wait for Yan'er's condition to get better...... Goodbye......"

Kou Ji nodded, and turned to leave.

"Wait......"

Qiao Shi hurriedly called out to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, paused, slowly turned around, and said unexpectedly: "Anything else?" ”

Qiao Shi stood in place, gritted his teeth, hesitated for a long time, and said, "There is one more thing that I think I should tell you." ”

"Oh?"

Judging from Qiao's expression, Kou Ji probably mentioned what she mentioned next was more important than what she had just said.

Qiao Shi pinched the handkerchief in his hand and hesitated: "This year...... The house has been added to ......"

The more Qiao Shi spoke, the more his voice thought, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Kou Ji, observing Kou Ji's expression.

"Timding?"

Kou Ji was stunned again.

He is not a mallet, how can he not understand the meaning of these two words.

After a year of hard work, he has an extra brother, or sister.

The half-sibling kind.

For such a big thing, he hasn't received a little wind about it so far.

It seems that Kou Li deliberately concealed this matter, and planned to tell him again on the occasion of the New Year's Festival.

Kou Ji glanced at Qiao Shi and asked expressionlessly, "How many bites?" ”

Seeing that Kou Ji's face could not see joy and anger, Qiao Shi was a little flustered in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Two girls...... A man ......"

According to the patriarchal thinking of the ancients, Qiao should have put boys in front of her, but she did the opposite.

What kind of calculation is in his heart, Kou Ji knows it.

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes, stared at Qiao Shi and said, "Are you afraid that I will hurt him?" ”

The panic in Qiao's heart instantly appeared on her face, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No...... There is no ......"

Kou Ji looked at her expression and muttered, "You gave birth to the boy, right?" ”

In Kou Ji's impression, although Qiao's hands were repeatedly deflated, he rarely showed a panicked look.

Now she showed a flustered look in order to explain to Kou Ji about the addition of Ding in the house, which means that she also contributed to the addition of Ding in the house.

And most likely the most important one...... Male.

When Qiao Shi heard Kou Ji's words, his whole body trembled, and his mouth trembled: "Yes......"

Kou Ji pondered for a while and said, "Since you gave birth to it, then stay by your side and raise it well." ”

Qiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Kou Ji's words have already shown his attitude towards the younger brother he has never met.

Not disgusted, but not loved either.

"As for his identity, that's up to my grandfather to decide......"

Qiao Shi just let out a sigh of relaxation, and instantly lifted it up again.

It stands to reason that Qiao's son to Kou Li was born after Kou Li succeeded Kou Zhun.

When entering the family tree, it will naturally be written under Kou Zhun's name.

It's just that Kou Zhun doesn't allow him to have an extra grandson under his name, so it depends on Kou Zhun's mind.

If Kou Zhun doesn't allow it, then even if Kou Ji's cheap brother has been written in the family tree and written in Kou Zhun's name, I'm afraid it won't be stable.

"Da Lang ......"

Qiao Shi hurriedly spoke.

Seeing that Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, he immediately realized that Kou Ji didn't seem to like this title, and hurriedly changed his title: "Ji'er, can you help Chuan'er say something good......

Hearing Qiao's words, Kou Ji probably understood her thoughts.

Qiao's was probably afraid that Kou Zhun would not like to have an extra grandson under his name, so he would kick her son out of his name.

With Kou Zhun's status, if he kicked Qiao's son out of his name, then Qiao's son would basically be kicked out of the Kou family's genealogy.

At that time, her son, whether he is a clerk or a farmer, will be looked down upon.

Kou Ji looked at Qiao Shi with a strange expression and said, "I don't understand, how did you come up with such thoughts. ”

Qiao Shi said in a low voice: "I saw those dignitaries and dignitaries in Bianjing City......

"Needless to say......"

Before Qiao could finish her sentence, Kou Ji interrupted her.

It is not uncommon for dignitaries and dignitaries in Bianjing City to ignore family affection in order to compete for fame and profit.

Qiao's family has entered Beijing three times, and he has heard a lot of things from the mouths of those wealthy concubines who disregard family affection.

So it fell on her, and she naturally had to think in this direction.

What's more, she has also seen Kou Ji's methods of dealing with Hu Qing.

Naturally, I feel that Kou Ji is a ruthless person.

After all, since Hu Qing entered the prison of the Criminal Department, it was as if he had evaporated from the world, and no one had ever seen him again.

If it weren't for him, he would write a letter to his mother every three months to prove that he was still alive.

Qiao Shi and the others probably have to wonder if Kou Ji had secretly killed Hu Qing.

Kou Ji stared at Qiao's and said lightly: "No matter what, your child is the blood of the Kou family, the people of the Kou family, and no one will hurt him." You don't need to think of me and my grandfather so ruthlessly.

Now that he has entered the family tree, he is a member of my Kou clan. ”

Qiao Shi heard Kou Ji's words and said in disbelief: "Really...... It's true? ”

Kou Ji didn't explain too much, and said indifferently: "If you don't believe it, I won't say it." ”

With Kou Ji's current status, he can't speak to Qiao's family.

Qiao's son, who is not in Kou Zhun's name, actually doesn't have much influence on him.

He didn't care about things like Qiao's son competing with him for family property when he grew up.

Because when Qiao's son grows up, I'm afraid he won't even have the qualifications to speak loudly to him.

Seeing that Kou Ji didn't seem to be lying, Qiao's heart relaxed a lot.

I was about to talk to Ko Ji more.

saw Kou Ji flick his sleeves and leave in front of her.

Qiao Shi opened his mouth and didn't say a word.

Qiao's complicated expression climbed into the carriage and returned to Bianjing City.

Kou Ji returned to the small courtyard where he lived in Ruishengzhuang.

Standing at the gate of the small courtyard, Kou Ji looked back at Bianjing City.

There are some thoughts in mind.

He felt that he needed to talk to his cheap father, Kouli.

A few days after that.

Kou Ji has been staying outside Bianjing City.

It wasn't until Kou Zhun sent someone to summon him back to the house that he took Xiang Yan back to the house.

Kou Mansion is deserted on weekdays.

This year's New Year is particularly lively.

As soon as Kou Ji entered the mansion, he saw his cheap father Kou Li, wearing silk and satin, and wandering around the mansion with a big belly.

When he saw the clever maids and servants saluting him, he couldn't help but take out copper coins from his cuffs and reward them.

The maids and servants were naturally happy when they took the reward, and the atmosphere in the house became much more lively.

As soon as Kou Ji led Xiang Yan into the mansion, he saw Kou Li's move to reward money.

Xiang Yan stared at Kou Li in surprise, and looked back at Kou Ji in embarrassment, "This is ...... Father? ”

Kou Li's style is like a nouveau riche.

On weekdays, Xiang Yan doesn't bother to take a look at this kind of person.

Now that her father-in-law is like this, Xiang Yan really doesn't know how to deal with it.

Kou Ji resisted the urge to turn Kou Li into a spiritual position, and said to Xiang Yan lightly: "Don't see it...... We went home from the back door......"

Xiang Yan nodded decisively and agreed with Kou Ji's statement.

The two of them turned around, and the sharp-eyed Kou Li saw them.

Kou Li shouted, "Ji'er, I haven't come to see Father yet." ”

Kou Ji barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and stepped forward with Xiang Yan.

"The child has seen his father's ......"

Kou Ji arrived in front of Kou Li and bowed.

Xiang Yan followed and said softly: "My daughter-in-law has seen my father-in-law......

Kou Li glanced at Xiang Yan, showing a slightly satisfied look, then looked at Kou Ji and said with a straight face: "Marriage is such a big thing, why don't you wait for your father to enter Beijing before making a decision?"

Do you still have me as a father in your eyes? ”

Kou Ji hung his head, rolled his eyes, and said indifferently: "Or...... Ask your grandfather before answering your question? ”

Kou Li's face turned red and said, "That'...... Not really...... If there is a major event in the future, you must discuss it with your father, and your father can help you check it. ”

Kou Li also wanted to rely on himself to be promoted, to play prestige in front of Kou Ji, and to find out what it was like to be a father.

However, Kou Ji moved out of Kou Zhun, and he immediately coaxed.

"The child wrote down ......"

"Speaking of which, your grandfather's vision is indeed clever, and he helped you find a good wife's room, and you two will remember it in the future, and you must ......"

“……”

Kou Li gave Kou Ji a lot of truths in a long speech.

After I got tired of talking, a smile appeared on my face.

He took out two pieces of gold cakes from his arms and handed them to Kou Ji and Xiang Yan.
