Ji Chenwei saw that Bai Qiuluo agreed to him as an intermediary to reconcile, so he bowed his head slightly and called his personal servant over: "Ah Zhan, go to the restaurant and invite Cao Shilang from the Ministry of Engineering and his only son Cao Gongzi to come over." ”

"Yes, the minion will go." The little guy known as Ah Zhan hurriedly responded when he heard this, and then turned around and left in a hurry.

And Ji Chenwei saw him leave, so he turned around and said to the many male guests and female guests who came behind him: "All the distinguished guests came to participate in Ji's grandmother's birthday banquet today, which really made Ji's heart happy. Now Ji still has some things to deal with, you might as well go to the restaurant with the people of the house to have a banquet first, the auspicious time is coming, and the banquet will start immediately. ”

Although Ji Chenwei didn't have much smile on his face, the slightly hooked corners of his lips softened the coldness on his face, and he was polite and polite when he spoke, which made people not notice the slightest slackness, so although everyone regretted that they couldn't stay and continue to watch the play, they were embarrassed to stay in the house when the master's family had ordered people to be expelled.

"Ji Zhuangyuan is polite, it should be, it should be, hehe."

"It's almost time for this feast, so let's move."

……

Everyone expressed their meaning every word, and they were very cooperative.

"Thank you very much, Ji Mou sent it." Ji Chenwei saluted.

At this time, many guests left the Ji Mansion one after another under the leadership of the subordinates and headed towards the restaurant not far away.

To put it mildly, in fact, Ji Fu is not very rich, originally Ji Chenwei's father was in business when he was alive, so the family was okay, but later Ji Chenwei's father encountered a mountain bandit robbery when he was running a business, and unfortunately died, leaving Ji Chenwei, his mother and grandmother to rely on each other.

Ji Chenwei was just a child less than ten years old at that time, with outstanding talent and a good seedling for reading.

After his grandmother and his mother consulted, they wholeheartedly used all the money in the family to support his education.

But even so, after many years of support, Ji Fu is also destitute, and there is no longer any wealth.

Ji Chenwei competed for himself, and after he was a weak crown, he worked and studied part-time, supporting his family while studying.

Even so, it did not weaken his achievements and broke his literati bones.

Later, Ji Chenwei unexpectedly fell in love with the current Mrs. Ji Qu Ruping, Qu Ruping is the daughter of Qu Zhantian, the governor of Jiangnan, and she insisted on marrying him despite the opposition of her family.

Qu Zhantian is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, seeing that the two children do have feelings, and Ji Chenwei is also a person who can bear hardships and stand hard work, he believes that Ji Chenwei's future will be extraordinary, so he agreed to let the two get married.

After getting married, with the help of Qu Zhantian, the Ji family's life was better.

It's just that Ji Chenwei is also a stubborn character, he refuses to accept Qu Zhantian's kindness, and has always relied on his true talent and ability, and finally successfully won the new champion in this year's imperial examination.

Then, he used his savings for many years to buy this small courtyard and settle down, and brought the old people in the family to his side to support, and this is why the Ji Mansion is not big, and even the guests have to go to the restaurant for banquets.

Everyone knew a little bit about the situation of the Ji family, so there was no special reaction.

After the guests left, only Mother Ji, Mrs. Ji, Ji Chenwei, Bai Qiuluo, An Yue'er, Mrs. Cao and her personal maid were left in the courtyard.

"Chen Wei, why do you want to protect this little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky? Ru Ping said that she was a doctor, did you believe it? You are not afraid of losing the face of our Ji family! Ji Mu pulled Ji Chenwei to the side and reprimanded him in a low voice.

"You have to know that our Ji family is different from the past, and with the threshold of our family, not everyone can come." Ji Mu said disdainfully.

Ji Chenwei frowned slightly when he heard this, a little displeased.

Originally, Ji Chenwei was admitted to the new top of the department, and it was a great joy to enter the court as an official, but since bringing Ji's mother, grandmother and Ru Ping's mother and daughter to the capital, Ji Chenwei found that it was not like that.

Maybe it's because she thinks that Ji Chenwei is out of luck, so the current Ji Mu's vision is quite high, and her attitude towards others is also based on her identity and status, which really gives Ji Chenwei a headache.

"Mother, I believe Ru'er, she won't lie to me." Ji Chenwei said affirmatively, and then said: "Mother, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this capital city, although I am the champion of the new department, but in this capital is a petty official who cannot be on the stage, you should be low-key in the future, and it is inevitable that when you make mistakes, your son's foundation is not stable, you are my closest family, everything you do represents your son's attitude and position, your way of doing things will only make your son's situation difficult, do you understand?" ”

Ji Chenwei had wanted to talk to Ji Mu for a long time, but he couldn't find a chance, and now that he finally had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to explain the matter.

Ji Mu was originally a little unhappy when she heard this, but when she heard Ji Chenwei say that her actions and attitude would have an impact on his career, she was immediately anxious.

She hurriedly said: "Okay, Chenwei, don't worry, my mother must be careful in the future, and she will definitely not cause you trouble." Ji Mu said.

In fact, Ji's mother is a childish woman from a small family, she has no vision, and she doesn't understand any big truths, she only knows that all the hopes in her life are focused on her son Ji Chenwei, so she will not do anything that may be unfavorable to Ji Chenwei.

Her eyes fell on Mrs. Ji's body, and Ji's mother said again: "But Chen Wei, today's incident is not caused by Niang, but Ru Ping is the one who causes the chaos." That's a good thing your baby lady did, and if she hadn't invited that person to come, things wouldn't have turned out the way they are. ”

Ji Chenwei said lightly: "Ru'er can't be blamed for this matter. She invited the white girl to come to see her grandmother, she was kind, how could she be harsh? And it's not the white girl's fault that this matter, it's not her fault, how can she blame it? ”

Seeing that he was defending Mrs. Ji every word, Ji's mother immediately said with displeasure: "Okay, now that you have grown up and have an idea, you don't listen to your mother's words, you really married your daughter-in-law and forgot your mother." If you listen to her and believe her, you won't believe your mother, will you? ”

Ji Chenwei was helpless when he heard this, so he could only say: "Mother, don't say that......"

"Okay, don't talk, I don't want to listen, wait for someone to come, and see how this matter is handled today." Ji Mu directly interrupted Ji Chenwei's words.

Ji Chenwei's face was helpless, but he couldn't talk to her again.

On the other side, Ah Zhan came to the restaurant and found Cao Zhuyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and his only son Cao Shaofang, who had already entered the table first.

"Lord Cao, Master Cao, can you take a step to speak? My son-in-law has something to say to the two of you. Ah Zhan came to the two of them, bowed down and asked.

The two were slightly stunned when they heard this, but Cao Zhuyuan said, "Okay, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he got up first and followed Ah Zhan outward.

The two came to the corner, and Ah Zhan said: "Lord Cao, there was a small conflict at the female guest in the backyard just now, Mrs. Cao had a conflict with a girl, and the two sides also moved, my son-in-law means that Mrs. today is going to the house for a banquet, and now that this has happened, he is uneasy, so he wants to be this middleman, solve this matter, and talk about it clearly." ”

"She's causing trouble again?" Cao Zhuyuan frowned and spoke, his voice a little impatient.

A tone full of disgust makes it easy to feel Cao Zhuyuan's dislike of Mrs. Cao.

"Still doing it? How is my mother now? Compared with Cao Zhuyuan's dislike, Cao Shaofang was concerned.

Ah Zhan naturally didn't dare to say that Mrs. Cao was beaten, so Cao Shaofang had to be mad, he couldn't resist the anger of a son-in-law.

So Ah Zhan smiled lightly and said, "What is the specific, Lord Cao and Gongzi Cao will know after watching it in the past." ”

"Let's go." Cao Zhuyuan said in a deep voice.

Although he dislikes Mrs. Cao very much, and dislikes her for causing trouble for him, but now he is outside, and it is above the mansion of the new champion, if she is bullied, and he, the husband, does not care, then I am afraid that the entire Cao Mansion will be looked down upon in the future.

With Cao Zhuyuan's opening, Ah Zhan returned to Ji Mansion with the father and son.

As soon as they entered the backyard, the two saw Mrs. Cao standing in the hall.

Her slap marks were clear, and her red and swollen face made the two of them suddenly angry.

Cao Zhuyuan felt ashamed, but Cao Shaofang was really worried.

Cao Shaofang couldn't bear it anymore, rushed up, came to Mrs. Cao's side and said, "Mother, how are you?" Who is so presumptuous and bold that he dares to hit you! Who is it? Get out! ”

Mrs. Cao had tears in her eyes, but she couldn't speak and couldn't move because she was pointed.

"It's me." Bai Qiuluo responded lightly.

Cao Shaofang looked back at Bai Qiuluo, "Why did you beat my mother?" ”

As he spoke, he carefully looked at Bai Qiuluo, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, and finally exclaimed, "You...... It's you! ”

"Do you recognize me?" Bai Qiuluo asked with some curiosity.

Because of Cao Shaofang's gaffe, after Bai Qiuluo looked carefully, he also recognized Cao Shaofang as the one who played hooligan on her that day.

"It turned out to be you." After Bai Qiuluo looked at it clearly, he smiled lazily and said: "The ancient language is crooked, the ancients did not deceive me, and after seeing your mother and son, I understand the true meaning of these words." ”

As soon as Ji Chenwei heard this, he understood that it was not good.

He originally wanted to be an intermediary to mediate the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides, but Bai Qiuluo's words clearly meant that she not only had conflicts with Mrs. Cao, but also with Cao Shaofang.

For a while, Rao is Ji Chenwei was also a little helpless.

What's going on, how can mother and son not deal with the same person!

What do you mean by that? You bullied my mother and said that we were not good, do you know that she is my mother, so you deliberately retaliate against me? Cao Shaofang said loudly at Bai Qiuluo.

Bai Qiuluo smiled coldly and said, "Then you really look up to me, and I just found out that you are mother and son." ”
