Chapter 78: The Ji Family (I)
Ji Jingyun's home is on a fairly lively street, and behind the shops on the street is their residence.
On the second day of the first lunar month, some of the shops on the street have been opened, and the streets are full of people, although there are fewer shops than usual, but they are much more lively than usual, but few soldiers have the leisure time and are willing to go out shopping.
Wen Ming stood in front of a shop called "Bafang Shop" and looked at the shop opened by Ji Jingyun's mother, this store is indeed a small shop, the faΓ§ade is less than four meters wide, and most stores cannot be compared, but the goods placed in it are all chic and rare small objects that are rare in Red Maple City, these small objects are obviously quite popular with women, especially girls and children, but there are nearly twenty customers in the small store at the moment.
Wen Ming motioned for the small stone with a backpack next to him to wait outside, and he walked to the store by himself.
Although the main customers of this store are women and children, there are also a small number of male customers, and the goods in it are really good, not too precious and rare, whether it is to collect and fiddle with it or to send couples, it is not surprising that Wen Ming came in, but it attracted several girls to peek at him frequently.
Wen Ming was a little uncomfortable, and he was still a little complacent in his heart, it seemed that his charm was not shallow.
He walked towards a woman who was obviously the shopkeeper, this woman was Ji Jingyun's mother, Ji's mother still looked very young and beautiful, and Ji Jingyun was very upright, the biggest difference between her and her daughter was that her eyebrows and eyes were much softer, not as awe-inspiring and proud as Ji Jingyun.
Ji Mu was introducing a few delicate gadgets in front of her to the two girls at the moment, Wen Ming walked up to her and said, "Cough, Auntie, can you ask a question?"
After Ji Mu looked at him, his eyes gestured to a no-man's corner inside.
Ji Mu looked at him twice, apologized to the two girls, and walked a few steps to the corner.
Wen Ming followed to the corner and whispered: "Hello Auntie, my name is Wen Ming, I don't know if you know, I just want to ask you if Ji Jingyun is at home?"
Many of the customers who came to the store knew that there was a genius phoenix in Red Maple City, but few people knew that this was her shop, Wen Ming wanted to talk to Ji Mu in the corner, but he didn't want to spread throughout Red Maple City in a few days that he came to find Ji Jingyun, if he spoke directly in front of the two girls just now, it was likely that after a few days, he would not know what version of the love story between the two appeared.
Ji Mu looked very surprised, and looked at Wen Ming seriously, her eyes made Wen Ming extremely uncomfortable, and she felt that she didn't know how to put her hands and feet.
It took a long time before Ji Mu smiled and nodded, and said, "It turns out that you are the star, the name of this star is really not wrong, and the eyes are really the same as the stars." After a pause, he said: "Jingyun is inside, her father is rarely at home, chatting with her father and her brother, I want to greet guests here, you can go in by yourself." β
Wen Ming nodded quickly when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, Auntie!" and walked to the back, and for a short time he felt more tired than having fought fiercely.
There was a small courtyard behind the shop, and there was a room on each of the other three sides of the courtyard, and there were three people talking and laughing in the courtyard at the moment.
Seeing someone come in, the three of them all looked over, and the middle-aged man who was obviously Ji's father glanced at Wen Ming and looked at his daughter with inquiring eyes.
Ji Jingyun also looked surprised, and a little embarrassed, and said to his father: "He is Wen Ming, the one of the Wen family Xingchen." Then he said to his younger brother in a commanding tone: "Xiaofei, give up your seat, and go and move another chair yourself!"
Her younger brother pouted, seemingly a little reluctant, but after being glared at by Ji Jingyun, he obediently went in and moved the chair.
Ji's father should have dark skin because of his perennial running business, but he has a generous face and a gentle and elegant smile, and he doesn't look like a shrewd runner at all.
He pulled Ji Jingyun to stand up, originally his father was a noble daughter, and he had a genius warrior daughter, and he naturally wouldn't stand up if he was a generation higher than Wen Ming, but his prudence and personal cultivation as a businessman still made him stand up and show politeness, after all, Wen Ming is not an ordinary person, but a genius like his daughter, and he is the eldest young master of the Wen family.
Wen Ming had a good impression of Father Ji at first sight, and at this moment, his opinion of him doubled again, and he greeted him very respectfully.
Father Ji greeted with a smile: "Sit down and eat some melons and fruits." β
After sitting down with Wen Ming, he continued: "Red Maple City Xingchen, Chinese New Year's Eve champion, has only been cultivating for a few months, and it is even more powerful than my family Jingjun, amazing!" said and gave him a thumbs up.
Wen Ming smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle exaggerated, I haven't only cultivated for a few months, my grandfather began to lay a foundation for me when I was a child, and I have been cultivating intermittently in the past few years, compared to the genius Ruo Jingyun who has the same resources as me, maybe it can be compared to the demon." β
In front of Father Ji, he didn't know how to call Ji Jingjun appropriately, so he simply learned to call the other party by name: "As for the Chinese New Year's Eve champion, if it weren't for the archer's points to be halved, the champion would be Jingjun's." β
Ji Jingyun rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything.
Father Ji smiled and shook his head: "It's not okay to have no cultivation resources at all, but it's not that the more resources you have, the more powerful you can become, otherwise the Su family doesn't know how many geniuses there are, how can you have first-class exercises and various other resources, and there hasn't been a genius comparable to you for many years?"
It can be seen that although he is not a warrior, he also has some understanding of the situation of cultivation, but this is normal, the businessmen who run the merchants are generally relatively well-informed, and there is no shortage of running businessmen who talk about various anecdotes about cultivation and the warrior world.
Father Ji continued: "It naturally makes sense to halve the points of archers on Chinese New Year's Eve, you don't have to be modest. β
At this time, Xiao Fei had already moved a chair out, and after sitting down, he looked Wen Ming up and down curiously, he was studying in the primary department of Hongfeng Academy, so he naturally knew that Wen Ming, a big celebrity in the academy, and because his sister was also one of the three geniuses, he knew more about Wen Ming's situation than other students.
Wen Ming smiled and admitted his genius, then took out a bottle of Body Forging Pill from his arms and handed it to Xiao Fei, saying, "Xiao Fei has already started cultivating, you can keep this bottle of Body Forging Pill and eat it after you feel that your body can withstand its medicinal power." β
As his identity, he didn't look good when he came to the door for the first time without some gifts, and he was embarrassed to send some ordinary fruits and vegetables, but if he wanted to give Ji's father and Ji's mother tens of thousands of items, he was afraid that they would think too much (although he did have the idea of making them think too much), so in the end, he still felt that it was simply enough to give Ji Jingyun's younger brother a bottle of Forging Body Pill, compared to other luxuries in life, it would not be too precious to be regarded as the most ordinary Forging Body Pill in terms of cultivation.
As for why he didn't send Bi Ling Elixir directly, it was because he was afraid that too many people would easily leak secrets.
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, he naturally knew the effect of the Forging Body Pill, there was a genius sister as an example, he also wanted to become a warrior, and he started cultivating early, and now he was about to take the Forging Body Pill, but with their family's conditions, it was impossible to take it every day, and these 10 Forging Body Pills were not too expensive but he liked them very much.
However, Xiaofei didn't take it right away, he asked his father and sister back and forth with his eyes.
