Season House.

Ji's mother was very happy to see her son come back, and ordered the maid to make a table of good dishes.

Since Ji's full authority was handed over to Ji Zhixiu, Old Man Ji has never interfered in the company's affairs again.

Except for Ji Zhixiu, the Ji family is all idlers.

The old man is old, and Ji Zhixiu also wants him to nourish his body and scatter his mind everywhere, so that he will not work too hard.

Seeing his grandson come back, the old man smiled, and the wrinkles at the end of his eyes deepened, "Xiu'er." ”

"I'm here, Grandpa."

"Have you been busy lately? You have to deal with things at work, and you can't be too sloppy in your life. Pay attention to your body. The old man patted him on the shoulder and told him to sit down.

Ji Zhixiu sat on the sofa, turned his wrist and poured a cup of tea and handed it to him with both hands, "Thank you grandpa for your concern, the company has been okay recently, not too busy." ”

The older Xiu'er is, the more reluctant she is to share her inner thoughts with others. The old man sighed in his heart and took a shallow sip of tea: "Recently, I know that you have bothered again." ”

"She is my sister, and I should take care of her more." Ji Zhixiu's face was blank, and he turned his head and said, "What about her?" ”

"Upstairs. Xiu'er, Zhilan's marriage is in front, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for you. I will not interfere with your future wife, but the other party must be worthy of the name of our Mrs. Ji. Do you understand? ”

Although the old man has passed the age of sixties, the momentum of the superior has not diminished for many years.

Ji Zhixiu's slender fingers paused, he raised his eyes, his gaze met the old man's gaze, and the two were silent for a long time. After a long time, Ji Zhi repaired his head, "I understand, grandpa." ”

The old man smiled, "It's good that you understand." Okay, you go to Zhilan. ”

Ji Zhixiu got up, "Okay." ”

He went upstairs and knocked on Ji Zhilan's door, Ji Zhilan was putting on makeup, and she had made an appointment with a few friends at night.

The days of returning to be single and belonging to the eldest lady of the Ji family are too happy, and she is free to play with whomever she wants. There is no nasty mother-in-law's fingering, and there is no Jiang Cheng's crooked twitter in his ears.

She dropped her makeup brush and turned her head, "Mom, I said I wouldn't eat at home at night." ”

"It's me."

Ji Zhilan opened the door, "Brother." ”

"I have something to tell you."

Ji Zhilan stepped sideways, "It's just right, I also have something I want to tell you." Come in first. ”

"No, what do you want to say?" Ji Zhixiu asked.

Ji Zhilan suddenly twisted, Ji Zhixiu raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Brother...... Can you give me Xiang Long? She looked up, a little hope in her eyes.

"I know that Xiang Long is your right-hand man, but there are so many people under you, and there is no shortage of him. Wouldn't it be better to have Xiang Long by my side to protect me? ”

Ji Zhixiu didn't speak.

Ji Zhilan was worried in his heart, his brother didn't think he would refuse, right......? But his straight face is really scary.

"Brother...... What do you say? ”

Ji Zhilan narrowed his narrow eyes and looked at her, "What about Xiang Longren?" ”

"He went out," Ji Zhilan bit his lip, "I asked him to go out and buy things for me." ”

"I'll talk about it when he comes back."

I didn't agree or refuse this, but there was still hope, she nodded, "Okay." ”

Ji Zhilan postponed the evening party, and she had to wait for Xiang Long to come back.

Seeing that Ji Zhixiu hadn't gone back after eating, Ji's mother said with joy on her face: "Are you staying at home to sleep tonight?" The rooms are all cleaned for you. ”

Ji Zhixiu shook his head, "No, Mom." I'm waiting for Xiang Long. ”

Ji Muqi said: "Xiang Long is your person, just let him find you, you need to wait for him?" ”

Ji Zhixiu seemed to smile, "Zhilan asked me to give Xiang Long to him." ”

Ji Mu frowned and looked at Ji Zhilan, "What are you doing?" ”

Ji Zhixiu's subordinates are people he trained single-handedly, and they are by no means ordinary people.

Ji Zhilan grabbed Ji's mother's arm, cleared his throat, and said, "Mom, you see that in my recent days, Xiang Long has been protecting me and taking care of me. He is honest and upright, and he is very skilled. I want him to marry me, how about it? You see that your daughter doesn't ask for any wealthy children now, she just wants to find a normal person to live a good life. ”

"If I did something to Miss that caused Miss to misunderstand, please forgive me. Xiang Long was ordered to protect Miss, and he had no other intentions. I don't dare to climb the eldest lady, the eldest lady is very talented, and she will definitely be accompanied by a good person in the future. ”

As soon as Xiang Long entered the door, he heard these words. Hurriedly put down his things and bent over.

He is not a stupid person, usually taciturn but too lazy to speak. Now that I have said so many words in one breath, it can be seen that I really don't want to.

Ji Zhilan's face turned pale, this naked refusal, invisibly hit her face with hot pain.

Ji Zhixiu stared at her: "You saw it?" I let Xiang Long choose it himself. ”

"Xiang Long! With me, you are not wronged! Ji Zhilan was furious.

Xiang Long took a step back, "Of course I'm not wronged to be with Miss, it's just that I'm not worthy." ”

"I said you deserve it, you deserve it."

Ji's mother glanced at Ji Zhilan and called her, "Zhilan." ”

Ji Zhilan was silent, still unconvinced.

Ji Zhixiu got up, "I'll go back, and I'll take Xiang Long with me." ”

Xiang Long hurriedly followed behind him.

Ji Zhilan watched the two walk away, she pouted and complained, "Mom! Why didn't you just say a few words for me? ”

"Can't you see if people don't want to?"

"I know, so what? Marry me and don't wronged him! ”

Ji Mu nodded her head, "You." There are so many good men, what are you staring at your brother's people. ”

"I like Xiang Longbei, he protects me, and I feel safe."

"It's the same with another person."

"I don't care, I just want him."

"Then think about it." Ji's mother couldn't make sense with her, so she took a cup of health flower tea and went upstairs.

……

On the way back, Xiang Long said, "Thank you, Mr. Ji." ”

Ji Zhixiu had a smile in his eyes, "Thank me for what?" ”

Xiang Long grinned, "I know that Mr. Ji doesn't want to keep me by Miss's side." ”

"You're smart." His tone was inaudible a compliment.

"After all, his subordinates have followed Mr. Ji for so many years."

Xiang Long began to receive training at the age of ten, and it was Ji Zhixiu who bought him when he received orders on the road, and it was Ji Zhixiu who settled his family for him so that he had no worries.

"You don't like Ji Zhilan, of course I won't wronged you."

Xiang Long's heart warmed, and he said sincerely: "I only want to follow Mr. Ji." ”

"Go back and pack up, and leave for Jiangnan tomorrow."

"Yes."

When Ji Zhixiu arrived home, Jiang Mian had already packed his luggage. She also greeted Sister Ning, so that Sister Ning would not find her.

Seeing Ji Zhixiu coming back, she pounced and smiled flatteringly.

Ji Zhixiu knew in his heart, lowered his head and pinched her chin, "Didn't you drink the medicine?" ”

It's boring to be seen through at a glance.

Ji Zhixiu ordered people to take hot medicine, turned his head and dragged the little girl into his arms, "Is it good to be obedient, sleep." ”

"I drink, I drink."

Jiang Mian eats soft and not hard, Ji Zhixiu is so gentle and kind to her, she can't refuse.

When someone brought it up, she took a sip of the bowl and took two more dates.

Ji Zhixiu teased, "I thought you wouldn't be able to drink bitterly this time, and I was planning to help you." He focused on the word "help".

Jiang Mian snorted softly, "I won't." ”

……

Jiang Mian's hometown is precisely said to be in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, with long streets and ancient alleys in the town, which is quite ancient.

There is an ancient temple nearby, and the incense is quite strong. Whenever there is a market, people come and go on the broken bridge, and it is the most lively. Most of the time, it's as quiet as smoke.

This tranquility contrasts sharply with the hustle and bustle of the city.

Only a few years ago, the government had plans to expropriate and transform it into a commercial street.

Before this plan was implemented, it was strangled in the cradle. After Ji Zhixiu learned about it, he spent a lot of money to withhold the renovation plan, and promised the government that he would provide the government with all the costs of related planning. Only then did this tranquility be preserved.

Of course, only he knew about it. He didn't want Jiang Mian to lose the good memories he shared with his grandmother and him.

Returning to this place again, Jiang Mian felt like a world away.

She walked slowly on the broken bridge, the remnant sun was like blood, and the smoke curled from the people on the opposite shore, quiet and peaceful.

Ji Zhixiu held her hand, and the two stood side by side.

"It's beautiful, Jiangnan is so delicate, and it deserves its name." He had the idea of staying here for a long time.

Jiang Mian tilted his head, "We can come here to retire in the future." ”

"Retirement", he chewed on the word carefully, and the corners of his lips hooked up a smile, "Okay." ”

"Hey, is that a girl from the Jiang family?" There was a woman washing clothes by the river, who straightened up and shouted.

Jiang Mian's eyes lit up when she heard the voice, and she ran to the bridge in a few steps, "But the aunt of the Hu family?" ”

Aunt Hu smiled and bent her eyes, and walked the end of the wooden basin to the bridge: "It's me, you just sleep, right?" It's been a long time since I've seen each other, and I'm getting worse and worse. Pretty. ”

She praises people sincerely, but does not give people a sense of praise.

The corners of Jiang Mian's lips curled, and he was happy in his heart, "Aunt Hu, I didn't expect to see the old man just after I came back, it's so good." ”

When she was a child, Aunt Hu's home lived next to her and her grandmother's house, which was so close that she often went to the house to eat.

Aunt Hu looked at the man beside her, Ji Zhixiu's presence was impossible to ignore.

She looked up: "Is this bringing her husband back to worship her ancestors?" ”

Jiang Mian turned his head to look at Ji Zhixiu, the man looked calm and did not refute.

She laughed, "yes." Come back and see Grandma. ”

Speaking of the Jiang family's aunt, Aunt Hu sighed lowly, for fear of making the little girl sad, she didn't mention it again. Then he said: "Since you are back, you must go to my house for a meal at noon, go, take your husband, and go home with your aunt." ”

"Eh, auntie, no need, I'll just go back and make some by myself."

Aunt Hu disagreed, "You don't live in your house, how can you use pots and pans?" If you don't go to the eldest mother's house, you are to see the eldest mother, you little girl, it hurts my heart. ”

Jiang Mian was helpless and turned his head to look at Ji Zhixiu.

But I heard the man's voice with some warmth, "Then it's troublesome Aunt Hu." ”

He speaks in a round manner, has a handsome and gentle face, and is polite in his writing.

Aunt Hu's heart was captured by this young man at once, and she didn't hold a wooden basin in her hand, otherwise she would have to pat this young man.

Even though he hasn't been back for a long time, he remembers clearly where this road turns.

Several people got off the bridge and walked to Hu's house.
