"Please let the little brother say goodbye, Lu Zheng'an of Hualong Town has come to pay a New Year's greeting to the old lady."

As soon as the man heard that Lu Zhengan was from Hualong Town, he thought that his old lady had lived in Hualong Town for more than two months, and immediately understood the identity of the other party. He bowed down and invited Lu Zhengan aside, and then ran to the inner courtyard with the hem of his clothes.

Just as Lu Zhengan was standing under the wheel of the carriage and talking to Song Huaishu in the carriage with the curtain raised, he saw a brightly dressed young man rushing out of it with a horsewhip. The little servant on the side hurriedly followed him, his face full of pleading.

However, the young man didn't buy it at all, raised his foot and kicked the little guy on his side aside, and when he was about to step out of the door, he saw the carriage parked on the side, and Lu Zheng'an standing next to the carriage, the other party immediately stopped. His long narrow eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "You are that cousin from Hualong Town?" ”

After that, Ji Yueqiao walked out of the door, glanced Lu Zhengan up and down, and then spoke again: "Didn't you come to the door for the New Year?" ”

Ji Yueqiao's words fell, and after Lu Zhengan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help laughing.

Ji Yueqiao was a little confused by Lu Zhengan's laughter, and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Naturally, I'm laughing at you."

Hearing Lu Zhengan's reply, Ji Yueqiao was angry. As soon as he heard Lu Zhengan's answer, he immediately shook the horsewhip in his hand and was about to pull it back towards Lu Zhengan.

However, Lu Zhengan would not get used to him, and at the moment when Ji Yueqiao threw the whip, he immediately grabbed his hand at close range, and used the advantage of height to slam into Ji Yueqiao, and when he retreated, he stretched out his legs to stop behind his feet, and Ji Yueqiao might as well lean back for a while.

However, after all, it was at the gate of the Ji family, and it was the New Year, Lu Zhengan just wanted him to be frightened, and he would not really be ruthless to him. When Ji Yueqiao fell backwards, Lu Zhengan reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

Ji Yueqiao is not very old, and his body is similar to Song Huaishu, and between Lu Zhengan's push and pull, Ji Yueqiao's body has already been unbalanced. The bridge of his tall nose hit Lu Zhengan's shoulder, and his tears were about to come out with a burst of soreness.

"You, you pariah, dare to do something to Young Master Ben, come here, take it for me!"

Just when Ji Yueqiao covered his nose and commanded his subordinates to make a move on Lu Zheng'an, he saw Ji Yuexian hurrying over with the hem of his clothes. After hearing Ji Yueqiao's words, Ji Yuexian said angrily with a calm face: "Who dare I think?!" ”

When Ji Yueqiao saw that his brother was coming, his expression was aggrieved and angry. "Second brother, this untouchable dares to beat me."

Ji Yuexian's originally dark face was like ink after hearing Ji Yueqiao's words. "I see that you are kneeling in the ancestral hall or too little, Zheng'an is your brother, how can you speak?!"

After reprimanding Ji Yueqiao, Ji Yuexian turned his head to look at Lu Zhengan, his eyes full of apology. "Zheng'an, I'm really sorry. Wait a minute, I will show up to my grandmother and let her discipline her well. ”

Lu Zhengan glanced at Ji Yueqiao, who was already blushing in anger, and ignored Ji Yuexian's words. turned around and came to the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Song Huaishu in the carriage: "Huaishu, get off with your daughter in your arms." ”

Song Huaishu sat in the carriage and heard the dispute outside, and he was very anxious. However, her daughter is too young after all, and although Song Huaishu is worried about Lu Zhengan, she doesn't dare to get out of the car rashly.

Hearing Lu Zhengan's voice today, Song Huaishu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and walked out of the carriage with Lu Xingyi, who had just been sleepy-eyed.

Lu Zhengan helped the father and daughter out of the carriage and let the handlebar help unload the salute in the carriage.

Ji Yueqiao had already looked down on Lu Zheng'an, but now he looked at the pile of worthless 'rags' brought by Lu Zheng'an on the ground, and suddenly sneered. "He also said that he didn't come to fight the autumn wind, so he gave this pile of things to his subordinates, and the subordinates were disgusted with shabby."

Ji Yuexian obviously didn't have much patience with this cousin, and after hearing him say this, he immediately turned his head to look at him and said in a deep voice: "If you can't speak, shut up!" If you dare to say one more word to me, believe it or not, I'll give you a discount on my legs?! ”

For Ji Yuexian's brother, Ji Yueqiao is still a little afraid. After hearing him say this, his eyes flashed and he didn't say anything, but when his eyes swept over Lu Zhengan's body, the expression on his face was not very friendly.

However, Lu Zhengan only dusted off the shoulder that had just been hit by Ji Yueqiao, and his eyes were full of contempt when he glanced at him, so angry that Ji Yueqiao's entire face turned a little white.

Song Huaishu noticed that there was something unusual in the atmosphere between the two, and reached out and pulled Lu Zhengan's sleeve. Lu Zhengan looked back at Song Huaishu and smiled comfortingly, and while taking Lu Xingyi into his arms, he also held Song Huaishu's hand.

The two followed Ji Yuexian and Ji Yueqiao a few meters behind, and as soon as they turned the corridor, they saw that Mrs. Ji and Mama Zhang were already waiting at the door of the inner courtyard with people.

The moment she saw Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu, Mrs. Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly walked forward a few steps with a cane.

"Ouch, I've finally got you here. I haven't seen each other for a few months, but our little girl has grown so big, let my great-grandmother hug her. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Ji threw the cane in her hand to Mama Zhang at her side, and stretched out her hands to Lu Xingyi.

However, although the little girl was not afraid of people, she looked at Mrs. Ji's outstretched hands, and with a wave of her fat little hand, she twisted her body and hugged Lu Zhengan's neck.

Looking at Lu Xingyi's movements, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help laughing. And Lu Xingyi, who didn't know why, looked at everyone's smiling faces, and couldn't help but grin and reveal two newly grown millet teeth.

After greeting the old lady for a few words, Mama Zhang bowed down to the side and reminded: "Old lady, Young Master Cousin and Young Master Song have been tired all the way with the little lady, so let's go into the house and talk." ”

Hearing Mama Zhang's reminder, Mrs. Ji remembered that a few people were still standing at the door. didn't care about holding Mama Zhang's hand, and hurriedly led these people to the house.

Looking at Mrs. Ji's attitude towards Lu Zhengan's family of three, Ji Yueqiao on the side felt very unbalanced, and couldn't help but snort coldly with her arms on the side.

Ji Yueqiao himself was out in a temper, it was good that he didn't make a sound, and as soon as he said it, Mrs. Ji immediately remembered Ji Yueqiao's angry runaway. Stopped and looked at Ji Yueqiao, who was humming angrily, snatched back the crutches from Mama Zhang's hand, and slashed his head and face towards Ji Yueqiao.

Everyone didn't expect Mrs. Ji to make a sudden move, and when they heard Ji Yueqiao's screams, they remembered to reach out and pull it. When Lu Zheng'an and Ji Yuexian helped Mrs. Ji to the side and didn't wait for them to speak, they heard Mrs. Ji say angrily: "Escort this little beast to the ancestral hall for me to kneel, and he is not allowed to come out half a step further without my permission!" ”

Chapter 100

Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu didn't expect that they were just going to be relatives, and they actually encountered this incident, and the husband and wife looked at each other with their children in their arms, and they didn't know whether to persuade them or not. However, Lu Xingyi was used to being teased at home, and thought that Mrs. Ji was teasing her by teaching Ji Yueqiao, so she immediately giggled.

Lu Xingyi was so happy, Mrs. Ji's attention was immediately attracted by the little girl, and the tense atmosphere in the room immediately disappeared.

Ji Yuexian, who was on the side, saw that the old lady was going to coax Lu Xingyi, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Yueqiao's sleeve, signaling him to take advantage of the old lady's good mood to quickly soften.

Although Ji Yueqiao was babbling, he was scared of the ancestral hall by Mrs. Ji during these days. After receiving a hint from his brother, he rubbed his aching shoulder, which was pumped by Mrs. Ji, and said, "Grandmother, my grandson is wrong, I won't dare to do it next time." ”

Hearing Ji Yueqiao admit her mistake, Mrs. Ji turned her head to look at this grandson who gave her a headache. Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard Ji Yuexian next to him persuade: "Grandmother, your old family has been looking forward to Zheng'an and Huaishu and their family of three coming to our house, and it is not good to be uncomfortable because Yueqiao provokes the two of them. Your old family has to discipline Yueqiao, and won't they have a lot of free time after they leave? I'll let him go now, don't you think? ”

How could Mrs. Ji not understand in her heart that Ji Yuexian was pleading for Ji Yueqiao, but after seeing the embarrassment on Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu's faces, she hesitated in her heart and finally sighed heavily and nodded her head in agreement.

"Okay, for the sake of Zheng'an and Huaishu's face today, I will spare him this time for the time being. After Zheng'an and Huaishu are gone, I will settle the ledger with you! ”

Mrs. Ji said, pointed at Ji Yueqiao with her fingers, and then beckoned Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu to sit down.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Ji also watched Lu Xingyi be born, and she hadn't seen her for a few months, and she had already thought about it in her heart. After she walked to Luohan's bedside, she hurriedly asked Mama Zhang to take Lu Xingyi into her arms and happily teased her.

Lu Xingyi was not very familiar with Mrs. Ji, but the little girl nestled in the old lady's arms did not prevent her from being interested in the emerald hairpin on Mrs. Ji's head.

I saw that she stretched out her chubby little hand and leaned over to reach the hairpin on the old lady's head, and at the same time made some meaningless noises in her mouth, as if she was discussing with the old lady.

Mrs. Ji smiled and raised her head to avoid Lu Xingyi's little hand, "Don't look at her young age, this little girl is quite powerful." Mama Zhang, go and bring the emerald sign in my box, so that our Xingyi can have fun. ”

As soon as he heard Mrs. Ji say this, Song Huaishu hurriedly got up to stop him. "Old lady, by all means. Xingyi she ......"

"Eh, it's just a play, and it can't be broken, don't worry." Mrs. Ji didn't wait for Song Huaishu to finish speaking, and immediately raised her hand to stop him.

Seeing this, Song Huaishu looked at Lu Zhengan with an embarrassed expression, and when he saw him sitting on the side and was silent, he couldn't help but reach out and pull his sleeve, wanting him to open his mouth to stop him.

"Sit down and get some rest." Lu Zhengan stretched out his hand and pulled Song Huaishu to his side, and after he sat down, he leaned over and whispered in Song Huaishu's ear: "Old lady, you are rare now, and it is useless to persuade you at this time. You still don't know what kind of character our girl is, and if you don't want to play for a while, you should lose your hand. ”

Hearing Lu Zheng'an say this, Song Huaishu was reluctantly relieved. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the inner room, Song Huaishu looked up and saw Mama Zhang carefully holding a rosewood box and walking out of it.

Mrs. Ji smiled and reached out to take it, took out a jade plaque from the box, and then put the rope of the jade plaque directly on Lu Xingyi's neck and stuffed the jade plaque into her hand.

Lu Xingyi looked at the jade plaque hanging on his chest, and raised his head to show a big smile to Mrs. Ji. The old lady touched her head and kept praising it.

Ji Yueqiao's eyes widened when Mrs. Ji took out the jade plaque from the box. Stretched out his hand and touched Ji Yuexian, who was on the side, and said, "Second brother, wasn't that jade plaque given by the concubine the year before last, grandmother, grandmother, she actually gave a little doll as a toy." ”

Hearing this, Ji Yuexian glanced at Ji Yueqiao, his eyes full of disgust. "What if you scare the child so loudly?! Besides, didn't grandmother say it, she just took it out for Xingyi girl to play with, and didn't say that she gave it to her, what are you making such a fuss about. ”

Looking at the white eyes of his brother, Ji Yueqiao pursed his mouth and didn't think of what to say for a long time. Just when I was pedaling outside the house, I remembered a sound of footsteps, and I saw Ji Yuanbao running in all the way with a bookbag on his back.

When he was about to enter the door, he saw that there were still guests in the house, and the little child straightened his messy clothes, and then walked into the room with square steps.

After saluting Mrs. Ji and the two uncles on the side, Ji Yuanbao turned his gaze to Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu. Looking at the two of them carefully, I always felt that the other party was a little familiar.

Seeing Ji Yuanbao frowning slightly and looking at them, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but smile and said, "Are my dried peaches delicious?" ”

As soon as Lu Zheng'an said this, Ji Yuanbao's eyes immediately lit up. "Oh, I said the two big brothers look so familiar."

As soon as she heard Ji Yuanbao's words, Mrs. Ji couldn't help but smile and corrected: "Yuanbao, they are your cousins, but they can't be called big brothers, big brothers." ”

When Ji Yuanbao heard the ancestor's words, his expression was a little confused, and he scratched his head. When his gaze turned to Lu Xingyi, who was also looking at him curiously, his eyes lit up again.

Walked quickly to the bed of the Arhat where Mrs. Ji was sitting, tilted his head to look at Lu Xingyi and said, "Ancestor, is this little doll from my cousin's family?" Can I play with her for a while? ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji smiled and nodded. "Absolutely."

After that, Mrs. Ji looked up at Lu Zheng'an and Song Huaishu, who were sitting with her, and arranged for the two brothers Ji Yuexian to say: "It's boring to sit with me, an old woman, Zheng'an and Huaishu come to our house for the first time, and you take them out for a walk." ”

As soon as Mrs. Ji's voice fell, Ji Yueqiao immediately stood up from the chair. However, seeing that none of the people present moved, Ji Yueqiao sat down again with a sneering expression.

Mrs. Ji glanced at Ji Yueqiao, turned her head to Song Huaishu and Lu Zheng'an, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, someone gave a pot of camellia, and now it is just right. You go to the conservatory and have a look, and if you like to take it with you when you leave, it will look good in your yard. As for the Xingyi girl, let her accompany my old lady first. Stay with me, you won't be at ease, will you? ”

"Whatever the old lady says, with your watch, we couldn't be more at ease."

Ji Yuexian waited for Lu Zhengan to finish speaking, and then walked out of the living room with the two of them, while Ji Yueqiao followed the three of them out of the living room with a frown.

To Lu Zheng'an's surprise, although the Ji family was in a detached position, the old mansion in Jiang'an Town was not very large. Within a quarter of an hour of coming out of the old lady's courtyard, the four of them arrived at the Ji family's conservatory.

Song Huaishu was most interested in these flowers and plants, and when he looked at the various flowers and plants in the greenhouse, he only felt that his eyes were a little insufficient.

Lu Zheng'an felt a little strange about the old lady's move to support them to the conservatory, and when he saw Ji Yuexian watching them stop talking, the doubts in his heart deepened.

"Young Master Ji, if you have something to say, just say it, you keep looking at us like this, I always feel that you seem to have some bad ideas in your heart."

Listening to Lu Zhengan's run, Ji Yuexian subconsciously opened his mouth and prepared to reply. However, thinking of his old wife's worries, Ji Yuexian could only endure it for the time being.

"Look at what you say, where do I have you said so dirty? But what you said was true, but I didn't think about how to speak for a while. ”

As soon as he heard Ji Yuexian say this, Song Huaishu and Ji Yueqiao, who were enjoying the flowers, couldn't help but look up at him.

Seeing this, Ji Yuexian simply broke the jar and said, "I know that your family has a lot of work to do in the spring, so I want to send you two people to help in the past, okay?" ”

"Give someone to my home to help? Although I have a lot of work in my family, there are enough people in the village, so I don't need to worry about Young Master Ji's help. ”

Ji Yuexian saw that Lu Zhengan actually refused, and immediately became a little anxious. Song Huaishu on the side seemed to understand something, raised his eyes to look at Ji Yueqiao on Ji Yuexian's side, and reached out and pulled Lu Zhengan's sleeve.

Seeing Lu Zhengan turn his head to look at him, Song Huaishu whispered in his ear: "Old lady, do you want to send this little young master of the Ji family to our house?" ”

When Lu Zhengan heard this, his whole person reacted. He looked at Ji Yueqiao suddenly, his eyes full of resistance.

Ji Yueqiao, who was pulling flowers and leaves, was startled by Lu Zheng'an, and after subconsciously taking a step back, he asked, "What do you think I do?" ”

Lu Zhengan didn't pay attention to Ji Yueqiao, turned his head and said to Song Huaishu: "If you really guess it, I estimate that I can put up with him for two days at most." ”

Ji Yueqiao, who was far away from them, didn't know what Lu Zhengan and Song Huai were talking about, but Ji Yuexian heard it. Seeing his stupid brother's ignorant stupid look, Ji Yuexian was embarrassed at the same time, thinking of Ji Yueqiao's troublesome temperament all day long, and suddenly had a feeling in his heart that he wanted to beat him to death like Mrs. Ji.

"Knowing that the two of you have a good relationship, don't talk to me in front of me. Huai Shu is indeed right, I just want to send him to your home, so that he can experience the hardships of livelihood. ”

As soon as Ji Yuexian finished speaking, before Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu spoke, Ji Yueqiao on the side was unhappy.

"I don't! Second brother, I'm tired enough of being watched by my grandmother all day now, and you still want to send me to the countryside?! Do you still have my brother in your heart? I don't care, I'm going back to Beijing! ”

Seeing that Ji Yueqiao was still aggrieved, Ji Yuexian couldn't help but sigh. "It's because I feel sorry for you that I don't want you to go down like this."

Seeing that Ji Yueqiao was about to refute, Ji Yuexian raised his hand to stop what he was about to say. "You don't need to talk about this anymore, you have to go to the Lu family!"

However, Lu Zhengan, who was on the side, looked at the two brothers and felt extremely helpless. He took Song Huaishu's hand and walked between the two of them and asked, "Young Master Ji is in a hurry to make a decision, have you asked my opinion on this matter?" ”

Ji Yuexian really didn't expect Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu to object, and after glancing at him with a somewhat embarrassed expression, he hesitated for a moment, and then waved his hand to let Ji Yueqiao drive out of the conservatory.

After Ji Yueqiao left, Ji Yuexian looked at Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu with a solemn expression. "I know your character, and I didn't intend to send people to your home. But when my wife fell ill a few years ago, I had to think about it. ”

Hearing that Mrs. Ji was actually sick, Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu suddenly chuckled in their hearts. "Why didn't you mention it when you went to our house earlier?"
