Chapter 13 The Lack of Moon
"Second master, you have all the dishes you want. The shopkeeper carefully put down a few dishes, large and small. said to Ji Chongru, who was sitting not far away.
Ji Ge turned his head, glanced at the table full of dishes, and smiled at Hu Shutong who was sitting in front of him, "The money for this meal should be your deposit." How?"
Before he could reply, Ji Ge spoke again: "Second uncle, let's go." ”
Ji Chongru, who was sitting next to him, nodded, and then Ji Ge took the lead and walked downstairs.
Ji Chongru stood up, glanced at Gu Hanzhi with a little meaning, and followed Ji Ge unhurriedly.
Seeing the figures of Ji Chongru and Ji Ge disappearing at the top of the stairs, Gu Hanzhi slowly sat down and whispered to Hu Shutong, who still looked incredulous: "Second son, just now..."
Hearing Gu Hanzhi speak, Hu Shutong, who came back to his senses, preemptively said: "Brother Hanzhi, I hope you didn't take what Ji Ge said just now to heart. ”
"You just think it's a deaf ear. Gu Shutong refilled the hot water into his teacup, "Okay?"
Gu Hanzhi thought of Ji Chongru's inexplicable and profound gaze before leaving, and then looked at Gu Shutong, who was smiling as he was adding water and making tea for himself.
If before that, the ambition of the second prince was to bury the seeds of the thick soil and not see the light of day, then after Ji Ge, who was known as the Linlang of the Ji family, opened that condition without a trace, Hu Shutong's ambition broke through the ground.
He could clearly see that there was something in the depths of Hu Shutong's eyes that was rapidly climbing, and that kind of thing was called desire.
"Second son, rest assured. Gu Hanzhi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spoke.
Hu Shutong glanced at the shopkeeper who was still prostrate on the ground, and scolded: "Damn it, don't remove the dishes from that table here!"
"Yes, yes, yes. The shopkeeper hurriedly got up.
"That's right. Hu Shutong seemed to remember something, and said to the busy Xiao Er: "Their table is recorded in my account." ”
Gu Hanzhi glanced at him meaningfully and remained silent.
Ji Chongru, who walked downstairs, saw Ji Ge waiting for him at the door of Fuqing Building at a glance.
"Second uncle, was there anything wrong with me just now?" Ji Ge asked with a smile.
Ji Chongru looked at his nephew who was full of joy with a proud face in front of him, shook his head, and said, "Very good." ”
Ji Ge scratched his head, "It's the first time you do business, and you're inevitably a little nervous. ”
"It's already done well. Let's go, my father-in-law is still waiting for us to go back. ”
"Okay. ”
Just when Ji Ge and Ji Chongru walked not far away, the plaque of Fuqing Building smashed to the ground and cracked in half.
Gu Hanzhi frowned when he heard the uproar downstairs, glanced at Hu Shutong, who was still eating comfortably, and couldn't help but ask: "Second son, do you really want to use the hands of the Ji family to deal with the eldest son?"
When Gu Hanzhi heard this, he put down the chopsticks and chopsticks, poured Gu Hanzhi a cup of dragon carving wine with the saying of "one thousand taels of gold and half a two dragon carvings", and said: "As soon as I come to the restaurant today, my father will definitely ask when I return home, maybe now my father has sent someone to ask me to go back." I know that my father has always valued you, Brother Hanzhi, so when the time comes, I will ask Brother Hanzhi to say a few kind words for me in front of my father. ”
"Second, although Ji Ge and I will ensure that this deal will not be known to outsiders, the eldest brother will definitely be suspicious. At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat him on my own, so with the help of Ji Ge's power, it is really a last resort. ”
"And a third. Gu Shutong shook the dragon carving wine in the cup, "If I don't agree, I'm afraid that both of us brothers will have to go out of Fuqing Building horizontally." ”
Gu Shutong pushed the wine glass in front of Gu Hanzhi and said, "There is a sage's saying, what do you say?
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Gu Hanzhi said.
"I didn't expect Brother Hanzhi to still have a gully in his chest. Let's go?"
"Walking. ”
Himefu.
The Ji family has been very busy since dawn, because the old family owner said that today is the day when the little family master goes out of the building. So everyone is busy preparing Ji Ge's favorite dishes.
Himefu lobby.
Ji Qiong, the patriarch of the Ji family, sat on the upper seat. Next to him stood a scrawny old man leaning over his ears.
This old man is none other than Chen Manzhou, the chief housekeeper of the Ji Mansion. Jiazi took care of the diet and daily life of two generations of the Ji family at the age of age. In the past ten years, although the Ji family has suffered major changes, he is still presiding over the affairs of the Ji Mansion, without a single drop.
Even if it is the current helmsman of the Ji family, Ji Chongru has to stop and shout Uncle Chen when he sees him. If he still has the strength, maybe the daily life of the head of the Ji Xiao family may still be taken care of by him.
"Master, the little master has left Fuqing Building. Chen Manzhou lowered his body and whispered to Ji Qiong.
Ji Qiong nodded, looked at the old man who had been in the Ji family for more than forty years with a smile, and said with a smile: "Old Chen, has Xiaoge's room been cleaned up?"
"Back to the master, the little one has already asked the two girls of the red crisp and green willow to clean up the little master's room again. ”
"Hey, how did the sun hit the west today? In the past ten years, you have been cleaning up Xiaoge's room every day. Why are you willing to change those two girls today?"
Ji Qiong glanced at Chen Manzhou and asked jokingly.
"It's not a small one, I'm afraid that it won't be in line with the little master's wishes. I thought that it was the girl's family that recruited the little master, didn't it? When it comes to Ji Ge, the old housekeeper of Ji Mansion named Chen Manzhou always has a smile on his face.
In the past, whether it was a scorching summer or a heavy snow, or a gurgling and weak Xiao Jige would always knock on his door with a wine jug, and after seeing himself, he carefully handed the wine jug to himself, and said happily: "Grandpa Chen, I brought you the good wine that Grandpa secretly hid for you." ”
"We're all old. ”
A sigh interrupted Chen Manzhou's thoughts.
"Sir, what are you talking about? Chen Manzhou bowed and said.
"It's not okay to be old. The future will still be the age of this young man. We're old guys. It's time to give way. Ji Qiong sighed.
"Sir, you are old and strong. ”
Ji Qiong kicked him lightly, "When did even you, an old boy, learn to pat on the back?"
"Then the old slave is not here to disturb the old man's purity. I'll go to the front of the mansion and wait for the second master and the little master. Chen Manzhou grinned and said.
Ji Qiong nodded. Then close your eyes.
Ji Ge and Ji Chongru saw the old housekeeper waiting in front of the mansion from a distance.
Ji Ge hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hello Grandpa Chen." ”
Ji Chongru also opened his mouth and called Uncle Chen.
Chen Manzhou looked at the handsome young man in front of him who affectionately called himself Grandpa Chen, first stunned, and then burst into tears, and said: "I have grown taller, and my eyebrows and eyes are becoming more and more like Qingyun." Qingyun really gave birth to a good son. ”
Ji Ge's eyes were a little red, "Grandpa Chen, let's go in first." It's windy outside. ”
"Good, good. The old man is still waiting for the little master inside. As if realizing something, Chen Manzhou hurriedly said.
"Hmm. Good. I'll go to see my grandfather first. Ji Ge blinked and regained his expression, "I'll bring you a few more jars of good wine later." ”
Ji Chongru muttered in his heart, his father-in-law's wine cellar is about to suffer again.
But he didn't hear it, and took the lead and walked straight into the Ji Mansion.
Chen Manzhou looked at the two white clothes of one big and one small in the distance, the Ji family was dressed in white, and the middle generation of the clan was crowned. The eyes were full of relief. Wiping away the tears that had not yet dried his face, he muttered to himself, "It's really old." ”
"Grandpa. As soon as Ji Ge walked into the patio, he shouted towards the lobby.
I don't know who passed the sentence "The little master is back" in the Ji Mansion, and then the mansion became lively as if it had exploded.
The Ji family has come up and down to the front yard, and those who have been in the house for some years, such as Aunt Li and Aunt Wang, want to see if the little master is healthy and peaceful, and more are the little maids who have newly entered the house in recent years, such as Chen Manzhou, Chen Lao Butler, the red crisp green willow mentioned earlier, etc., they want to witness how graceful the Ji family Linlang is, whether they really go to the outside world to rumor, so they can stabilize the Xinjia Yushu by their appearance alone.
Then a swarm of people gathered in the front yard and looked at the two white clothes, one big and one small, one in front and one behind, and walked into the gate.
Seeing the white-clothed Ji Chongru in front, the crowd that was originally chirping suddenly quieted down. Their awe of the second master of the Ji family is far greater than their joy, otherwise Miss's personal maid Cui Su would not show that kind of posture to the second master of the Ji family.
But unexpectedly, Ji Chongru did not ask them to step back as before, but walked straight towards the lobby.
After a few steps, Ji Ge, who was originally following behind Ji Chongru, revealed his figure.
Yingying Yanyan, who was gathered in the front yard, saw a handsome young man who was also dressed in white walking towards them.
A long hosta messy hair is tied up, the sword eyebrows are slightly raised, and a pair of Danfeng eyes and dark eyes are deep, revealing countless talents and styles. The corners of the mouth are raised, and the lips are white.
A "hello sisters" made Yingying Yanyan's heart tremble.
Like Aunt Li and Aunt Wang, who have been in Ji Mansion for many years, they see the shadow of the young master in Ji Ge, just like the young master Qingyun affectionately shouted to him when he first entered Ji Mansion many years ago, "Hello, sister".
Aunt Li and Aunt Wang also wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, stepped forward, looked at the little young master with eyebrows and eyes that looked like Young Master Qingyun, and asked, "Are you back?"
"Hmm. Went home. Ji Ge looked at Aunt Li, who had loved her since she was a child, and said with a smile.
It's good that Ji Ge didn't open his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Aunt Li, who had stopped crying, burst into tears at the corners of their eyes, "It's good to come back." Just come back. ”
Aunt Wang stepped forward, wiped her tears, and said, "You go to see the old lady first, and your Aunt Li and I will prepare your favorite sugar steamed cheese and spring kernel apricot cake for you." ”
Ji Ge stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Aunt Wang's eyes, and said softly, "Don't cry, Auntie." ”
Aunt Wang, whose surname Wang has long been remembered by no one and has been in the Ji family for decades, nodded silently, turned around and returned to the backyard with Aunt Li.
They grew up watching Ji Ge grow up, and now they are satisfied to see that Ji Ge is safe and sound for them, the "old ministers" of the Ji family.
Ji Ge looked at Yingying Yanyan, who still refused to disperse, and said with a smile: "Sisters, I'll come to play with my sisters after I find my grandfather." ”
Red crisp green willow They looked at the future owner of the Ji family, and they were all Xia Fei's cheeks and wanted to speak.
I didn't expect the little master of the Ji family with a beautiful face to still know how to take care of the girl so considerately.
"The fragrance floats and softens the early cold dew, and the powder droplets are not round * melons. Ji Ge chanted loudly as she walked.
Most of the warblers and Yanyan had never gone to private school, only Hongshu had listened to Mr. private school's lecture for a few days before entering Ji's mansion, and I saw that her face was crimson, and her peach-like cheeks seemed to be able to pinch out water.
She couldn't help but take a sip in the direction where Ji Ge was far away, and whispered, "It turns out that he is still such a scoundrel." ”
"Sister Hongshu, what do you mean by what Young Master Ji said?" asked Aoyagi, who had the best relationship with her in private, in a low voice.
This question, which was already full of crimson red cakes, was even more red-faced, and she glanced at the magnificent scene on Qingliu's chest, and said to her: "I want to know, ask him to go." ”
Himefu lobby.
As soon as Ji Ge walked into the door, he saw his grandfather sitting on the upper seat with his eyes closed, Ji Chongru stood beside him and talked to him about the various processes in the Fuqing Building before.
Ji Qiong nodded as he listened. seems to be affirming Ji Ge's approach.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ji Qiong opened his eyes and beckoned Ji Ge to come forward.
Ji Ge walked forward quickly, took the tea on the table and drank it all before asking, "You didn't tell grandpa in advance, don't blame your grandson." ”
Ji Qiong smiled and shook his head: "Actually, you did a good job in this matter, even your second uncle, who has always been very picky, praised you in this matter." It's just that you're really sure that the unsuccessful son of the ancients would choose to cooperate with you?"
Ji Ge sat on his grandfather's right hand and said, "Actually, I want to say sorry to my second uncle first, so that he will lose face in front of everyone." ”
"If I lose some face, I can win over this ancient family who treats me as if they were killing my father, then it doesn't hurt. Ji Chongru smiled knowingly.
"Help him to do the lack of a month, I don't think he will refuse for no reason. ”
