Chapter 10 Determination
Thinking in my heart, Ji Xiaotang's face gradually calmed down.∏∈,
When Master Ji San saw it, he thought that he had convinced Ji Xiaotang.
"Xiaotang, Xiaotang..." Master Ji San simply squatted in front of Ji Xiaotang and looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile on his face. He was waiting for Ji Xiaotang to give him an accurate statement.
"Forget it, it's not my turn to care about this." Ji Xiaotang finally said.
"That's great." Master Ji San smiled happily, "Xiaotang, I knew that my uncle didn't love you in vain."
Ji Xiaotang turned his face and ignored Master Ji San, while flipping around the table with his hands.
There were a few copybooks and books on the table, and the homework that Mr. Ji San had done halfway.
"Hehe." Master Ji San stood up and discussed with Ji Xiaotang again, "...I can't do so much homework. At that time, I will make your father angry again. It's not good. Xiaotang, look, is it...hehe..."
"I knew that if you gave me something, uncle, you must have asked me to make a gun for you again!" Ji Xiaotang said angrily.
Master Ji San laughed and kept begging Ji Xiaotang.
"Okay." Ji Xiaotang had no choice but to agree. "I'll agree first. If my father sees it, don't say it out."
"It must, it must. If there is really something wrong, my uncle will take it with all his strength and will never let you lose your life." Master Ji San swore.
"The last time, I won't be the case." Ji Xiaotang said again.
"If you don't have the example, if you don't have the example, you won't have the example." Master Ji San nodded repeatedly.
Ji Xiaotang left the library and walked slowly out of the garden.
I won’t be an example. She has said this sentence many times, but there is always the next time.
The dangers of gambling, Mr. Ji and Mr. Ji Er have raised their lives to Mr. Ji San more than once, but they can only control them for a while.∏∈, Mr. Ji San only regards it as a harmless little entertainment, and also believes that he has great luck in gambling and no one can beat him.
Master Ji San didn't know that he could win all the time, but those who were afraid and wanted to flatter the Ji family, so they gave in to him.
If someone wants to make a game, it is really easy to beat him.
Once a person like Master Ji San loses, anything can happen. Ji Xiaotang still remembers that Master Ji's eyes were red when he lost in the previous century, and actually lost all the people in his family to others!
Master Ji San’s profiteering is not just about gambling.
Ji Xiaotang walked to the front, sat there for a while, and then came to Mrs. Ji's second place.
Master Ji Er had already sent off the guests and was talking to Mrs. Ji Er in the hall.
"Where are you from your grandmother?" Seeing Ji Xiaotang coming back, Mrs. Ji asked.
"Yes." Ji Xiaotang bowed to Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er, and sat on a chair that Mrs. Ji Er took action.
The little girl immediately brought the tea.
Ji Xiaotang took the sunflower tea cup with a white background, took a sip, and then told Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er again.
"Grandma asked me to send some food to my uncle."
"Your uncle is memorizing the letter carefully?" Master Ji Er asked, "A guest has just arrived, and I have no choice but to leave him. I am afraid that he will not be able to sit still."
"Dad is right," Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, "When I went over, my uncle scratched his head. I asked him how he memorized the book, but he didn't even recite a page. I laughed at him and was a little annoyed."
"Don't mess with him. He has been banned by me these days and is impatient." Master Ji Er said.
"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded and asked Mr. Ji what kind of guest was there.
"I am a scholar in Qinzhou. He said he had been with our ancestors. () His family opened a business shop and came to us to spread some things. Brother Qingshan introduced me to me and ask me to tell you about your personal favors." Mr. Ji Er casually told Ji Xiaotang.
The ancestors of the Ji family originally lived in Qinzhou. Uncle Ziqian, whom Master Ji Er, mentioned by Master Ji, was a friend of the same year. Now he is the county magistrate of Qingyuan County and is in love with the Ji family.
"Brother Qingshan is here too?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"He came with him." Master Ji Er nodded.
It's no wonder that Master Ji San could sneak out to play with confidence. It must be that Jiang Qingshan stumbled on Master Ji Er and sent someone to spread the news to Master Ji San. It was because of this that Master Ji San went out and happened to meet the group of friends and got a treasure to come to his house.
Ji Xiaotang touched the Linglong ball in her sleeve, but she didn't mention it in front of Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er.
"Dad agreed to what they asked?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.
"That scholar is innocent, and it is not a big deal. I have already written a post to beat someone and sent it to the county government." Master Ji Er said.
Mr. Ji Er went home and was worried and had a good relationship with the county magistrate. It was not uncommon to ask for such a request, and most of them were recommended by Jiang Qingshan.
Master Ji Er is honest by nature and is unwilling to accept money and property. Jiang Qing was good at it, but no one knew how many benefits Jiang Qing had received.
Jiang Qingshan’s ancestors were just scoundrels. To this day, the Jiang family has become one of the most wealthy families in Qingyuan County, and a group of people have gathered under him, relying on him to join the Ji family.
Money is still a small matter, and there are even greater disadvantages.
Master Ji Er trusts Jiang Qingshan very much, and he almost listens to Jiang Qingshan's mouth when dealing with things. Jiang Qingshan takes power in it, which is even more harmful.
"If it's really a trivial matter, Brother Qingshan went to the yamen to tell his close friend, and I was afraid that the matter would be done, so I can't beg my father. I heard that Brother Qingshan and the yamen were very good, and I helped people sue, and I don't know how much money I made in a year, and many people were afraid of him."
"Xiaotang, where did you hear these words?" Mr. Ji Er asked hurriedly.
"Don't Dad know?" Ji Xiaotang pretended to be surprised. "I think everyone knows it. Everyone on the street said so. Two days ago, my little girl bought velvet thread at the back corner gate. I heard someone say that, and I came back to learn for me."
"Is this happening?!" Master Ji Er frowned, "Qingshan is just a passionate person and loves to fight and be upset. So sometimes it is inevitable to take things into consideration."
Ji Xiaotang is a child and doesn’t know the severity of the matter. If this is true, Jiang Qingshan actually took charge of lawsuits in the yamen!
"He dared not do this." Master Ji Er said again, "If there were, how could no one tell me?"
"Maybe it's people talking nonsense." Ji Xiaotang didn't argue, "Dad was mourning for his grandfather for three years according to ancient etiquette, and did not ask about things outside. Even if Brother Qingshan had these things, people knew that he was close to our family, and they didn't dare to tell his father that he knew."
"I'll call him to ask later." Master Ji Er said, obviously attaching great importance to this matter.
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this." Ji Xiaotang said, "Dad should search more, just ask, why not ask Uncle Ziqian?"
"Xiaotang is right." Mrs. Ji Er nodded, "If someone slandered Qingshan, you call him and ask him, it may hurt his face."
"You all say that, that's fine." Master Ji Er said.
As long as Master Ji Er is careful, he will always find some clues.
Ji Xiaotang sat with Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er for a while, then said goodbye and got up, turned over the marble screen with gold-embedded mother-of-pearl and came out from the back door.
When I left the back door, there was a vermillion paradise on both sides, with red railings. Under the steps was a pink and white screen wall, painting a large landscape painting. Turning over the screen wall, there was a small patio. A few pomegranate trees were planted in the patio, and green buds had emerged. There were two large jars, and water lilies were planted in the jar, and a few koi were raised.
On the front are three small main rooms, Deer Antlers and Mountain, and three rooms each with east and west.
The three main rooms are Ji Xiaotang's residence. The east and west rooms are the private warehouse of Mrs. Ji Er.
Ji Xiaotang first fed koi with fish food under the steps, and then went up the steps.
There were several bird cages hanging under the corridor. As soon as Ji Xiaotang walked up the steps, one of the budgies flapped his wings and started screaming.
"The girl is back, the girl is back!"
"Have you fed the food?" Ji Xiaotang asked the big girl Jin'er whom he picked up.
"It will be dedicated to Qin'er! When it comes to the girl, I have already been fed once in the morning." Jin'er replied with a hurried smile.
Ji Xiaotang walked to the bird cage and saw that there was all the food inside. However, he still took the porcelain bowl from the girl and added some broken egg yolks to each bird food jar. Then he walked into the house.
A little girl had already raised the curtain and welcomed Ji Xiaotang into the house.
"Miss, take off her clothes outside and lay down." The big girl Xiu'er brought the tea and asked, "What are the girls doing? They're so tired."
"I look very tired?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"My maid looks yes." Xiu'er said, "Miss has been busy all these days, but I forgot. Doctor Li also told the girl to take a break. The girl hasn't been fully recovered yet."
Jin'er and Xiu'er are two big girls she serves with, and they are both just twelve years old this year.
There was no end to the nest when the nest was destroyed. When the Ji family was in decline, these two girls refused to leave Ji Xiaotang. Jin'er had a fierce personality and was also impulsive. She wanted to feed the tiger with her body and gain a glimmer of hope for her, but she died. Xiu'er was gentle and thoughtful. In the end, she sold herself to an old rich man and exchanged Ji Xiaotang for a small bag of brown rice.
Ji Xiaotang asked the two girls to take off their clothes outside, leaning on the couch and closing their eyes to rest.
Protect what she can protect, give up what she must give up.
Ji Xiaotang once again strengthened his mind.
