Changsheng is already one year old, his arms and legs are stronger than children of the same age, and he can take a few steps to support him, and he also loves this game the most.∮,

Ji Xiaotang helped Mrs. Ji Er to prepare the housework that day, so she took Changsheng to play on the couch in Mrs. Ji Er's house. Ji Xiaotang first hugged Changsheng and asked him to stand, then took two steps back and asked Changsheng to walk to him. As expected, Changsheng took two short legs, and his two small arms and wings flapping forward. When Changsheng was about to lose his standing, he was just about to pounce into Ji Xiaotang's arms.

The couch is covered with felt strips. Even if Changsheng accidentally falls, it won’t hurt, and it won’t hurt.

The siblings were having fun. Mrs. Ji Er, who was doing needlework next to the window, occasionally raised her head and smiled.

When Ji Xiaotang and others were tired of playing, they carried him into their arms and recited two simple and catchy ancient poems for Changsheng to listen to. Changsheng could also "recite" them in a babbling manner.

It is said to be chanting, but only the rhythm can keep up. After all, he cannot be required to recite poems at his age.

Speaking of which, compared to children of the same age, Changsheng not only grows stronger, but also speaks earlier. Now he can clearly call out the words "Daddy, Mother, Sister, Uncle, Uncle, Brother, and Zuzu" and occasionally he can say simple sentences with three to four words.

The word "uncle, especially brother" was learned only after the Mu family came.

Everyone says that he is talented and talented, and he looks like a little prodigy.

Longevity is naturally smart, but there is also the reason why someone teaches it.

"Changsheng, go and tell my mother that she will rest and get tired of her eyes again." Ji Xiaotang poked Changsheng's fat little butt and said with a smile.

"Um." Changsheng rubbed his butt, stood up from Ji Xiaotang's arms, opened his hands and walked toward Mrs. Ji Er.

Ji Xiaotang and Mrs. Ji Er were not far away. When Mrs. Ji Er saw Changsheng walking over, she hurriedly put the needle and thread in her hand and stretched out her arms to pick up Changsheng.

Changsheng took a few steps to try his best, and giggled and threw himself into Mrs. Ji Er's arms.

Mrs. Ji Er rubbed Changsheng's head, but talked to Ji Xiaotang in her mouth.

"Your grandmother and your eldest aunt should have arrived home now."

"It should be here," Ji Xiaotang replied.

"I don't know if the journey is going well." Mrs. Ji Er said again.

"Don't worry, mom, with Ayou taking so many soldiers to protect him, the grandmother and the eldest aunt, returned home smoothly." Ji Xiaotang said.

Shen and Zhang took Mu Wanjie to live in the Ji family for about 20 years. Although Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er insisted on keeping them, they still said goodbye. Shen also couldn't bear to leave their daughters and grandchildren, but they couldn't always live here, leaving the three masters at home without caring about it.

It just so happened that Qi Younian's errand in Qingyuan came to an end, and he just happened to escort Shen and his group back.∏∈,

This is actually something that everyone has agreed on long ago.

As soon as Shen left, Mrs. Ji Er was inevitably a little empty for a moment. Fortunately, Ji Xiaotang and Changsheng were always with her.

"That's true." Mrs. Ji nodded when she heard Ji Xiaotang talk about Qi Younian.

"It's such a pity that Ayou's sister. She was only twenty years old and she was gone. Why did she say she left her little daughter?" Mrs. Ji Er teased Changsheng while chatting with Ji Xiaotang, and slowly talked about Qi Younian's mourning.

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded, "Ayou has a good relationship with his sister."

"There are no old or young people on the road to the underworld." Mrs. Ji Er sighed, "A big family like Ayou, is not the brothers and sisters who crawl out of the same mother's belly. There are inevitably many things in the back house, and it is rare to have a good relationship between brothers and sisters."

Mrs. Ji naturally knows Qi Younian's life experience now.

"It's better for a medium-sized family like us to have a plan for one family, not seeking wealth and life is comfortable." Mrs. Ji Er said again.

The Ji family is a medium-sized family, and Mrs. Ji's second wife may be right. As for the medium-sized family, it is not necessarily the same plan for each family to live a comfortable life.

With a family background and age, there are few people around him who have no concubines.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Mrs. Ji was reminding her, so she stopped responding.

In a while, a little girl came outside to report that Xie Huaijin was here.

Xie Huaijin came early in the morning and followed Master Ji Er in the study room in front to listen to Master Ji Er's articles. When he came here at this time, he must have been called by Master Ji Er.

Sure enough, when Xie Huaijin came into the house and gave a gift to Mrs. Ji Er, he said that Mr. Ji Er had a visitor and asked him to come to pay his respects to Mrs. Ji Er and talk to Mrs. Ji Er.

Mrs. Ji asked Xie Huaijin if both County Magistrate Xie and Mrs. Xie were good, what Mrs. Xie did at home, and asked Xie Huaijin’s homework.

"Young people know that it's good to work hard, but they also need to know how to recuperate and not to ruin their bodies."

Xie Huaijin naturally agreed with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang had already come down from the couch and brought the little girl to put up fresh tea fruits. In April, the village had already sent fresh cherries to the village.

Xie Huaijin knew that Ji Xiaotang loved to eat cherries.

"The cherries from my aunt's house are so good. I have been searching for them in the street market these days, but I can't find them. There are two rare baskets, all of which are small and astringent, so it's hard to compare with my aunt's house."

As Xie Huaijin said this, he secretly glanced at Ji Xiaotang.∮, he wanted to buy good cherries to please Ji Xiaotang, but unfortunately he didn't buy it. For this matter, Xie Huaijin was quite depressed.

"It's hard for you to be willing." Mrs. Ji Er knew Xie Huaijin's thoughts, so she smiled and said, "No wonder you. People in the village say that this year's season is not good. Originally, I could pick two baskets of cherries, but I could only pick one basket if I tried my best to pick."

"It's not an expensive thing, but it's still fresh. When you go back, I'll ask the girl to help you pretend and take it back for Uncle Xie and Uncle to taste it." Ji Xiaotang said.

"I always bother Uncle Ji, and I always prefer Auntie's good things."

"What are you saying? I like the peony you brought today." Mrs. Ji Er said.

"My mother said that I will invite Uncle Ji, Aunt and Xiaotang to visit my Shaoyao Garden in the past two days." Xie Huaijin said hurriedly. Now is the season when the Shaoyao is in full bloom.

"Okay, we'll go there if we have free time these two days." Mrs. Ji Er agreed with a smile.

Changsheng listened to everyone talking in Mrs. Ji Er's arms, his eyes rumbling, and he would look at whoever he talked. Xie Huaijin often came, so he knew him, so he crawled out of Mrs. Ji Er's arms and opened his hands to call Brother Xie Huaijin.

Xie Huaijin loved the house and the ninth house, and liked Changsheng very much. He hurriedly wiped his hands with a veil and hugged Changsheng.

Changsheng giggled, and when he got to Xie Huaijin's arms, he stretched out his two little hands and pinched Xie Huaijin's face.

"Why are you bullying your brother Huaijin again?" Mrs. Ji Er saw it and smiled and said angrily, "Don't pinch your brother's face."

Changsheng is naturally not afraid, and he still pinchs Xie Huaijin's face.

"It's okay, Changsheng likes me." Xie Huaijin said with a hurried smile.

Ji Xiaotang also saw it beside him, walked up to him and gently patted Changsheng's hand. Changsheng then giggled and let go.

"Brother..." Changsheng called Xie Huaijin in a angrily voice.

"Oh, good-natured, go to my brother's house to play."

"Well, Changsheng, brother's house."

The spring scenery outside was so beautiful that Mrs. Ji said she had something to do and asked Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin to take Changsheng out for a walk.

"Stay here at noon and have dinner with my aunt before going back." Mrs. Ji Er told Xie Huaijin again.

Ji Xiaotang hugged Changsheng and, with Xie Huaijin, surrounded by a group of wet nurses, maids and daughters-in-law, came to the Ruyi Garden behind. Changsheng liked koi the most, Ji Xiaotang sat in the pavilion by the pond, and took Changsheng to watch koi with Xie Huaijin.

The two of them spoke in a low voice.

"Xiaotang, I'll tell you something." Xie Huaijin looked at Ji Xiaotang's confidant girl beside her, and the other girls and daughters-in-law were outside the pavilion, so she lowered her voice.

"What's the matter?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Jiang Qingshan took the uncle of Yandai Hutong to bet outside," Xie Huaijin told Ji Xiaotang, "This is my father's servant who came to report to my father knows. My father told me that I told you."

"Why didn't Uncle Xie tell me dad personally?"

"This... After all, it's the old lady's brother. My father said that he came to tell Uncle Ji, for fear of inconvenience." Xie Huaijin said.

"Uncle Xie is too worried." Ji Xiaotang said, and then asked Xie Huaijin for details.

It turns out that there are casinos on the surface and gambling dens in secret in Qingyuan County. In the past few days, because of a case, Magistrate Xie arranged for his subordinates to investigate gambling dens in various parts of the county town.

The officers found a place where Jiang Qingshan was taking Gu Lao's uncle to bet there. The officer naturally recognized these two people. Jiang Qingshan was fine. The Jiang family's popularity in Qingyuan has been deteriorating in the past two years, but Gu Lao's uncle is the uncle of the Ji family.

The officer was in a way that deliberately sold a flaw and let Jiang Qingshan and Gu Lao Lao leave.

When he returned to the county government office, the servant told the matter to County Magistrate Xie. Obviously, the servants all knew the friendship between County Magistrate Xie and Master Ji Er.

"My father knew about this and was very worried." Xie Huaijin told Ji Xiaotang again.

"Brother Huaijin, thank you uncle when you go back. I will tell my father about this." Ji Xiaotang thought for a while and said, "But I'm afraid my father can't do anything to my uncle."

Mr. Gu’s difficulty and repeated repeated teachings, Xie Huaijin also knew a little, so he was worried and worthless for Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang seemed to have quickly left this matter behind. The two of them had a great time having fun with Changsheng. It was not until Mrs. Ji came to look for someone and they took Changsheng back.

A small banquet was set up in Mrs. Ji Er's house, and Mr. Ji Er also came back from the front. Ji Xiaotang sat down at Mr. Ji Er, Xie Huaijin next to Mr. Ji Er. After the four of them had a meal, Xie Huaijin said goodbye and left.

Only when Xie Huaijin left did Ji Xiaotang tell about Mr. Gu’s story.

Master Ji Er frowned.

"How did he swear to the old lady last time? Besides, his son hasn't been long!"

"What is Dad planning to do?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

To ban uncle Gu, he had to use extraordinary means. However, he was not a member of the Ji family, but an elder. How could those extraordinary means be used on him?

"I'll go and talk to the old lady." Master Ji Er thought about it and said.

This is the only way to let Mrs. Ji discipline Mr. Gu. For those extraordinary methods, Mr. Ji can come forward, but he has to be in the name of Mrs. Ji. In other words, Mrs. Ji has to nod first.

Old Mrs. Ji wants to save uncle Gu, but she saves him. If she doesn't want to save him, then others can't help.

As for uncle Gu, he asked for death himself, who is not his biological parents, how could he stop him?

Ji Xiaotang was unwilling to worry about this matter.

"Uncle Xie helped us again." Ji Xiaotang said slowly.
