Chapter 18 Confidant

As the weather gets warmer, all rooms in Ji's house are preparing for changing seasons.⊥, Ji Xiaotang's close-fitting clothes never use needlework rooms, but only hand them over to the girls in the room to take care of them.

"Mrs. I just asked me to give these rulers. Girl, see if I like it." Jin'er came in with a smile from outside, held a few rulers in her hand, asking Ji Xiaotang to choose.

Ji Xiaotang was a little absent-minded. After a little bit of a look, he picked out the moon-white soft silk and the lake-blue soft satin.

"Others, you and Xiu'er are picky." Ji Xiaotang ordered Jin'er.

Jin'er made his own decision and also picked up the big red and goose yellow rulers for Ji Xiaotang, and went to discuss with Xiu'er that he would make needles and threads for Ji Xiaotang.

Seeing that the weather was sunny outside, Ji Xiaotang left Jin'er and Xiu'er to watch the house and make needles and threads. He asked the little girl Dou'er and Zhu'er to bring a can of sweet soup and a few snacks, and then came forward.

There is a cross-yard next to the sedan hall in front. There are not many houses, but the place is spacious. Now, this cross-yard has been cleaned up to be used for Master Ji San to learn martial arts.

Ji Xiaotang followed a narrow corridor to the forefront, passed the through hall, turned into the moon gate along the veranda, and then arrived at the cross-yard.

There was a table under the steps of the yard. Master Ji San was sitting next to the table, with a long robe scattered with crimson red, watching the martial artist in the yard squat with his servants, kicking his legs and punching.

These servants have been trained for a few days and look quite imposing.

Ji Xiaotang stopped by the door for a moment and nodded in his heart.

Master Ji San had already seen Ji Xiaotang and waved to her.

Ji Xiaotang led the little girl to Master Ji San.

Master Zeng also saw Ji Xiaotang, so he hurriedly asked the servants to stay, so he came over to greet Ji Xiaotang.

Unlike the other two masters, Master Zeng was recommended by Ji Xiaotang's grandfather, and had already seen the ceremony for Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang before. ()

Ji Xiaotang returned a gift, and asked the little girl to pour a bowl of sweet soup for Master Zeng to drink.

"Master Zeng will continue with them, it's okay for me to be here." Ji Xiaotang said again.

Master Zeng is a solid man. After hearing Ji Xiaotang say this, he clasped his fists again and really went back to continue practicing the servants.

Ji Xiaotang sat by the table. There were some booklets stacked on the table. Ji Xiaotang looked through it. It was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but some very practical books, among which there were two books.

"Zi said that the poem says I know me, but I don't know it. But I can still read these things. Even if I don't understand them, it's easy to ask the masters in the study or the managers in the account." Master Ji San told Ji Xiaotang.

Master Ji San did not expect to advance from the imperial examination. Not only that, in addition to forming a guard team, Master Ji San seemed to have a strong interest in the common affairs.

Master Ji San is planning to take charge of the Ji family's common affairs.

Ji Xiaotang glanced at Master Ji San.

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle." Master Ji Er has already discovered Master Ji San's talent, but he secretly says Master Ji San is not doing his job properly. But Ji Xiaotang knows why Master Ji San does this.

Master Ji San has really put his heart into good intentions.

"I didn't care about this before, but now I'm just looking at it, but it's just right for me. Xiaotang, do you know what this is called?"

"What's the name?"

"This is called: I am born to be useful!" Master Ji San laughed.

After Master Ji San smiled, he slowly put away his smile and lowered his voice to tell Ji Xiaotang.

"Jiang Family... Qingshan is here.∏∈,"

"He came to see my uncle, what's wrong?"

Master Ji San was injured, and Jiang Qingshan and his son Jiang Xinglong had visited him several times. Master Ji San only said that he was seriously injured and did not give the Jiang family a chance to speak more. Now that Master Ji San is out to walk around, Jiang Qingshan and Jiang Xinglong are afraid that they will come more diligently.

"Yes." Master Ji San nodded, "Let's see our servant learn martial arts. Jiang Qingshan wants to recommend the martial arts master to me again, but I didn't agree."

"Uncle..." Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly.

"I'm awake, Xiaotang." Master Ji San said immediately. He did not agree to Jiang Qingshan, but he would not make Jiang Qingshan suspicious, thinking that he was no longer trusted.

"I have always been casual in my work. He also knows that even if he is unhappy, he still can't even doubt the other person."

"Anyway, my uncle should be more patient and never alert the snake." Ji Xiaotang nodded and then instructed him.

"I will endure it." Master Ji San nodded. He would do his best to plead guilty to Jiang Qingshan and his son.

"How long have they been gone and where have they been?" Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San.

Jiang Qingshan and Jiang Xinglong will not leave so easily.

"Oh, Jiang Qingshan said he was going to the study to find your father. "Mr. Ji San told Ji Xiaotang.

When Ji Xiaotang heard Jiang Qingshan go to find Master Ji Er, he stood up.

"Uncle, you are here, I'll go to the study room to take a look."

"good."

Ji Xiaotang took the little girl out of the yard, bypassed the sedan chair, and headed straight to the study in the front yard. When the servant in charge saw it from afar, he hurriedly bowed to the side.

There was no one else in the study, only Master Ji Er and Jiang Qingshan, so there was no need to avoid it. Master Ji Er asked Ji Xiaotang to go into the study and talk.

When Jiang Qingshan saw Ji Xiaotang, he had already stood up with a smile on his face and said hello.

"The better the third sister is. Judging from her complexion, it's no longer a problem?"

"Blessed by the old man, Xiaotang is all better now." Master Ji Er smiled and looked in a good mood. He asked Ji Xiaotang again, why did he come to the front?

"Mom said, "Dad, thank you for your hard work, so I asked me to give you some sweet soup to drink for Dad." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Let's go." Master Ji Er said.

Ji Xiaotang put down the sweet soup, went and did not leave, but just looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the shelves in the study.

Master Ji Er didn't care about her and just talked to Jiang Qingshan.

"Where did you say it just now?"

"It's about my uncle practicing martial arts." Jiang Qingshan quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang turned his back to Jiang Qingshan, as if he was fascinated by looking at a scroll.

"My uncle has loved playing with guns and sticks since he was a child, and now he has gotten his wish. But the swords, guns, sticks, and sticks are eyeless. My uncle, Jin Zun and Yu Gui, is fine, so it's fine to play with it." Jiang Qingshan withdrew his gaze and continued.

This was just in the heart of Master Ji Er.

"I say the same. Let's wait until he's over the hot day."

"...I should have someone to take care of him all the time. The Master Zhang I recommended is not only good at gun, stick, archery, horse, but also mature and proper. I have never made any mistakes with me over the years. I am the most benevolent and righteous person. But my uncle thought he was rude and hired Master Li, who was unknown."

"Don't worry about him, let him go." Master Ji Er didn't care much about Jiang Qingshan's words. Anyway, Master Ji San's enthusiasm won't last long.

"Second uncle, that's not what he said." Jiang Qingshan lowered his voice. Although he didn't avoid Ji Xiaotang, he didn't want Ji Xiaotang to hear these words. "Second uncle doesn't know that the person surnamed Li said that he had committed a crime in the border army and escaped. Our family took him in, and I'm afraid that he would cause trouble for our family and my uncle! I'm young and I don't know how powerful it is!"

"Is there such a thing?" Master Ji Er had to pay attention to Jiang Qingshan's words.

"How dare I talk nonsense in front of my second uncle?" Jiang Qingshan said immediately.

Master Ji Er pondered. The Jiang family served several generations. Master Ji Er praised Jiang Qingshan's ability and trusted Jiang Qingshan very much.

Especially in the three years since the Ji family was mourning, Mr. Ji was almost always in charge of all the things that happened outside.

Jiang Qingshan has outstanding abilities and extensive friendships. People from all walks of life can get together. He can get news that others cannot get, and he can also do things that others cannot do.

Master Ji Er not only trusts Jiang Qingshan, but also relies heavily on him.

"If this is the case..." It would be better to believe that there is such a thing than to believe that there is no such thing. Master Ji Er was already thinking about how to beat Master Li.

"Second uncle, since he has invited someone, he will drive him out for a moment. Why not let Master Zhang come too. He slowly realizes it and will leave. This will not hurt his face and leave." Jiang Qingshan observed his expression and took the opportunity to say immediately.

Jiang Qingshan wanted to squeeze out Master Li and put his own hands.

Over the years, whenever the Ji family has something, Jiang Qingshan will find a way to intervene, let alone such a big thing as a guard.

Although the Ji family's guard team is still just a prototype, Jiang Qingshan has seen its threat and its great use.

Ji Xiaotang was about to step by step to separate Jiang Qingshan from the affairs of the Ji family. Part of the establishment of a guardhouse was originally intended to deal with Jiang Qingshan, and Ji Xiaotang would never allow Jiang Qingshan to be involved.
