Chapter 30 Uninvited Guest(1/2)

At the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket

**

Yao thought that way, but Zhou Nianhong felt very uncomfortable and could hardly contact Ji Xiaotang's gaze.∮,

In her opinion, the family had no choice but to need the protection of the Ji family and had already owed the Ji family favors. Apart from that, they should not ask for anything else. In this way, they took advantage of Mrs. Ji's kindness and guilt towards Yao, and took advantage of Ji Xiaotang's power to climb up. Zhou Nianhong felt very ashamed.

Now Ji Xiaotang asked her, Zhou Nianhong hesitated for a while, and said according to her own wishes: "I, I won't go, it has caused too much trouble to the county lord." Such an occasion is not consistent with her identity, and it's better if the world is not seen.

Zhou Nianhong knew that Yao was worried about her marriage and hoped that she could continue the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang's momentum and marry better.

But what is good? Is it okay to marry into a high school?

Zhou Nianhong doesn't think so. She would rather find ordinary families to be in a good match with them and live a normal life in the future.

Because Ji Xiaotang's eyes were very soft, Zhou Nianhong couldn't help but express what she thought.

"In such an occasion, I can't think of my identity. I just went to see it, and it would be beneficial to me. It's just that I'll cause trouble to the county lord for nothing."

Ji Xiaotang looked at Zhou Nianhong carefully again and knew that she was telling the truth.

"What's the trouble? During the New Year, it's just a big guy to go there. If Sister Nianhong wants to go, go with me." Ji Xiaotang said.

What she meant was that she was willing to take Zhou Nianhong with her.

Zhou Nianhong looked at Ji Xiaotang in surprise, but Yao on the side was already smiling. Before Zhou Nianhong could say whether to go or not, she thanked Ji Xiaotang.

"I, I'll think about it again." Zhou Nianhong said hesitantly, and did not say he wanted to go after all.

"Sister Nianhong doesn't need to think too much. Just treat me as a friend and go there together to make a lively life." Ji Xiaotang said again.

"What's wrong with your child? The county lord said so, but you are not ready." Yao was anxious for Zhou Nianhong. At the same time, he was worried that Ji Xiaotang would be angry.

Zhou Nianhong looked at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang smiled at Zhou Nianhong. These days, she kept a close eye on the lookout for her children. As long as it was not too much, she did not intend to pay attention. Although Zhou Nianhong's behavior was a bit old-fashioned, it was really respectable and cute.

Ji Xiaotang likes women who respect themselves and love themselves, and she is willing to help Zhou Nianhong.

But Zhou Nianhong was deeply moved by Ji Xiaotang's friend.

"If it's not too troublesome, then I'll go." Zhou Nianhong was not unwilling to follow her to listen to the opera.

"Okay, that's all." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

When Mrs. Ji saw that the matter was settled, she was very happy and told Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong to listen to Ji Xiaotang's words at that time.

"...After all, it's not at home. Although Xiaotang is young, she's always right."

Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong naturally agreed, and they were also happy in their hearts.

Ji Xiaotang talked with Mrs. Ji for a while, then said goodbye. Mrs. Ji then asked Ji Xiaoyun, Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong to prepare as well. ()

Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong each prepared their clothes and decorations. They first came to Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji nodded. The two of them came to Yanhua Hall to meet Ji Xiaotang and asked Ji Xiaotang for their opinions.

Ji Xiaotang asked Madam Cheng to see it. Seeing that it was generally appropriate and there was nothing forbidden, she nodded.

Zhou Nianhong and Gu Xueer happily came out of Yanhua Hall and walked towards Xuanhua Hall.

"Didn't you say you can't go? Why did you go again? You're the one who pretends to be arrogant in front of the county lord. The county lord is just your trick. You can deceive the county lord, but you can't deceive me!" Gu Xueer sneer said to Zhou Nianhong with a sneer.

Gu Xueer always looked at Zhou Nianhong and didn't like her. She thought that the Yao family had separated the favor of Mrs. Ji. Originally, Mrs. Ji was the only one who was around her and Ji Xiaoyun, but she was behind Ji Xiaoyun. However, she still received a lot of attention from Mrs. Ji.

But the Yao family came and went to the capital with vain.

Yao and Mrs. Ji had already given up their fifth reunion and were not considered serious relatives. She was the closest person to Mrs. Ji except for Mrs. Ji's children and grandchildren.

Yao is good at flattery and will take advantage of Mrs. Ji's guilt. She is very decent in front of Mrs. Ji. On the one hand, Mrs. Ji has to take care of Ji Xiaoyun, and also gives more thoughts to the three Yao family members, the mother and son, who treat her not as meticulous as before.

Moreover, what made her even more jealous was that Ji Xiaotang was always light in treating people and had no good expression on her, but she was different to Zhou Nianhong.

Ji Xiaotang was very polite to Zhou Nianhong and even recognized Zhou Nianhong as a friend.

Old Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaotang to take her and Zhou Nianhong to Deyuelou. She said many words of gratitude and pleasing, but Ji Xiaotang ignored her at all. Instead, she was very enthusiastic about Zhou Nianhong. Zhou Nianhong couldn't even tell her that she could not go, and Ji Xiaotang insisted on taking her there.

If you want to be close, she is naturally closer to Ji Xiaotang. With such different treatment, she dared not complain about Ji Xiaotang, so she kept all the accounts on Zhou Nianhong.

Zhou Nianhong paused slightly when she heard Gu Xueer's words, and turned her head to look at Gu Xueer.

Gu Xueer looked back at Zhou Nianhong with disdain.

Zhou Nianhong said nothing, turned around and continued to walk towards Xuanhua Hall, as if she had not heard Gu Xueer's mockery.

It was not the first time that Gu Xueer sneered at her coldly. Zhou Nianhong had always been patient, never quarreled with Gu Xueer, nor had she ever talked about it in front of the Ji family, including Old Mrs. Ji.

Seeing that Zhou Nianhong ignored her, Gu Xueer seemed to hit the cotton with a punch. She was unwilling to accept it and quickly caught up with Zhou Nianhong. The two of them said this and the other returned to Xuanhuatang silently.

Yanhua Hall was in the room, Ji Xiaotang was holding a pen in his hand and was reading a picture of an unfinished cold plum blossom on the desk. Not far away from her, Yao'er was whispering to her about the situation after Zhou Nianhong and Gu Xueer left Yanhua Hall.

"...Miss Xue'er's words get more and more excessive, and Miss Zhou never answered. Judging from Miss Zhou's usual temper, I really couldn't imagine that she could tolerate it like this."

Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything, but picked up his pen and continued his unfinished paintings.

After Zhou Nianhong and Gu Xueer moved into Xuanhua Hall, she had already heard from her servants. It was Zhou Nianhong's attitude towards Gu Xueer that made her value Zhou Nianhong more.

"I think Miss Zhou's decoration is too simple," Ji Xiaotang told Madam Cheng while painting, "Madam finds two suitable decorations. Let's give it to Madam Zhou for me."

Madam Cheng agreed immediately. ()

At this moment, Zhou Nianhong, whom they were talking about, had returned to the cross-yard of Xuanhua Hall. As soon as she entered the house, Yao quickly came up and asked her how she was in Yanhua Hall.

Yao's face was mixed with joy and nervousness. She attached great importance to Zhou Nianhong's follow Ji Xiaotang out this time.

Zhou Nianhong was not as excited as Yao. She just said that everything was fine.

Yao was a little worried and pulled Zhou Nianhong to sit on the kang.

There was a low table on the kang, and Zhou Qiao, who came back from the school, was sitting at the table to do his homework.

"Qiao'er, go to the inner room to do your homework. I have something to tell your sister." Yao was about to send Zhou Qiao away.

Zhou Qiao was a little reluctant. But seeing that Yao and Zhou Nianhong were both persistent, he had to slowly get up and go to the inner room. Although he entered the inner room, he did not do his homework immediately, but hid behind the curtain and secretly listened to Yao and Zhou Nianhong talking.

Yao took Zhou Nianhong's hand and looked at Zhou Nianhong's face carefully.

"Mom..." Zhou Nianhong felt a little uncomfortable when Yao saw it, so she spoke first.

"Nianhong, mom knows that you don't want to listen to mom's nagging, but there are some things that mom still has to say... Child, I know you are very arrogant, but we are not the same as before. There is no way. Just like yesterday, in front of the county lord, mom finally begged the old lady and asked the county lord to take you with him. The county lord asked you, even if you don't please like Gu Xueer, you should tell me to go immediately."

"If the county magistrate invites you repeatedly, my mother will feel a little worried for you. If the county magistrate is annoyed and doesn't take you there, or if we think we don't know how to praise you, then what should we do? In the future, we can never do this again."

Yao tried hard to persuade Zhou Nianhong that they were asking for help now and could not be as hard as before.

"Mom. I think the county lord is not that kind of person." Zhou Nianhong said. She and Yao's ideas are different, and sometimes they can't say they will go together.

"The county lord is fine to us. But I see, the most powerful person in the Ji family is her, and you must not offend him." Yao believes that Ji Xiaotang is the person who cannot offend the Ji family. He is also the person who can help them the most.

So, she asked Zhou Nianhong to find a way to please Ji Xiaotang.

"The county lord looks at you a little differently." Yao looked at Zhou Nianhong with a gaze.

Zhou Nianhong knew what Yao was thinking, but she couldn't agree no matter what.

"Mom, the county lord thinks I am a friend, so we can't use her kindness." Zhou Nianhong shook Yao's hand a little hard.

"How can I use it? She only needs to move her fingers, and you will be guaranteed for the rest of your life. Do you think that with the current situation in our family, I, a widow, can you tell you good families to you! Your brother is fine, if you can study hard, you will not be afraid. But you, a girl, are not young..."

What Zhou Nianhong is the most impatient topic of Yao.

"Mom, it's up to fate. I beg you to never give me any more tricks to ask the old lady, the second lady and the county lord."

"You kid, why are you so stubborn?" Seeing that Yao said, Zhou Nianhong was not moved and couldn't help but turn red in her eyes.

Zhou Nianhong is most disdainful of Yao's appearance.

"Mom, I'm not complaining about my mother. I know my hard work. I just want to think that although we are under someone else's roof, we must straighten our backbone. We can survive and live our current life under the protection of the Ji family. My brother studied again and there is no extravagant for me... Don't let others feel that we are insatiable and disgusted with us, and I'm sorry for my father."

"My marriage is up to fate. Mom, don't seek it for me anymore, as I feel even more uneasy. Mom, living a peaceful life is better than anything else. We are afraid that we can't repay the kindness of the Ji family to us now."

"...Honey..." Yao lowered his head, preventing Zhou Nianhong from seeing the emotions in her eyes at this moment, and muttered in a low voice. "This is what their Ji family owes me."

"Mom, what did you say?" Zhou Nianhong asked without hearing Yao's words clearly.

"Mom didn't say anything. Mom knows that you are tough and doesn't ask you to be more handsome. Since she treats you as a friend, you should get along with her well." Yao said hurriedly.

This is exactly what Zhou Nianhong thought.

"Mom, don't use my business to plot against the old lady anymore. In that case, I can't be friends with the county lord." Zhou Nianhong asked.

"Okay, mom promises you. You silly kid." Yao stroked Zhou Nianhong's head lovingly.

When Zhou Nianhong saw that Yao agreed, she felt relieved. In this way, she could relax a little and follow Ji Xiaotang to Deyue Tower.

Yao saw that Zhou Nianhong's face finally showed a smile, and her heart became even more sore.

Since the Zhou family suffered a disaster, Zhou Nianhong has never seen a smile on her face. Even though she was protected by the Ji family and her family lived a stable life, Zhou Nianhong still did not look like she smiled. She was young and had faint wrinkles between her eyebrows.

However, everything will be fine in the future.

It would be great to have Ji Xiaotang help Zhou Nianhong’s marriage. Even if Ji Xiaotang can’t count on her, she has other ways.

Didn’t Zhou Qiao go to a good school? Zhou Nianhong will marry well.

Just relying on the name Zhou Nianhong, that person must not be moved.
To be continued...
