Ji Xiaotang was idle outside for a while, and it was not until Madam Cheng came to look for her with a lantern in person that she went back to Yanhuatang to rest.∏∈,
The next day, Ji Xiaotang was having breakfast, and remembered the incident that she had ignored yesterday because of Cheng Dazhong's arrival. She entrusted that incident to Madam Cheng.
After calling Madam Cheng to her, Ji Xiaotang asked her: "Have Madam checked yesterday? Have you ever asked Miss Zhou?"
"The county lord was busy yesterday and was about to report this to the county lord."
Zheng Zi suddenly had a conversation with Gu Xueer, and Ji Xiaotang didn't believe that they hit it off at first sight. Gu Xueer had the intention to get to know one or two "friends" with valuable identities, but she did not have enough scheming and means.
It must be that Zheng Zi took the initiative to find Gu Xueer. She must have seen that only Gu Xueer was the flaw in the people Ji Xiaotang was the most likely to be abducted. Gu Xueer's identity as the niece of Old Lady Ji is also worthy of abducting.
Ji Xiaotang never had any intention of letting Gu Xueer follow Gu's uncle's footsteps and causing harm to the Ji family again.
"Madam, I'll listen." Ji Xiaotang nodded and asked Madam Cheng to continue speaking.
Madam Cheng told Ji Xiaotang that as Ji Xiaotang guessed, it was Zheng Zi who took the initiative to come to Gu Xueer and talked to Gu Xueer. Gu Xueer was flattered.
At Deyue Tower, Ji Xiaotang introduced Ji Xiaoyun to everyone, Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong. Ji Xiaoyun is her relative's sister. She naturally said that she said that Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong's identities were just a word, and she did not explain them carefully.
But this does not prevent others from guessing the truth. Even if they don’t guess, Ji Xiaolian must be very willing to tell them as long as they ask Ji Xiaolian.
Ji Xiaolian was unhappy when he took Ji Xiaoyun and the other three to Deyue Tower, and felt that they, especially Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong, would embarrass Xinhuatang. However, Old Mrs. Ji's decision. Ji Xiaolian didn't dare to have any objections on her face.
The girls present at that time all had this look. After that, they were fine with Ji Xiaoyun, but few people took the initiative to pay attention to Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong. Some even joked about Ji Xiaotang behind their backs, and joked about her bringing relatives who were too different in their identities and dependents of the Ji family to such occasions.
Ji Xiaotang took them there, just to watch the show, and it was lively. Making friends with the noble girls present was not necessarily a good thing for Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong.
They don’t need to make friends with those present, because generally speaking, their future life trajectory will not be intersected.
Ji Xiaotang's approach is a kind of protection for them.
Gu Nianhong appreciates it, but Gu Xueer is not.
Gu Xueer was in Deyue Tower. At first, she was nervous and at a loss. Later, she slowly relaxed. Although she did not say anything inappropriate or did anything inappropriate, her eyes were very restless.
If you are interested, you will naturally notice this.
Obviously, Zheng Zi is a person with a heart.
The Zheng family intends to marry Zheng Zi into the royal palace, and after Ji Xiaotang clearly rejected Zheng Gui, Zheng Zi's act of taking the initiative to make friends with Gu Xueer is very thought-provoking.
In Deyue Tower, Madam Cheng could not leave Ji Xiaotang's side. Ji Xiaotang ordered other girls to look at Gu Xueer. But Gu Xueer's identity is half-master and half-guest. If she is forced, what will happen? And in such an occasion, it will be quite difficult for the girls.
When Gu Xueer first went to change clothes, she "studied" to meet Zheng Zi.¢£,
"...It was Miss Zhou who was careful and followed Miss Xueer without leaving any steps." So, Zheng Zi and Gu Xueer met for the first time and did not have the chance to say anything, but Zheng Zi took the opportunity to express her "appreciation" of Gu Xueer.
Then, Gu Xueer went to visit Zheng Zi to speak.
"Miss Xue'er said a lot of ugly things. Miss Zhou heard it, and she didn't argue with Miss Xue'er. She still followed Miss Xue'er in an endless way."
So, through Mama Cheng's narration, Ji Xiaotang knew the entire content of the conversation between Zheng Zi and Gu Xueer.
The conversation between the two and Zhou Nianhong was present, so naturally there was nothing out of the ordinary. Zheng Zi asked Gu Xueer's identity clearly. Gu Xueer emphasized in front of Zheng Zi that she was Ji Xiaotang's cousin and the only drop of blood left by the old lady Ji's family. She also told Zheng Zi that she and Ji Xiaotang grew up together.
"When did she grow up with me?" Ji Xiaotang said.
"Miss Xue'er has also learned a lot of scheming. When she said this, she naturally realized that the reason why Miss Zheng approached her was because of you, the county lord." Madam Cheng said.
Ji Xiaotang nodded. Gu Xueer said this, on the one hand, to raise her identity, and on the other hand, to see Zheng Zi’s intention and to suit her preferences.
"She has always had many tricks like this." Ji Xiaotang said lightly, "Is there anything else?"
Apart from that, there is nothing else to say.
"It's a blessing for Miss Zhou, otherwise, who knows what Miss Xue'er would say and do?"
Ji Xiaotang nodded, and she observed it secretly, and felt that Zhou Nianhong was a backbone and knew how to be grateful.
"Madam, have you thanked Miss Zhou on my behalf?"
"Of course I thanked her. Miss Zhou also said that she had caused a lot of trouble to the county lord and felt deeply grateful for the county lord's grace. The county lord treated her as a friend, which made her heart more touched than giving her a lot of gold and silver rulers." Madam Cheng smiled.
"Well," Ji Xiaotang nodded, and then ordered the people who served in the room. "Miss Zhou lives in our house, and it is inevitable that the powerful people will treat them in a slow way openly and secretly. Be careful. If it appears, let me know."
Jin'er, Xiu'er and others agreed.
After breakfast, Ji Xiaotang first went to Jinghua Hall to meet Mrs. Ji Er, and said this, and then came to Xuanhua Hall with Mrs. Ji Er.
Old Mrs. Ji had already had breakfast and was sitting on the kang drinking tea. Ji Xiaoyun and Gu Xueer were both here, talking about what they saw when Deyuelou yesterday.
Ji Xiaoyun didn't say much, it was Gu Xueer who was talking. When Ji Xiaotang and Mrs. Ji Er entered the door, Gu Xueer was talking about Zheng Zi.
"...the whole body is so elegant, but the person is very kind..."
Seeing Ji Xiaotang and Mrs. Ji Er come, Gu Xueer stopped talking.
"Just be happy with you all." Old Mrs. Ji said with a smile, and let Mrs. Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang sit down.
Everyone started talking about family matters, and Ji Xiaotang gave Ji Xiaoyun a wink.
Ji Xiaoyun understood and found an excuse to take Gu Xueer out.
Gu Xueer was a little reluctant, but she didn't dare to violate Ji Xiaoyun in front of Old Mrs. Ji. Before leaving, she looked back at Ji Xiaotang several times, with her eyes very uneasy, as if she felt something.『≤,
Ji Xiaotang ignored Gu Xueer. He just waited for the two of them to leave before he talked to Mrs. Ji to the point.
This topic was mentioned by Mrs. Ji Er to Mrs. Ji.
"Old lady, is it time to organize Xueer's marriage?"
Mrs. Ji Er has never been a troublesome person, she said this. Old Mrs. Ji was shocked and asked Mrs. Ji Er what happened. She secretly suspected that Gu Xueer had done something indecent.
Mrs. Ji waved her hand when she was busy, so that Old Mrs. Ji could rest assured.
Old Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "What I said is that our door is rigorous and she rarely goes out. This shouldn't happen like this." Then, Old Mrs. Ji asked Mrs. Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang, "Is there a suitable candidate?"
"I'm right back to my grandmother's words. Dad helped me take a look." Ji Xiaotang took over the conversation.
"Oh?" Old Mrs. Ji was very interested. Gu Xueer was always her concern.
"...I am from Huojiazhuang, ten miles outside the city..."
Ji Xiaotang and Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er agreed to the candidate. Huo Erlang from Huojiazhuang. Huo Erlang's family is a ancestral flower craftsman. Many wealthy families in the capital are willing to take care of their business, and Xinhuatang is the customer of the Huo family.
Huo Erlang has been here to send flowers and trees several times. Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er had seen him. When he mentioned it to Ji Xiaotang, Ji Xiaotang was worried and ordered someone to secretly check Huo Erlang's family background and character.
The Huo family has small assets and are both honest people. And they are not stupid and honest, which is particularly important. Huo Erlang's brothers, Dalang, has married and lives together. They are usually extremely harmonious.
Master Ji Er once asked someone to secretly ask the Huo family about his tone, and he should be willing to marry Gu Xueer, and he doesn't care about Gu Xueer's past.
After hearing Ji Xiaotang and Mrs. Ji Er talk about the situation of the Huo family, Old Mrs. Ji pondered without saying a word.
Ji Xiaotang knew that Old Mrs. Ji thought the Huo family was a bit inferior.
"There is one thing that I haven't told my grandmother yet." Seeing that Mrs. Ji was like this, Ji Xiaotang had to tell Mrs. Ji about what happened in Deyuelou yesterday. "Grandmother also knew that the capital city was different from Qingyuan. If a slight mistake was made, it would be a disaster for the Ji family."
Old Mrs. Ji sighed and wanted to explain a few words to Gu Xueer.
"I know my grandmother's intentions, too. I just want my grandmother to think about it. Now we can find the families we can find in the capital and the families that my grandmother can like. Although the family is the highest, such families can be exquisitely calculated..."
Speaking of this, Ji Xiaotang paused for a moment.
Sure enough, Old Mrs. Ji's face turned a little darker, and Ji Xiaotang's words reminded her of Mrs. Ji.
"If Xue'er marrys into such a family, it may not be a blessing." Mrs. Ji Er said at the right time, "Although the Huo family is an ordinary family, the family is simple. If you marry Xue'er, you will never treat her badly, but you are afraid that you will give her up. Xue'er will be stable for a lifetime and continue the Gu family's bloodline. The old lady's wish will be fulfilled and she will be worthy of the Gu family."
"The Huo family has a lot of family resources and they don't have to worry about their livelihood. Even if there is something in the future, with grandmother and us, are you still afraid that they will lose food and clothing? Not to mention this life, they will have it in the next few lives." Ji Xiaotang said again.
She said this, which was a promise to take care of Xueer's future life and also to take care of Gu Xueer's descendants.
Old Mrs. Ji hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
"If I had known this, I would have liked to find someone in Qingyuan for Xue'er." Old Mrs. Ji said this, thinking about returning to Qingyuan for a long time in the future.
"This is nothing bad. If we go back to Qingyuan in the future, if our grandmother is reluctant and they are willing, we will take their family back to Qingyuan with us. Are we still afraid that we will not be able to place a family of two families?" Old Mrs. Ji nodded, and Ji Xiaotang was also very generous.
After all, it is the main thing to marry Gu Xueer safely and eliminate hidden dangers, and the rest are trivial matters.
After convinced Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji would talk about it.
Ji Xiaotang means that there is no time to go. This month, there will be a good day for marriage.
Old Mrs. Ji hit someone and called Gu Xueer. Ji Xiaoyun also came with Gu Xueer.
Old Mrs. Ji talked about the Huo family’s marriage to Gu Xueer.
Gu Xueer's eyes shot at Ji Xiaotang all of a sudden.
Before Old Mrs. Ji could finish her words, Gu Xueer cried and rushed to Ji Xiaotang and knelt down for Ji Xiaotang with a plop.
"Mr. County Lord, I know I'm wrong. I'm a stupid person. I've done something wrong. Tell me. I'll change it. County Lord, please don't mess with me."
Everyone in the room changed their faces.
The marriage that Mrs. Ji told Gu Xueer, but Gu Xueer ran to kneel down with Ji Xiaotang. She said such words, as if Ji Xiaotang could not tolerate her.
If it were in the past, if Gu Xueer didn't have to say anything else, Old Mrs. Ji would come forward to protect Gu Xueer, not for Gu Xueer herself, but for the Gu family. Gu Xueer is the only blood left by uncle Gu in the world, and the only relative of Mrs. Ji's mother's family.
But now Mrs. Ji is no longer the old Mrs. Ji.
