Chapter 161 Brotherhood
"The third brother didn't come... Oh, what do you want to discuss?" Master Ji asked Master Ji.? August 1st Middle School
8?1?z?
Master Ji frowned.
Since Ji Xiaolian's affairs, his body and mind have suffered a huge blow. He resigned from his post at home and was no longer interested in the Feng Shui of the Book of Changes.
He was a little self-aware. His career had been ruined. As for at home, he had no say except for his own affairs.
Even in his own house, because Ji Xiaomu gradually took on the responsibility of managing common affairs, he could manage fewer and fewer things.
Although he was a little unwilling to give up, he could only sigh in secret. He was born at the wrong time and the general situation was hopeless. Zhou Nianhong was accompanied by him every day, and the children in Zhou Nianhong's belly could make him look forward to it. He rarely talks about other things.
But he felt that he could no longer be silent about Mr. Ji San's affairs.
Old Mrs. Ji spoiled her younger son, and Master Ji Er is more meant to be less than more. If he doesn't care, who else can control him?
"... My third brother went to sea. Although it was a trade, he was in accordance with the order. He was still an official, not a merchant, and it was also considered a matter of adding glory to the Ji family. I also know that it is normal for him to work hard outside, play tricks and bring a few women into the door..."
Master Ji Er looked at Ji Xiaotang after listening to Master Ji's words.
Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly, and Master Ji's words fell into her ears, which was a little unpleasant.
However, she did not interrupt Master Ji. She wanted to hear what Master Ji was going to say.
"But those women can only be concubines. The third brother should have three other matchmakers and six certificates. The right way is to marry a lady from a famous family as a wife." Seeing that Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything, he continued to say anything. "... He can't always float overseas, and when he comes back, he has to socialize seriously. How did those women interact with the noble ladies of high-ranking families? They have not scared them, and they are also laughed at by others."
"It is also harmful to our Ji family's family." At this point, Master Ji paused, "and his children are his flesh and blood. The Ji family will naturally be happy to see the inheritance. But to inherit the incense of the Ji family, it is better to marry another wife and give birth to it."
"Even if you go to the ancestors and ancestors to kowtow, those children are weird, I'm afraid that the ancestors will not admit it."
"This matter should have been decided by the old lady, but the old lady is old and spoils her third brother, so she can't think of this for a moment. I am the eldest son of my family. If I don't mention it, it will be unfilial. When I go underground, it will be difficult to see the old master and the ancestors."
Master Ji finally raised his affairs to the level of filial piety.
Ji Xiaotang had long expected that the Ji family might not be able to fully accept Mr. Ji San's wife and children for a while, and also expected that Mr. Ji would definitely be the one who responded the most.
However, she originally thought that Master Ji should have a more wink, instead of posing as the eldest son in front of her, it seemed that after accepting the wife and children brought back by Master Ji San, it would insult the Ji family's family and belittle the noble bloodline of the Ji family.
I have to say that Master Ji failed to achieve his career. There are always his own reasons.
The three brothers of the Ji family, Master Ji Er, are open-minded and tolerant, while Master Ji San is open-minded and unruly, but Master Ji is so narrow-minded and stubborn.
"I don't agree with uncle's words." Ji Xiaotang thought for a while, and said immediately without hesitation.
"Oh...oh?" Master Ji was a little afraid of Ji Xiaotang, not only because of Ji Xiaotang's current status, but also because of Ji Xiaotang's usual temperament and behavior. But today, he consciously took the right to take advantage of this matter and refused to compromise easily.
But Ji Xiaotang was not patient to tell him anything of justice and was not patient to discuss it with him. She only told Master Ji one thing.
"My uncle is from the Ji family, so his children are from the Ji family. No matter what their appearance is, no matter whether their mother is a foreigner or not. If others dare to underestimate them, I will not let them go. If our own family members also underestimate them, I will never rely on them."
Ji Xiaotang's words established the status of Mr. Ji San and his children in the Ji family.
"There is another thing, the uncle has the final say about the matter in the house of my uncle. Why did my uncle run overseas without hesitation? He is not for himself, but for the entire Ji family. So, I believe in my uncle." Ji Xiaotang believes that Master Ji San will never do anything to hurt the Ji family and the Ji family.
Ji Xiaotang said it simply, and Master Ji's face turned pale.
Mr. Ji Er nodded, and then he advised Mr. Ji with a kind look: "...There has always been a child of the father and the mother and the third brother's children, so it's the same as your and my children. Moreover, the old lady is still here, and she didn't say anything, so why bother us? The old lady is not in good health now, and it's too late for us to regret it if it annoys her."
Ji Xiaotang's attitude was very clear. Master Ji Second obviously agreed with Ji Xiaotang, and he also moved Mrs. Ji out. Master Ji knew that his words just now were in vain.
Although he was still unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to do anything about it. In this family, his words were no longer worth much.
Master Ji sighed: "I have said everything I should say, forgot, I am a useless person now, I have done my best to do my best. From now on, when I see the old master and the ancestors, I can only report it truthfully..."
Master Ji was complaining, and when he heard the sound of the door curtain, Master Ji San walked in from outside with big strides.
"What do you want to report to the old master and the ancestors?" Master Ji San stood in front of Master Ji and asked as he looked at Master Ji.
"Ah..." Master Ji was shocked. Obviously, he didn't expect Master Ji San to come in without reporting. "No, nothing, nothing."
Master Ji's expression was a little awkward.
"Haha." Master Ji San looked at Master Ji and sneered. He had little contact with this elder brother since he was a child and had no feelings for him. Later, after experiencing some things, he could not get closer to this elder brother or respect him.
Master Ji San’s life overseas made him more arrogant, and his murderous aura was not hidden in front of Master Ji.
Master Ji knows this younger brother. Master Ji San is not like Master Ji Er. Master Ji San is a vicious person who can do everything.
"I really didn't say anything." Master Ji saw sweat on his forehead and hurriedly asked Master Ji Er for help, "Second brother, do you say, did I say nothing?"
"Brother really said nothing." Master Ji Er said as Master Ji, which was to expose what happened just now.
Ji Xiaotang didn't want to see Master Ji San and Master Ji clash, so he didn't say anything.
"Oh, hehe, hehe," Mr. Ji San continued to laugh, "I seemed to hear a few words when I walked in. It seems that I heard it wrong."
Master Ji can't continue to do it.
"...You guys talked, I just drank two glasses of wine and felt dizzy. I'll say goodbye first..." Master Ji hurriedly left without waiting for Master Ji Er to get up to see him off.
Master Ji San looked at Master Ji's back disappearing at the door before walking to the chair beside Ji Xiaotang and sat down.
"Brother is still like this!" The meaning of the simple sentence is very rich.
"As long as you don't go out to cause trouble, everything will be fine. He has changed a lot now. Third brother, you really surprised everyone today. You are really. If you don't make a sound, you will make a big splash."
"Hehe," Mr. Ji San was still willing to listen humbly to Master Ji's criticism. "Second brother, this statement doesn't seem to be appropriate."
"What you did is right?" Master Ji Er asked back.
Master Ji San couldn't understand what Master Ji Er meant for a while, so he looked at Ji Xiaotang.
"Don't look at Xiaotang, I know that you have colluded. Xiaotang must speak for you." Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang got together. They had no principles or bottom line for each other's affairs.
"Second brother, it's not that I'm hiding from everyone, it's...I.... Alas, what do you say..."
Master Ji Er sat on the chair. Now that he had free time, he said all his thoughts in detail.
He had no intention of bringing these ladies and children back.
"...I have all been properly placed in the local area. Even if one day... I will never be able to return to them. They are cared for by their fathers and brothers, as well as the money I left behind and the property I bought for them, and they can live well with their children..."
"Why have you decided to bring them all back now?" asked Master Ji Er.
"Of course I thought that we all should be together, share the blessings and share the difficulties." Mr. Ji San said with a smile.
Master Ji Er stopped talking, and Ji Xiaotang became more and more silent.
"Uncle, why are you doing this?" Ji Xiaotang said after a while.
"They are people from the Ji family, which is what they should experience." Master Ji San said for granted, and then laughed again, "And I brought them back, but in order to take them to borrow the light of the family and the light of your sister, I took them to gain knowledge and enjoy the happiness."
Master Ji San made up his mind. The three of them looked at each other and understood their thoughts. Some words seemed redundant, so there was no need to say anything more.
"Since you are back, you have to make good plans." Master Ji Er said.
This is the major event he specially kept Ji Xiaotang and wanted to discuss with Master Ji San.
"Dad, do you want to tell me about enlightening a few children and letting them study?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
Master Ji Er nodded.
Ji Xiaotang smiled, and she guessed that this is the thing that Mr. Ji was most concerned about.
"I am not good at studying, so I will follow my second brother's arrangements." Master Ji San agreed very readily.
Master Ji Er did not refuse either.
"We have not many children in our family. If you bring these children back, each of them is very precious. You must teach them to study well..." In the future, you will take the imperial examination road, become an official, honor your ancestors, and protect your family.
"We naturally treat a few children the same way, but we must also take into account some secular vision."
Master Ji Er talked to Master Ji San very carefully.
The children of Mr. Ji San's children are too obvious in their appearance, which is much different from those of the Qin people. I am afraid they are not easy to participate in the imperial examination and become officials.
"Xiaorong's birth~ her mother is from the Great Qin Dynasty, and Xiaozang is also from the Great Qin Dynasty. These two children can focus on cultivating the path of imperial examinations."
Master Ji Er told Master Ji San that he planned to hand it over to Ji Xiaozang and Ji Xiaorong in person.
"Let them study with Changsheng. If the three brothers can pass the imperial examination together in the future, that will make our Ji family prosperous."
Master Ji Er is obviously full of expectations for the future of several children and is willing to do his best to do his best for this.
He said this, what else does Master Ji San refuse to agree?
Master Ji San stood up and solemnly saluted Master Ji Er.
"Second brother, then I will entrust Xiaozang and Xiaorong to you." The three brothers, how Master Ji treated him, how Master Ji treated him, whether he cared for him, whether he cared for him or not, was a clear comparison, and he saw the difference immediately.
"There is one more thing, I want to discuss with you, Xiaotang is here too." Mr. Ji Er continued.
"What else is there? Second Brother is just going to make the decision." Master Ji San happily taught his two sons to Master Ji Er. The future of the two children was guaranteed. How could he be unhappy as a father?
"Second brother, don't be too careful about this matter." Master Ji Er didn't say anything directly, but looked at Master Ji San carefully and said again.
"Second brother, what's the matter? Just give me the order. Xiaotang testified here, and I don't agree."
"That's right. For the sake of the career of the two children, I want to adopt them to my knees... Third brother, I know your temperament. Now I say you want to stay. Who knows that one day you can't sit still anymore and run to the sea again... The two children in my name will have a more guaranteed career in the future and will be smoother..."
As if he was afraid that Master Ji San would misunderstand, Master Ji Er explained to Master Ji San in detail.
Master Ji San did not answer immediately, obviously thinking about the matter proposed by Master Ji Er.
Ji Xiaotang suddenly understood that Master Ji Er thought about Master Ji San and his two children very thoughtfully.
"Why should Xiaotang be present? There is another thing to explain clearly. The two children have arrived in my name. I don't care whether you will share the property for them in the future. My property in this house is the share of their brothers."
