Chapter fifty-ninth boudoir(1/2)

"Xiaotang also knows how to harvest wheat.∏∈,” Master Ji Er smiled.

"If Xiaotang wants to see it, my uncle will take you to see it." Master Ji San also laughed.

Ji Xiaotang looked at Master Ji Er quietly, and then looked at Master Ji San quietly.

The two brothers didn't laugh anymore.

"What's wrong, Xiaotang?"

"The uncle doesn't know how to harvest wheat." This is not a big deal, because the people below can understand it. "Is it really good to have been indulging him in such a way?"

Master Ji San coughed twice and went to see Master Ji Er with an expression like "I can't hide anything from Xiaotang in this family."

Master Ji Er didn't say anything for a while.

"I know that my father and uncle both looked at their grandmother and asked Zhou Ji's relatives to ask Zhou Ji. I have no objection to Zhou Ji's relatives, but this should not be like this." Ji Xiaotang said slowly.

Qingxi Farm is the largest farm in the Ji family and the foundation for the family motto of the Ji family to read and pass on the family tradition.

"Even I know, the harvest from the past two years is not as good as one-third of the past... Someone is already talking about it below. If this continues, the people below will definitely not be convinced. It is okay to have good weather, but once the year is not good, chaos will probably arise."

"Dad also taught me the words of saints: self-cultivation, management of the family, governance of the country, and peace of the world. Self-cultivation is the first, and then family management. My father's current behavior is very different from the way of managing the family."

As Ji Xiaotang said that, he stood up and walked to the small statue of Mr. Ji.

"Dad, uncle, do you still remember how you treated my uncle and his family when my grandfather was there?"

When Mr. Ji was alive, he took great care of Mrs. Gu, the brother-in-law, for the sake of Mrs. Ji.

However, Mr. Ji did not hand over Qingxi farmland to Mr. Gu, but only took care of a small silk shop in the city to Mr. Gu.

Mr. Ji arranged capable managers and accounting offices in the silk shop. Mr. Gu was just a decoration in the shop, but the monthly silver he received was extremely generous.

Mr. Ji's attitude was very clear, just to raise Uncle Gu.

In addition to the moonlight in the silk shop, Mr. Ji would also help Mr. Gu to make some silver rice from time to time. As for Mrs. Ji's private subsidy for Mr. Gu, Mr. Ji never cared about it.

"Dad, uncle, and grandfather's approach is very wise, so he should follow his example." Ji Xiaotang said.

Master Ji Er pondered.

He also wanted to treat Uncle Gu according to Mr. Ji's method, but Mrs. Ji refused.

When Mr. Ji was alive, Uncle Gu was still very honest and obedient. When Mr. Ji passed away, the Ji family was Mrs. Ji as respected. Uncle Gu relied on Mrs. Ji, and he was the uncle of the Ji brothers, so he was no longer satisfied with the life of only taking silver rice.∮,

Uncle Gu wanted to take charge of business and take charge of power, and he wanted more wealth, so he asked Mrs. Ji to take charge of the errand of Qingxi Zhuangzi.

Mr. Ji Er was filial at that time. When he was thinking about Mrs. Ji's new widow, he softened his heart and agreed.

"...I didn't expect him to be so greedy at that time." Master Ji Er also told the truth. Uncle Gu became more and more greedy. When he was in charge of Qingxi Village in the first year, the harvest paid was only 20% or 30%. Later, the harvest paid was gradually less than one-third of the original, but he didn't even want to be ashamed.

Mr. Ji Er knew that uncle Gu was greedy, but the Ji family was well-off. He thought that he could make Mrs. Ji happy, so he didn't take it seriously.

"A thousand-mile dike was destroyed by an ant hole." Ji Xiaotang said slowly, his tone was quite painful.

Master Ji Er was generous at this time, of course he never expected that the family would not have enough food in the future.

"I can't bear to see my uncle pointing fingers outside. He even spoke outside, as if we had no father, we should listen to him. He is the head of our family." Master Ji San said.

Master Ji Er and Master Ji San didn't care much about the money that was greedy for uncle Gu.

"Dad, uncle, look at grandfather." Ji Xiaotang raised his voice, "Our Ji family can raise pigs, but not borers!"

If Mr. Ji treated Mr. Gu as a pig, then Mr. Ji second treated Mr. Gu as a man who was indulged in the destruction of the Ji family's foundation.

Of course, Master Ji Er has not realized the seriousness of the matter yet.

Strictly speaking, Ji Xiaotang is a bit disrespectful to speak in front of Master Ji Er and Master Ji San.

However, Ji Xiaotang's momentum and what she said made Master Ji Er and Master Ji San completely have no intention of pursuing this.

"Xiaotang..." Master Ji Er pondered for a moment, feeling that he would say a few words to Ji Xiaotang, and then he suddenly changed his mind as soon as he spoke. "My son actually has such insight!"

"Second brother, Xiaotang, what should we do?" Master Ji San looked at Master Ji Er, then looked at Ji Xiaotang, and asked, "I'll beat someone and tell my uncle that he won't let him take care of the matter in the countryside?"

"My uncle will take over the matter of Qingxi Tianzhuang." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Okay." Master Ji San said immediately, "But I don't know much about the matter at the village."

"My uncle doesn't know what to be afraid of, as long as someone understands it. If we understand everything, we can still do whatever we do with our subordinates. As long as we know how to use people, we can use the right people." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Yes." Seeing that Ji Xiaotang and Ji San said something very well, Mr. Ji didn't interrupt.

"Xiaotang is right." Master Ji San agreed with Ji Xiaotang's words very much.

"If my uncle can't remember the person who can be used for a while, I would like to recommend one. ∏∈, which is the farmhouse on Qingxi Village when my grandfather was alive." Ji Xiaotang said.

"It's a pity for Tianzhuangtou." Master Ji Er obviously remembers Tianzhuangtou as well.

When Mr. Ji was alive, the Tianzhuangtou was in charge of all the affairs of Qingxizhuangtou and was the most capable and loyalty of the Ji family's several Tianzhuangtou.

Later, Mr. Gu took charge of Qingxi Village, which was above the farm. The affairs of Qingxi Village were still in charge of the farm. Mr. Gu felt that the farm was in trouble and was extorted openly and secretly, and finally the farm had no choice but to retire.

Master Ji Er did not treat Tian Zhuangtou badly and gave Tian Zhuangtou generous pension money.

"My uncle went to find Tianzhuangtou and entrust him with the matters in the Tianzhuangtou. My uncle was only responsible for supporting Tianzhuangtou and not letting my uncle make trouble, everything would be done." Ji Xiaotang said.

"When Lao Tian left, he felt angry and might have resentment. Now, he may not be willing to come back." Master Ji Er said suddenly.

"As long as my uncle goes, Lao Tian will come back." Ji Xiaotang was very confident.

Ji Xiaotang has an impression of Tianzhuangtou. Tianzhuangtou is an old man who is very loyal to Mr. Ji, the Ji family, and is very strong. If Master Ji Er goes to find him, he may even give him a second chance. But Master Ji San goes to him, Tianzhuangtou will not give him a second chance.

Master Ji San looks too much like Master Ji, and Master Ji San is too young.

Tian Zhuangtou will definitely agree to Master Ji San.

"I can talk to Lao Tian very well." Master Ji San said with a smile.

Master Ji Er nodded.

"Uncle, do you know why I proposed to let you take over Qingxi Village?" Ji Xiaotang said in a low voice.

"Of course, my uncle is capable." Master Ji San patted his chest and said, "Xiaotang, what did you say, don't you support you?"

"Yes, because of this, I can't hide it from my uncle." Ji Xiaotang smiled, "If you take over Qingxizhuang, you will inevitably have conflicts with your uncle. If you go to the housekeeper, you will definitely have many concerns. If you can't perform it, you won't have this concern. Another thing is also the most important thing..."

"Grandmother is angry. When she meets her uncle, she will always... be more gentle." Ji Xiaotang glanced at Master Ji San.

If Mr. Ji Er said that he wanted someone to take over Qingxizhuang, he would definitely not be able to stand Mrs. Ji's anger, and in the end, Mr. Ji Er would make concessions. However, if Mr. Ji San, things would be different.

Old Mrs. Ji is still angry, but what can she do with her beloved young son?

On one hand, there are brothers from my parents who have always been protecting me, and on the other hand, there are young sons who have always been looking at me like eyes.

"Haha." Master Ji San laughed.

"Xiaotang, I know if you don't tell me. I'm just going to go. I just said that I want to take care of Qingxizhuang, and it has nothing to do with my second brother."

"Third brother..." Master Ji Er felt a little guilty when he looked at Master Ji San's eyes.

"Second brother doesn't have to do this. To put it bluntly, one of us brothers is a red face and the other is a white face. It's all for our Ji family." Mr. Ji San said readily.

"That's it." Ji Xiaotang nodded.

The three of them agreed and Ji Xiaotang said another sentence.

"As far as I know, uncle Gu has been very close to Jiang Qingshan."

The expressions of Master Ji Er and Master Ji San became more serious.

Master Ji San was impatient and immediately wanted to take people to find Tianzhuangtou. Master Ji Er disagreed and said it was too late.

"Laotian lives in the village, and there are still dozens of miles away from the city. You go now, you can't come back tonight. Go tomorrow."

Master Ji San was unwilling to wait until tomorrow.

"I can go to Laotian's village in the evening. I will stay in the village for one night and come back tomorrow morning." Master Ji San said.

"How can the village compare to the family? You can only go tomorrow." Master Ji Er said.

"Second brother, I'm not a child anymore. This is not even a hard work. I'll get two jars of good wine. I happened to hear Lao Tian talk about the past in the evening." Master Ji San insisted.

Seeing that Master Ji Er could not speak, Master Ji San had no choice but to nod.

"Bring more people." Master Ji Er told Master Ji San, and called the young servant next to Master Ji San to give instructions in person, and then let Master Ji San leave.

Master Ji San went out, and Ji Xiaotang was still in the study.

"What else do you want to do?" Master Ji Er picked up a book and put it down again, "Xiaotang, you are getting older, in the future..."

"Dad, you have to be kinder to your mother." Ji Xiaotang said suddenly.

"Hmm?" Master Ji Er was a little puzzled. Why did Ji Xiaotang suddenly say such words?

"Dad didn't see it today. The uncle and wife looked at her mother with a little bad look."

"Don't say that, he is an elder after all... (Jiang is) irrelevant. What can she do to your mother? Your mother is the most generous and treats them very well."

Mrs. Ji Er can be generous in money, but she has never been generous in Master Ji Er.

"Dad, you know how grandmother treats my mother. She is willing to listen to anyone... The uncle looked at her mother with a scheming look. She wants to plot against my mother."

"You are so thoughtful... You shouldn't say this to your elders behind your back."
