Chapter 66 Gao Zhier
Second update, please pink.∮,
...
There are many houses outside the back wall of Jifu Garden, which are the residences of the Ji family servants. Going further back, there is only a narrow alley separated from these houses, Yanda Hutong. The alleys are mostly houses with two or three entrances, and most of them live in well-off homes in Qingyuan County.
The house of Mr. Gu’s uncle is in Yanda Hutong.
This is a three-entry house, or when Mr. Gu and his family moved to Qingyuan, Mr. Ji gave it to Mr. Gu.
It was getting late at night, and Gu Lao'er came back with Gu Lei'er.
In the past, if the father and son came back from the village, they would have been covered in spring breeze, but today they seemed to be covered in frost.
Jiang was sitting on the kang. Seeing their father and son like this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"What's wrong with this?" Jiang asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with the village?"
"You still ask!" Uncle Gu sat on the kang and said angrily, and asked the little girl to take off his shoes.
Gu Lei'er followed Mr. Gu on the chair under the kang.
"I think my father's job is not guaranteed," Gu Lei'er said depressedly.
"What!" Hearing this sentence, it seemed like a bolt from the blue to Jiang. "Why can't you keep it? With the eldest sister here, who dares to take away your father's job?"
Qingxi Village has a very special significance to the Gu family. Although relying on Mrs. Ji’s private support and the Ji family, Mr. Gu’s family has no worries about food and clothing, but they are just food and clothing.
With Qingxi Village in hand, it is different. The family is rich and spicy, wearing gold and silver, and can still save a considerable amount of money in a year. In addition to money, there are also people who flatter and flatter, and are driven to call old masters and old ladies.
Uncle Gu has only been in charge of Qingxizhuang for the past two years, and the whole family has already tasted the sweetness, but they are reluctant to give up.
"Others don't dare, but my third cousin dares." Gu Lei'er said.
"What, what's your third cousin doing to take this job?" Jiang Shi didn't believe it, but was puzzled, and then said, "Then he can't ignore his mother."
"I am worthy of being the son of Mr. Ji." Uncle Gu had already asked the little girl to take off her shoes and the big clothes outside, and said sarcastically. "All the windings of our surname are. Our surname is Gu, so we are not the opponent of others!"
Uncle Gu is full of resentment.
He did not get any benefits in front of Mrs. Ji, although he followed Master Ji San back to Qingxi Village later, he could not change anything.
The father and son are nominally in charge of Qingxi Village, but in fact they are just two decorations on the village.
Master Ji San treated them very well, making people unable to pick out etiquette.
Uncle Gu and Gu Lei'er said one by one, and told Jiang what happened today.
"The eldest sister asked their brothers to keep a few words in it." Uncle Gu sighed.
"This is not possible." Jiang was anxious, "You should talk to your elder sister again, it's all clear. Let's live on this farm. If you don't care, how did the money get in our hands?"
"What else can I say?" Mr. Gu was anxious, "Can I still go and tell my elder sister that I will stop the third brother from going to the village. I can do my best to move the wheat to our house?"
Even if Mrs. Ji favors them, she cannot say such words clearly.
Uncle Gu was also angry.
"What should I do?" Jiang raised his hand in a hurry and scratched the kang. "The third brother was not the best person with you before, and he didn't care about anything, so why did he change his temper?"
"Who knows this? We come back this time and see that he is fine, but treating me inside is different from the past." Uncle Gu said angrily.
Today he also tried to get close to Mr. Ji San, and he wanted to take Mr. Ji San to "play" with his words. He listened to music and gambling like in the past, thinking that he could get closer to his relationship in this way, and made Mr. Ji San no longer have the intention to manage the affairs of the village again.
If it were in the past, Master Ji San would have nodded happily.∮, but today, Master Ji San sneered at him.
Master Ji San understood what he said. He had decided not to gamble again. If anyone dared to seduce him to gamble or lose his family, he would be incompatible with anyone.
"It's my enemy. My uncle doesn't want to be my enemy and the Ji family."
"What should I do?" Jiang was worried when he heard this. "I thought that my brother-in-law was gone, and the Ji family was the eldest sister. The second brother was not close to us. After these two years, he would have to go out to be an official. If he went far, he would not be in charge of the family affairs. There was only a third brother left in the family. This family would be almost the one who was the uncle."
But now that Master Ji San is like this, their wishful thinking has failed.
Not to mention being in charge of the Ji family, I will even lose the job of being in charge of Zhuangzi now.
"What can I do?" Uncle Gu sneered, "If the eldest sister is facing me, it depends on who she is comparing with. I can compete with his own son. The third brother is like the eldest sister's eyeball."
"Why did my elder sister change her mind? How many sons do he have, but you are the only brother. You are the one who passed on the incense of his old Gu family!" Jiang Shi was angry.
"Hmph!" Uncle Gu snorted coldly.
The family was frowning.
"Otherwise, call my sister back to discuss and discuss." Gu Lei'er suddenly said.
Gu Xiaer is the oldest among the three siblings, and she is very intentional.
When it comes to Gu Xiaer, Gu Laojiu and Jiang Shi both lit up their eyes.
"Yes, why did you forget? We still have Xia'er!" Jiang clapped his hands.
"Yes, Xia'er." Uncle Gu's face dissipated and he changed his smile. "If Xia'er's business is done, this little thing today will not be a big deal."
"If our Xia'er had a second wife for her second cousin, she would give birth to a son..." Jiang planned.
"The second brother has to talk to us!" Uncle Gu continued, "Don't look at the third brother, according to me, the second brother is still the head of the Ji family."
"When the time comes, let alone in charge of Qingxi Village, give us a few more villages, that would be the only thing that my second cousin said." Gu Lei'er also said happily.
"At that time, it was not just a farmer..." Uncle Gu crossed his hands on his trembling belly, quite confident.
"Our house is also small, and now we can live in a crowded place. After waiting for two years, Lei'er told his wife that he shouldn't live in a bigger house." Jiang said.
"I think...," Gu Lei'er smiled a little embarrassed, "If my second cousin went to be an official, I could take me with me."
"What are you going to do when you go far away? When he leaves, we have the final say in the Ji family's Qingyuan family!" Jiang said.
"It's still Lei'er's brain is good and has vision." Old uncle Gu laughed and even agreed with Gu Lei'er, criticizing Jiang, "What do you know, a woman? Those who say things from afar are majestic. Not to mention anything else, at least there are thousands of filial piety in the year."
What those people gave was not just silver.
The whole family was a little drunk with such a beautiful prospect.
After getting drunk for a while, Uncle Gu came to his senses first.
"That's all for the future, we have to take care of the moment first." Uncle Gu said, "I planned to find someone to make trouble in the past two days, so let's forget it for the time being. Xia'er's affairs are the most important, let's put everything else down first."
"If my sister wants to enter his house, she will have to hire thousands of dollars. He will be such a big official." Gu Lei'er said.
Compared with the money that is easy to get, stealing the grain from the farmland is nothing.
"Didn't you say you want to find someone? Have you found someone?" Uncle Gu asked Jiang.
"You need to urge me. I have already found someone, and it's Old Sister Song." Jiang said immediately.
"Is she doing things properly?" Uncle Gu was worried.
"Sincerely, he is a capable person, he knows everything. He usually walks around the streets and alleys, and he is a wealthy family. He gives the grandmothers, ladies and girls some hairpins and sweat towels. She can winks and speak, and everyone likes her. She can also say that she can match, she can also receive children, and she can cry... It turns out that the eldest lady of the Jiang family used her well."
"Didn't she have a son working in Jiang Qingshan's house?" Gu Lei'er suddenly said.
"It's her." Jiang nodded, and then said, "When it comes to Jiang Qingshan, my second brother's affairs..."
"Let go first, Xia'er's affairs are done, everything else is just a matter of one sentence." Uncle Gu waved his hand.
"Also, Jiang Qingshan came to beat someone today, saying that he would let you two go to his place if you have time..." Jiang said again.
Uncle Gu and Gu Lei'er didn't say anything for a long time.
"Who would have thought that he would be so unlucky!" Jiang said, looking at the faces of his uncle and son Gu, "He helped us a lot, so he looked at the Ji family? There is no need for us to miss him. In the future, it would be fine if he broke up there.... I said that his Jiang Qiaoer and our Leier are also a perfect match, so this is definitely not possible."
"Who said it was broken!" Uncle Gu frowned.
Jiang did not understand what Mr. Gu meant for a moment.
"Jiang Qingshan is not an ordinary person! He is a person with a lot of heart and eyes. He would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Don't you know this?"
Neither Jiang nor Gu Lei'er spoke.
"I'll take some time to see how Jiang Qingshan is doing in the past two days." Uncle Gu said with thought. Although Jiang Qingshan is unlucky, it may not be useless. "Hurry up and take Sister Song to see her eldest sister."
...
On this day, Ji Xiaotang and Madam Cheng went to Mrs. Ji Er's place to talk to Mrs. Ji Er, and then came out of Mrs. Ji Er's yard and slowly walked towards Yixiaju.
Just as he walked to a small stone arch bridge, he saw Jiang taking an old lady in the distance and heading to Old Lady Ji's yard.
A little far away, Ji Xiaotang couldn't see the face of the woman clearly, but you could tell that she was not from the Ji family based on her clothes.
"Madam, the shade of trees here is good, let's sit here." After walking across the arch bridge, Ji Xiaotang and Madam Cheng sat on a stone bench under the shade of the tree.
