Chapter 71 Festive Banquet(1/2)
First update, please find pink.∏∈,
...
Ji Xiaotang didn't move his chopsticks at first, so he stood up from his seat.
For a family banquet like this, Mrs. Ji Er needs to go through a formality behind Mrs. Ji, so Mrs. Ji should let Mrs. Ji Er take the seat. Not only the Ji family, but also other families are the same.
But today, Old Mrs. Ji seemed to have forgotten that she kept asking Mrs. Ji Er to serve her, and refused to let Mrs. Ji Er sit down.
This is still the case when there are foreign guests.
Old Mrs. Ji was clearly making things difficult for Mrs. Ji Er and was shameless to give Mrs. Ji Er.
Mrs. Ji Er took a gamble and said nothing. Mrs. Ji Er actually wanted to see how far Mrs. Ji could do it.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't let things go like this.
Ji Xiaotang stood up, but Ji Xiaoyun sat down without moving. Gu Xia'er glanced at Ji Xiaotang quickly, and then pretended not to see it.
Ji Xiaotang suppressed his anger and still smiled as usual. She stood up and walked behind Mrs. Ji and stood with Mrs. Ji Er.
"I'll serve my grandmother too." Ji Xiaotang took the chopsticks and made dishes for Mrs. Ji.
Old Mrs. Ji stopped holding the chopsticks in her hand.
Old Mrs. Ji wanted to make things difficult for Mrs. Ji Er, but she didn't want to make things difficult for Ji Xiaotang. It's okay to make things ugly for her daughter-in-law, but it's another thing to make her granddaughter ugly.
"Sister, are you still sitting?" Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ji Xiaoyun.
Ji Xiaoyun raised her head after realizing it.
Mrs. Ji Er had been serving Mrs. Ji without taking a seat, and Ji Xiaoyun didn't think it was abnormal. It was not until Ji Xiaotang stood in the same place with Mrs. Ji Er and called her again that Ji Xiaoyun felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that Ji Xiaoyun was still sitting in a daze, Ji Xiaotang simply went over and pulled Ji Xiaoyun up.
Ji Xiaoyun's eyes wandered, but she didn't resist. Her eyes moved back and forth between Mrs. Ji Xiaotang, and Old Mrs. Ji, and her lips twitched for a moment, but she didn't say anything.
Old Mrs. Ji put down her chopsticks, and the food she had just eaten in her mouth was no longer at all. The singing style that was so sensible that she had just listened to suddenly turned into noisy noise.
"What are you all up to do?" Seeing that Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun were standing beside her, his anger had probably eased. "Go back and sit down quickly. I'll serve your grandmother here."
"Oh," Jiang seemed to have just found that Mrs. Ji Er was still standing at this time. She wiped her mouth with a veil. "The opera troupe I invited today is so nice. I was fascinated by it. Why is my nephew's wife still standing?"
"Sister, you are worthy of being a wealthy family, you just have rules. Your nephew's wife is a filial person." After saying that, Jiang laughed twice.
Ji Xiaotang's expression remained unchanged, as if he just glanced at Jiang casually.∏∈,
Jiang was so gloating, she wrote down the trouble.
Jiang turned his head and saw Ji Xiaotang's gaze. Although Ji Xiaotang's face was gentle, Jiang fought a cold war for some reason and was immediately stuck. He couldn't say anything he had prepared.
Seeing this, Gu Xia'er hurriedly pulled Gu Xueer and stood up as she stood up.
At a table, only Mrs. Ji and Jiang were still sitting.
Old Mrs. Ji's face couldn't get off.
"What are you doing when you stand?" Old Mrs. Ji lowered her face, "A family is eating a meal and watching the show. I don't know, but I think I was deliberately trying to get along. Why don't they all sit there!"
"That's right." Jiang reacted at this time, and hurriedly stood up, but smiled at Mrs. Ji Er, "Mrs. Second, you are a lot of sir. The old lady is old and will have an unexpected thing for a while. Second, she just reminded the old lady."
"Look at you standing like this, the children can't eat well. If you don't know, you have to blame the old lady."
Jiang's meaning is not that Mrs. Ji wants to get involved in the trouble of Mrs. Ji Er, but that Mrs. Ji Er deliberately wants to get involved in the unrighteousness of Mrs. Ji.
"What are my uncle and old lady saying this? We blame our grandmother for not understanding this." Ji Xiaotang immediately smiled, "As long as my uncle and old lady know, our Ji family is a family with rules. My mother serves my grandmother, so she naturally refuses to sit without my grandmother's words. My mother stands, and my sister and I don't sit properly."
"Aunt Xia and Aunt Xue don't have to worry too much. Although my mother is your elders, you are guests after all."
Ji Xiaotang said everything was right, but Gu Xia'er's face turned red involuntarily.
If you seriously consider this kind of thing, it is not a glorious and decent thing to treat Jiang or the Gu sisters. Jiang said that he would add to the injustice to Mrs. Ji, and Ji Xiaotang would criticize Gu Xiaer and Gu Xueer.
"What's wrong with us sitting? It was my aunt's order." Gu Xueer was not as calm as Gu Xiaer, and then quarreled with Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang smiled instead of anger.
"Aunt Xue is still too worried. I didn't say Aunt Xia and Aunt Xue were sitting in the wrong place."
Gu Xia'er hurriedly winked at Gu Xueer. It would be fine if they didn't say anything about this. If they really wanted to care about it at this time, they would be shameless.
For a moment, no one spoke on the table.
A little girl came up from downstairs and gave a gift to Mrs. Ji.
"The second master and the third master beat the maid and asked, what's wrong?" Something went wrong upstairs, and both the second master and the third master Ji San downstairs were aware of it.
Old Mrs. Ji did not want to make this happen to Mr. Ji Er and Mr. Ji San.
But in this case, Old Mrs. Ji couldn't help but say that, so she glanced at Jiang.
Jiang said a few times before he understood what Mrs. Ji meant.¢£,
"It's okay, we are all fine, the second wife is not doing well." Even though she said this, she still showed her flaws.
Old Mrs. Ji glared at Jiang in awe of disappointment.
"Sit all, wait for me to get up and invite you to the table?" Old Mrs. Ji said with a calm face again.
Mrs. Ji's tone was like this, and Mrs. Ji wanted to continue to bet with Mrs. Ji. However, looking at the two daughters around her, she still felt weak after all.
It’s a good Dragon Boat Festival, and it’s time for everyone to be happy.
Mrs. Ji Er decided to hold back this breath so that everyone could have a safe and happy Dragon Boat Festival. She especially didn't want Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun to have any shadows.
Mrs. Ji Second bowed to Mrs. Ji, and then brought Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun into the table.
At the following banquet, although everyone was determined to make the atmosphere more harmonious, it was just on the surface.
Among them, only Jiang and Gu Xueer were happily eating and drinking.
Soon the banquet was taken down and the tea was changed.
Next, a little girl came up to report that she had both eaten too much wine and was going home first.
"Hasheng arranged for someone to take them back." Old Mrs. Ji hurriedly gave a few instructions.
However, Jiang did not leave, but just smiled and accompanied Mrs. Ji.
"I asked their two families to go to the house. There was nothing wrong with them. During the festival, I would like to sit with my elder sister for a while. The opera was very good." Jiang said.
Although the banquet was removed, the little actor on the stage was still singing.
Jiang likes to listen to operas, and he has a rare opportunity, so he is naturally reluctant to leave like this.
Old Mrs. Ji felt a little disdainful of this brother and sister-in-law, but she didn't say anything and just nodded.
After Uncle Gu left, Master Ji Er and Master Ji San downstairs also left the seat one after another. Master Ji Er also said that he would go to take a break if he had wine. Master Ji San was full of energy and took two jars of wine to go to the front.
Today, the martial arts squad arranged another table and invited a juggling team to perform juggling. Master Ji San had long wanted to go over and follow the fun.
"The third master asked the girl if she wanted to go." Master Ji San also asked the little girl Cui'er to secretly pass the message to Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang looked around and shook his head.
When Master Ji San got the news, he went forward by himself.
After a while, another manager from the front came to pass the message, saying that a scholar from the county had arrived and asked to see Mrs. Ji Er.
"I'm afraid there's something important to come to my door during the festival." Mrs. Ji Er stood up, accused Old Mrs. Ji and Jiang, and went downstairs.
Ji Xiaotang thought about it and followed him.
"Xiaotang, are you going to the front with your mother?" Mrs. Ji Er went downstairs and asked Ji Xiaotang.
"I'm still not going." Ji Xiaotang shook his head.
Mrs. Ji originally thought Ji Xiaotang was so angry that she wanted to leave with her. However, seeing Ji Xiaotang shook her head, Mrs. Ji didn't say much.
"It's up to you. If you're tired, go back and rest first." Mrs. Ji Er left.
Ji Xiaotang sat under Tumi stand beside him.
"Miss is not happy?" Xiu'er asked carefully with Ji Xiaotang.
"Xu'er, you've seen it, can I be happy?" Ji Xiaotang said. Today, Jin'er and Xiu'er have been following her upstairs for serving, and everything is seen in their eyes.
If Mrs. Ji makes things difficult for Mrs. Ji Er, she can't let go of the matter of temporarily, but the Jiang and the Gu sisters cannot let go of it anyway.
"If I can be happy, I will let them go and think that this is not the case. I am not worthy of being a child!" Ji Xiaotang said in a low voice.
After making up his mind, Ji Xiaotang whispered to the girls and then walked upstairs again.
Old Mrs. Ji was talking to Gu Xia'er, and she was a little surprised to see Ji Xiaotang coming upstairs again.
Old Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang carefully and saw that Ji Xiaotang was smiling, without any unhappy appearance.
"Why didn't you go with your mother? Why are you here to do? " Old Mrs. Ji asked staring at Ji Xiaotang.
"What are you doing with my mother? Of course, I will come back to accompany the old lady to have tea and listen to operas." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.
"Hmph." Old Mrs. Ji snorted in a low voice, "It's just a sweet mouth."
Ji Xiaotang just helped Mrs. Ji come forward to rescue the situation, and Old Mrs. Ji feels uncomfortable. But Ji Xiaotang is like this, and she can't do anything to Ji Xiaotang.
