Chapter 74 Summer Heat(1/2)

First update, please pink.∮,

...

"Xiaotang, if you have time, please spend more time with your sister." Master Ji Er said suddenly.

Ji Xiaotang nodded. She was willing to be with Ji Xiaoyun as much as possible, but was Ji Xiaoyun willing? In the past, there were only two of them at home, and maybe they were even more talking. Now Gu Xiaer and Gu Xueer are here. Ji Xiaoyun is like a person who is good to Gu Xiaer, and she is even more reluctant to get close to Ji Xiaotang.

"I will do my best." Ji Xiaotang said to Master Ji Er.

...

In the evening, Master Ji Er talked about Ji Xiaoyun with Mrs. Ji Er.

"I'm a little worried about Xiaoyun," Mr. Ji Er told Mrs. Ji Er, "Xiaoyun is too simple."

"What did the master show?" Mrs. Ji Er asked.

"No." Mr. Ji Er kept silent about the matter of the library. It was not that he intended to hide something from Mrs. Ji Er, but that he did not want to make Mrs. Ji Er angry and worried.

"I've also realized the temperament of Xiaoyun," Mrs. Ji Er sighed, "I'm asking Madam Cheng to come to her house. What rules are the next, mainly for her."

However, Ji Xiaoyun's temperament seems to have been determined. Although she has learned all the rules and the likes of the girl and the like, she is still confused about human relationships and facts.

"I shouldn't have spitted at the beginning. If Xiaoyun had been following us..." Mrs. Ji Er did not continue to say it, but how could Mr. Ji Er not understand her meaning?

Master Ji Er sighed. He didn't expect that Mrs. Ji would teach Ji Xiaoyun like this.

Or in other words, Old Mrs. Ji was just pampering and pampering Ji Xiaoyun, but as for teaching, it was blank.

"The old lady's heart," Mrs. Ji Er smiled bitterly, "As long as Xiaoyun is in her heart and does not take me as a mother in her eyes, the old lady will be satisfied."

"Don't say that..." Master Ji Er said something a little powerless.

...

Old Mrs. Ji's upper room in the courtyard

Gu Xueer sent Jiang home and returned soon. Old Mrs. Ji was asking about Gu Xueer about the situation of Gu family.

"My father and brother are both very good, and they wake up. When they go back, they drink sober soup and go to bed. It's nothing, so they beat me back. My father and mother will bring my brother to pay their respects to my aunt tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Ji was relieved.

"Grandma, let me show you this." Ji Xiaoyun smiled and gave the words written by Master Ji to Old Lady Ji. "It was written by my father specifically for me."

Old Mrs. Ji couldn't tell the quality of her words, but she was happy when she saw Ji Xiaoyun happy.

"Why did your father write to you?" Old Mrs. Ji asked. ()

Ji Xiaoyun chattered about her and Gu Xiaer's visit to the library.

"I originally planned to write a piece for Aunt Xia, but unfortunately I was wet with tea. But my father said he would write another new piece for Aunt Xia."

"That's right?" Old Mrs. Ji looked at Gu Xiaer.

"Yes." Gu Xia'er agreed with a smile, "I was originally with Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun just got the word "I don't matter" mine."

"Why doesn't it matter?" Ji Xiaoyun immediately retorted. Her original intention was to protect Gu Xia'er. "Aunt Xia usually said that his father is a talented man and his handwriting is the best. If he could have a picture hanging in the house, it would be a glorious thing for the family. We finally asked my father for the calligraphy, but my father agreed again, why didn't he want it again?"

"It's a must." Ji Xiaoyun pushed Gu Xiaer gently, as if she was worried that she would not want Master Ji Er's word.

But Old Mrs. Ji knew about something that Ji Xiaoyun didn't know. Gu Xia'er suddenly turned red.

"If Aunt Xia is embarrassed, I will think about Aunt Xia. Next time I see my father, I will talk." Ji Xiaoyun said eagerly again.

"Xiaoyun is not afraid of your father anymore, and she dares to talk to your father and ask for something?" Old Mrs. Ji smiled.

Now it was Ji Xiaoyun's turn to be shy.

"It's still...thanks to Aunt Xia." Ji Xiaoyun said in a low voice.

Old Mrs. Ji looked at Gu Xia'er again.

"... The father and daughter of the second cousin and Xiaoyun should be close to each other in nature. But Xiaoyun is not by her side, so she is more unfamiliar. Don't blame me for taking the initiative. Xiaoyun and her second cousin are closer, and they can also get more love. The second cousin also loves Xiaoyun." Gu Xia'er said, and the redness on her face had not faded.

"Good boy!" Old Mrs. Ji shouted emotionally, "You are still meticulous and thoughtful. Thanks to your willingness to think about Xiaoyun like this."

Ji Xiaoyun is not close to Mrs. Ji, and Old Lady Ji is happy to hear it. However, Ji Xiaoyun is not close to Mr. Ji, and she is still a little afraid that Mr. Ji, so Old Lady Ji will not be happy about it.

"...You should go around your father more often." Old Mrs. Ji said to Ji Xiaoyun.

Ji Xiaoyun was also happy to receive encouragement from Mrs. Ji.

"I want Aunt Xia to accompany me. When I arrive in front of my father, I don't know what to say." Ji Xiaoyun said. She was just a person who was not very confusing, and she even thought about it in front of Old Mrs. Ji and said whatever she said.

"Okay, let your Aunt Xia be with you." Old Mrs. Ji nodded and agreed.

"I'm afraid... Xiaotang is not happy." Ji Xiaoyun suddenly said again.

Ji Xiaoyun's meaning is that Ji Xiaotang will become jealous because she is close to Mr. Ji Er, and Mr. Ji Er loves her and becomes jealous.

After hearing Ji Xiaoyun's words, Gu Xia'er suddenly lowered her head with a sad expression. "≤,

She was sitting next to Mrs. Ji, and her expression was naturally seen by Mrs. Ji.

Old Mrs. Ji had different concerns in her heart.

It was getting late, and Old Mrs. Ji beat Ji Xiaoyun. Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er went to rest, but she only leaned on the kang and closed her eyes to rest. Old Mrs. Ji thought about a lot of things, from Gu Xia'er to Ji Xiaoyun, and then Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang is good at everything, but only one is not good at all.

"Xiaotang, this child, should be in the same mind as her mother." Old Mrs. Ji murmured to herself. Old Mrs. Ji minded that Ji Xiaotang helped Mrs. Ji Er at the banquet.

There is also the matter between Gu Xiaer and Master Ji Er. It can help Master Ji Er know more about Gu Xiaer. Seeing Gu Xiaer’s goodness, it will be much smoother to propose marriage. Old Mrs. Ji knows her son.

It is hard to ask about this marriage now, and you have to wait for a suitable opportunity.

And this suitable opportunity will come soon, and Mrs. Ji has already thought about it. Mrs. Ji is sure that he will not be rejected by Mr. Ji Er.

...

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hotter day by day.

Ji Xiaotang accompanied Mrs. Ji Er on the couch at the north window, while checking the flowers, while listening to Mrs. Ji Er assigning family affairs to the wife in charge.

Ice basins were placed in the house, which greatly relieved the heat.

Mrs. Ji Er was asking her wife to send ice to each room.

"The old lady's share doubled, and both cousins ​​are there." Mrs. Ji Er said, remembering what Mrs. Ji ordered, "You will hit someone to send a basin of ice to Yandai Hutong today."

The Yanda Hutong mentioned by Mrs. Ji Er refers to uncle Gu’s house.

When Mrs. Gu came to Ji's house yesterday to meet Mrs. Ji, he told Mrs. Ji that the house was crowded and the house was hot, and he and Gu Lei'er were both caught in heat. Mrs. Ji felt very distressed when she heard this, and then called Mrs. Ji to come over.

Old Mrs. Ji told Mrs. Ji Er to give her some ice to Uncle Gu.

"I don't need the case of public servants. I'll get you money from my private room." This is what Mrs. Ji said.

Naturally, Mrs. Ji Er would not agree to accept Mrs. Ji’s private house. She only said that the ice bought at home was enough, so it would be fine to give it to Mr. Gu’s house.

Only then did Mrs. Ji feel satisfied.

After finishing the housework, the wife in charge was beaten out. The big girl Xiangxiu brought in two bowls of iced crispy cheese.

"From the future, I will put 20% less ice here." Mrs. Ji Er took the crispy cheese, glanced at it, and then ordered Xiang Xiu.

"Mom, there is not enough ice in the house?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"I asked the person in charge specifically, as in previous years, it was almost the same. However, this year the old lady needs to be more diligent in ice, because she is afraid that the home is not prepared enough and the outside is difficult to buy. Then the old lady will not be able to use it if she doesn't have to pay close attention to her hands." Mrs. Ji Er said.

The Qin that Mrs. Ji wants to get Bing is not what Mrs. Ji wants, but Gu Xueer.

Gu Xueer is fat this year and is most afraid of heat. She beats the little girls all day long to ask for ice.

The other is Mr. Gu’s house. It was originally time to arrive, sending one or two basins of ice to the house was enough, but this year’s situation seems to be impossible.

Gu Laojiu's family has been using various names to ask for things recently. Some of them have been hit by Mrs. Ji in private, but there are many of them, all of which are taken by Mrs. Ji Er's hands and money from the public.

"The old lady always says to use her private room, but how have she used her private room?" Recently, Mrs. Ji Er is a little impatient. Now there is no one else in the house, so she can't help but complain to Ji Xiaotang.

Mrs. Ji Er is not good at saying that her mother-in-law is not, but Ji Xiaotang knows some things.

When Mrs. Ji married into the Ji family, the Gu family was still a well-off family. Judging from the Gu family's family's family background at that time, Mrs. Ji's dowry was also decent.

However, it's just decent.

Later, the Gu family was defeated by Gu Lao's uncle, and Mrs. Ji privately supplemented Gu Lao's uncle. If it were only for her dowry, she would have spent all her money long ago.

It turned out that uncle Gu was in a silk shop or in Qingxi Village, and he was all kept by the Ji family.

Old Mrs. Ji's taking her private room was just a habitual sentence.

That is, a person like Mrs. Ji Er who is very polite and doesn't like to care. If she was a calculating daughter-in-law, I'm afraid there would be some bad words to be told. Is the Gu family planning to empty the Ji family?

"It would be fine if they didn't cause trouble, it would be just a matter of money." Mrs. Ji Er said again, this sentence was half sincere and half self-comfort.

Mrs. Ji Er yawned as she spoke.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Ji Xiaotang asked immediately.

"It's just like usual, but I always feel a little tired these two days. I'm afraid it's because of the many things." Mrs. Ji Er said, not caring about it.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Mrs. Ji Er was unable to rest for a few days, because June was the birthday of Mrs. Ji.
