Chapter 88 Motivation unknown(1/2)
The first update is to ask for pink.∮, it’s the end of the month, everyone is reluctant to leave if they have pink =  ̄ ̄=
...
If you just want to regain control of Qingxi Village, Mr. Gu should be reluctant to put down such capital.
"What else does he want to plan? He is too greedy." Master Ji San frowned, "The farm did not let him make money, because he was afraid that he would do something bad. We are not unwilling to help him. The father and son's monthly money are not a penny. These days, they have plundered the old lady from the hands of the old lady, and are there still fewer people who have been beaten and sent to him?"
Mrs. Ji gave all the private gold ingots to Mr. Gu, and this matter was known to Mr. Ji Er and Mr. Ji San.
"If everyone was content, the world would have been in harmony long ago." Ji Xiaotang thought.
"That's what you mean." Master Ji Er nodded.
Mr. Gu invited Ji's mansion to go up and down to eat birthday wine, and he must have made some plans. However, this birthday wine must be eaten.
"At that time, he can only act according to the opportunity, and he can't make much trouble." Master Ji San said. Now he has some experience, but his temperament is not as calm as Master Ji Er, but he is even more sharp. In dealing with Uncle Gu, Master Ji San believes that he is still confident.
"It's better to be more careful," Ji Xiaotang's thoughts are more detailed. "The Gu family and the Jiang family have had a close relationship recently."
Master Ji Er and Master Ji San both nodded.
Compared to Mr. Gu, Jiang Qingshan is more difficult to deal with.
Within a few days, it was Mr. Gu’s birthday.
Except for Mrs. Ji Er, who was pregnant, was inconvenient to go out, so she stayed to visit her home. The rest of the Ji family were all cleaned up and came to the banquet through Yandai Hutong.
Because Mr. Gu’s home is narrow after all, no one brings many people to serve. Mrs. Ji only brought the big girl Shaoyao and Mudan, and two little girls whom he ordered. Mr. Ji Er and Mr. Ji San each brought two servants. Ji Xiaoyun only brought the big girl Dingxiang, and Ji Xiaotang brought the big girl Jiner.
Ji Xiaotang originally wanted to stay at home to accompany Mrs. Ji Er, but in the end he came to Yanda Hutong.
Mrs. Ji was taken care of by Madam Cheng and accompanied by her confidant girls, so nothing would happen. But it was hard to say at Yanda Hutong. Ji Xiaotang was very concerned about what Mr. Gu was planning.
After entering Gu's mansion, Ji Xiaotang looked around. She no longer remembered whether she had been here in her previous life. This was the first time she had come in this life.
Although the three-entry house cannot be compared with the Ji family's mansion, it is decent enough in Qingyuan County, making it very comfortable to live in Gu Lao's family.
Uncle Gu and Jiang took Gu Lei'er, Gu Xia'er and Gu Xue'er to the door in person and led the Ji family and his group directly into the main courtyard to wait for tea to talk.
Uncle Gu sat with him under the kang and said something polite.∮ Although Mrs. Ji took care of her brothers, she obviously did not come here often. She looked around carefully and asked many common words about living, and her concern was beyond words.
"The kang is bare. There is also a red sandalwood marble kang screen in the warehouse behind me. I will be sent to you in the past two days. People who come and go will be more decent to put on it." Old Mrs. Ji said.
Uncle Gu and Jiang quickly agreed.
"Only the elder sister is thinking about us everywhere." Jiang said with a smile on his face.
"I'm just one brother in total. If you don't think about who you can think about. You should be more motivated and don't worry me." Old Mrs. Ji said.
Uncle Gu nodded repeatedly.
After talking about family matters, Old Mrs. Ji's eyes fell on Gu Xia'er.
"Xia'er, come and sit down at my aunt." Old Mrs. Ji greeted Gu Xia'er.
Old Mrs. Ji sat on the kang, and Gu Xiaer and Gu Xueer were talking with Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang on the couch.
When Gu Xia'er saw Old Mrs. Ji greeting her, she hurriedly got up and walked over.
"My Xia'er..." Old Mrs. Ji first held Gu Xia'er's hand and looked at it, "The better you are."
After looking at Gu Xia'er for a while, Old Mrs. Ji seemed very satisfied, so she pulled Gu Xia'er to sit next to her and asked Gu Xia'er what she did at home every day.
Gu Xia'er was dressed up today, and her eyebrows were very delicately drawn. Compared to when she was in the Ji family, Gu Xia'er's face and body seemed to have become thinner, and there seemed to be a little sadness between her eyebrows. Even so, her shy look seemed to be more charming than before.
People say that there are no ugly women in the eighteen years, not to mention that Gu Xia'er is not as beautiful as a national character, but she is not ugly and she is very good at dressing up.
"Didn't your parents feel wronged you?"
"My father and mother treat me well," Gu Xia'er said, "Every day, I only do needlework and thread. I made two pairs of sleeping shoes and two pairs of slippers for my aunt. Later, my aunt went to my room to sit and try to see if it fits."
"You kid, tell you not to do these rough work anymore, and you will be more careful and thicker." Old Mrs. Ji said with a heartache and looked at Gu Xia'er again, "...I've seen it lose weight."
"It's because of the bitter summer." Gu Xia'er said.
"This child looks like an elder sister." Uncle Gu said.
"The elder sister and nephew, Xia'er can be like anyone else if she doesn't look like her elder sister. Xia'er and I are with her, and no one says we are mother and daughter. Xia'er doesn't look like me at all, but she looks like her elder sister." Jiang smiled and showed two rows of yellow teeth.
"It's Ku Xia, it's time to get better. When I hit someone tomorrow, I'll give you some supplements, and you'll have a good meal." Old Mrs. Ji said.
Since Gu Xia'er moved back to Yandai Hutong, Old Mrs. Ji has never stopped delivering things here. () Even if Old Mrs. Ji sometimes can't remember, Ji Xiaoyun will remind you that many of the things she sent were for Gu Xia'er to eat and use.
"Thank you, my aunt, I'm always tired of worrying about me."
"Silly kid, I'll meet my aunt."
Gu Xia'er has been moving out of Ji's mansion for nearly two months. Old Mrs. Ji only said today that she would deliver things to Gu Xia'er, but she never mentioned when she would pick Gu Xia'er up to live in Ji's mansion.
If it were the same, Gu Xia'er might not have revealed anything, but Mr. Gu and Jiang did not look disappointed on their faces...
Ji Xiaotang saw everything and felt suspicious.
There was a guest outside talking.
"Who else did you invite?" asked Old Mrs. Ji.
"It's not an outsider." Uncle Gu hurriedly replied, "It's Qingshan's family."
Old Mrs. Ji said oh.
Uncle Gu and Jiang were talking with each other in the house. Gu Lei'er went out and took the person in.
The first one to enter the door was Jiang Qingshan.
Ji Xiaotang hadn't seen Jiang Qingshan for a while, so he couldn't help but look at it carefully. Even if Jiang Qingshan was not simple, such a huge change still left traces on him.
Jiang Qingshan lost a lot of weight, his cheekbones were supported on both sides, and his eyes became deeper and deeper. Today he wore a dark brown brocade straight-up style, which made him look like an old dress. It looked empty when he was wearing it now.
Jiang Qingshan was beaten to a yamen and has been raising it for several months now, so his injuries should be healed. However, Jiang Qingshan was not as thriving as before, and he was also leaning on a crutch in his hand.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Qingshan took two steps and immediately threw himself on the ground, kowtowed to Old Mrs. Ji, and shouted at Grandma.
If someone who doesn't know sees it, he will be considered as Mrs. Ji's grandson.
"Hurry up." Old Mrs. Ji didn't see this, so she hurriedly ordered, "You child, your health is not well yet, why should you do these false rituals? Can I blame you? Get up quickly, let's sit and talk."
Jiang Qingshan refused to get up, and kowtowed to Mrs. Ji three times before he slowly stood up with the help of Mrs. Gu.
"I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, so I don't show any filial piety. I'll kowtow a few times." Jiang Qingshan looked up at Mrs. Ji with red eyes. "I've wanted to go to the mansion to kowtow to my grandmother, but I... am afraid of adding bad luck to my grandmother."
"What stupid things are you saying, you are not an outsider, and you don't need to pay attention to those." Old Mrs. Ji said.
Jiang Qingshan immediately greeted Master Ji Er and Master Ji San again. He still wanted to kowtow, but after all, he was stopped by Master Ji Er.
"You are inconvenient, and you will be able to do it when your mind is here."
At this time, the little girl lifted up the curtain again, and it turned out that Jiang Qingshan was not here alone.
"Take them to pay my birthday to my uncle, and kowtow to my grandmother, second and third uncles."
The one who followed the little girl in first was a young woman, tall and slender figure, fair face, and agile eyebrows, but she was Jiang Qingshan's eldest daughter, Jiang Qiaoer.
Jiang Qiaoer is twenty years old this year, not born to Zhen, but to Jiang Qingshan and his second wife, Ma. She has already gotten married and married to Ma's cousin, which can be considered as a relative of her relatives.
When Zhen passed away, Jiang Qiaoer and her husband came to attend the funeral, and Jiang Qingshan stayed to help with the housework.
Jiang Qiaoer also held a four or five-year-old boy in her hand, which was Ma Yucai, the only son of her husband.
Following Jiang Qiaoer was Ma Wenhong. Ma Wenhong also pushed a wheelchair, and Jiang Xinglong was sitting on it.
Almost all of Jiang Qingshan's family have arrived. Uncle Gu and Jiang Qingshan's family are a good family.
Jiang Qiaoer and Ma Wenhong took their son to kowtow to Old Lady Ji first, and met Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, and then bowed to Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun.
Jiang Xinglong had two legs broken, so he could only sit in a wheelchair, resting his hands on his knees, and touching his hands with his head, which was also considered a bowing salute.
Old Mrs. Ji even said she was pitiful.
Ji Xiaoyun looked at Jiang Xinglong sideways.
Although Ji Xiaotang had nothing on his face, he was also very surprised at how Jiang Xinglong looked now. Ji Xiaotang could hardly recognize Jiang Xinglong. In just a few months, Jiang Xinglong became fat as if he was blowing. His face was almost twice as big as before, and the flesh on his cheeks was about to hang down, almost squeezing his facial features.
"It seems that the child Xinglong is well-raised." Old Mrs. Ji looked at Jiang Xinglong and said this after a while.
Not only is it well raised, it is simply "too good".
A person like Jiang Qingshan actually watched his son look like this under his nose! Ji Xiaotang glanced at Jiang Qingshan.
Jiang Qingshan didn't look at Jiang Xinglong very much. He looked at him occasionally, and there was nothing unusual in his eyes.
As soon as these people were increasing, the room seemed a little crowded.
"You girls, go and talk freely." Old Mrs. Ji said to Ji Xiaotang a few words.
Gu Xia'er stood up and led Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang to her room with Gu Xueer.
When Jiang Qiaoer saw it, she stood up as soon as she hurriedly.
"Old ancestor, I will accompany my aunts. If I serve you, please don't worry." Jiang Qiaoer said to Mrs. Ji with a smile.
Old Mrs. Ji was very happy.
"This is just right, you guys go."
