Chapter 90 Quietly(1/2)
First update, please look for pink at the end of the month.『≤,
...
Gu Xueer's provocation was too obvious, which made Ji Xiaotang have a little interest in her.
The banquet was not long, so Old Mrs. Ji left the table first, and Jiang naturally accompanied Old Mrs. Ji to the house that was cleaned up next to her and talked and rested.
Old Mrs. Ji left, Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang stood up, and Jiang Qiaoer and Gu Xiaer were naturally accompanied.
Only Jiang Er’s wife, Jiang Xiaomei, and Gu Xueer were left at the banquet.
Although the food was rich, no one else moved his chopsticks much. Only Jiang Er's wife and Jiang Xiaomei seemed to not often have such a table. They were a little embarrassed in front of everyone, and now they are reluctant to leave the table.
"I'll accompany Xue'er, you guys go first." Jiang Er's wife introduced Gu Xue'er as an excuse.
Gu Xueer sat on the chair, her body seemed a little unstable.
Gu Xueer is drunk.
She wanted to compete with Ji Xiaotang for wine, but Ji Xiaotang refused to comment. Later, for some reason, Ji Xiaotang didn't drink much, but instead started drinking glass after glass of Ji Xiaotang's words.
Gu Xia'er accompanied Ji Xiaoyun and glanced at Gu Xueer. Everyone could see Gu Xueer's drunken look. This kind of Gu Xueer was obviously useless. Gu Xiaer frowned secretly, and after thinking about it, she no longer cared about Gu Xueer.
"Just ask your aunt to take care of Xue'er for me." Gu Xia'er said to Jiang Er's wife.
Jiang Er's wife responded hurriedly.
Gu Xiaer and Jiang Qiaoer accompanied Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang to retreat from the table and came to the room where Old Mrs. Ji was resting.
In the room, Mrs. Ji had taken off her big clothes outside and was leaning against the pillow, talking to Jiang. The big girl Mudan was pounding the legs of Mrs. Ji, while Shaoyao was slapping the old lady Ji behind her.
A basin of ice was placed in the room, and a hint of cool air was spreading out, making people feel very comfortable.
Old Mrs. Ji was very happy to see that they all came over.
"Why are you here? I'm old and I'm afraid that eating too much will not make you feel better. You are young, so it's better to eat enough." Old Mrs. Ji said with a smile.
"I'm already full." Ji Xiaoyun said, sitting beside Old Mrs. Ji.
Gu Xia'er went over to accompany Ji Xiaoyun.
Jiang Qiaoer was also busy echoing and praised her good face today.
"I've gained knowledge, too."
Jiang was happy when he heard this, and at the same time he told me how much money it took to buy the materials for this banquet and how much money it took to hire a chef. The complete set of porcelain guys was not from Gu's family, but borrowed from Jiang Qingshan.∮,
There are also the maids and servants who helped deliver the food and serve them back and forth, and they are also from Jiang Qingshan's family.
"Thanks to Qiaoer for helping me cook," Jiang said.
"It's rare that you are a capable person." Old Mrs. Ji nodded.
No one asked Jiang Er's wife and Jiang Xiaomei, and everyone seemed to have forgotten Gu Xueer.
After sitting for a while, Old Mrs. Ji's eyes were a little unopened. Shaoyao and Mudan hurriedly spread out the brocade mattress, placed a soft pillow, and served Old Mrs. Ji lying down. Old Mrs. Ji was prone to sleepiness after dinner, so she had to take a nap.
"Xiaotang and Xiaoyun should also take a break," said Jiang.
Jiang Qiaoer hurriedly helped Jiang to put pillows and mattresses for Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang, and came over to help Ji Xiaotang take off his clothes outside.
Ji Xiaoyun grabbed Gu Xia'er's sleeve and spoke to Gu Xia'er in a low voice, as if she was about to go to Gu Xia'er's room.
Gu Xia'er began to hesitate, but nodded quickly.
"Xiaotang stays here and stay with your grandmother." Jiang said.
"My grandmother is sleeping, so just be with her uncle and old lady. I'll go with my sister." Ji Xiaotang followed Ji Xiaoyun to Gu Xia'er's house, and then called the girl Jin'er to serve.
When Ji Xiaoyun saw Jin'er, she thought of the lilac she brought.
"Where is Dingxiang?" Ji Xiaoyun asked.
"It should be still sitting outside." Gu Xia'er said. Today, in addition to the two tables in the main courtyard, the chairman also arranged a table in front to entertain the people brought to the Ji family to serve.
Dingxiang, Jin'er, Master Ji Er and Master Ji San's servants were all sitting in front of the seat, except for Mrs. Ji's side. The two did not go to the seat in front of her, but to enjoy the meal at the table, and the two ate next to her to facilitate the service and care for Mrs. Ji.
Jin'er had already left the table and came over to wait for Ji Xiaotang's instructions. If it weren't for this, Ji Xiaotang would have to use Gu or Jiang's people to find Jin'er, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be so convenient.
Jin'er is like this, so Dingxiang looks a little lazy. From the girl's perspective, we can also see the gap between Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun.
"Our girl felt a little uncomfortable today. When she went out, her wife told me very much." Jin'er was a clever person and explained quickly. She said this, obviously to relieve the siege of Dingxiang who was not present, making Ji Xiaoyun's face look better.
"What a master and what kind of girl?" Jiang Qiaoer laughed softly, looking at Ji Xiaotang's eyes became more and more different.
At the banquet, Jiang Qiaoer drank more than one cup for Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang smiled faintly at Jiang Qiaoer.
Jiang Qiaoer was a little flattered and cursed her way around Ji Xiaotang.
"Jie Qiaoer, go and rest. I'll have a girl here to serve you. ¢£,” Ji Xiaotang said.
"My third aunt asked me to be filial and filial. I rarely have such opportunities. It is my blessing." Jiang Qiaoer said with a smile.
Ji Xiaotang thought about it and stopped refusing it. While quietly giving Jin'er a few instructions, he then beat Jin'er out.
"Since that's the case, it's rare for me to come out, so let her go and scatter freely." Ji Xiaotang said.
"That's exactly what it should be." Jiang Qiaoer and Gu Xiaer both said.
A brand new pillow was placed on the kang, and Jiang Qiaoer lay down to serve Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaoyun and Gu Xiaer were also lying down opposite each other, and the two of them whispered in a low voice.
Ji Xiaotang's head was dipped in the pillow and closed his eyes, as if he was a little sleepy.
"I can't drink alcohol normally," Ji Xiaotang said. She was really not allowed at the table today, and she still drank a few glasses. The little girl, who is only ten years old, can drink alcohol, and now she is expected to suffer from alcohol sleepiness.
Jiang Qiaoeryue served Ji Xiaotang gently and slaps him.
There were also ice basins in the room, which seemed to be cooler than before. Ji Xiaotang said a few words at the beginning, and soon his breathing was stable and he stopped talking. It seemed that he was asleep.
Jiang Qiaoer asked Ji Xiaotang tentatively, but Ji Xiaotang didn't answer. Jiang Qiaoer raised her head and was catching the eyes of Gu Xiaer. The two exchanged tacit eyes.
Ji Xiaoyun fell asleep too.
Soon, there was a gentle sound of footsteps coming from outside. Jiang Qiaoer quickly got up and walked out.
Jiang Qiaoer came back after a while. She didn't talk to Gu Xia'er, but just made a gesture to Gu Xia'er.
Gu Xiaer also got up lightly.
"Xia Gu, where are you going?" Gu Xia'er was dressed properly and was about to go out, but Ji Xiaoyun suddenly woke up and asked Gu Xia'er in a daze.
Gu Xia'er was startled and turned around and gestured to make Ji Xiaoyun whisper.
"Don't wake Xiaotang up... Xiaotang is asleep, it's not good to wake her up." Gu Xia'er whispered.
Jiang Qiaoer, who was on the side, hurriedly looked at Ji Xiaotang. Seeing Ji Xiaotang sleeping soundly, she breathed a sigh of relief and signaled to Gu Xiaer.
"Where are you going, I'm going, too." Ji Xiaoyun also lowered her voice, sat up and was about to wear big clothes.
"I, I don't go anywhere, Xiaoyun, please continue to sleep." Gu Xia'er first said to Ji Xiaoyun, and then seeing that Ji Xiaoyun was completely awake and did not plan to sleep again, Gu Xia'er changed her mind. "Okay, let's go out for a walk together."
"Okay." Ji Xiaoyun answered happily.
Gu Xia'er helped Ji Xiaoyun wear big clothes, and exchanged another wink with Jiang Qiaoer.
Jiang Qiaoer seemed a little worried, and Gu Xiaer relieved Jiang Qiaoer.
She is confident that Ji Xiaoyun will not be bad.
Gu Xiaer and Ji Xiaoyun went out with each other. Jiang Qiaoer came to see Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang was sleeping soundly and knew nothing about what happened in the house. Gu Xiaer and Ji Xiaoyun left.
"Even if a child is smart, he can understand what he can do." Jiang Qiaoer whispered to herself, with a faint sense of pride in her tone.
The house is quiet and the yard is equally quiet.
The banquet in the east room had long since ended, and the banquet in the west room had just ended. The guests had eaten too much wine and were helped to rest. The yard was silent, as if everyone was asleep.
Soon, I heard rapid footsteps coming to the door.
"Is Miss Qiao?" A faceless servant shouted at the door.
Seeing that it was her who was looking for her, Jiang Qiaoer was worried that she would wake up Ji Xiaotang, so she stood up and walked to the door, pulling the servant aside to speak.
"Where are you serving you? What's the matter with clamoring at the girl's door!" Jiang Qiaoer whispered to the servant.
"I, I'm serving outside." The servant was stunned by Jiang Qiao'er's momentum, and he stumbling when he spoke. "Miss Qiao, your brother Cai was just playing behind him and accidentally fell into the well."
"If it weren't for this, how dare I do it?" The servant muttered in a low voice.
"What?" Jiang Qiaoer felt like a bolt from the blue when she heard this, and she held the servant tightly and asked, "When did it happen? Isn't it that I am with his grandfather and the one who serves?"
"Just just now, Master Jiang got drunk too much, so Brother Cai ran out to play with the kids in the alley..."
A family like the Gu family naturally has less rigorous access than a wealthy family. Moreover, people come and go today, so Ma Yuwen ran out to play and accidentally fell into the well...
Jiang Qiaoer suddenly felt anxious and sweating on her head.
She looked into the room and saw Ji Xiaotang lying with her back to her, as if these movements could not alarm her. Jiang Qiaoer saw Ji Xiaotang still asleep and didn't care much at the moment, so she grabbed the servant and asked him to lead the way and quickly went out.
As soon as Jiang Qiaoer left the yard, the west corner gate of the yard was gently opened. Jin'er came in from outside and headed straight for the west wing.
Ji Xiaotang had already put on his big clothes. When he saw Jin'er coming in, he waved his hand and didn't say anything. The master and servant soon left the yard without knowing it.
