Xie Ruzhuo stopped when he was far away.
Hongrui asked doubtfully, "Miss, aren't you going to pay your respects to Madam? Why don't you leave?"
Xie Ruzhuo sneered and said, "All the uninvited guests have gone to mother's room, so I won't join in the fun. Come on, let's go see Yong'an."
Mrs. Lu will definitely go to Mrs. Qiao to talk about it, and I believe Mrs. Qiao will have her own plan to deal with it. What she has to do now is to wait for the Lu family to cause trouble. The head of the Ji family thought that the Xie family was too stupid, so she asked them to see if the people in the Ji family were really so kind!
After all, this evil person can only be punished by evil people!
"Sister-in-law, are you there?" Lu's voice came in before she entered the room.
Qiao Shifang took a sip of porridge and saw Mrs. Lu hurriedly walked in. She put down the spoon in her hand and said with a smile, "Why are my brothers and sisters here at this time?" At this time, shouldn't Mrs. Lu be joining in the fun with the old lady?
Mrs. Lu quickly cleared up Mrs. Qiao's doubts and said with a sad look on her face, "I just paid my respects to my mother, and I wanted to come and see you. You haven't gone yet, have you?"
"That's right. I came here from the accountant this morning to collect the sum. I just came back from work to have some food. I'll go there later." Mrs. Qiao smiled and asked Mrs. Lu to sit down. "Brothers and sisters haven't eaten yet. Let's sit together." Come down and have some."
Mrs. Lu was not polite. Seeing Mrs. Qiao's invitation, she immediately sat down and sighed, "How can I still be in the mood to eat? I'm almost full of anger!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Qiao asked doubtfully, "What happened?" Seeing that she looked unhappy since she came in, could it be possible that she had started a quarrel with the concubines in the room again
Ever since Liuyun lost her child last time, she has been throwing cold arrows at Mr. Lu these days, but that girl is also thoughtful and pretends to be weak in front of the third master. Mr. Lu also had a bad temper, and he got angry easily. He often fell into that girl's trap and got scolded by the third master.
Unexpectedly, what Lu said surprised her, "Does the sister-in-law know that someone from the Ji family is coming?" She didn't wait for Qiao's answer, and then said to herself, "Huh, they are quite ignorant, but A scholar who passed the examination actually brought his family to live in our house, and even tried to ask our family to arrange an official position for him. I really don’t know how high the sky is!"
The more Mr. Lu talked, the angrier he became. He picked up the tea on the table and drank several sips, then continued, "Sister-in-law, you don't know how difficult it is to do business. Nowadays, the Shen family is always against the Xie family, and almost all the money-making businesses are gone. They have been exploited all over the place, which has caused our profits to become less and less. Originally, the Xie family’s expenses were high, and now there are several more freeloaders. Do you want to impoverish the Xie family!”
Seeing that what she said was outrageous, Mr. Qiao frowned slightly and said, "My brother and sister are exaggerating. After all, they are relatives, even if they live there permanently, that is what the old lady agrees with. Why should I be so angry? It's just that this scholar is indeed a bit low. Do you know what kind of official position the Ji family man wants?"
"I don't know about this. I haven't even met that Ji Yanzhang. I just went to my mother's place to say hello. I was so angry that I left without even staying for a moment. Fortunately, I even gave that girl a bracelet. Bah, I should have known they were You came here to eat and drink, but I won’t give it away!” Mrs. Lu touched her wrist, feeling a little sorry for the bracelet. Although it was a defective product, it was bought with money.
Mrs. Qiao nodded to show that she knew about this and said, "Since there is a visitor from my mother's place, I should also go and greet him. I can't lose my etiquette." With that, Mrs. Qiao was about to get up and change clothes.
But Mrs. Lu stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, the harvest in my shop this month is not good. I'm afraid I can't take care of Ji's family's food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Xie family."
Qiao finally understood her purpose and said, "Let's discuss this later. I'll ask mother what she wants."
"Sister-in-law can discuss it anytime she wants, but I'm just saying this because the third room can't afford any extra money." As she said that, she thought of another thing, and then said, "Oh, that's right. And for the expenses that Ji Yanzhang arranged for his official position, my third bedroom will not pay any of it. Sister-in-law, you can just take care of it. I'll leave first."
After saying these words, Ms. Lu put down her tea cup and left. Bizhi was so angry that she pointed at her back and scolded her, "On weekdays, I just do all those things that are just for the sake of glory. But when something serious happens, He will be able to speak harshly!"
But Mr. Lu had already gone out and could not hear these words. It was Cuiliu who patted her hand and said, "Keep your voice down, let the third lady hear you, and you will have to find fault with our lady again."
Mrs. Qiao said lightly, "She has nowhere to vent her anger, so she came to me. Regardless of her, the old lady must have her own ideas about this matter. When the time comes, it will really be the turn of the people in the third room to pay, which room You can’t even run away.”
At noon, Xie Ruzhuo was practicing calligraphy with Xie Huailin in his room, when he saw the bead curtain lifted and a man walked in.
When Xie Huainan saw the serious look of the two of them, he smiled and said, "You are becoming more and more presentable now. How many words have you learned?" After saying that, Xie Huainan walked over and looked at the words written by the two of them carefully. He smiled and sighed, "This is quite a progress, and it's quite impressive."
"Thank you for the compliment, brother." Xie Ruzhuo smiled and asked, "Didn't you go out with Ji Yanzhang? Why are you back so early?" She also heard about it when she went to Xie Huailin's courtyard, saying that Xie Huainan was a freshman I had already gone out with this distant cousin to post.
Hearing this, Xie Huainan immediately looked worried and said, "This person's conduct is not good."
"how do I say this?"
Xie Huainan sighed and said, "When I went there in the morning, Ji Yanzhang was asking grandma for help in finding an official position. Grandma didn't refute. She just said that he could want to be an official, but it depends on his ability. Ji Yanzhang He was sharpening his knife and insisted on going to pay homage to his subordinates today, so grandma asked me to accompany him. However, after this morning's trip, he actually turned a blind eye to Qingshui Yamen, and squeezed in whenever he saw a good job that could be exploited. , which shows this person’s character.”
Xie Ruzhuo was not surprised by this. In his previous life, wasn't that what Ji Yanzhang was like! In his previous life, Ji Yanzhang, under the control of the Xie family, successfully entered the Ministry of Household Affairs as an official. Although his position was not high, he was a fat job. At that time, Ji Yanzhang was holding the banner of the Xie family and often did evil and opportunistic things. Later, after the Xie family fell, Ji Yanzhang, in order to climb up the ladder, actually took the lead in enumerating the Xie family's ten major crimes, and a memorial was presented to Xiao Junhan's desk!
Even if he is such an ungrateful person, there is nothing he can't do. It's just thanks to the old lady's kindness in loving him.
"Then what are your plans, brother?" The Ji family will definitely help with this now, but no matter what, Ji Yanzhang will never enter the door of the Household Department in this life!
Xie Huainan had the same idea, "Since he is a scholar, after discussing with his grandfather, he can arrange a post-type position in the Ministry of War. Although the position is lower, if he is willing to be practical, he will be able to work hard in three to five years." Promotion is not out of the question. Besides, the Minister of the Ministry of War is an upright and upright person. With the suppression of this boss, Ji Yanzhang will not be able to cause any trouble."
Seeing that Xie Huainan had already made up his mind, Xie Ruzhuo immediately burst into laughter and said, "As expected of you, you are the eldest brother. He thinks things through very carefully." His grandfather would most likely agree with his eldest brother's idea. In this way, Ji Yanzhang would completely refuse to enter the house. Ministry’s idea.
But, "Brother, I have to explain this matter to my grandmother first, so as not to hurt your harmony."
"Don't worry, you are the one who suffers most from me. The weather is hot these days, so you should practice less with swords, guns and sticks. Look how dark your face is." Although Hu Weide is not here these days, Xie Ruzhuo He didn't relax himself, and he didn't fail in any of his basic skills and swordsmanship. Now that the sun is basking in the sun, isn't it dark
Seeing Xie Huainan making fun of himself, Xie Ruzhuo smiled nonchalantly and said, "What's the matter? If it's black, then it's black. I just don't dislike it."
"You girl, be careful not to get married." Xie Huainan rubbed her hair. Seeing that Xie Huailin's posture when holding the pen was crooked, he held his little hand again and said, "Yong'an, look at it, the pen should be held like this."
Xie Ruzhuo looked back at this scene of brothers getting married, and couldn't help but feel slightly that she had no intention of getting married in this life, and it was enough to see the Xie family live in peace and happiness.
As expected, Xie Shengli agreed to Xie Huainan's suggestion, and made a bluff at the Ministry of War, preparing to arrange a written position for Ji Yanzhang.
After Mrs. Lu got the letter, her appetite after not having eaten for two days suddenly whetted her appetite. She smiled and said, "I feel relieved now. It doesn't cost much to write a post, and it will definitely not cost the three of us." Fang helped."
Xie Rulan disagreed and said, "Mother, since Ji Yanzhang is not in power now, I'm afraid he won't be able to help his brother in the future." This post took three to five years to come to an end. Xie Huaiyang is now eager for success, and Xie Shengli can't He asked for help and went to camp by himself. You can imagine the difficulty in this.
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu curled her lips and said, "You are worried for your brother, but this matter cannot be rushed. You don't even know what kind of character Ji Yanzhang is. He looks sarcastic. I can't Let this kind of person destroy your brother. Okay, you should eat quickly. After you finish eating, accompany me to that little bitch's house in Liuyun!"
That Liuyun seduced Xie Shenyan who slept in the house for three nights in a row. Did she still see her as the mistress in his eyes
As soon as she heard this, Xie Rulan was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. She just nodded in agreement.
The weather has been very hot these two days, and Ji can't bear it. Xie Ruzhuo counted the time, thinking that Mr. Ji was about to take a nap, so he cooked some heat-relieving three treasure soup and went to Zizhuyuan.
Jin Yu was guarding the door. When he saw her coming, he saluted softly and said with a smile, "Why is the Fourth Miss here at this time?"
Xie Ruzhuo raised the food box in his hand and said with a smile, "I brought soup to grandma. Is she awake?"
"Not yet. The old lady hasn't slept well these past two days. She just went to bed now. The fourth lady is really thoughtful." Jin Yu likes this fourth lady more and more now. She is filial and polite, and is more ignorant than the others. How much stronger. Not to mention the Miss Ji who just moved in. She is a master who likes her and has no rules at all.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't know what was going on in her mind, so he just smiled and said, "Since grandma isn't awake, I'll just wait in the hall."
Jin Yu agreed, and went to bring her fruits and snacks, then went to the inner room to wait on the old lady.
It wasn't until half an hour later that I heard the sound of getting dressed inside. Xie Ruzhuo was neither arrogant nor impatient, and still waited for Ji to come out with a smile on his face.
Not long after, Ji's slightly angry voice was heard, "Girl, you didn't let them call me when I came. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I've just arrived. I didn't disturb your nap, right?" Xie Ruzhuo stood up and went up to meet him, helped Ji sit down, turned around and poured a cup of heat-relieving soup, and handed it to Ji respectfully.
Ji took it and just looked at the color in the white jade cup. She liked it very much and said with a smile, "Four girls are interested. Just let them know directly next time."
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, they heard Ji Xu's voice from outside the door, "Old lady, are you awake?" Her voice was extremely sharp. If Ji was really sleeping now, she might be woken up.
