Chapter 1702 Ji Jingniang
After hearing this, the chief steward of the outer courtyard thought about it and settled down.
"Go to the back house and tell Xiao Lin that if she doesn't want to be sent to Qingxiu, she can follow the boss to the countryside to trap poisonous insects." Mr. Ji went out after giving the instructions.
"Yes." Old Butler Ji went to the back house to handle the matter in person.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao Lin immediately started crying: "Mother Ji and the others' affairs really have nothing to do with me... I am not only Zhenniang's stepmother, but also her biological aunt. I was ordered by my family to take care of their brothers and sisters. How could I go there?" Harm them?"
Housekeeper Ji said: "Madam, you really don't need to say this anymore. Who is this master? Do you understand your tricks? Pack up your things and follow him to the countryside to lure insects. Otherwise, when he returns home, I won't be keeping you in custody." To go to the family temple to clean up is to divorce your wife on behalf of your son.”
He added: "The Lin family is not a powerful family now. Xie Baihu has made meritorious deeds and is on good terms with Qin Yingxiong and the grandson-in-law of the Guangcheng uncle's house. It is impossible for the master to offend the Xie family for the sake of a son."
this?
Xiao Lin was afraid and could only agree: "Don't worry, old housekeeper, I will pack my things and go to the countryside with you."
Only then did Butler Ji leave.
Xiao Lin was not willing to give in. She called her son and daughter and cried: "Your grandfather doesn't like me and wants to use other methods to beat me to death... After mother leaves, you two should be good to each other while Ji Qi is away." In the mansion, brother Qian should go to the shop more often to take care of things, and make friends with the princes of the government officials... The same goes for Jing Niang. Mom told you that if you have the chance, in short, you should work harder for yourself, and you will definitely win. I want to marry better than Ji Zhenniang!"
"Mom, don't worry, my daughter knows how to do it. When my daughter marries a high-ranking family, she will make sure Ji Zhenniang is good-looking!" Ji Jingniang was only fourteen years old, but she was raised crookedly by the Lin family. Every day she wanted to trample Ji Zhenniang under her feet.
Mrs. Xiao Lin wiped away her tears and praised: "Okay, okay, our mother-in-law is really ambitious."
But Ji Jingniang became more ambitious and asked: "Mom, who are the adults from the Three Departments and One Temple who came this time? Are there any young ones? The grandson-in-law of Guangcheng Uncle's Mansion must have a good relationship with Xie Cheng, he must be about the same age Not big."
Ji Qian said: "The adults in the capital who came here are all elderly."
Ji Jingniang was disappointed when she heard this: "What a pity. It would be great if Ming Shaoqing could come again."
"Jingniang, what do you mean? Do you want to climb these high-ranking families? They are all married and have children!" Mrs. Lin was not stupid, and she heard what Ji Jingniang was thinking.
Ji Jingniang argued: "So what if we get married and have children? When my mother married my father, didn't he already have Ji Qi and Ji Zhenniang?"
Then he said: "Isn't Grandpa partial to Ji Zhenniang just because she married a military attache? As long as I marry someone with a higher official position than her, Grandpa will definitely kick her out of the house and never use the Ji family's money to compensate her." !”
Ming Shaoqing is very good, but she can't go to the capital to seduce him.
There is a title in Uncle Guangcheng's mansion. I heard that the title will be passed on to Zhang Baihu's son. If she can get along with Zhang Yan, she can become the old lady of Uncle Guangcheng's mansion in the future!
That Qin Yingxiong is not bad either. He has made more contributions than Xie Cheng. He will definitely be promoted to a first-class official.
The Gu family fled from poverty, their family background is not as good as that of the Ji family, and the Gu family is still an ugly girl.
For God's sake, how can an ugly monster deserve to be a hero?
If Qin Yingxiong was given a high official position because of his meritorious service, she would tell her grandfather that she would definitely agree because of his grandfather's virtue of pleasing officials.
Ji Jingniang was having a sweet dream, and she would know that what happened to Zhang Yan and Qin Sanlang was all the result of Ji Zhenniang writing back to show off.
"Jing Niang, don't be confused. How can a young girl become a stepmother? My mother had no choice." Xiao Lin scolded Ji Jing Niang.
But Ji Jingniang didn't listen at all.
Mrs. Xiao Lin was worried and wanted to lecture her again, but Old Butler Ji sent someone to urge her.
Xiao Lin didn't have time to teach her any more, so he could only tell her again and again that she should abide by the rules and then left.
Ji Jingniang was disdainful. After Xiao Lin left, she asked Ji Qian to ask the elders of Sanbuyi Temple. Did they bring the young master? What kind of family is Guangcheng Bofu? What handle does Gu have? What does Qin Yingxiong like?
…
Mr. Ji knew that the children raised by Xiaolin were unreliable, but he did not expect Ji Jingniang to have such stupid ideas.
But at this moment, he didn't know that he was accompanying the adults of Sanbuyi Temple to check the accounts.
He guessed right. Because of Xie Chenggong and his good relationship with Qin Sanlang, the adults of the three departments and one temple were very considerate to the Ji family. They only did a rough calculation of the accounts. After three days of busy work, the Ji family The 10% tax for all shops is calculated.
Mr. Ji quickly took the money to the government office and asked the adults to count the money and put it into the treasury. After receiving the receipt stamped and signed by Sanbuyisi, the prefect and Tongzhi, he was completely relieved.
Other families were filled with envy when they saw that the adults of the Three Ministries and One Temple treated the Ji family with great courtesy and did not embarrass the Ji family with their accounts... The accounts of their shop were calculated over and over again.
Not only that, but if they want the adults from the three departments and one temple to stamp and sign their receipt, they will definitely have to ask for it.
"It's good to have a grandson-in-law who has made great achievements. Look how powerful he is. He doesn't even have to pretend to be a grandson in front of the adults. He can handle such a big thing in three days that if he doesn't get it right, he will be exterminated. alright."
These are the sentiments expressed by all the gentlemen in Linhe Prefecture. They are very envious of the Ji family.
Because of this and the matter of the insect attractant, some noble families and noble families who looked down on the Ji family as being low-income merchants for generations, and even some aristocratic families, began to send people to send greetings to the Ji family.
Mr. Ji was very happy when he saw these posts coming in, but he did not stay in Linhe Mansion for a long time. Instead, he went to the Xie family in Yujiang County to apologize to the Xie family.
"It's because the Ji family didn't teach Zhen Niang well. That girl was so ignorant and caused trouble for the in-laws. I apologize to you." Mr. Ji was able to bend and stretch, and personally apologized to Mr. Xie and his wife.
"My in-laws, you can't do this!" Father Xie hurriedly supported Mr. Ji: "Although Brother Cheng's daughter-in-law has some faults, she is right in justice. My in-laws should not do this."
They were Xie Cheng's parents, but Mr. Ji was Ji Zhenniang's grandfather, a generation older than them. He came to apologize to them in person. They couldn't hold back, either emotionally or rationally, and had to treat him with respect.
Xie Lao Niang also said: "My dear old man, you don't have to do this..."
When Mrs. Xie saw that Mr. Ji came to apologize in person, she was very sincere and said frankly: "I really didn't like Zhenniang before, and I thought about becoming a brother and making peace with her. But now I don't have such an idea. Zhenniang is the only one." The delicate and squeamish rich lady is willing to follow Brother Cheng to the northwest to suffer hardships, and she has endured the hardships, and has also untied her knot in her heart. She is willing to live a good life with Brother Cheng, and I have no resentment whatsoever. .Now I just hope that they are well and return home safely."
Auntie Xie wrote a letter, saying that Zhenniang is no longer alienated from brother Cheng, and the relationship between the two has improved. It is estimated that after the war is over, the Xie family will be able to have a baby!
Mrs. Xie cried with joy after reading the letter. Cheng Geer, a silly boy, finally managed to see the moonlight after the clouds cleared.
When Mr. Ji heard this, he was really moved: "I really admire the Xie family's family tradition. Zhen Niang is so ignorant, how can you treat her like this... She can marry into the Xie family, she has been cultivated for several lifetimes." Blessed, I would like to thank the two in-laws for treating her well."
