After shopping around all morning, the three of them returned with large and small bags.
Mrs. Ji was making gestures with a piece of cloth when she saw her youngest son coming back with his niece. He changed his stinky face before and started talking and laughing.
That's fine, but why is the girl next to his niece the one he's joking about?
Of course Mrs. Ji would not think that her younger son was interested in this girl. The master and servant, one beautiful and one ugly, were in sharp contrast. The beautiful one was still his fiancée. Ji Xiaowu didn't like to talk to her, so how could he fall in love with the ugly girl?
It's weird.
How did she know Ji Xiaowu's psychological journey?
When he learned that Duofu knew the mystic arts, he thought that Duofu was a red-threaded girl in the world named Maid, who was actually a heroine!
As for last night's experience, he also found a reasonable explanation.
Since Duofu knows mystical arts, it’s not surprising that he teaches his young lady! Of course, if he wants to learn, he needs to find the most powerful person.
Moreover, this cousin is so annoying. She teases him like that as soon as they meet her and acts innocent in front of her parents.
So, it’s you, what a blessing!
Duofu didn't know what was going on in his heart. Judging from the young lady's attitude, she didn't seem to mind her telling the fifth young master these things. Besides, she was a maid, so how could she ignore the young master talking to her?
So, when Ji Xiaowu asked a question, she would answer, extremely honest.
Mrs. Ji waved to Mingwei: "Xiaoqi, which color do you like? My aunt will make some clothes for you."
This was the elder's wish. Mingwei picked it up with great interest: "This is very good, and the material is not bad."
"Then make these two pieces. Take a look at the styles. The eldest daughter-in-law said this is popular among young girls in the capital. Do you think it's good?"
"It's very good. Auntie, help me choose it."
Mrs. Ji agreed: "Okay, that's it."
The old nanny of the Ji family looked at Mingwei with a smile: "My cousin is born well and looks good in whatever she wears."
At noon, the family had dinner.
Mr. Ji had his lunch at school and would not come back.
Ji Ling had something to do and went outside.
Mingwei sat down and ate without squinting.
Ji Xiaowu, on the other hand, had been eating all morning, but now that he saw the food, he had no appetite at all.
But if he refused to eat, he would definitely be scolded, so he reluctantly sat down and took a few bites.
Seeing how he was choking and rolling his eyes, Mrs. Ji became extremely angry: "Ji Xiaowu! Did you take poison? Does it look like this!"
Ji Xiaowu had no choice but to tell the truth: "I went out with my cousin this morning and ate a lot of food..."
Mrs. Ji said angrily: "I asked you to go out with your cousin for a walk, and you just focus on eating by yourself?"
Ji Xiaowu was a little confused: "I don't only care about myself! My cousin wants to eat it."
"You're still lying!" Mrs. Ji was furious, "If your cousin ate it, would he be able to eat now?"
Ji Xiaowu turned his head and saw Mingwei eating one bite after another, eating very gracefully, and he was immediately speechless.
Mingwei raised his head and smiled, and whispered softly to his mother: "Don't be angry, aunt, my cousin is always with you! The food in the market is delicious, no wonder he is."
Ji Xiaowu was stunned.
This doesn't sound wrong, but it seems to be a tacit admission that he is greedy and doesn't care about her!
"If you don't want to eat, go away. Your father will take care of you later when he comes back!" Mrs. Ji waved her hand like a fly.
Then the bowl of rice in front of him was taken away by his sister-in-law.
Mr. Dong also smiled at him: "Uncle, since you are full, let's go play with Zhu'er!"
Little Pearl, who usually doesn't like to eat, waved to him: "Brother, let's play together! Candy buyer!"
"..."
Suddenly I felt that life was gloomy and completely devoid of light.
When Ji Ling came back, he saw his little brother with a blank face, playing horse riding with Zhuer.
He was quite puzzled that this boy was so good today and didn't take advantage of the opportunity to play with him and run away?
Ji Ling first reported to his mother: "The house next door hasn't been rented out yet, but the landlord wants to sell it and move to another place and doesn't really want to rent it."
Mrs. Ji said: "Tell the landlord that it's fine if the rent is higher. If you don't rent it, it will be too late."
Ji Ling nodded and agreed: "Then I will talk to the landlord tomorrow."
The Ji family is so big, Mingwei's house is over there, and she has good ears, so she can hear clearly, and as soon as her brain turns around, she knows what's going on.
"Duofu, go and call your eldest cousin."
Duofu agreed and intercepted Ji Ling before he returned to the house.
"Is something wrong with my cousin?"
Mingwei walked to the window and talked to him: "My cousin wants to rent the house next door? What is it for?"
Ji Ling got along with her and knew that this cousin was an open-minded person, so he told her the truth: "Your people haven't arrived yet? Our house is small and we won't be able to live in it when we arrive, so my mother wants to rent the house next door.
, more spacious.”
Mingwei turned around, took out the box, opened the lock and took out the banknotes.
"I heard it just now, cousin, go buy it."
"This..." Ji Ling felt it was inappropriate.
Mingwei said: "I bought it for me. Although my fourth uncle gave me a lot of property, I have no roots or foundation in the capital. In the future, if I want to take care of these properties, I will have to add more people. I can't live without my own house."
."
Ji Ling thought it made sense and took it: "Okay, I'll talk to my mother."
When Mrs. Ji heard this, she immediately said: "Then buy it for your cousin. What she said makes sense. Now that we have arrived in the capital, how can we not buy a house?"
So Ji Ling went out to do errands again.
When passing by Ji Xiaowu, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Xiaowu still looked like he had not grown up. Alas, he even wanted to call off the marriage for his cousin.
How should I marry my cousin who is so talented?
Ji Ling shuddered as Yang Shu's face appeared in front of his eyes.
No, no, no, with his character, no matter how high his family status is, he won't do it!
Moreover, he has a reputation of being a wife-suppressant. Even if he is engaged in marriage, there will be trouble, so he must not get involved in it!
…
When Ji Ling came back, he had already signed a contract with the landlord next door and made an appointment to transfer the property to the government tomorrow.
That house has been rented to other families for many years, and the environment is not very good.
Mingwei discussed with Mrs. Ji: "Auntie, I want to live with you. Why don't we open up the two houses and let the servants live there? In this way, the outer courtyard can be renovated. Fifth Cousin
We can move there and live in a more spacious place. My uncle and cousin can also use it as a study room."
This was Mrs. Ji's original plan, and they hit it off immediately: "This is very good, and my aunt won't want you to live there."
So I discussed with Ji Ling how to renovate the house.
By the time Mr. Ji comes back, everything has been arranged.
Mr. Ji was stunned for a while, and said with a bit of guilt: "Uncle didn't do it well, but he asked you to pay for the house..."
Before Mingwei could speak, Mrs. Ji said first: "Why are you thinking about all this nonsense? It would be nice for Xiao Qi, a girl, to have a house nearby. Even if we have money to buy it, it would be better for her to buy it herself.
