Crying bag dressed as a little husband
Chapter 105
Compared to the commotion among the crowd, Ji Ling looked at the butler very calmly, waiting for him to announce the rest.
Seeing the noisy crowd below, the First Elder managed to survive by relying on his professionalism as a butler for so many years.Then I looked at the rest of the text on the paper, swallowed my saliva, and then read, "The eldest lady is virtuous and virtuous, she has presided over this huge Ji family tremblingly for me and for the Ji family for so many years. There have been mistakes. If I have an accident, the big and small affairs of the family will be temporarily handed over to the eldest lady, and will be handed over to the wife of his family after a suitable person is selected. Those who do not obey will be disqualified from competing for the head of the Ji family. "
If the sentence just now caused everyone's commotion, then the sentence read out now has pierced the lungs of many people, especially those aunts who usually rely on the patriarch's favor and gain face in front of everyone. At this time, his face was very ugly.And those smart Ji family sons turned their eyes to the eldest lady who started to cry after hearing the news, and then lowered their heads not knowing what they were scheming.
The nature of this article is equivalent to handing over the power of the housekeeper of the Ji family to Mrs. Ji. If it is normal, there is absolutely no such reason, but now Mr. Ji is only in a coma and has not died. It is unclear what happened that day. Miracle woke up.The people around were more or less vaguely involved. Originally, Ji Ling's election as the next Patriarch touched the interests of most people, but due to the authority of Master Ji, not many people spoke out. Now it is announced What they said just happened to make them reconsider, so no one interrupted them for a while.
"There is one last thing." The head steward didn't look at what those people with different expressions were thinking, just picked up the piece of paper, and then said the last one, "I have dedicated my life to the Ji family and died. , if misfortune happens in the future, I don't want to bring trouble to the Ji family. When I pass away, everything will be kept simple, and all my concubines will be dismissed, and they will make their own living."
As soon as the last item came out, everyone was silent at first, and then someone in the crowd yelled loudly as if they couldn't accept it: "Impossible, your stuff must be fake, how could the master do this."
Unexpectedly, the plot would develop like this. Tang Xiaobao, who had been listening there, was also stunned, and subconsciously looked at the eldest lady.I saw the eldest lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes after being slightly surprised, looked at the butler above with red eyes and said: "Master, may there be a typo here, let's take a closer look." Shude and the magnanimous wife in the main room performed very realistically.
At this time, the big housekeeper stood there, listening to their questioning, and said slowly: "This thing was delivered to my subordinates by the master. Even if I die, I will definitely not dare to fake it. If it is not possible, I can hand it over to the elders of the family." Let's appraise and see if this is true." After finishing speaking, he handed the things over to the elders who had been sitting in the back quietly watching all this, without any sign of guilt.
Seeing this scene, everyone below was looking forward to it, and they had all kinds of ideas.Even Tang Xiaobao was a little nervous, holding Ji Ling's hand and stretching his neck to wait. He felt that the things announced by Mr. Ji this time were very unfavorable to Ji Ling, and there was even something wrong there.But Ji Ling didn't seem to realize the seriousness of this matter, with a calm face, he reached out and patted Tang Xiaobao's shoulder to make him relax.
It's just that the result disappointed him. He saw those elders took the things, looked at each other twice, and then looked at them carefully, flipping through them several times. The elders discussed with each other, and finally the most prestigious elder said slowly: "We have confirmed that this is the patriarch's handwriting, and it is also his private seal printed on it. After discussion, we decided , since this is the last instruction written down by the patriarch himself, then we have to follow it. Do you have any objections?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Xiaobao opened his mouth wide, looking very unbelievable, and even looked at them with a little inquiring eyes.It's just that this expression was quickly hidden, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Mrs. Ji, only to see that she was still in a state of fainting at any time, and even when the elders announced that all this was true, the expression on her face Gratitude seems to be about to faint.Tang Xiaobao somehow felt that something was wrong, but he still couldn't tell what was wrong.
Before Tang Xiaobao could figure out why, the elder over there said the decision they had discussed, "We several elders discussed and decided that the next patriarch of the Ji family can learn from this generation's Ji family." The family chooses, but Ji Ling is still the primary investigation target. It will be for two months, and then it depends on everyone's actions, and the patriarch will be the one who can."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent, and then everyone accepted the proposal.Ji Ling glanced at the people around him, and nodded when everyone looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, looking very indifferent.
Seeing Ji Ling's calm expression, some people who were worried that he would make a fuss immediately breathed a sigh of relief.After saying hello to the older people, everyone left separately. Today's affairs still need them to plan carefully.Only before Ji Ling, who was walking at the end, left, intentionally or unintentionally, he raised his head and glanced at the eldest lady who was talking to the elders with red eyes, the look in her eyes was very inexplicable.
Back in the yard of the two of them, Tang Xiaobao sat there, looking very depressed.Ji Ling couldn't see him like this, so he came to his side, patted his head, and said lightly, "What's wrong?"
Tang Xiaobao looked up at Ji Ling who was very calm, and asked very puzzled: "Aren't you angry?"
Ji Ling looked at him and asked, "Why are you angry?"
Looking at him, Tang Xiaobao suddenly felt that he was being unreasonable. Ji Ling himself was not in a hurry, what was he worrying about here, but he still felt a little aggrieved after all, looked at Ji Ling and said, "Originally you are the next one appointed by your uncle. A patriarch, if you get it like this, you will have to compete with those people for this position again. And those people seem to not know, but let you join."
Seeing Tang Xiaobao was actually depressed because of this matter, Ji Ling didn't care, just stroked his soft hair, and felt that he was being touched comfortably, and rubbed it gently with his hands, gently Asked: "If I can't be the patriarch, shall we go home?"
Hearing about going home, Tang Xiaobao looked up at him, staring at his serious expression, he knew that the home he was talking about was the place where the two met back then, the Ji Mansion that was not as big as this but very delicate.Thinking of the days when he was there, Tang Xiaobao nodded without hesitation, and his mood became better, "Okay, let's go home." Compared with here, he obviously likes there more. If he can go back, even Ji Ling It's okay not to be the patriarch of the Ji family.
Hearing that Tang Xiaobao agreed to his words without hesitation, the corners of Ji Ling's mouth slightly curled up, looking at him with a very gentle smile.Sure enough, to Tang Xiaobao, the wealth of the Ji family was nothing at all.However, this is also good, so there is nothing to tempt him.But after talking to Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling still looked at him and said seriously: "Don't worry, even if I don't become the patriarch of the Ji family, I can still support you."
At this time, Tang Xiaobao was still immersed in the joy that the two of them would soon return to their own territory. Hearing this, he didn't care. Looking at Ji Ling's bright smile, he said happily: " It doesn't matter, I can support you. Even if I can't open a restaurant, I can still make some small pastries to buy." Then, it seemed that if I made that kind of money, I would definitely not make as much money as Ji Ling. At that time The expenses must have been reduced, and his face began to turn red, and he said rather embarrassedly: "It's just that, maybe I can't make you live so well, but I will try my best to make you eat well."
Seeing Tang Xiaobao's appearance, Ji Ling's heart warmed up, and he stretched out his hand to press down on his head, bending his head down, so as not to let him see the turbulent look in his eyes.Such Tang Xiaobao, how could he not like it, his tone was slightly hoarse, "Okay, I'll wait for the day you raise me."
"En." Pulling Ji Ling's hand off his head, Tang Xiaobao looked up at Ji Ling who was no different from usual, and nodded heavily, with a very serious expression on his face.
After everyone had left, the Da Furen brought her personal maid slowly to Mr. Ji's room. The originally very elegant room was filled with the smell of medicine, and its owner was lying on the bed right now. I don't know if I live or die in bed.Gently came to Mr. Ji's bedside, Mrs. Ji cleaned the towel with her own hands and wiped his face. Looking at the old but handsome face when she was young, she waved her hand and wiped the clothes in the room. People were kicked out.
After all the servants had left, the Da Furen slowly bent down, lay on the Elder Master gently, and said lightly: "Master, if our child is still here, he might be older than Ji Ling." Right. It's just that he still has no fate after all. You said that if you hadn't married that woman, wouldn't so many things have happened? Master, your mission has been completed, so go on with peace of mind. I'll let you see what happened to all the concubines you married in back then."
The eldest lady babbled on for a long time, but after all, no one responded to her, only the smell of traditional Chinese medicine echoed in the whole room.
Because of the coma of Master Ji of the Ji family, the eyes of the whole city were focused on their family. Not long after the rules for selecting the patriarch were announced, all the famous families in the whole city knew about it.Although they seem to be optimistic about this, they are secretly planning for their own families, to see if they can get some benefits by intervening in this matter.
Just when the entire Ji family and even the city seemed to be a little ready to move, Ji Ling, one of the most concerned people here, was very calm, even when Mr. Huang and Lei Ming hinted whether they needed their help. Always politely declined.Seeing that Ji Ling was neither nervous nor worried, Mr. Huang and Mr. Huang asked a few more questions, and then stopped worrying about it.After all, Ji Ling's appearance was too calm, so they felt that he could handle all this by himself.
Compared with Ji Ling's calmness and the state of mind of doing what should be done at this time, the others seemed less calm.
"Young Madam, I heard that many aunts are going to give gifts to Da Furen today." Lu He looked very excited as she looked at her master who was cooking comfortably.Ever since the young lady handed over her skills to the chef in the restaurant, and even handed over the management of the place to Jiang Chen, he seldom went there.Especially after the recent incident with Mr. Ji, he didn't even leave the house, focusing on researching new pastries.Thinking of those servants who used to be respectful in front of me, now they look like their masters can take over, and they feel very hateful, but their masters are not in a hurry, so what should I do if I let her.
Tang Xiaobao carefully adjusted the flour in his hand, put it into his special oven, then turned to look at his very excited little maid, and asked very puzzled: "They just go, what's with me?" Dry?"
Seeing his wife's confused face, Lu He gritted his teeth and said, "Young Madam, they naturally want their son to be the head of the Ji family."
Hearing Lu He's words, Tang Xiaobao suddenly realized, and then said indifferently: "Then let them go, didn't they all say that those who are capable will let them go? I believe there is no one here who is more capable than Ji Ling." If it doesn’t work out, then we’ll go back, it’s better than staying here.”
Hearing Tang Xiaobao's gentle voice, Lu He was startled, and then realized her problem. Looking at the young lady who was not worried at all, she found that she had overstepped, and her impetuous heart gradually calmed down. .Taking the things he was about to make into molds, he said with a smile, "Young Madam said, are we going to make pineapple cakes next?"
Hearing that Luhe guessed what he was going to do, Tang Xiaobao was very happy, nodded excitedly, and replied: "Yes, I found that my husband likes to eat this very much recently, so I will make more when I have time today."
The two master and servant began to work in the small kitchen again, and the movements of their hands appeared to be very skilled.
During this period of time, the hearts of the people in Ji's mansion seemed very impetuous, but Ji Ling maintained his own pace as always. When the eldest lady thought that other people also needed the opportunity to show off and split up the affairs of her subordinates, Ji Ling also behaved very well. Indifferently, he divided the things without hesitation.At that time, everyone was amazed. Seeing him like this, they thought they were doing something behind the scenes. It wasn't until they actually took over and found nothing unusual that they had a new understanding of Ji Ling.
No matter what others think, after Ji Ling divided the affairs of his subordinates, he had a lot less things to do and took a lot less time.After finishing his part of the work, he rushed back home with Feng Ling, first went to Mr. Ji's place to take a look, and then went back to eat the food that Tang Xiaobao had carefully prepared for him.
It's just that along the way, I met many concubines of the Ji family who were not very familiar at first, but now the people who were not very familiar started chatting with each other because of their own thoughts.
"Big Brother also came to visit Uncle?" That was Ji Ling's father's fourth concubine son, who could barely be called handsome, but compared to Ji Ling's bearing, he was still a bit short.At this time, he greeted Ji Ling politely, but it was difficult for him to avoid it. He nodded and gave him a slight signal, which was regarded as a greeting.
Seeing Ji Ling's indifference, the man didn't care too much, just looked at him and said with a smile: "I just came out from the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is not in good health at the moment, and it is not suitable to see people, I am afraid that the elder brother will leave in vain It's been a trip."
Ji Ling looked at the concubine brother who was not very familiar with him in front of him, and didn't know what he was thinking, until he stared at him uncomfortably, and then slowly said: "I'm here to pay my respects to uncle." Afterwards, He bowed his head slightly to his concubine brother, and then left with his servants.
After Ji Ling left, the man looked at his back and said disdainfully: "What are you pretending to do? Now the old man is like that. Even if he keeps paying his respects, can he see it?" After finishing speaking, he took the His subordinates have left, and he has other important things to do now, so he can't waste time on such things.
Ji Ling arrived at Master Ji's room unimpeded all the way, just in time to catch up with the doctors who came to see him, saw him coming, and greeted each other.Then he went straight to Mr. Ji's bed, looked at the person who was getting thinner and thinner lying there, and turned to look at the group of adults behind him, "Excuse me, everyone, is there any conclusion on my uncle's condition?"
Hearing Ji Ling's inquiry, the oldest one among those people came to Ji Ling unsteadily, and looked at him with a shameful expression on his face, "Master Ji, the old people are very ashamed. It can be diagnosed that the old man is unconscious due to some kind of toxin deposited in the body, but he doesn't know what it is, especially if it is a toxin. Now he can only prescribe some medicine to nourish the essence , I hope the Elder Master can last a little longer."
Hearing his words, Ji Ling didn't react at all, as if he knew it a long time ago.He bowed slightly to the doctors, and said respectfully: "My uncle's illness, I have to trouble everyone."
Those people were very polite, returned a salute to Ji Ling, and said politely: "Master Ji is being polite, it's the old people who are incompetent."
After all, the doctors went to discuss countermeasures, and only Ji Ling was left standing there quietly looking at the Elder, as if weighing something.
After a while, there was a sound outside the door. Looking towards the door, she saw Mrs. Ji coming with her maid, looking at the person who was still pale but more complex than the previous days, Ji Ling first said After saluting, he gave up his position.
Mrs. Ji stood there looking at her husband for a while, then turned her head to look at Ji Ling who hadn't left all this time, her tone was still as gentle as before, and she said softly: "You really have a heart, and you come to see him every day. Your uncle."
Ji Ling looked at the lady who couldn't see the expression, and replied very coldly: "This is what I should do."
After finishing speaking, the two of them stood there silently, and the scene was quiet for a while.
After standing for a while, Ji Ling seemed to realize something, looked at Mrs. Ji standing there quietly, and said, "Auntie, it's almost time, I should go back."
"Go, Xiaobao must have been waiting for you for a long time." Mrs. Ji explained Ji Ling's urgent matter with one word, and then turned to look at her husband.
Seeing Mrs. Ji not paying any attention to him, Ji Ling took Feng Ling and left, but before stepping out the door, he turned his head for a look.I saw the woman sitting in front of the bed looking at her husband very intently, with a very sincere expression, and there was no room for anything else in her eyes.The light was imprinted on her face, and it seemed that she could vaguely see the sweet outline of her youth.
For some reason, Ji Ling suddenly thought of a sentence, time can never erase those deep feelings.Thinking of this, the pace under his feet became faster and faster.
When he returned to his yard, he saw Tang Xiaobao, who had seen his return, jumped towards him very happily, came to him, and said happily: "Ji Ling, we will be able to go back soon. Yet?"
Tang Xiaobao thought about it for a while, and there is nothing good here except that the place is bigger, there are more things, and the streets outside are more prosperous.It's not as good as being comfortable on your own site, and it's not as good as making him feel comfortable on your own site. I don't need such a big place, and I don't like shopping, so it's better to go back.
"What's the matter, do you want to go back?" Ji Ling hugged the person who was running towards him, looking at him and asked very gently.
Tang Xiaobao nodded without hesitation, as if he was in his own yard, and he didn't feel that the posture of the two of them was so wrong, he grabbed his clothes and lay in his arms, and said excitedly: "Yes. , I want to go back, I thought about it, and I still think it’s better there. Or, let’s go back.”
Ji Ling stared at Tang Xiaobao earnestly, and found that the look in his eyes was very serious, it didn't look like a fake, as if he sincerely hoped that they could go back to a place that is not as prosperous as here.Ji Ling looked at his very moist eyes, just about to open his mouth to agree, but suddenly thought of something, touched his face lightly, with a little apology in his tone, "If you really want to go back , let's go back, but I can't just leave uncle and leave."
Tang Xiaobao looked up at Ji Ling, thought for a while, and felt that what he said was right, so he nodded as if agreeing.Anyway, he can be anywhere, as long as he is by Ji Ling's side. "Well, if you are there, I will be there. It is not good for us to leave the old man like this."
Tang Xiaobao, who lowered his head, didn't see it. Ji Ling, who had been looking at him, heard his words, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.
Soon, Ji Ling walked in with Tang Xiaobao in his arms. As soon as he entered, he saw a table full of dishes. It was obvious that the dishes were the ones he used to like.
It wasn't until he smelled the aroma of rice that Tang Xiaobao jumped out of Ji Ling's arms as if he had thought of something, and then came to the front of the dining table, and brought a plate of very delicate pastries to Ji Ling. He said very happily: "Look, this is my newly invented pastry. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Ji Ling looked down, and saw that the pastry was made into a fruit shape, and it was still exuding a delicate fragrance, which made it look very attractive.Under Tang Xiaobao's expectant eyes, he stretched out his hand and gently picked up one and took a bite. It was sweet but not greasy, and it was filled with bean paste. The portion was very small, but it was very tasty.After eating three in a row, he calmly said in Tang Xiaobao's expectant eyes, "It's delicious."
Hearing what he said, a big smile appeared on Tang Xiaobao's face, looking very satisfied.Then he put the pastry in his hand again, pulled Ji Ling to sit down, served him food attentively, and said calmly while Ji Ling stared at him: "I can keep that for you Eat it as a snack, let's eat now, not eating is bad for your health."
Seeing Tang Xiaobao's serious appearance, Ji Ling couldn't help but laugh, and then followed his instructions to eat.
The two of them ate very warmly here, and Mrs. Ji on the other side wiped her husband's face on a daily basis, talked for a while, and then politely spoke to the ladies for a while before leaving.
Back in his room, he ate the exquisite food prepared by the mansion, and just after two bites, he heard the sound of an announcement from outside.The hand holding the food paused, then put down the chopsticks, then looked at the door and waited for someone to come.After thinking about it for a while, I still asked the servants around me to add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks during this gap.
After a while, the lady and other people came in.She was also a woman, but she saw that the eldest lady seemed very restrained. When she saw the eldest lady, she bowed first, and then said very politely; "My Madam Li greets the lady."
The eldest lady took a look at her. The clothes on her body were not gorgeous, but they were dressed with great care. Thinking of her son, she also thought about it.Immediately, he showed a very kind smile, waved his hand gently towards her, pointed to the chair next to him, and said with a smile: "I called you here in a hurry, I guess I don't have time to eat, let's have a meal together first." let's eat."
Mrs. Li didn't know what Madam Ji meant, but the two of them were too different in status no matter before or now, so they couldn't show any resistance, and sat down next to Madam Ji obediently, watching her smile She looked very cautious, very cautious.He carefully picked up the vegetables, and was always ready to deal with any possible difficulties from Mrs. Ji, so after eating half a bowl and seeing Mrs. Ji put down the bowl, she stopped eating.
Mrs. Ji looked at Li's actions with cold eyes, and nodded with satisfaction in her heart, knowing that she was a sensible person, so she looked at her and said directly: "I heard that you had a son who worked with the old man before. ?”
Mrs. Li didn't know the meaning of Mrs. Ji's sudden question, but she had a vague guess in her heart, but she couldn't be sure, so she could only reply cautiously: "Yes, it's because of the elder's praise that I'm so useless." My son learned a little bit."
Hearing her humble words, the eldest lady didn't care very much, she just looked at her with a gentle smile and said: "Your brother and sister, you are too modest, if it weren't for the fact that your son is a talented person, the master wouldn't waste time taking him .”
Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard what Da Furen said, and quickly hid the look in her eyes, her tone was still very humble, "Thank you Madam for your compliment."
Mrs. Ji is very satisfied with Li's performance. According to her investigation, there are only two or three people in her big courtyard who have sons and both mother and child are good-for-nothing. What she felt satisfied with was the Li Shi in front of her, who seemed very honest and responsible.Not fighting or robbing, but being able to occupy a place with the second master of the Ji family shows that he is smart; the son he taught can be seen by his master, which shows that he is savvy, and cooperation in the future should save much trouble than the original Ji Tao.
Thinking about it this way, I didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, looked at her with a slight smile and said, "If you don't dislike it, I will bring your son here more often during these days."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately looked up at Mrs. Ji, as if to confirm whether what she said was true, but all she got was Mrs. Ji's very gentle smile.Immediately she felt confident, and she also showed a kind smile to Mrs. Ji, and said slowly: "Thank you, Mrs. Ji, for your suggestion."
Since that day, people in the mansion have often seen Mrs. Ji and a concubine of Mr. Ji Er - Mrs. Li walking very close, and even her son often followed Mrs. Ji to various important occasions , as if he was going to be trained as the next successor.
Everyone who knew the news had different expressions. Some were watching, some were watching the play, and some were gloating over Ji Ling, the original heir. tell him.It's just that no matter what outsiders do, Ji Ling is still unmoved, and does what he has to do, which makes those who want to see his reaction very disappointed, and gradually stops provoking him, and turns his head instead. Let's see what kind of attitude the eldest lady has, and whether she can seek a benefit for herself.
Ji Ling didn't care about the chaos of the outside world at all. On the table in front of Ji Ling at this time, there were reports on the affairs of the Ji family members in recent days, and they even wrote clearly about their friendship with the elder.Seeing these, Ji Ling flipped through them for a while, then put the things aside.
Looking at his most proud subordinate, Ji Ling didn't say anything obliquely, but asked directly: "Have you found that genius doctor?"
Feng Ling looked at his master, and said respectfully: "I found it, and I also invited him over, so I can arrive at Ji's Mansion tomorrow."
Knowing his efficiency, Ji Ling was very satisfied. She nodded slightly, then seemed to think of something, and asked, "What is the lady doing recently?"
"The eldest lady seems to be very satisfied with Li's son. Recently, she has been taking people around on various occasions, trying her best to introduce him to the elders." Feng Ling said, as if recalling something, and continued: "Some of those elders have reached an agreement with the eldest lady, and are going to follow her arrangement to elect Li's son."
"Auntie really took the trouble." After hearing this, Ji Ling just commented lightly, and then said lightly: "Find them something to do recently, so that they can take care of Uncle's physical condition flawlessly. By the way, if you are too busy, ask Feng Feng to help you." There are many people under him, but Feng Ling is the most capable among them.
"Yes." Feng Ling took the order and left.
Seeing the noisy crowd below, the First Elder managed to survive by relying on his professionalism as a butler for so many years.Then I looked at the rest of the text on the paper, swallowed my saliva, and then read, "The eldest lady is virtuous and virtuous, she has presided over this huge Ji family tremblingly for me and for the Ji family for so many years. There have been mistakes. If I have an accident, the big and small affairs of the family will be temporarily handed over to the eldest lady, and will be handed over to the wife of his family after a suitable person is selected. Those who do not obey will be disqualified from competing for the head of the Ji family. "
If the sentence just now caused everyone's commotion, then the sentence read out now has pierced the lungs of many people, especially those aunts who usually rely on the patriarch's favor and gain face in front of everyone. At this time, his face was very ugly.And those smart Ji family sons turned their eyes to the eldest lady who started to cry after hearing the news, and then lowered their heads not knowing what they were scheming.

Now it is announced What they said just happened to make them reconsider, so no one interrupted them for a while.
"There is one last thing." The head steward didn't look at what those people with different expressions were thinking, just picked up the piece of paper, and then said the last one, "I have dedicated my life to the Ji family and died. , if misfortune happens in the future, I don't want to bring trouble to the Ji family. When I pass away, everything will be kept simple, and all my concubines will be dismissed, and they will make their own living."
As soon as the last item came out, everyone was silent at first, and then someone in the crowd yelled loudly as if they couldn't accept it: "Impossible, your stuff must be fake, how could the master do this."

After finishing speaking, he handed the things over to the elders who had been sitting in the back quietly watching all this, without any sign of guilt.

He felt that the things announced by Mr. Ji this time were very unfavorable to Ji Ling, and there was even something wrong there.But Ji Ling didn't seem to realize the seriousness of this matter, with a calm face, he reached out and patted Tang Xiaobao's shoulder to make him relax.

Before Tang Xiaobao could figure out why, the elder over there said the decision they had discussed, "We several elders discussed and decided that the next patriarch of the Ji family can learn from this generation's Ji family." The family chooses, but Ji Ling is still the primary investigation target. It will be for two months, and then it depends on everyone's actions, and the patriarch will be the one who can."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent, and then everyone accepted the proposal.Ji Ling glanced at the people around him, and nodded when everyone looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, looking very indifferent.
Seeing Ji Ling's calm expression, some people who were worried that he would make a fuss immediately breathed a sigh of relief.After saying hello to the older people, everyone left separately. Today's affairs still need them to plan carefully.Only before Ji Ling, who was walking at the end, left, intentionally or unintentionally, he raised his head and glanced at the eldest lady who was talking to the elders with red eyes, the look in her eyes was very inexplicable.
Back in the yard of the two of them, Tang Xiaobao sat there, looking very depressed.Ji Ling couldn't see him like this, so he came to his side, patted his head, and said lightly, "What's wrong?"
Tang Xiaobao looked up at Ji Ling who was very calm, and asked very puzzled: "Aren't you angry?"
Ji Ling looked at him and asked, "Why are you angry?"
Looking at him, Tang Xiaobao suddenly felt that he was being unreasonable. Ji Ling himself was not in a hurry, what was he worrying about here, but he still felt a little aggrieved after all, looked at Ji Ling and said, "Originally you are the next one appointed by your uncle. A patriarch, if you get it like this, you will have to compete with those people for this position again. And those people seem to not know, but let you join."
Seeing Tang Xiaobao was actually depressed because of this matter, Ji Ling didn't care, just stroked his soft hair, and felt that he was being touched comfortably, and rubbed it gently with his hands, gently Asked: "If I can't be the patriarch, shall we go home?"
Hearing about going home, Tang Xiaobao looked up at him, staring at his serious expression, he knew that the home he was talking about was the place where the two met back then, the Ji Mansion that was not as big as this but very delicate.Thinking of the days when he was there, Tang Xiaobao nodded without hesitation, and his mood became better, "Okay, let's go home." Compared with here, he obviously likes there more. If he can go back, even Ji Ling It's okay not to be the patriarch of the Ji family.
Hearing that Tang Xiaobao agreed to his words without hesitation, the corners of Ji Ling's mouth slightly curled up, looking at him with a very gentle smile.Sure enough, to Tang Xiaobao, the wealth of the Ji family was nothing at all.However, this is also good, so there is nothing to tempt him.But after talking to Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling still looked at him and said seriously: "Don't worry, even if I don't become the patriarch of the Ji family, I can still support you."
At this time, Tang Xiaobao was still immersed in the joy that the two of them would soon return to their own territory. Hearing this, he didn't care. Looking at Ji Ling's bright smile, he said happily: " It doesn't matter, I can support you. Even if I can't open a restaurant, I can still make some small pastries to buy." Then, it seemed that if I made that kind of money, I would definitely not make as much money as Ji Ling. At that time The expenses must have been reduced, and his face began to turn red, and he said rather embarrassedly: "It's just that, maybe I can't make you live so well, but I will try my best to make you eat well."
Seeing Tang Xiaobao's appearance, Ji Ling's heart warmed up, and he stretched out his hand to press down on his head, bending his head down, so as not to let him see the turbulent look in his eyes.Such Tang Xiaobao, how could he not like it, his tone was slightly hoarse, "Okay, I'll wait for the day you raise me."
"En." Pulling Ji Ling's hand off his head, Tang Xiaobao looked up at Ji Ling who was no different from usual, and nodded heavily, with a very serious expression on his face.
After everyone had left, the Da Furen brought her personal maid slowly to Mr. Ji's room. The originally very elegant room was filled with the smell of medicine, and its owner was lying on the bed right now. I don't know if I live or die in bed.Gently came to Mr. Ji's bedside, Mrs. Ji cleaned the towel with her own hands and wiped his face. Looking at the old but handsome face when she was young, she waved her hand and wiped the clothes in the room. People were kicked out.
After all the servants had left, the Da Furen slowly bent down, lay on the Elder Master gently, and said lightly: "Master, if our child is still here, he might be older than Ji Ling." Right. It's just that he still has no fate after all. You said that if you hadn't married that woman, wouldn't so many things have happened? Master, your mission has been completed, so go on with peace of mind. I'll let you see what happened to all the concubines you married in back then."
The eldest lady babbled on for a long time, but after all, no one responded to her, only the smell of traditional Chinese medicine echoed in the whole room.
Because of the coma of Master Ji of the Ji family, the eyes of the whole city were focused on their family. Not long after the rules for selecting the patriarch were announced, all the famous families in the whole city knew about it.Although they seem to be optimistic about this, they are secretly planning for their own families, to see if they can get some benefits by intervening in this matter.
Just when the entire Ji family and even the city seemed to be a little ready to move, Ji Ling, one of the most concerned people here, was very calm, even when Mr. Huang and Lei Ming hinted whether they needed their help. Always politely declined.Seeing that Ji Ling was neither nervous nor worried, Mr. Huang and Mr. Huang asked a few more questions, and then stopped worrying about it.After all, Ji Ling's appearance was too calm, so they felt that he could handle all this by himself.
Compared with Ji Ling's calmness and the state of mind of doing what should be done at this time, the others seemed less calm.
"Young Madam, I heard that many aunts are going to give gifts to Da Furen today." Lu He looked very excited as she looked at her master who was cooking comfortably.Ever since the young lady handed over her skills to the chef in the restaurant, and even handed over the management of the place to Jiang Chen, he seldom went there.Especially after the recent incident with Mr. Ji, he didn't even leave the house, focusing on researching new pastries.Thinking of those servants who used to be respectful in front of me, now they look like their masters can take over, and they feel very hateful, but their masters are not in a hurry, so what should I do if I let her.
Tang Xiaobao carefully adjusted the flour in his hand, put it into his special oven, then turned to look at his very excited little maid, and asked very puzzled: "They just go, what's with me?" Dry?"
Seeing his wife's confused face, Lu He gritted his teeth and said, "Young Madam, they naturally want their son to be the head of the Ji family."
Hearing Lu He's words, Tang Xiaobao suddenly realized, and then said indifferently: "Then let them go, didn't they all say that those who are capable will let them go? I believe there is no one here who is more capable than Ji Ling." If it doesn’t work out, then we’ll go back, it’s better than staying here.”
Hearing Tang Xiaobao's gentle voice, Lu He was startled, and then realized her problem. Looking at the young lady who was not worried at all, she found that she had overstepped, and her impetuous heart gradually calmed down. .Taking the things he was about to make into molds, he said with a smile, "Young Madam said, are we going to make pineapple cakes next?"
Hearing that Luhe guessed what he was going to do, Tang Xiaobao was very happy, nodded excitedly, and replied: "Yes, I found that my husband likes to eat this very much recently, so I will make more when I have time today."
The two master and servant began to work in the small kitchen again, and the movements of their hands appeared to be very skilled.
During this period of time, the hearts of the people in Ji's mansion seemed very impetuous, but Ji Ling maintained his own pace as always. When the eldest lady thought that other people also needed the opportunity to show off and split up the affairs of her subordinates, Ji Ling also behaved very well. Indifferently, he divided the things without hesitation.At that time, everyone was amazed. Seeing him like this, they thought they were doing something behind the scenes. It wasn't until they actually took over and found nothing unusual that they had a new understanding of Ji Ling.
No matter what others think, after Ji Ling divided the affairs of his subordinates, he had a lot less things to do and took a lot less time.After finishing his part of the work, he rushed back home with Feng Ling, first went to Mr. Ji's place to take a look, and then went back to eat the food that Tang Xiaobao had carefully prepared for him.
It's just that along the way, I met many concubines of the Ji family who were not very familiar at first, but now the people who were not very familiar started chatting with each other because of their own thoughts.
"Big Brother also came to visit Uncle?" That was Ji Ling's father's fourth concubine son, who could barely be called handsome, but compared to Ji Ling's bearing, he was still a bit short.At this time, he greeted Ji Ling politely, but it was difficult for him to avoid it. He nodded and gave him a slight signal, which was regarded as a greeting.
Seeing Ji Ling's indifference, the man didn't care too much, just looked at him and said with a smile: "I just came out from the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is not in good health at the moment, and it is not suitable to see people, I am afraid that the elder brother will leave in vain It's been a trip."
Ji Ling looked at the concubine brother who was not very familiar with him in front of him, and didn't know what he was thinking, until he stared at him uncomfortably, and then slowly said: "I'm here to pay my respects to uncle." Afterwards, He bowed his head slightly to his concubine brother, and then left with his servants.
After Ji Ling left, the man looked at his back and said disdainfully: "What are you pretending to do? Now the old man is like that. Even if he keeps paying his respects, can he see it?" After finishing speaking, he took the His subordinates have left, and he has other important things to do now, so he can't waste time on such things.
Ji Ling arrived at Master Ji's room unimpeded all the way, just in time to catch up with the doctors who came to see him, saw him coming, and greeted each other.Then he went straight to Mr. Ji's bed, looked at the person who was getting thinner and thinner lying there, and turned to look at the group of adults behind him, "Excuse me, everyone, is there any conclusion on my uncle's condition?"
Hearing Ji Ling's inquiry, the oldest one among those people came to Ji Ling unsteadily, and looked at him with a shameful expression on his face, "Master Ji, the old people are very ashamed. It can be diagnosed that the old man is unconscious due to some kind of toxin deposited in the body, but he doesn't know what it is, especially if it is a toxin. Now he can only prescribe some medicine to nourish the essence , I hope the Elder Master can last a little longer."
Hearing his words, Ji Ling didn't react at all, as if he knew it a long time ago.He bowed slightly to the doctors, and said respectfully: "My uncle's illness, I have to trouble everyone."
Those people were very polite, returned a salute to Ji Ling, and said politely: "Master Ji is being polite, it's the old people who are incompetent."
After all, the doctors went to discuss countermeasures, and only Ji Ling was left standing there quietly looking at the Elder, as if weighing something.
After a while, there was a sound outside the door. Looking towards the door, she saw Mrs. Ji coming with her maid, looking at the person who was still pale but more complex than the previous days, Ji Ling first said After saluting, he gave up his position.
Mrs. Ji stood there looking at her husband for a while, then turned her head to look at Ji Ling who hadn't left all this time, her tone was still as gentle as before, and she said softly: "You really have a heart, and you come to see him every day. Your uncle."
Ji Ling looked at the lady who couldn't see the expression, and replied very coldly: "This is what I should do."
After finishing speaking, the two of them stood there silently, and the scene was quiet for a while.
After standing for a while, Ji Ling seemed to realize something, looked at Mrs. Ji standing there quietly, and said, "Auntie, it's almost time, I should go back."
"Go, Xiaobao must have been waiting for you for a long time." Mrs. Ji explained Ji Ling's urgent matter with one word, and then turned to look at her husband.
Seeing Mrs. Ji not paying any attention to him, Ji Ling took Feng Ling and left, but before stepping out the door, he turned his head for a look.I saw the woman sitting in front of the bed looking at her husband very intently, with a very sincere expression, and there was no room for anything else in her eyes.The light was imprinted on her face, and it seemed that she could vaguely see the sweet outline of her youth.
For some reason, Ji Ling suddenly thought of a sentence, time can never erase those deep feelings.Thinking of this, the pace under his feet became faster and faster.
When he returned to his yard, he saw Tang Xiaobao, who had seen his return, jumped towards him very happily, came to him, and said happily: "Ji Ling, we will be able to go back soon. Yet?"
Tang Xiaobao thought about it for a while, and there is nothing good here except that the place is bigger, there are more things, and the streets outside are more prosperous.It's not as good as being comfortable on your own site, and it's not as good as making him feel comfortable on your own site. I don't need such a big place, and I don't like shopping, so it's better to go back.
"What's the matter, do you want to go back?" Ji Ling hugged the person who was running towards him, looking at him and asked very gently.
Tang Xiaobao nodded without hesitation, as if he was in his own yard, and he didn't feel that the posture of the two of them was so wrong, he grabbed his clothes and lay in his arms, and said excitedly: "Yes. , I want to go back, I thought about it, and I still think it’s better there. Or, let’s go back.”
Ji Ling stared at Tang Xiaobao earnestly, and found that the look in his eyes was very serious, it didn't look like a fake, as if he sincerely hoped that they could go back to a place that is not as prosperous as here.Ji Ling looked at his very moist eyes, just about to open his mouth to agree, but suddenly thought of something, touched his face lightly, with a little apology in his tone, "If you really want to go back , let's go back, but I can't just leave uncle and leave."
Tang Xiaobao looked up at Ji Ling, thought for a while, and felt that what he said was right, so he nodded as if agreeing.Anyway, he can be anywhere, as long as he is by Ji Ling's side. "Well, if you are there, I will be there. It is not good for us to leave the old man like this."
Tang Xiaobao, who lowered his head, didn't see it. Ji Ling, who had been looking at him, heard his words, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.
Soon, Ji Ling walked in with Tang Xiaobao in his arms. As soon as he entered, he saw a table full of dishes. It was obvious that the dishes were the ones he used to like.
It wasn't until he smelled the aroma of rice that Tang Xiaobao jumped out of Ji Ling's arms as if he had thought of something, and then came to the front of the dining table, and brought a plate of very delicate pastries to Ji Ling. He said very happily: "Look, this is my newly invented pastry. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Ji Ling looked down, and saw that the pastry was made into a fruit shape, and it was still exuding a delicate fragrance, which made it look very attractive.Under Tang Xiaobao's expectant eyes, he stretched out his hand and gently picked up one and took a bite. It was sweet but not greasy, and it was filled with bean paste. The portion was very small, but it was very tasty.After eating three in a row, he calmly said in Tang Xiaobao's expectant eyes, "It's delicious."
Hearing what he said, a big smile appeared on Tang Xiaobao's face, looking very satisfied.Then he put the pastry in his hand again, pulled Ji Ling to sit down, served him food attentively, and said calmly while Ji Ling stared at him: "I can keep that for you Eat it as a snack, let's eat now, not eating is bad for your health."
Seeing Tang Xiaobao's serious appearance, Ji Ling couldn't help but laugh, and then followed his instructions to eat.
The two of them ate very warmly here, and Mrs. Ji on the other side wiped her husband's face on a daily basis, talked for a while, and then politely spoke to the ladies for a while before leaving.
Back in his room, he ate the exquisite food prepared by the mansion, and just after two bites, he heard the sound of an announcement from outside.The hand holding the food paused, then put down the chopsticks, then looked at the door and waited for someone to come.After thinking about it for a while, I still asked the servants around me to add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks during this gap.
After a while, the lady and other people came in.She was also a woman, but she saw that the eldest lady seemed very restrained. When she saw the eldest lady, she bowed first, and then said very politely; "My Madam Li greets the lady."
The eldest lady took a look at her. The clothes on her body were not gorgeous, but they were dressed with great care. Thinking of her son, she also thought about it.Immediately, he showed a very kind smile, waved his hand gently towards her, pointed to the chair next to him, and said with a smile: "I called you here in a hurry, I guess I don't have time to eat, let's have a meal together first." let's eat."
Mrs. Li didn't know what Madam Ji meant, but the two of them were too different in status no matter before or now, so they couldn't show any resistance, and sat down next to Madam Ji obediently, watching her smile She looked very cautious, very cautious.He carefully picked up the vegetables, and was always ready to deal with any possible difficulties from Mrs. Ji, so after eating half a bowl and seeing Mrs. Ji put down the bowl, she stopped eating.
Mrs. Ji looked at Li's actions with cold eyes, and nodded with satisfaction in her heart, knowing that she was a sensible person, so she looked at her and said directly: "I heard that you had a son who worked with the old man before. ?”
Mrs. Li didn't know the meaning of Mrs. Ji's sudden question, but she had a vague guess in her heart, but she couldn't be sure, so she could only reply cautiously: "Yes, it's because of the elder's praise that I'm so useless." My son learned a little bit."
Hearing her humble words, the eldest lady didn't care very much, she just looked at her with a gentle smile and said: "Your brother and sister, you are too modest, if it weren't for the fact that your son is a talented person, the master wouldn't waste time taking him .”
Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard what Da Furen said, and quickly hid the look in her eyes, her tone was still very humble, "Thank you Madam for your compliment."
Mrs. Ji is very satisfied with Li's performance. According to her investigation, there are only two or three people in her big courtyard who have sons and both mother and child are good-for-nothing. What she felt satisfied with was the Li Shi in front of her, who seemed very honest and responsible.Not fighting or robbing, but being able to occupy a place with the second master of the Ji family shows that he is smart; the son he taught can be seen by his master, which shows that he is savvy, and cooperation in the future should save much trouble than the original Ji Tao.
Thinking about it this way, I didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, looked at her with a slight smile and said, "If you don't dislike it, I will bring your son here more often during these days."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately looked up at Mrs. Ji, as if to confirm whether what she said was true, but all she got was Mrs. Ji's very gentle smile.Immediately she felt confident, and she also showed a kind smile to Mrs. Ji, and said slowly: "Thank you, Mrs. Ji, for your suggestion."
Since that day, people in the mansion have often seen Mrs. Ji and a concubine of Mr. Ji Er - Mrs. Li walking very close, and even her son often followed Mrs. Ji to various important occasions , as if he was going to be trained as the next successor.
Everyone who knew the news had different expressions. Some were watching, some were watching the play, and some were gloating over Ji Ling, the original heir. tell him.It's just that no matter what outsiders do, Ji Ling is still unmoved, and does what he has to do, which makes those who want to see his reaction very disappointed, and gradually stops provoking him, and turns his head instead. Let's see what kind of attitude the eldest lady has, and whether she can seek a benefit for herself.
Ji Ling didn't care about the chaos of the outside world at all. On the table in front of Ji Ling at this time, there were reports on the affairs of the Ji family members in recent days, and they even wrote clearly about their friendship with the elder.Seeing these, Ji Ling flipped through them for a while, then put the things aside.
Looking at his most proud subordinate, Ji Ling didn't say anything obliquely, but asked directly: "Have you found that genius doctor?"
Feng Ling looked at his master, and said respectfully: "I found it, and I also invited him over, so I can arrive at Ji's Mansion tomorrow."
Knowing his efficiency, Ji Ling was very satisfied. She nodded slightly, then seemed to think of something, and asked, "What is the lady doing recently?"
"The eldest lady seems to be very satisfied with Li's son. Recently, she has been taking people around on various occasions, trying her best to introduce him to the elders." Feng Ling said, as if recalling something, and continued: "Some of those elders have reached an agreement with the eldest lady, and are going to follow her arrangement to elect Li's son."
"Auntie really took the trouble." After hearing this, Ji Ling just commented lightly, and then said lightly: "Find them something to do recently, so that they can take care of Uncle's physical condition flawlessly. By the way, if you are too busy, ask Feng Feng to help you." There are many people under him, but Feng Ling is the most capable among them.
"Yes." Feng Ling took the order and left.
