Tong Jia anecdote

<six seven>

When Tong Jiu returned to the study from the front, Ji Lan was still sleeping.Tiptoing over, seeing Ji Lan snuggling up on the bed with Bu Huo in his arms, Tong Jiu frowned and stood at the head of the bed quietly watching her.

Ji Lan was in a light sleep, but after smelling Tong Jiu's familiar breath, she woke up slightly, and murmured "You're back?" before opening her eyes.

"Lao Qi is gone, shall I carry you back to sleep?" Tong Jiu leaned over and hugged Ji Lan together with the quilt. Although it was a bit difficult, she still staggered away, yelling "" Ma'am, let's drive—"

"Huh?" Just as Ji Lan opened his eyes sleepily, he felt a flicker, and was staggered by Tong Jiu, hugged him horizontally, and grabbed Tong Jiu's front collar in an exclamation.

Immediately after being stabbed by the cold wind and light outside, he retracted his face into Tong Jiu's arms.

"Jiuye, you, please carefully touch your feet, don't fall again." Fu Chaqin, who had just come out of the wing room, was horrified to see Tong Jiu walking towards the main room with Ji Lan in his arms. , hurriedly followed behind, fortunately the main house is not far away.

Ji Lan, who was in Tong Jiu's arms, looked up at Tong Jiu who was serious and panting, and smiled.

"Oh, oh, it's here—." Finally, when he reached the edge of the kang, Tong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth, and gently put the quilt on the kang, and fell down with him.Lying on Ji Lan's body, panting heavily, he could not stop being silly.

Ji Lan caressed the few strands of hair that fell from Tong Jiu's forehead, and said, "I've been here for a while, how is the front?"

"The difference is more than 2000 taels. Although it's not a big amount, we can't just let them lose the money without knowing it. I asked Lao Qi to go back and tell her, Ama, to find all the people in charge. , I will go to the third room to see it in person in the afternoon." Tong Jiu said.

"Chengde Mansion Dazhengchang's account is not finished yet?" Ji Lan caressed Tong Jiu's earlobes and cheeks.

"The big checker is taking care of it." Tong Jiu sighed, and said, "I know you are upset looking at the front, so take advantage of this year to take a break, and I am in front. Left and right are not big things, I can handle them well."

But Ji Lan smiled, and said, "Compared to when we first met, you are now taller and more mature. Sometimes I even feel in a daze. You are the same person as the boy with melancholy brows that day. Think?" Thinking back then, I lent you 50 taels out of nowhere, but didn’t intend to get it back.”

Tong Jiu chuckled and recalled, "Yes, without you, without the 50 taels, I should probably be herding sheep on the grassland right now."

"Even if I hadn't lent you money, you wouldn't have been buried." Ji Lan said affirmatively, "Besides, without you, we wouldn't have Huizhengsheng today."

Tong Jiu said, "Ever since Baotou Fuhui Zhengsheng started to make a profit outside the customs, I have thought about it. Aji, you opened the foreign exchange Zhengsheng not just to make money. It is to make the world as desperate as I was. , can borrow money. Let thousands of businessmen come to do business with us, this is a good deed that benefits the entire business community, a good deed.”

"Don't talk about these nice things to coax me, don't pretend I don't know. Before, you always thought that I was a profiteer who cared about money and plotted against you everywhere." Ji Lan patted Tong Jiu's cheek, feeling a little bit relieved , but said on his mouth, "Now we are together, and you are telling me that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth. How can you hide it from me with your little thoughts."

"I can't coax you, I admire you from the bottom of my heart." Tong Jiu smiled sincerely, "I want to learn from Aji, and then we will do this good deed well together."

Ji Lan also said sincerely, "Actually, you are more capable than me. For a long time, I just maintained Yangzhengtang according to the method of my ancestors. But you started from scratch and bought these. When you plan to open foreign exchange, I want to Okay. Even if we don’t drive well, it doesn’t matter if we really lose. Because you have the ability to start over.”

In the next few days, Tong Jiu has been circling between Sanfang, Yangzhengtang and Dazhengchang, leaving early and returning late, very busy.And Ji Lan, along with a group of female family members in the mansion, helped the grandma of the Han family manage the New Year's work in the mansion.

In the early morning of this day, it was the last day for Da Zhengchang to settle the big bill. Tong Jiu had eaten breakfast, so he and Shen Jianping rushed to the account room.

Just after Tong Jiu went out, Seventh Miss's third wife, Erniang, and Fucha Tuya came over to the house, and they still came to see Grandma Han.

"Since the two children got married, although our two families are fortunate to be in-laws. But I am far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and this is the first time our two parents have met." The grandma said politely, "Is it Lu Qi? Is there something wrong with him recently? Where it is appropriate, as the third lady is an elder, you should be more tolerant."

"What is Grandma talking about? I came this time to ask Grandma." The third lady looked at Ji Lan next to her, and said in embarrassment, "To tell you the truth, there is a seventh daughter in my family." , It's my heart disease. When she was young, she got angry and convulsed for some reason. So, now that it's Double Ten, she's still in her boudoir."

"Oh, I met that child a few days ago, he is a good child." The eldest grandma smiled kindly, "And looking at Ji Lan and the other sisters, they are as close as their own sisters."

"Yes, Grandma doesn't know. Tuya and Jilan's Erniang and I are sisters. They are both their aunts and their aunts. So the children in their second room and our third room are closer than the other houses. Make it thicker." The third lady sighed.

He also said, "In the past few days, the second son-in-law has been coming and going in and out of our room. The third master and I look at him and like him from the bottom of our hearts. The second girl is a lucky one. Those unworthy bastards in our room, All of them are not as good as Second Young Master."

"You're absurd." The grandma kept praising Tong Jiu after listening to what she said, and vaguely guessed some of her intentions for coming this time.So he glanced at Ji Lan who was sitting next to her, and saw that although she had no expression on her face, her eyes were a little cold.

I only heard the third lady say, "Hey, we shouldn't have said that, but we are sorry for the parents in the world. Grandma and we are all mothers. If the old seventh always stays out of the house like this, even if I die, I won't be able to close my eyes." "As he spoke, he was even more embarrassed and said, "What I mean to the third master is that we want the second son-in-law to take Lao Qi into the house. Can you see it?"

As soon as the third lady said this, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became awkward. Ji Lan drank tea silently and did not speak.

The eldest grandma wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said slowly, "It is said that the two sisters serve one husband together, and there is a need to take care of each other. There is nothing wrong with the rules and reason. But after all, I am not Lu Qi's mother. The two are newlyweds, plus our Lu Qi's temperament. This master, I'm not easy to do, and I'm afraid I may not be able to do it."

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Lan, and said with a smile, "So, whether this marriage can come true or not, it still depends on Lu Qi and his wife."

So, they drank another ten days of tea, and the third lady silently gave Tuya a wink.

Tuya chuckled lightly, and said, "Look, how can I say this? One side is my own sister, the other side is my cousin sister. This is the only brother-in-law. It's not easy for me as the eldest sister to say that. But since the third aunt Come here, let me just say a few words."

He said to Ji Lan, "Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? No matter how good your husband and wife are, he will admit other people in after a few years. Although Lao Qi has been in poor health since he was a child, you can nod." Well, Master Jiu probably won't say anything. At that time, let the family bring in a few more, and you sisters will be taken care of. In this way, Third Aunt and I can rest assured."

Ji Lan put down the teacup in his hand, and said leisurely, "Even if I agree to this marriage, Master Jiu will not agree. You can go to her and tell her, if she really agrees, I, as a sister, even if I take this The main house is given to Seventh Sister, so what's the big deal?"

"Or, later." The grandma said, "When he comes back from the front, I'll ask him what he means. If he is willing, it's good to kiss and kiss. If he is not willing, we will also Don't hurt your temper, marriage is a matter of reluctance after all."

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then sent the third lady back.Tuya sat in Jilan's room.

"Don't be annoyed, she came to me, what can I do." Tuya casually took the female celebrity that Fuchaqin made half of the case, looked at it and said, "Besides, I know my sister best. You won't even touch things that have been touched by your hands, let alone serving your husband now. Simply, let them toss about it, and there will be nothing left in the end."

"I just want to know if this is what Sanfang means, or Lao Qi himself." Ji Lan said puzzledly, "The former Lao Qi is with me, and Lu Qi and I are still staring at each other. This It's only been a few days since I went back, and this kind of thing happened."

"It's probably Lao Qi's own idea, so why not do it for Sanfang?" Tuya said, "Your family is such a shrewd person, and they are good at everything. Things are showing their faces again, which one of them is not jealous."

Ji Lan pretended to understand the righteousness and said, "I will always say that, as long as he wants to marry. I won't stop any number."

"Forget it, and you can tell outsiders about this. Do you think I don't know? Your family Han Luqi, what are you afraid of? I dare not get up." Tuya said, looking at her sister with a funny face.

"That's not the case." Ji Lan was a little embarrassed by her sister's words, and said, "That's because I treat her well."

Tuya deeply looked at her younger sister's little girl who rarely showed her appearance, and smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Jilan, among the few sisters in our family, it is your fate. Look at you, I Just be happy, really."

As he spoke, he rubbed the corners of his eyes, and said disappointedly, "Look at me, I'm all old. A girl is not a girl, a wife is not a daughter-in-law. You can see what your life will be like at a glance."

Seeing her sentimentality, Ji Lan also sighed, patted the back of her sister's hand, and said, "Actually, I only realized it after I met Lu Qi. People, if you want something, just let it go and do it yourself. If you don't have it all, you will end up with it." That's it."

Speaking of Tong Jiu, Ji Lan smiled appreciatively, and said, "How many people in this world would have the courage to borrow 50 taels of silver from passers-by? Such a person."
