Chapter 57: 談話
[Conversation]
Hearing his wife’s words, the Grand Master was a little moved, but at this moment, Ji Ling’s closeness to Tang Xiaobao appeared in front of his eyes, and he was a little hesitant. Looking at his wife, he couldn’t help but voice his concern, “I can’t see through Ji Ling, but I just saw that he is very concerned about his husband.”
Hearing her husband say this, the First Lady also remembered the interaction between the two just now, just thinking of the benefits they can bring to Ji Ling, she doesn’t believe that Ji Ling won’t be moved. If you’re a smart person, you won’t turn down the offer. Men ah, no men who never cheat. However, in front of the Grand Master, she will not say it, softly said in the ear of the Grand Master: “Grand Master, why don’t I go and ask the second brother to be the lobbyist (go between), and see how he reacts?”
Hearing his wife’s suggestion, the Grand Master thought about it and nodded, but remembering his second brother’s unreliable nature, he still instructed, “You go and tell my second brother to pay attention when he speaks.”
Thinking about the second old master’s character, the first wife immediately understood what her own old master meant, and smiled as she responded, “I’ll be careful, don’t worry, old master.”
Hearing his wife say this, the Grand Master was instantly relieved, compared to his very unreliable second brother, his wife is still a bit more reassuring, at least she has never let herself down.
After discussing the matter, the two of them stopped talking, just silent thinking about their own things. A room of silence, just the two of them have long been accustomed to.
Soon after, the first lady went to visit the head of the second house.
Ji Ling took Tang Xiaobao on the way back to his own courtyard, the two of them had just come out from the big house to eat, so they were all on a diet on the way, and even the conversation was just one conversation after another. Since today was delayed all morning, there was no intention of getting ready to go out again, so there was plenty of time today.
Tang Xiaobao thought back for a while, and still felt that there was something not quite right about today’s events. He felt that the first lady was a good person, but still felt that she was strange there, as if it was not the same as what he had imagined. Looking at walking beside himself, expressionless Ji Ling, Tang Xiaobao’s face was very tangled, or couldn’t help but pull his sleeve, asked in a low voice: “What did you guys talk about today?”
Originally, Ji Ling was still guessing what the eldest uncle had called himself for this time, just feeling the force of Tang Xiaobao pulling his sleeve, Ji Ling turned his gaze to him, and then after listening to his words, he faintly opened his mouth, “This time, the eldest uncle looked for me to talk about some business matters, and also asked me how to deal with it. ”
Tang Xiaobao heard this and was a bit surprised, he thought they had talked about something secret before they had to instruct them out.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao frowning and thinking about something, Ji Ling gently laughed, then reached out and pressed his forehead, and said in a low voice: “Don’t worry, nothing will happen, I am here.”
Looking at Ji Ling’s serious expression, Tang Xiaobao’s negative emotions that had appeared since arriving at this place with restrictions everywhere were all swept away. At this moment, she looked at him and nodded her head seriously, “Uh-huh.” The happy Tang Xiaobao took the initiative to hold Ji Ling’s hand, and spoke with great excitement about what he had seen and heard in the small garden.
Holding his own hand tightly, Ji Ling looked at the person beside him and revealed a heartfelt smile.
At this time, the First Lady was sitting in the main hall of the second house, looking at her sisters-in-law sitting in front of her, smiling very kindly, “This time I have taken the liberty of disturbing you.”
The second lady looked at the woman in front of her with a very gentle smile, endured her own body full of discomfort, carefully answered: “Sister-in-law what are you talking about, after all we are family. Where it comes about is whether it is disturbing or not disturbing.”
Hearing her sister-in-law say so, the eldest lady’s smile became even more gentle. The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before explaining their intentions, “I have a daughter in my family who is waiting to be married, and my family has asked me to look for a marriage, so I would like to ask you to help me find out what Ji Ling has to say.”
Hearing these words, the second lady suddenly froze, looking at this gentle and gentle woman in front of her. Many thoughts flashed in her eyes. Their house had no male children, so if they needed to find the next head of the family, they would need to look for one from their house. Ji Ling is a sick child, in their excuses to drive people out of the big house did not say anything, originally thinking that the head of the family would fall on her own son. Just think of the recent series of actions of the big house, suddenly associated with what, the bottom of the eyes flashed a trace of dissatisfaction.
Even though the second lady’s thoughts only happened in a split second, the first lady on the other side of the table saw it clearly, and understood her worries in an instant. Stretching out her hand and placing it on hers, she softly said, “Ji Ling is a member of your second house, no matter what, he will always honor you.”
The Second Lady changed her face in the instant that the First Lady’s hand was placed on her hand, and then looked at the woman in front of her and laughed, “Sister-in-law, you’re talking about that, I was just thinking about that Ji Ling brought back a husband that day. I think that child is quite pleasing to the eye, I don’t know if the young lady on the sister-in-law’s side of the family would dislike it or not.”
It seems that she did not hear the mystery in the second madam’s words, the first madam looked at her and smiled very casually, “That child is from such a low background, he can’t help Ji Ling in any way. I think, if a virtuous person knows that her husband married someone who can help him, she will be happy for her husband.”
Seeing that the First Lady’s mind was made up, the Second Lady did not say anything more, but just looked at the person in front of her and echoed her words. Until after the first lady left, the second lady’s face sank, staring at the object in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking. Then, as if she couldn’t figure it out, she swept all the surrounding decorations to the ground, and a trace of resentment appeared in her eyes. That bitch, with what, once she came back, she robbed the things belonging to her son.
Thinking about all the details here, the second wife realized the big house’s side of the heart, just very hateful is that now their second house still has to rely on the big house’s side to live. Therefore, even if you know what they think, you still have to follow their order. Just do it, how to do it is not controlled by the big house side.
Walked to the second room courtyard of the big lady face is still that gentle and harmless expression, eyes unintentionally scanned a glance in the courtyard, compared to the big room courtyard arranged slightly worse than the decorations, the tone of the rambling said: “You send people here to watch, when the second old master came back, immediately invited him to come to the big room here.”
Standing on the doctor’s side of the maid is very clever, at this time heard the words of the first lady, immediately agreed to come down.
After Tang Xiaobao and Ji Ling had rested for a while in the courtyard and were about to have dinner, they heard Ji Ling’s father summoning them over. Tang Xiaobao found it very strange, but Ji Ling had a straight face and didn’t look surprised at all.
