Ji Tang

Chapter 1188 Someone Comes From My Hometown!

Jiangdong, Mingzhou, Ji Mansion!

At this time, a beautiful woman was feeding the baby in her arms. His face was full of maternal glory, and he looked at the baby in his arms lovingly.

"Xuan'er is so good!"

Seeing her son neither crying nor fussing after eating, Wu Mei happily gave her a kiss on his delicate face, causing the child to feel dissatisfied and wave his little hands as if in protest!

"Humph, you are heartless. Your father left just as soon as he told you to. Do you dislike being a mother?"

Although he complained, the smile on his face did not diminish at all.He looked at the north and said with some pride: "How about you give birth to a son? Your son is the eldest grandson of the Ji family, but my son is not bad either. The eldest grandson of the southern sect of the Ji family may not be worse than your son in the future!"

Women are better than their husbands before marriage, and of course they want children after they have children.

How can Wu Mei, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, be looked down upon?She is already thinking about how to surpass the one from Chang'an.

"Er, you have to give your mother some credit and show them that you are the best in the Ji family."

It only took three or five days to deliver the news from Chang'an, and it only took three or five days for Taming Falcon to be here. Coincidentally, she gave birth three days after her sister-in-law gave birth. For this reason, her mother-in-law and grandma complained about her and asked her to go to Chang'an to raise the fetus. Go and let your family members come over.

Ji Xuan is her son's name. Since the children of the boss's family will inherit the generation of fire, there is no reason why her son, the direct second grandson, can't?
"Madam, someone is coming from Chang'an and they are waiting outside!"

Wu Mei was stunned for a moment, but then she felt relieved. It had been more than a month since he gave birth, so it was time for his family to arrive.

"I won't go out. Just let them in. The children can't see the wind yet."

He is very angry now and is working hard for the Ji family. Even if his treatment is not as good as that of his eldest grandson, it cannot be worse.After all, they have the support of the royal family, but she does not have this backing.

After a while, a person came into the backyard, and Wu Mei was stunned when she saw him.

"Uncle Liu? Why are you here?"

She quickly hugged her son and wanted to greet him, but Lao Liu hurried over to stop him and said: "Farewell, you are still holding the child, so don't bother."

After speaking, he glanced at the little man in Wu Mei's arms, and Old Liu's face was filled with joy.There are already two of the third generation of the Ji family, and the third young master is expected to get married in a few years. By then, the third generation of the Ji family will be even more prosperous.

As the chief housekeeper of the Ji family, he was specially sent by his wife this time because he was worried that there would be complaints from the second bedroom and that he was not taken seriously by the family.

"Xuan'er, this is your Grandpa Liu, please call me Grandpa!"

When Lao Liu heard this, he immediately became happy and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Madam, you are too anxious, how old are you!"

Wu Mei also blushed a little. When she saw the big housekeeper coming, she felt excited and a little overwhelmed with pride.

"You should hug this child too. After all, you are also his elder!"

Old Liu was overjoyed. He quickly rubbed his hands together and carefully took the child. Looking at the faces of He and the Second Young Master, he felt extremely happy. He was even happier than seeing his own grandson.

"Xuan'er? Is this the child's name? Which character is it?"

Lao Liu then remembered something and asked quickly.

"Xuanhe Xuan, I hope that this child will inherit the knowledge of his father and grandfather and be glorious throughout his life!"

Old Liu was stunned and murmured: "Xuanhe's Xuan? What a good name!"

"I didn't expect that Madam is very good at naming. This child is smart at first sight. Look at his smart eyes, he will definitely be a personable and talented man in the future!"

"Then I will borrow your blessing!"

Wu Mei is also welcome. With her, his father, and a grandfather who is like an immortal, this child will definitely be good in the future. My Wu Mei’s child will definitely not be mediocre!
She was full of expectations for her child. Old Liu seemed to have seen this too and shook his head in his heart, but he would not say anything.

Sometimes birth determines everything. Although the head of the family treats everyone equally, the eyes of the world are not so easy to ignore.The eldest grandson's grandfather is the emperor, his grandmother is the queen, and his grandfather is the prince. Such status will definitely be good in the future.Maybe His Majesty and the Crown Prince have already arranged everything for their eldest grandson.

"By the way, come here, bring everything in!"

Lao Liu handed the child to Wu Mei and shouted outside.

Soon, boxes and boxes of items were moved into the yard, including silks, top-quality medicinal materials, many children's toys, and postpartum supplements. Anyway, the items were very miscellaneous, but they were comprehensive, which shows that they were carefully thought out.

"These are all selected by the madam, the ancestors, and the young madam. There are also some things that the young madam sent from the palace. They are all good things."

"This time when we went south, our ancestors asked our slaves to bring ten craftsmen. They were all the second sons of Master Zhuangzi. They were just like that at home. It was better to go out and make a living. My wife couldn't resist Master Zhuangzi's plea, so she agreed. . After all, it’s my own family, so you can rest assured when using it, right?”

"These people are all good at blacksmithing, carpentry, carving, construction, stone carving, etc. If you have any instructions, just leave it to them."

Wu Mei smiled and nodded when she heard this: "Old ancestor, please go back and say hello on my behalf. Just say that your granddaughter-in-law is unworthy and cannot serve her. It is really inappropriate."

"And sister-in-law, thank her for me too!"

Old Liu smiled and nodded. Just when Wu Mei thought it was over, Old Liu clapped his hands and saw ten young strong men in black suits appearing in the yard.

"This is."

Wu Mei was shocked in vain and came here quietly. This ability was no small feat.Suddenly she thought of the legends circulating in her family and looked at Butler Liu in disbelief!

Old Liu nodded solemnly and looked around. Wu Mei understood immediately and waved away all the irrelevant people.Soon she, Butler Liu, and the ten people were the only ones left in the yard.

"You haven't seen the young lady yet!"

The ten people were not ambiguous and said in unison: "I have met the young lady!"

"Don't be too polite!"

Wu Mei looked at Butler Liu with some confusion, hoping he would give her an explanation!
"Madam, don't worry too much. This is what I told you before I left."

Wu Mei was relieved when she heard what the master had told her, but the doubts in her eyes had not been eliminated.

"Madam is smart and must have guessed the origins of these people. Yes, they are soldiers of the Ji clan. The reason why I came in person this time is to show my respect for Nanzong, and secondly, it is for them."

Pointing at the ten people, he said: "This is the basis for my Ji family to stand in the world. Even the main family does not have much. Logically speaking, my Ji family's financial resources should not be as much as I need? But the reality is not like this."

Old Liu sighed: "The expenses are too high. Maintaining the current number is already the limit. If it expands further, even Ji's family will not be able to maintain it. Furthermore, in order not to arouse suspicion, it is just right now, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable Ah!" "The master left this matter to me before he left. I have something to tell you this time!"

Wu Mei said solemnly: "Master, what do you mean?"

"I say that if you don't worry about the long term, you will have immediate worries. You must be prepared for everything. Chang'an is too eye-catching. But it's different in the south. Find an island on the sea. I say you have to decide what to do next."

"I understand!"

Wu Mei was thoughtful. He had heard of Ji's clan soldiers, but had never seen them before.But judging from the steward's caution, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter!
"These ten people are the best among the clan soldiers. You must treat them well. They can save your lives in the most critical moment. Don't be careless!"

"Wu Mei understands!"

At this time, she finally understood some of her master's thoughts. She might have to make all the arrangements in advance to save herself the mermaid meat.The master had said when he was teaching her that as long as they didn't touch the bottom line of their lineage, they could do whatever they wanted.

Everyone in the world is bound by rules, but they don’t have to be.

Rules are a means for those at the top to rule the bottom. Don't let your thoughts be constrained by the rules of the world.If you are in a desperate situation, you can do whatever it takes. This is Ji's rule!
But Master also said that people in the world are ignorant and follow others' opinions. Following the crowd is the mainstream of the world.I can be sober when everyone is drunk, but I don’t have to show it.Being in harmony with light and dust is the great road.

Moreover, Master only told these things to his eldest brother, husband, himself, and four senior brothers.For others, he just taught them to follow their hearts.He didn't understand it before, but now he does.

It’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s that I want to tell who to say it to.

They all grew up under the guidance of their master. They have the vision and judgment to distinguish right from wrong when and what to do.But this may not be the case for others. Sometimes saying too much can confuse people, so it is better not to say anything.

In the past, Master used Cheng Chusi from Lu Guogong’s family as an example.It can be said that Cheng Chusi is a middle-aged man. If he were placed in an ordinary family, he would be a good pillar of the family, running around for life every day.If there were no great opportunities, this life would be like that.

But he was born into a distinguished family and was the eldest son, so his life experiences were destined to be extraordinary.But he does not have the ability to control this identity. There is only one way for such people, and that is to focus on one thing.Don’t think too much about other things, and don’t ask too much. If you think about it or ask too much, it’s just a bother!

After making arrangements, Wu Mei asked people to entertain Butler Liu.But Lao Liu refused.

"You'd better stop busy. This trip south is not just your business. Our ancestors asked me to go and see how other branch families have been doing in the past few years. I also have some things to give to them."

After speaking, he took out a list from his arms and handed it directly to Wu Mei.

"you are"

Didn't you say that you would deliver it in person?Why did you give it to her?

"You also know that the old lady never cares about these things. After all, she is not familiar with them. This is what the master meant. Since they followed the Nanzong southward, their future development and relationship will be under the Nanzong. The master's family still doesn't want it. Well done to the intervention.”

"These things are not very important secrets in the family. Although they are just like that to us, they are good things for other branch families to live in. The master has told me that each family can only get one share. , no one else can compete for it.”

After hearing this, Wu Mei did not shirk anymore. After accepting it, she said, "I will give it to them."

"Okay, I've said what needs to be said, so I won't leave any more behind!"

Wu Mei was stunned and tried to persuade her: "You come all the way to the south and you have to stay one night and have a meal before leaving. Could it be that I didn't treat you well?"

"No no!"

Seeing the young lady's misunderstanding, he quickly explained: "Didn't the eldest son of the old slave also follow you and the second young master to the south?"

"It's because I've delayed you from seeing your son!"

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Then I won't delay you, he is in Gobi County, I will ask someone to take you there!"

"Then thank you, madam!"

"No need, this is what it should be.!"
-
After the old housekeeper left and put the child to sleep, he came to the back mountain.

Behind this mansion is a hill, which was circled when we bought it.Later, a small courtyard was built here, which was regarded as a place for leisure time.

The arrangement of ten people here just now is considered appropriate.After all, the current household is basically occupied by women, and it is really not suitable for them to live there.

Butler Zheng accompanied his mistress to the back mountain. When the old steward left, he told him that his father had told him that if he knew that he didn't do things well in Nanzong, he would have his legs broken.He also said that if he had time to visit the south next year, he would not dare to be careless now.

"Meet the young lady!"

As if they had just met, all ten people saluted him respectfully, but she knew that this was just for the sake of him being the young lady.Their allegiance is to their husband, the second son of the Ji family, and this will not change.

"My husband has gone to live with the master. During this period, you will live here first. I will find an island overseas after a while, and then I will arrange for you to go there."

The ten people looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said: "Actually, there is no need to bother Madam, we can find these things ourselves. In fact, the head of the family already has a goal!"

Wu Mei was stunned and asked in surprise: "Where is it?"

He took out a piece of oil paper, and when he opened it, he found it was a map.

After spreading it out, he pointed to an island next to a large island in the south and said: "This is right here. According to the head of the family, he had been here back then. The area of ​​this island is huge, enough to be the size of three Guanzhong. And it is far away from Other continents and islands. In the future, the Ji family will vigorously develop this place."

"I was going to send someone there before, but the head of the family went to Anxi, so it was delayed."

He raised his head and said, "Young lady, are you watching?"

Wu Mei heard the words and said in a deep voice: "Since it is Master's wish, you go ahead and do it. If anyone needs it, just let me know. In addition, I will arrange three sea ships for you. After all, you are going to sea, and good ships are still needed."

"Thank you madam, but only five of us will go there for the first time. After things are arranged this time, ten of us will take turns to sit there in the future, and the others will stay in Nanzong to protect you and Nanzong's safety."

As if he saw her surprise, he continued: "The head of the family had already left many people there. I heard there were thousands of them, and they were all good in the navy, whether they were building ships or The leaders will not disappoint, they are enough to open up the situation there!"

Wu Mei opened her mouth wide, in disbelief.

It turned out that Master had already made arrangements several years ago and had enough manpower left.He looked at that island on the chart. There were no other big islands within a thousand miles, let alone inhabited ones.

If we didn't know the exact location, it would take a lot of effort to find such a place.Now it seems that that is Ji's last retreat.It is also the foundation place that ensures Ji's immortality.

Thinking of this, he said decisively: "It's not enough. In this way, our Nanzong still has many people in Nanhai. They are all reliable manpower. I will give them orders and they will all obey your orders!"

She has absolute trust in these ten people.If she couldn't trust them, she didn't know who else to trust.
