"Everyone will like whatever the young master gives you." As the young master of the Ji family, a prominent family in the capital, many people are rushing to fawn over him.
Ji Jin glanced at him, feeling bored, "That's all, what do you know? I'll ask my mother when I get back."
"Okay, young master."
Changsheng stopped talking. He knew that sometimes he and the young master had different ideas. Fortunately, he was loyal and the young master never thought of sending him away.
Returning to the Ji family, Ji Jin went straight to the backyard. At this time, the old lady's yard was in the backyard. The head of the Ji family and all the female family members were there. Ji Jin stood outside the door for a while, told the maid not to tell her any more, and turned around. Waiting in Mrs. Ji's yard.
There are so many female relatives in the old lady's house. Even though they are a family, they should avoid taboos.
If you want to go in, you must not let anyone inform you.
As soon as he left, the maid who was guarding the door walked into the hall and said, "Old madam, the young master came back just now. He stood outside the door for a while and then left."
"Why don't you come in when Jin'er is back?"
"The young master didn't say anything."
The old lady was dressed in silk and satin, with gray hair, but she was still in high spirits. After listening to the maid's words, she patted her thigh with her hand and said: "This child just has a lot of rules. Okay, Jin'er is back, let's go back together. Let’s see what Jin’er wants to eat tonight and have someone cook it for him.”
"Yes, mother, I'll go first then; brothers and sisters, sit down slowly, I'll go first."
"Sister-in-law, walk slowly."
"See you later, sister-in-law."
The children and family members of the family stood up one after another to pay tribute according to their status and seniority.
A harmonious family.
The eldest lady led her confidants and maids back to the courtyard, and saw Ji Jin sitting in her courtyard room in a daze. She dismissed the maid first, walked to the table, sat down, and poured her son a cup of tea.
"Ah, mother, you are back." Ji Jin came back to her senses and took the tea cup with both hands.
"Why are you dazed?"
Ji Jin took a sip of tea, put it in front of her, and said slowly: "Mom, I want to give a girl a meeting gift, but I don't know what to give her; she is very smart, loves to read, is also eloquent, and very lovable. ,so cute."
Four in a row.
The eldest lady had to pay attention, "The girl you like?"
"..." hurriedly shook his head, "No, mother, where are you thinking? It's my master who has accepted a closed disciple. She is a little girl. Her biggest hobby is reading and studying. She is very studious, in short , she is very smart and different from most girls in the world."
"She said she didn't like her." She didn't believe that she could give such a high evaluation even if she didn't like him.
Ji Jin reluctantly explained, "I'm only seven years old, so don't think too much about it; my son doesn't have such a hobby."
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, "Your father has already planned your marriage. Don't go out and cause trouble or incur debts."
"I understand, you told me a long time ago that I have no control over my marriage. I just have to listen to you and my father." Born in a clan, and enjoying the benefits brought by the clan, naturally you have to lose something. "As long as you and If my father thinks he is a good person, I will marry him. Let’s not talk about this now. Mother, what do you think I should give as a meeting gift?”
The eldest lady began to think deeply, "Clothes, jewelry, inkstones, books, calligraphy and paintings; didn't you say that little girl loves reading! Giving an inkstone is almost as good as books."
"Junior sister won't accept them. Besides, are there any books in the master's collection?" Don't underestimate the master's collection. He hasn't even read all the books. The Ji family has everything except top-secret books that are not divulged. What's in the master's collection? They all said, "I'm thinking of giving something new and innovative."
"What's new?"
The eldest lady couldn't help but start to worry again, "The little girl you mentioned is really only seven years old?"
"Mother!"
"Okay, okay, why don't I stop talking!" She sighed helplessly. As the day for her son's birth was getting closer and closer, she always took more precautions. "Instead of trying to come up with new ideas, why not take a look at what the little girl wants recently? "Gifts must be given to people's hearts. You can't just give something you think is good in a hot head. If they don't like it, wouldn't it be annoying?"
The most taboo thing about giving gifts is not delivering them to your heart.
Especially people who take it very seriously.
"I understand, mother. Junior sister wants to buy a house in the capital to live in. I will ask someone to inquire about it." Ji Jin's eyes lit up, and then he thought that the master had also agreed to Minghua's request, and hesitated again, " However, Master is also looking after the house for Junior Sister."
The eldest lady smiled, "Your master thinks it belongs to your master, you think it belongs to you; if it doesn't work, wait for your master to see the suitable one, and after your little junior sister has decided on it, why bother buying the one next door? The house is too big." Some are not.”
It turns out that it is easy to handle if they are new to the capital. For children who have just arrived in the capital, if they want to have a home, they can just give them the title deed to the house.
Ji Jin shook his head, "No, mother, junior sister will not accept such valuable things."
"Really?" In this way, the little girl is quite principled, "If you accept it, you can take it first, and then I will buy it from you when your junior sister has money; or, if you owe it first, let me buy it from you. Your little junior sister will pay you back slowly."
Ji Jin's eyes lit up again, looking excited, "You're right, let's do it."
"Okay, now that we have a solution, go back and rest for a while; are you tired from being with your master?"
"I'm not tired. I'll ask someone to find out about the suitable houses around Master. The ones that are too expensive will definitely not work, and the ones that are too big won't work. My junior sister definitely won't have that much money when she first comes to the capital, so I have to find a suitable one."
For this reason, Ji Jin asked the boy around him to run more diligently and ask if there was a good house nearby that he was willing to sell. Then he asked him to pay more attention to the people around Xu Shoufu. After confirming the house, he immediately bought the small courtyards on both sides of the house. .
Such busy work lasted three days. When Cui Changhe went to see Minghua, he didn't go either. On the fourth day, Xu Shoufu took Minghua to take a fancy to a small courtyard two streets away from Shoufu's residence. He said it was a small courtyard. Only relatively speaking, it is actually a second-level courtyard.
The yard asked for eight thousand taels, and Minghua definitely didn't have enough money. Xu Shoufu paid part of it in advance to solve the urgent need, but even so, Minghua was worried.
I originally thought that two thousand taels should be enough, but the courtyard with two entrances is really good; it has good feng shui and aura, and is suitable for the elderly. You can also grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks in the courtyard. It is spacious and has a pond. . The most important thing is that there is a river of living water in the yard. The living water represents vitality. The formation of the array will not only make the home prosperous, but also allow the vitality of the living water to feed back to the people living in the courtyard.
After thinking about it, she decided to buy it even if she borrowed money; for the sake of her family, she would be able to pay back the money sooner or later, at least a few more storybooks. The sales volume in Beijing is definitely higher than that in the county, and it will be a matter of time before the debt is paid off.
There are valuable things in her natal magic weapon, but she cannot sell them. In the future, more people will be watching her, and she has to act cautiously without any power.
