Throwing the small bundle onto his shoulder with one hand, he walked straight out the door.
The maid was stunned for a moment, then turned around and hurriedly followed her out; when she got outside, she heard Minghua's clear and clear voice, "I'm leaving. Thank you for taking care of me these days."
"Miss Minghua..."
This made the maids stunned.
Ji Jin reached out and said, "Give me the little bundle and I'll take you back."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Minghua handed the small bundle to him. Then, the three senior brothers and sisters walked out with smiles; the maids and boys who were moving things followed behind.
After walking out of the residence of the Chief Minister, two carriages were heard outside; one carriage was hung with the character Ji, and the other carriage was hung with the character Cui, which represented the carriages of the powerful families in the capital, the kind with names and surnames.
"Little junior sister, my senior brother will see you off and I will go home first. Master and I will come to pick you up tomorrow. I haven't gone to pay my respects to you for a few days." Cui Changhe stood in front of the Ji family's carriage and talked with Ji Jin Talk to Xiao Minghua.
Minghua bowed and said, "Second senior brother, go slowly. See you tomorrow."
"Second Junior Brother, please go back. Junior Sister, I'm with you. It's too late to go back to your family, and your aunt should have something to say again." Ji Jin waved his hand.
Cui Changhe nodded slightly and said something to them before leaving.
Watching Cui Changhe get on the Cui family's carriage, the coachman drives the carriage, and the boy and the coachman are sitting together; soon disappearing from the sight of the two, Minghua follows Ji Jin and gets on the carriage. His carriage is spacious, with tea, snacks, There is no shortage of fruits, and there are even some dried fruit snacks.
Ji Jin took out the food and said, "Eat whatever you want. My mother had people prepare these things. There are a lot of sweet and greasy things that I don't like to eat. You little girls like to eat sweet and greasy things. Eat more." "
Minghua wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she held it back.
"Thank you, senior brother. I can just eat fruit. I don't like anything too sweet."
Ji Jin regretfully moved the plate with the dessert aside, then put the fruit in front of her, "Eat more."
"Okay." Minghua peeled off the skin of the apricot and took a bite. It was sour and sweet. "Senior Brother, let me ask you something."
"ask."
Ji Jin also took an apricot to taste, but put it down after taking one bite.
Minghua's eyes flashed when she saw the apricot; she guessed that he couldn't eat things that were too sour. Some people have such tastes. If they don't like sweet things, they couldn't eat things that are too sour. However, that's not what she wanted to ask.
"Does the aunt of the second senior brother's family even care about when he returns?"
"That's not true." Ji Jin peeled an apricot for her and put it into an empty cup, answering for her, "Before, his aunt was looking for a reason for his late return to the house. Fortunately, the second junior brother was not stupid and made trouble. It was so big; many people knew at that time that the Cui family had become famous."
"It's nothing to set up a gate for a concubine to go out, but it doesn't make sense for her to cause trouble even though her second junior brother came back before dark. Moreover, male heirs after the age of seven are placed in the front yard of the concubine. The hands in the backyard could not reach that far; the matron of the Cui family was confused, always trying to manipulate the children and concubines, and could not see the situation clearly. At that time, the second junior brother had already become a disciple, and even the head of the Cui family did not dare to do what he did before Be patient with him. But the mistress of the Cui family dared to do so, and she even became more arrogant because she was angry."
"The second junior brother made a big fuss, and the head of the Cui family restrained her, so she seldom went out of the backyard; the second junior brother is now a little freer, and the people around her are chased away and sent away. Those people are all It was given to me by the wife of the Cui family, how dare the second junior brother use it; besides, they probably have a share of the credit for the body and bones of the second junior brother."
According to his opinion, people should be beaten to death, and they deserve to be beaten to death with sticks; if they treat the young master of the family badly, he is still a young master if he is not favored, and it is not something that servants can do.
However, Cui Changhe's body was covered with hidden diseases, all caused by human abuse.
"Then Second Senior Brother..."
"Don't worry about him. In his generation, he is the only one of the direct descendants of the Cui family who has made a fortune; the others have been raised useless, and it is thanks to that ignorant woman of the Cui family. The direct son of the direct descendant was not raised well and was taken over by the servants. The education was crooked; the concubine was also crooked by her, and was either crippled or a waste."
"Her son has become an arrogant and domineering person, which can be regarded as retribution; her son, because he is the legitimate son of the Cui family, used to offend the second junior brother a lot, but now he will take a detour when he sees the second junior brother. I think it must be the second junior brother. Junior brother has punished him in private, otherwise, he wouldn't be like this." Thinking about what he saw at the banquet, he would never see it.
Minghua felt a little relieved, "Then the second senior brother's situation at home is pretty good, right?"
"It's much better than before, but it's not necessarily how much better; at least he's not as free as I am when it comes to money. His father only subsidizes him privately because he sees that he is useful now and doesn't want to completely alienate people from him. "Ji Jin said with a smile: "Even though your second senior brother looks so serious, he is actually very bad-tempered. He has tried to trick his brother many times."
"How did you fix it?"
Ji Jin glanced sideways at her and shook his head with a smile, "Don't say it, don't say it."
"Big Brother."
"It's useless to call me senior brother, and I wasn't there; I just heard what others said, and the second brother didn't explain it. However, your second brother has a sum of money that he saved." This money came from the Cui family. Gloves in the hands of the legitimate son.
Others don't know, but he and the master know.
Minghua asked curiously: "Who told you?"
"Master..." Ji Jin murmured smoothly, and then he realized that he was not wary of his junior sister; he nodded her forehead, "You little girl, you can actually trick me; forget it, I told you it's okay, but don't take it out and say it."
"That brainless thing from the Cui family, relying on his status, won't make a big fuss if he knows about your second senior brother. The next generation of the Cui family only cares about your second senior brother. She doesn't know how to win over her. When the Cui family elders The thing is dead, let’s see how she can live a good life in the future.”
Minghua was speechless and rolled her eyes at him, "On the surface, it must be easy. The second senior brother is the one who wants to pursue an official career. If the aunt is not good, many people will blame him. However, when the eldest son is around, the second senior brother can How much do you need to inherit? If you inherit that little thing, you also have to take on the responsibility of taking care of your aunt-in-law? Then it’s better not to inherit it.”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Jin pinched her head, but his mind couldn't help but follow the things she mentioned, "However, you are right, inheritance must be inherited; the family must be divided when it is time, Cui That thing in the family is not a good thing. Sooner or later, if we separate the family, it will affect your second senior brother. Okay, let’s talk to your second senior brother in private tomorrow. If your second senior brother inherits the Cui family, he must find a way to let his father separate the family first."
"Is it possible?" After all, only the second senior brother can inherit the Cui family. Can the Cui family owner agree to split the family for the sake of other heirs? Why don't you hold the second senior brother back?
