Qi Jinxing's palms were swollen from the beating, and his whole body was red from crying. The mother-in-law who was serving him was so frightened that she grabbed Qi Jinxing and wanted to go back to apply medicine.
Xitao stopped the person, "Hey! Where are you going! Madam hasn't finished her speech yet!"
Ji Shu: "Copy today's copybook again and copy it into this virtue. I will write it until I am satisfied today!"
"Young madam, you can't do this. It's getting dark soon, and I haven't had dinner yet!"
"Xitao, get rid of all the irrelevant people and don't disturb Brother Xing and Brother Yuan's study."
Xitao responded, grabbed the mother-in-law's arm and dragged her out of Changleyuan.
Qi Jinxing cried and went to get the pen. His red and swollen palm couldn't hold it firmly, and the words he wrote were crooked.
Ji Shu patted Ji Qianyuan on the shoulder and said, "Go back to your courtyard to eat."
"Mother, brother, he..."
Ji Qianyuan looked at Qi Jinxing's pity and wanted to plead for mercy, but was interrupted by Ji Shu, "Be good, go back."
He bowed to Ji Shu, took the boy with him and left Changleyuan.
Ji Shu asked someone to find a rocking chair and place it in the courtyard. He lay down and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for someone to come to him.
Not long after, the voice came as expected: "I'm going to die! It's okay! Ji! Ji, come here!"
Li Shi broke into Changle Courtyard in a hurry, but Xitao pretended to stop her.
"Madam! Our lady is watching Brother Xing practice his calligraphy!"
"What the hell, I listened to Chun's mother! I can do it!"
"grandmother--"
"Okay!"
When Qi Jinxing saw Mrs. Li, he dropped his pen, jumped off the chair and rushed towards her, his nose and tears all over Mrs. Li.
"Grandma! My mother hit me on the palm of my hand. It hurts so much! My mother didn't even give me any medicine, but she also asked me to write. It hurts so much!"
"This is unreasonable! Ji, come here!"
Ji Shu put his hand on Xitao's wrist and stood up, "Mother-in-law is here to intercede for brother Xing?"
Mrs. Li hugged Qi Jinxing, sighing at his swollen palms, her eyes full of heartache, "Ms. Ji, if you have an adopted son, why don't you give up your biological son?! You are so abusive to Brother Xing! Mother Chun, go and get Er Please come here, I want him to talk to the Ji family to reason! What a cruel daughter-in-law we have got!"
Chun's mother knew the inside story and didn't dare to go. She hesitated at the moon gate.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, let's take a look at this first."
"What the hell! I won't look at it. Let's talk about it in detail when your parents come!"
"You'd better take a look, this is Brother Xing's 'masterpiece'."
Mrs. Li looked suspicious and muttered as she answered: "What..."
Seeing the painting on the copybook, Ms. Li suddenly fell silent. She was a little short of breath: "Brother Xing, did you draw this?"
"Wow! Grandma, I know I was wrong. I just drew it casually. I didn't mean it... I apologized to my mother, but she still beat me!"
Ji Shu: "Brother Xing just drew this, but he still didn't dare to admit it, so he pushed it to Brother Yuan. He has been practicing calligraphy here for the past few days, and he never calmed down. My wife taught him a lesson for his own good, and Brother Yuan educates me the same way, so my mother-in-law still wants to accuse me of being partial?"
Li's momentum suddenly dropped, "Just, even if it's like this, you can't hit him like this! Forget it! If your hands are swollen like this, why are you still copying books? Can't you make up for it tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow comes tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows! Brother Yuan has already practiced all tomorrow's posts in advance, where is Brother Xing? As time goes by, the distance is getting wider and wider. Will my mother-in-law say that I am partial again?"
Ji Shu's clever mouth made Li unable to say a word.
Qi Jinxing saw that Li was useless, fearing that he would be even more miserable by Ji Shu and cry even more sadly.
Mrs. Li couldn't care much, so she hugged her grandson and left. Ji Shu gave an order and blocked her way.
Li's eyes widened, "Ji, are you going to rebel?"
"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare. It's just that today my daughter-in-law has to watch him finish practicing the calligraphy. If mother-in-law insists on intervening..."
Ji Shu rubbed the roots of the mountain, groped for a nearby round stool and sat down, sighing: "I'll ask my mother-in-law to make a deed for me. No matter how my brother Xing's studies are in the future, he has nothing to do with his daughter-in-law, so her daughter-in-law won't press her." Him, let him let nature take its course.”
"Grandma, promise mother, promise mother."
Qi Jinxing's eyes lit up. He tugged on Li's sleeves and said, "Xing'er can learn well on his own without the help of his mother. Before his mother was away, Xing'er also learned very well. Xing'er can't compare with that shit or with his brother. !”
"This this……"
Sweat broke out on Mrs. Li's forehead. She intuitively believed that the deed could not be established, but her obedient grandson was begging for help, and Ji Shu's people stopped her from leaving...
Mr. Li stamped his feet and stood up immediately!
"Bring paper and pen!"
She ran to the table like a happy peach, took Qi Jinxing's pen and paper and spread it in front of Li. Ji Shu sat aside and said:
"Whatever my daughter-in-law says, you can write it as well: On April 20, the fifteenth year of Tianzhi, Qi Li, the wife of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion, signed a contract..."
Mrs. Li bravely finished writing the deed, and Xitao took out a box of red mud from her sleeve pocket like a magic trick.
"Madam, you need to have your fingerprints pressed."
She glared at Ji Shu and pressed her hand onto the name at the end.
"Woohoo! I don't have to worry about my mother anymore!!"
Qi Jinxing ran out of Changleyuan cheering like a kite with its string broken, and his palms no longer hurt.
Mrs. Li always felt that she had fallen into Ji Shu's trap. She looked at Ji Shu who was folding the deed book and gasped:
"Mr. Ji, don't think that this is your 'imperial decree'. Brother Xing is your child. If you don't take it seriously and train someone else's child, I will never end it with you!"
Mrs. Li ran out after Qi Jinxing. Ji Shu was in a good mood and told Xitao:
"Spring will be over soon. Let's ask the kitchen to make pots for the last time, and call Qianyuan over to eat together."
"yes!"
When Ji Feifei returned to Changle Courtyard, the women were taking the pots away. Ji Shu was lying on the rocking chair, enjoying the cool air under the front porch, and Ji Qianyuan was standing by and endorsed.
"Sister, did you just finish your meal?"
Ji Qianyuan saluted her and retreated into the courtyard.
Ji Feifei smiled and said: "Sister is too willful. She killed her first and then started to play. I went home today and saw my father and mother. I was so angry that I wanted to come to see my sister... But I asked my brother and sister-in-law to persuade me. "
Ji Shu's face was covered with a veil. He slowly pulled it off and lazily opened his eyelids, "Have you had dinner?"
"Eat at Ji's house."
"I see you've eaten too much to hold yourself up, otherwise why would you be talking so much nonsense today?"
Ji Feifei's face stiffened and she laughed angrily. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she caught a glimpse of a figure walking from the moon gate of the inner courtyard.
"Brother-in-law——"
"Shu'er! Where is the deed written by mother? Give it to me!"
"What do you want the second master to do?"
Ji Shu was too lazy to get up, turned his head and went over, raised his round fan and fanned around, frowning in disgust.
"Second Master, have you been drinking?"
The lantern in the corridor illuminated the crimson color on Qi Chengxu's face, and it looked like he had not stopped drinking.
He half-crouched down, put his hand on Ji Shu's rocking chair, and coaxed in a low voice: "Shu'er, mother has a narrow vision. I know that you beat the businessman for his own good. That deed shouldn't be written. Give it to me." , I tore it up, from now on you teach Brother Xing well, and I will go and tell you about it to my mother."
