Ji Moshu didn't expect that this would happen when he rushed back to greet her. The Ji clan members united and asked the ancestors to put pressure on their mother to adopt Ji Hao to their father.
Ji Hao is ambitious. Will all the property adopted by his father be eaten up?
My father was just not sure about his life and death, and the legitimate daughter was still alive, so these people dared to overtake their status as a direct line, and they shamelessly bullied their mother.
Seeing that Mrs. Ji, who was so thin that she could not speak by her ancestors, she suddenly felt unprecedented anger.
What are you doing?
Because of Ji Moshu's angrily scolding, everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Moshu for a moment.Ji Hao thought he was dazzled and subconsciously looked at Ji Yong. Didn’t his father say that Ji Moshu was dead?
Ji Yong was also not sure. He had inquired specifically that Ji Moshu had been missing for more than a month. Not only did Mrs. Ji know, but even all the civil and military officials in the court knew that His Majesty sent someone to "find". It was basically equivalent to the danger of missing in such a remote place for so long. But when he saw Su Qingzhou who came back with him, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, this nosy guy.
Why didn’t Xiao Shu say anything when she came back?He stiffly pulled a full opening remark.
I want to say it back, aren’t this going to surprise my mother?I don’t expect that my cousin has prepared such a grand scene. Could it be that he is welcoming me?Ji Moshu glanced at everyone with a strange look, and then looked at Old Ancestor Ji sitting in the main seat sarcastically.
Although Ancestor Ji is respected as the ancestor, he is not actually a direct line of the direct line. It is just because he is old and a hundred years old is a symbol of blessing in the eyes of the world. Therefore, everyone regards him as a treasure and respectfully calls him his ancestor. But now it seems that he is like an old fairy, immortal.
How did Xiao Shu speak? He didn’t even polite to see his ancestors?Ji Yong scolded Ji Moshu before Old Ancestor Ji spoke.
Ji Moshu's face became colder, and because of the difference between elders and young people, he honestly bowed his hands.
Su Qingzhou also walked forward and looked at Ji Yong, who was anxious to give his strength to his younger generation, and said sarcastically, "Why are you doing Uncle Ji and his wife with so many people?"Could it be that I thought Mo Shu couldn't come back, so I took my son and couldn't wait to eat the family?
What are you talking about? I am just worried about my elder brother and niece.Ji Yong suddenly felt a fever on his face when he was told so directly. His hatred made him itchy and he was almost defeated. Why is Ji Moshu like Cheng Yaojin? As expected, his life is cheap. He has been sick for so long and disappeared for so long and cannot die.
care?Ji Moshu sneered, it didn’t seem to care about me, but my cousin wanted me to come back?She looked at the ancestor Ji who had never spoken and sat upright like Mount Tai. Could the ancestor come with his cousin to help them bully our orphans and widows?
Yonger, what's going on?The old ancestor Ji was also said to have a hot face. Today, it was Ji Yong who came over and said that Mr. Ji was missing and Ji Moshu disappeared. Now the chamber of commerce is competing for the position of president. In order to protect the property and status of the descendants of Ji, he came to "advocate justice."
As a result, Ji Moshu was still alive and jumping around, not the sick person I remembered. Why didn’t Ji Yong tell him that Ji Moshu had cured the disease? It’s outrageous.
The ancestor...is not like this.Ji Yong waved his hand in a hurry and said nothing for a moment.
Humph, a bastard.Old Ancestor Ji cursed inwardly and looked at Ji Moshu and said seriously, "Xiao Shu, your cousin is also worried about your father, and it will be a mess." Today's affairs are over. You can't blame him. Blood relatives are blood relatives, and blood is thicker than water."
Ji Moshu watched coldly. Human relationships and worldly styles are like a ridiculous drama. In the drama, people will show ugly faces at specific times because of their own selfish desires. This is ridiculous.
She came to Mrs. Ji, who was struggling with the table, and hugged the person in her arms.
Shu'er?Mrs. Ji's eyes were swaying with tears. She subconsciously stroked Ji Moshu's face, as if she was dreaming.
After touching the warm and real touch, the pain that had been depressed for many days finally found the vent. Tears burst out in my eyes instantly. She was so angry that she drooped Ji Mo hard, "Where have you gone? Your father... You don't have a figure yet, you are always like this, you are very unfilial."
At this moment, Mrs. Gui couldn't control her fragility in front of so many people. God knows how she lived during this period. Mr. Ji disappeared, and Ji Moshu had no news. There are rumors that Ji Moshu died in a foreign land in an accident. She was lonely and almost left with Ji Moshu.
Sorry, it was my fault, which made my mother worry again.
You also know that you are wrong, it's really a worry-free thing.
It's my fault, I'll take you back to your room to rest first.
Ji Moshu felt an indescribable feeling of grief in his heart. What did her relatives do wrong and why did they suffer these hardships?
Without caring about the emotional excitement that was too chaotic, she picked up Mrs. Ji in the waist and took the person back to the west courtyard in full view of everyone.
Zi Su had already shut all the outsiders away. Ji Moshu put Mrs. Ji on the bed. Seeing the grayish white on Mrs. Ji's head, her heart was suddenly in a state of turmoil. She walked to the tea table and brewed a cup of peace and sound tea in a blink of an eye.
Mom, use some tea first.
Shu'er... Mrs. Ji took a sip of tea with Ji Moshu's hand and looked at Ji Moshu worriedly.
Don't worry, I'll settle them, and my dad is still alive. I will bring my dad back in person. I promise you that we will not care about these messy things in the world from now on and will be together.Ji Moshu held Mrs. Ji in his arms, feeling extremely distressed.
I feel sorry for Mrs. Ji, but also for Mr. Ji and... I feel sorry for myself.
Shu'er, do you have any worries?If you want to say that the person who knows Ji Moshu the most in this world may not be Su Niang, nor Wei Xiaoyi, he can only be Mrs. Ji.
Even if Ji Moshu didn't say it, Madam Ji could still feel that Ji Moshu had lost the kind of vicissitudes of his former spirit after returning, and it was actually full of vicissitudes.
Tears almost popped up in Ji Moshu's eyes, and she smiled bitterly, "Mom, in the past you always told me that good people will be rewarded, but it may not be true."
Everyone in the world says that good people will be rewarded, but judging from her experience, the emperor who did many evil deeds in the people's livelihood enjoys all his glory and wealth, his greedy and shameless cousin is healthy and long-lasting, and the ruthless and unrighteous Su Niang still calmly pursues the throne after hurting her, and even the ignorant people still live step by step after unjustly accusing Henan Shang.
On the contrary, Gu Wanyue was sent to Qingzhou, who was devoted to seeking welfare for her family. Wei Xiaoyi, who valued love and righteousness, almost went to the palace to be a concubine, and she did nothing and was determined to serve the country and the people, almost lost her family.
Good people will be rewarded?Not necessarily, not really.
Shu'er, what's wrong with you?Mrs. Ji was shocked by Ji Moshu's deep despair. What did Ji Moshu experience when he went out?
Ji Moshu's throat choked again, but he still had to tighten the fragility in his eyes. She helped Madam Ji lie on the bed and tucked the quilt carefully. I'm fine, don't worry, my mother shouldn't pay attention to rest. Let's sleep for a while, and I'll drive away the annoying guys.After signaling Mrs. Ji not to worry, she turned to the perilla and spring flowers. Perilla, you can calm the spirit fragrance, and then ordered the kitchen to make some easy-to-digest porridge and spring flowers. You can invite everyone who can talk to the chamber of commerce.
Yes, Miss.
OK.
With Ji Moshu's instructions, Chunhua and Zi Su's actions began.
Ji Moshu quickly returned to the main hall. At this time, the overwhelming Ji clan members were still arguing tirelessly. Su Qingzhou and Wei Xiaoyi did not give any face at all, and stared at them with all the people.
Dear uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law are free today.Ji Moshu walked straight to the main seat of the main hall, one with Ji Laozu, one left and one right, while Su Qingzhou and Wei Xiaoyi sat in the lower position under Ji Moshu's instructions. Such a formation made the hearts of the Ji clan members.
What does cousin mean?Ji Hao said alertly.
What's the meaning?My uncles, aunts, sisters and ancestors don’t know the specific situation and they are confused. Mo Shu can understand it. Today’s incident is just a misunderstanding. Everyone knows that my Ji family is in trouble and takes time to come over to Mo Shu and is grateful. But since I am still alive, I have not adopted my cousin to my father. Today’s incident is abolished, and everyone will go back to their own families.After all, he was a tribe of the same lineage. Ji Moshu couldn't be too shameless, so he gave a step and issued an order to expel guests.
This... The tribesmen hesitated and looked at Ji Yong. Today, Ji Yong said that Ji Hao inherited his own lineage and threatened to give them the qualification to sell salt in the future. But now he is in vain?
how?What objections do you have?Ji Moshu suddenly turned cold and looked at the official officer who was specially called to cheer today. Are the several official officers affiliated with the Yuzhou Prefecture Office?What happened to trespassing into our official residence today?
The official?
Several officials realized that Ji Moshu was the only one in the Ji family’s direct descendants?
That was the Tanhualang this year. Although he was not an official from Yuzhou, he was also an official from the Ministry of War. He was a senior official and he was crushed to death. They suddenly felt furious on their backs and knelt down to salute.
Lord Ji, the subordinates did not intend.
Forget it, the Japanese officials still have to deal with family affairs today, so you can go back first.
Thank you for forgiveness.
The officials quickly knelt down and thanked him for leaving, and their shameless backs seemed very cramped.
Seeing this, the people of the Ji clan all realized the reality. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate daughters. The legitimate daughter is still alive and has no reason to give her family property to her son. As distant relatives, they are not ungrateful and will not be so easy to talk to in the future.
Since Ji Moshu gave him a step, they took the opportunity to go down the donkey.
Xiao Shu, today we care about it, so our uncles and sisters-in-law are leaving now.
Yes, if Xiaoshu needs any help, please call me.
you?Ancestor.
Ji Yong and Ji Hao turned against each other as they called over to put pressure on the tribe, and their faces turned green. They looked at Old Ancestor Ji, but Old Ancestor Ji was not good at breaking the rules. After all, the legitimate daughter is here, and she has an official position, and her body doesn't seem to be sick. If he helps the concubine's son too much, it will be criticized.
Bastard, look at the stupid things you did.As soon as the ancestor Ji leaned on a crutch, he pretended to scold Ji Yong, and then looked at Ji Moshu. Xiao Shu, you will leave your uncle's affairs to my ancestors for discipline. The most urgent task now is to decide on the affairs of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Ji Lang also needs someone to inquire.
Ji Moshu smiled indifferently, but my ancestors said this. Today, I rushed back because of this matter. I had already found out about my father's whereabouts.
What?Ji Yong blurted out in desperation, Ji Lang is still alive?
What is the reaction of my cousin?Ji Moshu stared at Ji Yong.
Old Master Ji also gave Ji Yong a blaming look.
Am I too excited?It’s really God’s vision to be alive.Ji Yong quickly changed his words and secretly scolded Ji Moshu, the little girl, to become more snobbish.
Su Qingzhou couldn't stand it anymore, but why did I feel that Uncle Ji was quite regretful about it?
What are you saying? Su Qingzhou, don’t think that you are from the Su family and our Ji family will give you face. This is the family business of our Ji family.Ji Hao couldn't hold back his anger. How could he bear the mockery of his own father by a junior or an outsider?
Yes.Housework?Su Qingzhou did not give any face at all. I am Mo Shu's sister and a veteran of the Chamber of Commerce. Whether I look for Uncle Ji or choose the Chamber of Commerce president, I am an insider. How can I say something about outsiders?But you, who are you?
Su!light!Boat!
Ji Hao was so angry that he waved his fist and approached Su Qingzhou. Wei Xiaoyi bravely stopped him in front of him. What do you want to do?
Ji Hao was so angry that he dared not speak out. He dared to beat Su Qingzhou, but he didn't dare to beat Wei Xiaoyi. After all, he was the three masters in the dynasty and could not be provoked.
What's the argument?Isn't it embarrassing enough?Old Master Ji knocked on the crutches again and sat down.
snort.Ji Hao glanced at Ji Moshu gloomy and calmed down reluctantly.
At this time, Chunhua also successfully invited the elders of the Chamber of Commerce and their descendants who returned to Yuzhou.
Everyone was very excited when they saw Ji Moshu.
Oh, Xiao Shu, you are back, the Chamber of Commerce is in chaos.There is no news about old Ji and Lao Su, and your whereabouts are unknown, alas.When Mr. Zhu saw Ji Moshu, he felt aggrieved and burst into tears. Old Su was detained in Yongzhou, and a large number of people were stranded. But Lao Ji disappeared at this time. The trouble made everyone who came back this year panic. He could only keep coming forward to calm people and ask people to call Ji Moshu back but get news that Ji Moshu was also missing, which is even worse.
Uncle Zhu was worried.
I'm shocked, don't bother or not, I heard you have found out about Lao Ji's whereabouts?
Um.
Ji Moshu nodded, then stood up, and suddenly bowed with his fists in his hands. Today, I called you here not only because of my father's affairs, but also because of the passing of the throne.
Passing the throne?
That's right, my father's whereabouts are still unknown. Considering that the Chamber of Commerce cannot live without people, I plan to pass the position of president to Su Qingzhou.
Mo Shu!
Although he expected Ji Moshu to pass the throne, he did not expect that he would pass it to her. Su Qingzhou immediately stood up, with an unconcealed excitement on his face.
To be honest, she prefers to be a businessman and traveling around at home and abroad than to get fame and fortune in the officialdom. However, because Mr. Su has never agreed, Ji Moshu now mentioned that she was surprised.
This is inappropriate. The president's affairs must be decided by Lao Ji, even if the temporary president is temporarily held, Xiao Shu should be the one who will be there.Mr. Zhu expressed his disagreement first. Although Su Qingzhou, a child, has talent, this kind of thing does not depend on talent, but on his background. If Su Qingzhou, as a member of the Su family, becomes the president, it will only make the emperor even more afraid.
Yes, this kind of thing still needs to be carefully considered.The Chamber of Commerce has been the leader of the Ji family for a hundred years. The Ji family is kind, and we are willing to make a living with the Ji family.Everyone expressed their sincerity to the Ji family. After years of experience, the Ji family has withstood the test of people's hearts, so everyone naturally prefers to let the trusted Ji family be the president.
Ji Moshu had long expected everyone to refute this. She brought up the pre-prepared remarks. I know that everyone values the Ji family. It is the honor of the Ji family to be recognized by everyone. But now I need to find my father. Besides, I am already in an official position, so I am not suitable for doing business. Everyone can see Sister Su's abilities, and there is no more suitable candidate than her.
But after all, Xiaozhou is from the Su family. After all, she became the president and emperor and beat us all to death?Xiao Shu, we know you are in a hurry to find Lao Ji, but you can't push us into the fire pit.
Yes, if President Ji was there, he would never have done anything so randomly. Xiao Shu, please consider it again, this is not OK.
I know everyone’s concerns, but the Ji family has paid too much for the Chamber of Commerce over the years. Now my father is unknown in life and death, but I am alone. I am confused about the road ahead. Everyone may have expectations for glory and wealth, but I only hope that my relatives will be safe. This time, I forgive the Ji family for being powerless.Ji Moshu simply told his words.
This has been the case with human hearts since ancient times. When you have something to ask for, there are a lot of good words, but when it comes to conflicts of interest, you will show your selfishness.
Whether it is the ignorant people in Zhucheng, the south, or these uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law, the essence is actually the same.
Since everyone is selfish, why should she make contributions?
Xiao Shu, what you said is too obvious.After hearing Ji Moshu's words, everyone blamed him in disagreement.
Yes, Mo Shu, it's too heavy.Su Qingzhou advised.
Ji Moshu shook his head exhaustedly, not willing to say anything else.
Wei Xiaoyi took Ji Moshu's hand and whispered, "Sister Moshu, I'll accompany you to Qingzhou."
Thank you, it’s dangerous to go there, Xiaoyi should not go there.Ji Moshu put his hand on Wei Xiaoyi's head and rubbed it gently. Sure enough, his sister was better.
Wei Xiaoyi angrily knocked his hand on his head and said seriously, "It's because of the danger that I have to go. Although I don't have much ability, I will always have more strength if I have more people."This is how Ji Moshu likes to solve everything by himself, and does not look at how to solve it alone.
I.
Yes, Mo Shu, Xiaoyi is right, I will go with you, how can you do it alone?Su Qingzhou also said.
With Su Qingzhou's words, everyone who was immersed in the future of the Chamber of Commerce came to their senses. When Mr. Ji was not sure about his life and death, they were confused about the future plans of the Chamber of Commerce, which seemed too heartless. No wonder Ji Moshu thought so.
Xiaozhou’s words are reasonable. According to my opinion, not only is Xiaozhou going to go, but we all have to calculate it. Just now, we have thought it apart. Don’t go to heart Xiaoshu.Lao Ji and I have been friends with each other for a long time. I am not a person who forgets righteousness when seeing profit. Don’t worry, we people in Yuzhou have been in the world for so many years, and there is no place in the Lan Kingdom that we don’t know. Let’s ask someone to inquire now.
That's right? Go and call the people who have been traveling south for many years, and also invite the people from the escort agency to come over. They travel around the world, are very skilled and are more clear about the local rules. It is safer to ask them to discuss countermeasures together.
OK
It was like a scene suddenly ushering in a shocking reversal. A person who was quite selfish and seemed to be indifferent and unkind suddenly became affectionate and righteous again, and quickly became involved in the rescue of Mr. Ji.
The money paid and the effort paid, the effort paid were listed in a blink of an eye, and Ji Moshu couldn't interrupt the whole process.
Ji Moshu looked at his uncle, aunt and sister-in-law in a daze, and there was a soft place in his heart that was constantly coming from his heart, and his eyes were actually getting hot again.
Although Su Niang gave her a handwritten letter, she had no choice but to start from Su Niang. On the one hand, she didn't want to owe Su Niang a favor, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Su Niang would get a handle on it. The best way was to rescue Mr. Ji quietly, but with her alone, even if Gu Wanyue and Wei Xiaoyi had little hope.
Now looking at her uncle, aunt and sister-in-law who are in high morale, she is in a complicated mood. In an instant, she thinks she has become a bystander and is silently watching this worldly worldly affairs. Only she can understand the entanglements of the feelings.
The elders obviously have much more experience than her. They know who to ask for information. Just listening to her makes me feel that there is at least hope.
Xiao Shu, you will explain what you know when the escort agency comes later. Do you know?
you……
Ji Moshu's lips were trembling slightly, and he was sobbing that he couldn't speak.
I'm scared, I'm still a child after all, don't worry, we have eaten more salt than you eat, don't worry, follow them to find Lao Ji, there is an old man here, I can't see a big mess. As for the small boat passing the throne, I'll discuss this matter again. If Lao Ji can come back safely, he will decide.Mr. Zhu patted Ji Moshu on the shoulder.
I.
At this moment, Ji Moshu bowed again, and before the words of thanks were expressed, tears fell down first.
Thank you.
Be kind to us, go and accompany your mother.
Um.
Ji Moshu wiped his tears, and when she thought of Su Niang’s advice, she couldn’t help but feel excited.
Now that the Ji family is surrounded by enemies, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. She must go south as soon as possible and transfer Mrs. Ji to a safe place as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be some monsters and monsters coming up and treat her as a bargaining chip for negotiations with Su Niang.
Back at the west courtyard, Mrs. Ji had woken up. Because she had a light sleep, she was much more energetic now, so she was reluctant to let go when she held Ji Moshu's hand.
Shu'er.
Mom has woken up, don’t worry, I will find my dad back.Ji Moshu picked up the Anshen Soup that had not been drunk at the head of the bed, and blew a few thoughtfully, before he could feed Mrs. Ji to drink it.
Mrs. Ji took a few sips and stopped drinking it. She grabbed Ji Moshu again, thinking about having a puzzle with her mother?You know that this is not what your mother wants to ask.She noticed early in the morning that only Ji Moshu came back, Su Niang disappeared, the master disappeared, and the matter about the Chamber of Commerce in Yongzhou was also in full swing. Combined with Su Niang's unknown identity and Ji Moshu's sudden whereabouts were unknown, she could probably guess something.
Mom, I have decided that we will not get involved in these matters in the future. The Chamber of Commerce will give them to others. As for her, Mom, don’t ask. I have nothing to do with her anymore.Ji Moshu lowered his eyes, unwilling to mention those old things again.
Mrs. Ji could hear the fatigue and loneliness in her voice. Mrs. Ji gently stroked Ji Moshu's head. It seemed that her Shu'er suffered a loss in the hands of the woman again, and this time she suffered a great loss.
OK, let’s not mention it anymore, I just miss you so much.She leaned in Ji Moshu's arms. Anyway, she didn't like the thoughtful Su Niang. If it weren't for Ji Moshu's mind at that time, she would have swept the house out of the house, and she would have delayed Shu'er for so long. It would be better now. In the future, she would find a few beautiful and simple Huanghua Shaokun for Shu'er, and it would be good to live a simple life.
Um.Ji Moshu put his chin on Mrs. Ji's shoulder and responded in a muffled voice.
The veterans of the Chamber of Commerce discussed quickly, and the news of Henan businessmen who traveled all over the country for many years was always the most informative. The Ji family's reputation in Yuzhou was no problem. In just a few hours, many people expressed their willingness to help.
Ji Moshu talked about the known situation with the rushing stadiumer. On the periphery of the crowd, Ji Yong, Ji Hao and Ji Laozu were directly ignored and excluded in the corner, and their faces were almost dark.
Ji Yong looked at Ji Moshu, who was surrounded by the crowd like gold, and something suddenly flashed through his mind. He pulled Ji Hao to an uninhabited corner.
Hao'er, have you ever noticed Miss Su San?
Miss Su San?
Ji Hao shook his head. He had never seen Miss Su San before.Miss Su San is a native of Kun, how could she come out to meet people, let alone meet outsiders like him?
You have a look at this first.
Ji Yong took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ji Hao. Ji Hao opened it and glanced at him with a rough look, and he looked surprised.
Dad, this is impossible.
I thought it was impossible before, but today we made a fuss like this and never saw her.Besides, this is the news revealed by the Fang family, so there should be no mistake. The princess is still alive. His Majesty’s various bad deeds in recent years are actually forcing the princess to appear. It can be seen that His Majesty suspects that Miss Su San is a princess.
Dad means that the princess married Ji Moshu?But Ji Moshu doesn't look like he knows it.Ji Hao couldn't believe how could a noble princess marry a merchant?
It is very likely that it doesn’t matter whether Ji Moshu knows it or not. What’s important is that the master is missing now and there are many rumors targeting the business gang. These seem to target Henan merchants, but in fact they all point directly to the Ji family, which shows that Miss Su San is indeed a princess.We might as well hand over Ji Moshu. Without Ji Moshu, will the Ji family without a master still fall into the hands of us father and son?Ji Yong's eyes were full of scheming. The reason why Old Ancestor Ji didn't help him now is because his legitimate daughter is still unable to break the rules, so just get rid of the legitimate daughter. Isn't Your Majesty looking for a princess?
Ji Moshu probably knew where the princess was.
When Ji Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, but it dimmed again in a blink of an eye. He frowned, "Dad, what you said is too ideal. If you make a mistake, we will be the crime of deceiving the king, but we will be beheaded."This involves the royal family, and he is not so brave yet.
Ji Yong praised Ji Hao and said, "You are good boy to make progress, you are right."
What does that dad mean?
We cannot send people there, so we have to reveal the news to the Fang family and let Censor Fang come to His Holiness so angry. Your Majesty is suspicious. At that time, even if His Majesty catches people by himself, he will not blame us for making mistakes.
Good idea, then we will add fuel to the fire and let Your Majesty believe as much as possible that Miss Su San can be caught if you catch Ji Moshu.By the way, Ji Moshu also needs to think about it, and she needs to find a way to let her relax her vigilance. This matter must be killed with one blow.
Good boy, he is more and more scrupulous.
It’s all about father teaching well, but it’s not a husband without poison.
Ji Yong and Ji Hao curled their lips, and their sinister and cunning eyes reflected Ji Moshu's figure was surrounded by the crowd without any warning.
Ji Hao is ambitious. Will all the property adopted by his father be eaten up?
My father was just not sure about his life and death, and the legitimate daughter was still alive, so these people dared to overtake their status as a direct line, and they shamelessly bullied their mother.
Seeing that Mrs. Ji, who was so thin that she could not speak by her ancestors, she suddenly felt unprecedented anger.
What are you doing?
Because of Ji Moshu's angrily scolding, everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Moshu for a moment.Ji Hao thought he was dazzled and subconsciously looked at Ji Yong. Didn’t his father say that Ji Moshu was dead?
Ji Yong was also not sure. He had inquired specifically that Ji Moshu had been missing for more than a month. Not only did Mrs. Ji know, but even all the civil and military officials in the court knew that His Majesty sent someone to "find". It was basically equivalent to the danger of missing in such a remote place for so long. But when he saw Su Qingzhou who came back with him, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, this nosy guy.
Why didn’t Xiao Shu say anything when she came back?He stiffly pulled a full opening remark.
I want to say it back, aren’t this going to surprise my mother?I don’t expect that my cousin has prepared such a grand scene. Could it be that he is welcoming me?Ji Moshu glanced at everyone with a strange look, and then looked at Old Ancestor Ji sitting in the main seat sarcastically.
Although Ancestor Ji is respected as the ancestor, he is not actually a direct line of the direct line. It is just because he is old and a hundred years old is a symbol of blessing in the eyes of the world. Therefore, everyone regards him as a treasure and respectfully calls him his ancestor. But now it seems that he is like an old fairy, immortal.
How did Xiao Shu speak? He didn’t even polite to see his ancestors?Ji Yong scolded Ji Moshu before Old Ancestor Ji spoke.
Ji Moshu's face became colder, and because of the difference between elders and young people, he honestly bowed his hands.
Su Qingzhou also walked forward and looked at Ji Yong, who was anxious to give his strength to his younger generation, and said sarcastically, "Why are you doing Uncle Ji and his wife with so many people?"Could it be that I thought Mo Shu couldn't come back, so I took my son and couldn't wait to eat the family?
What are you talking about? I am just worried about my elder brother and niece.Ji Yong suddenly felt a fever on his face when he was told so directly. His hatred made him itchy and he was almost defeated. Why is Ji Moshu like Cheng Yaojin? As expected, his life is cheap. He has been sick for so long and disappeared for so long and cannot die.
care?Ji Moshu sneered, it didn’t seem to care about me, but my cousin wanted me to come back?She looked at the ancestor Ji who had never spoken and sat upright like Mount Tai. Could the ancestor come with his cousin to help them bully our orphans and widows?
Yonger, what's going on?The old ancestor Ji was also said to have a hot face. Today, it was Ji Yong who came over and said that Mr. Ji was missing and Ji Moshu disappeared. Now the chamber of commerce is competing for the position of president. In order to protect the property and status of the descendants of Ji, he came to "advocate justice."
As a result, Ji Moshu was still alive and jumping around, not the sick person I remembered. Why didn’t Ji Yong tell him that Ji Moshu had cured the disease? It’s outrageous.
The ancestor...is not like this.Ji Yong waved his hand in a hurry and said nothing for a moment.
Humph, a bastard.Old Ancestor Ji cursed inwardly and looked at Ji Moshu and said seriously, "Xiao Shu, your cousin is also worried about your father, and it will be a mess." Today's affairs are over. You can't blame him. Blood relatives are blood relatives, and blood is thicker than water."
Ji Moshu watched coldly. Human relationships and worldly styles are like a ridiculous drama. In the drama, people will show ugly faces at specific times because of their own selfish desires. This is ridiculous.
She came to Mrs. Ji, who was struggling with the table, and hugged the person in her arms.
Shu'er?Mrs. Ji's eyes were swaying with tears. She subconsciously stroked Ji Moshu's face, as if she was dreaming.
After touching the warm and real touch, the pain that had been depressed for many days finally found the vent. Tears burst out in my eyes instantly. She was so angry that she drooped Ji Mo hard, "Where have you gone? Your father... You don't have a figure yet, you are always like this, you are very unfilial."
At this moment, Mrs. Gui couldn't control her fragility in front of so many people. God knows how she lived during this period. Mr. Ji disappeared, and Ji Moshu had no news. There are rumors that Ji Moshu died in a foreign land in an accident. She was lonely and almost left with Ji Moshu.
Sorry, it was my fault, which made my mother worry again.
You also know that you are wrong, it's really a worry-free thing.
It's my fault, I'll take you back to your room to rest first.
Ji Moshu felt an indescribable feeling of grief in his heart. What did her relatives do wrong and why did they suffer these hardships?
Without caring about the emotional excitement that was too chaotic, she picked up Mrs. Ji in the waist and took the person back to the west courtyard in full view of everyone.
Zi Su had already shut all the outsiders away. Ji Moshu put Mrs. Ji on the bed. Seeing the grayish white on Mrs. Ji's head, her heart was suddenly in a state of turmoil. She walked to the tea table and brewed a cup of peace and sound tea in a blink of an eye.
Mom, use some tea first.
Shu'er... Mrs. Ji took a sip of tea with Ji Moshu's hand and looked at Ji Moshu worriedly.
Don't worry, I'll settle them, and my dad is still alive. I will bring my dad back in person. I promise you that we will not care about these messy things in the world from now on and will be together.Ji Moshu held Mrs. Ji in his arms, feeling extremely distressed.
I feel sorry for Mrs. Ji, but also for Mr. Ji and... I feel sorry for myself.
Shu'er, do you have any worries?If you want to say that the person who knows Ji Moshu the most in this world may not be Su Niang, nor Wei Xiaoyi, he can only be Mrs. Ji.
Even if Ji Moshu didn't say it, Madam Ji could still feel that Ji Moshu had lost the kind of vicissitudes of his former spirit after returning, and it was actually full of vicissitudes.
Tears almost popped up in Ji Moshu's eyes, and she smiled bitterly, "Mom, in the past you always told me that good people will be rewarded, but it may not be true."
Everyone in the world says that good people will be rewarded, but judging from her experience, the emperor who did many evil deeds in the people's livelihood enjoys all his glory and wealth, his greedy and shameless cousin is healthy and long-lasting, and the ruthless and unrighteous Su Niang still calmly pursues the throne after hurting her, and even the ignorant people still live step by step after unjustly accusing Henan Shang.
On the contrary, Gu Wanyue was sent to Qingzhou, who was devoted to seeking welfare for her family. Wei Xiaoyi, who valued love and righteousness, almost went to the palace to be a concubine, and she did nothing and was determined to serve the country and the people, almost lost her family.
Good people will be rewarded?Not necessarily, not really.
Shu'er, what's wrong with you?Mrs. Ji was shocked by Ji Moshu's deep despair. What did Ji Moshu experience when he went out?
Ji Moshu's throat choked again, but he still had to tighten the fragility in his eyes. She helped Madam Ji lie on the bed and tucked the quilt carefully. I'm fine, don't worry, my mother shouldn't pay attention to rest. Let's sleep for a while, and I'll drive away the annoying guys.After signaling Mrs. Ji not to worry, she turned to the perilla and spring flowers. Perilla, you can calm the spirit fragrance, and then ordered the kitchen to make some easy-to-digest porridge and spring flowers. You can invite everyone who can talk to the chamber of commerce.
Yes, Miss.
OK.
With Ji Moshu's instructions, Chunhua and Zi Su's actions began.
Ji Moshu quickly returned to the main hall. At this time, the overwhelming Ji clan members were still arguing tirelessly. Su Qingzhou and Wei Xiaoyi did not give any face at all, and stared at them with all the people.
Dear uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law are free today.Ji Moshu walked straight to the main seat of the main hall, one with Ji Laozu, one left and one right, while Su Qingzhou and Wei Xiaoyi sat in the lower position under Ji Moshu's instructions. Such a formation made the hearts of the Ji clan members.
What does cousin mean?Ji Hao said alertly.
What's the meaning?My uncles, aunts, sisters and ancestors don’t know the specific situation and they are confused. Mo Shu can understand it. Today’s incident is just a misunderstanding. Everyone knows that my Ji family is in trouble and takes time to come over to Mo Shu and is grateful. But since I am still alive, I have not adopted my cousin to my father. Today’s incident is abolished, and everyone will go back to their own families.After all, he was a tribe of the same lineage. Ji Moshu couldn't be too shameless, so he gave a step and issued an order to expel guests.
This... The tribesmen hesitated and looked at Ji Yong. Today, Ji Yong said that Ji Hao inherited his own lineage and threatened to give them the qualification to sell salt in the future. But now he is in vain?
how?What objections do you have?Ji Moshu suddenly turned cold and looked at the official officer who was specially called to cheer today. Are the several official officers affiliated with the Yuzhou Prefecture Office?What happened to trespassing into our official residence today?
The official?
Several officials realized that Ji Moshu was the only one in the Ji family’s direct descendants?
That was the Tanhualang this year. Although he was not an official from Yuzhou, he was also an official from the Ministry of War. He was a senior official and he was crushed to death. They suddenly felt furious on their backs and knelt down to salute.
Lord Ji, the subordinates did not intend.
Forget it, the Japanese officials still have to deal with family affairs today, so you can go back first.
Thank you for forgiveness.
The officials quickly knelt down and thanked him for leaving, and their shameless backs seemed very cramped.
Seeing this, the people of the Ji clan all realized the reality. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate daughters. The legitimate daughter is still alive and has no reason to give her family property to her son. As distant relatives, they are not ungrateful and will not be so easy to talk to in the future.
Since Ji Moshu gave him a step, they took the opportunity to go down the donkey.
Xiao Shu, today we care about it, so our uncles and sisters-in-law are leaving now.
Yes, if Xiaoshu needs any help, please call me.
you?Ancestor.
Ji Yong and Ji Hao turned against each other as they called over to put pressure on the tribe, and their faces turned green. They looked at Old Ancestor Ji, but Old Ancestor Ji was not good at breaking the rules. After all, the legitimate daughter is here, and she has an official position, and her body doesn't seem to be sick. If he helps the concubine's son too much, it will be criticized.
Bastard, look at the stupid things you did.As soon as the ancestor Ji leaned on a crutch, he pretended to scold Ji Yong, and then looked at Ji Moshu. Xiao Shu, you will leave your uncle's affairs to my ancestors for discipline. The most urgent task now is to decide on the affairs of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Ji Lang also needs someone to inquire.
Ji Moshu smiled indifferently, but my ancestors said this. Today, I rushed back because of this matter. I had already found out about my father's whereabouts.
What?Ji Yong blurted out in desperation, Ji Lang is still alive?
What is the reaction of my cousin?Ji Moshu stared at Ji Yong.
Old Master Ji also gave Ji Yong a blaming look.
Am I too excited?It’s really God’s vision to be alive.Ji Yong quickly changed his words and secretly scolded Ji Moshu, the little girl, to become more snobbish.
Su Qingzhou couldn't stand it anymore, but why did I feel that Uncle Ji was quite regretful about it?
What are you saying? Su Qingzhou, don’t think that you are from the Su family and our Ji family will give you face. This is the family business of our Ji family.Ji Hao couldn't hold back his anger. How could he bear the mockery of his own father by a junior or an outsider?
Yes.Housework?Su Qingzhou did not give any face at all. I am Mo Shu's sister and a veteran of the Chamber of Commerce. Whether I look for Uncle Ji or choose the Chamber of Commerce president, I am an insider. How can I say something about outsiders?But you, who are you?
Su!light!Boat!
Ji Hao was so angry that he waved his fist and approached Su Qingzhou. Wei Xiaoyi bravely stopped him in front of him. What do you want to do?
Ji Hao was so angry that he dared not speak out. He dared to beat Su Qingzhou, but he didn't dare to beat Wei Xiaoyi. After all, he was the three masters in the dynasty and could not be provoked.
What's the argument?Isn't it embarrassing enough?Old Master Ji knocked on the crutches again and sat down.
snort.Ji Hao glanced at Ji Moshu gloomy and calmed down reluctantly.
At this time, Chunhua also successfully invited the elders of the Chamber of Commerce and their descendants who returned to Yuzhou.
Everyone was very excited when they saw Ji Moshu.
Oh, Xiao Shu, you are back, the Chamber of Commerce is in chaos.There is no news about old Ji and Lao Su, and your whereabouts are unknown, alas.When Mr. Zhu saw Ji Moshu, he felt aggrieved and burst into tears. Old Su was detained in Yongzhou, and a large number of people were stranded. But Lao Ji disappeared at this time. The trouble made everyone who came back this year panic. He could only keep coming forward to calm people and ask people to call Ji Moshu back but get news that Ji Moshu was also missing, which is even worse.
Uncle Zhu was worried.
I'm shocked, don't bother or not, I heard you have found out about Lao Ji's whereabouts?
Um.
Ji Moshu nodded, then stood up, and suddenly bowed with his fists in his hands. Today, I called you here not only because of my father's affairs, but also because of the passing of the throne.
Passing the throne?
That's right, my father's whereabouts are still unknown. Considering that the Chamber of Commerce cannot live without people, I plan to pass the position of president to Su Qingzhou.
Mo Shu!
Although he expected Ji Moshu to pass the throne, he did not expect that he would pass it to her. Su Qingzhou immediately stood up, with an unconcealed excitement on his face.
To be honest, she prefers to be a businessman and traveling around at home and abroad than to get fame and fortune in the officialdom. However, because Mr. Su has never agreed, Ji Moshu now mentioned that she was surprised.
This is inappropriate. The president's affairs must be decided by Lao Ji, even if the temporary president is temporarily held, Xiao Shu should be the one who will be there.Mr. Zhu expressed his disagreement first. Although Su Qingzhou, a child, has talent, this kind of thing does not depend on talent, but on his background. If Su Qingzhou, as a member of the Su family, becomes the president, it will only make the emperor even more afraid.
Yes, this kind of thing still needs to be carefully considered.The Chamber of Commerce has been the leader of the Ji family for a hundred years. The Ji family is kind, and we are willing to make a living with the Ji family.Everyone expressed their sincerity to the Ji family. After years of experience, the Ji family has withstood the test of people's hearts, so everyone naturally prefers to let the trusted Ji family be the president.
Ji Moshu had long expected everyone to refute this. She brought up the pre-prepared remarks. I know that everyone values the Ji family. It is the honor of the Ji family to be recognized by everyone. But now I need to find my father. Besides, I am already in an official position, so I am not suitable for doing business. Everyone can see Sister Su's abilities, and there is no more suitable candidate than her.
But after all, Xiaozhou is from the Su family. After all, she became the president and emperor and beat us all to death?Xiao Shu, we know you are in a hurry to find Lao Ji, but you can't push us into the fire pit.
Yes, if President Ji was there, he would never have done anything so randomly. Xiao Shu, please consider it again, this is not OK.
I know everyone’s concerns, but the Ji family has paid too much for the Chamber of Commerce over the years. Now my father is unknown in life and death, but I am alone. I am confused about the road ahead. Everyone may have expectations for glory and wealth, but I only hope that my relatives will be safe. This time, I forgive the Ji family for being powerless.Ji Moshu simply told his words.
This has been the case with human hearts since ancient times. When you have something to ask for, there are a lot of good words, but when it comes to conflicts of interest, you will show your selfishness.
Whether it is the ignorant people in Zhucheng, the south, or these uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law, the essence is actually the same.
Since everyone is selfish, why should she make contributions?
Xiao Shu, what you said is too obvious.After hearing Ji Moshu's words, everyone blamed him in disagreement.
Yes, Mo Shu, it's too heavy.Su Qingzhou advised.
Ji Moshu shook his head exhaustedly, not willing to say anything else.
Wei Xiaoyi took Ji Moshu's hand and whispered, "Sister Moshu, I'll accompany you to Qingzhou."
Thank you, it’s dangerous to go there, Xiaoyi should not go there.Ji Moshu put his hand on Wei Xiaoyi's head and rubbed it gently. Sure enough, his sister was better.
Wei Xiaoyi angrily knocked his hand on his head and said seriously, "It's because of the danger that I have to go. Although I don't have much ability, I will always have more strength if I have more people."This is how Ji Moshu likes to solve everything by himself, and does not look at how to solve it alone.
I.
Yes, Mo Shu, Xiaoyi is right, I will go with you, how can you do it alone?Su Qingzhou also said.
With Su Qingzhou's words, everyone who was immersed in the future of the Chamber of Commerce came to their senses. When Mr. Ji was not sure about his life and death, they were confused about the future plans of the Chamber of Commerce, which seemed too heartless. No wonder Ji Moshu thought so.
Xiaozhou’s words are reasonable. According to my opinion, not only is Xiaozhou going to go, but we all have to calculate it. Just now, we have thought it apart. Don’t go to heart Xiaoshu.Lao Ji and I have been friends with each other for a long time. I am not a person who forgets righteousness when seeing profit. Don’t worry, we people in Yuzhou have been in the world for so many years, and there is no place in the Lan Kingdom that we don’t know. Let’s ask someone to inquire now.
That's right? Go and call the people who have been traveling south for many years, and also invite the people from the escort agency to come over. They travel around the world, are very skilled and are more clear about the local rules. It is safer to ask them to discuss countermeasures together.
OK
It was like a scene suddenly ushering in a shocking reversal. A person who was quite selfish and seemed to be indifferent and unkind suddenly became affectionate and righteous again, and quickly became involved in the rescue of Mr. Ji.
The money paid and the effort paid, the effort paid were listed in a blink of an eye, and Ji Moshu couldn't interrupt the whole process.
Ji Moshu looked at his uncle, aunt and sister-in-law in a daze, and there was a soft place in his heart that was constantly coming from his heart, and his eyes were actually getting hot again.
Although Su Niang gave her a handwritten letter, she had no choice but to start from Su Niang. On the one hand, she didn't want to owe Su Niang a favor, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Su Niang would get a handle on it. The best way was to rescue Mr. Ji quietly, but with her alone, even if Gu Wanyue and Wei Xiaoyi had little hope.
Now looking at her uncle, aunt and sister-in-law who are in high morale, she is in a complicated mood. In an instant, she thinks she has become a bystander and is silently watching this worldly worldly affairs. Only she can understand the entanglements of the feelings.
The elders obviously have much more experience than her. They know who to ask for information. Just listening to her makes me feel that there is at least hope.
Xiao Shu, you will explain what you know when the escort agency comes later. Do you know?
you……
Ji Moshu's lips were trembling slightly, and he was sobbing that he couldn't speak.
I'm scared, I'm still a child after all, don't worry, we have eaten more salt than you eat, don't worry, follow them to find Lao Ji, there is an old man here, I can't see a big mess. As for the small boat passing the throne, I'll discuss this matter again. If Lao Ji can come back safely, he will decide.Mr. Zhu patted Ji Moshu on the shoulder.
I.
At this moment, Ji Moshu bowed again, and before the words of thanks were expressed, tears fell down first.
Thank you.
Be kind to us, go and accompany your mother.
Um.
Ji Moshu wiped his tears, and when she thought of Su Niang’s advice, she couldn’t help but feel excited.
Now that the Ji family is surrounded by enemies, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. She must go south as soon as possible and transfer Mrs. Ji to a safe place as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be some monsters and monsters coming up and treat her as a bargaining chip for negotiations with Su Niang.
Back at the west courtyard, Mrs. Ji had woken up. Because she had a light sleep, she was much more energetic now, so she was reluctant to let go when she held Ji Moshu's hand.
Shu'er.
Mom has woken up, don’t worry, I will find my dad back.Ji Moshu picked up the Anshen Soup that had not been drunk at the head of the bed, and blew a few thoughtfully, before he could feed Mrs. Ji to drink it.
Mrs. Ji took a few sips and stopped drinking it. She grabbed Ji Moshu again, thinking about having a puzzle with her mother?You know that this is not what your mother wants to ask.She noticed early in the morning that only Ji Moshu came back, Su Niang disappeared, the master disappeared, and the matter about the Chamber of Commerce in Yongzhou was also in full swing. Combined with Su Niang's unknown identity and Ji Moshu's sudden whereabouts were unknown, she could probably guess something.
Mom, I have decided that we will not get involved in these matters in the future. The Chamber of Commerce will give them to others. As for her, Mom, don’t ask. I have nothing to do with her anymore.Ji Moshu lowered his eyes, unwilling to mention those old things again.
Mrs. Ji could hear the fatigue and loneliness in her voice. Mrs. Ji gently stroked Ji Moshu's head. It seemed that her Shu'er suffered a loss in the hands of the woman again, and this time she suffered a great loss.
OK, let’s not mention it anymore, I just miss you so much.She leaned in Ji Moshu's arms. Anyway, she didn't like the thoughtful Su Niang. If it weren't for Ji Moshu's mind at that time, she would have swept the house out of the house, and she would have delayed Shu'er for so long. It would be better now. In the future, she would find a few beautiful and simple Huanghua Shaokun for Shu'er, and it would be good to live a simple life.
Um.Ji Moshu put his chin on Mrs. Ji's shoulder and responded in a muffled voice.
The veterans of the Chamber of Commerce discussed quickly, and the news of Henan businessmen who traveled all over the country for many years was always the most informative. The Ji family's reputation in Yuzhou was no problem. In just a few hours, many people expressed their willingness to help.
Ji Moshu talked about the known situation with the rushing stadiumer. On the periphery of the crowd, Ji Yong, Ji Hao and Ji Laozu were directly ignored and excluded in the corner, and their faces were almost dark.
Ji Yong looked at Ji Moshu, who was surrounded by the crowd like gold, and something suddenly flashed through his mind. He pulled Ji Hao to an uninhabited corner.
Hao'er, have you ever noticed Miss Su San?
Miss Su San?
Ji Hao shook his head. He had never seen Miss Su San before.Miss Su San is a native of Kun, how could she come out to meet people, let alone meet outsiders like him?
You have a look at this first.
Ji Yong took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ji Hao. Ji Hao opened it and glanced at him with a rough look, and he looked surprised.
Dad, this is impossible.
I thought it was impossible before, but today we made a fuss like this and never saw her.Besides, this is the news revealed by the Fang family, so there should be no mistake. The princess is still alive. His Majesty’s various bad deeds in recent years are actually forcing the princess to appear. It can be seen that His Majesty suspects that Miss Su San is a princess.
Dad means that the princess married Ji Moshu?But Ji Moshu doesn't look like he knows it.Ji Hao couldn't believe how could a noble princess marry a merchant?
It is very likely that it doesn’t matter whether Ji Moshu knows it or not. What’s important is that the master is missing now and there are many rumors targeting the business gang. These seem to target Henan merchants, but in fact they all point directly to the Ji family, which shows that Miss Su San is indeed a princess.We might as well hand over Ji Moshu. Without Ji Moshu, will the Ji family without a master still fall into the hands of us father and son?Ji Yong's eyes were full of scheming. The reason why Old Ancestor Ji didn't help him now is because his legitimate daughter is still unable to break the rules, so just get rid of the legitimate daughter. Isn't Your Majesty looking for a princess?
Ji Moshu probably knew where the princess was.
When Ji Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, but it dimmed again in a blink of an eye. He frowned, "Dad, what you said is too ideal. If you make a mistake, we will be the crime of deceiving the king, but we will be beheaded."This involves the royal family, and he is not so brave yet.
Ji Yong praised Ji Hao and said, "You are good boy to make progress, you are right."
What does that dad mean?
We cannot send people there, so we have to reveal the news to the Fang family and let Censor Fang come to His Holiness so angry. Your Majesty is suspicious. At that time, even if His Majesty catches people by himself, he will not blame us for making mistakes.
Good idea, then we will add fuel to the fire and let Your Majesty believe as much as possible that Miss Su San can be caught if you catch Ji Moshu.By the way, Ji Moshu also needs to think about it, and she needs to find a way to let her relax her vigilance. This matter must be killed with one blow.
Good boy, he is more and more scrupulous.
It’s all about father teaching well, but it’s not a husband without poison.
Ji Yong and Ji Hao curled their lips, and their sinister and cunning eyes reflected Ji Moshu's figure was surrounded by the crowd without any warning.
