Chapter 357 Chapter 358 Extra 3: Meeting, Grandpa’s arrangement

It was still the first month of the year, and the old street was crowded. The

teahouse was at the end of the road, a small courtyard alone.

Uncle Meng had heard that the person behind this teahouse was of great origin. It only received a limited number of guests every day, and the atmosphere was quiet.

Uncle Meng came here for the first time. As soon as he pushed open the door and walked in, he saw the lacquered wooden square table in the lobby, and a few old men standing in the courtyard talking in low voices.

The door in the courtyard was closed again, isolating the noise outside.

Follow the carved wooden stairs next to it to the private room upstairs.

Ji Heng gave the number of the private room and someone took him to the back. The private room was at the back of the second floor. Two men in black plain clothes stood outside the room. They had stern eyes and looked quite powerful.

They were not Jiang Jing's guards, and Ji Heng didn't know them.

He stopped and was about to reveal his identity to the two guards.

The man on the left opened the bamboo curtain and let Ji Heng in.

Uncle Meng was a little surprised to see the two people standing outside the private room, and he could also tell that they seemed to be bodyguards.

He stayed outside, but at the moment when the curtain was opened, he seemed to see two people sitting at the square wooden table.

Inside the private room.

The environment was a little closed.

Bai Zhu sat leisurely by the window, watching the water flowing under the small bridge below. A small boat slowly passed through the arch bridge. Red lanterns were hung on both sides of the shore. There were bluestone roads, white walls and blue tiles.

It was a painting of ink and color, everything was low-key and quiet.

She retracted her gaze, crossed her arms and looked at Ji Heng's mental state. It can be seen that he has been quite relaxed recently.

It seems that he has more feelings for the Ji family.

Jiang Fuli picked up the teapot and poured tea for Ji Heng opposite him. The fragrance of tea filled the air.

Next to it was the gift box that Ji Heng wanted.

Ji Heng picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip slowly, then spoke to the two of them, "Just have someone send it to me."

Jiang Fuli put down the teapot slowly and said lazily, "I'm not that busy, we are on vacation these two days."

Uncle Meng was still waiting outside, and Ji Heng didn't stay any longer. After drinking a pot of tea, he went out with a bunch of gift boxes.

Jiang Fuli bent down, lifted the curtain and sent him out.

He said goodbye to Ji Heng in a low voice.

His cold eyebrows were drooping, and when he spoke lazily, he was very stylish and had a noble aura.

Uncle Meng lowered his eyes subconsciously, and was secretly surprised. Ji Heng said she was his granddaughter, so who was this person with an obviously extraordinary aura?

After leaving the teahouse, Uncle Meng stepped out of the small courtyard and walked into the bustling street.

"Grandpa," Uncle Meng looked at the box in Ji Heng's hand, "I'll help you carry it."

**

The back door of the teahouse.

An executive car slowly stopped at the door. The middle-aged man hurried down and walked quickly inside. "Pei Qin is really something. He didn't tell me such a big thing earlier!"

He walked inside while adjusting his suit.

When he reached the second floor and saw two guards at the door, he took a deep breath and adjusted his clothes.

The two guards obviously also knew the middle-aged man. They nodded slightly and greeted, "Mr. Pei."

Pei's father nodded politely to the two before raising his hand to open the curtain and go in.

"Hello, Miss Bai," he is Pei Qin's father and the boss behind the teahouse. Pei Qin just called him to tell him that Bai Shi was in the teahouse. "I am Pei Yuanfu, Pei Qin's father."

"Hello." Bai Shi stood up and shook hands with Pei's father.

Next to him, Jiang Fuli was talking to housekeeper Jiang on the phone and nodded slightly to Pei's father as a greeting.

Pei's father felt nervous and didn't dare to look at him any more.

He just thanked Bai Shi in a low voice. Not to mention that Bai Shi took good care of Pei Qin and the people from the other four cities after college. During the senior high school training camp, Pei's father heard Pei Qin talk about Bai Shi, a seed player.

Now, it goes without saying that Bai Shi is also one of the initiators of the largest scientific research project in Xicheng in the past ten years.

Pei Yuanfu carefully remembered Pei Qin's instructions and did not dare to talk to Bai Shi and the others. He

only whispered a few words and turned to leave.

Jiang Fuli shook the teacup and asked politely, "Don't you have Lao Banzhang tea?"

Pei Yuanfu opened the teahouse and was a tea ceremony enthusiast, so he was naturally very knowledgeable about tea.

Hearing Jiang Fuli talking about this, he hurriedly said, "I'll have someone send it over right away."

This teahouse used to have Lao Banzhang tea with a younger age, but in the past two years, Lao Banzhang tea has been particularly popular and the price is extremely high. Pei Yuanfu's teahouse can no longer afford Lao Banzhang tea.

Pei Yuanfu also asked someone to buy two small cans and kept them at home as a collection. He was reluctant to drink them.

After leaving the house, he immediately made a phone call and asked someone to send it over as soon as possible.

In the private room.

Jiang Fuli opened the window a little and spoke to Bai Ti, "Butler Jiang will be here soon to show you the style."

Bai Ti made another pot of tea, "What style?"

Jiang Fuli did not reply.

Bai Ti raised her eyebrows.

Not long after, Butler Jiang came over with a brocade box, opened it, and showed Bai Ti the embroidery inside, "Miss Bai, look, do you like this kind of embroidery?"

Bai Ti stood up and looked down at the embroidery.

Hundreds of butterflies are intertwined among the flowers, and the stitches are fine.

Bai Ti has seen Ji Heng's embroidery many times and can tell a little bit about it. This work is okay, but not as good as Ji Heng's craftsmanship. Ji Heng is still an amateur.

"It's okay." She nodded.

But Butler Jiang could see that she didn't think very highly of it.

Especially...

Butler Jiang looked at the vivid poppies on Baisui's collar. He didn't know much about embroidery, but he could tell from just a simple glance that even those plain poppies were more artistic than the butterflies flying through the flowers.

**

Ji family.

Ji Lang received the news.

He hung up the phone, stood up and talked to his parents, "The one above doesn't like this work, I'd better go to Grandma."

Originally, Ji Lang wanted to let the people from their third room to make this embroidery, and didn't want Grandma's people to interfere.

But others didn't look at the embroidery of the third room, so Ji Lang had to go to Grandma.

"Embroidery? Alang, you mean..."

Ji Lang nodded, "Grandma, the opportunity cannot be missed." Grandma

naturally knew the importance of this matter. She asked someone to get a copy of her award-winning work two years ago, "Since it is a cloud brocade phoenix robe, the girl must be using it as a wedding dress, and she won't be very old."

When Ji Heng came back, Grandma and Ji Lang were looking at her award-winning embroidery.

It was an embroidery of red plums reflecting the snow, and the red and white colors intertwined to form a painting.

Ji Heng took a look and nodded secretly.

When the grandmother saw Ji Heng, she let go of her hand and greeted Ji Heng.

Uncle Meng put down some of the gift boxes, "Grandma, this is the New Year gift that Grandpa gave to you and the second and third uncles."

The gift boxes were decorated very delicately.

Ji Lang glanced at the gift box casually, not taking it too seriously, and hurriedly left with the grandmother's work.

The grandmother sat down again, and heard that Ji Heng was going to see his granddaughter, "Why didn't you bring her back with you?"

"She's been a little busy lately." Ji Heng just evaded. She

might bring guards back.

Of course, he was also afraid that the situation of the Ji family would affect Bai Xi's development. Bai Xi didn't even go to the Mu family very often, so her relationship with the Xu family was a little better.

After all, her identity was special, and Ji Heng didn't want to embarrass her.

The grandmother looked at Ji Heng strangely, why are you still so busy during the winter vacation?

But Ji Heng never said much, she hesitated for a moment, and then asked Ji Heng about the past few decades, "If you don't come back, we can't find any news about you, you..."

"Sorry." Ji Heng was very sorry, but didn't explain much.

Ji Heng knew that he had a special identity.

Ji Mulan had left the Ji family, but he still got into trouble frequently. During that time, he stayed in Xiangcheng incognito.

He didn't want to affect the Ji family.

Now because of the incident with Bai Zhu and them, many people in the country have been purged, so Ji Heng chose to come back this year.

After Ji Heng left.

The grandmother asked someone to send Ji Heng's gifts to the second and third rooms respectively, and then asked Uncle Meng about Ji Heng.

"This... that Miss Xi doesn't seem to be that simple, but..." Uncle Meng hesitated for a moment, and told Xiao Qi's story.

"Didn't finish junior high school?" The grandmother was a little shocked, and sat on the chair in a daze.

She remembered that

Ji Wanxin was admitted to Jiangjing University. She went to Jiangjing to study alone.

With such talent, she was the most famous talented woman in Xicheng, and many people were flocking to her.

I really can't bear to see her descendants like this.

The grandmother sat for a while, raised her hand, and sighed: "Let someone find an international junior high school, and let Alang pay more attention to it. Find a time to tell the eldest aunt, don't delay the child."

Ji Lang's fiancee's family is engaged in the education industry, and it is right to find them to return.

**

The residence of the second master of the Ji family.

After he and Ji Yun came back, the second grandmother showed him the gift she had sent.

"That's just right, don't you like smoking?" She showed the second master of the Ji family a box of rolled tobacco placed next to him in an exquisite wooden box, as well as two cans of tea and an embroidery.

The second master of the Ji family didn't want to see the gift from Ji Heng at first.

When Zi'ah saw the embroidery, he was stunned for a moment, and then he stroked the orchid on it with a slightly trembling finger.

It can be seen that the embroidery is new.

But...

the stitches and charm of this masterpiece, the second master of the Ji family can see that this is the style of Ji Wanxin.

But Ji Wanxin has been dead for so many years, it should not be embroidered by her, it can only be Ji Heng.

The second master of the Ji family knew that it took Ji Heng some time to learn and pass down Ji Wanxin's embroidery skills.

"If you don't want it, I'll take it back and give it to my cousin..." The second grandmother looked at the second master sideways and said slowly.

"Take it to my study." The second master of the Ji family turned around.

The second grandmother looked at his back, "What about the tea and tobacco? I don't think you like them very much..." "

Take them all over." "

..."

After the people left, the second grandmother looked at Ji Jun, "Your grandfather, he is just arrogant."

The third room.

The third master of the Ji family has always been very ambitious, and he started paving the way from Ji Lang's fiancée.

The An family is a scholarly family in Xicheng. Grandpa An works in the Xicheng Education Bureau. Both An's father and mother are professors at Xida University. The whole family is pedantic, and the entire educational circle in Xicheng is their network.

Ji Lang is the backbone of the third house.

He delivered the embroidery of the grandmother overnight, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening when he came back.

Uncle Meng was respectfully taking the gifts that Ji Heng brought to them, and mentioned the school to the third house.

There are no embroidery products in the third house, only special products of Xiangcheng, and beautifully packaged tea and tobacco.

The tea and tobacco were carefully packaged by Xiaoqi, and they were very beautiful.

After Uncle Meng left, the third master of the Ji family casually threw the tea and tobacco aside and ignored it.

"Grandpa," Ji Lang frowned, "the school they are talking about..."

"Don't worry about it."

**

Ji Heng has been following Uncle Meng these days to review the places Ji Wanxin used to like to go.

But it has been decades.

Some places have been renovated, and some have been rebuilt.

Only the municipal government still has old houses and old buildings, but most of them are not open to the public.

"In the past, Miss Wanxin wrote a speech here," Uncle Meng took Ji Heng to watch from outside across the street, "Grandpa, there are people standing guard here, we can't get too close."

Ji Heng nodded, "Okay."

From a distance, the municipal center building can be seen, and there are security guards at the gate. You

need an ID to go in.

Ji Heng picked up his phone and wanted to take a photo, print it out, and bring it back to Xiangcheng to show Ji Wanxin.

He did this every time he saw the scenery before.

Uncle Meng was startled, "Grandpa, you can't take pictures here."

"Sorry." Ji Heng put away his phone.

As the two were talking, they saw three young men coming out of the municipal center from a distance, and a man in an executive jacket was seeing them out.

"Grandpa, let's move aside." Uncle Meng led Ji Heng back.

Ji Heng's eyes were still fixed on the sycamore tree next to the building.

In front, three young men were about to get on the bus, and the boy in the middle suddenly moved to the side for some unknown reason.

The middle-aged man in the executive jacket also followed out.

Uncle Meng saw this and hurriedly whispered, "Grandpa, let's go over there and come back later."

Ji Heng looked away in a trance, nodded, and left with Uncle Meng.

He picked up the cigarette and lit it.

Behind him, Ning Xiao saw Ji Heng was about to leave, and hurriedly called him, "Grandpa!"

He and Tang Ming had been following Bai Shi's call.

Ji Heng pulled himself out of his emotions, turned around, saw that it was Ning Xiao, and stopped, "Xiao Ning."

Ning Xiao came here today to discuss the project. He walked a few steps closer, "Grandpa, why are you here?"

"Come to see the municipal building." Ji Heng still had the phone in his hand.

Ning Xiao never talked much, so he just introduced himself to Pei Qin and the others in a concise way: "Sister Xi's grandpa."

When they heard that he was Bai Xi's grandpa, Pei Qin and Wang Xu immediately perked up.

Pei Qin bowed to Ji Heng and introduced himself politely: "Hello, grandpa, I am Pei Qin, and I was in the same team with Sister Xi."

Wang Xu even bowed 90 degrees, "Hello, grandpa, welcome to Xicheng! My name is Wang Xu, you can just call me Xiao Wang. Grandpa, are you here to see the Municipal Building? I'll take you in for a tour."

Bai Xi's grandpa called Ning Xiao Xiao Ning, and called him Xiao Wang.

Rounding off, he is as good as Ning Xiao.

I went to an event and came back at 11 o'clock. I wrote too late...it's already past 3 o'clock...it's not appropriate to say good night, so good morning to everyone~
