Chapter 359 Chapter 360 Extra 5: Bai Shi’s Strength

Xiao Qi packed the gift boxes under Xue Chun’s instruction. Both of them

have good aesthetic taste. Both the wooden box and the decorations on it are very elegant.

Uncle Meng also helped to bring it back at that time. He was deeply impressed by the gift box and recognized it at a glance.

Whose family actually threw this gift box out as garbage?

Uncle Meng’s heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the next second, the cleaner said politely, "This is the garbage in the yard of the third master."

Third master?

Bai Shi didn’t know who he was, so she just thanked him, "Thank you."

She took the gift box in her hand and followed Uncle Meng to continue walking inside. When she looked at Uncle Meng, her expression was the same as before, casual and casual.

Seeing Uncle Meng looking over, she smiled at him politely.

It seemed that she didn't take the gift box in the trash can to heart.

Uncle Meng looked a little uneasy despite his gentle expression.

**

When Bai Zhu arrived, Ji Heng had basically packed up his things.

The second master of the Ji family was standing in the middle of the hall, wanting to go back to Xiangcheng with Ji Heng.

He held a self-rolled tobacco in his hand and looked at the embroidery frame on the left, "If you don't bring her back, you have to let me go to pay her respects. It's been forty years."

Second Master Ji actually knew that when Ji Wanxin was at home, she often contacted people from the municipal government.

Later, she was admitted to Jiangjing and ended up with this Mu Heng. The two of them hid from the public and no news was heard or found.

The second master of the Ji family guessed at that time that Ji Wanxin and Mu Heng might have already belonged to the state. He couldn't

blame Mu Heng. Even without Mu Heng, Ji Wanxin would have made this choice.

He couldn't let go of the fact that Ji Heng hadn't contacted them for so long, and hadn't brought Ji Wanxin back.

Ji Heng was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "It's okay now."

The eldest grandmother stood aside and sighed silently.

The Ji family is now in a white-hot situation. Compared with the eager third room, the eldest grandmother prefers the stable second room. Recently, the third room has frequently achieved good results, especially with a cooperation in Jiangjing. The

eldest grandmother still doesn't know what this cooperation is.

It would be disadvantageous for the second master Ji to leave at this juncture.

She also knew that she couldn't persuade the second master Ji.

She sighed and saw two people walking in from the door.

In the middle of winter, girls wearing white sweatshirts looked very thin.

She stepped over the threshold and walked in slowly.

The dark-toned room suddenly became bright because of her arrival.

The grandmother looked over. She didn't need Uncle Meng to introduce her. She knew that this must be the "A-Xi" mentioned by Ji Heng. This person had such a special temperament.

It was Second Master Ji who seemed a little surprised.

Bai-Xi walked in and greeted politely.

She observed the facilities in the room calmly and guessed what her grandmother did.

In fact, there was no need to guess. The Mu family had never been related to embroidery. It was needless to say who Ji Heng's embroidery skills came from.

"This is my granddaughter, Bai Ti." Seeing Bai Ti, Ji Heng's expression softened a lot, and he raised his chin slightly to introduce her to the people in the room.

You can see how proud he is.

As for the gift box in Bai Ti's hand, Ji Heng took a look and looked away, as if he had guessed it.

But he didn't care too much.

Ji Heng had to catch a plane and didn't stay long.

Grandma sent them out the door, and when she sent them away, she asked Bai Ti, "Good boy, do you want to stay at the Ji family for a few days? Let your grandfather and the others go back first?"

"Thank you, I have other things to do." Bai Ti declined politely.

After the car drove away, the grandmother walked back and admired Bai Xi to Uncle Meng, "She is studying at Jiangjing University and is so well-behaved. She is worthy of being Wanxin's descendant and has her style." After returning to

the courtyard, the grandmother thought of the gift box that Bai Xi brought over.

There were two of these gift boxes in the grandmother's room.

"It's from the third master's room," Uncle Meng said truthfully, "The third master probably didn't pay attention and accidentally lost the gift box. Miss Bai picked it out of the trash can."

The grandmother was shocked, "This...they..."

Even if she didn't like it, she should find a place to put it instead of throwing it into the trash can.

What kind of etiquette is this?

She asked someone to find the third master of the Ji family.

Although the third master Ji didn't like the gift, he wouldn't throw it away. "It should have been placed in the corner with some waste last night, and the servant cleaned it up together."

He explained.

"You can call them later and explain it." The eldest grandmother sighed.

The third master Ji responded and changed the subject, "The Che family also sent embroidery, but in the end we were slightly better. In two days, I plan to treat the housekeeper to a dinner..."

After saying this, he turned and left the courtyard.

Of course, as for what the eldest grandmother said about calling to explain the gift, he seemed to have forgotten it.

"Where's my second brother?" he asked the person next to him.

After hearing that the second master Ji went to Xiangcheng, the third master Ji shook his head, "Why would he go there."

In the past two years, the third master Ji has also heard many people talk about Xiangcheng, especially young people who love to check in at Xiangcheng.

But it was a fact that the city was poor before, and it was a fire.

However, Master Ji San did not think that this small city could change much. But it was good for him to go to Xiangcheng. Master Ji San was going to take advantage of this time to make the Fengpao thing a reality.

**

Master Ji Er accompanied Ji Heng to Xiangcheng. He

bought the tickets directly.

After getting off the plane, he saw the newly built Xiangcheng Airport. It was not big, but very distinctive, not as shabby as Master Ji Er imagined.

He followed Ji Heng off the plane.

Passing by the newly built Liudao Road, he looked at the tourist ring road, major shopping malls, and the residential area under construction.

Various large enterprises have settled in Xiangcheng.

This level of investment is comparable to that of new first-tier cities.

How much do the higher-ups value Xiangcheng?

Master Ji was shocked.

Arrived at Qingshui Street.

Seeing the huge flow of people on Qingshui Street, he was shocked for a long time, "You live here?"

This should be a popular tourist attraction, right?

Ji Heng lives here?

How come it is completely different from what he imagined?

Master Ji was shocked, but followed Ji Heng to his residence with a calm face.

"I'll take you to pay homage tomorrow morning," Ji Heng said to Master Ji as he walked towards the yard, "It should be closed at this time."

Cemetery?

Master Ji thought it was normal for the cemetery to be closed.

He followed Ji Heng to the gate of the yard, looked around the clean yard, and saw two old men playing chess next door.

Ji Heng's yard door was locked, so he took out his key to open the door.

The old man next door, who was thinking hard about how to play chess, heard the sound, stood up, and greeted Ji Heng, "Old Ji, you are finally back? Just right, Old Jian is looking for you."

As he said that, he took the chessboard and returned to his own house in a flash. He

handed Dean Jian to Ji Heng.

Ji Heng opened the door and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" "

I came to Xiangcheng to join in the fun and visit classmate Bai," Dean Jian walked over slowly, not feeling guilty for bullying the old man next door, "She has been busy for several months, and Yan Yu hasn't released a new song for half a year."

Ji Heng couldn't answer for Bai Yu about these, so he just opened the door.

He introduced the other party to Dean Jian, the second master Ji.

"Hello, Mr. Ji." Dean Jian shook hands with the second master Ji in a friendly manner.

The second master Ji looked at Dean Jian's clothes and behavior and could see that this person was not simple. Of course, the second master Ji didn't know what "song" Dean Jian was talking about.

But...

he knew the big star Yan Lu.

After all, the other party was very popular, and Ji Erye had even watched the drama "Da Yong".

Ji Heng and the others knew Yan Lu?

Not only did they know him, but he sounded very familiar.

Especially, Ji Heng said that this person was Bai Lu's friend regardless of age difference?

After shaking hands with Dean Jian, he continued to look for Ji Heng, "You should also urge classmate Bai, she is too lazy, this won't work, you see Yan Lu has finished filming the movie..."

Ji Heng went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea for them.

Pretend not to hear.

In the yard, Ji Erye and the steward beside him looked at each other in surprise.

**

The next day.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Ji Heng took Ji Erye to pay homage to Ji Wanxin.

Master Ji had always thought that Ji Wanxin was in the cemetery, but he didn't expect Ji Heng to take him directly to a tourist attraction.

This attraction was obviously quite popular, and there were people all along the way.

"Are you sure, it's here?" Master Ji had been climbing the mountain, and he was a little exhausted, panting.

But seeing that Ji Heng was still climbing the mountain calmly, as if he was walking on flat ground, he didn't feel comfortable asking for a rest.

At the same time, he muttered to himself, how can Ji Heng have such good physical strength?

Ji Heng turned into another small road, and there were fewer people here.

Only a few tourists were encountered here and there.

After turning into another small road, he finally saw a few tall tombstones. Ji Heng stood beside them for a while, and then said, "This is it."

He took out the incense and, as usual, a pot of wine.

Master Ji was really shocked at the moment.

Looking at Ji Wanxin's tombstone, he hadn't reacted for a long time. Aren't tombstones in this kind of scenic spot usually monuments to great men and heroes?

With his mind in a mess, he took out the incense candles and paid tribute to Ji Wanxin.

Next to him, Ji Heng poured wine in front of the other two tombstones, and then burned paper money in silence.

The atmosphere was depressing.

When going down the mountain, Ji Heng slowly spoke to Master Ji, "I was delivering news to the country from abroad before, and the enemy was watching closely. Wanxin had been passing on the news when she visited me as a pregnant woman, but later, she was still discovered..." Ji

Heng told Master Ji what he could say.

Give him an explanation.

"I have been guarding Xiangcheng the whole time," Ji Heng put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sunlight above his head, "It's been less popular in the past two years, so I found a chance to go back to the Ji family."

**

Master Ji stayed in Xiangcheng for two days.

He went to see the popular Wutong Street, the Calligraphy Association and the Martial Arts School.

He went there with Dean Jian.

Dean Jian liked to visit the Calligraphy Association. In the Calligraphy Association, he met a middle-aged woman in a suit. Master Ji saw Dean Jian chatting with the middle-aged woman for a long time.

He stood aside and looked at the works hanging on the wall of the Calligraphy Association without saying a word. He

just thought that this was someone Dean Jian knew.

However, when he heard the middle-aged woman call Jian Zhongyou "Dean Jian" and the respect on the woman's face, Master Ji was surprised again. Is he still a dean? What dean?

Dean Jian and the middle-aged woman walked to the stage outside.

Looking at the tourists outside.

Master Ji followed behind them and heard the staff outside call the middle-aged woman "Director Sun".

"Who is she?" Master Ji was stunned again and asked the young man next to him.

"Are you talking about Director Sun?" The young man next to him smiled and said, "This is the director of our Xiangcheng Culture and Tourism Bureau. She is approachable and young people like her."

Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau?

Master Ji's gaze turned to Dean Jian again. The director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau was so respectful to Jian Zhongyou.

Then who is this "Dean Jian"?

That's fine. Ji Heng seemed to say that "Dean Jian" and Bai Zhu were friends regardless of age difference?

**

West City.

Housekeeper Jiang came to confirm the size and the pattern she liked with Bai Ti.

Bai Ti looked at the snow plum painting next to her and remembered the incident at the Ji family. She knew that housekeeper Jiang was making clothes for her, so she asked a few more questions about who housekeeper Jiang had found to cooperate with.

Having been to the Ji family, Bai Ti also knew that the Ji family had a background.

Housekeeper Jiang naturally would not hide it from Bai Ti and told her about the Ji family.

"Ji family?" Bai Ti stretched out her hand and asked the embroiderer to measure her size. She thought for a moment, "Give me the information about that person later."

Housekeeper Jiang nodded, "Okay."

Master Ji stayed in Xiangcheng for two days and hurried back to West City to prepare for work.

By the way, he brought a few clothes for Bai Ti, all newly made by Ji Heng.

Bai Ti made an appointment with him at the teahouse on the ancient street.

Before he went in, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He frowned when he saw the call and went outside to answer it.

The caller was Third Master Ji.

"You haven't arrived yet?" Third Master Ji's tone was not respectful, but condescending, a little bossy, "Didn't I ask you to bring me my coat?"

The Ji family had a meeting, and Third Master Ji's cooperation with Jiang Jing was almost set in stone.

Naturally, his words were different from before.

"I have something to do temporarily." Second Master Ji didn't mention Bai Di. After knowing from Uncle Meng that Bai Di was from Jiang University, and with Dean Jian behind him, Second Master Ji had already realized that Bai Di was not what he imagined.

Not to mention the two plainclothes officers just outside the door.

Master Ji San was very dissatisfied and hung up the phone coldly.

Beside him, Master Ji Er's confidant was worried, "Master Er, I heard that Master San is going to meet a distinguished guest today, and the other party is from Jiang Jing..."

"I know." Master Ji Er continued to walk upstairs.

Arrived at the private room that Bai Xi mentioned.

Master Ji Er saw two plainclothes guards standing outside the door of the private room at a glance. He was stunned for a moment, took the paper bag prepared by Ji Heng, lifted the curtain and went in.

Bai Xi was sitting by the window, brewing tea slowly.

She held the purple clay teapot in her hand, and was nodding slowly three times, filling the teacup to nine-tenths full.

The fragrance of tea filled the entire private room.

Master Ji took a sniff and it seemed to be the tea that Ji Heng brought him.

"This is what your grandpa asked me to bring you." Master Ji handed a bag of clothes to Bai Ti.

"Thank you." Bai Ti put one hand on the table and held the teacup with the other hand, lowering his eyes and tasting it slowly.

The confidant was waiting outside anxiously, knocking on the door, urging Master Ji to go to a meeting.

Master Ji delivered the things, drank the tea politely, stood up to leave, and prepared to go back.

"Wait a minute," Bai Ti put down the teacup, took out his mobile phone, and showed Master Ji a photo: "Is this your family's embroidery?" He

recognized that it was the snow plum embroidery of his grandmother.

Master Ji hesitated for a moment and replied: "It is the award-winning work of my sister-in-law."

Bai Ti poured himself tea again, which was almost as he expected.

After pouring the tea, she put down the teapot, tapped the lid with her fingers, thought for a moment, and looked up, "It was the work of the eldest grandmother, but it was the cooperation that the third son of the Ji family negotiated?"

Second Master Ji was a little stunned. The third son kept this matter very secret. He didn't know much, and didn't even know who the partner was.

On the contrary, Third Master Ji was very popular in the textile factory because of this matter.

He didn't know how Bai Xi found out about this. "Yes, it was my brother who handled this..."

Bai Xi looked up and glanced at him. With her other hand, she took out her cell phone and made a call. She said concisely,

"Come to the teahouse."

Bai Xi put her cell phone on the table, put her arms around her chest, leaned back, and showed her wildness. "I have a lot of opinions about the third master of your Ji family. Let someone else talk to me, or..."

"This cooperation ends here."

It's the last day, and the double monthly ticket is about to end! Don't waste it, dears. Give Sister Xi two tickets~ Good night~
