Chapter 31 Still not calling me grandpa?
Laba Festival arrives as soon as the first snow melts.
Qi enthusiastically took Feng Qingsui to Baiyun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.
"...Baiyun Temple starts preparing this porridge a month before Laba. It uses thirty-four ingredients and simmers over low heat for three hours. Tens of thousands of servings are made at once. I haven't had it in years. Let's try it later."
Feng Qingsui said hello.
When they arrived at the front of the mountain, they saw that the ground was full of people and the mountain path was blocked, so Qi took her to take a small path.
The small path is southwest of the main road, separated by a hill. Only a few people are walking on it. They go up the mountain along this path, drink Laba porridge, and receive ten rice cakes.
The same path we took on the return trip.
When they reached the mountainside, Wuhua suddenly came forward and whispered in her ear, "There's an ambush ahead."
Feng Qingsui's expression was stern: "How many people?"
"Five."
After reporting, Wuhua walked to the front.
Feng Qingsui said to Qi: "Mother, let's walk slowly."
Qi was puzzled and was about to ask a question when several men suddenly emerged from the bushes in front of them and rushed towards them. Her face suddenly changed drastically.
But Wuhua quickly knocked them all to the ground and tied their hands and feet behind their backs.
The men cursed and were kicked a few times by Wuhua, and they all became obedient.
Feng Qingsui was about to ask something when he caught a glimpse of a figure hurriedly leaving in the opposite valley, so he winked at Wuhua.
Wuhua flew across the valley and captured the man.
He was a young man in his twenties, with a slicked-back hair and powdered face.
After being dragged to Feng Qingsui's side, he shouted fiercely: "What are you doing! Do you know which mansion I am from?"
Feng Qingsui sneered: "I don't know which mansion you are from, I only know that you are in the same group with this group of people."
The man argued, "Nonsense! I advise you to let me go immediately, otherwise... you will be in trouble! Our mansion is not something that anyone can afford to offend!"
"Yeah?"
Feng Qingsui said lightly.
"If I dare to mess with the Duke's Mansion, what other mansion can I not mess with?"
The man looked stunned.
Feng Qingsui ordered Wuhua to drive the man and the other men down the mountain and send them to the government office in the capital. Wuhua returned to report, "The man was tortured and confessed that he was short of money and had found a few people to extort money during the Laba Festival."
"What is his identity?"
"A playboy in the capital, idle and unemployed, living on his sister's support."
Feng Qingsui immediately guessed the man's identity.
"Jin's younger brother?"
Wuhua nodded.
Since she is Jin, she definitely won't do it for money. In all likelihood, she wants to ruin her reputation again.
I don’t know what good it will do to the Jin family if her reputation is ruined.
Could it be that Jin still dreams of becoming Ji Changqing's widow?
Flies can't kill people, but buzzing around all day is annoying. Feng Qingsui handled them gently last time, but this time he doesn't plan to let Jin go.
When she went to Qi's house to eat glutinous rice cakes and met Ji Changqing, she told Ji Changqing about this.
Ji Changqing stared at her eating in a trance.
This person did not use chopsticks, but held the glutinous rice cake with both hands. He looked very cute when taking small bites of the glutinous rice cake, just like a rabbit.
I seem to have seen it somewhere...
He frowned in thought.
An embroidery painting came to his mind.
I remembered that in the exhibition hall of the orphanage, there was an embroidered painting of a little girl eating glutinous rice cakes.
“It turns out that the embroidery was about her.”
A smile played on his lips.
This way of eating has not changed since I was a child.
Feng Qingsui saw that he was not angry but laughing instead, and he was confused about what this man meant.
"What do you think is the best way to deal with it, Master?"
She asked.
If she hadn't been worried about implicating Ji Changqing, she would have reported the matter between Jin and Ji Peiyuan to Princess Shouyang.
Ji Changqing came back to his senses and said seriously, "Don't worry about this. I'll handle it."
Feng Qingsui felt relieved and said with a smile, "Then I will wait and see."
As he said this, he picked up another glutinous rice cake.
Just as he was about to bring it to his mouth, he suddenly realized that he should pick it up with chopsticks. But he secretly glanced at Qi and Ji Changqing, and seeing that they didn't react, he continued to eat it according to his childhood habit.
It smells so good.
After eating the glutinous rice cake, the servant passed on the message that Master Ji San had arrived and wanted to meet Ji Changqing.
Ji Changqing smiled slightly and replied, "No, tell him that I will go to the old man's birthday party the day after tomorrow."
The servant went to reply.
Feng Qingsui knew that he and Old Master Ji did not get along, and they usually did not say hello to each other when they met. Now he took the initiative to express his intention to attend the birthday party, which must be strange.
Could it be that it’s about the Jin family?
She was about to speak when Ji Changqing stopped her, "Mother, I'll go to the birthday banquet. You and your sister-in-law can stay at home so you don't have to worry about other people's faces."
Qi nodded: "Okay."
Feng Qingsui felt secretly regretful.
However, after hearing the third son's reply, Mr. Ji's eyebrows relaxed slightly and he said, "It seems that he has figured it out. To survive in the court, personal ability alone is not enough. He knows how to win over people's hearts."
Master Ji San flattered, "Dad is truly as good as a god!"
Old Master Ji rolled his eyes at him. If it weren't for the fact that his second, third, and fourth sons were all useless, and their descendants were all confused, would he have bowed to that evil creature Ji Changqing?
"If anything goes wrong at the banquet the day after tomorrow, you'll have to go back to Jiangzhou and guard our ancestral tomb."
Master Ji San bowed and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll be keeping a close eye on this for the next few days and I'm sure there won't be the slightest mistake!"
Mr. Ji did not comment.
The birthday came in a blink of an eye. The Ji Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the place was filled with guests, making it very lively.
All the guests had arrived, but there was no sign of Ji Changqing. Old Master Ji's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he suspected that Ji Changqing was playing a trick on him.
When Master Ji San was so anxious that he wanted to go to the house to urge him, Ji Changqing arrived late.
"My dear nephew, are you finally done?"
Master Ji San came forward with a smile on his face.
Seeing that there was a woman following Ji Changqing, he thought that he had brought his widowed sister-in-law with him. Just as he was about to greet her, he saw that the woman was holding a child in her hand.
That child looks like he was cut from the same mold as the second child, Ji Peiyuan.
His expression changed immediately.
What does it mean that Ji Changqing brought his second son's mistress and children to the banquet?
"Nephew, please talk nicely."
While reaching out to stop Ji Changqing, he winked at his followers, asking them to take Jin and the child away.
However, it did not happen.
Ji Changqing's servant stopped the entourage, and Ji Changqing himself grabbed his shoulders and led him to the banquet hall, ignoring his calls.
When he walked into the banquet hall and saw the room full of guests, he felt hopeless.
When Mr. Ji saw Ji Changqing coming, his anger turned into joy, but when he saw Jin, his expression instantly became gloomy.
Before he could react, Ji Changqing said with a smile, "To congratulate Grandfather on his sixtieth birthday, I have specially prepared a great gift."
As he spoke, he pulled An Ge'er in front of him and said with a smile, "Why don't you call me grandpa?"
Anger called out in panic, "Grandfather."
All the guests were dumbfounded when they saw An Ge'er's face, which was exactly the same as that of the Ji family members.
Isn't Ji Changqing unmarried? !
How come such a big child suddenly appeared!
