I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Chapter 262: Always a Lowly Aunt

Ji Deyan rushed over, scratching the wooden door with his front paws and barking non-stop.

Ji Xiaobei took two quick steps, picked up Ji Deyan, touched her head, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Ji Deyan's round eyes revealed a fierce light, his sharp teeth were bared, and his throat was whimpering.

"Come on, go home!"

Ji Xiaobei held Ji Deyan and walked quickly home.

I didn't hear any dog ​​barking until I reached the door of my house.

When Mrs. Lin heard Ji Deyan's roar, she trotted out of the yard and ran into Ji Xiaobei head-on.

"Bei, what's going on?"

"It's okay. There was a dog barking in the Magnolia Courtyard in North Lane. Ji Deyan was scared!"

Ji Xiaobei said lightly.

Mrs. Lin covered her pounding heart and said, "Luckily, I didn't get into trouble!"

After saying that, she slammed the wooden door shut.

Ji Xiaobei: When renting a house in the future, do you need to check the surrounding neighbors?

The lady is so annoying and has a habit of harming small animals. How abominable!

I feel sorry for the little curly-haired boy!

.

At dinner time, Mrs. Gui went to the old lady's courtyard in person, boiled medicine for her, served the old lady to drink it, and then sat in front of the bed, watching the old lady fall asleep peacefully.

Madam Gui asked Madam Zhang to listen out for any noise at night and take good care of the old lady.

Nanny Zhang nodded and agreed, saying, "The court doctor came to check my pulse and said that no new herbs were added, so I should be fine.

You went to get the medicine, and then went home to make it. You've been busy all day. Go and take a rest. I, the old servant, will just wait on the old lady here!"

Mrs. Gui yawned and stood up.

"Mrs. Gui, please take care!"

Nanny Zhang said.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Mrs. Gui's face, and she swallowed half a yawn.

She turned around and said coldly: "Remove the word 'Gui' from now on. I am the wife of the Fu family now!"

"Madam, I was wrong!" said Nanny Zhang in a low voice.

Mrs. Gui was still dissatisfied and looked cold, but she did not dare to lose her temper in front of the old lady.

Just as he was about to lift his legs, the old lady lying on the bed groaned and turned over.

Mrs. Gui was so frightened that her legs went limp.

Lan Dian, who was standing aside, helped her up and said, "Madam, you are tired. Go back and have a rest!"

Mrs. Gui shook her sleeves and went out with Landian.

Mrs. Gui's name was Guixiang. When she first came, people called her Aunt Gui.

Fu Yannian called her Xiang'er.

After Fu Yannian's wife died, she was promoted to a lady. The old lady called her Madam Gui, and everyone called her Madam Gui.

She and Fu Yannian cried and had a fight over this matter.

But Fu Yannian said, no matter whether it is Madam Gui or Madam Fu, you are now the mistress of the Fu family.

After the man said this, Guixiang felt a little better.

But she knew that in the old lady's heart, she would always be the lowly Concubine Gui.

She was afraid of the old lady's sharp and cold eyes. Every time they were directed at her, she felt like she was seen through.

Therefore, in the past few years, she has been serving the old lady with her head down and has not dared to make any mistakes.

However, the old lady's health is getting worse day by day.

Her courage gradually grew.

When the two of them reached the door, Lan Dian asked, "Madam, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy! Maybe I caught some cold when I went out. Let them make some ginger soup when I get home!"

Mrs. Gui rubbed her aching temples and spoke weakly to Landian.

The two men walked to the gate of Magnolia Courtyard. The coachman sat on the doorstep, fiddling with the whip in his hand.

Seeing his master coming back, he stood up quickly.

"Pay more attention to the activities in that yard tonight. If anything happens, have someone report it!"

Mrs. Gui said with a slight frown.

Ertou lowered his head and hummed.

After the master and servant left, his eyes inadvertently swept over Mrs. Gui's slender waist.

A restless night!

The next morning, after Ji Xiaobei got up, he went to the backyard to exercise.

During the days when Shitou and the others were there, the old lady came to join in the fun every day. She couldn't stop smiling at the sight of these lively young people.

Ji Xiaobei opened the door early, just in case the old lady came.

After she finished the activity, she didn't see the old lady come over.

"The old naughty boy didn't come today!" Mrs. Huang joked while cooking.

"Shitou and the others left, maybe they feel it's boring now!"

Mrs. Lin was busy picking beans and spoke without even raising her head.

Ji Xiaobei washed himself, drank some eight-treasure porridge, and prepared to go out with Haixia.

She made an appointment with Ruo Xiaolian a few days ago and went to his silver shop to deliver goods to him today.

I might as well take Haixia with me to ask if there is any news from the academy.

As soon as Ma Debiao went out, he met Ah Huang who was jogging.

"Uncle Huang, what's going on?"

Ji Xiaobei asked with concern.

"It's okay. The old lady isn't feeling well. I'll go get Madam Gui..."

After saying that, he quickly went to the North Lane.

Haixia drove his donkey cart out of the west alley.

"Sister, that old lady looks pretty strong!"

Strait said casually.

"As an old man, he is still a little weak!"

Ji Xiaobei also said casually that after all, it is not good to ask too much about other people's affairs.

The two of them went to Cuijinlou while chatting.

Haixia looked up and saw a few large gold-plated characters: Cuijinlou Anzhou Branch, shining brightly in the sun.

I sighed in my heart: Oh my God, the Cuiyinlou in Wei County is already magnificent enough, but I didn't expect the Anzhou branch of Cuijinlou to be so magnificent.

He had a hard time imagining what the Cuijinlou main store in the capital looked like.

Ruo Xiaolian, along with Manager Wang and Manager Li, were already waiting at the door.

Ji Xiaobei introduced Haixia to Ruo Xiaolian. He looked Haixia up and down, smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Haixia, come in, come in!"

Ruo Xiaolian walked into the house with his arm around Haixia.

Ji Xiaobei: So outgoing!

Haixia twisted his body somewhat unnaturally.

Ruo Xiaolian smiled at him strangely and said, "Hai Xia, relax a little, my sister doesn't like people who are shy!"

Strait smiled sheepishly.

Ji Xiaobei didn't notice Ruo Xiaolian's abnormality at all, and had already gone to the counter to look at jewelry.

She wanted to see if there were any new styles in Cuijinlou.

Shopkeepers Wang and Li walked on both sides of Ji Xiaobei, vying to introduce her to the best-selling styles.

"The two shopkeepers of Cuijinlou in Anzhou have managed the business in an orderly manner. It's really great!"

Ji Xiaobei praised with a smile.

"It's because the old and young bosses trust us. Miss Ji, you are knowledgeable and you are welcome to give us some advice! The things you brought last time sold very well. We at Cuijinlou are looking forward to your coming."

Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile that when he came in, he didn't see Ji Xiaobei bringing in anything, and he was a little anxious.

After all, the glass candlestick she bought for 800 taels of silver was bought by a young man in the capital for 1200 taels the next day.

In a short while, I earned 400 taels, it was a huge profit.
