Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

He was lying on his back in a rocking chair, wearing a light red Hu suit, with a thick wet towel covering his face. His wrists hung limply on the armrests on both sides, and his chest heaved violently.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, a sobbing voice came from under the towel, "Speak."

Ji's mother walked over quickly and wanted to reach out her hand, but as soon as her hand touched the person, she was pushed away reflexively. She took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground, looking at her daughter in disbelief.

Nanny Xia helped the man steady himself, took two steps back, and knelt down with his face on the ground.

"Shushu...what's wrong with you..."

"Mother, why!! Why!!" Wangshu pulled the towel away, his eyes red with tears: "Why! Why!"

You're going to do this to me! Ah!

Taotao explained it very clearly. When Bingren came to visit, they fell in love and went out from time to time. The household affairs fell on Ji Shou and Chunliu, and Ji's father and mother were happy to see it happen.

Ji Wangyue, his second aunt, and even his father all knew that there were gradually more vendors selling pickled vegetables on the street, and Taotao appeared among them.

None of these people said a word to Ji Shou, who was busy preparing large quantities of goods! While Wangshu was making purchases and keeping accounts, Ji Shou was busy pickling vegetables, preparing an entire room full of them!

"Shushu, when your father saw Taotao on the street, it was too late. Ji Shou had already started pickling vegetables. You also said that the recipe was Taotao's. She has a fiancé now, so it's understandable that she is leaning towards him. Besides, the nanny is here, and she can help you earn money..."

When Mother Ji heard what Father Ji said for the first time, she immediately called Taotao and Nanny home. Taotao said that the recipe was for her, and even without their knowledge, the two young people...

Nanny Xia remained kneeling motionless, face bowed to the ground. "Young lady, it's my fault for not raising my daughter well... Taotao is such an unfilial daughter. Madam was so kind and arranged a marriage for her, but she was blinded by greed and, with a few sweet words, she let that man take away her innocence so early..."

Nanny Xia gritted her teeth, grieving her for not fighting back! "It's too late to undo what's been done... That child has completely captured her heart, and Nanny's repeated attempts to dissuade her have been futile... I'm ashamed to face the young lady, and can only consider her birth a waste! I'll do more business in the future to make up for the mistakes of this unfilial daughter..."

The wind from the north kept blowing, and the weather suddenly became cold.

Nanny Xia knelt upright in front of the main room door, startling Ji's father who entered with his hands waving and Qin Xiuyuan who took a step back.

"This this…"

Holding the somewhat uneasy Ji Lao Er, Ji's mother, with red eyes, called Ji's father and Qin Xiuyuan to the side room and told them the whole story in a strangled voice, "Husband, Wangshu said that we will arrange for Nanny Xia."

Nanny Xia, Taotao, is a servant of the Ji family, she doesn't want her.

The uneasy father Ji met his daughter in the study who was sorting out the account books. There were several books from the Ji family, but there were more that he had never seen before. They should be the account books from the Qin family over the past year.

The daughter carefully wrote the word "bad debt" in red ink on several open account books, blew on them with her mouth, and put the books into a wooden box beside her, her eyes red with no sadness or joy.

Taotao, Ji Wangyue, Ji Bo Niang, Aunt Xia, my dear mother, my dear father...

My father said, "Shushu, Taotao has earned a lot of money for you. She is certainly wrong, but Nanny is loyal to you and has always earned money for you..."

"Dad, didn't you know she was selling pickles before you moved in? Did you move in early just to see this show?"

Father Ji's lips moved: "...You can't make enough money. Don't keep giving people a bad impression of you because of these interests... Shushu, you are too strong-willed... You must make everyone listen to you and act according to your wishes and dislikes..."

Ha ha!

He paused and continued, "Shushu, you shouldn't dwell on the grudges of the past. No daughter in this world would get angry because her father helped her grandmother... and no one would teach their own father a lesson..."

Ji Wenshu finished speaking in one breath and waited for his daughter to give him a long speech.

"Thank you, Teacher Ji, for teaching me this lesson." Wangshu calmly closed the box and called Ji Shou in.

"Call two carriages and take the highly respected Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji's family home, as well as any other people and things that don't belong here. If you can't do it well, you can leave. Ask General Qin to come to the bedroom."

She turned and went to the bedroom. The hem of her Hufu skirt dragged across the ground, and she didn't know when it was covered with mud.

Qin Xiuyuan, who had been comforting his mother-in-law, quickly walked into the bedroom and greeted her with a question, "Do you know?"

She walked hurriedly without stopping, and reached the inner room in two or three steps. The person was washing her face slowly, turned around and waited for his answer, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

Qin Xiuyuan's heart suddenly tightened.

"I don't know." He went to the martial arts gym to practice at dawn, and rode home on horseback after work. On his days off, he either went to see his mother or took her to race horses. He had no time to look at the pickled vegetable stall.

Unspeakably disappointed, Wangshu opened the wardrobe, picked out some clothes, and changed into pajamas in front of him. "I want to go to bed first. The training reward in two days, maybe..."

"Shushu!" Qin Xiuyuan carried her to bed through her shawl, "Eat something before you go to bed."

Then he went to the kitchen himself and called Madam Li and the two sisters over, "Madam Li, from now on, you will take care of them, Ji Shou, and Qin Hu, and everything will continue as usual."

The three of them finally felt relieved after their initial anxiety. In just one afternoon, the two families had been turned upside down. The hardworking and meritorious Nanny Xia had actually been driven away!

Qin Xiuyuan personally drove his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family back home, and they were speechless.

Seeing her crying like that, Qin Xiuyuan didn't dare to try to persuade her. If he didn't try to persuade her, no one in the family would dare to disobey the bride.

The bride cried for half the night, and he stayed with her until she almost fainted from crying and fell asleep from exhaustion.

The next day, Ji Shou and the monkey from the martial arts hall transported all the pickled vegetable jars in the Ji family's room to the military camp. Qin Xiuyuan personally led a special training camp of 100 elite soldiers, and each person was given a jar of pickled vegetables as a gift from the general's wife.

After the remaining hundred or so jars had completed their full pickling time, Qin Xiuyuan ordered a pickled vegetable noodle soup to be made, which was enough to fill him up and reward his 10,000-strong army as they made final preparations for the upcoming year-end drill.

It was about to snow in the evening. Qin Xiuyuan rode his horse into the city gate, took a detour to Ji's house, and without staying for long, hurried out of Jiangjun Street and headed towards the alley of his home, waving his whip.

The table was filled with neatly arranged slices of fresh mutton, beef, pork kidney, pork lung, pig brain, tofu skin, cabbage cores, bean sprouts, Persian vegetables, fresh chicken, pig blood cubes, cleanly washed and cut into small pieces of intestines, soaked dried mushrooms, cut raw noodles, small wontons, and a dish of garlic and soy sauce.

Chun Yang, who was arranging the iron stove as instructed, said to the young woman with a slender skirt beside him, "Madam, the general is back."
