The wood mage and the native brother

Granny Fang folded her arms and snorted.

"Why don't you hurry up and cook, what are you doing in a daze?!"

But Mrs. Xu hurriedly stood up with a smile,

"I'll come, I'll come, brother Deng is afraid of getting dizzy after crying for a long time, go back to the house and rest, the uncle will call you when the meal is over."

Mrs. Fang frowned and glanced at Mrs. Xu.

This Mrs. Xu took the wrong medicine today?

But Ji Deng didn't care about these things, he responded casually, and led Ji Xiaomei back to the house step by step.As soon as the door was closed, Ji Deng fell on the bed exhausted, with his arms across his face to block the light from the outside world, but everything that just happened was replaying in his mind over and over again.

The sudden appearance of Fino and...

Suddenly there is a cousin...

Gentle and kind cousin...

It was like a dream.

Ji Deng's head was a mess.

But, I really hope it's not a dream.

Before falling asleep in a daze, Ji Deng thought of this.

……

As soon as Ji Hai came home in the evening, Mrs. Xu pulled him aside and whispered.

"So, the Qi family really has a sister, and she even saved a green-eyed junior. Now this green-eyed junior has come all the way to repay her kindness."

After listening, Ji Hai stroked his short beard and murmured.

"That's right, and this cousin named Fei is wearing brocade silk, which is really luxurious."

Xu seemed very envious.

"oh--?"

Ji Hai rolled his eyes calmly, and asked again,

"Is it really rich or just for show?"

Xu smiled and glanced at Ji Hai, and said,

"I went to inquire this afternoon. Some people in the village saw that this man from the Fei family went to the Lizheng family with a lot of good things, such as good streaky flowers, a bag of big and red fruits, and a mention of four. Five oil-paper bags, either filled with candy or snacks, it’s worth at least a hundred pennies, you’re really rich, you’re fake.”

How big is it? !

Ji Hai immediately perked up, and asked again with great interest,

"Come to our house to suggest something?"

Xu bowed his head and smiled,

"I don't know if Brother Deng and his sister are looking for them. Of course, they didn't mention anything when they came to identify people. After they identified someone, they said they would give our family money to pick them up, no matter how much money they have."

When Ji Hai heard this, he became a little nervous.It is silver rather than copper coins that are spoken and closed. This young man surnamed Fei must be quite wealthy.

"Didn't let the person be taken away?"

Xu glanced at him sideways,

"Look at what you said, am I in a daze? Of course I stopped, and I just said that if you think about it, you can come to the house to have a look. I heard that there is a residence in the county. I probably live in an inn. I should come to the door tomorrow. .”

After Ji Hai heard this, a relaxed smile appeared on his tense face, and he nodded to Xu in satisfaction, saying,

"You're still smart."

As he spoke, he grabbed Xu's hand and put it in the palm of his hand,

"Mother must have pissed you off today."

Although the words were doubtful, the tone was very firm, as if she expected Mrs. Fang to make Mrs. Xu look bad.

Mrs. Fang's temperament is very clear as a son. He can't tell what is valuable and what is not. He always treats fish eyes as pearls and does things according to his own preferences. The son couldn't stand it either.The Xu family, who was brought up by a scholar's family, was delicate and weak, so of course she was even more wronged.

Mrs. Xu smiled very sensible and gentle,

"No, Mother treats me very well."

Ji Hai glared at her, but he didn't speak harshly, he hugged Xu Shi into his arms,

"Tough mouth."

After some warmth, Ji Hai asked Xu Shi again,

"Go around the village tomorrow and see if we can find out more about this man surnamed Fei."

Xu nodded in response.

Ji Hai grabbed Xu's hand and said with a smile,

"It would be great if it was a rich relative."

...

Brother Deng's brothers and sisters suddenly came up with a relative, and the Fang family learned from Sister Xi when they came, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion about the good fortune of the second wife.

The Qi family came from a lowly family background, so naturally they looked down on the Ji family who had read a lot of poetry and books.But there is Ji He who loves Qi's family to the bone, whenever Mrs. Fang and Ji Laoxiu want to make things difficult for Qi's family, Ji He will stand up first and stand up to the pressure.Fang's envy for such a couple is incredible.

Later, Jihe and his wife left one after another, brother Deng's brother and sister got up early and worked late at night, Fang's heart got rid of the sadness of right and wrong, and more of it was a kind of twisted joy.

But now, a cousin suddenly appeared from Brother Deng who was lonely and helpless in Ji's house. It was said that this cousin loved and cared for the siblings so much that he would rather give money than take someone away.Even the biological cousins ​​are not so close, let alone the young man is just an outsider after all.

Thinking of this, Fang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

From big to small, the second room is really lucky.

No matter what Ji's family thinks, in the morning of the second day, Mrs. Xu packed up and washed up early and went into the fire room, and the three scholars serving Ji Hai finished their breakfast.Mrs. Fang saw it, and after a little thought, she figured out the trick, and didn't compete with Mrs. Xu. She rested for a rare morning, and went down to the ground with Ji Jiang after eating and drinking.

Since Brother Deng's wedding was approaching, it was inevitable that people in the village would gossip, so Mrs. Fang refused to let Brother Deng go to the field, so Fang naturally had to go along to help.

It took a long time to walk to the county seat, so Ji Hai and the three went out early.Before leaving, Ji Hai whispered to Mrs. Xu,

"Don't forget."

Xu smiled and nodded,

"Don't worry, I remember everything."

Mrs. Fang went back to the house after breakfast as usual, Mrs. Xu went back to the house and changed her clothes and came out. Seeing Ji Deng chopping firewood in the backyard, she hurried up and said distressedly,

"Brother Deng, don't do it, the little brother who is about to get married, what can I do if my hands are rough. Let's wait for your uncle and second brother to come back and do it. Go back to the house and get busy. The sachet and so on are embroidered. No, if you can’t make it in time, tell your auntie, and I’ll help you share some of it.”

Although Ji Deng holding the axe knew that it was a fantasy for Ji Hai and Ji Shuo to come home to work, he did not refuse when he heard the words. He put down the axe as he said, and lowered his head and said,

"After the embroidery is finished, his family has a small population, so just put the uppers on the soles of the two pairs of shoes."

"Other family" refers to Huang Butcher's family.

Xu boasted with a smile,

"Brother Deng is really ingenious."

Ji Deng lowered his head, looking shy.

Xu looked at it, and said casually,

"Then make a pair of shoes for your cousin while you have time. I wonder how happy he will be if he receives it. Just in time for him to come over today to measure the size."

Are you happy?

Although he knew that Xu's intentions were not pure, Ji Deng couldn't help thinking about it.

The way those dark green eyes are smiling...

Ji Deng couldn't help but think of when he was on the mountain before, the moment Fei Nuo turned his head, he smiled happily and warmly under the warm light.

Then...

Make him a pair.

Anyway, it was given to a cousin whom I hadn't seen for many years, so no one would gossip if it spread.

When Xu saw that Ji Deng was silent for a long time, he knew that he was moved, and said with a considerate look,

"Go back to the house and get busy, don't do these things."

Ji Deng nodded, stood up and went back to the house.

Inside the room, Ji Xiaomei was lying on the bed and whispering to the grass rabbit. Seeing Ji Deng coming back to the room, she asked curiously,

"Today's work is done so quickly? Is the green-eyed brother coming over today? Are we going to call him cousin in the future? Why can't we move in with him? There will be no grandma and uncle at that time , I’m sure I’ll be able to eat enough every day.”

Saying that, Ji Xiaomei's face showed a bit of joy.

Ji Deng took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed, hugged the embroidered shed basket to cover the uppers of the last two soles, was busy with his hands, and had to answer a series of questions from Ji Xiaomei,

"Should come here today, but I don't know how long. It can be done after a while, anyway, people are there, and they can't escape."

After asking three questions, but only one was answered, Ji Xiaomei pouted.After a while, he turned his smart eyes and asked,

"But brother, why is the green-eyed brother now our cousin? What about before? Wasn't it before?"

Ji Deng paused for a moment with the hand holding the needle for threading, and was suddenly reminded by Ji Xiaomei of the doubt he had forgotten yesterday.

Yesterday was a moment of excitement, but many things have not been sorted out.If Fei Nuo was their cousin, and they recognized him based on his face, why didn't he say it before, but why did he say it now.

Ji Deng put down the embroidery basket he picked up again, and couldn't help himself to compete with himself, all kinds of speculations flooded his mind for a while.After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and spat at himself.

Thinking about the use of this, Fei Nuo saw that he was from a rich family, so how could he pretend to be his cousin with a farm boy like him.

Ji Deng was quite self-aware, he was so handsome that he could barely boast of being handsome, but he was thrown into the crowd and couldn't be found again.Born to be a brother, but no better than a girl, what can Fei Nuo think of him.

After spitting on himself, Ji Dengfu picked up the shoe soles in the embroidery basket and nailed the linen uppers onto them inch by inch.

Ji Xiaomei asked casually, and didn't really want to get an answer. Seeing Ji Deng frowning again, she didn't know what to think, so she rolled the grass rabbit inside and continued to whisper.

When Ji Deng finally put the two pairs of shoes away, looking back, Ji Xiaomei had already fallen asleep in the bed holding the grass rabbit, smacking her lips from time to time, all she chanted in her dream was "grass rabbit".

Ji Deng couldn't help but helplessly laugh, looked at Ji Xiaomei's precious grass rabbit, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Fei Nuo was really skilled. He tore up the straw rabbit casually, but it turned a little yellow today, and it was still lifelike and vivid when he held it in his hand to play with.I don't know if he did something when he wasn't paying attention to keep the rabbit so well.

Even the cymbidium that the clerk in the incense shop said had a very good fragrance before, Ji Deng asked later to figure out how to live, and it happened that Fei Nuo helped him deal with it.

Maybe Fei Nuo was inherited from a family of incense merchants, which is why he is so good at these things.

Ji Deng couldn't help being envious.Although Mrs. Qi has been serving the most favored concubine of a large incense merchant for many years, and has learned many fragrant prescriptions that are beautiful and moisturizing, but after all, it is not as good as the serious son of the family, with many methods and methods. The deeper fragrance cannot be touched at all.

If Fei Nuo really learned it from somewhere, it would be a great fortune.

only……

Thinking of Fei Nuo's blue eyes and blue hair, Ji Deng couldn't help scratching his chin.

Where do people come from to look so different?

On this point, Fino still didn't say a word to him.

Even if Fei Nuo is not his cousin by blood, Ji Deng still heard it from Mrs. Xu.

What a mystery.

Ji Deng said with emotion.
