"Master Ji, my Awu hasn't been back for a long time. Is it because the government office is too busy and I don't have time?" The fat woman asked with her hands on her hips and a look of disgust on her face. She didn't even notice that there were two chickens next to her feet pecking at the sides of her shoes.
.
Ji Xuan looked at the ground and didn't know how to respond.
The yamen has concluded cases in the past few days. Although it is still busy, it is not without leave. From time to time, I can take a day and a half off.
However, he didn't know why Fang Wu didn't go back.
Moreover, this is not such a question, right? Her girl is still working as an errand in the Yamen, and when she opens her mouth, she complains about the Yamen, and some people think she is here to cause trouble.
"The past few days have been fine, and I can relax for a day and a half. She may be in a hurry to sort out the files. Is there something wrong with you two?"
After a long time, Ji Xuan moved her foot that was leaning on the door frame and touched the chicken on the ground slightly to prevent the woman from accidentally hurting it.
He was still wearing a light blue robe, leaning on the door frame, squinting his eyes as if the object of the woman's anger was not him.
The short man next to her was about to say something, but the woman stretched out her hand to grab it and spoke first: "She had some arguments with her sister at home before she came to the Yamen. We were afraid that she would get upset and not say anything.
People say that something is wrong with me because I suppressed it, so I came over in a hurry to ask."
"I don't see anything wrong. I've been very happy recently. I solved the case and played with a few children. Don't worry."
Ji Xuan nodded hesitantly, thought for a while and said.
As he spoke, he took a serious look at the woman. She looked menacing, like a housekeeper, and the blood vessels on the arm that was holding the man were swollen.
It always made him feel that if he were Fang Wu, this woman would drag him back in the next second.
"Playing. There is no work in the yamen. She doesn't go back. Instead, she has naughty thoughts. Mr. Ji, you can't let her go like this. We went to the yamen to take her back and pack her up for you before sending her back."
As the woman said this, she was about to leave, her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and her sleeves could get on Ji Xuan's face if she was not careful.
Ji Xuan silently moved her feet into the room, shortened her body a little, raised her hand to block her, and said: "She is very good, and she is not as serious as you said."
Ji Xuan's words were subtle and not coercive, but Fang Wu's affirmation was not in a complimentary tone.
The woman flicked her sleeves, causing Ji Xuan to take two steps back. Before she could stand still, she heard this sentence: "What's the point of playing with a few children? Isn't it time for her to play at this age?"
It’s time to go back to discuss marriage and have children.”
"Mrs. Fang. She is now a member of the yamen. Everything is settled by the yamen, so you don't have to worry about it."
Ji Xuan finally stood firm, lowered her body and picked up the chicken that was cooing on the ground, and was about to close the door.
Indeed, as Ji Xuan said, Fang Wu was not busy organizing case files, but he was not just playing around either.
But the two children who were implicated had no place to go all day long, wandering around Fang Wu, so Fang Wu had no choice but to put down the files and find some fun for them.
But when something like that happened for a while, a few gadgets could change the mood, so Fang Wu had to sort out the files and accompany him at the same time.
I was also afraid that something would happen to the two children. After all, they were only six or seven years old, so they couldn't learn to be independent immediately.
These two children had nowhere to take care of them, and there were no grandparents at home.
Unlike Zhang Xuan, even though he grew up eating hundreds of meals when he was young, he still had a grandfather who was not very good at looking after him.
"Master Ji, is this how you become a master? You don't care about your apprentice's misbehavior? The adults in our family sent her to the Yamen for her to learn. There's a lot of money and it's expensive. Is this how you can just take it with you?
Is it done?”
The woman stepped on the door frame, and the squeaking sound gave Ji Xuan a headache.
Ji Xuan was trembling a little, but she finally managed to say something like this: "We didn't ignore him, he... this needs to be balanced between work and rest."
He couldn't tell whether he had a headache from the squeaking door, or whether his ears hurt from the woman's yelling.
"Come on, let's go back. The government offices are professional and they know when to do things. The children certainly don't understand everything." Fang Quan lowered his head and gave the woman a hand.
Fang Wu didn't use much strength, he just touched the woman once, and his words were as soft as the sound of a mosquito.
If the door hadn't stopped banging back and forth in the wind, it would have been mixed with the cries of four or five chickens, and I wouldn't have been able to hear what was being said.
The woman threw Fang Quan away, dragged Ji Xuan out, and said arrogantly: "What do you know? A child needs to be tutored. The same goes for the yamen. How can you find a broken official who is not many years older?"
Pin, just teach our children and see what they have become. You don’t even go back home, you just play around.”
Ji Xuan was dragged away several times, and she threw the chicken in her arms out before she could stand still.
Ji Xuan wasn't standing there originally. He was leaning on the door frame. He didn't have much strength. However, when he was pulled, he was busy looking after himself, and the chicken was thrown out, leaving chicken feathers all over the sky and the ground.
The woman was obviously in a bad mood. She was twirling her hands in the air and was hit by the chicken several times. However, she did not stop and went back to hit the chicken with curses in her mouth.
There was one person and one chicken in the whole alley, and everyone's head was about to explode.
"What are you doing? Don't touch my chicken!" Ji Xuan's voice became louder. She hugged the chicken and put it firmly into the yard. She closed the door a little and the three of them stood outside talking.
"Mrs. Fang, Fang Wu is very good in the yamen. He is diligent, loves to learn, and is obedient. He is also willing to endure hardships when investigating cases. It is not as unbearable as you think. She will go back after the case is settled in two days. After all, there are still
The case files haven't been sorted out yet." Ji Xuan coughed, moved her hands a few times to stop so many chicken feathers flying in front of her face, and then said.
"Are there any files?" The woman frowned and said, "This is our child when we are investigating the case, and she is still our child when we are sorting out the files. You are going to tire our child out. No, I have to take her back.
Make up for it.”
The woman didn't hear the displeasure in Ji Xuan's mouth at all, and she just wanted Ji Xuan to agree to her taking Fang Wu back.
But Ji Xuan didn't mean it this way. He really didn't want this woman to be so strong and resent him every word.
He could be soft or hard, good or bad, and every word he said was met with a rebuttal from the woman.
He said that Fang Wu was in a good mood and was in the mood to play, and she said that Fang Wu was playing with Shang Zhi.
He said that Fang Wu was hardworking and diligent, and the woman said that he would exhaust Fang Wu to death.
"No, no, there are yamen servants in the yamen, so it's impossible to just follow her..." Ji Xuan became a little anxious.
The woman retorted before Ji Xuan finished speaking: "Why not? If it wasn't you, why wouldn't she go back?"
