Officials who have always been greedy for disaster relief and river defense have not ended well. Even if they can make up for the greedy for money, the officials involved in the case will not escape death. Master Ji wrote a letter back in Qingyuan to Qingyuan to Master Ji Er, but they were struggling to death with a trace of luck. At that time, even if Master Ji San had not lost his family, even if Master Ji Er could make up for the money, he would not be able to save Master Ji.
In this life, Ji Xiaotang cannot guarantee that Master Ji will not be involved in the greed case. The only thing she can do is to let Master Ji stay out of the matter from the beginning.
As long as Master Ji does not follow the imperial envoy south, he will not cause trouble.
Ji Xiaotang actually had no impression of Master Ji, but she had to help Master Ji. The three brothers of the Ji family. If Master Ji had not fallen in his previous life, the people in Qingyuan would always be somewhat scruples and would not attack Master Ji Er and Master Ji San so unscrupulously.
In this life, after her efforts, Qingyuan was not only not plotted against, but was exposed to a defeat, but was more prosperous than in the previous life. However, if something happened to Master Ji, it would inevitably affect Qingyuan.
Given Ji Xiaotang's understanding of Master Ji Er, he would not sit idly by and watch Master Ji get involved in the greed case.
"Dad, uncle is in the Ministry of Works. This time the imperial envoy went south. Will uncle be sent to follow him too?" Ji Xiaotang thought for a moment before looking up and saying to Master Ji Er.
"Your uncle has performed well in the Ministry of Works in recent years. This time, the court is so concerned about disaster relief and river defense. Your uncle is very likely to be selected to go south." Master Ji Er nodded.
It was because of his good work in the Ministry of Works that he was promoted to the Ministry of Works in the past two years. It was because of his ability and integrity that he was taken away by the Lord Ji during the mourning period of Mr. Ji.
That time, the love was built in a certain place south, so he recruited Master Ji, the capable minister.
Since Master Ji has such skills, this time, the tenth day of the emperor will be assigned by the court and follow the imperial envoy south.
"I have often heard my father sigh and say that the government is unclear now. Moreover, this has always been a disaster relief, and many people have greedy for a large amount of gold and silver. This time, 500,000 taels of silver are probably not clean." Ji Xiaotang said slowly again.
"I'm just worried about this." Mr. Ji Er nodded.
"If this is the case, my uncle will inevitably be involved in it and will cause a disaster."
"Your uncle has always been honest, not like the kind of money-assisted officials. Moreover, he has a backer in the court. Even if something happens to the disaster relief money, it should not be implicated." Master Ji Er pondered for a while before saying.
"But, there is something wrong. ()" Ji Xiaotang did not agree with Master Ji Er's words, "Dad, I always feel that someone is targeting our Ji family. Uncle is also a member of the Ji family after all, and it is hard to guarantee that those people will not make trouble for the uncle."
Ji Xiaotang's words immediately woke up Master Ji Er as if they were thunder.
"One word wakes up from the dream!" Master Ji Er stood up and slapped his hands with his high hands. "Thanks to Xiaotang's words, I took it for granted. In any case, be cautious in everything and be careful first."
"Dad, why not just write a letter, advising uncle not to get involved in this job going south this time, no matter what method he thinks." Ji Xiaotang said immediately.
Master Ji Er nodded, and then he looked embarrassed again on his face.
"If you don't do such a job well, it will naturally be a serious crime to behead you. But if you do it well, it will be the best way to advance. Your Ah Bo... may still hope to follow the south, so as to make great contributions and go further in your career."
There is someone behind Master Ji. As long as he can follow the imperial envoy south and make some contributions, it is easy to go further. The three brothers of the Ji family must be the most fame and aspirations, and his situation in the back house is special, so he cannot be careless.
Master Ji Er was worried and persuaded Master Ji in vain, afraid that he would not be able to persuade him.
"So, what about the name of grandfather's dream?" Ji Xiaotang thought for a while and suggested.
"You mean..." Master Ji Er looked at Ji Xiaotang.
"Dad thinks that if my ancestors ask for dreams, will my uncle listen?"
"This is a little more sure." Master Ji Er thought.
"That's not going to be late." Ji Xiaotang urged.
Going south to provide disaster relief is an urgent matter. Master Ji Er received a letter from Master Ji, fearing that the capital would soon send an imperial envoy to the road.
"Okay." Mr. Ji Er knew about this, so he no longer delayed it.
Ji Xiaotang grinds ink, Master Ji San lays paper, Master Ji Er picks up the pen and writes a letter to Master Ji.
In the dry state of Qingyuan, the Ji family's ancestral tomb on Qingxi Mountain had a strange phenomenon. Master Ji Er dreamed of the ancestor of the Ji family. The ancestor of the Ji family left a sentence for Master Ji Er in his dream.
Master Ji Er finished writing the letter and saw that Mo Gan had already read it.
"Xiaotang, you see, can you write this way?"
People in Qingyuan say that the three Jinshis of the Ji family father and son were selected because the Ji family’s ancestral tombs were selected well. Master Ji believed this statement more than others. Every time he wrote a letter, he would ask Master Ji Er about the ancestral tombs and instruct Master Ji Er to maintain the ancestral tombs. It can be said that he would never get tired of it. ()
Speaking of the vision of the ancestral tomb, Master Ji will definitely attach great importance to it.
As for the ancestors of the Ji family, Master Ji did not dare to ignore it. The ancestors of the Ji family carefully studied the Eucharist of the Book of Changes, Master Ji not only knew it, but also highly praised it.
In addition to these, Master Ji Er also advised Master Ji that even if he wanted to go further in his career, there were opportunities in the future, so there was no need to go to this muddy water.
When Master Ji Er nodded when he saw Ji Xiaotang nodding, he realized that there was nothing missing in the letter, so he put the letter in his envelope. He immediately called a close confidant's family to come and asked him to rush it and send the letter to the capital.
"Be sure to hand it over to the master in person. If you get his reply, you can come back." Master Ji Er instructed carefully.
The family took the order and set off to the capital that day.
At the end of May, Master Ji from the capital city arrived.
It turned out that when Master Ji received a letter from Master Ji Er in the capital, the court had already drafted the candidates for the disaster relief this time, and Master Ji's name was listed.
Someone recommended Mr. Ji.
The job of going south was not leisurely, and it could be said that it was very hard. However, Master Ji was planning to go there with great heart. Not only could he show his strengths, but he could also make contributions to make further progress in his career.
At this moment, he received a letter from Master Ji Er. In his reply to Master Ji Er, he said that he was very undecided at the time and went to discuss with his father-in-law. Master Ji's family, including his father-in-law, agreed that Master Ji's trip south this time.
However, the two things that Master Ji Er said in his letter are really what Master Ji cares about the most.
Finally, Master Ji had not slept for several nights and repeatedly thought about it, he decided to listen to Master Ji Er. For this matter, Master Ji not only annoyed his father-in-law, but also complained about the back house.
Master Ji did not follow him to the south to provide disaster relief, so he naturally could not refuse it. Instead, he was on the grounds of being sick. Master Ji also told Master Ji Er that when he wrote this letter to Master Ji Er, the imperial envoys who went south had already left the capital, and there seemed to be a little sad in his words.
After reading the letter, Master Ji Er gave it to Ji Xiaotang.
After reading the letter, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but feel glad in his heart. No matter how sad Mr. Ji was, as long as he didn't follow him, he would not be able to suffer any disaster and everything would be fine.
"Your uncle is afraid that I will blame me for blocking his future in the future." Master Ji Er said slowly.
"No." Ji Xiaotang put the letter back on the table, "Although my uncle is a little indecisive, he still understands the big things. In the future, he will only be grateful to his father."
"I don't ask him for gratitude, I just hope the family will be safe." Master Ji Er said.
Ji Xiaotang nodded.
In the evening, when the family gathered in Mrs. Ji's house to talk, Mr. Ji Er told him about the letter from Mr. Ji. He did not tell Mrs. Ji about disaster relief or the imperial envoy. He only told Mrs. Ji that Mr. Ji's family was safe, and in the letter he greeted Mrs. Ji.
"Oh, I understand." Old Mrs. Ji then changed the subject lightly, "Xiaoyun has been away for more than half a month. I wonder how she lived in Huaiyuan? This child has never written a letter back."
Old Mrs. Ji is really thinking about Ji Xiaoyun.
"Maybe it's because I'm thinking about coming back soon." Mrs. Ji Er's words were mainly to appease Mrs. Ji.
"Old lady, please relax. The old lady thinks, according to the old lady's wishes, Xiaoyun will go to Huaiyuan as soon as she gets married." Master Ji San said.
Old Mrs. Ji had no reaction to Mrs. Ji Er's words, and after hearing Master Ji San's words, I felt a little uncomfortable.
"If it were like that, I wouldn't think much about it." Old Mrs. Ji said angrily.
Master Ji San smiled and stopped talking.
"She is young, and everything is fresh when she goes out for the first time. Maybe she can't think of this for a moment. If she doesn't come, let's write a letter." Old Mrs. Ji paused for a while, then said again, "Just ask her how she is doing and when she will come back. I don't need you either, just Xiaotang will help me write this letter."
As Old Mrs. Ji spoke, she looked at Ji Xiaotang with great compassion.
Ji Xiaotang cannot refuse.
Before Mrs. Ji's letter was delivered, Ji Xiaoyun's letter arrived. When Mrs. Ji saw that Ji Xiaoyun had come, she was immediately happy and asked Ji Xiaotang to take it apart and read it to her.
Ji Xiaoyun's letter was written very long, and the words revealed between the lines were all happiness and joy. In the letter, Ji Xiaoyun told Mrs. Ji and others that she had passed by very well in Huaiyuan. The Qin family was the best family she had ever met, especially Grandma Qin and Qin's mother, who were her two cousin-in-law treating her very well.
Ji Xiaoyun has never seen such a virtuous and kind person. She and Grandma Qin and Grandma Qin hit it off at first sight. Now they get along like their relatives.
According to Ji Xiaoyun's original words, she felt the brotherhood of Grandma Qin and Qin's breasts, and said that even her compatriots with her breasts might not be like this.
When Ji Xiaotang came to this, he couldn't help but pause.
Ji Xiaoyun said this, obviously comparing her with Grandma Qin and Qin **'s breasts, and she felt that Ji Xiaotang, the real sister, was far inferior to her two cousin sisters.
"Just be good, just be good." Old Mrs. Ji didn't seem to hear it, just nodded with a smile.
After Ji Xiaoyun talked about the Qin family, she talked about the food, clothing and expenses of the Qin family, saying that it was very suitable for her wishes, and she said that she finally saw the grandeur of the wealthy family.
Obviously, the Qin family's life is very luxurious.
At the end of the letter, Ji Xiaoyun also mentioned Madam Cheng. She said that Madam Cheng was not accustomed to the local conditions and became sick within a few days after Huaiyuan. She could not take care of the matter and could only stay in bed. Ji Xiaoyun originally planned to send someone to see Madam Cheng back, but Madam Cheng said that she had been instructed by Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er and refused to return.
Ji Xiaoyun's meaning was to ask the Ji family to send someone to take Madam Cheng back.
After listening to Ji Xiaotang's reading the letter, Old Mrs. Ji smiled and her worries about Ji Xiaoyun disappeared.
"...It's better to have a kiss. It's really reassuring for someone who knows the truth." Old Mrs. Ji said with a smile. This is also a contribution to her. After all, it was her decision to decide this marriage for Ji Xiaoyun.
As she said this, Old Mrs. Ji criticized Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er beside her.
"You are too careful, just suspicious of others, and you must not suspicion on Boyang. Now you can see how it is. If you all follow you, Xiaoyun would not be so happy? I'm afraid that now, the young couple will be disheartened!"
Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er both smiled, only listening to Mrs. Ji's words, but not responding.
"Madam Cheng is sick and can't help much. Why not just follow what Xiaoyun said in her letter and beat someone to take her back. It's better to raise her at home." Old Mrs. Ji remembered what Ji Xiaoyun said in her letter and said again.
After Ji Xiaoyun got married, she would talk to Mrs. Ji a lot about Madam Cheng whenever she came back, and she said Madam Cheng was too lenient and too strict. Because of Madam Cheng, she couldn't do anything and was very uncomfortable.
Old Mrs. Ji said this at this time mainly for Ji Xiaoyun, and she should want to make Ji Xiaoyun more comfortable in her arms.
"Since I'm sick, it seems that it's not easy, so I'm naturally not moving. Even if the nanny is there, even if she can't help my sister, by the way, my sister doesn't need the nanny to help me now. Wherever the nanny is, it won't be in the way of my sister." Ji Xiaotang said.
"Is this the reason? Let Madam Cheng recover from her illness and come back." Master Ji Er said.
Old Mrs. Ji thought to Ji Xiaoyun that Madam Cheng didn't care about anything now and no longer insisted.
When she returned to Mrs. Ji Er's house, there were already people who were sending the letter from Huaiyuan to present the letter from Madam Cheng. Unlike Ji Xiaoyun's paper happiness and joy, Madam Cheng's letter was full of worry.
