Chapter 3 Back Study(1/2)

Master Ji sat down next to the desk, and Master Ji Er spoke, and said everything that Qingyuan had born and was not easy to say to Master Ji in the letter from beginning to end, and picked up all the important things.∮,

After Master Ji Er finished speaking, Master Ji's face had changed a few times. Not only did he sweat on his face, he couldn't sit still on the chair, and he stood up and walked around.

Master Ji Er didn't think it was abnormal when Master Ji was so incompetent. On the contrary, he still felt deeply the same. He knew about such a fatal thing at the beginning and was also in a difficult position, let alone Master Ji. Master Ji Er always knew that Master Ji wanted to achieve something in his career.

If this matter is not handled well, let alone the career of the government, even if it is wealth, life and life will be difficult to protect.

"Second brother, Prince Jing'an wrote a letter. Isn't this descendant of the Qi family of the Song Dynasty confirmed that he was adopted by Xie Ziqian's thief?"

"Brother said it well." Master Ji Er nodded, "But this matter still needs to be recognized by Master Long Sui and all the civil and military officials of the court. Brother, you can understand it without me saying it. Xie Huaijin is a descendant of the Qi family, and may be treated well by the court. But if the Ji family is recognized as a descendant of the Qi family, the Ji family will probably be destroyed in the future!"

Master Ji really understands this truth, which is why he is so anxious and afraid.

"Second brother, is there any change in this matter? Why did the second brother never mention it in the letter... Yes, it's me that's a clumsy. Why is this kind of thing mentioned in the letter? It's just that you and I talk today..."

Speaking of this, Master Ji couldn't help but look at Ji Xiaotang.

Mr. Ji Er did not allow Ji Xiaomu, who was the eldest grandson, to participate in such a thing, but he believed Ji Xiaotang so much. Not to mention anything else, Ji Xiaotang was a girl after all, and would be someone else's family in the future.

"Uncle, this is exactly what my father wants to discuss with him." Ji Xiaotang spoke for the first time in front of Master Ji, "Huaijin is the descendant of Qi's family, and the descendants of Qi's family should be treated well. Uncle also needs to do his best in the court."

This is not for Xie Huaijin, but for the Ji family itself.

This is what Ji Xiaotang told Master Ji. Of course, she also has her own plans. That is to strive for a more stable and superior life for Xie Huaijin.

"The rise and fall of the destruction and death, and all dynasties have examples of treating the descendants of the previous dynasties well, and they are all praised as a sign of the emperor's kindness." Master Ji Er said.

Master Ji doesn't need to think about this matter.

"I should do my best." Master Ji nodded. Then he smiled bitterly, "But, I am just a fourth-rank minister now, I am afraid that I am weak and I can not do much."

"Brother can always give a push. Brother Yang can also think of some solutions." Master Ji Er said.

"It seems that I can only ask the teacher for help." Master Ji said.

"Brother asks for help from Master Ge. What can you say and what is hard to say? Brother should have a problem in his heart. I don't believe Master Ge. I still say the same thing. The fewer people know about this, the better. Can Brother understand what I said?"

Master Ji understood the reason why Master Ji Er did not let him call Ji Xiaomu here. After pondering for a moment, Master Ji nodded.¢£,

"I still know the importance of your and my fortune and life."

"I would like to ask my uncle to make an oath." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Oh..." Master Ji frowned almost invisibly, and his eyes fell from Ji Xiaotang to Master Ji Er.

"Brother, when it comes to life, my life, I am much more expensive than me. Please don't blame me." Master Ji Er said.

After two or three times, Master Ji had fully understood Ji Xiaotang's position in Master Ji'er's first room. He didn't agree with it and secretly disliked it, but Master Ji insisted. And what he said was indeed justified.

Master Ji nodded and swore in front of Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang.

Knowing that the most difficult thing about this matter has been handled by Master Ji Er. What he had to do next was to add fuel to the court, which was obviously much easier. Master Ji thought about this clearly. Although he was still worried, he slowly calmed down and sat down again.

"Second brother, it is rumored in the court that you are Prince An's confidant. What arrangements does the prince have for the second brother when he comes to Beijing this time?" This is the issue that Master Ji intends to talk to Master Ji.

"The rumors in the court are not credible. The prince is willing to take care of him because he suspects the Ji family. Now that you and my brothers are all in the capital, wouldn't they be more controlled!" said Master Ji Er.

“Um…”

"In addition, our Ji family has indeed made some contributions to donating money and grain. The prince knew that I returned to my hometown because of the rules and regulations. Now that the period has expired, I also want me to serve the court."

After hearing what Mr. Ji Er said, Mr. Ji moved slightly on the chair.

"In this case, I'm about to tell my second brother that my second brother is full of knowledge and is still better than my brother. Old man is so wronged in the countryside."

"Brother has been awarded more. If you talk about knowledge and economics, I will never dare to compare myself with my elder brother. Moreover, I have no expectations for my career. This time I go to Beijing, I am really forced to do so."

"Since you are here, don't say anything you have to. Second brother, since the prince is interested, will you stay in Beijing as an official this time?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Master Ji Er nodded.

"Um..." Master Ji pondered, and he thought of this, but before he heard Master Ji Er say that, he still had some hope. Now Master Ji Er said this, that is, he must stay in the capital and be an official.

Mr. Ji stays in Beijing, and Mrs. Ji will definitely stay with her.

"What kind of yamen do the second brother likes? Tell me, the elder brother, and I will always give you more help." Master Ji thought about it and asked Master Ji.

"No matter where it is." Master Ji Er said. He really had no idea about this matter.

"If so, my uncle can think of a solution in the Hanlin Academy." Ji Xiaotang said, "If the Hanlin Academy fails, it will be the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College. There are no vacancy in the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Revenue will never go."

"Xiaotang!" Master Ji Er stopped Ji Xiaotang, and he didn't like Ji Xiaotang about these things. ¢£,

Master Ji smiled.

"Xiaotang is very clear." Ji Xiaotang is so clear about the current situation of each yamen. It must be the words of Master Ji Er. In the eyes of Master Ji, Master Ji Er was embarrassed to tell him where he wanted to go, and deliberately said it through Ji Xiaotang's mouth.

"I will try my best to think of my own. Second brother will only listen to my good news." Hanlin Academy and Imperial College are both precious places, and they rarely involve court battles. Even the Ministry of Rites is a stable and leisurely place. Under the current situation, it is the most stable for Mr. Ji to go to these places.

As for the Ministry of Personnel, it is not something that can be accessed in general. The Ministry of Revenue is now the most thankless place.

Another one is the Ministry of Works where he is located, Ji Xiaotang did not mention it. Because the court could not allow their brothers to be officials in the Ministry of Works at the same time.

Master Ji nodded secretly, his brother has always been clear about it.

After talking about Master Ji Er’s plan after he arrived in the capital, Master Ji asked a lot about Qingyuan, mainly mentioning Jiang Qingshan.

"How could we think that the guy was a rebel leader of the Pojun! If it weren't for the guy Qi Sha who died on the way to escort, we wouldn't be able to tear us down and we wouldn't be able to tell the guy up!"

In these matters, Master Ji is still grateful to Master Ji Er.

"Jiang Qingshan..." Master Ji Er wanted to express his doubts. He suspected that Jiang Qingshan was not Pojun, but as soon as he spoke, he saw Ji Xiaotang pursing his lips slightly. Master Ji Er stopped immediately.

"What's wrong with Jiang Qingshan?" asked Master Ji.

"Our family has a ungrateful wolf. The night when Xie Ziqian rebels and besieged the Ji family, it was the mansion that this guy brought into."

"This is to know people but not your heart. However, I have always known that the Jiang family is not a good person. Unfortunately, when my father was alive, he was very confident about them." Master Ji said this, and when he saw that Master Ji Er did not follow suit, it was about Master Ji, so Master Ji obediently stopped talking.

"He had made the idea of ​​our Ji family's blessing. Second brother, did he ruin the Feng Shui of my Ji family?" When Master Ji asked this, he stood up slightly on the chair, obviously caring about this matter.

"Brother, don't worry, we made it early and didn't let him succeed." Master Ji Er said hurriedly. "When it comes to this, it's thanks to Xiaotang. It's not that Xiaotang is intent. That guy colluded with our servants and acted secretly. I'm afraid I'll be kept in the dark."

Master Ji Er explained in detail how Ji Xiaotang found Jiang Qingshan inappropriate.

Master Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang again and felt a little warmer.

Afterwards, Master Ji asked a lot about the renovation of the blessed land, as well as the ancestor worship at Qingyuan's family. When he heard that there are drought everywhere, only the Ji family's blessed land is still lush, Master Ji's expression was a little proud.

"The good vision of our ancestors..." Master Ji shook his hand and asked Master Ji Er again, "Second brother, I asked you to find someone to draw a detailed map of the blessed land. Have you brought it?"

Knowing that Master Ji Er was going to Beijing, Master Ji wrote a letter and repeatedly reminded him of this matter in the letter. Master Ji Er was quite dissatisfied with Master Ji's request, thinking that there were too many things to pay attention to in the current situation, but Master Ji only paid attention to the blessed land.

Despite this, Master Ji Er still asked someone to draw a map of the blessed land, and was told by Ji Xiaotang, so he took it with him and was ready to hand it over to Master Ji at any time.

When Master Ji saw that Master Ji Er took out the map, he hurriedly took it over happily. He immediately looked under the light and nodded while watching.

"...hiding the wind and gathering water..., huh... the place where dragons are prosperous..." Master Ji's voice stopped abruptly.

Fortunately, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji Er didn't hear his murmurs clearly, but they were speechless about his obsessive appearance.

"Thank you for your hard work in the second brother." Master Ji carefully put the map into his sleeve. "I have had some experience in the Book of Changes and Feng Shui. I am about to find a place of Feng Shui to compare and study it.... If I hadn't really been able to get rid of myself, I should have gone to Qingyuan in person..."

When Master Ji was happy, this sentence was a bit miserable. He did not return to Qingyuan to pick up Mrs. Ji, nor to worship his ancestors, but to explore the terrain and feng shui of the Ji family’s blessed land!

It was too late, and the most important things had been mentioned. Master Ji proposed that the rest could be discussed tomorrow. Master Ji was here from afar and it was time to rest first.

Master Ji Er stood up with Ji Xiaotang.

"Um...Second brother..." Master Ji seemed to suddenly remember what was, so he called Master Ji Er.

Master Ji Er stopped, but Master Ji stopped talking and his eyes wandered on Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang immediately understood, what did Master Ji say in front of her? Thinking about what he said just now, besides these, what else is so important but has to carry her on her back?

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaotang still bowed his knees and said goodbye first.

Master Ji arranged for someone to see Ji Xiaotang away, and then he spoke to Master Ji Er again.

"Second brother, who else did the old lady bring to Beijing this time?" Master Ji was a little anxious and a little embarrassed. "When I entered the door, there was a person standing behind the old lady. Why did he look like Qin... Qin Niang?"

...

Ji Xiaotang left the study room and did not return to Yanhua Hall, but came to Jinghua Hall.

Changsheng had already slept with the wet nurse, and the lights were still on in Mrs. Ji Er's room. She was not sleeping, but was waiting for Mr. Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang. Seeing that Ji Xiaotang was back first, Mrs. Ji Er asked someone to bring a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

"And your father's, you eat it first." Mrs. Ji Er looked at Ji Xiaotang eating porridge and asked Ji Xiaotang again, "Why are you back first?"

"Uncle seems to have something to ask my father privately." Ji Xiaotang told Mrs. Ji Er, "Dad should be back soon."

"How is the conversation?" Mrs. Ji Er asked again.

Ji Xiaotang paused for a moment before nodding.

Mrs. Ji Er didn't ask any more when she saw Ji Xiaotang's expression.

After Ji Xiaotang had porridge, Master Ji Er came back too.

Master Ji Er said that he was not hungry and refused to eat anything.

"What did the master tell you again?" Mrs. Ji Er asked.

"Nothing." Master Ji Er glanced at Ji Xiaotang.
To be continued...
