In the middle of the month, please give me a monthly ticket.『≤,

...

Ji Xiaotang and Mrs. Ji Er both advised Mr. Ji Er not to be angry. Being angry cannot solve the problem, so he can only get angry. Mr. Ji Er calmed down a little and knew that it was not wise to question Mr. Ji at this time.

After all, he is a brother, so he still has some understanding of Master Ji's character.

"At that time, Jiang Qingshan was coveting the Feng Shui of the Ji family's blessed land and wanted to bury his ancestors into the blessed land of my Ji family. After all, he was an outsider, but he... he is a descendant of the Ji family, and he actually wanted to do such a thing!" After Master Ji Er was angry, he felt even more heartache.

This is indeed the case. Ji Xiaotang couldn't persuade Master Ji Er to divert his attention. After knowing this, Ji Xiaotang was the calmest among the three.

"For the sake of the current plan, Dad is still thinking about what to do next. Uncle is still waiting for our news." Ji Xiaotang said to Master Ji Er.

Because he knew that the instructor behind him was Master Ji, Master Ji San suppressed his anger and did not take action immediately. Instead, he sent someone to monitor the Feng Shui masters and lend him the opportunity to send New Year gifts to the capital, and wrote a letter to inform Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang about the matter.

How to deal with this matter? Master Ji San has to listen to the opinions of their father and daughter.

"Your uncle has become much more mature and his work is getting more and more stable." Master Ji Er said in a low voice.

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded, "Dad thinks, what should we do?"

Master Ji Er thought for a moment, then asked Ji Xiaotang about his opinion: "Xiaotang, what if you think?"

"I don't know much about my uncle's personality. But judging from the fact that my uncle's marriage is, once he decides what to do, I'm afraid we can't convince him to change it." After reading the letter, Ji Xiaotang was thinking about how to solve it. Now when Master Ji Er asked, she expressed her thoughts.

"Xiaotang is right." Master Ji Er smiled bitterly. At the time, Old Master Ji was still there, but he threatened to rush Master Ji out of the Ji family, but he failed to change his mind. Now Old Master Ji has already passed away, and the rest of the Ji family...

Master Ji Er sighed.

He knew better than Ji Xiaotang about Master Ji's marriage. He also understood what Ji Xiaotang said in his tactful words.

"Good family is important to be harmonious." Ji Xiaotang paused, and then continued, "In my opinion, it is better not to expose this matter with my uncle."

"Think nothing was gone?" asked Master Ji Er.

Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyes slightly to cover up the emotions in his eyes. Some things can be forgiven, but the heart that does something is completely punishable.

"My uncle wants him not to disturb those Feng Shui masters. When the Feng Shui master leaves, he will restore the blessed land to its original state and burn incense and apologize in front of his ancestors. For the uncle, we just think that nothing has been born."

Master Ji Er did not comment.

"Dad will argue with his uncle in private about this matter in the future. In the current situation, it is really not appropriate for our family to... any cracks appear." Ji Xiaotang's speech was very tactful when it comes to Master Ji's issue.

This is to take care of Mr. Ji Er's emotions.

Master Ji Er stood up, walked in the room with his hands behind his back for a while, and finally nodded.

"It's up to you."

Things decided like this.∮,

"My uncle is very calm in the letter. I don't know what happened when he knew about this?" Ji Xiaotang asked about the copper coins.

The copper coins laughed.

"How was he liked at that time? Just come and say it." Master Ji Er also asked.

"The Third Master was very angry at that time." Tong Qian replied. Just looking at his appearance, Master Ji San was not only "very angry" at that time.

"According to my uncle's temper, he must be furious. But he can tolerate it and deal with it calmly, which is even more rare." Ji Xiaotang said.

The copper coins nodded repeatedly. He had been serving Master Ji San and had the most clear view of Master Ji San's growth and changes.

At this time, dinner had already passed. Seeing that Master Ji Er's mood had almost calmed down, Mrs. Ji hurriedly ordered someone to pass on the meal.

The dining table for copper coins was placed in the outer room, separated from the inner room by a curtain. When the food was put on, Ji Xiaotang picked several more foods and gave them to copper coins.

After dinner, they left copper coins to ask a lot of questions.

The copper coins were only staying in the capital for three days, and then hurried back to Qingyuan. When he came, the five carriages he brought were filled with New Year's greetings. When he returned, they turned into six carriages, which were also filled with them.

Even if the world is severe, the capital still remains prosperous.

Ji Xiaotang bought many rare things in Beijing that Ren An and asked the copper coins to take them back to Master Ji San and the Mu family. They were separated from each other, but the feelings between relatives were not only not distant, but also had a lot of concern.

Compared with the New Year Ceremony, letters are more important.

Master Ji Er pressed his thoughts and discussed with Master Ji calmly, and wrote a letter to Master Ji San. Ji Xiaotang also drafted another letter, which deceived Master Ji, and did not tell Mrs. Ji, and asked the copper coins to be handed over to Master Ji San.

Master Ji sent someone to do something to the Ji family’s ancestral grave, and you have to suppress it and not do it for the time being, let alone let others know about it. The so-called family scandal means that once it is spread, it will be of no benefit to the whole family.

The letter to the Mu family was written by Mrs. Ji Xiaotang, and everyone reported their safety, but nothing big happened.

As New Year's Eve approaches, the emperor and civil and military officials are also about to celebrate the New Year. Just as the government offices of various departments are about to officially seal and everyone is ready to celebrate the New Year, an order suddenly came out of the palace.

For the sake of his offspring, the palace is preparing to select a group of women with good moral character and good deeds, to enter the inner palace and act as female officials. The day for the selection is scheduled for April next year.

This time, when selecting female officials in the palace, they did not intend to choose from the public, but set the conditions for women in boudoirs of all the seventh rank and above officials. Although the scope of selection was narrow, the age was relaxed. Women who were not married from the age of fourteen to twenty-two can run for the election.

This decree was issued as if it was throwing a stone on the calm lake. Although there was no vibration on the upper and lower surfaces of the court and the country, it had a profound impact in private.

Xinhuatang was naturally affected.

Master Ji and Master Ji Er are now both fourth-ranked and have unmarried daughters. Ji Xiaolian, Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaoqin are all within the scope of their election.

Master Ji made an appointment with Master Ji Er to discuss this matter. Master Ji Er had a certain idea in his mind, so he said he wanted Mrs. Ji to make the decision. Although Master Ji was not happy, he had to follow Master Ji Er to come to Mrs. Ji.

In terms of this matter, Master Ji did not express any emotions on his face, but Master Ji Er was just the opposite. He obviously expressed his unwillingness to Ji Xiaotang enter the palace.∏∈,

Master Ji saw Master Ji's thoughts. Old Mrs. Ji even said explicitly that he did not want his granddaughters to enter the palace.

"Don't forget the rules set by our ancestors of the Ji family..." The family motto of the Ji family is not allowed to marry or marry. When Mrs. Ji said this, she glanced at Master Ji. Then she snorted coldly. "I'm afraid I've forgotten everything!"

When Mrs. Ji married Mr. Ji, although her father had not yet become a rank master, he was already the third-rank imperial court. Now, the grandfather of Ji Grandma Yang is Yang Gelao, and her father is the left minister of the Ministry of War.

No one follows the ancestral teachings of the Ji family in the room of Master Ji.

Master Ji was embarrassed when Mr. Ji said this to her face. She coughed twice and asked Master Ji Er for help with her eyes.

Now, Master Ji Er has fully understood the meaning of the ancestral teachings of the Ji family's ancestors, but he is also a little guilty about the issue of the ancestral teachings of the Ji family.

Although Mr. Ji San was later awarded the imperial examination and was named a fourth-rank official, which was considered to be a civil servant, he had also listened to Ji Xiaotang's persuasion and agreed to Mr. Ji San to practice martial arts. He did not object to Mr. Ji San's entry into the official career with martial arts.

Therefore, seeing Master Ji's gaze asking for help, Master Ji's second immediately stepped forward and changed the topic.

However, the matter of selecting female officials still needs to be discussed.

"It is a female official who wants to choose a palace, which is different from Gao's marriage. We are deeply grateful to the emperor, so we should repay us at this time." Master Ji said. When loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time, loyalty to the emperor must be put in front.

Master Ji said this and has already expressed his attitude.

"Xiaotang was named the county lord, so it is naturally a different matter." Then Master Ji said another sentence, meaning that Ji Xiaotang can be exempted from the election.

In this way, only Ji Xiaolian and Ji Xiaoqin can run for the election.

Master Ji can see through Master Ji Er’s thoughts. Master Ji Er can also see through Master Ji’s thoughts.

"I don't want Xiaotang to enter the palace, and Xiaotang's temperament is not suitable to enter the palace. It's just that we are not willing to choose, but we can't think of it. We always have to think of a safe way."

In this matter, Master Ji said that he could help Master Ji Er.

After a while of discussion, Old Mrs. Ji, Master Ji and Master Ji Er did not have any conflicts, but it was equivalent to talking to oneself. In the end, Old Mrs. Ji became impatient.

"You have never heard of me, and I don't think I'll listen to it this time. I'm too lazy to say it. Your daughter, just do whatever you like." Old Mrs. Ji said this, and it was rare that it didn't mean anything angry, but instead showed a little indifference.

"How dare my son behave like this?" Master Ji said immediately, "For such a big thing, the old lady must be willing to do it."

Old Mrs. Ji frowned and said that she was tired and asked Master Ji to take care of herself.

Master Ji pulled Master Ji Er to retreat together.

When Ji Xiaotang learned the news and rushed to Xuanhua Hall, Old Mrs. Ji was angry.

"What do you want me to be willing to do? I am right and wrong, fake, I don't dare to show him the most. There is no such person in the Ji family, and our Gu family has never had such a person!" When Mrs. Ji saw Ji Xiaotang coming, she immediately grabbed Ji Xiaotang and complained. "If I hadn't remembered that you always advised me, I would have scolded him at that time and tear him down!"

"It's right for grandmother to not do anything." Ji Xiaotang advised old lady Ji.

After complaining, Old Mrs. Ji felt angry and worried about Ji Xiaotang: "Since that meaning, you have to run for the election."

Ji Xiaotang is also worried about this.

She is the county lord, but not the royal blood. When choosing a female official, she cannot decide whether she participates or not, it depends entirely on the meaning of the palace.

He said that he was unwilling to run for the election and comforted Mrs. Ji Xiaotang hurriedly went to Jinghuatang to discuss with Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er.

Mr. Ji Er just came back from Mr. Ji and was talking about this to Mrs. Ji Er.

"Although there are many people in the harem now, there are not many people with positions, and there are still many seats free. And more importantly, Your Majesty has no descendants yet..." Master Ji Er sighed when he said this.

This time, the selection of female officials was actually to choose a concubine for Emperor Longqing, and the imperial edict stated that it was a plan for the imperial heir. They were worried about how Ji Xiaotang would not run for election, but they were afraid that others were racking their brains to rush to run for election and how to be elected.

"I just talked to my elder brother for a while, and I see what he meant. I hope Xiaolian can be selected." Seeing Ji Xiaotang coming, Master Ji Er asked her to sit down and continue the topic just now.

"...The queen also comes from the Han family and is the niece of the empress dowager's relative. But the queen is weak. The last time I went to the palace to see her, I vaguely looked like she was about to die." There was no one else in the house, so Ji Xiaotang said this.

Therefore, the competition for selection will be very fierce this time.

If any selected female official is favored by Emperor Longqing and gives birth to a little prince once, she will not only get the position of a concubine in the harem, but may also... enter the central palace.

The Queen's Reign and Mother's Reign in the World is so attractive to many people.

"Your uncle and aunt should have thought of this too." Master Ji Er nodded slightly, "The yamen is about to send a letter, and such an order suddenly came out of the palace. I and several colleagues were very surprised. However, when I observed your uncle, I didn't seem to be surprised."

"It is very likely that my uncle and aunt had heard the wind a long time ago." Ji Xiaotang analyzed.
To be continued...
