Mrs. Ji did not disagree with Master Ji, nor did she not want to do such a thing, but she was still clear at the moment, so she understood one thing:

"Xiaolian and Xiaotang are different from the Empress Dowager and the Concubine!" said Mrs. Ji. ()

"oh?"

"Xiaolian is not Xiaotang's opponent." Although she was unwilling, Mrs. Ji had to admit this, especially when denying this would harm Ji Xiaolian's interests. "Xiaotang is like the second master, with deep scheming. Compared to Xiaotang, Xiaolian is still a child."

Even if Ji Xiaolian and Ji Xiaotang are placed on the same point, Ji Xiaolian can't plot against Ji Xiaotang, let alone this situation. Even if there is Xinhua Hall, all the support from Yangge Lao Mansion will not work. After all, it is in the Forbidden Palace, and many things are not something outside can control.

In addition to scheming, Ji Xiaotang is better than Ji Xiaolian in terms of talent and appearance.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Ji began to suspect that Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er had the idea of ​​sending Ji Xiaotang into the palace, and they felt a crisis and wanted to stop Ji Xiaotang from entering the palace.

Master Ji frowned and didn't believe it: "Xiaotang's child is smart, but after all, he is still young, and he has seen few of them, so he won't..."

"Master, just believe me about this. I am in the back house, so I can see it more clearly than the master." Mrs. Ji said in a hurry. There are some things that Master Ji doesn't know, but she knows, but she can't tell Master Ji. For example, the two girls she gave to Ji Xiaotang just after Ji Xiaotang moved into Yanhua Hall...

"So..., what about Mrs. Yi?" Master Ji thought for a while, but did not stick to his opinion, but asked Mrs. Ji.

"The best way is to prevent Xiaotang from running for election. Didn't the master say that he would let Xiaotang be exempted from election?"

"Where is no choice but to be so easy..." Especially when Master Ji Er did not cooperate.

"I have a way." Mrs. Ji gently stroked the pearl bracelet on her wrist.

"Madam, please speak."

"Since the second master understands that he doesn't want Xiaotang to run for the election, then let's go with the flow... Xiaotang doesn't run for the election. The most appropriate way is to dare to get engaged before the election!" Mrs. Ji has been thinking about this matter for a long time, so it seems quite confident at this time.

"It's amazing!" Master Ji immediately agreed, "Does Madam have a candidate?"

"At that time, she had not been named the county lord, so she could just find a family. It was the best thing to do. I planned to mention this matter to my second wife before the New Year." But now Ji Xiaotang is the county lord, and if she finds her husband's family, this family must be more particular.

"I have considered it, other people's family can't do it. The second master and the second wife have excuses to refuse, but they can't find anything more picky about the family I plan to find." Mrs. Ji smiled again.

"Which family is the wife going to talk about?" asked Master Ji.

"It's not someone else, it's the master's teacher's house." Mrs. Ji raised her eyebrows and said, not saying it was her parents' house, but saying it was the master's teacher's house.

"Oh..." Master Ji nodded while touching his beard, then frowned slightly, "Why don't I remember which grandson in the teacher's family is the same age as Xiaotang?"

"Some." Mrs. Ji said, "Pianpian's youngest brother is the eldest grandson of the old mansion. She is worthy of Shang Xiaotang!"

"What is the wife talking about Xuan Rang?"

"It's Xuan Rang." Mrs. Ji smiled.

"If I remember correctly, Xuan Rang will be only twelve years old after the New Year. 『≤,"

"Xiaotang is older than Xuan Rang, but when I go back to be this matchmaker, I think my elder brother and sister-in-law will have to give me some face. We can be considered as a kiss." Mrs. Ji smiled a little proudly.

This is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Master Ji did not agree immediately, but thought for a moment.

Yang Xuanrang is only eleven years old this year, and has not yet entered school, so of course he has no official position. Yang Xuanrang married Ji Xiaotang, which is Yibin, and this marriage is still profitable by the Yang family.

Will Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er agree? Will Mrs. Ji agree?

Mrs. Ji saw Master Ji’s hesitation.

"Didn't the second master not want Xiaotang to enter the palace? Then there is only one way now. There are many people in this capital who are clear-minded and clear-eyed. At this time, Xiaotang is only Xuan Rang dares to marry her. The second master must be picky. Unless he is quarreling, he still plans to let Xiaotang enter the palace."

"Okay, let's do Mrs. Yi." Master Ji thought about it again and finally nodded.

Yang Xuan couldn't match Ji Xiaotang, but Master Ji Er had to consider Mr. Yang.

"I went back and told my aunt that if I could persuade my father to propose marriage in person, the second master would have to respond even if he didn't want to respond." Mrs. Ji lowered her voice slightly and said, obviously she had already considered this.

At this point, Master Ji had no doubts anymore and nodded with a smile.

"This matter is not too late. If it is too late, it will be impossible to recover any orders issued by the palace."

Master Ji did not explain what the decree would come to the palace, but Mrs. Ji understood it immediately and nodded immediately.

...

Jinghuatang

After Ji Xiaotang left, Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er continued to discuss the topic of how to avoid her entering the palace.

"I have been paying attention to Xiaotang's marriage after I entered Beijing." Mr. Ji Er told Mr. Ji Er that he had two friends of the same year and now he is an official in Beijing. Although his official position is not high, his family background is good.

What Mr. Ji Er said is not that the other party is a high-ranking family, but that the other party is a scholarly family and is passed down through family life.

These two friends have unreconcilable children and nephews at home, both scholars and are about the same age as Ji Xiaotang.

"Next to the next Chinese New Year, everyone must not have any contact. You should pay more attention to it. If it is appropriate, Xiaotang will not object, so then set the marriage down." Master Ji Er told Mrs. Ji Er.

Mrs. Ji nodded, but said, "Everything else is easy to say. It is rare for two young people to get along with... If we want to talk about a suitable partner, we have been watching it for a long time, and it is not without it..."

"Madam is saying...Ah You?"

"The master also saw it?"

Master Ji Er couldn't help but sigh. Of course he could see that at first, because Qi Younian concealed his identity and other reasons, he was not optimistic about Qi Younian. But later, he changed his opinion.

However, Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang are destined to be impossible.

"Ayou is the candidate for Princess Changning's son-in-law, and there is only one imperial edict left." Master Ji Er said.

"But Ayou is not willing. I think that child treats Xiaotang with Zhicheng, and he will not agree.⊥," said Mrs. Ji Er.

"He is not alone. There is also a family member of the Weiwu Hou Mansion behind him. His marriage is not his own marriage." Master Ji Er shook his head and came to the capital these days. He had seen clearly about this matter.

The Lord Changning married Qi Younian, and Qi Younian had to marry him if he didn't want to.

"That Xiaotang..."

"Xiaotang is more clear than we can see at this point. She is definitely not a child who can figure out the situation." Master Ji Er sighed deeply, "Xiaotang values ​​love, but will not mislead things because of love."

"We two daughters are just because of this marriage, both of them..."

The couple sighed at each other for a while, but decided to start the marriage of Ji Xiaotang.

Mrs. Ji was not good at seeing each other before the New Year, but Mrs. Ji found an excuse to go back to her parents' home before the New Year. When she came back from Yangge Lao's mansion, Ji Xiaolian was already waiting for her in Qianhua Hall.

"Is the matter said?" Although Ji Xiaolian did not go with Mrs. Ji, she knew the purpose of Mrs. Ji's trip this time, so she asked.

"Well, it's considered as true." Mrs. Ji nodded.

"Mom, what's the point?"

Before returning to his parents' home, Mrs. Ji had already secretly approved the news with her aunt. So when she went back this time, she told the marriage directly in front of Mr. Yang.

Before Mr. Yang Ge said anything, Yang Pianpian first agreed to this marriage. It turned out that although she had not been with Ji Xiaotang for a long time, she admired Ji Xiaotang very much and felt that no matter how good her younger brother could marry Ji Xiaotang.

"She looks down on Xiaotang so much. I know that she is like this just to lower me than to lower her words." Ji Xiaolian pouted and complained when she heard Mrs. Ji pout.

Although it was a complaint, Ji Xiaolian still urged Mrs. Ji to continue talking.

No matter how much Yang Pianpian likes Ji Xiaotang, he cannot decide on this marriage.

"Your grandfather thinks this is a good marriage."

"My grandfather thinks it's good, then that's what it is?" Ji Xiaolian was puzzled.

But things are not that simple.

Although Mr. Yang thought this marriage was good, he was concerned about the selection next year and Ji Xiaotang's identity. Mr. Yang told Mr. Ji that he agreed with this marriage very much and would not dare to marry the county lord like other families. However, he was not able to come to propose marriage rashly.

Master Yang Ge asked Master Ji and Mrs. Ji to discuss with Mr. Ji Er and his wife first. Master Ji Er nodded so that he could propose marriage.

"The children looked at each other. I could also ask for this grace to His Majesty." This is what Mr. Yang said.

"Xiaotang is a great blessing for her to marry her cousin. My mother went to tell her second uncle and second aunt that if they know something, there would be nothing wrong with it." Ji Xiaolian said, her mood was quite complicated.

Ji Xiaotang and Yang Xuan were engaged, so they would not have been allowed to enter the palace. She lacked a strong opponent, which made her happy. However, on the other hand, in his opinion, the marriage between the Yang family was also quite good. You must know that when Master Ji and Mrs. Ji had not planned to let her enter the palace, they had thought of letting her marry into the Yang family.

At that time, Mrs. Ji tried several times and all encountered soft nails.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaotang's marriage to the Yang family made her feel a little sad.

When Master Ji came back, Mrs. Ji told Master Ji about everything he had passed. Master Ji touched his beard and did not speak for a long time.

"Master..." Mrs. Ji was a little confused about why he was silent and asked carefully.

"Um..." Master Ji came to his senses and raised his eyelids to look at Mrs. Ji. No matter how smart he is, he is still a woman's family after all, and he is easily deceived and cannot see clearly in some things.

Master Ji understood some things, but was not prepared to let Mrs. Ji know.

"Thank you for your hard work, so I have entrusted all this to you." Master Ji said with a smile.

"Of course I have me in my father's place. However, the second master, second wife, and old lady, have to talk about it." Mrs. Ji said angrily.

"This is natural." Master Ji did not shirk this.

Before the Chinese New Year was over, Ji Xiaotang knew that her marriage had been put on the agenda at the age of thirteen. Although she had nothing on the surface, she was not unhappy in secret.

In her memory of her previous life, there was no such thing as Emperor Longqing's choice of female officials. However, this does not mean that there was no such thing at that time.

At that time, she was on the way to escape, and had no chance or the intention to pay attention to such things.

I don’t know who will be selected, but the only thing she is sure is that there must be no one among the selected people.
To be continued...
