Chapter 177: Marriage Proposal
Wu Sheng arched his hand and said, "The words of the homecoming lord Chu Ci is still kneeling at the gate. ”
Ji Boyan said expressionlessly: "Go and invite him in." ”
"It's the head of the house. Wu Sheng turned to leave.
The doctor soon came.
Ji Man was only infected with the wind cold, and because he knelt for too long, he had some frostbite on his legs, so he would be fine after drinking a few doses of medicine.
She was still asleep.
Ah Yao went to decoct the medicine, and Ah Qiao stayed in front of the couch inch by inch.
Ji Jing went to Qingsong Academy before dawn today, and he simply lived in Qingsong Academy because of the delay on the road, so he didn't know what happened to the Ji family.
As soon as the doctor left, Ji Man opened her eyes, she knew Ji Boyan's temperament, and it was just pretending to faint if she had a fever.
"Jiaojiao. Aqiao looked at her worriedly.
Ji Man reached out and grabbed Aqiao's sleeve, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Go and see how Chu Lang is." ”
Ajo nodded, and she hurried out.
But in a moment she returned.
Without waiting for her to speak, Ji Man looked at her eagerly and asked, "What's wrong with Chu Lang." ”
Ah Qiao said breathlessly: "The Chu family Langjun went to the study of the head of the family. ”
Ji Man hooked her lips and smiled, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and she said softly: "I knew that my father would definitely be soft-hearted." ”
"Go and guard Qingfeng Residence, and carefully observe Chu Lang's expression when he came out. Even so, Ji Man was still a little uneasy.
Ah Qiao didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly walked out.
But after a while, Chu Ci limped in, the blood stains on his blue robe had not dried up, the whole person was extremely weak, and there was no blood on his lips at all.
This time, Ji Boyan did not ask Wu Sheng to take him to the front hall, but in Ji Boyan's study.
Outsiders are naturally not allowed to enter and leave other people's study at will, which shows that Chu Ci knows what he knows.
Ji Boyan sat on the circle chair.
Chu Ci staggered towards his hand, and he asked several times with anxiety on his face: "My lord, I heard that Aman has fainted, what happened to her? But is it okay? I beg my lord to let me see her! Even if I look at her from a distance, as long as I can be sure that she is safe and sound, I will rest assured." ”
He knelt down pleading as he spoke.
Ji Boyan looked at him expressionlessly: "Can you read and hyphenation?"
Chu Ci said in an extremely hoarse voice: "Yes." ”
This is the study, and there is a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.
Ji Boyan looked at Chu Ci lightly and said, "Go write a few words and show me." ”
"Yes. Chu Ci walked to the table with great difficulty, only to see him write a few words in one go.
Wu Sheng handed his words to Ji Boyan.
Ji Boyan stretched out his hand to take it, and he couldn't take his eyes off the words on the paper.
This heart can show the sun and the moon!
Looking at these words, a hint of appreciation flashed in Ji Boyan's eyes.
In just a few words, you can see Chu Ci's skills, but the words written by others looking thin are vigorous and powerful, and every stroke is just right, which is by no means overnight.
Ji Boyan's face softened a little.
Chu Ci took in the expression on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief quietly, he walked up to Ji Boyan with some difficulty and bowed and said, "Let the adults laugh." ”
Ji Boyan put the words in his hand aside, he looked at Chu Ci for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Remember what you said today, you will never lose Aman in this life." ”
Chu Ci's eyes lit up, he knelt in front of Ji Boyan and said solemnly: "Thank you, please rest assured, I will love her, respect her, love her, respect her, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”
Ji Boyan raised his hand and said, "Get up!"
Wu Sheng stepped forward and helped Chu Ci up.
Ji Boyan glanced at Chu Ci deeply and said, "Aman is just suffering from the wind and cold, it's not a big problem, you can go back! ”
"Thank you, sir. Chu Ci was so excited that his voice trembled.
Ji Boyan bowed slightly.
Chu Ci bowed and walked out.
He walked very slowly, obviously covered in wounds, and every step was painful for him, but the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, and his face was full of joy.
Although Ji Boyan's words were clear, his attitude had already been indicated between the lines.
Ah Qiao was guarding outside Qingfeng Residence, and she hid in an inconspicuous place and watched Chu Ci walk out.
She was so happy when she saw it, and Wu Sheng personally sent him out.
After Chu Ci left, Ah Qiao went back quietly, and she carefully told Ji Man everything she saw.
A-Yao was feeding Ji Man medicine.
The house was full of the smell of medicine, if it was in the past, A-Yao would have to be carefully persuaded for a long time before Ji Man would be willing to take medicine.
But this time, she didn't complain at all, her heart was sweet, and she didn't even feel bitter about the medicine.
A-Yao wiped Ji Man's mouth, Ji Man breathed a long sigh of relief, and she said with a smile: "Father finally agreed." ”
Ji Yu was lying on the couch, there was a lamp lit in the room, she asked Magu and Mrs. Zhao to go down to rest, she didn't need to send someone to inquire to know how this matter would end.
From the time she handed a letter to Wei and asked Mei Ruoxue to come forward to persuade Ji Boyan, she knew that Ji Boyan would definitely agree.
In fact, even if there is no Mei Ruoxue, Ji Boyan will agree, but it will take some twists and turns.
and made Ji Man and Chu Ci happy for two days.
The gift she had prepared for them was almost over.
Ji Yu turned over, a trace of worry flashed on her face, she didn't know if Jiang Ce's words that day were just to test Gao Yin, or to scare her, or if she really had this thought?
She was very uneasy.
If he really had this thought, how would she respond?
Ji Yu sighed lightly, when the news of her and Brother Tie Niu was spreading, Brother Tie Niu left without a sound, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
It would be great if Brother Tie Niu was still there, at least it could save her a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The night is long.
Gao Yin sat in the study without saying a word, his face was a little gloomy.
When his father came back that day, he told him that the marriage between Princess Jiang He and Gao Chen was a certainty, and Mrs. Hui would ask the king for advice in the near future, and he had already led the trouble to Jiang Ce.
He frowned and spat out a few words: "Jiangling." ”
"What do you have to say Lang Jun?" his voice fell, and Jiang Ling immediately appeared in front of him.
Gao Yin's eyes sank slightly, and he said casually: "Can you find the trace of Li Tieniu?"
"Yes, he left the waterway and was almost there. Gangneung arched his hand and said.
Gao Yin glanced at Jiangling lightly and said, "Tell him that he doesn't have to leave Linzi City, and the five hundred gold won't be returned, just let him keep his mouth shut." ”
Jiang Ling looked up suddenly, and his eyes were full of doubts as he looked at Gao Yin.
Gao Yin's eyes narrowed: "Do you have any questions?"
"If you go back to Langjun, your subordinates will do it. Jiang Ling immediately retracted his gaze and didn't dare to look at Gao Yin again.
Gao Yin bowed slightly.
Gangneung turned and walked out.
In the morning, Ji Yu was having breakfast, and Mrs. Zhao walked in slowly, she looked at Ji Yu Yingying Yifu and said: "Jiaojiao, Chu Ci came to visit Ji Man early in the morning, and he is in Ji Man's room at the moment!"
Ji Yu smiled faintly: "The two of them are very inseparable!"
The weather is gradually getting warmer.
The plum blossoms in the lotus garden have been defeated, and a gust of wind blows through the falling flowers.
Today, Ji Yu is in a very good mood.
After breakfast, she asked Magu to move the soft collapse to the gazebo in the courtyard.
Ji Wei sat on the soft couch and basked in the sun with a bit of laziness.
Mrs. Zhao was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she ordered someone to move the charcoal basin to the pavilion.
The gazebo is surrounded by light yarn swaying.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng ......" Mei Ruoxue was stroking the piano again.
A few birds occasionally passed by in the sky, and a few willow trees in the courtyard were already green.
Ji Yu looked at the cloudless sky casually, and she hooked her lips and smiled faintly.
Chu Ci is still in Ji Man's room.
I don't know what method Mrs. Hui used, today, the king of the court personally decreed the marriage between Princess Jiang He and Gao Chen, and only waited for Si Tianjian to set the wedding date after the divination.
Mrs. Fan had already been killed with a cane, and Mrs. Hui locked Princess Jiang He in the Liuyun Palace, and sent seven or eight mothers-in-law to watch her, not allowing her to take a step.
Knowing that the king had decreed her marriage to Gao Chen, Princess Jiang He fainted instantly.
Mrs. Hui didn't want her to be so sad, but there was no room for things to turn around.
After the morning court today, Zhao Yuan was almost at home in the carriage.
The carriage was suddenly stopped.
A person stepped into the carriage, and the person who came was none other than Xu Wang.
Zhao Tidian. Xu Wang bowed to Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan didn't have any surprise on his face, the corners of his mouth went up and looked at Xu Wang, and said with his hands crossed: "But what does Dazai-sama command?"
Xu Wang arched his hand and said, "My lord, please find a little bit to talk about it." ”
Zhao Yuan replied very cheerfully: "Okay, let me go back and change my clothes." ”
Xu Wang looked at him and bowed slightly, turned around and jumped out of the carriage and disappeared into the crowd.
Zhao Yuan returned home and changed into civilian clothes and an inconspicuous carriage.
The carriage wandered around the street a few more times before stopping at the back door of Xu Hong's house.
There were already people there.
Zhao Yuan got out of the carriage and went straight to Xu Hong's study.
Huang Cheng followed behind Zhao Yuan and approached Xu Hong's study before he was blocked.
Zhao Yuan turned his head and glanced at Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng nodded at him in understanding.
Zhao Yuanti stepped into Xu Hong's study.
He entered with his front foot, and the door was shut.
Xu Hong was the only one in the study.
Zhao Yuan stepped forward a few steps forward and bowed to Xu Hong and said, "Zhao Yuan see Lord Dazai." ”
Xu Hong didn't go to the court today.
The corners of Xu Hong's mouth twitched: "Zhao Ti, please get up quickly." ”
Zhao Yuan stood up straight, he glanced at Xu Hong quietly, and there was a trace of dark clouds wrapped around the corners of Xu Hong's eyes and eyebrows.
"Zhao Ti, please take a seat!" Xu Hong sat in a gesture of invitation to Zhao Yuan.
"Master Xie. Zhao Yuan sat on the circle chair next to him after the salute.
Xu Hong picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yuan and said, "Zhao Ti, please use tea." ”
Zhao Yuan looked flattered, he got up and said, "Thank you, Dazai-sama." ”
Xu Hong bowed slightly.
Zhao Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the cup of tea, he looked at Xu Hong on the table on the side of the tea room and said, "My lord, if you have anything, just do it." ”
Xu Hong looked at Zhao Yuan intently and said: "It's not a secret, I asked Zhao Tidian to come over today, and I hope that Zhao Tidian will give the old man some guidance." ”
"My lord, please. Zhao Yuan looked at Xu Hong and said.
Xu Hong looked at Zhao Yuan intently and said bluntly: "I sent people to search for many days, but I have never found the woman who belongs to the dragon, and I want to ask Zhao Ti to do some divination to see how to find her." ”
He originally had a half-believing attitude towards Zhao Yuan's words, but how could he expect that disasters would happen one after another, and he couldn't allow him to think too much about things now, just for psychological comfort, and he had to find the dragon woman who could help him as soon as possible.
Zhao Yuan said very happily: "My subordinates will do a divination for the adult." ”
As he spoke, he took out three copper coins from his sleeve.
Under Xu Hong's gaze, he threw it into the air, and three copper coins instantly landed on the table beside him.
Two copper coins face up, and one copper plate face up.
Xu Hong watched intently.
Zhao Yuan only glanced at it and put away the copper coin.
Xu Hong's eyes were full of doubts.
Under his gaze, Zhao Yuan looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, Congratulations, from the hexagram, the adult has found her." ”
"Who is it?" Xu Hong's eyes lit up.
Zhao Yuan arched his hand and said sonorously: "The subordinates don't know, but the adults have already found her." ”
The confusion on Xu Hong's face was even worse, he frowned and said: "I sent someone to search for many days without success before I asked Zhao Tidian to come over for divination, and I was even more puzzled when Zhao Tidian said this." ”
Zhao Yuan smiled and said slowly: "I only have one sentence to tell adults, arsenic of A and honey of B!"
Xu Hong still didn't understand the deep meaning of his words, he looked at Zhao Yuan intently and said, "Zhao Tidian's sentence is too profound, can you say it more bluntly." ”
"Leaking the secret of heaven is afraid of being punished by heaven, the adults will know it carefully, do you remember that the lower official once said that the adults had already seen her. Zhao Yuan said with a sad face.
At this point, Xu Hong couldn't force him.
The matter was over, and the lower official took his leave. Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, looked at Xu Hong, and said.
"Someone! Xu Hong nodded and said.
"It's my lord. Xu Wang pushed the door and walked in, and he personally sent Zhao Yuan out.
"Arsenic of A, honey of B, ......" Xu Hong repeated his sentence in a low voice.
Xu Wang came back soon, and he stood aside and looked at Xu Hong with puzzled eyes.
"Arsenic of A, honey of B, ......" Xu Hong repeated several times in a row.
Wu, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly, "I understand." ”
"My lord?" Xu Wang looked at him inexplicably.
With a wave of Xu Hong's sleeves, he walked out from behind the table, he looked at Xu Wang intently and said, "Go and prepare a rich dowry." ”
"Yes. Xu Wang didn't dare to ask more, he hurried to prepare.
When Ji Boyan returned home, he sat down and drank a cup of hot tea.
Li Shi came, and she walked in with the ginseng soup prepared for Ji Boyan in her hand.
"The husband has worked too hard these days, and the concubine cooked some ginseng soup for the husband. Li said to Ji Boyan and took out a bowl of steaming ginseng soup from the food box.
Ji Boyan stretched out his hand to take the ginseng soup handed by the Li family, and drank it spoonful by spoonful.
Li stepped forward and gently pinched Ji Boyan's shoulder.
After Ji Boyan drank the ginseng soup, Li Shi said: "The concubine went to see Miss Mei Ruoxue yesterday. ”
As she spoke, she carefully observed the expression on Ji Boyan's face.
Ji Boyan did not speak.
Li Shi sympathized and then said: "Miss Mei Ruoxue is really a hard worker, the concubine immediately remembered herself, and she has no relatives and no reason in this world, only the husband and Ayin." ”
Li's eyes turned red as he spoke, and Ji Boyan raised his hand to gently hold Li's hand.
Li slowly walked around to Ji Boyan, she looked at Ji Boyan with red eyes and said: "But the most important thing for a daughter's family is reputation, and it is not appropriate for Miss Mei Ruoxue to live in our house like this after all." ”
She paused, carefully observing the expression on Ji Boyan's face, and seeing that he was not angry, she continued to say: "It's better to find a proper place for Miss Mei Ruoxue, so that she doesn't suffer from being displaced, which is also a good deed, and there will be blessings in the future." ”
Ji Boyan glanced at Li Shi and said, "It's still thoughtful, let me think about it myself!"
Seeing that there was no reluctance on his face, Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Ci is still in Ji Man's room.
Li Shi mentioned it to Ji Boyan.
Ji Boyan looked at Li and said: "Wei is not feeling well and should not work, this matter will be handed over to you, you find someone to calculate a day for them, let them get married as soon as possible!"
Li Yingying Yifu said: "Yes." ”
"The head of the house. At that moment, Wu Sheng's voice rang out, and somehow there was panic in his voice.
Ji Boyan frowned and said, "Come in." ”
Wu Sheng pushed the door and walked in, he hurriedly walked in front of Ji Boyan and said, "Family master, Dazai-sama is here." ”
"What did you say?" Ji Boyan was startled, and he stood up suddenly.
Xu Hong is in a high position and acting very domineering, he has no dealings with Xu Hong, why did Xu Hong suddenly visit?
Li Shi was also shocked.
Under their gaze, Wu Sheng continued, "Dazai-sama also brought a lot of dowry gifts. ”
Ji Boyan looked surprised.
Li was also shocked in his heart, since he came with a dowry, he naturally came to ask for marriage, but who did he come to ask to marry?
In addition to Ji Man, there are Ji Wei and Ji Mei who are suitable for marriage in the family, Ayin is a little younger than them, it shouldn't be Ayin!
"Let's go, come with me to meet Dazai-sama. Ji Boyan said hurriedly.
Li hurriedly retreated.
Ji Boyan took Wu Shengcai out of the study, and Xu Hong walked over with someone.
Ji Boyan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The lower officials see Lord Dazai." ”
Xu Hong looked at Ji Boyan and smiled: "Why didn't Lord Ji invite me in and sit down?"
Xu Hong brought dozens of boxes of dowry gifts.
At a glance, the courtyard was full of dowry gifts he brought.
"Dazai-sama, please come in. Ji Boyan made a gesture of invitation to Xu Hong, and he glanced at the dowry in the courtyard, and the doubts in his heart were even greater.
Xu Hong walked in with a smile.
Ji Boyan personally poured Xu Hong a cup of hot tea, he looked at Xu Hong and said, "Dazai-sama, please use tea." ”
"There's Lord Laoji. Xu Hong took the tea and said very politely.
Ji Boyan didn't dare to sit, he stood in front of Xu Hong.
Xu Hong took a sip of tea, looked at Ji Boyan and said, "Master Ji is also sitting!"
"It's my lord. Ji Boyan sat down at this time, and he looked at Xu Hong with a restrained look.
Xu Hong looked at him and smiled and said, "Master Ji, I will have something to say directly." ”
Ji Boyan immediately got up and said, "Dazai-sama, please have something to say." ”
"Master Ji sits. Xu Hong looked at Ji Boyan with a smile.
"Yes. Ji Boyan sat down again with a panicked face, and he looked at Xu Hong with a hint of unease.
Under his gaze, the corners of Xu Hong's mouth hooked and said: "I have taken a fancy to a Jiaojiao from Master Ji's family, and I want to accept her into the house, and those gifts outside are my heart." ”
Ji Boyan's eyes widened slightly, and he was stunned for a moment.
Xu Hong didn't blame it, he looked at Ji Boyan and said solemnly: "The wife of the chaff doesn't go to the court, although I can't give Jiaojiao the position of the main room, but I will definitely not treat Jiaojiao badly, as long as she enters the mansion, she will be my Xu Hong's concubine, I promise not to let her suffer a little grievance." ”
Ji Boyan slowly came back to his senses, he got up and looked at Xu Hong intently: "Dare to ask the adult who has a fancy for my daughter?"
