The dinner of the Ji family turned into a book tasting conference, the family sat in one place to read a book, and occasionally someone tasted a few words from time to time, which was really happy, until late at night, everyone dispersed, and Ji Yi and Wu's washed and rested.

The old couple was lying on the bed, Ji Yi said to Wu's family: "These days, Your Majesty often calls the children of the family into the palace, I look at it coldly, Your Majesty intends to rectify those families, and it seems that he is not happy to let the ministers have more land, I see that our family's book printing workshop has made a lot of money now, and the other shops have also made money, you take advantage of this son's land price is still high to find a few pieces of land to sell." ”

"What?" Wu Shi was shocked: "You want to sell land?" This land is our foundation, and if we sell it, ......"

Ji Yi sighed: "Sell it, I can't say that it will be the root cause of trouble in the future, in addition, you also sold the night pearl that Sister Xian'er originally picked up, it is said that a salt merchant in the south went to Jinling to find that rare treasure, so you sold the night pearl to him, and took the opportunity to ask for a big price, and the silver sold was used to buy a few houses in the city." ”

"The pearl was also sold this night?" Wu Shi was shocked again, and was a little reluctant: "This was picked up on the ancestral grave." ”

"Those treasures have always caused trouble, although I am now a prime minister, many people dare not fight our family's idea, but I will always retire one day, at that time, if our son can not be in a high position, our family will be eye-catching, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to get more money to share with our children and grandchildren." Ji Yi thought for a while.

He grabbed Wu's hand: "You sell it first, see how much silver you can sell." Let's look for a house again, if it sells more, let's buy eight sets of five-entry houses, if the silver sold is less, regardless of whether it is three or two, we will also buy eight sets, don't let people point at us and say that they are eccentric. ”

"Yes." Wu knows that although his children and grandchildren are harmonious, he must also be fair and just when he is an old man, otherwise it is easy to provoke children and grandchildren.

"Seal up all the silver and jewels that are left. In the future, we will take it as a dowry for Sister Xian. Ji Yi was still a little unhappy when he talked about Ji Songxian's marriage: "Although Cheng Huaijin is the son-in-law of the Chengguo Mansion. But I see that he means that he doesn't plan to recognize his father, so he has a family and doesn't have to leave, and it hasn't been long since he entered Jinling City. There has been no one to help all these years. I'm afraid I don't have much business. Let's give Sister Xian more dowry, so that she can save her hardship. ”

"I heard he bought a house." Wu Shi also said the words in his heart: "The house is still five-in, and there is no shortage of houses if you want to come." I just don't know if he has bought a Zhuangzi shop or not, and whether he has spare money in his hands. ”

"It's useless to say anything now." Ji Yi had a sad look on his face: "After all, it doesn't matter how he is, let's do our best." I don't know what Sister Xian'er thinks, so I chose such a ...... Alas, although His Majesty promised that Sister Xian would not be involved in the future, if Cheng Huaijin was convicted, would our Sister Xian be okay? ”

"Don't say anything scary." Wu's patted Ji Yi: "I can't say that they are in love all their lives, and now they don't want to be far away, let's arrange the things in front of me first, and wait for me to sell the pearl of the night tomorrow, and then give our family the eight search houses, and wait for the old seven and eight to take the examination next year, and don't care whether they marry a daughter-in-law or not, this family must be divided." ”

"It's right, it's right." Ji Yizhi nodded: "It is inevitable that some people will be angry when such a large family has lived together for a long time, although we don't ask them to use money to subsidize the family, but who has a different temperament and temperament from whom, besides, who doesn't have a little calculation, don't wait for their brothers to really have any thoughts, it's better to separate earlier." ”

Ji Yi talked a lot to Wu's again, and the next morning, after Wu's freshened up, he asked someone to inquire about who wanted to buy Zhuangzi, and inquired about the salt merchant's foothold, and asked someone to tell him that there was a night pearl on hand, but the price was quite high.

After the Wu family made the arrangement, he thought about what Ji Yi said last night, so he began to worry about Ji Songxian again, and began to calculate how much the jewelry, gold and silver that Ji Songxian dug up were worth, and calculated the dowry that he had saved for Ji Songxian.

Because good wood is hard to find now, Wu began to save wood earlier, and over the years have saved a lot, and some books, and then antique decorations, this is not much, but with money can be bought immediately, in addition to clothing and the like can also be bought immediately, and then there are Zhuangzi shops and silver jewelry in the box.

Wu Shi thought about buying two shops, and then taking out one or two of his own Zhuangzi to make dowry for Ji Songxian, and the other is that many jewelry looks out of fashion, and they have to be melted and then made new ones, so there are a lot of things.

So, after sending Xu's to Xu's, Wu's began to get busy, and he was almost not at home every day.

Ji Songxian's days also passed day by day, going to the vegetable garden to grow vegetables every day, writing a book in the house, and then following the Wu family or the Sun family to each family to eat.

In this way, after some time, in the autumn, Emperor Qingfeng issued an edict to ask Ji Songxian and Cheng Huaijin to get married in the spring of the next year.

In this way, the Ji family began to go to Cheng Huaijin's house to measure the size of the new house, invited a good carpenter to make furniture, and found a tailor to make clothes for Ji Songxian for the four seasons.

Fortunately, Wu prepared things earlier, there was no shortage of wood, the jewelry was melted into many new styles, and the quilts and noodles were also prepared, and with the help of several daughters-in-law in the family, it would not be in a hurry.

After the wedding date was determined, a few days later, when it was time for dinner, the family gathered, Wu asked the people not to set the meal first, she and Ji Yi sat in the first place, the family gathered around, Ji Yi coughed and looked at the children and smiled: "Let's talk before dinner today, and you can mention any opinions." ”

"Daddy said." Ji Gang smiled and asked Ji Yi to say first.

Ji Yi smiled: "You all know that your sister has some good luck, when she went to sweep the tomb of our ancestors, she picked up a night pearl, and later dug up some treasures at home, it turned out that your mother and I sealed these things, but now your sister is about to get married, I have to tell you where these things go." ”

When the sons of the Ji family heard this, they immediately said that even if Ji Songxian got it, they should give her a dowry.

Ji Yi was very relieved to hear this, raised his hand to stop his son's daughter-in-law's words, and nodded with a smile: "What you said is very true, I also know that you have always cared for your sister-in-law, and what she got should also be given to her, but you will inevitably need money to start a family in the future, and I can't patronize my daughter regardless of whether my son can live or not, so I can only treat Sister Xian badly." ”

When Ji Songxian heard this, he immediately stood up and gave Ji Yi a salute: "Those things are all dug up from home, they are not mine, how can my father arrange it, and where can I say that I am not treated badly, my father raised me so big, my whole body was given by my father, and the kindness of my father and sister-in-law can be compared with a few dollars." ”

Wu smiled: "Sister Xian has always been the most polite. ”

Several concubines of the Sun family and the Wang family also praised Ji Songxian with a smile.

Ji Yi said again: "Although I lost her, I can't lose her too much, so I discussed with your mother, and sold the night pearl that Sister Xian picked up, and got a lot of silver, your mother has been busy looking at the house these days, and bought eight sets of five-entry houses in the city, your brothers are not biased, one set per person, and they can be regarded as having a place to live, and I also kept the rest of the Zhuangzi shops, and I will give them to your brothers in the future, only gold, silver, jewelry, etc., all of which are sealed up for Sister Xian'er as a dowry." ”

As soon as Ji Gang heard this, he immediately got up: "This is also too much for my sister, let's pick up some of those Zhuangzi shops for my sister." ”

Ji Zhen also said: "The eldest brother is right, my sister's dowry should be richer." ”

Ji Yi waved his hand: "It's your own family that loses or doesn't lose, and Sister Xian'er doesn't like to suffer, this matter is settled, if you think your sister has suffered a loss, just add more makeup to her." ”

In this way, the Ji Gang brothers stopped talking, and the Sun family showed a little joy on their faces.

They originally looked at the Ji family's love for Ji Songxian, and they had long thought that the treasures and Zhuangzi shops that Ji Songxian had obtained were going to be taken away by her, thinking that they were not afraid of anything, but now each family has a big mansion with five entrances, and the Zhuangzi shop has also been left for them, how can they not be happy.

After Ji Yi finished speaking, Wu said with a smile: "The house was bought, your father and I don't have the energy to maintain it for you, so now we will distribute it to you, and you will decorate and maintain it yourself." ”

Speaking of this, she asked Suixin to bring a box over, pointed to the box and said: "All the houses here are land deeds, and they are all five-entry houses, but you all know that good houses are hard to find now, and this house cannot be in one place, and I don't say who is biased to whom, you go and draw which house you want." ”

Wu smiled and pointed at Ji Gang: "Boss, you take it first." ”

Ji Gang didn't shirk anymore, got up and opened the box, and took one without looking at it.

After sitting down, Ji Gang took the title deed to take a look, and Sun also leaned over to take a look, and smiled at it: "Yes, our house is closest to my father's mother, and it is on the side of the small teaching field, which is also a rare and good place by the mountains and rivers." ”

Seeing that Ji Gang was holding a good house, Ji Jiang also took it with a smile, and came back to show the Wang family, and the two of them were happy: "Our house is not far away, next to the Guozijian, but we can get a lot of scholarly atmosphere." ”

Because Ji Yi and Ji Wei were not at home, they could only take it from others, and leave the last one to them, and then Ji Zong, Ji Mian, Ji Wei, and Ji Zhen also took it, and they were quite happy to see it one by one.

Wu put away the last two land deeds and said: "Now the old seven and eight have not yet come out, and naturally there is no money, I and your father will take care of their house first, and then ask them to settle it themselves when they pass the exam next year." ”

The other Ji family immediately said: "It should have been." (To be continued......)
