After the mother and son cried for a while, their emotions eased down slightly, and the second master Ji, the eldest master Ji and the others hurriedly turned around the shadow wall.

"The third child has a relationship with martial arts, he runs so fast that we can't catch up with him." Master Ji gasped, because he had walked a long way, and he was sweating on his forehead.

The situation of the second master Ji is better than that of the second master Ji, although he is a scholar, he has a regular diet and daily life, and pays great attention to health.

Here Ji Xiaotang and others persuaded Mrs. Ji to stop crying, and Mr. Ji San let go of the hand holding his mother's big ~ legs, knelt on the bluestone ground, and kowtowed to Mrs. Ji three times.

The three people who knocked their heads were speechless, and Mrs. Ji was distressed.

"It's all adults, why are they still so light and heavy." Mrs. Ji asked Master Ji San to get up, and looked at his forehead carefully, there was nothing unusual, so she relaxed slightly.

"Mother, my son is not by your side all the year round, and he can't give you filial piety, what is it to kowtow to these heads!" Master Ji San smiled.

Master Ji San then gave Mrs. Ji a salute to Mrs. Ji, and then hugged Ji Xiaotang, who was smiling on the side.

Master Ji San hugged Ji Xiaotang, or the way he hugged a child. He hugged Ji Xiaotang's waist and lifted Ji Xiaotang up.

"Xiaotang has grown taller again, but it seems to be lighter." Master Ji San said this, as if he wanted to weigh whether Ji Xiaotang was really as he felt, and his weight had become lighter.

If Ji Xiaotang was a child now, it is estimated that Master Ji San would throw her up.

The people next to him stopped Master Ji San one after another.

"It's still like this, it's not light."

"Xiaotang is getting married, she is a big girl. It's not a little girl anymore. ”

"How can the third child be like this, although he is an uncle and nephew, he really can't be an individual......"

Whatever the crowd says. Master Ji San hugged Ji Xiaotang, laughed haha, and refused to let go for a long time.

It was Ji Xiaotang who punched Ji San twice on the shoulder and called out to uncle, and Ji San put her down.

The uncle and nephew did not officially greet each other.

"Uncle, it's not that I've become lighter, it's that you're more powerful." Ji Xiaotang looked at Master Ji San carefully with his eyes and said.

She could see it. Master Ji San's shoulders and back became thicker, and when Master Ji San lifted her just now, she also felt that Master Ji San's arms were also thicker ~ stronger than before.

"Is that so?!" Master Ji San laughed again.

"Uncle......" someone screamed in a milky voice.

Master Ji San lowered his head. And he saw eternal life.

Changsheng originally followed behind Ji Xiaotang, but he was already shocked by Master Ji San's behavior, and he was stunned. He is still young, and he has almost no impression of Master Ji San. But I can't stand it, and my family often mentions Master Ji San. Especially Ji Xiaotang.

Because of this, Changsheng was not only full of curiosity about Master Ji San, but also full of love and admiration. Moreover, he is not a child who can recognize birth, seeing that Master Ji San let Ji Xiaotang down, he ran forward and called uncle.

"Immortality!" Master Ji San immediately recognized Changsheng.

Changsheng nodded and called Uncle again.

Master Ji San bent down. hugged Changsheng up.

"Does Changsheng remember Uncle?"

"Yes." Changsheng nodded again and again, "I remember Uncle." Sister often tells me about my uncle. There are also grandmothers, fathers, and mothers, who often talk about uncles. ”

Changsheng said this, and stretched out his chubby little hand to touch Master Ji San's face.

Master Ji San's cheeks have short stubble, which is not common for Xiao Changsheng. People such as Master Ji and others are beautiful to have a ~ long beard, and people such as Master Ji Er often groomed and shaved their faces clean.

Therefore, Master Ji San's stubble is a very rare thing in Changsheng.

"Good Changsheng, Uncle often thinks of you outside. Grow taller and heavier. Master Ji San checked Changsheng, very satisfied with Changsheng's sturdy appearance, and then, in the different eyes of everyone, put Changsheng on his shoulder.

Changsheng is usually either held or carried, and this is the first time he has had such an experience. His eyes widened, and he didn't feel afraid, only novelty.

Uncle's shoulders are very broad, not soft, but they feel very safe.

Changsheng sat on the shoulders of the third master of Ji, and the whole vision was different, the second master of Ji and the second wife of Ji wanted him to come down, but he refused.

Master Ji San carried Changsheng like this, and Ji Xiaotang supported Mrs. Ji alone, and everyone came to Xuanhua Hall.

When they arrived at Xuanhua Hall, they let Mrs. Ji sit on it, and everyone officially greeted each other again.

The Ji family's family finally gathered in the capital today.

Naturally, you have a lot to say. Master Ji San didn't have time to talk about his experience of going to sea, so he only asked Ji Xiaotang what was going on with his family. Since the Ji family entered Beijing, he went to sea after that, during this period, too many things have happened, and Master Ji San wants to know, especially Ji Xiaotang's relatives.

"How did you decide whether it was Prince An or the marriage that the Queen Mother pointed out?" Master Ji San looked at Ji Xiaotang with some anxiety.

The relationship between Ji Xiaotang and Ayou is known to Master Ji San. According to the meaning of Master Ji San, Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian are also the most suitable. Although Qin Zhen's status is valuable, and his character and appearance are all first-class, Master Ji San never thought that he would become his niece and son-in-law.

Xuanhuatang has a lot of people, and Master Ji San roughly explained the matter, and many things were omitted. Of course, Master Ji San was dissatisfied with such an answer, but he wisely did not ask on the spot.

Master Ji San pressed the anxiety in his heart, and happily told everyone about his trip to sea.

"Xiaotang, tell you something, you know, you will definitely be very happy." Master Ji San said to Ji Xiaotang.

Master Ji was a little unhappy next to him. Master Ji San spoke, in addition to facing Mrs. Ji, the most was actually to Ji Xiaotang. Something about going to sea. always carried Ji Xiaotang, and didn't put him in his eyes at all.

Master Ji turned his head slightly and glanced at Second Master Ji.

Second Master Ji smiled. There was no sense of displeasure at all, as if this was the most natural thing to do.

Master Ji snorted secretly, and he had to suppress the displeasure in his heart.

Ji Xiaotang was already asking Master Ji San, "Uncle, what's the matter, tell me quickly, don't sell Guanzi anymore." ”

"Xiaotang. Didn't you want me to look for cold-tolerant and high-yielding grains......"

Master Ji San went to sea, not only bought a lot of grain and came back, but also had Ji Xiaotang's instructions. Look for good varieties of grains. This matter was later known to Qin Zhen.

This kind of thing is not the business of the Ji family, if it can be successful. It can even change a country. Of course, Qin Zhen would not ignore it. He sought an official for Master Ji San, and also funded the fleet, in order to find good varieties of grain.

The last time Master Ji San went to sea, he had already found two kinds of grain, but the quantity was scarce, and he could not promote planting in a large area, so he only tried to sow seeds on Qin Zhen's grange.

As a result, these two kinds of grain are really like the legend. It is hardy and hardy, and there are no special requirements for the land. And the yield is also quite good.

Among them, sweet potatoes are the best.

Sweet potatoes ripen for a shorter period than ordinary crops, and in the south, they are planted at this time and harvested before winter.

Master Ji San brought back more buds and sweet potato varieties this time.

In addition, Master Ji San also brought back another kind of grain.

“…… I translated their words and called this thing a potato. Master Ji San asked people to bring a small basket of potatoes and show it to Ji Xiaotang and everyone present, and told everyone how he got this kind of grain and the various benefits of potatoes.

The biggest advantage of potatoes is that they are not picky and have high yields, and they can be staggered from the production cycle of crops.

"You can make both food and vegetables." Master Ji San not only brought back potatoes, but also brought back people who were good at growing potatoes.

Ji Xiaotang carefully observed the grain in her hand, and asked Ji San a lot of questions, and Ji San's answer made her eyes brighter and brighter.

With these three kinds of grains, the problem of famine can be greatly alleviated even if the drought continues.

"The prince of Fang Cai'an sent a message, saying that it is late today, let me go home first to reunite, and tomorrow I will go with him to face the saint, send the food I brought back, and then report the details of this trip to the sea to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty." Master Ji San finally said again.

If you want to talk about the things that should go to sea, you can't finish talking about it for a few days and nights, but at this moment, Master Ji San doesn't plan to continue.

Master Ji didn't see Master Ji San's thoughts, he naturally understood the meaning of the grain that Master Ji San brought back, and his eyes were a little bright.

"This is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, the third child must be a great achievement in facing the saint this time, I don't know what reward I will get. Even our Xinhuatang is also honored. ”

This kind of merit will not only reward Master Ji San himself, but also his family.

Thinking of his own situation, Master Ji didn't feel a little moved.

Master Ji San didn't seem to have much interest in rewarding, he casually perfunctory a few words from Master Ji, and then turned his eyes to Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, Uncle has something to ask you." Master Ji San said to Ji Xiaotang.

Master Ji San is in a hurry, this is still the calm he has experienced outside, and he can wait until now. Ji Xiaotang also has a lot to say to Master Ji San.

"Okay." Ji Xiaotang responded.

"As far as your uncle and nephew are concerned, from childhood to adulthood, I don't know how to have so many considerate words. Go, go, remember to come back for dinner. Mrs. Ji spoke.

Mrs. Ji spoke, and no one else had any objections, so they went their separate ways.

Second Master Ji, Ji Xiaotang and Third Master Ji went to Jinghuatang's study, and as soon as they sat down, Master Ji San couldn't wait to repeat the old words, what he asked was naturally Ji Xiaotang's marriage.

"Uncle, a lot of things happened after you left......

Ji Xiaotang started with the downfall of Yang Gelao, then King An and King Su's courtship, and then talked about the eldest princess Qin Min, who was rejected by the Empress Dowager Han......

Master Ji San listened attentively, and in the end, he couldn't help but blush his cheeks.

"How dare she be, old pious woman!"

"Third brother, be cautious. Be cautious. Second Master Ji hurriedly pressed Third Master Ji's shoulder.

"But...... Isn't Xiaotang too aggrieved. Second brother, now that I'm back, we have to do something. "Master Ji San feels sorry for Ji Xiaotang. wants Ji Xiaotang to be with his beloved. For this, let him do whatever he wants.

"Xiaotang, as long as you tell me what to do, there is ...... in the water and fire, we can't stay in Daqin, let's go overseas and establish ourselves as kings!" Master Ji San said very generously.

Ji Xiaotang laughed at what Master Ji San said.

"Uncle, you don't need to do anything. I am willing to marry Qin Zhen. Ji Xiaotang told Master Ji San.

Master Ji San was a little stunned.

"Xiaotang, I know what you think. You don't have to grieve yourself for the sake of your family. Let's ...... this matter" Ji San meant. is to think of a way for Ji Xiaotang again.

"The good seeds of the grain are in my hands, and the people who can grow the grain are also in my hands, and this time I came back from overseas, and I also brought back a lot of rare treasures. Take these to Xiaotang for a wishful husband. There is always a way to change it...... "Master Ji San is already making plans quickly, "King An, I'll go and discuss with him, let him give up Xiaotang and fulfill Xiaotang and Ayou's ......"

Qin Zhen will always focus on the overall situation, this is what Master Ji San thinks.

"No, uncle, don't do it." For the thoughts of Master Ji San. Ji Xiaotang is not unmoved, but this kind of idea has almost no chance of success.

If you do it another way. Perhaps, but at this time, it will not work.

"Uncle, I have already decided to marry Qin Zhen." Ji Xiaotang told Master Ji San again.

Master Ji San feels too sorry for himself, if he doesn't tell the truth, he will never give up, if one is not good, he may cause some trouble. Ji Xiaotang hesitated slightly, and then told all his thoughts to Master Ji San.

Master Ji San listened, and his expression became more and more solemn.

After listening to Ji Xiaotang's plan, it took a while for the third master Ji to say: "Xiaotang, it's just that I wronged you too much." ”

"Not aggrieved." Ji Xiaotang said very simply, "This road is the best way." ”

"Yes for everyone." Master Ji San said sullenly.

"Uncle, I've made up my mind. If you love me, don't do anything superfluous, don't ruin my plans. Ji Xiaotang looked at Master Ji San.

Master Ji San gritted his teeth, and finally nodded: "Okay!" ”

Seeing Master Ji San nodding, Ji Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, don't be so bitter and hateful, marrying Qin Zhen is actually not bad."

"Xiaotang ......" Master Ji San hurriedly changed his smiling face. He understands Ji Xiaotang, and he can't let Ji Xiaotang bother extra in order to comfort himself.

"Anyway, this matter is settled. When my uncle came back, didn't he marry me on purpose? Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San with a smile.

"Originally, it was for your birthday, but now you have to celebrate your birthday, and you have to give it to you as a wedding. Second brother, I want to marry Xiaotang, and no one can rob me. Master Ji San turned his head again, and deliberately said to Ji Second Master with a tiger face.

"Okay, no one is going to rob you." Ji Er smiled.

"I've brought back a lot of good stuff for everyone!" After laughing for a while, Master Ji San's mood also brightened up again.

Master Ji San brought back the brigade and brought back a lot of things, some of which had already been taken by Qin Zhen's subordinates to the pavilion for placement, and some of them were brought back to Xinhua Hall by Master Ji San.

The upper room of Xuanhuatang was almost filled with the cage brought back by Master Ji San, and on the kang where Mrs. Ji was sitting, there were also a lot of brocade boxes and exquisite mahogany boxes.

There are too many things, even Master Ji San himself, he can't just rely on memory, he smiled and took out a thick stack of gift slips from his sleeve and began to distribute gifts.

Goryeo's ginseng, pearls, corals, and all kinds of precious stones from the South China Sea, cotton cloth and brocade from Tianzhu and Siam, and all kinds of clever gadgets, gems, and jewels imported from the West from more afar, almost dazzle people's eyes when the cage is opened.

Not to mention the rest, Xiao Changsheng was almost overwhelmed by the gift box.

And Ji Xiaotang got the most generous gift, because in addition to the ordinary gifts, she also had an extra birthday gift.

Even so, Master Ji San was not satisfied.

“…… didn't know in advance that Xiaotang was going to get married, so he didn't help Xiaotang buy a dowry. In addition to these gifts, I also brought back a lot of things there, I will pick out the good ones for Xiaotang, Xiaotang, you and I will pick ...... by yourself."

Saying this, Master Ji San also asked Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji how much dowry Ji Xiaotang had prepared.

"If it's less, I won't follow. In addition, I want to add makeup to Xiaotang......"

"I said that the third brother will definitely tell me this when he comes back. …… Third brother, don't worry, don't dare to treat Xiaotang badly, wait for you to rest, Xiaotang's dowry is waiting for you to look at it, and wait for you to nod. Second Master Ji said with a smile.

Master Ji San also smiled.

Subsequently, Master Ji San brought a few people who came to Xinhuatang with him to meet everyone, among which Ji Xiaotang was most familiar with Wan Jiashu.

Although Mrs. Ji wanted to keep Master Ji San to live in Xuanhua Hall, Mrs. Ji Er still arranged another yard for Master Ji San, and now that courtyard is placed, Wan Jiashu and others are placed.

After that, it was the entourage who followed Master Ji San to the sea to come up to salute.

These people, in the eyes of the Ji family, are all heroes who protect and serve Master Jisan, and they are naturally treated differently from ordinary subordinates.

This was lively until the time of the palm lamp, Xuanhuatang held a feast, and it was not until the second watch that it dispersed.

The next day, Master Ji San got up early, changed into a four-grade court dress, and came to Xuanhuatang to salute Mrs. Ji, and wanted to enter the palace to see Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing.

As soon as Master Ji San entered the main room of Xuanhua Hall, he saw Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang was also dressed in court clothes, dressed in a radiant manner, looking at him and smiling.

"Xiaotang, you are ......"

"I'll go into the palace with my uncle." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile. (To be continued......)
