Chapter 122 The Current Situation

Ask for a commuter pass

****

Ji Xiaomu set up a spirit card for Ji Xiaolian at home privately, and everyone did not blame him, but comforted him with kind words, and Ji Xiaomu was grateful and ashamed.

And Ji Xiaotang had already guessed that Ji Xiaomu would do something similar. Ji Xiaotang proposed that she would burn a stick of incense in front of Ji Xiaolian's token. Ji Xiaomu naturally agreed immediately.

Everyone else stayed in Xuanhua Hall, and Ji Xiaotang, accompanied by Ji Xiaomu and the Yang family, went to the small Buddha hall where Ji Xiaolian placed Ji Xiaolian's token. This small Buddha hall is next to the Xin Garden, which was originally the place where Mrs. Ji Da worshipped the Buddha. Later, the Yang family had an accident and Mrs. Ji died, and this small Buddhist hall was idle.

Now that Master Ji has remarried Zhou Nianhong, Mrs. Ji's traces in Xinhuatang have almost been wiped out, only this small Buddha hall is still intact. No one else in the Ji family will come here, only Ji Xiaomu will come over occasionally.

The inside and outside of the small Buddha hall are very well taken care of, just like when Mrs. Ji is still there.

This is obviously Ji Xiaomu's handiwork.

Entering the small Buddha hall, Ji Xiaotang glanced around. This small Buddha hall is very plain and clean, which is very different from Mrs. Ji's usual style, and the front is dedicated to the Great Compassion Guanyin.

In the small Buddha hall, there are two spirit cards. One is dedicated to Ji Xiaolian, while the other is dedicated to Mrs. Ji.

The fact that Mrs. Ji's spirit card is enshrined in this small Buddha hall is not a secret in Xinhua Hall for a long time.

After all, Mrs. Ji is Ji Xiaomu's biological ~ mother, with Ji Xiaomu's temperament, if he is not allowed to do this. He will comply, but his mind will not be discharged. Moreover, Mrs. Ji Da has died. It will no longer cause harm to Xinhuatang, and the Ji family will acquiesce to Ji Xiaomu's doing.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Xiaolian will be able to accompany her mother from now on, and she will not be lonely. Ji Xiaomu explained to Ji Xiaotang with red eyes.

Standing in front of Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaolian's spirit cards, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh a little.

The world is impermanent, and wealth is like a cloud. However, in life, many times it is involuntary. For example, she is now. Or do something she doesn't like but has to do.

But, no matter what, have a clear conscience. Do not change the original intention.

Ji Xiaotang burned incense in front of Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaolian's spirit cards and remembered it, and then in the company of Ji Xiaomu and the Yang family, he came out of the small Buddha hall~ .

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I've figured it out. Wait for Xiaolian to pass the seventeenth year. So he took her spirit card and burned it with her mother's spirit card. Ji Xiaomu was beside Ji Xiaotang and suddenly spoke.

Ji Xiaotang was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at Ji Xiaomu.

Ji Xiaomu's expression was a little surprised.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Now that the dark tide is surging in the court, although Xinhuatang seems to be out of the way, it is actually already in the whirlpool. If it weren't for the second uncle and Xiaotang, you tried your best to maintain it, and thanks to the care of Prince An, the Ji family of Xinhuatang would have ceased to exist a long time ago. It's me who is selfish and willful. only cares about his own careful thoughts, but forgets the overall situation of Xinhuatang......"

"Big brother, don't say that." Ji Xiaotang heard Ji Xiaomu say this. Busyness stopped him. "I never thought of Big Brother as a selfish and headstrong person. Big brother is just ......"

Ji Xiaomu is just emotional, not ruthless enough, and a little naΓ―ve.

Although he can afford Xinhuatang now, it is under the premise of having a lot of help. After all, Ji Xiaomu can only keep his business in good days, but he is not a talent who starts a business and protects his family in a complex and turbulent environment.

"Big brother is just too affectionate." Ji Xiaotang's tone paused slightly, and then he said slowly.

"I know my own business." Ji Xiaomu sighed slightly, "As the eldest brother, I can't do more for the family and protect the family, I'm already very ashamed." If I continue to be emotional, I don't know when it will bring disaster to the family, I am really in vain! ”

Ji Xiaomu told Ji Xiaotang that he had thought very clearly about this matter and had made up his mind.

Yang also nodded on the side, agreeing with Ji Xiaomu's decision.

"It's the same to miss your loved ones in your heart." Yang's tone was bitterly sad.

There are almost no people in her mother's family, but there is not even a tombstone, and she can't even arrange a spirit card, which doesn't mean that she doesn't miss her relatives.

"It's naturally good that the eldest brother and sister-in-law can think clearly." Ji Xiaotang saw that both of them said this, so he nodded and approved of the matter. "However, big brother doesn't have to be too stubborn."

Ji Xiaotang told Ji Xiaomu that he could find a temple to do a ritual for Ji Xiaolian.

"Just don't publicize it, try to keep a low profile."

After all, Ji Xiaolian's death was too miserable, the Ji family did things too much in private, as long as they didn't do it in front of people's eyes, no matter who it was, they would turn a blind eye and wouldn't bring trouble to Xinhuatang.

This matter was also thought about by Ji Xiaotang before he came to Xinhuatang.

Ji Xiaomu was overjoyed.

"That's a good feeling!" He only dared to set up a spirit card for Ji Xiaolian in the small Buddha hall and burned incense excessively, but he never thought that he could do something for Ji Xiaolian.

A ritual is much better than everything he has arranged now.

"Xiaotang, are you sure that you won't cause trouble for your family?" Despite this, Ji Xiaomu still asked Ji Xiaotang, "Will it bring trouble to King An's Mansion?" ”

At this time, he was thinking a lot.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head secretly.

"Big brother, don't worry, I have also discussed it with the prince, and the prince said that it is okay."

Ji Xiaomu was completely relieved at this time.

"That's good, that's good."

When the three of them returned to Xuanhua Hall, Ji Xiaomu reported the decision just now to Mrs. Ji, Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji, and everyone saw Ji Xiaotang's kind face and knew that it was appropriate to do so, so they all nodded.

At this time, Mrs. Ji Er had already watched the kitchen prepare a table of banquets, and wanted Ji Xiaotang to eat.

Ji Xiaotang did not agree immediately, but sent someone to find Qin Zhen.

Master Ji Er is very satisfied.

"It's time to disperse. It would be better if the prince could come and everyone get together together. ”

Mrs. Ji Er was also very happy. She didn't think that Ji Xiaotang couldn't even decide for herself to stay in Xinhuatang for dinner, but decided that Ji Xiaotang's relationship with Qin Zhen was getting better and better, so she didn't want to eat alone in Xinhuatang, and wanted to call Qin Zhen together.

If a woman can come home often, parents will naturally be happy, and if a daughter and son-in-law can always go in and out together, they will go back to their parents' house together. Isn't that more beautiful?

The person who sent it out soon came back and reported to Ji Xiaotang, saying that Qin Zhen would arrive later.

"I sent the little one back first. so as not to delay and worry the princess. ”

"What, what is the prince stumbling upon?" Ji Xiaotang asked casually.

The face of the person who spoke back was a little strange, and he stopped talking.

Ji Xiaotang was immediately sensitively aware of it.

"What's going on?"

Maybe he knew that he couldn't hide it from Ji Xiaotang. Maybe you know. Their prince refused to hide anything from Ji Xiaotang, and the attendant hesitated for a moment, then told Ji Xiaotang the truth.

Qin Zhen was indeed stumped by some things.

Today, in the court, King An Qin Zhen and King Su Qin Lin had a conflict because of one thing, and the two not only quarreled in the court, but even almost made a move.

The two brothers, King An and King Su, have always been secretly competing, and their faces and hearts are not in harmony. This thing. It's no secret in the court. However, the two brothers are both nobles after all. No matter what happens in my heart, I can always maintain the appearance of a brother and a brother on my face.

But today, the two brothers almost tore their faces.

After listening to the attendant's reply, Ji Xiaotang was nothing, but the second master and second wife Ji who heard it couldn't help but change their faces.

When Ji Xiaotang sent the attendant down, Second Master Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang worriedly.

"Xiaotang, this ......"

"Daddy, don't worry." Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly, "It's not a big deal." ”

Second Master Ji is also a very smart person, seeing that Ji Xiaotang's unhindered appearance was not deliberately made, he faintly understood something in his heart.

"When the prince comes, Daddy will have a good chat with the prince." Ji Xiaotang took Xuan'er from Mrs. Ji's arms and said with a smile.

Second Master Ji also smiled and nodded: "Good, excellent." ”

Obviously, Second Master Ji completely understood.

Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji put their minds at ease, everyone gossiped for a while, and Qin Zhen came. Seeing that Qin Zhen's face was as usual, and there was nothing unusual around him, everyone was even more relieved. Immediately, a banquet was held in Xuanhua Hall, except for Master Ji who was unable to attend due to illness, the whole family was reunited.

After eating the banquet, Qin Zhen also specially asked Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaomu to lead him to visit Master Ji. After that, Second Master Ji asked people to set up a table in the pavilion in Xinyuan, and chatted with Qin Zhen, Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaomu while cooking tea.

Regarding the quarrel between Qin Zhen and Qin Lin in the court, everyone brought it over after a few words. They all know that for a long time to come, similar things will just happen again. But there's nothing to worry about.

Whether it's Qin Zhen or Qin Lin, they have cultivated enough tacit understanding in this regard over the years. Both of them understood what was going on, but on the surface, they just wanted to show it to Empress Dowager Han.

"Even so, you can't be careless." Second Master Ji personally poured Qin Zhen a cup of tea and reminded Qin Zhen in a serious manner.

"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me." Qin Zhen respectfully agreed.

Although it is said that it is for the Empress Dowager Han, the two will not really kill each other in front of the Empress Dowager Han, but this does not mean that there is no conflict of interest between the two. It's hard to say when and in what things will stir up a real fire.

Especially now that things have developed and a lot of things are different.

Second Master Ji understood these things, and Qin Zhen knew even more in his heart.

After talking about the matter with Qin Lin, everyone mentioned Master Ji again.

"The matter of resignation should be sooner rather than later." Qin Zhen said.

Second Master Ji nodded. Regarding this matter, when they went to see Master Ji just now, they had already explained it to Master Ji. Master Ji also nodded.

"I'll draft an excerpt for him in a while, and I'll hand it over tomorrow." Second Master Ji assured Qin Zhen. This resignation is handed over, no matter whether it should be above or not, when it should be, from now on, Master Ji will not go to the yamen and the court.

Moreover, they all believed that once the fold was handed over, it would definitely come down soon.

A few people slowly tasted the tea, and then talked about Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen's entry into the palace yesterday.

Second Master Ji was very concerned about this matter, especially when it came to Xuan'er, he also asked Ji Xiaotang a few questions repeatedly.

"The Queen Mother seems to have given you great grace with such a temptation, but in fact it is not." The people who serve are all standing in the distance, and here are a few people from close relatives, so there is no shying away from Ji Er's words.

It is rare that Second Master Ji is willing to pay attention to this, and Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen naturally listen.

"First of all, your majesty will not be able to have any more heirs eight ~ nine times out of ten." Second Master Ji talked eloquently, "Your Majesty has no heirs, so you have to choose an heir in the clan." And there are only two candidates for this heir, one is the prince of King Su, and the other is our Xuan'er. ”

"No matter what aspect it is, the Queen Mother will not choose the prince of Su." If you don't choose Qin Yu, you can only choose Qin Xuan.

But when Master Ji Er said this, not only was he not happy at all, but he was very worried.

"Sooner or later, the Queen Mother will be eyeing Xuan'er, and the prince and I also know this." Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"Then have you ever thought about what the Queen Mother will do after she sets her eyes on Xuan'er?" Second Master Ji asked.

Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen exchanged glances. They all knew what Second Master Ji was worried about, because they were also worried.

If Xuan'er is elected as the emperor's heir, Empress Dowager Han will definitely take Xuan'er into the palace to raise her in order to control Xuan'er. Xuan'er will be passed on to Emperor Longqing, and will no longer be their son.

Empress Dowager Han still has a trace of luck now, when she can face the reality, with her character, she will not wait for Xuan'er to grow up at all, but will immediately take Xuan'er into the palace.

Ji Xiaotang will lose her son, and Empress Dowager Han will raise Xuan'er as her puppet.

Qin Zhen complied with the Empress Dowager Han's intention to play with Qin Lin, and he also thought of this, not wanting to stimulate Empress Dowager Han to take this move in advance.

Second Master Ji said this today because he was concerned about his daughter and grandson, and asked Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang to take precautions.

However, this is an unsolvable game, unless......

"You can only take one step, look at one step......" Qin Zhen's words could only stop there.

And those unfinished words, several people present also understood in their hearts. The reason why he wanted Master Ji to resign immediately, and the reason why Ji Xiaomu was so ruthless and wanted to burn the spirit cards of Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaolian was not just because Ji Xiaolian had an accident.

The Ji family must keep a low profile, and they must keep their heads in order to protect themselves, and at the same time, they will not become a burden to Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Zhen obeyed the will of the Empress Dowager Han, Master Ji resigned, and the Su Wangfu stood on the cusp alone.
