……

Officials who have always been greedy for ink relief and river defense silver have not ended well. Even if they can make up for the money they are greedy for, the officials involved in the case will inevitably die. In his previous life, Master Ji wrote back to Qingyuan to give Master Ji Er, but he was dying, and he had a trace of luck in his heart. And at that time, even if there was no Third Master Ji who lost his family, even if Second Master Ji could make up the money, he would not be able to save Master Ji at all.

In this life, Ji Xiaotang can't guarantee that Master Ji will not be involved in the ink corruption case, and the only thing she can work hard is to keep Master Ji out of the matter from the beginning.

As long as Master Ji doesn't go south with Qincha, he won't get into trouble.

Ji Xiaotang actually didn't have any impression of Master Ji, but she had to help Master Ji. The three brothers of the Ji family, if Master Ji didn't fall up in his previous life, the people on Qingyuan's side would always have some scruples, and they wouldn't be so unscrupulous to attack the second and third masters of Ji.

And in this life, through her efforts, Qingyuan's side was not only not calculated by others and showed defeat, but was more prosperous than in the previous life. However, once something happens to Master Ji's side, it will inevitably affect Qingyuan.

With Ji Xiaotang's understanding of Second Master Ji, he would not sit idly by and watch Master Ji get involved in the ink corruption case.

"Daddy, the uncle is in the Ministry of Industry, this time the Qin sent south, will the uncle also be sent to follow?" Ji Xiaotang thought for a moment, and then raised his head and said to Second Master Ji.

"Your uncle has performed well in the Ministry of Industry in the past few years, and this time the imperial court is so concerned about disaster relief and river defense, your uncle is very likely to be selected to go south." Second Master Ji nodded.

Master Ji is doing well in the Ministry of Industry. It was only in these two years that he was promoted to the Ministry of Works. It is precisely because Master Ji is capable and known as incorruptible that he will be robbed of love by the above during Mrs. Ji's funeral.

That seizure of affection was the construction of a river defense somewhere in the south. That's why I recruited Master Ji, a capable minister, to come over.

Since Master Ji has such a skill, then this time, there is a chance that he will be assigned by the imperial court to follow Qin Cha south.

"I've often heard my father sigh lately, saying that the government is not clear now. Moreover, this disaster relief and river defense have always involved a lot of gold and silver. This time, 500,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid it won't be clean. Ji Xiaotang said slowly.

"I'm worried about that, too." Second Master Ji nodded.

"If so. The uncle followed south, and it was inevitable that he would be involved in it and cause a catastrophe. ”

"Your uncle has always been incorruptible. It's not like the one who is a wealthy official. Moreover, he also has a backer in the court. Even if something happens to this disaster relief money, it shouldn't be implicated in him. Second Master Ji pondered for a while before he said.

"But. Just in case. "Ji Xiaotang doesn't agree with Ji Er's words." Daddy, I always feel that someone is targeting our Ji family. After all, the uncle is also the Ji family, and it is difficult to guarantee that those people will not make a fuss about the uncle. ”

Ji Xiaotang's words, like thunder, immediately woke up Second Master Ji.

"A word wakes up the dreamer!" Second Master Ji stood up and clapped his hands together, "Thanks to Xiaotang's words." It's me who takes it for granted. In any case, a qiē should be cautious. Be careful. ”

"Why don't you write a letter and persuade your uncle to do whatever he wants. Don't get involved in this errand to the south. Ji Xiaotang said immediately.

Second Master Ji nodded, and then showed some embarrassment on his face.

"It has always been a big crime to kill your head if you don't do such an errand well. But if you do it well, it is the best step to enter the body. Your ...... is probably still looking forward to following him south, so as to make great achievements and go further in his career. ”

Master Ji has someone behind him, as long as he can follow Qin Cha south and make some credit, it will be very easy to go further. The three brothers of the Ji family, if you want to count Master Ji's fame, he has the most important fame, and the situation in his back house is special, so he is not allowed to be careless.

Second Master Ji was worried, and persuaded Master Ji with empty words, afraid that he would not be able to persuade him.

"So, how about in the name of Grandfather's dream?" Ji Xiaotang thought about it and said.

"What do you mean......" Second Master Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang.

"Daddy thinks that the ancestors dreamed, will the uncle listen?"

"That's a little more certain." Second Master Ji pondered.

"That's without further ado." Ji Xiaotang urged.

Going south for disaster relief is an urgent matter, and Master Ji Er received a letter from Master Ji here, and he was afraid that the capital side would soon send a messenger on the road.

"Okay." Of course, Second Master Ji also knew this, so he didn't delay any longer.

Ji Xiaotang grinds ink, Master Ji San lays out paper, and Master Ji Er picks up the pen and writes a letter to Master Ji.

Qingyuan was drought, and the Ji family's ancestral tomb on Qingxi Mountain had a vision, and the second master of the Ji family dreamed of the ancestor of the Ji family, and the ancestor of the Ji family left a sentence for the second master of the Ji family in his dream.

After Ji Er finished writing the letter, he saw that the ink was dry, so he let Ji Xiaotang read it.

"Xiaotang, you see, can you write like this?"

People in Qingyuan say that the Ji family's father and son are three jinshi because the Ji family's ancestral tomb is well chosen. And Master Ji believes this statement more than others. Every time he writes a letter, he will definitely ask Master Ji Er about the ancestral tomb, and ask Master Ji Er to maintain the ancestral tomb well, which can be said to be tireless.

When it comes to the vision of the ancestral tomb, Master Ji will definitely attach great importance to it.

And the ancestors of the Ji family dreamed, and Master Ji also did not dare to ignore it. The ancestors of the Ji family studied the I Ching gossip, and Master Ji not only knew it, but also respected it very much.

In addition to these, Second Master Ji also advised Master Ji that even if he wanted to go further in his career, there would be opportunities in the future, and there was no need to wade into the troubled waters this time.

Seeing Ji Xiaotang nodding, Second Master Ji realized that there was nothing missing in the letter, so he sealed the letter, and then called a close family member to come and asked him to hurry up and send the letter to the capital.

"Be sure to hand it over to the eldest master, get his reply, and you will come back." Second Master Ji instructed carefully.

The family received the order and set off for the capital on the same day.

At the end of May, the reply from Master Ji arrived in Beijing.

It turned out that Master Ji was in the capital when he received a letter from Master Ji Er. The court has already drawn up candidates for this southward disaster relief, and the name of Master Ji is impressively listed.

Someone recommended Master Ji.

The trip south was not idle, and it could be said that it was very hard. However, Master Ji was full of intentions to go. Not only can you show your strengths, but you can also use this to make meritorious contributions and make further progress in your career.

At this time, he received a letter from Master Ji Er. Master Ji said in his reply to Second Master Ji that he was very undecided at that time and went to discuss with his father-in-law. Master Ji's family, including his father-in-law, all approve of Master Ji's southward journey this time.

But. The two things that Master Ji said in his letter are really the things that Master Ji cares about the most.

In the end, Master Ji didn't sleep for a few nights. After pondering repeatedly, I still decided to listen to Master Ji. For this matter, Master Ji not only annoyed his father-in-law, but even the back house also complained a little.

Master Ji did not follow him to the south for disaster relief. Naturally, you can't just say it. Rather, it is on the grounds of illness. Master Ji also told Second Master Ji that when he wrote this letter to Second Master Ji, the southbound Qincha team had already set off from the capital, and there seemed to be some confusion between his words.

Ji Er read the letter and handed it to Ji Xiaotang to read.

Ji Xiaotang finished reading the letter, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. No matter how melancholy Master Ji is, as long as he doesn't follow him south, he won't be able to suffer disaster. And all will be fine.

"I'm afraid your uncle will blame me for blocking his future in the future." Second Master Ji said slowly.

"No, it won't." Ji Xiaotang put the letter back on the table, "Uncle is a little indecisive. But the big things are still clear. In the future, he will only be grateful to his father. ”

"I don't ask him to be grateful, I just want the family to be safe." Ji Er said.

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

In the evening, when the family gathered in Mrs. Ji's house to talk, Second Master Ji told him about the letter from Mrs. Ji. He didn't tell Mrs. Ji anything about disaster relief and Qin Mission, but only told Mrs. Ji that Mr. Ji's family was safe, and asked Mrs. Ji for peace in the letter.

"Oh, I see." Mrs. Ji said lightly, and then changed the topic, "Xiaoyun has also been gone for more than half a month, I don't know how she is doing in Huaiyuan?" This kid didn't write a letter back. ”

Mrs. Ji is really worried about Ji Xiaoyun.

"Maybe it's because I'm thinking it won't be long before I'm back." Mrs. Ji's words were mainly to appease Mrs. Ji.

"Relax, old lady. The old lady thought about it, according to the old lady's intentions, as soon as Xiaoyun got married, she was going to Huaiyuan. Master Ji San said.

Mrs. Ji didn't react to Mrs. Ji's words, but when she heard Mr. Ji's words, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"If that had happened, I wouldn't have thought about it much." Old Lady Ji said a little angrily.

Master Ji San smiled and said nothing.

"She's young, and it's new for her first time when she goes out of the house, and she may not think of it for a while. She doesn't write to her, so let's write to her. Mrs. Ji paused for a while, then said again, "Just use my tone to ask her how she is and when she will come back." I don't need you either, as long as Xiaotang helps me write this letter. ”

As Mrs. Ji spoke, she looked at Ji Xiaotang with great kindness.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't refuse.

Before Mrs. Ji's letter was delivered, Ji Xiaoyun's letter arrived. When Mrs. Ji saw Ji Xiaoyun's letter, she was immediately overjoyed, and immediately asked Ji Xiaotang to open it and read it to her.

Ji Xiaoyun's letter is very long, and what is revealed between the lines is happiness and joy. Ji Xiaoyun told Mrs. Ji and others in the letter that she had a very good life in Huaiyuan. The Qin family is the best family she has ever seen, especially Grandma Qin and Grandma Qin, that is, her two cousins-in-law treat her extremely well.

Ji Xiaoyun has never seen such a virtuous and temperamental person, she and Grandma Qin and Grandma Qin are like acquaintances at first sight, and now they get along like sisters-in-law.

According to Ji Xiaoyun's original words, she experienced the brotherhood from Grandma Qin and Grandma Qin, and said that a sibling would not necessarily be like this.

When Ji Xiaotang read this, he couldn't help but pause.

When Ji Xiaoyun said this, she obviously compared her with Grandma Qin and Grandma Qin, and felt that Ji Xiaotang, her sister, was far inferior to her two sisters-in-law.

"It's good to be good, it's good." Mrs. Ji didn't seem to hear it, she just nodded with a smile.

After Ji Xiaoyun finished talking about the people of the Qin family, she talked about the Qin family's food and clothing, saying that it was very much in line with her heart, and what she said finally saw the grandeur of the wealthy family.

Obviously, the Qin family's life is very luxurious.

At the end of the letter, Ji Xiaoyun also mentioned Mama Cheng. said that Mama Cheng was not accustomed to water and soil, and she fell ill within a few days of arriving in Huaiyuan, and she couldn't take care of things, so she could only stay in bed to recuperate. Ji Xiaoyun originally planned to send someone to send Mama Cheng back, but Mama Cheng said that she was entrusted by the second master and Mrs. Ji and refused to return.

Ji Xiaoyun's meaning was to let the Ji family send someone to bring Mama Cheng back.

Hearing Ji Xiaotang finish reading the letter, Mrs. Ji smiled, and her worries about Ji Xiaoyun disappeared.

“…… It's still kissing and being a parent, and it's really reassuring to know people like this. Mrs. Ji said with a smile, this is also for her own credit, after all, she is the one who decided the marriage for Ji Xiaoyun.

Saying this, Mrs. Ji still counted the second master and Mrs. Ji on the side.

"You are also too careful, that is, you are suspicious of others, and you should never be suspicious of Boyang. Now you look at it, if it's all up to you, how can Xiaoyun be so happy? I'm afraid that now, their little couple are out of their hearts! ”

Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji both laughed, only listening to Mrs. Ji's words, and did not respond.

"Mama Cheng is sick, and she can't help much, so it's better to send someone to pick her up according to what Xiaoyun said in the letter. It's good to raise some at home. Mrs. Ji remembered the last words in Ji Xiaoyun's letter, so she said again.

After Ji Xiaoyun got married, every time she came back, she talked to Mrs. Ji about Mama Cheng in private, and she said that Mama Cheng was too lenient and strict. Because of Mama Cheng, she can't do anything by herself, and she is still very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Ji said such things at this time, mainly for Ji Xiaoyun, she probably wanted to make Ji Xiaoyun feel more comfortable in Huaiyuan.

"Since I'm sick, it seems that it's not light, so it's naturally better not to move. Mama is there, even if she can't help her sister, by the way, her sister doesn't need Mama to help her now. Where Mama is, it will never get in the way of my sister's affairs. Ji Xiaotang said.

"That's the truth, let's let Mama Cheng recover from her illness and come back." Ji Er said.

Mrs. Ji thought about Ji Xiaoyun and said that Mama Cheng didn't care about everything now, so she didn't insist anymore.

When I returned to Mrs. Ji's house, there was already a person from Huaiyuan waiting there to deliver the letter, and Mama Cheng's letter was presented. Unlike Ji Xiaoyun's happiness and joy, Mama Cheng's letter was full of worry.

However, in just half a month's work, most of Ji Xiaoyun's silver has been spent. (To be continued......)
