Chapter 82: Family Affection
Marrying Ji Xiaoyun to an unsuccessful man, and marrying to a remote place, can certainly make Ji Xiaoyun and the people of the Ji family miserable, but there are also many variables.
The Ji family has a rich background, and loves ~ their daughter, and is willing to prepare a rich dowry for their daughter. Ji Xiaotang is Princess An, and she is in harmony with Wang An. The eldest son's family is likely to deliberately treat Jin Yin and Qin Zhen's power well, and even curry favor with Ji Xiaoyun.
If this is the case, even if a man is not successful, Ji Xiaoyun can still live well, and she will not be able to achieve her goal of revenge on the Ji family.
Compared to this, Shunyi Bo is a better candidate.
Although Shunyi Bo has the title of earl, it is just a fictitious title, and he usually has to look at the faces of the people who serve in the earl's palace Moreover, Shunyi Bo is not a man at all, but a disabled person with an empty adult appearance and an intelligence of only a few years old.
Marrying Ji Xiaoyun to Uncle Shunyi, Ji Xiaoyun's life is doomed, and this marriage can also humiliate the Ji family and make the Ji family heartbroken.
At the same time, arranging such a marriage can also win her a good treatment of Shunyi Uncle and the reputation of the Ji family, and at the same time, it can also make the Ji family like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis, and there is no bitterness to say.
Feng Changshuo also told her that if Ji Xiaoyun was given to marry and go to a remote place, Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang would definitely not agree, and if they thought of obstructing it, there would be a lot of variables in the matter. But if Ji Xiaoyun is given to Shunyi Bo in marriage, Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang have no reason to object, and they don't have to worry about Shunyi Bo's side refusing this family business because he is afraid of Qin Zhen.
Empress Dowager Han felt that what Feng Changshuo said was very right, and immediately made a decision. And the next day he issued a decree.
The Ji family has a close relationship with Shunyibo, and Ji Xiaoyun often visits Shunyibo's mansion to visit Shunyibo, and Empress Dowager Han has known about it for a long time. She just spoke to Ji Xiaotang. also vaguely hinted that Ji Xiaoyun had already been innocent with Uncle Shunyi by doing this, and that her marriage was actually wiping the farts of Ji Xiaoyun and the Ji family~ shares.
Of course, if Ji Xiaotang thinks that she is revealing her scars, mocking and ridiculing the Ji family, then she can't help it.
Beiban asked Changning to make peace. How did she endure the heartache and make a decision, and personally gave Changning to the barbarians, on the surface, she had to say that it was righteousness. It was Changning who took care of the overall situation, and for the peace of Daqin, she willingly went to make peace, and it was also her who took care of the overall situation. For the sake of the rivers and mountains of Great Qin and the people of Great Qin. abandoned her most beloved daughter.
Now, the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang's mood should be similar to her at that time.
On the surface, they still have to be grateful to themselves for setting this family business for Ji Xiaoyun, and they don't know how heartache it will be behind their backs. The Ji family has an intellectually disabled uncle, which is also quite a humiliating thing.
In addition, there is one particularly interesting thing.
Because of this family affair, Qin Zhen and Shunyibo also have a relationship with each other. is the uncle of the Ji family with people like Shunyibo, I don't know what kind of mood Qin Zhen is in.
Changning and pro. But no one can save and stop because of this. Empress Dowager Han hated almost everyone.
Empress Dowager Han sat there, and the more she thought about it, the more proud she became.
And Ji Xiaotang, who left Cining Palace and returned to King An's Mansion, was also laughing.
"The Queen Mother specially called me, it is not enough to give my sister to Shunyi Bo, she also wants to imply that my sister and Shunyi Bo have a private relationship, not only to see me sad, but also to see that I have no face......" Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen about entering the palace to see the Empress Dowager Han.
Empress Dowager Han thought she had a plan, but she didn't know that this family affair was in Ji Xiaoyun's arms. Empress Dowager Han didn't know that Ji Xiaotang was very much in favor of this family affair in her heart.
"My father-in-law's two beloved paintings were not given away in vain." Qin Zhen smiled and nodded.
Empress Dowager Han didn't know that the Ji family and Feng Changshuo had already secretly had a relationship. Speaking of this matter, it was Princess Changning who sent Feng Changshuo to the door of Xinhuatang.
Changning went out of the palace without permission that time, and found the door of Xinhuatang to see Ji Xiaotang, and it was Feng Changshuo who accompanied Changning.
Feng Changshuo, although he is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, is actually not obvious, and his reputation and popularity in Beijing are very average. Xinhuatang is a scholarly family, and the second master Ji is such a temperamental person, he would not have any intersection with Feng Changshuo no matter what, let alone have a deep friendship.
But Ji Xiaotang was sensitive to Feng Changshuo's unusualness, so he instructed Second Master Ji that day to make friends with Feng Changshuo as much as possible.
Coincidentally, Feng Changshuo also knows that he is criticized, especially by scholars, and always wants to be vassal, Ji Er is so polite to him, and he is very generous, of course he will not refuse Ji Er's overtures.
After that, although Feng Changshuo never entered the door of Xinhuatang again, but when it came to the New Year's Day, he would definitely receive a generous gift from Xinhuatang.
When one day, the second master of Ji came to him with another generous courtesy, and although the things he asked for were difficult for others, they were very simple in him, he readily agreed, and proposed to the second master of Ji that he did not want gold and silver.
The antiques, calligraphy and paintings treasured by Feng Changshuo and the second master can not only be used to decorate the faΓ§ade, but also be given to the Empress Dowager Han to please him.
Empress Dowager Han likes these things very much.
Ji Er did not take back the gold and silver, but quickly sent him the treasured ancient paintings. Of course, he also kept his word, and quickly got things done for Ji Er.
The friendship between Xinhuatang and Feng Changshuo became deeper and deeper.
This time it was related to Empress Dowager Han's revenge and Ji Xiaoyun's family affairs, and Ji Xiaotang was the first to think of Feng Changshuo.
And the result of the incident also proves that Ji Xiaotang is right to look at people, and Feng Changshuo has done things very satisfactorily.
Feng Changshuo is a man who can influence the Empress Dowager Han.
This matter, Empress Dowager Han thought it was secret, but in fact it had become an unspeakable secret. It's just that I can't say it, it's not that it's unknown.
"There is only one thing that is not very satisfactory," Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen with a smile again, "It was originally a happy thing, but the big guys still had to keep a straight face and didn't dare to show joy." That is, my sister doesn't come out to meet people, otherwise she will definitely be exposed. β
Ji Xiaotang said that he was unsatisfactory, but his tone was not like that at all.
Qin Zhen also laughed.
Of course, people can't show joy. If the Empress Dowager Han knew about it, they were actually very willing to do this family business, then the Empress Dowager Han would definitely continue to retaliate. Right now. Let the Empress Dowager Han think that she has a plan, so as not to regenerate the wind ~ waves.
Empress Dowager Han is very busy, and there are many people she wants to take revenge on besides the Ji family.
In the past two days, Han Kerang was suddenly accused of a trumped-up crime, according to the law of Daqin, he was to be dismissed from office and confiscated his family property, but because everyone had already taken precautions. And Qin Zhen secretly arranged, and in the end, he only punished Han Kerang for thinking about it behind closed doors at home.
This punishment can be said to be painless for Han Kerang, and he returned to the capital anyway. He was useless, and happened to read poetry and books at home, and spent a few days idle.
Han Kerang is all too familiar with such days, so many years ago. is still burdened with great grievances, and he has survived. The current situation for him is only as if the court let him take a vacation.
Qin Zhen had already assured Han Kerang that he would soon be reinstated.
Han Kerang came to prominence in the peace talks with the Northern Barbarians, and Qin Zhen was determined to take him under his command, and Han Kerang had already expressed his allegiance to Qin Zhen.
The reason why he made such a decision so quickly was related to Qin Zhen's presiding over clearing his grievances, and there was also the relationship between Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang.
Such a competent assistant. Of course, Qin Zhen wouldn't let him sit idle for too long.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for Ji Xiaoyun's marriage.
The imperial court specially sent officials from the Ministry of Rites. The wedding of Shunyi Boqi Huaijin and Ji Xiaoyun was very grand, and the Ji family married Ji Xiaoyun with red makeup and hair, which also made the reputation of the Ji family rich and valued their daughter more and more prominent.
Ji Xiaoyun returned to the door after three dynasties, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen pushed the rest of the things, and deliberately rushed to Xinhuatang early on this day, which was requested by the second master and the second wife of Ji before, and they hoped that a large family of people could take advantage of this opportunity to get together well.
Moreover, the Ji family has no relatives in the capital, and Ji Xiaoyun only has Ji Xiaotang, the sister of a close relative, and in the future, King An's Mansion and Shunyi Bofu will definitely have more intimate contacts.
Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji want Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang to come back, which also means to make the two families closer and let Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang pay more attention to Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaoyun in the future.
"You sisters, take care of one another. It's just Xiaoyun's temperament, as well as Huai Jin's state...... Xiaotang, although you are a younger sister, you will always take care of your sister and brother-in-law more in the future. Before Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin arrived, Second Master Ji earnestly instructed Ji Xiaotang.
Mrs. Ji Er also echoed the words of Master Ji Er.
ββ¦β¦ We can take care of them day by day, but we are ...... in age, you are close in age, and with you to take care of them, your father and I can rest assured in the future. β
Parents plan for their children, and their plans are far-reaching. In families with many children, parents will inevitably be somewhat "partial", they will put more effort and more love into their children who they think are weaker, and at the same time will ask other children to take care of their siblings in the same way.
Parents are not unloving other children when they do this. Just like now Master Ji and Mrs. Ji Er told Ji Xiaotang, in their hearts, they actually love Ji Xiaotang more, and they are more intimate with Ji Xiaotang.
"Daddy, mother~ dear, you can rest assured. Even if you don't say it, I'll take care of them. Ji Xiaotang knew that this was actually a very heavy responsibility, but she still accepted it happily.
"That's good, that's good." Second Master Ji nodded again and again.
"I knew it." Mrs. Ji Er had long expected that Ji Xiaotang would agree. "Xiaotang, this child, has been the most intimate since he was a child. It's also a worrying child, or is it ...... Worried about ......"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Ji felt a little sorry for Ji Xiaotang.
As he was talking, he heard footsteps in the courtyard, and then the sound of Changsheng's giggling came in.
"Your uncle went to play with immortality again." Second Master Ji explained to Ji Xiaotang.
As soon as the words fell, Master Ji San came in with the curtain of the door, and when he entered the door, he was still short, so as not to knock on the door frame of Changsheng, who was sitting on his shoulder.
Changsheng Xiao~ his face was flushed, his big eyes flickered, he was obviously very happy, and after seeing Ji Xiaotang, he became more and more happy.
"Sister." Changsheng shouted, and the little short legs moved on the shoulders of Master Ji San, signaling to go down.
Master Ji San laughed. While holding Changsheng's fart~ strand with his hand, he gently placed Changsheng on the ground. Changsheng barely stood firm, and pounced on Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang saw that he was in a hurry. Afraid that he would fall, he hurriedly got up and stretched out his hand to welcome Changsheng.
"Slow down, slow down......" Mrs. Ji couldn't help but say again and again.
Changsheng had already thrown himself into Ji Xiaotang's arms at this time, calling Sister Ah repeatedly.
Ji Xiaotang kissed Changsheng lightly on the forehead.
"Good Changsheng, what are you playing with Uncle again?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
Changsheng opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, so he glanced in the direction of Master Ji San. Master Ji San bared his teeth and smiled at Changsheng. Changsheng turned his back. The two little hands were clasped together.
"Me, me and Uncle ......"
Ji Xiaotang remembered his experience when he was a child, and knew that Changsheng had an agreement with Master Ji San, and he couldn't tell them about it.
Although Changsheng is close to himself. But like himself back then, he attaches great importance to the promises he makes, on the one hand, he refuses to break his agreement with his uncle, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to lie to people close to him.
Ji Xiaotang laughed.
"If you don't say it, I know. Uncle must have taken you to climb the tree! β
"How does Sister know?" Changsheng exclaimed in surprise almost immediately.
Master Ji San deliberately raised his hand to support his forehead. A long sigh.
Changsheng was still young after all, and he was cheated out by Ji Xiaotang with a simple trick.
Changsheng was already smart enough to realize something, so he raised his two small hands and covered his mouth tightly.
Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not a fraud, uncle, look, you haven't cleaned up the bark shavings on Changsheng's clothes." Ji Xiaotang said.
Master Ji San showed a look that was like this. Changsheng also lowered his little hand, revealing a relieved expression. Sister Ah guessed it. It's not that he betrayed his uncle.
At this time, Master Ji San had already greeted Qin Zhen, and Ji Xiaotang also let go of Changsheng and let Changsheng see Qin Zhen. After that, everyone re-seated and began to talk again.
Master Ji San looked at Ji Xiaotang and Changsheng, and he was a little emotional.
"Time flies, as if it was yesterday, Xiaotang is just a little bit older than Changsheng. Changsheng is as obedient as Xiaotang......"
"It's the same as Xiaotang, I'm willing to mess around with you." Second Master Ji unceremoniously interrupted Third Master Ji's feelings for the past.
Master Ji San was not angry, but laughed happily again.
"I wanted a little doll to play with, and I was crazy, so I quickly married my daughter-in-law, and if I wanted a few, I gave birth to a few." Second Master Ji said to Third Master Ji.
"Second brother, there are juniors here......" was mentioned about getting married again, and Master Ji was a little embarrassed, reminding Second Master Ji to save some face for him in front of the juniors.
"If only you remembered that you were an elder. If you continue like this, Xiaotang and Xiaoyun's babies will be bigger than yours, what can you call them then! "Second Master Ji insisted on beating Third Master Ji.
Second Master Ji said repeatedly, Third Master Ji was very thick-skinned, but he was not embarrassed.
"Second brother, no matter how old my baby is, it is also their elder, this is something that can't be done."
Master Ji San is so laipi, Ji Second Master choked a little, and there is nothing he can do about it.
Qin Zhen, Ji Xiaotang and Changsheng were snickering beside them.
After a while, someone outside came in to report that Shunyi and his wife had arrived. Everyone hurriedly got up and went to Xuanhua Hall.
Ji Xiaomu and the Yang family went to the second gate in person, took Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaoyun in, went to Xuanhua Hall, and first gave Mrs. Ji a salute, and then Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji, and then Mr. Ji, and then greeted each other.
Both of them were dressed in bright red auspicious clothes, with a shy and joyful smile on their faces, and they stood side by side, and they were very right.
Xie Huaijin said simple words that were obviously taught by Ji Xiaoyun in advance, but when he kowtowed to the elders, he was very real, so that Mrs. Ji felt a little sorry for him, afraid that he would break his forehead.
Xie Huaijin prepared a greeting gift for the Ji family, and the elders of the Ji family also prepared a rich meeting gift, and waited for Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen to come here, because Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin were elders, and they also gave Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen a meeting gift first. Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen naturally also gave gifts in return.
Everyone had seen each other, changed their names, and then sat down again.
Ji Xiaoyun is still shy, but she has to answer questions, and she seems to be much more generous and cheerful than when she was at home before. Xie Huaijin didn't speak much, just sat there and just laughed.
Xie Huaijin's smile looked a little silly. Occasionally, his gaze met Ji Xiaoyun's, and his smile became even more silly.
Mrs. Ji Er saw something, a little sad and a little relieved.
After sitting for a while, the men went to sit elsewhere, leaving only the female dependents in Xuanhuatang.
Mrs. Ji couldn't wait to take Ji Xiaoyun's hand, and asked in a low voice.
Ji Xiaoyun's head hung low, and her voice was like a mosquito humming, and Mrs. Ji had to put her ears to it before she listened in a trance.
But that's enough.
Old Mrs. Ji nodded with satisfaction, and then nodded at Mrs. Ji Er, who was looking over.
Mrs. Ji Er breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that with Xie Huaijin's situation, the Ji family was worried that he and Ji Xiaoyun would not be able to complete the husband and wife ceremony. Mrs. Ji asked just now, and Ji Xiaoyun's answer was that everything was fine between the two.
What is more convincing than Ji Xiaoyun's words is Ji Xiaoyun's expression.
That can no longer deceive people, thinking back to the eye contact between Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin, the last bit of worry between Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji finally let go.
"That's fine." Mrs. Ji said that she was going to her ancestors to put on a stick of incense.
Xie Huaijin is different from ordinary people, but the two are married and can have children normally, and Ji Xiaoyun will have something to rely on in the future. This is the view of the elders of the Ji family, and it is also the general view of the world. (To be continued.) )
