Master Ji sat down next to the bookcase, and before Second Master Ji spoke, he told him all the important things that happened in Qingyuan and were not easy to say to Master Ji in the letter.

After Ji Er finished speaking, Master Ji's face had changed several times, not only was his face drenched in cold sweat, but he couldn't sit still on the chair, standing up and pacing non-stop.

Master Ji is so out of shape, Second Master Ji doesn't think it's abnormal, on the contrary, he deeply sympathizes. Such a terrible thing, even if he knew it at the beginning, it was also difficult to sit still, let alone Master Ji. Second Master Ji has always known that Master Ji wants to make a difference in his career.

If this matter is not handled well, let alone any career, even the life of the family will be difficult to protect.

"Second brother, Prince Jing'an wrote to you, hasn't the descendants of the Great Song Qi family confirmed that it is the son adopted by Xie Ziqian's thief?"

"Big brother is right." Second Master Ji nodded, "However, this matter still needs to be approved by the Lord Long Live and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty." Big brother, you don't need me to say it, you can figure it out. Xie Huaijin is a descendant of the Qi family, or he can be treated well by the imperial court. But if the Ji family is recognized as the descendant of the Qi family, the Ji family is afraid that it will be wiped out in the future! ”

Master Ji really understands this truth, which is why he is so anxious and afraid.

"Second brother, is it, is there anything that has changed in this matter? Why did the second brother never mention ...... in the letter, yes, I was clumsy, how can this kind of thing be mentioned in the letter, that is, you and I are talking today......"

Speaking of this, Master Ji couldn't help but look at Ji Xiaotang.

Something like that. Second Master Ji didn't let Ji Xiaomu, who was the eldest grandson, participate, but he trusted Ji Xiaotang so much. Don't say anything else, Ji Xiaotang is a girl after all. In the future, it is someone else's family.

"Uncle, this is exactly what my father wants to discuss with uncle." Ji Xiaotang spoke for the first time in front of Master Ji, "Huai Jin is the descendant of the Qi family, and the descendants of the Qi family should be treated well, and the uncle needs to do his best in the court." ”

This is not for Xie Huaijin, but for the Ji family themselves.

This is what Ji Xiaotang told Master Ji. Of course, she also has her own plans, that is, to strive for a more stable and superior life for Xie Huaijin.

"Rise and fall. There have been examples of kindness to the descendants of previous dynasties in all dynasties, and they have all been praised as a sign of the emperor's benevolence. Second Master Ji said.

Master Ji doesn't need to think much about this matter.

"I'll do my best." Master Ji nodded. Then he smiled wryly. "It's just that I'm just a mere waiter now, I'm afraid that my strength is meager, and I can't do much."

"Big brother can always do a push. Yang Ge Lao is there, and the eldest brother can also think of some ways. Second Master Ji said.

"It seems that we can only turn to the teacher for help." Master Ji said.

"The eldest brother turned to the elder for help, what can be said and what is not easy to say. The eldest brother should have a plan in his heart. It's not like I can't trust him. Again, this thing. The fewer people who know, the better. Big brother understands what I'm saying, right? ”

At this time, Master Ji understood the reason why Second Master Ji didn't let him call Ji Xiaomu over. After a little groaning, Master Ji nodded.

"I still know the importance of your and mine's lives."

"Please also make an oath to uncle." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Oh......" Master Ji's brows furrowed almost invisibly, and his gaze fell from Ji Xiaotang to Second Master Ji.

"Big brother, when it comes to his own life, my eldest brother is much more valuable than me. Please don't blame the big brother. Second Master Ji said.

Twice and three times, Master Ji has fully understood Ji Xiaotang's status in the second master Ji's room. He didn't think so, and secretly didn't like it, but Second Master Ji insisted, and what he said was indeed right.

Master Ji nodded and swore in front of Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang.

Knowing that the most difficult thing in this matter has been handled by Master Ji Er, the next thing he has to do is to add fuel to the fire in the court, which is obviously much easier. Master Ji thought about these things clearly, although he was still worried in his heart, he slowly calmed down after all, and sat down again.

"Second brother, there are rumors in the court that you are a close confidant of Prince An. The second brother entered Beijing this time, what arrangements does the prince have for the second brother? "This is what Master Ji plans to talk about with Second Master Ji.

"The rumors in the DPRK and China are not credible, and the prince is willing to care because he is suspicious of the Ji family. Now that you and my brother are in Beijing, wouldn't it be better to control it! Second Master Ji said.

"Hmm......"

"In addition, our Ji family donated money and food, and it did have some merit. The prince knows that I have returned to my hometown because of the system, and now that my term has expired, he also wants me to work for the imperial court. ”

Hearing Second Master Ji say this, Master Ji moved slightly on the chair.

"In that case, I was about to tell my second brother. The second brother is full of wealth, and he is still above his brother, so he is too wronged when he is old in the countryside. ”

"The eldest brother has won the award, if it is about knowledge and the way of economy, I will never dare to compare with the eldest brother. Also, I don't have many expectations in my career. This time I went to Beijing as a last resort. ”

"Now that you're here, don't say anything you have to say again. Second brother, since the prince is interested, do you want to stay in Beijing as an official this time? ”

"I'm afraid so." Second Master Ji nodded.

"Hmm......" Master Ji muttered, he also thought of this, but before he heard what Second Master Ji said, there was always some hope. Now that Master Ji Er has said this, he will definitely stay in the capital as an official.

Second Master Ji stays in Beijing, and Mrs. Ji will definitely stay.

"What kind of yamen does the second brother like, tell the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will talk to the teacher, and there will always be more help." Master Ji thought about it, and asked Second Master Ji.

"Wherever it is." Ji Er said. He really didn't have much idea about it.

"If you can, Uncle can think of ideas in the Hanlin Academy." Ji Xiaotang said, "If the Hanlin Academy does not succeed, it will be the Ministry of Rites and the Guozijian, and there will be no vacancy in the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Household will never be able to go." ”

"Xiaotang!" Second Master Ji stopped Ji Xiaotang, meaning that he didn't like Ji Xiaotang to say this.

Master Ji smiled.

"Xiaotang is very clear." Ji Xiaotang is so clear about the current situation of each yamen. Those must be the words of Master Ji Er. In the eyes of Master Ji, this is because Second Master Ji was embarrassed to tell him where he wanted to go, and deliberately said it through Ji Xiaotang's mouth.

"I'll do my best to think of it. Second brother, just listen to my good news. "Hanlin Academy and Guozijian are both noble places, and they are less involved in court battles, even the Ministry of Rites is also a stable and idle place, in the current situation, it is the most stable for Ji Er to go to these places.

As for the officials, it is not something that can be entered in general. And the household department. Now it's the most thankless part.

There is also the Ministry of Industry where he is located, Ji Xiaotang did not mention it, because it is impossible for the imperial court to let their brothers be officials in the Ministry of Industry at the same time.

Master Ji nodded secretly. This brother of his, has always been able to carry it.

After talking about the plans of Second Master Ji after he arrived in the capital, Master Ji asked a lot of things about Qingyuan, mainly mentioning Jiang Qingshan.

"How could you have thought that that guy turned out to be the leader of the anti-thieves! If it weren't for the Seven Kills, the guy would have died on the way. When I arrived at Dali Temple, I bit our brother. Let's tear up the stack clearly! ”

In these things, Master Ji is still grateful to Second Master Ji.

"Jiang Qingshan......" Second Master Ji wanted to express his doubts, he suspected that Jiang Qingshan was not a broken army, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Ji Xiaotang pursing his lips slightly. Second Master Ji immediately stopped.

"What's wrong with Jiang Qingshan?" Master Ji asked.

"Our family has a white-eyed wolf, and the night Xie Ziqian besieged the Ji family with thieves, it was the mansion that this guy brought people into."

"This is knowing the face of the person but not the heart. However, I have always known that the Jiang family is not a good type. It's a pity that when my father was alive at that time, he maintained them very well. Master Ji said this. Seeing that Second Master Ji didn't pick up, after all, it was about Old Master Ji, so Master Ji obediently stopped talking.

"He once hit the idea of our Ji family's blessed land, second brother, but let him break my Ji family's feng shui?" When Master Ji asked this, he got up slightly in the chair, obviously very concerned about this matter.

"Don't worry, big brother, we found out early, and we didn't let him succeed." Second Master Ji said busily, "Speaking of this, thanks to Xiaotang." It's not that Xiaotang has a heart, that guy colluded with our family and acted in secret, I'm afraid that I will be kept in the dark. ”

Second Master Ji explained in detail again how Ji Xiaotang found out that Jiang Qingshan was inappropriate.

Master Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang's gaze again, and there was a little more warmth.

After that, Master Ji asked a lot about the repair of the blessed land, as well as the worship of ancestors in Qingyuan's family, and heard that there is a drought everywhere now, and only the blessed land of the Ji family is still lush, and Master Ji's expression is a little proud.

"Our ancestors' good vision ......" Master Ji shook his hand and asked Second Master Ji again, "Second brother, I asked you to find someone to draw a detailed map of the blessed land, can you bring it?" ”

Knowing that Second Master Ji was going to enter Beijing, Master Ji specially wrote a letter and repeatedly told him about the matter in the letter. Second Master Ji was quite unimpressed with Master Ji's requirements, thinking that in today's situation, there were too many things that needed attention, but Master Ji only focused on the blessed land.

Despite this, Second Master Ji still asked people to draw a map of the blessed land, and was instructed by Ji Xiaotang to take it with him and prepare to hand it over to Master Ji at any time.

When Master Ji saw that Second Master Ji took out the map, he happily took it, and immediately looked at it under the lamp, nodding while reading.

“…… Tibetan wind gathers water ......, hmm...... The land of Longxing ......" Master Ji's voice stopped abruptly.

Fortunately, neither Ji Xiaotang nor Second Master Ji heard his muttering clearly, but they were secretly a little speechless for him to look so obsessed.

"Second brother has worked hard." Master Ji carefully put the map into his sleeve, "I have recently gained some experience in the study of I Ching and Feng Shui, and I am looking for a place to study Feng Shui and study it." …… If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get out, I should have gone to Qingyuan in person......"

Master Ji was happy, and this sentence was a little slipped. I didn't go back to Qingyuan to pick up Mrs. Ji, nor did I go back to Qingyuan to worship my ancestors, but I returned to Qingyuan to explore the topography and feng shui of the blessed land of the Ji family!

It's not early, and the most important things have already been said, Master Ji proposed that the rest of the things can be said tomorrow, Second Master Ji has come from afar, and it's time to rest first.

Second Master Ji took Ji Xiaotang to stand up.

"Hmm...... The second brother ...... "Master Ji seemed to suddenly remember what was going on, so he stopped Second Master Ji."

Master Ji Er stopped. Master Ji didn't speak again, and his eyes wandered to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang immediately realized that this was something that Master Ji had to say in front of her. Think about what you just said. What else is so important that you have to carry her?

Thinking like this, Ji Xiaotang still bent his knees and was blessed, so he took his leave first.

Master Ji arranged for someone to send Ji Xiaotang away, and then he spoke to Second Master Ji again.

"Second brother, who else did the old lady bring to Beijing this time?" Master Ji was a little anxious. There are also some scorns. "When I entered the door, there was a person standing behind the old lady, how could it be like a piano...... What does the piano lady look like? ”

……

Ji Xiaotang left the back study. did not go back to Yanhua Hall, but came to Jinghua Hall.

Changsheng had already slept with the nurse, and the lights were still on in Mrs. Ji's room. She didn't sleep, she was waiting for Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang. saw that Ji Xiaotang came back first. Mrs. Ji Er asked someone to bring a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

"And your daddy's. You eat first. Second Mrs. Ji watched Ji Xiaotang eat porridge, and asked Ji Xiaotang again, "Why did you come back first?" ”

"Uncle seems to have something to ask Daddy in private." Ji Xiaotang told Mrs. Ji, "Daddy should be back soon." ”

"How's it going?" Mrs. Ji then asked again.

Ji Xiaotang paused slightly before nodding.

Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang's expression and didn't ask again.

When Ji Xiaotang ate the porridge, the second master Ji also came back.

Second Master Ji said that he was not hungry and refused to eat anything.

"What did the old man tell you again?" Mrs. Ji asked.

"Nothing." Second Master Ji glanced at Ji Xiaotang.

Mrs. Ji Er didn't ask. Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly.

"Daddy wouldn't say, but I could guess. Did the uncle ask Yao? ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Ji Er's face. Without him to speak, Ji Xiaotang knew that he had guessed correctly. Mrs. Ji brought Yao and others into the house, but in a hurry, there was no special introduction.

Or, Mrs. Ji did it on purpose.

However, this did not prevent Master Ji from seeing the Yao family in the crowd.

"Daddy's worries are my worries." Ji Xiaotang simply talked to the second master Ji, "Uncle is naturally concerned about the life of the Ji family, but ......"

However, Master Ji's attitude towards the feng shui of the Ji family's blessed land, as well as his concern for the Yao family, are very inappropriate under the premise of a major matter of his life.

Such an attitude is not only inappropriate?

Such a big man Ji can't be fully trusted, and he can't trust him with confidence.

"In addition to asking Yao's family, the eldest brother also asked me to let us deal with the old lady for him more." Second Master Ji said to Second Mrs. Ji. This is one of the reasons why his face is not good.

Master Ji complained to him, saying that he had not been loved by Mrs. Ji since he was a child, and no matter what he did, he could not please Mrs. Ji, and the meaning of his words made Mr. Ji dislike.

Of course, Master Ji also talked about his own marriage, and said that Mrs. Ji must have been disgusted by Mrs. Ji, so he wanted Second Master Ji to entrust Mrs. Ji and the "nieces" to help Mrs. Ji more in front of Mrs. Ji.

"Other than that, what else did Uncle say?"

"It's nothing." Ji Er said.

"Uncle didn't say anything about his official position?"

"I didn't mention that."

"In the past two years, officials from various ministries of the imperial court have been repeatedly demoted, and even if the uncle has no merit, he has no fault, but he is still an official residence, and he has not advanced an inch." Originally, the matter of greedy ink for disaster relief broke out, and Master Ji could get close to taking a step forward, and this meaning was also vaguely revealed in Master Ji's letter at that time.

But later, there was no later.

Second Master Ji also wrote a letter to hear the news, but Master Ji only skipped it vaguely and did not elaborate.

"Xiaotang, what do you mean......"

"The uncle's career has encountered a bottleneck, even Yang Ge Lao can no longer cover it, so he can only keep the uncle's current official position." What this bottleneck is, it is already self-evident. "Therefore, Uncle has to work his grandmother, and he urgently needs our help."
