"What!" When Master Ji San's voice landed, Mrs. Ji was anxious first. "Twenty-five, that's a teenager. You don't look at it, others are at your current age, let alone marrying, some people have two sons. You're going to have to wait until you're twenty-five, and you're going to wait for me to die. ”

When Mrs. Ji said this, she had a bitter face.

"I'm all a handful old, and I'm going to wait until you're twenty-five years old, and I don't know if I'll live to see you get married, and see you have children."

Mrs. Ji hadn't spilled or made a fuss for a long time, but in order to let Mr. Ji San marry, she didn't mind making a fuss like she did in Qingyuan.

"Mother, you will definitely be able to live a long life, not to mention seeing me as my own child, you will live longer than me." Master Ji San said with a smile.

The other brothers of the Ji family were afraid of Mrs. Ji's trouble, but the third master was not afraid.

When Mrs. Ji saw the hippie smiling face of Master Ji San, she was about to continue crying, but she choked back. The old lady's angry face was red and white.

She just can't do anything about this little son.

However, on this issue, even for her youngest son, Mrs. Ji cannot easily back down.

"You kid, blame me for being too indulgent to you before. This time, I don't care what you say, you have to marry me a daughter-in-law to enter the door. Otherwise, you don't want to leave the capital, and you don't want to go to sea again. ”

Mrs. Ji's words were harsh, but in the end, her eyes were a little red.

Ji Xiaotang understands Mrs. Ji's thoughts. Because Mrs. Ji once told her. The life at sea, where is it so good, Master Ji San is outside. There is not a day when Mrs. Ji is not worried, I am afraid that in case, Master Ji San will never come back.

However, she really couldn't stop Master Ji San from running outside.

Let Master Ji San marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to children, and leave a queen for Master Ji San, just in case. Talk about consolation.

This is a piece of Mrs. Ji's motherly heart.

Ji Xiaotang signaled to Master Ji San, asking him to coax Mrs. Ji no matter what.

Master Ji San will understand. immediately put away the smiling look on his face, squatted down beside Mrs. Ji's legs, and hugged Mrs. Ji's thighs.

Mrs. Ji's eyes were even more moist, and her heart was also soft.

This is when Master Ji San was a child. It's a habitual action that develops. Mrs. Ji gave birth to three sons in her life. The only one who can be coquettish in front of her, and who is so close to her, is this little son.

"Mother, I know. There is a saying that my mother is worried that I have been outside for a few years, and my mother has not been worried about me for a while. I don't miss my mother for a while. "What Master Ji San said was full of emotion.

Although Mrs. Ji was still trying her best to keep her face on the floor, the subtle movements at the corners of her mouth had betrayed her state of mind at the moment.

"You're used to sweet talk." Mrs. Ji scolded Mr. Ji.

Master Ji San was scolded. Not annoyed at all, the smile on his face is more obvious.

"My mother asked me to marry. It's all for my good, I know better than anyone else. My mother wants a daughter-in-law and a grandson, I promise, these will be there, and I will never disappoint my mother. ”

"You said there would be, when are you going to make me wait?!"

"I won't let my mother wait too long." Master Ji San said, the next words are not only to Mrs. Ji, but to everyone.

"I'm away all the year round, and I've married a good girl who comes in the door, but I let the family guard it alone, which is too sorry for people. I don't want to do such a thing. Moreover, at sea, you can meet anything, and if there is something, you will be even more sorry for the good girl. Master Ji San's tone was low.

It turned out that he was reluctant to marry, not because he didn't want to be restrained, but because he had a gentle heart.

Ji Xiaotang was not surprised by this, she knew Master Ji San. In the bones of Master Ji San, he is actually a very gentle and considerate man.

When Mrs. Ji heard Master Ji's words, she became more and more distressed.

"You care so much, let's marry her and come in, and we will never treat her badly. It is her blessing to be able to marry you. …… Don't say anything so depressing again, bah, third child, you want to live a long life! Mrs. Ji raised her hand and stroked the top of Mr. Ji's hair.

Master Ji San showed a rare obedient appearance, and simply put his whole face on Mrs. Ji's lap.

"What a man!" Second Master Ji muttered quietly, as if he didn't see this scene, but there was a deep smile in his eyes.

"There is one more thing, as the prince reminded, Xiaotang said. I am now on the cusp of the storm, and most of the people who come to propose marriage have different intentions, and it is difficult for that girl to marry into our family, and it is difficult to be with us. Such a daughter-in-law is better not to marry. ”

And the person who is about to come to the door to propose marriage is either an extraordinary identity, or has an old relationship with the Ji family, no matter which one he refuses, he is afraid that he will offend people. Considering these, Master Ji San decided to simply say not to marry.

It's impossible not to marry for the rest of your life, but it's okay to prevaricate for a few years.

"When the time comes, I will need my mother's help." Master Ji San raised his face and said with a smile to Mrs. Ji.

"What do you want me to help with?" Mrs. Ji couldn't help asking.

"Mother only needs me, for me to tell my fate, in order to keep me safe, it is not appropriate to marry early, my family affairs, now can not be discussed, to wait a few more years, it is a good time."

Of course, Mrs. Ji was unwilling, but she really couldn't help Master Ji.

Second Master Ji, Second Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang discussed, although they also wanted Master Ji Third to start a family as soon as possible, but Master Ji's decision was undoubtedly correct at this time.

With their approval, Mrs. Ji had no choice but to compromise in the end, but thanks to Master Ji's repeated promises.

Master Ji San promised that his daughter-in-law would have it, and his grandson would also have it, so Mrs. Ji just had to wait patiently. Mrs. Ji asked for a time limit, and Mr. Ji said that it would be two or three years.

Mrs. Ji reluctantly accepted.

When Master Ji San talked about two or three years, he looked very determined. Ji Xiaotang looked at it in his eyes and decided that Master Ji San must have a charter in his heart.

"Uncle, don't you really have someone you like?" Wait to leave from Mrs. Ji's side. Ji Xiaotang immediately asked Master Ji San quietly.

Master Ji San smiled and waved his hand, asking Ji Xiaotang not to guess.

"I'm not guessing, I know you best." Ji Xiaotang looked at Master Ji San while speaking, refusing to let go of any slight change in expression on his face. "Uncle, you met the person you like at sea, she is not from our Daqin, is she. So you're worried about your grandmother, and the family won't be able to accept her? ”

The corners of Master Ji San's eyes twitched slightly.

Ji Xiaotang felt that she might have said something to the point.

"Uncle. Your worries are unnecessary. As long as she's a good girl, good to you, and you like her, just bring her back. Grandmother there. And Daddy's there. It's all me! ”

Ji Xiaotang assured Master Ji San.

"Moreover, even if I don't say anything, as long as you like it, my father and mother will not really object. It's your grandmother, it's too late for you to marry her, you may not agree with it at first, but you will slowly change your mind. Uncle, you really have nothing to worry about. ”

Ji Xiaotang repeatedly confirmed with Master Ji San. If Master Ji San meets someone he likes overseas, it will also be a good thing.

I have to say. Ji Xiaotang's thinking is really open-minded, this is not only because of his personality, but also because of the teaching of Ji Er since he was a child.

Ji Xiaotang said a lot, and although Master Ji San's face changed slightly, he was always noncommittal.

"Obediently prepare to be your bride, uncle's own business, uncle knows it in his heart, don't think about it."

Master Ji San's mouth was particularly tight in this matter.

Ji Xiaotang showed an aggrieved look.

"Uncle, you've never been okay to hide from me. It's been outside for a long time, and I'm not as close as I used to be. ”

Master Ji San laughed, but he didn't fall for Ji Xiaotang, and after a few perfunctory sentences, he asked Ji Xiaotang to go to him to pick things.

“…… In addition to the gifts specially brought to you, there are many good things, and you don't have time to pick them one by one, you go and pick the ones you like. ”

"It's too late today, tomorrow. Uncle should go back to rest early. Ji Xiaotang said.

"That's fine." Master Ji San agreed.

The uncle and nephew broke up and went back to their own residences.

"Uncle also has a secret." Mama Cheng led someone to serve and take off her clothes, Ji Xiaotang looked at herself in the mirror, and said slightly distractedly.

Mama Cheng said with a smile while sorting out her dress: "This is also human nature. ”

"yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"Moreover, the third master is a gentleman's family, even if he is a niece with the county lord, he will not say anything to the county lord about women." Mama Cheng continued.

Ji Xiaotang also knows this truth.

"Mama, I have a gut feeling." Ji Xiaotang told Mama Cheng, "Uncle is outside, there must be a woman." ”

"That's not human nature, and it's a good thing, even if the third master doesn't say it. The third master must have his plans. The third master can already be on his own now, and the county lord no longer needs to worry about everything for the third master as he did in the past. ”

"Mama, you're right." Ji Xiaotang thought about it and chuckled.

In this regard, although Ji Xiaotang was curious, he let go of this matter.

The next day, the Ji family set up two tables for a banquet, Qin Zhen naturally came, Qi Younian was also invited, and Qin Lin, the king of Su, came with Qi Younian.

“…… That day, I listened to Brother Wenda talk about overseas things, and I really longed for it, and I was very close to Brother Wenda, and I was an uninvited guest today......" Qin Lin Yushu stood there in the wind, greeting the second master Ji, the third master Ji and the eldest master Ji.

"Prince Su can come, and Xinhuatang is shining. Prince Su is a distinguished guest, and our brother was only afraid of being presumptuous before, so he didn't dare to invite him. Master Ji said hurriedly.

"If the prince can come, our brother will be disgraced." Second Master Ji also said.

"I and the prince also hit it off at first sight." Master Ji San said.

In this way, Qin Lin was also invited to the upper seat of the banquet, and Qin Zhen, Qin Lin and Qi Younian inevitably sat at the same table.

Qin Zhen and Qi Younian will meet, Ji Xiaotang has been prepared for a long time, and he is not worried. The identity of these two people is difficult for them to never meet. But Qin Lin's arrival still surprised her slightly. She knows. Qin Lin would want to befriend Master Ji San, but he didn't expect him to enter the house like this.

However, the visitor is the guest. The Ji family is a warm and qualified host, and all the guests who come are also good guests.

At the banquet, everyone laughed and laughed, although Qin Zhen and Qi Younian did not speak, even Qi Younian did not have a black face.

He came today to celebrate Master Ji San, even though Qin Zhen was present. He can't put on a face and touch the head of the master's house. Besides, the matter of Master Ji San. He was also happy in his heart.

At the banquet, sure enough, someone mentioned Master Jisan's family affairs.

This person, who is still an old friend of the same year of Master Ji, said that he was entrusted by someone. Second Master Ji didn't ask him who he was entrusted with. And Master Ji San was in front of everyone. told him that it was not appropriate for him to marry early.

"The lot asked for in the temple was very effective, and my mother believed in it. Fortunately, I'm still young, and I'm not bad for a few years. In the future, I will no longer always run outside, and then I will do a good job of family affairs, so as not to wronged other girls. ”

When such words came out, no one at the banquet would say anything about proposing marriage to Master Ji San.

When the banquet dispersed, the guests left one after another, but Qi Younian and Qin Lin deliberately stayed behind. Qin Lin and Master Ji San said a lot of words. Then he left Qi Younian to talk to Master Ji San, and he found Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Lin has something to say to Ji Xiaotang.

"After the marriage is over. I have wanted to talk to Xiaotang for a long time, but I have never found a chance. ”

"If the prince has any advice, please feel free to say it." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"I'm sorry about the marriage." Qin Lin's attitude was very sincere, "The Queen Mother pointed out Xiaotang to the fourth brother, not to me, which is one of my regrets." ”

"Is there another two?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Yes." Qin Lin nodded, "Although I heard some rumors before, the rumors cannot be believed. I didn't know that Xiaotang and Ayou were real......"

Hearing Qin Lin mention Qi Younian, Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyes, his gaze turned slightly, and then slowly raised his eyes to look at Qin Lin.

Qin Lin's attitude is still sincere.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have competed with my fourth brother, although I am still reluctant to give up on Xiaotang, and I will fulfill your lovers. Xiaotang, at that time, if you were willing to tell me frankly, things might not have turned out like this. ”

Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Lin, even if it was her, she couldn't help believing that Qin Lin was telling the truth.

However, is this really the case?

Ji Xiaotang believes that not really.

If they asked Qin Lin for help before, Qin Lin might really think of ways to fulfill them, but there would definitely be conditions. That condition is that the Ji family and Qi Younian have followed him with all their hearts since then.

But if that's the case, she and Qi Younian still can't be together.

Empress Dowager Han will not agree, and Qin Zhen will not sit idly by.

In the current situation, Qin Lin's forces, even with the addition of Qi Younian and the Ji family, are not enough to change the world.

Qin Lin's generous and touching words are, in the final analysis, empty favors.

However, Ji Xiaotang can't be pierced.

"This has come to this, and there is no need to mention the things of the past." Ji Xiaotang sighed softly and said.

"It's not too late to make amends." Qin Lin obviously didn't think so, "Xiaotang, if you want to be with Ayou, I'll think of a way for you immediately." ”

"What can the prince do?" Ji Xiaotang asked immediately, but his attitude was not eager.

She was just curious, so far, what else could King Su do if he couldn't do it. If there was a way, she would have thought of it a long time ago.

Although Xiaotang continued to prepare the dowry, it was only that the sedan chair would not be carried to King An's Mansion, but to the Mighty Marquis Mansion. If it is inconvenient for the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, the Suwang Mansion can also do it. Xiao Wang witnessed the marriage of Xiaotang and Ayou. ”

Qin Lin's meaning was to ask her to resist Qi Younian and cook raw rice into rice.

Now that Great Qin is uneasy inside and outside, it is when it comes to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion and Qi Younian, if Qi Younian marries Ji Xiaotang like this, the Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing can't really do anything about the Weiwu Marquis Mansion and Qi Younian.

Qin Lin will also do his best to maneuver around it, even if there is some turmoil, he can finally keep the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang safe.

I have to say that Qin Lin's plan is very bold.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing.

"Xiaotang, do you agree?" Qin Lin was overjoyed in his heart.

"Lord Wang, don't you think this is too child's play?" Ji Xiaotang asked. In fact, she has never had such a bold idea, but that idea was only for a moment, and she vetoed it.

"But it can succeed, can't it?" Qin Lin smiled and replied.

In this way, she can be with Qi Younian.

But as a result, Qin Zhen lost face and became the biggest joke in the history of Great Qin. From now on, Qin Zhen, her, and Qi Younian will definitely become inseparable enemies. And she and Qi Younian, since then, have been completely tied to Qin Lin. She and Qi Younian have completely lost the initiative and can only be at the mercy of others in the future.

The winner of this matter is only Qin Lin.

Ji Xiaotang never thought of hurting Qin Zhen, that is, she chose a collaborator, and she also chose Qin Zhen, not Qin Lin.

So far, she can't say anything bad about Qin Lin. However, she will still choose Qin Zhen.

If you want to ask why, maybe this is the so-called fate.

"Lord Wang, I never wanted to hurt King An, and I won't hurt Ayou. The prince's suggestion that I could be with Ayou, but it ruined both of them at the same time. ”

Ji Xiaotang will not do such a thing.

"Xiaotang, the matter is not as serious as you think." Qin Lin's eyes flashed slightly, and he continued to persuade Ji Xiaotang.

"Lord Wang, I have been assigned to marry Lord An, and I plan to marry him smoothly. The prince just needs to bless me. Ji Xiaotang expressed his attitude to Qin Lin.

"Xiaotang ......" Qin Lin was slightly stunned, "Did you say the same to Ayou, he is still waiting for my conversation." ”

Obviously, what Qin Lin said to Ji Xiaotang had already been discussed with Qi Younian in advance.

"Ayo will bless me." Ji Xiaotang said succinctly and crisply.

Qin Lin looked at Ji Xiaotang for a long time.

"Xiaotang, you are really ruthless to Ayou."

"Lord, I'm just doing the right thing." Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows and smiled. She's just doing what's good for everyone. This is not including Qin Lin. (To be continued......)
