The first is to ask for pink.

……

The little girl came to report, saying that Xie Zhixian was here and wanted to see Qi Younian.

It turned out that Qi Younian and Mu Jiahao came to Ji's house and passed by Xie Zhixian's carriage at the corner of the street, and they were noticed by Xie Zhixian's subordinates. Back at the county office, Xie Zhixian listened to the report of the subordinates, and another official came to tell him that he had seen the soldiers and horses of the Ren Anwei Station near the county seat.

Xie Zhixian roughly guessed the identities of Qi Younian and Mu Jiahao.

Xie Zhixian came to the Ji Mansion in an official uniform and asked to see the military general of the Ren Anwei Office.

Naturally, Second Master Ji couldn't stop him, so he ordered someone to invite Qi Younian.

"It is said that this Lord Xie is extremely shrewd and capable, and it seems that this is really the case." Qi Younian said.

Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San were busy and accompanied Qi Younian to the study in the front yard to see Xie Zhixian.

In the study, Second Master Ji, Xie Zhixian and Mu Jiahao were all sitting, and they were talking very harmoniously. Seeing that Qi Younian and his party were coming, Xie Zhixian hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Obviously, Xie Zhixian had already learned about Qi Younian's identity from Ji Er and Mu Jiahao, and he came up and called him a subordinate official.

"I don't know that Lord Qi is coming to the county, and the lower officials can't greet him, it's really rude."

Qi Younian helped Xie Zhixian and returned the salute with a fist.

"I don't have any important business, I don't dare to disturb the place. Unexpectedly, it still alarmed the magistrate. …… I didn't come here as an official, so please don't be polite. ”

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and Master Ji Er came over and welcomed both of them to their seats.

Second Master Ji introduced to Qi Younian and said that Xie Zhixian was his best friend. Speaking of the friendship between Master Ji Er and Xie Zhixian. It's very early. The two of them met when they went to Beijing to take the exam, and they were the same Jinshi in the list, and then they used to work together in the same place.

Second Master Ji said it briefly.

"That's it. More and more not an outsider. "Qi Younian is gentle and authentic.

Xie Zhixian said that Qi Younian and Mu Jiahao were both young talents, and it was a blessing for him to be able to get acquainted with them today.

"Since you have passed through Bi County, if you need local assistance, please ask the two adults to give orders." Xie Zhixian said.

“…… However, it is a routine inspection, and there is no need for a place to work for the time being. Qi Younian said, "Just because of the incident in Wanjia Village, Shangfeng has a life." Local defense should be strengthened. ”

Xie Zhixian then invited Qi Younian and Mu Jiahao to go to the county office.

Qi Younian and Mu Jiahao both refused.

"Lord Xie's kindness shouldn't have been pushed back, but there is still an errand on his shoulders." Qi Younian said, "I will definitely visit you another day." ”

Qi Younian seems to have a good impression of Xie Zhixian. The conversation is also quite cordial and respectful.

After a few words, Qi Younian and Mu Jiahao got up to say goodbye. They were originally going to leave, but Xie Zhixian came and delayed for a while, and this will not be able to delay any longer.

Mrs. Ji also came out to send Mu Jiahao.

“…… You go back and tell your parents. I am fine. So that my father and mother don't have to worry about me. …… If I have a bowel movement, I will take them to see my father and mother. As Mrs. Ji spoke, her eyes turned red again.

Second Master Ji was also uncomfortable beside him.

Because Mrs. Ji was afraid of Mrs. Ji, for the sake of family harmony, she did not go to Fucheng Province in the past few years. This kind of thing is really a bit unreasonable.

The Mu family is a family of military attachés, and they seem to be rude and unliterate, but they are more patient than ordinary people in this matter. is still distressed about his daughter and son-in-law.

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will definitely come to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Ji Er said. He already intended. After Master Ji San took the township exam, he personally went to Fucheng to pick up the uncle and nephew back.

At that time, even if he couldn't bring Second Mrs. Ji and Changsheng, he would go to Mu Hong and Shen to kowtow a few more times, and he could comfort and comfort the hearts of the two elders.

Mrs. Ji Er glanced at Master Ji Er, and felt a lot better.

Mu Jiahao was even more happy.

"Brother-in-law, then this is decided. I went back and told my father and mother that I didn't know how happy my father and mother would be. ”

"Wenda and Xiaotang came to Fucheng earlier with a letter, and we can arrange for someone to welcome you into the city." Qi Younian said to Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang.

Master Ji San nodded.

After sending Qi Younian and Mu Jiahao away, Xie Zhixian did not go with him, but returned to the study with the second master of Ji to sit.

“…… Why don't you send someone to tell me, if it weren't for the fact that I happened to get the news, I missed it like this. Xie Zhixian smiled and blamed Second Master Ji.

"It was my second brother-in-law who came to celebrate Xiaotang's birthday, and that Lord Qi came with him, but he didn't bother Brother Ziqian. …… I didn't know beforehand. Second Master Ji smiled.

Xie Zhixian didn't really blame Second Master Ji, and the topic of smiling was revealed.

Subsequently, Xie Zhixian talked about the promotion of the Mu family's father and son, saying that Mu Jiahao had the style of Mu Hong.

"It's a great thing to congratulate." Xie Zhixian said, and looked at Master Ji San's face, "Brother Wen Min, don't blame me for talking too much. Master Mu is a close relative of Brother Wen Min, and he should have been in contact with him a long time ago. Looking at it now, it is gradually getting better, and I am also happy for Brother Wen Min. ”

This little thing between the Ji family and the Mu family is really not enough for outsiders. Although most people in Qingyuan know something, no one can say anything in front of Second Master Ji.

Now Xie Zhixian also saw that the two families had resumed contact, so he said such a thing.

"Borrow the auspicious words of Brother Ziqian. Hey......" Speaking of this, Second Master Ji inevitably sighed deeply, "I told Brother Ziqian that the eldest husband is in the world, and this self-cultivation is not difficult, and when it comes to the Qi family, I am ashamed." ”

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." Xie Zhixian said, his eyes flashed, but there was a slight smile on his face.

Second Master Ji saw it, but he didn't take it to heart, just thought that Xie Zhixian was teasing him.

Even if the two are close friends, Xie Zhixian is still ridiculing him in this matter, let alone others. In the end, it's because it's too embarrassing.

Second Master Ji coughed dryly twice, and then diverted the topic.

Xie Zhixian didn't say much more, and then asked about Qi Younian again.

"Although he is very young, he has a calm bearing, and in time he will become a great weapon. What is the origin of this son? ”

Second Master Ji had some doubts and speculations about Qi Younian's life experience in his heart, but he didn't tell Xie Zhixian.

"It is said that he is a person from Hejian Province, and his family is a military household. He has come to this day because of his accumulated military exploits. "What Master Ji Er said is exactly what everyone knows about Qi Younian's life experience.

"Oh......" Xie Zhixian nodded. I should have come from some family. However, if you are a family member, at such an age, you will inevitably be a little arrogant. …… This son is really rare, we are fortunate to see it, and it is time to make friends. ”

Xie Zhixian and Ji Er talked for a long time before leaving.

After sending Xie Zhixian away, Second Master Ji sat in the study for a while, and then asked people to prepare paper and pencils.

Master Ji Er sat in the study, wrote three letters in a row, and then called the butler of his henchman to come in, and ordered like this, and sent the steward to deliver the letter.

Second Master Ji wrote a letter here and sent someone to deliver the letter, and Ji Xiaotang knew about it in Mrs. Ji's house.

Among the three letters from Second Master Ji, one was addressed to Master Ji.

Because of the timing of the letter, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but have some doubts about the content of these letters.

When Second Master Ji came to Second Mrs. Ji's house, Ji Xiaotang asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a greeting, and by the way, I will inquire about the situation in the court now." Second Master Ji said, and then asked Ji Xiaotang, "Xiaotang, have you put away that bow?" ”

Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"I just got it to the house, and Xiu'er and Jin'er saw it. The girl who embroidered was skillful, so she said that she would embroider a silk cloth cover and put all the bows and arrows in it, so that it would be okay to hang it on the wall. Ji Xiaotang said.

"It's better to put it in the box." Second Master Ji said, "If you want to use it, take it out again." Don't show off to anyone. ”

In fact, in the latter sentence, Master Ji Er didn't need to tell him at all, Ji Xiaotang had never had such a temperament.

"Daddy, I see." Ji Xiaotang glanced at Second Master Ji, and did not explain as usual, but simply responded.

At night, Mrs. Ji Er was lying on the bed, and she heard Master Ji Er turning over several times one after another beside her.

Mrs. Ji Er turned around and looked at Master Ji Er.

"Master, what's wrong, what's on your mind?" Ji Er's difficulty is like this, there must be something important on his mind.

"It's nothing. I'm so happy today that I can't sleep for a while. Second Master Ji said, and was about to get up, "Did you make a noise?" You can sleep well, I'll go to the study. ”

"Master, if you have anything on your mind, you have to hide it from me!" Mrs. Ji Er gently pressed Ji Er's arm to prevent him from getting up.

"Hey." Second Master Ji thought about it and lay back. "I don't have anything else on my mind, but I feel that in the past few years, I can't live with my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Second Master Ji couldn't tell Second Mrs. Ji, he doubted Qi Younian's background.

If Qi Younian was the person he suspected, things would not be simple. He knows the rules of that family, Qi Younian is not uncommon in the army, but he shouldn't be in Ren'an.

Why is Qi Younian in Ren'an?

If this Qi You Year is that Qi You Year, then who is the noble man who went to Qingyuan first.

Second Master Ji believed in Ji Xiaotang's judgment, and Ji Xiaotang suspected that the person was Qi Younian, which was by no means groundless, but that person did it deliberately. That person wants some people to think that he is that Qi Younian.

But why?

What is the true identity of that person?

After so many years of calm, is Ren An no longer a pure land?

Second Master Ji was restless, and he just wanted to find someone to discuss, but there were only Third Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang. However, he felt that it was not yet time.

This kind of thing, he hopes that he doesn't need to discuss it with Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang in this life. (To be continued......)
