However, soon Qin Boyang raised his head. The look on his face was still respectful.

"My father-in-law is more knowledgeable than us young people, and I listen to my father-in-law at every opportunity." Qin Boyang said respectfully.

Ji Xiaoyun seemed to want to speak beside Mrs. Ji, but she didn't say anything after all. Qin Boyang and Ji Xiaoyun said goodbye and returned to Qinghe Hutong together, saying that they were preparing their luggage and going to Huai as far as possible.

After these two people left, Mrs. Ji kept sighing, but she didn't say anything. Second Master Ji sat in silence for a while, and also took Second Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang out.

"What is the master's plan, really let them go?" Back in Mrs. Ji's house, Mrs. Ji immediately asked, "If you only go back for a month or two, it's actually nothing." ”

"Mother, if they say now that they will move to Huaiyuan from now on, will we agree?" Ji Xiaotang said suddenly.

"Of course not." Mrs. Ji almost didn't think about it, and then thought for a while, and her expression was a little gloomy, "However, if your sister makes trouble like this a few times, it's hard to say." ”

"It's not going to be as easy as it is now." Ji Xiaotang said, "Moreover, the current situation can be said to be my sister's idea." If we want to move to live in Huaiyuan, can we still believe that it was my sister's idea alone? ”

"No, it won't." Second Mrs. Ji replied, looking at Ji Xiaotang at the same time, "Xiaotang, are you saying that they went to Huaiyuan this time, so they don't plan to come back?" ”

"My sister's dowry is still here, so naturally they want to come back." Ji Xiaotang smiled faintly.

"Your father said that he wouldn't let them bring a dowry, and I don't think Boyang is unhappy. The promise was also very happy. Mrs. Ji said.

"My sister will be here soon." Ji Xiaotang said lightly.

Although Qin Boyang's words and deeds in front of people are almost impeccable, every qiē shows that Ji Xiaoyun is completely controlled by Qin Boyang.

"Xiaoyun has never been a child with ideas." Second Master Ji sighed. Then Ji Xiaoyun suddenly has such a right idea now. Naturally, someone was giving her ideas.

Because of this, Ji Xiaoyun couldn't let go of Huaiyuan with Qin Boyang. Under the noses of the Ji family, the current situation has also been formed, if he goes far away to Huaiyuan, then Ji Xiaoyun will have to become a puppet in the hands of Qin Boyang.

Ji Xiaotang's gaze drifted out of the window unconsciously, but he thought in his heart that Ji Xiaoyun was now Qin Boyang's puppet. It's just that he is still in front of the Ji family. And Qin Boyang is still worried about Ji Xiaoyun's dowry, so he treats Ji Xiaoyun well.

If the Ji family is not in front of him, or the Ji family is in decline. And Qin Boyang got Ji Xiaoyun's dowry again, what will be the result?

As a result, Ji Xiaoyun's death date has come, just like in his previous life.

However, now if you talk to Ji Xiaoyun about this. Will Ji Xiaoyun believe it? The answer is obvious. Ji Xiaoyun didn't believe it at all. In Ji Xiaoyun's eyes, only Qin Boyang, Wang and other members of the Qin family are her relatives, and the Ji family, except for Mrs. Ji, is almost the same as her enemies. Among them, Ji Xiaoyun is the most.

Sometimes, something is grasped too tightly and is easier to lose.

Ji Xiaoyun's current situation, Ji Xiaotang thinks that letting go is the best choice.

Let go. It doesn't mean that watching Ji Xiaoyun die, and it doesn't mean that the Ji family will suffer this loss.

Even if Qin Boyang mastered Ji Xiaoyun. Nor can he achieve his goal. Therefore, Ji Xiaotang agrees with Ji Er's approach.

"The dowry stays, and the person can go. As long as the Qin family still has ideas, my sister will not suffer too many grievances. As time goes by, the Qin family always has to show their true faces, and when the time comes, my sister will see it clearly, and it will be easy to do it. ”

It's also time for Ji Xiaoyun to grow up.

"That's it." Second Master Ji nodded.

Mrs. Ji Er was a little reluctant in her heart, but she also understood that this was the best way at present. Ji Xiaoyun's own personality and Mrs. Ji's teachings, if she doesn't experience some real pain, she won't grow up at all.

"I thought that as long as she could be happy, we would take care of her like this, and it might be a good thing for her to live her life in a mess like this. But...... "Reality clearly doesn't allow for this.

Second Master Ji sighed, and several people quickly discussed the matter and settled it.

As Ji Xiaotang expected, early the next morning, Ji Xiaoyun came again alone. As soon as she entered the door, she still went straight to Mrs. Ji's courtyard. Ji Xiaoyun came this time to ask Mrs. Ji to take her dowry and go to Huaiyuan.

“…… It's already given to me, isn't it for me to use flowers, and you still want to take it back to Xiaotang? Let outsiders know, and the legend is not like it. People like the Ji family can't afford to lose this face, and I can't afford to lose this face......"

Mrs. Ji was the most unbearable for Ji Xiaoyun to make trouble like this, and Ji Xiaoyun was making a fuss, so she shed tears again. Yesterday, Ji Xiaoyun cried and smoked, and Mrs. Ji was distressed and scared, and she couldn't wait for Ji Xiaoyun to respond to anything.

"That's it, that's it. I can't control what your father and mother gave you, I give you what I give you, wherever you take it, how you use it. Mrs. Ji coaxed Ji Xiaoyun and said.

In addition to some of her own heads, rulers and other things, Mrs. Ji gave Ji Xiaoyun four of the first two pieces of silver.

"Grandmother said so, and there was no way for my father and mother not to nod their heads. I'm in Qinghe Hutong, and I can't even move under the orders of a subordinate! Obviously, after Ji Xiaoyun went back to Qinghe Hutong, she wanted to ignore Ji Er's words and pack up the dowry and leave. However, Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji arranged so many accompanying rooms, as well as Mama Cheng, but they refused to let Ji Xiaoyun touch those things.

Ji Xiaoyun had no way, so she asked Mrs. Ji to make trouble again.

Mrs. Ji endured the headache, so she had to send someone to call Second Master Ji over, and said so. Second Master Ji had already discussed countermeasures with Second Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang.

If you don't give a little silver, it seems that it will not be possible, otherwise how can you lure the snake out of the hole and let the Qin family expose their true colors.

"You will only be allowed to take a thousand taels of silver." Second Master Ji said, "One thousand taels of silver." It's enough for your little couple to support your mother-in-law for three or four years. ”

Ji Er told Ji Xiaoyun that he could take away a thousand taels, but there was one more condition.

"You have to bring the accompanying room that Mama Cheng and your mother gave you, they are all from the Ji family. What is the disposition, I want to sue your mother, and you are not allowed to send it away at will. ”

One thousand taels can be taken away, but the people of the Ji family must also follow.

Ji Xiaoyun didn't say anything, nodded and agreed.

This time, Ji Xiaoyun didn't come back to make trouble, but after she went back. Qin Boyang hurried to the door to ask Second Master Ji for his guilt, saying that Ji Xiaoyun came back to make trouble without him.

Qin Boyang told Second Master Ji that he would go back to persuade Ji Xiaoyun. still only bring the things he carries with him to Huaiyuan, and does not bring a large amount of money.

Second Master Ji shook his head with a smile.

"The dowry for Xiaoyun is naturally for you and my future grandchildren. The reason for the restriction. It's just that I'm afraid that you'll be young. Especially Xiaoyun, who is not experienced in the world, can't see it for a while, so she spends it indiscriminately. ”

"The father-in-law is compassionate, and the son-in-law is grateful." Qin Boyang hurriedly saluted.

"What do you want to be grateful, as long as you treat Xiaoyun well, work hard, and live a good life." Second Master Ji was busy and stretched out his hand to help Qin Boyang up, and then asked Qin Boyang with concern, "There is a general drought in Ren'an Mansion this year. I heard that the situation in Huaiyuan is even stricter than that in Qingyuan. If there is any inconvenience at home, your two cousins are not easy to say. You know that you can't help but sue me. ”

"You and I are sons-in-law, and we have relatives, we can help and never shirk."

Second Master Ji looked at Qin Boyang.

Qin Boyang almost didn't hesitate, and shook his head at Second Master Ji in a hurry.

"Although there is a drought this year, the Qin family is not the one who has no savings. Not to mention that only one year of drought is ten or eight years, and it will not hinder us in anything. Qin Boyang spoke, as if the Qin family was still as rich as before.

Second Master Ji nodded, and refused to say anything more.

Qin Boyang and Ji Xiaoyun packed their luggage for three days, and on the fourth day, they came over with the Wang family and said goodbye to Mrs. Ji, Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji.

Qin Boyang's attitude was the same as always, and the Wang family even showed some reluctance, but Ji Xiaoyun was elated, as if she was a bird out of the cage.

Ji Xiaotang watched from the side for a while, and could only sigh secretly. She quickly came out of Mrs. Ji's room and went straight to the small meeting hall at the second gate. Mama Cheng was already waiting for Ji Xiaotang in the conference hall with two close-fitting little girls.

"What do you command, girl? This time I will go to Huaiyuan, I will definitely do my best to protect the second girl to come back as soon as possible. ”

"I do have something to say to Mama, but not those words." Ji Xiaotang sat in the conference hall and said to Mama Cheng with a smile, "On the contrary, after I let Mama arrive in Huaiyuan, I pretended to be sick and didn't pay attention ......to anything."

"Girl, this is going to be ......"

"Lead the snake out of the hole." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, "It's time for the second girl to grow up and open her eyes." continued to spoil her and protect her like in the past, but in the end it hurt her. ”

"Both the lord and the wife agreed?"

"Yes, this is the result of my discussion with my parents." Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"Great goodness." Mama Cheng nodded in agreement.

Ji Xiaotang and Mama Cheng said some details in a low voice, and then sent someone to send Mama Cheng out of the house.

On the tenth day of the first month of May, Qin Boyang left Qingyuan with Ji Xiaoyun and the Wang family, and the convoy of more than a dozen carriages rushed away from Huaiyuan. Ji Xiaoyun not only took away 1,000 taels of dowry silver, but also a few hundred taels of silver that she had accumulated before she got married, as well as a lot of heads, rulers and other things.

Ji Xiaoyun left, and Mrs. Ji almost fell ill. She seemed to have a premonition, and from now on, she was afraid that it would be difficult to see her most beloved granddaughter again.

Ji Xiaotang didn't feel sad at all.

During the wheat harvest season, the drought that has been showing signs since last winter finally showed everyone its power. The yield of the high-grade fertile fields in Ren'an Mansion has been reduced by more than 50 percent, and the situation of the middle- and low-class fields has become worse and worse.

Food prices have risen sharply.

However, in this case, it is mainly the ordinary people who are directly affected, and the wealthy and powerful eunuchs have not taken these things seriously.

The summer harvest has been reduced, and the autumn harvest will not be like this. Even in the autumn harvest, there is still next year.

Although Ren Anfu reported the disaster, it did not attract the attention of the imperial court. The eyes of the imperial court were more focused on the south. In places like Ren'an Mansion in the north, even if there is a drought for a year, that is, the people live hard, they can't die. However, the great water in the south can directly sweep away countless lives, making thousands of miles of fertile fields instantly turn into an ocean.

Master Ji Er and Master Ji have been in correspondence, and Master Ji Er naturally told Master Ji about the drought in Ren'an, and Master Ji even wrote to complain to Master Ji Er, saying that the flood in the south.

Master Ji is now in the Ministry of Industry, and he is in charge of the water control in the south.

"Your uncle said in the letter that the imperial court will soon arrange for the Qin to go south to inspect the water situation and provide relief and grain." In the study, Second Master Ji handed the letter he had just read to Ji Xiaotang, and asked Ji Xiaotang and Third Master Ji to read it as well. "This time the flood in the south is strict, and it is said that it is a once-in-a-century occurrence. The imperial court also made great efforts, saying that it was 500,000 taels of silver prepared for disaster relief! ”

Part of the 500,000 taels of silver was used to buy grain to help the people affected by the disaster, and most of it was used to build river defenses.

Ji Xiaotang quickly read the letter and handed it to Master Ji San next to him.

When Second Master Ji talked about 500,000 taels of silver, Ji Xiaotang suddenly thought of something.

It is now the early summer of the seventh year of Longqing, and at this time in the previous life, Master Ji San had not lost the ancestral house and ancestral tomb, but soon, the disaster of the Ji family was coming.

The disaster did not first fall on the Ji family's Qingyuan old mansion, but on the old man Ji who was an official in the capital.

As Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Works, Master Ji was selected as one of the officials who went south for disaster relief and the construction of river defenses. And then broke out in the two major cases of embezzlement and disaster relief silver that shocked the government and the opposition, and Master Ji was involved.

At that time, Master Ji once wrote to ask Second Master Ji to sell all his family property and help him pay back the greedy silver, so as to save his life and the lives of his grandsons. Master Ji also showed Master Ji that there was a matter of greedy ink and silver, but he did not participate in it, but was framed in it.

But unfortunately, the case of embezzlement of silver for disaster relief broke out, and the matter of Master Ji's involvement soon spread to Qingyuan. Second Master Ji received the letter here, and was about to think of raising money for Master Ji's life, but Master Ji Third lost the ancestral house and ancestral tomb together in the casino.

The Ji family in Qingyuan was too busy to take care of themselves, and the ink corruption case in the capital had come to an end, Master Ji and a group of officials who were greedy for ink were beheaded for public display, and the people in his room were either exiled to the army or sold into slavery.

The Ji family was destroyed first, and then, the Ji family in Qingyuan was also difficult to turn the tide, and the defeat was out of control, and the last family was displaced, and they could only flee to the south with a large number of people.

Ji Xiaotang died on the way to escape.

Master Ji can't follow this Qincha south anyway. (To be continued......)
