Chapter 163: Exploring Flowers

Han knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he blushed.

Ji Ji didn't want his wife to be embarrassed, so he changed the topic: "Grandfather, what news is there?" ”

Han Shi felt a little more comfortable, and muttered: "The letter has only been sent out for a few days, how can it be so fast!" ”

"Then you have to pay more attention when you see it." Ji Ji instructed a few words and went to the yamen.

Han thought about it and went to Ji Lingze.

It happened that the fourth young grandmother of the Han family, Liu, and the tenth lady of the Han family, Han Su, were guests at Ji Lingze.

The Han family in a room has a particularly intimate atmosphere because of this.

That Liu is the girl of Yixing Liu, and married to Huzhou Han, who has been familiar with Han since he was a child, and when he met, he pulled Han and said "congratulations" loudly, took the tea of the maids and served it with his own hands, sat next to Han affectionately, said a few words, and asked about Ji Yong's marriage: "...... My aunt can't just let her cousin be like this, she still has to be tough when she should be tough. ”

Ji Ling pursed his lips and smiled and exchanged a look with Han Su.

There are many girls in the Liu family, and the Liu family has two sisters-in-law who have not been out of the cabinet, one of whom has also been a pair of Ji Yong, and has been appreciated by the old lady of the Ji family.

Han was having a headache about Ji Yong and Dou Zhao, and when he heard this, he was unhappy in his heart, and frowned and said: "Seeing that Ming grew up in the old lady's house since he was a child, his marriage naturally has to be decided by the old lady. I am an inner house woman, no matter how much knowledge and vision can be compared with the old lady, I will leave this matter alone and wait to be a mother-in-law with peace of mind! ”

But I thought in my heart that if the old lady quickly set a family affair for her son in order to break her son's thoughts, she must not be a girl from the Liu family, if she doesn't say anything else, with the girl of the Liu family who is so talkative, her son will definitely not like it.

Immediately gave birth to a little regret.

She originally wanted to come to inquire about the fourth lady of the Dou family, but the Liu family is here, it seems that she can't ask!

Han patiently greeted Liu.

Ji Yong was talking to Dou Qijun.

In this test, Dou Qijun's name fell to Sun Shan.

"Why rush back in such a hurry?" Ji Yong tried his best to keep Dou Yongjun, "It's better to wait for the results of the court test to come out, you can also take a look at the current texts of those champions, and in contrast, you can also know what you are lacking." He added, "I also have something to go to Zhending, and when the time comes, we will go back together to make a decision." ”

Ji is already living in Kyoto, what else does he have to do?

Dou Qijun was surprised.

Ji Yong said with a smile: "The fourth sister and Lu coincided with my big competition, and they didn't even give a congratulatory gift." After the court exam, I will take the Jishi exam, and I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to leave Kyoto after going to the Hanlin Academy to observe the government, so I just take this opportunity to go out for a walk. ”

He said it very frankly, and everyone knew that Dou Zhao had already made a marriage, Dou Qijun did not doubt it, and said with a smile: "You want to sneak out to play, but you pulled me on your back." Forget it, whoever makes you my elder will suffer a little loss. "I promised to go to Zhending with Ji Yong.

Ji Yong was very happy, and asked Zi to set the table and noodles, and the two of them were eating, and they talked about this test until the middle of the month.

Within a few days, it was the first day of the first month of March.

Ji Yong changed into a brand-new royal blue Hangzhou silk straight jacket and went to the West Garden.

One day after the court tried, Ji Yong unexpectedly ordered Tanhua.

The third aunt and six uncles of the Ji family all came to congratulate.

Ji Yong felt that a breath of depression was difficult to dissipate in his heart, and his face was gloomy.

He took out the wooden hairpin for Dou Zhao's carving and stared at it for a long time, threw the box on the corner of the bed with a "snap", and lay on the drunken chair in the study to pretend to sleep, letting the guests outside overflow, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows did not move.

Zixi was so anxious that he turned around, but no one dared to urge him to welcome the guests.

Han Shi, who was wearing a bright red gold gown, walked in, and when she saw Zixi standing at the door of the study, she couldn't help lowering her voice: "What's wrong?" ”

Zixi quietly told Han that Ji Yong had thrown the box containing the wooden hairpin in the corner of the bed.

Han was surprised and delighted. What is surprising is that the son is really very interested in the fourth miss of the Dou family, and the happy thing is that maybe the son is embarrassed to appear in front of the fourth miss of the Dou family, and in the long run, it may not be a good thing.

She was about to tell Zixi to take care of Ji Yong, when she heard a "squeak", the door of the study opened, and Ji Yong walked out of it.

He was not surprised to see his mother.

The people who came to congratulate him in high school this year, he didn't show up, and his mother came to see him worriedly, which was expected.

He nodded to his mother, said, "I'll go to the front yard to entertain guests", and then handed the camphor wood box in his hand to Zixi, and said, "This is my congratulatory gift to the fourth lady of the Dou family, you hurry up and send it to Zhending in person." ”

was so generous and generous, but it made Han and Zixi a little unnatural. Fortunately, Zixi is a shrewd person, and quickly put away that little embarrassment, stepped forward respectfully, took the box, and left.

Ji Yong had something in his heart, and he didn't pay too much attention to the appearance of his mother and Zixi, and when Zixi walked away, he asked his mother: "Do you want to come to my house to sit for a meeting?" I changed my clothes and went to the front yard. ”

"Okay!" Which one of his son's songs is sing, Han didn't know the bottom of his heart, and followed his son into the hall.

It was already five days after Dou Zhao received Ji Yong's incident, and she couldn't help laughing when she read the letter in the camphor wooden box.

It just so happened that Su Xin came in with a newly made peach cake from the kitchen, and said with a smile: "What did Young Master Ji say in the letter?" ”

Dou Zhao put the letter away and said with a smile: "He said that when the court test began, the emperor walked around the main hall and saw that he was young and young, and looked at him carefully. He suspected that the emperor hadn't read his article at all, but because he was young and young, he ordered him to do Tanhua. He carefully read the article of the champion Cai Guyuan, and it was not as good as he wrote at all......"

Su Xin couldn't help but laugh.

Dou Zhao tasted the peach cake and said, "Cousin Ji is still like a child. I knew my birthday, but I had to wait until I won the Tanhualang to send a congratulatory gift. If he fails in this subject, I'm afraid he won't pay attention to me for several years. After all, I still remember what I said about him and Dou Ming. ”

Su Xin nodded, poured a cup of tea for Dou Zhao, and said, "Young Master Ji, although he is very proud, he is frank and easy to get along with. ”

"Who's to say it's not." Dou Zhao smiled and went to the study, "I'll send him a letter back - it is estimated that people all over the world think that he must be proud and full of ambition at this moment, I am afraid that only he thinks that this Tanhualang is a kind of humiliation, and he doesn't even want to mention it!" ”

Thinking about it, I think that Ji Yong is really the one who can do this kind of thing.

She couldn't help but smile and helped Dou Zhao sharpen the ink on the side.

When Ji Yong received my reply from Dou Zhao, he was hesitating whether to go to the Hanlin Academy to take up a post.

Ji Yong's uncle Ji Song and father Ji Ji were in a hurry, and Ji Ji complained even more: "Why doesn't my grandfather have any news today?" What should I do if I see what is clear, if he doesn't have an idea, we can't do it! ”

Ji Song smiled bitterly.

The child asks to be seen.

Both of them were a little impatient to let Zixi come in and reply.

"The young master instructed me to go and talk to the people in the sedan hall," Zixi gasped, obviously trotting all the way, "he will use the sedan chair early tomorrow morning, and he will go to the official department to report." ”

Ji Song breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Ji stood up with an "ah" and said busily: "Why did Jianming suddenly change his mind again?" ”

Zi Xi evened out his breath, and then said: "The young master just received a letter from the fourth miss of the Dou family, the fourth miss of the Dou family doesn't know what was written in the letter, the young master looked at it and laughed, and then asked me to go and talk to the people in the sedan hall." ”

Ji Song and Ji Ji looked at each other.

Ji Qi hesitated for a moment and asked Zixi in a low voice: "What is written in the letter of the fourth lady of the Dou family?" ”

Zixi shook his head.

Ji Song pinched his beard and said softly: "Then find a way to see what is written in the letter of the fourth lady of the Dou family?" ”

Zixi was stunned, and couldn't help but look up at Ji Ji.

saw Ji Qi cough lightly for a moment, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, as if he hadn't heard this sentence.

Zixi secretly smiled bitterly, but had to agree, and the next day, taking advantage of Ji Yong's opportunity to go out, he found Dou Zhao's letter to Ji Yong and glanced at it hurriedly, and hurriedly went to Ji Song and Ji Ji to reply to the letter: "...... didn't say anything else, Miss Dou Si just wrote some tips on raising flowers in the letter. ”

"How do you raise flowers?" Ji Song was stunned.

"Yes!" Zixi lowered his hand and said respectfully, "Miss Dou Si said in the letter that to arrange a courtyard, in addition to raising evergreen boxwood and holly for a long time, it is also necessary to plant some flowers and trees that bloom in all seasons and plants in between, so that the scenery of the courtyard is pleasant." In spring, there are narcissus, Jianlan, camellia, rhododendron, and spring...... Narcissus is elegant, Jianlan is fragrant, camellia is fragrant, azaleas are scorching like the morning sun, only the spring flowers, the most common, the corner of the pavilion by the tree, as long as the weather is warm, it will bloom like a cloud brocade, the most forgettable, no matter who it is, when it comes to spring, it is necessary to talk about the spring flowers. To see how expensive this flower is, it is not about how expensive it is, but when it blooms...... Even if it is the thing in the streets and alleys, if it occupies the first color of early spring, it is the best flower in the world. Why bother with what kind of flower it is? ”

Ji Song frowned and said nothing.

Ji Ji muttered with a headache: "If only I could know what was written in the letter that Jianming wrote to Miss Dou Si?" ”

Zixi was sweating profusely.

The two masters won't let him go to the young master's mouth, right?

If it arouses the young master's vigilance, it will be troublesome!

Just when he was a little panicked, Ji Song waved his hand at him and said, "You go down!" Don't talk about it to anyone else. ”

Zi Xi hurriedly responded and retreated.

Ji Song said to Ji Ji worriedly: "Don't guess either." What Miss Dou Si said in her letter was obviously a metaphor, encouraging Jianming to work hard. It stands to reason that after ten years of hard work, such as Jianming is already considered a complete merit, so what is he not satisfied with? Would you rather talk to Miss Dou Si than to talk to the people at home? How did Miss Dou Si know that such persuasion could be effective? ”

They also often persuaded Ji Yong to study hard and make progress, but the more they persuaded Ji Yong, the more deviant they became, so that they didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

"yes!" Ji Ji said, "If we can know why the fourth lady of the Dou family can persuade Jianming, we won't be helpless against him!" ”

Ji Song sighed, and immediately wrote a letter to his grandfather, Mrs. Ji, after returning to the house.
