Chapter 41 The Lord of Fengyang
When the Ji Chengmu brothers came over, Ji Ruhuan had already packed up and sat in the side hall to eat, and when he saw the two brothers, he responded with a decent smile, "The second brother and the third brother have already eaten, do you want to eat with Huan'er?"
Ji Chengmo opened his mouth and responded, "What time is this, of course we have eaten, where are you as lazy as you are, and you don't eat until this time." β
Ji Chengmu looked at this sister carefully, and saw that her sister's expression was not abnormal, so she was relieved, and at the same time she was a little puzzled in her heart, she was so noisy yesterday, why is she like a person who is okay today?
Ji Ruhuan actually used it almost, she first asked her subordinates to beckon the two brothers to sit down and drink tea in the main hall, and she also called a maid to serve her to rinse her mouth and clean her hands, and soon cleaned up and went to the main hall.
After passing the main hall, Ji Ruhuan bowed down to the second brother and said, "Yesterday, it was Ruhuan who was ignorant and foolish, which made the second brother worried." β
Ji Chengmu looked at the expression on Ji Ruhuan's face, and looked sincere and unusual, so he replied with relief, "It's good that you figure it out." β
Ji Chengmo looked at his brother and sister with a puzzled expression, and asked suspiciously, "Ji Ruhuan, what did you do yesterday?"
Ji Ruhuan heard the words of the third brother, and knew that the second brother should be hiding this from the third brother, so he didn't plan to say more, but only answered, "What can I do?" β
Ji Chengmo heard Ji Ruhuan's words, and looked at the two of them with a resentful expression, "You didn't call me, I didn't even see my father when I came back, and my father went out without a sound." β
Ji Chengmu seemed to be planning to hide what happened yesterday, so he answered, "Who let you eat so much wine yesterday, I don't dare to take you there." β
Ji Chengmo didn't complain anymore, if he really went, let his father know that he had eaten again, I was afraid that he would be served with a military stick again, and if he didn't see it, he wouldn't see it, anyway, when his father came back, he would always see it.
After that, Ji Chengmu and Ji Ruhuan didn't mention yesterday's incident again, as if yesterday's incident did not happen, but discussed the canonization ceremony of the county lord three days later.
Now the Ji family in the capital is only General Ji, but now that General Ji has gone on the expedition, Ji Chengan is still being punished for committing crimes, and Ji Chengmu, the second young master of the Ji family, has to take care of the family's affairs.
In the next few days, Ji Ruhuan obediently prepared for the canonization ceremony, even if General Ji was not there, at the canonization ceremony of the lord of Fengyang County, whether it was a dignitary or a flat-headed commoner, there were also a sea of people who came to watch the ceremony.
is so lively, firstly, because many people want to see what kind of demeanor the legendary Fengyang County Lord is in Kyoto during this time, and the other is that His Majesty will come in person today to preside over this canonization ceremony instead of General Ji.
What a glory this is, there is envy and jealousy, what makes them even more curious is why this Fengyang County Lord can be so favored by His Majesty?
Ji Ruhuan was originally a little worried that the emperor would be unhappy because of her trouble that night, and would not come to attend her canonization ceremony, but he sent someone over early in the morning and said that he would come in person, and Ji Ruhuan was relieved.
Because of the haste of the canonization of the county lord, General Ji did not inform the Ji family, and he set out temporarily, so there were no elder men in the Ji family, that is, Ji Chengmu took Ji Chengmo, and the two brothers greeted the guests at the door.
In addition to a concubine, the Ji family has no heirs, although Ji Chengmu Ji Chengmo is a concubine, no one will say anything.
As Wu Yuexuan, who has a marriage contract with Ji Ruhuan, even if he doesn't want to see Ji Ruhuan, his fiancΓ©e, he has to follow his eldest brother to watch the ceremony and congratulate him.
The emperor came to sit in person, even if General Ji was not there, the canonization ceremony of the county lord was unprecedented, and even a little more lively, even those who disdained to come, heard that the emperor was there in person, and they all changed their minds temporarily.
canonized the county lord before he was ready, Ji Ruhuan was also the first person, and when he saw Ji Ruhuan under the costume, he had such an excellent appearance before he was ready, and I don't know how many people were envious.
However, Ji Ruhuan herself didn't feel much, numbly taught by the palace to carry out all kinds of etiquette, but her mind was a little wandering.
It was only when he thanked His Majesty that he saw Lord Wu, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, who was not far away, that is, Wu Yuexuan's eldest brother, that Ji Ruhuan's eyes lit up.
The emperor did not regard himself as an outsider, and he did not plan to leave after the canonization ceremony, but sat directly on the throne, accompanied by several important ministers in the court, but ate lively.
Old Madam Ji was originally worried that His Majesty was here in person, and there were so many important ministers in the court, and there was no suitable person to entertain her, but now she was relieved.
The originally slightly sickly face was even more covered by joy, and with a smile, he pulled the county lord's granddaughter to entertain the daughters, and happily received the praise and compliments of the daughters.
Following her grandmother, greeting and thanking all the daughters with a smile, Ji Ruhuan felt that her face was stiff with a smile, and finally found a gap to slip away, hid in a small pavilion by the lake, and instructed Qingju on the side, "You go to find Wu Yue and Little Master Wu to come over, and say that I want to see her." β
Qingju was a little hesitant, Ji Ruhuan frowned and urged, "Go quickly, I already have a royal marriage contract with him, and anyone else dares to say irresponsible things?"
Qingju stammered in response, "The slave is not worried about what others will say, the slave is afraid, afraid that Young Master Wu will not want to come." β
Ji Ruhuan paused, but she ignored it, because of the incompatible relationship between herself and Wu Yuexuan, plus the trouble last time, he was so embarrassed, he was afraid that he would not come to see him.
After thinking about it, he said, "If he doesn't come, you tell him that if he misses this time, he will regret it for the rest of his life." β
Qingju was still a little hesitant, "Miss, is it really possible?"
Xiaohua behind Ji Ruhuan frowned and reprimanded, "You can do whatever Miss tells you to do, where can you get so much, go quickly." β
Qingju looked at Xiaohua dissatisfied, and when she saw Xiaohua's body shape and the expression on her face, she finally didn't dare to say anything, and turned around and left obediently.
Ji Ruhuan looked at this scene funny, and then turned her head to look at Xiaohua, this tall figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, where did Mother Qiu go to find such a future daughter-in-law for Xiao Jinzi?
Ji Ruhuan was curious, and simply asked, "Xiaohua, what did you do before?"
Xiaohua replied, "The slave maid's family used to be hunters. β
Ji Ruhuan sighed and responded, "No wonder, but since you are a hunter, why did you sell yourself again?
Xiaohua said, "Uncle Qiu has a life-saving grace to the slave's father, the slave and the maid's family is poor, and he can't get a thank-you gift, I heard that Uncle Qiu has a son, so he agreed to give the slave and maid to Uncle Qiu as a daughter-in-law, and when the slave and maid are older, my father let the slave and maid sell themselves into the Zhenguo Mansion." β
Ji Ruhuan was dumbfounded when she heard this, this way of repaying her kindness was really a bit special, thinking that Xiao Jinzi disappeared without a trace every time she saw Xiaohua, I don't know if they had considered the feelings of the parties?
