Chapter Ninety-Nine: I Can't Stay in Kyoto
General Ji coughed awkwardly and responded, "Not only can you explain the ins and outs, who can make a fuss about her." ”
Of course, he is not good at telling the truth, in order to perfunctory his mother's casual lie, and he is anxious to see this girl, because this girl has been missing for so long and suddenly appeared, and he is afraid that it has something to do with Xixia Daliang and will cause harm to Ruhuan, so he must meet him in person.
At the beginning of the Northern War, so many soldiers were killed and disappeared, as long as they didn't deliberately mention it, who in the court would pay attention to the disappearance of a subordinate girl.
However, this girl came back suddenly, and General Ji was a little worried in his heart, afraid that someone would make a fuss about this matter, and he had to deal with it in advance.
took Xiaohua back to the Lingering Pavilion, Ji Ruhuan asked again, and asked Xiaohua to tell her experience again, but it was not different from what she said before, and she really knew about the situation on Penglai Island.
Ji Ruhuan was ordered to recuperate at home during this time, and the family was afraid that she would worry, which would affect the doctor's recuperation, and hide everything from her, even Qingju, who had always been unable to control her mouth, could close her mouth tightly and not open her mouth.
What is the situation outside now, Ji Ruhuan really doesn't know very well.
Now that I heard my father say this, I really believed it, and I was a little worried about whether those people would use this matter to deal with the Ji family.
So after discussing with Qiu's mother, Ji Ruhuan simply sent Xiaohua to take refuge in Zhuangzi, which is a little farther away, and don't stay in Kyoto for the time being.
Sometimes I think about it, Ji Ruhuan feels a little unworthy for his father, and he has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, stationed at the border and dealt with the northern Tartars for many years, and has been injured countless times.
However, these dignitaries and nobles who were pampered and enjoyed the glory and wealth in Kyoto of the Ming Dynasty only knew how to fight and calculate for their own personal interests.
After my father worked hard to resist foreign enemies, he couldn't live in peace when he returned to Beijing, and he had to deal with these messy conspiracies and calculations.
In particular, there is one point, Ji Ruhuan really can't figure it out, that is, why did Prime Minister Song get involved with the four princes, and he always wanted to put his father to death?
Ji Ruhuan felt that it was still necessary to inquire about the situation outside.
However, before she could inquire about the situation outside, her father came, sent everyone out, and said with a worried face, "I can't stay in Kyoto, can Huan'er go back to her hometown in Jizhou to recuperate for a while?"
Ji Ruhuan looked at the gloomy look on his father's face and said worriedly, "Is something wrong?"
General Ji sighed, and didn't intend to hide it from Ji Ruhuan, so he answered, "I'm afraid that this time I will completely offend the Queen Mother and the Wu family, and my father will soon return to the north to garrison, although no one has mentioned what you have to do with Western Xia now, but you are still not at ease as a father if you stay in Kyoto." ”
Ji Ruhuan said, "Daddy's leg injury still needs to be recuperated, why do you want to go to the north now?"
General Ji responded, "If you don't go to the north, I'm afraid that the military power in the north of this town will completely fall into the hands of others, and for the stability of this Ming dynasty, I have to go for my father." ”
Ji Ruhuan said angrily, "Father worked hard for Daming, but these people think about dealing with my father and our Ji family all day long. ”
General Ji sighed and replied, "The princes are all big and fledgling, I don't want to get involved, but I have become a thorn in their side...... Hey, I'll tell you what to say. Although the emperor has always loved you, he will attract jealousy and be unfavorable to you, after all, the emperor has all the opportunities and cannot protect you all the time. ”
"When your father goes out, you might as well go back to your hometown in Jizhou to avoid it, it's safer to stay away from Kyoto. ”
Ji Ruhuan responded, "Then I'll go to the north with my father." ”
General Ji shook his head, "No, there are still people in the court who are holding on to the matter of you getting off the ship from the port of Western Xia, if you go to the north again, I am afraid that you will give those people an excuse again." ”
Ji Ruhuan looked at his father, "Do you have to go back to your hometown in Jizhou?"
General Ji nodded, "It's just your family business, I'm afraid it's going to be delayed." ”
Ji Ruhuan showed a smile, "It's okay, this Kyoto is smoky, I'm not happy to stay, it's better to go to Jizhou, as for family affairs, I haven't finished yet, how can I delay." ”
General Ji saw that Ji Ruhuan agreed, and he was also slightly relieved, with a smile on his face, "Then I'll go talk to your grandmother later, and prepare early." ”
Ji Ruhuan said in surprise, "Grandmother is also going back to my hometown in Jizhou with me?"
General Ji nodded, "Your second brother and third brother also plan to follow me to the north this time, and there is no one at home to do their filial piety in front of me, so why don't I go back to my hometown in Jizhou with you." ”
Ji Ruhuan tilted his head and thought about it, at this time in his previous life, the second brother and the third brother did not go to the north with their father, but they did not participate in the scientific examination.
When General Ji went over to Mrs. Ji's side, Ji Ruhuan simply followed.
However, when General Ji said that he asked Mrs. Ji and Ji Ruhuan to go back to their hometown in Jizhou, Mrs. Ji refused.
"You are all gone, there is always someone to support this town's Guogong Mansion, the old body is old, and the back and forth is not moving, so let's guard this town's Guogong Mansion. ”
General Ji was still a little uneasy, "Mother, let's all leave, there is no one at home to take care of it, you better go back to Jizhou with Huan'er." ”
Old Madam Ji snorted coldly, "I'm an old woman, and there are still people who can't get along with me, and besides, the big and small ones are all gone, and the children are so old, who gives them Zhang Luo's family affairs, these big and small, one by one, they all have to worry about it." ”
I heard that I had to arrange family affairs for them, but Ji Ruhuan frowned, and hurriedly said, "Grandmother, it was because of Huan'er's family affairs that she caused a lot of trouble, so it's better to put this family affairs on hold for a while." ”
Old Madam Ji glared at Ji Ruhuan, "You are not in a hurry when you are young, but your brothers are not young, where can you put it aside? At least settle Mu'er's family affairs first." ”
General Ji nodded approvingly, "What the mother said is that the son is usually too busy and has no time to pay attention, but the children are delayed.
"I looked at a good girl, but Huan Yatou had an accident, so she was delayed, she was Prime Minister Song's concubine, she looked thoughtful and had a good temperament. ”
Ji Ruhuan looked at Old Madam Ji in surprise, "But it's called Song Qian?"
Old Madam Ji replied with a smile, "Yo, do you know each other?"
General Ji frowned slightly, in his eyes before, although Prime Minister Song had disagreements with his political views in the court, he was also an upright and loyal minister, since Huan'er overheard the secret, he paid special attention to the Prime Minister Song.
It's hidden deeply, and he looks upright on the surface, secretly forming a party and forming a faction, and making stumbling blocks for him everywhere, which is not a good thing at all.
In such a situation, how can you marry the Song family?
"Let's look at each other again, the Song family can't do it. ”
Old Madam Ji looked at her son puzzled, "Why not, Prime Minister Song's character and reputation are well known to the world, and the well-known Ming Dynasty virtuous ministers, the upbringing of children must not be bad, is it, because she is a concubine? But Mu'er is also a concubine in the end." And this Mrs. Song also plans to pass the girl to her name, so that she can be regarded as a concubine. I've already gone to find out, and Mrs. Song is also interested. ”
There are some things that General Ji can't say more to his mother, so he has to say strongly, "In short, the girl of the Song family can't do it, please ask my mother to work harder and see each other again." ”
Ji Ruhuan suddenly spoke, "Grandmother is so optimistic about the Song family girl, it must be a good one, while we are still in Kyoto, why don't you let Huan'er inquire again?"
General Ji looked at Ji Ruhuan puzzled, her mother didn't know about Prime Minister Song, but Huan'er was the first to find out, why did she still ......?
Seeing his daughter winking at him, General Ji suppressed the doubt in his heart and nodded, "That's okay, let's take a look, but mother still don't make a decision yet, let's discuss it later." ”
Old Madam Ji snorted coldly, "If you don't believe in the old body, you can do it yourself." ”
Ji Ruhuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Where can I trust my grandmother, now that it is an eventful time, my father is also worried, if he marries the Song family at this time, he will definitely be feared." ”
Hearing Ji Ruhuan say this, Old Madam Ji felt that it made some sense, and nodded in response, "I didn't expect this." ”
Ji Ruhuan's father and daughter accompanied Mrs. Ji to talk for a while, and after Mrs. Ji was a little tired, the father and daughter came out.
As soon as he got out of Mrs. Ji's courtyard, General Ji couldn't wait to ask, "It's not that you don't know Prime Minister Song...... , why did you agree to look at the Song girl. ”
Ji Ruhuan responded, "Huan'er once probed the second brother's mouth, and the second brother likes that girl." ”
General Ji was surprised and said, "Mu'er has been in Yingtian Academy, how can it be?"
