Chapter 269: Going to the Banquet
"General Wei, I'm just here to deliver an invitation." Ji Taishi's subordinates put a birthday banquet invitation and left, looking like they would lose too many words, and they didn't want to say anything at all.
After receiving the invitation, Wei Yuanning flipped through it, and heard that Master Ji invited the ministers on his birthday, this time it seemed to be particularly grand, basically all of the civil and military officials standing on the stage had invitations, whether they were from the same party or not, and whether there were any festivals before.
Since you are here to invite, you must not go, you must arrive tomorrow, as the virtuous son-in-law of Ji Taishi, you must not only arrive but also prepare a big gift.
Early the next morning, Ji Jinyun was dragged up, Wei Yuanning asked her to dress up and take her out, but Ji Jinyun still asked Wei Yuanning what was going on.
"Don't you remember your father's birthday?" Wei Yuanning frowned, curious about what this woman had in her head every day.
Birthday? Ji Jinyun really didn't know, but she probably knew what was going on when she saw the invitation card in Wei Yuanning's hand.
"Brother Yuanning!" The lord of Huayang County, who had not seen him for several days, walked to the hall in a hurry.
Wei Yuanning frowned slightly, looked at the county lord of Huayang and then at Ji Jinyun, and the expression on his face stiffened significantly.
"Brother Yuanning, why don't you take me with you when you go to celebrate Master Ji's birthday." The county lord of Huayang stared at Ji Jinyun deadly, as if he wanted to stare out a hole in her face.
"You're still grounded, why did you sneak out?" Wei Yuanning directly changed the topic.
"I want to come along!" The county lord of Huayang was not convinced, she also had to go on the occasion when Ji Jinyun went, why could this cheap maid always be by General Wei's side, she was the one who was the most right with Wei Yuanning.
Ji Jinyun didn't speak, looking at the county lord of Huayang as if she was watching a joke, at this time and that time, she had been harming herself behind her back, and now the clan that forbids her is light.
"It's all because of you! You! When the county lord of Huayang saw Ji Jinyun's expression, the anger in her heart was aroused at once, and she couldn't control her emotions and wanted to jump directly to grab Ji Jinyun's face.
"Take your young lady back! There are still seven days to be grounded, and if you dare to come out again in the middle, you are welcome to blame me! Wei Yuanning blocked in front of Ji Jinyun, he grabbed the wrist raised by the county lord of Huayang, his face was very ugly, and he directly ordered the maid to take her away.
Why is that? Tossed such a thing in vain, Ji Jinyun sighed, she was in a bad mood, poor people must have something to hate, although the current lord of Huayang County has been angry since she married in, but sometimes she is self-inflicted and can't blame others.
After preparing a good tonic and a calligraphy and painting that took a long time to get, Wei Yuanning showed it to Ji Jinyun, wanting to ask her opinion and see how about giving Ji Taishi such a gift.
"I don't know how to write and paint, just think it's good." Ji Jinyun hurriedly glanced at it and began to busy her own business.
Wei Yuan pursed his mouth, put away his things like a child, and waited for Ji Jinyun to leave together after he finished his work.
Ji Taishi's mansion.
Ji Jinyun and Wei Yuanning had already felt the lively atmosphere when they arrived at the door, and the sedan chairs parked in front of the Ji Mansion were about to line up on the opposite street, so you can imagine how many people there are in the prefect mansion now.
Originally, I planned to come with Ji Jinyun and Wei Yuanning, but Ji Jinyun brought Xiao Cui, this is the first time I have returned to my parents' house after crossing over, if there is anything I don't know, Xiao Cui can also remind me by my side.
"Isn't this Jinyun? It's a lot more beautiful when I haven't seen it for a few days. A woman's voice came from behind her, and Ji Jinyun turned her head to see a woman who was a little bloated but dressed in gold and silver.
"This is the second aunt." Xiaocui poked Ji Jinyun and whispered next to her.
"Second aunt is good." Ji Jinyun saluted slightly, and her professional smirk always wore on her face.
"You're polite, how tired you are to pretend like this." The second aunt sneered, and her tone of voice was particularly contemptuous, which made Ji Jinyun confused, and she was stopped by Xiaocui just when she wanted to pay her respect.
"Second aunt, I'll go see my father first, and we'll talk later." Thirty-six plans to go are the best plan, Ji Jinyun turned around and left directly, pulling Xiao Cui over as she walked, and wanted to understand with her what the situation was, why did she have so many enemies?
According to Xiaocui's description, the second aunt of her family was not a bad person, but it was a pity that she had no son back then, and it was Ji Jinyun herself who completed all this, and the second aunt has always hated Ji Jinyun in her heart, and she can't wait to cut her body into thousands of pieces, so the relationship between the two can be said to be very bad, and Ji Jinyun's friendly greeting just now did not exist before that.
It's really head-catching, how many pits did the former owner of this body leave for herself, she is really about to collapse.
"Eh! My eldest daughter and son-in-law are back! Ji Taishi was surrounded by a group of people, and immediately stood up to greet Ji Jinyun and Wei Yuanning who entered the door.
"Father." The two stepped forward to salute, and Master Ji helped Ji Jinyun up, looked at her and nodded.
After a few simple chats, Ji Jinyun felt that he couldn't sit still, what Wei Yuanning and Ji Taishi talked about was about the government, he really didn't know very well, he just sat there with big eyes, and after drinking tea, he had to echo them, it was just a live-action statue, it was better to go out and walk around by himself.
got up and left, Ji Jinyun staggered around the yard, there was still a long time before the point of eating, Xiaocui took Ji Jinyun to slowly get acquainted with here, they first returned to the place where Ji Jinyun lived before, Xiaocui said that it was still the same as when she just left, and it had not changed at all.
Looking at the thick layer of ash on the table, Ji Jinyun felt that something was wrong, it seemed that Ji Taishi had never entered this room since he left, let alone let his subordinates clean it up, Ji Jinyun knew from Xiaocui that she was the adopted daughter of Ji Taishi, and she also understood the purpose of marrying Wei Yuanning, so she actually didn't have much affection for this Ji Taishi in her heart for a long time, he didn't regard himself as a daughter at all, but just regarded himself as a chess piece in this court, at his mercy and let him place, As long as he wins in the end, then it doesn't matter if others sacrifice or not.
"Let's go, take a walk in the yard." Ji Jinyun sighed and began to secretly lament her tragic fate.
