Chapter 241: The Duan Family Settles Marriage
When Yuan Jiaojiao heard that Murong Yixue had still become the second princess, she was inevitably a little disappointed.
However, even if Murong Yixue becomes the second princess, their Yuan Mansion doesn't need to be afraid of her, anyway, they will be inseparable in the future, so they don't need to pay attention.
Although the Second Prince's Mansion and Murong Mansion both explained the events of the wedding day, many rumors still spread throughout Chang'an, and Murong Yixue originally wanted to elope with other men, but he didn't expect to be arrested by Zuo Xiang.
There are all kinds of rumors, and Murong Yixue naturally heard them, she was injured and was taken to the prince's mansion by the second prince to be raised.
She is now the second princess, but she is not as comfortable as when she was in Murong Mansion, and the subordinates in the prince's mansion have a lot of opinions about her, although they dare not say it explicitly, but they will always change the law to make it difficult for her, and even the maids around her will suffer with it.
originally thought that by becoming the second princess, she would be able to get rid of her father's oppression and use the second prince to protect herself, but when she really became the second princess, she felt how difficult life was, and the second prince didn't care about her at all as he imagined.
As for Su Guifei, after knowing that she was injured, she only asked someone to come to greet her, and she didn't even send anything, which shows that Su Guifei was very dissatisfied with her, the princess.
When the two families did not get married, Su Guifei and the second prince complimented and approached them in various ways, but when she really became the princess, the mother and son became cold, really just for her identity.
If she was not the daughter of the left minister, perhaps the second prince would not have tolerated a wife who ran away at the wedding.
But she couldn't tell him the facts, because the purpose of changing to Yuan Jiaojiao was also because she was unwilling to marry him.
Murong Yixue and Yuan Jiaojiao were both injured, but few people in Chang'an noticed what was going on in the Yuan Mansion.
Ji Yanning left the pearl in the Yuan Mansion, after all, the current pearl can be regarded as a good little medicine apprentice under her influence, and she is a suitable person to take care of the old lady and Yuan Jiaojiao's body on weekdays.
After arranging these, Ji Yanning was about to go back to Liufu, but as soon as he went out, he saw the people of the Duan family coming towards him.
She had seen Duan Wuflaw and Mrs. Duan, and the tall middle-aged man who came with them should be Duan Wufang's father, Duan Yin.
Ji Yanning looked at the fact that it was getting late, and the people of the Duan family were coming over now, could it be that there was something important.
She stepped forward and saluted.
Before Mrs. Duan could ask about Yuan Jiaojiao, Duan Yin looked at Ji Yanning and asked, "You are Liu Xi'er's daughter?"
In fact, he could recognize it at a glance, because Ji Yanning's appearance can be said to have inherited all the advantages of Liu Xi'er, and when he saw Ji Yanning, it was as if he had seen Liu Xi'er back then.
Ji Yanning bowed his head slightly and said, "Exactly, Yan Ning has seen General Duan." β
Duan Yin looked at her and sighed with some emotion: "Sure enough, she looks very similar to your mother." β
Mrs. Duan's eyes flashed slightly on the side, and she glanced at Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning naturally noticed Mrs. Duan's unnatural face, and she said with a smile: "Yes, others say that my appearance follows my mother, but my temperament follows my father." β
She was so down-and-out and generous, but Mrs. Duan couldn't make her angry.
Ji Yanning asked again: "Are you here to visit Jiaojiao? She has just woken up and needs to rest, why don't you come back tomorrow?"
Mrs. Duan said: "I came here to discuss some things with the old lady. β
Ji Yanning nodded as if he didn't understand, and then said, "Then the junior won't bother you, take your leave." β
She bowed slightly, and then walked out of the door with the maid.
Duan Yin looked at Ji Yanning's back, and felt a little inexplicable in his heart.
Mrs. Duan snorted lightly and said to Duan Wufang, "Son, let's go." β
Duan Yin came back to his senses and saw that Mrs. Duan's expression seemed to be aware, and he said: "It's just that she is a child, and it is not easy for her parents to leave early." β
"I don't think it's easy, you just think of her as a daughter. Mrs. Duan said, "Anyway, she is Liu Xi'er's child, you definitely won't mind." β
Duan Yin said: "Where are you talking about this, people have fathers, why should I recognize her as a daughter." β
"Who knows. Mrs. Duan ignored him anymore and walked towards the main hall of the Yuan Mansion.
Duan Yin turned his head and was about to talk to Duan Wufang, when he saw Duan Wufang's cold appearance, he immediately followed Mrs. Duan.
Duan Yin: "......"
Ji Yanning returned to Liufu, and it didn't take long to receive the news from there.
She really didn't guess wrong, the Duan family went to the Yuan Mansion to come for the sake of the two families' relatives.
Duan Wuflaw and Yuan Jiaojiao decided on a family affair.
A Jiangyang female thief and a cold-faced Dali Temple Shaoqing.
Ji Yanning thinks it's good, at least the Duan family is very suitable for Yuan Jiaojiao, there are no various relatives who are too complicated and cumbersome, and Duan Wufang is indeed a responsible person.
There are many rumors in Chang'an City that General Duan still has Liu Xi'er, his childhood sweetheart and fiancΓ©e, in his heart, so he is extremely cold to Mrs. Duan, and even only gives birth to Duan Wuflawless as a child.
In fact, this is not the case.
Mrs. Duan was frail, and giving birth was a burden for her, so she finally left Duan Wuflawless, and walked through the ghost gate, Duan Yin sympathized with her, so she didn't continue to have children, and there were no other concubines in the house.
Others only saw that the Duan family had only one child, but they couldn't see Duan Yin's compassion and concern for his wife.
Ji Yanning didn't know what Duan Yin's feelings for Liu Xi'er were, but no matter what, Liu Xi'er was no longer there, so it was useless to say more.
Bao Chang Kee's business is getting better and better now, after joining other businesses, although there are some minor problems, Wu Geng and Qin Jue have handled it well.
She has a good vision, she chose Qin Jue at the beginning, and she can help herself at a critical moment.
After what happened to Yuan Jiaojiao, Ji Yanning left a secret guard for Yuan Jiaojiao, and then prepared to embark on the journey north.
I had only talked about this matter with Liu Mu and An Shi before, so after Liu Yuan knew about it, he didn't agree with her leaving.
However, even Liu Mu couldn't stop Ji Yanning, let alone Liu Yuan, although he was an elder, Ji Yanning could only be regarded as an outsider living in the Liu family, and others naturally couldn't control where she went.
The military reports in the north came from time to time, and Xiao Shaobei suffered several losses, but fortunately, he did not cause major damage.
But in the report that Ding Zhen passed back, he put all the responsibility on Xiao Shaobei's head, and even bluntly said that such a hairy boy is really not suitable to be the commander of the northern border.
The people in the court knew this result well, and with Ding Zhen here, Xiao Shaobei was naturally bound.
At the beginning, there was a royal history play, saying that the two of them had contradictions, but the emperor couldn't listen to them at all.
Now against the Yan soldiers, how can they work together to fight against foreign invasion?
Ji Yanning is also worried that Ding Zhen is not an ordinary general, he has a lot of calculations in his heart, and Xiao Shaobei may not be his opponent.
The Zhili Hall of the White Egret Academy has left the academy, and many students have already left the academy, only Ji Lang is slowly packing up his things in the back, a little listless.
Seeing Ji Lang like this, the little noble boy and the little fat group came over and asked, "Ji Lang, hurry up! I saw that you didn't take your husband's lecture seriously just now, why did you still look like a coy person after class?"
"It's like, could it be that you're in some trouble?"
Ji Lang put away his books, and then followed the two of them out of the room and walked towards the door of the academy.
"I'm thinking about my future. Ji Lang looked deep, as if he was thinking about a major event in life.
The little noble prince said with a smile: "How can you think about this? Students who can study in our Egret Academy naturally want to take the road of the imperial examination, and then enter the court as an official, share the emperor's worries, do things for the people, and bear the rise and fall of the Great Wei State." β
The little fat dumpling said: "Tut-tut, I really can't see that you still have this awareness." β
"Isn't this taught by the gentleman!" said the little noble son, "If you can't see it, it only proves that you don't know how to see pearls." β
The little fat tuanzi cut a sound, walked to Ji Lang's side, and said: "Although we may not be able to bear the rise and fall of the Great Wei, but he is quite right, we are going to enter the court as officials when we grow up, is it possible that you still want to be a military general?"
Students who come out of Bailu Academy will have a variety of ways to enter the office, in addition to the scientific examination, they can also go through the back door, even if they fail to pass the Jinshi, it is not a matter for their families to arrange a position.
Ji Lang sighed lightly and said, "You forget, I am from a merchant's background. β
The little noble boy said: "That's not right, anyway, your family is not bad for money, just send some money, there will always be someone who is tempted." What's more, Ji Lang, you are so smart, don't worry about not being able to pass the Jinshi exam, if you can't pass the exam, few of us in Class B will be admitted. β
Despite their young age, they all come from families, and many things are naturally clear.
Ji Lang shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, I will go back to run our family's business in the future." β
The little noble boy and the little fat group who were about to walk out of the gate of the academy suddenly stopped and turned their heads to look at Ji Lang.
Fat Tuanzi said: "Are you crazy?"
The little noble son said: "Your uncle is a squire in the military department, and your grandfather's position is not low, so no matter what, you can't go back to run the shop, right?"
Fat Tuanzi corrected: "How can Jijia Baochangji be an ordinary shop, my father said that it is the first business in Jiangnan!"
The little noble boy glared at the fat tuanzi and said, "No matter how you say it, you are also a merchant, how can you compare it to being an official in the court?"
The Great Wei respected the scholars, after all, they had the right in their hands, and the status of the merchants was lowly in their eyes.
"Yes. The little fat group turned his head to look at Ji Lang and said, "Why do you want to go back to running the business?"
The three of them were talking, completely unaware that someone was watching them from behind.
"Aren't you going back?" a familiar voice came from behind.
The three little men turned around and saw that it was Mr. Jingyuan, and they were all stunned.
