Chapter 596: Tang Pei'er
The next day, Shi Qingqian found a suitable time and ran to Ji Wenyu's Ji Mansion.
Now Ji Wenyu is already the head of the household, and the new mansion gate is built in an excellent location, and the faΓ§ade has also been built a lot. Over the years, Ji Wenyu has risen steadily, married a wife and had children, and lived a very stable life. When he got married a few years ago, Shi Qingqian also came to join in the fun.
The next person went in to report, and the one who came out to greet him was Ji Wenyu's Tang Pei'er, who had just passed the door for more than a year.
Tang Pei'er had a big belly, but she still held her waist with one hand, and greeted her with the support of her subordinates, Shi Qingqian was slightly surprised, "Mrs. Ji!" Your belly is so big, how can you still come out! β
"It's okay, it's okay, there's still two months." Tang Peier smiled and waved her hand.
This Tang Peier is also a southerner, although she is not from the same place as Ji Wenyu, but her tastes and habits are all in line with him, which should be the reason why Ji Wenyu did not take those official women, but chose her as the daughter of a businessman.
Tang Peier has a gentle atmosphere unique to southern women, which has a different charm from the eldest ladies she has seen. What Shi Qingqian likes especially is her official dialect with a slight southern accent, her tone is tactful, she speaks like singing, and she is always soft-spoken, so that people don't know her when they hear it, and they don't know her when they talk to her loudly.
It's just that Shi Qingqian likes that tone, but not everyone likes it, but some so-called 'celebrities' think that Tang Peier's accent is not in the flow and rustic, and she has no good background, so they snubbed her. Tang Peier also disdained to deal with them, and felt that she was very comfortable planting some lotus flowers and peeling lotus seeds in the pond at home.
"Why did the little county lord come today, is there something to find the master?" Tang Peier eagerly grabbed Shi Qingqi's hand and asked while bringing her in.
Shi Qingqian nodded, "Yes, is Gongzi Ji in the mansion at this time?" There are some questions I would like to ask. β
"It's dripping and dripping," Tang Peier said, pulling Shi Qingqian and going to Ji Wenyu's study.
The Ji family doesn't have so many rules, and the study can also be entered, especially Ji Wenyu and Tang Pei'er have always been harmonious, so Tang Pei'er thought about pulling Shi Qingqian directly in.
But when he thought that in the Hou Mansion, Shi Yuan did not allow others to enter his study at will, and Shen Shu was the same, so Shi Qingqian still shook his head, "Mrs. Ji, I'll just wait outside, I bother you to go in and talk to Gongzi, he promised me to go in again." β
Tang Peier couldn't persuade her, so she had to give up, and pushed open the door and walked in first.
After a while, Shi Qingqian heard a voice from inside, "Madam, why did you come here with a big belly?" It's not good to rest in the house. β
"It's the lord of Baoying who came, saying that he was looking for you, didn't I come to 'report'......"
The two chatted for a few words, and Ji Wenyu walked out with Tang Pei'er in her arms, and only then did she salute slightly after seeing Shi Qingqian, "Madame, let's go and rest first, I'll talk to the little county lord." β
Tang Peier nodded, and owed Shi Qingqian a debt, so she left.
Shi Qingqian followed Ji Wenyu into the study together. Ji Wenyu himself came from a poetry and book family, loves to read, and since he had his own mansion, he has been keen to collect all kinds of books, especially solitary books and travelogues, no matter what the subject is, all of them have been collected. Therefore, his room is extraordinarily large, but both walls have been repaired into bookshelves, and the bookshelves have not yet been filled, and there are thousands of sides.
Shi Qingqian came this time for his books.
"Little county lord, I don't know what you are doing when you suddenly visit today?" Ji Wenyu stretched out his finger and pointed to the stool in front of the table and asked Shi Qingqian to sit down.
"That's right, I heard that Ji Gongzi has a lot of books and a wide range of contents, so I want to ask if there are any books related to Cangli Kingdom, it's best to ...... It's the kind of businessman's travelogue, in short, the more authentic the better. Shi Qingqian said.
Ji Wenyu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Yes, but what are you looking for, little county lord?" β
"Well......" Shi Qingqian thought about it, but still took out the paper in his arms and handed it to Ji Wenyu, "I want to present it another day, so that the army of the Northwest Battlefield will enter the imperial capital of Cangli, but I think if this matter is brought to the court, someone will inevitably come out to stop it, I am a woman, and I don't have an advantage...... That's why I wanted to come to Ji Gongzi to check the information that might be able to be used, in case of emergency. β
Ji Wenyu nodded while going to the bookshelf to find the books she needed for Shi Qingqi, and after handing them to Shi Qingqian, she began to look down at the words on the blank paper, and after reading it, she frequently admired, "Little county lord, your strategy is already so comprehensive, you will definitely be able to pass it after submitting it!" β
Shi Qingqian flipped through the pages of the book, shook his head with a wry smile, "As the saying goes, 'Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top', even if the current Yu State has the strength to annex Cangli, but if it is not convinced and supported by the people in the court, everything will be useless." It is likely to cause a gap in the heart and affect the unity and harmony in the future. β
"That's ......" Ji Wenyu nodded approvingly, and then smiled lightly, "But the little county lord, you have thought about it so well, and when you go to the court another day, you will definitely be able to successfully persuade everyone!" β
Hearing this, Shi Qingqian could only smile bitterly, "Alas...... I'm looking forward to it too. β
Neither Shi Yuan nor Ji Wenyu asked her why she treated Cangli Kingdom so extremely, in fact, Shi Qingqian hoped that they would ask, because even if they didn't ask, someone would definitely ask about it in the end, so it was better to face the problem and make plans earlier.
It is precisely because they have such an attitude that Shen Mi will be like this, and if Shen Mi herself is dissatisfied with this, she may not bring it up directly, but will condone Shi Qingqian because of the friendship between the two, which is also the last thing she wants to see. That's why I decided to move the matter to the court to keep it fair and just as much as possible.
Shi Qingqian sighed slightly, and after packing a few books, he said goodbye to Ji Wenyu. Tang Peier also came when she was sent off, and eagerly invited Shi Qingqian to come often in the future.
"Mrs. Ji, don't worry, speaking of which, there are still two months to go into labor, you have to be careful everywhere during this time, if you have anything to worry about, you must come to me."
"With your words, I'm relieved." Tang Peier said with a smile.
"Don't worry, little county lord," Ji Wenyu hugged Tang Pei'er and said with a chuckle, "Tomorrow, Ji will definitely do his best to help." β
