43 Reminders
Moreover, listening to their words, this Ji Shuxuan, did he help his sister? When did this happen? Why didn't he know anything about it?
At this time, Pei Jinfeng sat here, no longer reluctant, just frowned, looked at this for a while, looked at that for a while, and listened to them talk.
Ji Shuxuan took out a neatly folded letter paper from the placket of his clothes, and said while unfolding it, "If Miss Pei San has anything to say, just say it to me directly, why bother with Hongyan to pass on the book, how troublesome?" I happened to see this letter, and when I saw the handwriting on the envelope, Miss Pei San, I was startled, and I thought it was Miss Pei San, you read that I did you a little favor a few days ago, so I had a different kind of affection for me, and wanted to make a promise to me. I opened the letter in horror and read it, but fortunately it wasn't. ”
Ji Shuxuan's words were still not serious, Pei Jinfeng seemed to be used to it, but frowned slightly, but he didn't have the previous disgust.
I don't know if it's because he knows that this person treats his sister kindly, and his sister says that he is a sincere gentleman, or because although this person seems to be very improper, his eyes are clear and there is no blasphemy. In short, this Ji Shuxuan doesn't seem to be very similar to the rumors.
Pei Jinzhen didn't care at all, and pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Why is it okay?" Earlier, didn't Ji Gongzi say that if you can marry me, your Ji family can change the court? If I really promise you all my heart, wouldn't it be good for you? ”
Ji Shuxuan was stunned, but he didn't expect that Pei Jinzhen actually joked with him, and used his earlier words to block him.
For a while, there was something strange in my heart.
It was the first time he had seen such a girl who was joking with him so freely, and she was still an official girl.
You know, Shinong Industry and Commerce.
Even if today's Liang is not as good as the previous dynasty, the status of businessmen has been improved a lot, but many things are still deep-rooted, for example, many people still look down on businessmen, even if there are some of them who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, but it is very common.
For example, except for Pei Jinzhen, no official woman would deign to speak to him as a merchant child.
is those noble children who often eat, drink and have fun with him, and on the surface they call him brothers, but who doesn't regard him as a wronged boss with a bulging pocket, who still recognizes you at a critical time?
But Ji Shuxuan is sure that Pei Jinzhen is not acting, because her eyes are honest and clear, and the smile on the corner of her mouth is also clearly reflected in the bottom of her eyes, which is not to be mistaken.
Ji Shuxuan's eyes looked at Pei Jinzhen, fixed, and after a while, he laughed again, "Miss Pei San, don't laugh, if you laugh again, I will regret it." ”
Regretted it? What do you mean? Pei Jinfeng frowned.
After Pei Jinzhen was stunned, he couldn't help but smile, and when he looked at Ji Shuxuan suspiciously, he had already changed the topic, and unfolded the letterhead as if nothing had happened, no longer caring about him, "What did Miss Pei San mean by sending this letter to me?" ”
"That day, Ji Gongzi helped me, saying that he didn't want to owe me favors. I am writing this letter today, and it is the same, in order to repay the favor of Ji Gongzi. ”
Pei Jinzhen said plainly, but Ji Shuxuan's gaze sharpened, "In order to repay my favor, Miss Pei didn't bother to think less, and even found out about our Ji family's affairs so clearly?" ”
"I learned by chance, thinking that I still owe Ji Gongzi a favor, yes, I take the liberty to remind you, then the Li family must not be a good match, don't be careless for a while, miss Sister Ling's life, and miss your Ji family's business."
Pei Jinzhen naturally knew why Ji Shuxuan stopped her on the way today and invited her to come to Wangjiang Tower, in fact, when she handed over the letter, she had already expected such a thing, so she was naturally not in a hurry, and said the words that she had thought about early in the morning.
Ji Shuxuan still looked at her sharply without reducing half a point, his Ji family intended to marry the Li family, the secretary of the ministry, and exchanged his eldest sister and a dowry of 200,000 taels of silver for him for a small official position, so that the Ji family took the first step to change the court. However, Ji Shuxuan was unwilling in his heart. In his opinion, his eldest sister is very good, compared to the daughters of those official eunuchs, she is not bad at all, but why can she only marry the widower of the Li family who lost his wife as a concubine? Whatever he said, he was unwilling to let his eldest sister sacrifice, whether it was for his future or for the future of the Ji family.
His future is up to him to earn, and the future of the Ji family should also be borne by their boys, not by the slender shoulders of the eldest sister's daughter's family.
For this reason, he has been confronted by his father and the elders of the family for many days.
However, others speak softly, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to shake the already iron heart of the elders in the family.
Ji Shuxuan only hates, he is not able to say anything about the Ji family now, he hates even more, he is powerless, if he harms his eldest sister for life, he is afraid that he will hate himself even more and regret not being at the beginning.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would get such a letter from Pei Jinzhen today, the letter was concise and to the point, but it persuaded him that the Ji family would dispel the mind of doing this family business.
This family affair has not yet been settled, but it has been talked about almost, but it has not been revealed to the public, how did Pei Jinzhen know?
But she only answered "accidentally".
What's more, the Li family is an official to the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the promotion and appointment of many officials, his eldest sister, but a merchant girl, although only as a concubine, can be married, but the eldest son who inherits the family business, and a widower who has lost his wife, and only has two daughters, and has no heirs.
After all, this marriage was not the initiative of the Li family, but his father rushed to talk about it, and it took a long time for the Li family to relax.
What's the matter, Pei Jinzhen said that the Li family is not a good match, and said that it will affect his Ji family's business?
All kinds of doubts in Ji Shuxuan's heart were staring at Pei Jinzhen's eyebrows.
Pei Jinzhen is as immobile as a mountain, even if Ji Shuxuan really doubts her, so what? Because what she said came from the memories of her previous life, not assumptions, even if Ji Shuxuan had any doubts, there was no trace and nothing to do.
She also struggled for a long time before deciding to remind him.
After all, she does owe him a favor.
Ji Shuxuan looked at her for a long time, but saw that she looked as usual from beginning to end, and couldn't help frowning, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it's such a big thing, I can't make a decision just based on a few words from you." What's more, I may not be able to make the decision on this matter. Ji Shuxuan's last sentence is not without frankness.
Pei Jinzhen frowned, "The reason why the Ji family wants to marry the Li family is probably to take advantage of the east wind of the Li family to change the courtyard and glorify the lintel." This is naturally a good intention, but what if, such a good intention, it backfires, not only can it not help the Ji family change its face, but it will drag down the Ji family's business? ”
