After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 180 Wei Chi asks for marriage
On the way back to the city, Manager Zhou looked at Ji Yunzhang who was resting with his eyes closed.

"master."

Although he was so young, he had to bear such an old-fashioned title. It took Manager Zhou a lot of time to get used to it before he could call him that with ease.

"I saw many names on that fake account, but I didn't recognize any of them."

Ji Yunzhang did not move. "It's a fake account. It's for others to see. Naturally, there is no real name."

"There are more than a dozen fake accounts, and there are more than a dozen real accounts. The issue of military rations has become an old problem."

Manager Zhou nodded and said, "Back then, the Zhong family grain store was established because there was no food in the Northwest Camp."

"Those people in the court only care about eating and not doing anything. Every time they ask for food, they play football and no one solves the problem."

"Every year, the government has provided a lot of food. Since the war three years ago, there has been no food."

He leaned forward slightly and said, "Do you know how much more profit our government has made?"

Ji Yunzhang opened his eyes and looked at him, "How much more?"

The grain business in the mansion was initially managed by Mrs. Zhong, and after he got married, it was managed by Rong Peilan.

He has no idea how much profit he makes in a year, nor how much he spends in a year.

Manager Zhou held up three fingers, "30%!"

"Hiss!" Ji Yunzhang sat up straight, "So many?!"

At this moment he felt a little distressed.

Manager Zhou nodded, "That's not true! The mansion also distributes porridge and clothes every year, which is all hard-earned money."

Ji Yunzhang didn't want to talk anymore. He immediately understood the saying, "If you don't manage the household, you don't know how to manage firewood, rice, oil and salt."

Manager Zhou shook his head and continued, "It seems that this is not the first time that the Dong family has mixed up with military rations. Can they trust us so easily?"

Ji Yunzhang snorted, "Of course not."

"Wei Chi will be here in a few days. Isn't this ready-made labor?"

The summer breeze blows on my face.

A dark figure rode a fast horse to the city gate.

The soldier guarding the city was slightly surprised after seeing the pass of the visitor. He clasped his hands together and said, "Sir, the city guard is in the yamen now. I will lead you..."

"no need."

"I am not in Jinpeng for official business, I am just visiting an old friend."

The soldier guarding the city touched the back of his head. The gentleman from Yanjing was just visiting a friend. Did he need to report?

When Wei was late, Ji Yunzhang was playing horseback riding for his daughter.

Little Sui'an rode on his father's back, his two little hands tightly grasping the big horse's clothes, and his two little feet shaking happily.

The small bell attached to the headband on her head swayed, making crisp ringing sounds.

"Dad, hurry up~"

"Drive~"

Qi'an, who was standing by, was so itchy that she kept stamping her feet.

"Sister, it's my turn! It's my turn!"

This was the first time Wei Chi met the two children.

The two twins are obviously exactly the same, but when you look at them separately, you can tell that one looks like his father and the other looks like his mother.

Ji Yunzhang turned around on all fours and saw Ji Xing chattering and leading Wei Chi towards him.

No one said Wei Chi would come. Haitang was stunned for a moment when she saw him, as if she had not expected that she would meet him again in Jinpeng.

Rong Peilan stepped forward and picked up Sui'an.

"Wei Chi."

Then he hugged Sui'an and rocked him gently, "Sui Sui, call me Uncle Wei."

Xiao Sui'an was very sweet and immediately grinned and called out, "Uncle~" Wei Chi responded awkwardly, "Hey."

He quickly took out a round brocade box and a long brocade box from the bag on his back.

She stepped forward and handed it to Rong Peilan, "Madam, this is the first time I've seen two children. I didn't know what to buy, so I went to Ruyifang and asked the shopkeeper to help me choose."

She motioned Haitang to take the things, then turned around and smiled, "You're here, what else do you want to bring?"

Ji Yunzhang also picked up Qi'an and said, "Come here, Qi'er, call me uncle."

Qi An hesitated for a moment before calling out softly, "Uncle."

Ji Yunzhang patted his little butt, "Didn't you say you were a little man? Why are you speaking so softly?"

Qi An pouted, "I don't know him..."

Rong Peilan laughed, "Qingtan, Chenchun, take them both downstairs to play."

The two children waved to their mother reluctantly.

Qingtan rarely smiled at Haitang and even bumped into her arm before leaving. Haitang turned her face away and didn't look at her.

Rong Peilan looked back at Haitang who was lowering her head.

He turned back to look at Wei Chi, "Wei Chi, stay a few more days now that you are here. Jinpeng has a cool climate, which is much more comfortable than Yanjing."

Wei Chi shook his head. "I can only stay for three days. His Majesty is cleaning up redundant officials recently, and there are many conflicts in the capital. I will ask for leave and stay for a few more days after the affairs in the capital are settled."

He paused for a moment, then looked up and said, "I came to Jinpeng for another matter—"

He quickly glanced at Haitang and said, "I, I want to marry Miss Haitang..."

Rong Peilan and Ji Yunzhang smiled at each other, and the iron tree finally blossomed.

Haitang looked up in surprise and happened to meet his eyes.

Haitang's face instantly turned red, "You, you, are talking nonsense!"

Wei Chi shook his head seriously and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious."

Ji Yunzhang, "Marrying a wife is a lifelong matter, you should think it through carefully."

"Haitang has been released from prison and is now a decent woman."

"And you are an official now, so you can marry a girl from an official family in the future."

"You should think carefully about the relationship between these two things. Don't regret it later and use this matter to hurt Haitang."

Haitang's wildly beating heart suddenly calmed down.

Yes, they were not a good match before, and now they are even more different.

Wei Chi is the adopted son of the Marquis and is now also a sixth-rank military officer.

She had a promising future ahead of her, which was beyond the reach of a mere maid like her.

Rong Peilan nodded, "Yes, Wei Chi, Haitang and I have lived and died together. This is no ordinary friendship. If you betray her, I will not forgive you."

Wei Chi nodded solemnly, "I've thought about it, I've thought about it a long time ago."

Ji Yunzhang grinned and punched him on the shoulder. "Your iron tree has finally blossomed. My mother was complaining a few days ago that you will be thirty after the new year and still haven't started a family."

Wei Chi smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have made the old lady worried. I'll invite you to sit in the hall when the time comes."

Rong Peilan turned around and waved to Haitang, "Haitang, come here."

"You girls, I have already prepared dowries for you."

"Money, jewelry, phoenix corona and bridal robe. The old lady also prepared a small house in the suburbs of Beijing. It's not big, but it's enough for a family of three to live in. Don't despise it."

Haitang burst into tears instantly, "How could I despise you? This is something I never dared to think about before."

Rong Peilan wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Okay, as long as both of you agree to this, it's a happy event. Don't cry."

"Hurry up and set a date so that the baby can be born soon. Qi'an Sui'an will love playing with his brothers and sisters."

Haitang blushed, "Madam, please stop laughing at me..."
