Ninefold Purple

Ji Yong looked at the carriage going away with a gloomy expression.

Zishang's heart was pounding.

The young master has never been looked down upon like this at such a young age, and I don't know how to deal with this Mr. Chen?

However, this Mr. Chen seems to belong to the Fourth Miss of the Dou family.

The Fourth Miss of the Dou Family was also very powerful, she pretended to be deaf and dumb, and beat Pang Kunbai half to death.If she knew that the young master had punished her, would she ask the young master to settle the score? [

Although the young master has a strong personality, every time he meets the Fourth Miss of the Dou family, it is like fire meeting water. No matter how strong the fire is, she can chill the young master's heart with just a few words, making him breathless for a long time Come.

If the fourth miss of the Dou family had a dispute with the young master, would it hurt his little shrimp?

While thinking about it painfully, a man in charge hurried out from the side door.

He saluted Ji Yong: "Ji Juren, our Lord Hou invites you to serve tea in the flower hall."

Ji Yong nodded arrogantly at him, and with his hands behind his back, he took the lead to enter the gate of Jining Hou Mansion.

The steward was taken aback for a moment, hurriedly followed, and led the way ahead of him.

The flower hall of the Wei family is full of greenery, and there are bauhinia flowers with tree trunks as thick as a bowl outside, which are in full bloom, but the furnishings in the house are like a young woman who has passed the flowering season, and the old vicissitudes cannot be concealed even with paint and powder.

Ji Yong curled his lips, and sat down on a chair that looked relatively new.

The maids served tea.

The steward walked in with Marquis Jining.

After meeting each other, Jining Hou laughed and said, "Ji Juren is really a young man! I don't know why Ji Juren is looking for me?" He had a friendly attitude.The smile is kind, like an elder who cares for the younger generation.

However, Ji Yong's heart has turned a few times.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the silence of the Dou family to persuade the Wei family to keep the token of engagement with Dou Zhao back then, and to negotiate terms with the Dou family, so as to achieve the purpose of asking Zhang Yuanming to be crowned heir.It can also gain a moral foothold, allowing the Wei family to gain both fame and fortune.Unexpectedly, she met Chen Qushui at the gate of Jining Houfu.

Others may be fooled by Chen Qushui, thinking that he is just an unknown accountant of the Dou family.But he couldn't hide it from him—he had been used by Dou Zhao for the past two years, and the Dou family wanted to ask him to come up with an idea, not to mention supporting him, which was impossible with Chen Qushui's arrogance.

He came to the Marquis of Jining, he must have been ordered by Dou Zhao to resolve the matter of the token.Although I don't know what Chen Qushui told the Wei family.But judging by Chen Qushui's expression, with his ability, it is obvious that he has achieved his goal.

There is no need for me to come to see Marquis Jining again.

But for some reason, he was very unwilling to leave like this.

He didn't even want to go home and wait for news from the spies, so he rushed in rashly.

He wanted to know what Chen Qushui had said to Marquis Jining?Did the Wei family decide to return the token to the Dou family as he imagined, and then quietly divorce Dou Zhao when the limelight passed?Or suddenly found that Dou Zhao is not only capable.Moreover, there is a large amount of dowry, which can fully support this down-and-out Guihou family, temporarily change their minds, and decide to propose marriage to the Dou family?Or, something else happened that he didn't expect...[

It's like he never thought that Dou Zhao would send Chen Qushui to visit the Jining Hou Mansion, so he didn't send anyone to pay attention to Zhending's movements.

If he hadn't met Chen Qushui today, he might still be complacent that everything is under his control, right?

He didn't like the feeling of being out of control.

Ji Yong couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Shouldn't Dou Zhao sit obediently at home and wait for him to settle this matter for her?Why did she jump out without saying a word, ruining his arrangements and arrangements, not to mention, and even caught him off guard.Almost stumbled...

He hasn't encountered such a thing in many years!

Why is she doing this?

Don't they belong to the same camp?

He had said earlier that this matter would be resolved for her.Does she not believe that she has this ability?Or did he not take his words to heart at all?

Thinking about these messy things made Ji Yong feel impetuous, and of course he didn't have a good impression of Jininghou.

He said indifferently: "I ran into Mr. Chen, the accountant of the Dou family, at the gate of your mansion just now. He has been taking care of the fourth lady of the Dou family in Zhending. Marriage. I also heard that your family is planning to exchange the token of engagement with the He family for the title of Duke Jingguo’s son. So I came to visit Lord Hou and wanted to know whether Lord Hou was going to return the token to the Dou family or hand it over to the He family. ..."

Jining Hou's face turned dark instantly.

Whether the Wei family is going to return the token to the Dou family or to the He family is none of his business!

I only entertained him kindly for the sake of him being a child of the Ji family, but he was lucky enough to open a dyeing room after giving him some color. If you become the number one scholar, you can only struggle in the officialdom and be a poor scholar.

"Is Mr. Ji being too lenient?" Marquis Jining unceremoniously picked up the teacup and shouted "seeing off the guests" loudly.

Ji Yong naturally wouldn't wait until someone came to chase him away.

The Marquis of Jining stood up when he picked up the teacup, and before the Marquis of Jining could call out the word "seeing off", he said coldly: "My family and the Dou family are originally related by marriage. Thanks to the second wife of the Dou family, this year I stayed at Dou's house for the New Year. Seeing that I was going back to the capital to reunite with my father, I was afraid that the uncles of the Dou family would wrong Miss Dou's fourth, so they entrusted me to pay close attention to the movement in Kyoto. Uncle can't do it, and several elders in the family are hiding it from her old man, so I asked me to tell you quietly, if you leave the token at Wei's house at this time, when the news passes, her old man is willing to pay a lot of money to buy it back ..."

Before he could finish his words, Marquis Jining's throat seemed to be blocked, he was stunned for a long time without saying a word, but he was thinking quickly in his mind.

He really looked down on Miss Dou Si, the "bereaved woman and eldest daughter" of the Dou family. If he followed what the Ji Ju person said, he would exchange tokens for a large sum of money.The Wei family will be able to get rid of the current predicament immediately, and the servants in the palace will be given money to find a good job for their son, and the Wei family will be revitalized soon.It's just a daughter... If you follow what Mr. Chen said, you have to marry Miss Si of the Dou family.Although he can get a dowry and help his daughter, but in the end he is controlled by others... What a dilemma!

If only there was a way to have the best of both worlds.

Thoughts flashed.His heart moved.

Why the haste to make a decision? [

Now the He family wants that jade pendant, the Dou family wants that jade pendant, and even the second wife of the Dou family has her own plans behind her son's back.As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.Why didn't he wait and procrastinate, maybe he could sell it for a better price!

It's just that I don't know if the Ji family is really related to the Dou family, so I have to inquire carefully.

I made up my mind.Jining Hou was refreshed.

Ji Yong knew what he was up to at a glance, a flash of contempt flashed in his heart, and he suddenly felt sad for Dou Zhao.

What her mother told her was a broken marriage!

If this is married, there is still a way to survive!

No matter what, Dou Zhao cannot be allowed to marry in!

Ji Yong secretly made up his mind, listening to the Marquis of Jining put on airs and said: "Our Wei family fought with Emperor Taizong in the south and north, and that's why we earned a place in the Taimiao. Although our descendants are not talented, we have never forgotten the old man. Due to the meritorious service of our ancestors, we dare not do things that would insult our ancestors. Since the Dou family has exchanged tokens with our family, how can this marriage be changed just by saying it..."

While he was eloquent, the steward who brought Ji Yong in earlier appeared at the door of the flower hall with his head poised.

Jining Hou frowned slightly, stopped the topic, and said displeasedly: "What's the matter?"

The steward hurriedly walked in with low eyebrows, bowed his head and said: "Master Hou, my aunt is back..."

Jining Hou was taken aback.

The steward whispered in the ear of Marquis Jining.

Ji Yong didn't bother to eavesdrop, but Kezi listened clearly with his ears open.

"I don't know who reported the letter to my aunt. Said that you decided to keep Yupei, and my aunt came back crying with the baby in her arms, saying she couldn't live anymore. The wife was crying with her aunt, and no one would listen to her advice. The Shizi was watching from the side, and told me to come to you quickly. He said that if you don't go, the wife and grandma will cry and hold their breath..."

Jining Hou loves his wife and a pair of children very much.

And now that such a change has happened, she should explain it to her daughter.

He couldn't sit still for a while, hurriedly said a few polite words to Ji Yong, and served tea to see off the guests again.

Ji Yong didn't say much, got up and left the flower hall.

Jining Hou hurried to the inner courtyard.

Zishang told Ji Yong what he just heard.

Ji Yongdao: "I'll wait for you in the carriage, you follow Jininghou to have a look. I saw him as a soft bone, and I was afraid that my daughter would cry and make trouble, so I changed my mind again."

His mouth opened wide: "Go, go to the inner house..."

"What are you afraid of?" Ji Yong glanced at him contemptuously, "Jining Marquis Mansion is so big, their house is barely enough for daily living, and it is impossible to have enough servants to take care of the garden. You just need to avoid the main You can enter the inner courtyard smoothly from the courtyard. Even if you are recognized by someone, you just say that I still have something to ask Lord Hou, but you didn’t meet anyone along the way, and walked there in a daze..."

What else could he say, according to Ji Yong's instructions, he secretly followed Jining Hou and slipped into the inner courtyard.

Sure enough, I didn't meet anyone on the road, and I saw some remote houses overgrown with weeds, which looked very desolate.

The young master was right again.

Muttering, he arrived at the main courtyard unimpeded, and turned in from the back yard.

The maids and mother-in-law were all standing under the veranda of the main house. He leaned on the back door to listen, and the voice of the Marquis of Jining came intermittently: "...the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, I take care of your brother, It's also impossible to leave you alone...you listen to me about this matter, you're right...can I still harm you..."

He quietly turned back on the chair, and when he was in trouble at the Hanging Flower Gate, a woman stopped him: "What do you do? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"I'm sweeping the floor in the outer courtyard." Zishang said in a hurry, "Just now I saw no one in front of the Chuihua gate, so I wandered here."

"Why is there no one?" The mother-in-law was puzzled.

The son ran out in a hurry, shouting "I'm going back to work", and left the Jining Marquis Mansion.

Ji Yong asked him: "What's the matter?"

Zishang taught Ji Yong exactly what he heard.

Ji Yong nodded, and asked Zishang: "Which restaurant is the best in Kyoto, I want to invite He Yu to drink!"
