Ninefold Purple

Ji Yong didn't return to Yuqiao Hutong until it was time to light the lanterns.

Nanny Han didn't dare to say that it was Mrs. Han looking for him, and she winked at Zixi who was walking behind him.

Zixi nodded, indicating that he knew it, and Nanny Han went back to report to Han Shi: "The young master has come back, I told Zixi, and Zixi is going to come and talk to him because of his kung fu."

Feeling at ease, Mrs. Han accompanied Ji's father and son to have dinner with a smile on her face, and sent Ji Qi away, while she drank tea in the hall and waited for her son to rest.

After about half an hour, I paid my errand to greet Mrs. Han. [

Mrs. Han arranged for Nanny Han to guard the door, and took a breather to talk in the warm pavilion.

"Young Master, do you have any good friends outside?" Han's voice was a little low.

Zixi was slightly stunned, and it took a moment to realize what Han asked.

"No, no!" He repeated repeatedly, "Master never visits the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion."

Han Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

It stands to reason that the son is not young, so he should have kissed him long ago.But when my son first met Yuan, the big family in the south of the Yangtze River heard the news, and the matchmaker was about to break the threshold of Ji's family, but the son snorted coldly, and no one discussed it. Said: "Whoever's lady can match the second couplet that I like, whoever is my good match for Ji Jianming."

Women in the south of the Yangtze River know a lot about poetry and books, and I don't know how many women want to make this a good story.

In the second couplet that came out, there were a few lines that stood out from the crowd, even the old man couldn't help but nod his beard when he read them, but none of them could catch Ji Yong's eyes.

After a long time, everyone can taste the taste.

Ji Yong is not picking a wife here, this is rejecting relatives in disguise!

Those women who wrote the second couplet certainly felt humiliated and turned pale, but the Ji family master who understood what Ji Yong meant was covered in cold sweat, and he took off the second couplet with his own hands—if this matter continues to develop The Ji family is afraid that they will offend all the well-known families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Those aristocratic wives who have women in their boudoirs love and hate Ji Yong, so his marriage will naturally be brought up again.

The Han family was afraid that her son would be fooled by some prostitute.

With Ji Yong's temperament, he would bring it home if he didn't keep it outside.

What will they do then?

If you don't admit it, will Ji Yong follow?

I admit it, even if they pretend to be deaf and dumb and don't reveal the woman's identity, those who were rejected by Ji Yong probably won't let the Ji family go, then what will the Ji family's face be?

She felt restless just thinking about it.

Now that she hears that her son is following the rules, she immediately beams with joy. [

But this joy only lasted for a moment, and Han immediately realized that something was wrong.

That wooden hairpin is clearly for women!

Although the Ji family can't be called rich, but emeralds, opals, and even diamonds are not rare items. Ji Yong put these things away and hid a wooden hairpin, and the wooden hairpin was ten or so. He carved it with his own hands... If it is said that the hairpin collector and Ji Yong are just acquaintances, it is more reliable to say that the iron tree is blooming.

Her smile froze on her face, and she asked Zixi anxiously: "Since the young master left Yixing, where has he been? Who have he met?"

Ever since Ji Yong carved the wooden hairpin with his own hands, Zixi was like roasting on fire.

The young master treats Miss Dou's fourth lady very well... He intends to remind Mrs. Han, but he is afraid that Mrs. Han will not take it seriously; But it's not a question of being respectful to the elders of the Ji family, but of misconduct, instigating the master to be bad, even if the young master is protecting them, the Ji family can no longer tolerate them.

At this time when Mrs. Han asked, he was really surprised and delighted. He knelt down in front of Mrs. Han with a plop, and asked how Ji Yong thought of going to Zhending to visit Mrs. Ji, how he met Dou Zhao, how Dou Zhao dealt with Pang Kunbai, Ji Yong How does Yong treat Dou Zhao differently... Tell Han everything.

Mrs. Han was terrified when she heard this, and it took a while to come back to her senses: "You mean, I saw that this wooden hairpin was carved by myself for Miss Dou's Fourth Miss?"

Zixi nodded: "Young master painted and sculpted it himself, and it took almost a month of hard work."

Han Shi wondered: "Then why didn't he give it to the Fourth Miss of the Dou family? If I remember correctly, the wedding ceremony for the Fourth Miss of the Dou family is on the tenth day of the first lunar month."

Ji Ling went to attend Dou Zhao's Jiji ceremony.

Zixi looked anxious: "The young master said, if he can't be nominated on the gold list this time, what qualifications does he have to give a congratulatory gift to the Fourth Miss of the Dou family..."

Han's expression changed drastically.

The Fourth Miss of the Dou family has such a heavy weight in his son's heart!

Since that's the case, why didn't he tell himself and justifiably go to propose marriage?

Could it be that he was afraid that Fourth Miss Dou would dislike him?

Thoughts flashed across Han's mind.

This son of my family who is talented, educated and rich, like the sweet girl of the sky, is envied by many people, flattered and flattered by many people who want to marry her, but one day he will humble himself to please a girl!

So what's so good about the Fourth Miss of the Dou family?

Not only is she a widow and eldest daughter, but she is also cold and arrogant, and she beats people to death when she says she wants to. If she is really married, and her son is so careful to please her, what right does she have to spend money from her mother-in-law?Isn't it like marrying a living ancestor?

But if they don't agree... Except for the old man, there is really no one in this family who can control the son.

The old man is old, so he can't control his son for the rest of his life, can he? [

According to what Zixi said, although the Fourth Miss Dou is ruthless, she still has ideas.The son was able to take the imperial examination obediently this time because he was ridiculed by Miss Dou Si.

Marry a wife and marry virtue.Being able to control her husband, let him make progress, and honor his ancestors is the greatest virtue of being a woman.

Thinking about it this way, a subtle change occurred in Han's heart.

Even if the son doesn't marry the fourth lady of the Dou family, will he get closer to himself?

But if the son married the Fourth Miss of the Dou family... This woman's world is in the inner courtyard, if she can keep her daughter-in-law, she can also keep her son...

Han could not help but secretly feel that his idea is good.

It seems that I have to ask my aunt carefully about the Fourth Miss of the Dou family.

She made up her mind and told Zixi: "Today's matter got out of your mouth and into my ears, so I can't tell the third person, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, ma'am," Zixi knew the importance of the matter, and swore, "If I mention it again after I get out of this door, I will be struck by lightning and die!"

Mrs. Han nodded, calmed her down, and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'm the one who decides." There was a bit of joy in his brows.

Zixi understood it at a glance.

He yelled inwardly, and hurriedly said bravely: "Madam, Miss Dou's Fourth Miss, has already engaged..."

"What did you say?" Han's face turned pale in shock, "What's going on? What else didn't you tell me?"

"The little one has nothing to hide from his wife." Zixi knew that Mrs. Han had misunderstood the relationship between Ji Yong and Dou Zhao, so he explained some things between them in detail.

Han's expression was uncertain, his mouth was half open, and after a quarter of an hour, he murmured: "So, the burden of seeing Ming's haircut is getting hot?"

Zixi lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"What can I do?!" Thinking of her son's behavior, Han was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"What happened?" At some point, Ji Qi walked in, "Did you see Ming get into trouble again?" He was very worried when he saw the situation.

"No!" Han asked Zixi to retreat, and forced himself to help Ji Qi change his clothes, "I called Zixi here to ask Jianming what he has been doing these days."

Ji Qi just dotes on Ji Yong and turns a blind eye to some things, it doesn't mean he is careless.

He held his wife's shoulders and said solemnly: "Do you know why grandfather didn't let Jianming grow up beside us? Human morality is not established, and national morality is not prosperous. Jianming has been unusually smart since he was a child. Grandpa was afraid that we would treat him too much. Pampering, you only know how to let him study, but ignore his conduct... If you see that Ming has done something wrong, you must not help him hide it. He is young and no one can control him. If you blindly indulge him , even if he is the No. [-] scholar in high school, he may not be able to become a famous minister who will go down in history?"

It's okay if Ji Qi doesn't say it, but when he said it, Han couldn't hold back anymore, tears fell like raindrops: "Jianming, he has fallen in love with someone else's wife..." She cried, explaining the cause and effect. , Ji Yong helped Dou Zhao carve a wooden hairpin with his own hands and told Ji Qi all about it.

Ji Qi listened, his face gradually became serious: "Is what you said true?"

"This is not a good thing, can I still lie to you?" Han wiped her tears and said, "The wooden hairpin is still under Jianming's pillow!"

Ji Qi didn't even know what to say.

This son of mine has never stopped since he was a child.

A mistake in this matter will not only ruin the reputation of the Fourth Miss of the Dou family, but also cut off Ji Yong from his official career.

He thought for a while, and said resolutely: "I have to tell my grandfather about this matter, and ask him to come up with an idea." Then he said, "Now that Ming is just thinking about Miss Dou's family in his heart, you don't want to Don’t let him run to Zhending suddenly in the middle of the night. Everything will be decided after grandfather makes up his mind.”

The Han family should have written a letter while serving her husband, and sent her own servant to deliver it to Yixing early the next morning.

Ji Yong knew that Zixi was called by his mother for questioning.

The people around him were called in every day for questioning.

Ji Yong thought that he had nothing to fear from others, so he didn't take it seriously.After giving Dou Zhengchang and Dou Dechang all the books in the school house in Shuntian Mansion, he originally wanted to go to Daxing, but he thought that the imperial examination would be held in a few days. If he could get a good rank in the imperial examination, he would be able to Instructing the steward of Ji's family to help me, it's hard work for me to run around like a headless chicken, and I can't find any news, so it's better to wait until the court test releases the list.So I moved back to Yuqiao Hutong, found out all the residence newspapers of the past ten years, and consulted my uncle and father to figure out what I wanted, and thought over all the possible situations that might be encountered in the court examination.When the test results came out at the end of February, Ji Yonghui came in fourth.

The members of the Ji family can no longer hide their joy, and they need to hide their joy again.

At Ji Yong's age, even if he did not perform well in the court examination, he could still be a candidate.

Ji Yong's expression remained the same, he did what he should do, but he muttered in his heart: Could it be that Dou Zhao really guessed it right?It can only be passed down from the Golden Palace...

Han looked anxious.Privately said to her husband: "Could it be that you can't give an explanation to Miss Dou's family?" Ji Qi stared, and couldn't help scolding his wife: "What nonsense are you talking about?" (To be continued)
