Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 155 Riding a tiger is hard to get off, forced to fulfill the contract (1)
Aunt Liu was trembling with excitement, and she tightly grasped Ji Mingxuan's wrist, her expression on her face was ecstatic, "So...in the future, our Wei'er will be Mrs. Tanhualang?"

"That's not it!"

Ji Mingxuan nodded affirmatively, with his arms wrapped around his chest, with a proud expression on his face.

"However... the situation we are seeing now, does Mr. Qin still like it?"

Aunt Liu lowered her head, looked at her simple attire, and looked at the simple furniture and decorations in the room. People in the officialdom have always stepped up to the top, but now that they are so downcast, it is inevitable that they will not be looked down upon. go.

"Dare he?!"

Ji Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, "I still have this marriage contract in my hand. If he doesn't want to ruin his future with his son, he must fulfill the promise he made back then."

Although this marriage letter was signed by the two of them after drinking and having fun together when they were unhappy, but it was written in black and white and stamped with a seal, how could it be denied?
Ji Mingxuan had already thought of all kinds of possibilities, so he invited Aunt Liu to come over and discuss in a low voice, "So...so...we're not afraid that he won't give in!"

Qin Zuojun has been proud of his career in the past few years. He only feels that his official career is very good, and nothing is wrong with him. His son Qin Zidu was appointed Tanhualang by the emperor in this year's palace examination. All the famous families who looked at people from the corner of their eyes flocked to him.

Of course, there is also sadness behind the scenery, but without following the trend back then, there would not be today's rise from the ground.

Qin Zuojun has never regretted his decision back then.

"Father, but mother urged you to go back again?"

Qin Zidu turned into the room, and as soon as he lifted his robe, he sat down on Qin Zuojun's head. The handsome young man had an extraordinary demeanor, and there was an indelible smile on his brows and eyes.

"That's not true. We'll only be out for a while, and your mother is in a panic."

Qin Zuojun slightly stroked the inch-length beard under his jaw, and suddenly his eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Qin Zidu with serious eyes, "If you go back this time, your grandfather still insists on changing your surname, what should you do?"

This is Qin Zuojun's unresolved knot. When Qin Zidu's mother passed away, he took his son into the Fang family. At that time, Master Fang was just a small county magistrate, but after the two got married these years In addition to having a daughter Fang Xiuli, she has nothing to do, and her son-in-law is not good at taking concubines, not to mention Qin Zuojun is not good at that.

Fortunately, the Fang family has treated their father and son very well these years. Because they have no sons, they even regard Qin Zi as their own. In addition, he has obtained fame in the examination and his official career has been smooth sailing. It can be said that he is finally proud of himself.

However, having no heirs to inherit the great business has always been a heart problem of Master Fang. He has been lobbying his father and son for several years, but he has not achieved his goal.

"My son thinks this surname is very good, why change it?"

The corner of Qin Zi's mouth curled up, and he lightly clasped his fingers indifferently, "Besides, if Grandpa really wants an heir, he can let his younger sister recruit him, and the child he will give birth to will be the heir of their Fang family, wouldn't it be better?"

"It's not that you don't know your grandfather's stubborn temper, but now he only likes you!"

Qin Zuojun stroked his forehead with a headache. Qin Zi is his only heir, and the Qin family's incense still depends on him. Naturally, it is impossible for him to hand over his son to others. Besides, if he wants to have a son at his age, he will wait for his son. When he grows up, maybe he has already been covered by a handful of loess.

Mr. Fang has been a county magistrate all his life, and he can be regarded as an honest and upright official. He has a good reputation in the officialdom, but he is a bit pedantic, and some truths don't make sense to him.

If the Fang family hadn't been really kind to their father and son, maybe Qin Zuojun would have abandoned his family right now.

Qin Zi shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. This is Qin Zuojun's problem and he doesn't need to get involved.

"By the way, you have been following me for a long time. When will you take office?"

Seeing that his son was not interested, Qin Zuojun changed the subject.

"It's the end of the year, and I have to sort out the things on hand over there. He is also in a hurry when I rush to go."

Qin Zi lowered his brows and eyes, and there was a vague smile on the corner of his lips.

Qin Zuojun coughed lightly, displeased with Qin Zidu's disapproval, so he straightened his clothes and prepared to educate his son.

"Zidu, although the governor of the General Administration is only a seventh-rank official, he is in charge of the internal and external chapters and the sealed complaints of the subjects. He has the best eyes and ears. This is an official position that others can't even ask for. If he does it well, he will be promoted in the future. It is possible for the six ministries to even go directly to the cabinet, so you must not be careless."

Qin Zuojun spoke earnestly and sincerely. He also took many detours back then, and achieved today's achievements through hard work. He didn't want Qin Zi to waste a lot of time like him. There are shortcuts to take. Who would like to climb around the road? ?
"Got it, father."

Only then did Qin Zidu cheer up and sit up straight, and nodded to Qin Zuojun.

The two father and son were relatively silent for a moment. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Qin Zi looked over. Qin Zuojun's long follower, Qin Zhong, had already rushed in, and before he had time to salute, he was yelling: : "It's not good, master, something serious happened!"

"What's the big deal, please speak up!"

Qin Zuojun's expression darkened, and he glanced coldly at Qin Zhong, who immediately stood up straight in a jerk.

Qin Zidu also looked over with great interest. They have only been in Sansha Town for a few days, but they are renting a yard to live in. This has not been known to everyone. What will happen?

Could it be that the squires here are rushing to visit?
"master……"

Qin Zhong glanced at Qin Zidu, and then whispered: "It is rumored outside... It is rumored that the young master is engaged to a girl from Ji's family, so the marriage contract back then is now a good story, and people in the teahouse are talking about it What about jokes!"

"What Ji's girl, it's inexplicable!"

Qin Zi stood up with a dark face. Where did the girl from the Ji family come from? He didn't know such a person at all. Could it be that he knew he was Tan Hualang, so he came here to take advantage of the situation?
"Wait a minute..."

Qin Zuojun's complexion changed drastically, he stood up slowly, and looked at Qin Zhong with a serious face, "Did you hear clearly?"

The Ji family...a marriage contract back then...

Qin Zuojun felt a flash of lightning strike in his mind, he couldn't recover from surprise, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, could it be... is it him?
"Listen clearly. I heard that the master of the Ji family also read out the engagement contract in public. The people in Sansha Town and several scholars all witnessed it with their own eyes. There are black and white letters on the paper, and there is also your seal letter from the past, master. It can't be wrong!"

Qin Zhong wiped off his sweat, and seeing Qin Zuojun and his son's gloomy expressions, he felt his mouth was dry and his throat was about to burst into smoke.
