Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 156 Riding a tiger is hard to get off, forced to fulfill the contract (2)
"Father, have you really made an engagement with Ji's family?"

Seeing Qin Zuojun's hesitant and resentful expression, Qin Zi's expression changed drastically, and he walked over step by step.

This can't be true, he has already had a woman he likes, and it is absolutely impossible to marry a girl from Ji's family. Besides, he doesn't know what kind of family background this is, how is it possible?This is too ridiculous!

"I……"

Facing his son's questioning eyes, Qin Zuojun's eyes dodged a little, and he couldn't help but sat back on the chair in annoyance, and murmured: "Back then, I made a slip of the tongue... So many years have passed, I thought it would have been a child's play, but Miss him..."

Is this an admission?

Qin Zi was extremely disappointed, he couldn't help clenching his teeth, and said word by word: "Which Ji family is it?"

Qin Zuojun glanced at Qin Zidu's gloomy face, the matter has come to this point, if he had to explain everything to his son, he must find a solution instead of the two father and son fighting each other.

"It's like this..."

Qin Zuojun let out a long sigh, and began to recall the past.

After studying hard for ten years, once he failed, one can imagine his feeling of loss. At that time, Ji Mingxuan and Ji Mingxuan took the exam in the same year and failed the ranking at the same time. Dispirited, he got drunk in a restaurant, but he had a good conversation.

At that time, Ji Mingxuan was the legitimate son of the Ji family, and his father worked in the Hanlin Academy, spending a lot of money. They spent three days and three nights together, and it was all Ji Mingxuan's treats. Qin Zuojun also realized at that time that he was befriending a The children of the aristocratic family who should not be underestimated, just now kept their eyes open, and joked that the two of them might as well make a baby kiss.

Qin Zidu was already seven or eight years old at the time, and Ji Mingxuan also had a daughter. When the two of them were in a daze, half drunk and half awake, they really wrote down the marriage contract. Just waiting for another day to fulfill.

At that time, Qin Zuojun had the desire to seek power and affiliation, but he didn't want to think that in the 30th year of Hedong and 30th year of Hexi, Qin Zidu's mother passed away, and he joined the Fang family, but the old man Ji was dismissed by the emperor, and his family left Danyang. He even died in his hometown, and even Ji Mingde, who was the only official, had to go back to his hometown, Ding You. The power of the Ji family had come to an end.

However, Qin Zuojun's career was in full swing, with the help of his father-in-law, he made friends with the then master Xuezheng, and then he won the first place in one fell swoop. Afterwards, he flourished in the officialdom, and he had long forgotten the marriage contract when he was down and down.

What's more, Qin Zidu is now a freshly-baked Tanhualang, and the daughters of the rich and famous families in Beijing are rushing to marry him, so how could Qin Zuojun pay attention to the Ji family that has faded out of sight for a long time.

"Father, the Ji family is defeated now, so naturally they want us to come back to power. I don't want to be their springboard!"

Qin Zi was so angry that he slapped the table, and when he talked about the Ji family, he was full of disdain. Such a family, no matter how good it was at the beginning, is now completely in decline. It is really true that he wants to marry his daughter to him, Tanhualang. wishful thinking!
Qin Zuojun pondered for a long time, then turned to Qin Zhong and said, "Go and find out, when did the fourth master of the Ji family arrive in Sansha Town, and what is the current situation?"

Qin Zuojun thought about it carefully, he didn't go out when he was working in other places before, and this matter was spread in Sansha Town, Ji Mingxuan must be here, all kinds of actions are just to force him to submit, how could he so easy? !

Qin Zhong immediately took the order and left.

"Father, are you planning to..."

Qin Zi sat up straight, with a gleam in his eyes, he knew what his father was like, and his father would not be willing to be controlled by others like this.

"Weigh him first, and know yourself and the enemy before you can win every battle!"

Qin Zuojun narrowed his eyes slightly, and the light in his eyes suddenly appeared. He is not a poor scholar with nothing back then. Ji Mingxuan will never try to take him lightly!
Qin Zuojun had his own arrangements and plans, but Ji Mingxuan was in the dark, he was in the light, and Ji Mingxuan was able to do what he did today because he had planned or unintentionally. Going to inquire, Ji Mingxuan has already brought a group of country gentry and scholars to visit Qin Zuojun.

The concierge was completely oppressed by the aura of the crowd. He was just guarding the door of the house temporarily. When Ji Mingxuan opened his mouth, he said that he was Lord Qin's in-laws. How dare he be negligent? Let everyone out.

Qin Zuojun and his son were thinking hard about countermeasures, when a young man came in to report, Qin Zuojun ran over to take a look, and sure enough, a dark crowd was approaching.

"It came so fast!"

Qin Zidu hit the door frame with his fist, and he couldn't help frowning in pain. He turned to look at Qin Zuojun, "Father, what should we do?"

Although the Qin family was not well-off back then, but with the love of their parents, Qin Zi had never experienced any hardships. When he came to the Fang family, he was pampered and pampered. Seeing this group of people rushing over, he panicked a little.

"Let's hide first!"

Qin Zuojun's eyes flashed, and he was about to step back when Ji Mingxuan, who was not far away from the corridor, shouted "Brother Qin" and walked over with big strides.

"Father!"

Qin Zi was embarrassed by this, thinking that Ji Mingxuan had already seen someone, and they would be inferior if they ran away again, ruining his reputation in vain, thinking of this, Qin Zi puffed out his chest slightly, and stood up straight Now, he still looks like the elegant young man facing the wind.

"It's okay!"

Qin Zuojun took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and forced a smile when he turned around, "Let's see what tricks he can play!"

After all, Ji Mingxuan has been in the capital for so many years, how could he not know those faces that are up and down, because he was afraid that Qin Zuojun would hide in advance, so he didn't come to the door in a hurry, and took all kinds of preparatory measures in place. Come here to block people.

If Qin Zuojun hides such intentional and unintentional calculations, then Ji Mingxuan will have lived in vain for decades.

"Brother Qin!"

Ji Mingxuan wore a jade-colored round-neck gown with jade around his waist and a woven gold belt. The stubble on his face had already been scraped off, and his brows seemed to have regained the flamboyant nobleman who used to be in the capital. It's just that as he got older, the years finally carved a little trace of vicissitudes at the corners of his eyes.

"This is... Brother Ji?"

Qin Zuojun also had a surprised look on his face, his eyes glowed with joy, and he was quite surprised to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land, but the smile floated on the surface and didn't reach his eyes.

Looking at Ji Mingxuan's attire, Qin Zuojun was also a little confused. Could it be that the Ji family has found other ways now, otherwise it would be really surprising that Ji Mingxuan appeared in Sansha Town.
