Ji Tang

Chapter 1252 First contact!

Looking at Fang Xuanling chatting and laughing with the military generals, and even joking with each other over drinks from time to time, the civil servants were messy in the wind, and I thought to myself, I am afraid that I am not a fake civil servant, right?
If Fang Xuanling knew their idea, he would definitely sneer at it, civil servant?Wu Chen?I can kill the enemy if I mount my damn horse, and I can rule the country if I dismount. What kind of civil servants and military ministers?In my eyes, I am both civil and military!

"Lao Fang, you are so damn comfortable. You resigned early to retire and retire. We old guys would be envious of you!"

Seeing Fang Xuanling coming, many veterans came forward to say hello.They are all veterans from the time when His Majesty stayed in the residence, and have experienced ups and downs. Even if they are a bit dirty on weekdays, they are old and old, and now they find it interesting to think about it!
Facing Gao Shilian's words, Fang Xuanling chuckled: "Is this called envy? I think you just can't let it go, right?"

"If you ask me, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It's better for us old guys to stay less involved. Maybe we do bad things with good intentions? Do you think this is the truth?"

Gao Shilian was stunned and said thoughtfully: "I have learned a lesson!"

"Hahaha, these are all my random words, they cannot be taken as true, they cannot be taken as true!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, and Li Shimin also noticed this. He looked at Fang and Du and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. In the early years, he had let these two take the blame. Back then, he would not allow them to resign, but Zi Yi is right. Rather than resenting each other between the king and his ministers, it is better to part ways and tolerate each other.He gained a reputation as a considerate minister, and Fang and Du also had a good death, so why not?
How could he not have any resentment?At the time of Xuanwu Sect, he sent Yuchi to invite people with a knife.The meaning is self-evident, everyone will be happy if it works out, but if it doesn’t work out, I’m afraid it won’t be as easy as the current plan!
Thinking about what happened a few years ago, he was a little dazed for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses until his eldest grandson called him!

"Why are you so lost in thought? How many times have you called me but you still don't answer?" Changsun asked doubtfully.

"Hey, it's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past!"

Changsun had a clear mind and looked at the old men. He stretched out his hand to hold the emperor's hand and said warmly: "No matter what happened before, at least the ending is good now. Since ancient times, how many old ministers under the founding emperor have died well? Now the Tang Dynasty is at peace. , the people have no worries about food and clothing, the officials are honest, and the soldiers dominate the world, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Li Shimin smiled and said nothing more, but held the queen's hand tightly.
On the banks of Qujiang Lake, there are a sea of ​​people here at this time, but most of them are young girls. They are either inviting them to play, lighting up lamps and guessing riddles, or they are affectionate and shy!

Various lanterns float leisurely in the river, carrying the dreams of boys and girls and their best wishes for love.

At this time, Qujiang seemed like heaven and earth, and in a trance, it seemed like fireworks on earth.

Zhang Rendan stared blankly at the pairs of people in front of him, his heart twisting like a knife.Mother's illness can now be cured only by Ji Song, the Duke of Nian, who is the kitten's father, but how can he open his mouth?
Because he knows that once he opens his mouth, Mao Mao will not refuse, but with such a great favor, what qualifications does he have to associate with such a person?

He didn't care about the strange looks from the world, but his mother would never accept this humiliation.

Pfft!
A stone suddenly hit the water in front of him. The cold water suddenly woke him up, but then he became furious!
"Who?"

But when he looked back, he saw that it was a young man wearing a green robe and a brocade robe. He looked older than himself, but definitely not much.With his back to his hands, even if he doesn't speak, his power cannot be ignored!
"Why are you playing with me? Is it funny? Could it be that this is the tutor of a wealthy family?"

Suppressing his anger, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him. He had nothing to fear if he was alone, but he still had family and friends, so he could only endure it!

"Are you angry?"

The young man opposite just smiled and waved to him: "Let's have a fight!"

After saying that, the young man turned around and left, but found that Zhang Rendan was not moving. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "A man, what's going on with my mother-in-law and mother?"

"Okay, I'll go!"

Zhang Rendan was also willing to take risks. I don't know what was wrong with this young man. It seemed that he was targeting him.If you know you can't hide, there's no need to hide anymore.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in front!"

So the two of them came to an open space one after another. When they arrived, Zhang Rendan's eyes narrowed and he was even more afraid of this young man.

What is this place?This is the Royal Forest Garden. How could he come here unimpeded?
"Who are you? We are strangers to you. Why are you embarrassing me, a common man?"

To be honest, he didn't want to fight, because if he lost, he would get beaten in vain, and if he won, he might be hated by others. He didn't want to dampen the moral character of the children of the aristocratic family!
"There's so much nonsense, I'll talk about it after I win!"

Alas, the opponent attacked me without saying a word. It was just fists and kicks, but its power made Zhang Rendan's heart tremble!

boom!
The two were separated at the first touch, but Zhang Rendan knew that he had fallen into a disadvantage in the first round. He felt his trembling right arm and the pride in his heart was aroused!
"Come again!"

This time he fell down and bullied him, taking the initiative to attack, but what shocked him was that he had tried his best, but the opponent was still able to do it with ease. He seemed to be as old as him, but his skill and magnanimity were vastly different. Thousands of miles!

There was another collision, and Zhang Rendan couldn't help being knocked to the ground!
"you win!"

It's not like he can't afford to lose, not to mention that the other party defeated him openly, and his skills were inferior to others, so he didn't lose unfairly!

"Get up!"

Ji Run smiled and stretched out her hand to pull him up. Zhang Rendan was stunned for a moment and then became rude!

Yes, that young man is Ji Run.

Do you really think Ji knows nothing about kittens?That's too much to underestimate Ji.In Chang'an, not even a fly can escape Ji's detection, let alone a bright person?

Ji Run had discovered something was wrong a long time ago. When his father left, he handed over all the clan soldiers at home to him. Only he and his father knew about this, and no one else knew about it at all.

When one day someone told him that his sister might have a man she liked, he was also very curious, so he sent someone to check it out.I just didn't expect that he was just a poor boy.Not to mention that his father was the governor before, even the Ji family, a relative of the emperor, did not take him seriously.

It's not that he looks down on people, for Ji's status, he doesn't care about anything now. With his father's temperament, as long as he is a good person and sincerely treats his sister, it's probably not enough. Ji's mother is a little bit sad.But with dad in front, there’s nothing mom can do!

But since his sister was brought into the palace by his grandma a few days ago, and his grandma asked him to check his sister's whereabouts when he came back, he knew that he probably couldn't hide this matter.

Before, if he didn't want to hinder his sister, he could only pretend that he didn't see it.As long as the two of them didn't get along too much, he would just turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't know.

But not now. He is about to enter the public eye. As a younger brother, he has to weigh the opponent's weight!

"I'm Zhang Rendan, do you know your surname?"

Zhang Zhang Rendan could tell at this time that the other party obviously had no ill intentions towards him, so he calmed down and asked directly.

"I'm Chengrun!"

Chengrun?I’ve never heard of this name. Is it a wealthy family with the surname Cheng?Never heard of this!

"Brother Cheng is here today."

Ji Run smiled, and had already thought of the reason, and just said: "I also accidentally heard that Brother Zhang is very skilled. My hands are itchy, so I can't help it." Zhang Rendan didn't doubt him after hearing this. Although few people know about his skills, he doesn't specifically avoid people when he practices martial arts. There are also many people who know about it, but I don't know if this young man knows it from Lali?

"I admire Brother Cheng's martial arts skills. I'm afraid there are few people in this world who can be Brother Cheng's opponent! Just why."

"Why doesn't anyone know?"

Ji Run glanced at Ah with a half-smile and said, "My family has lived in seclusion for generations. This time, I also went down the mountain to wander around. Of course not many people know about it."

Hidden family?

Zhang Rendan was stunned, but it wasn't much of a surprise.He said that such a character did not have any fame. It turned out to be the first time he was born!

He had heard his father talk about the hermit family before. He heard that the Ji family today was a hermit in the Qinling Mountains with hundreds of people, and they were forced to move out during the reign of Fu Jian of the later Qin Dynasty. The family inheritance has been passed down for thousands of years, and even now The five surnames and seven hopes all have to be on an equal footing with him. It is said that the ancestors of the Zheng family in Xingyang are brothers to the ancestors of the Ji family, and the relationship between the two families has indeed been good over the years.

The two of them put aside their grudges and talked happily. Ji Run got the wine from somewhere, and the two of them sat on the steps and started drinking.

Everyone gets drunk unless they are drunk. Zhang Renquan had already suppressed the pain in his heart over the years and felt depressed. Today, he spoke out through the power of alcohol.

"Her family is from a famous family in the Tang Dynasty, and her father is an important official in the court. How can I, a poor boy, let him live a good life?"

Ji Run smiled in her heart.But he asked: "What if she is willing to endure hardships with you? Your martial arts and literary talents are not inferior to others. Maybe you will be appointed as a marquis and a general in the future, and your family will be glorious?"

"But I don't want to!"

"I do not want to."

"She clearly has the best choice. I can't be so selfish and let him suffer with me, even if his parents turn against him. In that case, if a woman has to endure such a thing for me, how can I, as a man, look at others? "

Ji Run sighed secretly in her heart and asked again: "What if you and she live an unhappy life and even shed tears all day long? Wouldn't you be harming him by giving up like this?"

Zhang Rendan was stunned, and suddenly buried his head between his legs and cried bitterly.

"Then what can I do? What can I do? The person most likely to cure my mother's disease now is her father. I know that if I ask, she will agree to fight for me, but what can I do?"

"I don't want to, I really don't want to. But I can't help it!"

Ji Run drank the wine in the glass, patted the other person's shoulder, stood up and said: "This is a famous card. If you are interested, you can take this famous card to the Ministry of Etiquette after the seal is decoded. This October is the imperial examination. Dadian, if you can become a Jinshi in high school and rank among the best, as long as you ask that person to save your mother in front of His Majesty that day, it is not impossible!"

"Instead of feeling sorry for yourself now, it's better to catch up and be a high school Jinshi. Your positive ability is as good as anyone else's. This may make people look up to you, and maybe you can get your long-cherished wish."

Zhang Rendan raised his head suddenly. He stared blankly at the retreating figure, and then looked at the name card in his hand.When I opened it, there was nothing on it except a seal with no words.

"October. Imperial Examination for Jinshi!"

He seemed to have caught something, but nothing.But at this time, he understood a truth, that is, if you don't do anything, nothing will change if you come in.Therefore, he wants to take the Jinshi exam!
-
When Ji Run returned to Zhuque Gate again, Ji's mother immediately gave him a wink.

"I'm going out to do something!"

He told his wife and went out.Li Yu was puzzled for a while: "You just came back and left, and you don't know what you are doing?"

"Okay, of course men have their own things to do. Just watch the singing and dancing."

Mother Ji comforted her and then said: "Hey, look at my memory. Just now, the queen sent a message for me to come over, but why did she forget it? It seems that I am really old!"

"Grandma, what you said is that you will definitely live a long life."

Hearing Mao Mao's words, Mother Ji smiled and said, "You are so sweet-mouthed. Whenever you bring grandma a grandson-in-law, grandma will be happier than anything else!"

"grandmother!"

The kitten immediately became unhappy and took grandma's hand and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, you damn girl, it's time to think about life-long matters. Okay, don't say anything, wait until your father comes back and let him talk, so as not to make me annoying, let's go, let's go!"

After saying that, he walked out accompanied by Xiaolian, leaving only the kitten sulking!

After a while, Ji's mother came to a deserted place and said to Xiaolian: "Just wait here. There are some things you are not suitable to know."

Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, but she still nodded and said, "Then please slow down and call me if you need anything!"

Ji nodded and walked forward.I saw that someone seemed to be waiting for him. Who else could it be if it wasn't Ji Run?

"grandmother!"

"Well, have you seen that person?"

Ji Run's scalp was numb and he said, "I saw it!"

"what do you think?"

"It's not bad. Although my family is a little poor, I am filial and have good martial arts and literary talents. If it weren't for the drag of my sick mother at home, I would have achieved countless things now!"

Mother Ji sighed and said, "It wasn't because grandma and your mother disliked the poor and loved the rich. Back then, our Ji family almost fell apart and many people starved to death. If your father hadn't been born out of nowhere, how would our Ji family be where we are today?" ?”

"But today is different from the past. Your identity is there, and your sister is the legitimate daughter of the family. If this is not the right family, friction between husband and wife will be inevitable in the future."

"It doesn't matter that your father is obedient to your requests, but that is because he has not touched his negative scale. If your sister is wronged because of the sect's differences, it would be an easy thing for your father to kill his whole family."

When he said this, he sighed for a while. The children at home have grown up and have their own ideas.Sometimes even elders have to consider the consequences!
