Ji Tang

Just when they finished speaking, Mr. Liu, who was invited to teach the children elementary education, came over.

"Mr. Xi!"

This Mr. Liu was originally a student from Jiangnan. He came to Chang'an to take part in the imperial examination last year, but unfortunately he failed. He also personally assessed the candidates for this time. This person's basic skills are considered to be the most solid among the applicants. What he lacks is just a famous teacher. Just teaching!

The most important thing for Meng Xue is to have a solid foundation and not to be too ambitious, so it was left behind.

"Well, these kids are troublesome sir!" Ji Song said with satisfaction.

"Mr. Xi was joking. It's a blessing for me to be able to teach several young men and young ladies. How can I talk about hard work?"

Ji Song nodded and said, "I wonder what you think of these children?"

Mr. Liu was a little hesitant, as if he could see his concerns. Xie Lian on the side smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you say it, we are all juniors in the family, and they are under our noses all day long. As the saying goes, bystanders know better, so you can say it for now!"

"promise!"

"The third young master, Ji Hao, is extremely intelligent, but he has little patience and needs to be refined in the future. Although the two young ladies are not as smart as the third young master, they are very kind and have a good heart. They will definitely be good in the future. Young Master Zheng has a reserved personality. He looks dull, but he is actually very talented, and I don’t know for sure what he will do in the future!”

"As for Mr. Li."

"Little Master Li has a cheerful personality and a pure heart, but he is very active. Reading and practicing calligraphy are considered to be above average talents!"

"This is just for the next family. If there is a liao Chu, please don't blame Mr. Xi!"

Ji Song was noncommittal upon hearing this, but Xie Lian looked at his son-in-law. Upper-middle endowment? After pondering for a moment, he was quite pleased. The Tang Dynasty now has a heroic leader and a bright leader. In the future, what he wants is not other things but the leader who maintains the status quo.

He finally saw clearly that this current master was probably not peaceful. Although he was inactive now, he would probably make some achievements in martial arts in the future.

Therefore, the next crown prince is up for debate.

After three generations of development, it is no longer appropriate to use weapons and weapons. No matter how talented you are, if you worry about someone with high ambitions, that will be a disaster!

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Come, take Mr. Liu down to rest!"

"promise!"

After waiting for the people to leave, Ji Song called over Li Jue who was playing with a few children. Of course, his name was Li Jue now. Yujue’s Jue!

"Uncle Ji, did you call me?"

Li Jue was sweating profusely, Ji Song quickly wiped him with a handkerchief, flicked it on his forehead and said angrily: "Go crazy, your father and grandpa will test you next time I see you, see how you do! "

"Hehe, don't worry, I will memorize everything Mr. taught me!" Seeing the thief look on this kid's face, Ji Song said helplessly: "You just deserve a beating!"

"How's it going? How about staying at home? There aren't that many people here to take care of you. Just go get whatever you want. If you don't study hard, sir, don't cry when I beat you!"

Li Jue curled his lips and said: "I don't want them to serve me. They don't let me dare to do this, and they don't let me dare to do that. They're bored to death. It's better here."

He looked at Ji Song hopefully and said, "Uncle Ji, can I stay here forever? I don't want to go back to the palace, it's too boring. My father is extremely busy every day, and my mother only cares about her brother, and there is no one to accompany her." I spoke!"

"Okay, uncle, just tell Father and let me stay here and study with Brother Hao and the others? Don't worry, I will definitely study hard!"

Ji Song had some connection on his face, touched his little head, and sighed: "If you don't want to go back, I won't go back. Just treat this place as your own home. Go talk to your father's uncle. But you have to promise your uncle, no." Hu Lai, you have to study and practice calligraphy with your husband, otherwise, go back to the palace!"

"Yeah, thank you, Uncle Ji!" the little guy said happily after hearing this.

"Go, let's play, but don't take too long. There will be a martial arts class in the afternoon, so don't run out of energy by then!"

Li Jue shouted loudly as he ran, "Don't worry, I'm very powerful!"

Xie Lian said nothing during the whole process, just watching until the little guy showed his childish nature, then he sighed: "What a good kid, the queen is also"

Ji Song was speechless. Su was virtuous and virtuous, but she could not avoid being biased. The eldest son is the prince, so it is human nature to express gratitude for your concern. But ignoring Li Jue like this was a bit much.

No wonder this child is like a wild horse as soon as he comes to the house, playing wildly everywhere. This is suppressed!

"Don't tell him about King Hengshan yet. I will tell the people in the house to keep their mouths shut and let this child grow up with peace of mind. He is in his prime now and it is not yet time for him to get ahead."

Xie Lian nodded and said: "That's fine, no matter what, it's better not to get involved in these things!"

"Okay, I'll leave first. You should also pay attention to yourself!"

"Walk slowly!"
-

Half a month later, Ji Song was in the study when Ji Ze and Wu Mei walked in!

"father!"

Ji Song put down the book and said, "What do you think?"

He also had a headache at this time. The eldest lady in his family was getting married, but the person she was marrying was an unknown person. Although he won the Jinshi this spring, he had no way to stop the gossips outside.

Sometimes, rumors can kill.

"I've checked it out. People from the aristocratic family have released news that the eldest sister is her." Wu Mei's teeth were itching with hatred. Although she and Xiaomao didn't deal with each other, if others dared to bully Xiaomao, she would never agree.

Insulting people's reputation, is this declaring war on the Ji family?

"Hey, why should you be angry if you already knew something? How is the kitten doing?" Ji Song asked worriedly.

Ever since he heard the rumor, Mao Mao has locked himself in the room and will not come out. Even if he goes there, it will not help. This is not going to work!

"Sister, I'm fine, but... hum, this is just too much bullying. Dad, if I go and teach them a lesson, do you really think that my Ji family has no one left?"

After Ji Ze finished speaking, he was about to go out, but was stopped by Ji Song.

"How old are you to be so impulsive? Sit down!"

Ji Ze gritted his teeth angrily, but he still sat down under Wu Mei's pull!

"You don't need to worry about this matter. As a father, I will handle it on my own. Huh, it seems that I haven't spoken out in court in the past few years. Some people have forgotten their memory?"

Ji Song sneered, they are all a group of people who only care about eating but not fighting. If you want to play, just play with them.

"Since the marriage has been decided, it will be held as scheduled. I want to see who dares to cause trouble at this time!"

"Also, go tell Zhang Rendan and ask him to stand up tall. I will always be the one to make the decision!"

Ji Ze was overjoyed when he heard this. Is dad going to take action? "Dad, don't worry, I will protect him when the time comes and see who dares to mess around!"

Ji Ze went to find Zhang Rendan excitedly. Wu Mei was a little worried and said: "Master, they are deliberately disgusting our Ji family in this matter. There is no reason to beat us. What are you going to do?"

"No clue? Who said I would make a fuss about this matter? What a joke!"

Ji Song said disdainfully: "Don't worry about this matter. After Xiaomao's wedding is over, you and Ze'er can go south. Some people in Jiangdong can't sit still during this period. Please treat them well!"

Wu Mei sneered when she heard this: "They are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. You think too highly of them!"

"Don't be careless. Sometimes big things happen because of a trivial matter, which results in the whole game being lost. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, so don't capsize in the gutter." Ji Song warned.

"I know!" Wu Mei said helplessly.

Seeing her look, Ji Song didn't say anything. Sometimes people who don't experience setbacks don't understand some truths. Let's see what happens to her!

Ji Ze walked out of the mansion and walked towards Anrenfang, and soon came to Zhang's house!

Since Zhang's mother's condition improved, the family has also improved a lot. In addition, Zhang Rendan won the Jinshi and received many rewards from the court. At least the house was restored. Although it is very different from the Ningguo Mansion, it is not bad in Chang'an.

Ji Ze entered the gate and saw Zhang's mother washing clothes.

"Aunt, aren't there servants at home? Why did you do it yourself again? Isn't this nonsense!" Ji Ze complained at the first sight: "Aunt, are the servants lazy? How can my master wash clothes?"

Zhang's mother immediately smiled when she saw Ji Ze. When she heard Ji Ze's words, she quickly said: "Oh, I'm used to it. I have nothing to do, so I did it myself."

"Auntie, it's not my nephew who told you that Brother Zhang is now a Jinshi, and the imperial court has been appointed as a seventh-rank editor. If others know that you are like this, they will think that Brother Zhang is unfilial. Even if you don't think about yourself, Think about Brother Zhang."

Zhang was stunned when she heard this, but she was from an official family after all, and she immediately understood that what Ji Ze said was true, she just didn't change for a while!

"Brother Ze? Why are you here?"

At this moment, Zhang Rendan, dressed in green clothes, walked out. Seeing his new look, Ji Ze nodded with satisfaction. After all, he was the one his eldest sister liked, and he was indeed good.

"My dad asked me to bring you a message, and then leave after I say it!"

When Zhang's mother saw it, she hurriedly said: "Then you just chat first while I go boil some water!"

Ji Ze didn't say anything this time. After all, it wouldn't be good for Zhang Rendan to know about it. He could just remind him when he had the opportunity.

When the two of them came to the study, Zhang Rendan said, "Do you have anything to tell me, Mr. Xi?"

"Well, have you heard all the rumors outside these days?" Jize asked without answering.

Hearing this, Zhang Rendan's face turned ugly. Ever since the news about the marriage between the two families spread, there have been many rumors. Some said that he got lucky enough to get into Miss Ji's family, and some said that the kitten was extremely ugly. , couldn't get married, so he found an unknown person.

He has also gone through ups and downs, so he naturally doesn't take the rumors outside seriously. But if Xiaomao is not good, he already owes something. If he can't even protect his wife's reputation, his fiancé has failed too much.

"Dad said, they are just clowns, don't worry about it, let us not worry about it, he will take care of it. Let me tell you, straighten your waist, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, you are welcome!"

Zhang Rendan nodded and said bitterly: "Don't let me know who it is, otherwise."

"Okay, since dad said it, don't worry about it. Just get ready to marry my sister. The day is coming soon."

After speaking, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to him: "This is a private garden of the Ji family. It is not big, but it is more elegant. There is also a deed, which is an integral part of the Zuixian Tower in Chang'an." son."

"No, I can't accept it!" Zhang Rendan was stunned at first, and then said with an ugly face: "Who do you think I, Zhang Rendan, am?"

Ji Ze sighed secretly, knowing that this would be the case. If it were anyone else, he might have thought it was an act for him, but this was not the case with the man who was about to become his brother-in-law.

"Take it. Dad has long known that you won't accept it, but this is not for you. This is part of the dowry that Dad gave to my sister. Now it is just given to you first. Marriage is such a big event, how can we be hasty? I don't know how many nobles will be there by then. I would come to say congratulations if I were here."

Ji Ze looked around, and the meaning was self-evident, that is, your place is too shabby.

"Brother Zhang, as a man between heaven and earth, how can you hesitate? The rumors outside have made you shrink back? If so, it is better to withdraw from this marriage early. Don't think that it is over. The next step is the test. When you are here. If you can't even accept this, then I've misjudged you!"

Zhang Rendan looked hesitant, but in the end he gritted his teeth and accepted the things, saying: "I will give these things to Xiaomao, and he will be the one to make the final decisions in the future."

Seeing him accept it, Ji Ze finally showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "That's right. Ze knows the ability of the eldest brother, and he will definitely be good in the future. If you want others to shut up completely, then Use your abilities to defeat those bastards who think they are noble and tell them who is truly noble!"

Zhang Rendan nodded and said: "Please go back and tell Mr. Xi, I will definitely not let him down."

"Well, then be prepared and come to me if you need anything!"

When Ji Song saw that things were done, he got up and left.

When Zhang's mother came in, she couldn't see Jize's figure and asked in confusion: "Huh? Where is the person?"

"Brother Ze is gone. Mom, please stop working so hard. I have told you so many times that you can just let the servants do these things. You can just enjoy yourself so that your son can rest assured when he is outside!"

Zhang's mother smiled: "Okay, Mom knows that you are filial, but Mom has a restless temper, but she won't do that in the future. Isn't Brother Ze here? I don't feel at ease when others entertain me!"

His wrist was about to place his trust in the teapot, but he saw the envelope on the table and said, "What is this?"

After a while.

Looking at the house located at the root of the Imperial City, the shareholding deed of Zuixian Tower, and the recently issued money notes, the amount on them made the two of them unable to recover for a long time.

Zhang Rendan knew that there wouldn't be too little in it, but he never expected that the money alone would be enough to reach 10,000 yuan. Not to mention 10% of Zuixian Tower.

Where is Zuixian Tower? It was the largest restaurant in the Tang Dynasty. A meal would cost more than ten guan, and a 10% annual meal would cost at least several thousand guan. What a generous sum!

"Son, this thing." Mother Zhang had never seen so much money before, and she suddenly felt worried.

Zhang Rendan took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down, and said: "Mom, you are worrying too much. These are the kitten's dowry. You should keep it first, and then give it to her when the kitten comes in."

"After all, the Ji family is a wealthy family, and the guests there will be dignitaries. I'm afraid Mr. Hao just wants to avoid embarrassing us!"

Mother Zhang silently put it away and said sternly: "My child, your future father-in-law has been extremely kind and righteous to you. If this happened to other aristocratic families, I'm afraid you, my mother and my son would be the same."

"Remember, if you let mother know that you dare to treat Xiaomao badly, I won't have a son like you. Xiaomao is the eldest daughter of the Ji family, and her status is so noble. It took my Zhang family several lifetimes to marry her. You must not let others down with your blessing!"

Zhang Rendan nodded, his heart full of tenderness. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for! (End of chapter)
