Ji Tang

Chapter 1427 Friends reunited!
When Li Desai returned to the house, the housekeeper immediately ran out and said hurriedly: "Sir, you are back. Go and have a look. Duke Tan is in your study!"

With a thump in his heart, Li Desai immediately became anxious and shouted as he ran, "Go and call someone quickly. Follow my orders and we will definitely capture the thief!"

housekeeper:"."

The servant next to him looked at the troubled housekeeper and said cautiously: "Look."

These people were all brought from Chang'an. Who doesn't know the relationship between his family and the Ji family? Take someone? If you really listen to it, I'm afraid you will be the one to take it down.

"Okay, go ahead and do what you have to do, just pretend you didn't hear anything!" the housekeeper said angrily.

"Hey, little one, let's go now!"
-
At this time, Ji Song put his feet up on the desk and played with a jade carving as white as snow. This was an eagle with spread wings. It was lifelike. At first glance, it seemed that it was made by everyone and placed in the hands of an arty man like Li Desai. The body is buried.

"Uncle, have you taken a fancy to this thing? If you like it, feel free to take it. I don't know what my master bought these for. They can't be eaten or used, and you spent money on them. You won't let me tell you. If you tell me, I'll tell you. You’re in a hurry!”

Wang waved his hand and said extremely boldly.

"Oh my god, how can this be possible? What if Brother Desai finds out about this? If this causes discord between you and your husband, then I will be guilty of a big crime."

Li Desai's wife was not from a wealthy family. Li Jing only started to make a fortune when he was in his fifties. At that time, Li Desai had already married a wife and had children. At that time, his family's financial situation was average, and in those troubled times, Li Jing just found a well-matched small family.

"Oh, just take it if you are told to take it. What nonsense are you talking about? With the relationship between our two families, you can take whatever you like!"

So he wrapped the things obediently and was about to kick them into his arms, but at this moment a roar sounded.

"lay down!"

"Jisong, you bastard, I worked so hard to get up early and go to the dock to greet you. How could you just steal my house? And you want to take my baby away? Bah, what a beautiful idea. Put it down quickly. Otherwise I’m not done with you!”

Li Desai quickly stepped forward and snatched the jade carving. When he saw that the thing was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief. He spent a lot of money to buy this thing, but this person still refused to sell it. In the end, he got it by relying on his reputation.

"You prodigal bitch, don't you know there's a thief in your house? Are you sending everything out? Do you know how much this thing is worth? Get out quickly and stop interfering in the affairs between gentlemen." Faced with his wife's prodigality, Li Desai was so angry that her heart ached, but she was an ignorant woman, so what else could she do?
Could it be said that he spent a thousand silver coins to buy this thing? What if my wife knew about this?

"Okay, look how stingy you are? When have you come to my house and not just followed the stuff and asked you to take something out of your hurry? Take it away, take it away, I don't care about it!" Ji Song stopped quickly, said with disdain.

"Hey, can that be the same? You are the recognized God of Wealth in the Tang Dynasty. That little thing is a drop in the bucket to you, but this thing is my lifeblood." Li Desai knew that he was wrong, but he didn't care. Anyway, this thing It just can’t be given, no matter who comes.

Ji Song rolled his eyes when he heard this and said to Mrs. Wang, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and get something to eat. You're still hungry!"

"Hey, while you guys are chatting, I'm going to prepare something to eat right now." After saying that, she turned around and stepped on her husband hard before Shi Shiran left.

"Hey, what, this bitch is spoiled. You are here today. In the past, if I told her to go east, she would never dare to go west, and if I told her to chase chickens, she would never dare to walk the dog."

"Oh, oh!"

Ji Song said with contempt on his face: "Who doesn't know about that little thing about you? You still don't dare. Who was the one who was beaten before and didn't dare to go home? And that time?"

"Okay, okay, stop talking. Can I please beg you, brother? Do you still remember that embarrassing thing about Chen Zhizhi and rotten millet?" Li Desai quickly interrupted Ji Song. If he continues talking, , even the fact that I wet the bed when I was six years old had to be told. After all, he is now a governor and a high-ranking member of the imperial court. If this spreads out, will he be laughed at? What kind of face do you have?

Seeing that he was anxious, Ji Song smiled and stopped talking. Instead, he stood up, looked around the study, and said, "Not bad, there are quite a lot of good things."

"I said I didn't see you studying when you were in Chang'an. What's the matter? When you came to Jiangdong, you started pretending to be a scholar? Your only son's little ink is not enough to embarrass you. Giving you a good thing is considered a secret investment."

"Otherwise, you might as well give it to me. I'll have someone give you some more things later. The storage will be a hundred times better than your study room that just decorates the facade!"

"How about it?"

"Not good!" Li Desai finally saw clearly. He had no hope of hearing anything good from this guy in his life. In order to prevent this guy from continuing to cause trouble and worry about his good things, he quickly pulled him out.

Li Desai's mansion is pretty good, with rockery, flowing water, carved eaves and painted buildings, and the atmosphere of a Jiangnan water town is oncoming. Compared to the mansions in the north, this place seems more interesting and elegant, and this guy really knows how to enjoy it.

"I said, what's going on with you? People are here to greet you, but it's better for you to just disappear and run away? What do you think? Aren't you worried about them being separated from you?"

The Li family, the Cheng family, and the Qin family were all families that advanced and retreated with the Ji family. Naturally, he knew that these people in Jiangdong were considered his own family. Ji Song lets others go like this, I'm afraid he will murmur in his heart.

"You think too much. When you can bring benefits to everyone, even if you ignore him, those people will flock to him. If one day they can no longer get any benefits from me, they will be like a loser. He threw me away like garbage and even stepped on me a few times.”

"You, you are still a little short-sighted. No wonder the old man told you not to enter the court. For people like you, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out intact."

The two of them have been friends for decades, so Ji Song didn't care about his face at all when he spoke. If you can't even listen to this bit of truth, then there is no need to continue this relationship, even if he is ugly!
"You, your mouth is still so damaged!"

Li Desai drank a drink and sighed: "Who is this old man? I am his son, how can he still not see through me? If I were young, I would have been unconvinced, but looking at the situation in the court in the past few years, I finally figured it out, that’s not where I should go!”

He poured a glass and saluted Ji Song: "Thank you for the past few years!"

After finishing the drink, he looked at Ji Song and sighed: "When I learned that your legs were healed, do you know how happy I was? I was drunk that night. This was the only time I got drunk after the old man left."

"The reason why I have been so stable in the past few years is that I know you have done a lot of things later. Although I don't know what the old man wrote in the last letter to you, it is not difficult to guess that 90% of the time he asked you to take care of the Li family. The reason why you don't let me know is because you are afraid of embarrassing me!" He smiled bitterly and said: "The old man has never begged anyone in his life. Even if he was suspected by His Majesty, he could only open the door to show his openness. I didn’t even think about admitting my mistake and asking for help.”

"But who would have thought that when I'm dying, it's so shameful to beg for help from someone like me, who is worthless!"

clap~
He slapped himself hard several times on the face, and then said with red eyes: "My father offended a lot of people back then. If they hadn't looked at your face, they would have pounced on you and tore the Li family apart." Shattered.”

"Brother, thank you, brother!"

Ji Song slapped his shoulder and said angrily: "Since we are brothers, just say thank you. If the old man hadn't come in time, I would have died in Mobei. This is a life-saving grace. I should help you." Yes, don’t think too much about it!”

Ji Song was worried that this guy would get into trouble, but he was obviously overly worried.

"Okay, since we are brothers, look at your piece of beautiful jade that has not yet been carved."

"Go away~"

"Hahahaha~"
-
After not seeing each other for many years, Ji Song also completely let go, and his drinking became a little blurry.

"Over the years, all the good friends from the past have gone their separate ways, including Changsun Chong, Fang Yiai, Du He, Shu Yu, and Chu Si and Bao Lin."

"Pauline, what a pity!"

If Ji Song had not made a decisive decision and uncovered the Xuanzhou corruption case on his own, or if it had waited until it completely broke out, no one would have been able to save him by then. I think Uncle Yuchi has been a hero all his life. If a white-haired man gives a black-haired man a gift, I'm afraid he really won't be able to bear it!

"Pauline is in the navy now, which is my brother's territory. He can be regarded as a man who knows his shame and is brave. He has made many meritorious deeds in recent years. He is now a general in command of more than ten warships and thousands of navy officers."

"I think Uncle Yuchi has a good heart, but Pauline is not a civil servant. She is too trusting. It would be good to be in the army, that's where he should go."

Ji Song was also lamenting, but if it wasn't for the sake of future generations, how could Yuchi Gong let his legitimate son give up military resources and become a civil servant?
They were all forced!

"Okay, just live well, then we can rest assured!" Li Desai sighed.

"Stop talking about them, let's talk about you. How have you been these past years? Every time you write in, you always report good news but not bad news. Do you think you can treat me as a brother?" Ji Song said dissatisfied.

"Brother? Haha, that's you. Now you are amazing. You used to be the pillar of the army and the head of Wuying Pavilion. Even several prime ministers didn't look down upon you when they saw you. It can be said that you are inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. "

"How dare I treat you as a brother? Now that I'm no longer an official, I dare to say some heart-breaking words to you!"

Ji Song listened quietly. Why didn't he know this? But it's so cold up there, and sitting in that position, the feelings of the world can't explain anything.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes stare at me every day, waiting for me to make a mistake. Why don't these former brothers understand this? So everyone deliberately kept a distance from themselves. Even if something happened, they would not easily go to him, for fear of causing trouble to him.

Because they knew that as long as he, Ji Song, was alive, he would be their greatest protection. Once he falls, it will be a huge disaster. When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?

"It doesn't matter if you don't serve as the head of the pavilion. We all know your temperament. It sounds nice to be in that position, but who wouldn't be frightened? Didn't everyone know what was going on with my old man back then?"

"It's good now. You've preserved your reputation and fulfilled your duty as king and minister. With your relationship with His Majesty, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, no one can do anything to you."

Li Desai was obviously drunk and fell asleep while talking. Ji Song secretly sighed, they are all smart people. Even Li Desai, the most dull brother in the past, saw his crisis. He was very out of touch some time ago. Fortunately, I woke up in time, otherwise I'm afraid...
"Go take your master to rest!"

He waved to the butler who was hiding behind the moon gate, and he also yawned. He hadn't stopped since he got off the boat today, but if he was tired——
During this period of time, Ji Song lived a very leisurely life. Every day he was either traveling around the mountains and rivers, or taking his children on study tours, giving lectures wherever he went.

Qili Lotus Pond, Huqiu Mountain, Hanshan Temple, Xuanmiao Temple
Their footprints were left everywhere in the scenic spots, and the children were very happy. Not only did they learn the knowledge in the books, but they also learned things that were not in the books.

Such teaching was an eye-opener for Li Desai, who had been following him. If his grandson hadn't been around, he would have stuffed him in right away!
Xiao Haoer lived up to expectations. Under the leadership of Lao Sun, he went into the deep mountains and forests to pick medicinal materials, and was even more busy. Of course, for their safety, Ji Song sent out many guards.

And You Ning took his three concubines to visit his former relatives, and also attended the gathering of the Jiangdong family on behalf of Ji Song, but without Ji Song present, it was a bit dull. But with Zhang Renli here, Ji Song doesn't worry about this.

He believed that everyone was not fools. Ji Song no longer held a real position. If he continued to hang out with them, there would be no guarantee that there would be no rumors in the court. Now he wishes that everyone would forget about him, let alone be in the limelight!

This is of no benefit to anyone, and may even arouse dissatisfaction and suspicion from the people above!
They stayed in Jisong, Suzhou for three months, and just when they were about to set off again to visit their second son in the Southern Sect of the Ji family, an uninvited guest came, which made Youning, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly turn cold. !
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here, please leave!"

Ji Song sat aside, facing his wife's scolding, but acted as if he didn't hear it, and teased the birds he had just taken out to feed them!

"Niece You Ning."

"Shut up, there is no niece of yours here. I am the wife of the current Duke of Tan, Princess Jiankang. Where did you get your niece from?"

You Ning sneered and said, "Relatives cannot be recognized randomly."

The visitor was none other than her second uncle, Xie Yi. Although they did not bully their family excessively, they still stood aside and showed no kinship at all. The uncle passed away early, and he was the current head of the family. As long as he had stood up and said something fair, their family would not have been unable to stay there, and had to go north to Chang'an with the help of grandpa to find a way out!

Are you here to recognize your relatives now? late!
She is no longer the little girl who was helpless when she saw her family being bullied. Now he, even the nobles in Chang'an, dare not look down upon her, let alone the declining Xie family?
