Ji Tang

Chapter 336 Are you still so happy after being scolded?

"Auntie?"

Ji Song has a big mouth. He never thought that the matchmaker of the Ji family would be his aunt?

He thought of his teacher Li Gang, and also of Kong Yingda and others, but he never expected that his aunt would be the matchmaker.

However, it seems that my aunt is quite suitable.

First of all, she is a member of the royal family, and now You Ning is considered half a member of the royal family. There is nothing wrong with letting her be the matchmaker. You can't let your eldest grandson be the matchmaker, right?What does that look like?

Furthermore, she is her mother's sworn sister, close to the Ji family, and can be regarded as Ji Song's elder. When Ji Song has no elders who can take action, the aunt is indeed quite suitable.

As for the Xie family’s matchmaker, Xiao Yu?This surprised him a little.

But then he felt relieved when he thought of Xiao Yu's identity.

After all, the Xiao family is by far the most famous family in Jiangnan. He himself is in a high position and has inextricable connections with the Jiangdong family.

He had long known that many Jiangdong families came to Chang'an this time, and basically everyone who was supposed to come came.

Ji Song knew exactly what they were thinking, but he had no intention of doing anything and just let it go.

If I can help, I'll do it for Uncle Xie's sake, but if you want to push further, don't blame him for turning his back on others.

But from the fact that Xiao Yu can be the matchmaker of the Xie family, we can see that there is definitely something going on here.

To say how close Xiao Yu was to these Jiangdong aristocratic families, I wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death.

What the Jiangnan family did to the Xiao family royal family back then was no less than what Yang Guanglai did, or even worse.

To be one of the prime ministers of the court, every move will not be without purpose and must have deep meaning.

Although he was not in the court, he knew a lot about what happened in the court.

At this time, after the Mobei War, the Eastern Turks were completely defeated. Coupled with the continuous killings on the grasslands during this period, the Eastern Turks had long existed in name only.

Although the Shandong family now chose to go dormant due to the emperor's greatly enhanced prestige, its power has not changed much.

Even because of the opening of the grassland market, they made a lot of money.

Although the new aristocratic group controls the power of the court, its foundation is not deep after all. How can it compare with the aristocratic families that have developed for hundreds of thousands of years?
The Longxi Military Group has retreated under the pressure of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and they are rarely seen in the court.

This is also the reason why the Longxi Military Group has never had a leading figure appear with the death of the older generation, but more of them have temporarily retired for the future.

Even though the court is relatively stable now, this is only temporary. There is no telling when they will come back!

Xiao Yu came forward at this time, obviously with a purpose. Although he was a direct descendant of Li Shimin, he had no foundation.

But the appearance of the Jiangdong family gave him an opportunity, an opportunity to pocket it. There must be the emperor's shadow in it, otherwise, Xiao Yu would never dare to do this.

Although the Jiangdong family is now in decline, this is the result of the imperial court's suppression. At this time, the imperial court needs a large number of officials to expand its territory.

However, the current situation is that as long as they are somewhat capable, most of them are related to the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. If they are promoted in large numbers, their strength will directly increase.

This is inconsistent with Li Shimin's original intention. He cannot use people with five surnames and seven looks, but he must ensure that officials are in place.

Therefore, the Jiangdong family came into his eyes.

The grievances between the Jiangdong Family and the Five Surnames and Qiwang Family have long made them incompatible. They have also been suppressing the Jiangdong Family in recent years.

Although he was not very useful, he was still qualified to be a low-level official, so Xiao Yu became the matchmaker of the Xie family.

Ji Song was in a state of confusion. He didn't expect that his marriage would be so involved. Then he could only smile bitterly. He had no choice but to be a tool. "The sixth day of June!"

This is the day chosen to get married, which is less than two months away.

When Xie Lian saw Ji Song lost in thought, he knew what he was thinking of. This was also what he admired about Ji Song. He could always get a glimpse of the whole picture, which made people admire him.

"Actually, they wanted to follow your path at first, but now that they intervene, you can..."

Xie Lian said regretfully.

This time, I originally hoped to break the window from Ji Song, but I didn't expect Xiao Yu to get in first.

As for the emperor behind.
Xie Lian shook his head. The emperor doesn't care who accepts the Jiangdong family. As long as you obey, other emperors will not care about you!

"It's nothing to be sorry about. I didn't intend to do this in the first place. They set their sights on me, but they made the wrong calculation." Ji Song said nonchalantly without any disappointment.

Xie Lian is speechless. You are dismissive of an opportunity that no one else could ask for?
"Are you really not moved at all?" Xie Lian asked curiously.

Ji Song disagreed and said, "What's the point of feeling sorry for those people who live on the wall? Besides, as a marquis, what do I want them to do? It's not necessary."

Xie Lian was a little unwilling to give up and said angrily: "Then you are just going to eat and wait to die? Don't you have any ambition?"

"Ambition?" Ji Song smiled brightly.

Ji Song did not answer his words, but talked about another thing.

"Uncle Xie, what do you think if my nephew asks your Majesty to build an academy?" Ji Song said with a smile.

Xie Lian was stunned: "Academy?"

He was a little confused. This was a good idea. Why did he think of building an academy?

Ji Song did not explain, but raised his eyes to the sky, with a little sparkle in his eyes, and said hopefully: "How ambitious can a person be? Even in the ultimate life, it is impossible to escape the death of people and politics."

Xie Lian was still confused, but You Ning thought of something and whispered a few words in Xie Lian's ear.

He was stunned at first, but soon became excited: "You mean students?"

He smiled and nodded, and then did not continue the topic. Ji's Academy had learned from the past and he was full of confidence in the future.

Then, he and Uncle Xie talked about other things, and they were very happy for a while. You Ning added a few words from time to time, which made the two of them laugh!

Soon, it was time to change Lao Du's dressing. Du He came to ask for it in person and told Uncle Xie and You Ning a few words, asking them to tell Aniang not to worry and to go back in a few days to reassure her.

Walking with Du He, he asked: "Is there anything unusual about Uncle Du last night?"

"Fortunately, I just had some trouble when urinating, and I didn't dare to move, so I had to solve it on the couch, and I got scolded by the old man for it." Du He said with a bitter smile.

"Hey, can you curse? It seems that you are recovering well!" Ji Song was a little surprised.

Du He was very happy: "It's really good. At least I have no problem sleeping and eating. I feel a lot more energetic, and I feel full of energy when I scold people."

Are you happy to drink even after being scolded?Ji Song was speechless.

When he came to the room, Ji Song immediately smelled the smell of alcohol. He nodded, and it seemed that he did not discount his orders.

After disinfecting the poison with alcohol, he started changing Lao Du's dressing and checking the extent of his recovery from injuries.
