Ji Tang

Chapter 976 What I learned!

Chapter 976 What I learned!

"Ji's?"

Lu Shisan was stunned for a moment, and then said with some surprise: "But the Ji family in Guanzhong? Is it from the lineage of Duke Tan?"

Oh my gosh, I didn’t expect that the dignified Duke Tan would have an illegitimate child?Or an interracial hybrid?If this spread to Chang'an, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of shock.

Juana didn't quite understand what the Tang general meant. After all, she didn't know much about the Central Plains, and she didn't understand the difference between the Ji family in Haoji and the Ji family in Guanzhong.

Ji Qi also knew little about his father's family, whom he had only met a few times. He only knew that he was very powerful in the Tang Dynasty, and even the Great Protector of Beiting would give him some respect.

The mother and son didn't understand, but it didn't mean that Aunt Zhang didn't understand. After all, she was from the Central Plains, and her status in the Central Plains was not low at that time. Of course she knew what the Ji family represented. Seeing the general's misunderstanding, she quickly explained: "General I misunderstood, my husband is the son of Jicheng, the Ji family of Haoji, and I don’t dare to tarnish the reputation of Duke Tan.”

Lu Shisan suddenly realized it and said, who is Duke Tan?How is it possible to do this?
But Ji Cheng?

He thought for a moment and suddenly had an image. If he remembered well, Ji Chengnai was the former head of the Chamber of Commerce of the Ji family. After the Ji family split, this person retreated behind the scenes.

"It turns out he is Uncle Cheng's son. He has offended me a lot just now. Please don't take offense!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something and said, "I am Lu Shisan, a branch of the Lu family in Fanyang. I met Uncle Cheng once in Chang'an!"

It was Lu Shisan's explanation that everyone suddenly realized, and Juana couldn't sit still when she learned that she was an old friend of her cheap husband.Whether you are in Dashi or the Western Regions, proper manners are a must.

I saw her doing a standard Han woman's etiquette and said: "I didn't expect to see my husband's old friend here. I am so polite."

Lu Shisan accepted Juana's gift calmly. In the Central Plains, such a barbarian woman could only be regarded as something for the amusement of the nobles, and sometimes she was not even considered a slave.

As a member of the Fan Yang Lu family, of course he can afford this gift. Even in front of Ji Cheng, he can accept it calmly!

"Well, since you have entered my noble family in the Central Plains, you must understand the etiquette of the Central Plains. This will be a good thing for you and this husband."

"By the way, you just said that this husband's coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon? Are you going to Chang'an to recognize your ancestors?"

After he finished speaking, he took a closer look at Ji Qi, but he found something like Ji Cheng's appearance, and he suddenly felt confident.

Then he said with some emotion: "That's right. There are very few direct descendants of the Ji family. Otherwise, how would there be a chance to join the genealogy of a majestic thousand-year-old family?"

"Now that you have this great opportunity, you must cherish it. You may not understand what it means to enter the Ji family tree now, but you will understand in the future."

"This is no less an opportunity than a beggar becoming a noble. You must seize it!"

This time, without waiting for Juana to speak, Aunt Zhang said quickly: "I will remember the general's words. Thank you, general, for reminding me!"

Aunt Zhang had already seen that Juan Anna's face was not very good-looking, so she knew that this barbarian woman's arrogance was coming back again, so she hurriedly said.

Ji Qi didn't say anything and had no expression.During this period, Wu Liuer told him a lot about the Central Plains, including of course some of the Central Plains rules.

Who is Lu Shisan?He saw so many people every day, how could he not understand the expression of this barbarian woman?But do I need to care?

Do you really think Chang'an is so easy to stay in?Although the Ji family is considered enlightened among many aristocratic families, this is also related to their decline midway and their re-emergence in recent decades.

But an aristocratic family is an aristocratic family. Even if Duke Xin himself doesn't care, Ji Cheng doesn't care, but the Ji family is not the only one in Chang'an.

Sometimes prejudice and indifference are more unacceptable than murder.If this person can't change his identity yet, it will be easier for her then.

But what does it matter to me?

He waved his hand and said: "Go over there and say hello to Uncle Cheng for me when we get to Chang'an!"

Mrs. Zhang pulled Juana and saluted Lu Shisan and said, "Thank you, general!"

Ji Qi, who had been silent all this time, said in pure Guanzhong dialect when passing by Lu Shisan: "Although I feel uncomfortable hearing what you said, I know it is a fact."

"But please also understand how a son feels when he sees his mother being wronged. When you arrive in Chang'an, I will treat you to a drink, but right now..."

He looked at Lu Shisan with his brown eyes and said, "I hate how you look so superior!"

"Farewell!"

After waiting for Ji Qi to pass by for a while, Lu Shisan came back to his senses, looked at his back, and laughed suddenly.

"Interesting guy, nothing like those people from Chang'an."

Then he shook his head and started working on his tasks day after day again.
"Qi'er, you shouldn't say these things. The Fan Yang Lu family is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes of the Tang Dynasty. They have a very important position in the Tang Dynasty. Even His Majesty the Emperor will not offend them easily."

"You will have to deal with them in the future, and this will not be good for you."

Aunt Zhang said earnestly.

But Ji Qi didn't take it seriously and asked, "How does my Ji family compare to the Lu family?"

Aunt Zhang was stunned when she heard this, but she still replied: "In the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that there were five surnames, seven nobles and one noble, and this noble refers to the Ji family."

"Because the direct line of the Ji family is one of the vassal states that were enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty a thousand years ago. Its bloodline has not been cut off for more than a thousand years, and it has a complete genealogical lineage. This is recognized by all the families in the Tang Dynasty."

"So, the Ji family is not afraid of the Lu family?" Ji Qi asked.

Seeing Aunt Zhang nod, Ji Qi said proudly, "Then what are you worried about?"

After saying that, he laughed loudly and galloped forward, leaving Aunt Zhang in a daze.

"Anna, your son is amazing. Maybe this time of recognizing his ancestor and returning to his family will be a new starting point for this child."

Juana raised her white neck and said proudly: "Of course, he has the noble blood of the Eastern Governor of the Great Eater and the noble blood of the Eastern Empire. Of course, he will not be mediocre. He will definitely spread his wings and fly high in the future and become a king in the sky. Eagle!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about your feasting on the governor of the East. If you kill the caliph who was given to you, why do you still commemorate it? From now on, live a good life and raise Qi'er well. This can also be regarded as leaving a legacy for your family. It’s bloody.”

Every time Juana heard Juana bragging about his grandfather who feasted on the governors of the East, he couldn't help but hit him. He was just a governor, so what was there to brag about?Or the governor who was almost exterminated by his own emperor?

But after Aunt Zhang said it, she regretted it. Juana's face turned pale, her eyes were slightly red, she raised her eyes to the west for a long time, and entered the carriage directly.But Aunt Zhang knew that she was missing her relatives again.Poor person, her family is gone. If her benefactor hadn't saved her, her family might have been completely cut off.

Ji Qi walked all the way, passing through Yumen Pass, Dunhuang, Longxi, Hexi Corridor, until he reached the border of Guanzhong, and then he came out of his dream-like state of mind!

A magical country, magical people, and a magical civilization.Having grown up in the civilized desert of the Western Region, he saw for the first time what a civilized country is.

The wide and smooth official roads, the endless stream of business travelers and tourists, the stable environment, and the wealthy people all made him feel like he was in a dream.

Juana is not much better. Compared to Dashi, this place is like a fairyland, the kingdom of God in the Koran.He didn't know how many times he had dreamed about this land, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized how lacking his dreams were.

With such a large population and overwhelming sense of security, she couldn't believe that there was such a country in the world?

But she learned from Aunt Zhang that the places they had experienced were not considered the best areas of the Tang Dynasty, which made her feel incredible!

Along the way, she couldn't remember how many cities she passed.But the cities they passed through became more and more prosperous, and their populations increased.When I came to this small town, which is said to be the essence of the Tang Dynasty, I realized that it was just a small witch before.

Towering city walls, neat streets, neatly dressed people, and many people wearing gorgeous silks that only nobles could afford to wear in Dashi.

The bustling shops, with all kinds of gourmet products, are so dazzling that it’s hard to take your eyes off them!
"Is this the kingdom of God? Oh my god, is there such a place in the world?"

Aunt Zhang looked helpless, looking at the crowd pointing at them. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.

"Okay, leave now, don't be embarrassed!"

Aunt Zhang couldn't hold on any longer and said quickly: "When we get here, we have entered Guanzhong. We will arrive in Chang'an in three to five days. Don't do this then. It will embarrass your husband."

Juana wanted to say something else, but when she saw the human rights around her, she suddenly blushed.She was not an inexperienced little girl. She had been hunted down by a big eater back then, and she had experienced everything she should have experienced.In the past few years, running the Chamber of Commerce in the Western Region has honed his skills and methods.

But she had never been to Guanzhong, or even entered Yumen Pass.When the scene like the Kingdom of God came into her eyes, even she was dazzled by it.

Ji Qi stared blankly at everything in front of him. He never dreamed that there was such a place in the world.But everything in front of him told him that this was true, which made him feel very uncomfortable!

Thinking of everything he had in the Western Region, what was it compared to here?
For the first time, he wanted to break his promise to his mother!

Chang'an, the residence of the Duke of Ning.

Ji Song looked at Uncle Cheng who was walking around speechlessly, put down the book in his hand, and said angrily: "I said Uncle Cheng, can you stop for a moment? This is almost turning my life around."

Ji Cheng laughed when he heard this, rubbed his hands and said carefully: "Aren't you worried about the two of them? What do you think is going on with Your Majesty? You insist on seeing them? Isn't this nonsense?"

"To shut up!"

Ji Song slapped the table and saw Uncle Cheng who was a little embarrassed. His face was not good and he said, "You can criticize Your Majesty? You are such an adult and you don't have the ability to talk?"

"Your Majesty must have your reasons for meeting them. Are you afraid that your Majesty will steal your beautiful concubine? I don't want to see if she has that fate!"

When Ji Cheng heard Ji Song's words, he immediately rolled his eyes and said, "What about me? You just shut the door on me?"

Of course, I dare not say these words.Although he is an elder, no one dares to be rude to Ji Song, regardless of the clan rules.

"Don't worry about this matter. Your Majesty must have heard that your concubine is the governor of the East of Dashi, and he probably wants to know about the situation in Dashi."

He was a little discouraged when he said this. Over the years, Datang has sent intelligence personnel to Dashi a lot. Although he got a lot of information, Dashi was a serf system, with clear hierarchies between the upper and lower ranks, and there was no real contact in a short period of time. of high-rise.

Nowadays, there are more businessmen. These people have a much higher status in Dashi than in Datang. They often visit high-level mansions and are treated as guests.

But that's it, there's no way to access the real secrets.

But this Juana is different. She is actually the granddaughter of the governor of the East. This is completely different.In Dashi, the governor's status was equivalent to that of the Grand Governor of the Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, but he had more power than the Grand Governor.

It is more like a local prince, only under the orders of the caliph.

If you grow up in such a family, you must know a lot of things that people at the bottom don't know. Even if you just hear and see, you can get a lot of information, which is very important to Datang.

As the Western Region continues to expand westward, the contact with Dashi becomes more and more frequent. Knowing the accurate information about Dashi has important reference significance for Datang in dealing with such matters. They cannot help but ignore it!

"When they arrive, leave them at home first, and let Madam teach you the rules of the palace. Don't make a fool of yourself. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, it will not only be your face that is lost. , that would be a loss to my Ji family’s face.”

"There are some things I can't say, but you have to tell her that since she has joined my Ji family, she must abide by the rules of the Ji family. When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog. Don't hide anything. This will be harmful to her and her son. No good."

Ji Cheng was stunned and quickly understood what Ji Song meant. He was just worried that Juana was still thinking about the old relationship and was unwilling to tell the real secret.

"I understand, don't worry about this. Her whole family was killed by Emperor Dashi. How can she forget such a deep hatred?"

Ji Song nodded and just said: "I hope so!"

"In addition, what do you want to do with your son? Should he return to the Western Regions to establish a branch family after recognizing his ancestor, or should he stay in Chang'an?"

Ji Song actually hoped that the child could stay in Chang'an longer. After all, growing up in the Western Regions, how much recognition could he have of the Tang Dynasty?
He didn't want to raise tigers in his family and become a scourge to the Tang Dynasty in the future!

This was not to be alarmist. He knew the power of Juana, a Hu woman, in the Western Regions. To put it bluntly, if she was thoughtful and ambitious, it wouldn't take long to pull out thousands of elite troops.

"Stay in Chang'an!"

How could Ji Cheng not understand Ji Song's worries?He was also worried. If such a scene really happened, what else could he do except apologize with death?By then, not only myself, but also the Ji family may be implicated!
"That's fine. After His Majesty's interview is over, stay at home for a while and then I'll see if I can arrange a marriage for him."

"Really? Do you really want to kiss him?"

Ji Cheng looked at Ji Song excitedly and almost jumped up.

"Don't be too happy too early. If you can't get your concubine, can you still get married? It's not even sure whether you can be included in the genealogy!"

He glanced at Ji Cheng and said angrily.

Ji Cheng had a grimace on his face when he heard this, but his heart was fierce. It seemed that he was going to clean up this bitch this time. He didn't know if he could still surrender?
