It is not easy to be a monk in the Tang Dynasty

Ji Mansion can also be regarded as the family of officials.

Ji Yanran's grandfather, Ji Qing, used to be the supervisory censor in the Taizong Dynasty. Although he was a high-ranking eighth-rank official, his official position was not high. Generally, people often say that the seventh-rank sesame official is like this, let alone the eighth-rank?However, although the supervisory censor has a low position, he has great power, which is an exception in the entire official system.

Emperor Taizong was an open-minded emperor who once said, "With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; with people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses."

Yushi is the eyes and ears of Emperor Taizong, who can hear and play things, whether it is market rumors or the impeachment of important officials in the court, they can be heard directly from heaven.Even if the facts are found to be false, there is no need to bear the crime of defamation.The ancients have the same name, and no one wants to be infamous for thousands of years, so even the small supervisory censor will not easily offend the Duke and County King.

But it is just that the rumors of the supervisory censor are easy to offend people. Ji Qing, who doesn't know how to adapt and has an upright personality, offended people who shouldn't be offended. He was framed and lost his official position, and now he is at home.

Ji Yanran's father, Ji Huren, lives up to his name. He is a burly man, with a height of more than 1.8 meters and close to 1.9 meters. This is rare in ancient times when the average height was only more than 1.6 meters. A sense of oppression.

Ji Hu didn't get any true biography from his father Ji Qing, but he could read a few words so that he wouldn't become blind, and his literary talents were not at all.He dances with guns all day long, fantasizing that one day he will be able to wield a sword to slay the enemy and make an invincible feat.But as he grows older, Ji Hu's blood is slowly cooling down. After all, he is not alone, and he is bound by his parents, wife and children. It is impossible to follow his own temperament. He can only practice boxing and kicking at home. Addiction.

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was a country of martial arts, especially in the early Tang Dynasty. Famous generals emerged in large numbers. Li Jing, Li Ji, and Hou Junji were all famous heroes.

"Why don't you bring the Wu hook and charge Guanshan Fifty States?"

"Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles without leaving."

Even frail scholars wear swords, which can be seen in the popularity of martial arts.

But Ji Qing is a son like Ji Hu, so of course he is not willing to let him go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds and kill the enemy. The sword has no eyes and the battlefield is ruthless. The horse leather shroud on the bloody battlefield sounds tragic and exciting, but which parent can bear the family's ruin and the death of his wife?

Seeing that the Ji family is about to fall, Ji Hu can't count on it. The imperial examination is completely impossible and he can't go to the border to find a way out. Besides, now that he is old, even if he goes to the army to go to the battlefield now, he won't have much merit.

The old man set his sights on the third generation descendants of the Ji family.Ji Hu has two sons and one daughter, of which Ji Yanran and Ji Mingxuan are from his first wife, and Ji Mingjie is from his stepwife Zhao's family. Although Ji Hu also has many concubines, none of them can give birth to a son and a half for the Ji family. It seems that the heirs of the Ji family are still a little weak.Every time he sees that Ji's family has only three or two kittens, the old man can't help but slander his son in his heart. He looks quite strong. Isn't this production rate too low?

Revitalizing the family is the main responsibility of men. The ancient patriarchal thinking is still very serious. There is no modern concept of equality between men and women.The family business is basically inherited by men, so how to strengthen the family is the responsibility that men are destined to bear when they are born.

However, Ji Mingxuan is only ten years old this year, and Ji Mingjie is only six years old.The second son of the Ji family is too young to take on this burden. They still need time to grow up.

Ji Yanran is the eldest daughter. She is 14 years old this year. Although she is not beautiful, she can be considered a delicate and beautiful woman. As a woman, she was originally used for marriage to strengthen the strength of her mother's family.

As the eldest and only daughter of the Ji family, Ji Yanran understood her responsibilities very well, she calmly accepted the husband-in-law her grandfather had chosen for her without any resistance.

Zhang's family in Jian'an Square in the west of Chang'an City is a scholarly family. The family of this generation, Ming Yuan, has an only son who is intelligent since childhood, good at poetry and books, and has a photographic memory.It also has a certain reputation in Chang'an City.

However, although the Zhang family is said to pass on poems and books, none of their children have been able to become officials in the past hundred years. In Chang'an City, where there are as many powerful people as the sea, rich people and stars, the Zhang family is only a third-rate family.

Although the Zhang family produced a well-known child prodigy.However, since ancient times, there are not many child prodigies, but very few can grow into talents, and most of them disappear with the passage of time.Relying on a child prodigy with an uncertain future is not enough to make people pay attention to the Zhang family.

However, for the Ji family, the Zhang family is really the best choice.Although the family background of the Zhang family is low, it is also a scholarly family, and no one will say that they are clinging to the powerful when they marry.The only son of the Zhang family is a good seedling, as long as he is carefully taught and cultivated, it is not impossible to enter the court in the future.

Ji Qing is a person with great foresight. If he hadn't been too upright, he wouldn't have been dismissed from office.

Since he has taken a fancy to the potential stock of the only son of the Zhang family, he can find a matchmaker to make a match. The matchmaker explains his intentions, and the Zhang family is also very satisfied with the Ji family.

Although Mr. Ji has no official position now, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Ji Qing has always had some relationship in the court these years, and in the future Zhang Yang will be taken care of when he becomes an official, so he doesn't have to struggle in the officialdom by himself. You must know that the most important thing in the officialdom is the network, which the Zhang family lacks but can be used through marriage.

The two families hit it off right away, and the Zhang family and the Ji family made a marriage contract, agreeing to wait until Ji Yanran was 15 years old and get married after the ceremony.

The current Ji family really needs someone who can enter the court in the future. Only in this way can they support the younger generation of the Ji family, so that the Ji family can make a comeback and not fall down.Therefore, he made up his mind to marry the Zhang family, and the only son of the Zhang family's master was named Zhang Yang.

Ji Yanran still remembers that when she first heard about the future husband-in-law her grandfather had found for her, she felt shy and excited.

Originally, as the daughter of Ji's parents, she understood that her marriage was completely decided by her elders. She was indifferent by nature and hadn't learned to resist. She didn't know the meaning of life being precious and love being more expensive.

She can't do things that embarrass the whole family for herself, the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, she has no extravagant expectations for her other half, no matter what the other half's character is, she will obey the arrangement of her family to spend her life, Happy or not.

However, the other party is Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang, in Chang'an City, is also a young man whose talent has spread far and wide.A girl of thirteen or fourteen is the age at which love begins, and it is easy to have a good impression of a boy with good appearance and talent.In addition, knowing that the other party will be the person who will accompany him for the rest of his life, he has already given away a heart without reservation at the moment of meeting.

And Zhang Yang did not disappoint. He won the Juren at the age of 15, which caused a lot of repercussions in Chang'an City.

Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi.This young man who graduated from high school at such a young age is shining brightly, emitting strong male hormones, causing Ji Yanran's face to dye an intoxicating blush, and the deer in her heart is jumping, very excited and proud.

Ji Yanran feels as if she is living in a dream, every girl will weave a beautiful dream, there is a paradise of hope, the wings of dreams, everything with purple is like a dream.

When this day is so close to me, so gorgeous, beyond imagination.Ji Yanran was drunk, immersed in this dream, feeling that happiness came so suddenly, could she really catch it?

That boy, the boy who wanted to be with him for the rest of his life, suddenly said that he wanted to give up on himself and become a monk!

Ji Yanran thinks that life is a comedy, and she is the buffoon who works hard on the stage to make the audience laugh.

It's ironic that one's own feelings and love are trampled on by others and discarded at will.

But now, the chief culprit who hurt me deeply and made me suffer from everyone's ridicule followed behind me openly, without any guilt, as if nothing in the past had ever happened, and the two of them were still calm and peaceful. good.
