The Abandoned Daughter

Chapter 151 The Ji Family's Wishful Abacus

Xie Ruzhuo was not happy, and the movements on his hands did not stop, only gently pinching Ji's shoulders.

As soon as Ji Xu's words fell, people walked in. She didn't seem to expect that there were other people here, she was shocked for a moment, and then smiled, "Yo, Miss Fourth is here too."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded and said, "Auntie Cousin." He stopped speaking.

Ji Xu didn’t take it to heart. She came here this time but there are important things. "Old lady, someone just went to our courtyard to spread the word, saying that the commission of the Ministry of War was issued, so that Yan Zhang will go to the Ministry of War to do it soon. Pen post style."

"This is a good thing." Ji clearly knew the position, and nodded, "The arrangement is reasonable." Although she is old, she is not stupid, and Ji Yanzhang's thoughts are clear to her. But the more he understands, the less he can get his wish. It's not that the Ji family has bad thoughts, she just wants to reap Ji Yanzhang's heart. After all, he is the eldest son of the Ji family. If the family does not come out well, her eldest brother will also be chilling.

Hearing this, the Ji Xu clan was startled at first, and then anxiously said, "Old Madam, this thing is okay? What is the Ministry of War, Qingshui Yamen! If Yanzhang is there, wouldn't it be necessary to be poor?" , She laughed again, "Old lady, see if you can follow up and say, let's Yanzhang change positions and move to the household department. It doesn't matter if the position is lower, it's better than the military department. "

"Where is the household, did you just enter? Did the cousin take Xie's family too high?" Xie Ruzhuo couldn't understand her face and choked out immediately.

Ji Shi also had a look of disapproval, but he didn't say anything. Someone said for her that she always wanted to save three points of face for Ji Xu's family.

But I didn’t want to, and the other party was immediately unhappy, "The elders speak, what is the matter with you as a child? Xie’s family is a century-old mansion, and Xie Gong is an emperor. Such a small thing is naturally possible, just say hello That's it."

"Nonsense!" Seeing Xu's involvement with Xie Shengli, Ji immediately took the case and scolded, "Where did you hear the rumors, you know that with your remarks, it is enough to call Xie's family in the capital. Nowhere to stand? It's a nonsense!"

The Xu family was bluffed by the Ji family. As soon as he wanted to speak, he listened to the Ji family to continue saying, "If Ji Yanzhang is really learned, the Xie family will naturally pave the way for him in two years, but now he is no more than a small talent. The pen-post style is already praised, and you still want him to enter the household department. What are your thoughts!"

"Old Madam, what can I think about? It's just a mother who is worrying about her son! The household has a lot of oil and water. If Yanzhang goes to the household, won't he earn more money, so he can get a foothold in the capital? !" Ji Xu's face was unsatisfactory. This season, the family is unwilling to help, so let's not just send people away like this!

Seeing her confused, Ji couldn't help but exasperated, "Why did the Ji family get out of you such a silly thing? Go back to my room and reflect on it. Ji Yanzhang's business is so decided, there is no discussion!"

Ji Xu made a fuss and had no face, and could only leave in a hurry. Xie Ruzhuo comforted the Ji family, but looked at Ji Xu's back thoughtfully. In this life, Ji Yanzhang has entered the Ministry of War. With Ji Qing's temper, she will definitely not give up. She has to be more vigilant and guard against Ji Qing.

After he was able to return to Zixiao Garden, Xu immediately closed the door severely and said straightforwardly, "It's such a bullying!"

Ji Qing was embroidering in the room. Seeing her like this, her heart was tight, and she asked carefully, "Mother, but it didn't happen?"

"Isn't it! Qing'er, what you said is right, the Xie family is not really helping us at all." After that, the Xu clan took Ji Qing's hand again and sighed, "Qing'er, you You have always had the best idea. Now your brother’s future is that you can’t count on Xie’s family. We have no money and no way out, so what should we do?”

Ji Qing first calmed the Xu family for a while, and then slowly said, "Mother, don't worry, it doesn't matter if the Xie family can't be trusted, we always have another way out."

"Is there any way out? Is it possible that apart from the Xie family, do we have any other contacts?" At this point, the Xu family looked angry again, "Sure enough, the richer the more, the more stingy, look at this Xie family's style. , I don’t believe that they really can’t arrange Yanzhang into the household department, but they just don’t want to!"

"Mother, it's normal for them to be unwilling. After all, we are just relatives of the old lady, and we are already considered a distant house." Ji Qing said, flashing a sly light, "Just, if we How about becoming a pro on and pro?"

"Pros and kisses? You mean—" Xu's expression was overjoyed, yes, before they came, they had carefully planned to thank the family. Although there are two daughters in Xie's room, but his mother-in-law is dead, plus she is a long-term daughter, I am afraid it will be difficult to marry; Sanfang is also a businessman, and his status is too low to speak; the rest , There is only a second room.

"Yes, it seems that we have to make our brother move faster. Only Xie Rufei is tempted by him. When the time comes, the two families will kiss him. Xie's family just doesn't want to help the brother." Ji Qing's wishful thinking was resonant. , It's a pity, but it is destined to fail.

Just because--

"Are you that distant cousin?"

Xie Rufei looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, and asked with his head tilted while playing with Jiu Lianhuan in his hand.

Ji Qing looked at the baby-faced little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old, and thundered in her heart.

"Yes, you are the fifth lady of the Xie family?" Rao asked so, but Ji Qing hoped that the other party would deny it.

It's a pity that the other party disappointed her, "I'm the one, are you here to do something?" Xie Rufei looked impatient. She had been working on this nine-link chain for two days, but she was still in a mess. Be mindful of dealing with guests.

Seeing her absent-minded face, Ji Qing could not sit down anymore after sitting for a while. After finding an excuse to say goodbye in a hurry, she went back to the yard.

She originally thought that the young girl was easy to control, but she ignored one thing, how could the Xie family marry a twelve-year-old girl in a hurry!

This road is going to be blocked.

After Ji Qing left, Xie Ruzhuo came out of the rockery. She had thought of something important, and wanted to come to see Xie Rufei, but she didn't want to see Ji Qing first. She didn't want to meet each other face-to-face, so she hid behind the rockery.

It's just that she is not in a hurry now.

"Miss, didn't you say that there is something important to find Miss Wu, why didn't you leave?" Hong Rui looked at Xie Ruzhuo with a puzzled face, but saw that the latter's face was already replaced with a contemptuous smile.

"Some people's abacus hasn't started, so I feel relieved. But since they are here, I always have to go in and see the fifth sister, let's go." With that, Xie Ruzhuo stepped into the yard immediately.

She came in a hurry just now, just remembering that in her previous life, Xie Rufei had originally made a marriage with Ji Yanzhang!

In his previous life, Ji Yanzhang was very good at camping. When he arrived at Xie's house, Xie Rufei was already fourteen, which was the age when his love began. In addition, Ji Yanzhang was very good at coaxing people, and the old lady was also very satisfied with him, and it didn't take long for them to agree to a marriage.

But who would have imagined that the first thing Ji Yanzhang did was to withdraw from his relatives when the Xie family fell into disarray! After Xie Rufei was repented of her marriage, and the Xie family's defeat was set, no one dared to come to ask for a kiss.

At that time, she was already unable to protect herself, and she didn't know what happened to Xie's family. She only knew that Xie Rufei finally married a merchant and became a concubine in the third room.

Under the covering of the nest, there are no eggs. Xie Rufei's fate was not much better than in previous lives.

Seeing Ji Qing's upset and frustrated face now, it must be Xie Rufei's loss. That's good, it would be a good thing for Xie Rufei to stop them from this way.

As soon as Ji Qing returned to the yard, she went to see the Xu family first. After listening to Ji Qing's words, Xu immediately frowned and said, "How can this be good?" They can't wait for Xie Rufei to grow up. What if Xie Rufei loses sight of Ji Yanzhang in two or three years? This possibility is too risky to bet on Ji Yanzhang's future.

Ji Qing pondered for a while before saying, "For the current plan, the Xie family is afraid that it will not be reliable. If we want the future of our brother, we can only start thinking about other ladies in Beijing."

"Other noble ladies in the capital, how do we know each other?" Xu's expression looked worried. She really didn't know who to look for except Xie's in this capital.

"Mother, don't worry." Ji Qing put aside the original frustration, and turned into a high morale, "For my brother and our Ji family, I will find a way."

When Xie Ruzhuo invited Ann back on this day, she heard the maid telling her that it was Miss Jiang who came.

Xie Ruzhuo was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard the laughter of a woman coming from her room, it was Jiang Qinglan.

"Qinglan, why are you here?" Xie Ruzhuo walked into the house quickly, and saw that the person was indeed her, instantly surprised. This girl didn't even say hello when she came.

Jiang Qinglan wore a lake-blue water-patterned gauze today and a daffodil moonflower dress. The whole person looked soft and bright. She stepped forward and hugged Xie Ruzhuo, giggling and saying, "If I said, how can I give it to you? Are you surprised?"

"Didn't you still send a letter saying that you were in Wutai Mountain with your grandmother? Why did you come back so soon?" The old lady of the Jiang family is a Buddhist chanting, and she will take her grandchildren to Wutai Mountain in summer. The one is Jiang Qinglan.

Hearing this, Jiang Qinglan suddenly lost her face and said, "Don't mention it, if I don't come back, I will lose the sense of taste in my mouth." After that, she took another snack and turned to smile. "You still have better food here, better than what my chef cooks."

Seeing her look like a greedy cat, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but smile. When she finished eating, he handed her the tea and said, "Drink some water."

Jiang Qinglan smiled, and after drinking tea, he took out a jewelry box and said, "Actually, I am here to add makeup. Your eldest sister will be married next month. I was afraid that I was not in the capital at that time, so I sent it in advance. bring it on."

In the spring, the Xu family set a marriage, and the agreed date of marriage was the early autumn of this year, that is, July 16. Counting the days, there was only more than a month left.

Xie Ruzhuo took the jewelry box, opened it, and was a little shocked. The jewelry box contained a three-piece set of Laokeng jadeite, especially the pendant, which was a rare three-color jadeite. You may not be able to buy this jade with silver. It can be seen that Jiang Qinglan also took a lot of thought.

As she read, Xie Ruzhuo pushed back and smiled, "The eldest sister is married. I am very grateful that you have this thought, but this gift is too expensive, so you should take it back."

"Doesn't you say this is a stray? What kind of love is between you and me, can you still use these labors to measure it? Okay, although your big sister is a concubine, but I like her temperament, it is my sister who gave her. Don't shirk it either, or I will get angry." Jiang Qinglan deliberately stared up a pair of eyes, but the swollen ones became more and more lovely.

Upon seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but poked her forehead, and said, "Okay, then I'll accept it for the big sister." Then, she told Jiang Zhu, "Go and get the fresh snacks made in the kitchen."
