Chapter 298

Ji Wanyou was surprised for a moment, came out of the pavilion and walked towards each other.

Seeing her coming, the young man slowly stopped and raised his hand to salute.

Ji Wan Youfu blessed the body, looked at the young man with warm eyebrows in front of him, and asked with some hesitation: "... Did you hear it?"

He is not a weak scholar. She has seen him practice sword. Her father came from war. She knows that martial arts practitioners usually have excellent hearing.

The young man looked magnanimous and didn't hide it. He truthfully said, "I overheard a few words."

Ji Wanyou is a little uneasy.

Even if he only heard a few words, Xia Xi's embarrassment yesterday has been widely spread. He is so smart that he can't guess the involvement.

The man said calmly, "you don't have to worry about these things, Miss Ji."

He guessed

Ji Wanyou explained, "I did this for you... And my father. When I overheard your conversation with my father that day, I also wanted to share something for you."

Now her father and Xia Tingzhen are facing each other head-on. Xia Tingzhen uses her marriage to attract the top scholars of new subjects and consolidate the power in the court and the reputation among scholars. This will do her father no harm.

Therefore, if the marriage ends unhappily, it is certainly the best.

Of course, she's not just for her father.

For him, too.

If Xia Han had not been implicated, he would have joined Chunwei this year - according to his talent and insight, if he really took the exam, the new top student would have to change.

The Xia family owes him too much. She also wants to help him out.

But she secretly did these things. Would he... Think she was too scheming and her means were too unscrupulous?

Ji Wanyou summoned up the courage to raise his eyes to look at the person in front of him, but he saw that the alienation between his eyebrows and eyes was lighter than before. At this time, he looked at her with a rare smile in his eyes.

"Miss Ji is smart and decisive, cautious and clean, which is really rare among women." the young man's tone has a seemingly meaningless appreciation: "if Miss Ji is a man, I think she can help adults a lot."

Listening to these, Ji Wanyou jumped a few times in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

She knew that he was different from those secular men. Only men who had no ability would make a disdainful gesture to women who were willing to use their brains to do things, and would also like to keep a distance from the beautiful name.

She really... Didn't see the wrong person.

"But I have a word to ask Miss Ji -"

"Childe, it doesn't hurt to ask."

"Did miss Ji have a holiday with Miss Xu of the town government?"

Ji Wanyou was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "this is not true. On the contrary, I think this girl Xu has a bright and straightforward temperament, which is not comparable to Xia Xi's arrogant people."

He wanted to ask why she chose to use Miss Xu to deal with Xia Xi?

"Just looking at the capital, among the people who can hold Xia Xi and provoke Xia Xi, only Miss Xu is the most suitable."

Xia Xi, who is simple and impulsive, probably can't get anything good with Miss Xu.

In particular, the town government always protects the weak.

And even if it was a loss to both sides, it would benefit the Ji family by letting the town government tie the knot with the Xia family.

These are almost things on the surface

How could he not have thought of it?

I have to ask her this because... Is that the Xu girl?

It must be. Speaking of it, he was a disciple of the second master of the Xu family. He must have been in and out of the town government from time to time. Should he know Miss Xu very well?

Ji Wanyou was worried when he thought of the Xu family girl's famous beauty in the capital. He had too much time to think about the future. He said: "... Childe and Miss Xu should have grown up together? So childe blamed me for taking advantage of Miss Xu, right?"

The man seemed slightly stunned and immediately lost his smile, as if he had heard a very funny joke.

"How can --"

His voice was calm and calm: "men and women are different. Although they are neighbors, they don't come and go much - just ask casually."

Ji Wanyou's tight heart strings relaxed.

She was about to say something else, only to hear footsteps approaching.

Dressed in official robes, it was obvious that Ji Xiu, who had just returned from the outside, came over with a servant.

"Father."

"My Lord."

Ji Wanyou and the man saluted one after another.

Ji Xiu glanced at them and asked his daughter gently, "but enjoying flowers?"

"The eldest girl of Zhou Shilang's family came just now, and her daughter accompanied her around the garden. She had just left. Ji Wanyou explained without trace.

Ji Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "Dad has something to discuss. Go back and have a rest."

Ji Wanyou answered "yes" and left here with her servant girl.

After she left, Ji Xiu looked at the young man on his side with meaningful eyes and said, "you know my daughter is outstanding, but why haven't you discussed marriage so far?"

"I think your Excellency has deep meaning, and this is an adult's family affair. I dare not speculate."

"Because I only have this daughter, I don't trust to marry her easily to anyone. Therefore, if anyone dares to beat Wan'er and want to use her, I've never spared." Ji Xiu seemed to point out.

The young man half hung his eyes: "adults love women, which makes people moved - I don't think about it now. Please rest assured."

Some things can't be rushed.

What's more, it's too early - this sentence is left to Lord Ji.

Ji Xiu looked at him, smiled and said nothing more.

After a while, he said, "come on, walk with me."

The man followed Ji Xiushen leisurely and said with a smile, "Your Excellency seems to be in a good mood today."

"Well." Ji Xiu did not hide it from him: "the method of flood control in Huzhou you proposed with me a few days ago was adopted by your majesty today."

His majesty praised Xia Tingzhen in front of him, and the old thief must be choked up again.

"Congratulations, sir." the young man always had a faint smile on his face.

The so-called flood control method is not really a good policy.

But now the local people complain about it. What must the court do——

The water disaster in the south of the Yangtze River is becoming more and more serious. In particular, the water conservancy in Huzhou Prefecture is abandoned and there are many silts. If you want to really improve it, you must make great changes. But this is not only involved in the interests of local rich businessmen, such as private occupation of rivers and lakes and collusion with officials, but also a great project, which requires manpower and material resources that are not willing to be borne by today's imperial court.

Therefore, it doesn't matter what to do. What your majesty wants to do is the most important.

His strategy is aimed at this point, saving money and effort, which is right in your Majesty's mind.

As for future troubles, that is not what he should consider.

They walked and talked all the way, and their figure gradually disappeared behind the flowers and trees.
