Chapter 334

"Father, what do you think..." Ji Wanyou's cheeks reddened and whispered, "this is just my daughter's own thoughts and plans, and now it's just my wishful thinking... Childe Zhan doesn't know... My thoughts."

Ji Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Really don't know or pretend not to know? You have to write it on your face. I'm afraid the blind can see it..."

"Dad... Don't make fun of me."

"This is a female big miss."

"Why don't you stay? If you can follow your daughter's words, your daughter can stay with you all her life, and childe Zhan helps your father, you can save a lot of heart. Someone at home can help you... Don't you have the best of both worlds?"

Ji Wanyou stretched out his hand, pulled his father's sleeve and begged: "my daughter has never asked you anything, just this one thing..."

Ji Xiu sighed.

"Never asked? That's because Dad always indulges you. You don't have to ask. Dad has promised everything."

"Yes, my daughter knows that you love me most..."

"Well..." Ji Xiu said softly, "my father will think about this matter... It's too early to say this now."

Originally, he didn't intend to consider Zhan Yunzhu.

But if his daughter really made up her mind and couldn't change it easily, he could only wait and see for some time.

Ji Wanyou was filled with joy when his father let go.

"Thank you, father!"

"I didn't say so, so I agreed." Ji Xiu snorted softly: "as a father, I have to screen it carefully to see if this person is worthy of my daughter."

Ji Wanyou chuckled.

She knows her father best.

To be exact, I can't understand the deep love of my father for myself.

From childhood to adulthood, as long as she talked to her father, she never couldn't get what she wanted.

Moreover, Mr. Zhan's talent lies here. His father has some worries about using it. He can't help worrying that it will be used by others in the future. If he can really join their Ji family, he can eliminate his father's many worries.

I just don't know... Will he?

Thinking of those gentle eyebrows and eyes like the breeze and the moon, Ji Wanyou had no bottom in his heart.

Will he feel that this is pity or even humiliation?

Think so, must not act too hastily.

Fortunately, they still have a lot of time to get along with, which should be enough for him to slowly see her true intention.

……

The next morning, there was a light rain in Beijing.

In the drizzling rain, a carriage stopped outside the gate of the town government. A middle-aged man in Chu color round collar robe came down, with two boys carrying a brocade box behind him.

The middle-aged man came forward and reported his home and intention. When he got the word "wait" from the doorkeeper, he saw that the servant turned and went to the house.

"..." the two boys looked at each other.

Even if you have to wait, shouldn't you invite them to wait in the hall? What kind of hospitality is it to hang them directly outside the gate? Is it still raining? Afraid to wipe the floor or something?

It's said that the town government doesn't pay attention to etiquette. I've seen it this time.

"Uncle Yun, there are people from the Xia family? What do you say? The chief steward of the Xia family? According to the order of Xia Shoufu, I came to the door to pay for it!"

After listening to the gatekeeper's words, Yunbo "Oh", waved his hand and said, "let them go - cough? Let people go back."

The gatekeeper was stunned? He asked uncertainly, "do you want someone... To go back directly?"

Yunbo asked, "do you want to fight and throw it out?"

Although it is obviously more appropriate to do so, who makes their generals have a much better temper now. Doing so is no longer in line with their current temperament of being reasonable and kind to others.

see? The general gave orders early in the morning? If the Xia family is here? Just let someone go.

As the saying goes, there is no prominence without comparison? The gatekeeper heard that? Can't help but feel like you're going straight back? It's really a very kind solution.

Therefore, the disciples kindly conveyed the meaning of harmony to the people of the Xia family.

Several people listened and left with a wonderful complexion.

Then two days later, Xia Shoufu failed to appear in the early Dynasty due to illness.

Someone whispered? It's probably given gas by the Duke of Zhenguo.

The Duke of town heard that? Just sneer - angry with him?

It's the first time I've heard people say that retribution should be so fresh and refined.

But let them talk? He's in good health anyway? It's not him who fell ill - in any case, those who are angry are not ashamed, and those who are angry are ashamed.

That? It's the experience that he and Wu Jun got from their mutual anger for many years.

The Duke of the town didn't bother to pay attention to these unimportant statements. After giving up breakfast, he went to the military camp to practice.

……

"Miss, the second master asked someone to invite you to tea."

In the Xi garden, when Xu Mingyi was sorting out the booklet in his study, ah Kui came in and told him.

Second uncle asked her for tea?

——Sure enough, the weather is getting hotter. Can't you stay in bed?

Xu Mingyi put those pamphlets on the relationship between the DPRK and China, which were sorted out by himself, into a locked box and put them in the hidden shelf of the bookshelf. Then he took ah Kui to Xu Yun's yard.

This time, I saw quite lively.

The tea table is in the garden, with several Pu mats. Xu Yun is wearing a Tibetan green long shirt. Cai Jin sits on the left and a little boy sits on the right. It is Xu Ming's time.

"Zhaozhao, come and have a seat and have a taste of the second uncle's new tea."

Seeing his niece coming, Xu Yun greeted with a smile.

Xu Mingyi sat down in the only available seat.

The big bird coming behind her gave a cry of discontent.

Xu Yun looked over and glared, "what's the matter?"

Literati love beauty, whether they are beautiful or not doesn't matter, but they are very picky about what they see, because he really doesn't appreciate this bald fat bird.

Especially when I heard that he didn't go to the dining room, his position had been occupied by the vulture. One day, he suddenly went, and the big bird refused to return to its original owner, so that he could only sit on the edge.

"Jiu'er, get a cushion for Tianmu too." Xu Ming saw the key at a glance and ordered the boy.

Xu Yun sighed.

Nephews and nieces are frustrated by playing with things. This is.

Is it decent for a bird to sit wherever it goes?

And the tea table should also join the fun. Does it have to learn to taste tea?

Or is the bird just enjoying this status symbol?

The Pu mat was soon sent. Tianmu squatted on it with satisfaction. After a while, he dozed off, which confirmed Xu Yun's suspicion that "this bird wants status".

While a few people were drinking tea and chatting, Cai Jin looked at the color of deep spring in the garden and said, "now it's time to go out and enjoy the scenery. If you want to go out again after a month or two, you won't have such a good day, and the scenery will be different."

Xu Mingyi nodded approvingly.

"Now the scenery outside the city is really excellent. It's time to go out more."

The day before yesterday, she secretly took Wu Tsui to ride a horse.

"Yes, it will be spring hunting in five days." Cai Jin smiled, looked at Xu Yun and asked, "is Mr. Xu going to join the fun?"

Since the founding of the country, Daqing has set the rules of holding spring hunting every year.

At that time, the emperor will take the royal family and the children of the imperial family to the Quanhe palace. All officials above the third grade, whether civil or military, need to accompany them.

Officials can go with their families. Over the years, those who want their children to show up in front of the Holy Ghost will generally not miss this good opportunity - according to previous years, if they perform well in hunting, they will still have the opportunity to get the Holy Ghost's praise.

In this case, only a few people go to join the fun.

"Chunshou, I remember, go to Quanhe palace..."

Xu Yun held the tea bowl and looked inexplicably distant: "I haven't been to that place for more than ten years. It's really good in terms of the scenery..."

Hearing that he wanted to go, Cai Jin, who was looking down to add tea, gave a little meal.

"Second uncle is going?" Xu Ming asked casually.

As the only son of the Xu family, he went with his grandfather and father every year since he turned seven.

But I haven't seen my second uncle.

When Xu Yun was about to answer, he heard Cai Jin grab the lead and say, "by the way, a letter came to the palace yesterday to the effect that I advised Mr. Xu to go with me."

She thought that she could not persuade him. After all, whenever Xu Yun was asked to go out, the gentleman had to put on a posture of "let me go out, just take my body out".

But just now, this is the first time that he has become interested

And she... Just now she had a moment of hesitation, hesitating whether to say about the letter.

Fortunately, I did.

Finally, she saved the integrity of her Cai family.

"... the emperor wants me to go?" Xu Yun frowned and immediately shook his head. "Then I can't go. You don't have to think about it. There must be nothing good waiting for me."

Cai Jin nodded seriously: "yes, there must be no good."

The Wanfu building is almost completed. The emperor asked her to persuade Xu Yun to take her to chunshou. He wanted to take the opportunity to mention their marriage in front of the imperial clan and all officials. Fortunately, in public, Xu Yun and the Duke of the town are difficult to ride a tiger, so there is no room for rejection

So, it's really not a good thing.

——At least for Mr. Xu.

Cai Jin lowered his head, tasted the tea carefully, and sniffed the tea fragrance carefully.

Tea is good tea.

There is some bitterness in the first taste, but only those who really drink it know that the aftertaste is mellow and sweet, which is not ordinary.

But tea, like wine, cannot be greedy.

"The second uncle should stay at home." Xu Mingshi turned to Xu Mingyi and asked, "are you going?"

Women's dependents can also go with them. There are ladies and girls in various houses who want to make friends with each other, go to the palace, take the opportunity to see which childe and girl, and even some want to climb higher. Therefore, they are very lively every year.

"Go, I've been with -"

When Xu Mingyi said this, he gave a speech and then continued to say, "we have already talked with Jiao Jiao."

As a result, I saw several suspicious eyes sweeping towards me.

She didn't care about these eyes and ate tea leisurely.

She really agreed with Jiao Jiao.

But Jiao Jiao is not the only one who agreed with her.

This spring hunting, she was going.

This is different from the flower appreciation and poetry meeting held by the ladies and girls. She never joins in the excitement, but she will never miss chunshou and other important events involving senior officials and dignitaries of the imperial court.

Even if it's just to have a look, it's good to have a long experience.

As Wu Tsui said, listening alone is not enough.

"You can't just drink tea." Cai Jin put down the tea bowl and said with a smile, "it's almost noon. Why don't I cook and fry some simple dishes myself."

Xu Yun's eyelids jumped.

Or because he had been poisoned by it, he just felt that the word "cook in person" had passed through his ears and became "poison in person" in his mind.

He wanted to persuade people, but the figure had sat up very quickly and left briskly.

The kitchen in CAI Jin's mouth refers to the small kitchen in Xu Yun's yard.

When it comes to Cai Jin's cooking, others don't say. At least he has practiced his speed. Before long, a few dishes and a big bowl of soup were brought over.

The boy arranged the dishes and chopsticks.

Xu Mingyi was holding chopsticks, but he didn't know how to do it for a moment.

There was unprecedented humility at the dinner table.

"What's in the soup?" Xu Yun really couldn't help asking.

After all, he had never seen this color of soup since he was a child.

This color, how to say

It seems that it should not appear in this world - it seems that as long as you take a sip, you can cross the Naihe bridge immediately.

Therefore, rather than soup, it is more like a mysterious existence that can connect the Yang and the Yin.

"Well, there are sliced meat, amaranth and radish..." Cai Jin said while holding a bowl.

Xu Yun nodded.

It sounds obvious that they are all ordinary ingredients.

But Miss Cai seems to have the ability to turn ordinary into magic.

And the disturbing point right now is——

Who will she pass the soup to?

In silence, the bowl of soup was held by a pair of plain hands to Xu Mingyi.

Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

For the first time, he didn't envy his niece so much that no one could compare with her in this family.

"Although there is a lack of color and fragrance, the taste should be acceptable. Miss Xu, try it?" Cai Jin said with a smile.

Under the hospitality, Xu Mingyi took it and tasted it.

Then he nodded and said, "Miss Cai's cooking is really much better."

As we all know, she never lies unless necessary.

At present, this situation is naturally unnecessary.

Xu Yun and Xu Ming followed with a dubious attempt. Unexpectedly, they all felt that they were unexpectedly delicious.

Although a few dishes are not delicious, they all taste regular.

However, the sky eye on one side always keeps an alert look, a look that will never be fooled.

Soon came the day of chunshou.

On the eve of departure, in Xi garden, Xu Mingyi sat in his couch reading. His heavenly eyes were sleeping well beside her, covered with a lotus root colored veil. Originally, the normal size of the handkerchief is very small when it is put on the big bird.
