CH 1.4

Wan Xiang looked at her calmly: “Let me ask you, what is your name?”

Baofu, with a face full of ‘are you stupid?’ expression, said: “Baofu.”

Wan Xiang sighed: “Yes, of course you are important.” Then she bypassed Baofu and left.

Leaving the silly and happy Baofu alone.

In the study of the Ji’s family, there are Buddhist scriptures hung on the wall, written by the Marquis of Qingyuan, Ji Mingxi, himself.

The incense is lit in the room and the fragrance reaches far away.

When Ji Yunxi went in, the two men were sitting leisurely and chatting about their family matters.

Seeing her, the eldest brother Ji Mingxi smiled, and said with a kind and gentle expression: “Yun Niang[1]is here. Are you tired on the road?”

“I am fine.” Ji Yunxi replied.

Another man took over the conversation with a lazy tone: “Third Ji, you said you have something urgent? What’s the urgent matter then?”

“Four days ago, Yang Weitian came to withdraw from the engagement. The two elder brothers told me that unwillingness cannot produce desired results and asked me to agree to the withdrawal, and to slowly pick another good marriage again later.” Ji Yunxi sat down, served herself a cup of tea and lightly took a sip.

The best Longjing tea, leaving fragrance on the lips and teeth.

“That’s right. Yun Niang[1], you also agreed at that time.”

“Third Ji, you won’t go back on your own words, right?”

The two elder brothers spoke almost at the same time.

Ji Yunxi first replied to her eldest brother: “Yes, I indeed agreed at that time.”

Then she turned to her seventh brother: “Yes, I indeed want to go back on my own words.”

The Seventh Master in the Ji’s family, who was not sitting in a proper posture and a face full of ‘what the hell’ expression, said: “Third Ji, are you still insisting on marrying that Second Young Master Yang? You are good at everything, but these eyes of yours really need to be cured. I just met a genius doctor in Jianghu[2] not long ago. How about I ask him to come here and take a look at your eyes?”

Ji Yunxi glanced at Seventh Ji: “Thank you, Seventh Brother. But I don’t need it. You can keep it to yourself.”

Then she went on to explain: “I don’t want Second Young Master Yang anymore. But I don’t want to take it slowly too. I want to settle the marriage as soon as possible. It’s best to be done this month. Anyway, the sooner the better.”

Ji Mingxi and Seventh Ji were both startled. Looking at their younger sister, they were speechless for a moment.

As the eldest brother in the Ji family, Ji Mingxi inherited the Marquis of Qingyuan’s title and was also the head of the Ministry of Civil Officials. He was also a big figure in the government and the public, and had already met so many capable people and different scholars.

The Seventh Ji in the Ji’s family is proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts. He is handsome and upright. He mixes with people from the imperial court and Jianghu and has countless male and female fans, and good friendly relationships with countless men and women. He can get along well everywhere and the people he is associated with also spring up from all places.

But every time, they will be shocked by their own sister.

A big girl who just had her coming-of-age ceremony not long ago, when talking about her own marriage is as simple as saying ‘I want to eat chicken drumsticks at night’.

There was no shyness or prudence at all.

The two of them were just discussing their younger sister’s marriage. They planned to make a list of all the young talents in Dayu first.

Then choose from the list one by one. In the process of choosing, they also have to check their ancestors for eighteen generations to ensure that their ancestors were innocent and their character was reliable, so their younger sister will not suffer losses after marriage.

This set of procedures will take at least half a year.

And what did their younger sister just say?

It’s best to be done this month?

The sooner the better?

Hey, this is a lifetime event.

Did she, the Third Ji, think it was like picking a chicken in the chicken shed and roasting chicken drumsticks at night??
