CH 5.4

Ji Yunxi shook her head: “No, I don’t feel disgusted.”

Ji Mingshuang looked down on these broken hairpins: “But you have never used those hairpins too.”

Ji Yunxi: “It’s all right. Just keep it first.”

Those things are also money. It can always be used in the future.

Why can’t you get along with money?

It’s all real money when they enter the pocket, no matter who it is from.

Ji Yunxi sat down, took a sip of the hot tea that her maid had just brewed, and said: “Eldest Brother, I want to marry the eldest son of the Wu family.”

“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough…” Ji Mingshuang was choked directly by a sip of tea.

Ji Mingxi also choked twice: “Cough, cough. This, this kid, Guanshan…Yun Niang, have you taken a fancy on him with only a glance?”

Ji Yunxi looked at Ji Mingshuang and said: “No, it’s the eldest son of another family, Wu Weian.”

Ji Mingxi put down the tea cup: “?”

Why did it changed?

He thought for a while and said: “Transferred from Pingjiang, the eldest son of Master Wu, a ministry councillor from the Ministry of Work?”

Ji Yunxi: “Yes. I think he is very good…”

Ji Mingshuang, who regained his strength, said sarcastically, “What’s good about him? Good that he is trembling with fear and can’t even pronounce the words well when he speaks? Good that he has an average look? Good that he does not know the four books and five classics? Good that the elder in his family is just a small tiny official with a sixth rank?”

Ji Yunxi said remindingly: “Seventh Brother, you have no official position now.”

Ji Singshuang sneered: “Just take a look at the imperial examination next year then. What’s more, how old is that Master Wu this year? Can he even be compared with me? They are just a small Wu family and so shabby too. How can they be worthy of us?”

Ji Mingxi denounced: “Mingshuang, do not dislike the poor and love the rich.”

Ji Yunxi echoed: “That’s right.”

Ji Mingshuang replied: “Eldest Brother, Ji Mingshuang, I, have never despised all of my friends, from the top rows like royal nobles to the lowest one like beggars and lackeys. I even treat each of them with sincerity. But when it comes to Third Ji her marriage, I have to dislike the poor and love the rich! Besides, Wu Wei’an really won’t do. Eldest Brother, you also can see it with just a glance, he is a completely good-for-nothing fellow that can’t straighten up at all! I think our candied haws boy will be more promising than him in the future!”

Ji Yunxi pursed her lips, looked down at her instep and said nothing.

She knows that her Seventh Brother doing this is all for her.

But Wu Wei’an is really promising in the future.

Ji Mingxi thought for a moment and advised: “Yun Niang, your Seventh Brother always has a good insight. Since he said that the young master of the Wu family really won’t do, there must be a reason for it. Let’s do it this way. As early as tomorrow morning, I will ask Master Wu to bring his sons to our Mansion and I will have a look at him at that time. Besides, the Wu family has just arrived in the capital only a few days ago and still needs to settle down in all aspects. Presumably, it will not be so fast for them to propose a marriage either. Good things are hard to come by, so there’s no need to make a momentary rush first. Yun Niang, what do you think?”

“It’s too slow.” Ji Yunxi stood up. “I have asked the matchmaker to come over and will go to propose a marriage to the Wu family afterwards.”

The two brothers: “???”

After saying so, Ji Yunxi turned around and walked away quickly.

Ji Mingshuang was furious: “Third Ji, stop there!”

Ji Yunxi started running away at once.

Ji Mingshuang rushed to catch her at once.

Ji Mingxi listened to the arguing war between the brother and sister outside the room, took a long sigh and decided to have a sip of tea first to suppress his shock.

The author has something to say:

Wu Wei’an: I’m really a disaster for women.
