CH 35.3

Fang Yuan smiled happily, and bowed to Ji Yunxi: “Please rest assured, Third Miss. This little one will definitely be able to manage it well.” The voice is clear and sweet.

Fang Yuan did very poorly in the Spring Imperial Examination this time. He was very partial to the subject. He was very good at mathematics, but he was really bad at literary theory. It is Heaven’s blessing that he was able to pass the Rural Examination and participate in the Spring Imperial Examination.

Logically speaking, even if he failed in the Spring Imperial Examination, he is also a successful candidate, and he might be able to find a job in the government office when he returns to his hometown.

However, Fang Yuan could not go back, nor would he go back. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he will not leave the capital city even if he dies.

Ji Yunxi nodded and said nothing more. She took the remaining seven new managers who came from various places to go to other gambling houses.

She never thought of taking care of these Feng family’s eyeliners herself. She is really rich, so why should she bother to do it herself? Wouldn’t it be better to spend money to find talents to help her run the gambling house?

Seeing Ji Yunxi leave, Master Ye is so angry that his beard curled up so high. He was about to chase after her and ask for an explanation, but Fang Yuan calls someone to stop him.

Fang Yuan sat down on the chair, crossed his legs and raised it high while picking his own nails: “Third Miss already said that I have the final say here. If there’s something, you all have to find me first. You are not allowed to bypass me and directly go to Third Miss. Do you understand? Third Miss is very busy. How can she have the time to take care of you? Just look at yourself, do you think you deserve the Third Miss’ attention?”

After Ji Yunxi had walked through the eight gambling houses, it was already dark when she got home. She came back later than her older brothers and everyone was already waiting for her to have dinner.

Feng Yushi is now in charge of the Palace Examination. It’s a rare time where Ji Mingxi could have a few free days so he began to care about his younger brothers and sister, starting from the youngest to the oldest.

He sat on the main seat with a cup of tea, and first asked his sister: ” Yun Niang, is everything going well?”

Ji Yunxi nodded and smiled: “It’s going well.”

“That’s good.” Ji Mingxi nodded. After asking his younger sister, he looked at his younger brothers.

Ji Mingshuang, the number one scholar, has been attending various banquets these days. He has many friends, and naturally there are many such occasions. He hasn’t eaten at home for several days.

Ji Mingxi told him: “Mingshuang, make sure that you won’t be too proud of your achievement.”

Ji Mingshuang replied: “Don’t worry, Eldest Brother. I know.”

His seventh younger brother is actually the most reassuring child in the family. Ji Mingxi didn’t say any more, and looked at his sixth younger brother.

Ji Mingyan was slumping on the table, with a weak and weary look in his eyes, while stuffing white rice into his mouth. He looked not energetic at all.

Ji Mingxi asked: “Mingyan, are you feeling unwell?”

But Ji Mingyan’s body isn’t one that can be uncomfortable.

He is good at poisons and he has also learned good medical skills for the safety of his brothers and sister.

His body is so good that he has never had a cold. Only the Eldest Brother will worry about him being ill.

Ji Mingyan shook his head: “No.”

Ji Mingxi’s face was very worried: “I will go to the Crown Prince and let the Imperial Physician in the palace to have a look at you. I am afraid you have caught a cold.”

Ji Mingyan continued to shake his head: “No need.”

Ji Mingshuang couldn’t continue to see this anymore, so he stretched out his hand and threw a chicken leg into Ji Mingyan’s bowl. Then he said to Ji Mingxi: “Eldest Brother, Ji Mingyan is fine. It’s just that his new poison hasn’t been successful, so he is not in the mood.”

Ji Mingxi gave an ‘oh’, then took a sip of tea and began to eat.

Ji Mingyan began to mechanically nibble on the chicken legs, his eyes were dull and very lifeless.

Ji Yunxi sat on the other side of Ji Mingyan. Seeing this, she threw some green vegetable leaves into his bowl, and then said: “By the way, there’s still something.”

Ji Mingxi and Ji Mingshuang both looked at her in unison, while Ji Mingyan turned his head slowly with a green vegetable leaf in his mouth.
