Time flies, after a long journey, Qiu Cheng and his party finally arrived in the capital with the caravan.

Wen's family was in the capital, and Ji Xuanhe couldn't communicate with Ji Xuanhe in [-], and Qiu Cheng didn't know if Wen's family was still there.He made an appointment with the caravan for the return journey, and he rushed to Wenfu without stopping.

When he arrived in front of Wenfu, looking at the plaque of Wenfu, Qiu Cheng finally felt relieved.His master had a very good relationship with Second Uncle Wen. As the master's personal entourage, he certainly hoped that Second Uncle Wen would be safe and sound.

After inquiring at the concierge in person, Qiu Chengcai learned that the old lady of the Wen family had passed away, several rooms of the Wen family had been separated, and Uncle Wen didn't live here.After stuffing more than a dozen copper coins into the concierge, Qiu Cheng quickly got Uncle Wen's address.

Once you have the address, it will be easy. Qiu Chengxu took everyone from Ji's family to Uncle Wen's new home.Wenzhuo's Wenfu was located on Laiyang Street, only two streets away from the original Wenfu, and a group of people soon arrived in front of Wenfu.

In the past, Uncle Qiu led most of the gift-giving to Wenfu. This was the first time Qiu Cheng came forward, and he was not familiar with the concierge of Wenfu. He had no choice but to follow the rules and explain his intentions.

"Are you looking for the master? What a coincidence, the master has not been here recently."

"Then do you know when the second uncle will come back?" Qiu Cheng said while stuffing some copper coins for the porter.

There are not many rules in the Ji Mansion, but some rules are extremely strict.As far as the concierge is concerned, you can accept small money from others, but if other people don’t want it, the concierge will deliberately tease people’s appetite, keep what you should tell others, or even refuse to inform others because you didn’t get the small money. , such a concierge, Ji's family would not dare to ask for it.The same goes for other servants, this rule must be obeyed unconditionally, no one dares to risk their lives.

This matter cannot be ignored, otherwise, as the master, he will be taken away by his subordinates. The master wants to know what news and who to receive, and he has to look at the servant's face. The servants want the master to know which masters can know which ones. Sooner or later, the house will be destroyed by the servants.

"Then trouble you to tell the second uncle, I will come back another day." Qiu Cheng didn't stay long, and decided to do other things first.

The concierge didn't take the money and did nothing, not to mention that Wen Zhuocheng had ordered that if there was any news about Ji Xuanhe, he would be notified immediately.In view of the importance of the concierge, they are all Wen Zhuocheng's people, and they have good manners.Coincidentally, none of the guards was bribed this time, and the concierge neatly sent a guard on one side to pass the news to the guard Li Zhong who stayed behind.

Two days later, the Pan family in Kangping County.

"Boom!"

With a creak, the door opened in response, "This little brother, who are you?"

"My master's surname is Shao. He is Master Pan's nephew. Please inform me." Qiu Cheng was very familiar with Pan's family. Ten years later, he didn't know the concierge, so he had to hand in a name card.

"Wait a minute." The porter didn't dare to delay, and led a few people into the yard, while he strode inward.

Qiu Cheng has been to Pan's house many times, but after ten years of absence, Pan's house has changed a lot.Originally it was just a one-entry courtyard, but now it seems that it is at least a two-entry house, which must have been expanded after the development.

Soon, there was movement in the yard, and many people came out suddenly.Qiu Cheng was very familiar with these people, he stepped forward to report his intention, and everyone moved to the lobby.

"Master Pan, this is a letter from the lord." As soon as Qiu Cheng took his seat, he took care of all the things Shao Yunchen had asked him to do, and handed over the list of gifts for the trip.

Pan Mingjie tore off the seal, read the letter word for word, and suppressed the churning thoughts in his heart.His mother has been thinking about it all the time, but it's a pity that the war has not stopped for a moment, and all gates are forbidden. His family is just a family of petty officials, so they don't have the ability.Speaking of which, even high-ranking officials and wealthy households are not good, they should avoid suspicion. No one dares to pass on information to other forces in the midst of a war. Pick yourself out.

It has been nearly seven years, and there is no news at all, and I don’t know if she is still there. The old mother’s health is not good. If it wasn’t for coming to Kangping County, the old lady Pan has been supplemented by good medicinal materials from Ji’s family, and her health is better than before. A lot, plus Pan Mingjie went to Xilin County. Before leaving, his nephew sent another batch of high-quality medicinal materials. It is not yet known whether the old mother is still alive.

It's all right now, although I can't see anyone, knowing that my nephew and husband are well, my old mother can rest assured.

After Pan Mingjie made arrangements for the people, he went to the backyard and entered the upper room where old lady Pan lived.

"Mingjie, what about Yunchen and the others?" Old lady Pan was a little agitated, seeing her eldest son enter the room, she wanted to go to the ground without even thinking about it.

Pan Mingjie hurriedly stopped her. After all, Mrs. Pan was old, and she was not in good health before. Even with the medicinal materials given by Ji Xuanhe, her body was far worse than that of Old Master Zhen, and she usually spent half of her time lying on the kang Now, under the agitation of emotions, Pan Mingjie dare not let her get out of bed: "Mother, don't worry. Cuihua, help the old lady lean on the bed."

"Mother, it's Qiu Cheng who has been serving Xuanhe all the time. My son asked in detail just now, and Yunchen and his wife are very good. Xuanhe is now the magistrate of Yingzhou Prefecture in Sichuan Province. Compared with Hongli, our family is more promising. It's gone." Pan Mingjie couldn't stop the smile on his face, he was still thinking that if his nephew didn't come, he would send someone to Xilin County.The Pan family never moved, just thinking about the day when the war would end, fearing that Shao Yunchen and the others could not find them, they simply bought all the houses behind them.

"That's good, that's good!" Mrs. Pan only thought about her grandson's family.

Her granddaughter is getting married soon, so she doesn't need to worry about it. She doesn't want to mention the other sons and daughters.In addition, Shao Yunchen, the only grandson who has contacts with the Pan family, has become the favorite of the old lady Pan, not to mention that the Pan family can have today because of the blessing of the Ji family. Without the Ji family, there would be no today. For the Pan family, when they kiss Jia En, this love is even more difficult to let go.

"Mother, you rest, Yunchen sent a lot of good things. Now the prices are expensive outside, and good things may not be bought with money. I will send someone to you in a while. My son will deal with it first." A few things, Qiu Guanshi and the others came with the caravan, and there are many things to do, so we can't stay here for too long. My son asked someone to inform Hongli. There has been no news for so many years. If he has anything to say, just ask him to write A letter, and by the way, I can also bring something for Guanshi Qiu to take away. Alas, this time the borders of the counties have just been lifted, and gifts cannot be given casually, and there is a limit on the number. Mom, please help me think about what to give. It’s rare there.”

"Okay, mother understands, go get busy." Mrs. Pan has something to do, and her energy is better than before.

Seeing his old mother like this, Pan Mingjie was in a better mood, and walked out much more briskly.

Because Qiu Cheng had to go to the Ji Mansion to do more important things, he didn't know how long it would take to finish this matter, so he bid farewell to the Pan family the next day.The Pan family didn't have time to prepare gifts, so they agreed to send them to the Yunlai Inn in Beijing, where he would stay in a few days.

After another two days, Qiu Cheng and his party entered Yunzhou Prefecture City, rested for a night, and planned to visit the door as early as the morning of the next day.

The Ji mansion is still in place, but the family of Elder Ji has moved into the capital, and only the old man Ji and a few other rooms are still in the Ji mansion.This was something Qiu Cheng asked to find out in advance. This time, Ji Xuan and the task entrusted to him were very important, and he was worried if he didn't find out clearly.

These are just news on the surface, and it won't take much time to get everything done.These alone are not enough, but other news, which will not be clear for a while, Qiu Cheng can only adapt to the situation.

In the middle of the morning of the next day, Qiu Cheng handed over the name card, and the concierge of Ji's mansion looked him up and down a few times before asking someone to lead him into Anyuan, where Old Master Ji lived.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Ji couldn't help sighing a few times.The grandchildren are still promising, but the eldest grandson is his favorite. At his age, he has become a magistrate from the fourth rank, and his achievements are limitless. It's a pity, a pity.

He is not the only one who has the final say on Ji's family, Ji's mansion looks better than before, and relying on nepotism to get high is always inferior. Only when one's own family is good, is it really good.It's just that, throughout the ages, there are countless people who rely on women to be in power. Jifu is not the first, nor will it be the last, and there is nothing he can do about it.

The eldest granddaughter became King Jing's side concubine, and with a son beside her, it was difficult for the Ji family to think of it.It's not obvious yet, when Prince Jing is almost there, there will be a new round of bloody storms.With the lessons learned from Emperor Rentai's death, King Jing will not let the old things repeat itself, and he will make arrangements before he goes. Even if he does not directly designate a successor, there will be no hegemony like his generation.

Because of this, the backyard fights are all the more intense.

Among Mrs. Ji's sons, only the third son can afford to look good. That's the problem. The eldest granddaughter is the daughter of the eldest son, and she will only try her best to promote her father. The third uncle is just incidental. She has good vision and hasn't suppressed the other families , After all, the vision is not enough, and I don't want to let my uncles surpass my father.

Master Ji's level is mediocre, so far he has only been a second grader, and it is almost impossible to go further.This is still for the sake of his eldest granddaughter, otherwise with his ability, he would be able to stand up to the third rank.If there is no family shelter, it is unknown whether he can climb to the fifth rank on his own. Who made Mr. Ji the eldest son? Seriously suppress one or two.

Mrs. Ji is getting old, and now there are fewer and fewer things he can intervene in the affairs of the big house, so he simply doesn't bother with it. Children have their own blessings, and if they take too much care, it will be annoying.

Now that the civil war is over, the unification of the Jin Dynasty has become a major trend.Prince Jing is well-mannered and clear-minded. Back then, when the war came in a hurry, many officials and family members were separated from each other, so there should not be too many families scattered in different forces.For those with low official positions, King Jing only confiscated their family property and did not affect their family members.

The Ji family is quite special. The eldest granddaughter is Prince Jing's side concubine, but her elder brother works under King An's command. Although Ji Xuan and his family were separated early in the morning, the family of the elder Ji is worried that the eldest son will affect his eldest daughter. For the future, before King Jing made a move, he took the first step and took back all Ji Xuan and his property. So far, there is no trace of Ji Xuan and his family in Kangping County.

Afterwards, Master Ji's family even wanted to get rid of Ji Xuanhe, and the Ji family also had this intention.Old Master Ji couldn't stand it anymore, so he had no choice but to compromise and divide Ji Xuanhe into a sect. Very early on, Ji Xuanhe had nothing to do with the Ji clan.

In Ji Xuanhe's letter, he made it clear that he wanted to divide the sect, but he didn't know that he had already been divided into the sect, which saved Qiu Cheng a lot of time.Clan division is a major event, it needs to be announced to the whole clan, there are a lot of rules, and it will take a lot of time to set it up.Otherwise, Qiu Cheng wouldn't have just stayed in Kangping County for one day, didn't dare to delay at all, and rushed to Jifu, Yunzhou Prefecture without stopping.

Clan division and elimination of clan are two different things. Elimination of clan is a stain on a person's life. Even if Ji Xuan and Ji's family in Tongyun Prefecture are not in the same county now, and the influence on him is not that great, this point cannot be ignored.Being expelled from the family is not a glorious thing no matter where he goes, each is his own master, and the expulsion of the family will not affect Ji Xuan and his appointment as an official, and it will inevitably affect his promotion.
