Yue Huaixi passed the imperial examination three years ago, and he was about to leave the hall to select officials. He meant that he wanted to enter the Imperial Academy for a few years to manage his connections in Beijing.After all, their family background is not obvious, and the Zheng family has been suppressed again. If they want to make connections, they have to start with the Ji family.As for Uncle Liu Yuan, Yue Huaixi felt it was better to do nothing.Anyway, as long as there is a wife around, even if this brother-in-law does not support him, at least he will not suppress him.He could see very clearly that as long as the Xue family did not collapse, this brother-in-law would definitely be given a high profile all the time.A bachelor has no power, but has the heart of an emperor.As for something as unpredictable as Emperor Xin, even if he was killed, he would not believe that he could get it with just a six-yuan name.

Thinking about it this way, the smile on Yue Huaixi's face became more sincere, his face was frank, and he didn't talk about anything else, he just took a new article written by Ji Xuan to speak.

Ji Zhen smiled slightly, a little worried about Ji Min.Ji Min was congenitally weak, although he has improved a lot under Master Hui Hai's conditioning, he is still worse than ordinary people, and he has not conceived for two years, so his in-laws are already impatient, and this brother-in-law seems to be a bit busy.

Ji Xuan is not in a good spirit.Yesterday, I followed my father and brother to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings. This was also the first time I visited my uncle's house since his identity was revealed.As for the formerly kind uncles, the second uncle looked the same as usual except that his face was somewhat unnatural, the third uncle had a cold expression, and the eldest uncle even made no secret of the disgust on his face.Thinking of yesterday, Ji Xuan became more and more sad. He was feeling sad, and was slapped hard on the shoulder. Turning his head, the third brother was looking at him with a smile, shaking his article in his hand. He immediately calmed down and listened to the third brother explaining the shortcomings in the article.

Yue Huaixi looked at the two uncles calmly while listening to the article, but couldn't help feeling ashamed.Married as a man, the future of his offspring will be ruined, so he can still treat his brother who occupies his position kindly, without anger or revenge, he asks himself that he doesn't have such a mind.Thinking about it this way, Yue Huaixi's heart suddenly moved. If he was like this to his brother with an awkward status, what about his sister who had twins!

Knowing that his uncle had a keen mind, Yue Huaixi was afraid of showing something on his face, so he quickly lowered his head and drank tea.

Not long after, Ji Yao and Ji Xiao came over.

The brothers greeted each other for a while.

Ji Xiao sat in the corner, peeking at Ji Zhen from time to time, and when Ji Zhen looked over, he would quickly lower his head to avoid staring at him, and he seemed timid.

Ji Zhen frowned.Another child destroyed by the inner house!

After the death of the old man, the old Hou Ye quickly married his concubine, Chunhua. He was not an ordinary concubine who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife.In the end, I rescued her and died, and my original wife took over the position. The true love concubine and the two concubines' children were tortured into quails.The true love concubine died, and the mother-in-law decided to marry the third son who had been brought up as the eldest son, the village aunt and cousin who had been walking around as a serious relative in the Hou's mansion.Not long after, the third son also died, leaving behind his cousin, widow and posthumous son, who still lived like quails in the corner of the Hou Mansion.

After sitting for a while, the two brothers Ji Ning and Ji An came over, after seeing the ceremony, they moved to the flower hall for dinner.

Ji An frowned and looked at Ji Zhen, his face was not very good-looking, and he was very dissatisfied that this nephew had not come to the inner courtyard to pay his respects all morning.Moreover, he didn't go to see his uncle for New Year's greetings.

Ji Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to Uncle Ji's petty emotions, he was busy eating.Except for him, all the literati here are cat food eaters, and he is already hungry.

Except that Ji Zhen was busy eating and Ji Xiao had no sense of presence, neither of them interrupted, the dinner was quite lively.Ji Ning put down his chopsticks first, and Ji An finished eating right after.As soon as the two elders put down their chopsticks, the younger generation also stopped their chopsticks.

Except Ji Zhen.

He only ate four bowls of rice, and he was short of two bowls!

Yue Huaixi looked at the big rice bowl in his uncle's hand that was worth two of him, and then at the empty plate in front of his uncle, his eyelids twitched, and then twitched again.

Ji An scolded: "Ji Zhen, what's your manners in front of the elders!"

Ji Ning moved a vegetable plate in front of him to his son's side, paused, paused, and moved three vegetable plates in a row.

Ji Zhen was baffled.Although he eats a lot, he sits in a correct posture and moves gracefully. It is just that the chopsticks for picking up vegetables are bigger and the speed is faster.Is it possible that it is etiquette to follow you to put down your chopsticks and starve yourself?Long body, how can you go hungry!

Swallowing the food in his mouth, wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, Ji Zhen raised his head and smiled at Ji An: "Will Second Uncle be my family member or my guest?"

Ji An's face froze, and a slight panic appeared on his face.Since this nephew went out with his dowry, he has indeed alienated people from his heart.

Ji Zhen beckoned the servant who was holding the teapot behind him, poured a cup of tea for Lord Ji, grinned his teeth, and said, "Hi, I'm so sorry that I can't get enough."

Ji An's chest was blocked, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by his elder brother, and he pulled him out of the flower hall and into the small Nuan Pavilion next to him.

The three brothers of the Ji family and the son-in-law of the Ji family hurriedly followed, and before leaving, they turned their heads to look at Ji Zhen at the same time.

Ji An was overwhelmed, but Ji Ning was very happy - his son acted like a baby to him! ! !

Ji Zhen continued to eat, missing the dining atmosphere of Jinyang Hou Mansion very much.There are three big rice buckets and one small rice bucket, and the chicken legs are all eaten whole - the mother-in-law never thinks they are rude, and she smiles every time!

After the meal, Ji Zhen said hello to Father Hou and returned to Yunji Courtyard, continuing to work on his job as a polished commander. Before leaving, he left a message for Ji Yao to let him go and talk.

Ji Yao didn't know what his cousin was looking for, so he got away and abducted him to Yunji Courtyard through his wife's message.

Ji Zhen directly asked him about the birthday gift that Chu Qi prepared for the old lady.

Ji Yao smiled: "This year is my grandma's 60th birthday. It's a big birthday. The birthday gift really can't be sloppy." The real cousin is different from them. He has money and face. When the old lady of the Jinyang Hou Mansion celebrated her birthday, Ji Zhen prepared the birthday gift. But quite face-saving.Not to mention anything else, the scriptures hand-copied by Master Liao Kong, and the golden lotus seeds and petals that reopened in [-] years are not something anyone can get.

Ji Zhen also smiled: "That's right, there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, and the birthday ceremony cannot be sloppy. Although I have errands and grades, I am a concubine, so I can't surpass the eldest son to take on the responsibility of the eldest grandson. Ji Xuan hasn't married yet, so I can't follow him. Come on. But also because I have an errand and my rank is not low, even though I am a concubine and you are a concubine, according to your example, it can barely be justified."

Ji Yao was dumbfounded.Even though he is a grandson, but he only has one honor, and he doesn't even have any errands, so what good birthday gift can he give!Before this, he had never thought of having a birthday celebration with his real cousin, and probably the whole family had never thought about it, including Cousin Hui.

Ji Zhen looked at Ji Yao with a smile.

Ji Yao hesitated, and said, "The birthday gift was prepared by your sister-in-law. I don't know exactly what it is. I'll send someone to send a gift list later."

Ji Zhen nodded, and brought someone an ancient book that was silently released a few days ago.

Ji Yao quickly left.

Ji Zhen smiled and continued to do the work at hand.Although it is said that the grandmothers celebrate their birthdays, can the grandson of Xijue Chengzhong (Xue Lin) and the grandson of the concubine who married out be the same!

The tragedy of Xiao Jizhen comes from the struggle between wives and concubines, and the struggle between wives and concubines comes from Xiao Jizhen's grandmother.
