The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

When Ji Heng returned home, Mr. Ji and his party had already returned first.

Ji Heng first asked if Mr. Ji was in the front yard, and when he learned that Mr. Ji had gone to the backyard, he also went back to the backyard.

After entering the main room, she saw only Mrs. Xu explaining things to the stewards and making arrangements for the spring festival. When Mrs. Xu saw Ji Heng came back, she waved to him, and Ji Heng walked to her side and let her She held her hand and said, "Isn't mother tired? If you are tired, take a nap for a while."

Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "It's winter, why take a nap. I'm not tired. I'll take a look now and see if there's anything missing."

Ji Heng said, "Son, come help too."

Xu smiled and said, "What can you do for me? Hurry down and change your clothes, and go to have a good rest. Someone from your uncle's family sent a message, saying that we should go to his house for a reunion dinner tomorrow."

Ji Heng nodded in agreement, and found that he really couldn't help Mrs. Xu with the chores at home, so he went back to his room.

After tidying up, he went to find Lord Ji.

There is no suspense, Master Ji is really in Brother Ying's room in the east courtyard, but I didn't expect Aunt Liu to be there.

Ji Heng went in, and when Liu Yiniang saw him, she smiled and said, "Brother Heng is here. Every time he enters the palace, the emperor treats him differently, ordinary people can't do that, and only our brother Jiaheng Such a blessing."

Ji Heng was very upset by what she said, and said, "Brother Ying is still young, rather than saying these things, Liu Yiniang would be better off teaching Ying brother some principles of being upright."

Although Brother Ying is young, he also knows that Sixth Aunt is always mean and mean, and like Fifth Sister, he is often ashamed because of it, but after all, he is his own mother, so he has nothing to say.

Aunt Liu said, "I don't understand what Eldest Young Master said. You are a big brother, and your misbehavior has shamed the Ji family. Even the patriarch wrote a letter to reprimand the master. I am a woman, and I teach you like that. Isn't my son right..."

Brother Heng was so angry that his face turned red, and Brother Ying murmured to pull Aunt Liu, while Master Ji who was sitting next to him turned dark and said to Aunt Liu, "Lao Liu, do you really know how to talk? This I am still the master of the family, and Ji Heng will also be the master of the family in the future, since you know that you are a woman, what do you know, get out, get out quickly."

Liu Yiniang felt extremely wronged in a daze, but seeing Master Ji glaring at her, she still had no choice but to flick the handkerchief and walked out.

Ji Heng ignored her, but said humanely to Master Ji, "Father, my son has something to discuss with you, and it is the emperor's order."

Master Ji then patted Brother Ying and said, "Go to my wife and say hello, a son must understand the principle of filial piety."

Brother Ying was feeling embarrassed that his own mother had offended Ji Heng, when he heard what Master Ji said, he hummed, saluted Ji Heng again, and then went out.

Master Ji and Ji Heng also walked all the way to the front yard, sat down in the study, and Ji Heng talked with Master Ji about the sea defense and the third son of King Wu.

One of the advantages of Mr. Ji is that he is not narrow-minded, and because of Uncle Xu, he also knows the area of ​​Guangzhou and Fujian very well, and he also has a deep understanding of sea troubles. When talking about Ji Heng and him, they have a lot in common. language.

It's just that Ji Heng's understanding tends to be more general. Mr. Ji has been immersed in the officialdom for a long time, and he handles things personally, so he has a better understanding and understanding of practical issues.

The two discussed it all afternoon, and continued to discuss and improve it in the next few days. Mr. Ji spent the entire annual vacation time and wrote a booklet on the control of sea hazards, the opening of commercial ports and the establishment of a more complete coastal defense system.

After it was written, Mr. Zhang was recruited to deliberate and discuss it repeatedly, adding and changing a lot, and the final draft was tens of thousands of words, waiting to be submitted to the emperor.

Liu Yiniang talked about Ji Heng's matter, and Mrs. Xu found out about it that afternoon. Mrs. Xu quietly gave her small shoes to wear, and asked her to go to the temple to offer incense and eat vegetarian food to pray for her family in the cold weather. Only on New Year's Eve can I return home.

Aunt Liu cried and wanted to complain to Mr. Ji, but Mr. Ji was obsessed with state affairs and ignored her.

The fifth sister ran to Ji Heng to intercede, but Ji Heng didn't help this time, and said, "The truth comes out of the mouth, I think you, fifth sister, also know it. It's okay for the sixth aunt to be like this at home, but Ji's mansion is very popular now. Attention, everyone wants to come to find out some news, but Liu Yiniang still doesn't know how to restrain herself and talk nonsense, how can this work. This time, it is good for her mother to let her go to the temple to chant scriptures. If she keeps talking nonsense, she will not be able to tell It's time to send her to live in a village in the countryside."

The Fifth Sister was quite frightened, so she couldn't say anything more, so she had to leave and go back to appease the Sixth Aunt.

The next day, Ji's family went to Xu's mansion. The fourth aunt did not go this time, but Mrs. Xu brought Ji Hengying and Fifth Sister, and Master Ji followed them to Xu's mansion.

Xu's house is not far from Ji's mansion, and it really only takes less than two quarters of an hour to take a carriage. Xu Qilang waited at the door himself. When Ji Heng's carriage arrived, he jumped into Ji Heng's carriage at the door, and sat with them. Go into the yard.

Ji Heng and Mrs. Ji were in the same car, and Mrs. Xu was with her fifth sister, Brother Ying.

So as soon as Xu Qilang got into the carriage and found Master Ji inside, his expression froze for a moment. Ji Heng thought it was very funny, so he stretched out his hand to give him a hand, and said, "Your parents are here, and you are not serious."

Xu Qilang is not actually afraid of Lord Ji, but just thinks that he has to behave himself when he is on the side, which is very boring.

Sitting next to Ji Heng, he said, "I'm not serious anymore."

After saying hello to Mr. Ji, he said to Ji Heng, "My mother brought the original Nanxi opera troupe to Beijing. There are several good actors in it. Let's go and listen to it later."

Ji Heng said, "You know I'm not very good at Nanxi opera."

Xu Qilang glanced at Master Ji and said, "I know, just listen."

The Xu family's house is very large, with a courtyard surrounded by a courtyard, a rock garden, and a lotus pond. Although the water is frozen at this time of year, the red plums are gorgeous, and they are also very beautiful.

Mrs. Xu took Fifth Sister and Brother Ying to Mrs. Xu Qin's yard, and sat in the warm room to talk, while Master Ji and Ji Heng followed Xu Qilang to Uncle Xu's study to talk.

Uncle Xu is a well-informed person, and he has read countless beauties, but he also praised Ji Heng in his heart as a rare and strange person. It doesn't matter if his body looks like that, the main reason is that he can still look so good-looking, he thought. , probably still Ji Heng is not very old now, only 17 years old, and he will be in his 20s, maybe he won't be like this.

Ji Heng's appearance, brought Ji Heng, naturally there are good and bad.

Uncle Xu knew Ji Heng's insight and intelligence, so he thought it would be a good thing that he could gradually become ordinary-looking.

Xu Qilang is not afraid of anything, he is not afraid of his parents at all, he is only afraid of Ji Heng and Xu's, so at this time Ji Heng is here, he is sitting in the study well.

Mr. Ji and Uncle Xu were talking about things, and he and Ji Heng sat beside him and listened carefully.

Afterwards, he directly talked about Xu Qilang's marriage. Uncle Xu said, "I don't like this child, and I don't want to. His mother wants to satisfy him, and it hasn't been settled yet."

Ji Heng looked at Xu Qilang, Xu Qilang was a little guilty, and said, "They are all new, and I don't know whether they are round or flat, and what kind of temperament is it. Let me marry like this, how can I be willing in my heart."

Uncle Xu said, "You are making too much sense."

But Xu Qilang acted stubborn, Uncle Xu sighed, there was nothing he could do about it.

Ji Heng said, "It is indeed necessary to inquire about a woman's temperament."

Xu Qilang then smiled and said, "Look, brother Heng also means the same thing."

Seeing Xu Qilang like this, Uncle Xu shook his head and said, "Let your mother and your aunt discuss this matter, I can't control you."

Xu Qilang didn't want to continue to be bored in the study, so he pulled Jiheng out of the door and went to the Qin family's yard to meet Qin. The first lady, and the thirteenth lady and the fifteenth lady who came to Beijing later, the girls are all very delicate, especially the eleventh lady, who was very shy when she was a child, but she is very talkative when she grows up.Probably because she learned a lot about housekeeping from the Qin family, met more people, did more things, and became more cheerful, so she lost her previous shyness.

On the contrary, the thirteenth lady and the fifteenth lady were very timid towards Ji Heng.

The Qin family pulled Ji Heng and Eleventh Lady Xu Xiaoxin together again, seeing that they were both very beautiful, so she was elated, and said, "These two really look alike, so much like twins, I really don't know how these two are. long."

Xu also smiled and said, "Yes. How about you make Xiaoxin my goddaughter, and I'll take her home."

Qin quickly shook her head and said, "That's not possible. I can't do without her now. She is helping to plan all the family affairs. She said she won't get married, and she wants to stay at home as a housekeeper. "

Xu said to Eleven Lady, "How can this be done? From now on, Qilang's daughter-in-law will take care of this family. When you see it, your sister-in-law will love you like your mother and let you take care of the house? You are really a child's idea."

What Xu said was true. When she was young, she also followed her brother to manage the shop and check the accounts, and also managed the family business, taking care of everything well. Seeing that her sisters were unhappy after they got married, So she was very afraid of getting married, and thought it would be fine if she stayed in her natal family's housekeeper, but Uncle Xu wanted to marry a wife, and there were a lot of concubines. The child's own home.

The Eleventh Lady hurriedly said that she was just talking nonsense, and the mother loved her so much, so she just took it to heart.

Xu Qilang looked at his sister and Ji Heng, and suddenly said, "If brother Heng is a girl, I won't be able to find a wife."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.
