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

When Mrs. Qin entered the room, she first talked about Ji Heng's situation, "Brother Heng doesn't take good care of his body. He just became the number one scholar, and his body collapsed and he was sick in bed. It's good. It's not like there are doctors around all the time." Do you want to see a doctor to recuperate your health? Why is your health still so poor? We happen to have some good medicine over there, if Brother Heng wants anything, just let me know and bring it right away."

Mrs. Xu got up and took her by the arm, let her sit down on the stool in the room, and sat on the stool next to Mrs. Qin herself, and then said, "Brother Heng's illness is caused by the sun exposure on the day he paraded around the street. Yes, it's not a serious illness, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine, but I'm worried about you, sister-in-law, if Heng'er needs to use the medicine, I won't be polite and send someone to find you."

Mrs. Qin laughed, and put her eyes on Ji Heng again. Ji Heng has lost a lot of weight after being ill for a few days, and he is a bit abnormally thin, and his face is haggard, but because he looks good , the skin is as white as fat, even if it is haggard, it still looks good.

Qin couldn't help thinking in her heart, she didn't expect that he could always look so good-looking with such a crippled body, and he was also a smart person, and he was able to win the first prize. He was really a monster.

She thought so, but she smiled kindly on her face, and saw Xu Qilang sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes were intense, only on Ji Heng, that kind of infatuated expression made Qin Shi sigh unhappily in her heart He said, "What a sin."

The Qin family then brought the topic to Xu Qilang, "We are a family, sister, please don't be polite. Besides, you helped raise Qilang and became a tribute. It is really Qilang's blessing. The two of us If Qilang hadn’t suffered from chickenpox a while ago, he would have been able to take the palace examination, and if he took the palace examination, he would not be a real Jinshi master.”

Xu said, "Qilang is the same as Heng'er in my heart. I took care of him as my own son. We were all worried when he got chickenpox. He got chickenpox but he was weaker than Heng'er." The disease is much more worrying. Now that he is healed, we can rest assured."

She said, beckoning to Xu Qilang again, "Qilang, come, come to my aunt, I'll take a good look at you again, you have chickenpox, and you haven't left any sequelae of scars, right?"

Xu Qilang used a smile to cover up his guilty conscience, and when he came to Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu pulled him up and down, left and right, and saw that he was really good, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine."

Mrs. Qin also said, "That's right, it's fine. If it weren't for the two powerful women guarding him all the time, and his unruly temper, he wouldn't be able to scratch randomly, and he wouldn't be able to leave scars. His It was just right, and after regaining some vitality, we were about to go out to see Brother Heng, we couldn't stop him no matter what, so we had to let him come, and I followed."

Xu Qilang looked back at Ji Heng with a gentle and serene expression, and said, "Brother Heng won the number one prize. , I should have come to see him.”

Qin laughed because of his words, "How do you talk, kid? It seems like Brother Heng is the number one scholar, but it is more worthy of your attention if you are not sick. You just say that you are coming here. Come on. You are too bad at talking, and you have to tell your aunt and Brother Heng not to care about you."

Xu Qilang broke away from Xu Shi and Qin Shi again, went back to the bed, looked down at Ji Heng carefully, saw that Ji Heng's cheeks had lost a lot of weight, and there were haggard blue shadows under his eyes, he felt very distressed, Said, "Brother Heng won the number one scholar, this is expected. Brother Heng has done so well in learning, if I can't get a Jinshi, I will not believe it. However, there is nothing good about being a Jinshi and a number one scholar." Yes, Brother Heng is not in good health. To be an official, he has devoted all his energy to the affairs of the court, and he cannot take good care of his body. In my opinion, there is nothing good for him except to glorify the lintel. On the contrary, he is sick, which makes me feel worse. Worry, I was speaking from my heart."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold Ji Heng's hand again, and said, "Brother Heng, what do you think?"

Ji Heng smiled silently, and shook his head again. Xu Qilang's true temperament is exactly what Ji Heng likes the most.

The Qin family reprimanded Xu Qilang again, saying, "You child, you are talking nonsense again."

Xu Qilang looked back at her and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I don't care about being an official. Otherwise, I would have missed the palace examination for nothing, and I would be stunned to death."

Ji Heng patted his hand lightly, and said, "There is still a chance in three years." In fact, he still remembered that many years ago, the little Xu Qilang said to him happily, "Learn the arts and martial arts, and the goods are as good as the emperor's family." "The kind of heroism and imperativeness at that time.He didn't know whether it was time and current events that changed Xu Qilang's values, or what he just said was just to comfort him.

Xu also comforted, "Yes, you can take the exam again in three years. Qilang is still young, and he will only be 22 or [-] years old in three years. He is also a young Jinshi. It will be great if he comes out with the number one in the exam."

Qin said with a smile, "I borrowed my sister's auspicious words, but I think it's good for him to be in the top three. He doesn't have Brother Heng's intelligence and talent, nor does he have the hard work and perseverance of Brother Heng. He’s just a low achiever.”

Xu Qilang was belittled by the Qin family, he was not angry, but smiled, and said, "Three years later, let's look at it three years later."

Qin slapped her hands and said, "Yes. Let's see the results after three years."

As he spoke, he pulled Mrs. Xu again, and said, "Your elder brother showed Qilang a relative in Guangzhou, and asked me to take Qilang back and let me go to meet him. Qilang is not too young, even if he wants to take the No. , is to start a family first and then start a career, he should have a family first, and then let him gain fame."

When Qin said this, Xu Qilang's expression showed pain, and then he looked at Ji Heng without blinking. Ji Heng was also a little surprised, because he hadn't heard any news at all before, and there was no According to the signs, Uncle Xu actually wanted to marry Xu Qilang in Guangzhou.

Ji Heng said before Xu, "Auntie, which family's daughter are you talking about?"

Xu Qilang's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end. He looked at Qin Shi, Qin Shi glanced over Ji Heng and Xu Qilang, and finally fell on Xu Shi, and said to Xu Shi "Your younger sister should know that she is also in the maritime business. She is the daughter of Song Zhisheng, whose surname is Song. Although Song Zhisheng has a big family business, in addition to his original wife, he has taken a dozen or so concubines, but he can't ask for it no matter what. Son, there is only one daughter under his knees. This daughter has just reached the age of Ji this year. It is said that she is a virtuous and kind-hearted girl. Your eldest brother asked someone to ask his family's meaning. His family likes Qilang very much, and it is already private By the way, the horoscope is also very compatible. But we don't want Qilang to be unhappy, so we asked him to visit the girl's house. If he doesn't want to, then that's fine. If he is willing, then it's settled. In the past two years, we have gotten married. Although he is a man, he can't delay the marriage."

Xu Qilang didn't quarrel with the Qin family this time, he thought he had already compromised, he looked at Ji Heng again, Ji Heng smiled at him, and said, "You are indeed not young, so don't let your uncle and aunt worry about you all the time." , it's time to start a family and start a business. When the time comes, I will bring my sister-in-law to Beijing. If I get married and have children, I will be married to your children. How about we get married?"

Both Xu and Qin laughed because of Ji Heng's words, and Xu said, "The two boys have no wives yet, so they want to marry their children."

Qin Shi also laughed at this, but said, "This is a wonderful thing. Qilang and Brother Heng have a good relationship and are very attached to Brother Heng. In the future, it is the most suitable thing for them to be in-laws."

Xu Qilang didn't smile, but looked at Ji Heng deeply, and Ji Heng asked Xu Qilang again, "What do you mean?"

Xu Qilang blinked, forced a smile and said, "That's naturally good."

After that, Mrs. Xu used the matter to pull Mrs. Qin away, saying that she wanted to talk privately, so she deliberately left Ji Heng and Xu Qilang the space here.

The two mothers left, Xu Qilang sat on the bedside, with a slightly sad expression on his face, he said to Ji Heng, "You are always in such poor health, how can I go away with confidence."

Hearing what he said, Ji Heng couldn't help being startled, and looked at him sideways, only to see Xu Qilang's expression was calm, his eyes were deep, and filled with deep worry, Ji Heng was a little dazed, thinking that Xu Qilang had never had such an expression before , he has grown up completely.

Ji Heng said, "If you don't leave, how can you help my body? Don't be stupid, you have grown up, you have to leave me to do your own things."

Xu Qilang was a little moved by his words, and said, "I want to understand, I really need to make a career of my own, Brother Heng, I can't always rely on you. What's more, I am the elder brother ,I am older than you."

Ji Heng felt that Xu Qilang's words always contained sadness, which made him very uncomfortable, so he patted Xu Qilang on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Come on, you are going back to Guangzhou to get married, and you are not Go into the dragon pool and tiger den."

Xu Qilang really smiled and said, "Yes."

Then he said suddenly, "Before we came, the emperor came to see you. We were at the corner of the street, and I saw that the carriage leaving your house looked like the emperor's."

Ji Heng said, "Well, he has been here."

Xu Qilang sighed and said, "Brother Heng, my heart has never changed. If you are willing to be with me, I am willing to bear everything for you. If you are not willing to be with me, I am not willing to let you go." You are in a difficult situation. However, if the emperor makes you difficult, instead of being his official, you come to my side, and I can make your life smooth and happy."

Ji Heng was a little surprised, but then he was moved. He said, "You really have grown up."

What he said made Xu Qilang look childish again, Xu Qilang emphasized viciously, "I'm older than you, I'm an older brother."

Ji Heng laughed and said, "I know, don't be so loud, as if I can't hear you."

Xu Qilang said, "I know you can hear it, but you never take it to your heart. When I come back next time, you have to call me brother, not Qilang."

Ji Heng nodded amusedly, "Well, good."

Ji Heng didn't ask why Xu Qilang didn't take part in the imperial examination because of chickenpox, and he didn't ask Uncle Xu, who wanted Xu Qilang to enter the officialdom and only found a wife for Xu Qilang in the official's house, how come he suddenly He found a daughter of a merchant family for him, and she was also a maritime merchant. All kinds of questions were in Ji Heng's mind, but he felt that this was not the time to ask, or if he asked Xu Qilang, Xu Qilang probably didn't know. , Instead, let Xu Qilang go back and ask his father or mother to scare the snake away.

After Ji Heng's low fever subsided, his body gradually recovered, and after a few days, he regained some energy and could go out.

At this time, the official documents from the imperial court were also issued, and there was no doubt that Ji Heng would go to the Hanlin Academy to edit it.

The emperor was a studious person, and almost every day he recruited members of the Hanlin Academy into the palace to accompany him to study, to give him lectures, and to explain his doubts. After Ji Heng edited and compiled, the probability of being called into the palace by the emperor would be very high. Called in, rightfully so.

Ji Heng has no objection to this appointment, and is also preparing to join the job.

As for the emperor, he was indeed very disappointed. He hoped that after working in the Imperial Academy for a while, he would be able to go out as an official, and first untie the knot with the emperor.

In mid-May, Empress Dowager Zhao died suddenly in the palace, but the official statement given was that she had been ill before, and the treatment was ineffective, so she just died of illness.
