When Guo met for an alliance, the Marquis of Jin ordered all the countries to send their ministers to attend the meeting.
When it comes to Zheng Guo, Han Hu is naturally the most suitable person. After all, he is the chief minister of Zheng Guo.
But he was also worried that he was still inexperienced and could not handle the task and could not cope with sudden crises.
"Haha, Zipi, please relax. Ziming can accompany you on this journey. Ziming has a close relationship with Prince Chu of Chu, and he is quite capable of doing things. With him by his side, Zipi can do whatever he wants. sit back and relax."
In the end, Zichan naturally pushed Li Ran to the front desk. As previously discussed.
Han Hu couldn't help but cast his eyes on Li Ran again, and Li Ran immediately bowed with his head in his mouth.
"Very good. Zi Ming's talent is well known to the world. If we can get Zi Ming's help, this trip will be safe."
At this point, Han Hu was finally relieved of his worries.
And this matter was settled.
…
After finishing his business, Li Ran finally returned to Jishi's home. Ji Le had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Li Ran's dusty appearance, he couldn't hold back the thoughts in his heart, so he immediately came over.
"Husband!"
"fun!"
The two were separated for a long time, and for a moment they forgot about propriety and embraced each other in public.
Newlyweds and long separation are the most difficult thoughts to express in the world, but this is it.
It wasn't until Ji Xian coughed slightly that the two of them reacted. Ji Le immediately blushed and let go of his hand, but still held Li Ran's arm and stayed close to him, as if he was afraid that if he let go, Li Ran would leave again. Similar.
"Go and wash up first. I have something else to say to you later."
Ji glanced around first and was a little unhappy with Li Ran's smelly sweat, so he immediately turned around and entered the house.
But Ji Le pouted and said unhappily:
"Besides, when he was busy inside and outside, how could he not be covered in stinky sweat? Humph, now he can't bear to see others like this?"
After Li Ran heard this, he immediately laughed out loud.
"Huh? Husband, why are you laughing?"
Ji Le looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Li Ran joked:
"I'm thinking about my husband. If you give me a daughter like you who only speaks for your husband's family, wouldn't my husband suffer a big loss?"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Le's little face suddenly turned red.
"Ouch! My husband hates me!"
"Who said that I'm going to have a daughter?"
The two chatted and laughed and went straight back to their yard.
After Li Ran changed his clothes, he came to the front hall again accompanied by Ji Le. Ji Xian had been waiting for a long time, and there were Ji Yi and Ji Xun standing aside.
"What do you think of the Guo Di Alliance?"
Ji Xian was still very concerned about this meeting in Guodi. After all, it was related to the relationship between Jin and Chu. As a businessman, the most important thing is to be friendly and make money. If Jin and Chu are at odds with each other, it will undoubtedly be an embarrassing thing for their Ji clan.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, this alliance meeting in Guodi will be without any hindrance, and all countries will be present."
How could Li Ran not understand what Ji Xian was thinking? Hearing the sound, he immediately replied bluntly.
"Well...that's very good."
"After the meeting of the annihilation of troops, I, the Ji family, sat in the heart of the world and connected the north, south, east and west. Only in this way can we prosper today."
"If this meeting in Guodi becomes the beginning of hostilities between the princes and the Chu State, and war breaks out again, my clan will definitely be affected."
Ji Xian said as he spoke, but his face was full of relief.
For him, national affairs are naturally important, but compared with the survival and development of his clan, the rise and fall of the family is naturally more important.
"Although you are now a traveler, you are still the head of my family, and you have to be careful about some things. You should have an idea in mind."
In Ji Xian's eyes, although Li Ran was a traveler of the Zheng Kingdom, he was still the head of Ji's family first. The order and importance were clear at a glance.
What he meant was just to remind Li Ran that some things were good for Zheng Guo, but not necessarily good for the Ji clan. This meant that Li Ran had to grasp the balance between them.
"My son-in-law must remember what my father-in-law said."
"By the way, Kong'er and Xun'er have been following me to take care of the affairs of the clan these days, and they have made considerable progress. Zi Ming, if you have some free time, why not make some arrangements for them as well."
When the topic changed, Ji Xian actually asked Li Ran to arrange work for Ji Zong and Ji Xun. In fact, this is also a disguised reminder to Li Ran.
"In that case, I'd better wait for my son-in-law and Le'er to look through the recent accounts together before making a decision."
Li Ran bowed and responded without any panic.
Hearing the sound, Ji Xian also nodded slightly, seeming to be very satisfied.
So Ji Wang and Ji Xun followed Li Ran to the "Jian Nei" where the account books were kept in the Ji clan.
"Ziming, it's okay for you to be cautious in front of dad, but in front of our brothers, there's no need to take it seriously, right?"
Ji Zeng is still smart, but his little cleverness may not be focused on serious business.
He felt that Li Ran's "cautiousness" was right in front of his father. After all, his father is also a cautious person.
But now in private, with just the three of them, Li Ran doesn't seem to need to check the account books seriously, does he?
Unexpectedly, Li Ran shook his head when he heard the sound and said:
"Humph, you guys underestimate your father too much!"
"Since he asked me to arrange something for you, he means to continue to test you two. If I don't find some errors and omissions in your account books, my father-in-law will definitely think that I am doing favoritism for you. Then it will be very serious. But for you, even I can’t escape being served by family law!”
It turned out that Li Ran had seen through the intention of worshiping the ancestor early on.
Ji Xian is the head of the Ji family, and he has the power to determine what he says.
But he just let Li Ran, the head of the family, arrange things for Ji Zeng and Ji Xun. Isn't this a disguised reminder to Li Ran that he wants to continue to test and hone Ji Zong and Ji Xun?
Ji Zeng and Ji Xun couldn't see Ji Xian's intention. That was because they didn't have the brains, but how could Li Ran not see it?
"Ah? Our dad doesn't mean that, right?"
Ji Xun asked tentatively.
Li Ran immediately rolled his eyes at him and thought to himself: If you say you are not on the right path, you really just lie down where you are, right?
"Our dad has a hundred thoughts in a sentence. Whether he means it or not, we have to act with caution."
"What if he makes a mistake...Do you still remember how he dealt with Brother Meng?"
As soon as Li Ran mentioned raising a cow, the two of them immediately became speechless.
"Ah, brother Ziming! From now on, you have to help us two brothers. Do you think we were responsible for your marriage to Le'er?..."
"Oh, don't worry. This Ji clan's family business will be handed over to you no matter what in the future. Le'er and I are just doing things for you now."
Li Ran glanced at the two of them, sighed again, and couldn't help but think to himself:
If Jishi's family business is really handed over to the two of them, I'm afraid Jishi's good days will really come to an end.
What a pity, what a pity.
