Seeing the faces of Li Mi and others, Ji Jun knew that there was no hope for her to request a seal for her uncle, Yi'er and herself.
But she still harbors fantasies, thinking that she might be able to give some rewards, such as gold and silver, or something that can be exchanged for gold and silver, such as jewelry, brocade cloth...
Another example is farm property.
Ji Jun remembers reading the novel "Gone with the Wind" and the movie "Gone with the Wind", in which Scarlett's father has a classic line:
Land is the only thing in the world worth working for, fighting for, and dying for, because it is the only thing that lasts.
Now the uncle and the aunt are guarding the border. When they return in old age in the future, they will not be the only ones.
Moreover, according to the uncle's temperament, he will definitely take care of those soldiers who were killed or disabled in battle and their families.
The imperial pension alone is definitely not enough.
Even adding the salary of the uncle and aunt is still a drop in the bucket.
This involves the issue of "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure". How to "increase revenue"?
Ji Jun feels that the property under his parents' names belongs to the category of "financial management". When doing business, there will be profits and losses.
Moreover, the fact that the "good neighbor" was poisoned gave Ji Jun a strong sense of crisis:
I don’t know which comes first, the accident or tomorrow.
This time, it was poisoning, next time it might be "arson"!
At that time, not to mention that "good neighbors" cannot make money, funds will have to be allocated from other places to deal with the aftermath of "good neighbors".
Therefore, these shops seem to be very prosperous at present, but in Ji Jun's heart, he always feels particularly unstable and unreliable.
It seems that in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Qin Keqing entrusted Wang Xifeng with a dream, and the things he told him were really practical!
Didn't Qin Keqing say:
Taking advantage of today's wealth and wealth, he built more farms, houses, and acres of land near his ancestors' tombs to prepare for sacrifices... He was guilty, and his property could be transferred to the official, but not even the official could transfer the sacrificial property.
If, like in the previous life, the Duke of Li's family "failed", he would have to have a place to stay as long as he was still alive.
She never expected that she would just give her uncle a letter of commendation that said "Serve the country with all your heart, no effort is wasted"!
Ji Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, because, not surprisingly, but also because he had no strength.
Ji Min was very sad, mostly because Ji Jun had paid so much for the Li family army, Duke Li's palace and his own parents.
But in the end, there was almost nothing!
What's more, you can't write two wishes in one sentence!
Ji Jun had the right to be aggrieved, so wouldn’t she be aggrieved?
Ji Min really didn't know what to say to comfort Ji Jun.
She felt deeply powerless and helpless.
Zhou Huan was okay, his face was as calm as ever.
Zhou Biao couldn't suppress his anger. From the looks of it, it was possible that there might be a quarrel.
Li Mi was very embarrassed and worried.
Ji Jun could guess by looking at their faces that the original words would be unpleasant to hear.
Ji Jun suddenly wanted to laugh, remembering his past life for no reason.
That year, due to an emergency, my best friend started working from the second day of the first lunar month until the Dragon Boat Festival, without weekends. There is a shift every three or four days.
Then, the lunch box provided by the work unit was not given to her.
Those who are not on duty can receive their lunch boxes and take them home.
Some people even opened it and saw that the food was unpalatable, so they threw it directly into the trash can.
My best friend went to apply, but turned out to be "short-sighted," "greedy," and "careful about everything."
There are also other unpleasant things like "ignoring the overall situation", "causing obstacles for the leadership", "not letting go of any advantage", etc.
The leader also spoke plausibly:
"Your employer gives you a salary every month, and you can buy thousands of lunch boxes! Why are you just staring at these few lunch boxes?"
Later, when calculating the workload, the leader counted the best friend's "service" days as "blank"!
The leader said:
"Everyone on duty has records of receiving lunch boxes, but you don't, so you are not on duty!"
Finally, it was resolved step by step until it was reported to the hall.
My bestie is heartbroken.
At that time, Ji Jun didn't understand his best friend and felt that it wasn't worth it. It's not a huge amount of money.
But my best friend shook her head in disapproval:
"Even if it's a penny, I still deserve it! It's their fault if they don't give it to me! It's them who abused their power and used their power to oppress others, but it's not that I don't deserve it!"
Ji Jun didn't look at the crowd and looked elsewhere.
Anyone could tell that she was unhappy and uncomfortable.
However, her voice was able to calmly ask:
"What did the Lord of the Ministry of War say?"
The Ministry of War is now in charge of Chen Guogong, which means that Chen Guogong is the acting minister.
Chen Guogong said:
"I will never allow anyone to use the lives of thousands of soldiers to blackmail the imperial court for their own benefit!"
Chen Guogong Chen Zhuoxin said:
"General Ji, you are loyal to the country. Why are your family members so greedy and careless? Isn't this ruining the reputation of Duke Li and General Zhenyuan? I think this is just a merchant girl who doesn't know etiquette, doesn't understand state affairs, and doesn't want to cooperate with others." If there is a quarrel next time, I will be severely punished!"
Ji Jun cursed secretly:
What a beeping dog! I'm talking about salary with you, but you're talking about feelings to me!
The contributions I have made to thousands of soldiers are worthless! You shouldn’t have to pay for it at all!
Your love is so boundless, why don't you resign your title of Chen Guogong, or donate all your wealth!
Why the hell did you have more than thirty concubines and wives, and gave birth to so many concubines and concubines!
Your concubine, first-in-law, and children are all one strengthened couple, okay?
How much food do you need to eat!
"Pa!" A tear fell on the back of his hand.
Somehow, for a moment, Ji Yun's heart was as sharp as a knife.
I don’t know if it’s for the past life that I can never go back to, for my best friend who couldn’t understand it at the time but feels the same now, or for myself now…
On his smiling face, he was smiling and laughing, and tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
"Cousin!" Ji Yan choked and shouted, and then tears flowed down.
"Cousin!" Li Mi exclaimed.
Ji Jun raised his hand to express that he was fine.
She quickly wiped away her tears, turned around and smiled:
"Eldest Young Master, two princes, let's talk about Chen Guogong!"
Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao looked at each other with a hint of surprise.
Ji Jun took a deep breath and smiled:
"Chen Guogong, I heard that he was established after the new year. Let me guess what he is. He is well-dressed and sitting upright in the court. But in fact, he is sanctimonious and pretentious."
Zhou Biao blurted out:
"How do you know? Ni'er, did you tell your cousin?"
Ji Min rolled his eyes at Zhou Biao with dissatisfaction and said:
"How did I know this! I didn't say it!"
Ji Jun then said slowly and calmly:
"Chen Zhuoxin is a person who likes to be beautiful and pursues extreme sophistication in his clothes. It is best to use unique fabrics, and the patterns must be different! The embroiderer, embroiderer or tailor who makes clothes for him can only be one for him. Not even the person he loves most, or even his most beloved wife or concubine, or his favorite children.”
Zhou Huan nodded, his expression indifferent, but there was a light of surprise in his eyes:
"indeed so!"
Ji Jun nodded gently towards Zhou Huan to express his gratitude for his answer, and continued:
"He likes luxury and enjoyment, and he thinks he is noble. In his eyes, everyone in the world is vulgar and hateful."
Zhou Biao nodded repeatedly:
"You look like you saw him! That's right! His carriage must be decorated with gold, silver and jewelry. And, once, when you take a sip of tea, you need to change the cup! After washing your hands, you can't wipe them with a handkerchief. It takes a few The servants gave him a blowjob! Later, the Holy One couldn't stand it anymore and lectured him a few words before he restrained himself!"
Ji Jun was encouraged and continued:
"He has a kind of self-admiration and arrogance. He feels that those who are good-looking are not as talented as him, and those who are talented are not as high as him. Those with high status are not as suave as him. Those who are suave are not as transcendent as him. In short, in this world, there are only He is the most outstanding and the most qualified to stand out from the crowd."
Li Mi saw Ji Jun speak more and more fluently, his mood became calmer and more comfortable, and his secretly worried heart gradually let go.
Li Mi smiled and continued:
"You are right! Chen Guogong is just as you said. So what?"
Ji Jun spread his hands and looked resigned:
"Chen Guogong is jealous of you being like this, and you are the one who went to ask for a title for me. Naturally, I will be implicated too!"
Zhou Huan and Li Mi thought for a moment and suddenly understood.
Ji Min was still a little confused and asked:
"Jealous of cousin and the others?"
Li Mi thought about it and explained:
"Chen Guogong is a concubine. He was able to inherit the title because his brother died young. He always felt that outsiders laughed at him for inheriting the title because of his improper name and even his origins. Moreover, he had no military exploits and no achievements in the court. Since he took office in the Ministry of War, there have been repeated leaks of military information, and many ministers have impeached him for this, so he has always been in charge. Cousin, is this what you mean? "
Not to mention anything else, Zhou Huan has solved many major cases since he became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Zhou Biao is now a "fourth-grade imperial guard" and has done many things for the emperor overtly and covertly.
Although Li Mi did not lead the troops, he had been responsible for the logistics work of the Li family's army in the capital, and kept all the military supplies in order.
Ji Jun nodded at Li Mi, smiling like an old gentleman who was happy to improve his students!
I secretly admired it in my heart, well, he is a talent that can be created, he can get it done with just a few clicks!
Zhou Biao looked at the two of them, suddenly had a bad idea, and said with a smile:
"Hey, let me tell you, cousin, it's not like someone tipped you off, so you're pretending to be sophisticated here, right?"
Ji Jun made a "cut" sound and said disdainfully:
"As for that scumbag Chen Guogong, is it worth asking me to inquire about him? He has never eaten pork, and has never seen a pig running?"
Zhou Biao pouted:
"Speaking of Chen Guogong, why are you trying to pull a fat pig?"
"Cousin of the Crown Prince." Ji Min suppressed his laughter and reminded gently:
"My cousin means that I have met people like Chen Guogong before, so I know a little bit about him."
"That's right!" Ji Jun shook his head and sighed:
"How else can we say we are a family! Cousins and cousins, broken bones and connected tendons! You! You are far behind!"
Ji Jun secretly gave Ji Min a thumbs up again, this is Bingxue's cleverness!
I was just thinking of some disgusting leaders in my previous life, but I didn't expect that when I applied their character and behavior to Chen Zhuoxin, it actually fit him perfectly!
Huh? This seems to be "psychological profiling", right?
Zhou Biao was angry and unwilling:
"I thought you had something amazing to say, and I thought it could be related to your family's prosperity and wealth! That's it, it's boring!"
Ji Jun's mood gradually improved at this time.
Being carried away for a moment, he stepped forward and patted Zhou Biao on the shoulder, and said with the northeastern accent in the sketch:
"Oh my God! Brother, how do you know? It really has something to do with our family's wealth! Do you know anything? Chen Guogong's name is Chen Zhuoxin, and the man who cleans up the excrement of our family's wealth is called Chen Zhuo Urgent, maybe it’s a buddy, are you (saying) four (yes)?”
This time, Ji Jun deliberately used a lot of force, and Zhou Biao knew how to use martial arts, so of course he didn't think anything of it.
But with the bared teeth.
Ji Min smiled so hard that his eyebrows curled up for a moment.
However, Li Mi's face darkened at the side.
Zhou Biao was a little uninterested:
"Why is it called such a name!"
Ji Jun later pretended to casually learn about his previous life experiences from Shaoyao. I thought maybe he was called "Chen Zhuoji", but the locals had an accent, so they called him "Chen Zhuoji".
"Are you talking about Uncle Chen?" Shaoyao came in with fruits. When he heard this, he continued:
"Because Uncle Chen turns out to be a chicken catcher! He spends all day catching pheasants in the mountains! Let's call him Chen to catch chickens!"
Zhou Biao became interested:
"You caught pheasants well, why did you go to sweep up Wangcai's manure?"
Shaoyao said matter-of-factly:
"Wangcai has caught all the pheasants, but Uncle Chen can't catch them anymore. He has no food to eat, so he went to help Wangcai clean up the manure. There is food and chickens, so there is no need to work hard!"
"Oh! That's right" Zhou Biao suddenly realized:
"Wangcai can learn martial arts faster than your young lady, so of course she can catch pheasants!"
Ji Jun, "..."
Is this what shooting oneself in the foot is like?
Seeing that Ji Jun couldn't stand down, Li Mi picked up an apple and hit Zhou Biao on the head:
"Is there such a metaphor?"
Zhou Biao covered his head and said aggrievedly:
"You hit me too! You all bullied me!"
Shaoyao's eyes shine:
"Young Master, you are becoming more and more like Wangcai! Whoever bullies my young lady, Wangcai will slap his head with his paw! Next time, remember to keep the apple away! Just use that hand!"
