Ji Rong clenched his fists and looked livid.
Ji Shu rarely saw her father looking deflated and found it funny. She watched Qi Ye secretly curl his lips and wink at him suggestively.
Qi Ye couldn't laugh. He rubbed the side of the teacup with his fingertips, feeling depressed.
His age has actually been living under this kind of pressure for fifteen years...
Father Ji: "The Champion is young, but he knows how to meddle in other people's business!"
Ji Rong felt extremely aggrieved. If Qi Ye were of the same generation as him, he would definitely have a few quarrels. Unfortunately, Qi Ye was his junior. Ji Rong always felt that it would be a loss of prestige to argue with a junior, not to mention that this junior still had a bright future. The general.
So after thinking for a long time, he still just said something weird.
Qi Ye said coldly: "I just like to help you when there is injustice, not to mention Ji Shu is my benefactor. Even if you bully her, I will not allow it."
Ji Rong's face was blue and white, he was angry and funny.
There were three people in this room, why did he feel like he was the redundant one? !
Ji Shu is his biological daughter! Can he bully her? ?
If it weren't for his literary demeanor, Ji Rong would have wanted to point his finger at Qi Ye's nose and scold him for meddling in other people's business!
Ji Rong was so angry that he gasped for breath. Ji Shu smiled and walked up to him and handed him a cup of tea, patting him on the back to calm him down.
"Dad, please say a few words. The Marquis is a guest and should be treated with respect."
Ji Shu avoided the previous topic and gave his father face. Then he smiled at Qi Ye and said, "Master Hou speaks for me and gives me things. How can I bear it?"
"I said if you can bear it, you can." Qi Ye said smoothly: "The things have been delivered, there is no reason to take them back. It's the first time I came to the door today. I didn't ask you what you like. Maybe the gift was not what you wanted. What did you say you like? , I’ll bring it to you next time.”
Qi Ye paused and covered up a layer: "There are many people in our army who want to send you gifts of thanks, but they can't make it today. I will bring them to you next time."
"It's just a thank-you gift. If the soldiers are interested, why not give me a handful of rice."
Ji Shu raised his palm and said with a smile: "Just a handful is enough. I will donate these rice to other granaries in Daqin Mansion on your behalf. This is also the kindness of the soldiers to the people all over the world. How about it?"
Qi Ye's eyes gradually softened, and he looked at her and nodded slowly, "I will listen to you."
Ji Rong took two sips of tea and finally calmed down. The two of them even discussed what to give next time in a few words. Ji Rong had no chance to interrupt and was so dizzy.
"Master Marquis's things have been delivered and we have accepted them. Then Master Marquis, please go back."
Ji Rong said forcefully, and Ji Shu said, "Dad, it's noon, it's time to leave the Marquis to finish his meal before leaving."
Logically speaking, this was indeed the case, but Ji Rong was furious now, and just when he was about to refuse, Ji Laosi ran into the front hall, his fat body bowing repeatedly to Qi Ye.
"Champion Marquis! It's a long way to welcome you! Cao Min is the fourth master of the Ji family, and my son is the governor of the Dudu Mansion. His name is Ji Baoxiong. I heard that the marquis is about to take office as the governor, and the Cao Min has long wanted to meet the marquis. , It’s a pity that there is no chance! Unexpectedly, when the Marquis comes today, the common people have ordered people to hold a banquet at the house, asking the Marquis to show his favor! "
Ji Rong looked down on Ji Laosi's flattery and was about to get angry when the rich man came in.
When he saw Ji Shu, his face darkened, but he didn't have an attack. He stepped forward to greet Qi Ye.
Qi Ye recognized these two people, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were as gloomy as black clouds. He leaned on the back of his chair, touched the jade plaque tied on his wrist and rubbed it with habit, and said lightly:
"Ji Baoxiong is your son...but the one with mung bean eyes, short and fat like a turtle?"
After his employment documents were delivered to his house a few days ago, one of the people who secretly came to give gifts was this one, because he was more impressed by his last name.
"..."
Ji Laosi smiled reluctantly, "My son should be stronger! It will make the Marquis laugh."
"You and your son are very similar, I will remember that."
Ji Rong's face turned red. He really couldn't listen to this. It was fine in private, but it was a provocation to his literary character on the stage.
"If there is a banquet, just go to the banquet and say it!"
They left together. There were no women at the table. Ji Shu did not follow him, but asked someone to take the things Qi Ye sent to her yard.
From that day on, Qi Ye often came to visit, and every time he came he was always empty-handed. Ji Shu's Luming Pavilion was filled with treasures.
Many people in the Ji family are drooling with envy, especially the fourth one, Ji Laosi!
On this day, he bumped into Qi Ye coming to his door again. He was about to talk to him about Ji Baoxiong, but he left after delivering his things.
Ji Laosi ordered someone to take a peek at what he had given, and soon the servants came to his courtyard.
"Master, the coral bonsai I sent you this time is so tall! It's so beautiful!"
"This Ji Shu! What kind of shitty luck did you have!"
Ji Laosi sighed bitterly and walked around in circles in the house. At this time, a girl ran into his yard crying.
"Dad! You have to make the decision for me! That bitch Xiao Chan wants to break off our engagement with me!"
The visitor was none other than Ji Laosi's daughter, Ji Ying, the sixth daughter of the family, and Xiao Chan was her fiancé.
Ji Ying hugged Ji Laosi's arm and kept crying, "That bastard still doesn't give up! He still misses the eldest sister! Why did Ji Shu want to reconcile! She deliberately ruined my marriage! I can't spare her!"
Ji Laosi has two heads and two heads. Ji Ying’s resentment towards Ji Shu stems from this Xiao Chan. Xiao Chan used to be one of Ji Rong’s disciples, and later he was admitted to the Juren Examination. Shu, but unfortunately Ji Rong did not agree because of his low background.
Ji Laosi felt that Xiao Chan had a bright future, so he let Ji Ying fall through the cracks. He didn't get married that year because Ji Ying was too young, and later because Xiao Chan declined the marriage year after year on the pretext of preparing for the national examination. Ji Laosi must have He even wanted Xiao Chan to pass the Jinshi exam, so he just let it go. Who knew it would cause problems?
Ji Ying was petty and resented that her husband wanted to marry her sister before, so she disliked Ji Shu. In the past, she was just married. When she heard that Ji Shu was getting divorced a few days ago, Ji Ying was afraid of Xiao Xiao. Toad's place reappeared, so Ji Laosi was asked to find the clan leader to stop it.
"Dad, Ji Shu has become an abandoned wife that no one wants. If Xiao Chan asks for marriage, my uncle will definitely agree. What should I do? You have to think of a way for me!"
Ji Laosi looked at his daughter. She was a pretty girl with pear blossoms and raindrops, and his thoughts suddenly moved.
"Good girl! Why are you always staring at that Xiao Chan! If he wants to break off the engagement, just let him break off! Dad will find you a better husband!"
