From the beginning, all Li Ran wanted was peace.
Escape from Luoyi and do the same thing. Escape from Qufu and do the same thing.
Living is a mission for him. Only by living can he further realize his ambition.
But to this day, it is still difficult for him to determine what he wants to do. Just like wandering in the vast and empty grassland, with the blue sky, white clouds and green grass, the mountains in the distance and the sheep nearby, everything looks quite good.
It's beautiful, but he just doesn't care about it.
It's not that he didn't go to the right place, but that as of this moment, he still couldn't understand the meaning of his standing in this world.
Of course, in the materialistic era he lived in before, he knew what he wanted. But in the current era, he has become confused. He always feels that he is being pushed forward by the wind and waves again and again.
This time I was shaken by the clouds and rain.
He should do something.
Therefore, he clearly understood the meaning of Ji Xian's words, and he knew very well what Ji Xian wanted to achieve.
"Well, from today onwards, you are the one who sacrifices my family. I have ordered people to hand over all the property that I took back from Shu Niu temporarily. All the account books and detailed slips will be sent to you.
When you go to the courtyard, you must handle it properly and don't let those who are running errands below get into trouble."
"In addition..."
At this point, Ji Xian suddenly stopped.
Li Ran raised his head and looked at him and said:
"My father-in-law wants to go to the doctor's office to deliver the baby. Do I still need my son-in-law to go there?"
Ji Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said:
"Well, since Shu Niu was not severely punished this time, Doctor Zichan must also have some complaints against me. I didn't see him staying for a long time at the banquet today. If I go, I'm afraid Doctor Zichan will think that I only know how to nepotize others and not know anything about it.
Understand the righteousness deeply."
"After much thought, it is most appropriate for you to go."
You must know that what Shu Niu did this time almost caused a conflict between Zheng and Qi and Wei. However, the Ji clan's internal treatment of Shu Niu seemed to be very lenient, and it was just a point.
All this was seen by Zichan, and it was natural that he was dissatisfied. After all, Shuniu was the son of Jishi and a subject of Zheng. Zichan did not intervene in this matter because of Jixian's face.
He has no definite opinion on this matter.
Ji first asked Li Ran to go. To put it bluntly, he wanted Li Ran to explain to Zi Chan on Ji's behalf why Ji Xian did this. Of course, he also wanted to win Zi Chan's forgiveness and forgiveness.
Li Ran knew that it was because Ji Xian trusted him that he allowed him to go, so he immediately bowed and said:
"Here."
……
The next day, Ji Le woke up from his sleep and opened his sleepy eyes, but Li Ran was nowhere to be seen.
"Husband? Li Ran?"
Looking around, but there was no trace. Just as he was confused, Li Ran walked in from the door. Seeing Ji Le still looking sleepy, he immediately felt distressed and said:
"Le'er, why don't you sleep a little longer? I have nothing to do today, so I can stay with you at home for a while."
Today was supposed to be the day when Li Ran went to inspect and accept the details of a business name in response to the sacrifice. But unexpectedly, when Shu Niu learned that his property was distributed to Li Ran by the sacrifice, he couldn't help but became furious. When he got up this morning, he was even more angry.
There was a big fuss in Ji Xian's office, which almost caused Ji Xian to resort to family violence.
According to what Owl Wing learned from the servants in the other courtyard, Shu Niu and Ji Xian had a fierce quarrel. In the end, Shu Niu threw a cup and his face was full of anger. It looked like he was on fire.
And Ji Xian was even more furious. It was said that he had been in the study for half an hour and no one was allowed to see him.
Naturally, it was not appropriate for Li Ran to take over the family property at this time. He planned to wait until the festival started, and then kowtow to the elders in the family to thank him, and comfort him together.
Unexpectedly, when Ji Le heard about this, he smiled and said as if nothing had happened:
"Hey, it's okay. My dad has this temper. If he doesn't calm down for an hour or two after getting angry, no one can get close to him."
"If my husband has anything else to do, just go and get busy. I'll go and give dad some advice."
Ji Le didn't want Li Ran to suffer Ji Xian's wrath for no reason, and she always came up with endless ways to deal with her father, so there was no need for Li Ran to accompany her.
Li Ran was startled when he heard the sound and said in surprise:
"Oh? Seriously?"
"Huh! Husband, could it be that you underestimated Le'er? I can tell you secretly that every time my father loses his temper, he has to stay in the study for an hour. It is called introspection, but in fact he is forcing himself to write calmly and pretending.
One after another, not to mention too serious. But as soon as I came in and told him two jokes, his anger immediately disappeared."
Ji Le said, with his hands on his waist, his neck slightly raised, facing the roof, with a full posture.
Seeing this, Li Ran immediately gave her a thumbs up, but he said in his heart: This is really a considerate little cotton-padded jacket. I hope to give birth to a son for me in the future. If I give birth to such a daughter, where will I cry?
But seeing how confident Ji Le was, he didn't want to say anything more. He immediately told her not to make Mr. Ji angry and hurried to Guoshi's mansion. (Zichan: Guoshi, named Qiao, courtesy name Zichan
)
The one who went with him was naturally Sun Wu.
Arriving at Zichan's home, Zichan had just returned from the court meeting. When he heard that Li Ran had arrived, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Hey? Isn't this Ji's good son-in-law? What's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be dealing with the people from the upper and lower clans at Ji's house today? Why do you have time to hang around here?"
According to the customs of the Zheng Kingdom, after the uncle enters the house, he will need to visit his relatives after a while. Since Li Ran is the son-in-law who comes to the house, it is natural that he will go to meet the clan leaders and the elders and children of the whole clan again the next day. This is also
Out of respect for the entire family members.
Zichan originally thought that Li Ran was going to "kill everyone" within today's Ji clan and show off his literate style of Luoyi's keeper of the treasure room, but who knew that he would actually come to his place.
"Haha, the doctor is laughing. There was a slight change in the family today. Besides, Ran is not from Zheng. This set of etiquette and customs is really not suitable for Ran."
"I came here to visit today because of the matter of Brother Meng in the clan."
Li Ran didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.
Zichan's face changed slightly when he heard this, he waved his hand for Li Ran to sit down, and then said:
"I understand the meaning of Lao Ji, but Zi Ming, Shu Niu almost caused a catastrophe this time. Fortunately, you dealt with it wisely, otherwise I'm afraid the consequences would have been unimaginable. Besides, the Ji clan's internal treatment of Shu Niu is...
All the ministers and officials have seen it, and it is really wrong."
"But the matter has come to this. If I deal with it forcefully, I'm afraid I will leave the old man at a loss as to what to do... Anyway, let's leave it at that."
In fact, Zichan also knew the meaning of Li Ran's words, so he immediately complied with Ji Xian's wishes and stopped pursuing the matter.
"In this case, Li Ran will sacrifice the clan. Thank you so much, Dr. Zichan."
Li Ran couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the sound, and hurriedly stood up to thank him.
But before he could raise his hands to bow, a servant from Zichan's house hurriedly ran in from the outside, and then knelt down in front of Zichan, breathing heavily. He looked very panicked.<
/p>
"Why are you so panicked?"
Zichan frowned and asked.
"Sir, it is said that there is an outbreak of malaria in the west of the city. In just one morning... nearly ten people have died mysteriously! There are even more than a hundred people infected!"
After the servant finished speaking, both Li Ran and Zichan changed their expressions.
