Chapter 169 The Male Protagonist’s Best Mother (Fifty Six)
Hiss~~
Taking a deep breath of cold air, Ji Keji's brain was knocked awake by the words "Huo Yun, King of Anxi".
This great general is definitely one of the "great heroes" of this dynasty.
His status is valuable and his family is loyal.
In the battle in the northwest, he paid the tragic death of his entire family and severely wounded the invading Hulu Khan.
The opponent was so frightened that he did not dare to send troops for thirty years.
Therefore, the Huo family is not only loyal and loyal, but also has great contributions to the country.
The remaining blood of the Huo family is sometimes more noble than the royal blood.
A saint cannot bear the reputation of "treating heroes lightly and treating orphans harshly".
Not to mention that the history pen is as sharp as a sword, even the veterans in the army and the scholars in Beijing would not agree.
Especially the case of Princess Yongjia, who died young at an early age.
Although he died of illness, the royal family also has certain responsibilities.
Queen Mother Han: ...It’s really unfair.
It was indeed a little selfish for her to marry her adopted daughter back to her parents' family, but it was also really for the good of her adopted daughter.
She always thought that it was the Han family, and the entire family's wealth depended on her.
Regardless of blood relationship, just looking at her as the Queen Mother, she will also treat Princess Yongjia who she raised well.
However, Queen Mother Han forgot that the Han family was indeed her natal family, but she was not the head of it.
Her younger siblings, the concubines of the Han family, also had their own considerations - they wanted to get closer and make their niece their daughter-in-law.
The Duke's wife also disliked Princess Yongjia very much.
First, she is just a fake princess, not of royal blood;
Secondly, Liu Qin's death is obviously a tough one.
Han Chong was her most beloved and promising son, but she had no control over his marriage.
The Queen Mother granted the marriage, but the Duke's wife did not dare to express her dissatisfaction, and she accepted the marriage "happily".
Han Chong is indeed the best and most capable child of the Han family.
But he is also proud.
He may not dislike Princess Yongjia like his own mother, but he also won't please her like a normal consort.
Princess Yongjia herself is also a proud person.
When two people with strong temperaments come together, conflicts can easily arise.
When there are conflicts, neither one is willing to give in. If they happen too often, they will become a grudge.
After all, Princess Yongjia was a woman, an orphan who had lost all her relatives. She happened to have another child. Several reasons combined made her depressed, and she eventually died of depression.
If Princess Yongjia is a real princess, if she marries someone other than the nephew whom the Queen Mother values most, even if she dies of illness, the consort will still be held accountable.
If one person doesn't do it right, the whole family will be deprived of life.
Unfortunately, Princess Yongjia is an adopted daughter, and her husband's family is the Queen Mother's natal family. The Queen Mother is caught in a dilemma.
In the end, the death of Princess Yongjia was reduced to a major matter and a trivial matter.
As for Han Chong, he was only symbolically "exiled" by the Queen Mother, and he was not allowed to be promoted back to Beijing for several years.
The Queen Mother felt that she had made the decision for her adopted daughter.
But everyone in the world knew that she still favored her mother's family.
Princess Yongjia is no ordinary adopted daughter, she is a loyal queen.
Her death has already earned the reputation of the royal family as a hero.
Therefore, when they arrived at Princess Nanping, the Queen Mother probably felt guilty and distressed, and the Emperor probably wanted to quell some rumors. The supreme mother and son were almost doting on Princess Nanping.
Her status, both in the capital and in the palace, was very transcendent.
To put it bluntly, even if Ji Xiaodi bumped into a real princess, it wouldn't be so serious.
Ji Keji is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.
It's just that he's been living too smoothly in the past few years, he's been praised too highly, and his heart is a little wandering.
Moreover, he has little knowledge and lacks certain political literacy.
Zheng Dalang made some suggestions, and Ji Keji understood instantly.
Whoosh!
A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Brother, what should I do?"
"Should I go to the Han family in person to apologize?"
Ji Keji was panicking. He had realized that if this matter was not handled well, it might even affect him!
The same goes for Koichiro. He doesn't know anything and yet he dares to run rampant in the capital.
Do you really think that my eldest brother is some kind of big shot?
I'm just a lifter!
Even if I get Jinshi and get an official position, I still have to start from the sixth or seventh grade.
And the most indispensable thing in the capital is officials!
"No! Aweng will go over to apologize."
When Zheng Dalang saw that Ji Keji was still afraid, he knew that this man could still be saved.
He said calmly, "Moreover, the noble guard punished Xiao Qilang on the spot, which shows that the matter has been settled."
This would only be troublesome if the guards didn't take action.
Ji Keji's face was full of shame, and he raised his hands and said to Zheng Dalang, "It's all my fault that I didn't discipline my family well, which caused trouble and caused my grandfather to suffer!"
Ji Keji understood the meaning of Zheng Dalang's words——
Although the matter was settled, Xiao Qilang shouted out the name "Mr. Zheng Ge" in the street, so Zheng Qi, the person involved, could not pretend to be dead.
He must send someone, or even go to the Han family in person to apologize.
If the Han family doesn't care about it at this time, the matter will be completely over.
Seeing Ji Keji bowing to him and no longer showing ignorance and arrogance, Zheng Dalang's eyes became somewhat warmer.
However, Ji Xiaosi still needs to investigate this time, and he also needs to listen to his sister's opinions.
…
"I?"
Zheng Wanjun was a little strange and didn't quite understand what his brother meant.
"Jun'er, you have been wise since you were a child and have a delicate heart with seven orifices."
Zheng Dalang didn't make his words too clear.
He looked at his sister meaningfully.
Zheng Dalang is not a sister-controller. Strictly speaking, he does not have much affection for his only sister, Zheng Wanjun.
However, he was raised by his grandfather and uncle, a perfect eldest son of a family.
He has feelings for his parents, younger brothers and sisters, etc., but it is more of a responsibility.
He "has the habit" of taking these relatives under his wing.
Therefore, when he discovers his sister-in-law's shortcomings, his first reaction is whether he can save him or not, and whether his sister is willing to save him.
My sister wants to continue living with her brother-in-law, and Zheng Dalang is a way to deal with it.
If his sister is tired of this white-eyed wolf and wants to make peace with her, Zheng Dalang will take another approach.
In Zheng Dalang's view, the marriage between Zheng Wanjun and Ji Keji was extremely inappropriate.
It was his father who was unreliable and harmed his sister all his life.
As the eldest son of the fourth family of the Zheng family, he has the responsibility and obligation to help his sister make the decision!
Zheng Dalang believed that with his sister's intelligence, she should be able to detect Ji Keji's problem.
And that cousin, who is such a big living person, my sister should be able to see it.
Zheng Wanjun felt like he had nowhere to hide under his eldest brother's sharp gaze.
She simply couldn't say anything to deceive herself or others.
She was at Ji's house, although she kept her promise, but she was very tired.
Confusing parents-in-law, the best brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and a cousin Feng with ulterior motives.
And Ji Keji no longer looks like the Ji Xiaosi he used to be.
He is just a phoenix man. In the future, he may be ungrateful and want to be forced to eat soft food.
In ancient times, mistressing was legal.
But Zheng Wanjun could not tolerate a third person in his marriage.
She married at a low age, and it would be too cheap if she still had to compromise.
Peace and separation?
Oh, all the crows in the world are as black as black.
There is no Ji Xiaosi, but Wang Xiaosi and Liu Xiaosi.
And she and Ji Xiaosi still have the relationship of childhood sweethearts, the kindness of rescue and support, and the child!
Zheng Wanjun subconsciously held up his belly, which bulged slightly.
The baby will be born in two to three months.
I also have a son who is over one year old!
She, could she really make peace with Ji Xiaosi neatly?
Zheng Wanjun, a time-traveling girl who had always been cheerful, began to feel confused in her eyes at this moment.
Zheng Dalang saw Zheng Wanjun's eyes and movements. He sighed slightly in his heart: Well, for the sake of his sister, let's try again.
…
As soon as the Ji family entered the city, they were frightened to the point of being scolded by a stick.
Ji Xiaodi is in bed recovering from his injuries, and Ji Xiaomei is also very calm.
Ji Keji went to visit Mr. Zheng Ge and Uncle Zheng.
I originally thought that this grandfather would blame him, but Ji Keji still saw a warm and loving elder with a smile as bright as the spring equinox.
However, Ji Keji did not relax at all.
Mr. Zheng Ge and Uncle Zheng took the exam one after another. When he left, his whole back was wet.
Only then did he deeply realize that the Zheng family, which was "just like this", was actually unfathomable.
Mr. Zheng Ge and Uncle Zheng are a pair of old foxes.
That kind of city, that kind of sharpness in his bones, is completely different from Mr. Zheng.
Ji Keji stood outside the small courtyard arranged for him by the Zheng family. When the autumn wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver.
Afterwards, Zheng Dalang began to take Ji Keji to visit friends and participate in some young people's poetry gatherings and gatherings.
In his spare time, Zheng Dalang would also share with Ji Keji some of the case files that his uncle saw in the Ministry of Punishment.
"Don't be obsessed with studying, you still need to know some things about people and the world."
"There is also the "Dazhou Law", which must be memorized."
Zheng Dalang specially gave Ji Keji a copy of the laws of this dynasty.
Ji Keji was already numb.
Less than a month after arriving in the capital, his heart was hit several times.
At a certain party, Ji Keji originally looked down upon a junior official who had been working in the Hanlin Academy for being so attentive.
After careful questioning, I found out that this seemingly humble official was actually the second-highest-ranking official with a criminal record.
Second place on the list, second place in the first class!
But he didn't reach the sky in one step.
It has been six years, and he is still just a low-ranking official of the sixth rank.
In order to find a job, he does not hesitate to bend his knees to please the powerful!
There are also talented people who deliberately talk loudly to attract attention, and there are also scholars who stop nobles' carriages and horses in the street to hand over papers...
Compared with those people, Ji Keji's so-called "talent" is really not worth mentioning.
And they are still at the bottom, depressed and frustrated!
Ji Kengji was first amazed at all the "strange news" in Beijing, then felt flustered, and then pondered silently.
He no longer had the intention to talk to his cousin Feng about what was on his mind, but stayed with Zheng Wanjun whenever he had time.
Zheng Wanjun looked at Ji Keji's familiar yet unfamiliar face, and slowly, she made up her mind...
PS: The story of Ji Xiaosi and the original heroine has come to an end. Ahem, they will not become villains, but just a control group.
