Miss Ji Qi was holding Ruyi tea, feeling uneasy and not knowing what to do.
"Drink, this is rare and good tea."
Meng Jia casually grabbed two red plums from the fruit plate and handed them to Ji Xiaolang, saying gently, "Stop crying, I won't do anything to your sister."
Ji Xiaolang sobbed and secretly glanced at Miss Ji Qi, but did not dare to answer.
Miss Ji Qi winked, and Ji Xiaolang took the red plum, stopped crying, and whispered, "Your Majesty, we are not bad people."
Meng Jia was amused by the boy's innocence. He smiled and rubbed Ji Xiaolang's head and said, "You know, are you hungry? Whatever you want to eat, let someone cook it for you."
Ji Xiaolang never thought that he would be treated with such tenderness. He immediately blushed and stammered, "I'm not hungry, kid."
Meng Jia didn't listen to him. He only smiled and whispered a few instructions to the attendants, then turned around and ordered Miss Ji Qi to "write a message as soon as you have a good cup of tea."
Only then did Miss Ji Qi feel frightened and said seriously, "Your Majesty, writing an essay is not a trivial matter. It must be carefully considered. Common people cannot write it, and they can't write it." First published 33
Meng Jia smiled and said, "Forget it, let's eat first."
The servants brought food, but it was just four dishes, one soup and one snack, three meat and three vegetarian dishes.
"Everyone sit down and eat with me." Meng Jia asked Zhou Yifu and Miss Ji Qi to sit down and took the lead in raising chopsticks. "Try these crystal shrimps. It is the specialty of the palace chef."
Zhou Yifu was fine, but Miss Ji Qi and her brother were very restrained.
Meng Jia didn't have any rules about not speaking when eating or sleeping, and asked slowly, "You are a famous lady in the city, why are you like this?"
Miss Ji Qi looked slightly gloomy, "It's my fault."
After years of war, Jiangxia was far away from the imperial court, and bandits were rampant. Women and children suffered the most, especially young girls, whose lives could be ruined if they were not careful.
I don't know since when, the habit of raising daughters as sons has arisen in Jiangxia City.
The girls wear men's clothes, learn to ride horses and donkeys, and walk as fast as flying. Even if they encounter disaster, they can still struggle and will not be captured without help.
The Ji family is one of the largest families in Jiangxia City. Mr. Ji is highly respected and responsive to every call, but he has an old-fashioned temperament.
The female members of his family are always raised in a deep boudoir and never leave the house. Miss Ji Qi is definitely an anomaly.
And there is a reason why Miss Ji Qi developed this appearance.
Her biological mother, Mrs. Ji San, was from Xinzhou. When she took her child back to visit relatives, she was caught in a war, suffered humiliation, and died tragically at the hands of bandits.
Before she died, Mrs. Ji San held her family's hands and warned her not to raise a girl according to Mr. Ji's method, but to raise her daughter to be a versatile person in both civil and military affairs.
Her parents felt sorry for her tragic death and her wish was bound to come true, so they raised Miss Ji Qi as a tomboy.
Then Mengjia occupied Jiangxia, and Jiangxia and Xinzhou were completely divided into two sides. The fastest update on the computer:
A few years later, when Mr. Ji San opened his joints and went to pick someone up, he found that his daughter had grown like this.
Mr. Ji San was not a rigid person. He was heartbroken and guilty about his wife's misfortune. He thought that what his wife said made sense, so he continued to implement it.
After a big quarrel at home, father and son fell out of harmony. Fastest update on mobile phone htts:33
Mr. Ji made harsh words and said that he would no longer care about the affairs of the third room. The people of the third room would become dragons and snakes in heaven and have nothing to do with the Ji family.
It is said that although the commotion was serious, as long as Mr. Ji San was responsible as a director, the life of the third room would not be any worse. It was only because Mr. Ji San was an alcoholic.
When you don't drink, everything is fine. Once you drink alcohol, you will be completely drunk and ignore everything.
Miss Ji Qi lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "My father is a great person. He allowed me to study in school and always protected me at home.
My grandfather is also very good. Although he doesn't agree with my actions, he never talks about me outside.
So Weasel and the others don't know that I am a woman, they only think that I am Qilang. It's because I'm not good and can't hold my temper, and I always cause trouble for the family."
Meng Jia nodded slightly, "You ask your grandfather not to care about the affairs of your third wife, but he will punish your siblings?"
After all, she is an outsider and a strange young man. When it comes to being punished, Miss Ji Qi is inevitably embarrassed, "It doesn't matter whether it is small things, such as going to school outside, eating, wearing, or using anything. Once I break the rules, I will still be punished."
"
"For example, what happened today, the weasel mother and her son came to complain and were punished by the king to sweep the streets. This is a big thing that brings shame to the family. We, the two brothers, will definitely be severely punished. Grandpa never shows mercy when he beats people."
Ji Xiaolang couldn't help but shudder, even the food was no longer sweet, "We didn't get home on time today, and dad didn't send anyone to look for us, so we must have been drunk again."
Meng Jia smiled and changed the topic, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
The two siblings talked beautifully, and it seemed that they didn't have much discord with their family and grandfather, and all they had were common principles and rules.
However, he also comes from a big family, so he knows it's not that simple.
Apart from other things, this girl Ji Qi has not yet been engaged and married even though she is old. She still looks like a tomboy. She even wants to find a job as a clerk in the palace, which shows that her life is really difficult. Anyone who does not fit in will be rejected and suppressed.
.
Ji Xiaolang didn't expect that the aloof King Chu could be so amiable. He couldn't help but wanted to tell him his grievances, but was stopped by Miss Ji Qi. "Eat quickly, it's getting late, we should go back."
Ji Xiaolang obeyed and closed his mouth tightly, but he couldn't eat.
Meng Jia was a martial artist and he ate very quickly. When he put down his chopsticks, Miss Ji Qi put down her chopsticks with a look, pulled her brother to stand up and bowed to say goodbye.
"Thank you for not caring about the rudeness of the common people. It is getting late and the common people will go back soon. If you disturb me, my father will come to the door to thank you someday."
Meng Jia did not leave anyone behind, and ordered Zhou Yifu, "If you send them back, tell them that the two young men of the Ji family are outstandingly intelligent, kind-hearted and polite, and the Ji family has taught them well."
With these words, tonight's disaster can be avoided.
Miss Ji Qi's eyes were slightly red, and she saluted Meng Jia sincerely, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will keep your kindness in mind. In the future, if you have orders, I will do anything to you."
Meng Jia waved his hand slightly, indicating for them to leave on their own.
The door of Ji's Mansion had been closed tightly for a long time. Miss Ji Qi kept banging on the door for about a while before someone lazily opened the door.
Seeing her and Ji Xiaolang, he made a fuss, "Hey, the two young men are finally back. Where have you been? If you don't come home so late, the house will be in chaos! The old man has been looking for you several times, and he feels so anxious that he doesn't feel well all over!"
Miss Ji Qi lowered her eyebrows and said, "Yes, Uncle Sub, it's my fault that I have caused trouble for the family."
"Hurry up and go in! That's right, what have you done? The Huang family is here to complain, and they won't let you go."
Subo was slightly impatient, turned around and saw Zhou Yifu following behind, and was even more surprised, "Who is this?"
