Chapter four hundred and eighty eighth Baolong family
Since the palace turmoil, Ji Yun has been living and dining in the Hanlin Academy to avoid trouble. Yesterday he felt really smelly, so he secretly ran back to his house, freshened up, and slept in a familiar bed until dawn.
The previous owner of the house was Yue Zhongqi, a powerful official of the Yongzheng Dynasty and the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. Five years ago, Qianlong specially gave it to Ji Yun to facilitate his entry and exit from the imperial city and save him from running back and forth from the outer city.
While I was sleeping soundly, someone in the yard shouted: "Master, the city gate is open, the city gate is open!"
Immediately afterwards, a girl of twelve or thirteen years old opened the door of the master's room. The little girl looked very cute, but she was not dressed in children's clothes at such a young age. Instead, she was wearing a married woman's hairstyle. At this time, if there was When outsiders look at it, they will inevitably feel a little surprised.
The girl is Shen Minggan, the concubine Ji Yun took half a year ago.
She was originally the daughter of a poor family in Hejian Prefecture. She was the second eldest child. She was smart, smart, delicate and dignified. She often said to her sister: "I can't be a peasant wife, but a wealthy family will not marry me as their wife, so I am willing to do so." Be a concubine for the masters."
After her sister told her mother this, the money-hungry mother immediately made a calculation and thought that since her second daughter was so good-looking and smart, she should not be married to an ordinary woman.
With her family's conditions, how could she marry into a good family as a concubine?
Coincidentally, the academician from the same hometown sent his housekeeper back to his hometown in Xian County, Hejian, to look for a virgin for him, because the older the academician got, the better he would look for younger girls.
As a result, Shen's mother, who "recommended herself", successfully sold her second daughter, who was only thirteen years old, to the Ji family, and the Ji family paid her a "financial gift" of thirty taels.
In terms of age, Shen's mother is twenty years younger than her "son-in-law", Bachelor Ji, and her daughter is thirty-eight years younger than her "husband".
But everyone was happy with this transaction, including Shen Minggan, who was only thirteen years old.
Soon, Minggan was brought to the capital by Lao Qi, the housekeeper of Jifu. The first time he saw the girl's film, the bachelor's eyes showed ecstasy. Regardless of the fact that the child was bumpy and tired along the way, he carried her into the house and picked her. .
After that, the bachelor asked the girl whether she was old and strong?
Because Shen Minggan was extremely intelligent and good at dealing with people, everyone in the Ji family liked her, especially Mrs. Ma, who liked the little girl and treated her as her own granddaughter.
However, Mrs. Ma and Bachelor Ji's other concubines did not live in the house in Mancheng, but in the courtyard purchased by the bachelor two years ago in the Old Summer Palace.
In addition to the bachelor and Shen Minggan, this house in Mancheng has only one butler, Lao Qi, and three servants.
The house is not small, it is a quadrangle with two entrances. The wisterias in the front yard and the crabapples in the back yard are all planted by the bachelor himself. However, it is the twelfth lunar month and winter, and there are no flowers in the yard.
During the palace turmoil, this house was not affected because it was located in the red flag area of the Han army.
"The city gate is open?"
When Academician Ji was woken up by his concubine in his sleep, he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he dragged Minggan to the bed and took off Minggan's pants. He was very anxious.
Yesterday, the bachelor was too tired when he came back. After washing himself, he fell into a deep sleep and did not care about being in love with Minggan.
"Master, no, ah..."
Minggan blushed with embarrassment and tried her best to please the bachelor who was several years older than her grandfather. She was only thirteen years old and her body was not even tall. She could only bear it with her frown and clenched teeth.
"Minggan, I'm not here these days. How are you good? Do you miss me?"
Ji Yun has a long beard, old eyes and narrow eyes, showing no pity for the beauty.
Use half a stick of incense before and after use.
After taking a long breath, Ji Yun had a saintly look on his face, and looked at Minggan with a smile on his face as he walked barefoot to the door with his clothes on and called for some hot water.
After the hot water was delivered, Minggan took a towel, soaked it, and took care of it for the master.
After that, I put a few taels of shredded tobacco into the master's favorite dry tobacco bag, lit it and handed it to the master on the bed respectfully.
"Master, smoke."
He was buried in the quilt and nestled in the master's arms like a kitten.
After a few puffs of "baba", the room was suddenly filled with the smell of smoke, and the bachelor's expression became more joyful, truly feeling refreshed.
A cigarette afterward is really better than a living god.
When it comes to smoking, Bachelor Ji is really the number one person in the Qing Dynasty. He is really addicted to smoking.
Every time he filled a pot of tobacco, he had to start with three or four taels. From home to the Hanlin Academy, the pot of tobacco was not enough to smoke, so his colleagues jokingly called him Ji Da's tobacco bag.
"master,"
The housekeeper Lao Qi asked the bachelor through the door outside the house if the city gate was open and he wanted to go to the outer city to buy some meat.
Scholar Ji took a puff of cigarette and asked casually: "Is there no meat at home?"
Lao Qi said: "Master, there is, but there is not much left. It is only enough for Master to eat two meals."
When he heard that the meat at home was only enough for himself for two meals, Bachelor Ji suddenly became unhappy: "Why don't you hurry up and buy it!"
"Why!"
Lao Qi agreed and hurriedly went to get the money and leave the city.
This old man is very good at eating meat. He can eat ten kilograms in one meal, but he can't eat a single grain of rice.
I don't know what happened to the imperial court. First, the banner men started fighting among themselves, and then the nine gates were closed for several days. As a result, the family was in need of this and that.
If we continue to be locked up, how will the hundreds of thousands of people in this city survive?
"Sir, how come you managed to close the city gate so well a few days ago?"
The lovable Minggan hugged her master in bed. She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the Ji family and make her master love her, she had to change her ways to please him.
"You don't understand anything about the imperial court."
Scholar Ji touched Minggan's forehead and warned, "Don't go anywhere these days, just stay at home."
Minggan said "Oh": "Then will the master return to the courtyard?"
The bachelor didn't answer because he didn't know whether to stay at home or go to work.
Will the Emperor's trip to Tailing really be able to clarify the mystery of his life experience?
After the clarification, can I still be as arbitrary as before?
Ji Yun really didn't know this.
While he was thinking about it, the servant came to report that two guests were visiting the master.
"guest?"
Ji Yun asked the servant who the visitor was, but the servant did not know.
"Take them to the study first and make tea for them."
Ji Yun, a Hanlin scholar who was a prostitute, did not dare to neglect someone who could move around the city at will. He asked the servant to lead him to the guest room, patted Minggan's body, and asked her to help him dress.
After sorting things out, Ji Yun came to the study with a big pipe in his hand. What caught his eye were two strong men who looked like soldiers.
"Master Ji!"
The two strong men knew from the tobacco pouch in the bachelor's hand that he was the real master, and quickly stood up and saluted.
"You are?"
Because he didn't know whether the two men were in the army or why they were there, Ji Yun was at a loss.
The taller man on the left cupped his fists and said, "Scholar Ji, we are the Baolong clan!"
"The Baolong clan?"
Ji Yun was confused: What do you mean?
The shorter and stronger man on the right was afraid that the bachelor would not understand, so he reminded: "Scholar, we are the Longs of Qianlong, and we are the Baolong clan!"
