When the eldest son of Duke Zhang Pei of Jingguo, Yuan, was almost dying of childbirth when he gave birth to Zhang Yuanming. Zhang Yuanming was dull by nature and was foolish and fat when he grew up. Mrs. Yuan felt upset when she saw it, and liked her second son Zhang Jiming and her youngest son Zhang Xuming. Therefore, Zhang Yuanming was already twenty-six years old, and the Duke Jingguo's mansion had not yet established a prince. This not only made Wei Tingzhen very uneasy, but also made Zhang Jiming and Zhang Xuming very uneasy. (Look at Ye Zi·You~You) The Duke Jingguo's mansion was undercurrents under the appearance of the flowers.

Wang Qinghai is the fourth son of the Ting'an Marquis' Mansion and has a good relationship with Wei Tingyu, so he naturally knows the ins and outs of it.

He fell silent after hearing this and asked Wei Tingyu softly: "What are you going to do?"

Wei Tingyu said: "So I want to go back and find my father as soon as possible!"

Wang Qinghai was excited and said, "You mean..."

Wei Tingyu's face suddenly turned red: "You can't let Miss Dou get rid of the engagement, right? How can she live then?" He stuttered, with a little distorted expression.

Wang Qinghai laughed loudly and patted Wei Tingyu on the shoulder hard, staggering Wei Tingyu and almost fell down: "I knew that Brother Wei is a good man who stands tall and stands tall and will not just run back timidly. Let's go, I'll accompany you to tell the old marquis."

Wei Tingyu nodded and grabbed Wang Qinghai's shoulder. The two of them got on the horse and whipped away.

In the flower hall, Dou Zhao was still talking to Chen Qushui: "...Have you ever thought carefully about why the Dou family and the Wei family retreated from their marriage, but let the He family come forward?"

Chen Qushui also thought about this problem, and he said cautiously: "I think it may be because the Sixth Master and the Seventh Master both strongly opposed this marriage. The Fifth Master did not want to destroy the friendship between brothers for this, so he had to throw this matter to the He family. It can be said that the Sixth Master and the Seventh Master retreated to the He family. There is an explanation for the He family, and neither side will offend. The biggest reason is that the Fifth Master is at the critical moment of competing for the Pavilion Master, and there is no room for mistakes, especially in terms of virtue, there is no stain on his virtues and being caught by his opponents - the reason why the Fifth Master can compete with Wang Xingyi is because the Fifth Master has been doing things in the past few years, is eager for justice, and is praised by his colleagues..."

Dou Zhao nodded constantly and smiled, "We must seize this opportunity!"

"Opportunity?" Chen Qushui said in confusion: "What opportunity? Things have already started. The Wei family will not return the token to the He family, right? Then what have they become? Selling their wives to seek honor, and the Wei family can still gain a foothold in the circle of nobles in the future!"

"Don't say anything so absolutely." Dou Zhao said, "I may not know anything else, but I know everything about the Wei family. At this time, the Jining Marquis Mansion had long been away from the temple and the royal family, and was in a down-and-out manner for the second and third-rate noble family. Not only did the powerful ministers support him to get a favorable job to support the party, but money also needed to support the increasingly embarrassing amount." As she said, she paused and mentioned Zhang Yuanming: "... He is the legitimate, and he is also the eldest. And he was already at the age of asking for a crown prince. This matter was just a small task for the He family. With Wei Tingzhen helping to talk about Xiang, with the love between the old Marquis of Wei and his wife, the Wei family agreed to Wei Tingyu to take Zhang Zaiming's request to a crown prince and the He family."

Chen Qu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and looked down on the Wei family even more. He said, "What does the Fourth Miss mean?"

"I want to ask you to go to Kyoto in person and talk to Mr. Wei." Dou Zhao smiled, "Whether it is for the sake of face or interests, keeping the token in the Wei family is the best choice. After all, my fifth uncle can also become a cabinet master. I also have a generous dowry." After saying that, she joked again, "You can also take the opportunity to help my fifth uncle correct his name - it's not that our Dou family wants to withdraw from this marriage, it's entirely because the Wei family ignored this marriage for so many years. She bowed her head to marry a wife and raised her head to marry a daughter. The Dou family couldn't come to the door by themselves, right?"

Chen Qushui hesitated and said, "Tell the Wei family about how many industries are under your name?"

"No need." Dou Zhao smiled. "I'm afraid I'll lose myself by then. After all, I'm the daughter of the Dou family, so it's normal for the dowry to be richer than an ordinary family."

She thought of Wei Tingzhen's expression of satisfaction when she saw her dowry when she married into the Wei family in her previous life.

Chen Qushui understood and smiled and said, "I must have taken this mistake to the Wei family."

Dou Zhao laughed twice.

※※※※※

Ji Yong was also smiling at the note in his hand.

The Wei family suggested that if the He family could help Zhang Yuanming ask for the position of crown prince, they would return the token of the inquiry to the He family.

not bad.[]

Dou Zhao is at least worthy of the title of prince.

He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and ordered his close servant to come forward, "Take my famous post with you, and we'll go to Jining Hou Mansion." His tone seemed a little happy.

Zishang therefore laughed boldly and said, "What are we doing when we go to Jining Hou Mansion? We are not familiar with those noble families..."

Ji Yong glanced at him coldly.

Zishang hurriedly called the maid to serve Ji Yong to change clothes. He went to Ji Yong's study to get a famous post, sent someone to get a carriage, and accompanied Ji Yong out of the door.

They lived in the house of the Ji family in Kyoto Gongzhong, located in the center of Kyoto, Nanxunfang, the Six Ministry of Doors, Hanlin Courtyard, and Zhan Shi Mansion. Three houses with five entrances and three roads account for one-third of the Yuhe Hutong, which is very grand.

In the main courtyard, they met several young men dressed in scholars.

When they saw Ji Yong, they made way for him from afar.

Ji Yong didn't raise the corners of his eyes, and he turned his head away without hesitation.

However, Zishang recognized that the leader was Young Master Min from the Twelve Masters' house. He didn't know the others. He should be a classmate from Young Master Min's Imperial College.

He smiled at Master Min, saying hello, and then he heard someone among the group of people say dissatisfied: "This is the successful young Jie Yuanlang in your family? He is too arrogant, right? Although we are not as knowledge as him, we may not have the day we will be awarded the title..."

Zi Shang heard Master Min laughing and said, "Brother Jie Yuan, you misunderstood. My fellow disciple is not arrogant, but "only reading the books of sages and turning a blind eye to the things outside the window." He does not understand these human feelings. It is not that you met him for the first time, but that he has known each other for a long time and has not seen him for some days. He will immediately forget what you look like. For this reason, my fellow disciple has made jokes. Everyone in our family is used to it. You will know it after dating him for a long time. He has never recognized people since he was a child..."

Fortunately, I met Mr. Min. If I met Mr. Yu, let alone explaining it to the young master, it would be better if he didn't instigate others to cause trouble for the young master.

Zishang quickly caught up with Ji Yong and left the gate. Just as he was about to say something to Master Min in front of Ji Yong, he saw a black painted carriage surrounded by blue cloth parked in front of them.

What got out of the car was Ji Yong's father Ji Qi.

He was in his forties and wore a scarlet official uniform with a 4th rank, Yunyan Buzi, and was handsome, with a gentle expression and elegant appearance.

Ji Qi asked his son with a smile: "Jianming, where are you going?"

Ji Yong didn't blink for a moment, saying, "I'm going to Yubaoxuan to see if there is any better inkstone."

"Is the money enough?"

Ji Yongli ignored him and got on the carriage.

Zishang hurriedly answered for him: "Enough, enough!"

Ji Qi didn't think of the coroner, so he nodded and told them to "be careful".

Zishang nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly saluted Ji Qi and climbed onto the carriage.

Ji Qi watched their carriage drive out of the Baiqiao Hutong and then entered the gate.

※※※※※

Jining Hou Mansion is located in Yumingfang, Yan'an Hou Mansion, Changxing Hou Mansion, and Xingguo Duke Mansion are all here. Most of the founding heroes of the previous dynasty were there, and it was also nicknamed "Fuguifang" by people in Kyoto.

Ji Yong met Chen Qushui who came out of Jining Hou's Mansion at the gate of Jining Hou's Mansion.

He was surprised.

Chen Qushui was even more surprised and stepped forward to salute Ji Yong.

Ji Yong said, "Why are you here? Where is the fourth lady?"

Chen Qushui smiled and said, "Miss Four is in Zhending, so I sent me to Jining Hou Mansion to do something."

Ji Yong frowned and pulled Chen Qushui while talking: "What's the matter with Miss Four?"

Chen Qushui smiled but refused to answer.

Ji Yong looked at the joy at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He felt a sense of inadequacy in his heart.

He snorted coldly and said, "Don't think I can't find out. Tell me, it's just to let me spend less time."

Chen Qu said without a smile: "After someone's trust, you must be loyal to others. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Ji Yong sneered and said, "I didn't expect that Fujian Governor Zhang Kai is a corrupt, but his aide is a loyal and brave man."

Fujian Governor Zhang Kai abandoned the city and fled when the Japanese pirates attacked Fuzhou. He was killed by Fujian General Jiang Meisun, Duke Dingguo, and his head hung on the wall of Fuzhou for three days. It was known to everyone in the court and the government.

Chen Qushui's face changed drastically, and his expression suddenly became very cold: "Then I can only ask Juren Ji to inquire by himself." As he said that, he swung his sleeves and boarded a carriage next to him and left.

Zi Shang looked at Ji Yong with a gloomy face and kept muttering in his heart.

The young master has never been ignored like this before when he grows up so old. I'm afraid he's so angry?

I don’t know how the young master will deal with Mr. Chen?

However, Mr. Chen seems to be the fourth lady of the Dou family. The fourth lady of the Dou family is also very powerful. She pretends to be deaf and dumb, and beats Pang Kunbai to death. If the young master punishes her, I don’t know if she will come to settle the score with the young master.

Although the young master has a strong personality, every time he meets the fourth lady of the Dou family, he feels like a fire hitting water. No matter how strong your fire is, she can make the young master feel cold in a few words, making the young master unable to breathe for a long time.

If the fourth lady of the Dou family had a dispute with the young master, would this little fish and shrimp be affected?

The son thought in pain and heard Ji Yong gritting his teeth and saying, "Let's go back."

The young master will not go to the Jining Marquis Mansion?

He was slightly stunned and hurriedly served Ji Yong onto the carriage.

In the evening, Zixi, who helped Ji Yong find out about the news, came back, and Ji Yong was furious in the house.

"Can't this woman be more at ease? If I say it, I will help her, and I will naturally do things properly. What kind of thing is she showing off!" After scolding, he collapsed on the Grand Master's chair and looked at Cheng Chen with blue-green tangled branches on his head and grinned: "But, he is so smart and capable..." At this point, he jumped up and asked: "What restaurant in Kyoto is the best? I want to invite He Yu to drink!"
