Chapter 2 Finding the Difference(1/2)
A small courtyard with two entry.
It is not so grand, but it is better than elegance and exquisiteness.
When I went out, I didn't see anyone.
After asking, I found out that the courtyard was not big and there were not many people. Before they moved in, there was only a family of three in charge, plus two maids in the inner courtyard.
Ji Huaishan went to Beijing to report his work, and only Uncle Tie was with him.
Ji Qingning sneaked into Beijing, and only the little maid followed him.
When he arrived at Ji Huaishan's place, he found no one. The little maid looked around and said, "I woke up before, and my father and your father left in a hurry. Maybe they went out of the government to do business."
But what is so important than treating a girl?
If you can’t find someone, you can’t get the permission order, so you can only take action first and then report.
Ji Qingning walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
When I was going up the steps, I met the manager of the courtyard and came back. The little maid hurriedly called out, "Uncle Liu, do you know where my master has gone?"
The manager looked at Ji Qingning with complicated eyes, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
Ji Qingning thought there was something dirty on his face, so he raised his hand and wiped it, "If you have something to do, you might as well say it."
The manager pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Young Master Ji, please invite a doctor to the mansion."
Ji Qingning was very warm, but she didn't expect so many people to care about her, "I'm fine."
"…The doctor invited him to Mr. Ji," said the manager.
Ji Qingning, “….”
Have a request for her father?
Seeing that Ji Qingning looked confused, she guessed that she was not aware of it, she said, "Half an hour ago, the court sent someone to pronounce the imperial edict and promoted Mr. Ji to the Minister of Justice, but Mr. Ji only wanted to go back to Taiping Town to be a small county magistrate..."
If you want to be in charge, you are not as ignorant as Mr. Ji.
The county magistrate in Taiping Town is only the seventh rank, and the Minister of Justice is the third rank. How many levels have he been promoted? If someone else had a dream, he would wake up laughing... No, he laughed and said, "He still disagreed with a gloomy face, as if someone owed him ten thousand taels of silver and refused to pay it back."
Xuan Zhi's father-in-law was probably jealous, and his words were particularly harsh. Every word was like a knife. He was promoted to seven or eight levels in a row. Not to mention that his son just lost his memory, he was worth it even if he died.
It is normal for Mr. Ji to be angry. After all, his father-in-law is a destined person without children. He does not understand the weight of a son in his father's heart, especially Mr. Ji's son is only one.
But to count it, the father-in-law who announced the imperial edict was right. Mr. Ji's promotion this time was indeed a blessing from his son.
Young Master Ji ruined the reputation of the little princess of the Zhao Mansion in public. No matter how dissatisfied Prince Zhao, he had to consider his daughter. In the future, the in-laws will be the Minister of Justice. If his daughter marrys the Minister of the Secretariat, she will be so beautiful in appearance.
Duke Yu was trying to deal with the aftermath for his son. I heard that Duke Yu was so angry that he could not even get out of bed.
Prince Zhao and Duke Yu had no choice but to force him, and the father-in-law Xuanzhi had a good relationship with them, so he naturally looked at them. In his eyes, Mr. Ji was shameless and wouldn't he be angry?
Ji Qingning believed the little maid's words that her father was so calm. She smiled and said, "Taiping Town is that good?"
The little maid looked at Ji Qingning and didn't know what to say.
Taiping Town is where she grew up. After only half a month after she came out, she felt a little confused about Taiping Town.
But no matter how good it is, it is definitely incomparable to Kyoto.
"Before the master entered Beijing, the old lady asked the master to find a way to raise the money, so that he could not waste his whole life as a seventh-rank county magistrate," said the little maid.
"The master has been a small county magistrate for fifteen years."
There are people in the court who are easy to be officials.
Unfortunately, their master did not. Otherwise, if it was smooth and smooth in fifteen years, they would have almost been promoted to the third grade.
Ji Qingning knows a little bit about the matter in the officialdom. It is not easy to climb up, and no one can stop her from retreating. Her father just wanted to go back to Taiping Town, so why did he need to hire a doctor?
I don’t know if I don’t ask, but I’m shocked when I ask.
"Master Ji is going to beat Duke Yu," the manager said, twitching his mouth.
The little maid opened her eyes wide and said, "My master doesn't know how to do martial arts, haven't my father stopped me?"
bar?
The servants of Duke Yu’s mansion blocked the door, which was the way your father opened.
He threw the two gatekeepers aside with one arm. He watched them enter the Duke Yu's mansion with his own eyes.
Although I don’t know who the boss he serves, this family is obviously inexperienced.
Who is Duke Yu in the officialdom? Who doesn’t know that he is a general who holds military power and kills decisively. Duke Yu’s wife is the emperor’s favorite cousin. Not to mention that Master Ji does not know martial arts, he is just superb martial arts. He went to the house to shout, can he get the best?
No one will sympathize with you when you are beaten to death.
Why did the boss have such a close friend? He would not be implicated in such a mess. He did not want to let down his boss's kindness, otherwise he would have stayed away with his wife and children.
The little maid was anxious, "Let's go to Duke Yu's Mansion."
Ji Qingning walked out and asked, "Can I persuade my father?"
The little maid stopped abruptly and cried anxiously, "The master is very easy to talk, but if he is stubborn, only the old lady can persuade him, and the lady may not do it."
Not to mention them.
I feel that her father and the master are going to be beaten to death by Duke Yu.
They also came to their doorstep to get beaten.
Ji Qingning's mind flashed through her father and Uncle Tie, and no matter how she looked, she thought they were not impulsive people.
As he walked, his stomach suddenly roared.
Ji Qingning couldn't soothe his Wudian Temple and sang the empty city song. He held his forehead and said, "Let's eat enough first."
Seeing Ji Qingning and the maid walking out, the eyes of the small courtyard manager were almost glaring out.
My own father’s life is almost impossible to save. As a son, he not only has no hurry but also has to go to have a meal?
So unfilial, wouldn’t he be afraid of lightning?
Ji Qingning and the little maid walked towards the street. As soon as they left the alley, the little maid said happily, "It's the master and my father."
Ji Qingning looked into the distance and saw Ji Huaishan and Uncle Tie on the horse in the lively crowd.
Facing the sunshine, you can see bruises on their faces, but they are in good spirits. Even if they have injuries, they are just skin trauma, which is not a problem.
The little maid was about to run up, but Ji Qingning caught her.
Is this little maid stupid?
At this time, you will definitely be taken back to the yard. It will not be so easy to come out again when you go back.
The little maid realized it later and was pulled by Ji Qingning to hide in a small pavilion, and waited for Ji Huaishan and Uncle Tie to enter the alley before coming out.
Changping Street is the most prosperous street in Kyoto.
There are shops on both sides of the road, teahouses, wineries, and pawn shops. In front of the shop are small vendors selling some exquisite gadgets, and hawking sounds are heard one after another. Occasionally, children sing nursery rhymes hand in hand, which is noisy and lively.
Ji Huaishan and Uncle Tie were fine, and the little maid was relieved. She looked around and said, "Where are we going to have a meal?"
"Look for a restaurant with a lot of family," Ji Qingning said casually.
There are many people eating, and the taste will never be too bad.
The little maid was also greedy, so the master and servant walked out, and soon they entered a restaurant.
I don’t know if there is any better business in front of me. The downstairs of this house are full, and the fragrance of food floats up the street. The people’s stomachs are rolling in and are being pulled in by the fragrance.
When I entered the restaurant, the dishes became even more fragrant. When I went upstairs, the young man from the restaurant brought the dishes and wine to him. The fragrance...
The little maid swallowed, "We also call this dish."
"good."
The little maid smiled and curled her eyes, dressed in a servant, looking inconsistent.
The two went upstairs, and a servant stood at the door of a private room upstairs. When they saw them going up, their eyes were almost falling out.
Ji Qingning felt a gaze that made her uncomfortable. She turned around and saw the servant pushing the door into the private room.
She shook her head, it should be her illusion.
The restaurant guy led them to sit down.
Ji Qingning was just here and didn't know what the Daye Dynasty tasted and what dishes were there, so she simply asked the guy to serve a few signature dishes.
The guy agreed quickly.
The dishes were a little slow.
How slow is it?
Before the food was served, the one who found faults came first.
Ji Qingning and the little maid sat by the window.
While drinking tea, I watched the streets bustling with people and cars coming and going.
Just as I was feeling comfortable, the table was suddenly kicked.
To be continued...
