After having a happy reunion dinner together, the brothers Gu and An looked at the time and left quickly.
"You've raised your two children so well, old man. Now I feel that this exile is not bad. My sister told me before that Xiao Gu was doing well over there, but there was no feedback. I couldn't let him go, so it would be a good opportunity to go and take a look." Zhang Yutao said.
Zhang Yutao and the Prime Minister's wife Zhang Yumei were both born in the Zhang family, the Minister of Rites. However, Zhang Yutao was born out of wedlock. The Zhang family had few daughters, and Zhang Yutao's mother died after giving birth to her due to a difficult childbirth. So she was raised by her stepmother. Therefore, she had a good relationship with her stepmother. After Zhang Yumei married into the Ji family, she found that the family style of the Ji family was really good.
After asking Zhang Yutao's opinion, he promised the bride to Ji Wenxiu. Although Ji Wenxiu was from a side branch, he was not only handsome, but also talented in studying. Ji Wenxiu was also in officialdom in his early years, but later he found that he was more suitable for and liked teaching, so he went to Nanshan Academy.
Nanshan Academy was almost as famous as the Imperial College. The Imperial College's reputation was due to its students being the children of aristocratic families. Nanshan Academy's faculty was also quite strong, but its students were mostly from ordinary families. Gu Shiliang had been admitted to Nanshan Academy and became a student of Ji Wenxiu.
"Xiao Gu is good. I, an old man, had good taste back then." Ji Wenxiu was so proud of himself that his mustache was about to stand up when he thought about the fact that he had chosen this son-in-law.
"Why do I remember that it was me who suggested it back then? Dad, you're still making things difficult for your brother-in-law." Ji Haiping couldn't help but interrupt. With the original owner's memories, he naturally knew about Gu Shiliang's story. Gu Shiliang lost his mother in childhood and his father in youth. Although his family had little property and he was devoted to his studies, this was not a good marriage partner in ancient times.
Gu Shiliang became Ji Wenxiu's disciple and was a classmate with him, so he knew him well. He knew that Ji Wenxiu was a man of excellent character, appearance and talent. He even secretly let his younger sister meet him, which led to their later fate. His father was very angry at the time and asked many questions when he was picking up the bride, but none of them stumped Gu Shiliang.
"Really? You must have remembered it wrongly." Ji Wenxiu said with a proud and arrogant look, as if he had remembered it wrongly. The others looked at him with amusement and helplessness. The old man was getting younger and younger. What could they do? They could only spoil him.
"Right, right, right. Dad must have misremembered it." Ji Xueling quickly went up to him and acted cute. The family was well integrated, and at least the characters weren't strained at all. When Ji Xueling was in modern society, her grandparents were still alive, but you have to know that some family members are worse off than not having them. So she accepted this open-minded and kind couple well.
Their family is completely different from Gu Can's family. All three members are hardworking and capable. Ji Haiping is the third child in the family. His father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't care about him. However, he strives to be a good person. Not only does he pick up waste and study, but he also stands at the forefront of the times and becomes a leading real estate developer in City A.
Qin Qiuyue's family favors boys over girls, and she has four older sisters. After seeing the tragedy of her sisters, she woke up and resisted, seeking help from the Women's Federation. In the end, she went to university and became the director of the gynecology department of a tertiary hospital.
Ji Xueling herself graduated from a 211 university, majoring in finance, and was thriving at work. The family of three rarely agreed to take a break and go on a trip together, but because of a pot of mushroom hot pot, they traveled through time.
"You're so clever! Go to sleep." The old man was very fond of his granddaughter and poked her forehead with a smile. They didn't talk any more, after all, they had to travel tomorrow. The others didn't object. But he felt much more relaxed. After all, he had something to look forward to, and he was no longer worried about the future.
The next day, Ji Haiping took out some of the banknotes Gu He'an had given him, presented them to the officials, and said he wanted to do some shopping. Gu He'an had already taken care of Ji Wenxiu's family, as they were not the main criminals but the side branches, and there were people to take care of them. Now that the gifts were in place, the officials would still turn a blind eye as long as they were not too excessive.
After leaving the city gate, the others saw that Ji Wenxiu's family had a new mule cart. Not only was there a lot of stuff on it, but the two old people could also sit on it. Of course, Zhang Yutao didn't forget her sister and brother-in-law. They were old and pampered, and they had suffered a lot in the past month.
"Yutao, what's this?" Zhang Yumei asked in a low voice as she saw Zhang Yutao coming over.
"It's He'an and Heju from Yiwan's family who are here. Sister, tell your brother-in-law that as long as the family is together, anywhere is fine. Yiwan and the others are in Yingzhou, and everything will be fine." Zhang Yutao comforted her sister.
"Don't worry, your brother-in-law is a kindhearted man. As for me, a girl from the Zhang family is not afraid of hardship." Zhang Yumei patted Zhang Yutao's hand. Feeling the roughened hand, Zhang Yutao felt a little sad. When had her sister ever suffered such hardship? Zhang Yumei didn't refuse her kindness and couldn't bear it any longer, so she sat on the mule cart.
Most of the time, the two sisters rode in the mule cart. Ji Wenbo thought that as a grown man, it would be easier for him to take his wife's younger sister's place. There were quite a few people in the Ji family.
But unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, a group of people arrived and said they wanted to disperse the Ji family, some to Jiangcheng, some to Lingnan, in short, to separate them all over the place. The Ji family was very confused, but later they thought that this could not be the emperor's will, and it must be the idea of the arrogant and self-willed prince.
The Ji family members weren't afraid. They weren't all wimps who depended on Ji Wenbo for their livelihood. Some, like Ji Wenxiu, were teachers, some ran academies, and some were businessmen. In short, their connections were incredibly wide, and this made it easier for them to travel all over the world. As long as the Imperial Concubine and the Fourth Prince were still around, who could predict what the future would hold?
