Chapter 186: Blowing Sleeves

What on earth is he trying to do?

Ji Yong himself was also a little confused.

Logically, if he met someone as worthy as Song Mo, he should have tried to deal with Song Mo first. But he was obsessed with how to embarrass the vulnerable Wei Tingyu. As for the grudge between him and Song Mo, it became secondary - if they met in the future, they would fight again; if they didn't, he would wait until he defeated Wei Tingyu, and then he would fight with Song Mo to decide the outcome.

When did he become so weak and afraid of being tough?

Ji Yong lay on the bamboo couch under the big locust tree in her back garden, staring at the lush branches and leaves above her head in a daze.

Zishang walked over quietly and whispered, "Sir, Master Yang from the Hanlin Academy is here to visit."

Lord Yang refers to Yang Yunxiao.

A few days ago, Ji Yong was preparing to spread rumors about Wei Tingyu, and he often went out drinking with Yang Yunxiao, Chen Zhiji and others, and they became very close.

But when he heard Yang Yunxiao's name, he waved his hands impatiently and told Zishang: "Just say that my great-grandfather has put me under house arrest. Go to his house to visit him in a few days."

Zishang went back to Yang Yunxiao with a sad face.

The offspring came over.

Ji Yong frowned, looking very annoyed: "What's the matter again?"

The son hurriedly said, "The fourth young lady of the Dou family came to Kyoto with the Dou family's madam..."

"What did you say?" Ji Yong was stunned, then jumped up with joy, "Really? Fourth sister came to Kyoto?"

The son couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's true. The lady has already sent a letter."

The two families were in-laws, and when the Second Lady came to Kyoto, Ji Yong's mother and aunt should have gone to greet her. Similarly, when Old Master Ji came to Kyoto, Dou Shishu, Dou Shiheng, and Dou Shiying all came to greet him.

Ji Yong got off the couch and said, "Let's go and see our fourth sister!" Then, without waiting for his children to respond, he left Yuqiao Hutong like the wind.

When Han got the news, she was extremely anxious. After thinking for a while, she went to Old Lady Ji's yard.

Old Mrs. Ji is painting in the study.

The old eagle, whose feathers are now somewhat scattered, still has a sharp gaze, and its sharp claws are tightly grasping the rocks under its feet. Its posture is still majestic, with the majestic spirit of "an old horse in the stable, with a thousand miles to go".

After hearing the grandson's wife's crying, Old Lady Ji put down the brush in her hand, carefully looked at her paintings for a few times, and then said slowly: "You said, did Jianming go to see the fourth daughter of the Dou family?"

"Yes!" Han wiped her tears and choked up, "When he heard that the fourth daughter of the Dou family came to Kyoto, he ran out and couldn't be stopped. The lady also said that the fourth daughter of the Dou family came to Beijing this time to discuss marriage with the Wei family. Jianming ran around without any scruples. If the Wei family misunderstood him, it would be troublesome! Jianming would at most be impeached by the historian, and after a long time, everyone would forget about it. But what about the fourth daughter of the Dou family? Old lady, you have to take care of it this time, otherwise something big will really happen!" Then she said, "You said last time that you had arranged Jianming's marriage. I wonder which girl you like? Is she good-tempered? What's her character like? Jianming is also at the age of marriage. If you like her, why not get Jianming married by the end of this year?"

"There's no rush for marriage. As long as Jianming has the ability, he can marry any kind of daughter-in-law!" Old Lady Ji laughed, still in a nonchalant tone, "Jianming has me, his uncle, and his father watching over him, what can go wrong? His cousin is here, and he has borrowed books from her house before, so it's only natural for him to go and see her. Even if it's a case of historical investigation, it can't impeach Jianming for this, right? Don't worry about this. Even if you don't trust Jianming, you should trust Jianming's aunt, right? If there's anything wrong between Jianming and the fourth young lady, I'm afraid the aunt will come to your door before you find out. Don't think of making up stories and ruining your son's reputation."

Han's face flushed.

Old Lady Ji said, "Okay, just do your own thing peacefully. I'll take care of this matter!"

Han had no choice but to retreat.

Old Mrs. Ji continued to paint as if nothing had happened, and added a few blades of grass in the cracks of the rock under the eagle's claws.

Ji Yong quickly rushed to Huaishu Hutong.

Dou Zhaozheng and Dou Dechang were talking: "Is Ling Ze living in the Han family or the Ji family now?"

Dou Dechang asked curiously, "How should I know?"

Dou Zhao was shocked.

Compared with the previous life, Ji Ling only postponed the wedding date, so how come Dou Dechang knew nothing about her?

Could it be that I have inadvertently changed the destiny of the rules and regulations, and changed it for the worse?

She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and her face turned pale.

Dou Dechang didn't understand.

Just then a little maid came to report that Ji Yong came to visit Ji.

Dou Dechang was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled Ji Yong to ask, "Where does cousin Ling Ze live now?"

Ji Yong was puzzled and said, "Of course it was at Han's house. Why are you asking this?"

Dou Dechang pointed at Dou Zhao and said, "That's what my fourth sister wants to ask."

Dou Zhao had already calmed down. When he heard that Ji Yong was here, he was muttering in his heart, "I was just worried that I couldn't find an excuse to see him, but he came to my door on his own initiative." Ji Yong said angrily, "The Han family is such a jerk! They knew that Han Liu was about to die, but they still sent people to urge her to get married. My grandfather was the same. One moment he said he would wait until Han Liu died, and the next moment he agreed..."

There was a cough at the door.

When Dou Zhao and others looked over, they saw Dou Zhengchang and his wife standing there with embarrassed faces.

Ji Yong sneered and looked straight at Dou Zhengchang's Han.

Han blushed and knelt down to salute, calling him "cousin" and muttering, "It's our old lady who loves Sixth Brother so much..."

"Stop!" Ji Yong said sarcastically, "The old lady in your family is the second wife. When has she ever had the leisure to feel sorry for Han Laoliu?"

Han's face turned red as if blood could drip out.

Dou Zhengchang glared at Ji Yong and said, "Jianming, don't be picky!" He defended Han.

Han looked at Dou Zhengchang with gratitude.

Dou Dechang was busy trying to smooth things over: "Cousin Ji, how come you have time to come visit my mother today? My mother just went to visit my fifth aunt, saying that she wanted to discuss accompanying the lady to visit Baiyun Temple tomorrow. She should be back soon. Please sit for a while!"

Because of the arrival of the Second Lady, the people from the Sixth House usually stayed in Huaishu Hutong.

Ji Yong snorted coldly and sat down carelessly.

Dou Zhao felt like he was dreaming, and everything was inconsistent with what he knew in his past life.

Su Xin, who was serving nearby, saw that Dou Zhao looked very bad, so she quickly made another cup of hot tea.

Dou Zhao drank a few sips of tea, and his complexion gradually improved. He stood up and said to Ji Yong, who had just sat down, "Cousin Ji, I have something to ask you. Can I go to the yard with you alone and talk for a few words?"

Because of the previous conversation, Dou Zhengchang and his wife felt a little strange, but they did not think about it in other ways.

Dou Zhengchang thought Dou Zhao was going to ask about Ji Lingze. When he saw Dou Zhao and Ji Yong leaving the house, he whispered to Dou Zhengchang and his wife why Dou Zhao was looking for Ji Yong.

Despite this, Han still found it unbelievable to see Ji Yong following Dou Zhao obediently without saying a word.

Since when did the arrogant Ji Jianming of the Ji family become so easy to talk to?

Dou Zhao naturally didn't know Han's mood. She stood under the pomegranate tree in the yard and asked Ji Yong: "What's going on in Qianfosi Hutong?"

"Eh!" Ji Yong's eyes widened, "How did you know?" Then she thought of a possibility, and suddenly her heart was filled with sourness. She couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to care about Wei Tingyu! Did you send someone to keep an eye on him? If that's the case, why are you still asking me? Just go and ask Wei Tingyu! See what he says and then come to me to question him! Don't you know what kind of person he is? Are you really going to marry him?"

Dou Zhao was furious as she looked at Ji Yong who was speaking without thinking. Thinking of the incident with Dou Ming, he accused her of speaking in favor of Dou Ming because he was her sister. She took a few deep breaths to calm down and said, "So, you are right to destroy the reputation of Marquis Jining?"

"I ruined his reputation?" Ji Yong raised his chin and said disdainfully, "Does he have a reputation in Kyoto? If he hadn't hooked up with Song Mo, the prince of the Duke of England, who do you think would know him among the nobles in Kyoto?"

Why is Song Mo involved again?

Dou Zhao frowned.

Ji Yong felt even more unhappy.

He came to see Dou Zhao with great enthusiasm, but before he could even say hello, the two of them started arguing, and it was all about that cockroach-like Wei Tingyu!

They both fell silent at the same time.

Dou Zhao advised Ji Yong: "Don't be like this in the future. Good things have their good consequences, and bad things have their bad consequences. Would you rather everyone like you or hate you? I think if everyone hates me, I won't be able to sleep well..."

"Then he has to be able to keep me awake." Ji Yong muttered, but in the end he did not continue to confront Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao smiled.

Ji Yong's mood also improved. He called out to Dou Zhao and said, "Tell me the truth. What are you doing in Kyoto?"

Dou Zhao really doesn't want Ji Yong to interfere anymore. He is always short-sighted and makes a lot of noise. If he attracts Song Mo's attention and Song Mo finds out what's going on and interferes in the matter, it will be troublesome.

There are some debts of gratitude that she is unable to repay.

Dou Zhao had no choice but to say: "I have thought about it carefully. I have to get married sooner or later. It is better to marry Wei Tingyu. At least he is honest and reliable..."

"When you look for a husband, is it enough for him to be honest and reliable?" Ji Yong was furious. "There are a lot of men like this in the world. What's so strange about them? Besides, is Wei Tingyu honest and reliable or cowardly and incompetent? You should open your eyes and take a closer look. Even if you want to get married, you don't have to marry someone like Wei Tingyu! You don't know that when he saw Zhao Zishu's ugly look, his eyes almost fell out. He couldn't even control his emotions. What else could he do..."

How many people in the world are as strong as you, Ji Yong? !

Most of them are ordinary people.

Dou Zhao smiled bitterly.

Ji Yong, however, regarded this as a compromise.

He finally couldn't help it and walked away.

I ran into Ji, who had rushed back specially because he heard that Ji Yong was coming.

"See you..." She greeted her nephew with a smile.

Ji Yong, however, walked past her with an expressionless face.

Ji was confused and asked Dou Zhao, who was standing in the yard with a helpless look on his face, "What's wrong with him? Who offended him?"
