Cheng Wu was stunned for a moment. Lord Ji's expression made him feel as if he saw Ji Feifei sitting in front of him.
In the past, Ji Feifei would have this expression when she disliked something.
He suddenly remembered the first time he met Ji Mingxuan. At that time, he seemed to feel that this brother looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Now he finally figured it out. It turned out that he was his wife's brother from the same mother. How could they not look alike?
"Fei Fei said you enjoy investigating cases. In the year since she married you, she's often heard you complain about the injustices in Taoyuan County. Since I arrived in Taoyuan County, I've handled several cases involving you. You truly have a clear mind, unlike the average detective. So, my father and I made the right decision. Once your status is cleared, we'll find you a position in the Dali Temple in the capital!"
Ji Mingxuan said.
"Going to the capital?"
Cheng Wu asked with a frown.
"Why? Is it not possible? Jinyan has to rely on the imperial examination, and Jinxing has to take the military examination. Your Cheng family will eventually go to the capital. I know your family's situation and Brother Cheng's status. It is impossible for your family to split up, so wouldn't it be great for the whole family to go to the capital?"
Ji Mingxuan said.
Cheng Wu felt that Ji Mingxuan's words had hurt his self-esteem.
There was a feeling that the Cheng family was relying on the Ji family, which made him feel indescribably depressed.
"Awu, I understand what you're thinking now. As a man, I understand your feelings. However, you've already married Feifei. Because of Feifei, your Cheng family might get into big trouble, and at this time, you shouldn't care about anything else. Whether Jinyan and Jinxing can pass the exam depends on their abilities. It's useless to rely on the master alone. I can also guarantee that our Ji family will never interfere during their exams."
"As for the position I just mentioned, finding you a position at the Dali Temple is indeed thanks to my father's connections, but you also have to be competent for it! My father only recommended you, it doesn't mean you can stay there forever. The Dali Temple has very strict assessments, and those without ability won't last long."
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Ji Mingxuan said seriously.
"Yeah, I understand!"
After a long time, Cheng Wu nodded in response.
…
At noon, Ji Mingxuan went to Cheng's private kitchen for lunch in a very good mood. He originally asked Cheng Wu to join him, but Cheng Wu said he had to go home, so he went alone.
We arrived a little late, and there were no customers in Cheng's private kitchen.
In fact, they didn't have many customers to begin with.
"Good afternoon, Master Ji! Would you like a set meal?"
Cheng Yue saw Ji Mingxuan's eyes light up and greeted him.
"Yeah! It's a pity I couldn't bring a few friends with me today, so I can't get a discount!"
Ji Mingxuan said with a smile.
"It's okay. If you can help me, Master Ji, I'll give you a discount!"
Cheng Yue said.
"Oh? Miss Cheng actually wants my help? Where's Brother Mo? If Brother Mo knew, wouldn't he be jealous?"
Ji Mingxuan sat down and teased.
"No way! He can't help with this! Dahua, go ask big brother to cook a set meal!"
Cheng Yue carried the teapot and told Dahua to go in and inform Cheng Wen, then walked forward, personally poured a cup of hot tea for Ji Mingxuan, and sat down.
"Well, Miss Cheng's tea is still the best. It may not be a famous or fine tea, but it tastes unique!"
Ji Mingxuan took a sip of tea and sighed.
