Ji Yunxi: "That's good. If that's the case, why did you look for me?"
Yang Yiqing: "Third Miss, it really is..."
"Oh, I remember now." Ji Yunxi raised her eyes and interrupted her, "You just said that your family is in trouble. You mean that the amount of money is a bit large and the Yang family can't come up with it for the time being, right?"
Yang Yiqing felt that it was difficult to respond to this.
It’s even more impossible not to reply: “Yes, but…”
"It's okay." Ji Yunxi said politely, "You should have told me earlier. I originally gave you three days to gather everything, but since that's the case, I'll give you a few days and let you gather everything in seven."
Yang Yiqing's face was whiter than the snow.
Just then, Ji Mingshuang walked over from a distance.
Ji Yunxi interrupted the young lady of the Yang family, who was speaking in a foot-binding cloth: "I have some things to do and need to return home first. Miss, you don't have to thank me. With the friendship between our two families, there is no need to be polite."
As soon as she finished speaking, she left.
She was open and honest, completely ignoring what the capital would make up about her, Ji Yunxi, after this happened.
At the back, Wu Weian, huddled beside his second brother, gently weighed the heater in his hand.
It seems that it is not given away for free.
Maybe you have to pay it back.
-
Not long after returning to the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion, Ji Mingxi also returned, bringing back 10,000 taels of silver.
Today happened to be the third day for the Yang family to repay the debt. After the court session, Minister Yang personally handed it to Ji Mingxi in front of all the officials.
Ji Mingshuang was puzzled: "Didn't the Yang family say it would take seven days to pay off the debt?"
Ji Mingxi was even more puzzled. "Ah, when did the Yang family say that? Minister Yang gave it to me right after leaving the court, and he never owed me a cent. He also said that what Wei Tian gave to Yunniang didn't need to be returned, and told Yunniang to keep it well."
"At the Snow Banquet, Yang Weitian's wife-to-be came to Ji San and told him about it." Ji Mingshuang shook his head, wondering why the Yang family was so messy.
Ji Mingxi thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps my future daughter-in-law loves her family dearly and is considerate of the Yang family."
fart.
This is to ruin the reputation of the Ji family among the children of aristocratic families and officials.
Look, how stingy the Ji family is. Everything they give out will be taken back in the end.
And the main point is probably that he wants to stop Ji Yunxi from finding a husband.
A reminder to all families: if you want to marry into the Ji family for money, you have to be careful.
The Ji family is very smart and will not let you suffer any loss. If you marry Ji Mingxi, you may not get even a penny.
Now, the Fifth Prince and his party don’t want Ji Yunxi to settle down in a husband’s family at all.
They waited for a month until Ji Yunxi was included in the selection list and entered the palace to fight with the queen.
With evil intentions.
It should be Yang Weitian's little trick to counter the attack.
Ji Mingxi said to Ji Yunxi, "Yunniang, since this is the case, why don't we return the things Wei Tian sent to them?"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "Why? It was the Yang family who breached the contract first."
Ji Mingshuang also felt that he should return it, but his starting point was completely different from his eldest brother's: "Yang Weitian gave it to you, don't you think it's disgusting? I think it's disgusting, and you return it to Yang Er. I'll buy you the best."
Ji Yunxi shook her head: "No, I don't mind."
Ji Mingshuang looked down upon these broken hairpins: "But you don't wear those hairpins."
Ji Yunxi: "It's okay, leave it there."
This is also money, which can be used in the future.
Why bother with money?
Once the money is in your pocket, it is real, no matter who gives it to you.
Ji Yunxi sat down, drank a sip of the hot tea that the maid had just brewed, and said, "Brother, I want to marry the eldest son of the Wu family."
"Cough cough cough cough cough..." Ji Mingshuang choked on a mouthful of tea.
Ji Mingxi also choked twice: "Ahem, ahem, this kid Guanshan, did you like him at first sight, Yunniang?"
Ji Yunxi glanced at Ji Mingshuang and said, "No, it's the other eldest son, Wu Weian."
Ji Mingxi put down the teacup: "?"
Why did it change?
He thought for a moment and said, "He was transferred from Pingjiang. He's the eldest son of Mr. Wu, the Deputy Minister of Works?"
Ji Yunxi: "Yes. I think he is very good."
Ji Mingshuang, who had recovered, sarcastically said, "What's good about it? Is it good to be timid and unable to speak clearly when meeting people? Is it good to be plain-looking? Is it good to be ignorant of the Four Books and Five Classics? Is it good to have a family elder who is just a small sixth-rank minister?"
Ji Yunxi reminded him, "Seventh Brother, you don't hold any official position right now."
Ji Mingshuang sneered, "Just wait and see what happens in next year's imperial examination. Besides, how old is Lord Wu this year? Can he compare to me? A small, shabby family like theirs, the Wu family, is so shabby, how can they be worthy of him?"
Ji Mingxi scolded: "Mingshuang, you can't despise the poor and love the rich."
Ji Yunxi agreed: "That's right."
Ji Mingshuang replied, "Brother, I, Ji Mingshuang, have never despised anyone from royal nobles to beggars and peddlers, and I have always treated them with sincerity. But when it comes to Ji San's marriage, I despise the poor and favor the rich! Besides, Wu Weian is really no good. You can tell at a glance, brother, he's a complete loser! I think our Tanghulu boy will be more successful than him in the future!"
Ji Yunxi pursed her lips, looked down at the shoes and said nothing.
She knew that Seventh Brother was doing this for her own good.
But Wu Weian really had a bright future.
Ji Mingxi pondered for a moment and advised, "Yunniang, your seventh brother has always had good judgment. Since he said that the young master of the Wu family is not good enough, he must have a point. So, tomorrow I will have Master Wu bring our young master to the mansion to meet him. Besides, the Wu family has only been in the capital for a few days and they need to settle everything. I don't think a marriage can be arranged so quickly. Good things take time, so there is no need to rush. Yunniang, what do you think?"
"Too slow." Ji Yunxi stood up. "I've asked the matchmaker to come over. We'll go to the Wu family to propose marriage soon."
Two brothers: “???”
After saying that, Ji Yunxi turned around and left quickly.
Ji Mingshuang was furious: "Ji San, stop right there!"
Ji Yunxi ran away.
Ji Mingshuang immediately chased after him.
Ji Mingxi listened to the quarrel between the brother and sister outside the house, sighed deeply, and decided to drink some tea to calm his nerves.
