You see, the New Year is coming soon, wouldn’t it be better to add joy to it?
If we can't become relatives, you can come to me and help me with things. I will ensure that you have a good life in Shangjing. That's fine too.
And so on.
Ji Qi was alert: "Ji San, why are you asking this? Did you listen to what we just said to you? Marriage is such a big deal, how can you..."
"I understand." Ji Yunxi's tone was no different from when she was reading the text. "Seventh Brother, I'll go with you to the Snow Feast."
It's useless to say.
Ji Qi was tired, covered his chest and didn't want to talk.
Ji Mingxi, as the eldest brother of the Ji family, was much more stable and open-minded. Instead, he was very supportive: "Okay, Yunniang, you can take a closer look, but remember not to rush into things. Marriage is a matter of fate. When fate arrives, it will come naturally. There's no point in rushing."
Ji Yunxi nodded in agreement. "By the way, brother, among the officials promoted this time, is there anyone with the surname Wu?"
"Wu?" Ji Mingxi thought for a moment, "This surname is very common. There are indeed two families like that."
Ji Qi, who was leaning against the couch next to him with a casual and relaxed posture, raised his eyebrows when he heard this and glanced at his sister in surprise: "Your vision is not bad this time."
Ji Yunxi: “?”
"I'm quite familiar with the Wu family." Ji Qi sat up straighter, "I know their eldest young master."
Ji Mingxi: "I have heard that Wu Guanshan, the eldest son of the Wu family, is a man of both civil and military talents. Even at a young age, he is highly respected by the people of Quanzhou and is even more famous than his father."
Ji Qi took a sip of tea and commented, "Compared to me, she's a little behind in poetry and song. Her martial arts skills are on par with mine, and she's quite good-looking, though certainly not as good as me. She has a good character, and will be a loving person in the future."
After hearing this, Ji Yunxi hummed and said, "Let's see."
Ji Mingxi thought it was a good idea and talked to his seventh brother in detail about Wu Guanshan's situation.
Ji Yunxi is not a talkative person.
She sat aside and listened, occasionally lost in thought.
After a while, Ji Yunxi whispered, "I miss my parents a little bit."
After these words were spoken, the two brothers paused.
The study fell silent and quiet.
Two elders of the Ji family died in a flood seven years ago.
When the incident happened, the children of the Ji family were heartbroken.
But natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot be prevented by human power.
How many people died in that flood?
As long as we are alive, we must live our lives.
But what if it wasn’t just a natural disaster?
Ever since she spent the past few days in Faen Temple, the plots from the book have suddenly appeared in her mind, and Ji Yunxi has studied them over and over again.
There was no mention of the cause of her parents' death.
In the entire book, the Ji family was just the fuse that ignited the dispute between the fifth prince and the crown prince at the beginning.
The cannon fodder couldn't be any grimmer, there was no need to explain the details at all.
But Ji Yunxi had a hunch that this matter might not be that simple.
Ji Mingxi sighed softly, stood up, walked over, and patted her shoulder: "Yun Niang, only when you are happy will your parents feel at ease."
"I know." Ji Yunxi took out a piece of paper from her side and handed it to her elder brother.
Ji Mingxi took it and asked, "What is this?"
"Oh, this is the list I asked Wanxiang and the others to compile. Over the past three years, I've converted all the cloth, silks, swords, seasonal fruits and vegetables, snacks, and other gifts I've given Yang Wei into silver." Ji Yunxi gently turned the gold and jade bracelet inlaid with beads on her wrist. The fine sapphire tourmaline shimmered slightly, making her skin look smooth as cream. "I'll have to trouble you, brother, to give it to Minister Yang of the Ministry of Rites after you leave court tomorrow. Ask them to send the silver to me within three days."
This Minister Yang is Yang Weitian’s father.
Ji Mingxi was speechless for a moment, scanning the entire page.
The two elders of the Ji family were stunningly beautiful when they were young, and all of their children were also extremely good-looking.
Although Ji Mingxi is not as attractive as Ji Yunxi and Ji Qi, his facial features are quite good.
Coupled with his gentle and compassionate nature, his face is as handsome as a jade, just like a son of Buddha.
"The Yang family has never been well-off. Once they spend this money, their lives will probably become more difficult." Ji Mingxi said.
Ji Yunxi remained unmoved: "Those things were for my future husband. Since he is no longer the Yang family, isn't it only natural that they should be returned to their original owners?"
Just kidding, since the project has been aborted, of course she has to spit out what she has taken.
Is it because she is doing charity to help the poor?
Ji Qi: "Ji San, I also gave Yang Weitian a horse. Did you remember that?"
Ji Yunxi: "? You didn't tell me when you gave it to me?"
Ji Qi said casually, "Last year."
Ji Yunxi was surprised: "Don't you hate him?"
Ji Qi: "You're right to hate him, but who made you blind? If I really thought you would get married, wouldn't he still be my brother-in-law?"
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes and said, "I'll make a note of this."
Ji Qi became excited and laughed twice: "I'll ask the housekeeper to come over."
Ji Yunxi thought about how lavishly her brothers spent their money and asked, "Did you give anything else?"
"No more." Ji Qi emphasized, "I really hate him."
"Okay." Ji Yunxi looked at Ji Mingxi, "Brother, what about you?"
Ji Mingxi didn't want to embarrass anyone: "Forget it."
"Brother." Ji Yunxi's voice softened.
Ji Mingxi collapsed instantly: "I gave away a few of my treasured paintings..."
Ji Yunxi: "Remember this."
Ji Mingxi: "But..."
Ji Yunxi: "Brother, I remember you told us before that we shouldn't take things that we shouldn't take, as it will easily lead to trouble. So, I am also helping the Yang family."
They are all fallacies, but if you think about it, there is some truth to them.
Ji Mingxi: "Yes, I also gave Minister Yang some beautiful calligraphy."
Ji Qi explained a few things to the housekeeper who came in, and then said, "By the way, Lao Liu also sent a lot of good wine. The others also sent a lot."
