Chapter 27 The Sinister Intentions of Capitalists
Long after Ji Yunxi and Ji Mingyan left, everyone in Dechang Casino was still in shock and could not calm down for a long time.
The Ji family is rich, and everyone in the capital knows it.
But no one expected that he could be so rich. The boxes of gold and silver that were moved deeply touched everyone's hearts.
What’s even more terrifying is that everyone knows that Ji Yunxi just returned to Shangjing City yesterday.
It took her less than two days to raise so much cash.
What's even more terrifying is that this money is not all of Ji Yunxi's wealth. She also has countless houses and fields under her name, and she hasn't touched the money in the pawnshop and auction house.
What Ji Yunxi moved was only her small treasury.
It was truly a lavish investment, and everyone couldn't help but think so.
"That Mr. Wu, is he really a learned man? Are we all underestimating him?"
Otherwise, how could Miss Ji be willing to spend so much money to bet on Wu Wei'an to win the first prize? If Wu Wei'an fails, all this money will be wasted.
"When the two families got engaged, everyone knew everything about the Wu family. The head of the Wu family was considered a good official, and the second son of the Wu family was said to have some knowledge. Only the eldest son of the Wu family was really not good enough. When he was in the Pingjiang private school, the eldest son's grades were always the last!" An insider said.
"But will the Ji family really allow the third young lady to act so recklessly?"
"You all know how much the Ji family's masters dote on the third young lady. Perhaps this amount of money is not too much for the Ji family, so just play around for the sake of face."
"That's not true. That's a huge sum of money, and none of the princes can come up with it..." someone asked quietly, "Although it's true that Young Master Wu's knowledge is poor, haven't you forgotten that the eldest brother of the Ji family is the Minister of Personnel? He knows all the questions for the Spring Examination..."
"you mean--"
"Exactly!"
"Shh, don't say that carelessly. You know how much the Ji family holds grudges. Stop talking!"
This matter caused a lot of uproar, and more and more people knew about it.
Ji Mingxi stayed in the Ministry of Personnel for a whole day and was ready to return home when it was almost dark.
The elder who had always been on good terms with him came over and asked, "Brother Mingxi, do you know what happened in your family?"
Ji Mingxi had just discussed the Spring Examination questions with a few senior scholars today. With a rough idea in hand, he was naturally in a good mood. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Ji Mingxi has never been too worried about his family.
Although his younger brothers and sisters have their own opinions, they actually do things in their own way and generally don't require him to worry about them.
Besides, is worrying useful? It may not be useful.
The friend said, "Your third sister took 50,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver to the Dechang Casino this afternoon."
Ji Mingxi: "Oh, you are talking about this matter. I already knew about it yesterday. Let her do what she wants."
other side:"???"
Is this a small amount of money?
He works hard all his life and still can't earn that much.
The adult was very tired, but looking at his friend who was so easy-going, he still reminded him a few words: "Brother Mingxi, you still have to take care of your younger siblings at home."
Ji Mingxi smiled, knowing that his friend had good intentions, and agreed: "I know, I'll take care of it."
The master added, "If you are too busy to manage everything, you can marry a good wife and let her take care of it for you."
Ji Mingxi said with a pleasant expression: "I know, I will keep an eye on it."
Adult: "Also, there are some bad rumors among the people, you should also pay attention to them."
Ji Mingxi's mind was already wandering, so he casually asked, "What rumor?"
The adult leaned in closer and whispered a few words, "You must be very careful when answering the Spring Examination questions. After all, your family members will be participating, and others will inevitably think too much and may even smear you."
Ji Mingxi nodded: "Don't worry, I know everything."
After Ji Mingxi returned, he took care of the matter, but his approach was completely different from what his friend had expected.
He first asked Ji Yunxi a few questions: "Did you go to Dechang Casino this afternoon?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Yes."
Ji Mingxi nodded: "Do you have any money on you?"
Ji Yunxi thought for a moment and shook her head: "No more."
She had pawned some of them, but in a few days, the pawnshop and the farm would send the money over, so it wasn't a big problem.
Ji Mingxi: "I have quite a bit. If you need money, just go to the warehouse and get it yourself."
Ji Yunxi didn't refuse: "Okay, thank you, brother."
Ji Mingyan quickly jumped out: "Brother, I have no money left either. I have also staked all my money!"
Ji Mingxi treated everyone equally: "If you want to use it, go get it yourself."
Ji Mingyan was happy: "Okay!"
Ji Mingxi then instructed Ji Mingshuang: "I'm preparing for the Spring Examination these days, so please be more cautious."
Ji Mingshuang nodded: "I know."
As for the issue of getting married, Ji Mingxi thought about it and wrote a letter to his second brother who was far away at the border, asking him if he had a beloved woman and when he planned to get married.
After writing, he gave the letter to his servant.
At this point, all the things that need to be taken care of have been taken care of, and all the things that need to be explained have been explained.
Ji Mingxi felt relaxed, drank an extra cup of tea, and copied more Buddhist scriptures.

Ji Yunxi returned to her courtyard: "Baofu, are you ready with the candies I asked you to prepare?"
Baofu nodded and took out the candy box: "Everything is prepared according to the lady's instructions! I tried it and it is very refreshing!"
Ji Yunxi nodded with satisfaction: "Take those books with you, and let's go to the Wu family."
Although the people of Dayu were open-minded, they did not impose many restrictions on women.
But generally no unmarried woman would go to a man's house at night, even if it was her fiancé.
Ji Yunxi is obviously not an ordinary woman. She always does whatever she wants.
She immediately asked her servants to fill a cart with books and bring some special candies, ready to go see her cash cow.
