Logically speaking, even if he failed the Spring Examination, he was still a juren, and he might be able to find a job in the government if he returned to his hometown.
However, Fang Yuan couldn't go back, nor would he go back. Now that he had such a good opportunity, he would never leave Shangjing City even if he died.
Ji Yunxi nodded and said nothing more. She took the remaining seven new managers who were recruited from various places to other gambling houses.
She hadn't considered personally managing the Feng family's spies. She was truly wealthy, so why would she bother with all that? Wouldn't she be better off just paying someone to run the gambling den for her?
Watching Ji Yunxi leave, Master Ye was so angry that his beard stood up high. He was about to chase after her to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, and picked at his nails. "The Third Miss said, I have the final say here. If you have something to ask me, don't go over me and ask the Third Miss, understand? The Third Miss is very busy, how can she pay attention to you? Look at yourselves, do you deserve the Third Miss to pay attention to you?"
-
After visiting eight gambling houses, Ji Yunxi returned home at dusk, even later than her brothers. Everyone was waiting for her to have dinner.
The palace examination is now in charge of Censor Feng. Ji Mingxi rarely has a few days of free time. He has been concerned about his younger brothers and sisters since he was a child.
He sat at the main seat with a cup of tea and asked his sister, "Yun Niang, is everything going well?"
Ji Yunxi nodded and smiled: "It went quite smoothly."
"That's good." Ji Mingxi nodded. After asking his sister, he looked at his younger brothers.
Ji Ming, the top scorer in the high school entrance exam, had been attending various banquets these days. He had many friends, so naturally, he attended many such events, and he hadn't eaten at home in several days.
Ji Mingxi instructed, "Mingshuang, don't be proud."
Ji Mingshuang replied, "Don't worry, big brother. I know."
The seventh brother is actually the most reassuring child in the family. Ji Mingxi said nothing more and looked at the sixth brother.
Ji Mingyan lay down on the table, stuffing white rice into his mouth with a listless look, looking completely out of energy.
Ji Mingxi asked, "Mingyan, are you feeling unwell?"
But it is impossible for Ji Mingyan to feel uncomfortable.
He is good at poison, and over the years he has also learned good medical skills for the safety of his brothers and sisters.
He was in excellent health and had never even caught a cold. Only his eldest brother was worried about him getting sick.
Ji Mingyan shook his head: "No."
Ji Mingxi's face was filled with worry. "I'll go find the Crown Prince and ask the imperial physician to check you out. I'm sure you've caught a cold."
Ji Mingyan continued to shake his head: "No need."
Ji Mingshuang couldn't stand it any longer, so he reached out and grabbed a chicken drumstick and threw it into Ji Mingyan's bowl. Then he said to Ji Mingxi, "Brother, Ji Mingyan is fine. It's just that his new poison hasn't been successful, so he's not in the mood."
Ji Mingxi said "oh", drank a sip of tea and started eating.
Ji Mingyan began to gnaw on the chicken leg mechanically, his eyes dull and lifeless.
Ji Yunxi was sitting on the other side of Ji Mingyan. Seeing this, she threw a few green leaves into his bowl and said, "By the way, I have something else to ask."
Ji Mingxi and Ji Mingshuang looked at her together, and Ji Mingyan turned his head a little slowly, holding a vegetable leaf in his mouth.
Ji Yunxi held the bowl in her left hand and the chopsticks in her right hand, and casually announced the bombshell: "On the 18th of next month, I'm getting married to An Lang."
The three brothers of the Ji family nodded when they heard this, without much reaction. They all turned around and continued to eat their meal.
However, the next moment, when they realized what Ji Yunxi meant -
Ji Mingxi kept picking up the eggplant and put it into his mouth with his mouth wide open.
Ji Mingshuang was choked by the food in his mouth. He quickly covered his mouth with one hand, stood up and left the table, ran outside quickly, and then spit it out.
The chicken leg with a hole in it in Ji Mingyan's hand fell directly onto the table, and the green leaves in his mouth were sprayed far away.
Ji Yunxi looked at the green leaves on the table, frowned, and called out with some disdain, "Sixth Brother."
"Third sister!!" Ji Mingyan wiped his mouth and sat up in shock. "Are you finally going to marry your brother-in-law?! After you get married, will your brother-in-law and his family move into our Ji family? Then I can nourish him every day and see Sister Du every day!! My new poison has been unsuccessful recently, and I wanted Sister Du to come to the mansion to help, but she refused to come. She said she is a cook, and it is not appropriate for her to come to the Ji Mansion to see me, otherwise people will notice something unusual!"
Ji Yunxi shook her head: "Probably not."
She and Wu Weian had a normal marriage, not having him marry into the family.
It would certainly be nice to move into the Ji family, but Wu Weian would not agree, and Ji Yunxi would not make this request.
Ji Mingyan sighed with regret, but he immediately said, "After you get married, can I move to the Wu family with you?"
Ji Yunxi: “?”
Ji Mingxi: “???”
Ji Mingshuang came back after vomiting: "???"
He patted Ji Mingyan on the back and said coldly: "Of course not!"
Ji Mingyan was furious: "Why not?!"
Ji Mingshuang: "No, eat your chicken leg."
Ji Mingyan glanced at Ji Yunxi and his elder brother's expressions and said, "Okay."
It seems that it really doesn't work.
Ji Yunxi said, "I'll ask An Lang to buy a new house near the Ji Mansion in the next few days."
Ji Mingyan's eyes lit up again: "This is good!!"
Ji Mingxi put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Yun Niang, but isn't this date a little too hasty?"
Ji Yunxi: "I think it's okay."
Ji Mingshuang: "How can it be okay? It's not even a month yet, and you have to prepare wedding clothes, prepare the banquet, and draw up a guest list. There are so many things to prepare!"
Ji Mingxi nodded: "Mingshuang is right, can't it be delayed for a few more months?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head: "Let's do it on the 18th of next month. It's better to get married early so that there won't be any more trouble."
