Ji Mingshuang was speechless for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Last night was our wedding night. If Ji San and his brother-in-law had consummated their marriage..."
"Ah?" Ji Mingyan blinked, "They won't consummate their marriage."
Ji Mingshuang: “?”
Ji Mingyan patted his seventh brother's shoulder and said earnestly, "Mingshuang, I'm a few months older than you, and I'm more thoughtful than you. I told my brother-in-law a while ago, and he said he knew. I also told my third sister, and she also said she knew. So they won't consummate their marriage."
Ji Mingshuang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
So many things have been happening recently, one after another.
The Spring Examination, the Palace Examination, and then suddenly he had to serve in the Hanlin Academy. He didn't have a good rest and was always busy, so busy that his mind was a little confused.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Grand Secretary's servant came to call Ji Mingshuang again.
Ji Mingshuang didn't even have lunch and hurriedly followed him.
Ji Mingyan shook his head, returned to Wu Wei'an, and told his brother-in-law that Ji Mingshuang had been called away by the Grand Secretary again.
Wu Wei'an was still apprehensive: "Fortunately, I'm not the top scorer."
Ji Mingyan also agreed: "Fortunately, I am not one of them either."
It's so miserable.
Being the top scholar is really miserable.

Five days later, Editor Wu took a rest.
Early in the morning, he took his wife to the suburbs for an outing.
It was late April, the time between spring and summer. Looking out, the crops in the fields outside were as green as emerald green. Although the weather wasn't hot yet, the breeze already carried a hint of summer.
The majestic and powerful Arabian horses ran across the fields, getting farther and farther away from the capital, until there was no human habitation around, leaving only a winding official road.
There are many forks leading to the mountains beside the official road.
The round-faced steward skillfully set up the carriage and let the horses go up one of the lanes.
When we reached the middle of the mountain, the slope became steeper and we couldn't go up immediately.
Wu Weian came out of the carriage first, and then helped Ji Yunxi get off.
According to reliable information, a convoy from the Daqing Escort Agency will pass through here today and then return to Beijing to report.
Wu Weian had already made arrangements, so logically he and Ji Yunxi didn't have to make this trip at all. They could just wait for news at home.
But, just before going to bed last night.
Ji Yunxi sat in front of the dressing table, applying hand cream while asking, "Are you sure you'll be alright tomorrow?"
Wu Wei'an was sorting through the scrolls he had brought back from the Hanlin Academy when he replied nonchalantly, "What's the problem with robbing a convoy?"
"I'm just asking." Ji Yunxi's face was calm. "I don't want anything to go wrong."
Wu Wei'an: "Don't worry, Xuezhu will lead the team."
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "Xuezhu?"
Although Xuezhu likes it very much and sweeps the floor very cleanly, is it reliable?
Wu Weian understood the meaning behind her words and said with a smile: "Although Xuezhu has some problems, she will not let down at the critical moment."
Ji Yunxi said "oh" and said nothing more.
Just as she stood up, he casually asked, "Are you taking a day off tomorrow?"
Wu Wei'an: "Yes."
Ji Yunxi nodded and walked towards the bed.
Wu Weian, who was busy organizing books, suddenly paused. He raised his head with the book in his hand and watched her stop by the bed, take off her slippers, climb onto the bed, lift the quilt, lie down, and cover herself with the quilt.
Her movements were smooth and flowing, quite pleasing to the eye. However, she kept a stern expression throughout.
Although Ji Yunxi usually showed few expressions and her face was very pale, she looked no different from usual, yet there was something inexplicably different about her.
Wu Weian pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't I tell you before that I'd show you why Xuezhu spends all day sweeping the floor when I had the chance?"
Ji Yunxi, who had closed her eyes, opened them quickly and hummed, "It seems so."
Wu Wei'an laughed and said, "Tomorrow we're going on an outing in the countryside. Yunniang, do you want to go with me?"
Ji Yunxi: "Yes."
Then, early this morning, when it was still light and Wu Wei'an was still asleep, Ji Yunxi, who rarely got up early, opened her eyes, climbed out of bed quietly, and sat in front of the dressing mirror for an hour.
When Wu Weian got up yawning, Ji Yunxi had already finished packing. She was dressed in pearls, jade and silk, leaning leisurely on the beauty couch, flipping through the account book and waiting for him.
She was wearing a crescent-white Liuxian skirt today, with a red ribbon tied around her waist. The neckline was also embroidered with delicate and intricate patterns with red silk thread, which perfectly matched the red ribbon around her waist.
The skirt dragged on the ground, making it very inconvenient to walk on the steep mountains.
But Ji Yunxi was neither anxious nor annoyed. Her face was calm and she held up the hem of her skirt with one hand and climbed up at her own pace.
But climbing the mountain was indeed tiring. Ji Yunxi was not an active person, and she was out of breath after just a few steps.
Noticing the gaze of the person beside her, Ji Yunxi looked back and raised an eyebrow: "What's the matter?"
Wu Wei'an couldn't help but ask, "Why are you dressed so formally?"
Ji Yunxi asked back with a bit of pride: "No?"
"Okay." Wu Weian was defeated.
He sighed lightly and looked at the long road above. He felt that if his wife continued to climb down like this, by the time they reached their destination, the escort would have been snatched back and forth dozens of times.
He asked, "Shall I take you up there?"
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi stopped immediately: "Okay."
Wu Weian stretched out his hand, gently put his arm around Ji Yunxi's waist, and with a little force, lifted her up into the air. After a while, the two of them stood on the top of the mountain.
The view is wide all around, and you can basically see clearly everything happening on the official road below.
Because they were surrounded by bushes and branches, they could not be seen from below.
A group of men in black had already been lying in ambush all around, just waiting for the escort team to pass by.
Bored, Wu Wei'an chatted with his wife: "Why don't you learn some Qinggong?"
Wu Weian relied on his superb lightness skills to travel the world. Basically no one could stop him, and no danger could trap him.
Therefore, he has extremely high requirements for his subordinates' Qinggong, after all, good Qinggong means running fast. This is very important.
