Chapter 299: Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand the wrong person
Chapter 299 Sure enough, I didn’t see the wrong person
Ji Wanyou was surprised for a moment, came out of the pavilion, and walked towards the other party.
Seeing her coming, the young man slowly stopped and raised his hand to salute.
Ji Wan blessed her body, looked at the gentle-looking young man in front of him, and asked with some hesitation: "...Did you hear everything?"
He is not a weak scholar, she had seen him practice swordsmanship, and her father was a warrior, she knew that martial arts people usually have excellent hearing.
The young man's eyes were open and he didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "I accidentally heard a few words."
Ji Wanyou is a little bit apprehensive.
Even if he only heard a few words, Xia Xi’s ugliness had spread to a lot of people yesterday. He was so smart, how could he not guess the implications.
The man said in a calm tone: "These things, originally girl Ji didn't need to bother."
He guessed it...
Ji Wanyou explained: "I did this for you...and my father. I accidentally heard you talk with my father that day, so I wanted to share something for you."
Father is now facing Xia Tingzhen. Xia Tingzhen recruited the champion of the new division by marriage and consolidated the power of the DPRK and his reputation among scholars. This action was totally detrimental to her father.
So, if this marriage is unhappy, it is of course the best.
Of course, she is not only for her father.
is also for him.
If he hadn't been implicated by Xia Han's incident, he should have participated in Chunwei this year. According to his talent and insight, if he took the exam seriously, the new champion would be replaced.
The Xia family owed him too much, and she wanted to help him out.
But she did this secretly, does he...would he think that she was too scheming and acting too unobtrusive?
Ji Wanyou plucked up the courage to raise her eyes to look at the person in front of her, but saw that the distance between his brows and eyes was even lighter than before. At this time, she looked at her with a rare smile in her eyes.
"Ms. Ji is smart and decisive, she acts cautiously and cleanly. She is really rare among women." The young man's tone has a sense of appreciation that seems like nothing: "If Ms. Ji is a man, she must be able to help adults a lot."
Listening to this, Ji Wanyou quickly jumped a few times, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
She knew that he was different from those secular men. Only men who did not have the skills would make a contemptuous gesture towards women who were willing to use their brains.
She really... didn't see the wrong person.
"But there is a sentence below, I want to ask Miss Ji——"
"My son, but it's okay to ask."
"Ms. Ji and Miss Xu from the Guogong Mansion in the town, did she have a festival too?"
Ji Wanyou was taken aback for a while, then shook her head: "There is no such thing. On the contrary, I think this girl Xu has a straightforward temperament, and it is not comparable to Xia Xi's arrogant person--"
He wanted to ask, why did she choose to use Miss Xu to deal with Xia Xi?
"Just looking at this capital city, among the people who can suppress Xia Xi and irritate Xia Xi, only this girl Xu is the most suitable."
The simple and impulsive Xia Xi confronted Miss Xu, and most of them couldn't ask for anything good.
Especially the town government office has always protected shortcomings.
And even if the trouble was both sides, letting the government of the town government and the Xia family forge a beam, it would be beneficial to their Ji family without any harm.
These are almost on the bright side...
How could he not think of it?
I wanted to ask her this because...Is that girl Xu Jia?
It must be. Speaking of which, he was the disciple of the second master of the Xu family. He must have been in and out of the town government frequently. He should be very familiar with the Xu girl?
Thinking of the beauty of the Xu family's famous Jingshi, Ji Wanyou's heart is tight. She has no time to think too much in the future, and she has already said: "...The son and the Xu girl should have grown up with childhood sweethearts, right? So the son blamed me for taking advantage of it. Miss Xu, right?"
The man seemed to be startled slightly, and then he laughed silently, as if he had heard a very funny joke.
"How could it—"
His voice was calm and frank: “There is a difference between men and women. Although they are neighbors, they don’t communicate much-just ask casually.”
Ji Wanyou's tight heartstring relaxed.
She was about to say something more, only to hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching.
Wearing an official robe, it was obviously Ji Xiu who had just returned from the outside and came over with a servant.
"Father."
"grown ups."
Ji Wanyou and the man give salutes one after another.
Ji Xiu glanced at the two of them, and asked her daughter gently, "But are you enjoying the flowers?"
"The eldest girl from Zhou Shilang's house just came, and my daughter accompanied her to stroll around in the garden. It hasn't been long since people left." Ji Wanyou explained without a trace.
Ji Xiu nodded sharply, and said with a smile: "Father has something to discuss, and you should go back and rest."
Ji Wanyou answered "Yes" and left here with the maid.
After she left, Ji Xiu looked at the young man beside her with a meaningful expression in her eyes: "You know that my daughter is so outstanding, but why hasn't it been discussed yet?"
"I want to come to an adult to have a deep meaning, and this is an adult’s family affair, the younger generation dare not speculate."
"Because I only have this daughter, I don't worry about marrying her to anyone easily. Therefore, if anyone dares to attack Wan'er and want to use her, I have never been merciless." Ji Xiu seemed to point. Preaching.
The young man half-dipped his eyes: "The adult is full of love for the daughter, and it is moving-the younger generation has no other thoughts in his heart now, please rest assured."
There are some things that can’t be rushed.
Not even more so, it is too early to say-this sentence is reserved for Master Ji.
Ji Xiu looked at him, smiled, and said nothing.
After a while, he said: "Let’s go, walk with me."
The man casually followed Ji Xiu's side and said with a smile: "My lord seems to be in a good mood today."
"Hmm." Ji Xiu did not hide it from him: "The law of flood control in Huzhou that you proposed with me a few days ago was adopted by your majesty today."
Your Majesty praised him in front of Xia Tingzhen, and the old thief must have a sigh of relief in his heart.
"That's really congratulations, my lord." The young man always had a faint smile on his face.
The so-called flood control method is actually not a good strategy.
It’s just that the local people complain about this now, what the court must do—
The floods in the south of the Yangtze River are becoming more and more serious, especially the desolate water conservancy of the Huzhou government, and there are many silted areas. If you want to really improve, you must make a big change. But this is not only related to the interests of local wealthy businessmen and the collusion with officials. It is a huge project, and the manpower and material resources required are not what the current imperial court is willing to bear.
So, what to do is not important, but what your Majesty wants to do is the most important.
The strategy he offered is aimed at this point, saving money and effort, it can be said to be in the heart of your Majesty.
As for future troubles, that is not something he should consider.
The two were talking all the way, and their figures gradually disappeared behind Huamu.
Good evening everyone
