Wearing books: relying on family wealth to start a decadent career

Ji Hualin suddenly felt a chill on his body. He glanced at Ming Huaying sadly. At first he thought this woman was unusual.

Now I think there is no difference between this man and Ji Huatao.

After being punched by Ji Huatao for a while, he was ready to leave. I'm afraid he didn't know what would happen if he stayed any longer.

Ji Jingyuan blocked his way and bowed to Ming Huaying: "I am A Tao's cousin. Thank you for taking care of A Tao."

Ming Huaying stood up and responded: "It's okay, you're welcome."

"Ah Ying, you don't know how lively my house is today." Ji Huatao pulled her over and waved Xiaofeng over, deliberately ignoring the remaining two people.

He said in a very exaggerated tone: "That sister of mine is so courageous. Even though the Sheng family is like this, she still wants to marry her."

"I really didn't expect that she could like someone so much."

"Why do you say that?" Xiaofeng was confused.

Ji Huatao cleared her throat and ignored Ji Hualin's eyes: "You don't know, my mother has introduced her to many families. Not to mention that these people are all handsome, and there are quite a few who are equally knowledgeable and good-looking, but she doesn't know any of them." I don’t like it.”

"My mother has been worried about her marriage for a long time. But she has fallen in love with Sheng Shuwen. Why didn't I see how attractive he is?"

"Maybe, it's more eye-catching?" Xiaofeng frowned and thought about the words.

"Have you ever had a close eye?" Ji Huatao asked curiously. When Xiaofeng glanced behind her, she realized that there were two unknown people.

He immediately leaned in front of them and said, "We'll talk about it tonight."

Pedestrians were walking around on the street, and vendors were guarding their stalls on the roadside. They were thankful that it was not so sunny today and they sold more things.

There was an empty space outside Mingxin Mansion, and those who had gathered at the notice board had already dispersed.

A government officer stood in front of the cell, took out a sign and went in to change the guard.

As soon as he stood in his position, there was a sound of banging on the door behind him, mixed with shouts of dissatisfaction.

His ears were almost deafened by the shouting. He turned around and stopped him: "Mr. Sheng, since you have come in, you need to be more honest. If the government knows about it, it will be another crime."

Sheng Shucheng kicked the iron door hard and stared at him: "Is my father here?"

The yamen servant didn't want to talk to him anymore and turned around as if he hadn't heard.

As mentioned above, the Lord was very angry when he found out about Sheng Shucheng's crime. If he was given a lighter punishment, then Mingxin Mansion would be the one to be severely punished.

Therefore, the government should repeatedly warn them not to talk to him or promise him anything.

He endured the discomfort in his ears and walked a little further. Fortunately, Sheng Shucheng stopped shouting when he got tired.

Sheng Shucheng didn't believe that his father would ignore him like this. Although he was anxious, he had no other choice but to wait quietly.

The Sheng family is now full of anxiety.

The servants were not interested in working, they were just concentrating on their own tasks and talking to others.

A quarter of an hour ago, Sheng Zhenyan was called away.

When he recognized that the person was the lord's entourage, his heart was pounding. He was not sure of his lord's temper and whether he would be angry with the Sheng family.

Mrs. Sheng helped him change his clothes. When he was tying his belt, Mrs. Sheng stopped.

She thought about it all night, thinking about everything carefully. Maybe there was no way out and she wouldn't be in a miserable situation in the end.

Sheng Zhenyan lowered his head slightly and followed his entourage to the palace gate, waiting for the announcement.

After a long time, when he was almost unable to stand, he was finally allowed in. He felt like he was floating step by step, and he didn't know how to stand firm enough to reach the Lord.

He saw the Lord sitting in front of the desk and reading books. He kowtowed to him but received no response.

Beads of sweat flowed down his forehead and onto the carpet, leaving dark traces.

When his neck was so sore that he couldn't feel anything, he heard the Lord calling him coldly to get up.

He knew that his discipline was inappropriate and he did not dare to intercede.

He waited for a long time and heard the Lord asking his family to leave Tancheng. As for Sheng Shucheng, it was already a capital crime.

Sheng Zhenyan was not surprised when he got this result. He kowtowed and thanked him without getting up. He gritted his teeth and said what his wife told him before leaving:

"My lord, the youngest in the family got engaged a few days ago, can you let them get married?"

The sound of turning pages was gone.

The Lord sitting there seemed not to have thought that the Sheng family would have other thoughts at this stage.

He threw the book on the table and ordered people to take Sheng Zhenyan down.

"Then?"

In the Jie Xi Pavilion, people gathered around Xu Suiran to listen to him talk about what was going on outside.

Xu Suiran glanced at a few people, and his eyes fell on Ming Huaying's eyes. He smiled softly and continued: "Then the Lord went up and asked the Ji family if they were willing."

Ji Huatao answered first: "What can I do if I don't want to? Can the family tolerate that person's troubles?"

Xu Suiran shook his head: "Miss Ji made a mistake this time."

The Lord originally wanted to make the decision for the Ji family, but then he thought about it and asked the Ji family what they thought.

He sent someone to inquire about Ji's house, and the person they brought back was Master Ji, who came alone.

He looked tired, and after greeting the Lord, he expressed his thoughts.

Although Ji Huayan was unwilling at home, he still did not want to have anything to do with the Sheng family.

The Lord was relieved after getting the answer. After inviting the person away, he asked someone to bring a message to the Sheng family.

Ji Huatao covered his mouth and was quite surprised: "He can actually tolerate Ji Huayan's fuss."

Once Ji Huayan's request is rejected, not everyone can bear the consequences.

Ji Huatao was lucky enough to experience it once.

It was a good day and they were flying kites together. Who would have thought that Ji Huayan would grab her right away after taking a liking to her.

Ji Huayan was so embarrassed after being rejected that she got angry and broke everyone's paper kites on the spot.

According to her, since she is unhappy, she will drag others along with her to be unhappy.

Ji Huatao had a hunch that even though the Ji family was calm now, there might be something big going on behind the scenes.

After living in the Ji family for so many years, I have already understood everything inside and out.

Since Mr. Ji was called away by his master, the Ji family has been in a panic.

Mrs. Ji was afraid that the matter had something to do with the Sheng family, so she ordered the servants who knew about the matter not to talk to Ji Huayan.

She waited and waited at home until Master Ji slowly returned in the evening.

She couldn't sleep well or eat well these days, and she was so anxious that she got angry.

Seeing Mr. Ji's slow steps now, she wished she could drag him over and ask him for details.

Seeing someone coming in, she looked outside and closed the door.

"How is it? Is it related to that company?"

Mrs. Ji asked anxiously, and her heart was in her throat when she got the answer.

After hearing from Mr. Ji that the marriage to the Sheng family was over, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been saved for the rest of her life.

Caressing his chest and exhaling slowly, he bowed to some god at the other side of the window. His expression changed when he saw the shadow on the window.

She approached the window calmly, and when she reached the window, she pushed it open.

There was nothing outside except a few pots of flowers and a peach tree.

Master Ji saw her actions and muttered dissatisfiedly: "She's been suspicious all day long."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Ji stopped caring about what was going on outside and immediately started quarreling with the other party.

The shadows of the trees outside were swaying, and a few leaves seemed to be falling.
