Tang Xianya looked at her daughter, her eyes were full of love and compassion. The whole family only had this precious daughter, who looked the most like Ji Pingnan, especially with her round eyes.

Now she is eccentric and looks very cute. She will protect them well and no one can hurt them!

Three days later, when Xiang Xi was about to forget Ji Pingnan's letter, Ji Peng came back in a hurry.

None of the recruits guarding the gate knew the old man, but a few veterans did.

"Butler Ji!" Someone shouted in surprise.

"Hehe, it's Xiao Wang." Ji Peng said with a smile.

"You still remember me, why haven't I come back for so long, hurry up, sit inside, I'll call you the young marshal." After finishing speaking, the veteran turned around and ran away, leaving the recruit confused.

But just listening to the three words Captain Wang yelled just now, they already understood the identity of the person in front of them.

"Come, come, please come inside first." The recruit immediately stepped forward to support Ji Peng.

Once inside, the one next to him let go of his hand, ran in quickly, and shouted, "Mr. Xiang."

Ji Peng was surprised, and frowned slightly, "Is anyone new to the Governor's Mansion?"

When the recruit heard this, he smiled knowingly, helped him to sit in the reception hall, and then said with a smile, "Yes, the young marshal has found a capable officer who is in charge of finance."

When the words fell, Xiang Xi had already followed the person who sent the message out just now, Steward Ji, I didn't hear Ji Xiuyuan mention it.

Once inside, Ji Peng saw Xiang Xi, his cloudy pupils shrank slightly, and then he heard the recruit next to him say, "Mr. Xiang, this is Steward Ji. Our captain is looking for the young commander, and he will be back in a while."

Ji Peng was shocked. Is this Chief Financial Officer a young girl?

Xiang Xi was also confused when he saw the other party, but when he heard that Wang Hai had all gone to find Ji Xiuyuan, he knew it was right.

"Hurry up and serve tea. What does Butler Ji like to drink? We have Longjing, Dahongpao and Tieguanyin."

Ji Peng felt very strange. For decades, he had always been the one to entertain others in Ji's family, but he didn't expect to be entertained by others today?

He didn't say anything else, just said lightly, "Dahongpao."

Needless to say, Xiang Xi, Xiaobing immediately turned around and went to soak up.

When the tea was served, Xiang Xi hadn't spoken yet, but Ji Xiuyuan was already walking quickly.

When Steward Ji heard the sound of footsteps, he stood up excitedly, and walked to the door vigorously, just in time to see Ji Xiuyuan approaching him.

"Third Young Master..." He said in a trembling voice.

Ji Xiuyuan was also quite excited, and supported the opponent's arm with both hands, "Uncle Ji."

Xiang Xi looked at this, and there was nothing he didn't understand. After the two met excitedly, they sat in the reception room.

Ji Xiuyuan said, "Why are you back?"

Ji Peng wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes just now.

He looked at Xiang Xi, and Ji Xiuyuan came to his senses, and immediately waved, "Xiang Xi, this is Uncle Ji, who watched me grow up."

Xiang Xi came over politely and bowed, "Hello, Uncle Ji."

He nodded and said nothing.

Ji Xiuyuan glanced at Xiang Xi, she immediately understood the meaning, and walked out.

Seeing that Xiang Xi had left, Ji Peng was slightly satisfied.

"Third Young Master, is your chief financial officer this girl?" Ji Peng asked aloud.

Ji Xiuyuan nodded, "Yes, Xiang Xi is very capable, and will be the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life."

When Ji Peng heard this, his eyes widened uncontrollably.

But after thinking about it, he didn't say anything. The third young master had big ideas since he was a child. After all, he was just a housekeeper, not a real elder.

"Uncle Ji, why are you back this time?" Ji Xiuyuan asked.

It is said that when Ji Pingnan left, he didn't want to take Ji Peng with him, but later he changed his mind, and now he came back suddenly, which is also very strange.

Speaking of this, a look of embarrassment appeared on Ji Peng's face.

When Ji Xiuyuan saw it, he seemed to understand a little bit in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and was still waiting for his answer.

"It's your father. He asked me to come back this time and tell you something." Ji Peng stared at the teacup in his hand, really not knowing how to say this.

Ji Xiuyuan knew about his father, so he just said, "Uncle Ji, just say it."

Seeing this, Ji Peng didn't hide anything, and sighed, "Your eldest brother is married to Lu Hongwen's youngest daughter, and your second brother is also engaged. The woman is the governor of the navy and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family."

After he finished speaking, he paused.

Ji Xiuyuan smiled, "Hehe, it's a good thing for the eldest brother and the second brother to get married. These are all prominent families, but I haven't heard that our Ji family is going to get married."

Ji Peng glanced at him speechlessly, but didn't say anything. This is actually a marriage.

"Uncle Ji, tell me, what exactly do you want? I will be a younger brother, and my older brother will get married. It won't make sense if I don't give him some money."

Ji Peng sighed deeply again.

"If you want Hepu and Huaiding, Dong'an will give it to you, saying that the three of you have split up."

Ji Xiuyuan knew that the man called father was very greedy, but he didn't expect such shameless greed.

Suizhou dared to ask for two provinces as soon as he opened his mouth, isn't he afraid to hold on?

"It's just that the word has spread, and the master is also confused. Ever since I was with that woman from the Tang family, this pocket has leaked, and I can't save anything." Ji Peng has no way to say these words, and he just faces it now. Ji Xiuyuan dared to say such a sentence or two.

Apart from the initial surprise, Ji Xiuyuan was not surprised at all.

He said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I remember that when my father left, all the money was taken away, and even the antique bottle was not left for me. Logically speaking, the dowry of the eldest brother and the second brother would not be unaffordable." ah?"

Ji Peng smiled wryly, "Haicheng is prosperous, it is a gold-selling cave, food, clothing, housing and play, none of them are imported, and the master and the others have no one to do business, so they call slaves, only enter If it doesn’t come out, it’s definitely not covered.”

Ji Xiuyuan was even more amused when he heard it, "Then I'm surprised, it's just like this, how did you discuss marriage?"

Ji Peng glanced at Ji Xiuyuan, "Third Young Master knows all about it, so do you still need my old man to say it?"

He shook his head, "No, Uncle Ji, you must explain it to me."

Seeing him like this, Ji Peng sighed, "It's not because of the fat of Suizhou. Since you unified Suizhou, the threshold of the Ji family in Haicheng has been stepped down by the people who sent the post. Now outside, three Without your name, it has reached a level that you can't imagine."

Ji Xiuyuan was quite surprised when he heard him say that. He was busy during this time and didn't care about these things.

"But third young master, I, Lao Ji, will tell you something from my heart. It is not easy to secure these family properties. The master can't keep the family property. The eldest and second young masters look good, but in troubled times, they don't have the ability to compete with others. After getting it in Suizhou, it's a child holding gold ingots and can't keep them, these are yours in the first place, so keep them well." Ji Peng said with all his heart.
