The Way of the Consort

The original magistrate of Guizhou was removed from his post and relegated to Dangzhi County in a remote Xiasan County.

Three days later, Guizhou Prefecture ushered in a new Zhizhou. Guangnan Road was originally the fiefdom of Zheng Wangfu, and there was no transfer envoy, and now Jingli has not appointed a transfer envoy. Anyway, Prince Zheng's mansion will return to Beijing with the son-in-law today.

Ji Zhao didn't want to care about these official affairs, and he didn't go to greet Xinzhizhou, let alone inquire, he just waited in the carriage, waiting for someone to come back so that he could leave immediately.

Xinzhizhou took office, and it was quite lively. The government office was nearby. Ji Zhao was lying in the carriage, and when he heard the commotion from outside, he finally remembered another important matter, the stampede accident!Looking back, with so many things happening in Guizhou, no one would dare to go out for a spring outing during this year's Huachao Festival, and it will be hard to say next year or the year after.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhao immediately jumped out of the carriage, called Yin Yu to accompany him, and the two quietly went to Zhizhou Yamen.

They went around to the back door, took out their badges, and entered the government office smoothly. After waiting for a while, the newly appointed Lord Zhizhou came. As soon as he came in, he was stunned when he saw Ji Zhao, and Ji Zhao and Yin Yu were also stunned. up.

The person who came was Wang Shouliang, the former magistrate of Jiangling Prefecture, that is, Wang Xi's father...

Ji Zhao was a little embarrassed, but it was Wang Shouliang who had been in the officialdom for many years. He smiled and walked up to Ji Zhao, and saluted Ji Zhao, "My concubine!" Then he cheerfully said to Yin Yu, "Brother Citron is here too."

"Lord Wang!" Brother Citron saluted.

Wang Shouliang made an invitation gesture and told them to sit down. Ji Zhao came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, let me just say something. We will leave for Jinling later."

"You say it, you say it!"

"Master Wang, during the Flower Festival in the future, you must be careful of wild boars in the forest, and be careful not to gather too many people!"

Wang Shouliang was taken aback for another moment, and couldn't help asking: "Why does the son-in-law say that? Is there any reason for it?"

Ji Zhao then nonsense: "This year's Shangyuan Festival, there was a stampede accident in Beijing, which injured several people. When I came back to Guizhou, I made a few divinations when I was free on the road. Guizhou might be in danger of being trampled, especially during the Flower Festival. , come and speak to the adults."

Wang Shouliang believed in Ji Zhao's abilities. Even though he was a reader of sage books, he couldn't disbelieve in these things. What's more, his new official appointment was the result of a multi-party game. There will still be a transfer envoy on Guangnan Road in the future. If he knows that Zhou has done a good job, he will take the seat of the transfer envoy, so he must be cautious.

He thanked: "Thank you for letting me know, I will definitely be more careful!"

Ji Zhao felt relieved, and left with Yin Yu without staying any longer.

Wang Shouliang sent them to the gate of the backyard and watched them leave, still sighing in his heart, this should be his son-in-law.

But—thinking about the future, Wang Shouliang felt that he was not at a loss!

As soon as Ji Zhao and Yin Yu came out of the back door of the yamen, they heard light and hasty footsteps behind them. He looked back and saw Wang Xi running after him with her skirt in hand. He immediately started to have a headache, and Yin Yu stepped aside. Standing at the entrance of the alley and watching for him.

Wang Xi didn't cry this time, but looked at Ji Zhao with surprise on his face, and said happily, "I know brother Zhao is also in Guizhou, but I didn't expect to meet him! Brother Zhao, are you here to find me?"

"I'm here to talk to Mr. Wang about some business..."

"Oh..." Wang Xi's face was filled with disappointment for a moment, and then he stretched out his hand, disappointment turned into anticipation, "Brother Zhao, the purse I embroidered with my own hands is for you!"

Ji Zhao looked down at the exquisite lake-blue purse, and said embarrassedly, "Please forgive me for not accepting it."

"..." Wang Xi said "ah", slowly lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm the one who was rude, I'm sorry."

"no no……"

"I'm sorry..." Wang Xi quickly saluted him, then turned and ran away.

Ji Zhao pointed at Yin Yu: "No conscience!"

Yin Yu smiled "hee hee", and put his arms around his shoulders: "Uncle, have you talked to Wang Qiniang?"

"I said it earlier..."

"Unfortunately, Wang Qiniang, alas."

Ji Zhao knocked him on the head: "Children, what do you know about "a pity"! "

Yin Yu was two years younger than him, and he was not convinced: "My mother also promised me a kiss, why don't I understand? I..."

The two walked back chatting and laughing. Zong Mi's bodyguard, who had planned to visit Xinzhizhou, saw this, and immediately went back and told Zong Mi about it.

At this point, Ji Zhao was finally able to return to Jinling.

When he came out in early February, Ji Zhaozhen didn't expect that he could stay for more than two months at a time, and it would be May when he returned to Jinling. Yin Yu said, "It's just right, go back and watch dragon boat rowing and eat zongzi! How wonderful!"

"You just remember to eat!"

Prince Zheng's Mansion said that he would go back with them, but there were too many of them and they walked too slowly. Ji Zhao couldn't wait any longer, and he wanted to go back for the Dragon Boat Festival.He took Yin Yu and the others to go first, and walked quickly, to Jiangling, played for two days, and then returned to Jinling with the Yin family.

Returning home is like an arrow, on the way back, it is even more difficult than when I came.

Ji Zhao didn't expect that, before he knew it, the mansion called Pingyanghoufu in Jinling City had been regarded by him as his home.

On the way back, as long as he could find time, he would hurry up and write a letter to "Brother Huishang". Ji Zhao felt that Brother Huishang was the best.

Only Brother Huishang had no purpose. In order to save him from falling into the water, he even found fireworks for him, chased him to the posthouse, and watched the fireworks with him.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this friendship was precious, and the more "missing you" appeared when he wrote the letter.

Zongzhen saw Ji Zhao's mood getting better day by day with his own eyes, until Ji Zhao happily told him: I have arrived in Luzhou!Home in a few days!Brother, are you free in those few days, will you come to Jinling to play with me? !

He knew that Ji Zhao should be extremely happy.

Because he counted and the letter has not been read yet, Ji Zhao has already written "I miss you" ten times and "I miss you so much" eight times.

He continued to look down, and Ji Zhao also wrote: I still have a box of fireworks, let's watch together!

Zong Zhen pursed his lips, clasped his hands to support his chin, and looked up out of the window with a faint smile on his lips.

At the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When he received the letter from Ji Zhao saying that he was sad, Zongzhen suffered from insomnia all night, and his whole heart seemed to be dragged into the bitter lake, sinking into it, so heavy that he could never get it out again.

Especially that sentence, he doesn't want to be a son-in-law.

Zongzhen had to think about his previous life, wouldn't it be that if Ji Zhao hadn't been a son-in-law from the beginning, wouldn't there be the grief, helplessness and despair that followed?

It's a pity, whether it's this life or the previous life, this fact can't be changed.

Zong Zhen sighed.

As long as Ji Zhao can be happy, let him be so happy.

After all, in this life, he was the one who framed Ji Zhao time and time again.

Let’s just say this time, the person who went to read out the imperial decree and announced the demotion was Ji Zhao. In the future, whenever people in Prince Zheng’s residence think of this day, they will be the first to think of Ji Zhao. No one can face this humiliation calmly.The world will always remember this point. If he is still destined to die in this life, Ji Zhao will encounter more obstacles if he wants to ascend the throne.

When Ji Zhao came back, he did not go on the same journey with Prince Zheng's residence, did he have any quarrels?Will she never become one with Zong Mi like in her previous life?

Thinking of this, Zong Zhen felt a little relieved.

He took out the paper and wrote back to Ji Zhao, asking him what he would like to do when he returns to Jinling.

Ji Zhao was getting closer and closer to Jinling at this time, so he sent the letter quickly, and he would receive it soon.

After passing through Luzhou, they stopped at the post house to rest at night. When they came back this time, there were too many people, and the whole family entered the post house one after another. Grandmother had to see him all the time, otherwise she would not be at ease.He helped Mrs. Yin into the gate of the posthouse, and the postman immediately came over and told him that there was a letter.

His eyes lit up "swish", and he reached for the letter, turned his head and smiled at the old lady: "Grandma, I want to read the letter first!"

Mrs. Yin patted his hand lovingly: "Go! Go!"

Ji Zhao grabbed the letter and ran away. Mrs. Yin immediately called Mother Wei, and asked expectantly, "Do you know whose letter it is, the princess?"

Mother Wei explained: "No, it's probably a Huizhou businessman who saved Brother Zhao's life, he..."

Not a princess, Mrs. Yin was a little disappointed, but after hearing about this person's deeds, Mrs. Yin kept feeling that he was a good person, worthy of a deep friendship, she must meet, and said that she would give a generous gift and so on.

This is Zongzhen's second reply to Ji Zhao's letter. When he opened it up, it was still concise and just one sentence.

When he saw that question, what did he want to do when he returned to Jinling?What I want to do most is to go to the village on the mountain and never go down the mountain again. It is best not to see the prince again, but of course I can't tell the other party about this.

Ji Zhao took a pen and started to write what he wanted to do when he went back, but he wrote densely on a piece of paper in a short while.

He thought, returning to Jinling happened to be passing through Huizhou, or he just went around to Huizhou to find that brother to play?He wrote everything on paper, and after sealing it, he immediately asked someone to send it out again.

In the next few days, he had passed through Huizhou and had not received any reply from the other party. Ji Zhao was a little bit out of interest. He really wanted to go to Huizhou to have fun.

Most people are like this, because falling in love with a city is never a simple talk.

He thinks Huishang's elder brother is a good person, and he thinks they are good friends, so he is full of longing and expectation for Huizhou.

Did Huizhou pass him by? On the night they approached Jinling, they stayed in the post house again. He could survive, but his grandfather and grandmother couldn't, and the old man still had to rest at night.

Ji Zhao talked with his grandmother for a long time. After his grandmother rested, he went back to his room and was looking for books in the bookcase. Before going to bed, he had a look when he heard a small stone hitting the window. Chen Xing, who was looking for books, turned around warily, but Ji Zhao didn't pay much attention and continued to look for books.

Then another small stone hit, and Ji Zhao also looked back.

Chen Xing frowned: "Lang Jun, I'll go out and ask a few people to take a look!"

"Could it be some small animal? It's hungry and wants to eat?" Ji Zhao thought better, he always likes to think about things for the better.

Chen Xing was worried, and turned around to ask someone to come in, "Wait..." Ji Zhao had already walked to the window, but there was no movement outside the window. Ji Zhao took a closer look, only to see a picture from far and near gradually appeared on the window. Chen Xing also saw the figure, and was about to call someone, when Ji Zhao quickly pushed the window open, and the people outside looked up at him.

After Ji Zhao was shocked, he smiled happily.
