Ji Man felt melancholy, what does it mean not to teach? She also plans to teach children's songs to sing well today.
After changing his clothes, he went to Beiyuan, but when he got to the door, he was stopped by someone, saying that Lord Hou was seeing a guest.
Hold on to all the guests and don't let go? Who is it! Ji Man stood at the door and smiled at Gui Baigan for a long time, and took the opportunity to look into the main house.
There seemed to be a vague voice, and some words such as "Congratulations, Congratulations" and "I will be there". Helpless, she is the eldest son, and she can't compete with Ning Yuxuan. If he doesn't teach him, she should rest.
Now that Miss Zhu was promised to get married, preparations for the marriage naturally had to start. Regarding the issue of dowry, Ji Man has already thought about it. According to the rules here, it will probably cost a few hundred taels of silver to buy some decent dowry, and then just invite a matchmaker to come to the door. Zhu Shilang was too late to marry his daughter, so naturally he wouldn't care too much about her.
Walking down the street, the east family ordered red silk, and the west family ordered a few jars of fine wine. With a very complicated mood, Ji Man prepared most of the things, and went to Zhu's house again to discuss the wedding date and specific details.
Zhu Shilang smiled happily, and Ji Man solved a big problem for him. Although it was a little wronged to marry his daughter off casually, it was a great blessing to have someone willing to marry her.
Mrs. Ji seems to be an honest man, and I heard that his family is well-off. If I help him open two paths, his future will be bright, and his daughter will not suffer. Thinking of this, Zhu Shuyou smiled and talked to Ji Man a lot, and finally took her to the food store.
The business of Ji's Grain Shop is not bad, but it is the business of ordinary people, the shop is not big, although there are one each in the east, west, north and south, but each is only two storefronts in size.
The servant of the household department went out in a low-clothes, took some cronies, and went to the four grain stores of the Ji family to give advice. Someone next to him kept memorizing with a pen and paper. After walking around, Ji Man and his party bumped into the shopkeeper of Liu Jiliang.
With the reelection imminent, shopkeeper Liu put all his energy into it, and paid a lot of money to invite Mr. Tang out to eat and drink. As soon as this car came out of the Luoyan Pagoda, it bumped into Ji Man.
Ji Man bowed politely and said, "Master Tang."
Manager Tang still had a good impression of this man, and he nodded his head as a greeting, and was about to continue to visit the jade shop in front with Shopkeeper Liu, when he saw the sedan chair next to Ji Man slightly lift the curtain.
His complexion changed slightly, Master Tang stepped forward and bowed to the sedan chair, without calling out his name, he just made a big salute.
Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted. How could this person who had to bow to Master Tang be with Master Ji
"No, I'm just going out for a walk with Master Ji." Zhu Shilang glanced at Mr. Tang: "You go first."
Director Tang looked at Ji Man with a smile on his face, and said, "Master Ji is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men."
"Thanks to Mr. Tang's promotion." Ji Man smiled and said politely.
Shopkeeper Liu's face was not very good-looking. Fortunately, there were few people standing in the middle of the road. Ji Man followed the sedan chair, and Master Tang continued to walk in front of him.
"The next league meeting you said is not in a hurry." Director Tang changed his tone just now, and said with a smile: "There is still one month, and you have enough qualifications, so don't worry too much."
Shopkeeper Liu complied reluctantly with a smile.
Zhu Shilang said that it is enough to prepare for the marriage recently, and Ji Man doesn't have to worry about the food business. Ji Man thanked him, and was taken to see Zhu Yurun by the maid.
Zhu Yurun's yard has already begun to prepare for posting happy characters and pulling red silk. She seemed to have gained a lot of weight, she sat round the table and said, "Brother Man, come over here and see how my Xipa is embroidered?"
Ji Man automatically ignored her address, and walked over to see a red handkerchief with a strange duck embroidered on it.
"Donald Duck?" Ji Man's mouth twitched.
"...What duck?" Miss Zhu was upset, she pouted and said, "This is a mandarin duck!"
"Okay, mandarin duck." Ji Man sat down covering her face, and couldn't help taking the bandage in her hand: "Embroidery is not like this, isn't it common for daughters to embroider? Why do you even embroider mandarin ducks like this? "
The maid next to her tactfully closed the door and went out, leaving room for the two of them.
"Daddy didn't force me to learn these things. I thought it was troublesome, so I didn't embroider much." Zhu Yurun curled her lips and watched Ji Man drop the needle: "You know how?"
Ji Man hadn't embroidered for a long time, and Nie Sangyu felt itchy, so he picked up the mandarin duck that Zhu Yurun had embroidered and started to rescue it.
"I learned from my mother when I was idle and had nothing to do."
Zhu Yurun looked at her with admiration: "My mother died early, and my father only has me as a daughter, so he spoils me so much that I can't do anything."
Ji Man nodded, and he could see that, he was spoiled so lawlessly that even men dared to rape him.
"It doesn't matter, there are servants who can do it. I discussed with Mr. Zhu today, and I will come to hire you the day after tomorrow, and then I asked the matchmaker about the wedding date, and I will welcome you within this month."
Zhu Yurun's eyes turned into crescents again: "That's great, I can finally wear a wedding dress."
Smiling and laughing, his eyes turned red: "It's a pity that you are not him."
Ji Man was really more and more curious about who this "he" of Ms. Zhu was, but she couldn't find out when she asked, so she had to hold back her embroidered duck.
"Oh, by the way, I can actually draw." Zhu Yurun took Ji Man's hand and said with some pride: "It's the only talent I know. Dad said I don't have any talent, so I will be disgusted by my husband."
Ji Man lowered his head and embroidered earnestly, and said in his mouth, "Well, what can I draw?"
Zhu Yurun happily took out a painting, unfolded it and said, "Look, I can draw him!"
Ji Man was startled, and looked up, the man in the painting was dressed in a robe embroidered with green bamboos, with some narrow eyes and a smile that was a little unrestrained.
He looks average, and he has a bit of temperament, and he looks a little familiar.
"Good job, who is this?"
Miss Zhu blushed and stomped her feet: "He! That's what I told you, it's very good-looking!"
What
Ji Man stared at that picture for a few times, and his eyelids twitched: "You said this is... your child's father?"
Zhu Yurun nodded with staring eyes, carefully touched the painted face with her fingers, and said softly: "I have never seen anyone prettier than him, and the way he frowns is so charming."
Ji Man shivered, almost poking a hole in his hand with a needle.
Are women in love really unreasonable and incomprehensible? Although the man in the painting is not bad, but it's not so good-looking, so good-looking that it makes people look crazy, right
Or maybe Ms. Zhu's painting skills are not good enough, and she didn't draw all the elegance of this man
Ji Man approached the painting with his eyes open, and made a PS in his mind to beautify, but he didn't feel anything, only one of them felt familiar.
Where have you seen this man
Ji Man was still thinking about this question until he went back to the Hou Mansion. As a result, when he stepped into Beiyuan, he found that Mo Yuhou was still seeing guests, but he was not in his room, but playing chess in the corridor of Beiyuan.
He was holding it well in one hand, and holding Bai Zi in the other, leaning against the red pillar in the corridor, smiling quite confidently. The person on the other side frowned slightly and remained silent.
Hearing the movement, Ning Yuxuan turned his head and looked over. Seeing Ji Man, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he turned his head back with a stern face. The person on the opposite side was so focused on playing chess that he didn't look up at all.
"Master." He opened his mouth well and called out obediently.
Ji Man found the steps and went down, and hurriedly came over, reaching out his hand to catch it.
Ning Yuxuan hugged her little body that was struggling a bit, and said, "Master Ji is going to get married, how can you come and teach me when you have time?"
Ji Man walked to the side of the chessboard, saluted politely and said: "Master Hou, I will give you a good lesson when I have time, and everything such as the dowry has been fully prepared."
Ning Yuxuan sneered: "Are you really planning to marry?!"
"I have already said it." Ji Man pursed her lips and said, "I have not sold myself, and I have the freedom to marry."
Mo Yuhou laughed back angrily, threw a white ball into a distant pool, and turned away with a stiff face.
No matter how obsessed Qian Yingchen was with the chess game, he finally raised his head, glanced at Mo Yuhou whose mood had changed so much in surprise, and then looked at Ji Man aside: "This is Shizi's master?"
Ji Man paused, turned his head to look at him, and immediately remembered: "Lord Qian!"
At the beginning, there was a meeting, this person was Qian Lianxue's younger brother, Mo Yuhou's best friend Qian Yingchen, Ji Man still remembered that he was the one who led him to meet everyone in the club. It's just that he seemed to be demoted to Xuzhou later, but I didn't expect to see him in the capital now.
It's just this face... Ji Man felt messy after taking a second look.
Is fate in this world so nonsense? She asked why the person in Zhu Yurun's painting looked familiar, because she had indeed seen it before, it was the face in front of her, but the lines were simpler.
Zhu Yurun's strong man is Qian Yingchen? Ji Man took a deep look at him, it was too...
Qian Yingchen looked at Ji Man's strange eyes, and touched his face involuntarily: "Master Ji recognizes you?"
"I have long admired Master Qian's name." Ji Man laughed dryly, and scanned his face again uncertainly: "I heard that Sir is not far away in Xuzhou? Why..."
Qian Yingchen smiled and said, "I was transferred back to the capital half a year ago. Where is Master Ji from? Why does Yingchen seem to know him very well?"
Not only do I understand, but I want to marry your woman and treat your child as a child. Ji Man thought silently in his heart, and said with a smile: "I'm from Changjun, but I have admired you for a long time, and I know some news, but I don't know much about it."
Qian Yingchen was also the manager of the club, so it's not surprising that he has fans.
This room had a happy chat, but Ning Yuxuan on the other end was not in a good mood, and said with a straight face: "Respondent, this is the end of the chess game, let's go to the room and have some tea."
