Fulu went to buy Ertai's guitar, and Ertai went to Ji's mansion alone and entered the Ji family gate. Ji Xiaolan, Mrs. Ji, and Ji Mei were all there. The four of them met and greeted each other again.
After the greetings, Ertai smiled and said to Ji Xiaolan, Brother Xiaolan, we are going to set off for Jinan tomorrow. Are the things we accompanying you ready?
Alas, what's there to prepare? Isn't it just a few clothes to change? Ji Xiaolan replied with a smile, and then asked, Lord Fu, your luggage is ready?
Well, it's almost done... Ertai nodded, then looked at Mrs. Ji and Ji Mei, and said with concern, Mrs. Ji, Miss Meier, we are in Jinan, it's going to be late autumn. It's cold. You bring more thick clothes and be careful of catching a cold.
Thank you, Mr. Fu for your concern, all the clothes are ready, and the two women thank you in unison
Haha, that's good... Ertai smiled slightly, then looked at Ji Xiaolan and asked casually, Brother Xiaolan, who else are you going to Jinan to accompany you, besides Mrs. Ji and Miss Mei'er?
Ertai's politeness in his words was actually asking Ji Xiaolan, who would you recommend to Jinan to investigate the case and make contributions.
When Ji Xiaolan heard Ertai ask about this, he turned his eyes and thought about it. Finally, he bowed and said, "Mr. Fu, we are all our own people, so I won't hide it anymore. The official is going to recommend Lin Tingsheng to accompany him to Shandong. I wonder what Lord Fu wants?"
Well, I have seen Lin Tingsheng, and his impression is pretty good. Besides, he has always worked in the Ministry of Revenue and should be familiar with files and accounts all the way, and most importantly, he is your prospective son-in-law, haha
Ertai is interested in making friends with Ji Xiaolan. Although there are 1,000,000 people in his heart who are unwilling to go with Lin Tingsheng, they are inconvenient to refuse. However, letting him go does not mean that Ertai cannot neglect him and isolate him.
Haha, Lord Fu is so serious. I, Ji Xiaolan, have always been a public or a public, private or private, and do not avoid relatives inside, and do not avoid revenge outside... Ji Xiaolan said this very well, but he recommended his son-in-law to investigate the case and make meritorious service, so he was still selfish. Therefore, when he said this, his old face turned red slightly
It's Ah, Brother Xiaolan's character, and is known to both the government and the public. I believe Lin Tingsheng is still outstanding... But... Ertai's previous words were affirming Lin Tingsheng and Ji Xiaolan, but then he suddenly changed his mind and turned his eyes to Ji Xiaolan, Mrs. Ji and Ji Mei.
But what?
After hearing Ertai's words change, his words are a little flickering, Ji Xiaolan becomes nervous. He really likes his prospective son-in-law Lin Tingsheng very much. He is afraid that Ertai will change again, so he can't help but ask nervously.
hehe
Ertai naturally knew what Ji Xiaolan was worried about, so he smiled slightly and said casually, Brother Xiaolan, this is true. You have been an official in the court for many years, and you should also know the way for the following officials to deal with the imperial envoy. If we go out with great fanfare and beat drums, we may not be able to find out that we are here, so I think we might as well go there in a different way.
What method? Please tell me that Lord Fu clearly... After hearing that Forte was not confused about his prospective son-in-law Lin Tingsheng, Ji Xiaolan was relieved. He also heard that Ertai said that he did not follow the normal routine and went to Jinan to work in business, so he acted as a subordinate and asked Ertai to show his advice.
Haha, they are all my own brothers. I just want to Ah. We disguise themselves as merchants passing by. The officials below have never seen our appearance, so they will naturally not doubt our tenths. They are so conscious that they can go deep into the people and understand them... Otherwise, we will go with great fanfare. We have not yet reached the Shandong territory, so we are probably sending people to welcome us with great fanfare. It sounds nice on the surface, saying it is to protect our safety, but in fact, we are not afraid that we will contact the people and hear the truth.
Ertai smiled and said his idea
After hearing him say that, Ji Xiaolan pondered for a few seconds, suddenly his eyes lit up, he closed his hands and slapped a crisp hand, saying, "This is the best. The emperor sent us to investigate the case. What he wants is the real situation, so he will do it according to Lord Fu's wishes.
OK, since Brother Xiaolan agreed, let’s confirm our identity... Seeing that Ji Xiaolan agreed to his idea, Ertai immediately mentioned the issue of identity
Identity, what is the identity? Not only Ji Xiaolan, but even Mrs. Ji and Ji Mei, who had not spoken aside, couldn't help but ask curiously
Seeing that his children were all focusing on themselves, especially in front of Ji Xiaolan, Ertai felt so excited and said in his heart that he was just for you to find this identity, hehehe...
I heard him say this, Brother Xiaolan, we are all our own brothers. Besides, the emperor appointed me as the imperial envoy, so I will not be polite to you. This time I will play the role of the young owner of a wealthy family and go to Shandong to purchase a batch of goods. Brother Xiaolan, you are the assistant of the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, so I will play my housekeeper. As for Miss Mei'er, who is about the same age as Fu, I will be wronged to play my wife. As for Mrs. Ji, although she is old, her appearance looks only twenty or thirty years old. How about playing my sister?
He made this suggestion and had three thoughts in his mind. One is that he could take advantage of Ji Mei. Although he might not be able to get her, it is also good to be a husband in her name. He could use this as an excuse to get closer and develop.
Second, let Mrs. Ji play his sister, so she can call her Sister Ronger openly, and there is no need to worry that Ji Xiaolan will think too much, nor do she have to call her secretly, it seems like she is a thief.
As for the third point, there is Ertai's deeper intention, but it can only be understood but not expressed. Let's keep it aside. Let's not express it for now. In the future, the plot will develop appropriately. The boring author Xiaozhaizi is trying hard to explain. Everyone will understand that they are all men, hehehe
This... After listening to Ertai's proposal, the three of them had different expressions on their faces. Ji Xiaolan was in a dilemma, while Mrs. Ji and Ji Mei had flushed cheeks, which seemed to be shy.
Lord Fu, are you thinking about this identity issue? Ji Xiaolan didn't want to say this because he felt that Ertai was already righteous enough to him and his family. He first saved his wife and daughter, and then pleaded for him to seek the identity of the imperial envoy in front of the emperor. Later, he agreed to his prospective son-in-law to go to Shandong to make contributions. It was a perfect ending. He couldn't worry too much about an identity issue, but this issue was too awkward, and Ji Xiaolan had to carefully raise objections.
Oh, Brother Yi Xiaolan, what should it be appropriate? Ertai suppressed the displeasure in his heart and asked with a smile on his face
This...I... Ji Xiaolan didn't know what to say when Ertai asked this. After all, Ertai was the imperial envoy this time, and he should have the final say in all the itinerary. Being able to ask his own opinions is considered to give him face, and he can't be too tempted.
However, his daughter Ji Mei has already betrothed Lin Tingsheng, and he is also with him this time, Ji Mei plays Ertai's wife. Lin Tingsheng must be extremely uncomfortable, and he is unwilling to play the role of the official, and he is even more unwilling to let his wife play the role of Ertai's sister. What do you say? He is about the same age as his wife, so he should be young because his wife is Shaodong's sister and the lady of a rich family?
Isn't this a disguised saying that I am old? No, absolutely not
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaolan had no words for a long time. He really couldn't think of any better way to "role play". However, he didn't say anything, but he was anxious. She had been secretly observing Ertai's expression. Although Ertai was hiding very deeply, the careful Ji Mei still saw the faint unhappiness hidden in Ertai's expression.
She knew that her father Ji Xiaolan was able to be the assistant of the imperial envoy because of Ertai's recommendation, and that she and her mother were protected from the humiliation of the young master of the Jia family, and because of Ertai's righteous actions. From this point of view, Ertai was the nobleman given to her by God. As long as she was trusted by Ertai, the Ji family could make a comeback.
Therefore, she ignored the precept of Ji family's ancestral teachings that "women are not allowed to interfere in politics", Lianbu moved slightly to Ji Xiaolan and whispered, "Father, daughter thinks Mr. Fu's proposal is good."
What, you...?
With Ertai beside him, Ji Xiaolan had something to say, but she secretly signaled her daughter Ji Mei with her eyes, reminding her not to forget her identity. Even if she didn't consider herself, she should consider Lin Tingsheng's feelings.
In fact, how could Ji Mei not understand his father's tip, but she replied indifferently, "Father, Mr. Fu has just said that, but she just played and pretended, but she didn't do it. Her daughter has her own sense of responsibility. Besides, Mr. Fu has helped our Ji family so much. If we are petty because of this, we will be inferior. What do you think, father?
My father was not petty, but was afraid that Lin Tingsheng would eat something... After hearing what his daughter Ji Mei said, Ji Xiaolan thought about it and thought that what his daughter said was very reasonable. Lord Fu respected him and asked him to be his deputy. Otherwise, with the appeal of his Fu family, it would be not easy to find a confidant to help him?
But Ji Xiaolan was very worried that Lin Tingsheng would not accept such a proposal.
This... Father, don't worry, where is Tingsheng? My daughter will say it. I guess he has been your student for so long, so he will still take care of the overall situation.
Ji Mei smiled and said to Ji Xiaolan. She said casually, but she felt somewhat guilty about Lin Tingsheng. After all, she was Lin Tingsheng's wife who had not passed away. At this time, she wanted to pretend to be Ertai's wife. With her Ji Mei's intelligence, she naturally understood what the wishful thinking was in Ertai's heart.
Alas, I hope... Ji Xiaolan sighed softly, thinking that if Lin Tingsheng could be so generous that he would "take the overall situation into consideration", it would be great. After all, the word "love" is difficult for even a hero to pass. Although he had to pretend to be a husband and wife just to investigate the case, only he knew whether Lin Tingsheng was eating or not.
After thinking about it, Ji Xiaolan bowed his hand to Ertai and replied, "My Lord Fu, just do what you said."
OK, Brother Xiaolan is so quick to speak, that's it, haha
Seeing that he agreed to his proposal, Ertai was very excited and said happily, we will dress up tomorrow and officially set off...
After the greetings, Ertai smiled and said to Ji Xiaolan, Brother Xiaolan, we are going to set off for Jinan tomorrow. Are the things we accompanying you ready?
Alas, what's there to prepare? Isn't it just a few clothes to change? Ji Xiaolan replied with a smile, and then asked, Lord Fu, your luggage is ready?
