Chapter 379: The Uncrowned King
Not to mention the side, just looking at Zhou Cifu's angry and depraved appearance can be seen.
Elder Li Ge glanced at Ji Yushen, Ji Yushen nodded knowingly, and stepped forward to take the initiative to talk to Zhou Cifu, "Master Zhou, the cabinet ministers have changed, and the juniors are still young, and the juniors will have to rely on the boss for more guidance in the future." ”
It was said humbly, and the courtesy was thoughtful.
Zhou Cifu is not an unreasonable person, and when he was about to return to Ji Yushen for a kind word, he suddenly couldn't say anything when he saw the smug smile on his face when he saw Li Ge Lao standing behind him.
"Don't dare! Master Ji has a good father-in-law like Li Gelao, do you still need the guidance of the old man? The old man is only a shallow learner, so Master Ji should ask for another master! ”
With that, he flicked his sleeves and strode out angrily.
The old man is really healthy......
Ji Yushen stood behind him, looking at his departing back without changing his face, and a slight smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Elder Li Ge walked up from behind and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't pay attention to that old horseman, he is just ruthless, how many people in this court really help him?" is that there is no old man, with his straightforward and upright temperament, he wants to be the head of the court? Dream! ”
Ji Yushen was still smiling, "I like his temperament." ”
Li Ge was taken aback, and then thought that what Ji Yushen said should be glad that Zhou Cifu had such a temperament, so that he could have a better chance of winning the position of first assistant, so he smiled.
"Let's go, go back to the house and gather everyone to think about it in the long run."
……
"Father is going to return to his hometown?"
Li Ziyue has always been very slow about the affairs of the Li Mansion in the court.
What she cares about is nothing more than how to raise Li Qianyue at home, how to make clothes and snacks for Ji Yushen, and how to care about Li Gelao's medicine and drinks.
Therefore, she was almost the last person who knew that Li Ge was going to return to his hometown.
Li Ziyue was still holding Li Qianyue in her arms, and said happily when she heard this: "That's a good thing!" My father is old, and our Li family is too powerful in the court, so it's time to step back and withdraw. It's just that...... It's just that the husband is still in the middle of the court, and after all, our family can't enjoy the joy of picking chrysanthemums under the east fence. ”
The maid Jing'er smiled when she heard this: "Miss doesn't want to be a Mrs. Yipin, why do you want to pick chrysanthemums at a young age?" Our uncle has a future, and in the future, he may be able to replace the master's position as the first assistant! When the time comes, Miss will be Mrs. Shoufu, how magnificent it will be! ”
Li Ziyue glanced at Jing'er when she heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's so good about Mrs. Shoufu?" I don't do it. Wasn't my mother the first lady? ”
At the mention of her mother, Li Ziyue's expression was a little gloomy.
Jing'er knew that she missed her mother and was sad, so she didn't dare to say more.
Li Ziyue hugged Li Qianyue and patted it unconsciously in her hands, "Mother was also the first assistant lady with infinite scenery back then, but outsiders can only see her scenery, how do you know how many grievances she has?" The grandmother blamed her for not being able to add a boy to her father. Because of this, the people in the house became more and more disrespectful to her, and even her aunt dared to ride on her head. How many tears did my mother secretly wipe away at night? But his father didn't know, he only knew that he was worried about his government affairs in the study. ”
Thinking of this, she burst into tears.
Jing'er hurriedly persuaded: "Fortunately, after the eldest lady entered the palace and became a virtuous concubine, she tried to drive away the aunts of the master, and no one dared to look down on Mrs. Xian since then." ”
For a maid like Jing'er, who has been serving Li Ziyue since she was a child, the best thing Concubine Li has ever done is probably this one.
"But not long after those aunts were driven away, my mother also died of depression and illness, and even if she got the respect she deserved, she could only go to Huangquan Road to find ......."
Li Ziyue sighed deeply, and Li Qianyue in her arms suddenly twisted her body, and she came back to her senses and looked at the child.
Li Qianyue is a little older, and his eyebrows look more and more like Ji Yushen.
At first, she said that the child looked like Ji Yushen, and Ji Yushen always wanted to say that the child was more like Li Gelao and Li Ziyue, Li Ziyue thought he was polite, in order to make the old man happy.
But as Li Qianyue got bigger and bigger, Ji Yushen was still lukewarm to him, and Li Ziyue realized something strange.
"Jing'er, don't you think that your husband doesn't seem to like Yue'er very much?"
"Huh?"
Jing'er was immediately stunned when she asked this, "How come?" Uncle's ...... Forgive the slave and maid for talking a lot, my uncle seems to be cold and indifferent to everyone, I think he doesn't like the little son, but he is just cold-faced and hot-hearted, right? ”
Jing'er hasn't said it yet, in fact, all the maids and wives in the Li Mansion like Ji Yushen, and they like to see his indifferent and handsome side face, which is as different as the fairy in the painting.
If he is always affectionate, loves to talk and laugh, he probably doesn't have this fairy spirit.
Li Ziyue Xu was idle at home, always thinking crankily, she shook her head, "You say, could it be because Yue'er and the Li family name are unhappy?" ”
If in the past, Ji Yushen was just a small tanhua, and people in the court were soft-spoken, then it was naturally inappropriate for the child to follow the Li family's surname.
But now Ji Yushen is the youngest cabinet minister, everyone has to be called the elder of the cabinet, and then let his eldest son follow the surname of the Li family, which always feels inappropriate.
It's a pity that Mrs. Li Ge likes Li Qianyue and always wants to make up for his own regret of having no children through Li Qianyue, so Li Ziyue doesn't dare to say much.
Jing'er thought for a while and said, "But my uncle hasn't said it yet......"
"Naturally, I can't say it, my husband always likes to hide something in his heart, and he may not be willing to confide in me. People are always like this, will their hearts be suffocated? If he doesn't confide in me, to whom......"
When Jing'er heard this, she burst out laughing.
"Miss is really thinking about nothing all day, can my uncle still hide Jiaojiao in the golden house outside?"
Li Ge Lao moved around the court many times for Ji Yushen to succeed him as the first assistant, almost to the point of doing everything.
coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, and Li Ge asked Li Ziyue to accompany Ji Yushen. When you enter the palace, you can walk around more with the ladies of the minister's family.
"Father, how do I do these things? I'm not the eldest sister. ”
Li Ziyue excused herself in every possible way.
Since she was a child, she has not been as good at talking as Concubine Li, so good at pleasing adults, and she is not as knowledgeable and clever as her. Fortunately, Li is the eldest sister, and when there is a need to entertain a female dependent, she can go, and Li Ziyue hides behind Li silently like a maid.
Although it was a child, Li Ziyue has been used to it until now.
Fortunately, she is married to Ji Yushen, and Ji Yushen is not a person who likes to socialize and move around, he and those ministers have always had something to say, and they seem very polite and alienated when they have nothing to do.
