Ji Yunshu thought deeply.
Aunt Xie pouted and asked tentatively, "Mr. Ji, did I say what I said just now that I can't help you?"
She smiled slightly, "It's useful, it's just... I have to think about it."
"That's good, in short, as long as I know, you just ask, and I'll tell you."
"Thank you," she said. "It's getting late. I'll have someone bring some food over later. You can rest well after you eat."
Aunt Xie sighed, drooping her red and swollen eyes, and nodded lightly!
She didn't stay any longer, and after a few words of comfort, she left.
The next day, Aunt Xie left the Anchangyuan.
Since that day, Ji Yunshu has been sitting in the yard thinking about things.
Qiao'er and Shuang'er had become accustomed to it. As they were accustomed, they made a cup of hot tea and put it by her hand, then left silently without disturbing them.
I don't know how long it took, when the wall that had been quiet for several days suddenly heard "brother".
The sound was soft, but sharp.
Obviously, it was Xiao Xiyue's voice.
Ji Yunshu came back to his senses, looked sideways, and saw Xiao Xiyue's body turned on the wall, with a clear and clean smile on the corner of her mouth, she reached out to her.
"Brother, catch me."
She walked over, picked her up, pulled her into the yard and sat down.
"Why haven't you come these days?"
Xiao Xiyue propped her chin up, puffed her lips, and said, "The family has been busy recently, and a large merchant has ordered a lot of cloth. My parents and the workers hurry up and dye the cloth every day, so I also I went to help, I was driven out only yesterday, so today I came to find my brother to play with."
"Do your parents know you're here?"
"Anyway, if I don't stay in the embroidery room, or if I don't stay in the room, they will know that I'm here to find you, and they won't be worried."
"That's good."
Ji Yunshu poured her a glass of water, and asked Qiao'er to bring some snacks.
Xiao Xiyue seemed to have been hungry for a long time, so she grabbed a few pieces of snacks and started eating.
Relish!
While eating, he said, "My brother's dim sum is the best here."
Ji Yunshu: "But your mother's desserts are delicious too."
Not polite!
Xiao Xiyue puffed out her cheeks, blinked her eyes and asked, "Brother likes my mother's desserts?"
She nodded.
"Then I'll ask my mother to make some for you tomorrow."
"Do not bother."
"For use, as long as my brother likes to eat, mother will not find it troublesome." The corner of her mouth cracked, "Last time you came to my house as a guest, father and mother have never been so kind to people, and they have never cared so much about people. It can be seen that my parents like my brother very much."
She stretched out her finger and tapped lightly on her forehead, "It's weird! The person your parents care about and like the most is you. I'm just an outsider, and I'm just being polite to me."
Xiao Xiyue raised the back of her hand and rubbed her forehead, not because of pain, but smiled sweetly.
After she finished her snack, Ji Yunshu asked Qiao'er to take her to wash her hands.
After washing, she got into the house and walked around to the desk with ease. When she saw the books on it, she was immediately excited.
It's a good habit to love reading!
She picked up one of the books, "Oh, I know this, this is "Liu Shuang You Garden" by Chen Xunzi, I hurriedly put it down after I read it before, and when I wanted to read it for the second time, the book was gone. It's gone, and I don't know who took it away."
Qiao'er smiled gently, "Xiao Xiyue, our husband has many good books. If you like to read them, come here often."
"Um."
She nodded heavily.
Flicking through the book in his hand, he became more and more excited.
In the end, he sat directly on the chair and looked at it with gusto.
Qiao'er went out of the room and told Ji Yunshu, "Xiao Xiyue is reading books, the ones that you put on the table, sir."
"That girl's love of reading is not a matter of a day or two, let her be."
Can-
Suddenly a voice came from the room, "Isn't this my brother's?"
Ji Yunshu looked into the room, unable to understand, so he walked in.
I saw Xiao Xiyue standing under the bookshelf, holding a piece of paper in her hand. She took a closer look and found that it was the piece of paper on which the jade pendant was drawn.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
"This jade pendant belongs to my brother."
"Your brother?"
Nodding, "He often hangs on the end of the flute. Sometimes I want to touch it, but he won't let it."
Uh!
Ji Yunshu sneered.
Xiao Xiyue: "My mother made this specially for him. There is only one piece in the world. He has been hanging on the flute. But later, I saw that half of his jade pendant seemed to be missing. He said that the other half was broken. Let the jade craftsman cut it." He lifted the paper in his hand again, "But brother, how can you have the pattern of this jade pendant?"
It turned out that Qiaoer was not hallucinations!
The flute sound from next door should have been played by brother Xiao Xiyue.
Ji Yunshu didn't answer her, but asked curiously, "Why didn't you see him last time I went to your house?"
"He didn't live at home for several years. He just came back occasionally. I don't know what he's up to? I just heard from my mother that he seems to have opened a silk and satin shop outside."
Satin Village
the other side of this time.
After these days of investigation, Lang Bo checked the information of the four merchants that Jing Rong had handed over to him.
"My lord, the background of the four merchants has been checked, and there is nothing unusual about three of them, but the Sijia cloth delivered to the capital is a bit strange."
Jing Rong turned over the documents in his hand with a serious face.
learn-
It turned out to be the name of a silk and satin village, called Sijia Silk and Satin Village! It happened to be the year when the imperial court began to distribute disaster relief silver.
It is said to be a silk and satin village, but the small households on the street have not seen a facade!
The Silk and Satin Village is located in a small courtyard on the southern outskirts of Yufu City. There is nothing strange about it.
Lang Bo said, "The silk and satin of their family is only shipped once a year, and they are all shipped to Beijing. There are indeed records in each post, but it is unknown to whom it was shipped to the capital. The subordinates sent people to squat outside the door. For several days, just yesterday, I saw several trucks of cloth being transported in from the outside. It stands to reason that they were originally in the cloth business, so they should be sending the cloth out. I dived in late, wanting to find out, the prince guessed, what did the subordinates find?"
Guess what
Your head was squeezed by the door!
How dare you play guessing games with this king.
Jing Rong glanced at him immediately.
Lang Bo realized that he had stepped on a landmine and said quickly.
"The cloth that was transported in turned out to be exactly the same as the cloth embroidered and spun by Wen's family."
