"Actually, you don't have to pretend to be well-behaved, Ari," he said.
Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng with a little bewilderment. His tone was too familiar. She could clearly hear that he was calling "Ali" instead of "Ali".
Perhaps he saw through her at the beginning, just as she saw through him.
Jiang Li shrugged: "I'm used to it."
In her previous life, she was really well-behaved. Although she didn't get any good results, she ended up in blood and tears, and even hurt her family. Now she is more cautious, so she is even more handy when she pretends to be well-behaved, and penetrates into her bones.
Ji Heng always said that she enters into a play, why is she not an actor? The face was smeared with oil to hide his thoughts, and his men were murderous after hundreds of thousands of times on stage.
Ji Heng looked at her for a while, and said: "You go back." He handed the umbrella to Jiang Li, as if he was a passionate son who was devoted to Jiang Li's sake, reluctant to bear the coldness of his sweetheart.
Jiang Li was stunned, took the umbrella in his hand, stood up from the stone, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Grandpa Guo."
"Don't thank you." Ji Heng said: "I should protect my own things."
"You said that," Jiang Li groaned, "It makes me feel like I have a big backing behind me, and I want to give it a go and get into trouble without any scruples."
"Don't you cause less trouble?" Ji Henghun didn't care.
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded, "I'm leaving." She saw the plain white umbrella underneath, and there was a thread-embroidered peony. It was faint. If you didn't look carefully, you could hardly see it, but it was Ji Heng. I'm used to the look I like.
Holding the umbrella, she went back to the house with Tonger Baixue.
Ji Heng did not leave immediately.
He was standing on the edge of the pond, wondering if it was an illusion, the snow in the sky had grown slightly. The wind blew obliquely, and the snow particles floated past the water, and the white, crystal-clear point quickly disappeared.
Wen Ji stood quietly behind Ji Heng and asked softly: "My lord, why do you want to help Miss Jiang Er?"
Wen Ji has followed Ji Heng since he was ten years old. He has been a master and servant with Ji Heng for more than ten years. Ji Heng is a lonely person. ". Wen Ji dare.
Ji Heng said: "Give your life to someone else, and your life will always hang on the tip of a knife, and you can still laugh." His voice was smiling, but it seemed to be empty and lonely, "Wenji, don't you think, with me Does it look alike?"
The difference is that he fell into the abyss and bloomed flowers from the darkness, while Jiang Li split a blood path among the thorns, trying to catch a little bit of sunlight from the crevices of the woods.
She took a different path from him, so he moved her compassionately. Just like the rare flowers that grow in the gardens of his mansion, they start from difficult and dangerous places and climb up desperately. If they are not carefully taken care of, they will be short-lived, quickly wither, and disappear forever from the world.
There is only one ginger pear in the world with so many strange flowers.
She disrupted his plan time and time again in the chaos, and although it was innocuous, she let him discover this fierce and distinctive man-eating flower. Ji Heng could see her emptiness and frustration, her utilization, and her occasional sincerity and sadness.
He wanted to put this seemingly docile but fierce plant into the flower garden of Yanjing, and after the fight, there was still geometry left.
They met each other in a narrow way in the scene, tearing off each other's masks in the wrong line of chess, hypocritical and sincere, and in the use of them, there was a trace of sincerity of sympathy.
very nice.
In just a few dozen years in my life, it is really interesting to meet someone who is very similar to me but completely different.
So he wants her to live.
At least for now.
…
On the second day, Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu and his party set out for Xiangyang.
Most of the villagers in Tongxiang took the initiative to sue Jiang Li and the others in Yanjing, not only to punish Feng Yutang, but also to seek justice for the crazy Xue Huaiyuan. Jiang Li felt that there were too many people, but the people's sentiment was very exciting. Looking at Xue Huaiyuan, who was delirious, many people's eyes were wet.
In the end, except for the old and weak women and children who couldn't travel far, everyone else followed the chariot team.
As for the horse and carriage fees, Feng Yutang searched for the people's anointing by himself, intending to escape with the treasures of gold and silver. Unexpectedly, before he had time to run out, he was blocked by the people at the gate of the county office. Those large boxes did not have time to take away. The gold and silver treasures in it were enough for the people to go to Yanjing on the way.
Before going to Yanjing, I had to go back to Xiangyang to get the transfer order. By the way, I had to explain the reason with the Ye family. The people were happily. Jiang Li was sitting in the carriage with Xue Huaiyuan, who was crazy. Xue Huaiyuan didn’t even look at her. He took a little wooden man and played happily, saying "Ari" and "Ari" in his mouth. "The raccoon" cried, and after a while he said, "I want to show it to A li and A Zhao for fun."
Jiang Li looked sad, Ye Mingyu was outside, and while he was on the way to rest, he asked Jiang Li, "Ali, although I said to my mother, I asked you to come and help me with things. But now things are getting bigger, let's do it now. How should it end."
Ye Mingxuan and the others would be surprised if they watched so many Tongxiang people. When I returned to Yanjing, there was also Dali Temple and his party, and even ordered the office to come over under the name of Jiang Yuanbai. Jiang Yuanbai knew how to blame Jiang Li.
These are not trivial matters, it depends on how Jiang Li came back.
"Nothing." Jiang Li said, "I'll explain to my grandmother." Ye Mingyu really couldn't explain these things. He had no contact with Xue Huaiyuan at all, so he couldn't do these things.
Jiang Li is different. Although she can't explain, the Ye family won't force her to ask her. Maybe they will think that Jiang Yuanbai asked her to do these things, instead of worrying too much.
Ye Mingyu thought for a while, and felt that Jiang Li was right, so he agreed.
The road back to Xiangyang is faster than the journey to Tongxiang. Xu is the people who can’t wait to get the order from the prefect of Xiangyang to go to Beijing to rehabilitate Xue Huaiyuan. Feng Yutang followed the crowd and was confined in the prison wagon, and several of his minions went listlessly with the convoy.
They can't run or move, knowing that the situation is over, they are all discouraged. Jiang Li asked Ye Mingyu's people to pay attention to Feng Yutang and the others. They were afraid that Princess Yongning's staff would get the news, so they killed Feng Yutang and killed them. No evidence was left.
However, Jiang Li thought that with Ji Heng, this should not happen. She walked around in such a big circle by herself to make this matter a little bit. Since Ji Heng loves to watch the show, she allowed Amao and Agou to mess up the show, and she could not see the end of it satisfactorily.
When he returned to Xiangyang, Jiang Li didn't go back to Ye's house first, and asked Ye Mingyu to find a place to settle down the people first, and then directly took people to find Tong Zhiyang.
Tong Zhiyang is not in the prefecture, but lives in a small courtyard with his outside room and son.
It was heard that after Mrs. Tong He's quarrel with Tong Zhiyang that day, she went straight back to her family's home. Father Tong was furious and threatened to kill Tong Zhiyang to vent his anger for the He family. Tong Zhiyang was so afraid that even the prefect did not dare to do it. In fact, he could not do it. He was the prefect who could do it only by the He family. Now he is offended. With He Shi, the black hat can't be protected. Chengri and his son in the outer room are hiding in this small courtyard, with their tails sandwiched between them.
Jiang Li didn't talk nonsense with Tong Zhiyang, and said: "I need the official order, Mr. Tong, or not?"
Tong Zhiyang was so angry with Jiang Li that he didn't dare to speak, and said, "Ms. Jiang Er, I don't even dare to enter the prefectural office..."
"Your wife is so domineering, but it's because He's brother-in-law is an official in Yanjing, and is the official order of the clock." Jiang Li said: "If you want to be an upright person, and are not afraid of being chased by the He family, you have to let He's Nothing to rely on, let your brother-in-law lose an official." She glanced at Tong Zhiyang, "If you make this warrant for me, I will make He’s brother-in-law not an official in the capital. He’s family has no support. Naturally I dare not move you."
Tong Zhiyang's eyes lit up and asked Jiang Li, "What you said is true?"
"I'm Shoufu's daughter," Jiang Li smiled, "you don't believe me?"
"No, no," Tong Zhiyang hurriedly said, "I believe, I believe." He certainly believed that soon after Jiang Li came to Tongxiang, the weaving room in Yanjing City would be able to rush to Xiangyang to work on the Ye family case in just a few days. Looking at the warrant she asked for this time, it was once again that Xue Huaiyuan, the criminal minister, got rid of crime. Since ancient times, when helping criminals to reverse the case, they have been extremely careful. If they are not careful, they will hurt themselves. If they are not full of confidence, who dares to do this is because she is Miss Jiang Jia, who dares to be so confident. Jiang Li said that she could do it, for sure. Works.
"Ms. Jiang Er, I still have a gratuitous request." Tong Zhiyang wiped his sweat. "If the brother-in-law of the He family loses office, it will be natural. The Ye family things are the ghosts they made. I just Follow orders... I am loyal to Miss Jiang Er and Ye Family! Can I let the prefect of me continue to do it? I promise to take care of Ye Family in the future!" He looked at Jiang Li hopefully.
The smile on Jiang Li's face was put away, and he said faintly: "Master Tong, there is not enough human heart to swallow the elephant. Besides, as the Jiang family's in-laws, whoever serves as the prefect of Xiangyang, I think he will take care of the Ye family. Master Tong bothered. Besides, Master Tong now can’t even keep the mother and child in this room, and he is still in danger. I can make He’s brother-in-law lose office, at least you don’t have to hide and be a human being, and you don’t have to worry about Tong Yu being victimized. Killing is already a blessing in misfortune, Master Tong still wants more, which is too much."
Tong Zhiyang looked at Jiang Li and couldn't help but shrink his neck. Jiang Li's words are not serious, but the warning is really obvious.
Of course Jiang Li didn't intend to help Tong Zhiyang. For her, the right person who was tied to King Cheng would sooner or later be her opponent. He's brother-in-law is a right-hand man, except for her, it's just a matter of convenience. As long as he returns to Yanjing and disseminates the affairs of the Ye family, the Zhong Guanling will naturally be in trouble. People in officialdom, Jiang Li didn't think that the old and cunning rightist would preach morals and justice, and he had to deal with a Zhongguan's order.
As for Tong Zhiyang, a prefect who once obeyed others to frame the Ye family, she would never give him a second chance. Now the entire Xiangyang city knows that the relationship between the Ye family and the Jiang family is not as bad as in the legend. No matter who the new Xiangyang prefect is, they will always be kind to Ye family, and Tong Zhiyang's guarantee is really not needed.
Tong Zhiyang knew that he was wrong, so he didn't say anything, and said to Jiang Li, "Ms. Jiang Er, please wait for me for a while." He got up and went into the house.
Within a quarter of an hour, Tong Zhiyang came again with an official order. This official order was written in accordance with the gourd painting, and it needs to be done by Tong Zhiyang, but it is just a seal. It was only a simple matter for Tong Zhiyang that He hadn't asked him to call out the official seal and write an official order for Jiang Li.
Jiang Li got the official order, took a look, and saw that it worked, and smiled at Tong Zhiyang: "So, thank you Master Tong." He turned around and left casually.
Tong Zhiyang ran out in a trot behind, and said flatteringly: "Ms. Jiang Er, the matter about Zhong Guanling... Don't forget it!"
…
After getting the official order, Ashun was ordered to pick Jiang Li back to Ye's house. Ye Mingyu settled down the people in Tongxiang, and had already returned to the Ye family first. Such a large group of people from Tongxiang came to Xiangyang, which naturally attracted countless attention. With such a earth-shattering event, the Ye family is probably still interrogating Ye Mingyu at the moment.
Ye Mingyu remembered what Jiang Li had said, and Jiang Li came to explain to the Ye Family, so he didn't say anything, and let Ashun come to pick up the people.
Jiang Li got into the carriage and arrived at Ye's first.
Because Xue Huaiyuan and Feng Yutang were different from ordinary people, Jiang Li was afraid of any mistakes, so they were set up in the courtyard of the Ye family. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw that the servants at the gate looked serious, as if something major happened to the Ye family and needed to be prepared.
Seeing Jiang Li and Ashun coming, the porter immediately yelled inside: "Miss Biao is back! Miss Biao is back!"
Jiang Li: "..."
As if she came back, things could get a reasonable explanation.
Jiang Li entered the Ye family. In the Jinhua Hall, all the Ye family members were there. Ye Mingyu was surrounded at the very center, bowing his head as if he had made a mistake.
"I told you not to cause trouble, this is good, you still think that you don't cause too much trouble, and even officials dare to tie it? What is going on?" Ye Mingxuan said, scornful.
Ye Mingyu was very wronged, this time it really wasn't his cause. Although he does not cause trouble outside on weekdays, he has never participated in these complicated officialdom relationships, not to mention that he used nicknames when he walked around the rivers and lakes, who would use his real name. But I can't betray my niece, hey, really bad luck!
Just thinking about it, Jiang Li came in from outside.
Mrs. Ye first saw her and called out: "Ali!"
Jiang Li walked up to Mrs. Ye in a few steps.
Mrs. Ye seemed to be better in these few days, she could stand up and walk a few steps with the help of the maid. She took Jiang Li and looked at it carefully, then she was relieved. Said: "Seeing how you are, I'm relieved."
"Grandma is relieved, I'm fine." Jiang Li smiled: "Uncle has been taking care of me."
"Ali," Guan couldn't help asking: "What the hell is going on? Those outside... why are you involved in the case of Tongxiang County Cheng again?"
Jiang Li showed a look of difficulty, and said after a long while: "This... is actually what my father meant."
"Jiang Yuanbai?" Ye Minghui frowned, "Jiang Yuanbai asked you to come to Xiangyang for this?"
"That's right, because I want to go back to Xiangyang to see my grandfather. My father has other plans, so he let me go to Tongxiang. This matter is actually directed by my father. I just acted according to my father's wishes. Waiting to return to Yanjing , These things will be handed over to the father to supervise them." Jiang Li smiled and said: "It's me who is not good, and worry about my grandmother and uncles and aunts."
She did not hesitate to push these things to Jiang Yuanbai. The Ye family members were not very interested in Jiang Yuanbo, and if she put aside herself completely, the Ye family members would not be too worried.
Sure enough, the Ye family looked at each other, although their expressions were still different, they were not as anxious as they were at the beginning.
Jiang Yuanbai was an old fox, and the Ye family didn't understand official affairs, so it was hard for them to ask why they did it.
Upon seeing this, Ye Mingyu secretly gave Jiang Li a thumbs up. Reading a lot of books is good, and a few words persuade the family. If he had Jiang Li's mouth, he would not have to be urged to marry each year by his old lady and his brothers and sisters.
It seems that people who are stupid need to read more. Ye Mingyu made up his mind that he must hire a gentleman someday to learn more about speaking skills.
Although the story was pushed to Jiang Yuanbai's head, Jiang Li had to explain to the Ye family what was going on with Xue Huaiyuan's case. But it didn't mention that Feng Yutang still had a master. Therefore, in the ears of the Ye family, it was Feng Yutang who framed Xue Huaiyuan.
Ye Rufeng said, "Feng Yutang is too jerk! Poor Xue Xiancheng."
"There is such a villain in the world." Ye Jiaer is very grateful. "What's more terrifying is that such a villain can still be an official."
Ye Mingxuan pondered for a while, and said, "That said, Jiang Yuanbai has done a good thing this time." He glanced at Jiang Li.
Ye Mingxuan is a smart person. Although Jiang Li pushed everything to Jiang Yuanbo's head, Ye Mingxuan still noticed something was wrong. What benefits can Jiang Yuanbai get in handling the Xue family's case? Jiang Yuanbo is not a great upright official who is dedicated to serving the country and the people. More importantly, Jiang Yuanbo has nothing to do with the Xue family. Why should Jiang Li go to Tongxiang specifically to rehabilitate the Xue family.
But suspicion turned to suspicion, and Ye Mingxuan had no other evidence, so he had to give up.
"Since it is a good thing, Master Xue is also a poor person." Mrs. Ye said: "Ali, you should return to Yanjing earlier. There is a time limit for official orders. From Xiangyang to Yanjing, there must be some Day, you leave early, and you can return to Yanjing sooner.” Mrs. Ye is a sensible temperament, and she persuaded Jiang Li to hear the ins and outs.
"I think so too." Jiang Li smiled and said, "We will stay in Xiangyang for one day, and we will leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Zhuo's surprised: "Why are you so anxious?"
"Sister-in-law, we are going to do business, of course we can't delay." Ye Mingyu said.
"Why, do you want to go too?" Ye Mingxuan asked Ye Mingyu.
"Of course! Ali also said about this. With me, I can take care of Ali properly. With so many people, do you want Ali to bring so many Tongxiang people into Beijing alone? You want to die of exhaustion. A Li? I’m different. How many brothers did I bring when I wandered through the rivers and lakes? The most suitable position for giving orders. I will take the lead and keep A Li comfortable along the way. What bandits, bandits, robbers No one dared to come. Come and kill the other, and kill the two!" He made two fierce gestures.
"Come on, I think you will just add chaos when you go." Ye Mingxuan said irritably.
"Uncle Mingxuan, this time I was indeed thanks to Uncle Mingyu's help." Jiang Li smiled and said, "I hope that Uncle Mingyu can be with him when I enter Beijing. I will feel more at ease with him." Ye Mingyu is a very good person. Good family, he never asks much. He is careless and can understand Jiang Li to the maximum. With Ye Mingyu, it is easier to do many things.
When Ye Mingyu heard Jiang Li speaking for him, he straightened his body proudly, and gave Ye Mingxuan a look of "I don't see it".
Ye Mingxuan had to refute, and Mrs. Ye had spoken, and she said: "Well, since A Li wants the third child to go with him, the third child will go with him. After all, A Li is a girl, although there are guards, I am not relieved, the third child. , I will leave Ali to you. If Ali has a long and two shortcomings, I will ask you when I come back."
"Don't worry, mother," Ye Mingyu frowned, "I'm doing things, don't worry!"
Mrs. Ye turned her head to look at Jiang Li again, her eyes full of dismay, "Ali, you have only returned to Xiangyang soon, and you are about to leave... I don't know when you will come again next time."
Jiang Li's heart softened, and she took Mrs. Ye's hand and said, "Grandma, it's okay. When I return to Xiangyang to do something, I will find a chance to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible. When you get better, let your uncle and aunt take you. Come to Yanjing together. Cousin Ye is now also working as a member of the household clerk in Yanjing. When his roots are firmly established, it is good for the Ye family to establish a foothold in Yanjing."
The phrase "Let's Ye Family", Mrs. Ye said it was very hot in her heart. The smile on his face couldn’t stop, and said, “Okay, okay, then I’ll be in Xiangyang, and I’ll take care of myself. When I can go, I’ll come to Yanjing with your aunts and uncles to see Shijie. and you."
Ye Minghui's group was a little sympathetic. When Jiang Li had never returned to Ye's house, Mrs. Ye was sick and couldn't even get out of bed, and she didn't have such energy. It didn't take long for Jiang Li to return to Ye's house, but the old lady's body improved day by day.
After all, people still have thoughts and thoughts, and there is hope for everything.
I talked to the Ye family again, until it was late, and after dinner, everyone left.
Xue Huaiyuan was already asleep, Jiang Li went to look at him and asked the surrounding guards to look after him before returning to his house. Unexpectedly, I saw Ye Jiaer in the house.
Tonger made Ye Jiaer hot tea, Jiang Li walked in and called her: "Cousin."
"Cousin." Ye Jiaer stood up.
Jiang Li said, "Ms. Jia'er is still looking for me so late, but what's the matter?"
Ye Jiaer pointed to the box on the table with embarrassment, and said, "For you."
Jiang Li opened it to look and found that it was a piece of clothing. It was about a long dress with wide sleeves and a narrow body. It was warm and pearly white, but under the light, it gave out some sparkling brilliance, like the ripples of the sea, flashing a small blue light.
"We took out the peacock feathers of Uncle San, we made a sample cloth first, and a few pieces of material came out. Here, it's probably what this material looks like." Ye Jiaer said: "Because I'm just exploring, so I scrapped a lot. So far, the team has succeeded in such a horse. I got the consent of my father and uncle to make her into a dress and give it to you. This is your idea. The business of antique satin can’t be done. We have to make a new one. It's comparable to the material of antique satin... Cousin, what do you think of this material?"
Jiang Li said, "It's beautiful."
"Really?" Ye Jiaer's expectation seemed to come true all of a sudden, her eyes looking at Jiang Li were full of unbearable joy.
"I never tell lies."
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. Cousin, you have seen many good things in Yanjing City. Since you have said it is good, it will not be bad. I believe you." Ye Jiaer was very happy, "We have discussed it. Now, the texture of this material is like sea water, it's called Tao Shui Wen."
"Taoshuiwen..." Jiang Li said silently twice, before looking at her: "This name sounds very nice."
"I thought." Ye Jiaer squeezed the corner of her skirt embarrassedly. This girl who has always been generous and generous, looked a little shy. She said: "I think, the cousin is a lady from the Shoufu family, and she must know a lot of expensive Girl, the cousin wears this dress to go out. If people next to her think the cousin looks good, they will naturally ask what the material is and where it was made. When she introduces her, she can say the name of Taoshuiwen." She paused. Then he said: "Cousin, don't think that our merchants are all profiting so much. It is indeed the Ye family today. If you don’t make clothing that can replace the antique satin earlier, it will be ruined, and the Ye family’s business will sooner or later fail. I don’t want my grandmother and grandfather’s hard work in vain. Since my surname is Ye, I must take up this responsibility."
She hesitated and said, "I know that I am asking too much..."
"Not too much." Jiang Li said.
Ye Jiaer looked at her.
"Although my surname is not Ye, my mother's surname is Ye, and half of the Ye family's blood is shed on me. Of course, I have to bear the responsibilities of the Ye family." Jiang Li smiled and said, "And, I don't think this. What's wrong? There are only a batch of Tiaoshui patterns now, and it is not easy to come out. Things are more precious. The more rare the Tiaoshui patterns are, the more people desire it."
"This is the opportunity of the Ye family, cousin, you seized it, I think, the business of the Ye family has no worries about successors."
This is Jiang Li's true word. If Ye Jiaer doesn't know how to manage the Ye family's industry, no matter what the Ye family's wealth is, when the previous generations and the Ye family's three brothers gradually get old, the family business will sooner or later disperse.
But Ye Jiaer was obviously very smart. She inherited the Ye family's business mindset, which was revealed when she was young.
"Cousin will leave this to me." Jiang Li stroked the clothes in the box, and said: "I will definitely wear it at the right time that is highly anticipated."
Ye Jiaer looked at Jiang Li in a daze. After a while, she suddenly smiled and nodded vigorously.
"Ok!"
