Liu Hanyun pinched the handkerchief, as if she had made a big decision: "I thought, there are not many people serving in this yard. Originally, Qing'er could help serve Lord Hou, but recently she is not in good health and is recuperating. , the only thing left is the concubine. The concubine has to take care of Xi'er, and Lord Hou doesn't come to Linghan courtyard often. Wen Wan has lost her memory anyway, and she doesn't even know who you are, so why don't you let her out to serve you Lord Hou, also in case Lord Hou is always outside and never comes back."
Ji Man was stunned when he heard that, Liu Hanyun is so generous, she didn't remember Wen Wan's revenge when she replaced her son, and she still wanted to release Wen Wan to serve Lord Hou again
"Madam is the head of the family, why would you ask me such a question?" Ji Man pursed her lips and said, "I'm just advising Madam, people's hearts are far away, and some people may not appreciate you if you treat her well."
Liu Hanyun turned his eyes away and looked away: "I'm also worried that Master Hou will bring some women back from outside. Wan'er was the one he liked before, but now she has no memory, so she is a brand new person. If possible, I would like to try it. "
What does it mean that the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and it is born again. Ji Man thought to herself, after all, she had loved before, and Ning Yuxuan was really soft-hearted towards Wen Wan.
"Madam can handle this matter by herself, so don't ask me." When breakfast came, Ji Man finished his porridge, looked at the early sunlight outside, and said with a smile: "Now I happen to be in the mansion, can Madam take me with me to see?" Look at Master Wan? He is an old man after all."
"Okay." Liu Hanyun nodded, got up and took Ji Man to the rose garden.
There are still flowers blooming in the rose garden, and Wen Wan is sitting at the stone table in the yard, embroidering flowers with a smile. When Ji Man stepped in, she looked over in a blink of an eye. There was something strange in her eyes, but they were very gentle.
"Madam?" Wen Wan put down the needle and thread, stood up and walked in front of Liu Hanyun, and bowed Yingying: "My concubine pays my respects to Madam."
"No." Liu Hanyun brought Ji Man in, and Ji Man stood by the stone table and looked at Wen Wan.
Miss Wen Wan, who had lost her memory the last time she hanged herself, seems to be a different person now. Although she still looks weak while standing, she has a very warm smile on her face. Wearing a long white dress with a bright yellow waistcoat and shawl, she looks fresh and refined, like a girl next door.
Ji Man had to admit that Miss Wen's face was defeated by herself later on. A beautiful face, full of resentment every day, naturally became more and more ugly. Now it seems to let go of everything, and the whole person looks comfortable again.
"Who is this young master?" Wen Wan looked at Ji Man with doubts in her eyes.
Liu Hanyun said: "This is Master Hou's best friend, Mr. Ji."
Wen Wan made a small gift, and looked at her flickeringly: "Mr. Ji is here, but what's the matter?"
Ji Man looked directly into her eyes and said with a smile: "Just drop by to have a look, there's nothing else to do, I should leave later."
Wen Wan nodded with a vague understanding.
Want to use her to serve Ning Yuxuan again? Ji Man thinks that Liu Hanyun's thinking is really unique. Wen Wan, the heroine who is always put to death and then reborn, when will she die completely
"Madam, please forgive me for talking too much." On the way out of the mansion, Ji Man whispered to Liu Hanyun: "Being kind to your opponent is being cruel to yourself. Madam wants to save a snake, but beware of being bitten by a snake. She seems to be serious now." Amnesia will not threaten Ji's life, so Ji has nothing to say. If she is found to be faking, then no matter what, Ji will not keep her in order to save his life."
Liu Hanyun was slightly taken aback, pursed his lips and nodded: "I understand."
Back at the food store, as soon as Ji Man sat down, Yan Buba came to see her with some injuries.
"What's the matter?" Ji Man was at a loss, she still didn't know about Yan Buba's arrest in the prison.
"Yesterday, the government arrested me and sent me to the sky prison. I was punished with three lashes and five lashes." Yan Buba calculated, "Later, they apologized and released me. They said it was a misunderstanding. I played drums at the gate of the yamen." I complained, and got twenty taels of silver as compensation, excluding medical expenses, I made a net profit of nineteen taels."
Ji Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he dared to feel that Yan Buba was implicated by her yesterday, and he was lucky to be able to calculate how much he earned.
"In addition, early this morning, Liu Ji, Rong Ji and other grain companies have sent over all the tenant contracts." Yan Buba put away his abacus and said, "I have already asked them, and they will not take any money. I only hope that you will protect me in the future. I don’t even know what happened here.”
Ji Man immediately stood up: "Where is the contract?"
Yan Buba held up a box, and there was a thick stack of contracts inside, and Ji Man counted them, there were more than five hundred contracts.
How many food shopkeepers are crazy? To give her the contract just like that? Ji Man was a little dazed, and only remembered what happened yesterday after he slapped his head.
Those old men wanted to use the Minister of the Household Department to suppress her, but they were frightened stupid by a group of royal relatives and high-ranking officials. They were afraid of her revenge, so they simply sent all the contracts over to prevent her from swallowing their food in a fit of anger. up
If you think too much, those people just drop by here for a meal, and they won't really help her with anything, it seems to scare them.
Yan Buba smiled and calculated: "Because of the actions of the major shopkeepers, you earned thousands of taels of silver overnight. Our capital is sufficient, and the contracts of these tenants can be fulfilled. All the grain can be brought into Ji’s granary. The rest of the grain stores have signed a contract, and the grain will be shipped to them at a unit price lower than the market price.”
Ji Man was really touched, Ning Yuxuan helped her so much, it's time to send him some gifts.
After thinking for a while, Ji Man got up and said, "I'll go to the street, you will take care of the grain store, and by the way, help me arrange a few shopkeepers to have dinner together in the evening."
"Okay." Yan Buba nodded.
The weather is fine today, Ji Man just wants to go out for a stroll, and buy a gift for Ning Yuxuan by the way. Sending gifts from top to bottom is a matter of sophistication. For a high official like Mo Yuhou, she should naturally give gifts.
You don't have to worry too much about gifts, just go to the jade shop and buy whatever is expensive. Ji Man looked down at the pieces of high-quality jade carefully, and saw a pair of purple jade in the corner of his eyes.
Purple jade pendants are really rare, this jade pendant is still a semi-finished product, there is no lettering on it.
"Master, you have a good eye. This purple jade is rare in the world. This is the only pair in our store. They are the treasures of the store." The shopkeeper came over and said: "You can engrave whatever you want on the top."
"How much?" Ji Man took a piece and put it in his hand, his tentacles were warm.
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and said, "One piece is one thousand taels, but two yuan is only 1,500 taels for you."
Ji Man almost threw this thing out.
One thousand taels? A broken piece of jade? Why not just grab it
"Be careful." The shopkeeper quickly took the jade from her hand and muttered, "This jade is already rare, and the price is already very low."
Ji Man took a slow breath, wanting to look at other things. But once he looked at that purple jade, and then looked at the others, he lost interest.
"Two pieces are 1,500 taels, shouldn't one piece be 750 taels?" Ji Man asked distressedly.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, one piece costs one thousand taels."
"You're not against Pei!" Ji Man gritted his teeth.
"But this is the rule of our store." The shopkeeper said: "Buy more and get more free, and buy less will naturally be more expensive."
Ji Man is hesitant to buy one, it's too expensive. But buying two yuan is more expensive, she is still not willing to give such an expensive thing to Ning Yuxuan, even if he is in charge of six!
"I'll take another one."
A person who stood at the door for a long time finally spoke.
Ji Man was startled, and when he looked back, Ning Mingjie walked in with Chang Shan, wearing a normal uniform.
The shopkeeper burst into laughter when he heard it: "Hey, that's fine, you two can buy it together, it's also a pair of 1,500 taels."
Ji Man didn't react, Ning Mingjie was already standing beside her, looked at the jade pendant and said, "Since it's a semi-finished product, it must be engraved. What do you want to engrave?"
"Don't worry about it, my lord." Ji Man took half a step back: "This is to be given as a gift, so you don't need to think too much about it."
give away? Ning Mingjie pursed his lips slightly: "A gift for someone should not be a half-finished product."
"Yeah." Ji Man nodded, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Just carve the word 'Ning'."
Then decisively went to give his share of the silver ticket.
Chang Shan also went to pay the banknote, Ning Mingjie looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I don't need to engrave mine."
The shopkeeper took the banknotes and laughed so hard that he lost his eyes. Whatever the customer said, he would naturally be good. There is a master carver in the shop, and Ji Man can get the jade after waiting for half an hour.
"I heard that things are going well recently." Ning Mingjie didn't intend to leave after taking the jade, but just looked at her deeply: "It's been a long time since we last said goodbye."
Ji Man pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Yes."
Then the two fell silent. Chang Shan stood behind Ning Mingjie holding the jade box, and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to choose something else for Madam?"
Ning Mingjie nodded: "You can choose one at will."
Ji Man raised her eyebrows: "The general is here to buy something for Madam?"
"Well, it's her birthday." Ning Mingjie said indifferently: "It's just that she is going to live in the palace, and the Ministry of War happened to be unable to accompany her because of something, so I gave her something."
Why do you want to spend your birthday in the palace? Ji Man is a little strange, but Princess Kang Yuan is said to have a very good relationship with the emperor's brother and sister, so why bother with so many others.
Ji Man continued to wait for the jade pendant, and Ning Mingjie also quietly waited for Chang Shan to choose something.
A carriage passed by outside and stopped abruptly. Xiao Tianyi looked out from the car window, smiled at the people behind him and said, "Look, is that Mr. Ji from your family?"
I was still saying hello to him just now, but now I saw it. Ning Yuxuan borrowed the seat to look outside, and it was indeed Ji Man in the shop.
But, why is Ning Mingjie here
"That's interesting." Xiao Tianyi said with a light smile, "If there is a good show in the palace, how about borrowing your husband's hand and asking General Ning to have a look?"
