All the time, all sounds are silent.
The lights in Wu's house have been extinguished, and only the one in the side courtyard is left.
A figure suddenly leaped from outside the wall and stopped lightly in the courtyard.
In the next room, there is a bed on the left and right. On the bed on the left, Snow Bamboo, who was sleeping soundly with his pillow in his arms, opened his eyes, picked up the broom next to him, and walked out the door.
The person on the other bed woke up, but he didn't open his eyes.
It's so cold, it's so hard to get up at night. Besides, with Xuezhu around, he doesn't seem to need to be too loyal.
Xuezhu thought to herself that she might have to sweep her head again in the middle of the night, but as soon as she went out, she found that the person who came was the incense next to the three girls.
Then you can't scan.
Xuezhu couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed now.
Are you glad that you don't sweep your head at night, or are you disappointed that you don't sweep your head at night.
Xuezhu carried the broom back to the room, and picked up several dead leaves while passing by.
Wanxiang glanced at Xuezhu, and then glanced out the window at Wu Weian's room.
Under the candlelight, Wu Weian's shadow was reflected on the window. He rested his chin in one hand and was reading a book.
Wanxiang saw this and quickly left the Wu family.
Wu Weian didn't lift his eyelids in the room.
He's used to it, these days, the three girls from the Ji family will send maids to follow them every now and then.
Sometimes it's early in the morning, sometimes it's midnight like now.
He also finally understood how the third girl of the Ji family managed to save her wealth.
It is estimated that she has been so stalking before, so what kind of business can't be done
When Wanxiang came back, Ji Yunxi hadn't slept yet.
As the end of the year is approaching, there are many things that need to be managed, whether at a pawnshop or an auction house or at home.
Ji Yunxi had asked the shopkeepers of pawnshops and auction houses to report the situation of the year.
She has to decide how many red envelopes to give them this year based on the harvest of the year and the performance of her subordinates on weekdays.
The modern equivalent of a year-end bonus.
If you want to recruit talented people, and want your subordinates to work hard on weekdays, how to give a good number is a science.
Ji Yunxi felt distressed for giving too much.
She is not a good person, she has always set her own position clearly, she is a businessman, and businessmen value profits.
If you give less, you are afraid that the employees will run away or relax on weekdays.
"Miss." Wanxiang blessed Ji Yunxi, "The eldest son is still reading at night with the lights on."
Ji Yunxi nodded: "I see, go and rest."
Wan Xiang said yes and left the room.
Ji Yunxi stopped the pen in her hand, and she was in a good mood.
It is very difficult for other people to get a first grade, and it is not something that can be achieved with hard work.
But for Wu Weian, as long as he really works hard, it is still very interesting.
In the past few days, Wu Weian has indeed woken up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs.
Then she was at ease.
There are more than a dozen pawnshops and auction houses in the entire Shangjing City, and there are others in various places.
Ji Yunxi calculated the year-end bonus for one day, and only completed one third of it.
But there was still time, Ji Yunxi packed up his things and was ready to rest.
"Third sister! Are you asleep?!" Ji Mingyan's clear and excited voice came from outside the door.
Ji Yunxi did not hesitate to blow out the light: "Sleep."
Ji Mingyan had already opened the door, and ran over to turn the lights on again: "I knew you weren't asleep yet!"
Ji Yunxi sitting beside the bed: "..."
Several brothers in the family, since Ji Yunxi grew up, will be very careful, and will not disturb her at night when it is not necessary, let alone enter her boudoir so late.
Only the sixth brother was an accident.
In Brother Six's mind, there is no distinction between men and women, only whether he wants to find them or not.
And Ji Yunxi felt that the sixth brother didn't understand the love between men and women at all, and he didn't need it. He only needs to have his bottles and jars, a kitchen where he can cook, and someone who can taste his cooking skills.
Ji Yunxi was expressionless: "It's so late, sixth brother, what's the matter with you?"
Ji Mingyan sat down beside Ji Yunxi's bed, pulled her sleeves, his eyes sparkling: "I just made a pot of soup in the courtyard kitchen..."
As soon as he spoke, Ji Yunxi knew what he was going to say, and interrupted directly: "You know, I don't eat at night."
"Oh, brother six knows, so I kept the soup outside and didn't bring it in for you." Ji Mingyan bit his lip, "It's just, third sister. I gave the eldest brother a bowl and the seventh brother. One bowl, but I still have one bowl left, do you really not drink it?"
Ji Yunxi: "Don't drink."
Ji Mingyan worked hard to promote his soup: "Big brother has finished drinking it, and he said it tastes good."
Ji Yunxi hummed in her heart, over the years, her elder brother's stomach has been reinforced, and he has no fear, no sorrow or joy.
Ji Mingyan continued: "The seventh brother has also finished drinking."
Ji Yunxi glanced at the sixth brother. Who in the manor doesn't know that Ji Ming's double heart is the softest. If you coax a little, the seventh brother will do it
Ji Yunxi made a final decision: "I really don't drink it, you let others drink it."
Ji Mingyan is a person who can switch between extreme enthusiasm and extreme coldness. Similarly, the soup he carefully cooks is not for everyone to drink.
For others to drink, he might as well fall.
As for his own drinking, he never drinks what he boils or eats what he cooks.
Ji Mingyan was very distressed, and broke his fingers: "Sanmei, you don't know how much good things this soup consumes from me. I put a lot of the Danzhi you bought last time. And my thousand-year-old ginseng, I also put half a fairy jade pill..."
Ji Yunxi: "..."
Okay, that is to say, this bowl of soup is worth a lot.
Ji Mingyan looked at the face of the third sister, seeing that she seemed to be loose, and hurriedly said: "I'll bring it in for you!"
"No." Ji Yunxi still refused.
Many years ago, the sixth brother used this method to coax her into drinking a bowl of soup. Ji Yunxi still had lingering fears about the indescribable taste.
She makes money for enjoyment, to eat the best food and drink the best.
Instead, it's the worst drink...
However, Ji Yunxi didn't want to waste it, so she thought of the cash cow she was studying hard at night.
Ji Yunxi curved the corners of her lips.
Ji Mingyan subconsciously sat further away.
He was never afraid of the cold face of his third sister, but he was more afraid of her laughing.
With a smile, someone must suffer.
Ji Yunxi turned her head and said to him: "Sixth brother, if you are not sleepy now, you can send this soup to An Lang. He is studying hard now, and he is still reading and not sleeping at this point. Besides, you This soup uses a good panacea, and now An Lang needs nourishment, isn’t it just right?”
Ji Mingyan's eyes lit up and patted his head: "Yes, why did I forget my brother-in-law!"
He stood up abruptly: "I'll give it to him!"
"Wait." Ji Yunxi stopped him and added meaningfully, "Sixth brother, you have to tell An Lang what you used to make this soup."
Ji Mingyan said ok, he didn't worry about why he said it, and left in a hurry.
Ji Yunxi blew out the light, lay down comfortably, and soon fell asleep.
-
"This is?"
Wu Weian looked at the dark bowl of soup on the table, most of his sleepiness disappeared.
Ji Mingyan dragged a chair and sat down beside him: "I made it specially tonight, I just named it on the way here, it's called Chunwei Yijia Soup!"
Wu Weian: "..."
Ji Mingyan continued: "Mingshuang also drank it. Like you, he is a candidate for the first class in the spring of next year! So brother-in-law, drink it quickly, I'll watch you drink it."
Wu Weian: "..."
Wu Weian has always relied on his invincible physique to eat and drink everything except acid.
After all, before he came to the capital, he traveled all over the place, slept and slept in the open air, and he had no money, so he didn't choose, just eat what he could.
But he was also a little scared at the moment.
He seemed to smell something sour.
Wu Weian tentatively said: "I seem to smell the smell of ebony?"
Ji Mingyan's eyes lit up and he was very excited: "Brother-in-law, you are amazing! I did add ebony, and I also added some schisandra and hawthorn!"
Wu Weian smiled apologetically: "Sixth brother, I'm really sorry, I have never been able to eat sour."
Ji Mingyan said, "Can't you eat sour?"
Wu Weian nodded, closed the lid and pushed it back: "Sixth brother's thoughts, I understand."
Ji Mingyan was a little annoyed: "I knew I would not add these, don't worry, I will remember your taste in the future."
Wu Weian's smile was a little light.
The more Ji Mingyan thought about it, the more pity he felt. Suddenly, he remembered what the third sister told him.
Ji Mingyan then said: "But this soup is very good for you. Originally, I cooked this soup for Sanmei, but Sanmei gave it to you, saying that you need more than her brother-in-law."
Wu Weian: "?"
Ji Mingyan repeated the formula he told Ji Yunxi to his brother-in-law.
Wu Weian: "??"
Danzhi
Millennium ginseng
Half a fairy jade pill
How many people in these rivers and lakes dreamed of the elixir that Ji Yunxi and her sixth brother used to cook soup
If Qin Lao knew, he would probably cry.
This Jifu is rich in the end.
Wu Weian took the soup back and put on a moved expression: "Miss Yun has such a heart, I can't live up to her. Don't worry, Brother Six, I will definitely drink this soup."
It just so happened that he also felt that he went to bed late and got up early these days, studying every day, and his body was a little weak.
Ji Mingyan stayed for a while longer, watched his brother-in-law suffocate the soup, closed the door happily and left.
He is very excited now, not sleepy at all.
Just after passing the kitchen, Ji Mingyan stopped.
He has always been very interested in the kitchen, just like a lecherous man who can't move when he sees a brothel, Ji Mingyan doesn't want to leave when he sees the kitchen.
Ji Mingyan has never been bound by secular etiquette, and he doesn't think it's wrong to go to other people's kitchens without permission.
No, in his mind, his brother-in-law was already his Ji family.
Then the kitchen of my brother-in-law's house is his kitchen.
Ji Mingyan opened the door and walked in.
He didn't find it, and on the side, someone flashed by, and the round-faced steward appeared in front of Wu Weian: "Master, I went to the kitchen."
The kitchen is the private place of the cook at home, no one will go in, and if they go, they will be scolded by the cook.
Wu Weian looked at the book calmly, and when he heard the words, he only asked, "Is there any sugar at home?"
Round face in charge: "?"
Since the young master said so, it means that it is not important for Ji Mingyan to enter the kitchen.
The round face is in charge: "You should have it, young master."
The young master is the youngest son of the master and his wife, and he is only three years old now.
Wu Weian turned over a page of the book: "Go and steal a piece for me."
Round face in charge: "??"
-
Xuezhu stood outside the kitchen, watching Ji Mingyan rummaging inside, making all kinds of bang bang bang pong sounds.
He went outside the kitchen door, hesitated for a long time, and gently pushed open a crack.
Inside, the aunt was sleeping soundly.
At the same time, the room was also messy.
Xuezhu's hand holding the broom was about to move, but he didn't dare.
In the past, when the cook came to the house to cook, Xuezhu volunteered to clean up the cook's room.
As a result, it didn't take long for him to suddenly become red and swollen, and abscesses appeared all over his body.
The cook was furious when she found out, and after curing him, she pointed at him and scolded him for three months.
Said he had swept away all her treasures.
After that, Xuezhu never dared to enter the kitchen and room of the cook.
Xuezhu took a stone out of his arms and threw it precisely at the person who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
The aunt bounced off the bed directly, and Xuezhu quickly returned to the room.
Auntie sat on the bed with her eyes closed, reacted for a moment, covered her blood-seeing forehead, and scolded: "Which dog . Who is in my kitchen in the middle of the night?!"
She immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed, ran straight towards the kitchen, kicked open the kitchen door, and just happened to meet Ji Mingyan, who was cat-hunting inside.
Ji Mingyan was rummaging through the boxes, and the more he turned, the more excited he became.
Because he dug up a lot of good things, and he also had many of those good things. Of course there were some, he had never seen or heard, but he knew it was the best thing. Of course, there are some good things about him that are not in this kitchen.
But none of this matters, what matters
He is the owner of this kitchen. Like him, he has superb poison skills, and he has a pure heart dedicated to developing new poisons!
Is his like-minded ah!
Ji Mingyan just wanted to give each other a warm hug, but countless poisonous fans came in his face.
He was instantly fascinated in front of him, and he kept sneezing: "Ah-Ah-Ah-"
The cook was so angry that she sprinkled all the poisonous powder on the person, like a goddess scattered flowers.
Whoever trespasses into her kitchen, die!
But she didn't expect that the other party only sneezed, and there was nothing abnormal other than that.
And soon, there are also poisons of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple. Pink came towards her.
She was even more angry, and the other party was even more angry when she saw this.
In the kitchen, for a while, dust filled the air.
Cook: "You son of a bitch-Ahie-bred-Ahie-grandma's-Ahie-"
Ji Mingyan: "I see your age—Ahie—Older than me—Ahie—I'll call you Ajie—Ahie—Is it okay—Ahie—"
The cook: "Go to the old lady-Ahie-Who's your sister-Ahie-You are only old and your whole family is big-Ahie-"
Ji Mingyan: "Sister-Ahie-your poison is used well-Ahie-"
Cook: "Bullshit-Ahie-Old mother will use poison in the mother's womb-Ahie-eat more poison than your rice-Ahh-"
Ji Mingyan: "Wow, sister, you're amazing—Ahie—Are you the master who helped my brother-in-law crush the golden toad—"
"Brother-in-law?" The cook gave her poisonous action for a while. She squinted and looked at the opposite side, only to find that she looked familiar, "You are the sixth brother of the third girl!"
Ji Mingyan also stopped, and kept nodding: "Yes, yes, it's me, it's me."
He also looked at each other.
The other party was wearing coarse cloth with patches on it, and his face was plain looking, looking like he was in his thirties, but his eyes were very clear and agile.
Like him, he has good-looking eyes.
Sure enough, people who love poison have beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, an idea jumped into his mind, and Ji Mingyan asked excitedly, "Sister, are you the poisonous lady on the rivers and lakes!"
The cook patted the poisonous powder on her clothes, and she raised her head when she heard this: "Well, it's the old lady."
It's not easy, it's really not easy.
She had been living in the back house of the Wu family for so many years, and finally someone mentioned her name and looked at her with such adoring eyes.
As for her self-declaration, will she be blamed by the son? No, since the son let Ji Mingyan into her kitchen, it means that her identity does not need to be concealed.
The cook almost wanted to akimbo, raised her head and laughed.
But before she could react, Ji Mingyan rushed towards her.
The cook is not only good at poison, but thanks to the cultivation of the young master over the years, Qinggong has also made great progress, which is very good.
You know, the son has always valued the lightness of his subordinates.
After all, you can run fast only if you have light gong, and running fast is very important.
The cook swiped the ground and avoided it, furious: "You attacked me?!!"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, the cook started the dust war again.
She threw all the poison in her body at the other party.
Ji Mingyan was stunned for a while, then excitedly picked up.
The two began to frantically sprinkle poison on each other, and they sprinkled it extremely heartily, and even showed a little sympathy for each other.
How should I put it, in the two people's drug use career, basically they spilled so much, and the other party bleeds to death.
I can only sprinkle a little bit every time, which is really not enjoyable.
Soon, dust was accumulating on the kitchen floor.
Xuezhu stood far away, staring, his eyes were red.
I want to sweep, I want to sweep, I want to sweep...
But poisonous, poisonous, poisonous...
Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous…
-
The next day, when Ji Yunxi opened his eyes, he was greeted by Sixth Brother's dark circles, but his eyes became brighter.
Ji Yunxi: "..."
Fortunately, after so many years, she has gotten used to it, and her heart has become much stronger.
Seeing that his sister finally woke up, Ji Mingyan grabbed Ji Yunxi's wrist through the quilt, and his hands trembled: "Third sister, I found the poisonous lady!"
Ji Yunxi: "Oh."
Ji Mingyan was excited: "Third sister, do you know who that poisonous lady is?"
Ji Yunxi: "Who is it?"
Ji Mingyan: "It's my brother-in-law's cook!"
Ji Yunxi: "Wow, what a coincidence."
Ji Mingyan: "Yeah, what a coincidence! I have to thank you, Sanmei. If you didn't fall in love with my brother-in-law, I might not have found the poisonous lady so quickly! Sanmei, you are so kind!"
Ji Yunxi: "Thank you sixth brother."
Ji Mingyan: "Third sister, do you want sixth brother to make you breakfast? What do you want to eat?"
Ji Yunxi: "...No need."
Ji Yunxi was patient and used the two disciplines of perfunctory and refusal, and finally persuaded Ji Mingyan to go back to sleep.
This is her experience over the years. Her sixth brother's brain circuit is very strange. Ordinary people can't understand his thoughts and behaviors. It is useless to reason with the world.
As for the fact that the cook is a poisonous lady, Ji Yunxi is not surprised at all.
There are only four servants in the Wu family.
She personally went to Wu's house to see that the four servants' rooms surrounded Wu Weian faintly in the middle.
Therefore, none of those four could be ordinary people.
Ji Yunxi was served by her personal maid, washed and dined, and continued the year-end bonus that was not completed yesterday.
Time is busy, and the day goes by quickly.
Soon, it will be New Year's Eve.
Before dawn, Ji Yunxi got up.
On this day every year, she would go out very early to visit pawnshops, auction houses, and farmhouses one by one and hand out money to everyone.
And the shopkeepers of the pawnshops, auction houses, and farmhouses would also get up early on this day, clean the storefronts, and wait for Ji Yunxi to come over.
In their minds, Ji Yunxi occupies a very important position, being their parents.
The shopkeeper respectfully handed the well-organized ledger and the inventory list to Ji Yunxi: "Please take a look at the three girls."
Ji Yunxi took it, flipped it over, and handed over a bag of money.
At the same time, Baofu and Wanxiang behind them were also busy giving money to the guys standing.
Ji Yunxi looked at everyone: "This year, everyone has worked hard. Let's go back and have a good year. Next year, I have to trouble everyone to continue working hard."
Holding the heavy silver bag in his hands, the guys were very happy, and Ji Yunxi collected a bag of all kinds of sincere blessings.
After the walk, it was already dark.
Ji Yunxi didn't go back to Ji's house, but went to Wu's house first.
Her biggest business at the moment, she has to take a good look at it.
Ji Yunxi first went to greet the elders of Wu's parents, brought many new year gifts, and also asked Baofu to hand over a big red envelope to the young master and the four treasures of the study to the second young master.
Lord Wu accepted it generously, and asked his wife to give Ji Yunxi a red envelope and a bracelet.
It's not expensive, but it's the best thing the Wu family can come up with.
Ji Yunxi accepted it, thanked him, and went to the side courtyard.
She asked Baofu and Wanxiang to send red envelopes to the four servants of the Wu family, and pushed open Wu Weian's door by herself.
Inside the door, Wu Weian was reading a book.
Hearing the movement, he raised his eyes and glanced, and after seeing Ji Yunxi, he lowered his head and continued to read.
These days, Ji Yunxi would make time to come over every once in a while.
She didn't do anything, just like now, she sat down on the noble chair beside her.
Then, watch him read a book.
The noble chair was brought over by Ji Yunxi, and there was no one in Wu Weian's room originally.
She leaned against it comfortably, took the last time and threw it aside, and read half of the miscellaneous books.
In fact, Wu Weian shouldn't need her to stare, she knew that for money, he would be serious.
Facts have proved that he is indeed going to bed late and getting up early these days.
But Ji Yunxi likes to stare.
In the past, when the Ji family's pawnshop business had just started, Ji Yunxi would also sit there every three or five minutes.
A long time ago, when she was still in modern society, she would visit from time to time the new companies she invested in.
It's nothing, thinking of the money these will bring to herself in the future, she feels very good-looking.
It will be very happy to see, very reassuring.
The author has something to say: The inexplicable brain-filling male protagonist hummed "Why am I so good-looking! What should I do if I am so good-looking!", which made me laugh.
