Seeing this, Baofu, who was originally by Ji Yunxi's side, walked over to Wu Weian without saying a word and looked at him with a fierce look on his face.
Wu Weian picked up the fine china and played with it, Baofu stared intently.
Wu Weian grabbed a handful of beads from the box full of big and small night pearls, and Baofu stared intently.
Wu Weian squatted in front of the box full of agate treasure bracelets and couldn't put it down, while Baofu stared condescendingly.
Wu Weian sighed, feeling that the world is really boring.
He got up and walked towards Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi stood in front of the shelf full of calligraphy and paintings, holding the scroll painting in his hand, frowning slightly as if he was recognizing something.
Wu Weian stopped by her side and glanced at her, and asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yunxi looked at the upper right corner of the painting, where a few lines of words were inscribed, and the artist's seal was stamped at the end.
The handwriting of these painters was scribbled, and the letters were not recognizable. Ji Yunxi didn't understand who the painting belonged to after looking at it for a long time.
She pursed her lips, her face became colder, and she looked at him subconsciously.
She thought he might know. But for her to ask directly, that would be impossible.
Ji Yunxi thought for a while, then said lightly, "What do you think of this painting?"
This is a picture of bamboo and stone. Bamboo seems to be freehand, but everything is exquisite. It can be seen that the painting is exquisite and the artistic conception is also excellent.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless people who have painted bamboo, but the most respected and loved by everyone is Mr. Greetings from the previous dynasty.
Mr. An's paintings are hard to find.
But the money in his wife's hands is more than a thousand gold. He still doesn't know how much net worth she has, but it is more than a thousand gold anyway.
So Wu Weian was not surprised that the painting fell into her hands.
He praised: "Ask Mr. Ann's bamboo and stone pictures, naturally very good."
Ji Yunxi's eyes widened and she nodded, "I think it's great too."
Occasionally in his spare time, Wu Weian also paints. And deep down, he actually likes to collect the calligraphy and paintings of these famous artists, but these calligraphy and paintings are of great value, and he has more than enough power.
He can't afford such a hobby that demands money.
but-
Wu Weian glanced at Ji Yunxi's face and always felt that she was a little happy at the moment.
Moreover, she has been admiring this painting for some time. It is possible that she also likes this bamboo and stone painting by Mr. Ann.
Wu Weian's lips slightly hooked: "Speaking of which, have you seen the picture of the mountains that I hung in the room?"
Ji Yunxi nodded.
Wu Weian put his hands behind his back and looked at the bamboo and stone picture, the more he liked it: "When I arranged the wedding room earlier, I felt that there was a lack of a painting there. But I didn't find a suitable one, so I just painted a hanging one by myself. Up. But now, I think this bamboo and stone picture is more suitable."
Ji Yunxi put the painting away and put it back in its original place: "This painting will be auctioned at Kaitai Village in five days, you can come and take it."
Wu Weian: "???"
After a pause, Ji Yunxi glanced at him and added: "Of course, you have to be rich first."
Wu Weian: "..."
Wu Weian persuaded: "Mr. Yun, ask Mr. An's paintings if you can't find them, don't you really want to take them home and hang them?" After all, she lives in that house herself.
Ji Yunxi shook her head: "I think your picture of mountains is pretty good."
Wu Weian had mixed feelings for a while: "...Thank you."
Ji Yunxi explained to the guy next to him, "You have someone to go to Ji Mansion and tell my eldest brother that there is a bamboo and stone painting of Mr. Wen'an in Kaitai Village. If he wants it, remember to take it in five days."
The guy didn't seem surprised, so he hurriedly responded.
Wu Weian was stunned for a moment: "Did you ask eldest brother to shoot?"
"Yeah." Ji Yunxi replied, "Big brother loves to collect calligraphy and paintings. He wanted to ask about Mr. An's paintings for a long time. He asked me to pay attention to whether there are any in Kaitai Village a few days ago."
Wu Weian didn't understand: "Why don't you send it directly?"
"Brothers will settle accounts." Ji Yunxi glanced at his hand hanging beside him, "and the items to be auctioned in Kaitai Village can't be moved at will, this is the rule."
Aware of her gaze, Wu Weian subconsciously turned to the side: "Oh, that's good."
Ji Yunxi stretched out her hand. Her five fingers were slender, and her nails were well shaped, neither too long nor too short, with a light green that had just been dyed.
She looked neither sad nor happy, and said in a sure tone, "Take it out."
Wu Weian looked up at the sky, and put the Ye Mingzhu, which had been hidden between the belly of his left finger for a while, into her palm.
The two touched their fingertips slightly, and then left.
The night pearl is small, but extremely shiny, which is very suitable for making women's hairpins.
Ji Yunxi handed it to Baofu, Baofu accepted it, gave Wu Weian a hard look, and put the night pearl back.
She kept staring at it all the time to prevent Uncle from taking it again, but why did Uncle still take it! Day and night defense, home thieves are difficult to prevent!
The two walked towards the door.
Wu Weian sighed: "You are too sensitive when it comes to money."
Ji Yunxi reached out and touched her bun, but said nothing but a slight smile.
"Actually, it's okay to give you a night pearl." Ji Yunxi got into the carriage, "I'm quite happy that the Feng family is gone."
Wu Weian moved for a while, then followed him into the carriage as usual, sat down beside her, sat upright, and raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Ji Yunxi explained in a rare way: "But the things in the warehouse should not be tampered with. Every item and every golden leaf is registered in the register, and there are traces to follow. If you can take it at will, it will be easy to mess up."
Wu Weian: "Well."
It means that she is just talking about it, giving it or not giving it.
Judging from the fact that her eldest brother had to pay for the calligraphy and painting himself, his wife was not easy to take advantage of.
Wu Weian now understands that Ji Yunxi is rich, yes, but she sucks.
Before marriage, she was so generous that she lied to him.
Wu Weian sighed lightly and poured himself a cup of tea.
And only poured himself a cup of tea.
Ji Yunxi glanced at him and murmured in her heart.
childish.
The two were speechless all the way.
After going back for dinner, Wu Weian held a large stack of letters brought by the round-faced steward, sat at the table and read them one by one, and sealed them back.
And his wife held the ledger and leaned on the beauty's couch to plan the order.
The abacus is crackling, and the five fingers are fast.
Wu Weian glanced calmly, thinking, the more money is better, the abacus beads will be blown away by her.
It was still early, and the door to the two of them was not closed.
Baofu held a stack of clothes and walked in.
Ji Yunxi treats Wanxiang and Baofu very well, as long as her door is open, she acquiescely allows the two maids to come in and out at will without having to greet her.
Baofu lightly passed by the young lady who was planning to cook, and walked to the uncle who was writing a book.
Wu Weian raised his head: "Is something wrong?"
Baofu put the clothes in his hands aside, held his hands in front of his stomach, stretched his blessed face, and moved his hanging eyebrows, his words were eloquent: "These clothes are fresh from the ready-to-wear store. The ones sent here match your figure. The garments made by the clothing store for the uncle are estimated to be ready in ten days, so the uncle will wear them first."
Wu Weian's pen stopped, and he couldn't believe it for a while: "For me?"
"Yes." Baofu looked helpless to his young lady, "It was all explained by the young lady. The young lady also said that she will order a new carriage for you. It is estimated that the new carriage will take half a month to complete."
Suddenly, Wu Weian felt that Baofu in front of him was much more pleasing to the eye, and he smiled: "Thank you."
Baofu rolled his eyes, twisted his waist and walked away.
That's why her young lady is a good person, and she also paid for her uncle to make new clothes and buy a new carriage.
This uncle, the ancestral grave is really smoking.
Ji Yunxi has always been focused on her work. As long as she is immersed in it, she will directly ignore all the movements around her.
When she finished the calculation and turned around her slightly sore neck, she suddenly found that there was an extra cup of tea beside her.
The tea is still steaming slightly, and the tea fragrance is elegant.
*
The Fifth Prince's Mansion in Qinglongfang.
The man stretched out his hand, picked up the teacup, and shook it gently.
In the hall, the staff asked: "Your Highness, the Feng family is asking for help, do you need to help?"
The man laughed and said in a cold voice, "The Feng family is unfaithful. The first one was obviously the emperor's brother, but he wanted to rely on me. After you helped, how do you know that he would not rely on others in the future?"
The staff understood: "Yes."
The fifth prince said again: "But Feng Qishi was demoted, and the position of the censor was vacated. This is a good thing, we have to arrange for our people to go up."
The staff responded, and after a few words and a few arguments, they chose a plan.
The Fifth Prince listened nonchalantly and didn't interject much. It was the method proposed by the default staff.
After the chatter subsided, the fifth prince said, "What's happening with the Ji family recently?"
Staff: "Your Highness, apart from Ji Mingyuan returning to Shangjing, there is not much movement."
The fifth prince asked again, "Then Wu Weian, have you found anything?"
Staff: "Your Highness, our people specially rushed to Pingjiang to make an unannounced visit. As a result of the unannounced visit, there is nothing special about Wu Weian."
The fifth prince frowned: "Have you checked everything that can be checked?"
Staff: "Yes."
The fifth prince frowned even more: "No, continue to investigate. This person must have a secret."
The staff looked a little embarrassed: "Forgive the ignorance of the little ones, please show your Highness, how to check?"
Then Wu Weian, they have already checked everything they can check.
Even if you go to check it again, most of the results will be the same, and it will be in vain.
The fifth prince's face was as deep as water, and he was so oppressed that everyone in the hall did not dare to say a word, and all lowered their heads.
Fifth Prince: "If you can't find it in the past, find someone to follow. Foxes always show their tails."
The staff was careful: "Then Wu Weian is either in the Hanlin Academy or at home. There are people in the Hanlin Academy who have been watching, but it's nothing different. But at home, the third girl of the Ji family is there, and there are many people who protect her openly and secretly. Our people , it's hard to get close."
With a loud bang, the fifth prince smashed the tea cup directly.
Everyone in the hall did not dare to avoid it, and the first person directly hit the cup on the head, and it instantly became red and swollen.
Everyone was busy kneeling on the ground.
Just when everyone was in a panic, a woman pushed the door and entered.
The woman was wearing a veil and looked graceful: "Your Highness."
The fifth prince closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and returned to his gentle appearance: "You are here."
The woman walked through the crowd, went up step by step, and sat down next to the fifth prince: "Your Highness doesn't need to be angry, and there's no need to embarrass them." She glanced at everyone in the hall, "Then Wu Weian ran to the house after the Hanlin Academy, almost Don't go to other places. And the Wu family and Ji family are very close, and they are guarded by the three girls. It is really difficult for our people to detect anything. "
Fifth Prince: "I know, but I always feel that Wu Weian is wrong."
The woman pondered for a moment: "Wu Weian is wrong again, but the key to this matter is the Ji family. If the Ji family is not eliminated and the prince does not fall, our great cause will not be achieved."
Ji Yunxi is rich, Ji Mingshuang, Ji Mingyan, and Ji Mingyuan have traveled all over the world since childhood. Under the combination of the two, whether the Prince's side or the Ji family's side, there are masters secretly guarding them, and there is no way for them to do harm.
Ji Mingxi, as the official minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is a righteous person, and he has many good friends with officials and learned gentlemen.
The second master of the Ji family galloped on the battlefield, stationed in the frontier, and had countless soldiers under his command, and he was very prestigious in the army.
Therefore, although they have always been afraid of the Ji family, it is difficult to make a move.
Even the sage was a little wary, but he never found a suitable opportunity to attack.
The previous draft and the imperial examinations were originally good opportunities, but they were resolved time and time again by the Ji family.
The fifth prince asked her, "What method have you come up with?"
The woman smiled: "On the day the casino opened, I went to see it quietly. Fang Yuan was not quite right."
The fifth prince raised his eyebrows: "How?"
The woman leaned over and whispered a few words in the ear of the fifth prince.
The fifth prince's eyes flickered: "Just do as you said."
Then he looked at the Lord of the Punishment Department below, and said a few words.
Lord Xingbu was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously, "But that Fang Yuan is only a small butler, will the Ji family really take action?"
The fifth prince gave a similar look to the woman, he chuckled in a low voice, and his tone was very dissatisfied: "I let you stare at the Ji family for so many years, can you still not understand the Ji family?"
*
Half a month later, it was the end of June.
It's getting hot.
Today, Wu Bianxiu took a rest, and he got up a little late.
Ji Yunxi went back to Ji's house yesterday, and he slept at Ji's house at night, but he never came back.
Therefore, in this huge bed, only Wu Weian sleeps alone.
Satisfied, he rolled the bed over and over before he stretched out of the bed.
The location of Shangjing is good, and the heat in summer is still tolerable.
But even so, the Wu family had already used ice.
There was no other reason, just because Ji Yunxi was afraid of heat.
Although Ji Yunxi had returned to Ji Mansion, the maid in the courtyard continued to add the ice cubes in the house as usual.
They have to ensure that in this hot summer, the young lady's wing is always cool, so that the young lady can feel comfortable when she comes back.
This is greatly cheaper for Wu Weian.
Wu Weian has been living a very comfortable life recently.
Although he still had no money in his pocket, he followed Ji Yunxi to eat the best food, sleep on the most comfortable bed, and drink the most expensive tea.
And it's only summer, and it's already cooled with ice cubes.
This is so rare.
In the summer of a few years ago, he was so hot that he was sweating all over, and he had no money to use ice, so he could only boil it hard.
After Wu Weian brushed his teeth and washed his face, he passed by Ji Yunxi's beautiful couch.
Ji Yunxi's beauty couch, the blanket under it has been replaced with a good mat, and there are several comfortable pillows behind it.
Wu Weian sat down, leaned on the pillow, and sighed comfortably.
The maid that Ji Yunxi left behind brought him breakfast and put it beside the beauty's couch.
Her servants have a good attitude towards him, except for Na Baofu.
But now, that Baofu has followed her back to Ji's house, beautiful and beautiful.
Wu Weian leaned back comfortably, took the miscellaneous books that Ben Ji Yunxi was reading on weekdays, and flipped through them while eating breakfast.
It was just the content of the book, but he never thought of it, and he thought of some pictures out of thin air.
Ji Yunxi leaning on this beautiful couch.
She has always been reluctant to move, and when the weather is hot, she does not like to move even more. As long as she doesn't wander around the fields in the store, she usually huddles on the beauty's couch.
From time to time, I take food from the ice mirror next to it.
Wu Weian put down the miscellaneous books, leaned over and lifted the cover of the ice mirror.
When she was there, he was too embarrassed to look closely.
As soon as the result was opened, Wu Weian praised it in his heart.
In this ice mirror, there are all kinds of melons and fruits on ice, cut into rounds and pieces, in such a summer, people swallow subconsciously.
Moreover, there are several bowls of ice powder on the side
Wu Weian had never heard of Bingfen before, but he heard it while listening to her master and servant chatting a few days ago.
He didn't hesitate, reached for a bowl, and found that there were hawthorns in it.
But with hawthorn, there is also brown sugar.
Wu Weian picked it out for a long time, picked out the hawthorn, and put it into another bowl of ice powder.
Then he took a sip with a spoon.
As a result, he was shocked when he was surprised.
What kind of jelly is in this ice powder, full of Dangdang brown sugar, supplemented by raisins, small pieces of watermelon, wolfberry and other ingredients.
Naturally, there is also hawthorn. Although he picked out all the hawthorns, there were still some scraps left.
Wu Weian doesn't like sour, and never eats hawthorn.
But the hawthorn in the ice powder is so delicious, it is the finishing touch in the ice powder.
Wu Weian took the hawthorn from the past and brought it back again.
He finished eating happily, and before the bowl was put down, there was movement from outside the hospital.
Wu Weian immediately put the empty bowl into the ice mirror, closed the lid, and returned to its original state.
Ji Yunxi stepped in from the outside and saw Wu Weian sitting in her place.
Before she said anything, Wu Weian stood up consciously, touched his nose, and gave way.
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows, but did not sit back, but turned to the side to take something.
Seeing this, Wu Weian couldn't help but ask, "Are you still going out?"
Today he took a break.
"Yeah." Ji Yunxi nodded, "I haven't been to the casino for a few days, I plan to visit today."
"Casino?" Wu Weian quickly made a decision, "I'll go with you. I'm going to my casino too."
Ji Yunxi didn't refuse. She wanted to take something and leave, but when she saw it, she urged, "Then hurry up."
Wu Weian waved his hand: "It's okay, you go first. The new carriage was delivered last night, I just happened to try it."
Ji Yunxi looked at him with a speechless expression: "Alright."
Then she went away.
Wu Weian did not delay too long and went to the stable.
The wooden shop that made the new carriage was only responsible for the carriage, and they did not give away the horses, they had to match them themselves.
And Ji Yunxi seemed to have forgotten about it and never mentioned the horse.
Wu Weian didn't ask. He is now an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is also famous among scholars. Everyone called him Lord Wu, and they respected him very much. So asking for a horse from Mrs. Wu is not something that Master Wu can do.
As for the carriage, he didn't come by himself.
This is the mind of the lady.
Wu Weian took his slender horse and put the reins of the new carriage on the slender horse.
The new carriage was much more spacious than the old one, and naturally heavier.
But the thin horse didn't respond either, and as always, listlessly pulled the carriage and ran at the same speed as it pulled the carriage apart.
…
Ji Yunxi went to Dechang first.
It has to be said that Fang Yuan's methods are really powerful, and now Dechang is prosperously managed by him.
Fang Yuan took Ji Yunxi around and said, "I changed some rules not long ago when I was young. In the past, when the Feng family was operating, men were allowed to—" He paused, his eyes were a little dark, but he soon returned to normal. , "Wives and daughters are the bets, the little one has changed this one, and only accepts cash as bets."
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Very good."
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to turn with Ji Yunxi.
But suddenly, someone in the casino came to report: "Three girls, Fang Steward, a large number of arresters are coming here, and I don't know if they are coming to our casino."
Fang Yuan's complexion changed, and his entire face suddenly turned white.
Ji Yunxi glanced at him and frowned lightly.
Fang Yuan has a secret, she knows it, she can see it.
But Ji Yunxi never went into it, because everyone has their own secrets that they don't want to be known.
She only needs Fang Yuan to be able to run a casino well.
These days, Fang Yuan has never let her down, even better than she thought.
But now, I'm afraid something will happen.
Ji Yunxi did not panic, her expression remained calm, and she asked in a low voice, "Fang Yuan, what's the matter?"
Fang Yuan pursed his lips and looked around. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start for a while, and he seemed very hesitant.
And he didn't have the chance to say anything anymore. The fast catchers came very fast and broke into the casino in an instant, surrounding Fang Yuan and Ji Yunxi in the middle.
Wu Weian jumped off the carriage in front of the catcher, and without even having time to tie the reins, he ran into the gate of the casino and stood quietly beside Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi glanced at him.
He rubbed over and whispered: "The new carriage is not bad. But the horse is a little slow."
Ji Yunxi pursed her lips, ignored him, and looked forward.
The head of the catching fast, Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian, bowed: "Three girls, Master Wu, the yamen has received a report, and the manager Fang Yuan is suspected of murder. Please ask your subordinates to bring Fang Yuan back to the yazhong for interrogation."
Having said that, the other arresting knights have already stepped forward and walked towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan bit his lip and stood there, not even taking a half step back.
From that day on, he knew that there would be such a day, and he was worried every day. But when he arrived in Shangjing, he became a manager that he never dared to think about before. After managing eight stores, the past seems to have faded away. He thought that the mountains and rivers were far away, and this matter might be covered up from now on, and he could live a good life.
But in the end, he still couldn't escape.
No matter what, there are a few months in this life that belong to him only. He was also satisfied.
Fang Yuan bowed to Ji Yunxi: "The great kindness of the three girls is unforgettable. I—"
Ji Yunxi stretched out his hand, pulled his wrist, and pulled the man to him with force.
Fang Yuan was slender, a head shorter than her.
Ji Yunxi lowered her head and said in his ear, "Don't confess no matter what, leave the rest to me, and I will find a way."
Fang Yuan raised his head sharply: "Three girls—"
Before Fang Yuan said anything, he was arrested and quickly cut his hands back and held him down.
He turned back frequently and looked at Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi stood there with a distant gaze, watching Fang Yuan being taken away.
When she looked back, she found that the people around her had been staring at her.
Ji Yunxi didn't care much at first, but the other party's eyes were too intense, and she frowned when she saw her: "What?"
Wu Weian lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "You are a woman disguised as a man, shouldn't you be a man disguised as a woman?"
Ji Yunxi: "?"
The author has something to say: Wu Bianxiu: Madam's words are a bit sassy.
ps: Friendly reminder, the carriage is about to run. [dog head]
