Ji Mingyuan didn't see Ji Mingyan, so he picked up the draft and went back to the yard to feed the horses.
Ji Mingyan was so shocked that he stopped in place and didn't call him fifth brother.
He wandered in the back garden of Ji Mansion in a spirit of unwillingness, and his heart was really tangled.
Fifth brother, he didn't like to get along with people very much since he was a child, on the contrary, he likes small animals.
At that time, the mother was still alive. She was afraid that the fifth brother would be alone and lonely, so she gave the fifth brother a puppy.
But after a few years, the puppy died. The fifth brother was very sad and never kept any animals again.
After many years, the fifth brother brought back a horse, indicating that the fifth brother must like that horse very much.
Fifth brother stays alone all year round, it would be a great thing to have a horse to accompany him.
The problem is that the horse is the horse of the brother-in-law's house! Brother-in-law, he likes that horse very much too!
"what happened to you?"
Ji Mingshuang, who only came back from the Hanlin Academy late at night, saw Ji Mingyan, and suddenly spoke up.
Ji Mingyan raised his head, the moonlight fell on his face, sketching a bit of melancholy: "You don't understand."
Ji Mingshuang: "???"
Ji Mingshuang was speechless for a moment, then guessed: "Isn't it because you went to the Punishment Department during the day, what trouble did you cause?"
Ji Mingyan shook his head with a look of contempt: "Of course not, how could I possibly cause trouble?"
He looked at the seventh brother, thought about it, coughed a few times, and said with a very serious expression: "Mingshuang, the sixth brother asked you a question."
Ji Ming nodded: "You ask."
Ji Mingyan: "If one day, you need to choose between me and the fifth brother, who would you choose?"
Originally still listening carefully, Ji Mingshuang, who really thought that Ji Mingyan had encountered some problems, was going to think of a way for him: "..."
Ji Mingyan blinked his big eyes, still looking forward to Ji Mingshuang's answer.
Ji Mingshuang shook his head at Ji Mingyan, then shook his head again, trying to say something, but in the end he just said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."
Then he walked away step by step.
The Imperial Academy has been very busy recently, and he is tired.
While Ji Mingyan was still struggling, Wu's house, which was on a diagonal line with Ji's family, the round-faced steward and three servants in the family quietly left Wu's house and went outside the small courtyard of Liquanfang. .
Outside the wall, the four were hidden in the corner under the cover of the Shadowless Array.
The last quarter moon hangs in the corner of the sky, and the stars around it flicker and dim, which is faintly aligned with the orientation here.
Inside the wall, Fang Yuan's parents were old and had already entered the room to rest. The people of the fifth prince were guarding everywhere.
It was very quiet at this time, only to hear occasional drunken people passing by, muttering to themselves incomprehensible content.
The elites of the fifth prince were all guarded in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for the Ji family to throw themselves into the net.
Therefore, the people guarding here are inferior in martial arts, and only three are slightly better, but they are not enough to watch.
After all, in the eyes of the Fifth Prince and the women around him, the Fang family's parents are already of little use.
What's the use of the Ji family looking for the Fang family's parents? Their most promising youngest son was killed by the steward, and the feud of killing his son is not shared by the sky. Is it possible that he can still revise his confession
Besides, how can this matter be revoked? That Fang Yuan was indeed killed by the steward, but the body has not yet been found. But sooner or later, he will be found, and this manager will replace Fang Yuan's identity to go to Beijing to take the exam, but the evidence is overwhelming.
If the Ji family wanted to save the steward, the only way was to rob a prison.
Therefore, the people guarding the Fang family's parents were not too serious and lethargic.
Because no one thought that someone would go to great lengths to trouble the Fang family's parents.
At this time, the night was getting dark, and the night watchmen became more and more sleepy, more and more sleepy, and suddenly fell to the ground one by one.
"It's Mongolian sweat medicine!" The remaining three with the strongest martial arts missed the move, "Be careful!"
This Mongolian sweat medicine is the most common on the market, and its efficacy is not strong.
The poisonous lady had Ji Mingyan's specially made powerful version on hand, which the other party gave her, but she was useless.
After all, Ji Mingyan had this thing in his hands. And these people are not worthy of this powerful version. Ordinary enough.
The poisonous lady jumped down from the wall and changed to Xuezhu to get up.
He was like a ghost, like a leaf floating into the courtyard, and the remaining three held their swords back to back, trying to fight to the death with the hooded man in black.
I saw the other party took out his thick sword, walked with a light skill that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and patted the three people's heads, every shot was accurate.
The three of them were stunned to the ground, and their positions on the ground were a bit messy.
Xuezhu pushed the unconscious body with a thick sword, and pushed out the pattern of three people with their heads on their heads and their feet facing outwards.
One person's feet were close together, which was not the same as the other two's feet were slightly apart.
Xuezhu now remembers the son's teachings, and has learned to restrain his own faults.
He didn't care about the people around him who were blinded by the poisonous lady, and the people who were in a mess, floated into the Fang's parents' house.
The old man was getting old and had a light sleep, but when Xuezhu got to the bed, they woke up.
Before he could shout out, Xuezhu took a single shot as usual, and knocked them out.
Then he carried one on the left and one on the right, floating out of the wall.
Outside, three people are waiting for him.
The round-faced steward was paying attention to the movement around him, the poisonous lady was yawning, and the house master took out his pony from somewhere, and sat there with his head bowed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Seeing Xuezhu coming, the lord of the house put away the pony and put it in the snakeskin bag. The four of them left silently again and headed to the farm in the suburbs.
This is Ji Yunxi's farm.
Before the round-faced steward left, Wu Weian asked her where to put the people. She used the method of ordering soldiers to point to whoever is who, and pointed to this place in the shop, field and house in her hand. The steward of this farmhouse has worked under Ji Yunxi for a long time, and he is also a talented person from Ji's residence, so it is credible.
Ji Yunxi had already said hello, and the steward vacated a small courtyard that was the most remote in the village and no one would go to, and let Xuezhu lock people in.
Xuezhu put the old man and the old woman on the bed.
At this time, they were in a safe place and had plenty of time, so Xuezhu was very patient. He laid them flat on the bed and fine-tuned their limbs.
The round-faced steward, the poisonous lady, and the lord of the house were waiting beside him.
The poisonous lady chatted with the round-faced steward: "I heard that the madam gave the son two thousand taels! Yuan steward, do we have a share of the money?"
Yuan Guanshi put his hands behind his back and looked at the poisonous lady: "Yes."
"What is it? We all have a share? Is it true??!" The poisonous lady's voice suddenly became louder, she was very shocked and surprised. She just asked casually, because it was impossible. Who is that, that is their son! A gentleman who can give one penny and never give two!
The Lord of the House sat on his pony, with his hands down and his head down, not participating in the discussion.
Of course, he kept listening. But he felt that the little girl, Ah Du, was afraid that she was too happy.
Sure enough, Yuan Guan Shi rubbed his wrinkled face: "Young Master took out a thousand taels, let me first report the money that everyone was anxious to report some time ago, and the rest will be shared equally among the brothers who contributed this time."
The poisonous lady rubbed her hands together and was very excited: "How much can each person get?"
Yuan Guanshi: "I'll do the math. There are hundreds of brothers in the capital, and each of them will eventually get seven cents."
She has been raised by the family's wife, who blows ice cubes every day (yes, now everyone in the family blows ice cubes, whether it's the old lady in the yard or their servants), Sister Baofu From time to time, she also gives a few taels of silver to the poisonous lady who said her cooking skills are really good: "..."
The smile on her face disappeared instantly.
The master of the house said quietly: "Following the young master these years, when did he pay for his work? It's good, Qiwen is a lot more than I thought."
At the other end, Xuezhu adjusted the most standard sleeping position for the old man and the old woman, then pulled up the quilt and neatly spread over their bodies and covered their heads.
Everything is perfect.
Xuezhu got up and the four of them went home.
The poisonous lady glanced over there: "Xuezhu, your quilt is the same as covering the dead, are you sure they are still alive?"
Xuezhu replied earnestly, "That's how I sleep. I'm still alive."
The steward of the farmhouse waited for the four to leave, then hurriedly entered the room and pulled the quilt down a little.
These two people are still useful to the third girl, but it will be bad if they are suffocated.
*
It was already dark, and the candles were still lit in Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian's rooms.
Wanxiang knocked on the door and hurried in after getting the order.
Wu Weian sat at the table with his legs crossed, leaning idly on the back of the chair.
Holding a topographic map of a certain place in his hand, he lowered his head slightly, wondering what he was thinking.
Ji Yunxi huddled in the beauty's couch with miscellaneous books in her hand, but she did not turn a page. She raised her head and looked at Wanxiang's expression: "what's the matter?"
Wanxiang was blessed: "Miss, the flying pigeons in Xiangping are passing books. It's summer and the weather is hot. The warehouses of our four pawnshops accidentally caught fire."
Ji Yunxi's eyes narrowed, and she straightened up from the couch: "How is the fire? Are there casualties?"
Wanxiang: "The fire has been put out, but a lot of things were damaged, and a few guys were injured. But life is safe."
"That's good." Xiangping is in a dry and hot place, the temperature is high in summer, and it is easy to catch fire, which happens every year. Every year, we have to take precautions in advance, but in the end there will be accidents every year, Ji Yunxi explained, "The injured man must be settled, and the damaged things must be counted. If there is insufficient money in the pawnshop, it must be made up as quickly as possible. By the way, you should inform and let all shops in various places pay attention. In summer, it is easy to catch fire. Do not bring candles in places that are easy to catch fire. As for the shops around Xiangping, please do not light fires at night, and use night pearls instead. ."
"Yes, miss." Wanxiang led the way.
Wu Weian and the round-faced butler outside the window looked at each other for a while. After Wanxiang left, he turned his head and said to her, "They're back, and someone grabbed it."
Ji Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't reveal anything on her face: "That's fine, I'll be there early tomorrow."
After working in shopping malls for many years, she has not been able to learn the superb acting skills like Wu Weian, but she can still do it without showing her emotions.
Wu Weian put down the topographic map in his hand, got up and closed the window, and resisted the poisonous lady who stood outside looking at him for a long time, but dared not speak.
This poisonous lady is also a lover of money, so she is afraid to know that she can only make seven pennies for this trip.
Seven cents is not enough
Wu Weian stretched, walked to the bedside, leaned comfortably, took a miscellaneous book, and planned to turn a few pages and fall asleep.
This miscellaneous book belongs to Ji Yunxi, and it is really good to relieve boredom.
Ji Yunxi also got down from the beauty's couch. She pulled her embroidered shoes and walked to the end of the bed.
Wu Weian is tall and has long legs, and he shrunk his feet very consciously.
Ji Yunxi climbed into the bed from the end of the bed and sat on her site.
This marriage bed is huge and can sleep four or five people without any problem.
These days, Ji Yunxi slept the innermost and he slept the outermost, as if there was a galaxy in between.
Ji Yunxi knelt down on the other side of the Milky Way, while adjusting the quilt, she suddenly said, "You said you touched human skin?"
Wu Weian turned over a page of miscellaneous books: "Did I say so?"
Ji Yunxi looked at him: "You said it."
Wu Weian raised his head, looked back at her eyes, and suddenly became a little interested. He was blank: "Oh? Is it? I don't remember."
"When I gave you the wedding dress, you said that the brocade silk is several times smoother than the fair skin of a woman. I asked you if you had touched it, but you said no, and asked me if human skin counted." Ji Yun Shio originally repeated it to him.
Seeing her serious retelling, Wu Weian suddenly smiled: "It's rare that Yunniang remembers it so clearly, I remember it. I did touch it, what?"
Ji Yunxi nodded and asked again, "Then can you do it?"
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows: "You want me to be the skin of that Fang Yuan?"
Ji Yunxi: "Yes."
Wu Weian retracted his gaze and flipped through the miscellaneous books again: "I do too, and there are indeed a few human skins that are idle."
Ji Yunxi went straight to the point: "Then you make a price."
Wu Weian closed the miscellaneous books with a bang, and said loudly, "Eight thousand taels!"
Ji Yunxi did not blink: "Okay. How long do you want?"
Wu Weian threw the miscellaneous books back to the place: "The fastest three days, but you have to give me a portrait."
Ji Yunxi lifted the quilt and lay down: "I will give it to you when I come back from the farm tomorrow morning."
Wu Weian: "No problem."
The two reached an agreement and both lay down to sleep.
But Wu Weian couldn't sleep.
He loves to do it, but he doesn't want to waste human skin. But the price he offered was much higher than that of Jianghu, and no one would look for him. But it is absolutely impossible for him to reduce the price, even if the human skin is put into mold, he will not reduce the price.
As a result, he can do some handicrafts he likes and make a lot of money, which is beautiful.
Ji Yunxi couldn't sleep well either. She was thinking about how to rescue her housekeeper recently.
She opened her eyes, watched in the dark for a while, and then said softly, "Are you asleep?"
Wu Weian also replied gently: "No."
Ji Yunxi returned to her normal volume: "Will your mask be easily lifted?"
Wu Weian put one hand behind his head: "I have a special method, which is very firm and is no different from my own face. If you don't believe me, you can let someone lift the poisonous lady, and if you can lift it, I will give you eight thousand taels."
Ji Yunxi was slightly surprised, but after the surprise, she felt that it was indeed reasonable: "No wonder I see her eyes are clear, not like her age."
Wu Weian snorted and avoided the topic, the two chatted a few more casually, and then fell asleep.
*
A few hours later, before dawn, Ji Yunxi woke up.
She is going to the Grange today, but it is impossible to go straight to the Grange. She wants the pawnshops in the city to go around first, and then to each Grange.
So she got up early.
People who learn martial arts have strong five senses, and Wu Weian crawled up from the bed with his eyes closed.
He pulled the quilt and sat on the bed, woke up for a while, looked at the still-blooming sky outside, and sighed, "It's a little early."
Ji Yunxi came in after washing her face from outside, glanced at the person on the bed, and asked casually, "Are you still on leave today?"
Wu Weian lay down again, very sleepy: "Sorry, I haven't found my horse yet."
Ji Yunxi was used to it, and when she heard the words, her brows did not move.
She wiped her hands with a towel, but remembered something: "You said you need three days, then you need three days off?"
"Well, I'll ask the steward to go to the Hanlin Academy for me in a while, saying that I'm still in a bad mood. I struggled to get up in the morning, but I fainted." Wu Weian closed his eyes and had already figured out the reason for his leave. He told Ji Yunxi Said, "But I won't be here for three days, don't let people come into our room to find me."
Ji Yunxi put down the towel, stood there and thought for a while, looked at the person lying on the bed, and calmly said, "If that's the case, just do the whole thing for the show."
Wu Weian opened his eyes and turned his head: "What?"
Baofu happened to come in with the dressing maid.
Ji Yunxi said, "Baofu, your lord is unwell, and passed out when you got up. Please pass my order and ask Dr. Cheng from Qifangtang to come and take a look."
Baofu: "Huh?"
She looked at her young lady, and then at the uncle on the bed.
In the early morning of summer, after the night has passed, all the ice in the room has melted, but there is still a little coolness.
Her uncle was covered with a light and soft summer quilt, raised his upper body slightly, rested one elbow on the bed, and was looking at her with his eyes open.
As a result, in the next instant, as soon as her young lady's voice fell, her uncle closed his eyes, his body softened, and he fell back on the bed, dead.
Baofu: "???"
Ji Yunxi looked at Baofu who was shocked, and urged: "Baofu, go quickly."
Baofu paused in place for a second, then led the way.
Although she didn't know what happened, the uncle was fake at first sight! !
But if the lady ordered it like this, then there is no reason for the lady.
She just passed out as an uncle, what else could she do
Ji Yunxi's going out this time is the same as when she usually goes out, she is all dressed up.
Although Qifangtang was not close to Ji's and Wu's house, Ji Yunxi's horse was fast and Ji Yunxi spent a lot of time getting dressed.
She had just finished packing when Dr. Cheng came.
In his early fifties, Dr. Cheng is the chief doctor of Qifangtang and the boss of Qifangtang.
Qifangtang was slowly built by him. Dr. Cheng was a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person who often treated poor families who could not afford medicines.
Therefore, Qifangtang not only did not make money, but also lost money.
The reason why it has been able to open in Shangjing for so many years is the result of Ji Yunxi spending money.
The specific situation, Baofu told him on the way.
Dr. Cheng bowed to Ji Yunxi and walked towards the sleeping man on the bed.
He stood aside for a while, and pretended to check the air, and then said: "Three girls, the lord is overly mourning, plus the loss of the body a few days ago in the spring and summer, and the overwork in daily life, this is the case. I just fainted. Don't worry about the three girls, the adults only need to rest for three or four days, and take the medicine according to the prescription I will prescribe later, and it will be fine."
Just as Ji Yunxi was about to nod her head, she saw Wu Weian, who was motionless on the bed, opened his eyes and corrected, "Seven or eight days."
Dr. Cheng was looking at Ji Yunxi, but a sudden voice behind him startled him, he turned his head again, and made eye contact with the person on the bed: "Huh?"
Wu Weian smiled weakly at Dr. Cheng: "I think I may have to rest for seven or eight days to get better."
"This..." Doctor Cheng looked at Ji Yunxi.
Wu Weian also looked at Ji Yunxi, his expression looked a bit pitiful and weak.
Ji Yunxi was silent for a moment, then said to Dr. Cheng, "Just listen to your lord."
*
Not long after Ji Yunxi left, Wu Weian also got up.
Now he is unwell and resting at home, so he cannot go with Ji Yunxi.
Otherwise, he really wanted to see with his own eyes what Ji Yunxi was going to do to the Fang family's parents.
Wu Weian changed his clothes, put the 8,000 taels that Ji Yunxi had given before leaving, into his pocket, pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard, and bumped into the round-faced steward who came back from the Hanlin Academy.
Intuition told him that the round-faced steward was in a hurry, and it seemed that he had something to look for, and it would definitely not be a good thing.
Over the years, as long as there is a place to spend money, the round-faced management has been like this.
Wu Weian pursed his lips, pretended not to see it, and planned to leave when his feet moved.
The round-faced steward came over immediately, blocking Wu Weian's way, he bowed: "Master, the leave has been requested."
Wu Weian sighed: "Well, what did the scholars say?"
The round-faced steward said, "The scholars praised you as a person with a good temperament, and asked you to rest in peace. You have a good sense of human nature. Knowing that you are worried about your son, you will definitely come back."
"Oh." Wu Weian thought about the silver note in his arms, his face became colder, and he seemed to have a bit of murderous aura.
The round-faced steward took a step back subconsciously, but he kept talking: "One more thing, son, our security guard in Yannan accidentally caught fire, and the customers' fine fabrics and papers were burned. …”
Yannan is on the edge of Xiangping. The climate in both places is dry and hot, and it is very easy to get water in summer.
Wu Weian's escort bureaus are all self-employed, and they are not very operated, because if they are opened too large, they will be conspicuous and easy to expose.
The money earned by these escort shops is constantly supplying places where money is needed, so Wu Weian himself has no half of it on hand.
He also often needs to find ways to raise money because of these accidents.
The money in his hand has never been warmed up once.
After so many years, Wu Weian is used to it. His face is very light. After thinking about what Ji Yunxi explained to Wanxiang last night, he said: "The injured brother must be settled, and the damaged things must be counted. You should inform me. , let all escort shops pay attention, it is easy to catch fire in summer, and don't bring candles in places where fire is easy. As for the shops around Yannan, please don't light fire at night, use all—"
Wu Weian, who was reciting, paused for a while, and under the round-faced butler's surprised expression, he changed it: "I'll replace it with brothers who are good at night vision."
The round-faced steward glanced at the son, then looked at the son again, in shock.
Is the sun coming out of the west today? The son actually explained so clearly! Young Master used to basically say four words 'how much? '.
The round-faced steward hurriedly said: "Yes, son. It's just the customers who need compensation. The security bureau has no money..."
Wu Weian snorted: "How much do you want?"
Only then did the round-faced manager find a sense of familiarity: "Seven thousand taels."
Wu Weian was like bamboo and pine and cypress, with his hands behind his back, standing upright at the gate of the courtyard.
The sun rose from the sky and the light fell on him, but he could not feel any warmth.
The round-faced steward also knows that this amount is not small, and the young master should not be able to come up with it.
In the hands of the young master, there should only be one thousand taels.
But this matter is a little urgent and involves compensation.
The round-faced steward coughed and tentatively came up with an idea: "Young Master, do you want to find Mrs.—"
Wu Weian glanced at him coldly.
The round-faced butler immediately closed his mouth.
Wu Weian stretched out his hand, took one after another from his arms, and gave seven to the round-faced steward.
Afterwards, his expressionless face, his footsteps were extremely fast, like a ghost, he instantly disappeared in front of the steward.
After a while, Wu Weian came to the secret room.
He took a box from the wall and unlocked the complicated lock.
Inside, there are a few human skins.
Wu Weian pursed his lips tightly, opened his face coldly, and took out the human skin, revealing a thousand taels of silver bills and fifty taels of broken silver at the bottom.
Then he put another one thousand taels silver bill in his arms, and then covered it with human skin.
The author has something to say: Wu Da: Rich as I am.
