Old Man Fang and Mrs. Fang were originally locked in the room, and they yelled in anger, smashed cups and chairs, but they were really brought to Ji Yunxi, but they didn't dare to say a word.
The conditions in the village are not as good as those in the city, and the best rooms are a bit shabby in Baofu's eyes.
But for the old man and lady of the Fang family who were born and raised in the countryside, this room was the most luxurious they had ever seen in their lives.
The sandalwood tables and chairs that looked to be in excellent condition, the large basins of ice cubes on the side, and the nobles sitting in the hall.
The nobleman was very good-looking, with a golden peony in a bun, supplemented by a white hosta, wearing simple but delicate earrings, wearing a red inner skirt embroidered with auspicious patterns, and covered with a moon-white gauze. with a gold belt around the waist that matches the hair accessories.
The nobleman reclined between the chairs, his fingertips dyed in pale red, holding a small and delicate fan, which he fanned repeatedly.
Mrs. Fang and Mr. Fang didn't even dare to look at them, they glanced a few times, then lowered their heads, you look at me, I look at you. The arrogance and domineering that he had just been in the Grange had disappeared, as if the two old country pheasants and ducks had been pinched by their necks.
The Fang family is located in a remote area, and there are only a few dozen families in the village. Over the years, their youngest son has also been raised.
Back then, when the youngest son, Zhongju, the adults in the county came here specially, when they were kneeling on the ground, they secretly glanced at him and felt that the adults were extremely majestic.
But at this moment, the nobles in the hall are more imposing than the adults. At first glance, they are not people they can afford, nor are they able to climb high.
Ji Yunxi quietly looked at the two old men and gave Baofu beside him a look.
Baofu cleared his throat, squinted his eyes, and said indifferently, "Are you Fang Yuan's parents?"
The old man Fang was a coward. He glanced at the old woman. Madam Fang clasped her hands and fingers in front of her, a bit cramped: "Yes, yes."
This noble lady's maid looks even less like a master to be provoked.
Baofu saw that the pair of old people had never seen the world, and his eyes were about to go to the sky, and when he spoke, his tone almost flew into the sky: "But our housekeeper is the one who reported it to the Punishment Department? Said our housekeeper killed your son?"
Baofu said it directly, not shy at all, and did not take into account the feelings of the parents, as if I could talk to you, it was your ancestor who appeared, and you should be grateful to Dade.
If someone else said this, Mrs. Fang would definitely want to scold her, but Mrs. Fang, the maidservant with a fierce face, don't even dare to look at her, because if you look at her, her eyes will definitely be ruthless. I glared at you: "Yes, that bitch is indeed the one who denounced her, lady, that bitch is not a good thing, since childhood, she was lazy and stealing things! Now she kills my son! How good my son treats her, She can actually do it! What a poisonous intestine! Miss noble, you must not trust her, she is used to deceiving people!"
The person who came to the village to look for them and brought them to the capital told them that that bitch was now favored by a certain lady, and she was the steward of some casino! Is this the lady in the hall
Before seeing this young lady, Mrs. Fang felt that this young lady was blind, but seeing this young lady, Mrs. Fang felt that it must be that bitch who made her way up to Gaozhi!
This young lady can let this bitch be in charge, and maybe she can also let her daughter be in charge!
She also has a daughter who is countless times better than that bitch!
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes and said, "You're right. This steward really lied to me."
Mrs. Fang was overjoyed.
Ji Yunxi continued: "Because of her, my shop has lost a lot of money. Money is second, but I've always been the most irritating person to lie to me. I can't take this breath."
Mrs. Fang raised her head, her face brightened, and she comforted: "Miss noble, what are you doing with that slut! It's not worth it if you are so angry! And that slut will be beheaded soon!"
Ji Yunxi slowly shook her head: "No, I want to rescue her from the punishment department."
Mrs. Fang said, "This—"
Ji Yunxi hooked her lips and smiled: "As soon as a person dies, she is relieved. She is comfortable, but I can't take my breath away."
Baofu stood on the side, looking down at the old Fang family, heard the words of her young lady very skillfully, his tone was extremely vicious: "That's right, young lady, according to the servants, it is time to bring that Fang steward out of prison. , locked at home, cut off two of her ears, gouged out her two pairs of eyes, and chopped off her limbs. Those who betrayed the young lady and betrayed the young lady, you must let them suffer in life, such a good thing as death is not acceptable. Let them take it!"
Old Man Fang and Old Man Fang let out a cold sigh of relief, both with fearful expressions on their faces, and even more cautious in the eyes they looked at Ji Yunxi and Baofu.
But then again, this noble man is right! Let that bitch die like this, wouldn't it be cheap for her? !
Ji Yunxi saw that the time was almost up, and said lazily: "I have a way, I want you two to do me a favor. After this is done, as a token of gratitude, I will give you four thousand taels."
The old couple from the Fang family suddenly raised their heads, their faces shocked! They were even more shocked than when someone from the capital found them and told them that their youngest son was killed by a bitch.
After all, the two had a lot of children, six sons and two daughters. Although they used to love their younger sons since childhood, they are also not short of sons.
But they are short of money.
The daughters-in-law in the family have added two big fat grandsons. With so many people in the family, they need money everywhere.
And these four thousand taels, what is the concept of four thousand taels!
In their village, five taels of silver can keep a family for two years! Still have a good time!
Then go to the capital to find them, ask them to come and report on the cheap girl, and promise to give them fifty taels after the matter is done, and they will come without a word to pack up!
After all, this matter can avenge the children and make money, they are stupid if they don't do it!
But this noble lady, when she opened her mouth, it was four thousand taels! Four thousand taels! How many people can't even see one hundred taels, let alone four thousand taels in their entire lives!
Moreover, this noble lady wants to save the cheap girl from the punishment department, but also to torture the cheap girl, and also to avenge the child!
This is their youngest son who is dying, bless their Fang family in the sky, and specially asked this noble lady to come to them!
The old man Fang couldn't hold back, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay..."
Mrs. Fang bumped him and grabbed the conversation: "Miss noble, it's good, but four thousand taels may not be enough, can you add a little more?"
Her face was full of a pleasing smile, and her cloudy eyes flashed with greed.
After all, Mrs. Fang is the best at bargaining. This noble lady is not short of money at first glance, so she must not take the opportunity to ask for more
Ji Yunxi frowned unhappily.
Baofu's face slanted, his eyes widened, and he pointed at the two people in the hall and yelled: "Bold! It's an old country thing! When this is a market, you come to buy vegetables and bargain? Our young lady can pay four thousand taels, It's all doing good deeds. It's pitiful to see your dead son! In the end, you still want to pay more! Forget it! Our young lady hates people like you the most. I tell you, there is no door! Come on, put these two People throw it out for me, so I don't get in the way of the young lady here!"
As soon as these words came out, the old couple panicked.
The old man immediately pushed the old woman, pushed the old woman to the ground, and said angrily: "You immortal, you will do bad things!"
Then, as soon as his legs fell, he knelt down towards Ji Yunxi: "Miss noble, I'm an ignorant old woman, don't listen to her! Say, what are you doing, we both will help! Help!"
The old woman was in pain from the fall, but she didn't say a word, changed from sitting to kneeling, and confessed to Ji Yunxi with snot and tears: "Miss, it was my fault! It was my fault! I am greedy! I don't Dare, don't rush us, lady! We will do what you say!"
Ji Yunxi looked at the two people in the hall quietly, without saying a word.
Baofu and Ji Yunxi used to act in these dramas to grab business. Seeing this, he snorted coldly and moved his eyebrows: "You'd better repent sincerely. And I warn you, young lady hates others to lie to her and betray her the most. If you take the money and betray the young lady, then you will wait for your ears and eyes to be chopped off!"
The Fang family's heart was tense, and they shook their heads and said they didn't dare.
Of course they dare not, and they won't. When the 4,000 taels are in hand, they will only keep it secret and secretly have fun.
After Ji Yunxi left the farm, he strolled around several nearby farms before returning to Wu's house.
She handed Wu Weian the portrait drawn by the artist according to the description of Fang's parents, and she told him about Fang Yuan's height, shape, personality, etc.: "Fang Yuan is very silent in front of outsiders because of his hidden illness. Do you have someone who is more compatible with you?"
Wu Weian looked at the portrait and quickly thought of a suitable person: "Yes."
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Okay, I'll rent it to you for a few days, and you'll set a price."
Wu Weian put away the portrait, which is rare and generous: "I won't charge you this time, and people don't need to rent it. I'll give it to you in the future."
Ji Yunxi gave him one more look.
Wu Weian was in a good mood: "Just take care of my business these days and give you preferential treatment."
After all, over the years, he has never deposited silver in his hands.
But now, even if the escort bureau needs compensation, the compensation can be deducted, but he still has 2,050 taels of silver.
Don't look at his wife's lavishness. When she opens her mouth, she says several thousand twenties and tens of thousands of taels. That's because she has money, and her business can easily be this amount.
But for ordinary people, 2,050 taels of silver is a lot of money.
preferential treatment
Ji Yunxi didn't have much expression on his face, but he snorted in his heart.
Ji Yunxi has always been very clear about her position. She is a businessman, and she has all the problems of a businessman.
Doing business with integrity and fairness is right to customers.
But getting along with partners is different.
On the surface, it is cooperation, talking happily and sympathizing with each other, and bluffing each other to draw a big cake for each other, but behind the scenes, it is all indiscernible temptations and struggles for the right to speak.
You and your partners are honest and fair, and you often don't know how you will die in the end.
Why cooperate after all? The beginning of cooperation is not all for profit.
That will turn against each other at any time because of interests.
Only by ensuring that the interests of the two are always tied together can this relationship be maintained for a long time.
Ji Yunxi admired Wu Weian very much, because she felt that the other party's thoughts were similar to hers.
Both of them talk about interests, but it is simple. Because the interests are consistent and inconsistent, it is easy to see and grasp the rules, and there are traces to follow.
Emotions are too varied.
After all, Ji Yunxi has seen too much in modern times. This kind of thing, who can say whether it will always be there.
How many couples, how many couples, love to death at the beginning. But after a year, two or three years, the love suddenly disappeared.
Maybe it was love yesterday, but it's gone today.
Moreover, Wu Weian is unfathomable, and the acting makes people unable to tell the truth from the fake. Ji Yunxi hasn't seen through him yet.
But she only needed to know one thing, he was not an emotional person.
Ji Yunxi thought for a while.
Now she is so generous because she is really rich. You will always earn more than you spend, because if you have enough money, you can make money.
But when she had no money at the beginning, she also fought for a penny, and she could spend a cent and never spend two cents. If she has no money, under what circumstances would she be willing to be free? Of course, this is the time when she is happy to see it happen.
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, raised her eyes, looked at him with a light face, and suddenly asked, "That person of you just lacks an identity and needs a face?"
Wu Weian held the hand of the portrait for a while, but his face was not visible, with a bit of surprise: "Why do you think so? I'm all here to help you."
"Oh, thank you so much." Ji Yunxi's tone was perfunctory, and she knew she didn't believe what he said at all.
Wu Weian bypassed this topic, and just wanted to ask how much she gave to the Fang family, so that the other party was willing to excuse the person who killed his son, when he found that someone came to the door.
He has excellent hearing, and Ji Mingyan's footsteps can be detected as long as he steps in the gate of Wu's house.
Wu Weian said to her, "Your sixth brother is here."
Ji Yunxi: "He should have come to see you."
Wu Weian held the portrait: "I'm going to make a mask now, and your sixth brother will rely on you to stop it. I'll be away for these three days, and the Wu family will ask you."
Ji Yunxi nodded: "I know, let's go."
The face is calm and the tone is indifferent, and listening to it makes people feel at ease.
Wu Weian held the portrait, tapped lightly with his feet, floated to the side of the ice mirror, followed by a bowl of ice powder with the most rock candy, and soon disappeared in place.
Ji Yunxi stepped out, closed the door with her backhand, and walked out of the courtyard, where she happened to meet Ji Mingyan who ran in.
Ji Mingyan hurried over when he heard his brother-in-law fainted: "Sanmei, how is my brother-in-law now? Are you awake?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "I woke up for a while an hour ago, but now I fell asleep again."
Ji Mingyan immediately said, "I'll go see him!"
Ji Yunxi stopped him: "Sixth brother, Dr. Cheng said that An Lang needs to rest, and it's best not to let anyone disturb him for the past seven days."
Ji Mingyan said aggrieved: "But I'm not an outsider."
Ji Yunxi reminded him: "But you are a little noisy."
Ji Mingyan was speechless. He himself recognized this, but he couldn't help it. He just likes to talk to the people he likes, right
Ji Mingyan stood on the spot, lowered his head, and raised his eyes from time to time to look at Ji Yunxi.
He has the horse thing in his heart. He didn't tell anyone about it, because he didn't know what to do.
But now, my brother-in-law fainted because he missed the horse and needed to rest for seven days!
That Ji Mingyan felt that the horse still had to be returned to his brother-in-law.
Ji Yunxi saw his hesitation and asked, "What happened?"
Ji Mingyan struggled for a while, and then brought the matter to his third sister.
The horse was with the fifth brother, but Ji Yunxi really didn't expect it.
But on second thought, it was a good thing.
At least in the past few days, no one will come to the door immediately.
Wu Weian's seven-day leave is guaranteed.
Ji Mingyan said, "I'd better tell my brother-in-law about this. I can't keep my brother-in-law sick!"
Ji Yunxi shook her head: "Sixth brother, you can't talk about this."
Ji Mingyan wondered: "Why? Just say my brother-in-law and I'll be fine."
"No." Ji Yunxi flickered unhurriedly, "Doctor Cheng said that An Lang's mood should not fluctuate too much in the past seven days. Although he is sad now, his mood has calmed down a little, and he may not be able to find the horse after accepting it. But if you tell him now that the horse has been found, he will be overjoyed. Great joy and great sorrow, it is a big taboo, I am afraid that An Lang will not be able to bear it. It is better to wait until he is in good health and then talk to him about being safe."
Ji Yunxi was very clear about her brothers' temperament, she really wanted to fool her, but none of her brothers could resist.
Not to mention, Ji Mingyan is the most easily fooled.
*
In the secret room, there was a not-so-bright night pearl on the table.
The dim light reflected Wu Weian's face.
He was rarely serious, his lips were slightly pursed, and his hands with very good-looking joints held a very thin needle, the needle was stained with a special dye, and flexibly shuttled back and forth on the skin.
In preparation for the imperial examination that day, Wu Weian went to bed at midnight every night, and even occasionally got bored and lazy.
But now, he slept for an hour or two every day, and he didn't complain. Instead, he was intoxicated.
Three days later, Wu Weian took the mask and walked out of the secret room door with a strange figure, then flew up and opened the cellar door.
The cellar is in the corner of the granary, unremarkable.
He closed the door again and walked out of the granary without looking away.
It's annoying to look at.
These days, the grain in the granary is decreasing day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Presumably in a few days, the granary will return to its empty appearance.
He couldn't help thinking in his heart that his subordinates really had no money and would rather get food than wait longer. Can't they wait until he's rich in the future to take money from him
Wu Weian opened the door of the granary and walked out.
It was already night outside, and there was the sound of frogs calling from the Huxin Pavilion.
Wu Weian looked up at the night sky and said, "Come out."
In the dark night, a man wearing a mask appeared. He bowed his head and bowed, and said respectfully, "Young Master."
Wu Weian raised his feet, walked unhurriedly in the courtyard, and asked casually, "It's been three years?"
The masked man nodded: "Master Hui, yes."
Wu Weian gently tossed the freshly baked mask in his hand, and the man caught it immediately.
Wu Weian: "Your future identity, Fang Yuan. Specifically, Madam will tell you."
The masked man held the mask in his hand and secretly exhaled.
For three years, he has been hidden in the dark and has no identity.
He should have been a dead man, a son, who gave him his life.
And he waited three years for the chance to live in the sun.
The masked man said solemnly, "Yes, Master Xie."
"It's up to you how to go in the future." Wu Weian has no arrangements for this person, "but I hope one day, you will have the opportunity to let me use you."
The masked man knelt down on one foot: "Young master, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely live up to the cultivation of your son."
"Well, get up, don't take it off when you put it on. Come see Madam with me."
Wu Weian took Fang Yuan to see Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi looked him up and down several times.
Wu Weian leaned on the side and put his hands around his chest: "How is it? Are your 8,000 taels worth it?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "It's really good."
Wu Weian smiled and tapped his toes, feeling proud.
Ji Yunxi instructed Fang Yuan a few words, and Fang Yuan disappeared. According to Ji Yunxi's instructions, he went to find his 'parents'.
Fang Yuan left, and the bedroom door was closed.
Ji Yunxi still has some details for tomorrow, and he will use the resources in Wu Weian's hands.
For example, before the palace examination that day, he helped him set up a 'navy army' for him in the scholar circle.
Wu Weian naturally offered it with both hands.
These resources are also a waste, they can be used by her, and they can also help him make money, which is like killing two birds with one stone.
In the past, no matter how many resources he had, there was nowhere to sell them.
In the temples of Jianghu, no one knows the net he built, and no one knows his identity.
How does he sell it? Who are you selling to
This time, using layers of relationships to make his father's name appear in the eyes of Ji Mingxi, the Ministry of Personnel, and to transfer his father to Beijing, Wu Weian felt that the time had come.
He originally wanted to choose someone he liked among several princes, and everyone would benefit from each other.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunxi came to the door first.
He was hesitant before, but now, Wu Weian feels that Ji Yunxi is indeed the best candidate.
The relationship between her Ji family and the crown prince, as well as her wealth that rivals the country, are her best reliance.
And her family's kind and simple-minded brother is her biggest weakness.
She has obvious handles, such a person is very suitable, much more suitable than the princes.
Those sons of the royal family are too suspicious and ruthless. The Keji family will not.
Moreover, in front of the princes, he must be a lowly squat, coaxing and holding it. Although he doesn't care, but if he can not bend his waist, of course he chooses not to bend.
The door of the son and his wife was closed, and the round-faced steward who was working not far away lifted his feet and left.
He just heard it all.
He said that on that day, how could the young master come up with seven thousand taels! It turned out that this mask was used to sell Mrs. 8,000 taels!
The person behind Fang Yuan, the round-faced manager knows.
This man carried a deep vengeance on his back and killed a sect elder in the rivers and lakes to avenge his revenge, but he has been hunted down since then.
If the son hadn't asked them to save him, he would have died long ago.
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is, the young master took two thousand taels from his wife and gave him one thousand taels, that is, one thousand taels left.
Now he sold 8,000 taels by selling skins, gave him 7,000 taels, and left another 1,000 taels.
In the hands of the young master, there are now two thousand taels.
The brothers who went to the capital this time have basically settled all the money they owed in previous years.
But the brothers in other places still owe it.
The round-faced steward thought to himself, so he expanded outward from the capital city, and settled down one city at a time.
After all, over the years, everyone has come to ask for money.
These are all blocked by him alone, all of him, with a shy face and everyone's understanding and reasoning, saying that life is difficult today, I hope everyone can wait and give some time.
Two thousand taels should be able to form seven or eight cities.
The repayment from one city to another will always be repaid one day.
Thinking about it, the waist of the round face in charge of things straightened a bit.
He has already foreseen the appearance of up and down and He Meimei after the debt is paid off in the future.
The author has something to say: Wu Da: What the hell, there are ghosts!
