Ji Yunxi raised her head only after the pain in her palm was relieved.
Wu Weian squatted in front of her feet. Seeing this, he slightly buckled Ji Yunxi's right wrist and turned up her palm, only to see a large red spot on the top.
He sighed lightly: "You said you, why bother with yourself?"
As he said that, he gently rubbed her knuckles.
Ji Yunxi did not withdraw her hand, she looked at him quietly.
Suddenly, she lowered her head, raised her lips, and revealed a slightly sarcastic smile.
At this point, Ji Yunxi is rarely angry anymore.
It should also be said that few people can make her angry.
As a result, Wu Weian accurately stepped on her point repeatedly and twice.
It has to be said that smart people are always good at observing people and have the ability to control the emotions of others.
In this regard, Wu Weian is even more outstanding.
Just when he was angry, Ji Yunxi didn't react for a while and lost control.
But this time, the pain awakened her sanity.
In this world, many things are the same.
Whether it is negotiation in the business field or the torture scene of the prisoner, it is to break the calm mood of the other party and make the other party fluctuate in mood.
If there are fluctuations, there are traces to follow.
Including the relationship between men and women.
In modern PUA studies, there is probably such a method.
Naturally, this man would never have heard of this concept, but he might be able to learn it without a teacher.
She didn't believe it, Wu Weian didn't know what she was doing.
Ji Yunxi took back his thoughts and looked at him.
He lowered his head and massaged her palms earnestly and attentively. His appearance always gives people the illusion that his own hands are the treasures in his heart.
He has always been like this. Just look at the sharp lotus just now.
Palm slightly itchy.
Ji Yunxi regained her composure, shook off his hand, and got up from the beauty's couch.
Wu Weian followed.
Just now, the ink splashed on his face and fell down, leaving a few abrupt ink marks on Ji Yunxi's fair and delicate face.
Wu Weian reached out and wanted to wipe her off.
But Ji Yunxi avoided it.
She glanced at him, said nothing, raised her feet and wanted to go out to clean up the mess on Yixia.
Wu Weian subconsciously followed behind.
She was still full of anger just now, but after a while, she returned to her usual calm.
Wu Weian didn't know what Ji Yunxi meant for a while.
He touched the tip of his nose and could only follow.
Ji Yunxi took a few steps, and he followed a few steps.
Ji Yunxi stopped, and so did he.
Ji Yunxi's hand had already landed on the door, she lowered her eyebrows slightly, released her hand suddenly, and turned around.
Wu Weian was two steps away from her, and when he saw this, he asked softly, "What?"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyes, her voice was slightly cold: "What are you doing with me?"
Wu Weian sighed in his heart: "Sorry, I didn't mean it just now."
Ji Yunxi's eyes were flat: "Oh, so?"
Wu Wei settled down and looked at her face: "So can you stop being angry?"
Ji Yunxi: "It's just a small matter, you didn't mean it, why should I be angry?"
She just figured it out, and naturally she didn't feel much. And it's really just a tiny little thing.
The location on the map, she will clean it later and take a closer look, and she can always find it.
Wu Weian opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.
Now, he doesn't understand her a bit.
"So can I go wash my face?" she asked.
Wu Weian: "Of course you can."
He curled his fingertips slightly, thought carefully, and added: "But it's so late, I won't bother your maid, I'll help you? No matter what, the ink on your face is also because of me. "
Ji Yunxi looked at him, her eyes flashed slightly, and said, "No, but you are right about one thing."
Wu Weian: "?"
Ji Yunxi smiled at him: "I'm planning to open Buzhuang branches all over Dayu, and I'm just planning the site selection. Just as I was about to circle, you took the map away..."
Wu Weian understood: "I can help you circle a few? Although I really didn't make any money, my vision is not bad."
He has always believed that he is only short of wealth and not lacking in business vision.
Ji Yunxi nodded and went out to wash her face.
When he came back, Wu Weian was sitting in front of the collapse and just put down the pen in his hand.
"Exactly, I just finished two circles, you see how it goes."
Ji Yunxi walked over, stood on the edge, and glanced down.
She knew at a glance that one of them was the one she just wanted to circle.
The other place was comparable to the place she was optimistic about.
Ji Yunxi only plans to open a branch in one place, specifically for the local civilians and well-off families.
As for expensive clothes like Dongyun, the branch does not sell them directly, but only accepts goods from Dongyun cloth village in Shangjing.
That is to say, local rich people can buy clothes from Dongyun cloth village in the capital through the branch.
According to consumer psychology, in this way, not only will those rich people not feel troublesome, but they will feel that the money is worth it.
Although only one branch is opened, there are two options. Instead, one of the two can be chosen with a lower cost.
Ji Yunxi has never been stingy with his own praise: "Yes, can there be a third place?"
After all, the more choices, the better.
Wu Weian thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I've been to this place, these two locations are the best for Kaibuzhuang, and the others are a little inferior. You can choose the best one."
Ji Yunxi nodded.
It's no wonder that he did a good job of washing her face. It turned out to be a field visit.
She lowered her eyebrows, thought for a while, and asked, "Have you been to many places?"
Wu Weian smiled slightly, quite a bit unpredictable as a hermit master: "Well, Dayu has traveled almost all over the court."
Ji Yunxi boasted again: "Not bad."
Before the smile appeared on Wu Weian's face, he suddenly stopped.
The location of the beauty's couch is not too small, more than enough for one person to lie down, but if there are two people, it will be a little crowded.
Wu Weian sat casually on the couch, occupying almost half of his seat.
But Ji Yunxi bent down at this moment, leaning in from behind him.
The tip of the nose was filled with the scent of women, and a little spark flashed as the two of them brushed their pajamas.
In autumn, it is dry and prone to static electricity.
Ji Yunxi took out the dozens of maps that were inside, and then placed them in front of Wu Weian one by one: "I'll leave them all to you."
Wu Weian, who just recovered his senses: "?"
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes, and looked at him quietly with a pair of very beautiful eyes, with a soft tone: "Look, can you wrap it up for me tonight?"
Wu Weian: "??"
He looked down, with a clear rejection in his tone: "Tonight?"
There are dozens of volumes of maps here. Although it is not difficult for him to circle a location, but with so much, at least it takes some time
He is a little sleepy now, and he misses the warm bed.
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Well, I can pick the second round when I get up tomorrow. The sooner the branch is opened, the better."
Wu Weian has never been a person who would wrong himself: "Although this is the case, it is not a day or two away. So, how about I fix it for you before going to bed tomorrow?"
Ji Yunxi chuckled lightly.
She slowly shook her head: "No, I'm going tonight."
Wu Weian raised his lips slightly: "What if I don't?"
Ji Yunxi lowered her head and whispered in his ear, "You can try."
Wu Weian's ears trembled slightly, and the whole ear slowly turned red.
Ji Yunxi stood up straight and glanced at random, as if nothing had happened, and went to bed first.
While walking, the steps are light and slow, and the waist that Yingying holds is looming.
As I said earlier, she is not an innocent girl.
*
Last night, Wu Weian circled the map in the middle of the night.
When I went to the Hanlin Academy in the morning, I was almost late.
In the evening, when he returned home, Ji Yunxi was away, busy with his business.
After Wu Weian finished his dinner, he went to a certain adult's house.
When he arrived, the other adults had already arrived.
Wu Weian sat low-key in the far corner, resting his head on one hand and playing with the teacup with the other.
He didn't sleep well last night, not because of the map, but because of a growing question in his heart.
As far as he knew, Ji Yunxi didn't have a deep relationship with the young lady in Shangjing, and she was always busy with business.
Even with her ex-fiancé Yang Weitian, they didn't see each other for three years.
These news were asked by Wu Weian, intentionally or unintentionally, when he and Ji Mingyan were together before.
She didn't have many opportunities to interact with men since she was a child, and she was not that kind of temperament either.
Why is such a person like this, understand
At the last palace banquet, when he was angry with Feng Wu, he actually already had this doubt.
It's just that at that time, he didn't pay much attention to it.
But last night, the same doubts appeared again.
She seemed to know a little too well.
Such a whisper in the ear, such an exhalation like a blue, such an invisible slight charm.
Wu Weian was thoughtful.
It just so happened that an adult asked him during the banquet: "What does Mr. Wu have to say about the fifth prince here?"
In the words, with respect.
The matter of the fifth prince this time, after all, it was Wu Weian who controlled the bureau.
And the other party is not missing any omissions, and the first shot is an extremely ruthless killing move, which makes everyone quite jealous.
If this Lord Xiao Wu is not their companion, but their enemy, then the current situation of the five princes and one party is their situation.
Wu Weian really has something to say.
He took a sip of water and said, "The two dozen people who sued the Department of Punishment and Dali Temple by beating the drums, I heard that you all gave them silver after the incident?"
The adults nodded, not feeling anything wrong: "Yes."
Wu Weian's expression was light, but he was not angry: "Why give it?"
The adults were puzzled by the second monk he asked.
"Ah? Aren't they all given?"
"Yeah, we used to do things like this. Isn't it right for those who help us to give some silver?"
"And it's not too much, just twenty taels of silver for a family."
Wu Weian put down the tea cup, with a displeased look on his face: "Twenty-three families, twenty taels per family, is four hundred and sixty taels of silver. How many things can be bought for four hundred and sixty taels, and how many things can be done? The truth, you adults must know better than me."
The adults don't care.
They respect Wu Weian, but that doesn't mean they don't have their own temperament.
"These 22 taels are considered hush money! If those people spread the news about us picking up the drums and making grievances, wouldn't it be a lot of trouble?"
Wu Weian glanced at the speaking adult, and his tone was cold: "Twenty taels of silver, whose mouth do you think you can keep? Those who can speak will always speak, and those who can't speak will never speak. Besides, in this matter, it's not them who helped us, but we helped them reverse the case. It's good that we confiscate their money, but you returned the money?"
At the end of the day, Wu Weian almost hates iron not turning into steel. >
/> Makes sense, the adults in the room looked at each other in dismay.
Another adult asked: "But what if other princes, or the Sage, knew that we did it behind the scenes?"
Wu Weian snorted lightly: "Do you think they don't know? They have long known that we did it. Therefore, since then, all adults have to be careful and careful in their actions in the imperial court."
After the incident was revealed, Wu Weian raised a few more things.
It's all small, money-related matters.
Until Wu Weian left, the adults talked secretly.
"The third girl has never been here these days, I was relieved! As a result, this little Master Wu is much stricter than the third girl when it comes to money!"
"Hey, everyone should be careful with money in the future. I think that Mr. Wu is already unhappy."
"That's the only way. It's better for everyone to use less of the three girls' money."

After the secret recipe for the poison was obtained, the poisonous lady and Ji Mingyan began to develop it day and night.
All kinds of medicinal materials and utensils are still relatively complete in Ji Mingyan's courtyard, so the poisonous lady went to Ji's house.
In the past few days, the Wu family's food was cooked by Ji Yunxi's maid.
This afternoon, Ji Yunxi rested at home.
After lunch, she went to Ji Mingyan's yard specially.
The fifth prince died, and now Shangjing is calm.
But under the calm, there are turbulent waves.
To be on the safe side, Wu Weian's poison still has to be solved as soon as possible.
If the opponent finds a weakness, it will be quite troublesome to attack them on the tenth day of the first day.
In Ji Mingyan's courtyard, colorful flowers and plants are growing beautifully.
Occasionally, the soil will be haunted by hard-working poisonous centipedes.
Ji Yunxi walked past without looking sideways, and went straight to Ji Mingyan's poison room.
Inside the drug room, bottles and jars were piled up on a small hillside.
Ji Mingyan sat on the medicine stove and went to threw the medicinal materials, while the poisonous lady was looking for something on the hillside.
After looking for it, the poisonous lady was furious: "Ji Mingyan, you can't clean up!! So many, how can I find Heimancao?"
Ji Mingyan snorted, turned to look, just saw Ji Yunxi at the door.
He said hello: "Sanmei, you are here!"
Ji Yunxi looked at her sixth brother.
Five days have passed since the fifth prince died. During these five days, Ji Mingyan and the poisonous lady have not been out of this yard, and they have been fascinated by the study of the golden toad poison.
These two people, at this time, are a little embarrassed.
Ji Mingyan didn't know what was on his face, black and purple, and a little girl's face could not be seen at all, only a pair of eyes remained, which were still big and bright.
The poisonous lady is similar, her hair is disheveled, and because she is too angry to find something, she has a hideous face.
Ji Yunxi nodded towards the two of them.
After Ji Mingyan said hello, he didn't have time to pay attention to his third sister, so he rushed to the hillside, and after rummaging in it for a while, he dug out a small jar: "Look, Heimancao is here! Good to find."
The poisonous lady gritted her teeth, snatched the Heimancao, ran to her medicine stove, and continued her unfinished work.
Seeing that the two of them were so busy, they got carried away, Ji Yunxi looked at it for a while and asked, "How are you two?"
Ji Mingyan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his dark hands, and was extremely excited: "It's coming soon, it's coming soon! This golden toad poison really lives up to its reputation! I've never seen such a water-tight poison! Great! The Golden Toad Gu has been dead for many years, but I feel that I can recreate the Golden Toad Gu!" He clenched his fists, his black face was full of yearning, "It's even better than the Golden Toad Gu. Gu is even better!"
The poisonous lady smashed the empty jar of Heimancao, and scolded with her arms on her hips: "It's an antidote, who asked you to study the golden toad?! Are you doing the right thing!"
Ji Mingyan took the empty jar and said aggrieved: "Of course there is something related to my brother-in-law. As an elder, how could I not care! I mean, after the antidote comes out."
Lady Poison rolled her eyes, and then said to Ji Yunxi, "This golden toad poison is extremely complicated, but luckily I have found the secret recipe. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to develop an antidote for the rest of my life. The antidote involves 72 flavors. We have tested 65 herbs, and we have the last 7 herbs. After 72 herbs have been tested and collected, the antidote will naturally come out.”
Ji Yunxi nodded lightly, "Let me see the 65 flavors first."
*
Two days later, on the seventh day after the fifth prince's death, Wu Weian happened to take a rest.
He had nothing to do recently, and just wanted to take advantage of this day to find a place to stroll around with Ji Yunxi, but Ji Yunxi said that she was going to Kaitai Village to work.
In desperation, Wu Weian could only go to the granary to practice.
In the afternoon, he came back sweaty, and just after taking a bath, he saw that the four servants in the family were waiting for him.
Including Xuezhu who went to the cloth village to dye cloth, and even the elders of the house who did not see each other once in ten days and a half even if they stayed in the same world.
Wu Weian glanced at the poisonous lady: "Is the antidote ready?"
The poisonous lady nodded with excitement in her eyes.
The master of the poisonous lady was one of the three masters of poison in the past.
But even so, the other party couldn't get rid of the Golden Toad Gu poison on Wu Weian's body.
He knew that his time was short, and he had never accepted an apprentice, so he accepted a little girl just so that after his death, the apprentice could relieve Wu Weian's golden toad for him.
It can be said that without Wu Weian, the poisonous lady would not be able to worship a teacher or become a poisonous lady.
After so many years, the long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, and even the last wish of the master can be fulfilled. At this time, the poisonous lady is uneasy.
Not to mention the roundabout.
In his life, the things that worry him the most are two things.
One is the money owed to the brothers;
One is the poison on the son.
As long as the money is still owed, as long as the son's poison is not solved for one day, the round manager will not be able to sleep peacefully.
But Xuezhu and the elders of the house didn't have much thoughts.
They were completely called by the round steward.
Xuezhu was still thinking about his cloth, and the master was thinking about his bed.
Both of them are looking forward to the early end of this small meeting, so that they can go back to their own business.
The poisonous lady handed the antidote to Wu Weian.
Wu Weian, who took the recipe, glanced at him, paused, and said subconsciously, "It's so long?"
Poison Lady: "There are 72 flavors in total, each of which is not an ordinary medicinal herb. But Ji Mingyan has a lot of good things in his yard. I brought 20 flavors from him. There are still 52 flavors to collect."
Wu Weian didn't want to see it very much, so he handed it to the round steward directly: "You watch and deal with it."
Having said that, he entered the bedroom, out of sight.
About half an hour later, outside the courtyard, Ji Yunxi's carriage stopped.
When she returned to the courtyard, she found that there were many people in the bedroom today.
Wu Weian's four servants were rarely present, each standing in front of the desk, surrounding Wu Weian in the middle.
The old round steward said in a low voice, "Young master, I just re-prescribed the prescription, you can take a look. The first 20 flavors are all we already have, and the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd flavors can all be obtained by the brothers in Qingzhou. Qingshan picking, these three medicinal materials have always grown in Qingshan. The 24th, 25th herbs can be picked by the brothers of Niujia Village in Niubei Mountain…”
Wu Weian sat idle in his seat without making a sound.
Hearing Ji Yunxi coming in, he glanced at her.
Ji Yunxi didn't say anything.
She went to the table and sat down.
Baofu held the box in his hand and put it aside, and then went back and forth to pour tea for Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi drank the second cup of tea slowly and was about to drink the third cup, when Yuan Guan Shi finally explained the 66th taste, he swallowed, his face full of worried wrinkles: "Sir, this flaming bird tail flower Maybe we need to go there in person."
The poisonous lady said by the side: "The fire ling bird tail flower will lose its efficacy after two hours. We have to bring other 71 herbs to refine as soon as possible after picking the flowers. Moreover, the fire ling bird tail flower is more dangerous than dangerous. The land is not easy to pick.”
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes, looked at Wu Weian calmly, and did not interrupt.
Wu Weian's voice sounded, and he sighed slightly: "This is a bit labor-intensive and costly."
Those people he arranged were not for taking medicines. Once the medicines were taken, their whereabouts might be revealed, and it would be a bit troublesome to use them later.
Moreover, when it was sent from various places, it took a lot of time not to mention, and the money needed on the way was not a small amount.
The round steward also fell silent.
Recently, the casino and the cloth house have made profits, but the money is thrown everywhere, and there is nothing left.
He had calculated the difference that the son owed a few days ago, and there were still seven cities, sixteen counties, and thirty-three townships to pay the brothers.
Not only that, the brothers are always on the move, and they will continue to generate bad money.
The round steward sighed.
He glanced at Ji Yunxi subconsciously, and even asked the young master to get some money from his wife.
But he thought, it's not about money.
The silver money for the delivery of medicinal materials can still be transferred from other places.
The hardest thing about this is manpower.
Brothers from all over the world are asked to help find and collect herbs. Those herbs are not easy to pick, and they even worry about their lives. They cannot be bought with money.
"Forget it, that's the only way." Wu Weian handed back the sorted prescription, "You did a good job, so just follow your arrangement. As for the fire ling bird tail flower, I will find a way."
Ji Yunxi put down the tea cup and glanced at Wu Weian again.
His face was indifferent, but Ji Yunxi just saw that he was a little distracted.
After admiring it for a while, she got up holding the box and walked towards them.
Wu Weian, together with the five round stewards, all looked at her subconsciously with doubts on their faces.
Generally speaking, when they talk about business, the wife never bothers, and everyone does not make water in the river.
This time, what does Mrs. want to do
Wu Weian subconsciously looked at the box in her hand.
Wouldn't there be money in it? In order to subsidize him everywhere to find medicine
But it was not until the box was opened that Wu Weian realized that he guessed wrong.
There are herbs in it.
The medicinal herbs are sealed in a special small box.
The poisonous lady swallowed saliva subconsciously, and she couldn't move her eyes when she touched her head.
Only she knows best what this box of medicinal materials means.
Ji Yunxi said lightly: "There are still more than a dozen flavors on the way." She looked at Wu Weian, "Except for the fire ling bird tail flower, everything is ready."
He subconsciously asked, "How did you get it?"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows: "? I bought it." This is no nonsense, otherwise what? She doesn't take medicine.
Yuan Guanshi was shocked, and he, who has always been steady, lost his sense of balance for a while: "Can you buy these too?"
Ji Yunxi hummed.
Looking at her bright and moving face, but with a light-hearted expression, Wu Weian's heart skipped a beat.
The author has something to say: Thinking of the poor: Do yourself a favor, these herbs cannot be bought with money anyway.
Rich people's thinking: spend money to do things, as long as there is enough money.
