Early the next morning, the sky was bright.
Old Qin covered his head and got up from the ground and went downstairs to look for food, and saw Wu Weian sitting on the rocking chair in the back garden.
Qin Lao walked over and said, "this time the plum wine is a little strong, and I feel dizzy. How do you feel?"
Wu Weian raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes were extremely cold.
Qin Lao was puzzled: "what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be in a good mood. Where's your wife? Haven't you gotten up yet? Madam hasn't gotten up yet, what are you doing up so early? "
Wu Weian closed his eyes and called, "Xuezhu."
The person sweeping the floor came to Wu Weian silently: "Yes."
Wu Weian: "Throw it away."
Xuezhu glanced at Qin Lao and nodded.
Old Qin didn't realize the danger yet, so he guessed: "Isn't it because of a quarrel with your wife? Because you drank last night?... Hey! What are you doing, Xuezhu! Let me down!"
Wu Weian rubbed his eyebrows and said unhappily, "Xuezhu, it's too noisy."
"Oh." Xuezhu thought for a while, and put the handkerchief in Qin Lao's mouth, with serious eyes, "I washed it very clean."
Then he carried Elder Qin, left through the back door of Huaman Inn, and threw him to the back door of the bathhouse.
He felt that Qin Lao should take a good shower.
Ji Yunxi didn't get up until after Xuezhu finished throwing Old Qin back and swept the corridors up and down the inn.
She went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor for breakfast.
The inn was packaged, and only one table was used in the spacious lobby.
On the table, Wu Weian was already sitting there, drinking tea leisurely with a cup of tea in his hand.
Hearing the movement, he glanced sideways, with a smile on his face: "Morning."
Ji Yunxi walked over and said casually, "Morning, where is the sixth brother?"
Wu Weian poured her a glass of water: "I went out half a quarter of an hour ago."
"Yeah." Ji Yunxi took the water, took a sip, and started to eat breakfast with a natural look.
As if nothing happened last night.
Wu Weian lowered his eyes, bit the crystal bag in his mouth lightly, thought for a moment in his heart, raised his head, and said with a smile: "I was drunk last night, it was me who was abrupt."
Ji Yunxi's expression was the same as usual, not like the slightly flamboyant smile last night, nor the shyness of her youngest daughter: "It's okay, it's just a small matter, you and I don't need to worry about it. It's you, drink less wine in the future."
Wu Weian paused, and the smile on his face faded: "...Okay."
Ji Yunxi glanced at him calmly, then withdrew her gaze, her lips slightly hooked, and a piece of wine lees was caught.
The distiller's grains meat is salty, and when I eat it, I take a deep breath.
Tongue is a little sore.
This dog man.
Wu Weian held his face in one hand, and stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon with one hand: "But why did Madam ask me that last night?"
Ji Yunxi's hand holding the chopsticks froze.
When she lay in bed last night, she realized she had asked the wrong question.
She shouldn't have asked.
At that time, keeping silent, saying nothing, and asking nothing was the best way to deal with it.
But although Ji Yunxi has been in the business world for many years, she is the first time to enter the game in love.
There is only theory, not much practical experience, and it is normal to make mistakes.
But this is the first time for this man.
And he only lived for 18 years in ancient times, so he shouldn't be better than her who has lived two lives and has been infected in modern times.
He can't necessarily catch her loophole.
But in the end, a dog man is a dog man.
Not to be taken lightly.
Ji Yunxi swallowed the wine lees and meat in his mouth and scooped a spoonful of white porridge: "It's not interesting to ask casually, don't think too much."
"How can I not think too much?" Wu Weian looked affectionate, "You asked me if I like you, I thought about it all night last night, and I don't know if I did something wrong to make you have this illusion. You You know, in order to hide my strength, I occasionally do things that are inconsistent between the surface and the surface."
Ji Yunxi listened quietly.
I could even guess what he was going to say.
One of the modern scumbag quotes, you may have misunderstood, I don't like you that much. Kissing you is also drunk and not very rational.
and so on.
"But this is the only thing that I have to clarify with Madam." Wu Weian said softly, "How could I not like you."
Ji Yunxi: "?"
Wu Weian stretched out his hand and wrapped the broken hair on the side of her ear behind her ear: "At the beginning of last year, when my father and I proposed marriage to the Ji family, I fell in love with you."
Grass.
Ji Yunxi's heart burst into foul language.
He might as well say 'You may have misunderstood, I don't like you that much. '
Ji Yunxi smiled perfunctorily, obviously not believing: "Really?"
"Yes." Wu Weian's tone was light, but his face was extraordinarily serious and determined, "Madam may not believe it, but it is true. Madam doesn't have to be so unconfident in herself."
Ji Yunxi woke up this morning, and she was in a good mood, but at this moment, she couldn't have breakfast.
Wu Weian sighed lightly: "It's Madam, do you like me?"
Ji Yunxi looked at him with deep eyes.
Wu Weian's eyes never averted, waiting patiently for her to answer.
After a long while, Ji Yunxi withdrew his gaze, put down the spoon, and stood up.
She walked over to him, bent down, and whispered in his ear, "Can't you feel it?"
Wu Weian's ears trembled slightly, thinking of the woman's sweet lips and tongue last night, breathing slightly: "What?"
"I like you, or I don't like you, can't you feel it?" Ji Yunxi sighed.
She shook her head slightly, straightened up and planned to leave.
Wu Weian was quick-witted and grabbed her wrist.
"I can't feel it." He raised his head, "It's better to say it bluntly, Madam. I can stand it no matter what the answer is."
Ji Yunxi gritted his teeth.
She closed her eyes, then opened them: "Forget it, I don't really want to say it. Besides, is it so important to like it or not?"
Wu Weian chuckled: "Yeah, it's my demon, in short, you are the wife I am marrying."
He gently rubbed the skin between her wrists, his eyes flickering slightly: "I only realized last night that a spring night is worth a thousand dollars. When we arrive in Liangzhou, we will find a way to detoxify the fire ling bird tail flower as soon as possible."
*
In mid-March, after a month and a half, the group finally arrived in Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is located in the East River Basin. Although it is not as poor as Shazhou further west, it is not a place of wealth.
On the day Ji Yunxi and his party arrived, Liangzhou officials, large and small, personally welcomed them into the city.
The movement is not small, but there are not many people watching.
On the way to the government office, Ji Yunxi looked around.
She noticed that the people in Liangzhou were different from the people in Shangjing.
She lowered the curtain of the car, looked back thoughtfully, and happened to meet Wu Weian.
He smiled at her and took a sip of tea.
Ji Yunxi and the others had just arrived, and the residence needed to be cleaned up. Wu Weian said a few words of high morale and encouragement, and let these Liangzhou officials leave first.
Xuezhu picked up the broom and began to sweep the floor frantically.
Although this mansion had been cleaned before and after, but in Xuezhu's eyes, it was almost as if it had not been cleaned.
The poisonous lady went to her kitchen for the first time, and Ji Mingyan followed her.
He rubbed his hands excitedly: "I haven't cooked for a long time! I'm almost suffocated. Sister Ah Du, you rest tonight and leave the cooking to me!!"
It is true that Ji Mingyan hasn't poisoned for a long time. He was busy with his brother-in-law's Golden Toad Gu before.
Therefore, the poisonous lady agreed: "Okay! I'll leave dinner to you tonight! I'll go back to the house to clean up!"
Ji Mingyan rubbed his shoulders and started to study tonight's dinner with enthusiasm.
On the other side, Wu Weian rolled up his sleeves, took a stack of books from the car and walked into the bedroom.
Ji Yunxi stood in the room, frowning and instructing Baofu: "This table has been replaced with a new one, and these ornaments have also been replaced. Don't put clothes hangers here, replace them... This one has also been changed... "
Wu Weian shook his head and sorted out the books by himself. After Ji Yunxi finished explaining, he took out an invitation to her.
Ji Yunxi glanced at it and didn't answer, "What's the matter?"
Wu Weian resignedly took the invitation back: "The owner of the Xie family just sent it, saying that it is his eldest grandson's full moon wine tonight, let us two go."
The Xie family is a famous local clan in Liangzhou.
In these prefectures and counties, the prestige of the local clan was even greater than that of the officials of the imperial court.
There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.
"Tonight?" Ji Yunxi looked at the bedroom where there were still many places to be laid out, and frowned, "I don't want to go, just go by yourself."
When Wu Weian arrived in Liangzhou for the first time, he would go to the dinner party of the head of the Xie family, even if it was a Hongmen banquet.
He played with the invitation card in his hand and said leisurely, "I just came in and passed the kitchen and saw your sixth brother cooking."
Ji Yunxi: "..."
…
After half an hour, Wu Weian, who was waiting at the door, raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Ji Yunxi walking by.
Different from Feng Guanxia's dress in Shangjing, Ji Yunxi looked very low-key tonight.
She was wearing a royal blue dress, which was dark in color and had a very ordinary style. The hair accessories are even simpler, with only a Hetian jade hairpin inserted. With gentle willow eyebrows, light powdered mouth grease, and very refreshing makeup, the whole person looks extraordinarily gentle.
It was completely different from her magnificent dress in Shangjing.
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows: "Why did you change into such a suit."
Ji Yunxi stepped into the carriage: "In Liangzhou, it's better to keep a low profile."
Liangzhou is far from Shangjing, even if you have heard of Ji Yunxi's name, when you see her appearance, she will definitely judge by the feeling of meeting.
She is now not the third girl from the Ji family in Shangjing, but the wife of Lord Zhizhou.
So, keep a low profile.
Wu Weian smiled: "Madam looks good dressed like this."
Since that night, after Wu Weian admitted that he liked her, he became more and more shameless, and all kinds of love words came.
Ji Yunxi's reaction was flat: "Oh."
Whoever takes it seriously loses.
The carriage stopped at the gate of a compound.
This compound is a hundred times more imposing than the government office, and it is not even inferior to the Ji family's courtyard in Shangjing.
The head of the Xie family and the wife of the head of the family came out to greet them in person, and the two of them were about to salute.
Wu Weian stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the Patriarch Xie, with childishness written on his delicate and delicate face: "Patriarch Xie doesn't need to be more polite, it is in different generations, Patriarch Xie is the same generation as Patriarch, how dare Wei'an accept this gift from Patriarch? "
The head of the Xie family has a fat head and big ears, and he laughed when he heard the words: "I heard earlier that the adults who took office this time are only a dozen or so. Today, I see that the adults are really young and promising. Not as young as me, the same age as you, I have been taking the imperial examinations for several years, but I haven't passed the exam."
Wu Weian accompanied the head of the Xie family to enter the door, and said in a greeting: "Speaking of which, the full moon wine tonight is the son of the child in the mouth of the head of the Xie family?"
The head of the Xie family patted Wu Weian: "Yes, it's him. Actually, my eldest grandson had a full moon three days ago, but I heard that the lord will only be here today, so I changed it to today."
Wu Weian looked flattered: "This, this, this..."
In the front, two men, one old and one young, were chatting, and then Madam Xie also took Ji Yunxi's hand, with the same expression on her face as her husband's: "Mr. Wu is so lucky, the lady in the family is so beautiful."
Ji Yunxi smiled warmly, her expression slightly shy: "Madam's words are serious."
The Xie family's full moon wine is extravagant, and there are famous people in Liangzhou.
Even the Liangzhou officials who had just said goodbye to them were there.
Many people came to the main table to toast Xie Patriarch and Wu Weian.
Wu Weian declined: "I'm ashamed to say that, I'm light in alcohol, so I can't drink very well. I just arrived in Liangzhou tonight, and I have to take care of other affairs when I go back. I really can't drink alcohol."
But he refused, but with everyone's enthusiasm, he drank two or three glasses. After a while, his face turned slightly red.
And he also glanced sideways and forward from time to time.
There was a beautiful woman sitting there, holding a big fat child in her arms.
Next to the beautiful woman, sat Xie Bin, the eldest young master of the Xie family.
Xie Bin was just like his parents, with a round body, and his face was so fat that there was only a slit left in his eyes.
At this time, at the seam, he kept staring at Ji Yunxi, and after looking at it, he reached out and touched his wife's thigh.
Ji Yunxi felt this person's gaze, and frowned slightly, as if she shrank slightly in fear towards Wu Weian.
Wu Weian was unaware, and still joked with the guests, occasionally still looking at Xie Bin.
Family Master Xie and Mrs. Xie took all this into consideration, and after a while, they left the table one after the other and went to the nearby wing to discuss.
Mrs. Xie: "Master, can you see what happened? Then Wu Weian, can you buy it?"
The head of the Xie family sneered: "Naturally. This man said he didn't drink at first, but when others complimented him, he drank it. Have you seen his wife? Such beauty shows that he must be a lover of beauty, and Look at our daughter-in-law as soon as it comes to the table! People who love beauty have always been greedy for money. You don't have to worry about Abin."
Mrs. Xie: "Then Mrs. Wu is also a soft-hearted little lady, but Abin keeps looking at her. I'm afraid that Abin has no sense! It's just the woman next to her, but that's Mrs. Zhizhou!"
Mr. Xie frowned: "After the banquet tonight, you should talk to Abin! He should make up his mind now that Haosheng will study and take the exam!"
Mrs. Xie: "I see, I know! After the banquet is over, I'll take Mrs. Wu to drink tea. You also hurry to find Mr. Wu, otherwise my mother's heart will be uneasy."
After the couple said a few words, they returned to the table and continued to enjoy the banquet.
At the same time, in the backyard of the government office, Yuan Steward, Xuezhu, Poison Lady, and the House Elder were already sitting at the table waiting for dinner.
The poisonous lady asked the elder of the house: "Why did you come out tonight?"
The elder of the house shrunk: "I'm hungry."
Along the way, his reserves have been exhausted. And they had just arrived in Liangzhou today, and there was nothing in the kitchen, so he could only come out and wait for the meal.
Xuezhu sat upright and didn't say anything, but his stomach also screamed.
He was also really hungry.
Sweeping is laborious.
Seeing the late dinner, the poisonous lady shouted: "Ji Mingyan! Are you okay!!"
Now that the Young Master and Madam are not there, she naturally has no scruples, and her shout almost breaks through the sky.
The other three silently covered their ears.
Ji Mingyan's voice came: "Come on, come on."
He trotted in with the plate containing the vegetables, and then put the dishes on the plate one by one on the table.
Xuezhu had already picked up the chopsticks and straightened his waist slightly, ready to start.
The house elder also opened his eyes.
The poisonous lady is even more eager to try.
When they eat, they always grab meat dishes first.
Mainly in the past few years, I got used to it.
The round steward was reluctant to fight with these people at first.
After all, he is the oldest, so he can be the grandfather of Xuezhu and Poison Lady, and the uncle of the elder of the house.
But later, Yuan Guanshi found out that if he didn't grab it, he would never be able to eat meat.
So now, Yuan Guanshi is also ready to grab food, just waiting for Ji Mingyan to put down the dishes.
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the vegetable bowl in Ji Mingyan's hand finally landed on the table.
Everyone looked condensed, and when the chopsticks moved, they wanted to grab it.
But after they saw it clearly, the chopsticks stopped in mid-air.
That is supposed to be a fish.
But why, the fish is blue.
It's like a blue sky during the day, but when this blueness comes to food, it's not very appetizing.
Ji Mingyan's dishes were placed on the table one by one.
But every time, the chopsticks of the four people retracted a step.
The poisonous lady slapped her palm: "Ji Mingyan!! What are you burning up!!!"
Ji Mingyan touched his head: "What did you say?"
The poisonous lady pointed her finger.
Ji Mingyan: "That's boiled fish, I specially cooked it with black bluegrass..."
The room was dead silent.
The poisonous lady suddenly remembered that at the beginning of last year, when the son was preparing for the spring meal, Ji Mingyan sent those strange soups.
She should have remembered sooner.
How could she forget it
Xuezhu put down his chopsticks, placed the two chopsticks flat, then stood up silently, set up the chair, and by the way, set the fish upright before leaving the table silently.
He went to Baofu's side.
These maids of the madam never eat with them and have their own small kitchen.
At this moment, although the table they were dining on was not a big fish or meat, everything was full of color and flavor.
Ji Yunxi brought her evening fragrance when she went out today, and left Baofu at home to make arrangements.
Baofu saw Snow Bamboo, and his attitude was very good: "Have you eaten yet? Come, come, and eat with us."
Xuezhu sat down obediently, and ate quietly but quickly.
Relying on his diligent sweeping style, he enjoyed himself very much among the maids like Mrs.
These maids and sisters like to occasionally stuff him with candy, fruit, snacks and the like.
Not long after, the poisonous lady also came.
Then, the round steward came along.
In the end, the house elder came too cheeky.
Baofu frowned and looked at the house elder vigilantly: "Who are you?! How dare you break into the prefectural government office!"
The elder of the house bowed his head: "The slave is the servant of my son."
Baofu didn't believe it at all: "I haven't seen you."
The elder of the house shrank back: "The newcomer."
In the end, it was Yuan Guanshi, the poisonous lady, and Xuezhu who testified for him, and Baofu was willing to let the elders sit down to eat.
*
Thank you, I have been drinking for three tours.
Wu Weian and Ji Yunxi wanted to say goodbye, but Madam Xie happily took Ji Yunxi's hand: "Mother Yun, how about a cup of tea in my aunt's house?"
The head of the Xie family also smiled: "Master Wei An, I just recently received a calligraphy and painting, and I said it was a bamboo and stone picture that I asked Mr. An about. I think you scholars will love these. Would you like to come and see it with me."
Hearing Mr. Wen'an's picture of bamboo and stone, the slightly drunk Wu Weian's eyes lit up and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
He looked at Ji Yunxi, and his tone was somewhat instructive: "Then Madam, let's go have a cup of tea."
Ji Yunxi nodded 'resignedly' and followed Madam Xie away.
Wu Weian also followed the Xie family to the study.
The bamboo and stone picture was hung on the main hall, and the Xie family's face was full of pride: "See? This is Mr. Wen's bamboo and stone picture! There are only nine pictures in the world, I have one, and I still spend five Qianliang bought it!"
He held up five fat fingers, exposing the emerald gems on them that gleamed in the candlelight.
Wu Weian put his hands behind his back and looked deeply at the bamboo and stone picture.
I don't know what would happen to the other party if he told the master that this bamboo and stone picture was fake
As for Mr. An's genuine work, five thousand taels can't be bought at all. The picture in Ji Yunxi's hand was sold for 15,000 yuan, and Ji Mingxi was not willing to spend the money.
Xie Patriarch looked at Wu Weian, who was obsessed next to him, took out a box from the side, and handed it to Wu Weian.
Wu Weian took it naturally.
Xie Patriarch took this action in his eyes calmly.
The newly appointed Master Zhizhou, this gesture, you can see that he is not greedy for money at a glance, his hands already have instinct.
Patriarch Xie said cheerfully: "A little gift for Lord Wei'an to take office, it's not much, it's only five hundred taels."
He said it was not much, but in fact he felt that he had given a lot.
When the last Zhizhou adult first took office, he gave three hundred taels, and the other party was already very satisfied.
But what about Wu Weian? The other party came from Shangjing, and he was young and promising. He might become a high-ranking official in the capital in the future. Of course, he was willing to give more.
Wu Weian lifted the lid and took a look.
On the way to the study, Wu Weian was also guessing how much the Xie family head would bribe him.
He thought at least a few thousand taels.
But the result, five hundred taels
That's it? ?
The head of the Xie family saw that Wu Weian looked at the silver pair inside and did not speak, thinking that the other party was struggling between justice and evil, and he was swaying, so he followed suit and said: "I have no other intentions. The conditions of the Liangzhou government are not very good, and I want to live a good life. Even better, it will cost a lot of money. But Lord An will worry about this and that for me in Liangzhou in the future, and I will naturally want the best food and drink."
"Furthermore, if you have a place to spend money in the future, you can come to me at any time. And this bamboo and stone picture—" The words of the Xie family's head have deep meaning, "If my Xie family and Lord Wei'an have a deep relationship in the future, this bamboo stone will The picture can also be given to you, Lord Wei'an. We are coming to Japan for a long time."
The author has something to say: Wu Da: I was blind and I acted for one night, and the result was 500 taels. Who do I look down on
