Ji Yunxi's right hand was scalded, and after a few days of ointment, it was almost healed.
For the next few days, the rain was still pouring down.
There was a flood in Liangzhou eight years ago, and every rainy season in the following years has always flooded the city.
At this time, the material reserves of each household are particularly important.
However, Ji Yunxi did not panic.
She also has Kaitai Village in Liangzhou. Before she arrived in Liangzhou, she had asked the shopkeeper of Kaitai Village in Liangzhou to buy enough supplies and filled the family's granary.
Not only that, but now, everything is available in Taizhuang, Buzhuang and the newly opened Liangzhou Escort Bureau.
You have food in your hands, don't panic.
Wherever Ji Yunxi goes, her warehouse must be full.
Today, Ji Yunxi's granary is also Wu Weian's granary.
This morning, before he went out, he specially walked around the granary at home.
The best rice and flour are stacked in three layers and three layers out of the barn.
Wu Weian was in a good mood, he walked to the palace with an oil-paper umbrella, and called the government officials to come over.
Yu Li respectfully said: "Xiaguan sees the lord, I don't know why the lord called the servant?"
Wu Weian leaned back lazily behind the chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and asked, "How many grains, rice, noodles, clothes, quilts, etc. are there in our warehouse in Liangzhou?"
But it was obvious that the reply from Li Li was not what Wu Weian wanted to hear.
He had asked about the money experience earlier, and learned that the Liangzhou government's treasury silver was in the early 100 taels, and there were few items in the warehouse, which was reasonable.
It is really sad and deplorable to say, the dignified Liangzhou government has only so little money and materials, and his wife is like heaven and earth.
Just a little better than him.
The one who knew the state in the first place was really not a good person.
He knew that the rainy season would come after the new year, but he still left him with a nearly empty government office.
Yu Li boldly raised his head and looked at Lord Zhizhou above him.
Everyone in Liangzhou City knew about the feat in front of this lord.
Yu Li has also been very worried recently. Seeing that the rainy season has come, if the water really enters the city of Liangzhou, the people will suffer disasters. At that time, there will be insufficient grain and grass in the granary, but the people will suffer.
This Lord Zhizhou is a good official, and the official said bluntly to Wu Weian: "Master Wu, now our Liangzhou government has insufficient food and grass. If there is a disaster in Liangzhou City, I am afraid that it will not last for a few days."
Wu Weian heard what Yu Li meant.
This one also took money from him to buy grain and grass to fill the granary.
Now, the round steward no longer asks him for money. If there is a shortage of money, he goes directly to Baofu.
Wu Weian originally thought that he would get out of the sea of misery, but now, there are more officials.
But this is a matter of Liangzhou City. Although he is the Lord Zhizhou, but Liangzhou City is not his, there is no reason for him to add money to it himself
He is not greedy for the money of the government office, and he is already worthy of the people of Liangzhou.
The people of Liangzhou, I really have to thank his wife.
"I see." Wu Weian sighed, "Go down first and let me think of a way."
…
During dinner in the evening, Wu Weian told Ji Yunxi about it like a small talk.
Ji Yunxi didn't have any appetite, she ate bite after bite, she heard the words and asked, "What do you think of?"
Wu Weian looked at her still full rice bowl, and put a piece of chopped pepper fish head in her bowl to eat: "I will send a letter immediately and ask for money from the capital."
In the past, the round steward urged him to ask for money, but there was no one above him.
But now, of course, he wants to ask the emperor for money.
Ji Yunxi glanced at him, almost certain: "You can't get it."
The emperor wished that they were struggling in Liangzhou, unable to move an inch, how could they be able to transfer silver taels
Wu Weian didn't care too much: "It's okay, I wrote dozens of letters in a row, and I plan to send a letter to the capital every three or five to urge the saint."
Ji Yunxi looked at him speechlessly.
She felt that he should have been called for debts in the first place, and now that he finally had the opportunity to remind others, he wrote dozens of letters together and enjoyed it.
She skipped the topic: "But now it's imminent. Even if the saints give money, they won't be able to reach Liangzhou for a while."
Wu Weian: "Wen Zhaomo and the three of them, did I mention it to you before?"
Ji Yunxi thought for a moment: "You said that you let Xuezhu beat them up and let them spit out the greedy silver?"
Wu Weian nodded and chuckled: "I just thought of them when the officials urged me. At first I gave them three months, but now it's more than a month. But as long as they can't beat Xuezhu, it's still me for a few months. Do you have the final say?"
The three people's greed for silver added up to several thousand taels.
Wu Weian specially asked Xuezhu to follow them home to get the silver money, and then asked Xuezhu to give the silver money to the officials to replenish food and grass.
This is almost over.
The two also talked back and forth about a cup of tea. Wu Weian looked at her bowl. In her bowl, the fish head and rice with chopped peppers and rice were still untouched.
Wu Weian sighed, thought about it, and suddenly asked, "How did your hand get burned that day?"
Ji Yunxi was poking at the bowl with chopsticks in his right hand. Hearing that, he paused and looked up at him.
She thought he wouldn't ask.
Ji Yunxi retracted his gaze: "The tea was scalded."
"Oh." Wu Weian nodded, "When someone handed you tea, spilled it on your hand?"
What did he ask, what did Ji Yunxi reply, he would not answer, nor would he answer more: "No, I spilled it myself."
"Why?" Wu Weian lowered his eyes, took a spoon and scooped a bowl of chicken soup, "What did the other party tell you? Madam should not be such a careless person."
Ji Yunxi looked at the bowl of chicken soup placed in front of her, and pursed her lips lightly: "My father and mother died of floods in Liangzhou eight years ago, you know?"
Hearing this, Wu Weian was slightly surprised.
It wasn't because his father-in-law and mother-in-law died of floods in Liangzhou eight years ago, he knew it.
He even set about having the round steward check, but nothing came up.
He was surprised that she actually said it.
Wu Weian nodded: "I heard something."
"Yeah." Ji Yunxi really had no appetite, she simply put down the chopsticks and looked forward, "I always feel that the death of my father and mother is not easy."
Wu Weian nodded again.
He also felt that it was not simple, as if someone controlled everything in it.
Eight years ago, the person in this world who wanted his father-in-law and mother-in-law to die the most was the one who refused to give him money from Liangzhou except for the enemies of the Ji family.
Ji Yunxi's parents were not ordinary people either.
Today's sainthood is inseparable from the support of the Li family and the Ji family.
Killing the Ji family's parents, leaving only a few young children in the Ji family, there is no threat to the Ji family.
It's just that the other party may not have thought that the Ji family could have another Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi sighed lightly: "But no matter how I investigate, it seems that my parents really died just because they saved people."
She was even sure who the murderer was, but in the end she told her that her parents were not killed by anyone.
Maybe the other party wanted to harm, but it should not be successful, but died because of an accident.
Such results are always frustrating.
Like a fist on cotton.
Wu Weian turned his head to look at her, thought about it, and said, "Wait.
Ji Yunxi: "?"
Wu Weian picked up the chopsticks and pondered: "That person sent me to Liangzhou, he must have his deep meaning. When you can't find an exit in the fog, just wait."
Ji Yunxi didn't speak, she silently looked at his chopsticks, swept over the vegetable bowl along the way, stretched it into her bowl, and took away the fish that he threw in earlier.
Aware of her gaze, Wu Weian paused with chopsticks and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head: "No."
So Wu Weian clipped it back and put it in his mouth.
Ji Yunxi: "..."
Wu Weian eats two bowls of rice every night.
He has eaten a bowl now, and the bowl is clean, without a grain of rice.
He looked at her still full bowl and asked, "Then do you still eat your rice?"
Ji Yunxi's face was expressionless, but it really opened the corners of her eyes, and her eyelids couldn't help twitching.
"I'll take it if you don't eat it?" Wu Weian said, "I've been walking around in the past few days, only to realize that food is not easy. It's good for ordinary people to have a full meal. We should also be diligent and thrifty and take good care of food. Yesterday, you also Didn't eat much…”
Ji Yunxi couldn't listen anymore, got up and left.
Sitting down again, she was afraid that she would waste the food and deduct his head of rice.
Wu Weian looked at Ji Yunxi's back and sighed softly, reached for Ji Yunxi's bowl, and poured all the rice in her bowl into his own.
Ji Yunxi has a poor appetite. She hasn't eaten much these days, and she doesn't feel hungry at night.
But tonight, lying in bed, she felt that her stomach was empty, like a thatched hut leaking air.
Before long, the thatched cottage began to cry.
Ji Yunxi: "..."
The man buried his face between her necks, smirking.
When he laughed, the breath sprayed, which made Ji Yunxi very annoyed.
As soon as she bent her legs, Wu Weian stretched out his hands and pressed her legs with lightning speed.
Although it was raining, it was still a little hot in May.
Ji Yunxi changed into soft yarn bedclothes, and the trouser legs were shrunk up due to the material.
Her calf is very thin, and Wu Weian happens to have ten slender fingers, just enough to hold most of them with one button.
The atmosphere changed slightly for a while.
The original schadenfreude laughter changed inexplicably, Wu Weian asked in a hoarse voice, "Hungry?"
Ji Yunxi: "..."
"At this point, the poisonous lady and the others should rest." Wu Weian gave her analysis in a soft voice, "Madame doesn't seem to know how to cook. What do you think is good? Do you want to be hungry until dawn?"
Ji Yunxi laughed angrily: "I call Baofu."
Wu Weian's lips were placed between her ears: "Wake her up in the rainy night, are you willing?"
Ji Yunxi trembled lightly, and she shook her head for a while, but did not speak.
"My cooking skills are actually pretty good. I can cook anything you want. But—" Wu Weian gasped for breath, "you have to kiss me."
This man has always been shrewd and observant.
Seemingly feeling Ji Yunxi's reaction, he pressed closer to her auricle, testing it little by little.
In the dark night, the corners of Ji Yunxi's eyes were slightly red, and she subconsciously leaned back.
She grabbed his sleeve and took a deep breath, but her voice was unsteady when she spoke.
But she said, "Okay."
Wu Weian paused slightly.
Ji Yunxi struggled to turn over, turned from his back to him, and asked calmly, "Where do you want me to kiss?"
Wu Weian raised his upper body, put his hands on his side, and looked down at her. The lights were not turned on in the room, but after looking for a long time, I could see hazy shadows.
Wu Weian has always been sensitive to danger.
He said: "No, I said it casually."
Ji Yunxi sneered: "Really?"
"Well." Wu Weian looked at his nose, nose and heart, and got up from the bed, "I'll go get you something to eat."
When he was done, he turned on the light and left.
Ji Yunxi waited for him to leave the room, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to wipe his slightly damp ear.
…
On the second day, the sky was rarely sunny.
Aunt Gui, who was stranded in Liangzhou due to rain, set off for Qinghe County early in the morning.
In the backyard of the mansion, while the others were still sleeping soundly, Xuezhu also got up early.
Because he heard it, there was finally no sound of rain outside.
The rain for several days ahead made Xuezhu depressed for several days.
It's not easy to clean on rainy days, and no matter how hard you clean it, it still feels unclean.
When other people come in from outside, they always bring in rainwater, making the ground mottled.
Well now, the sky finally clears up!
Xuezhu took the broom and mop, and at dawn, began to diligently clean up.
Just passed the kitchen room and found that the kitchen door was open.
In the past, the kitchen was the place of the poisonous lady, and Xuezhu never went in.
But now, there are not only them and the son, but also the wife and the others in the courtyard.
Therefore, the poisonous lady paid a lot of attention, and instead of putting poisonous powder in the kitchen, it was transferred to the grocery room.
So in the kitchen, Xuezhu was finally able to clean up.
But last night, he obviously slept after cleaning up the kitchen, and he closed the door before leaving.
Xuezhu shook his head, unable to bear the door being left open, and just as he walked over to close the door, he found that the kitchen had obviously been used.
One pot, two bowls, with two empty egg shells and rotten green leaves beside them.
The pots and bowls were clean and there was nothing left other than oil stains.
Xuezhu stared at it for a while, then stretched out his hand and began to tidy up quickly, washed the bowl and pot, and put it back in place.
*
The next ten days were sunny.
Together with Qian Cheng, Yu Li bought a lot of grain and grass from various places, and these days happened to be almost here, and the warehouse of Liangzhou Prefecture was full.
During the day, Wu Weian specially went to see it, and before he was ready to go to bed at night, he suddenly said to Ji Yunxi: "I finally understand now why everyone loves the position of the ninety-five."
Ji Yunxi raised her eyes and glanced at him slowly: "Why, everything in your government's granary has arrived."
Wu Weian laughed: "As expected of my wife, guess what."
Ji Yunxi snorted softly.
Wu Weian sighed: "When I went to see it during the day, I was quite happy. But then I think about it, no matter how full the stuff in the Liangzhou warehouse is, it's not mine. But isn't it all that person's in the world?"
Ji Yunxi pulled off the quilt and lay down, and said indifferently, "You want to usurp the throne?"
Words that are particularly taboo in the eyes of others, but coming out of Ji Yunxi's mouth, are so common.
Wu Weian laughed dumbly: "Aren't you afraid that the walls have ears?"
Ji Yunxi: "On the left is Xuezhu, and on the right is Wanxiang."
Wu Weian chuckled: "That won't happen, I'm not interested in that position."
Ji Yunxi looked at him with a little warning: "It's better."
Although the three guardians said that Wu Weian was indeed the child of Lord Wu, who knew if the other party meant to usurp the throne.
Anyway, Ji Yunxi definitely didn't want to be the queen.
Too unfree.
Those two positions seem to be respected by the ninety-five, and everyone fears and respects them.
But in Ji Yunxi's view, whether it is an emperor or a queen, they can't leave the palace for the rest of their lives. How is it different from a bird in a cage
Although Ji Yunxi doesn't like to move places very much.
But I don't want to move, or I can't move, these are completely two concepts.
Freedom is the right to choose.
Ji Yunxi is not too sleepy yet, so it is rare to have the mood to say a few more words: "In my mind, the crown prince is the best candidate, you are not."
Wu Weian thought about the prince.
He was in Shangjing, and although he belonged to the prince's party, he didn't have much interaction with the prince.
However, after a few encounters, it can be seen that if the prince can ascend to the throne, he will be a king who loves the people.
The two chatted a few more words, and then fell asleep embracing each other in a daze.
Half an hour after sleeping, someone hurriedly knocked on the door.
First, the voice of the round manager: "Young master, wake up, the prince is here!"
Then Wanxiang's voice: "Miss, the prince and the seventh master are here."
Of the two people in the room, Wu Weian was the first to wake up.
He opened his eyes, sleepiness flashed in his eyes, replaced by a deep pool of light.
Ji Yunxi was still a little confused for a while.
She propped up the bed with one hand and staggered to get up, Wu Wei'an subconsciously pulled her.
Ji Yunxi gradually regained clarity: "Prince?"
The news was so absurd that for a while, Ji Yunxi wondered if she had heard it wrong.
This was really beyond Wu Weian's expectations. He looked out the door and said solemnly, "Where's the prince?"
Yuan Guan said: "In the side room, the prince was injured, and Xue Zhu was helping to bandage it."
Wu Weian and Ji Yunxi looked at each other.
Ji Yunxi asked subconsciously, "Where's the seventh brother?"
Wanxiang said: "Seventh Master also has trauma, but they are all minor injuries."
Ji Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
The two didn't say anything else, they changed their clothes and rushed to the side room.
The prince was injured by an arrow, but fortunately, he was pulled by Ji Mingshuang in time, and his five internal organs were not injured.
Ji Mingshuang's injuries were less severe than that of the prince, and he was slashed with a sword on his left shoulder.
The prince was lying on the bed, with Xuezhu sitting beside him, burning the scissors back and forth with the lit candle, and then cutting the clothes around the arrow.
The snow bamboo was cut neatly and neatly, and it did not use any amount. It was just cut into a perfect circle, and the fabric was not damaged at all, and it did not touch the wound at all.
On the couch next to the bed, Ji Ming was sitting with his fronts upright.
He pulled his sleeves, his face tensed, and his face was full of rejection: "No need."
Ji Mingshuang looked at Xuezhu and said, "After Xuezhu has been dealt with by His Royal Highness, you can help me drop by."
Ji Mingyan tugged at Ji Mingshuang's sleeve, and his face was full of distress: "Mingshuang, your wound is very deep! It can't be delayed. After Xuezhu is finished with His Highness, you won't be able to take this hand! Don't worry, leave it all to the sixth brother!"
After speaking, he patted his chest.
Ji Mingshuang clung to his sleeves tightly: "It's not very deep, and the blood doesn't flow anymore."
Eat some food made by Ji Mingyan, then forget it.
But if Ji Mingyan comes to bandage his wound, is his hand really unable to keep it
Just at this moment, Ji Yunxi and the four walked in.
Ji Mingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked Wanxiang to wrap him up.
When the two brothers were pulling together, Xuezhu had grabbed the arrow with a handkerchief and pulled it out quickly and accurately, and then stopped the bleeding immediately, applied medicine, and bandaged it.
A series of moves, methodically and beautifully done.
Ji Yunxi took a few more glances.
Wu Weian stood beside her, followed her gaze, bowed his head slightly, and thoughtfully.
Ji Mingshuang's sword injury is really not serious, Wanxiang will deal with him quickly.
The prince now has a high fever and is in a coma.
However, the wounds on his body were treated cleanly, and the doctor who was invited overnight also checked the pulse and said there was no problem. After a day or two, when the fever subsided and the person had enough sleep, he would naturally wake up.
Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and left the side room.
Ji Mingshuang lived in the room next to Ji Mingyan, and the group took him there.
Ji Yunxi asked, "Seventh brother, what happened?"
Ji Mingshuang's condition is not very good. The face that has made countless women in the capital obsessed is black at the moment, and the chin beard has not been shaved for many days, with green stubble.
The robe on his body even had a crack here and a crack there.
Xuezhu stood behind, looked Ji Mingshuang up and down, clenched his fists, and forced himself to look away.
Ji Mingshuang remembered the experience of these days and sighed: "It's a long story..."
In the spring of this year, shortly after his third sister and Wu Weian went to Liangzhou, the sage sent the prince to Qingzhou for a private visit.
It is said that Qingzhou is now mixed with fish and dragons, and the sage does not trust others, so he can only give it to the prince.
Because it was a private visit in WeChat, the prince's trip was carried out in secret. Even the queen and eldest brother didn't know the truth, only when the sage sent the prince to Cangshan to pray for the late emperor.
On the eve of his departure, Ji Mingshuang was called into the palace by the sage and asked him to go to Qingzhou with the prince.
Time was in a hurry, he didn't even have time to go back to Ji's house.
But before they reached the boundary of Qingzhou, their group was attacked.
In order to allow the prince to escape smoothly, the guards of the prince used their bodies as bait to hold back the enemy, so that Ji Mingshuang successfully took the prince away and escaped all the way to Liangzhou.
It was getting dark at this moment, Ji Mingshuang hadn't slept for a few days, and was injured. He didn't seem to be in good spirits.
Ji Yunxi probably understood what had happened, and without asking for details, he let the seventh brother go back to his room to rest first.
Ji Mingyan was worried about Mingshuang and insisted on going in to escort him.
Naturally, Ji Mingshuang drove him out of the room.
Xuezhu also stood far away from Ji Ming's double door, hesitating to say anything.
This man, don't you take a shower
Don't take care of the ragged clothes on him
That's it, fell asleep
But in the end, Xuezhu left.
Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian walked back to the bedroom in silence.
Suddenly, Wu Weian said, "I taught it."
Ji Yunxi was thinking about the Crown Prince, and for a while he was in a fog: "What?"
Wu Weian: "I taught snow bamboo to bandage it myself."
Ji Yunxi: "...??"
Shouldn't we be talking about the Prince's distress at this time?
Wu Weian added: "I also taught Xuezhu's light kung fu swordsmanship."
Ji Yunxi: "...Oh."
Wu Weian: "Xuezhu was raised by me. I raised it as a child, which is equivalent to your child."
So I hope that his wife can pay attention to the proportions, not pay too much attention to Xuezhu, but pay more attention to him.
Of course, he didn't say it. Because speaking out, there may be unintelligible disasters.
Ji Yunxi: "...?"
