Early the next morning, the first rays of sunlight penetrated through the clouds and enveloped the world below.
Ji Mingyan woke up early.
He packed his luggage last night, and was ready to go out with his sister and brother-in-law this morning to escape the summer heat and play in the mountains and waters.
But Ji Mingyan waited in the hall for a while, but did not wait for anything.
The backyard was quiet, and the maids hadn't woken up yet. Yesterday, Ji Yunxi explained Wanxiang and asked Wanxiang to tell everyone that she and Wu Weian don't need to be served for a while, as long as the house is basically clean and tidy, and everything else can be arranged freely.
Ji Mingyan sat on the main seat and continued to wait for a while, but still he could only see the figure of Xuezhu going back and forth as fast as lightning.
The more you wait, the more wrong it feels, and it feels very familiar.
When I was a child, my eldest brother and second brother didn't want to take him out, and this was the feeling when he was teasing him.
Ji Mingyan thought about it for a while, then took out a bag of soil from the bag, and sprinkled it on the ground in front of him.
Soon, a gust of wind blew, and Xuezhu with a broom appeared in front of Ji Mingyan.
Ji Mingyan squatted aside and watched Xuezhu sweeping the soil, and asked, "Xuezhu, aren't you going to escape the summer heat today?"
Xuezhu glanced at Ji Mingyan: "No."
Ji Mingyan: "?? But yesterday, I clearly heard my brother-in-law and Wen Zhaomo say that they are going to take my third sister to escape the summer!"
Xuezhu finished sweeping the soil and looked at Ji Mingyan strangely: "Mrs. Young Master left last night."
He saw it.
Ji Mingyan was shocked: "?? Why? Don't they take us with you?"
why together
Xuezhu couldn't understand, but it didn't matter: "You can go by yourself."
Falling these words, Xuezhu disappeared together with the wind again.
The son said, they don't need to follow, let them find work on their own.
Coincidentally, Xuezhu discovered some time ago that the streets of Liangzhou were not very clean. He planned to go to the government office in a while to catch a few arresters and sweep the streets together.
Xuezhu left on the front foot, and Ji Mingyan ran to Ji Yunxi's yard on the back foot.
Sure enough, Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian's rooms were already empty.
What is Ji Mingyan most afraid of in this world? That is, he is afraid that no one will play with him.
Ji Mingyan looked at the empty room for a long time, remembered something, and rushed to the poisonous lady again.
Not long after the poisonous lady got up, she was throwing bottles and jars with a big burden, and while throwing it away, she smiled grimly: "Hehe, auntie finally waited for this day, see if I won't kill you! A group of mothers who have no mother Raise something that can only do three-legged cat kung fu!"
Ji Mingyan stood outside the door, staring at the woman whose behavior was very familiar, but her face was very unfamiliar.
This person is more than ten years younger than his Poison Sister. The previous Poison Lady looked to be in her thirties, but now she has this face.
The eyes are smart, and the baby's fat face is chubby, and it looks like a teenager.
"A, A poisonous sister?"
Hearing this, the poisonous lady raised her head and glanced outside.
I saw a baby-faced woman who picked her nostrils without any image: "What expression? Have you seen a ghost in broad daylight?"
Ji Mingyan: "Did you ask your brother-in-law for a mask?"
The poisonous lady frowned, and sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on it: "The mask is your size! Can you talk, the old lady looks like this! I used to wear a mask before! The old lady has been wearing a mask for five years, five years! The son said, From now on, I don't have to wear a mask anymore, hahahaha, my mother is too hard! Fuck you!"
Ji Mingyan was stunned for a moment, but to him, the mask was not very important. He looked at the big burden in the hands of the poisonous lady and asked, "Sister Poison, where are you going?"
The poisonous lady continued to plug the poison: "Go get revenge!"
Ji Mingyan immediately said, "I'll accompany you!"
The poisonous lady stopped cleaning up and looked Ji Mingyan up and down: "You? It's okay."
She has many enemies. Back then, with a three-inch tongue, she scolded wherever she went, and offended a lot of people.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been hiding for five years wearing a mask.

Seven days later, Yuzhou.
End of June, the heat is unbearable. The hot sun poured down in the afternoon, making people's faces dry and hot.
On the streets of Linhe in Yuzhou, many vendors are sitting under the shade of trees, selling herbal tea and ice fruit.
A tall man with a smoky blue oil-paper umbrella and a famous woman in his arms came from not far away.
The woman was a head shorter than the man, and her face was beautiful, but it didn't make the vendors feel too much.
But when the two approached, the man raised his umbrella slightly, revealing his face covered by the umbrella, all the vendors were stunned.
They have never seen such a handsome man! The face of the evildoer, the figure is handsome, the five fingers holding the umbrella are like white fat jade, when he walks with the umbrella, every step hits the hearts of everyone.
With such a face, even the man couldn't help but glance at it and glance at it again.
"What a handsome boy!" The women sitting under the tree enjoying the shade and picking vegetables with the palm fan couldn't help but marvel.
"I've grown so big, I've never seen a man like this!"
"What's the background of the woman next to me? I think she looks like that. It's not as good-looking as the daughter-in-law of the tofu family, but there is such a man by her side!"
"I don't know, either the family has money, or it's a lady from the official family!"
"I heard that Young Master Shiyan was unparalleled in appearance, but the son in front of him might not lose to the legendary Young Master Shiyan?"
"… "
The women around were discussing softly while picking vegetables, only one of them was slightly dazed.
She murmured, "This, this man seems familiar..."
"Familiar? Have you seen it?!"
"Well, I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Shiyan three years ago. He seems to be like this..."
Pedestrians on the street, vendors on both sides of the road, and people enjoying the shade all looked at the two of them under the umbrella.
But the two under the umbrella obviously didn't pay much attention to it.
Wu Weian was busy coaxing his wife: "It's coming soon, it's in the alley ahead."
Ji Yunxi frowned and said coldly, "You said the same thing before a stick of incense."
Wu Weian: "I didn't lie to you this time, it's really coming."
Ji Yunxi: "So you lied to me in the first place?"
Wu Weian: "Well, look at that river, isn't it very clear?"
Ji Yunxi glanced at him, hehe: "Look at the trees on both sides, are they very green?"
Wu Weian took a serious look: "Well, it's quite green."
Ji Yunxi: "..."
The two walked for a while, turned left, and bumped into a group of people who came out of the powder shop.
The front is obviously a young lady, dressed in men's clothing, followed by two maids and a dozen attendants.
The lady was explaining to the servant, her voice was crisp.
Wu Weian's ears moved slightly, pressed the umbrella cover, and took Ji Yunxi to the side to avoid it, then he wanted to walk forward in a low-key manner.
Ji Yunxi calmly looked at all this and asked, "Do you know him?"
Wu Weian shook his head: "Never."
Ji Yunxi hooked her lower lip: "Really?"
They had only arrived in Yuzhou this morning, and rested for an hour at the inn. After lunch, Wu Weian took Ji Yunxi to find the leader of Yuzhou.
The reason why the handover started from Yuzhou this time is because the leader of Yuzhou just sent a letter saying that there is a matter of life and death to ask the son for help.
What Ji Yunxi meant was, of course, a carriage trip.
Who is going to walk on such a hot day
But Wu Weian said that it is very close, and it is easy to walk.
And try not to use a carriage, too ostentatious.
Close up.
Ji Yunxi sneered, and suddenly reached out and snatched Wu Weian's umbrella.
Without the umbrella, Wu Weian lost his cover, and his face was exposed to the sight of all around.
Hearing the movement here, the lady disguised as a man looked over subconsciously, and then her eyes stopped.
When Ji Yunxi saw this, she knew what must have happened to Wu Weian and the lady disguised as a man before. She didn't plan to get involved. She took the umbrella and wanted to take a few steps first and mixed into the crowd to watch.
But Wu Weian moved quickly, grabbed Ji Yunxi's wrist tightly, and said softly, "Madam, your heart is really dark."
Ji Yunxi: "Let go."
Wu Weian: "It's impossible, you can't think of being alone."
While the two were arguing, the young lady ran over with a dozen servants.
"Shiyan!! Is that you? Is it really you?!" Yu Conghuan pointed at Wu Weian, his eyes were extremely complicated, full of love, surprises, and deep doubts.
Ji Yunxi looked at it quietly, and moved her eyebrows slightly.
Yu Conghuan took a deep breath, followed Wu Weian's hand, looked at Ji Yunxi, and suddenly said angrily, "Who are you?!"
Ji Yunxi twitched hard, but did not twitch, Wu Weian refused to let go of anything.
She replied with a blank face: "People who don't matter."
Yu Conghuan: "Why is Shiyan holding you?!"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows lightly and glanced at Wu Weian who was calm: "Ask him."
Yu Conghuan looked at Wu Weian and bit his lower lip: "Who is she? Why are you holding her? Do you know your identity? What happened in the past three years? Why did you suddenly disappear three years ago?"
Wu Weian replied politely: "My master. The master will naturally lead. The servant of the master. There is a new master. Someone has offered a higher price."
Ji Yunxi, who was listening quietly, said, "?"
What does 'someone offer a higher price'
Yu Conghuan listened stunned for a moment: "But, but I paid your redemption money, how can you, how can you have a new master?"
Wu Weian smiled lightly, his white skirt swayed in the wind, and his impeccable face was unparalleled: "Miss Yu, in our line, the one with the highest price always wins, sorry."
Yu Conghuan's eyes were straightened. Three years ago, when she saw Shi Yan in Chunfeng Pavilion, she fell in love at first sight, and since then no man has been able to enter her eyes again: "But I gave out five thousand taels! No one can Higher than me!"
Three years ago, she used the highest price of 5,000 taels to buy Shiyan from the small shop.
Hearing this, Wu Weian looked at Ji Yunxi, who was beside him. He bent down and said softly, "Master, could you please tell this young lady, how much have you gone out?"
Ji Yunxi: "..."
Yu Conghuan looked at Ji Yunxi with anger in his eyes: "Tell me, how much did you pay? I'll buy it from you at twice the price!"
Ji Yunxi looked at the woman disguised as a man, and said lightly, "Fifty thousand taels of gold."
Yu Conghuan: "..."
