In the sweltering solar term, few people go out for shopping in the afternoon, and there are not many people on the street.
Under the scorching sun, the pedestrians and vendors were a little drowsy, and the usually lively streets seemed a little quiet.
Suddenly, as if a drop of water splashed into the oil pan, the whole street suddenly boiled.
After Yu Conghuan listened to Ji Yunxi's offer, he was silent for a moment.
50,000 taels of gold, how about cheating
Shi Yan's face really made Yu Conghuan remember these years, but 50,000 taels of gold
Yu Conghuan didn't believe that this woman really bought Shiyan with fifty thousand taels of gold.
After Shi Yeon ran away, many people were looking for him. Only then did Yu Conghuan know that many people were deceived, and the prices ranged from a few hundred taels to several thousand taels.
But Yu Conghuan was still lucky just now, thinking that Shiyan might have difficulties.
But seeing him behave so intimately with the woman, Yu Conghuan's teeth almost shattered.
This is the person she bought for 5,000 taels! But she didn't even hold hands, she just listened to the other party play a tune for her and read a few poems!
With a wave of Yu Conghuan's hand, he immediately said: "Come here, take these two to Miss Ben!"
Ji Yunxi was not too worried, as Wu Weian was there.
But no matter how hard, Wu Weian dragged her forward and ran wildly.
Ji Yunxi paused for a moment: "You don't use force?"
Wu Weian dragged her to run wildly on the street, and said, "If you can, you don't have to."
Ji Yunxi felt a little tired after running a few steps: "Then let me go."
Wu Weian refused: "Let go of you, what do you do? I'm not a person who sells for glory."
Ji Yunxi said calmly, "She was chasing you, and it was you who ran away with money. What does it have to do with me?"
Wu Weian: "You don't know Yu Conghuan. As long as I hold you, she will definitely have a hard time with you."
Ji Yunxi was annoyed: "You let go, I have my own way."
Wu Weian's hand was as steady as a rock, and he kept pulling her forward, with a serious face: "No, I can't abandon you for my husband. It's getting too fast, madam, please persist."
Ji Yunxi: "..."
The people behind Yu Conghuan were still following, Wu Weian glanced backwards, and when he passed an alley, he took Ji Yunxi and turned, and he did not enter the complicated and maze-like alleys of Yuzhou.
He stretched his hand around Ji Yunxi's waist, lifted it slightly, and swam around her in the alley, as nimble as a fish.
Then in front of a slightly old wooden door, he tapped a few times with his fingers rhythmically.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
After a pause, the wooden door creaked open, and an old woman who was blind in one eye appeared behind the door holding a candle.
Wu Weian led Ji Yunxi in, and the wooden door was closed instantly.
After a while, Yu Conghuan's people ran over, and the figures of Wu Weian and Ji Yunxi had long since disappeared.
Inside the wooden door, the heavy black curtains were tightly closed, blocking the sunlight outside.
Candles were lit in the room, and there was a Buddha statue in front of it. Three sticks of incense were burning on the Buddha statue. Most of the incense had been burned, and a piece of incense ashes had fallen around.
There were yellow paper, incense candles, white rice and boiling water on the table. The one-eyed old woman put the candle in her hand on the table, looked at Wu Weian, and said slightly excitedly: "I have seen the son!"
Wu Weian waved his hand: "Mother Wang doesn't need to be too polite."
Granny Wang was a famous goddess in the neighborhood of Yuzhou City. She looked at Ji Yunxi, who was on the side: "Master, who is this?"
Ji Yunxi gasped for breath, she hadn't run like this for a long time.
The last time I ran like this, it seemed like it was the 800-meter body side in the school gym class.
Wu Weian stretched out his hand, patted Ji Yunxi's back, gave her a smooth breath, and said, "This is our master."
"Master?" Granny Wang said in shock, "Master, is there someone above you?"
Over the years, it has been the son who has been in contact with her. She thought that the son was the one with the highest status, but she never thought that there were still people above!
Wu Weian: "Well, the identity of the master was inconvenient before."
Grandma Wang hurriedly gave Ji Yunxi a respectful salute: "I have seen my master before!"
The corner of Ji Yunxi's mouth twitched, "..."
Her eyes slowly swept across this mysterious little world, then looked at the one-eyed old woman who was probably over eighty years old, looked at her solemnly and respectfully salutes herself, and recalled that Wu Weian looked earnestly and The other party's dialogue, but it seems to be lying to a child, there is a particularly absurd feeling.
what the hell
Is the power behind him like this
Really not playing home
Wu Weian poked Ji Yunxi lightly, and whispered in her ear: "Mother Wang is old and stubborn. If you don't tell her to get up, she won't get up."
Ji Yunxi looked at the goddess who was saluting respectfully, her face sullen: "...No salute."
Granny Wang stood up straight.
She opened another door, and the three walked outside.
Wu Weian asked, "Have you found it yet?"
Granny Wang said in a dejected tone: "Young Master, not yet. This time I asked my neighbors to search all over the place, and I put her favorite food, but I still couldn't find it. That's why I wrote an urgent letter to Master."
Ji Yunxi suddenly had a guess in her heart: "Yes... Who lost it?"
Granny Wang looked at Ji Yunxi: "Reporting to the master, it is the black cat of my subordinates."
Ji Yunxi: "...Oh."
It turned out to be a matter of life and death.
Wu Weian pondered for a moment, and said, "It's okay, the cat loves to go out at night, I'll take a look at it at night."
Grandma Wang introduced the two of them into the room and respectfully said, "Thank you, Master, thank you!"
After speaking, he stooped and left.
Ji Yunxi looked at the back of Grandma Wang's departure, and her eyes went straight to Wu Weian.
Wu Weian walked aside, picked up the teapot, poured two glasses of water, and handed it to Ji Yunxi: "Madam, don't be impatient, Granny Wang is a wonderful person. No one can know better than her about the big and small things in Yuzhou. She is the leader of Yuzhou. And as long as you turn your mind to five years old, you can communicate with her normally."
Ji Yunxi was silent for a moment: "How did you make sure she wouldn't fall off the chain?"
Wu Weian smiled: "Mother Wang is an old man, and she has been with me for three years. I was not so confused before. When I was performing arts in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, I happened to meet Granny Wang looking for a cat. Granny Wang asked me if I could help, and I asked her if she would help. When she found it, what could she do for me. She said that she could do everything she could to know about Yuzhou. I didn't take it to heart at the time. Eye."
Grandma Wang is a goddess who helps people tell fortunes.
The people who came to her fortune-telling were basically people from Yuzhou.
Therefore, the unique skill passed down by the ancestors is how to know the big and small things in Yuzhou City, so that they can calculate accurately and have food to eat.
Ji Yunxi understood after thinking about it, she sipped lightly, and suddenly asked, "Spring Breeze Pavilion?"
Wu Wei settled down: "Well, I used to stay in the small herdsman in Yuzhou."
Ji Yunxi looked at him with a half-smile, "How many people have paid for your face?"
Wu Weian thought hard: "Too many, I don't remember."
The face he painted for himself was originally intended to make money.
Ji Yunxi: "Only entertaining?"
Wu Weian: "Of course, Madam may not know it, but I am proficient in all things piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Ji Yunxi: "Haha."
*
The night is deep.
Wu Weian was holding a lantern in one hand and Ji Yunxi in the other looking for cats in the streets and alleys.
After a stick of incense, Ji Yunxi stopped.
If she had brought a pedometer, she would have walked at least 30,000 steps on this day.
Wu Weian turned to look at her: "what's the matter?"
Ji Yunxi slowly exhaled: "When are you going to find it?"
Wu Weian shrugged lightly: "Then I have to ask the cat."
Ji Yunxi: "?"
Wu Weian: "This cat has to be lost two or three times a year, and it is harder to find every time. Once the round steward called a lot of people and couldn't find it, it was Xuezhu who came here."
Ji Yunxi: "And then what?"
Wu Weian: "Xuezhu searched for three days."
Ji Yunxi: "Oh, that seems really hard to find."
Wu Weian: "Yes."
Cats have always been flexible. This black cat has been playing against human masters all these years, and it is the best among cats.
Moreover, the cat does not move during the day, and is only active at night. In addition, it is very dark, and its fur is perfectly blended with the night, which is even more difficult to find.
Ji Yunxi said calmly, "I have a way."
…
After a stick of incense, the lantern that Wu Wei'an was carrying was replaced, and a bell was tied with a string instead.
While walking, the bells jingled and swayed in the air.
Wu Weian shook the simplified version of the 'cat joker' and asked Ji Yunxi, "Is it really useful?"
Ji Yunxi was weak: "Try it."
She sighed and looked up at the starry sky, reflecting.
What was she thinking, why would she want to buy him and his power
What was she thinking, why did she agree to come out with him to find the cat
Wu Weian looked at the motionless man leaning against the wall: "What's wrong?"
Ji Yunxi looked at him quietly: "I regret it."
Wu Weian chuckled, and he walked back, handed her the 'cat joker' with a bell tied in his hand, and crouched down... "Come up."
Ji Yunxi was quiet for a while, but she still lay down.
Wu Weian picked her up lightly: "I just said I would carry you, but you don't want to."
Ji Yunxi: "Shut up."
Wu Weian: "I wanted to tell you about Yuzhou in detail."
Ji Yunxi paused: "You said."
Wu Weian raised the corners of his lips: "Yuzhou is headed by Granny Wang. If Granny Wang dies, let her granddaughter come. The Wang family is the most well-informed. They know all the young talents in Yuzhou, and then they will pick people from it."
Ji Yunxi hummed softly, "How do you pick people?"
Wu Weian narrowed his eyes slightly: "A person who is from a humble background but is capable and has obvious handles."
Ji Yunxi thought for a moment and then understood.
There is no need to say more about the ability.
From a humble background, there is bound to be a shortage, so he can take the opportunity to win people's hearts.
And there is a clear handle, then you can always contain it.
Wu Weian said: "I asked you for that Danzhi in Shangjing that day, you still remember."
Ji Yunxi: "Remember."
Wu Weian: "It was for Yu Qing's frail son. The Yu family is the No. 1 family in Yuzhou. The woman who chased us in the afternoon is the young lady of the Yu family. Her eldest brother Yu Conghuai is the head of the Yu family, Yu Qing. It was her second uncle, born from her grandfather's concubine, and was ostracized by the family. Yu Qing has the ability, and he only needs a chance to be the head of the family. "
Ji Yunxi: "The real purpose of coming to Yuzhou this time is for this opportunity."
Wu Weian smiled: "Madam really is the person who understands me best in the world."
Among the officials in Yuzhou, there are his people.
Among the people of Yuzhou, there are his people.
The aristocratic family in Yuzhou also has his people.
Yuzhou was within his grasp.
This is the case in the small Yuzhou, and so are the cities.
The nets are spread together to form a big net, and the purpose of the big net is to escort the spiders and send them to Shangjing.
Even if more than half of the nets are useless, as long as a few spiders can get close to the emperor, Wu Weian will win this game.
Ji Yunxi said, "This is the most complicated way of revenge I've ever heard of."
Wu Weian chuckled: "It's not just for revenge."
Ji Yunxi: "Then why?"
Wu Weian carried Ji Yunxi on his back, listened to the crisp sound of bells in his ears, looked at the lights of thousands of homes that seemed to be very close and far away, and said in a low voice, "Just pass the time, otherwise I can't think of what else to do in this world, boring. Very."
"But now I don't think so."
The fireworks in the world after him were already on his shoulders.
Ji Yunxi was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, something bounced up, and he waved his claws to grab the bell that was swaying in the air.
"Ding dong~ ding dong~"
Wu Weian stopped, and Ji Yunxi also looked to the side.
Still can't see anything, but can see a pair of green round eyes in the dark.
"Meow~"
