Qinglian was in the center, and Ji Mingxiu was talking about going south with his younger brother. The leader expressed deep dissatisfaction with this, hugged coldly and rolled his eyes: "You guys have to go by yourself, don't drag me! I won't go!"
"Why don't you go?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
"Why should I go?" The leader asked back.
Ji Mingxiu looked straight into his eyes and said, "I'm worried about leaving you alone in the capital."
The leader laughed mockingly: "Hey, it's as if I was raised by you. Didn't I come here when you weren't there?"
"You've lived through it, but it's been hard." Ji Mingxiu said earnestly.
The leader was dumbfounded for a moment.
In a verbal battle, all the courtiers in the court together may not win Ji Mingxiu, let alone the clumsy and tongue-in-cheek leader, let alone talk about his brother, but he is not happy to let him obey: " Anyway... Anyway, I just won’t go!”
"Are you really not going?"
Qiao Wei's voice sounded slowly at the door.
The leader glanced at Qiao indifferently, and didn't bother to speak. Qiao Wei entered the room, patted her husband's shoulder, and said softly: "I have packed up the salutes. I haven't moved your study room yet. You can see it yourself." Look at those things that need to be taken on the road.”
Ji Mingxiu glanced at his younger brother, said "OK", and got up to go.
Qiao Wei sat down on the chair and looked at the leader with leisure.
The leader's scalp was numb for a while, he glared at Qiao Wei, and said angrily: "What are you looking at?"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled: "The little beauty has been gone for a few days, huh?"
"What are you doing?" The leader said coldly, his eyes flashed, "What little beauty?"
Qiao Wei interrupted him: "Okay, okay, I'm not your elder brother, you don't have to hide it from me, I might as well tell you the truth, the news that your elder brother and I are going to Suxinzong has spread, five It doesn’t matter if the group of brothers or your little beauties have moved to the Suxin sect. If you want to see your little beauties..."
"Who wants to see her?" The leader rolled his eyes, "Yan'er!"
Yan'er stepped inside quickly, saluted and said, "Second young master."
The leader said lightly: "Take things."
Yan'er was overjoyed: "Yes!"
Both Qiao Wei and Ji Mingxiu will leave the Ji family, and it is difficult for the younger junior sister to continue to live, otherwise the Suxin sect or the Grand Master's mansion will come to the door, and the Ji family will have no position to hold her, and she will also clean up. After doing some research, she went south with Qiao Wei and her party.
On the tenth day of April, everything was ready, and everyone bid farewell to Ji's family at the gate of the mansion.
Ji Shangqing didn't say anything, only told Ji Mingxiu to take good care of his younger brother.
Mrs. Ji thought that the couple were really going to Qiuzhou to build a dam, so she took Qiao Wei's hand and said earnestly: "Qiuzhou is very humid, remember to drink more ginger tea, your second brother... it's time to call your third brother now." , your third brother is also over there, you take good care of your third brother on behalf of your second uncle and second aunt... your third uncle and the others are very honest people, easy to get along with, you don't have to worry... that is the Ji family's mansion, you and Ming Xiu is the legitimate master of the Eight Classics, don't let others neglect you, you know?"
Qiao Wei nodded: "I see, grandma."
Mrs. Ji rubbed brother Liu's head again. This little guy has never traveled far since he was born. The farthest place is Qiao Wei's small village. The family keeps him in their mouths every day for fear of melting him. I am afraid of losing it in my hand, and I have developed a stinky disease. This time I went to Qiuzhou, and I may have suffered a lot: "You should stay? Grandma bought you some birds and dogs, and I will accompany you. you play."
Brother Liu quit.
The two sisters Li Shi and Ji Wanyu also came to bid farewell to Qiao Wei. The marriage of the two sisters was approaching, and I wondered if she, the sister-in-law, could make it in time for their wedding.
After saying goodbye, the family happily set off on the road.
From Ji Mingxiu's mouth, Qiao Wei learned that Qiuzhou is not really at the foot of Suxinzong, there is a border town between the two, after passing the town, entering the Suxin Mountain Range, and climbing Suxin Peak, It is considered to have arrived at Suxinzong.
But the town is not big, and it only takes half an hour to cross it by carriage.
The Ji family's fief covers half of Qiuzhou, with Lunan Avenue as the boundary. The north of Lunan is the Ji family's fief, and the south of Lunan is purely government territory.
This trip to Lunan, Qiuzhou, can be reached in half a month at a fast pace, but the family and children are too bumpy, so they slowed down a little. When approaching Qiuzhou, brother Liu fell ill, delayed for a few days, and really entered It's already early May in Qiuzhou.
In May, there was already a hint of early summer in Qiuzhou. There were constant thunderstorms, but they were lucky. The few days they drove were sunny and sunny. It was not until they arrived at Ji’s old house that a downpour fell. .
Before departure, the Ji family sent a letter to Sanfang, informing them that Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei would bring their children over. The third master counted the days, and it was time to arrive. Sure enough, he heard the message from the servant: "Master! Master! The young master and the others are here!"
"Are you here? Call Madam out!" The third master's eyes lit up, he brushed off his wide sleeves, and strode out to welcome her.
The third wife, Mrs. Yu, brought her daughter out of the backyard, and went to the gate together with the third master.
Ji Mingxiu used to live in the old house when he was practicing martial arts in the Suxin Sect. After becoming an official in the court, he stayed in the capital for a long time. They returned to Beijing for the New Year last year. They wanted to meet Mingxiu's family, but they all left again. Far away.
They saw Ji Mingxiu at a glance. Ji Mingxiu hadn't changed much, and he still looked like jade. There was a girl standing beside him, saying that the girl looked only fifteen or sixteen years old probably because of that face. With a delicate complexion, perfect crescent eyebrows, and an alluring beauty, standing next to Ji Mingxiu, he looked like a pair of jade lovers, perfectly matched.
Men always look twice at women unconsciously. Just as the third master was looking at Qiao Wei curiously, on the other side, Mrs. Yu was attracted by the little fat man rolling down from the carriage.
As soon as Wang Shu woke up, she heard it in a daze. She thought she was on the bed, and when she rolled, she rolled down from the carriage.
The carriage is not low, she slammed on the floor with a bang, which made Yu's heart tremble, Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei talked and laughed like nothing happened, Yu thought that you children fell like this Well, why are you still—
She was about to walk over when she saw the little fat man get up by himself. She clearly saw the little fat man knocked his forehead on the ground, but the little fat man was not injured at all. Instead, the bluestone floor she had knocked on cracked open. made a hole...
Yu Shi: "..."
After Wang Shu came down, Jing Yun also came down, and after that, brother Liu, with one white in his left hand and one in his right hand, also came down with great pomp!
Yu Shi found that these three children were really good-looking, more beautiful than any child she had ever seen. One of them was exactly the same as Mingxiu when he was a child, even the faint coldness between his brows and the smallness all over his body. The aura of an adult is really like meditation.
"You are Jing Yun, you are Wang Shu, you are Brother Liu, right?" Mrs. Yu walked forward with a smile.
San Xiaozhi looked at her.
Wang Shu smiled sweetly and said, "Hello, Auntie!"
Yu was amused: "I'm not your aunt, I'm not that young, I'm your third grandma."
Wang Shuzhang widened his innocent eyes and said, "Wow, you are a grandma now! But you are so beautiful and young, just like my aunt!"
Qiao Wei: "..."
When did you have an aunt
Yu Shigui is the third wife of the Ji family, and she has heard many good things in the past, but none of them made her feel so comfortable. She couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. Originally, she had prepared six red envelopes, one for each person. When I am happy now, I feel relieved.
Holding the red envelopes in his hands, Wang Shu smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"
Yu couldn't help laughing: "Auntie? Third grandma."
Wang Shu said: "Third grandma!"
Mrs. Yu looked at Jing Yun again, and Jing Yun sweetly called the third grandma, and it was Brother Liu's turn.
Brother Liu also called out very forcefully: "Third grandma!"
Yu's face darkened.
Ji Mingxiu led Qiao Wei to call her third uncle and aunt.
The third master looked around and said, "Where is Ming Ye?"
The leader walked down slowly, with a stinky face, even though he was wearing a mask, it was hard to see, but with his nostrils upturned, everyone could hear the humming in his heart.
The third master smiled and said, "Is this Ming Ye?"
Ji Mingxiu looked at his younger brother and said, "It's called Third Uncle."
Lord leader: "Hmph."
Qiao Wei twisted his lower back, and he screamed, "Ah—uncle three!"
The third master covered his heart that was almost out of his throat from his fright, and nodded in a daze: "Hey, be good, be good!"
Ji Mingxiu introduced the younger junior sister to the third master and Mrs. Yu, and the two greeted politely.
The third master brought people into the old house.
The ancestors of the Ji family had a king with a different surname, and the old house was the former prince's mansion. It occupies an area that is not inferior to the prime minister's mansion in the capital, but it is a little older and not as grand as the prime minister's mansion.
Mrs. Yu arranged Ji Mingxiu and his party in Qinghui Courtyard, which was not far from their courtyard, so it was very convenient for them to talk to each other.
The third master has three daughters in total. The fourth miss, Ji Wenxin, is Yu's own flesh and blood. She is twelve years old this year. The remaining fifth and sixth misses are all born to her aunt and did not come out to meet guests.
Ji Wenxin was still childish, and she kept her big black eyes wide open all the way, staring straight at the little monkey behind Jing Yun. The little monkey was wearing a small black cloak with a red inside. In the wind, the little monkey can blow his nails, wear small flowers, and follow her mother's handkerchief, wipe his nose and stuff it back for her mother.
What a cute little monkey!
Zhu'er noticed that Ji Wenxin was looking at her, and raised her chin proudly, almost raising her eyes to the top of her head.
At this moment, she is an elegant little lady again!
Ji Wenxin: "Hey..."
Hey what? Little Lady Zhu'er raised her chin even higher, and then she stepped on the ground and fell face down into the mud pit...
Ji Wenxin: "Oh..."
…
On this trip, Qiao Wei took Bi'er with her. Bi'er was mainly responsible for taking care of the food and daily life of Brother Liu and the leader. When Bi'er packed their bags, Qiao Wei also sorted them out.
Their destination was the Suxin Sect, and they came to the Ji family's old house just to settle down. There was no need to open many boxes, and it would be quick to pack them up.
Yu made up the red envelopes of the remaining children, which was as much as Wang Shu's. It can be said that he was bleeding heavily.
After the family had dinner, Mrs. Yu took Qiao Wei to chat about the daily life, while Ji Mingxiu and the third master went to the study.
In the Ji family's letter to the third master, they briefly explained the family affairs, but the third master still wanted to hear the specific situation from Ji Mingxiu: "What's the matter with Ming Ye and your uncle?"
Ji Mingxiu succinctly explained Ming Ye's affairs, still omitting the identity of the Yin clan, as for Qin Bingyu, there was nothing to hide.
The third master was stunned: "Your uncle is Ye Luo's secret agent? It's really surprising. Your aunt feels bad, right? How do you plan to deal with him?"
Ji Mingxiu said calmly: "Close it first, and talk about it later."
The third master nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Ji Mingxiu said again: "By the way, third uncle, last time I sent someone to investigate Jijialing, and found that Mingye was stolen after entering Jijialing. Who are the people in Lingling?"
The third master sighed: "It's been more than twenty years. Those who guarded the mausoleum back then were all old men, and they are all dead now. But if you want to find out, I can ask their family members."
Ji Mingxiu said: "No need, I already have a direction to investigate."
The third master looked relieved: "That's good, we must find out the murderer as soon as possible, so as to comfort your mother's soul in heaven."
After all, seeing that Ji Mingxiu had no intention of leaving, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ji Mingxiu paused: "It's nothing."
The third master said: "Do you want to ask the Xun family? She is honestly guarding the tomb. I went to check twice, but I didn't see any tricks. Don't worry, she has fallen into this situation, no Maybe he's a demon again, but Brother Liu..."
Ji Mingxiu said calmly, "Xiao Wei took excellent care of her."
…
Unfortunately, Ji Mingxiu and the others arrived. Qiuzhou Academy was in class and did not see Li Shi's son. Qiao Wei left behind the gifts and maids that Li Shi had prepared for Ji Chongming. After breakfast the next day, he set off for Suxinzong .
Yu held Qiao Wei's hand and said, "Oh, you guys are leaving too quickly, can't you stay for a few more days?"
Qiao Wei couldn't do it in her heart, the black-hearted emperor only gave Mingxiu half a year to wipe out Ye Luo, but now they don't even know where Ye Luo's stronghold is, so they can't do it without racing against time!
Qiao Wei smiled slightly and said: "The three children rushed to report to the Suxinzong, and it has been delayed for several days. It can't be too late. No matter how late, it will be sent back to the court. The emperor should blame us for being slack."
The emperor moved out, it was hard for Mrs. Yu to keep anything, so she ordered someone to prepare a few large boxes of snacks, and asked Qiao Wei to take them on the road.
Qiao Wei accepted it with a smile, and they bid farewell to the family of the third master, and boarded the carriage to Suxinzong.
On the carriage, Qiao Wei took out the account book and recorded something carefully with a charcoal pencil. Her calligraphy is not very good, but the hard pen writing is extremely beautiful, but the strokes are half missing, and they are still square. The curved beauty of girder characters.
"What are you writing?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
Qiao Wei said: "Billing, we are on a business trip this time, and we have to ask the emperor for reimbursement for all the expenses along the way!"
That black-hearted emperor, she must kill him, kill him, kill him!
From Ji's old house to Suxinzong, without accident, it will take two hours to arrive, but the weather is not good. When we first arrived in Lihua Town, the sky darkened without warning, and then in less than a quarter of an hour. There came the most terrifying thunderstorm that Qiao Wei had ever experienced.
After the thunderstorm, heavy rain continued.
The group had to find an inn and wait for the rain to stop before leaving.
Lihua Town is the last small town on the southern border of Daliang. It is close to Suxinzong and Southern Chu. There are many Suxinzong disciples and merchants from Southern Chu. It is worth mentioning that the power of the imperial court is already quite weak in this area. Well, the government is all covered by the Jianghu sect, and the government order without the support of the Jianghu sect usually does not last for three months, and all the Jianghu sects in this area follow the lead of the Suxin sect.
The disciples of Suxinzong sat in the best seats in the lobby, followed by the wealthy businessmen, and those officials who were supposed to show off their power were squeezed into the corner instead.
Qiao Wei and her party entered the inn.
Xiao Er greeted him with a smile: "Guest officer, please! Where is the guest officer from?"
"Where does it matter?"
Xiao Er gestured to two areas and said: "The disciples of the Suxin Sect sit here, and the rest sit there."
Qiao Wei's eyeballs moved, and she said with a half-smile, "Where should the prime minister sit?"
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, then said frankly, "Over there!"
It does not belong to the side of Suxinzong.
Qiao Wei touched Ji Mingxiu's arm amusedly: "Young Master Ming, it seems that your identity is not easy to use here?"
Ji Mingxiu took out a token of the Suxin sect, Xiaoer opened his eyes wide, and carefully counted the swords on the token: "Nine...nine swords? Guiguiguigui... The nobleman is here! Please come upstairs! "
Wanting to show off the Sovereign Order, Qiao Wei gritted her teeth and stuffed the token into her bosom!
I just want to tell her that the suzerain decree in her hand is probably not as effective as his "just cheap" token.
Qiao Wei's guess was right, Xiao Er had never seen the Sovereign Order, and did not recognize it when he saw it, but he saw the level tokens of Suxin Sect disciples every day, and he could tell the truth or falsehood at a glance.
Ji Mingxiu asked for three upper rooms, one for Junior Junior Sister and Zhu Er, one for him and the leader, and one for Qiao Wei, three children and two cubs.
A few people originally planned to take a break in the afternoon and then leave, but they didn't know that the rain kept falling until it stopped in the evening, and at this time, the Suxin Sect had already closed the mountain.
Qiao Wei and the leader rested their chins on their hands, staring at each other, and the three little guys looked at me and you boredly. Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly and said, "Take you out for a walk."
As soon as the few people heard that they were going out for a turn, they immediately regained their spirits!
The rain stopped, and there were more pedestrians on the street. Qiao Wei found that this town was far more lively than she imagined. The doors of the shops were open, and the doors were full of customers. The sound of shouting, the laughter of pedestrians, and the sound of traffic can be heard endlessly.
Lihua Town is a small town in the south, and it also has a lot of seafood, but because it is not facing the sea and does not have a big port, so the seafood is not as rich as Feiyu Town, and there is no beautiful legend of the shark, but it is extremely rich in handmade products.
Qiao Wei and the children were dazzled.
Gululu~
Wang Shu's stomach growled.
Ji Mingxiu took his daughter's hand and led everyone to a stall selling crab cakes.
The business of the stall was good, and all five tables were full. The stall owner borrowed a table and some chairs from the noodle seller next door, and let Ji Mingxiu and his party sit down.
Ji Mingxiu said: "When I was a child, my mother took me to eat once. She said that she loved the crab cakes here the most. It's a taste that can't be made in the palace."
The boss came over with a smile: "Damn Yan, the crab cakes in our store are Zuquan's secret recipe! There's nothing to eat outside!"
Ji Mingxiu glanced at him, and said with a rare kindness, "It wasn't you at that time."
The boss said: "I just came here, my father is old and can't do it anymore! What kind of food does the guest officer want?"
Ji Mingxiu thought about the taste of Princess Zhaoming: "It's spicy, fry it with chopped green onion, and add some pepper."
"Okay, here we come!"
The boss smiled and went.
A little girl came to the side of the booth: "Boss, I want one, fry it with chopped green onion, and add some pepper!"
