Chapter 680: Crooked

 The role of the Yuci Archway is subtle and silent. Anyway, since then, the Yan family has officially entered the sight of court officials and aristocratic families.

Wu Jingyi came to pick up the two hundred thousand stones of medicinal materials in person, and Yan Zhigao delivered them to him.

"Brother Yan, your family is so kind and righteous!"

After looking through the medicinal materials, I saw that all the medicinal materials were of high quality, so I was so happy that Wu Jingyi immediately became brothers with Yan Zhigao.

Yan Zhigao is very happy about this.

The Yan family got up late and are very lacking in connections. It is a good thing to be able to establish friendly relationships with senior members of Zhengyipin.

Because he remembered to deliver medicine to the soldiers in northern Xinjiang, Wu Jingyi did not stay long and stayed at Yan's house for one night before leaving.

After sending Wu Jingyi away, Yan Zhigao returned to the backyard, saw Mrs. Li reading the post, and asked with a smile: "Our family has such a big happy event, Daohua didn't even say come back to see it?"

Mrs. Li put down the post and after getting the Yuci Archway, she has been collecting posts every day, and she can no longer read them. When her husband mentioned her daughter, she said funnyly: "That girl is much calmer than us. She said she is busy with business now.

, not available."

Yan Zhigao asked curiously: "What can she be busy with at this time?"

Mrs. Li: "I don't know why I suddenly became interested. Some time ago, I selected some smart children from various villages to go to Taohua Village, saying that I wanted to cultivate some talents."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao became silent. His daughter has always been very far-sighted. On the contrary, his father has neglected his duties.

As the Yan family's status improves, there will indeed be many places that will need people in the future.

Especially since my daughter will marry into Prince Ping’s palace in the future.

Alas, after learning about Granny Gu’s identity as an ancient man, and after learning that his daughter had paid a visit to Xiao Yeyang, he didn’t do anything about it.

Now that I think about it, it’s really inappropriate.

After the eldest son came back from his hometown, he had to plan the future development of the Yan family with him.

......

At the border crossing of Ningmen Prefecture, Dongli had a boat waiting here early. When he saw the fleet transporting medicinal materials, he immediately approached it.

The transporting officers and soldiers discovered him and immediately wanted to arrest him. Dongli quickly took out the guard token and soon saw Wu Jingyi on the deck.

Wu Jingyi looked at Dongli silently for a while: "What's the matter?"

Dongli pointed to the boat below: "I would like to ask Governor Wu to bring something to Northern Xinjiang."

Wu Jingyi seemed to have heard some joke and sneered: "Can I bring something, please? Do you know what the fleet is doing? Do you know what the crime of obstructing official business is?"

Dong Li secretly thought, of course he knew. He also helped organize the medicinal materials on the ship, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said respectfully: "It's the old man's order."

Wu Jingyi was silent, and after a while, he finally asked tentatively: "Old man? Ancient man?"

Dongli nodded.

Immediately, the guards on the ship saw Wu Jingyi's face change. One moment he was stern, and the next moment he was smiling.

"You told me earlier, why don't you just bring something with you? It's just a small matter. I'll help you with this."

Seeing Governor Wu's sudden change of attitude, Dongli couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "Then go and get the things right away."

Wu Jingyi thoughtfully said: "I will send someone to help you."

The fleets transporting medicinal materials were all large ships. After Dongli moved the cargo on board, it only occupied a corner of the deck.

"Excuse me, Governor Wu." After saying that, Dongli took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Governor Wu, "This is a thank you gift from the old man."

Governor Wu quickly smiled and said: "It's just a small favor. Why are you so polite? It's really out of touch. Don't do it next time." After saying this, he quickly took the porcelain bottle.

Does he know that the old man has great medical skills, so the things he gives must be good things.

The corner of Dongli's mouth twitched again. After clasping his fists and saluting, he turned around and jumped off the deck, using the power of the water to quickly return to the shore.

"Father, this man is very powerful in martial arts. Who is he?"

A sunny young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, fair and delicate, came close to Wu Jingyi and stared blankly at Dongli who was going away.

Governor Wu glanced sideways at his young son who had sneaked up to follow him, and said angrily: "Why are you asking so many questions? I told you, you should talk less and listen more and watch more, and just stay there."

Wu Dingbai curled his lips and saw his father looking at the medicine bottle that the man had given him. He felt bored. He saw the guards carrying things into the cabin and immediately ran over: "What are these?"

Before the guard next to him could stop him, Wu Dingbai lifted the covering.

There was an immediate exclamation on the deck.

After Governor Wu heard this, he hurriedly walked over and was a little stunned when he saw the things in the bamboo basket.

There are several baskets full of grapefruits, oranges, apples, pears, dates, plums and other fruits. In addition, there are also yams, radishes, winter melons, pumpkins, potatoes and other fresh vegetables that are not common in northern Xinjiang, and various pickled ones.

There were also two baskets of dried meat and several baskets of dehydrated vegetables.

Daohua knew that the food in the army did not taste very good, so she made some special sauces and pickles.

She originally wanted the Sun family to deliver these things last time, but the Sun family's ship was not big, and they were going to the north for business, transporting a lot of goods, so she was embarrassed to ask for help.

This time the imperial court sent a ship to deliver medicinal materials, and the person in charge was someone he knew, Mr. Wu, so Dongli was sent over.

"Why are these vegetables dry? Can they still be eaten?"

Wu Dingbai picked up a bag of dehydrated vegetables and looked through it, frowning in disgust.

Wu Jingyi also took it over and looked at it, then shook his head and put it down: "Isn't this nonsense?" What a waste.

At this time, Wu Dingbai's eyes fell on the fruit. He picked up a red apple and took a bite. Before he could swallow it, Governor Wu slapped him on the head.

"Are there any rules? This is for others."

Wu Dingbai hummed and said: "There are so many, what's wrong with eating one?"

Seeing that his son dared to retaliate, Governor Wu immediately widened his eyes and said, "No matter how much you have, it belongs to others. If you take it for yourself, you are stealing. Don't you know this?"

Wu Dingbai was speechless: "It's just an apple."

Governor Wu: "Apples are rare in this season, so they are more than just apples." As he said this, he motioned to the guards to move away quickly. If they didn't move away, he couldn't help but want to extend his hand.

After the guards left, Wu Dingbai saw his father looking at the apple in his hand with bright eyes, hesitating again and again, and then reluctantly handed it over.

Wu Jingyi didn't mean to be polite at all, nor did he dislike his son. He picked up the apple and took a bite. Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "This apple is so sweet." As he said this, he picked up an apple in just a few bites.

Solved.

Wu Dingbai was so angry that he didn't want to speak, but thinking that he had lost an apple, he couldn't find out anything, so he asked: "Dad, who are these things for?"

Wu Jingyi glanced sideways at his son: "Who do you think your father and I can help you with?"

Wu Dingbai's eyes lit up: "Is it for Mr. Xiao?"

Wu Jingyi said ‘hmm’.

Wu Dingbai asked again: "Who gave it to him?"

Wu Jingyi: "...Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Wu Dingbai curled his lips: "It's mysterious." After saying that, he paused and asked, "Dad, is that Master Xiao really the one from Prince Ping's Mansion?"

Wu Jingyi looked at the river and said nothing.

Wu Dingbai clicked his tongue and shook his head: "It's really surprising. I remember when I was a child, he was more naughty than me. Why did he grow crookedly even though he was long?"

When Wu Jingyi heard this, his face darkened, he raised his leg and kicked Wu Dingbai.
