It was night, Jin Yunchong unfolded the deeply creased painting, and the plump and graceful figure of the iron-eating beast appeared on the paper.
He took out the note he had imitated from memory from his pocket and pasted it on the left side of the doll painting.
The light on the desk clearly reflected his thoughtful and focused face.
In fact, since the day they had a big quarrel over Li Shi in front of his father, he should have realized that Jin Yunlan deliberately favored Li Shi.
After she learned the truth between Jinyun and Li, she came to argue with her father and had an eloquent argument with herself. He remembered that she was very emotional that day. After she left angrily, she disappeared for five days in a row. When she came back, she
He returned to normal again and never mentioned a word about Li.
Where did she go those five days?
Xiu Xiu said that she had a close relationship with a mysterious man, but she remained silent. When she mentioned Senior Brother Bai Tan, she denied it.
Who is that person?
Suddenly a flash of light flashed through his mind. Could it be that the man was a member of the Li clan?
It is true that his conjecture is indeed quite rich and logical at the moment. However, due to insufficient evidence, if he wants to prove that Jin Yunlan has a private relationship with Li, he must have solid evidence.
The next day, he went out of the city under the guise of his name. He went to the Fengdu grain store mentioned on the bill. He showed the bill, and the boss immediately recognized the name on it, and he was with the big boss's "underlings."
He talked eloquently: "Whenever Boss Zheng wants to pick up this batch of food, I will have it ready."
Jinyun Chongshunpo got off the donkey, pretending to be like that. He waved his hand: "No hurry. My young master asked me to come and reconcile the account with you so that I can report it to you."
The boss quickly nodded and called the accountant to come out and reconcile the accounts.
Jinyun Chongzai looked at the information on the account book carefully, but there was no clue as to what was written on the bill. He then thought about what the boss said again: "My young master wants to add an order, but I wonder how much inventory you still have in this shop?"
The grain merchant looked surprised, "Didn't Boss Zheng just sign an order with me for one year? Twenty dan per month, do you want more?"
Jin Yunchong was horrified. What on earth was she going to do with two hundred and forty tons of grain a year?
He remained calm on his face and spoke vaguely in an attempt to get through, "Then let me take a look at the previous accounts."
The grain merchant seemed to have seen some clues from his young acting skills, and hesitantly called the accountant again to come out to reconcile the accounts. The accountant opened the account books to March this year, which was Jin Yunlan's first time. After that, he would do so once a month.
There has been a hiatus for seven months now.
One hundred and forty shi of grain passed through Jin Yunlan's hands and disappeared to no one knows where.
Jin Yunchong asked the accountant to make a copy of the accounts for the past few months, and he would bring them back and reconcile them together. If he had any questions, he would compare them again.
The grain merchant looked at the unfamiliar young man with vigilance, twirled his beard, and said with a smile: "There has always been a nimble girl here before."
Jin Yunchong stared at him sharply and said solemnly: "So, what's wrong?"
The grain merchant immediately softened his spine and kept saying with a smile: "No, no."
Jin Yunchong took a thick stack of bills and returned to the city with satisfaction.
After that, he secretly followed Jin Yunlan's every move. Unfortunately, she behaved well and had no mistakes to make. During the day, she was either attending classes or practicing in the academy, or dealing with letters in the auditorium. At night, she would be either early or late.
When I got home, after nightfall, I kept reading and doing my homework in my room, then turned off the lights and fell asleep. I didn't stay home all night.
The life schedule at 3 o'clock and 1 line is simple and even boring, but she has never complained.
But just the night before the Great Elder returned, Jin Yunlan came to ask Yuanyuan for questioning.
She asked: "Has this month's food been delivered?"
Yuanyuan shook his head: "Have you forgotten? You said that the wind has been tight these days, so you asked me to slow down before taking action. By the way, the boss of Fengdu Grain Store has a letter. The letter said that a young man ran away a few days ago. When you go to his place to check the accounts, you behave unnaturally."
Jin Yunlan's brows suddenly raised, and she was astonished: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
It is completely true and the injustice is correct: "I just received this letter today. Fengdu is far away from Luocheng, and the letter does not travel by water. It took me three days to travel over mountains and ridges to get it to me."
Jin Yunlan was running around in circles anxiously. She rubbed her hands anxiously and cursed irritably: "The Great Elder will be back tomorrow, but something happened at the cusp of the storm. Send someone quickly to find out who it is."
Zhuzhu said hurriedly: "Miss, don't worry, I have already ordered people to go. Miss, there is no need to worry. Take a step back and say, even if the matter of our food purchase is leaked, so what, we don't steal or rob, it's not a bad thing." "
Jin Yunlan was not reassured by her relief, "The elders in the clan are all cunning and cunning, and none of them are cheap. If they see the clues, they will definitely follow the clues." She pinched her chin and looked solemnly. After thinking for a moment, he gave the order: "Find a painter and draw a portrait according to the boss's description. I want to see which face it is!"
Although she said this, Jin Yunchong's face inadvertently flashed before her eyes, which made her heart tighten, praying that this fleeting suspicion would not come true.
The next day, the great elder, who had stayed in Jade City for a long time, finally returned safe and sound. All the unfavorable rumors that had been circulated in the clan were disproven, and the tense atmosphere finally eased.
The Great Elder had a tiring journey all the way, and it was already evening when he arrived in Luo City.
Jin Yunlan already knew about this when she was working in the synagogue. She saw the welcoming team dispatched in great force. When she returned home, she found a huge brocade box on the table that she had never seen before. She heard from Yuanman that this It was sent by the great elder.
She opened the box half-heartedly and found a gorgeous dress, but she dismissed it. She shook her smart Jinyun hospital uniform and muttered: "Uncle, you can't see my style like this. Why don't you go out?" Don’t forget to remind me that I need to look like a girl.”
Yuanyuan pursed his lips and said, "I think the Great Elder also has good intentions."
Jin Yunlan sneered, disapprovingly, "That's what happened."
There was something unresolved in her heart, and she was on pins and needles. She wanted to fly to Fengdu immediately to find out the identity of that person in person.
Remembering that Zhuzhu mentioned that the man was a young man, Jin Yunchong's face flashed through her mind again, and her heart suddenly let go. She fell down on a round stool and thought for a long time.
Then I thought about it, Li Zhi's mother was approaching her thirtieth birthday. Although she was given a lot of precious medicinal materials such as Cordyceps sinensis, Li's mother also took a lot, but she didn't know if it could delay her life.
It is said that the thousand-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain has the effect of reviving the dead. The reality is probably not as magical as the rumors say, but it is still more effective than ordinary things.
It seems that she still has to apply for a trip to Changbai Mountain.
When she was thinking and sighing, there was a knock on the door. It was someone close to her father who came late at night to send a message, asking her to attend the morning meeting of the Tomorrow clan as an attendee.
She couldn't help but feel surprised. She never thought that this day would come so quickly. Only a month and a half had passed since her father made the promise she made. But no matter what, she had taken a solid step towards the center of power.
That night, she went to bed half an hour early. The next day she got up half an hour earlier than usual. When the rooster crowed in the morning, she had already entered the ancestral hall, and was among the first few to enter the venue, silently waiting for the arrival of other attendees and attendees.
Jinyun Chong came to his fixed location by familiar means, and accidentally discovered a familiar face among the moving figures, and a feeling of unhappiness suddenly arose in his heart.
She had only been a member of the clan for a few months, but she was already on an equal footing with him. Her father opened the back door too unscrupulously, and the elders of the clan didn't stop him. After all, it was the uncle who had been absent for several months, and no one restrained her father, that allowed him to abuse his power.
, do whatever you want.
Jin Yunlan noticed the cold and sharp gaze. She glanced at it and dismissed it.
Jin Yunchong rolled his eyes and thought about it. He gave up the position behind the great elder and changed the way he was a stranger in the past. This time he took the initiative to approach Jin Yunlan, stood close to Jin Yunlan, and exchanged a warm greeting with her.
Huo's greeting was, "Good morning, eldest sister."
Jin Yunlan had had enough of his hidden prefaces every time, and was really frustrated. She looked forward and turned her eyes to the side, moving away repulsively, and replied without interest, "It's good for you too."
Jin Yunchong did not cynicize her as usual. After exchanging greetings, the two of them stood side by side and waited quietly for everyone to sit down.
When the first ray of morning light radiated from the sky, the great elder came belatedly. He was considered a hard-working man. He had been traveling for several months. He arrived at home last night, had a good night's sleep, and attended the morning meeting non-stop the next day.
Even Jin Yunlan couldn't help but admire him.
After the great elder took his seat, the morning meeting officially began.
As usual, the patriarch introduced the recent work center in the city. First, he mentioned the follow-up matters of embankment construction of the north and south water canals, then the issue of sorting and recycling of lanterns, lanterns and temporary shops set up for the lantern festival after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and finally the Jinyun College's original plans
A series of preparation work related to the autumn examination to be held next month is on the agenda.
Jin Yunlan listened carefully, and the entire venue was silent, listening to the clan leader's arrangements.
After the patriarch finishes his speech, the remaining twelve attendees will express their opinions, and those present can also make suggestions. Finally, the patriarch and the twelve attendees will jointly decide on the plan.
This was the entire content of the morning meetings in the past, summarizing the preliminary work and issuing follow-up tasks. But it was different today. After the patriarch finished speaking, he cast a look at the great elder.
The great elder nodded and took over the right to speak. He slapped his hands on the table gently, making an exceptionally clear sound in the quiet venue. He stood up slowly, glanced at the crowd with firm eyes, and said loudly:
"During my stay in Yucheng this time, the chief of the Fuguang tribe entertained me several times. In many conversations with him, I found that this man was arrogant and ambitious, and he hated the Supo tribe to the point of deep hatred. I predict that,
Within five years, there will be an inevitable battle between Fuguang and Supo!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally silent venue was suddenly filled with worried whispers.
