Ji Yuebai, who was visiting the Su Mansion for the first time, brought many gifts, all of which were good-looking and valuable.
Half of them were sent to Su Liang. When Ji Xiaoshu came to Qian Country, he had overall considerations in mind, but more for Ji Xiaoshu himself. Ji Yuebai knew that his son was unhappy, and he really didn't have that much time to spend with him. Shu, and being very relieved about Gu Ling, decided to let Ji Xiaoshu change his life in a different environment. In Ji Yuebai's expectations, when Ji Xiaoshu came to the Su Mansion, the first important thing was not to become a disciple, but to find a master's wife.
Previously, Ji Xiaoshu would write letters to Ji Yuebai every once in a while, and Gu Ling arranged for someone to deliver them. In the letters, he always told Ji Yuebai in a very happy tone: My wife is so amazing, she can do this and that, and she can do everything. What did the teacher’s wife teach me, what delicious food did the teacher’s wife cook for me, and the teacher’s wife is my first favorite person!
In this way, Ji Yuebai knew that his expectations were not only realized, but also exceeded.
Of course, Ji Yuebai also knew that Gu Ling loved Ji Xiaoshu very much. Because of this, Ji Xiaoshu dared to be so naughty in front of Gu Ling. He was clearly confident.
The other gifts are for Zheng'er and Gu Xiaonuan.
There was only one thing given to Gu Ling, which was a set of carving knives. It was used by a master carver from the Yan Kingdom. It looked a bit old, but it was definitely extraordinary.
"Dad, you are too stingy to prepare just one gift for my master." Ji Xiaoshu first expressed his dissatisfaction.
Ji Yuebai smiled and explained, "I can't help it. I really can't imagine what your master lacks."
Ji Xiaoshu immediately asked, "Then dad gave my master's wife so many treasures, is it because she lacks them?"
Ji Yuebai coughed lightly, "Of course not...your master and master's wife are together, why are they so clear-cut?" She covered her son's mouth as she spoke, but don't let him down!
As for the books on medical and poisonous techniques collected by the Yan Kingdom Palace, Ji Yuebai secretly sent people to transport them to Su Liang and Gu Ling long ago, as well as many precious medicinal materials.
"Xiaoshu, your family is really rich." Zheng'er put on the gold mask Ji Yuebai gave him and said with a smile.
Ji Xiaoshu shook his head, "Elder brother, the most important thing in our family is money. There is no need to give my father face like this. My family is already in decline."
Ji Yuebai laughed loudly, "Yes, from now on we will follow your master and your wife!"
Although he said that, Ji Yuebai was a very clear-headed person who always knew what he wanted. He immediately told Gu Ling and Su Liang that he had a plan next, and planned to go to Liang Country for on-the-spot investigation and find Some crops suitable for the climate and land there were promoted so that the people of Liang State could have enough to eat and live a good life.
Su Liang was surprised. Gu Ling said that Ji Yuebai was a man with real ideals and ambitions, but Su Liang thought that after he unified the world, he would be able to settle down and become a wealthy and leisure king, because he had already accomplished something It is a great event that will benefit all people in the world. I didn't expect that he would not be idle and would find a hard job for himself.
Zheng'er took off the gold mask on his face, sat next to Ji Yuebai, and said seriously with a small face, "My family is in the grain business. I don't know if I can help."
Ji Yuebai smiled and rubbed Zheng'er's little face, "What a good boy! I was planning to go back and talk to your grandpa!"
"Master's wife, can you do what my father said?" Ji Xiaoshu asked Su Liang, whom he trusted the most.
Su Liang nodded, "As long as there is a will, there is hope. Regarding this, I have some ideas that may not be feasible."
Ji Yuebai's eyes lit up, "My younger siblings also understand this? That's great!"
Su Liang only gave Ji Yuebai some advice based on some knowledge from her previous life.
When Ji Yuebai heard this, she knew that Su Liang really understood. She took note of it carefully and planned to have a good talk with Duanmu Chen tomorrow. After unifying the world, the next step is to make the people's lives better than before, especially in the bitter cold.
The original people of the Liang Kingdom in the area may choose to move to warmer places, but the vast majority of people will not leave their hometown. And the only way to directly give the surplus food in the south to the food-deficient people in the north is to
A temporary solution is not a long-term solution.
After finishing the serious chat, Ji Yuebai suddenly brought up the previous topic, "Xiaoshu, you said you like your master's wife the most, your sister the second, and your senior brother. Then where does your master rank?"
Ji Xiaoshu chuckled, "Anyway, it's just one rank higher than dad's!"
Ji Yuebai stood up silently and drifted away. She originally wanted to sleep with her son tonight, but decided to forget it. This kid has found a happy new home and doesn't want him as a father anymore...
Then I heard Ji Xiaoshu's voice coming from behind me, "Master, look, my father doesn't want me anymore! He didn't even ask me if I want to go with him. It's so sad!"
Ji Yuebai immediately turned around, "Son, let's go! Go home with dad!"
A successful smile appeared on Ji Xiaoshu's face, "This is my home. Dad, please leave quickly. It's not polite to stay as a guest so late!"
Ji Yuebai was speechless, and then watched Ji Xiaoshu being "thrown" out of Yuanming Pavilion by Gu Ling, followed by his faint voice, "Go and sleep with your father tonight."
Ji Yuebai: Xiao Gu is such a cold-hearted person!
He carried Ji Xiaoshu and walked out. Ji Xiaoshu looked at the stars in the sky and asked in his ear, "Dad, you said that Master doesn't allow my sister to get married to me. Who do you want your sister to get married to?"
Ji Yuebai shook her head, "Maybe she wants to wait until Nuannuan grows up? Then she will marry whoever Nuannuan likes."
Ji Xiaoshu blinked, "Does my sister not like me? This is impossible!"
Ji Yuebai smiled, "You don't understand the kind of relationship that leads to marriage. You will know it when you both grow up." Of course he wanted to be his in-laws with Gu Ling and Su Liang, but for this kind of thing, let nature take its course.
Just fine.
"It's just like Master and Master, I know." Ji Xiaoshu said that there is a best example around him.
Ji Yuebai smiled and asked, "What do you think your master and wife are like?"
Ji Xiaoshu thought carefully for a moment and then said, "It's that kind of... feeling of telepathy! Master doesn't even need to speak, Master Niang knows what he is thinking, and vice versa!"
Ji Yuebai raised his eyebrows, "That's right." His son has really grown a lot, but his cuteness has not diminished at all, which is very good.
Then I heard Ji Xiaoshu say, "My senior brother and I are also practicing that kind of 'telecommunication'. He is so good at guessing, but he can never guess what I am thinking. It's really frustrating!"
Ji Yuebai's head was full of black lines, so he changed the subject and asked Ji Xiaoshu how he was reading.
…
The next day, Duanmu Chen held a banquet in the palace to entertain Ji Yuebai, and Ji Xiaoshu was also there. Duanmu Chen sent Chang'an to invite Gu Ling and Su Liang in advance, but they were busy today and did not come.
Duanmu Chen was also surprised by what Ji Yuebai wanted to do, but immediately expressed his strong support. He and Ji Yuebai could not say that they hit it off, but they were also very compatible, and they made an appointment to talk in detail together another day.
After the banquet was over, Ji Yuebai took Ji Xiaoshu to visit Ji Yuexuan.
"Aunt Yue!" When Ji Xiaoshu rushed in, Ji Yuexuan was tending flowers and plants in the courtyard. She knew that Ji Yuebai was coming, but Duanmu Chen didn't let her go to the banquet. It would be better this way. If she went, as Duanmu Chen's noble concubine
It was embarrassing to show up as someone else.
"Xiaoshu is here." Ji Yuexuan smiled softly, put down the shovel in her hand, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and hugged Ji Xiaoshu who rushed over. Su Liang occasionally brought Ji Xiaoshu into the palace to see her before.
"It seems that my sister is doing well." Ji Yuebai walked in. Looking around, the environment was quiet and elegant, while Ji Yuexuan looked better than when she was in the Yanguo Palace. She was dressed plainly and elegantly, without much jewelry, but her clothes were made of expensive materials.
, there is a sense of ease and ease between her brows, not like a woman in a deep palace.
"Brother..." Ji Yuexuan couldn't help but blush when she saw Ji Yuebai. The two were not born from the same mother, but Ji Yuebai had secretly helped Ji Yuexuan a lot. And she knew that she could have the life she has now, and
For the future she wanted, the first person she wanted to thank was Su Liang, and the second person was Ji Yuebai. It was also because Ji Yuebai chose to form an alliance with Qian Guo that Duanmu Chen was so tolerant and kind to her.
"Why are you crying? I made an agreement with the emperor that I am here to take you out of the palace today." Ji Yuebai smiled brightly and said, "From now on, you will be the young lady of Prince Yan's Mansion. When Bai Yang comes back, I will make the decision for you to get married."
Ji Yuexuan was overjoyed, "Really? Can I leave the palace?"
"Of course!" Ji Xiaoshu nodded, "Uncle Emperor was very happy and said that Auntie can leave at any time! Is Auntie reluctant to part with the flowers grown here? You can also take them away! Uncle Emperor will definitely not mind!"
Ji Yuexuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll clean up right now." There was nothing unpleasant about her days in the palace, but the environment itself was depressing. Leaving the palace meant that she was truly free. And it was
Her most trusted brother came to pick her up, and from now on she would also have someone from her mother's family to support her.
"Auntie, can I pick a flower and give it to my wife?" Ji Xiaoshu stared at Ji Yuexuan's flower.
Ji Yuexuan smiled and said, "Of course. You can just pick it as you like."
"Oh, there are too few flowers here, I'd better go to the emperor's uncle's garden for a stroll!" Ji Xiaoshu didn't regard himself as an outsider.
Ji Yuebai asked Ji Yuexuan to take care of things slowly, and he took Ji Xiaoshu to visit the imperial garden. Chang'an was ordered to accompany them.
Finally, Ji Xiaoshu picked a large bouquet of flowers and asked Chang An to find beautiful silk and satin to wrap it up and give it to Su Liang when she left the palace.
When leaving the palace, Ji Yuexuan looked back and couldn't help but sigh, "Compared to Concubine Liang, I'm so lucky." She knew that she had made stupid mistakes in the past. If she hadn't had the help of Su Liang, she would have been in trouble long ago.
Falling into dire straits.
Ji Yuebai nodded, "There will be a long time to come, so look forward."
"Lord Yan...is this decided by the emperor?" Ji Yuexuan felt that this title was unlucky.
Ji Yuebai smiled and said, "What a resounding name! You will be King Yan's sister from now on, let's see who dares to provoke her!"
Ji Xiaoshu patted her chest and said, "I am the Crown Prince of Yan! But being the apprentice of the Prince Regent sounds more majestic!"
Ji Yuebai:... When the son grows up, he can no longer control his father, so he belongs to...
Ji Xiaoshu only stayed at Ji Yuebai's place for one night, and then happily ran back to the Su Mansion holding a large bouquet of flowers.
Su Liang was also very happy that she could have a son without having to give birth herself, and was happy to be close to the children.
…
Two days later, an unexpected guest came to Su Mansion.
Su Liang knew this man as the killer of Yan Yun Tower. After Yan Shiba and Yan Shiqi broke up, this man became her confidant. His name was Yan Shijiu, and he was also one of Yan Sui's disciples.
Last year, Yan Shiba learned from Gu Ling that something had happened to Su Liang, so he took most of Yan Yun Tower's killers to the Liang Kingdom to trouble Situ Xie. Afterwards, he completely cut off contact with Gu Ling and Su Liang.
In the meantime, Su Liang did not stop looking for Yan Shiba. He also sent people to ask Monk Chengyun several times, but there was still no news about her. Even the killer of Yan Yun Tower seemed to have disappeared overnight and could never be found again.
Su Liang had previously thought that something had happened to Yan Shiba, and that he might have been killed by Yan Shiqi and took control of Yanyun Tower. After searching to no avail, he had no choice but to give up.
But that day, Yan Shijiu suddenly came to the Su Mansion to look for Su Liang, and said that Yan Shiba was still alive, but he was about to die.
Su Liang stared, "What's going on? Where were you before?"
One of Yan Shijiu's sleeves was empty, his arm was gone, and there was a long scar on his face. He sighed deeply and said, "Last year, the host took us to Liang Kingdom to do some work. After finishing the work, he left Yao
City, found a place to rest for half a month, and then returned to Qian Kingdom. But before we left Liang Kingdom, we ran into trouble."
Yan Shiqiu said that a traitor appeared in their team and leaked their whereabouts. Yan Shiqiu colluded with a group of people, all of whom were top masters, causing them heavy casualties. He and Yan Shiba were both captured and imprisoned.
A dark place for Yan Shiqi to torture and have fun.
"I pretended to surrender at first, but Yan Shiqi didn't believe it at all and cut off my arm. About three or four months ago, I'm not sure about the time, it seems that the group he colluded with left without saying hello. Yan Shiqi
Qi then disappeared and sent someone to watch us. He hated Shiba so much and said he would never allow her to die. Before he left, he suddenly changed his mind and said he would have a good talk with me when he came back. I wonder if he planned to accept me.
Perhaps he surrendered because his backer had a problem and he needed someone to hire someone." Yan Jiujiu said with a stern face, "I have been trying to persuade the people guarding us, but in the end it didn't work, but because I was no longer tortured, my body recovered.
Some, half a month ago, finally waited for an opportunity, killed the guards, and escaped with Shiba, who was seriously injured."
"Where is she?" Su Liang asked.
"In Sujia Village, Bei'an County." Yan Shijiu tugged on the empty sleeve of his right arm, "I wanted to bring her here directly, but her health was too bad and she couldn't bear the bumps. She passed by Bei'an County
, she insisted on going to Sujiacun, saying that she would wait for you at your original home. The neighbors, the Bai family, still recognized her and said they could help take care of her, so I came over alone. Doctor Su, you must save her.
!”
Yan Jiu also brought letters written by brothers Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu to Su Liang. Both children missed her and Gu Ling very much and hoped that they could go back to their hometown to visit when they had time. They also mentioned Sister Jiujiu and said that she was ill.
It's very heavy, and Aunt Bai is taking care of her.
"Qi Yan, take him to eat something and take a rest first." Su Liang called Qi Yan.
Yan Jiujiu shook his head, looking anxious, "I'm fine, can Divine Doctor Su go to Sujia Village?"
Su Liang didn't nod or shake his head, "I'll discuss it with my family before I give you an answer."
…
After Yan Shijiu left, Gu Ling came downstairs with Gu Xiaonuan in his arms. He heard the conversation just now.
"Master, do you think he is trustworthy?" Su Liang asked with a frown.
"I'll go there," Gu Ling said. Anyone involved in Sujia Village must go and take a look, even if there is fraud involved.
