Chapter 16: Insidious

This weather is really strange, there has been no rain since the time when Xie Wei came to find Ji Yao, and after lunch, it turned out to be a good scene of the sun shining!

Ji Yao was leisurely chewing the dried beef cubes, while pulling the strings and recalling the method given by Liu Shao last night, and he didn't even notice that Chang Xi came back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Miss? Miss! Chang Xi stepped forward and shouted.

"Stinky girl, I hear you! If you make a louder noise, the people in the yard next door should hear it! Ji Yao glared at her and continued to study the bow and arrow in his hand.

Chang Xi pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "Miss, I just went out and discovered a great secret!" ”

"You say, I'll listen."

Chang Xi listened to Ji Yao's indifferent tone, coughed lightly, and deliberately accentuated his tone: "When I passed by the side hall, I overheard the conversation between the prince and the second master, and the prince wanted to hold a talent contest after the seventh test......

"Bastard! It's really my Chang family is a silver vault! Ji Yao's eyes were shocked, and the cold arrow in his hand flew out with a swish.

The power of this arrow was beyond Ji Yao's imagination, and it actually pierced the window and shot out, and then there was an exclamation and heavy footsteps outside the window.

"Oh no, Miss! You shouldn't stab someone outside the house! Chang Xi said that he pulled his legs and walked out, and Ji Yao was also unusually uneasy in his heart, so he hurriedly followed out.

But there was no one outside the Xuan window at all, and even the cold arrow she had just shot ~ out was nowhere to be found, Ji Yao felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't find a clue, so she hurriedly pulled Chang Xi back to the house.

"Chang Xi, you go back to the house now, go to your father's room and bring me the account book, remember not to be discovered by anyone." Ji Yao's eyebrows tightened, and his expression looked very solemn.

Although Chang Xi was stunned by her expression, he still sneered and said, "Miss...... You're not mistaken, right? The ledger is in the account room, how can it be in the big old man's room? ”

If it was an account book for ordinary silver expenses, then Ji Yao would not be so anxious, what she wanted was the account book of her father's dealings with the crown prince, the Jiang family, or other forces she didn't know.

Ji Yao knew that there was such an account book, but she didn't know where her father put it, as soon as her father left, she didn't know many things, if she didn't understand the current situation, she was afraid that she wouldn't even know how she died.

"That's right, it's the account book, you look for it carefully, you don't have to come back if you can't find it, and I'll go back to find it after the competition." Ji Yao saw Chang Xi nodding frequently, and admonished, "By the way, if you can't find it in your father's room, go to my room to find it, and the eldest brother's room, hasn't he been home for a long time?" Maybe it'll be with him, and ......"

"Phew! Beep! Hush! ”

Ji Yao was thinking about where the ledger might be hidden, and the person in front of her suddenly made all kinds of strange sounds, which made her very upset: "Chang Xi, don't make trouble, I'm talking to you about business!" ”

"Ji Yao......"

There was a loud bell like a voice from behind him, which frightened Ji Yao's heart suddenly, and then realized that this voice was actually the second uncle's, so he turned around and smiled: "Second uncle...... So you can recognize me? ”

"Nonsense! I ran out quietly without saying hello, and if it hadn't been for your cousin telling me, I wouldn't have known where you were! You're a big girl, what kind of body do you look like this! What's more, there are mostly men in this garden, and the courtyard is still shared with His Royal Highness King Su, if this spreads, what will your reputation be? Where is the face of the Chang family? Have you thought about it? ”

The second uncle has always been like this, and he is old-fashioned and strict in teaching people, but Ji Yao's thoughts are all on Jiang Chuxiu at the moment, how does my cousin know that she is here? Could it be that day...... Or was she recognized?

It shouldn't be, my cousin didn't see her face, how could it be so coincidental? Ji Yao heard that the second uncle finally shut up, so he raised his eyes and said: "Second uncle, I have no choice but to do it, as for the specific reason I can't say now, I will personally go back to the house in a few days to ask the second uncle for guilt." ”

"Well, I guess you're not a fun-loving person, I know you're ambitious, but what's not the way to do things? You can't do this kind of thing like a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and every step is the best plan. The second uncle's voice was obviously a lot more relaxed, and Ji Yao hurriedly took the opportunity to say, "Ji Yao has always remembered the teachings of the second uncle, and he will never dare to mess around." ”

The second uncle's frowning brows relaxed, and he sighed heavily and said, "Big brother left suddenly, many things in the house must be done by you, and it has hurt you." But no matter what, that matter must be resolved quickly, and the prince can't wait. ”

Ji Yao blinked, he didn't know what the incident in his mouth was, paused, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll solve it as soon as possible." ”

"You've got a idea?" Unexpectedly, the eyes of the person in front of him flashed, and he looked extremely excited, but his expectant eyes made Ji Yao's heart tremble, and he sneered, "Probably...... Should...... Maybe...... Yes, there is. ”

Ji Yao's mind was spinning fast, and he planned to find a perfect reason to prevaricate the second uncle, but he didn't want the second uncle to just smile faintly, nodded and said: "Well, it's good to have a way, you have always been very relieved to do things, the hour is not early, I have to go back to the house, you ......." ”

"Hehe......" Ji Yao scratched her neck, and when she saw that the second uncle was leaving, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him aside, glanced at Chang Xi, and complained, "This girl is stupid, she always spoils my good deeds, the second uncle will go back this time and bring her back by the way." ”

Seeing the second uncle nodding, Ji Yao told again: "She is also lazy now, and the second uncle will punish her for cleaning all the places in the house when she goes back." ”

"You!" The second uncle glanced at Ji Yao with disgust, and seemed to feel that her childishness had come up again.

Ji Yao turned sideways and looked at the person standing not far away, and said sharply, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you come over now? Dead girl, I'm still so lazy when I come back, see how I clean you up! ”

Chang Xi clenched his teeth, and forced himself not to laugh, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden, Ji Yao hurriedly rushed up and patted her head, and whispered: "Look down......"

The second uncle didn't say a word with a gloomy face at this point, and walked out of Ji Yao's sight with Chang Xi with a slight bow, and at this time, there was a sudden sound of gongs in the front yard.

"It's over! It's already started! ”

Ji Yao rushed into the room in shock, hurriedly took a bow and arrows and rushed to the front yard, but when he arrived at the front yard, he found that there was no one.

What's more maddening than failure is missing the competition! She almost wanted to hit her head against the wall, just a little bit, it was so uncomfortable.

"You can't think so?" Ji Yao hit his head on the back of his warm hand, and suddenly looked up, it was Zhu Shang, and seeing that he also missed the competition, he cried and laughed, "Heh, we can be regarded as brothers and friends." ”

"I said Brother Nan......" Zhu Shang looked at her helplessly, looked at the door, and said word by word, "Everyone is waiting for you at the door, why don't you hurry over?" ”
