Early the next morning. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info green pothos was grooming Jiang Li, Qiushuang hurriedly stepped into Jiang Li's room, and as soon as she entered the door, she said: "Miss Jiang, Fan Gongzi is gone!" I asked the girls to search the front and back yards but no one was found, do you want to let the little girl go outside to look for it? ”

"No need to look for it, he's gone." Jiang Li said lightly.

Qiushuang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and muttered: "Didn't you give him a needle last night, why did he leave." ”

A gorgeous brocade robe lined with the snow-like skin of the second frost, and a pair of single phoenix eyes with questions. Looking up at Jiang Li's eyes reflected in the mirror, "Could it be that he has regained his memory?" ”

Jiang Li looked at the autumn frost in the mirror and nodded.

"However, his internal strength-" Qiu Shuang bit her lip suddenly, her eyes rolled around, and she suddenly realized: "I said how can there be no internal force at all, it turns out that he deliberately restrained his internal strength, and even I was concealed by him, no wonder the fifth brother said that he is a difficult person to deal with." ”

After combing her hair, the green pothos gave Jiang Li a hairpin with a white jade fan pendant pearl on her head, picked up a prepared autumn wave and sunset skirt and waited for Jiang Li to change into it, and carefully sorted out the folds of her clothes.

"Are you going out?" Qiushuang asked.

"Hmm. Today I took Jiang Ju to visit a friend of my father's. Jiang Li replied.

As soon as Fan Sicheng left, there was nothing to do with Qiushuang, so she was going to leave Jiang Li and go back to Qingfeng Village. Jiang Li asked Jin Ju to seal a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, and some silk and satin brought by Jiangnan to send Qiushuang out.

As soon as Qiushuang left, Jiang Li also took Jiang Ju out. The person the sister and brother are going to visit today is surnamed Zhou Mingyan, and he is currently the governor of Qingzhou. He is in charge of the cantonment, training, armament, errand and border affairs of the Qingzhou City Xiang Army.

Fan Sicheng and Xiao Yu both mentioned it to Jiang Li, saying that Zhou Yan and Jiang Li's father used to be close friends, and Jiang Ju also had some impressions of Zhou Yan. Jiang Li asked people to go to Zhou's house to pay a visit a few days ago, and Zhou's family replied to the post to invite him, so Jiang Li took Jiang Ju to Zhou's house in a car today.

The Zhou family lives in an official office, and there are officers and soldiers guarding the door. Sixi, who was driving the car, took out a post and showed it to the soldiers guarding the door, "It turned out to be Miss Gongzi sentenced by Jiang Tong!" The doorkeeper was a veteran, and his voice was full of surprise and relief.

After the veteran finished speaking, he bowed to the sisters and brothers who were separated by the curtain, and let Sixi drive the car into the gate.

Get out of the car at the gate, there is another gate inside, and the two old servants led the sister and brother into the gate and through the garden, the garden is neat, but it is not as good as the garden that Jiang Li saw that day.

Jiang Li took his younger brother and followed the old servant, and went through the information he had inquired about this master surnamed Zhou.

It is said that Zhou Yan came to Qingzhou two years earlier than Jiang Li's father, Jiang Zongjin, and was also transferred from outside the capital.

Zhou Yan is an honest official and kind to others, but his ability is mediocre, and he will not be flattering. After so many years, he is still in the position of the capital eunuch. His official luck is not good, but he has never been like the capital eunuchs in other places, taking advantage of the opportunity of military service to loot the people, so the people of Qingzhou have a good reputation for him.

There is only one thing, Zhou Yan has only one son, and the couple loves him very much. But this son is not very successful. I can't read, I can embroider my legs, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and he is a well-known overlord in Qingzhou. often betrays him to do some bullying and bullying of men and women.

Zhou Yan's wife is also extremely protective of her son, which is a typical example of a loving mother with many defeated children. When her son made mistakes, she not only connived, but also often tried every means to hide from Zhou Yan. All these things must stain the innocent reputation that Zhou Yan has worked hard to maintain.

Jiang Li learned that Zhou Yan had a very personal relationship with his father, and heard Jiang Ju say that he also liked this Uncle Zhou when he was young, so he wanted to hear something about his father from Zhou Yan's mouth. In addition, she wanted to buy the house where her father lived, so Jiang Li had to visit this father's best friend no matter what.

Entering the garden and turning around a single courtyard in front of the promenade, there are a few flowers and trees in the courtyard, a few cypress trees, under the tree stands a middle-aged man wearing a cyan crewneck shirt and a big belly, next to a middle-aged woman, with a round face and kind eyebrows, the two looked at the sisters and brothers who walked in and smiled amiably.

"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou is good." Jiang Ju bowed from afar.

Jiang Ju was seven or eight years old when he left Qingzhou, and the deepest impression in his memory was his father's best friend, and the Zhou family was a frequent visit to him, so he recognized the middle-aged couple as soon as he entered the garden.

Jiang Li walked a few steps in front of the middle-aged couple and stood still, saying "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou." Ying Ying bowed down.

"No courtesy, no courtesy! Look, you two are so old. Zhou Yan looked at Jiang Ju with a smile, looked at Jiang Li again, and ordered people to serve tea.

Mrs. Zhou took Jiang Li's hand and looked it up and down, turned back to Zhou Yan and praised: "I have seen a portrait of his wife painted by Zong Jin before, and I also told you that where in the world is there a woman who was born so beautiful, most of it is that his lover has inevitably painted it a little too much, and now that he sees his daughter, is it from the painting?!" ”

"That's not right! No matter how beautiful the person in the painting is, there is no aura in the eyes of the girl in front of her, which is more beautiful than the person in the painting. Mrs. Zhou, who was smiling, talked to herself, and Jiang Li was not embarrassed, just polite to her.

Zhou Yan carefully asked Jiang Ju when he came, the situation in the past few years when he returned to the capital, etc., Jiang Ju answered one by one, because before he came, Jiang Li had instructed him not to mention Xiao Yu and Qingfeng Village, so Jiang Ju concealed the matter that he had been here for half a year, and only said that he had come here with his sister to do business, and he had only come for a short time.

Zhou Yan also knew that Jiang Zongjin's original wife was a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, and the Mei family's business spread all over the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and even overseas over the years.

However, Mrs. Zhou asked Jiang Li carefully: "What kind of business do you sisters and brothers do in Qingzhou?" Where to stay"

In recent years, the world has gradually opened up, and there have been more women doing business, especially in the coastal area, I heard that there are women who open shipyards and build ships, so Mrs. Zhou is not surprised that Jiang left Qingzhou to do business.

"Open a few small textile workshops." Jiang Li lightly skipped about the business matter, "The place where I live is newly bought, just in the back street of the south of the city, not far from the house where my father used to live." ”

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's "oh", Jiang Li mentioned that he wanted to ask the Zhou family about buying the house.

Zhou Yan waved his hand and said very simply: "What to buy, you have to look at it, just move in and live there, you can live as long as you want!" If you have anything else to pay rent, your father has such a good relationship with me, and you can continue to live in the place where he lived, and I will be happy if you are happy. ”

Jiang Li's face was embarrassed: "Then how can it be done?" Turning his eyes at Mrs. Zhou, "Auntie, do you see that I really want to buy it, so can't I be accommodating?" ”

Mrs. Zhou gave Jiang Li a look and said with a smile: "Let's go to the garden for a walk." Jiang Li immediately responded and got up.
