The breeze was gentle in the woods, and every now and then a bird jumped on the branches. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Not far away, the bird flew in fright, and the man who was talking just now had his eyes rolling, and he just lifted one foot and didn't move.

I don't know when there was one more person in the forest, dressed in a gray robe, with rough facial features, an indifferent expression, and a cold voice when he spoke: "Can you still run?" The gray-clothed man had a scabbard around his waist, his hands clasped and his arms leaning against a tree, staring at the bald man and sneering.

Well, someone has come and taken the trouble away. Jiang Li patted the dust and got up and walked back.

"Who, who ran away? I just happened to be here. "The trouble behind him is still arguing.

A water-green corner flashed in the plum grove in front of him, and the person who came combed his double flat bun and wore a water-green jacket skirt, and when he saw the two extra people in front of Jiang Li, a girl swallowed it raw in her mouth.

"Master," Xiao Xiang changed her words quickly, glanced at the extra stranger, and approached and said, "Sixi is back, and there are ・・・・・・"

Jiang Li didn't hear clearly, and quickened his steps to Zhuangzi, with Xiaoxiang following behind.

"Stop!" There was a cold drink behind him.

Jiang Li couldn't help but glance back, facing Fan Yancheng's cold gaze.

In fact, as soon as he appeared in Jiang Li, he recognized the two brothers who were with Mrs. Fan for the first time in the silk village. She remembered that when she greeted him, he ignored people. So this time, she didn't take the initiative to say hello. What's more, she is now wearing men's clothes, she thought that Boss Fan should not recognize it.

"Miss Jiang, speaking of which, we are still relatives." Fan Yancheng spoke, and there was no hint of friendship on his face.

Jiang Li felt that he couldn't be rude, so he turned around and gave a salute, "Brother Fan!" Turning his head sideways at the stunned bald head and smiling, Fuli said, "Speaking of which, I should still call you brother-in-law!" The bald head grinned at the corners of his mouth and couldn't laugh.

The second child of the Fan family is bald, and Xiao Xiang's narrow eyes can't help but look at it a few more times, and snickering with crooked eyes.

Fan Yancheng, who was cold and arrogant in his impression, walked over step by step, and said: "Since you call me big brother, then I have to mention you a few words." It's not good for a girl's family to be too strong, and it's even worse to go the wrong way. ”

Jiang Li instantly blushed with anger, raised his eyebrows and stared at Fan Yancheng.

Fan Yancheng's cold face was expressionless, and his cold voice was flat: "I have also seen you beat people in Taibaiju." ”

"If you don't hit someone, are you waiting to be humiliated? If you don't sneak up on me, you can't beat him! Jiang Li's face flushed. She admits that that style of play is very unpopular, especially when men who are patriarchal will sneer at him.

"Hmph, after all, it's not rude and reckless! Also, I saw you in Wuyi Lane a few days ago. His fingers lifted and pointed at Xiaoxiang from afar, "And her." ”

Obviously, the spring breeze is warm, but Jiang Li feels that the spring is cold. She didn't understand what Fan Yancheng meant, so she could only listen to him quietly.

"If you are too self-conscious, you will be strong, I advise Miss Jiang to do it herself." Fan Yancheng's words sounded a little inexplicable.

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Jiang Li's reaction, turned around and pulled the second brother towards Merlin.

"Don't pull it, I won't run!"

"You and the third brother were taught by me, do you think you can run away?"

The two of them drifted away.

"Inexplicable!!" Xiao Xiang muttered.

"You just said Sixi, who else?" Jiang Li asked.

"And the eleventh young master, your younger brother." Xiaoxiang said.

Sixi's face was dark, and he smiled honestly and showed a mouthful of white teeth. When I came back from a long trip, I lost a lot of weight and looked more energetic.

Behind him was a thin mother-in-law, who saw Jiang Li and saluted and said, "The old slave is serving by the side of the eleventh son." The group that came back from Qingzhou all returned to the Jiang family. Before leaving, the grandmother told the old slave that the ninth girl and the little boy were close by blood, which was different from that of cousins and brothers. Even if you don't look at your aunt's thin noodles, you will treat the little boy well for the sake of the third master's entrustment. Therefore, after the old slave comes back, he will first come to the ninth girl to say goodbye, and everything will be done according to the nine girls. ”

Jiang Li was still young when his father took Aunt Zhao's mother and son away, and Jiang Li couldn't remember Aunt Zhao's appearance, let alone Jiang Ju, who was only a few months old when he left. However, his father asked Sixi to make a special trip to bring back Jiang Ju, who had been with him since he was a child, and his intention was really strange. Thinking of the earnest instructions in his father's letter last time, Jiang Li felt like a catastrophe was coming.

The mother-in-law has just arrived, and it is not easy to ask. Just wait until tomorrow to go home to see the younger brother who hasn't seen him for more than eight years.

Sixi replied that the line between Dayan and Nanchen had reached the border of Qingzhou. The plan of the third master to return to Beijing as a routine was canceled by the imperial court, and he still served in the same place, and Qingzhou also sent heavy troops to guard it. The situation is complicated, so Sixi took Jiang Ju back to Beijing. Aunt Zhao refused to leave, so she didn't come back. With that, present a letter.

Sixi handed over the account book to Jiang Li to read. More than half of the medicinal herbs and spices of the five ships had been sold before they arrived in Qingzhou, and the rest was almost 30,000 taels after the fines handed over to the Qingzhou Yamen and the wages of the people who ran the boat. Sixi and Ge Hai each received 5,000 taels, and the rest were handed over to the account.

Sixi and several boats of people returned safely, and the inside story Jiang was all known.

Jiang Li carefully asked about his father's current situation and sent Sixi to rest. Picking up the lamp and reading the letter, his eyes gradually brightened.

In an alley in the city of Beijing, a group of ragged idlers gathered in a pile to throw dice to compare sizes.

The roar of a group of ghosts crying wolves: "Big big !! A lazy male voice like a hanged man: "Little ・・・・・"

More than a dozen people bowed their heads at the same time, and there was a clanging sound, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes flashed with wolf-like fluorescence, scolding their mothers one by one.

A dirty-faced black sturdy guy got up from the crowd, his hair was still stuck obliquely into a crooked bun with a wooden stick, and his hands were wiped on the dirty jacket of unknown color, and he sighed like a hanged ghost: "It's been a day of gambling, from morning to now, I still have a little water, and the rice has not entered." You'll have to wait for me to fill your stomach. He stepped forward as he spoke.

"No, no!!" The crowd moved their hands and feet, and several hands pulled the little guy hard, and he sat down on the ground, and someone roared, "His grandmother is a bear, what the hell is today!" More than a dozen people have thrown money on you kid! Come again and again, the losers are all consumed here, how can there be a reason to win money first. Go, spit out your winnings! ”

"That's it!" More than a dozen people who lost were anxious, and some people stretched out their hands into the arms of the black boy.

The little guy covered his arms with his hands and didn't let go, his feet fluttered, and he shouted weakly, "I knew that you grandsons couldn't afford to lose, so I shouldn't have gambled with you." Come again, come again, say good, lose again, and if you don't have money, you have to get rid ・・・・・・of it" Before he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers on his head, his brain hurt, and his eyes were full of stars. Just about to scold my mother, someone came to call me dumb.

The black little guy sat up from the ground with a snort, grinned and called affectionately: "Fifth brother! ”

As he spoke, he took out the scattered silver in his arms with both hands, and threw it into the ground, and the crowd buzzed and robbed, and the little guy got out of the crowd. In front of him, a man dressed in dark color clothes and graceful eyes with black eyebrows and starry eyes, his handsome face was like a pearl, and he slapped the little maid's head and said angrily: "Dumb, you have become a little beggar!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't? It's worse than a beggar. Who told you not to take me back to Qingzhou. It's good if you come back, I'll call Brother Xia with you! Dumb jumped away.
