Chapter 218: Confidants

Add more, ask for a monthly pass

……

Xie Zhixian's eyes flashed, and then he squinted slightly. He smiled and nodded to Xie Huaijin.

"Do you still need to ask for this? Is your father such a person who doesn't know what to do, or do you not believe in being a father? Xie Zhixian squinted at Xie Huaijin.

"No, I, I'm ......" Xie Huaijin's face showed a look of shame, and he said in a snort.

Xie Zhixian suddenly laughed when he saw Xie Huaijin embarrassed.

"I know, it's Xiaotang who weighs too much in your heart." There was no reproach in Xie Zhixian's tone, but some banter.

Xie Huaijin's face turned red.

"Well, you go to the back to see your mother. You don't have to tell your mother about these words. In case your mother is not careful, it will be difficult for you to explain to Xiaotang. Seeing that Xie Huaijin was so embarrassed, Xie Zhixian smiled, and sent Xie Huaijin down.

When Xie Huaijin left, there was no one else in the house, Xie Zhixian slowly put away the smile on his face, squinted his eyes and pondered.

"The Ji family is still married." Xie Zhixian muttered to himself.

……

Han Zhen stayed in the Ji family, except for a trip to the Ji family's Qingxi Village and the ancestral tomb, he didn't go out anymore. Every day in Ji's house, he talks with Ji Er, Ji San, and Ji Xiaotang, or walks in the Ruyi Garden, as if he has nothing to do and is very comfortable.

Han Zhen also met Mrs. Ji and gave some good supplements to Mrs. Ji as a meeting gift. Mrs. Ji, Han Zhen is my junior gift. He also chatted with Mrs. Ji for a long time.

Mrs. Ji doesn't like to be lively, and after Mrs. Ji passed away, she rarely saw outsiders. Even if you see it, it's just a few words of greeting. But she actually talked to Han Zhen very well.

Of course, this is not because the two have similar temperaments, or that Mrs. Ji is suddenly good at talking, but because Han Zhen is too good at talking.

Han Zhen actually got along with the old man like this, and he was extremely patient.

Ji Xiaotang was present at the time, and he couldn't help but look at Han Zhen with admiration. She didn't expect that Han Zhen would have such a side.

Afterwards. In front of Second Master Ji and others, Mrs. Ji praised Han Zhen very much, saying that this young man was polite. He was talented and learned, and he was the best man she had ever seen.

Except for her own relatives, Mrs. Ji rarely praises people, and she strongly admires a person like this. It's even rarer.

this day. Han Zhen and the Ji family were sitting in the flower hall chatting, and a little girl came to report that there was a guest in front.

"It's Lord Qi Qianhu of Fucheng."

Qi You is here.

"This is the person who urged me, hehe." Han Zhen said with a smile. Qi Younian came to see Han Zhen.

When Ji Xiaotang heard it, he was not surprised at all. Han Zhen has a special identity, even if he goes out of Beijing to make an unannounced visit without alarming the place, he will not relax his guards. Qi Younian is the leader of the guards of Ren'an Mansion and the little marquis of the Mighty Marquis Mansion. Know Han Zhen's whereabouts and come to meet the guards. It makes sense.

Because Qi Younian came to see Han Zhen, Han Zhen sat in the flower hall again and didn't plan to move, so Master Ji San personally went to the front and welcomed Qi Younian to the flower hall.

Qi Younian entered the flower hall and saw Han Zhen sitting on it, and he was busy provoking the brocade robe.

Han Zhen looked at Qi Younian and smiled very kindly. Waiting for Qi Younian to bow down, Han Zhen hurriedly got up, took Qi Younian's hand, and helped Qi Younian up.

"Ayou doesn't have to be polite, I haven't seen you for many days, Ayou seems to have grown taller again." Han Zhen and Qi Younian took their brother to be familiar and kind to their younger brother.

When the two met, Ji Xiaotang could see that the two were not only very familiar, but also had a great relationship.

No wonder Han Zhen was assassinated in Mujiazhai last time, it would be Qi Younian, who was only one hundred households at the time, and he brought people to cook.

"The fourth brother's demeanor is still the same, and the younger brother misses it very much." Qi Younian also said with a smile.

Han Zhen pulled Qi Younian into his seat and talked to Qi Younian with a smile.

"Changning misses you very much, knowing that I came out of Beijing, asked me if I would pass by Ren An, and asked me to promise her, even if I didn't pass by Ren An, I would go to Ren An to see you for her. …… Changning also asked me to bring you a letter......" Han Zhen said this, with a playful look on his face, "Ayou, I have been a messenger for you for my brother, how can you thank my brother?" ”

As soon as Han Zhen said Changning, Qi Younian's face changed color slightly, and he quickly glanced at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang didn't care too much about it, but he could see Qi Younian's expression, and suddenly he wanted to know very much who Changning was.

"Fourth brother, don't play tricks on me." Qi Younian did not follow Han Zhen into the seat, but said helplessly, "I'm just a martial artist, I'm away all the year round, and I ...... with Changning But I met once when I was a child. She was afraid that she didn't know who I was, what worries and letters she was talking about. Don't dare. ”

"You, you, you're still shy in front of the fourth brother." Han Zhen smiled again, "When you returned to Beijing this time, didn't you meet her and have a good conversation." After Changning went home, he didn't talk about you a lot. Hehe, it won't be long before my brother will say hello to you. ”

"I can't afford to be a joke like the fourth brother." Qi Younian is colorful.

Seeing Qi Younian like this, Han Zhen smiled slightly, as if he was saying that young people were shy and dishonest, and duplicitous, but he put aside the topic of Changning for the time being.

Qi Younian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and greeted Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang again.

When talking to Ji Xiaotang, Qi Younian's tone and demeanor were very careful, and he kept secretly looking at Ji Xiaotang's face.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries, and Qi Younian also sat down.

Qi Younian handed Han Zhen an excerpt, he came to pick up Han Zhen, and it was time for Han Zhen to return to Beijing.

Han Zhen did not avoid the Ji family, but opened the fold in public to watch. After reading it, Han Zhen frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything else, and when he finished reading the fold, he put it away, and there was no obvious change in the expression on his face.

"I was going to stay a little longer, but it seems that I can't live there." Han Zhen said slowly.

Although Ji Xiaotang and the others were curious, they were not easy to ask. Han Zhen did not hide the meaning of the Ji family.

"Something happened in Kyochu." Han Zhen explained. "There is a big case sent to the south for disaster relief. These daring moths! ”

Han Zhen explained very simply, and did not say in detail.

However, everyone present in the Ji family was shocked.

There was a big case of disaster relief to the south, moths. What kind of case could it be, I'm afraid that someone really embezzled the money for disaster relief, and the defendant sent it out. This is indeed a big deal, and it is no wonder that Jingzhong will let Han Zhen go back sooner.

"The matter has come out, no matter how urgent it is, I can't start today. Let's wait for tomorrow, Ayou will also take a break. Not on this day. Han Zhen said.

Qi Younian naturally agreed.

Everyone talked again, and Qi Younian said goodbye and left first, he didn't come alone this time. He also brought with him a large number of soldiers. Because Han Zhen couldn't leave immediately, he had to go and set up the soldiers.

"I'll be back later." Qi Younian said when he was leaving, and secretly glanced at Ji Xiaotang again before leaving in a hurry.

Qi Younian is gone. Han Zhen also stood up. But he did not go out of the garden, but walked inward.

"I heard that Master Ji's family has a library of books, and there is no shortage of ancient and rare books, I don't know if I can be lucky enough to see them. I have begged for the book "Seeking War" for many years, and if Master Ji has it here, I just borrowed it to take a look. Han Zhen said with a smile, although he said this by looking at Second Master Ji, the corner of his eyes swept towards Ji Xiaotang.

Han Zhen's words meant something. Ji Xiaotang naturally heard it.

The book of war has long been given to Qi Younian by Ji Xiaotang. And the Ji family has the thing about this book. No outsider has ever known, and he has never told anyone about the book when he gave it to Qi Younian.

The only people who know about this book and this matter are Ji Xiaotang, Ji Er, Ji San, and Qi Younian.

The Ji family will not tell Han Zhen about this, so there is only Qi Younian.

Qi Younian didn't hide anything from Han Zhen!

However, is this incident really caused by Qi Younian to sΓΉ Han Zhen?

Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyes slightly, Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji both accompanied Han Zhen to the Library Pavilion, but Ji Xiaotang stood still.

Han Zhen walked a few steps and found that Ji Xiaotang didn't follow, so he stopped and turned around, meaning to let Ji Xiaotang go with him.

Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyes, as if he didn't see it at all.

Han Zhen seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally didn't speak. And Master Ji Er and Master Ji San didn't seem to understand what he meant, and they didn't speak.

In the end, it was Master Ji Er and Master Ji San who accompanied Han Zhen to the Library Pavilion, and Ji Xiaotang and the others walked away, so they slowly walked outside Ruyi Garden.

……

Qi Younian returned to Ji Mansion again, and the first one he saw Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang......" Qi Younian talked to Ji Xiaotang with full caution. Fourth Brother...... Changning ......"

Qi Younian wanted to explain to Ji Xiaotang, but Ji Xiaotang didn't ask anything, and his expression was faint, so Qi Younian's heart became more and more uneasy, and he almost didn't know how to say what he wanted to explain.

"Ayou, you don't have to tell me about these things." Ji Xiaotang glanced at Qi Younian, and then turned around. "You and your fourth brother are naturally closer. You have a lot of people close to you, and you don't need to tell me all of them. ”

Qi Younian was a little stunned.

Sure enough, it was Han Zhen's words that made Ji Xiaotang misunderstand! However, with Ji Xiaotang's temperament, if it was just those words, it shouldn't be so awkward. Moreover, Ji Xiaotang's attitude and speech faintly complained about him.

Is there something going on that he doesn't know about?

Qi Younian was puzzled.

"Xiaotang, Changning, it's not like the fourth brother said. It wasn't for him to mention it, I don't remember seeing Changning the last time I went back to Beijing. …… I came and went in a hurry, and I couldn't care about anything other than my sister's funeral. No matter what, Qi Younian still said what he wanted to explain, even if it was a bit abrupt, even if Ji Xiaotang refused to listen to him.

"Ayou, the book I gave you ......" Ji Xiaotang originally turned his back to Qi Younian, but at this time he slowly turned around. She didn't even ask who Changning was.

"I've always carried the book with me." Qi Younian saw Ji Xiaotang ask about the book of Battle, and hurriedly reached out to his chest and took out a book, which was the book that Ji Xiaotang copied for him. "It's not good to carry it around, I've put it away properly. This one has never left me. ”

Qi Younian said this, almost subconsciously rubbing the cover of the book.

The book is new, and it seems that it is often held in the hand to look at it, but it is so well preserved that it is evident that the reader is very careful and cherishes it.

"Xiaotang, did I do something wrong?" Qi Younian asked.

"Nope." Ji Xiaotang thought about it and replied.

But Ji Xiaotang's expression didn't seem to match what she said. Qi Younian wanted to ask if it was true, but he didn't ask after all.

"Ayo, let me ask you something. If you can't say it, I don't blame you. Ji Xiaotang paused slightly, then lowered his voice and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Han Zhen, the last time he came to Qingyuan, did he ever make up a private visit?"

"He has an important errand on his shoulders, and he only tells me five or six times out of ten. As for make-up secret visits, there must be. Xiaotang, why do you ask? ”

"I suspect I've ever seen him, on Cheonggye Mountain." Ji Xiaotang said.

Qi Younian did not speak.

Ji Xiaotang looked at Qi Younian's expression, so he didn't ask again.

Ji Xiaotang also did not have a sheath of money

"Xiaotang, you have to be more careful when you go in and out recently." The two of them were silent for a while, and Qi Younian instructed Ji Xiaotang, "There is a big drought this year, and the public security situation is not as good as in previous years." If the autumn harvest is not alleviated, the problem will be even more severe. ”

"I know." Ji Xiaotang nodded, "Is my grandfather's family okay?" ”

"They are very good, they came out in a hurry this time, and they didn't bring a letter for you." Qi Younian said.

"It's okay, just know that everyone is okay." Ji Xiaotang nodded, "When you go back, just help my mother bring a letter." ”

"Okay." Qi Younian happily agreed.

A little girl came over and said that Han Zhen had asked Qi Younian to pass. Qi Younian had no choice but to say goodbye to Ji Xiaotang and go to the guest house to see Han Zhen.

Ji Xiaotang returned to his room, sat down and thought for a while, then got up and went to the bookcase under the window. Xiu'er hurriedly prepared rice paper and pen and ink, and Ji Xiaotang picked up the pen and smeared it on the rice paper.

Jin'er came to deliver tea, and at a glance she caught a glimpse of Ji Xiaotang's painting.

"Girl, why did you draw a hunter? Who is he? ”

"I want to know too." Ji Xiaotang said this, looking at the portrait he painted, and the guess in his heart was a little more certain.

"In this case, I don't need to go to him to confirm it." Ji Xiaotang muttered to himself.

In the afternoon, the weather was unusually hot, and Ji Xiaotang asked the girls to open the front and rear windows, and there was still no coolness. Ji Xiaotang had no choice but to take the girls to the Ruyi Garden to enjoy the shade.

When I walked to the gate of Ruyi Garden, I saw that the second master of Ji was guarding there.

"Three girls, the guests are in the garden." The little guy came forward to salute and said respectfully.

"Where are the guests in the park?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"In the Flower Hall."
