Chapter 217: Linglong
"Familiar? How can I say this, we are still acquaintances with him, after all, the last time he came to Qingyuan, it was good to come with us. ”
"I don't mean last time, Uncle will think a little further."
"Further, I don't know him. Xiaotang, did you know him before? Which one is that followed the second brother and second sister-in-law? Master Ji San asked.
"No, not that far. Uncle, think about it, on Qingxi Mountain, you fell into the trap that time. Ji Xiaotang gave Ji San a hint again.
"Oh, that time, ......" Master Ji San showed a contemplative expression, but obviously didn't think of anything related to Han Zhen.
"It's the hunter who led people to save us on the mountain. Uncle, you have a good memory, Han Zhen and that Orion ......" Ji Xiaotang had no choice but to say again.
"Han Zhen and the Orion who saved us?" Master Ji San finally knew what Ji Xiaotang was talking about, "These two, they don't have to do anything." ”
In order to participate in the scientific examination, although it is said that it is a grinding gun, it always has some effect, compared to the past, he is already very good at using these idioms that seem to him to be very vivid and interesting.
"I didn't think so, but I just ......"
Just now, Han Zhen stood in front of the blessed land of the Ji family, Second Master Ji accompanied him to talk, and Ji Xiaotang stood in the back. For a moment, he felt that Han Zhen's back was unexpectedly familiar.
Looking at Han Zhen's back, Ji Xiaotang suddenly thought of the hunter who saved them.
Han Zhen and the hunter who rescued them were dressed differently, but their body size was the same. He is tall and tall, with long hands and long legs.
"Speaking of which, I saw him for the first time in the county office. It somehow feels familiar. It's just that I really didn't think about the Orion at the time. Ji Xiaotang was almost talking to himself.
When Master Ji heard Ji Xiaotang say this, he was also trying to search for his memories. Unfortunately, he lost too much blood at that time, and he was not impressed by the few people who saved him.
Even so, he still remembered the face of the leader of the hunter.
"But they don't look like each other at all." That Orion is black and red in the sun all year round, and Han Zhen is obviously pampered. Even if it is a little harder to go out of Beijing, his face is very different from that of Orion. And not only the complexion, but also the facial features of the two people are not the same.
"At that time he was dressed as a hunter. The face should have been made of hands and feet. Ji Xiaotang said slowly while thinking. The same person, plus different sideburns, plus a change in beard. If not very familiar. It looks like two people.
Because Han Zhen's back made her suspicious, Ji Xiaotang later observed Han Zhen very carefully.
I don't dare to say anything else, but the nose and eyes of these two people are the same. Especially the eyes ......"
At that time, the eyes of that Orion had left a deep impression on Ji Xiaotang, and it was by no means a pair of eyes that would grow on ordinary Orions.
"Moreover, there is also Long Yanxiang."
Han Zhen, like that Orion, was smoked with Long Yanxiang. Even Long Yanxiang is different because of the different processing methods and ingredients added by different craftsmen. There will also be subtle differences in the aroma.
Han Zhen and the dragon Yanxiang on that Orion were exactly the same kind.
"Xiaotang. Are you sure? Ji Xiaotang said it so accurately, Master Ji San couldn't help but believe it a little.
was asked by Master Ji San, Ji Xiaotang was a little entangled.
Han Zhen is too similar to that Orion, especially the suspicions on that Orion, which suddenly popped up, and suddenly the news disappeared, if it was Han Zhen, then there would be an explanation.
However, even so, Ji Xiaotang could not arbitrarily say that Han Zhen was the hunter.
"Seven or eight times out of ten." Ji Xiaotang said cautiously.
"In that case, you can only ask him to confirm it in person." Master Ji San thought about it.
That's right, it's the only way.
"I'll try." Ji Xiaotang nodded.
Before Ji Xiaotang could find a chance to verify with Han Zhen, Xie Huaijin came to the door.
Xie Huaijin now comes to see Second Master Ji every few days, shows his new article to Second Master Ji, and then goes to the back to see Second Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang. It's the same this time.
Because of Ji Xiaoyun's matter and Han Zhen's arrival, Second Master Ji was not as free as usual, but he still welcomed Xie Huaijin to the study to talk as before.
Ji Er told Xie Huaijin that the article was left and asked Xie Huaijin to come back in a few days.
Xie Huaijin knew that Master Ji was busy and couldn't spare time to read his articles for the time being.
"Uncle Ji is busy with business, and I'm not in a hurry with this article." Xie Huaijin said this, and proposed to ask Mrs. Ji Er to say goodbye.
Asking Mrs. Ji for peace is still secondary, the main thing is to see Ji Xiaotang.
How did Second Master Ji not know Xie Huaijin's thoughts, smiled slightly, and let the little girl lead Xie Huaijin to the backyard.
Xie Huaijin saw Ji Xiaotang in the house of Second Mrs. Ji.
Second Mrs. Ji said a few words to Xie Huaijin, and was invited by the two daughters-in-law in charge to the front to deal with things, leaving Ji Xiaotang to talk to Xie Huaijin.
"Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie have been doing well lately." Ji Xiaotang asked the girl to bring up two fruits that Xie Huaijin loved to eat, and asked Xie Huaijin.
Xie Huaijin told Ji Xiaotang that Xie Zhixian and Mrs. Xie were very good.
"Because of the drought, my father has been very busy lately, and he is also worried, and he often goes to the countryside, and even when he comes back, he rarely rests, and sometimes he doesn't sleep all night."
Xie Zhixian has always been diligent in political affairs, and Ji Xiaotang can imagine his busyness and worry at this time.
"Uncle Xie has worked hard. My father and uncle were also worried about what happened in Zhuangzi. Ji Xiaotang said.
The two of them talked for a while, and Xie Huaijin asked about Ji Xiaoyun again. When Ji Xiaoyun came back from Huaiyuan, the Xie family knew it as soon as possible. Mrs. Xie was originally going to visit, but was stopped by Mrs. Ji Er, saying that she wanted to wait for Ji Xiaoyun to get better.
Ji Xiaoyun's current appearance is not suitable for seeing outsiders at all.
"My sister is unladylike." Ji Xiaotang told Xie Huaijin that Ji Xiaoyun still needed to recuperate for a few days.
Xie Huaijin vaguely guessed something. Seeing that Ji Xiaotang was reluctant to say, he stopped asking.
"Xiaotang, is there a guest at home?" Xie Huaijin moved slightly in his chair. There seems to be some uneasiness.
"What did Brother Huai Jin see?" Ji Xiaotang asked. At this time, Xie Huaijin should not meet Han Zhen. Moreover, she asked Mama Cheng to arrange it personally, Xie Huaijin should not see that the Ji family is coming.
"No, no." Xie Huaijin hurriedly said, "I'm just asking." ”
Saying this, Xie Huaijin glanced at Ji Xiaotang quickly.
"Oh......" Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyes. After a little hesitation, he raised his eyes again and looked at Xie Huaijin, "There are indeed guests at home." It's just that the guest told him that he didn't want people to know his whereabouts. ”
"Xiaotang ......" Xie Huaijin's face was slightly red.
It wasn't that he was embarrassed to ask something he shouldn't ask, but he was happy in his heart. It was clear that he wanted to hide people's affairs, but Ji Xiaotang refused to hide it from him.
"Brother Huaijin. It doesn't hurt for me to sue you. Ji Xiaotang lowered his voice. "It's the noble man I once met at Huaijin's brother's house." ”
"Ahh Xie Huaijin was taken aback.
Ji Xiaotang hurriedly sighed, telling Xie Huaijin not to show his whereabouts.
Xie Huaijin hurriedly restrained the look on his face and nodded to Ji Xiaotang again and again.
"Xiaotang, I saved it."
Xie Huaijin knew that Han Zhen was in the Ji family, so he understood the reason why Second Master Ji was not idle, and although he was reluctant to Ji Xiaotang at the moment, he still got up and said goodbye.
Ji Xiaotang sent Xie Huaijin to the door of Mrs. Ji's second wife. watched Xie Huaijin walk away before returning to the room.
Soon. Master Ji San came.
"Xiaotang, you told Xie Huaijin about Han Zhen here." As soon as he entered the door, Master Ji San asked Ji Xiaotang.
"How does Uncle know?" Ji Xiaotang asked, Xie Huaijin is by no means a person who talks much, and he knows that the matter is important, so he will not say it as soon as he turns his head.
"He didn't say anything, I met him head-on and saw it." Xie Huaijin left too quickly, his expression was different from usual, Master Ji San was suspicious, and after a few tests, he guessed.
"Xiaotang, did you really say it?" Master Ji San was still suspicious, but when he saw Ji Xiaotang like this, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
"Hmm." Ji Xiaotang did not deny it.
"Xiaotang!" Master Ji San couldn't bear to count Ji Xiaotang, but his eyes and tone expressed his strong disapproval. Xie Huaijin knows, which means that Xie Zhixian knows. Not to mention their current precautions against Xie Zhixian, Han Zhen also made it clear that he didn't want Xie Zhixian to know about his coming to Qingyuan.
"Uncle, can such a guest come to our house, can you really hide Uncle Xie's eyeliner?" Ji Xiaotang said lightly.
If Xie Zhixian really didn't know anything, then he had also been an official in Qingyuan for a few years in vain.
"Oh......" Master Ji San paused. Xiaotang, what do you mean......"
"Uncle, what I mean is very simple, every qiē is for the good of our Ji family!" All of them are for their family to survive the next natural and man-made disasters, and to live well.
Master Ji San couldn't refute Ji Xiaotang's words.
"Xiaotang, I understand." Master Ji San said slowly.
"Uncle, if we want to live, we still have to rely on ourselves." Ji Xiaotang saw that Master Ji San understood, so he said softly again.
No matter what Han Zhen's purpose is, Ji Xiaotang just wants to stabilize the situation and stabilize that person at the moment. Because if this can't happen, then the Ji family will bear the brunt and stand on the cusp of the knife.
In a big family, there will always be people who get hurt. This is what Ji Xiaotang doesn't want to see anyway.
……
Xie Huaijin left the Ji family in a hurry, happy in his heart, but also a little worried at the same time. Xie Huaijin was happy that Ji Xiaotang didn't hide such an important matter from him, and he was worried about the arrival of that distinguished guest.
Xie Huaijin didn't know the true identity of that distinguished guest, but he could guess that he must be extraordinary.
This time he came to Qingyuan twice, and he still acted like this, Xie Huaijin couldn't help but worry.
Is there something big going to happen in Qingyuan? If something big happens in Qingyuan, then his family will bear the brunt, and seeing that nobleman's attention to the Ji family, the Ji family can't stay out of it.
Xie Huaijin can not worry about anything else, but he can't let go of this matter in his heart.
Thinking all the way, Xie Huaijin soon returned to the county office, and as soon as he stepped into the door of the back office, a small servant came and asked him to go to the study. Xie Zhixian was waiting for him in the study.
Xie Zhixian went out early in the morning, and before he went out, he knew that he was going to Ji's house today. In fact, it was Xie Zhixian who arranged extra homework for him in the past two days, reminding him that he should go to Ji's house to take a look, and ask Ji Xiaoyun about his situation by the way.
When he went out in the morning, Xie Zhixian also called him to him, and specially instructed him, saying that someone had told him that the Ji family had a young guest.
"Your relationship with Xiaotang has not been settled for a long time, and I am always not at ease." Xie Zhixian said this meaningfully, patted him on the shoulder, and walked first.
This sentence is exactly what he is thinking. Therefore, after he was in Xie Zhi County, he went to Ji's house in a hurry. When he saw Ji Xiaotang, although he didn't see any guests in the Ji family, he still asked that sentence.
Ji Xiaotang's honest words made Xie Huaijin feel relieved.
In the Houya study, Xie Zhixian was sitting on the table, and the official uniform on his body had not yet had time to be changed, obviously just coming back. Xie Huaijin stepped into the door, and Xie Zhixian's eyes fell on Xie Huaijin's face, refusing to let go of the slightest change in the emotion on Xie Huaijin's face.
Xie Huaijin's temperament is more like Mrs. Xie, and she is not good at hiding her heart. And Xie Zhixian knows his son very well.
Xie Huaijin was very happy, every time he came back from the Ji family and saw Ji Xiaotang, he was like this, and it could last for several days. But today, Xie Huaijin seems to be a little worried in addition to being happy.
Xie Zhixian asked Xie Huaijin to sit down and asked him about his situation in Ji's house. Slowly, Xie Zhixian naturally led the topic to the Ji family's visitor.
Of course, Xie Zhixian would not understand and ask, but Xie Huaijin naturally understood.
Xie Huaijin was a little entangled.
"Father, in addition to the drought in the county recently, have there been other accidents?" Xie Huaijin asked suddenly.
"Why do you ask that?" Xie Zhixian immediately became alert, but on the surface, he was silent.
"No, nothing." Xie Huaijin subconsciously avoided Xie Zhixian's gaze.
"What did you hear?" Xie Zhixian said slowly, looking at Xie Huaijin, "...... Both the north and the south have suffered disasters, and now the court is faint, and the traitors are in charge, I wrote a book a while ago, saying that the drought in Qingyuan is only afraid that it is very unpleasant, and it may anger which ...... above, you and your mother must have a psychological preparation......"
"So strict?" Xie Huaijin exclaimed.
"Don't sue your mother. Usually I don't want to talk about these things, for fear that you will worry about it. Xie Zhixian said.
"Father, today at Xiaotang's house, Xiaotang told me something."
"What's the matter?" Xie Zhixian asked a little eagerly, but Xie Huaijin was so preoccupied at the moment that he didn't notice it at all.
"Xiaotang sues me, and you must not sue others."
"Your mother and I are naturally no one else. Xiaotang's kid is very clever, I'm afraid I want you to sue us. Xie Zhixian said with a smile.
When Xie Huaijin heard it, what Xie Zhixian said really made sense, and his heart was even more relieved.
"Xiaotang sues me ......" Xie Huaijin said so, and finally instructed Xie Zhixian, "Father has a number in his heart, tens of millions of ......" (to be continued......)
