The first is to ask for pink.

……

Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang went straight to the third floor and asked for a private room, and the two sat down at the window.

Mu Wanjie was a very lively and energetic little chubby dun, he simply knelt on Qi Younian's knees, leaning on the window and looking out.

Ji Xiaotang sat opposite Qi Younian, and Mu Wanjie's chubby noise did not affect the two of them at all.

Looking out from the window on the third floor of the Osmanthus Building, Zhengtiao Yiyi Lane seems to be a long river embellished with splendor.

“…… It was originally called Old Clothes Lane, at that time the alley was much shorter than now, and most of them were shops selling old clothes, and then it became more and more prosperous, and all kinds of shops were available, and it became what it is today, and it was slowly changed to Estimate Clothes Lane......" Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang the allusions he specially inquired about.

Ji Xiaotang listened with relish while watching the scene.

There are small servants in the osmanthus building who come to serve diligently.

Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian were not familiar with Osmanthus Building, so they asked Mu Wanjie.

"What you want to eat, Xiaojie is in charge." Qi Younian said, "Today, Uncle Ayou is the east, and Xiaojie is a point." Order what you and Sister Xiaotang love to eat. ”

"Really, Uncle Ayou, whatever I order, as much as I want?" Mu Wanjie's eyes widened and he said.

Mu Wanjie is the grandson of the Mu family, and he is naturally spoiled by the Mu family. Although this is the case, he is a child after all, and it is never his turn to call the shots when he comes out to order food in a restaurant.

Uncle Ayou spoke, but Xiaojie still didn't believe it. It's all up to you, naturally. Qi Younian said with a smile, looking at Ji Xiaotang at the same time.

Ji Xiaotang smiled but did not speak.

Mu Wanjie is young and pampered, but his tutoring is excellent. Although Qi Younian said this, he didn't really order food as he wanted, but said what he thought was delicious and discussed it with Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian.

"The osmanthus duck here is the best......" Mu Wanjie said, obviously this is the most favorite of the dishes he just said.

Qi Younian naturally followed Mu Wanjie, and asked Ji Xiaotang again, and actually ordered a table of dim sum and dishes.

"I can't eat it when I order so much." Ji Xiaotang said.

Ji Xiaotang was actually a little worried about Qi Younian's purse. Qi Younian is now a deputy Qianhu, and he is an official position from Wupin, and he gets no more or less official salary. But Ji Xiaotang heard Mu Hong say that Qi Younian was not careless about money, and he was generous to people, especially his colleagues, and he was quite generous.

Although this is the case, it is not seen that Qi Younian is embarrassed. Although it seems that Qi Younian's family background is average.

“…… I haven't eaten it, so I try it all to see which one I like. Qi Younian said, "There is something delicious, let's buy one more and take it back to my aunt and the big guy." ”

Qi Younian was thoughtful.

Ji Xiaotang just said it casually, and didn't say anything more. She came to Fucheng this time, and she brought plenty of money with her. Whether it's Qi You's annual account, or she's account, there's no need to think about it.

"Xiaotang, did you come with your uncle this time to pass the township exam before returning to Qingyuan?" Qi Younian asked Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head.

"After passing the hospital exam, I have to go back, otherwise my family will not worry." This is still the result of fighting with Second Master Ji and Old Lady Ji.

Both the prefectural and hospital exams are held in Fucheng, with the former in April, the latter in June, and the township exam in August this year. has been passing the township test and then going back, which is not bad for Ji Xiaotang and Ji San, but it is not allowed at home.

Originally, Mrs. Ji meant that she wanted Master Ji San to go back after passing the government exam, and come back when the hospital exam came.

It was Ji Xiaotang who told Second Master Ji, Second Master Ji helped, and everyone finally persuaded Old Mrs. Ji. This kind of back and forth is tiring, not only has an impact on Master Ji San's studies, but also is too tiring.

In the end, everyone compromised and went back after passing the hospital exam.

If you take the township test again, you will come back.

Qi Younian nodded.

"Uncle will definitely be able to pass the hospital exam, it just depends on how the township exam goes."

"How can you be so sure?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Oh......" Qi Younian said what was in his heart inadvertently. He wasn't sure, but he wanted it in his heart. In this way, he can have more time to see Ji Xiaotang often.

"I can see it." Asked by Ji Xiaotang, Qi Younian paused, and then said dryly. "Uncle looks like he must be able to go to high school. The Ji family is a scholarly heirloom, and the uncle is naturally not bad. ”

It seems that Qi Younian has also inquired about the Ji family's family history.

"Lend you good words, Ayo." Ji Xiaotang didn't delve into it, of course Master Ji San would have taken the exam, because she knew the exam questions. "In fact, Uncle's knowledge is not very good, it's just that we divination, this year's most beneficial Uncle, no matter what Uncle does, nothing will fail."

"Xiaotang letter divination?" Qi Younian asked.

Does she believe in divination? Ji Xiaotang is hard to say. The ancestors of the Ji family studied the Book of Changes, and those who are good at it are uncertain.

"Does Xiaotang also read the Book of Changes?" Qi Younian was a little surprised.

"Hmm." Ji Xiaotang nodded, she read through the Four Books and Five Classics, because as a woman, she had no pressure from scientific examinations, and she also read many miscellaneous scriptures.

"I also read it, but a lot of places don't make sense." Qi Younian said.

Mu Hong said that Qi Younian is a rare all-round talent in the guard. So Qi Younian said that he read the Book of Changes, and Ji Xiaotang didn't think it was strange.

"Have you ever asked your husband to teach?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"When I was a child, my family invited Xixi and read books for a few years. Later, my father said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, especially since I am a martial artist. Leading troops to fight wars, talking about soldiers on paper misleads others and oneself, and you have to experience on the spot. Qi Younian said very seriously, looking at his demeanor, it seemed that he remembered his relatives and the past.

"Ling Zun has a good insight." Ji Xiaotang said, but he was a little surprised in his heart. It is really rare for an ordinary military household to be able to say such things and make such arrangements for his son.

But Ji Xiaotang didn't think much about it. Who said that only above the temple can there be talents, and there are dragons and phoenixes in the countryside.

"The father is very strict with the child." When Qi Younian said this, he didn't seem to want to say more, but asked Ji Xiaotang, "Xiaotang has been studying with his uncle since he was a child?" ”

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang smiled, "At that time, my father was in office, and his errands were very leisurely, and he didn't have any other hobbies, so he simply taught me as a disciple." ”

"If you have any questions in the future, you can ask Xiaotang for advice!" Qi Younian said immediately, his eyes bent into two crescents and looked at Ji Xiaotang, obviously waiting to say this.

Ji Xiaotang smiled.

"I don't dare to ask for advice." Although he said so, he did not refuse Qi Younian.

Years later, when the two of them think back to the here and now, they barely remember what they had said. It didn't really matter what they said, they remembered that they were all very happy at this time.

Ji Xiaotang temporarily forgot about the things that pressed on her heart at this moment, and Qi Younian also forgot the heavy responsibility he was carrying at this time.

While tasting the dim sum and talking so easily, Ji Xiaotang inadvertently glanced out the window.

At this glance, he froze.

Qi Younian immediately noticed Ji Xiaotang's strange appearance, and while following Ji Xiaotang's gaze, he asked Ji Xiaotang what was wrong.

“…… Did you see an acquaintance? Qi Younian asked.

can't be said to be an acquaintance, but it is the person Ji Xiaotang is looking for.

Just in front of a shop selling baked cakes not far from the osmanthus building, there was a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes. The man was nibbling on the baked cake he had bought, looking around.

That person is none other than Ma Wu.

Ji Xiaotang had never seen Ma Wu, but he knew by heart the description of Master Ji San.

Qi Younian didn't wait for Ji Xiaotang's answer, but his eyes were also locked on the middle-aged man. Qi Younian immediately frowned.

"Xiaotang, that's ...... Ma Wu you are looking for? Ji Xiaotang asked Mu Hong and his son to help find Ma Wu, obviously Qi Younian also knew about it, and remembered Ma Wu's appearance.

"It looks like it, but I'm not sure." Ji Xiaotang said.

Ma Wu was nibbling on the biscuits, slowly moving with the crowd, his eyes still looking around.

"Xiaotang, come back." Qi Younian immediately stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Xiaotang away from the window. "This man doesn't look like an ordinary good citizen. You see him looking around, but he is actually very alert. ”

Qi Younian is used to seeing bandits, and his judgment of this kind of person is very sharp and accurate.

Even so, this person is most likely not Ma Wu.

But Ji Xiaotang couldn't watch this person slip away from his eyes like this. Either way, let's get the people arrested first.

Ji Xiaotang made up her mind, but unfortunately she only had these few people with her. The girls are useless, a few little guys ......

If the other party is Ma Wu, these little guys are not his opponents.

Ji Xiaotang regretted a little and should have brought Master Li out.

Ji Xiaotang's face changed, and he was all looked at by Qi Younian.

"Xiaotang, you sit here and don't move, I'll go and arrest someone for you." Qi Younian said, and got up to bundle his clothes. In order to see Ji Xiaotang today, he deliberately wore a dark casual clothes brocade robe, but he did not bring a waist knife.

But Qi Younian is confident, even if he is bare-handed, he should be able to deal with a Ma Wu.

"I'm from the guard, and I arrested him for questioning, and no one can say anything." Qi Younian said to Ji Xiaotang again.

"Ayo, you're the only one. If it's Ma Wu, he's an outlaw. ”

"Xiaotang, you underestimate me. I've seen a lot of outlaws, not to mention just him, and a few more, I can handle it. Qi Younian showed his white teeth as he said and smiled at Ji Xiaotang.

This smile is full of energy, showing the vigor and self-confidence of young people.

Qi Younian asked Ji Xiaotang not to move, and he didn't take the stairs himself, so he simply jumped directly from the window of the Osmanthus Building.

It was at this time that the mutation took place.

Ma Wu suddenly seemed to have discovered something, threw the baked cake with one hand, and ran away with his legs. At first, Ji Xiaotang thought that he had discovered that Qi Younian was going to be unfavorable to him, but soon Ji Xiaotang found out that this was not the case.

What Ma Wu wanted to escape was not Qi Younian, but another group of people.

Ji Xiaotang glanced at it hurriedly, and only saw two people, who were originally hidden in the crowd, and when they saw that Ma Wu suddenly ran away, these two people chased after them. The hands of the two men were clearly dangling, obviously holding the dick.

This is...... Muhong's men found Ma Wu and are they chasing Ma Wu?

This thought flashed in Ji Xiaotang's mind, and was immediately denied by her. This can't be Mu Hong's people, these two people don't seem to want to capture Ma Wu alive at all, they want Ma Wu's life!

Ji Xiaotang's heart lifted.

Ma Wu stumbled suddenly, almost fell, and covered his waist with one hand. Obviously, Ma Wu was injured, and the injury was not light. No matter how careful he was, he was still approached unconsciously, and he had already been stabbed the moment he sensed the danger.

Thanks to his constant vigilance, that one stab would have killed him. Right in the crowd, unaware.

Ji Xiaotang saw Ma Wu stumbling upstairs and guessed that he was injured. The two people who chased and killed Ma Wu were much closer to Ma Wu than Qi Younian. The two caught up with Ma Wu and fought in one place.

However, Qi Younian was not slow, and soon caught up.

Pedestrians avoided one after another, and several people hit one place.

Ji Xiaotang knew that at this time, not only could she not help, but would distract Qi Younian, so he endured it and did not go downstairs, just sat at the window, and held Mu Wanjie tightly in his arms.

Mu Wanjie didn't know how important things were, but he could see that Qi Younian was fighting to the death.

Mu Wanjie was nervous, but he didn't seem to be worried, more excited. The children of the Mu family are naturally different from the children of ordinary people. Moreover, Mu Wanjie has blind admiration and trust for Qi Younian.

It happened suddenly, and it ended quickly.

Four people, three people fell one after another, and only one person was still standing firmly in the alley.

"Uncle Ayo won." Mu Wanjie immediately applauded.

The person standing was Qi Younian.

Ji Xiaotang watched Qi Younian ask for a rope from the guy in the shop next to him, and tied up the three people on the ground by dividing them by two.

It's a live catch.

Ji Xiaotang was happy in his heart, and immediately took Mu Wanjie and the others down from the upper floor.

Many people in Yiyi Alley, although they were curious, but when they saw such a fight with their own eyes, and heard Qi Younian shouting out the words of the official army to catch the thief, they didn't dare to step forward, but only looked at it from a distance.

Ji Xiaotang easily came to Qi Younian with people.

"Xiaotang, if you have anything to say, it's better to ask quickly." Qi Younian whispered in Ji Xiaotang's ear.

Ji Xiaotang didn't look at the two chasing people, her eyes only fell on Ma Wu, and immediately understood the meaning of Qi Younian's words.

Ma Wu was mortally wounded and did not survive for a moment.

I couldn't take Ma Wu elsewhere, because I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold out there at all, so I could only ask on the spot.

Ji Xiaotang asked Jin'er to take out a large ingot of silver and wrap the whole shop next to him. Mu Hong arrived at this time with people, and it turned out that he also learned of Ma Wu's whereabouts and brought people over, but he was a step late.

Ma Wu was carried to the shop and placed on a board.

"You're Ma Wu?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

Maybe it was a person who was about to die, and knowing that it was useless to hide his identity any longer, Ma Wu actually nodded.

"I am. I recognize you ......" R1152
