Ji Yan is standing in front of Liu Xun's house at the moment, although Liu Xun's family does not live in a particularly good location in the capital, but it is also somewhat more than his income, if it is not for the shadow of his ancestors, it can only show that his old boss is "struggling".

He slammed the door and gave his name inside, and a woman's voice was heard answering the door, and then I heard someone walking quickly to the door.

As soon as the door opened, it turned out to be a woman about the same age as Liu Xun, who looked very pampered, but there was no one in the family, so she had to come out and open the door by herself.

It is estimated that it is Liu Xun's wife, Ji Yan hurriedly introduced himself, saying that he came to visit Lord Liu Xun.

He couldn't figure out Liu Xun's intention of inviting him, and he didn't have any friendship with Liu Xun, so he came directly empty-handed.

The lady obviously knew that Ji Yan was coming to visit, so she was busy taking care of Ji Yan and entering the door, saying that Liu Xun was preparing a meal in the back hall, and then personally led Ji Yan into the house and sat down, and went to call Liu Xun.

Liu Xun's house is in a good location, but it is very simple, or it can be said to be simple, and many things are not very aligned when they look placed, and it seems that they have just lived in it for a long time.

Liu Xun turned over from the back room, brought a pot of tea, poured tea for Ji Yan, and after a while, the meal began to be served.

Ji Yan originally thought that this was a "Hongmen banquet", but he didn't expect it to be a real family banquet, and it was a very simple family banquet, most of the meals were cleaned up by themselves, and he and Liu Xun sat down at the dinner table, Liu Xun also talked about some family affairs, what his ancestors did, and his son was on an errand in the military department.

Don't talk about how the meal is, Ji Yan is a little embarrassed to eat this meal, he patronized and pondered the meaning of this meal, but he didn't taste anything, Liu Xun behaved very naturally, eating and drinking, smiling all the way, and told a few jokes to try to amuse Ji Yan.

So much so that Ji Yan was a little confused, was he wrong when he just came through the soul, in fact, the original Ji Yan had a good relationship with Liu Xun?

The meal was eaten like this, Ji Yan really felt bored, so he said that he had eaten well and planned to go back, Liu Xun looked embarrassed, saying that his family had just moved over not long ago, and he was not too ready, and he was wronged Ji Yan.

Ji Yan waved his hand, only said that it was too polite, and got up to leave.

Ji Yan walked in front, Liu Xun also followed behind to see off the guests, and when he arrived at the door, Ji Yan first looked around and saw that there was no one else.

He thought to himself that it was better to change from passive to active, so he directly asked in a low voice: "What is the situation of the errand I received at night in February?" ”

Liu Xun was a little embarrassed, he invited Ji Yan to come to the house tonight, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to ask, so he could only tell the truth: "I'm just running an errand online, I didn't receive the order from above, and I don't know anything." ”

Ji Yan looked at Liu Xun a little dissatisfied, and said, "At least you know who the owner of this errand is." ”

Liu Xun's face was immediately frightened, he waved his hand in a panic, and said nervously: "I don't know, don't talk nonsense, I never said I knew." ”

After that, it is estimated that he also realized that Ji Yan would not be satisfied with this answer, he actually had a request for Ji Yan tonight, so he continued: "You have made a great contribution, and now you are a celebrity in front of Lord Zheng, it is estimated that you will know soon." ”

Ji Yan knew that he couldn't tell himself, so he planned to raise his hand to say goodbye and end this inexplicable visit.

As a result, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Liu Xun's hand, only to see Liu Xun saying wait first, and at the same time took out a small bag from his arms, and was about to stuff it to Ji Yan.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xun mentioned his son, saying that his son is now working on an errand in the Ministry of War, but he made a mistake, although he sold his ancestral house, and worked up and down for a long time, his life and errand were saved, but it was difficult to have any future.

It was only now that Ji Yan finally understood the reason for this meal.

He was vague for a while, and then hurriedly got rid of Liu Xun, and left the door of Liu Xun's house as if he was running away, and when he walked more than ten zhang away, he stopped, turned around and looked at the direction of Liu Xun's house, was stunned for a while, and then sighed and left.

Tonight's Ji Yan saw Liu Xun's other identity.

A father.

At Liu Xun's house, Ji Yan can be said to have eaten the most inexplicable meal in the Ming Dynasty, but when he left, he finally understood that Liu Xun was just an ordinary person, an ordinary father, who wanted to do something for his children.

On the way home, Ji Yan has been trying to recall, trying to remember some information about his parents, but he can't think of anything in his head, he can remember some things that happened before, some things he has seen, but he can't remember that he had a family in his previous life, and in his mind, it seems that he will always be accompanied by a deep loneliness.

He felt the existence of his family most deeply, when he went to Mei Yuma's Mansion as a guest, although the horse and the princess were still wary of him, but Ji Yan looked at their conversation with Mei Yuning, and really realized a word, and he was happy.

On the second day, Ji Yan deliberately went out early, and went to the Horse Mansion first, planning to ask Mei Yuning when he had time, go to his new home to have a look, and help him identify a few pieces of furniture by the way.

As a result, a person dressed as a maid came out of the Horse Mansion, she first said that she was the lady's maid, and then quietly said to Ji Yan, Mei Yuning is now going out on an errand, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to come back.

Mei Yuning, the errand of the Fusi of Nanzhen, is quite dedicated.

Just a few days later, Ji Yan's house also finished moving, although he didn't particularly understand the drawings of the Ministry of Engineering, but he estimated that it would not be the point, otherwise Zheng He would arrange for the people from the Ministry of Engineering to go to Shandong, so Zheng He mainly hoped that he would investigate, and he could not delay it forever, so he said to Wang Jinghong and set a boat to go north on the second day.

Before he left, he went to the Horse Mansion again, but Mei Yuning still didn't come back, so Ji Yan had to tell Mei Yuning's maid that he would take a boat at the Yangtze River Wharf early tomorrow morning and go to the field on an errand. The maid wrote it down, and promised that she would be notified as soon as the young lady returned.

Early the next morning.

Ji Yan decided to take a boat to go north along the canal first, wait until the canal is not passable, and then turn to the land, mainly because of anything else, the weather in June is too hot and scorching, and the sun is rushing, which is going to kill people.

It was his plan to go down the Yangtze River to Zhenjiang first, and then change ships in Zhenjiang and go north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

I thought I would see Mei Yuning at the wharf of the Yangtze River, but until the boat left, no one came, so he couldn't continue to wait here, so he had to turn around and get on the boat in three steps.

The boat was on the Yangtze River, and as soon as it left the capital, Ji Yan's eyes widened, because he saw Mei Yuning standing on the shore on horseback, dusty, and his hair was not tied well, obviously in a hurry.

The Yangtze River is a big river, and Ji Yan is also on a sand boat carrying more than a dozen people, so it is naturally impossible to dock casually, so the two can only look at each other from a distance, which is very similar to some vulgar idol dramas.

Ji Yan was stunned for a while, feeling that his entire mind had been hollowed out.

At this moment, he really wanted to be like those romance movies, immediately jumped off the boat, swam ashore, and never went anywhere.

I don't know when this parting will be next time.

After all, the ship did not stop, and it didn't take long for each other to disappear from each other's sight.
