Chapter 32: The Dull Boy
Ji Yan looked at Ruan Xiaoyi, who was disappointed in front of him, but he began to feel a little embarrassed, and he became sorry for him.
He thought about it, he was the quasi-family member of the young idol in front of him, and it didn't seem to be too bad, and it was Ruan Zhong who should really be blamed, it must be that he didn't explain his wisdom and martial arts well, so that these adolescent children learned the wrong object and worshiped the wrong idol.
He planned to comfort the lost star-chasing clan in front of him, so he said: "Captain Mei has a very good relationship with me, you quietly do me a favor, I can take you to the capital to meet him." β
Ruan Xiaoyi's eyes glowed again, and he asked, "Really?" Do you have a good relationship with Mei Daying? β
Ji Yan said solemnly: "Yes, we have a good relationship, and we plan to sleep in the same room every day in the future." β
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Also, don't call him Mei Daying, just call him by name, he is relatively low-key, and he doesn't like others to call him so high-profile." β
Ruan Xiaoyi didn't understand the words in Ji Yan's first sentence, but he understood the second sentence, so he said, "Okay, Ji Yan, why are you here in Qingzhou Mansion?" How can you ask me to help? β
Ji Yan choked for a moment, swallowed his saliva, calculated the time, and asked: "Around March this year, have you ever seen any outsiders who came to meet your relatives and friends who ran maritime merchants or something?" β
Ruan Zhong scratched his head for a long time, frowned and thought carefully for a long time, and said a little vaguely: "It shouldn't have been, the purchase of our glaze here has to be regulated, and it is useless for ordinary people to come." β
"Hmmm......"
Ji Yan knew that what Ruan Xiaoyi said made sense, even if it was some glass gadgets that Ruan Zhong and the others sold to North Korea, it was also a franchise, which was half a reward and half business.
He was about to continue to ask where Ruan Zhong and the others were.
But I heard a noise from the direction outside the door, it was still the voice that scared Ruan Xiaoyi before, that is, Song Qingqing, her voice became louder and louder, "Let me in, Ruan Xiaoyi doesn't go to the school, I know to hide here every day." I'm going to have to get him out today. There was also the sound of the apprentice at the door, "Auntie, you can't help it, it's all disheveled craftsmen inside, you can't go in." β
Ruan Xiaoyi heard Song Qingqing's voice, and his body, which was about the same height as Ji Yan, immediately relaxed, a little at a loss.
Seeing him like this, Ji Yan strengthened his idea of not learning kung fu, you see that this Ruan Xiaoyi is tall and big, and he can also punch and kick, and he is not scared when he hears his daughter-in-law coming to find him, so learning martial arts can't stop domestic violence.
Ji Yan said to Ruan Xiaoyi: "It's your fiancΓ©e who came outside, right?" You are inevitably a little too cowardly, besides, this workshop is full of naked men, how can you let her in, I see that you go out and make it clear to her face to face, I will accompany you. β
Ruan Xiaoyi thought about it and felt that what Ji Yan said was indeed reasonable, and he couldn't hide from the posture today, so he had to reluctantly go out of the door, and Ji Yan also followed behind him.
When the two of them walked to the door, Ji Yan found that Song Qingqing didn't take a step into the door at all, but the tone of her speech slowly changed from small to big, making people think that she had walked in.
Song Qingqing is about the same age as Ruan Xiaoyi, also fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looks quite handsome, but his complexion is a little too healthy, and he is not tall, which is a rare phenomenon in Shandong, followed by a maid.
She saw Ruan Xiaoyi coming out, and this time she was really going to enter the door, so she rolled up her sleeves and rushed in.
Ruan Xiaoyi's face was full of disgust, and he said to Song Qingqing: "Didn't I say that I wouldn't let you come here?" Hurry up and leave, I'm not going to the school today, and I'm being scolded again. β
Song Qingqing saw Ruan Xiaoyi speak, but she was no longer excited, and said to Ruan Xiaoyi patiently: "That is already the best school and the best gentleman in our ten miles and eight townships, do you really plan to mess with this guy every day in the future?" β
Ruan Xiaoyi didn't think so, and said: "What's wrong with mixing here, no matter how many books you read, every day is a great mouth, what's the big deal." β
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, and Ji Yan feels that he is standing here in a good manner, and he is inexplicably hit by an arrow.
He decided to step forward to intervene in the family affairs of these two young people, so he said: "I think what Xiaoyi said also has some truth, Master Ziyun, teach students according to their aptitude, and the common people talk about the twisted melon is not sweet, it is the same truth." I think Xiaoyi is serious, loyal and virtuous, and has some chivalrous heart, which is very good. You don't necessarily have to read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but you don't have to. β
Song Qingqing noticed this person standing next to Ruan Xiaoyi, she actually knew in her heart that Ruan Xiaoyi might not be the material for reading, and she shouldn't force him to go to school so much, but he is the only boy in the current generation of the Ruan family, the hope of the family, her unmarried husband, and urging Ruan Xiaoyi is also for her own future, so there is no way.
Although Song Qingqing also agreed with what Ji Yan said, but for a woman, the truth can be lost, but the momentum cannot be lost, she was not timid at all, and asked directly: "Who is the honorable driver?" This is our family matter, so let's go about our own business first. β
Ruan Xiaoyi replied for Ji Yan: "This is Ji Yan, from the capital, my third uncle told me about their arrest of Japanese in Japan in the Ryukyus that day, isn't your family also there?" This is the Ji Tong translator mentioned by the third uncle, and he gave Captain Mei an errand. β
Where is this, Ji Yan regretted a little that he had just spoken for this melon baby......
Song Qingqing's expression softened a little, and said to Ji Yan: "The little woman has heard of Ji Tong's translation of the name, that day you skillfully used a clever plan to capture the Ryukyu Japanese Kou alive, my father listened to it and couldn't stop praising it, saying that he really hoped to meet this resourceful Ji Tong translator one day, but I didn't think that you would come like this, the little woman immediately sent someone to Tong Father, and he must let him entertain you well." β
What he said made Ji Yan want to defect immediately.
Ji Yan wanted to ask Song Qingqing again, he hadn't seen any outsiders around March, but when he thought about it, he couldn't ask anything when he saw how clever she was.
It seems that his private visit to the microserver is coming to an end, and if these multiple errands are done together, it is easy to take care of his head, and he can only catch the ducks on the shelves.
Ji Yan smiled and said, "Then there will be labor." Indeed, I have been given permission to come to the precious land. I was going to sit at the Qinghai Hall later. Why don't I take Xiaoyi in a while, let's see you in Qinghai Hall, how about it? β
Ruan Xiaoyi looked at Ji Yan, then at Song Qingqing, and replied directly: "That's it, it's okay, Song Qingqing, you go home quickly." β
Song Qingqing glanced at Ruan Xiaoyi complainingly, and had to leave.
Ji Yan beckoned Ruan Xiaoyi to sit down in the foyer room, the one who was originally receiving apprentices, seeing that the young master of the owner had already personally negotiated with the merchants, knew that the opportunity to perform was gone, and left in a daze.
Ruan Xiaoyi has a fingertip for marriage.
Ji Yan felt very puzzled, and said in his heart: This routine is not right, I am the one who crosses, shouldn't I be the protagonist? Why did you, a supporting character, find a daughter-in-law before me? Shouldn't all women like me?
He faced Ruan Xiaoyi and said solemnly: "If there is a chance, you can also follow Master Zheng He to the sea like me and Captain Mei, are you willing to go?" β
Ruan Xiaoyi thought for a while, and replied wryly: "Willing is willing, I'm afraid that my family won't let me." β
"You don't have to worry about that, if you want, I'll talk to your parents later."
"That's good, Song Qingqing probably won't agree, you can talk to her too."
Ji Yan began to wonder if this kid was really stupid or pretending, but he had some other questions, so he said solemnly: "I need to ask you some questions next, you have to answer me truthfully, we are going to be selected to be on an errand, and we have to go through this questioning." β
"First of all, you have a lot of money in your family?"
Ruan Xiaoyi modestly touched the back of his head, grinned with his teeth, and said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, it should be enough for me to eat and wear for a few lifetimes." β
"You have a lot of maids at home."
"I can't say a lot, just more than forty people."
"Can you be modest, you have a childhood sweetheart, a pretty and lovely fiancΓ©e, and her net worth is similar to your family."
"It's a tigress, if my father didn't agree, I would have withdrawn this marriage contract a long time ago."
"Your martial arts are not bad"
"It's okay, one or two should be fine."
"You can also sail and fire glass"
"Well, I've been out with the third uncle a few times, I like it a lot, and I've learned a little bit about astronomical water ripples."
Ji Yan stared at Ruan Xiaoyi with wide eyes, and asked seriously: "You tell me the truth, don't fool me." Did you travel from somewhere? β
Ruan Xiaoyi was completely confused: "I don't understand, what is crossing?" I've only been out to sea with my third uncle a few times, and I've never been anywhere else. β
Ji Yan nodded, and said in his heart: Your condition is the treatment that a traverser should have, how can it be like me as soon as I come, I have to work an errand to make money, and I don't have a maid or anything to play with.
The two of them chatted without saying a word, and seeing that it was approaching noon, they asked Ruan Xiaoyi to lead the way and went to the Qinghai Hall.
