When Ji Yan heard Mei Yuning's rhetorical question, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, the hero was short of breath, his calves were weak, and he almost fell.

Mei Yuning obviously didn't expect Ji Yan to have such a big reaction, so she hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Ji Yan settled down and said miserably: "Why don't you celebrate the Qixi Festival with me?" Is there already another appointment? ”

Mei Yuning was still puzzled, she nodded, and said, "Someone has an appointment with me, but what's wrong with this, every year in the past, as long as I was in Beijing, I spent the Qixi Festival with them?" ”

Ji Yan only reacted a little at this time, and hurriedly asked, "They? ”

Mei Yuning said: "Yes, I spent the past years with a few other girls in the Horse Mansion. I was in Beijing this year, and they also asked people to send a message to go together. ”

This time, it was Ji Yan's turn to say that he didn't know why, and said suspiciously: "Why did you celebrate the Qixi Festival together?" Isn't it time to spend time with your loved ones? ”

Mei Yuning then understood, she covered her mouth, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the smile, and when she calmed down her expression, she looked at Ji Yan and asked, "Who did you listen to tell you that the Qixi Festival is like this." ”

Ji Yan thought for a while and said, "The circle of friends, my circle of friends, is like this. ”

Mei Yuning, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "That can only mean that there is a problem with your circle of friends, I hope you can clean yourself." But ......"

However, she spoke with a big gasp, and then took a turn, only to see Mei Yuning's face flushed slightly, and she half-lowered her head and whispered: "I really didn't have much to say to those girls in previous years, but now my father asks to be cautious, maybe it's better to stay away from them......"

Mei Yuning raised her head, looked at Ji Yan, her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth smiled, and said, "Then it's up to you, for the sake of the gift you gave me, I'll see you at the entrance of the Dongcheng Market on the night of Qixi Festival." ”

Ji Yan finally realized what it meant to be overjoyed at this moment, so he almost danced, he was worried that the other party would regret it, and immediately replied: "A word is a certainty, you don't let me go." ”

Mei Yuning smiled: "Don't worry, I will go if I promise." ”

Ji Yan originally planned to continue to discuss with her how to "educate" Ruan Xiaoyi together, but before he could start talking, he saw Mei Yuning's maid coming in a hurry.

The maid glanced at each of them, and said breathlessly: "Someone is talking and coming this way, and the sound sounds like a horse master......"

Mei Yuning was a little surprised and said, "Father found out that I was here?" ”

She thought about it for a while, Ji Yan had come to the front door in the afternoon, so it was not surprising that her father knew.

Mei Yuning thought for a while, and said to Ji Yan: "Although my father didn't stop me from seeing you, my family is currently refusing all visits, so let my father see you, I'm afraid I still have to say something, or you go back first." ”

Ji Yan also felt that it was not a good idea to see Mei Yuma in this situation, so he agreed: "Okay, then I'll go back." ”

Just as he was turning to leave, he remembered something again, turned his head to Mei Yuning and threw a look, and said with a smile: "When the day after tomorrow, I will not see you or disperse." ”

Seeing his strange expression, Mei Yuning couldn't help but smile, covering her mouth with one hand and holding back a smile, and waving her other hand, which was a farewell.

Ji Yan left the Mei Horse Mansion, a big stone in his heart finally landed, and he returned home beautifully, lying on the bed and tossing and turning excitedly, until the second half of the night, he fell asleep in a daze.

But he didn't sleep long, and he didn't sleep deeply.

As soon as it was dawn, he woke up, only sighing that he had to wait another day, and the errand still couldn't be delayed, Ji Yan got up and washed up, sat at home, and waited for Ruan Xiaoyi to come to him.

Although Ruan Xiaoyi's tongue is a little poisonous, he is still reliable, and after a while, he came to knock on the door.

If you want to go on an errand, it is naturally impossible to take your family with you, so Ji Yan and Ruan Xiaoyi walked to Tianxi Temple.

Everything went well, Ji Yan led Ruan Xiaoyi to see Wang Jinghong.

Wang Jinghong asked a few questions, but didn't say more, called a person from the Ministry of Industry, and led Xiaoyi away, leaving a plan.

Ji Yan originally wanted to ask about the specific progress of the renovation of the Tianxi Temple, because he heard Zheng He say yesterday that the progress of the project was slow.

However, Wang Jinghong spoke first, he said: "Last night, Chief Manager Zheng entered the palace overnight to meet him, and he has not come back until this moment. ”

Ji Yan's heart was shocked, and he guessed in his heart: Did Zheng He go to tell Zhu Di that someone in the court was plotting misdeeds? Or maybe Zheng He has already guessed who is behind the scenes?

Wang Jinghong looked at Ji Yan, still smiling, and asked kindly in his usual tone: "Ji Tongyi, do you know what happened to Manager Zheng when he went to see the emperor?" ”

Ji Yan did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "The lower officials don't know." ”

Wang Jinghong paused, turned his head to look out the window, and didn't know whether it was for Ji Yan or his own, and said slowly: "The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, you look at the day of the capital, you can only see a piece of blue from afar, but in fact, I just received an official document, saying that Ningbo was hit by a typhoon, and several treasure ships we docked there were not looked like they were blown by the wind and rain. ”

After that, he looked at Ji Yan and said earnestly: "Ji Tongyi, I believe that you are an understanding person and a smart person, but the more times like this, it may not be a good thing for smart people to think too much. I hope you understand what I'm saying. ”

The meaning of these words is actually very clear, that is, I hope that Ji Yan will not be disturbed by some external factors, and he has two hearts.

However, this is not a problem for Ji Yan at all, because he is from modern times, and he knows that one of the most famous things in this era in later generations is Zheng He's trip to the West, and the best stage for him to get ahead is also to go to the West, so he has never had two hearts.

Except for the lingering nightmare, the dark shadow of that night, but he has been back to China for a long time, and the other party has never looked for him again, maybe he has forgotten himself?

Ji Yan thought a lot in his mind, but he only replied with a simple sentence: "Xia Guan is willing to be an errand wholeheartedly." ”

Wang Jinghong nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal that he could leave.

After Ji Yan retreated and returned to his room, he kept thinking about what Zheng He was doing when he went to see the emperor.

He might not know about it, but he soon learned something else.

That's what Zheng He is going to do after that.

Zheng He returned to Tianxi Temple near noon on July 6.

After he returned to Tianxi Temple, he immediately summoned several core personnel to report, and Ji Yan was also among them, informing that he would immediately set off for Quanzhou, Fujian, accompanied by Wang Jinghong.

Zheng He didn't say what he was going to Quanzhou for, but he looked in a hurry, and asked Wang Jinghong to go with him, obviously the matter was very important.

Ji Yan is not among the same-sex personnel, I don't know if it is because he has just returned from Shandong, or if this matter is not suitable for him to participate, anyway, he is a left-behind person.

The meeting was dispersed, and Ji Yan originally wanted to continue to think about what Zheng He was doing in Fujian, but he didn't have a clue, and thought that Wang Jinghong persuaded him to be an errand wholeheartedly, so he put this matter down and didn't think about it anymore.

No matter how much or how little things happen, the flow of time is actually the same, only people's subjective feelings are different.

For Ji Yan, he waited for a long, long time, and the time finally arrived on the night of the Qixi Festival.

That night, he freshened up early and came to the entrance of the East Market, waiting for his sweetheart to appear.
