Ji Yan led Ruan Xiaoyi and Song Qingqing into the back room first.

His house is very simple, except for Mei Yuning, who has come a few times occasionally, basically no one visits, so it is just a simple table, chair and bench.

The three of them sat around a square table, and there was a silence that made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Ji Yan couldn't help but glance at Ruan Xiaoyi, hoping that he could give him some hints.

What exactly is this situation and how to proceed from here.

Who knew that Ruan Xiaoyi, the kid, had been lowering his eyebrows and drooping his eyes since he entered Ji Yan's house.

I don't know if I feel a little embarrassed that the family matter is here for Ji Yan, or if everything is gone.

Anyway, Ruan Xiaoyi lowered his head, didn't say a word, and didn't see Ji Yan's eyes.

Ji Yan decided to break the silence first, after all, it was in his own home, and he still had to sleep.

He could only comfort Song Qingqing first, pretending to be a confidant big brother, and enlightened her: "Xiaoyi mentioned this matter to me in the afternoon, let him go home first and discuss it with you, it is also my idea." This going to sea is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the husband pursues meritorious service and fame all his life. You are the wife of the main room that he is marrying, in fact, this main room has a responsibility to support her husband's ambitions. ”

Song Qingqing had already stopped crying since she entered the back room, and she quietly listened to Ji Yan.

I only heard her continue: "Brother Ji, what you said is reasonable, and I am not the unreasonable shrew, but the matter of going to sea is too dangerous." I heard from my family that the wind and waves at sea change three times a day, unpredictable, and dangerous. And I don't know what year and month I will be able to go back, so I really can't rest assured. ”

Ji Yan couldn't help but think in his heart: What Song Qingqing said is actually quite reasonable.

But she just spoke too reasonably, so she was very afraid to talk to her.

He sometimes has a headache to talk to Ruan Xiaoyi, but in comparison, Ji Yan is actually more afraid of talking to Ruan Xiaoyi's daughter-in-law Song Qingqing.

The main thing is that she thinks too clearly, too smartly, and makes too much sense.

She shouldn't be called Song Qingqing, she should be called "Song Dadao".

For this kind of woman.

Men generally praise and give thumbs up.

But in private, you can hide as far as you can, and then stay away.

In fact, Ji Yan is not exempt from vulgarity.

This is the same as Huang Rong, except for Guo Jing, it is estimated that few people like to deal with Huang Rong, and ordinary men should be able to hide as far as they can from her.

However, the most regrettable thing about this "Huang Rong" in front of her is that his "Guo Jing" Ruan Xiaoyi is also so cold to her, or has feelings in his heart, but he has never expressed it.

If you don't understand the difference, think about it.

Why is Huang Rong written in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" so cute and so likeable.

Because it was from Guo Jing's point of view, in addition to the Xi Shi in the eyes of the lover, Huang Rong's tricks and that clever mouth, many of them were for Guo Jing's head, of course, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.

Why is Huang Rong in "The Condor Heroes" so boring and unlikeable.

Because it was from Yang Guo's point of view, in addition to the congenital hatred of his father, Huang Rong's same tricks and the same clever mouth were aimed at herself everywhere, of course, the more she looked at it, the more annoying she became.

Ji Yan thought about it, after going to sea, everything was too unknown, and he actually didn't have anyone he trusted too much except Mei Yuning.

During his trip to Japan last year, he had a bad time with other interpreters.

So I still hope to have Ruan Xiaoyi, a little brother, to help.

After thinking about it, Ji Yan decided to make a big move, and said: "But good men are ambitious, and I heard that some birds can never be stopped, because every feather of them is stained with the brilliance of freedom. You can't keep him in the house. After going to sea, don't worry, I will watch him for you, and I will never let him mess with flowers and grass outside, nor will I let him get involved in danger. ”

After hearing this, Song Qingqing also lowered his head halfway, and didn't say anything for a while.

Ji Yan felt that he was almost done with his words, he had said everything that should be said, and he didn't know what else he could continue to do to help his little brother.

There was silence again.

Ji Yan stood up, thinking about dissipating the frozen air a little by pouring a glass of water for the two of them.

Who would have thought that as soon as Ji Yan got up and left the table, Ruan Xiaoyi also stood up suddenly.

He first bowed twice to his wife, Song Qingqing.

Then Ruan Xiaoyi stood up and said: "I know that I don't treat you very well on weekdays, and I haven't taken much care of you, these you, but ......"

Ruan Xiaoyi turned his head and glanced at Ji Yan.

Ji Yan was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know if he should avoid this kind of conversation between husband and wife.

Ruan Xiaoyi turned his head again, looked at Song Qingqing and said, "But don't worry, no matter where I am, since I was a child, until now, I have always had you in my heart." ”

Ji Yan hurriedly took over the words and said, "I am a witness, I brought him to the capital last year, and he didn't know how many times he talked to you along the way." ”

This is naturally nonsense, Ji Yan just thinks that now is a good time, and hopes that the two of them will quickly release their suspicions and do what they should do when they go home.

Don't continue to sleep in your own home.

Ruan Xiaoyi and Song Qingqing both turned their heads at the same time, with the same eyes and gaze, and they both glanced at Ji Yan's light bulb with disgust.

This time, Ji Yan knew what he should do.

He closed his mouth and quietly went outside, closing the door outside.

I only listened to the whispers of the two warblers in the house, and said about a stick of incense.

The door to the back room opened.

Ruan Xiaoyi was in front, Song Qingqing was behind, and the two of them left the house one after the other.

Although Song Qingqing's face still had tear stains, the corners of her mouth were happily raised.

The bell must be tied to the bell, and after all, the matter of the two has to be solved by themselves.

Ruan Xiaoyi looked at Ji Yan and said, "We won't bother you, she also agreed to let me go to sea, tomorrow, Brother Ji, you go and help me talk to Lord Wang." ”

This is the first time that Ruan Xiaoyi has called himself "Big Brother Ji".

Ji Yan felt very comfortable listening to it.

I fell in love for a year and was still a virgin, and I found a little brother for a year before I heard a "big brother" for the first time.

This efficiency is no one.

After sending the two away, Ji Yan was sleepy, feeling that this long day was finally over, and then he slept directly with his clothes.

The next day, Ji Yan went to Tianxi Temple and found Wang Jinghong and discussed with him that he wanted to take a little brother to the sea together.

Wang Jinghong was very good at talking, and he agreed directly.

After all, there are some craftsmen in this fleet.

For example, tea, ceramics, and silk are the three most famous and popular commodities in China, and there are some corresponding craftsmen in the fleet.

Although the glaze craftsman was not in the original plan, there were more or less one or two people, and it made no difference to such a large fleet.

The reason why there are these craftsmen and the like is accompanied is because of this consideration.

During the Taizu period of the Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty tried its best to restore the Han culture that had been assimilated by foreign nationalities in terms of culture and living habits.

By now, during the Yongle period, this goal has been basically achieved.

So now the elite of the Ming Dynasty has a new idea, that is, to take the initiative to spread all these things such as Han culture and lifestyle.

The battle of culture has changed from passive defense to active attack.

However, since this was the first time to go to sea, they were not sure about the specific situation overseas, so they only brought a small number of craftsmen with them this time.

After completing this matter, Ji Yan completely lost his mind in the capital and was ready to set off for Taicang.

He instructed Ruan Xiaoyi to set off with the team in Tianxi Temple.

He quietly went to find Mei Yuning and wanted to go with her.
