Yuan Jiaojiao went to the White Horse Temple, Ji Yanning was not idle, it happened to be the day of rest, she prepared some gifts, and took Ji Lang to Guo's mansion in a carriage.

It has been some time since she arrived in Chang'an, and today is the first time she has visited the mansion of Guo Qichun, the capital transfer envoy.

Thanks to Guo Qichun's help over the years, Baochang Ji has been able to grow so strongly, and she naturally can't underestimate this capital envoy.

The carriage stopped in front of Guo's house, Ji Yanning lifted the curtain and took Ji Lang out of the carriage, the sky was filled with snowflakes, falling on Ji Yanning's shoulders, Ziyu held an umbrella and stepped forward to block the young lady and the young master, the breeze passed by, blowing the hair next to her cheeks, and her face was slightly red.

Guo Funei hurriedly walked out of a small house and stepped forward: "It's Miss Ji and Master Ji, right?"

Ji Yanning bowed slightly: "Yes, I handed over the post a few days ago." ”

The little servant said: "The master is already waiting in the main hall, the girl and the little boy please come with me." ”

"There is labor. ”

Ji Yanning and the others followed the small servant who led the way into the Guo Mansion, compared to other mansions, the Guo Mansion looks a lot simpler, and the transfer envoy is a fat difference in the eyes of everyone, but not everyone is qualified to serve as a servant, if they can't be naked, sooner or later they will be feared by the emperor.

Guo Qichun has been able to be in the Transshipment Division for so many years, which shows Rong Liang's trust in him.

Ji Yanning and Ji Lang came to the main hall, and Guo Qichun was already waiting.

"Master, Miss Ji and Little Master Ji have arrived. The little guy stepped forward to report.

Ji Yanning and Ji Lang stepped forward and saw a man and woman in their forties sitting on the right seat, thinking that it was Guo Qichun and his wife Lin, and the two sisters and brothers stepped forward to salute.

"Yan Ning has seen Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo. ”

"Ji Lang has seen Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo. ”

Guo Qichun looked at the two sisters and brothers, there was a little appreciation in his eyes, and he said, "Don't be polite, sit down." ”

The siblings sat on chairs beside them.

Ji Yanning said: "We have been in Chang'an for a while, and we only came to visit today, and I hope that my uncle will forgive us." ”

Guo Qichun said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not too free these days, and now it's almost the end of the year, and there are a lot of affairs in Yuncao, and today is also busy." I heard from your uncle that Ji Lang went to the Egret Academy, and he also won the favor of Mr. Jingyuan, so he studied in the Egret Academy and had a worry-free future in the future. ”

Ji Yanning said: "It's not favored, but Mr. Jingyuan asked a few words, and it shouldn't be a problem." ”

Guo Qichun said: "Even the official eunuchs in Chang'an may not be able to enter the Egret Academy, and Ah Lang is already good." ”

"Borrowing my uncle's auspicious words, the little nephew will work hard. Ji Lang said.

Ji Lang is only seven years old, but the steadiness between words and deeds has to make Guo Qichun sigh that his parents died early, and the life of this sister and brother is not easy to think about, so they will be so mature.

Mrs. Guo said: "I met Yan Ning once when I was young, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, she has become a slim girl, and she is almost in time, right?"

Ji Yanning said: "In more than three months, it will be fifteen." ”

"Half a year older than our family, your uncle has no daughter, if you are free, you can often come to our house to find Xinyue as a companion. Mrs. Guo said, "But that girl is a jumpy character, you don't bother her." ”

"Hmph, when I first came, I heard my mother speak ill of me behind my back, how can anyone talk about their daughter like that. ”

A woman's voice came from outside the hall, Ji Yanning followed the voice and looked over, just in time to see a man and a woman walking in, the same age as her, and it was the woman who spoke, that is, Guo Qichun's daughter Guo Xinyue.

Mrs. Guo laughed: "Look at this girl, it's not what it is." ”

Guo Xinyue said: "Anyway, save me some face in front of the Ji family's sister!"

"This is my son Guo Sheng and daughter Guo Xinyue. Guo Qichun said, "Sheng'er and Yan Ning met when they were young, but you were still young at that time, so you can't remember it." ”

Ji Yanning and Ji Lang stood up and saluted them.

Guo Sheng's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Guo Qichun, but he is a bookish, and he looks weak in writing, but he is not as bold as Guo Qichun.

Guo Xinyue has a lively temperament, and she is very likable at first glance.

Guo Sheng returned the salute and said: "Xinyue is this character, and I have been talking about seeing Sister Ji before." ”

"I didn't expect Sister Ji to be so good-looking, and she felt pleasing to the eye when she looked at it. Guo Xinyue said with a smile.

"Your Aunt Ji is originally a beauty, Yan Ning will naturally not be bad. When Mrs. Guo talked about Liu Xi'er, she couldn't help but sigh, "I just didn't expect that she was still Liu Shilang's sister." ”

Ji Yanning said: "Speaking of this, I have to thank Uncle Guo for his help, otherwise Yan Ning doesn't know when he will be able to recognize his uncle." ”

Guo Qichun waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, when your father saved the old man's life, how can this kind of kindness be forgotten, not to mention that our two families have been friends for many years, your sister and brother are still young, and you should help more." ”

"By the way, Yan Ning also brought some special products from Jiangzhou and gave them to Uncle Guo. Ji Yanning said.

Guo Qichun said: "Don't bother, you can still buy what you want in Chang'an." ”

As a transit envoy, there are not a few people who give him rare treasures on weekdays, but some things are not something that can be taken casually.

Ji Yanning said with a smile: "These things may not be available in Chang'an, they are all local specialties, including pickles from the south of the Yangtze River, rice wine, and cloud tea." It's a common thing in Jiangzhou, it's not worth a few dollars, Yan Ning thought that Uncle Guo probably hadn't returned to Jiangzhou for several years, so he brought these to relieve his uncle's nostalgia, and he didn't know if it was in line with his uncle's mind. ”

Guo Qichun and Mrs. Guo glanced at each other, but they both smiled.

"Okay!" Guo Qichun said with a smile, "When I first came to Chang'an, I especially wanted to eat something from my hometown, and whenever I came back from Jiangzhou, I would always bring some pickles, and I was laughed at by my colleagues, but for me, it was more desirable than the delicacies of the mountains and the sea." ”

This kid has put a lot of thought into it.

Ji Yanning and Ji Lang stayed at Guo's house for most of the day, and they also stayed for dinner, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

When they planned to go back to Liu's house, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Guo Qichun asked Guo Sheng to send their sister and brother back.

In the evening, as soon as the sky darkened, Yuan Jiaojiao had already appeared in Ji Yanning's courtyard.

Seeing Yuan Jiaojiao drinking tea leisurely in her room, Ji Yanning raised her eyebrows: "Why did you come here at this time?"

"Naturally, I came to you and asked for something. Yuan Jiaojiao grinned at her.

Ji Yanning was puzzled: "Don't think I don't know how much windfall you have made recently, not to mention that I have never lost your expenses on weekdays, if you want something, why not buy it yourself?"

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "Don't you have a pharmacy, I just want to get some medicinal herbs." But the shopkeeper said, "I have to ask you about this first." ”

Ji Yanning sighed: "If it is an ordinary medicine, the shopkeeper will not disagree, I am afraid that what you want is not a little, right?"

"Naturally, the more the merrier, there are dozens of ginseng or something, and there can be no less Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus and deer antler velvet. Yuan Jiaojiao said, "Anyway, you have a lot of money and a lot of medicinal materials, so let me get some." ”

Ji Yanning: "......"

She still thinks that these medicinal herbs are the same price as radish greens?

"You don't need any of these herbs. Ji Yanning looked at her, "Are you going to give it to Mrs. Yuan?"

Yuan Jiaojiao, who was seen through her thoughts, nodded generously and said, "I went to the White Horse Temple to see, and I heard that Mrs. Yuan went to the mountains to collect medicine by herself, but I just wanted not to make her work so hard." ”

"Mrs. Yuan can't use so many medicinal materials, but since you are filial, I will show you the way. Ji Yanning said, "In the list I gave you last time, there was an imperial doctor named Ouyang Gong, and he had a lot of precious medicinal materials in his home, many of which were imperial medicinal materials that he stole to pay tribute, which was much better than my small pharmacy." Even if it was stolen, he didn't dare to give it up. ”

Yuan Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Since his things are also unknown, then I'm welcome." ”

She was about to leave when she said that, but Ji Yanning stopped her.

"Wait!"

Yuan Jiaojiao looked back at her in confusion.

Ji Yanning said: "After I succeed, I will divide my points." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao: "......"

Ji Yanning said again: "You be careful, don't be too ostentatious, Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion have been on guard recently." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao snorted softly, then walked out of her room and disappeared into the night.

It snowed all night, and the next day it finally cleared.

The sun was shining on the earth, the air was still cold and swishing, and what was colder than the weather was Duan's flawless complexion.

Rong Che looked at Duan Wufang's dark face, poured him a glass of wine, and said, "It seems that this case is really difficult to handle, but it is difficult for our cold noodle division to be judged, do you want this king to help?"

"Hmph. Duan Wufeng snorted coldly and said, "What is more difficult to deal with than thieves is the group of people who reported the crime. ”

Among the officials who were stolen, none of them could communicate well, and they all said that they had stolen a lot of property, but let them list them specifically or reconcile the account books, and they couldn't shirk it one by one, but many of the things that were stolen were very valuable, so they asked Dali Temple to quickly find the things back.

Can't even tell what was stolen, how can they check?

Early this morning, Ouyang Gong was like this again, saying that a lot of precious medicinal materials were stolen from his home, and asked him to make a list, but he was staggered, no wonder he was angry.

Duan Wufang said: "Recently, I found a batch of treasures that were sold on the black market, but if I asked, I was afraid that no one would recognize those things." ”

Rong Che heard him say this, groaned for a while, and said, "It seems that this thief is quite smart. You said before that he stole the mansion in a disorderly manner, and he couldn't determine the mansion where he started, but now it seems that there is a lot of connection between it, at least among the people who were stolen, there are not many people who dare to tell the truth. In other words, the thief felt that the money of these people was ill-gotten and should be stolen. ”

Duan Wuflaw sneered: "He became a righteous thief, I have to clean up this mess?

He looked up and drank the wine from his glass, his eyes cold.
