Seeing An and Liu Changyuan caring about him so much, Ji Yanning's heart was filled with warmth.

She stepped forward and grabbed An's arm, and said with a coquettish smile: "Uncle and cousin don't have to worry so much, I have so many guards, it will be fine." But some people are thinking about it, and they feel very happy!"

"You, it's better to be careful!" An Shi looked at her little daughter's attitude, and his heart was even more loving.

The Ji family sisters and brothers' parents died early, and they had to be more mature than ordinary people, which made people feel sorry, and even the little care moved her, which was really pitiful.

Liu Changyuan said: "My cousin has worked hard all the way, and my grandfather is still waiting in the front hall. ”

Ji Yanning was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect Liu Yuan to be waiting for her, for this grandfather, she has always only asked for courtesy for a few weeks, but she doesn't have much true feelings.

Treat others as they treat themselves, and treat them as they are, this is Ji Yanning's way of life.

Ji Yanning followed An's and them into the Liu Mansion, went to the main hall first, and sure enough, he saw Liu Yuan sitting on the main seat waiting.

She stepped forward and saluted him respectfully: "Grandfather, Yan Ning is back." ”

Liu Yuan raised his eyes to look at Ji Yanning who was standing in front of him, and his attitude towards her was much gentler.

He said: "No need to be polite, I already know a lot about your return to Jiangzhou this time, and the governor of Jiangnan has a good impression of you and praises you a lot." ”

Ji Yanning lowered his eyes, bowed his head and said, "It's Governor Han who has won the award." ”

Liu Yuan looked at Ji Yanning's humble appearance, and he was a little satisfied in his heart, although he didn't like Ji Yanning to be born in a business, but Ji Yanning's sisters and brothers were so smart, and he was also relieved in his heart.

It's just because of Xi'er's matter, everyone has a knot in their hearts, and Ji Yanning's attitude towards him is lukewarm, although there is a lot of courtesy, there is always a sense of alienation.

"I heard you're injured, but does it matter?" asked Liu.

Ji Yanning replied: "It's not a big deal, it's okay, thank you grandfather for your concern." ”

She still has a shallow scar on her forehead, and there are too many things to deal with when she is in Jiangzhou, so she just applies a general scar removal cream, and the recovery is not fast, and after some time, she should be able to recover as before.

Now, if you don't look closely, you can't see the scar on her forehead.

Liu Yuan listened to Ji Yanning's words, nodded, and said, "You are still young, if you can't handle many business things, you don't need to make the business too big and work too hard." Lang'er is young, and the future path is unknown. ”

Yan Xiaoming pit a lot of businesses in Jiangnan, many businesses were difficult to operate for a while, Ji Yanning annexed some of them, and the rest lent them money to tide over the difficulties first, and then collected their own profit sharing, so that Baochang Ji became the first business in Jiangnan, and there are only a handful of people who can have this financial strength in Dawei, but I am afraid that it will attract many people's eyes.

What's more, he prefers that Ji Lang can follow the path of officialdom, with Ji Lang's intelligence and the status of the Liu family, it is not difficult to find an official and a half-position for Ji Lang in the future, after all, the Shang family is lowly and the status is not high.

Ji Yanning said: "Actually, it's all the people under him who take care of it, and I don't have to worry about Yan Ning, but I don't feel tired." ”

Liu Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he could hear the meaning of Ji Yanning's words, he just said lightly: "You just have it in your own heart." Go back and rest. ”

Ji Yanning bowed his head, gave Liu Yuan a salute, and then retreated.

She had traveled a lot, but she was a little tired, and now she went back to her yard and instructed Ying'er to distribute the gifts she brought back to the Liu family, and she took a hot bath to rest.

When Ji Yanning had just taken a bath and left the bath, Ying'er had already returned, she walked into the room and saw that Pearl was gently applying ointment to Ji Yanning's forehead.

Pearl looked at this faint scar, her heart was distressed, such a beautiful face, almost ruined by this injury, fortunately, this ointment has some effect, it seems that it will not take long to erase the scar.

Ying'er stepped forward, and her heart tightened: "How did Miss's injury come about?"

Ji Yanning didn't care, just said, "I hit the table, that's it." Rest assured, it will be fine in some time. ”

Ying'er said: "Such a long opening, how can it be a small injury, I knew that the slave maid would go back with the young lady, and it was better for many people to look at it." ”

When Pearl heard Ying'er say this, she felt a little guilty in her heart, and said: "It's all because I went home at that time, and I didn't serve Miss in Jifu anymore, and Ziyu was alone by Miss's side, so it's no wonder that the thieves took advantage of the loophole." ”

"What's the matter with you one by one?" Ji Yanning turned his head to look at them, and couldn't help but smile, "Even if you are here, you can't change the situation at that time, others have calculations, so they are naturally prepared, and they will not easily fail because of some small differences, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

Ying'er lowered her head: "That's the same, the guards can find it in time, and those bad guys are not something we can deal with." ”

After Pearl smoothed the ointment, she put away the small bottle and put it back in the small medicine box.

"By the way, the slave thought that Pearl would stay in Jiangzhou this time, but I didn't expect you to come back with Miss. Ying'er was a little surprised, "Your father and mother are really willing." ”

Pearl is different from these maids, she is the daughter of the shopkeeper, and she has not signed a deed of sale, she can leave the young lady's side at any time, not to mention that the pearl has reached the age where she can be married, but I didn't expect the shopkeeper to be willing to let her baby daughter follow the eldest lady.

After listening to Ying'er's words, Pearl just smiled and said, "It is my blessing to be able to stay by the side of the eldest lady, and my father and mother will naturally not object." ”

The eldest lady is excellent in medicine and poison, and treats people very well, and she can learn a lot of skills by following the eldest lady's side, and the longer she stays with the eldest lady, the more she feels that what she has learned is just scratching the surface.

Ji Yanning listened to Ying'er's words, but said thoughtfully: "It's time to find a family affair for you." ”

Pearl was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Miss, let's think about our own family affairs first, we slaves and maids are not in a hurry." ”

"Speaking of family affairs. Ying'er said, "During the time when you were away, Miss, many people came to the door to propose. However, the slave maid heard that the people in the third room of the Liu family were chewing on the root of their tongues, and they all said that those people came for the eldest lady's money, and some people didn't know if it was jealous or not, in short, the eldest lady had to be careful. ”

Yan Xiaoming's matter was reported back to Chang'an, and naturally many dignitaries and nobles knew the details, and Ji Yanning's annexation of other businesses could not be hidden from those people.

Bao Chang Kee has now become a veritable No. 1 business name in Jiangnan, but the owner is a pair of young brothers, if they can marry them, it is not difficult to control Bao Chang Kee.

Some people just have such an idea, and even some ministers of the DPRK and China want their concubines to marry Ji Yanning.

It's no wonder that Liu Yuan said something serious to her just now, but he was afraid that she would be calculated by others.

Ji Yanning chuckled, not caring at all: "Don't worry, my family affairs can't be controlled by others." ”

If you want to calculate her, you have to think about whether you have the ability.

She rested for a day, and Liu Qingyun came over the next day, and handed over one of her handkerchiefs, a concubine among the third-grade officials.

Liu Qingyun said that she came to see Ji Yanning, so that she could make a friend, but the look in the eyes of the concubine was not just as simple as making a friend casually, and her brother was mentioned many times in her words, Ji Yanning knew what was going on even if she was stupid.

In their opinion, Ji Yanning's background in the Shang clan is already good to be able to climb such a family.

Ji Yanning was reluctant to answer their words, which made Liu Qingyun a little embarrassed.

After sending her friend away, Liu Qingyun said to Ji Yanning a little angrily: "Cousin, someone's father is also a third-grade official, such a young lady from a family, how can you put on such a face for others to see!"

Ji Yanning heard Liu Qingyun's questioning tone, but felt funny: "Otherwise, what does my cousin want me to do? I didn't ask her to come to me." ”

"You!" Liu Qingyun heard her words, and was choked by her and became even more angry, "I was kind enough to introduce you to friends, but it became my fault?"

Ji Yanning raised his eyes and looked at her: "Kindly introduce a friend? How can a friend never leave his brother for three sentences to a strange woman? Then how do you want me to echo it? If my cousin really thinks that her cousin is good, why don't you marry him?"

Liu Qingyun was exposed to the fact by Ji Yanning like this, and she was also a little angry: "So what, I'm also thinking about you." ”

She secretly slandered to herself, otherwise, with your identity as a merchant girl, how could an ordinary family look down on you.

Ji Yanning sneered: "The second cousin hasn't married yet, so she started the job of a matchmaker, which is really impressive." However, my uncle and aunt decide my own family affairs, so I don't need others to worry about it. ”

Liu Qingyun's face turned red when Ji Yanning said it, and she was extremely embarrassed, she snorted coldly and threw her sleeves away.

Ziyu, who was behind Ji Yanning, saw Liu Qingyun's appearance, sighed lightly, and wondered: "How could this second girl Liu get involved in such a thing, could it be that the people in the third room made her do this?"

In my impression, although Liu Qingyun is not very reasonable, she is not as unreasonable as Liu Tingting, who offends others at will, why do you still care about the eldest lady's family affairs today.

Ji Yanning said: "It shouldn't be Sanfang's intention, but her fiancé." ”

Liu Qingyun's fiancé, the person she recommended is a cousin, and it seems that the relationship is quite close.

Now that Liu Qingyun has not yet married, she has been pinched by her husband's family, coaxed by her fiancé to be hot-headed, and mixed into such a thing, she may not have a good life in the future, not only is it very likely to offend her mother's family, but her mother-in-law's family may not be able to please her, and she will fall into a situation where both sides are not people.
