Chapter 221: The Blessing of the Source
Ji Lan turned his head abruptly and saw that Li was looking at her with a calm face.
When she saw Li, she suddenly cried even more: "Mother, you don't know how hard I am living in prison!"
Li frowned: "Crying and crying, what kind of system!"
Ziyu glanced at their mother and daughter from the side, but did not interject.
Ji Lan said aggrievedly: "Mother, you don't know, it was because of Ziyu that her daughter was arrested and imprisoned by those officers and soldiers as Ji Yanning, you have to be the master of your daughter!
Ziyu stood aside unmoved, she was not afraid of Ji Lan, and naturally she was not afraid of the Li family.
Li's gaze glanced at Ziyu, and then looked at Ji Lan: "At that time, you were going to replace Yan Ning, who can blame you?"
"Mother......" Ji Lan looked at her with wide eyes when he heard Li's words, and said in disbelief, "Obviously I am your daughter, why are you always biased towards Ji Yanning!"
Li scolded: "Enough! I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances in prison, but you can't be so vexatious. ”
Ji Lan was simply disheartened, she said: "Obviously, the governor of Jiangnan has already arrived in Jiangzhou two days ago, and she Ji Yanning didn't send anyone to the yamen to pick me up, and forced me to stay in prison for so long!
Ziyu opened her mouth at this time: "The eldest lady has so many things to deal with, who can think of it at once?"
When Ji Lan heard Ziyu's words, he turned his head and yelled at her: "She doesn't remember, don't you remember either!"
Ziyu looked at Ji Lan: "I want to serve the eldest lady, and many things can't be remembered all at once, haven't I already taken you out now?"
The Li family didn't want Ji Lan to make trouble anymore, so he directly asked Ji Lan to take him back.
Why did she give birth to such a stupid daughter, she was just thinking about Ji Yanning's things before, and at this time, she had to come forward and fight against Ji Yanning, isn't she looking for death?
Even people like Bai Heshi and Yan Xiaoming can't deal with Ji Yanning, Ji Lan is a young lady raised in a deep house, does she really think that Ji Yanning is so easy to mess with?
Pulling Ji Lan back, the Li family banned her feet and did not allow her to leave the courtyard until Ji Yanning left.
It can be seen from Ziyu's attitude, how could Ji Yanning not know those careful thoughts in Ji Lan's heart! If Ji Yanning cares about it, I'm afraid that even all the people in the third room of them will not have a good life.
It seems that it's time to find a family affair for Ji Lan, and settle her mind as soon as possible, if she is no longer interested, then she can only make her suffer.
Ziyu went back to the courtyard and told Ji Yanning what happened just now.
"The third lady is too much, obviously she is at fault first, and she is embarrassed to come to our yard to make trouble. Ziyu said angrily, "If the Third Lady hadn't brought her back, I would have really reprimanded her again!"
Ji Yanning listened to Ziyu's words, but chuckled.
The current Ziyu has changed a little bit from a year ago, although the previous Ziyu did things properly, but she was too timid, and she always had all kinds of worries, and now she can stand alone at the gate of the courtyard and reprimand others without changing her face.
"Don't worry, if the third aunt is interested, she will definitely give us an explanation. Ji Yanning said, "If she is not interested, she will have to change the house to live in the third room." ”
Ziyu said: "The third lady is still more sensible, but fortunately, she didn't indulge the third lady's nonsense." ”
Ji Yanning smiled and said nothing, when you are strong enough, those who used to be unreasonable will become "right and wrong" in front of you.
At the beginning, Ji Lan hid other thoughts and wanted to replace her, and Wu Geng had already seen it, but he pushed the boat in time and let her make trouble, just delaying time for Baochang Ji.
The two of them were talking about Ji Lan, and Wu Geng had already come to her yard.
Ji Yanning let him in, and Ziyu stepped aside.
"Miss. Wu Geng stepped forward and said, "The shop of Baochangji has almost resumed business now, and there is nothing wrong with the villa, the current goods can be transported out normally, and in a few days, Baochangji will be able to return to its previous state." ”
Ji Yanning nodded, she still trusted Wu Geng's ability to do things very much.
She handed the things in her hand to Wu Geng and said, "Look at this." ”
Wu Geng took the thin son in her hand, turned two pages, looked up and asked Ji Yanning: "Does the eldest lady want to merge with Fuyuanji?"
Ji Yanning bowed his head and said: "Now Fuyuanji has enough working capital, but the villas under its name are indeed not bad, if they can be incorporated and taken care of, there will be good income." What's more, now Bai Heshi has no choice, if he doesn't sell it to us, his life will not be easy. ”
Wu Geng pondered for a moment and felt that the eldest lady's idea was very feasible.
He said: "But in terms of employing people, we still need to think more about it, the original people of Fuyuan Ji must be used, otherwise we will not have enough manpower, but we must also have our own reliable people." ”
Ji Yanning said: "Ask the shopkeeper Lin if he intends to do it for another two years? And his grandson Lin Shaoyang, I have personally assessed it, and he is a usable material, now the situation is special, you can consider letting their grandfather and grandson take over some of the affairs of Fuyuan Ji, as for the general manager of Fuyuan Ji, does Uncle Wu have a recommendation?"
Wu Geng pondered for a while and said, "I think Qin Jue is good. ”
"Qin Jue?" Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and then he remembered that this person came, the son of a down-and-out family from Chang'an, he had seen a lot, and there was a lot of ink in his stomach.
She pulled out the last booklet from the table, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
This Qin Jue's ability is good, in just one year, he is much more capable than some shopkeepers, and he is a powerful character.
"It's just that I remember when he first arrived, he was quite reluctant to do business. Ji Yanning was a little worried, after all, many things are deep-rooted.
She could talk about Qin Jue before, just because Qin Jue at that time was more of a nowhere to go.
Wu Geng said with a smile: "Don't worry, eldest lady, he was indeed a little repulsed at the beginning, but after he got acquainted with it, he found that this business was not as unbearable as he imagined, and it was not as easy as he imagined, so he naturally accepted it." ”
Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly, this was an unexpected joy.
"Then I'll go talk to Bai Heshi. The corners of Ji Yanning's lips hooked up with a smile.
Ziyu saw the appearance of her own young lady and knew that the eldest lady must have some idea in her heart to harm others and benefit herself.
Ji Yanning was efficient, and went directly to Bai's house on the second day to explain his intentions.
Bai Heshi regretted it now, and he had a headache when he saw Ji Yanning.
Although he resisted very much in his heart, he had no choice but to be pushed to the lowest price by Ji Yanning, so he gave up Fuyuanji.
Ji Yanning stayed in Jiangzhou for another month, and after handling everything properly, he finally ushered in the new Jiangzhou prefect Lord Weng.
Li and Ji Weisheng set a family affair for Ji Lan, the son of an eight-grade official, the family is not very rich, but it is not a poor family, that son has a good character, but he is too honest, and Ji Lan will not be too wronged when he marries.
Ji Lan made a fuss for a few days after knowing about it, and finally accepted the reality.
She has never been Ji Yanning.
After the affairs of Jiangzhou were dealt with, Ji Yanning once again embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.
What made her happy was that she had not received news of Yan Xiaoming's arrest for more than a month, and she should have been safe.
It's just that the Jinhe arranged by Rong Che has always been by her side, even after Yan Guo's careful work was resolved, he still didn't leave, and he must escort Ji Yanning back to Chang'an.
Ji Yanning couldn't control him, so he could only go with him.
At this time, Xiao Shaobei and Rong Che should have gone to Northern Xinjiang, and I don't know if Rong Che, a noble prince who is used to living in Chang'an, can adapt to the life of Northern Xinjiang.
But with Xiao Shaobei here, I think he will get used to it.
After half a month's journey, Ji Yanning returned to Chang'an again, and she had received a lot of news on the way.
For example, the second prince and the third prince choose concubines.
With the intelligence of the queen and the third prince, if she didn't want to marry Murong Yixue, there was naturally a way to make her die, but she didn't expect that this Murong Yixue was really given to the second prince Rongyu.
The marriage contract between the third prince and Guo Xinyue also surprised Ji Yanning a little, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a good match.
At least the third prince is not really dumb.
"Sister!"
As soon as Ji Yanning's carriage arrived at the door of Liufu, Ji Lang rushed towards her carriage, she stepped out of the carriage, and when she saw Ji Lang, she was very happy, raised her hand and touched Ji Lang's head, and said with a smile: "It's only been less than three months, and Lang'er has grown a lot taller." ”
Ji Lang said: "I have listened carefully to my sister's words and practiced martial arts well, and the master who practiced martial arts said that I was so diligent, so I naturally grew faster." ”
"Mm-hmm, Lang'er is great. Ji Yanning praised.
Liu Mu had something to deal with in the court, and he didn't see him, but An Shi and Liu Changyuan were already waiting at the door.
Ji Yanning was moved in her heart, she was a junior, and naturally she didn't need her aunt and cousin to come out to greet her, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted An and Liu Changyuan: "Uncle, third cousin." ”
An Shi pulled Ji Yanning over and took a closer look, and then he was relieved.
"Yan Ning, my aunt was frightened when she received the news, the affairs in Jiangzhou are too dangerous, are you okay?"
Now that the matter of Yan Xiaoming, the prefect of Jiangzhou, has already spread, the Liu family has also received the news from the guards early, knowing that Ji Yanning was actually hijacked by thieves, they are also worried.
Ji Yanning smiled and turned around, and said to An's family: "Auntie, isn't Yan Ning okay now?" ”
Liu Changyuan regretted: "I knew that I should have accompanied my cousin to Jiangzhou, so that I would not fall into such a dangerous situation." ”
