After Ji Qingci told Luo Jiuqing the news that Gu Jue had sent back, the two of them fell into silence for a long time.

“…… Ah Ci, did Rong Chu reply to the letter? ”

Knowing Luo Yi's whereabouts, and Luo Yi clearly knew that Yuan Nian was sending troops for him, but he didn't have the slightest intention of coming back, Luo Jiuqing fell into an inexplicable mood, complaining that Luo Yi was ignoring the overall situation, and was angry with Gu Jue to pull Luo Yi into this unwarranted disaster, worrying about Yuan Nian's safety, and all kinds of emotions were entangled with each other and Luo Jiuqing was about to be out of breath.

Ji Qingci looked at Luo Jiuqing, who was becoming more and more silent, and a burst of powerlessness spread from the bottom of her heart, the words she wanted to comfort were on her lips, but she couldn't say anything, what could she say? said that Gu Jue couldn't be blamed for all this, because he was framed, or couldn't he blame Luo Yi for not taking care of himself and the entire Xuanwen Palace, he just wanted to help Gu Jue get rid of his crimes?

She smiled bitterly, even though Luo Yi and Gu Jue were not wrong, how could she comfort Luo Jiuqing with such a thing that had nothing to do with herself.

"There is no reply, but it is precisely because there is no reply that it means that everything is fine with Yuan Nian, after all, Yuan Nian is the Yuan family, and Rong Chu is here, if after Chinese New Year's Eve, Yuan Nian cannot come back, I will secretly leave Beijing and arrest Gu Ji and Luo Yi for you."

"Ah Ci ......" Luo Jiuqing's godless eyes gradually fluctuated.

"Huh?" Ji Qingci replied softly.

"Thank you......"

Ji Qingci smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Aqing, maybe you can't accept it by ignoring it, but you must not ...... Blame him. ”

Luo Jiuqing also smiled bitterly, and gradually reddened his eyes, "He is my brother, I think he is right to do anything......"

Although she left the Xuanwen Palace, Ji Qingci didn't want to go back, since she crossed into this world, she hadn't taken a good look at this world, sometimes real, sometimes dreamy world. alley

Under Ruan'er's guidance, she came to the most lively place in the capital, Wanping Lane.

She and Ruan Er got off the carriage and walked the street before they reached the alley, firstly, because the sign of the Taishifu on the carriage was too obvious, and secondly, she really needed to take a walk to relieve her depressed mood.

The closer you get to Wanping Lane, the more you can feel the breath of fireworks, a few children with windmills in their hands and you chase me past Ji Qingci, and there is a woman behind him who screams and scolds, "Little rabbit cub, let you run, I won't break your legs when you go home!" ”

There were stalls everywhere on both sides of the road, Xu saw Ji Qingci and Ruan Er dressed richly, and thought it was the daughter of a rich man, and shouted at her desperately.

In the midst of this clamor after another, Ji Qingci finally calmed down.

"Wanping Lane is a civilian street, since the current saint ascended the throne, all the ordinary people have been driven here, Second Miss, let's go back, it's too dangerous here." Ruan Er said as she tugged on her sleeve tightly.

"Are they dangerous? It is not them who are in danger, it is those dignitaries and nobles who live at the foot of the imperial city and play with power, and they are the relatives of the emperor who live in the imperial city and do not know the suffering of the world. Ji Qingci said calmly.

"Second Miss!" Ruan Er's pupils trembled, and she looked around in a panic to see if anyone had heard Ji Qingci's shocking words.

"Which seat is so good? So many people are thinking about it. ”

"Second Miss, please don't say anything." Ruan Er prayed with a crying voice.

Ji Qingci turned his head calmly and looked at Ruan Er, "Look, you can't even mention it, aren't they so dangerous?" ”

"Second Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Ruan'er. Ruan Er's voice trembled, and she looked at Ji Qingci worriedly.

What's wrong with her? She also wanted to know what was wrong with her, the letters sent back from Han Yiguan, one was a peace letter handed over to Luo Jiuqing, the other was what Gu Jue told them to do, and in the middle of the second envelope was hidden a third letter, which was written by Gu Jue to herself that she had accidentally discovered.

Gu Jue knew that as soon as he disappeared, Ji Qingci would inevitably take care of Han Yiguan's business personally, and naturally he would find out what he was doing, and this letter was Gu Jue's explanation to Ji Qingci......

With Gu Jue and Ji Qingci's original idea, it was just to use Ji Qingyin's reputation to open a small store to make money, at least that's what Ji Qingci thought.

Later, the reputation of the Han Yiguan gradually grew, and even the nobles in the palace also fell in love with the clothes of the Han Yiguan, and for a while, like flowing gold, a steady stream of Han Yiguan was sent into the Han Yiguan, but it was also because of this that the Han Yiguan would be targeted.

And Gu Jue unexpectedly discovered from the thousands of threads of information that the person who was monitoring Han Yiguan was actually the prince's man.

Gu Jue and Ji Qingci one is a proton sent by Nanshe, and the other is the second lady of the Taishi Mansion, neither of them can compete with the prince, so Gu Jue had a bold idea, he handed over the picture and clothing book of Han Yiguan to the traders who traveled south and north, and took advantage of the reason for being suspended, in a short period of time, the Han Yiguan was opened to the counties around the capital, and it was gradually spreading.

With Gu Jue's talented business methods, Han Yiguan's reputation became more and more well-known, which angered the prince even more, because Ji Qingci almost never participated in Han Yiguan's business, so the prince found out that the boss behind Han Yiguan was Gu Jue.

The crown prince Qing Ziji took a fancy to the wealth of Han Yiguan like a cornucopia, and forced Gu Jue to hand over Han Yiguan, and Gu Jue siphoned off a large amount of money in a short period of time, and was about to hand over an empty shell with nothing left to Qing Ziji, Gu Jue learned from Luo Yi that Qing Ziyu was secretly arresting Nan Shi Xizuo, and this fine work was likely to be him.

Nan Shi has planted a detailed work in Shuoyi, and Gu Jue has heard of it somewhat, which is what his second brother is best at.

But this meticulous work was exposed not long after he arrived in Shuoyi, and he was too anxious and didn't want his second brother Gu Chen's methods, relying on his understanding of Gu Chen, with the help of Luo Yi, he quickly found out the conspiracy between Qing Ziji and Gu Chen.

So, why did Luo Yi know that the person who sent troops on his behalf was Yuan Nian? Because, he and Gu Jue are in the music gathering, and they are also the ones who caused this homeless riot.

Gu Jue left all the money to Ji Qingci, even if the prince still found out about Ji Qingci in the end, she could still save her life with the money.

When Ji Qingci saw the letter, it was like being struck by lightning, it turned out that the reason why the plot exposed by Gu Jue was so long in advance was all due to her......

She wandered aimlessly, her palms clutching the key to the riches that Gu Jue had worked so hard to get back.

After a few turns, she stopped in front of a dilapidated house.

At the door of this house, an old woman with gray hair was trembling holding a mallet, beating her clothes with all her strength, and the dirty water of the clothes spread down the potholed dirt road to Ji Qingci's feet, staining the pair of cloud silk embroidered shoes on her feet that were enough to pay for the ten years of life of an ordinary family of five.

"Mother-in-law." Ji Qingci slowly approached and called softly.

The old woman heard Ji Qingci's voice coldly, the movements in her hands paused, looked at Ji Qingci's expensive dress, cautiously pointed the mallet at Ji Qingci, and saw the pair of embroidered shoes soaked in sewage on Ji Qingci's feet, and suddenly lost his master.

"You...... Who are you? I...... There's no money to lose to you. ”

Ji Qingqi smiled and shook his head, "It's me who can't dodge it, and I also like these shoes." ”

"My goodness, I don't like such beautiful shoes." The old woman muttered under her breath.

"Mother-in-law, can I ask you for something?" Ji Qingci pleaded.

The old woman held a stick in her right hand, rubbed her left hand shyly on her clothes, and said embarrassedly, "I'm a bad old woman, how can I help the eldest lady." ”

Ji Qingci handed over the key in his hand to his mother-in-law, and instructed Ruan Er to hand over the money enough to buy ten private houses to her mother-in-law.

"This money is used as a commission for my mother-in-law to keep things for me, and the time is ...... Decade. Ji Qingci tore off the jade pendant he was carrying, "Just take this as a token, no matter who comes with this jade pendant, my mother-in-law just hands over the things to him." ”

After several hesitations, in the end, she still couldn't resist the temptation of money, and her mother-in-law still agreed to Ji Qingci.

When she left, she was relieved, and she took it as a gamble and left her fate to God to decide.

On the way back, Ruan Er obviously felt that Ji Qingci's mood was much better, judging from her behavior along the way...... It should be cured.

In the next few days, the prince led someone to search the Han clothes and crowns.

It turned out that as soon as Ji Qingci took the key, Gu Jue received the news, and then transferred the store he had already made to the prince.

On the account book that the prince took from his subordinates, every stroke recorded the deficit of the Han Yiguan, and filled these deficits, and he was afraid that the entire East Palace would have to be put into it.

The angry Qing Ziji slammed the ledger to the ground, "Okay, you have a trick, wait for this palace, and see if you kill this palace first or this palace will kill you first!" ”

As the time gets closer to the end of the year, the winter in the capital is getting colder and colder.

And Ji Qing's right hand, which was broken before the resignation, changed with the weather, and the itchy and painful feeling came out of the cracks in the bones, and Yu An's hand cage also came in handy.

If nothing else, on this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, not only Yuan Nian and Rong Chu will not return, but Ji Qingci's cheap father, Luo Yi and Gu Ji will not be in the capital.

And a few days ago, King Xuanwen's old problem had flares up again, and the entire Xuanwen Palace's mansion could only be maintained by Luo Jiuqing, but fortunately, Chu Li could help from time to time.

In this Chinese New Year's Eve, only Ji Qingyin and the group of maids from Dongling Garden and Nanxi Garden were by her side, just like when she had just crossed over......
