"Is the girl awake?" Ji Yuan took the dry handkerchief handed over by Lie Ying, he had just finished practicing his sword, and he was covered in sweat.

"Bai Zhi just went to the kitchen to get the green stem porridge and pickled cucumber, and the girl may have risen." Lie-Ying put away his sword.

"Send another plate of crystal dumplings, it's not good to eat too little in the morning." As soon as Ji Yuan finished ordering, he changed his words again, "Let's send quicksand buns, she always feels greasy when she uses meat in the morning." ”

"Huh." Leon went down with his sword in hand.

Ji Yuan walked towards the study while listening to the information of Lie Zhan.

It is nothing more than the development of the Chen family and the way of business of Master Chen.

"I've listened to this over and over again several times, do you think something is strange?" Ji Yuan frowned and asked about Lie Zhan.

Lie Zhan scratched his head in shame, "I feel that this Chen Gongzi is really a good bamboo shoot from the bamboo nest." ”

Seeing that Ji Yuan didn't speak, he hurriedly added, "Although the humble position is not as careful as Lieying, and it is not as good as him to engage in intelligence, but I just think that this Chen Gongzi is different from everyone in the Chen family, and it is too strange." ”

Lie Zhan was originally responsible for training the martial arts of the secret guards, and compared to Lie Ying, who specialized in intelligence, he was indeed not as thoughtful and logical as he was.

It's just that this is not rough, Ji Yuan felt that it made sense in his heart, and still asked, "The predecessors said that out of the mud is not stained, and the lotus is not demonic, maybe, this Chen Gongzi is of noble character?" ”

The Chen family's humanities are not very good, or in other words, they are uneducated, the girl's family is arrogant and arrogant, and the children are also very absurd, but this Chen Gongzi is very different.

"Humble and shallow, I privately think that our brothers have found all the traces that can be found, he has been in the past 20 years, the first ten years have been mediocre, children, although they are not notorious, they do not have the name of a prodigy, they have written some splendid poems since the age of eleven, and some have heard Lieying say, the response is good, but it will not be famous in Jinling."

Lie Zhan pursed his lips, "There is no famous teacher to teach, the name of the enlightened master is unknown, and he has not seen any great Confucian guidance at the age of fourteen, and the Chen family has no family history." And he also refuses to compose poems in front of others, and occasionally poems come out, which is also caused by word of mouth. ”

However, Chen Gongzi's poetic style is mostly gorgeous, and it is very popular with some officials in Jinling. With such good conditions, Chen Gongzi refused to enter the official career, and this dynasty looked down on business, which was already the trend. ”

"You've said so much, and you still haven't said what's inappropriate?" Ji Yuan took a sip of tea.

"I boldly assume that Chen Gongzi's article may not be written by him, but by someone else." Lie Zhan refilled Ji Yuan's tea, "Whether it is the growth environment or the later performance, Chen Gongzi is really a little awkward. ”

"Whether it's a ghostwriter or a talent, you just have to check it first." Ji Yuan instructed, "Since this Chen Gongzi likes to dance and ink, the red silk inkstone should be added and brought over when I go at noon." ”

"The gift prepared this time is really valuable." Lie Ying listened to Ji Yuan's instructions, and made an extremely generous move, and he was bound to be a rich man.

"After all, my Ji family made a fortune in antiques, didn't they? I like to put on a scene like this. Ji Yuan smiled slightly, obviously entering the role.

Ji Yuan and Lie Zhan chatted for a few words, it was a random guess, who would have thought that it would come true later, and it also involved an unjust case a few years ago.

Ji Yuan changed his clothes after bathing, and when he came out, he saw Huo Shui'er sitting and waiting for him with a smile.

"Qi Gongzi sent some things, saying that they would naturally meet at noon." The Chen family runs wine, and there is no reason not to invite Jinling Qi Dashao, who is the cousin of the prince of the dynasty, and his status is precious.

"Oh?" Ji Yuan looked at the list, all of them were things from his daughter's house, rouge gouache and a box of booklets, and some recommendations such as place name shops, which must not have been given to himself, but to Huo Shui'er.

"I think it's the fourth brother's fiancée who thinks about it, and you'll see you later." Ji Yuan put the list aside and ordered them to carry the things to Huo Shui'er's yard.

"When did Gongzi Qi get married?" Huo Shui'er tilted her head and thought about it, she really didn't have any impression.

"This Ruan girl, is the fourth brother's uncle's sister-in-law, her mother died early, her father had an accident, Mrs. Qi pity her is an orphan girl, she has been raised by her side, she has already made a marriage, the fourth brother came to the capital before she came, but at that time Miss Ruan was in Jinling and did not come to the capital together."

"Miss Ruan and Qi Gongzi's childhood sweethearts, their relationship must be the same as ours, and they are excellent."

Huo Shui'er sighed, who doesn't know that the eldest son of the Qi family is the target of how many girls in Jinling City want to marry, and there must be a lot of hearts broken.

"Yes, maybe." Ji Yuan replied casually, and then diverted the topic.

There are many things that others are not easy to say. Qi Baiyan and Ruan Qing are married, which can be regarded as going through twists and turns, he was engaged by his mother, and the result depends on how Miss Ruan manages it.

Qi Baiyan is not a cold-hearted person, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to friendship, which Ji Yuan still knows.

The two talked for a while, and Huo Shui'er forced to drink a few mouthfuls of shredded chicken porridge under Ji Yuan's gaze, after all, Huo Shui'er was extremely picky, and Ji Yuan was worried that she wouldn't like Chen's food, and she would be hungry for a long time.

Huo Shui'er went back to the yard to pick up a while, and then got into the carriage and went to Chen's mansion.

Recently, there is a character who is very famous in the Jinling business district.

The name of the young owner of the Ji family is Ji Ming, and before he came to Jinling City, the people under his hands took orders for the large and small antique shops in Jinling City, and the action was so big that these old merchants had to pay attention to him, after all, they had never heard of this person before, and those who traveled south and north said they didn't know.

Master Chen is one of the giants in Jinling's merchants, and there is a new person who has come and made such a big noise, so he naturally wants to take a look. On the occasion of my father's 80th birthday, I congratulated the old birthday star, and by the way, I also set the table for wine.

I only heard that Ji Gongzi is here, and the recitation list of the famous person is shocking, and the Chen family is also a huge rich family, and it is rare to have such a rich and important gift, and even the mellow Dadongzhu has been given two hundreds.

The person who read the gift list in front came to pass the word, and everyone present listened to it, which made this group of people have a subtle feeling in their hearts.

Master Chen smiled, and immediately joked with Qi Baiyan, "It seems that this Ji Gongzi is young and promising, and he will not lose to Qi Shao." ”

Although Qi Baiyan is young, he and Master Chen and others are also peers, Master Chen doesn't know the relationship between him and Ji Yuan, he just wants to take some eye medicine lightly.

Qi Baiyan turned the jade wrench on his thumb and didn't say anything, so that people couldn't see joy and anger.

In fact, he was light in his heart, and it was really difficult for the third brother to deal with this group of people.

When Ji Yuan came in, the eyes of the whole hall were looking at him as if they were nothing.

Dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with a jade belt hanging from his waist, he has his own noble atmosphere.

"Brother Ji, it's really costing you." Master Chen was the first to laugh, and the servant who immediately had eyes led Ji Yuan to take a seat.

"Brother Chen laughed, these are also thoughts, not worth a few dollars." Ji Yuan also laughed, his gaze intersected with Qi Baiyan as if he didn't have it, and then staggered.
