Jiang Lingran didn't know what to say about him.

I remembered that he was grounded in Baoshan, this is to sneak back to the city at night to play? Or is the grounding lifted? Or is it the results of Baoshan's investigation?

She wanted to ask him, but the words swirled on the tip of her tongue and swallowed down the tea.

Yan Qi poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, raised her eyes to look at her, and said in a deep tone: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Jiang Lingran was puzzled: "Who?" ”

Yan Qi lowered his chin and looked in the direction of Nu Datong Street: "Those four people today? ”

How did he know? Did the news spread so quickly? Jiang Lingran sneered, shook his head and said, "I didn't watch it." As he spoke, he squinted and thought about it, and said uncertainly: "It seems that the clothes are quite fancy." ”

Yan Qi's eyebrows were raised slightly, his eyes were dark, he stared at her, and asked softly and slowly, "Do you like it?" ”

Jiang Lingran shook his head very dryly: "I don't like it." ”

The gloom in Yan Qi's eyes was swept away, and he laughed.

Jiang Lingran couldn't hold back in the end, and asked him: "Childe didn't stop in Baoshan, why did he come back?" ”

Yan Qi's eyes fell on the box on the table, the lid was lifted, and he was secretly happy, he put snacks today.

"Recently, the rain has been frequent, and the emperor has asked all places to report the water level, and the water level of the two lakes this year is higher than in previous years. The Ministry of Engineering looked at the height of the embankments built on the two lakes and guessed that there might be a major flood. This morning, the emperor has issued a directive to the area near the river to prevent disasters and avoid floods. I found out and came back to prepare. ”

Jiang Lingran's heart tightened: "What are you going to do!" ”

Does he want to go to the disaster relief himself?

If things have not changed as in his previous life, then according to his relationship with the prince, wouldn't he have betrayed the black cauldron of the prince's injury?

Yan Qi pinched a piece of cloud-white dim sum pressed into the shape of a flower and took a bite, and said vaguely when he heard the words: "Raise disaster relief funds, food, herbs and other disaster relief materials." ”

Jiang Lingran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, took a sip of tea, and calmed his mind.

Yan Qi thought of something, his expression darkened, and he sighed: "In recent years, there have been different degrees of drought in many places, but this year there is no drought, but the rain is too frequent. He shook his head and said, "It is the people who suffer." ”

Jiang Lingran saw that the corners of his mouth were still stained with frosting, and he still pinched half of it in his hand, like a greedy child, but his dark eyes were full of the heaviness of worrying about the country and the people.

Although the disaster in the previous life was serious, fortunately, protection was done in advance.

Many houses were washed away, and there was a lot of damage to fertile land and livestock, but fortunately, the casualties among the people were minimal.

With the generous amount of money he donated, the victims were quickly rebuilt.

At that time, the rice and flour oil shops of the Qijia Commercial Bank in the Lianghu area were nearly half cheaper than those in other areas, and this lasted for a year.

He has never been vague about disaster relief and rescue.

But how did such a good man end up in such a tragic ending in his previous life?

Jiang Lingran saw him swallow most of the dim sum in one bite, and frowned: "Didn't you have dinner?" ”

Yan Qi said: "I used it." ”

said that it was used, but his hand still reached into the box without hesitation, and pinched a piece of snack out.

"Jiang Lingran really doesn't know how a big man can be so fond of dim sum.

Speechless for a moment, he thought of something, and then asked: "If there is really a disaster, can the emperor decide which prince to let go to the disaster relief?" ”

"It's not decided yet." Yan Qi thought and said: "However, in the past two years, the emperor has intended to let the prince increase his prestige in the hearts of the people, if the two lakes are really unfortunate to have a flood, the prince has a great chance of going." ”

Jiang Lingran frowned almost invisibly, and said: "The guards around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have lived in the capital for a long time, and they are used to being stable, I don't know if they can be alert to deal with the chaotic scene during the disaster relief and protect the prince to return safely." ”

Yan Qi thought about her words and said, "The people around the prince have always been cautious and will be fine. Unintentionally, she saw a large wooden box on her desk, and wondered, "What is that?" ”

Jiang Lingran followed his gaze, his eyes flashed, and said, "It's a jade carving." ”

There is a slight tremor at the end.

Yan Qi didn't notice it, and said, "You want to give it away?" ”

Jiang Lingran said: "Cheap sale." ”

"Huh?" Yan Qi paused, and said suspiciously: "Are you short of silver?" ”

Jiang Lingran nodded, added tea for himself, and added it to him by the way, and said, "I want to buy a house for my brother to use in the future." ”

Yan Qi slapped off the frosting on her hand, got up to look at the jade carving in the wooden box, turned her head and asked her, "How many shots are you going to make?" ”

Jiang Lingran said: "Five thousand taels." ”

Yan Qi said: "This jade carving is excellent in terms of jade quality and carving, and it is a pity to sell it at this price." I'll lend you as much silver as you need, and don't sell it. ”

Jiang Lingran said with a smile: "I can't always owe you favors." ”

After a pause, his eyes turned to his face, and he said, "Besides, this jade carving is wanted by the old customer, and it is not appropriate to refuse." ”

Yan Qi felt that her gaze was a little strange, but she couldn't say anything strange.

frowned and said, "Old patron? Do you shoot a lot of such jade carvings? ”

Jiang Lingran nodded.

Yan Qi really wanted to say that she was a loser.

Such jade carvings are also very sought-after when sold for 7,000 taels.

She can't spoil things like this even if she needs silver urgently!

Just as he was about to ask her who her old customer was, he heard heavy footsteps approaching, he stood up and said hurriedly: "Someone is coming, hurry up, where am I hiding?" ”

Jiang Lingran was talking about the key point, and seeing his reaction, he almost bit the tip of his tongue in anger.

Frustrated and stunned, he said, "How do you know that someone is coming?" ”

"I hear footsteps, quick, where are you hiding?" Yan Qi anxiously looked around the house, looking for a place to hide.

Jiang Lingran saw him like this, and knew that it was true.

Hurriedly stood up, and without hesitation, pushed him to the inner room.

As soon as Yan Qi hid behind the curtain, there was a knock on the door.

Xiang Zhu's voice came from under the corridor: "Girl, the son is here." ”

Jiang Lingran lifted it up in one breath and said, "It's here." It was as if he had been choked by the throat, and his voice was a little sharp and tight.

I heard a low laugh from behind the curtain.

Jiang Lingran suddenly became depressed.

He still laughs? If it weren't for him, she would be so embarrassed!

Raised his foot and kicked over.

Hearing a muffled snort, the breath in her chest suddenly subsided.

When I walked outside, I found that Yan Qi had drunk half a cup of tea and opened the uncovered box.

Hurriedly put the lid of the box, holding the tea cup but couldn't find a place to pour it out, hurriedly raised his head and drank it all, swallowed the tea, and hurriedly put the empty cup in the tea tray, and then went to open the door.

Jiang Ji turned his back to the door, stood under the porch with his hands in his hands, heard the sound of the door opening, and turned to look.

I don't know if it's because of the thief's weak heart, Jiang Lingran felt that Jiang Ji's expression was a little gloomy at this time.

With a heart to mention, Jiang Lingran reluctantly squeezed out and smiled: "Why hasn't my brother rested yet?" ”

Jiang Ji looked at her calmly and said, "Didn't you rest either?" He said and stepped into the room.

Jiang Lingran glanced at Xiang Zhu, whose face was snow-white with fright, took a deep breath and followed, watching Jiang Ji sit down, she stood with her fingers twisted and didn't move.

Jiang Ji said: "Come and sit." ”

Jiang Lingran said "oh", sat down beside him, poured a cup of tea and put it in his hand: "Brother drink tea." ”
