Back in the alley of Fang Cai, he grabbed some pastries from the carriage and gave them to the little girl who led the way, and Ji Yunyun followed Mr. Fang into the courtyard.

There were some wood and jade materials piled up in the yard, and several half-completed wood carvings and jade carvings were thrown on the ground at will, Ji Yunyun took a look when he walked into the house, although the wood and jade materials were not good, but only half of the carvings could be seen to be lifelike, and the skills were superb.

"I'm alone, and I haven't boiled hot water, so I won't invite you to tea." Mr. Fang put down the fishing rod and wooden barrel, and asked straight to the point, "Did you bring the jade material?" ”

"Brought it." Ji Yunyun hurriedly asked Chun Tao to put the ebony box on the table and open it, and then took out the portrait of the broken Jade Buddha from his sleeve, "Sir, just press the carving on this portrait." ”

"Wow, good material." Seeing the jade material in the ebony box, Mr. Fang raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub it carefully.

"This is half of the deposit, and the other half will be given when the gentleman has carved it." Ji Yunyun motioned to Chun Tao to take out a silver ticket of two hundred taels and hand it to Mr. Fang, the amount of the silver ticket was according to Mr. Yu's price, and even more.

"You don't have to give the rest, just give me the remaining jade materials after carving the jade Buddha." Mr. Fang took the silver ticket and stuffed it into his sleeve without looking at it, and couldn't put it down and touched the smooth and warm jade material.

"Yes." Ji Yunyun nodded, although this jade material is good, it can be carved into earrings and bracelets or the like, but they don't dare to bring it, it will be miserable if they are found by the second uncle, it is better to give it to Mr. Fang, and offset the rest of the deposit, which just saves silver.

Thinking of the time limit, Ji Yunyun advised: "Mr. Fang, please be sure to complete it within a month." ”

"No problem, you can pick it up in a month." Mr. Fang waved his hand, confident and confident.

Coming out of the courtyard, the sky was a little gloomy, and there was a cold wind, and Ji Yunyun wrapped the cloak on his body tightly.

"Girl, get in the carriage, it looks like it's going to rain." Chun Tao helped her girl into the carriage, urged the coachman to wave the whip, and left quickly.

In a house in the northwest of Yunyang County, the man who was fishing with Mr. Fang just now put down his fishing rod and went into the house, and saw two more people at the table, one standing and the other sitting with tea and pouring himself a drink.

"Why did you come back so early today?" The man sitting at the table asked him.

"Someone came to look for Lao Fang, so he came back early." The man sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea, and asked, "The prince came here this time, but what happened to the prince?" ”

Qi Cheng shook his head, "The prince is fine, but when the emperor was bedridden by the cold, Sun Guifei's careful care moved the emperor, and now Sun Guifei is favored by the emperor again, and the second prince has also been frequently praised by the emperor. Mr. Fu, what should we do next? ”

"The Sun family has been operating in the DPRK for so many years, and where it is a flood, it can completely collapse. Can the medicine given to the queen be taken on time? Mr. Fu took a sip of tea and asked.

"Yes, although it can't completely cure Niangniang's illness, but now her health is much better." Qi Cheng nodded.

"That's good, as long as the queen mother is still there, the position of the prince will still sit firmly. Hurry up and collect evidence of the crimes committed by the Sun family and the second prince, and they will not find out. After Mr. Fu finished speaking, he remembered and asked, "When are you going to propose to the Sun family?" ”

Uncle Sun Guo is cunning and cunning, and what he does outside is not leaky, if you want to find evidence of the Sun family's crimes, you must be able to go deep into the Sun family, and Qi Chengying marrying Sun Yingying is the easiest and safest way.

Qi Cheng was silent for a moment before replying, "I'm not sure yet." ”

Mr. Fu looked at him a little strangely, it was Qi Cheng who offered to marry Sun Yingying to get close to the Sun family and the second prince, why did he hesitate now?

"I have sent you some grain and vegetables, and they have been placed in the kitchen, I am leaving, and I will come to see you next time." Qi Cheng said and stood up and walked to the door.

"Be careful on the way back, the girl who came to find Lao Fang today looks like an official lady in the capital, and she will not be recognized." Mr. Fu sent him to the gate of the courtyard and admonished.

"Got it." Qi Cheng nodded, took Feng Ji to an ordinary carriage at the door, and quickly galloped away.

As soon as the carriage left, Mr. Fu was about to close the door, when the courtyard gate on the opposite side opened, and a round-faced and chubby aunt came out with a wooden basin full of clothes, and greeted with a smile: "Yo, Uncle Fu, your nephew has come to see you again?" ”

"Well, send some food, Aunt Lin will go to the river to do laundry?" Mr. Fu nodded at her and said with a smile.

"Yes." After saying a few words casually, Mr. Fu closed the door, and Aunt Lin walked to the river with her clothes, sighing as she walked, Uncle Fu's nephew is really filial and has to send food over every month.

The Uncle Fu on the other side of the door was just moved here a few months ago, saying that he was not in good health, and he came here to recuperate, and he usually didn't go out much, and the food was sent by his nephew. Speaking of which, Uncle Fu's nephew has come a few times, she has not seen the face, only once she saw the side face, it is really the most handsome young man she has ever seen, but this young man's temperament is a little cold and difficult to mess with, and at first glance he is not born in an ordinary family.

The weather was getting more and more gloomy, and as soon as I came out of Yunyang County, the heavy rain was falling. When they came out of Mr. Fang's house, it was not early, and they had hoped that they could return to the capital on the road as soon as possible before dark, but now the carriage had to slow down due to heavy rain.

"The girl is fine, we'll rush back." Chun Tao comforted her girl, and then lifted the curtain slightly and loudly instructed the driver outside, "The road is slippery in the rain, hurry slowly, the most important thing is the girl's safety." ”

The cold rain fell in through the crack in the car curtain, Ji Yunyun gathered the cloak on his body, and Chun Tao saw it and hurriedly put down the curtain.

After another while, the carriage suddenly stopped slowly, and a male voice sounded in the roaring rain, "Driver, but you're going to the capital?" Our carriage is broken, can you give us a ride? ”

The coachman flatly refused: "There is my girl sitting in the carriage, how can you two men get into the carriage?" Wait, there may be other carriages passing by. ”

The coachman was about to leave, but another male voice sounded again, "If it is going to be dark today, and the rain is so heavy, it is not easy to see the carriage passing by." If you are worried, we have a horse, and one person rides and the other sits in front, and the girl who will not be unobtrusive in the carriage. ”

Two tall strange men, the coachman was not worried about the safety of his girl, he frowned and wanted to refuse, but Ji Yunyun heard a familiar male voice in the carriage, lifted the curtain to look out, and exclaimed in surprise: "Shizi? ”

The two men holding oil-paper umbrellas outside the carriage were Qi Cheng and Feng Ji.

"Miss Ji?" Qi Cheng was also a little surprised when he saw her, there was no emblem of the Pingguo Mansion on the carriage, so he didn't recognize it as the carriage of the Guogong Mansion for a while.

"Come on." Seeing that the rain was heavy again, the corners of Qi Cheng's robe were wet with rain, Ji Yunyun said.

Since he is the prince of King An's mansion, the coachman did not stop him. Qi Cheng dusted off the rain on his brocade robe, bent down and entered the carriage, and Feng Ji and the coachman sat outside to catch the car.

Ji Yunyun asked Chun Tao to hand a handkerchief to Qi Cheng to wipe the rain from his hair.

"Where did Miss Ji go, why are you still outside so late, and you haven't brought an escort yet? I remember that the Guogong Mansion is not now forbidden to the girls in the mansion to be alone. Qi Cheng wiped the rain off his body, frowned and asked Ji Yunyun, who was sitting opposite.

"It's something wrong to come out." I didn't want outsiders to know about the affairs in the house, so Ji Yunyun replied to him vaguely.

Qi Cheng asked, "Why do you need a girl to be outside so late?" ”

“…… You ask so much what to do, you should thank me, if it weren't for me, you would still be in the rain. Ji Yunyun was not happy with him and asked, and said.

"If someone else stops a carriage on the side of the road, if you have any bad intentions, you will take a coachman and a maid, and you don't know what will happen." Qi Cheng said with a cold face.

Ji Yunyun choked, obviously he helped him, why didn't he not only not thank him, as if he had done something wrong?

"Good intentions are not rewarded, and good hearts are not known." Ji Yunyun glared at him, muttered angrily, and then turned his head and stopped talking.

Qi Cheng also had a cold face, leaning against the wall of the car behind him with his arms folded.

Neither of them spoke, and the carriage was quiet, except for the sound of rain outside. Chun Tao looked at her girl and Shizi suspiciously, and felt that the two seemed to be ...... Anger?

When I entered the capital, it was just getting dark, and the rain was gradually subsiding. Ji Yunyun lifted the curtain and looked outside, and instructed the coachman: "Stop in front and let Shizi get out of the car." ”

Qi Cheng also lifted the curtain and looked at it, but said, "No, I'll get out of the car when I get to the gate of the Guogong Mansion." ”

Ji Yunyun looked at him in surprise with wide eyes, "What are you doing in the Guogong Mansion?" ”

"I'll send you home first, what will happen to you in the province." Qi Cheng lowered his eyes and said lightly.

…… The few things that happened to her were not caused by him. Ji Yunyun snorted lightly, didn't say anything, and lowered the curtain.

The carriage stopped when it didn't reach the Guogong Mansion, after all, Ji Yunyun didn't want the people in the mansion to see Shizi in her carriage.

Qi Cheng stood at the corner of the street not far from the Guogong Mansion, watching Ji Yunyun get down from the carriage and be welcomed into the gate by the little guy at the door, before turning around and leaving with Feng Ji.

As soon as Ji Yunyun entered the gate, Ji Yunting greeted him in a hurry, waved away the people around him, and whispered anxiously: "Sister, you are back, how is it, have you found anyone?" ”

"I found it, it's already decided, just go and get the Jade Buddha in a month." Ji Yunyun patted him on the shoulder comfortingly and said?

Ji Yunting breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed his sister's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are really my savior." ”

"Just this time, if you get into trouble in the future, I won't be helping you." The green white fingertips tapped his brother's head, and Ji Yunyun said with a straight face.

"No, no, I promise I won't get into trouble again." Ji Yunting raised his palms and swore solemnly.

After a few days, Ji Yunyun wanted to see how the jade Buddha was carved, so he found a day with good weather, and took the spring peach out of the house under the pretext of going to his uncle's house.
