Ji Yanran was worried, and Tang Qian came back to deliver the letter.

"Sixth Master Ran, Prince Chengen, Second Master Lin and Third Master Lu were all sent to the prison of the Criminal Department."

Ji Yanran nodded, this is also similar to what she expected, according to the laws of the Wu Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with Ran Liu, and they will be released after a few days.

The important thing is Li Yong.

Ji Yanran said: "What about the third master? ”

Tang Qiandao: "The third master followed the two guards out and went to Dali Temple, and then he disappeared, and no one from the imperial court came to pass the message," he couldn't help but be a little anxious when he said, "Could the third master be ...... ......"

"What's the panic," Ji Yanran said, "If the officers and soldiers have already arrived at the Li family by now that they are convicted, can we still sit here and talk in a dignified manner?" Since we're fine, there won't be any problems on the third master's side. ”

Hearing this, Tang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Yanran then asked, "What's going on over there?" ”

Tang Qiandao: "I've been in the yamen all the time, just like on weekdays." ”

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Ji Yanran instructed Tang Qian: "You go to Dali Temple and wait for the third master." ”

Tang Qian nodded: "Do you want to arrange a few more people to go over to the uncle outside the city?" ”

Ji Yanran thought for a moment and said, "No, I'll send my brother to Jiangnan tomorrow." ”

Tang Qian answered and walked out.

Rong's mother was a little worried: "Is the third master really okay over there?" ”

"I don't know," Ji Yanran said, "No matter how careful the arrangement is, there may be mistakes, not to mention who can understand the emperor's thoughts." ”

Rong's mother said, "So what now?" ”

"Keep going," Ji Yanran took a sip of tea and moistened her throat, "You can't do anything before and after, since you think about it, there is no reason to quit halfway." ”

The emperor did not send both the Li family and the Ji family to prison, so she naturally had to do everything she could do during this time.

Just thinking of this, the next person came to announce: "The Marquis of Yongchang Mansion sent a post to invite the third grandmother to come over for a banquet." ”

Look, it's not someone who has already come to the door.

Ji Yanran instructed Rong's mother: "Choose a gift from the library and follow me to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion." ”

……

Xie Yan sat on the chair and slowly tasted the wine brewed by Wanjia.

The wine made by the new wine-making method is obviously more refined, and after drinking it, you will feel that other wines are as light as water, and Wanjia will make such wine under Ji's guidance, but Ji's did not take the opportunity to open a wine shop with Wanjia, such a profitable business Ji does not do, which makes him feel very interesting.

Ji seems to have deliberately made himself look less conspicuous.

This is the first time that after Princess Changning died, he found someone worthy of his careful consideration, which is really interesting.

With that proverb back then, he can act unscrupulously and without scruples about anything. I have to say that the person who came up with that proverb was very insightful.

"Keep an eye on it," Xie Yan instructed the people around him, "Li Yong is now detained in Dali Temple, the Ji family is lonely, who can help her, so that after a long time, she will definitely become more and more anxious, and people will do wrong things when they are in a hurry." ”

Xie Yan watched the Ji family's carriage gallop all the way to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

……

The carriage stopped in front of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, and Ji Yanran was taken to the flower hall by his subordinates.

Mrs. Yongchang Hou asked people to prepare tea and talked to Ji Yanran with a smile.

It seems that everything is no different from usual, but there are no other guests in the Hou Mansion.

Ji Yanran guessed the intention of Mrs. Yongchanghou, put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Madame asked me to come, do you have something to say?" ”

Mrs. Hou of Yongchang said: "Master Hou went to the palace for a trip, and when he came back, he asked me to invite you to the banquet, and I didn't say anything else," Speaking of this, her gaze was deeper, "Do you know the reason?" ”

Ji Yanran shook her head: "Madame doesn't know, how can I know." ”

Mrs. Yongchang Hou seemed to be very disappointed: "So we are all in the dark, did Li Sanye say anything to you?" ”

Ji Yanran bit her lip, but she still said firmly: "No." ”

Mrs. Yongchanghou's eyes flashed, and she was about to ask another question, when Ji Yanran raised her head: "Madame heard that no, the situation in the north is not good this year, but I am afraid that I will not receive much grain." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Yongchang frowned slightly: "I heard about it, I hope it will rain early, so that there will be no harvest." ”

"I have something I want to give to Master Hou." Ji Yanran said and looked at Rong's mother.

Mother Rong handed a scroll-like thing and a box to Mrs. Yongchanghou.

Mrs. Yongchang Hou was a little curious: "What is this?" ”

Ji Yanran's eyes were full of eagerness: "Mrs. Haojiao knows, this is the only thing I can come up with, if anything happens in the future, Master Hou and Mrs. must not forget this painting." ”

After saying this, Ji Yanran got up and said goodbye.

"Wait a minute," said Mrs. Yongchanghou, "since you have sent something, let me take a look at it first." ”

Ji Yanran said: "It's not a valuable thing, Madam just accept it, if the Hou Ye thinks it's useless, you can send someone to return it to me." ”

After Ji Yanran left, Mrs. Yongchanghou sent her things to the study, and Yongchanghou had been waiting there for a long time.

"That's it," Mrs. Yongchang said, "I can see that the Ji family is very worried about Li Yong, is this Li Yong really locked up?" ”

Marquis Yongchang shook his head: "The emperor didn't say anything clearly, the news I inquired about only entered Dali Temple and didn't come out." ”

What kind of chess is the emperor playing, and where should he stand?

Anyway, he still looked at the things sent by the Ji clan first, and Yongchang Hou thought of this and slowly unfolded the painting.

This is a freshly painted ink painting with several large boats swimming upriver on a wide river.

Mrs. Yongchang Hou only thinks that the color of this painting is just right, the brushwork is not very detailed, there is still a big gap compared to those who are famous, the most eye-catching is the big boat on the river, why would Grandma Li San send such a painting.

Yongchang Hou's gaze stayed on the painting for a while, his expression became more and more serious, and his hand even trembled slowly: "This is the Beiren Gate." ”

"What?" Mrs. Yongchang Hou was a little puzzled, "What does Beirenmen mean?" ”

"The canal that began to be built in the previous dynasty will inevitably pass through the Sanmen Danger, one of which is the Beirenmen, where the ship will often capsize, but if such a big boat is used, the people will be supported on the boat, and then arrange the people to carry the fiber on the shore, it is possible to pass through the Sanmenxia smoothly."

was said by Yongchang Hou, and Mrs. Yongchang Hou saw that there were dozens of slender men struggling to pull fiber on the shore on the painting.

"This ...... That's what it is...... Ji's painting? ”

Before Mrs. Yongchanghou finished speaking, Yongchanghou had already opened the box next to her, and a big ship immediately came into view.

The wooden skewers used to build the ship have turned black and in some places are even broken, and one can imagine that someone has touched the hull thousands of times, showing how much hope was placed on the ship.

This is what the Ji family wants to give him.

Yongchanghou looked at the painting again, unable to speak for a long time.

Mrs. Yongchang Hou said, "Do you want to return this thing to Grandma Li San?" ”

Yongchang Hou shook his head: "No...... I...... I'm going to the south of the Yangtze River, I'm going to see the precipitous Three Gorges again, and I'm going to leave immediately without further ado. ”

Mrs. Yongchang was stunned.

……

Ji Yanran came out of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and rushed into the Fukang Courtyard, and waited until it was dark to take people back to Li's house.

She has to arrange everything calmly and try her best to keep everything on the right track, so that the emperor will believe Li Yong's words.

She can analyze these calmly, except for the worry about Li Yong's situation.

"Third grandmother."

"Third grandmother."

She thought about walking forward, and it took a while to come back to her senses, it turned out that it was Rong's mother calling her.

Ji Yanran turned her head blankly.

Mother Rong nodded to her, but she still didn't understand what was wrong.

Mother Rong had to open her mouth to remind: "Third grandmother, the sect chief is here." ”

It turned out to be the fourth uncle.

Only then did Ji Yanran come back to her senses, turned her head and found Li Yue's figure.

"Fourth uncle." She stepped forward to salute.

Li Yue didn't reply for a long time, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look over, Li Yue was still bright-eyed, but the expression on his face was more serious than usual, not that kind of worry and anxiety, but ...... As if a little angry.
