Zhu Xiuxiu's words are simply a word to wake up the dreamer!

"Xiuxiu's words are reasonable!"

Ji Youyuan pondered again and again and nodded, "When Sui Sui comes back, I will tell her about it!" ”

Then the people dispersed.

It was getting dark, and Ji Youzhi received the news and returned to Ji's house with a middle-aged man.

"Big brother!"

Ji Youyuan stood at the gate of Old Madam Ji's courtyard and waited, glancing at the middle-aged man with a faint look in his eyes.

"Just say what you know, Hugh has to add fuel and vinegar, and don't talk nonsense, otherwise!"

He reached out and gently severed a branch.

The man trembled and said, "The villain knows, don't worry, the eldest son!" ”

Mrs. Ji was sitting in the flower hall, followed by Mama Zhang, and they were making a small belly pocket for the child in Wang Dongxue's belly.

"It's not early, and your eyes can't see the stitches clearly, so you can rest early!"

Mama Zhang put away the sewing basket, and when she heard Mrs. Ji's suppressed cough, she couldn't bear it, but she still didn't say anything.

He poured her a glass of water and said, "The eldest prince has been standing in the courtyard for a while, and he will come in later, so you can take a pill that suppresses cough!" ”

Old Madam Ji nodded when she heard this, took the medicine box out by herself, and took a pill, which allowed Mama Zhang to leave.

Mama Zhang came out of the house and met Ji Youzhi and others, she saluted very decently, and then went to Qinxin Garden with interest.

"Son, please give my mother!"

As soon as Ji Youzhi and Ji Youyuan entered, they greeted Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji sat on the throne and said with a smile, "It doesn't have to be like this, it's not for the New Year's Festival, what are these etiquettes talking about?"

Ji Youyuan and Ji Youzhi smiled and said, "Gifts cannot be wasted!" ”

"Mother! This is Yuan Yifan, my sister's affairs, he knows something. ”

Old Madam Ji looked Yuan Yifan up and down, squinted her eyes and looked at it several times, but she always felt that she couldn't see it really, so she said.

"Palm Lamp!"

Ji Youyuan did so, and Mrs. Ji really looked at the other party.

Yuan Yifan is a loyal and honest man, he looks like a practitioner, he has rough skin on his face, and he is a person who has been exposed to the wind and sun outside for many years.

The clothes on the body were not coarse linen clothes, but they were not silk satin either.

It's just a little better than the poor in general.

Luo Yifan couldn't help but reach out and wipe the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead.

was looked at by Mrs. Ji and knelt down.

"The villain Yuan Yifan has seen the old lady, the old lady Wanfu Jin'an."

"Don't be so gifted, the old body can't stand it, Yuan Zhuangshi is like this, it's torturing the old body."

After Mrs. Ji finished speaking, she didn't see Yuan Yifan get up.

She said to Ji You, "Let him get up!" Look at him like this, how can he talk to me well? ”

Ji Youzhi reached out and grabbed Yuan Yifan's hand and lifted it up, and lifted the person up on the Taishi chair in the guest seat.

Yuan Yifan was shocked and hurriedly got up, not wanting Ji Youzhi to stand next to him, pressing his shoulder, making him unable to move!

"Where is Yuan Zhuangshi from?"

Yuan Yifan replied at a loss: "The villain is from Xun'an County!" ”

Old Madam Ji nodded and asked again.

"Do you know Cier?"

Yuan Yifan nodded, "The old lady said that she was a virtuous brother and daughter-in-law Ji Xi'er, right?" ”

Old Madam Ji was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she didn't nod or shake her head, but continued to ask.

"How did you meet my family?"

Yuan Yifan told the truth.

"She is the wife of my virtuous brother, a very smart and virtuous woman, rare in the world!"

"Tell me about your acquaintance with my family!"

Old Madam Ji leaned herself on the back of the Taishi's chair.

His eyes looked at Yuan Yifan fixedly.

Yuan Yifan hurriedly responded.

"When the villain met the virtuous brother and sister."

"Call her Miss Cier!"

Ji Youyuan stood aside and reminded him lightly.

Yuan Yifan hurriedly changed his words.

"The villain knew Miss Xi'er when he went out of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau in Xun'an County on the way to the Muta River."

"Muta River?"

This name doesn't look like a place name in the Central Plains!

Ji Youzhi hurriedly explained, "The name of the place in the north is out of Korea, a small marginal city in the northern abyss!" ”

Mrs. Ji nodded, "No wonder I didn't find her after looking for so many places back then, it turned out that she actually went north, I chased her to the west for three days, there was no trace of her, and I chased it towards the south of Xinjiang, and it was more than half a month to chase her, and then I came back, and her traces were all dealt with!" ”

Mrs. Ji couldn't stand it anymore, and her heart hurt so much!

"Mother! You ......"

Ji Youyuan was about to say something to comfort Mrs. Ji, but she raised her hand to stop him.

"Yuan Zhuangshi, you go on!"

Yuan Yifan nodded, and the person fell into deep thought.

"It's not a secret, in fact, before we went out of the Dart Muta River to meet Miss Ciel, we already knew that there was Miss Ciel."

Old Madam Ji couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and looked at him with sharp eyes.

"The whole story?"

"The old lady doesn't know that Miss Xi'er's husband Li Qi is a brother who works together in the same dart game, and he and I look at the age difference, but we are also friends for the year.

I still remember that when Li Qi first arrived at the dart game, he was still a little bean ding, he knelt in front of the door of the Weiyuan dart game and begged to take him in, willing to do chores for the dart game, no money.

Huo Lao Darthead of the Dart Bureau saw that he had good bones, so he accepted him in, and let him do miscellaneous work for a period of time to test his heart, and finally he passed, so he was accepted as an apprentice by Huo Lao Dart.

Li Qi is a smart child, diligent and studious, and has a good talent for martial arts, but there is one thing, he never tells us about his family affairs.

We only know that his family is from Baiyun Town, but the specifics are not clear, every time the brothers and sisters want to write a letter to the family to report safety, he never writes.

When we asked him, he said that no one in the family was literate, and it was useless to write, so we said, "If you write, they can find someone who can read and write to help you read and think."

He shook his head and said nothing.

Later, in the past few years, our brothers and sisters have traveled to many places in the north and south.

It was about seven years ago in the summer, when the government released the list, and he stood under the notice for a long time without moving his feet.

I joked and said: You kid is in a daze, don't you want to change your career and abandon martial arts and take the liberal arts examination?

He shook his head and smiled lightly, only saying that the notice had his brother named Li Yu on it, and we were all happy for him.

He said he wanted to go home and see, and my brothers and I bought big bags of gifts to go with him, but he refused.

Li Qi never talked about family affairs, and the other brothers were nothing, so they left when they saw that he didn't want to.

But I thought to myself, this kid never talks about family affairs, and he usually sees him in a certain way, and I am afraid that I am not a rich family when I want to come to the house, and I am afraid that we will rely on his family if we say it, right?

So he quietly followed.

This is a bad thing, my martial arts are not as good as him, and he found out on the way, so he put a match, and he went directly to Baiyun Mountain.

I knew something bad at a glance, Li Qi found out about my tracking, I wanted to continue to keep up, but I was afraid of destroying the brotherhood, I didn't want to keep up, the mountains were dangerous, I hesitated for a long time, but I still followed.

In the distance, there was a cry for help, a girl's thrilling cry for help. ”

"It's Ci'er!"

After Yuan Yifan said this, Mrs. Ji couldn't help it, and she matched what Ji Youyuan told her before.

"That's right, it's Miss Ciel!

She is in danger of being entangled in a thigh-thick python.

I was frightened at the time, and before I could react, I saw Li Qi pull out the scimitar on his waist and step forward to save people.

Later, after several twists and turns, we were able to save the person without danger, and the python was also killed, but Miss Ciel was also frightened.

She looked at Li Qi timidly, no matter what we asked her, she didn't speak, almost wherever Li Qi went, she would follow her.

I was worried if she was scared stupid, so Li Qi said let me leave first, and he talked to Miss Xi'er alone, asked her where she lived, and sent people back.

Li Qi almost coaxed for more than an hour before Miss Xi'er spoke and told her own address, and then it was dark before Li Qi sent the person back. ”

Mrs. Ji closed her eyes and nodded, "Xi'er is usually lazy, she sits at home in front of the windowsill and looks at the flowers and plants in the yard, and she can sit still for a long time, so if she is not at home, go out for a walk or something, she will also find a big stone slab and sit for a long time, and she will not come back if the sun does not set."

So that time she didn't come home until almost dark, and it was also my negligence.

But according to what the strong man said, Li Qi should have been out for a long time, and he didn't return home for a long time, how could Xi'er meet you when you went out to the Muta River?

What did she say to you after she met you? ”

Hearing Mrs. Ji's question, Yuan Yifan showed a wry smile on his face.

"It's not a secret, in fact, the reason why Li Qi was able to ask Miss Xi'er's address and send her back that day was that Li Qi assured her that in the future, even if the two were thousands of miles apart, they would be able to communicate through letters.

In the future, Li Qi can exchange letters with her as agreed. ”

When Mrs. Ji heard this, the whole person was silent.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and shook his head bitterly with a bitter smile.

"I see, no wonder she was happy for a long time every time she received a letter that year, and she was in a very good mood."

Ji Youyuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

"And if you guessed correctly, you didn't notice that Xi'er read the letter wrongly, I'm afraid that she already knew too much about the way and time of her son's and younger brothers' letters, so she asked Li Qi to write her letters at the time and way we wrote the letters."

Old Madam Ji nodded, "That's right, this kid is too smart, and all this cleverness is used to deal with her mother." ”

The smile on his face was proud and bitter.

"Mother! Don't be too sad, Xi'er doesn't want you to be like this in the sky, if she knows that her nonsense has caused you to be sad after so many years, she will definitely be sad too! ”

Ji Youyuan's persuasion did not make Mrs. Ji feel much better.

"Mother is fine, mother is happy, this child's intelligence has been passed on to Sui Sui."

She nodded, affirmatively, "Yes!" It's all given to the year! ”

"And then!"

Ji Youzhi couldn't see his wife sad, so he hurriedly asked.

Yuan Yifan was also very uncomfortable in his heart, he was a brother for many years, and his younger siblings who had been with him for more than a year finally got such an ending, he was really embarrassed.

Later, the old lady must have guessed that Miss Xi'er and Li Qi passed books to each other, complained to each other, and they promised each other for life!

Time passed quickly, and we made several small darts in a row, not far away, but Li Qi was able to find some strange things to send to Miss Xi'er.

Later, we had to go out of the Muta River, which was to a neighboring country, and during that time, there was a lot of chaos in the Muta River, and we all knew very well that the dart was very dangerous. ”

"Isn't every dart you dart dangerous?

Why did you say the previous darts lightly, but this dart you said so dangerously? ”

Ji Youzhi felt that this dart was a little hidden.

So he interrupted him and hurriedly asked.

Hearing Ji Youzhi's question, Yuan Yifan instantly became embarrassed.

There was also a faint sweat on his forehead.

"Say!"

Ji Youzhi slapped the table hard, and the teacup on the table shook so much that the ping-pong rang non-stop.

Yuan Yifan hurriedly reached out to wipe his sweat!

"You said, this matter is out of your mouth and into our ears, no matter what you escorted back then, this matter will not reach the ears of the government."

As soon as Mrs. Ji said this, Yuan Yifan couldn't help but look at Ji Youzhi, and he was worried in his heart, now it is rumored that he is the living king of Hades.

Even the head of the household department and the province of Zhongshu moved him down overnight.

Even the prime ministers on the left and right are afraid that the official hat will not be guaranteed at any time!

"Don't worry, the strong man crawled out of the old body's stomach, and the old body let him press down on this matter, presumably he will still give the old body some face!"

As soon as Mrs. Ji said this, Yuan Yifan was a little relieved.

"Yes! And so the villain spoke. ”

Yuan Yifan took a deep breath, took a sip of tea from the teacup and suppressed the shock, and then continued to speak.

"The things we escorted, on the surface, were some table salt and ceramic vessels, but in fact, they were only one-tenth."

"And what is the other tenth?"

Old Madam Ji hurriedly asked.

"It's pig iron, and some half-finished armor weapons!"

Everyone in the room took a hard breath.

Old Madam Ji heard that her whole person was not good.

Hurriedly asked: "How can Weiyuan Dart Bureau bet on such a dart?" That's a job that costs heads! ”

Yuan Yifan reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

He also said it when he had no choice.

But when he said this this time, he wasn't as scared as he was when he first talked to the eighth prince!

"Yes! The things we escorted, if they were found by the government, it was indeed a head-off business, so Huo Lao Dart asked us all to write letters to our relatives and stay in the dart bureau, as long as we didn't mention the matter of the dart, we could send it to our family as a last letter.

Li Qi's last letter was written, and it was addressed to Miss Xi'er.

We set off the same day, but what we didn't expect was that ten days after we set off, Miss Ciel caught up.

Li Qi asked her to go back......"
