was walked to the wrong door, met an aunt selling vegetables on the road, and the peaceful life seemed to have been broken, Ji Rongjin wondered if he had touched something recently, should he go and worship God?

A yellow woman, wearing a coarse cloth gown, swayed on a small donkey, as if no one cared.

Ji Rongjin still ignored it, what she thought was low-key hidden in the market, it couldn't stand scrutiny at all, no one paid attention to it, once it attracted people's attention, the free and equal atmosphere she was cultivated by modern civilization and material is fundamentally different from the current little lady, and it is difficult for people to ignore.

After a night of drunkenness, he slept until noon, and Yan Tao woke up from last night's hangover, packed up and took the carriage back home.

Kang Tai didn't expect to meet the little lady next door to the courtyard of Osmanthus Lane, riding a little donkey, and saw it at a glance, he thought that the little lady would come over to say hello, but who knew that she nodded and avoided it.

"......" Kang Tai glanced at the pedestrians on the street, are they so unnoticed? Shaking his head with a smile, his eyes inadvertently swept behind the little lady, and he couldn't help but straighten the reins, and the guard saw that the head was alert, and hurriedly leaned over, "Chief guard, what's wrong?" ”

Yan Tao heard the sound outside, stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the car, and looked at Kang Tai's gaze, on the bustling street, someone quietly pulled out the crowd: "Who is it?" ”

Hearing the master's voice, Kang Tai hurriedly approached and replied, "Someone is following Ji Niangzi next door." ”

Ji Niangzi? Yan Tao looked into the distance, a woman riding a small donkey, he seemed to remember something: "She was the one who rode the donkey on the street that day?" ”

Kang Tai was stunned, "Yes, master." ”

It turned out that on the day I returned to Beijing, it was Ji Niangzi who rode a donkey slowly in the snow, except for going to the wrong door, they had already met on the street, and it was really fate.

"Master, the appointment of King Zhao at night?"

Hearing this, Yan Tao had a headache, since everyone wanted to see him, they simply saw them all.

Seeing that the master agreed, Kang Tai hurriedly waved the carriage, "Go back to the palace first, let the prince rest for a while." ”

"Wait." Yan Tao asked, "My cousin is still in the palace?" ”

"Yes, sir."

Yan Tao pinched his eyebrows, "Go with her, go to Osmanthus Lane, and go to see the second brother in the evening." ”

"Yes, lord."

No one spoke of the little donkey being stalked again, and the low-key and luxurious carriage sparkled away and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

It was difficult to get a trip to the city center, Ji Rongjin was not in a hurry to go back, found a small restaurant, bought a bowl of dumplings, and simply ate some.

Glutinous pasta, ancient boiled pasta, the name comes from Jia Sixian's "Qi Min Yao Shu Cake Method": "Glutinous food, like a big finger, two inches and one break, soaked in a basin of water." It is advisable to use your hands to the side of the basin to make it very thin, and boil it over a hot fire. It's not straight white and cute, but it's also very beautiful." It's similar to modern noodle soup.

Eat warm shopping, fill the two empty baskets, usually use food, and buy a lot of festival supplies for the New Year.

I didn't come back until the evening, and I was just about to enter the hospital when I opened the door, and someone came out of the courtyard door.

When I turned my head, it was the young noble boy who ate her mutton soup, the last time I was in the house, on the one hand, I was worried about the house, and on the other hand, the windows of the ancient room were not glass, and the light was not so good, so I didn't pay attention to what it looked like.

Now in the daytime, dusk is approaching, the courtyard gate is facing east, and the glow of the west mountain pours down from the eaves, falling on the noble son in brocade clothes and jade clothes, as if plated with a layer of hazy light and shadow, more and more lined with his posture is straight, and his demeanor is particularly beautiful, as if he is a fairy descending to earth.

The two looked at each other.

Ji Rongjin smiled, for a person who knows but is not familiar with it, this is the most appropriate way to be polite.

Yan Tao swept his eyes, then withdrew his gaze, bent down and got into the carriage with his hands in his hand, sat down, leaned back, looked through the carriage door, and looked at all beings.

Many times, people lean back in the chair to show some kind of arrogance, and have always estimated that his status is not low, but at this moment it is clear that the word 'estimate' is removed, and his status is indeed not low.

turned out to be her neighbor, slightly pulling the corners of her mouth and moving her eyes, and when she met the Kang steward, she smiled again and was polite.

After being polite, she pulled the little donkey into the courtyard to make way for others.

When the door was sewn shut, it was a coincidence that the noble boy met her again through the carriage window.

With a strong pair of hands, the door closed, blocking the curious gaze.

In the past three years, I heard that the courtyard has changed hands twice, but except for an old couple, there is no one else, and I didn't expect it to be a noble son's courtyard.

It is said that the courtyard of the rich in the capital generally has two functions, one is for the daughter to dowry, and the other is for the man to raise a concubine outside, does this noble son want to raise a concubine?

Maybe!

This possibility only flashed in Ji Rongjin's mind, as long as it didn't disturb her life, it had nothing to do with her.

It was already dark when she had put her things away, so she made a simple dinner and ate it with the cats and dogs, not knowing that someone had followed her all the way to the alley and watched her enter the yard.

The winter night was quiet, before going to bed, Ji Rongjin hid the 1,000 taels of silver tickets he got today in a secret place, and took the account book in front of the bed, the New Year is about to begin, a small courtyard in the north of the city, and a small shop by the river in the east city are also about to expire, and he wants to talk to the tenant about the rental situation next year.

Her income doesn't seem to be difficult, that is, she sells bean sprouts every once in a while, collects the rent of a room and a shop, and occasionally sells one or two recipes, which is enough for her to live a simple life alone.

In fact, she can not sell bean sprouts, but staying at home all day will be derailed from society, she still insists on going to the vegetable market, and she has not been going recently, because she can't make bean sprouts in winter because of the natural temperature, she is too lazy to get them, so she should give herself a holiday.

The real income is one room and one shop, more than 100 taels of silver per year, which is enough for the commoners of the Great Xia Dynasty to live, and they can even save pension money.

The next day, because she had to talk about collecting rent, Ji Rongjin didn't sleep too long, got up early to make breakfast, and after eating, she rode her little donkey and set off.

First go to the Dongcheng shop, the shop is not big, rented to a homeless people from the north, they do the middle and dinner business, more than a year, with sincere craftsmanship, slowly have repeat customers, business is not bad.

Ji Rongjin didn't plan to increase the rent, it depends on whether they want to expand their business and change shops, if they want to expand, it is estimated that they will not rent, if they don't want to, then it will be the same, and she doesn't have to bother to rent again.

As she expected, the tenant had plans to change shops, but he didn't dare to expand blindly, so he continued to rent, "East...... Owner, you're not going to raise the rent, are you? ”

Tenants are still worried.

Ji Rongjin smiled, "As long as you continue to rent, it won't go up." "If they don't rent, she'll go up.

The tenant was very happy to hear this, and wanted to keep her for lunch.

"No, I have something to do." Continue to the next station.
