Chapter Fifty-Five

trick

"Nonsense." After Jiji ceremony, Qin Jun lit incense in the ancestral hall, took off the complicated brocade clothes and sat opposite Li Yezhen.

Qin Jun smiled, picked up a sunspot and put it on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Jin Xiu and mother are sisters, I should call you Auntie Xiu, it would be best for her to do the gift of combing hair."

Li Yezhen shook his head, stroked his beard and put a word on the chessboard.

Outside the ancestral hall, Ji Si came to look for Jin Xiu with a secret letter on her fingertips, "Where is Jinxiu?"

Jin Xiu glanced at the door, wiped away the wet traces from the corners of her eyes, turned around and strode outside, "What's the matter?"

Ji Si sized her up and handed her a secret letter on her fingertips, "The secret guards will investigate and deal with it. There are at least this number around the palace."

Jin Xiu unfolded the letter, and there were several black dots marked on the letter, which should be where Xi Jiang was ambush at the moment.

"If it wasn't for you, why would the princess be entangled by these people." Jin Xiu blamed.

Ji Si was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, bowed gracefully towards Jin Xiu, "I'm not a slave."

Jin Xiu sighed: "Forget it, it's not my fault, I actually agreed to her going to Qinglou Qiongyuan, but I don't know how the empress will blame me in the future."

Ji Si put back her smile and said casually, "Let's do business first."

Jin Xiu: "What does the princess mean?"

"You can't take his life. Send people to follow him to find out his origin. You can do it in secret, and you will do it yourself." Ji Si said.

Jin Xiu nodded, "No."

Ji Si nodded, telling her to memorize the contents of the letter, took the secret letter away and held it in her hand, twirling her fingers.After a while, Ji Si opened her hand again, and the paper turned into light sand, which leaked out of Ji Si's hand like a galaxy.

"In less than half a year, your internal strength has been exhausted." Complex emotions flashed across Jin Xiu's eyes for a moment.

Ji Si: "I treat my master with the same sincerity."

In the evening, the sky shone warmly.

When Qin Jun returned to the villa, Ji Si carefully took a chessboard and cared for her all the way.

Ji Si: "When did master fall in love with chess?"

Qin Jun smiled, Ji Si was holding the chessboard, and she followed beside, touching the chessboard occasionally, looking like she couldn't put it down, and she was still shaking it when she went back to the room to wash up.

Qin Jun: "It was a gift from my grandfather. I asked about it. It is an old thing of Li Shengren, and it is worth a lot of money."

Ji Si smiled, knelt down on one side, took off Qin Jun's bun, and gently rubbed her temples, "Master, do you have anything to say?"

"What are you talking about?" Qin Jun slid down and found a comfortable position to lie on Ji Si's lap, holding a chess book in his hand, flipping through it without turning his eyes, "What's the matter?"

Ji Si bowed her head, pushed aside the book in Qin Jun's hand with one hand, and met her eyes, and lifted Qin Jun's jaw with the other hand, and met her gaze.

Qin Jun's long eyelashes flickered, and she was suddenly disturbed by the commotion outside the door.

A group of maidservants brought in for a supper, were serving dishes in the cubicle, their eyes wandered, and they saw two silhouettes reflected by the lamps and candles on the screen—the profiles of Ji Si and Qin Jun were approaching constantly.

Ji Si: "Go down."

The maidservants in the side room stopped suddenly, lowered their heads and ignored indecent insults, and left the room as quickly as water.

Qin Jun looked sideways: "No..."

"Princess." Ji Si twirled Qin Jun's jaw with her fingertips, and the red tide spread from Qin Jun's neck to the earlobe. Ji Si took a closer look, and then her lips moved, opened and closed slightly, as if she was hungry and thirsty.

Qin Jun: "..."

She wants to kiss me.

This thought crossed his mind, and Qin Jun raised his hand to cover his mouth forcefully like a conditioned reflex, "No!"

Ji Si: "I know, I have overstepped."

Qin Jun: "..."

"Don't be like this... Do you want to get married in the future?" Qin Jun said, turning her head unnaturally, thinking to herself, I haven't forgotten that you have an affair with Qin Kuang and third brother in the book.

Besides...the Sixth Princess and your brother still have a marriage relationship in name only. If there is a war in the future, your brother will still ask to marry.

Sister-in-law and siblings...

Qin Jun's face turned into a ball of fire. From the kiss in the daytime, she felt that Ji Si's jokes in the past seemed to have two parts of sincerity.

but……

"Are you hungry?" Ji Si gently took Qin Jun's hand away, and Qin Jun was covering it tightly, but that strength was not equal to Ji Si's one finger.

Qin Jun swallowed nervously, "Yes."

Ji Si: "The slave serves the master's meals."

Ji Si lifted Qin Jun up and walked to the table before putting it down.

Qin Jun: "...I can walk by myself."

Ji Si said, "Aren't you tired of kneeling in the ancestral hall today?"

Worshiping the ancestral hall, not to mention burning incense and taking a bath beforehand, hundreds of people from the Li family's ancestors lit the lanterns to offer incense, and Qin Jun became tired when he persisted halfway through.

"Thank you." Qin Jun said unnaturally.

Ji Si remained silent, and gave her vegetables with chopsticks, tasting everything by herself before letting Qin Jun eat.

"No need to try it." Qin Jun said.

Ji Si: "It's a slave who is greedy."

Qin Jun: "... sit down and eat together."

After supper, Qin Jun and Ji Si went to dig a salt well in the back mountain together.

In summer night, the mountains were foggy late at night, Qin Jun put on a thin cloak and looked at the working pounding tool with Jiang Chaosheng.

"How deep was the chisel."

Jiang Chaosheng yawned: "Five meters."

Qin Jun: "..."

Ji Si: "Slow down."

At the salt well, a person stood beside the two high-speed iron frames. One of them fixed the chisel, and the other stood on the connection between the chisel and the lever. Every time the chisel was stepped on, the chisel was deeply embedded in the soil, breaking rocks and piercing rocks.

Qin Jun: "When will the second gear come out?"

Jiang Chaosheng: "It will take a few more days. Even without the manpower, it will take a month or two, and the rock formation will become harder and harder as it goes down."

Qin Jun: "In this way, we can't chisel wider."

Jiang Chaosheng: "The well is drilled too big, and the brine gas is easy to disperse. The well head only needs to be the size of this iron cone, and the small bowl can be covered."

Qin Jun nodded: "Leave it to the master."

Jiang Chaosheng nodded, the group left, and went to see the salt room. The salt room had already prepared a lot of needs, and the salt could be made immediately after the brine came out in the well, but this process may take several months.

As the scorching heat came, Yanyun Villa reduced the number of people going out. The Jiangbei was hot, and many places continued to suffer from drought and heat.

Summer is hard, and apart from paying attention to Yanjing, Qin Jun occasionally goes to Jiangnan to play with Ji Si on cloudy and rainy days.

Jiangnan and Jiangbei are like two seasons, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, full of rich and precious sons who go boating and swimming in the lake.

Ji Si held a lantern with the word He in it in her hand, touched the ground with her toes, and turned around to hang the lantern on the beam.Then he looked around, set off firecrackers with a long pole at the door, and it was considered a new house.

"He's family?" The neighbors came out one after another to see.

Xiaotao smiled, and scattered a few red envelopes from the basket on her arm, "My son is a businessman from Shangjing, and I came to Jiangnan to find a place to stay on the way. I hope you can help me later."

Everyone tore open the red seal and poured out two copper plates.

Xiaotao: "My master's surname is Buddha. This copper plate is used to exchange the remaining gold and silver for the Bodhisattva's golden body. The neighbor accepts it, and it is right to receive a blessing of peace and prosperity!"

"Have the door plaque and lantern been hung up?" Qin Jun put down her pen and held up the letter paper to blow ink on it.

Xiaotao reluctantly followed Ji Si into the room, put the empty plates in his hands, and sat aside in anger.

Qin Jun looked sideways: "What's the matter?"

Xiaotao snorted.

Ji Si took the letter in Qin Jun's hand, scanned the ten lines at a glance, and saw that the address of He's family left by Qin Jun at the end of the article was the newly rented house.

Ji Si put the letter aside and prepared letter paper and wax for Qin Jun.

Qin Jun coaxed Xiaotao: "Rent a small house in Jiangnan, and it will be rare to do business in the future. Jiangnan and Jiangbei will run away?"

Xiao Taozi: "It's fine to rent a house, why bother to spend money!"

"Two copper coins..." Before Qin Jun finished speaking, Xiao Taozi gave her a sideways glance. She had no choice but to change her words, "Moving is a happy event. When I moved into the palace that day, didn't the lord give away the rewards to the palace people?"

Little Taozi murmured: "What's more, we arrived first, but Byakugan ignored us, and the one who delivered the princess to Jiang Prefecture later will be the one who deserves the reward!"

Qin Jun coughed lightly and waved to Ji Si, "Look and see."

Ji Si felt around her body, but couldn't find a copper coin.

Qin Jun: "..."

Little Taozi: "..."

Ji Si had no choice but to take off the jade pendant around her waist and hand it to Xiaotao, "Either?"

Little Taozi: "..."

"Jin Xiu help!" Xiaotao shouted, running out of the door in a panic.

Qin Jun's mansion leaned on the table and laughed, and it took a long time before he stopped laughing, and asked with a smile: "How is the Jin Xiu thing going?"

Ji Si shook her head: "Those assassins were extremely cautious. Not only did they create fake identities that are hard to check, but they lived like ordinary people every day. Nu and Jin Xiu guessed that they came for the princess."

Qin Jun took a deep look at Ji Si and nodded, "It is indeed for the princess."

Ji Si sealed the envelope and sealed it with wax, "When will I deliver it?"

Qin Jun raised her chin, "Send it immediately, and order the messenger to leave the territory of Jiang Prefecture immediately. After leaving Jiang Prefecture, collect some goods for me from the towns along the way. If you don't rush, look carefully in the market and leave the city.Otherwise, you are not allowed to stay. Travel expenses will be reimbursed.”

Ji Si slowly pursed her lips, "No."

Qin Jun: "It will take at least two months for such a letter to come and go in Eternal Border."

Ji Si: "Have you returned to the villa?"

"Well," Qin Jun got up and patted her skirt, "Should the corn in Jiangnan be harvested this season?"

Ji Si: "Yes."

Qin Jun said, "What about our family?"

Ji Si: "The corn is still green when it is sown later."

Qin Jun wailed, "When will there be a harvest? The salt well has been dug for 20 meters, and there is still no brine. If there is no brine, you can't make salt. There is no salt connection..."

Ji Si helped Qin Jun into the carriage and left the He Mansion through the back door.

Qin Jun was dejected, and rolled around on the carriage bed, "In a few months, Yanyun Villa will be in trouble."

Ji Si was driving the horse, lightly raising the whip, and said confidently: "My master's wish will definitely come true."

Qin Jun quieted down, but there was no echo in the carriage for a long time, Ji Si raised the curtain, and saw that Qin Jun was already drowsy on the soft couch.

After nightfall, a fast horse from Yanyun Villa appeared on the official road at the foot of the mountain, went out from the river bank, walked around the foot of the mountain to Jiangbei, and then rode all the way out of Jiang Prefecture. Before he could react, the horse had already left the city gate.

A Kongming lantern floated in the sky above the city, and it flew higher and higher with the help of the wind. Several assassins sneaking outside the city appeared in the dark night. Seeing this signal, they jumped on their horses and chased outside the city gate!

"Chase!"

After a few days.

In the assassin's stronghold in Jiangzhou City, a big and round assassin was cooking in front of the stove, and from time to time he threw the cooked food on the table with a vicious expression.

Several assassins gathered around like hungry wolves, grabbing food one after another.

"Hey, in the past six months, your craftsmanship has become better and better!" An assassin said in surprise, and the rest nodded, mouthfuls of food and excitement.

Unexpectedly, the face of the assassin who was called Ju became even darker. He put the bowls and chopsticks in his hand heavily on the table, and said angrily: "Grandma, I have been with this little princess for more than half a year. When will I find the prince!"

An assassin wiped his mouth and said: "Shan Heshi has sent a letter saying that the person sent by the little princess will stay carefully in every town, and rush to the next town when they leave the city. I'm afraid they have clues and are looking for someone."Woolen cloth."

An assassin gulped down his food: "Assassin Fei once said that this little princess is full of tricks, is it so easy to find someone?"

The rest of the people said anxiously: "Although we are Da Sima's confidants, if we can't find out the useful value, I'm afraid we will end up with each other..."

"Eat quickly!" Ju roared, "After eating, it's time to plant the land! It's time to go to the pier to carry the load, don't miss the trick, let Li Yezhen see the clue!"

The assassins lowered their heads and savaged the rice, then put the bowls and chopsticks away at the same time, and went out to work with their shoulder poles and sickles.

Ju then continued to pretend to be a foreman, went to the wharf market where there were many people, did business in Naga, and monitored the servants of Yanyun Villa who came to buy and sell.
