Chapter 76

Li Yezhen

In Ye Di, the heat is in full swing, ice cubes are placed everywhere in the palace, and the place where you move is like a breeze, very pleasant.

The assassin was covered with a black scarf and stood behind Ji Si with his hands folded across his chest, "The palace is really extravagant, and the use of soldiers for one day is worth a year's worth of ice."

The four sides of the corridor are open, and a group of court ladies walked by, all dressed in light veils, their expressions numb and lifeless.

In the distance, Yun Xuan is telling fortunes with people in a fairy-like manner in the corridor.

Ji Si: "Have you received a reply?"

Assassin Fei whispered: "No, if there is a letter, Xinying will tell me."

For some reason, Assassin Fei felt an anger emanating from Ji Si, "Are you angry?"

Ji Si smiled, retracted her long eyelashes slightly, and wrapped her fingers carelessly around her black hair: "Why are you angry?"

The assassin snapped, "Are you mad at your mistress for not replying to your letter?"

Ji Si smiled, "Master is too busy."

Assassin Fei teased, "I'm too busy getting married, I think you are still not favored enough, otherwise why would he let you come to Xi Jiang?"

Ji Si looked sideways at Mrs. Huo in the distance, and smiled slightly, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Huo had a complicated expression, and said, "Elder Sima welcomes you."

Ji Si nodded, and when she passed by Mrs. Huo, Mrs. Huo said: "I met you by Qin Bian's side. Your husband is definitely not as simple as a businessman. Whether he is really married is not your own opinion."It's up to you."

Ji Si pursed her lips: "If you don't believe me, why has Da Sima summoned so frequently recently?"

Since Ji Si revealed that she has a son, this is the third time that Da Sima has summoned her.

Mrs. Huo's expression froze, and she frowned slightly, "Tsing Yi is about to give birth...you think about it yourself."

Mrs. Huo's robe shook, she turned and left.

Assassin Fei said in a low voice: "Mrs. Huo is reminding you that if the lie is exposed...it goes without saying, you know it."

Without saying a word, Ji Si followed Mrs. Huo to see Sima Cuo.

"Da Sima, people are coming."

Sima Cuo was critiquing the papers, pointed to the chair, and motioned for Ji Si to sit down, while Assassin Fei stood behind Ji Si with a wicked smile on his lips.

After sitting for half a cup of tea, Sima Cuo remained silent. Ji Si rolled up the corners of her lips and spoke first, "Why does Da Sima play such a prestige?"

Sima Cuo then put down his pen and said, "I'm not feeling well today, so I'll go back first, my dear girl."

Ji Si got up gracefully and walked outside the door. Sima Cuo watched Ji Si walk away, looked sideways at the letter in his hand, suddenly there was a strong wind in his ears, and the sound of piercing the sky, Mrs. Huo's hand was like lightning, and she stretched out her fingers to clampThis ingot was used as a hidden weapon, but after catching it, the silver ingot instantly fell off and fell on the table. Mrs. Huo's wrist couldn't help shaking.

Mrs. Huo: "It's Assassin Fly."

Sima Cuo broke into a cold sweat behind his back: "He is reminding me that if there is another time, he will kill me."

"You shouldn't tease the eldest princess." Mrs. Huo said.

Sima Cuo shook her head, and handed the letter to Mrs. Huo: "Helen Mu's letter from ruling the land, the beauties sent have fallen out of favor, and a Qin businessman sent eight women to Helen Mu in order to make money."

Mrs. Huo frowned, "You doubt her?"

Sima Cuo shook her head. It would be too sensational if countless things were linked to one place just because of a guess.

"There are not a few merchants who send beauties to Helen Mu. Da Sima doesn't have to be so cautious," Mrs. Huo said.

Sima Cuo nodded, but for some reason, he was restless. He always felt that all the planned chess games seemed to have entered a random chess by mistake. This chess lay across the board. It seemed that there was no mistake, but it was hard to ignore.

"Has Zhong Hui been found?" Sima Cuo asked.

Mrs. Huo shook her head: "No."

Sima Cuo: "Where's his family?"

Mrs. Huo said: "I went to see the old residence of Zhong's family. After the city was broken, it was burned down by fire. The body is hard to discern. It should have died of Capital cholera."

Sima Cuo frowned: "The eldest princess came back suddenly, Zhong Hui disappeared, and Nalan Rong fell out of favor. Do you think these are all coincidences?"

Mrs. Huo frowned: "What did Da Sima want to say?"

"Zhong Hui is missing. People who went to Central Capital to report to him have found him, but there is no news. At least it is certain that Zhong Hui has not returned to the court." Mrs. Huo said.

"Even if he returns to the court, so what? Zhong Hui will definitely be taken into prison if he leaves Xi Jiang without permission. He is afraid of death, and he may stay somewhere in Xi Jiang to linger on his last breath. Besides, Qin Zhou is too busy to take care of himself and has no power to mix with Xijiang.government affairs." Mrs. Huo said.

Sima Cuo frowned, "I hope so, Yanmo, I'm going to write to Helen Mu and ask him when he will send troops to Qin and Zhou."

Mrs. Huo was studying ink, and after a while, a woman screamed shrillly from outside the door, followed by Ji Cun's roar.

Mrs. Huo: "How long can he live?"

Sima Cuo: "No more than one year."

Ji Si: "What's the sound?"

Assassin Fei gave an evil smile, and looked towards the palace next door, "What sound are you talking about?"

The woman's voice was shrill and hoarse, accompanied by begging for mercy, she couldn't stop calling the king.

Assassin Fei said: "The cold poison is attacking, and that face is especially terrifying."

Ji Si twitched the corner of her mouth.

Assassin Fei teased, "Shall I save her?"

"Anything you want." Ji Si said coldly.

Assassin Fei looked at her in surprise, "Who did you think you were following... so vicious?"

"I've never been a kind person." Ji Si said, "Just do something."

Assassin Fei nodded and continued to copy the city defense map in the palace.

Yun Xuan pushed the door open: "He has at most one year to live."

Ji Si said: "One year, if the baby in Tsing Yi's womb is Sima Cuo's last chance."

Assassin Fei and Yun Xuan exchanged glances, "Last time Sima Cuo said that Tsing Yi was going outside to escape the heat."

Ji Si said: "This is his last bargaining chip, it's impossible not to take it to heart."

Assassin Fei: "I'll look for it, I know Xi Jiang well."

Ji Si looked at the map of the royal palace drawn by the assassin Fei, and marked on it one by one the observed guard shift rules.

Yun Xuan said: "There are at least three ways to change shifts. Sima Cuo is too suspicious. This rule is constantly changing."

Ji Si spread another piece of paper, "It's okay, master's work is over?"

Yun Xuan nodded: "The news of the prince's return to court has been spread through the mouths of the maids and eunuchs. I believe it will not be long before the palace will spread quietly, but it is unknown whether it will be able to spread. The best way is for me to come out."palace."

Assassin Fei: "It's not easy, Sima Cuo put us under house arrest, I'm afraid it's too difficult."

Ji Si said, "It's easy to change."

Assassin Fei said: "Your disguise technique is too rough, it's okay from a distance, but it's full of loopholes up close."

Ji Si raised her eyes and thought for a while, then said, "If there are any, they may be fake."

The assassin smiled.

Ji Si nodded and stopped talking. Yun Xuan sighed several times, bowed out of the window, and said, "Amitabha."

The next day, Assassin Fei threw the gun to Ji Si, and said with an evil smile, "Wouldn't it ooze panic when you wear it on your face?"

Ji Si: "I didn't wear it."

Assassin Fei was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said, "I don't wear it either!"

Ji Si had to deal with this mask for three full days. She was locked in the room without sleep for three days. Ji Cun wanted to see her several times but was turned away.

On the fourth day, Ji Si opened the door,

Assassin Fei played against Yun Xuan in the court.

Ji Si's face was pale: "Find me an imperial physician."

In the evening, an imperial physician came out of the side palace and was directly called to live with Sima Cuo.

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground, trembling all over, "Da Sima, that girl is indeed suffering from manic depression and insomnia."

Sima Cuo: "Has she ever been pregnant?"

The imperial physician was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Yes, and this girl just gave birth not long ago. About two years."

Mrs. Huo pointed a dagger between the imperial physician's neck, "Is this true?"

The imperial doctor was trembling, sweating non-stop, and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead and neck with his sleeve: "It's absolutely true! It's absolutely true! Da Sima, I dare not talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Huo looked at the imperial physician carefully, and exerted force with her hand, the sharp dagger penetrated into the imperial physician's neck, and blood oozes out.

The imperial doctor flinched in fright, and kowtowed frantically, "What the villain said is absolutely true, Da Sima spares his life, Da Sima spares his life."

Sima Cuo frowned, and was about to ask Mrs. Huo to kill the noisy imperial physician, but the imperial physician screamed and shouted: "If Da Sima doesn't wake up, of course I can ask someone to take the pulse again!"

Mrs. Huo put away the dagger and said, "Have you ever prescribed a prescription?"

The imperial physician swallowed his saliva, tremblingly took out the prescription from his bosom, and said: "It's prescribed, but it's just a medicine, and I have to go outside the palace to get it."

"Leaving the palace?" Sima asked sternly.

Mrs. Huo glanced at Fang Zi, and said: "It's almost cold food powder, all the ones in the palace were taken by the king to make cold food pills."

Sima Cuo nodded: "Go."

The imperial doctor got up quickly, clutched his neck and limped away.

Mrs. Huo glanced at Sima Cuo, and followed out. The imperial doctor turned around the corridor, Mrs. Huo followed carelessly, but was bumped into by a court lady, and the soup balls were scattered all over her body.

"Ma'am..." The palace maid fell to her knees hastily.

Almost intuitively, Mrs. Huo didn't have time to delve into it, she brushed the maid away with her palm, and chased after her.

Assassin Fei stood at the gate of the palace, talking to the imperial physician.

"fly."

Assassin Fei motioned for the imperial physician to leave quickly, and stopped Mrs. Huo himself: "Mrs. Huo, the attack is too ruthless."

Mrs. Huo said, "Get out of the way."

The assassin shrugged his shoulders and stood in front of Mrs. Huo like a playboy.

The inner city guard looked at me and I looked at you, and then persuaded: "You two, if you want to compete, please change the place."

Outside the palace gate, the imperial physician walked faster and faster, and when he reached a wall, he saw an old man pulling a horse, and immediately shouted, "Your surname is Wang?"

Uncle King nodded, looked at the bloodstain on the imperial physician's neck, and asked, "Yes, you are?"

The imperial physician took off the face mask, rubbed off the medicinal mud that changed the facial features and bones, revealing the true face.

Uncle King saw Yun Xuan when he was pulling the horse for Qin Jun, and he was surprised: "Master Yun Xuan, my lady..."

Yun Xuan said: "Get out of here first! Then try to get around!"

Seven days later, the court dispersed early, and a good friend stopped Sima Cuo, and said in a low voice: "Da Sima, there have been many rumors outside the palace recently, do you know that?"

Sima Cuo was worried about this matter, why didn't he know, he waited for his party members and said: "Your Excellency, you should care about yourself!"

The man froze for a moment, then flicked his sleeves, "I know that your Da Sima is well-informed, but this time, the more the master, the more the concubine, the news from the palace is not a trivial matter. Didn't your majesty say that the eldest prince still has news?"? I don’t know if this rumor is reflecting something, Da Sima thinks about it, and resigns as an official!”

Sima Cuo's face darkened, Madam Huo quietly appeared, followed behind him, and said, "Yun Xuan is gone."

Sima Cuo took a deep breath, "When were you not here?"

Mrs. Huo: "Seven days ago, I switched identities with that imperial physician. I went to see him today. The person next to me has a face similar to Yun Xuan's, but it is very different upon closer inspection."

"Transfiguration?" Sima Cuo asked in surprise, "Isn't this some kind of rumor?"

Mrs. Huo said: "Among the assassins, there are also those who are well versed in this way, but they usually use makeup, and then use knives and fillers to modify the eyebrows, eyes and contours.It's also blind."

Sima Cuo frowned, "Send out all the assassins, find Yun Xuan, bring them back...etc."

Sima Cuo's expression froze, "Keep quiet when you find it, follow him and see what he's going to do."

Mrs. Huo nodded, and said again: "Do you keep anyone by your side?"

Sima Cuo was afraid of death, so he said again, "You go and find it yourself, and the rest stay with me."

Mrs. Huo had no objection, and said, "I haven't visited Tsing Yi for more than a month."

Sima Cuo frowned, "She's about to give birth, it's better to disturb her less."

The door creaked, and Mrs. Huo had already gone out.

Outside the door, someone came to report, "Da Sima, General Feng is asking to see you."

Sima Cuo straightened her clothes and got up to greet her.

On the other side, Ji Si was wandering in the palace, followed by two court ladies, but they couldn't stop her. When Ji Si wandered to Sima Cuo's living room in the palace, she saw a man in armor standing outside the door.

The man seemed to be aware of Ji Si's gaze, and his eyes swept over him, and he was startled when he saw Ji Si clearly.

The door was pulled open, and the messenger signaled Feng Geng to go in.

Feng Geng turned around again, and only Ji Si's back was left in the corridor.

"Who was that person just now?" Ji Si asked with a smile, her voice was gentle and deceptive.

The servant girl whispered: "Yes, it is Feng Duwei, the city defense officer of Ye Di, he..."

Another maid tugged at her sleeve, apparently she had been told not to talk too much.

Ji Si smiled gently, "Thank you, I'm tired, let's go back."

"yes."

At night, Ji Si was watching the moon under the tree in the courtyard, and Assassin Fei squatted on the roof like a dog, and suddenly moved his ears and moved the tiles.

Ji Si: "Who?"

A figure leaped over the high wall and landed into the courtyard with light kung fu, "Young lady has good ears."

Ji Si hummed slowly, holding the teapot in her hand, poured tea into an empty cup, and signaled him to sit down.

The man cupped his fists and said, "The next name is Feng."

Ji Si: "Master Feng, what's the matter?"

Feng Geng looked at Ji Si and asked, "Where did the girl come from? She doesn't look like Xijiang."

Ji Si said: "My mother is from Han, and my father is from Xijiang. They were born as mothers."

Feng Geng nodded, took a sip from the teacup, "The tea is cold."

Ji Si said: "After waiting for General Hou for a long time, the tea will naturally cool down."

Feng Geng frowned: "You know I'm coming, who are you?"

Assassin, Assassin Fei on the eaves couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "Feng Duwei, did you come today because of the rumors in Ye Di?"

Feng Geng raised his head, the breath of Assassin Fei blended with the night, he almost didn't distinguish it, "Fei."

Feng Geng was silent for a while, and stared at Ji Si in a daze for a long time, as if he had seen an old man, unable to tell whether the dream in front of him was real or not, and asked, "Are you..."

Ji Si twitched the corners of her lips, "What is the matter that Captain Du came to look for Da Sima today?"

For some reason, Feng Geng couldn't think of an excuse when facing Ji Si, so he told her the truth, saying: "I heard that the eldest prince is not dead, so he came to confront the eldest Sima."

"What did Da Sima say?" Ji Si asked.

Feng Geng: "Perfunctory, and then ordered to kill Ye Di who spread rumors."

Ji Si smiled.

Feng Geng frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Ji Si said: "How can this method solve the problem of refugees? I am afraid that once the autumn harvest is over and it is time for the annual tribute to be paid, there will be a burst of uprisings in various places."

Feng Geng frowned, and suddenly said: "You look a lot like a person."

Ji Si said, "Empress Jiang?"

Feng Geng looked at Ji Si in surprise, "You—"

Ji Si said indifferently: "My surname is Ji, and I have met Feng Duwei before."

Feng Geng calmed down instantly, "It really is you."

The assassin flew down from the eaves, "Old acquaintance?"

Ji Si said: "Ten years ago, the person who escorted me to Xi Jiang was none other than Captain Feng."

Feng Geng said: "That year I was just a small soldier who was honored by General Feng. All the people involved in escorting the prince died. At that time, I felt that something was wrong. Fortunately, General Feng Shefeng secretly protected my minister."

Ji Si nodded: "The captain is much older than ten years ago."

Feng Geng: "..."

Assassin Fei said: "There are people in the court who are good at handling things, Feng Duwei, just to give me a helping hand."

Feng Geng nodded, "Of course, since the first prince, no, since the eldest princess is back, why is there no news from the government and the public?"

Ji Si looked sideways, "Doesn't the captain know?"

"Is it Da Sima?" Feng Duwei said, "Why?"

Ji Si then said: "Accidentally fell into the trick of catching a turtle in a urn. It is very boring to stay in this palace. If the captain has a way, can you lead me out of the palace?"

Feng Duwei said: "Tomorrow, you can play the book and tell Wang Shangming directly."

Feng Geng was guarding Ye City and had five thousand soldiers in his hands, so he naturally had some confidence.

Ji Si said: "My identity can only be revealed by Da Sima himself."

Feng Geng frowned: "Why?"

"If it's someone else, he can completely deny it," Ji Si said, "Now, there are other important matters, which I have to entrust to the captain."

Feng Geng glanced at the sky, "Say it."

Ji Si said: "Da Sima is looking for my people at Ye Di, and I ask the captain to take one or two of them in and take care of them. There is another letter, and I will send it through the captain's way."

Feng Geng took the letter and got up to leave.

Assassin Fei said: "Fortunately Mrs. Huo is not in the palace today."

Ji Si nodded, "The matter of Yun Xuan has been exposed, we should retreat when we find the right time."

Assassin Fei asked: "Did you draw the blueprint?"

Ji Si got up and went into the house, changing into night clothes from time to time and coming out, "If Mrs. Huo comes out, you will restrain her."

Assassin Fei was playing with a dagger in his hand: "It took more than a month to wait for today's opportunity, but you can actually leave it to me to do it."

Ji Si hooked the square scarf on her chin, and said with a smile, "Fei, how can you be sure that you can gain my trust?"

Assassin Fei: "..."

Deep in the royal palace of Ye Di, there are tombstones of Ji Wuming and Empress Jiang. The royal tomb is far away in the suburbs, but there will be an imperial temple in the palace to enshrine the tablets of ancestors.

Ji Si lived in the palace where Ji Cun lived. Sima Cuo sent heavy soldiers to guard her and put Ji Cun under house arrest in the name of protection.It is those assassins who hide in the dark and can restrain their breath.

After leaving Weiyang Palace, there was no obstacle on the way to the Ancestral Temple. Ji Si followed the memory and the map drawn by the assassin Fei, traveled through most of the palace, and then entered the Ancestral Temple.

Candles were burning inside the Taimiao, and the young eunuch on duty was dozing outside the door. Ji Si slipped her finger on the window edge, and her fingertips were covered with dust.

Thinking that Ji Cun didn't come to worship often, the palace people in the Taimiao didn't take it to heart, and they were very negligent in sweeping and repairing.

Ji Si took off her scarf, and a black figure walked down the corridor like a ghost.

The eunuch shivered, but still did not wake up.

A gust of wind blew through the candlelight, and Ji Si stood in front of many tablets, looking at them with pursed lips.

The tablets of Ji Wuming and Empress Jiang were placed in the center, like a pair of eyes, watching Ji Si. On a dreary night in the dog days, the Taimiao Temple was full of gloomy and chilly winds.

Ji Si picked up three incense sticks on one side, lit them to the candle, inserted them into the incense stand, took two steps back to examine them, smiled ironically, then jumped sideways, jumped onto the high platform, took down a plaque on the top, and revealedThere is a huge stone wall behind the plaque, and scriptures are engraved on the stone wall.

The middle part of the stone wall sank, and during the display of a genealogy, Ji Si picked it up.

The royal family gave birth to a child, one son and one daughter, which will be registered on the genealogy tree, and the genealogy tree has been soaked in a special method, so that the paper will not be invaded by water and fire, nor will it be corroded by feng shui or nature.

Genealogy, the birth or death of non-clan members, shall not be taken or altered without authorization.

Ji Si wiped off the dust on the book and turned it over. Two sheets of paper fell from it, brushed against the flames, and were almost caught by Ji Si.

After seeing what it was, Ji Si was stunned. This was the birth certificate of her and Ji Cun.

On the birth certificate, there are detailed reports of the biological father and mother, the year, month and date of birth, and the zodiac horoscope and name.

She spoke a quarter of an hour earlier than Ji Cun. In the directory, it was written that Ji Si was the eldest daughter and Ji Cun was the second son.

Ji Si opened the family tree, which was consistent with the birth certificate.It is recorded that Ji Si was born as a baby girl.

Perhaps back then, Ji Wuming and Empress Jiang didn't have no love for her.

Ji Si closed the genealogy tree, put it back in its original place, jumped off the high platform, and walked to the door without looking back. Finally, she turned around and twirled a copper plate with two fingers and threw it towards the incense table.

The three sticks of incense seemed to be broken at the waist by a knife, and the sections fell down unanimously, as if a guilty person knelt down and bowed in fear!

Ji Si's eyes were cold: "I can't bear it."

"Have you got it?" Assassin Fei was guarding the palace gate, at this moment the sky had turned out, "Why don't you speak?"

Ji Si retreated sharply and struck at Assassin Fei with a palm. Assassin Fei retreated and turned his head in surprise, "You are crazy!"

Ji Si closed her eyes and exhaled slowly, "I got it."

Assassin Fei: "Someone take a look?"

Ji Si slammed the door without saying a word.

Assassin Fei: "...I got the things, when will I leave the palace?"

In the early morning, the birds chirped, and the assassin Fei stood at the door of Ji Si's room for a while, then left embarrassingly.

In the early dynasty, the excerpts of the severe drought and the unsustainable autumn harvest in various parts of Xi Jiang were played one after another.

"Your Majesty, the drought in various places this year has interfered with the livelihood of the local people. Local officials have requested the imperial court to provide relief..."

Ji Cun waved his hand and interrupted the minister, "Sure, leave it to Da Sima to make preparations."

Da Sima cupped his hands, "I obey the order."

The Minister of Shangzuo was no longer born at once, and only waved his sleeves in anger, and stood back in the queue.

Assassin, Feng Geng, a military officer in the hall, came out and said: "I have a book to play."

Ji Cun glanced at Feng Geng, feeling drowsy.

Feng Geng said: "Mrs. De De rings the bell at the Meridian Gate, and her crown tomb has been displayed in the yamen for several months. She still talks about something strange. I think that if De De's body is not found, it may be difficult to stop Ye Di Youyou's mouth."

Ji Cun nodded, "Didn't De Deku die of illness when he was on an mission to Qin and Zhou?"

Sima Cuo looked sideways, a minister nodded secretly, and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the case of De De has been reported. Due to the robbery by the bandits, a group of servants were killed.Afterwards, he was indeed injured by a weapon used by bandits, although De De did not see the body, it may be more or less unfortunate."

Feng Gengwu said to himself: "Your Majesty, the case of De De's disappearance is very strange, and he also allows you to let the ministers investigate thoroughly. If it doesn't work, find out De De's life and death, and give his family an explanation."

Ji Cun looked embarrassed, and unconsciously glanced at Sima Cuo.

"Your Majesty!" Feng Geng's voice sounded like a bell, and Ji Cun's expression froze in an instant.

Ji Cun: "Gu, Gu allows you to do it."

Feng Geng breathed out, "No!"

From time to time, eunuchs reported that half of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly dozed off and went out of the palace with their companions to have fun.

Central Capital, Jiangnan is at the end of summer, and autumn will begin in January. Corn harvesting in all states will begin in autumn, followed by the third season of rice planting in autumn.

Grain and rain in Jiangnan are good this year, and it is reported that it is another bumper harvest year. Jiangnan grain merchants say that this year they will pile up corn in their warehouses again.

The imperial court has issued a document to collect grain, and all parts of Jiangnan, Youzhou, Liuzhou, and Bingzhou have collected 200,000 shi for grain.In other places, 80,000 to 100,000 stones were collected.

Qin Jun took off her shoes, stepped on the unthreshed stalks, stepped on the remaining corn on the stalks, grinned from time to time, and yelled, "Lady Pin!"

Xiaotao carried her shoes and socks for her, and said maliciously, "Princess, Lady Pin has been gone for four months."

Qin Jun: "..."

Qin Jun babbled, walked to the side, rubbed the soles of her feet, and instructed Xiaotao: "Take it and let Song Wenzhou feed the chicken."

Grain rain is good this year. Qin Jun cut the first seedlings of the first season in the field of Jiang Prefecture before the second season of rice in Jiangnan.Come to make Qin Jun happy, as well as watermelons, peanuts and other things grown on the hill opposite the villa.

Qin Jun was overjoyed to see the plump grains, so she immediately threshed the grains. At noon, she ate the new rice from this year's Yanyun Villa, and then Qin Jun stepped on the straw in the yard to play.

At the same time, double happiness came to Yanyun Villa. He Shisan, who had been to the Western Regions for a year and a half, finally made his first pot of gold. Several carts of gold and silver were escorted back to Jiang Prefecture Yanyun Villa.

Yanyun Villa is currently under the management of Tian Nai and Jiang Chaosheng. Eternal Border and the salt production business in the Western Regions all send goods from Jiangnan, and the money is stored in the warehouse and also in the basement of Yanyun Villa. From time to time, some are sent to Qin Jun, but in factThe silver taels earned by Qin Jun in Central Capital's property can't be used up.He also lent 30,000 taels of silver to Qin Bian to repair the palace.

Xiaotao counts her savings, and she often feels that Qin Jun spent all his money in Jiang Prefecture and Yanyun Villa to set up foundations in the past two years. In less than three years, he has the potential to become rich.

Qin Jun had had enough fun, and asked casually, "How is the medicine field in Song Wenzhou?"

Xiaotao excitedly said: "We lost two seasons! This year's herbal medicine can already be out of the warehouse!"

Qin Jun nodded, "That's right, tell Song Wenzhou that the warehouse can be released, and tell him that the remaining 500 mu of medicine fields are all planted with Jinchuang Yao's herbs."

Xiaotao: "Would it be too much?"

Qin Jun: "Not many, just plant."

Xiaotao asked: "Then who is the medicine made for?"

Qin Jun wiped her hands with a square handkerchief handed over by her servants, picked up a piece of melon and fed it into her mouth at random, saying: "For the imperial court's 100,000 soldiers, your princess perverted the law and walked through the back door of the noble concubine, and gave it to the He family.Got an order from the imperial court for Jinchuang medicine for three years, supplying 100,000 copies of Jinchuang medicine every year, and ordered Song Wenzhou to take his head off if he couldn't produce the medicine!"

Xiaotao was taken aback for a moment, then yelled in surprise, turned around and ran towards Song Wenzhou's courtyard: "I'll talk about it right away!"

Qin Jun laughed loudly, almost choked on the melon, and stroked her chest to relax, before taking a break, and went to the study to deal with matters.

Autumn harvest, how many rocks are stored in Yanyun Villa, how many rocks are sold, there are already four salt wells in the villa, do they need to be dug again?How much land, what percentage of land tax, how to arrange...

There is also the storefront in Jiangnan, which can no longer afford the property of the He family. Do you want to rent the storefront again? Where is the rented place? The leader of the Jiangnan commercial firm gathered, and dozens of elegant gatherings sent invitations to He's house, inviting her to discuss this year's food and rice.pricing...

The shops of Central Capital are named Hejia, let alone more than forty shops, and the shopkeepers will visit Qin Jun every month with the account book.

In addition to the 2,000 hectares of land outside the central capital, 500 mu are planted with coarse grains, 1,000 mu are planted with medicines, and the remaining 500 mu are poor-quality land or mountain land that was bought and sold by force when buying and selling good land.Tenants and drug farmers.

All kinds of properties of the He family have already supported thousands of people. In this way, patrolling the ground, patrolling the store, checking the account books... Qin Jun was almost overwhelmed by many matters.

Fortunately, something happened to Xiaotao's subordinates, otherwise Qin Jun would have wanted to quit.

Qin Jun threw away the pen and refused all the invitations, stating that all the prices are up to everyone.In the next letter, a few more tenants were recruited outside the city. The tenants wanted to come to see the owner and toast with tea. Qin Jun's head was as big as a cow, so she simply told her not to come to the door. She would go to the field to meet the old and the new after the next harvest festival.The tenants just drink a cup of tea together, and there is no need to report such things in the future... so...

Busy to and fro, there is actually two shops in the city quarreling for business.

Qin Jun pressed her forehead and said, "The Guo family? Who is the Guo family? How dare you act wildly in my territory? Lady Pin Jin Xiu, you go and arrest this grandson named Guo—"

Qin Jun's words stopped abruptly, and finally she smiled wryly, just now remembering that Ji Si is no longer in Central Capital, and Jin Xiu is still unconscious.

"If you were here, I wouldn't be so busy." Qin Jun said disappointedly.

Since Ji Si Jinxiu was not by her side, Xiao Tao and Xing'er had to take their place as attendants. If the two of them couldn't get away, Qin Jun would naturally have to share many trivial matters that seemed small but required the chief's nod.

Qin Jun pressed the center of her brows and rubbed twice, Xing'er came back, "Princess?"

Qin Jun: "You're back, how are you?"

Xing'er took the pen and paper from Qin Jun's hand, shared Qin Jun's worries, and said: "I have inquired, the imperial court has ordered Master Biao to sit in Jindi, and will transfer General Ji back to lead the troops."

Qin Jun yawned and said, holding his face, "Sun Zhong said?"

Xing'er shook her head and said: "I stopped the people from the Ministry of War to ask, I don't know whose idea, why the court is so sudden, isn't there still two years before the prince's agreement to conquer the north? Is it because the general is going to come back to fight?"

Qin Jun thought for a while, and said to the void in a daze: "Central Capital has been occupied for more than half a year, and I don't know what's going on.I guess the Hu people must be looting everywhere in the north to make a living."

Xing'er poured Qin Jun a cup of tea, and Qin Jun took it, "This season's harvests in various places are extremely important. If the people in various places don't have enough to eat, there will be disaster victims...Jiangnan's grain will go into the treasury this year. The new law has just been promulgated. JiangnanThe gentry lost a lot of benefits, so no one is willing to contribute money for disaster relief."

Qin Jun said: "No one provides food or money, and the refugees have nowhere to go. It will only cause mutiny and local shocks."

Qin Jun: "I guess the imperial court transferred back General Ji at this time, maybe to send him to change defense with Qin Kuang, so that we can ensure that no stragglers go south to rob the people in the south and maintain local order."

Xing'er watched Qin Jun analyze the court situation in surprise, Qin Jun drank the tea in one go, put the cup aside, and took a deep breath.

Qin Jun: "As soon as the general cum leaves, my cousin may not be able to keep Jindi."

Xing'er guessed: "Then... are we going back to Jiangzhou?"

Qin Jun smiled and rubbed the top of Xing'er's hair, "Smart, I have to invite my grandfather out of the mountain."

Xing'er pursed her lips: "But, didn't the princess just reject the prince two months ago?"

Qin Jun: "If it's not important, I don't want to."

Xing'er's nose soured, "I'll tell someone to pack things!"

Qin Jun smiled, "Go, you can go back with me, Xiaotao can stay at Central Capital, and bring more things back!"

Xing'er's voice came from far away, "Whew!"

Two days later, before the heat of Central Capital dissipated, Qin Jun had just left the city gate and was drowsy from the heat in the carriage when a familiar and noisy voice sounded not far away.

"Hey! Whose carriage is so luxurious!"

"Well, only one main car, and six laundry carts?"

"Which lady from Central Capital is out of town?"

A gentle woman's voice sounded, "Mother-in-law, please keep your voice down, don't rush."

Qin Jun woke up from the slumber in a daze, and when she heard this conversation, she lifted the curtain and looked at it in disbelief.

A few steps away, a carriage with lanterns from Li's family was pulling over to make way for Qin Jun's convoy. The women in the carriage lowered the curtain in fear, fearing to disturb the nobles in the luxurious carriage in front of them.

This carriage came from the official road, it was only a horse-drawn carriage, and the body was extremely simple.The groom was wearing a bamboo hat, and a snow-white beard was faintly visible under the brim of the hat. The groom's hand holding the rein could already see wrinkled skin and spots of age spots.

"Stop." Qin Jun said dumbly.

The carriage stopped, and the coachman turned to look at Qin Jun suspiciously.

Xing'er whispered: "Miss?"

Qin Jun got out of the car in a hurry, and when she saw clearly, her nose turned sore and she shed tears, "Grandfather."

Li Yezhen took off his hat, revealing his old face: "My minister returned to Beijing and met the princess."

At the end, she smiled kindly at Qin Jun again, "You are all big girls, why are you crying?"
