Of course she knew that she didn't hate Ji Chongyan, and even liked Ji Chongyan.But those likes were different from what she perceived now.

Those likings are equivalent to liking Xiangli, Xiao Wu, and Bai Guanshi.Of course she also has that kind of liking for Ji Chongyan.

But at the moment, she is clearly aware that she has other likings for Ji Chongyan besides those likings.

He looked over, a trace of anxiety flashed in those eyes that were always gentle when looking at her, he was waiting for her answer.

"Miss Jiang Si, I..."

She opened her mouth, and was about to speak, but a sudden sense of dizziness surged up in an instant, and then her eyes went dark, and she completely lost consciousness.

She is not a person who likes to escape, but thinking of that scene at that time, she feels a little lucky.

Pulled out the hairpin from the hairpin, picked up the wick with the tip of the hairpin, and brightened the wick a bit, Jiang Shaoyan looked at the Ye Mingzhu picked out by herself and took a deep breath.

Not only does she have the poison from her mother's womb, but the things she has to do are also extremely dangerous.Reasonably told her not to involve him.But she opened her mouth to refuse... just thinking of refusing, she felt a stagnation in her heart.

Sure enough, it is painful to really say something against your will.

It's fine if you don't say it... I guess someone as smart as him would understand it!

Jiang Shaoyan gave a wry smile, lowered her head and took a pen to outline the appearance of the snow lotus leaf with two pedicles. She has a lot to do, so don't think about it anymore.

……

It was also a young year, compared to the long-lost excitement in the Jiang family's other garden, the Yamen in Yancheng Mansion was a little deserted.

Lin Yan, who had regained some energy after sleeping for two days, looked at Ji Chongyan who was sitting across from him, and was speechless.

It's not that the relationship between the two is not good, it's precisely because the relationship between the two is so good that I know almost everything about the other party, and I usually settle and talk about anything, why would I wait until now to say it on the night of the new year? ?

Xiaonian... seems to be the same as usual, that is, he eats more hearty food.But there is only one stomach, and it can only hold so many things, and it will be too full if there are too many things.

Suppressing the urge in his heart to talk to Chongyan about those people locked up in the prison, Lin Yan thought for a while and talked about his personal affairs: "I have known Asu for two years..."

Ji Chongyan looked up at him.

The "Asu" in Lin Yan's mouth is the proprietress who opened a small tavern on the streets of Chang'an.This is not surprising, the family of the tavern proprietress whose maiden name was Zisu had been practicing medicine for generations before she was convicted, but after she was convicted, the man in the family died in exile while the woman was sent to the court.

Entering Ye Ting at the age of five or six, from a serious official lady to a palace slave, she stayed for a full ten years, and was released from the palace only after reaching Jiji's age.

Then I used the savings of ten years in the palace to set up a shop on the streets of Chang'an, and used the skills learned in the palace to take root in the streets. Starting from a small shop, the woman had already rented out the shop next to it at the beginning of this year. .

The tavern business is doing well, very prosperous.

He accompanied Lin Yan to the tavern a few times. Lin Yan ordered wine, and he ordered two plates of dried fruit snacks. He sat with Lin Yan in the corner and watched the woman who was born as an official lady always play well in the market, brave and resourceful. , mild but not weak.

Such a woman, in all fairness, is indeed worthy of Lin Yan's liking just by looking at her.

That woman is of course very nice, otherwise Lin Yan wouldn't like it so much.No matter how good it is, it is not good in the eyes of the elders of the Lin Yan clan.

If her family had never been convicted, and she was still the official lady, the two would be a good match.In addition, Lin Yan himself is not that kind of dandy who has no ability to rely on the shade of his ancestors. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple can't even afford to support his own family. He wants to marry a wife. As long as the status is not too disparate, the Lin family I am willing to compromise.

But right now, the Lin family has always been unwilling to accept a "born slave".

"I actually went to Asu. I don't need to take the moon silver given by the clan. I can support this family by myself. Asu is not like that. She can support herself." Lin Yan sighed and said quietly, " But Asu said that she was born as a sin slave, if I marry her, people will make a big fuss about my official career in the future. She doesn't want to see my ambitions shattered and suffer because of her."

Ji Chongyan glanced at Lin Yan who was drunk and said a few more words, and said lightly: "You knew that she was born as a sin slave. If you want to marry her, you have to think about it. But if you don't mind , don't worry about it."

"Of course I don't mind." Lin Yan sighed, "But she does. Asu has great self-esteem and doesn't want to drag me down."

"In fact, I wanted to solve the problem of 'sin slave origin' for Asu, so I went to investigate the case of Asu's family being implicated, but it is an old story. Her family has practiced medicine for generations and is also a big drug dealer who sells medicinal herbs I checked the case, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence. Someone used the drug and caused a catastrophe. After being found out, the main culprits were given death. A palace slave."

This kind of case with all the witnesses and material evidence, at least after going through the case files, Lin Yan didn't find any problems.

The words "born as slaves" seem to be difficult to reverse.

"Asu has already admitted to being a criminal slave, so I don't need to investigate any further."

It is difficult to find out the old affairs of the previous dynasty, and the victim himself confessed, so Lin Yan stopped.

Right now, he and the woman named Asu are getting along like this, and they both know that the other likes him, but... it seems that they are far away from being together.

Ji Chongyan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and after a long while, he suddenly said: "When I was on the mountain, I told Miss Jiang Si."

Said... said?Lin Yan, who was still sighing, was taken aback when he heard it, and became excited when he realized it: "Chongyan, do you mean that you have confessed your sincerity to Miss Jiang Si?"

Although he and Asu are quite far away, it doesn't affect his concern about Chongyan at all!
Chongyan and Fourth Miss Jiang are not as far apart as they are.

Although Chongyan came from a bit of a tall family, the elders of the family, An Guogong and Er Lao, have always been reasonable. As long as he likes it and insists on it, the elders will definitely not object.

As for Miss Jiang Si, she did not have such a rough life experience as Asu, she was Uncle Dong Ping's prostitute, and she could be considered as a descendant of a powerful family.

From the perspective of origin, there is no major resistance between the two.

As long as the two of them like each other, there should be no problem.

"What did Miss Jiang Si say?" Lin Yan asked Ji Chongyan, "Did she agree?"

Ji Chongyan glanced at him when he heard the words, and said, "I passed out before I could answer."

Lin Yan: "..."

This answer is really... Chongyan is afraid that this year will be difficult.

However, it is not Ji Chongyan's style to allow a girl to pass out without answering, so after a pause, Ji Chongyan said: "I will go back to Baoling to see Nanny Chai on New Year's Eve."

Lin Yan: "..." He doesn't just want to see Nanny Chai!
If you want to go back to Baoling on New Year's Eve, then the things here in Yancheng must be taken care of first.

"Is there any movement in Fang's house?" Ji Chongyan said, reminding Lin Yan, "Miss Fang San hasn't gone out for a long time, you can find something for Miss Fang so that Miss Fang can go out for a while. Heart or something."

He wanted to know the secret of the Fang family.

……

"Do you understand?" Looking at Fang Zhixiu who was still disobedient, Fang Zhiyao frowned and said, "Nothing will happen to Zhou Fang, third sister, please stop making trouble!"

After Fang Zhixiu lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment, she suddenly said: "According to your plan, Zhou Fang is very likely to be sent to Beijing. This matter... I don't know how long it will be over. We shouldn't see each other again, right?"

She knew how dangerous what they were doing was.If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

So even if the current troubles are over temporarily, the time when she and Zhou Fang will meet again is far away, and it is even possible that they will not see each other again for life.

"I want to see him." Fang Zhixiu looked at Fang Zhiyao, raised her head, and there seemed to be water in her eyes, "For the last time, in the future, I will definitely obey my elder sister's words."

Looking at Fang Zhixiu, who had lost her appearance in just a few months, Fang Zhiyao felt a little sour in her heart: I wanted to say I hated her for being so ignorant and disregarding the overall situation, but I couldn't say it when I got to my mouth, because I was ignorant at first It was she who ignored the overall situation.

She is the elder sister of Fang's parents. She has been in charge of the family since she was young.The girls in the family are always reassuring. Except for the second sister Fang Zhihui who is a hothead and occasionally quarrels with her, the other two girls, especially the third sister are the most reassuring.

Listen to what the elder sister said... Fang Zhixiu has said this sentence countless times in the past, but in fact she did the same.

What happened to Zhou Fang was probably the first time in her life that she ran counter to her elder sister.

In all fairness, if he was the one who had the accident, she might not be as 'obedient' as she taught Sanmei, so how could she ask Lai Sanmei to be obedient?

As that Miss Jiang Si said: "It's one thing to know, but it's not easy to do it. It's really not easy for Miss Fang San to do something that I may not be able to do. fair."

"Let me figure out a way." Fang Zhiyao lowered his eyes and fell silent for a moment, and Fang Zhixiu said, "But don't act rashly on your own, everything must be done according to my will."

She couldn't think of any solution, but Mr. Jiang said that that Miss Jiang Si was very resourceful and full of tricks.Besides, she has a very good relationship with Ji Shizi and Lin Shaoqing. If so, she must know these two people very well. Maybe there is some way!

……

Six or seven days after the new year, it will be New Year's Eve.

Because Master Jiang Er and Master Jiang San ran back to Beijing with the caravan ahead of schedule, no one caused trouble, life in Baoling City was naturally good.

After a few days of visiting friends with such a big banquet and small banquet, Miss Fang came to the door.

Oh no, to be precise, it was Miss Fang who returned to Baoling from Yancheng to celebrate the New Year, so she followed Fang Zhihui to Jiang's Bieyuan to visit when she had time.

Fang Zhihui was very excited about this, and she almost praised Jiang Shaoyan as a flower in front of Fang Zhiyao, in order to make her eldest sister have a good impression of Jiang Shaoyan.

This impression... is good!She had already met Miss Jiang Si in private.Fang Zhiyao said heartily.

But seeing Fang Zhihui spit and boast non-stop, I want to know that my second younger sister really likes Miss Jiang Si as a friend.

Although this "Pao Zhan" is not bad in nature, but his temper is not very good, he is straightforward, and it is really rare to have a friend he likes so much.

Seeing Jiang Shaoyan and Fang Zhiyao talking to each other politely and kindly in front of them, the atmosphere was very peaceful, Fang Zhihui was very satisfied.

Knew it would be like this!She is the second younger sister who the elder sister cares about the most, and Jiang Si's best friend, so she naturally has a lot of face.Thinking like this, Fang Zhihui emptied the last bit of tea in the teapot, drank it all in one gulp, and then shook the empty teapot, puzzled: "Jiang Si, is your teapot too small? It's not enough to drink. .”

"You have been talking since you came in, and you haven't stopped. How can a pot of tea be enough for you?" Fang Zhiyao raised his eyelids, and said, "You go to the kitchen to make a pot of tea. Miss Jiang Si and I haven't even had a sip. Drink it!"

Fang Zhiyao's words were tactful, and she asked Fang Zhihui to go to the kitchen to make tea, obviously trying to dismiss her.

Jiang Shaoyan raised her eyelids to look at Fang Zhiyao, and smiled.

Fang Zhihui in that room didn't know if he really didn't treat the two of them as outsiders, and didn't think about it at all. Hearing this, he turned around and called Xiangli, asking Xiangli to bring a pot of tea.

Fang Zhiyao thought to herself that although what she said was euphemistic, Fang Zhihui was not an idiot, so she could understand it.Who would have thought that my second younger sister was so incompetent today that she was about to have a headache, so she saw Jiang Shaoyan on the opposite side and said with a smile: "Second Miss Fang is not an outsider with me, the eldest miss wants to dismiss her and just say That's it."

It turned out that he wanted to dismiss her!Fang Zhihui stared at the elder sister suddenly, she said why the elder sister speaks so strangely today!
Well, she held the line for the eldest sister and Jiang Si, but the two of them avoided her and whispered.Fang Zhihui snorted, but stood up and stuck out her tongue at Jiang Shaoyan to make a face, then turned and left briskly.

Although it looks like a firecracker on weekdays, Fang Zhihui still hasn't lost the chain in front of major events.Of course, it is also possible that in the past, she never trusted her second sister with confidence.

"Second Sister really likes Miss Jiang Si very much!" Seeing that Fang Zhihui didn't make a fuss, she turned her head and left, Fang Zhiyao couldn't help feeling that Fang Zhihui, who occasionally had to play tricks on weekdays, was like a close friend in front of this Miss Jiang Si. Like a cat with sharp claws, it is very cute.

Jiang Shaoyan smiled when she heard the words, and then said, "Miss Fang, I will send the box of Ye Mingzhu to Mr. Jiang after I finish it in two days. Count the days and send it to Cui Duo. If Cui Duo's If there is no delay, it should be delivered to His Majesty before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Can it be delivered to that person on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?Fang Zhiyao panicked for no reason: This is too fast!

As if guessing what she was thinking, the girl smiled and said, "Once you start doing it, you will know soon."

Years of vigilance, panic, uneasiness, apprehension, confusion, and the heavy burden on her shoulders made Fang Zhiyao, who is decisive in the business field, no longer have the courage and courage to do this matter.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Zhiyao calmed down the many emotions that surged up in her heart for a moment. Fang Zhiyao looked at the girl and explained why she came: "Miss Jiang Si can make the decision on this matter. I am here today because of a merciless relationship." Please ask Miss Jiang Si for help!"
