The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 32 Difficulties
Cheng Huaijin led a group of brocade guards not only captured many unidentified men in black, but also surrounded an official family living on this street, and brought out a middle-aged man in his forties in casual clothes for a while. There were two young men in their 20s and a teenager in their teens.

Jin Yiwei tied the four people into a string with ropes and dragged them to run after the horses, while the men in black removed their jaws and joints of their hands and feet in the street and threw them on a bullock cart to take them away.

Ji Songxian watched from the window on both sides of the street. All the small businessmen ran away in fright, and every household locked their doors tightly and did not dare to come out. When he came out to attract guests, there were no pedestrians, and he immediately understood the fear of Jin Yiwei in people's hearts.

She watched Cheng Huaijin come towards the teahouse after finishing her work, and immediately closed the window tightly and asked Yuan Liang to take some mung bean cakes to guard the door.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ji Songxian heard Cheng Huaijin ask Rao Liang outside the door: "Where's your girl? It's peaceful outside now, if your girl wants to go back, she can do it."

Zuoliang should be extremely frightened, and whispered: "The girl from the Nu family is still inside, my lord, slave, I will call the girl right now."

Ji Songxian stood up, straightened his clothes and opened the door, took a look at Cheng Huaijin, and pulled the frightened Ling Liang to his side: "Commander, do you have any ink?"

Cheng Huaijin looked at a general flag standing by the door, and the man immediately smiled and said, "Young one, let's look for it."

Afterwards, Ji Songxian saw Zongqi bring the waiter over, and the waiter was also frightened, and came over tremblingly with a tray, which contained pens and ink.

Ji Songxian took the tray and went into the room, picked up a pen and drew a blueprint on the paper, and went out to hand the blueprint to Cheng Huaijin: "Ling Ci left some things for Sir, if you have time, you can find them according to the blueprint. , it’s getting late for the little girl to come out, I’m afraid my parents will miss me, so let’s say goodbye.”

Xingxing said that she and her party performed a blessing ceremony in an upright manner, called out to Liang Liang, and went downstairs with the Liang Liang.

Cheng Huaijin looked at the blueprint folded and put it in his arms, and followed Ji Songxian downstairs, just in time to see Uncle Wu checking out at the shopkeeper, Cheng Huaijin immediately went over and patted on the counter: "It's mine on the account."

His words frightened the shopkeeper's face, and he immediately bowed and said, "This time, it's just a small shop inviting some guests."

Cheng Huaijin's face turned cold again, he took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and threw it down: "I'm not at the point where I'm waiting for the overlord's meal."

Throwing away these words, he took two general flags and left, and didn't look back until he went out.

Seeing that he was gone, Ji Songxian took Uncle Wu and Raoliang out of the teahouse. He didn't see clearly upstairs just now. After he came out, Ji Songxian took a few glances before getting into the carriage. There were so many puddles of blood on the ground, and the smell of blood all over the street was so strong that the hearts of those who smelled it were beating drums.

She only felt that her legs and feet were a little weak, and she slumped on the carriage for a long time, unable to recover.

"I'm scared to death." Rao Liang was obviously frightened, and he patted his chest and gasped: "I heard people say that Jin Yiwei is very powerful, and anyone dares to catch him. Today, it's true... the commander went to the side It almost froze the slave in one stop, and it’s still so cold to this day.”

The words of Rao Liang made Ji Songxian's fear a lot lighter. Seeing the terrified look on Rao Liang's small face, his eyes wide open, and his cheeks puffed up like a bun, Ji Songxian really I couldn't help laughing out loud, stretched out my finger and poked on the cheek of the Liang Liang, it was soft, very similar to white bread, poked it again, it felt very good, so I changed the poke to twist, and twisted twice Seeing how pitiful Rao Liang was with tears in his eyes, Ji Songxian hurriedly sat upright and coughed and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm here with your girl, I won't let them arrest you after all, I know you still have it in your purse." There are a few pieces of snacks, eat quickly."

"Ah!" Rao Liang hurriedly took out a piece of mung bean cake from his purse, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed hard twice and said vaguely: "I am not afraid now, the master is the prime minister, no matter what, they dare not arrest the slave."

"En." Ji Songxian nodded: "Your master is Xiangye, you have a strong backing, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

At this point, she couldn't help herself and laughed first.

After returning home, Ji Songxian went back to the house first and opened the several boxes he had found one by one, and saw that the jewels and jewels in them were so beautiful.

One box is full of beautiful jade, another box is full of finger-sized pearls of various colors, another box is full of head jewelry, and the last box contains those silver box office deeds and so on.

She took out and counted, a total of 10 taels of silver bills. There are three shops on Jinling's bustling road, a three-entry house not far from Ji's house, and a ten-tilt Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city. Lots of salt.

Ji Songxian finished checking one by one and put the things away, holding his chin and thinking, there are only so many things she secretly hid, not to mention the dowry that is still in Duke Cheng's mansion. Everyone was jealous and wanted to scramble, not to mention other things, those houses and land alone were enough for a family with a small population to spend their entire lives.

It's just that her status is not good enough to manage these things, Ji Songxian is thinking about how to find a way to sell the shop and Zhuangzi, and the Yanyin must be sold as soon as possible, otherwise it will be invalidated after the date.

She did some calculations again, and it cost her more than 1 taels of silver when she got those Yanyin. Easy, now that the price of Yanyin is getting higher and higher, if the 1 taels of Yanyin are sold, it might be worth 3 taels of silver.

Calculated based on her current food and expenses, 3 taels of silver is enough for her to spend... Well, it has been several lifetimes.

It's just that she is a boudoir girl now, it's not easy to do these things without someone reliable, Ji Songxian thought for a while and then turned his idea to Ji Zhen.

Judging from her time spent together, the eighth brother, Ji Zhen, is the most lively and intelligent, and he is not ashamed of business affairs, and has the best relationship with her. If she asks, Ji Zhen may not be able to help this busy.

After packing up the house deeds, land deeds and salt, Ji Songxian locked all the other things in the cabinet, and then he asked Zhou Liang to go find Ji Zhen by himself.

When I arrived at an exquisite courtyard house where Ji Zhen lived in Dongkuayuan, Ji Songxian pushed the door and went in, and saw Ji Zhen's book boy Qingkui cleaning the yard. Seeing Ji Songxian, Qingkui hurriedly put down the broom and came over to pay respects: "Ninth girl is here to find eighth girl." Damn it, there was a visitor just now, and Eighth Master went with the master to see the guest."

"Is the master at home?" Ji Songxian didn't expect Ji Yi to come back so early today: "Which adult is visiting?"

Qing Kui thought for a while: "It seems to be the masters of the Ministry of Industry."

"What are people from the Ministry of Industry doing here?" Ji Songxian didn't understand, but she had no reason to leave immediately after she came, so she said to Qingkui, "I'll wait in my elder brother's room, sweep the floor, don't you?" Pay attention to me."

It is a usual thing for her to come to Ji Zhen's place, and she is also very familiar with Ji Zhen's room. When she entered the room, she found a book and read it, and told her to play around the beam.

Rao Liang is at the age of fun, so he is naturally willing to go out to relax, so he smiled and jumped out to pick flowers and find grass.

Ji Songxian read a few pages before she wanted to stand up and move her body, when she heard footsteps outside the door, she was overjoyed and ran to the door with a smile: "Brother Eight."

Ji Zhen pushed the door open and went straight in, seeing Ji Songxian's smiling face, he also smiled, rolled up Tsing Yi's wide sleeves and pointed to a small box next to the table: "I went out to visit friends and saw something interesting on the side of the road. It looks good, you can play with it."

Ji Songxian thanked him, ran over to take the small box and opened it, only to find a delicate and unique mask inside, that mask was like a miniature version of Ji Songxian, only a little cuter than her, Ji Songxian was overjoyed when he saw it , hurriedly thanked Ji Zhen.

After the two brothers and sisters were seated, Ji Songxian asked, "What are you adults doing at our house?"

Speaking of this matter, Ji Zhen sighed: "My lords, it is not easy. No, the moat should be repaired, and the city wall should be strengthened. In addition, there is a lot of rain in summer. Your Majesty is afraid that the south of the city will sink. It is not beautiful to flood the houses, so I asked the adults to dredge the ditches in the city before the rainy season, and let people clean the drainage channels, so as not to be in a hurry when there is a heavy rain. It is really difficult to put all these projects in one place. It's tight, first of all there is not enough manpower, you know how the people of Jinling are, they are all pampered, no one can do such a laborious work for how much money, and the time limit given by His Majesty is extremely short The adults in the Ministry of Industry calculated for a long time and felt that there was not enough time, so the adults had no choice but to come to the father for an idea, and then complained about the lack of manpower in the Ministry of Industry, and wanted to ask Father to find a way to go to the Ministry of Industry Call in a group of people."

Ji Zhen said for a while, and Ji Songxian nodded for a while. She knew that the people in Jinling were pampered, but she didn't know that the Ministry of Industry had such difficulties. When he was in Cheng Guogong's mansion, Cheng Ping'an had great ambitions and only thought about how to earn a lot of money. How to be reused by His Majesty, only focus on the big picture, he never said such trivial things.

Thinking about it now, Ji Songxian only feels that people like Cheng Pingan are really big-eyed and empty-minded.

I just want to leave a name in history, make great achievements, earn a lot of money and marry many beautiful girls, but I have never really been a down-to-earth person, and I have never started from the little things. It is like a tall building, no matter how tall and magnificent, But the foundation is not stable, and it is very easy to collapse if there is any external cause.

Thinking of this, Ji Songxian's heart suddenly brightened, because she was thinking that she could not say that it would be safe one day, so she suddenly fell down with the wind like that building.

However, this idea was only fleeting. Seeing Ji Zhen's sad face, she said in her mouth, "Father has no good idea, so I can only comfort the lords, saying that we should find one or two supply workers who can do practical things from among the alternate officials. department."
