Chapter 636

"I want to ask Miss Xu to lend this letter to Ji Xiu and Ji Shangshu for me." Xu Mingyi took out a letter from his arms.

Few people know that the real owner behind Shangyu Pavilion is Ji Xiu.

But she and Miss Xu already knew.

At the beginning, I secretly reminded Miss Xu's sister that Xu Su's death was related to Xia Han, which was done by the Ji family.

The reason why she doesn't go to Shangyu pavilion to find her mother is very simple - there are many dignitaries in and out of Shangyu Pavilion, and she is afraid to be seen through. As the big shopkeeper of Shangyu Pavilion, Yu's wife can't see it when she sees it.

As for asking the Ming Imperial Shi to make an appointment with Ji Xiu directly for her, there are many disadvantages.

On the one hand, Su Rili, the imperial historian of the Ming Dynasty, never made friends with Ji Xiu. They approached rashly. If they were caught by the wanted guard, there would be a lot of trouble.

What's more, now that everything has not been decided, she can't be very sure whether Jixiu has changed her mind. That's why she doesn't want Jixiu to know that she borrowed the help of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. She doesn't want to expose the position of the emperor of the Ming dynasty or her foothold.

This time in Beijing, there is no room for any carelessness. The other party is in the light and she is in the dark. It is most safe to take the initiative in everything.

It's the least noticeable way to ask Miss Xu to lend this letter to Ji Xiu.

Xu Ying has received the letter: "don't worry, I'll take care of it."

It's just a letter. She can handle this little thing well.

She didn't ask a word more, and didn't even show the slightest curiosity. For example, she made a promise to know why she wanted to see Ji Xiu.

After thinking about it, he asked, "but I'm in a hurry?"

"Don't worry, I made an appointment in my letter to meet him in three days."

"In that case, I'll go to find Yu's wife tomorrow." Xu Ying said: "although no one is watching my shop, if you leave the front foot, my back foot will go out to find someone. I'm still afraid of being seen by someone with a heart... Be careful."

It's nothing for her to send a letter. She can't ruin Miss Xu's plan.

Xu Mingyi nodded, "OK, tomorrow."

He got up and saluted: "thank you, Miss Xu."

At this juncture, it is natural for Xu Ying to refuse her help.

People living in the world should be grateful for every help.

"Thank me for what I've done. It's just a little effort." Xu Ying got up and held the girl's arm. With a smile, she whispered, "this is all Miss Xu's smooth road, so Miss Xu's future road will be smooth."

Xu Mingyi was stunned.

Huatan——

When she helped Xu Ying before, she didn't think of any so-called return.

Just like my grandfather's original words, "if even our Xu family dare not help, no one in the capital will be able to help this girl", and "justice can't only be in the hearts of the people" - all are just for the sake of peace of conscience.

But now it's like there's cause and effect in everything.

Xu Ying's story is just a small epitome.

If you think carefully, what Linyuan gives to the Xu family is also a two-way gift to each other.

But don't ask the future for good deeds, but the future has a smooth way.

Although things in the world are unpredictable, there are still some causes and effects in the unpredictable.

Half an hour later, Xu Mingyi left Suyu square with two empty boxes.

When the carriage passed Qingyun square, she subconsciously looked at the direction of the town government.

Although it is still far away, we can still see cornices, high pavilions and Zhumen long courtyard, extending more than half of Qingyun square.

I don't know what happened to Yunbo and them

Xu Mingyi didn't dare to see more. He quickly took back his sight and continued to drive forward.

……

Xu Ying picked up a snack box early the next morning and went to Shangyu pavilion to find Yu's wife.

The next day, in Ji's house, the housekeeper held two account books in front of Ji Xiu.

Although he was reluctant to handle official affairs for the emperor, he had to do it at the last minute.

He knows that some things can only play their greatest role when they are in their own hands.

In order to tighten the, we must work harder than before.

"You don't have to show me these things. Just check them yourself." Ji Xiu didn't care about these account books. However, after thinking about it, he added, "I'll send someone to Wan'er. In the future, all the account books will be sent to her. If you don't understand, you can teach more."

The old housekeeper answered "yes" and said, "in addition to the account books, Mrs. Yu also sent a letter saying that someone found her and asked her to hand it over to the master."

While talking, the housekeeper took the letter out of his sleeve.

Ji Xiu frowned when he heard this. There are not many people who know the relationship between Shangyu Pavilion and him. Who will send him a letter through Shangyu pavilion?

This is undoubtedly strange.

"Who entrusted her to deliver the letter?" Ji Xiu asked as he opened the letter.

The old housekeeper shook his head: "Mrs. Yu said she didn't know. The man didn't disclose his identity. He just said that this letter is important. After adults read it, they will understand."

Xu Ying did not disclose to Mrs. Yu that the messenger was Xu Mingyi, and Mrs. Yu did not mention Xu Ying's name with the Ji family.

See and understand?

Ji Xiu looked at the few words on the letter and frowned deeper. It was not difficult to kill a fly.

He doesn't even have a signature. He really understands

What on earth can he understand?

He only wrote the place and time of the meeting, and put it here to confuse him?

Who knows if it's a trap set by an uneasy and kind-hearted person?

"You go down first." Ji Xiu read it twice again and put the letter down for the time being.

The housekeeper retreated.

But I met Ji Wanyou who came to deliver tonic soup outside the study.

"Girl."

"Ning Bo."

Soon the door of the study was knocked, and a servant passed through the door: "Sir, here comes the girl."

"Come in."

Looking at his daughter who came in, Ji Xiu frowned and unfolded: "Why are you cooking again? Just leave these things to the servant."

"I have nothing to do, and there's nothing I can do to help my father." Ji Wanyou came to the book case, put down the tray and pushed the soup bowl in front of his father: "try it while it's hot and drive out the cold."

As he said that, his sight just fell on the letter paper. First, he swept it unconsciously, but he couldn't help looking at it.

When I looked carefully, I was surprised and asked in a low voice, "Miss Xu... About meeting my father?!"

There was no one else in the study, and the servants stayed outside.

Ji Xiu was stunned.

Then I looked at the letter paper and there was a roar in my head.

Miss Xu

It's possible!

But because the other party was far away in Linyuan, he could not think about it immediately——

But

"How do you know it's the letter from Miss Xu?" he asked his daughter.

"This is Miss Xu's handwriting... I've seen it before, don't you recognize it?" Ji Wanyou glanced at his father puzzled, and his eyes fell on the small line of words - Miss Xu's words are so beautiful that how many people can write them? Does father have any eyes for beauty?

Ji Xiu was silent for a moment.

It turned out to be such a "read and understand".

Miss Xu thinks highly of him

Think of him as a rough man. His literary attainments are not much higher than the Duke of the town. I expect him to recognize people by handwriting. Isn't that casting pearls before swine?

"The letter said it was the next day..." Ji Wanyou said, "father, go with me then."

Ji Xiu raised his eyes and looked at his daughter suspiciously:... Who's with whom?

"You're confused again." Ji Wanyou pointed to the letter paper: "Suyu square is a jewelry shop. If you don't follow me, do you want to go shopping by yourself?"

Jewelry shop.

Ji Xiu nodded and confessed, "Wan'er, remember not to make a statement about it."

"This is nature." Ji Wanyou looked at his father: "I want to tell you not to tell people what to see."

With her father's dazed appearance, she was really worried that she would expose Miss Xu's whereabouts. She needed her to stare.

However, Miss Xu came to Beijing alone

Just think about how risky it is.

Ji Wanyou was worried and asked, "father, do you know why Miss Xu wants to see you?"

She would never risk meeting her father unless it was important.

Ji xiudao: "it should be to talk about old things."

While talking, he threw the letter and the envelope into the brazier.

Old story

Ji Wanyou secretly weighed the weight of these two words.

"By the way, Wan'er." Ji Xiu patted the two books beside his hand and said, "in the future, you should try to take care of these businesses at home. If your father is gone, these things will be used as your side."

He had secretly set up these properties in order to leave a way back for his daughter if something happened to him one day.

Ji Wanyou looked at the account book for a moment, and then looked at his father: "why did his father suddenly say such words? Was he afraid that the king of Yan would gain power in the future and turn over the old accounts with his father? I heard that his Highness the king of Yan was broad-minded and had personally explained the truth with his father before. Seeing him in the lacquer shop that night, it was clear that he was not a vindictor, and that his father was deceived -"

At this point, he gave a slight pause and said, "but in any case, he must bear the responsibility for doing wrong... If there is a chance to make up for it in the future, his father must seize it."

Is to make up for, but also self-help.

If she's right, I think Miss Xu is the one who built the bridge when I saw her in Pingqing hall last time.

Ji Xiu nodded: "don't worry, father has made arrangements."

As for how to make up for one or two, he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Later, if my father is no longer an official, we will move out of the capital. My daughter will carefully manage these industries and keep them. She will not starve her father." Ji Wanyou picked up the two books of accounts and held them in front of him, smiling and saying.

Ji Xiu also smiled: "OK, Wan'er, study hard..."

"Drink the soup quickly. It's getting cold."

"OK, Dad, try it!"

……

The next afternoon, the carriage of Ji's father and daughter appeared on Xiyi street.

In Suyu workshop, I saw a guest coming, and the waiter hurriedly welcomed him.

Ji Wanyou takes the girl to look at the jewelry, while Ji Xiu sits aside and waits.

At this time, Xu Ying "just" came from the back hall. Seeing Ji Xiu sitting there, she smiled and said, "there is an elegant room in the back with tea. The master can go and have a seat."

This is the rule of Suyu square.

Ji Wanyou was watching with a coral hairpin in his hand. He smelled the speech and said, "father, I have to pick it for a while. You might as well go inside and wait."

Ji Xiu nodded, got up and walked slowly to the elegant room.

As expected, there were already people waiting there.

When the man saw him coming in, he raised his hand and saluted, "Ji Shangshu."

Ji Xiu took the first two steps and asked uncertainly, "Miss Xu?"

Is this yellow and dark boy really miss Xu?

Xu Mingyi smiled: "it's me. Can't Ji Shangshu even hear my voice?"

Before she left Linyuan, she asked doctor Qiu for some ways to improve her appearance. If Ji Xiu could recognize her at a glance, she would be worried.

"... when did Miss Xu enter Beijing?" Ji Xiu reluctantly adapted to the face in front of him.

"It's been a few days. Let Ji Shangshu sit down and talk."

When they sat down, Ji Xiu said, "why hasn't Xu Jiajun sent a letter since he arrived in Linyuan? These days, it's called Ji yitonghao."

He thought that Xu Jiajun and King Yan had made up their minds to attack to the end, and they didn't need him anymore - if so, what would his Wan'er do?

Moreover, he also wanted to see with his own eyes the day when the emperor was completely despised by the people all over the world, otherwise it would be difficult to solve his hatred.

Hearing the urgency in his tone, Xu Mingyi was surprised.

She was worried that the other party would change her mind. Now it seems that the other party is worried that she will change her mind

This is very good and saves a lot of words.

She said, "I just found the opportunity to enter the city recently. I'm afraid the message will be intercepted. Such a big event naturally requires an interview."

Ji Xiu didn't say much, but went straight to the point and asked, "I don't know what's next? Do you have to wait until King Yan invades the capital?"

"I can't explain the specific details with Ji Shangshu now. I hope Ji Shangshu can understand this." the girl's tone is very sincere: "I'm here to determine adult Ji's determination and position, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the next thing."

Now she can't guarantee that Jixiu won't change. All plans are still under deployment. In order to keep everything safe, she must keep it confidential.

Her words were frank enough. Ji Xiu thought for a moment, but was not angry. Instead, he said, "I understand that you don't have to explain the overall plan to me. If there is anything I need to do, just tell me alone."

It's a good thing for the little girl to be vigilant. If she doesn't tell him, she won't tell others, so as to ensure that she won't reveal the plan.

He only needs the result, and how the process has little to do with him.

After all, he can't be said to be a conspirator with the Xu family and the king of Yan. To put it bluntly, he only needs to obey orders now in order to exchange what he wants.

He saw this clearly enough.

This is a good thing for Xu Mingyi. What she needs is a clear-minded collaborator.

Next, they talked about some unplanned arrangements.

Including all the truth about the death of the former Emperor in that year - Ji Xiu has told it all.

Nearly half an hour later, Ji Xiu returned to the front hall.

"Wan'er, haven't you finished yet?"

Looking at the girl who chose to wear jewelry with the servant girl in front of the counter, Ji Xiu was helpless.

"The master doesn't know something. The daughter has to compare things carefully." the man answered with a smile on his face and no impatience.

"Yes, my father doesn't know this." Ji Wanyou pointed to the one in the tray and said, "these, and these, I want them all."

It's always hard to tell my brother to work for so long.

The man smiled more: "Hey! I'll wrap it up for you!"

……

It's night, the silent moon is hanging high, and the cloud yarn mistily blows over the Xingzi.

In the long princess's house, Princess Yufeng lay lazily on the beauty's couch. Two teenagers knelt on the soft blanket in front of her. One beat her legs, and the other was reading to her with a script.

"What's all this? Why does this woman have to be widowed for the general? Since she looks like an immortal and is so young, why can't she marry another one? Don't listen. She was tired of listening. She covered her mouth and yawned and said," get back. "

The two teenagers answered "yes" and withdrew.

Shi Shi came over and helped the man up: "your servant will wait on you and have a rest."

The voice was about to fall, but suddenly I heard a "dududu -" sound from the window lattice.
