Tong Jia anecdote

" Ji Lan looked at it carefully and read it lightly, and couldn't help smiling knowingly.

"We banner people can't live without thumbs." Tong Jiu took her hand, took the emerald one and rubbed it on her thumb, looked up at Ji Lan, held her hand tightly in his palm, and said every word Said, "Just like me, I can't live without you."

"Okay, let's go take a bath." Ji Lan took a white jade one and put it on for her, and let her braids loose again, "Didn't you think about giving Hongxiao one too?"

"She loves gold and coral, and has never cared about these jades." Tong Jiu slowly sank into the bathing pool, leaned against the pool wall, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I haven't seen you pay much attention to your clothes. You are not a 'female college extrovert'?" Ji Lan leaned down and looked at the contented appearance of her leaning on her, and suddenly became playful.

Lifting his sleeves, he took the ladle from the wooden barrel, scooped a ladle of spring water from the pool, and poured it slowly from the top of Tong Jiu's hair, and asked, "How much is Jiuye's confidante, enough to be satisfied?"

Tong Jiu raised her head and closed her eyes, letting the warm spring water pour down from her head.

When Ji Lan was about to scoop up another ladle, she suddenly felt that her hand was caught by her, and she fell into the pool unsteadily, but she was hugged by Tong Jiu who was under the pool when she exclaimed.

Wiping the water off his face, he saw that the perpetrator was laughing recklessly, feeling that the clothes all over his body were soaked in water, Ji Lan dropped the ladle in his hand, and twisted Tong Jiu angrily. Holding his arm, he said, "How can you be such a mess."

"No matter how sweet this water is, just pouring a ladle is enough." Tong Jiu rubbed her pinched arm, reached out to unbutton Ji Lan, and smiled and said obediently, "Just take it off when it's wet, what's the hurry ? In the past few days, Madam has been working hard, and I will do my best to serve Madam undress and take a bath."

"Who wants you to do this kind of heart." Ji Lan knocked out the dishonest hand in the water, put down his bun, and shook his long hair.

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble." Tong Jiu continued to loosen her clothes, gently hugged her to his shoulder, and took off the soaked flag dress.

Ji Lan naturally climbed onto her shoulders, put his arms around the back of her neck, and sighed, "People are weird. You always make such a fuss. It's annoying. But you haven't been here for five days, and it's been so quiet. My night No sleep at night."

"What's the point of always being like a pool of stagnant water?" Tong Jiu tore off the strap on the back of her little coat with one hand, grabbed a wet towel and wiped her back, and said, "What did Han Xianwu mean just now? He What happened to the third child?"

"The 20 taels of silver were robbed on the road. When Han Lufu reported to the government, he made a big fuss in the yamen, and he was beaten and put in jail." Ji Lan played with Tong Jiu's hair, and said lazily, "I will be escorted back to my hometown. "

"Snatched?" Tong Jiu helped her up from her arms, and asked in disbelief, "20 taels of silver, is it all gone?"

"I asked Jing Fu to find someone to grab it." Ji Lan said disapprovingly.

"Hahaha." After hearing this, Tong Jiu was amused by Ji Lan's upright and playful appearance, "What kind of clever trick did I use as a wife, but I just used robbing."

"A gentleman is a gentleman when he meets a gentleman. With them, there is no need to spend so much thought. Huizhengsheng in Guangzhou has been unable to collect his account for a long time. The other party is a timber merchant. This year, the timber market in Guangzhou is not good, so he finally took the gold wire. Nanmu paid off the debt." Ji Lan thought, "I'm worried that the Guangzhou branch will be short of money and I won't be able to turn over money. With these 20 taels filled in, we can solve our urgent need."

"How precious is golden nanmu? It can be said that it is hard to find a piece of wood in the capital. This trip back is just in time for the construction in Beijing." Tong Jiu said happily, "It is bound to sell for a good price."

He said quickly, "In this way, Han Xianwu lost the money and owed us 20 yuan. He offended the clan again, not to mention the loss of the original bonus, and a son."

"For someone like your second room, you have to pinch him seven inches hard and softly, so that he is willing to be controlled by you." Ji Lan said strategically, "I will not save Han Lufu in the open, but I will let Su Keha put him in private." Let it go, let it go for no apparent reason. In the future, if they dare to make a slight mistake again, they will immediately arrest him and bring him into the yamen."

He stroked Tong Jiu's face as he spoke, "I gave him bonuses in the past, and he felt that he should share them. I will give him more in the future, and how much we will give depends on our mood."

The two soaked for a while, both felt a little sleepy, so they got out of the bath to wipe off casually, put on their clothes and took a nap in the warm pavilion behind.

"It's true that worrying and working can rejuvenate the country, and Yiyu can die." Tong Jiu lay on the couch with her head tilted, and Ji Lan wiped the water from her hair with a buckskin towel.

Listening to her expressing emotion, "At this time last year, I was bumping day and night on horseback outside the customs, and I didn't feel tired at all. Now, it's only a long way from here to Yangzhou, and my body seems to be falling apart."

"It's been a long time since you rode a horse so far. Kuang Yuexin just passed, and her body is empty." Ji Lan and Tong Jiu lay side by side, looked at her and said, "Daughter's family, I have never seen someone who is willing to endure hardships like you." .There are not a few people who have bad luck in their families, but there are also many people who just find someone to marry."

"If that wasn't the case, how could I be lucky enough to meet you?" Tong Jiu smiled gratifiedly, touched the finger on her hand, and said, "Do you know? Others say that you have climbed me, and you often say that in front of others. "

"But I'm very clear about my size." As he spoke, he pulled Ji Lan's hand and patted it on his heart, "If I don't live up to myself, how can I be a good match for you? When two people are together, they should just get better and better. . If there is really something in the future, you don’t need me to protect you, and I can’t protect you, that’s a completely different thing.”

"Speaking of protecting..." Ji Lan frowned annoyedly, shook Tong Jiu's hand, and asked, "You really don't care about your childhood sweetheart?"

Seeing that Tong Jiu was silent, Ji Lan said leisurely, "You guys are born for life, and I am bored for boredom, but after all, she is a dear friend and a poor person. You can persuade her. If she is willing to listen, she is willing to be serious." For sale, let her transport this batch of nanmu back."

"Aji..." Tong Jiu turned around and looked at her, not knowing what to say.

"Even if you don't bother to coax me, I won't watch her jump into the fire pit and stand by." Ji Lan rubbed Tong Jiu's forehead, "'two people are at peace', if you want to calm down, calm down first. She If there is something, how can you feel at ease?"

"Aji." Tong Jiu touched her with his finger, and said, "I didn't do this because I wanted you to do something for me, and I didn't want you to do something for her. It was just because I wanted to do this. I think good for you."

Seeing Ji Lan's charming appearance thinking about herself, Tong Jiu said again, "The so-called, after entering the lovesickness gate, you will know the pain of lovesickness. If you are not together for a few days, you can't sleep day and night, why not me, at this moment Embarrassed at night?"

"If I knew it was such a stumbling block, why didn't I know each other before?" Ji Lan muttered and nodded, reaching out and pulling Tong Jiu's ear.

"When did I say that!" Tong Jiu hurriedly covered her ears, and argued unfairly, "I didn't say..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Lan pulled her closer and kissed him straight.

?<one one three>

The two took a nap for a while, and when they woke up, they both felt empty in their stomachs.When Tong Jiu came back, although Ji Lan still looked lazy and indifferent, he ordered Fu Chaqin to let the dining room prepare dishes early in the morning.

Seeing the two of them getting up, the maids, big and small, brought the food boxes and began to serve them one after another.

"Hey, are these delicious?" Tong Jiujin pulled on the soft shoes, tied the buttons on his robe, looked at the various delicacies on the table, and sighed, "It's good to be at home for a thousand days."

"Ahem——." Hong Xiao came in with a pot of milk tea and poured a bowl for Tong Jiu, cleared her throat while pouring, and gave her a wink as she passed the milk tea.

"What's the matter?" Tong Jiu sniffed the fragrance of the milk tea, sat down and blew on the milk tea disapprovingly, and said, "There is no outsider here, tell me!"

"Miss Biao has bought a new house in the north of the city. I heard that you are back, so I asked the butler to hand over a post, and invite you to dinner." The post was "slapped" onto the desktop in front of her.

Tong Jiu took the post and flipped through it, and saw that it didn't say to invite Ji Lan to go with her, but at this moment Ji Lan combed her hair and walked in.So, said in a deep voice, "I'm going back, just say I just came back, and I have to rest for a while."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Lan, who was sitting down and washing his hands, and said, "Also, tell her, now that we are all grown up, Madam values ​​dignity very much. She... a widow who is unemployed, invites me to come over, Ma'am won't go, please excuse me for the inconvenience." After finishing speaking, he closed the post and pushed it to the table, pondered for a while, "Go and pick out a few pairs of vases, if you want them, let the housekeeper take them back."

"Why respect so much?" Ji Lan put the towel on the copper basin, took a look at the post, and asked Tong Jiu with great interest, "Do you not want to go? Or are you afraid to go?"

"Me? Of course I don't want to go." Tong Jiu rubbed the center of her brows, "I dare not go either." He waved his hand to Hong Xiao as he spoke, "Go, that's it."

"Wait a minute." Ji Lan put down the post, wiped her hands again, and said, "It's human nature that she doesn't want to see me. If she really invited me, it would be fake." She said to Hong Xiao, "Just say nine Master Jiu is having lunch. Later, you and Jing Fu can go with Master Jiu."

When Hong Xiao went out, Tong Jiu served some soup to Ji Lan, and said, "I'll just persuade her this time for the last time, if she refuses to listen again, I will ask for blessings."

"It's as if it's true..." Ji Lan slowly scooped up the soup in the bowl, and said, "You don't have her in your heart, so why not meet her."

"I don't have her in my heart, but you do." Tong Jiu shook her head helplessly, but Ji Lan must have such a neither salty nor bland appearance when it comes to things with Mu Yun.

Thinking that she was still so eager in the bed curtain just now, Tong Jiu couldn't help but smile, and whispered ambiguously, "Besides, I really want to have a good rest in the mansion with Aji."

"Are you going to eat or not?" Ji Lan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in feigned anger.

"Eat, eat, eat, there are so many delicious and delicious foods, why don't you eat them?" Tong Jiu changed into a cute expression while speaking, sat down seriously, picked up some dishes with chopsticks and went to Jilan into his bowl, and said politely, "Madam, please use it."

Ji Lan saw that she came back, she just ate a meal and kept making noises like this, shook her head, and sighed, "I don't know what I like about you."

"Why do you fancy me? It's me who pesters you and insists on being with you forever." Tong Jiu smiled triumphantly, and said to herself, "There is nothing more satisfying than this."

These days, Ji Lan was busy preparing new medicines, and after dinner, she sent Tong Jiu to Mu Yun's house, and then went to the study.

Tong Jiu took Hong Xiao and Jing Fu halfway, and shopkeeper Chen, who was helping to load the ship on the pier, sent a boy to say that someone from the Cao Gang would invite Jing Fu to come over.I asked, but it was just to settle the freight of the previous shipments.Thinking that there was nothing else going on here, he let Jing Fu go with the boy.

"It can be regarded as waiting for you." Tong Jiu and Hong Xiao just arrived in front of Mu Yun's mansion, before dismounting, Mu Yun came out from the gatehouse and led Tong Jiu's horse, watching Tong Jiu get down, Some complained to Hong Xiao, "Why did you let her ride a horse in such a hot day?"

"She is used to riding a horse, and she only said that the sun is not very bright, so she would not listen to me." Hong Xiao smiled and greeted Mu Yun, Tong Jiu had already walked towards the mansion with her hands behind her back, and was startled when she entered the door.

Hong Xiao and Mu Yun were walking behind, seeing her standing there suddenly, staring straight at the marble screen in the courtyard, wondering what was wrong, she also took a look, and couldn't help being surprised.This screen was actually exactly the same as the one placed in Tong Jiu's yard when he was in Tong's mansion that day.

"What are you doing standing there, go inside quickly, I asked them to cut up the watermelon." Mu Yun fanned Tong Jiu while muttering distressedly, "Look at the sweat on this side."

Tong Jiu walked around the screen, looked at the hanging flower door inside and the verandas on both sides, walked quickly through the hallway familiarly, looked at the five upper rooms in front of him, and did not go in.

Instead, she went around to the verandahs on both sides of the mountain, like she did when she was a child, with her hands behind her back and her head up, watching the carvings of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and the three heroes fighting Lu Bu on the beams, then closed her eyes and listened to the songs hanging in the wing room. The singing of birds such as parrots and thrushes.

Everything is there, Tong Jiu rubbed his somewhat blurred eyes, looking at Mu Yun and Hong Xiao who were standing on the steps of the main room looking at him, tears could not stop pouring out.

"Jiu'er..." Mu Yun came over and wiped the hot tears on Tong Jiu's face with a handkerchief, took her head and leaned on his shoulder, and once choked up and said, "Jiu'er, I know you I haven't forgotten, and I haven't forgotten either." As she spoke, she hugged Tong Jiu's hand tightly, almost clutching the material behind Tong Jiu's back, "I can't forget these."

"Come into the room." Hong Xiao looked at the two people who were hugging their heads and were sad, especially the bulging veins on Tong Jiu's forehead, and advised, "Jiu Ge'er's illness is not cured yet, those former If so, stop talking."

"It's my fault." Mu Yun wiped the tears from his face, dragged Tong Jiu to the main room, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing that you are willing to come to see me, but I'm sad."

Hearing what she said, Tong Jiu frowned guiltily, and Hong Xiao twisted a towel for her to wipe her face.

"It's not comfortable sitting here, let's go to the east room." Watching the maids come in with iced watermelons, Mu Yun got up and said.In the past, Tong Jiu and her mostly lived in the side room.

The maids put the watermelons on the plum-blossom table on the kang and retreated.

Tong Jiu looked at the big kang by the window, which was covered with autumn-scented mattresses, and on the top of the kang was a pillow of cloth tiger.

"There's no one else here, let's sit on the kang with wider outer robes." Mu Yun untied the mandarin jacket and robes for Tong Jiu, and Tong Jiu felt much refreshed, so she simply put on her boots, crossed her legs and gnawed at the kang table. watermelon.

"Well, sweet!" After taking a mouthful of watermelon, Tong Jiu nodded and ate a few more mouthfuls, and said to Mu Yun and Hong Xiao, "Don't just look at me, you can eat too."

After eating watermelon and clearing the table, Mu Yun brought fruit wine and other food.

Looking at Tong Jiu who was leaning on the cloth tiger with Erlang's legs crossed and playing with the snuff bottle contentedly, he said to Hong Xiao, "It's still early for us to drink ours, so we're not in a hurry to leave, and we'll go back after dinner. "

"Mu Yun, didn't you spend a lot of money on this house?" Tong Jiu took a look at another ceramic snuff bottle on the shelf, and finally asked, "Did you sell opium when you were in Guangdong?"

Mu Yun drank the wine and said, "I know, Fucha Jilan asked you to persuade me to sell timber. I received a letter from her when I was in Guangdong a few days ago. I appreciate her kindness, but she How many good intentions can reach you?"

"Jiu'er, don't worry about my affairs." He raised his glass to Tong Jiu while speaking.

Tong Jiu nodded, not wanting to persuade her anymore, she unscrewed the lid of the snuff bottle with her hand, lowered her head and inhaled, only to feel a sweet and strange fragrance pouring into her heart and lungs from her nose, making her head go "buzzing" "A shock.

"Hey, what kind of smoke is this, so strong?" Tong Jiu looked at the white snuff in the snuff bottle in a daze, and said, "It doesn't look like sweet-scented osmanthus, it's so fragrant..." He felt a little tight in his chest, The watermelon I ate just now also flipped up.

"Miss Biao, I can't do it..." Hong Xiao staggered and stood up while supporting the table, "I'm a little sleepy."

"Come here, help sister Hong go down to rest." Mu Yun called a few maids to help Hong Xiao out.

Looking at Tong Jiu who was crouching on the kang and rubbing his head, Mu Yun tightened the handkerchief in his hand, and with a sudden heart, he pulled out a few incense sticks and lit them.

"Aji?" Tong Jiugang still felt dizzy, but there was a scent coming from nowhere, his heart became irritable, and his surroundings became hot as if on fire, his mind was full of the scene of Noon and Ji Lan in the bed curtain.

"Jiu'er?" Hearing someone calling himself, Tong Jiu hugged that person, muttering like a dazed man, and unbuttoned the man's body, "Aji, I miss you, Aji... . . ”

"Jiu'er, I'm Mu Yun." Mu Yun grabbed her hand, touched her face bitterly, and said, "It's not Fucha Jilan."

Feeling that person's cold hand caressing her hot cheek, Tong Jiu could hear her breathing becoming faster and faster with her fingertips, each sound getting heavier.

In a daze, he felt a loosening of his neck, and heard the phrase "It's not Fucha Jilan". Tong Jiulue clearly grasped the jade plaque that Mu Yun was about to take off.

"My jade! Aji—" pushed away the wooden cloud in his arms, jumped to the ground, unsteadily bumped into the row of chairs beside the kang, and walked out ignoring the pain, "Aji, Aji... . . . "

Seeing her disheveled and hitting the screen at the door, Mu Yun quickly hugged her from behind and coaxed her, "Jiu'er, take a look, is this at home?"

"Yes." Tong Jiu looked around and nodded, feeling his mouth was dry again, looking around for water.

"I'm Mu Yun, your Jiu Niang." Mu Yun shook Tong Jiu who was looking around, dragged her to the small window, pointed to the mandarin duck grilles on the window, and said, "Last time, you It says you want to marry me. It’s here! Do you still count?”

"Aji?" Tong Jiu looked at Mu Yun obsessively, lowered his head and hurriedly moved closer.

"I'm Muyun, Qijia Muyun!" Muyun pushed Tong Jiu's head away, grabbed her collar with both hands, shaking in despair, and choked up in pain, "Why, why do you only have her in your heart? Jiu'er , I’m Mu Yun. Why don’t you count all the things you said.”

<one one four>

"Er Yun[1]..." Tong Jiu hugged Mu Yun and murmured.

"Go to Fucha's mansion quickly, please come here, Mrs. Han, hurry up!" Hearing her call to herself, Mu Yun broke free from Tong Jiu's restraint in frustration, and ordered outside the door in a cold voice, reaching out and pushing open the small window at hand Take a breath.

He turned back and picked up the teapot on the table, poured some white powder into it, shook it, poured a cup for her, and said, "Aren't you thirsty? Drink it."

Tong Jiu obediently took the bowl and drank the water in one gulp, then stretched out the bowl again, and Mu Yun filled another one for her, watching her drink it down.

"Ma'am, the housekeeper of Qi's mansion is here, and he said that Master Jiu is drinking and making a lot of noise, so he told you to go over and have a look." Fu Chaqin came in and said anxiously.

"Huh?" Ji Lan put down the medicinal materials in his hand, took the gown from the back of the chair, put it on his body, and walked out, wondering to Fu Chaqin, "Lao Jiu doesn't drink much for a few days, didn't Jing Fu follow?"

"It is said that I went to the Cao Gang halfway, and I haven't come back yet." Fu Chaqin followed Ji Lan, buttoning her up, and said, "Don't worry, it will take some time to set up the car at the stable."

"Today, my heart... is always a little uneasy." Ji Lan walked to the gatehouse, led the horse on the door, rolled over, and said, "You guys wait for the carriage, I will go first on the horse."

"Ma'am?" It happened that Jing Fu came back from Qianjie riding a horse at this time. When she was in the distance, she thought she had misread it. When she got closer, she found that it was indeed Ji Lan riding a horse. go out?"

"Follow me." Ji Lan urged the horse, and went to the Qi Mansion in the north of the city with the housekeeper of Qi Mansion.

"Please come inside." When we arrived at Qi's mansion, we followed the woman who was welcoming the door into the back anteroom. Just after entering the door, we saw Mu Yun standing there with a blank expression, and seeing that the door behind her was closed tightly, Ji Lan held the door in his hand. He handed Jing Fu his horsewhip and asked, "Where is Old Nine?"

"Inside." Mu Yun pushed open the door behind him, letting Ji Lan in.

After the door was opened, with a gust of wind blowing from the window, Ji Lan sensitively sniffed the strange fragrance in the air, immediately frowned, looked back at Mu Yun in amazement, and was surprised at the scene at the door and the others. The servant said, "Everyone go out!"

As he spoke, he walked quickly to the kang, and saw Tong Jiu curled up on the kang in disheveled clothes, with a cloth tiger pillow in his arms.

Ji Lan lightly moved Tong Jiu's wrist, felt his pulse with his hand, and scanned the kang with his eyes, until he looked down and saw the jade lock card in Tong Jiu's hand was stained with blood, and slowly opened it. In her hand, the nails were sunk into the palm, and the fingertips were also full of blood.

"Slap!" Ji Lan turned around and slapped Mu Yun angrily, and asked, "Are you crazy?"

"Oh, I'm crazy. I've been crazy since the day I separated from her!" Mu Yun was staggered by the sudden slap, leaning on the horizontal chair behind him with one hand, beating his chest with the other and roaring, "Since Sheng Yu, He Shengliang!"

"This one is for Lao Jiu." Ji Lan glared at her, and said in a cold voice, "Based on what you have done today, you will be sorry for her kindness to you!" After speaking, she turned around and did not look at her again. , carefully buttoning Tong Jiu up.

"So what if I'm right, so what if I'm sorry?" Mu Yun sat down on the row of chairs, looked at Ji Lan's back, and said to himself, "There is no me in her heart."

"You know her heart best." Ji Lan re-hanged the jade lock plate for Tong Jiu, and said, "I just ask you, if you get her like this, can she still live? Your affection for her is just to want Force her to death and destroy her?"

"Jing Fu!" Without waiting for Mu Yun to speak, Ji Lan said towards the door, "Is the family car here? Come in and take Master Jiu out first."

Hearing the sound, Jing Fu pushed open the door and entered, and walked out with Tong Jiu on his back.Fuchaqin and Fuchami also arrived, and together they helped the drowsy Hongxiao out from the other side room.

"No matter how well the house is built, people's hearts are not as good as yesterday, and it's meaningless." Ji Lan watched Jing Fu carry Tong Jiu on his back and get into the car, then turned to look at Mu Yun who was standing in the doorway of the ear room, who was in a daze.

Looking up at the house again, he said calmly, "You and her, it's you. I and her, it's us. I have been patient again and again. One is that you are one of Lao Jiu's few close relatives, and the other is that I pity you for your sincerity towards Lao Jiu. I envy your childhood sweethearts' past, but I have never been jealous and never thought of harming anyone."

"Qijia Muyun." Ji Lan's eyes stopped on the pair of mandarin duck window grilles pasted on the window lattice of the ear room, looked at the pair of fateful mandarin ducks that were erratic with the wind, and said, "The person who hurt me, this is already me. bottom line."

"I don't know the reason why He Shengliang was born to Yu." Ji Lan turned his head and smiled at Mu Yun, looked at her and said very seriously, "But, if you dare to touch Lao Jiu again, Zhou Gongjin will What will happen to you, I will do what I say!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, stepped out and got into the car.

"E Yun, how do you read this poem in our own language?" Mu Yun looked at the pair of window grilles, and Tong Jiu's childish voice sounded in his ears. Back then, they still spoke Manchu and didn't know much about Chinese characters. many.

"Shangxie! I want to know you, and I will live forever..." After reading it, Mu Yun read it through, and shook his head, "I only know that the Chinese pronunciation is pronounced like this."

"Er Yun, what story is this telling?" Mu Yun clearly remembered that Tong Jiu was wearing a bright red tapestry cloak with hundreds of patterns on that day, and she was sitting on the window sill in front of the small window with her head tilted. , shaking the tiger-headed boots on his feet once and for all.

"Probably it means that two people are on good terms, just like the mandarin ducks on the window, they will not separate even in the wind and rain." Mu Yun explained.

"I know, just like us." Tong Jiu jumped down from the window sill, looked up at the grilles on the window, pulled Mu Yun's hand and shook it, and said with a smile, "Is it?"

"We will be separated when we grow up and get married." Mu Yun lay on the window sill with his chin resting on his arms, also looking at the grilles on the window, pouted sullenly, and said sadly.

"What's the matter, I'll just marry you." Tong Jiu nodded, grabbed Mu Yun's shoulder and patted her, reassuring her, "E Yun, we will never be separated in this life."

"Then..." Mu Yun thought for a while, and said, "You can't call me 'Er Yun' after you marry me."

"Well, okay then!" Tong Jiu frowned reluctantly, and said seriously, "From then on, I will call you by your name, Mu Yun." Since then, Tong Jiu has only called her "Mu Yun." "Are.

Thinking of this, Mu Yun tore off the grille on the window, gritted his teeth and tore it to pieces, and said with a sneer, "Shangxie, I am willing to die with you!"

Besides, Ji Lan and his party will wait until they go back.

Hong Xiao still felt a splitting headache when she woke up from drinking fruit wine mixed with drugs.Asking her what was going on, Dao only remembered that Tong Jiu ate some watermelon and was playing with snuff bottles all the time, but didn't drink.

Seeing Tong Jiu lying in the medicine pool soaking in the hot spring, the back of her neck was pricked into a hedgehog with silver needles, and she was still in a coma, Hong Xiao didn't care about the headache, and wiped the fine sweat from her head, Bian anxiously asked Ji Lan, "What's wrong with Brother Jiu?"

"I must have inhaled white poppy powder." Ji Lan wiped the wound on Tong Jiu's palm little by little, her eyes filled with distress.

"What? Ms. Biao, she..." Siphon exclaimed and stared at Tong Jiu, blaming herself, "It was my fault for being so careless."

Ji Lan smeared the golden sore medicine on Tong Jiu, saying, "Not only that, but also smoked Miao Yi's spring fragrance for her. Although the pulse condition is just a severe deficiency of kidney essence, it doesn't matter, but she has always been weak."

"Chunxiang, Brother Nine and Miss Biao..." Hong Xiao looked at Ji Lan hesitantly.

"Qijia Muyun still has some conscience. Finally, she fed her Mongolian sweat medicine and called me to go." Ji Lan sighed, "Otherwise, she wouldn't be asleep at this time. I'm just worried that she will be infected with big blood." cigarette."

"No, brother Jiu only smoked this time." Hong Xiao shook her head again and again, and said with certainty, "brother Jiu will never be contaminated with those things."

"Go down and rest." Ji Lan said wearily, "Let me be alone with her for a while."

In fact, on the way back, Ji Lan was always afraid, if the other party was not Mu Yun, or if Mu Yun had done this to the end, what would Tong Jiu do and what would he do.

Seeing Tong Jiu come back with such bruises again, Ji Lan felt her heart was clenched into a ball, and she was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.

Wiping the tears that inadvertently flowed down her face, Ji Lan let out a long breath, soaked the towel in her hand, and wiped the bruises on Tong Jiu's body.

"Ahem——." With a few muffled coughs, Tong Jiu shook his head and woke up, and called out "Aji..."

"Huh?" Ji Lan replied, seeing that she was awake, he started to take the needles on her body one by one.

"Hiss, it hurts." Tong Jiu tilted her head in pain and looked up at her back, but just by moving, her head hurts, her throat hurts, and she still feels a little nauseated.

"Why did I come back?" Thinking of the time when I was in Qi's house, I was so sick, I looked at Ji Lan's unhappy side face, and asked carefully, "Is it true that the watermelon is so cold, it's bad?" Spleen and stomach?"

"Don't move around." Ji Lan lovingly stroked the top of her hair, and said, "Let's soak for a while, and we're going to go out when we're sweating."

Tong Jiu flicked the jade lock sign by the pool with his left hand wrapped in a cloth, and said in a somewhat unconcerned way, "I used to eat something bad, and Sister Hong would give me a bowl of mung bean cake soup. Why don't you see anyone now?" Woolen cloth?"

Ji Lan knew Tong Jiu, even though she usually looked carefree, she didn't care much about scratches or touches.

But most of the time, Hongxiao and the big guy had to ask each other for warmth before she could feel at ease, otherwise she would give birth to the little girl in front of her, after all, she was also a noble person who grew up in a honeypot.

"Mung beans are cold in nature, and you can't eat mung bean cakes if you eat too much." Ji Lan tugged at her ears, and said, "And you, don't rush to see Hongxiao. She has too much wine and doesn't know anything. .”

Seeing Tong Jiu sniffing guiltyly, Ji Lan raised the corners of his mouth, leaned in front of her and pecked lightly between her brows, looked at her and said, "I'll be with you."

Tong Jiu smiled, stared, and said, "I don't think it's a problem now, let me go out?"

Note: [1] Eyun, eyun, means "sister" in Manchu.

<one one five>

In the evening, after dinner, the summer night room was sweltering and hot.Tong Jiu said that he wanted to get some fresh air in the yard, so Fu Chaqin immediately sent his servants to set up wicker chairs and tables in the yard, and asked his sister to make a pot of tea.

So, everyone moved to the courtyard to cool off.

Tong Jiu sat on the rocking chair, staggered and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Sitting beside her, Ji Lan listened to Hong Xiao and Fu Chaqin chatting about what kind of stitches the female celebrities are working on nowadays, while watching Xiaomi teasing Jing Fu's carrier pigeons, and Jing Fu immediately Looking at Xiaomi and Pigeon blankly on one side, the murderous look on his face is no longer the same as when they first met.

"Look at the sky, it will rain tomorrow." Seeing Tong Jiu staring at the sky, Ji Lan took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

"Jiuye, shopkeeper Shen is asking for an audience." The boy at the door came in to announce.

"Shen Jianping?" Tong Jiu looked back, and when the boy said yes, she sat up straight and said, "Please come in."

"Master Nine, madam, how are you all?" Shen Jianping hurried in to greet everyone.

"Did something happen in Baoding?" Tong Jiu didn't understand, he didn't inform beforehand, so he just came to Jiangnan.

"It's not Baoding, it's outside the customs." Shen Jianping wiped the sweat from his face, and said anxiously, "The Russian prime minister we talked about in Kyakhta was snatched away by Shanxi merchants. In this way, using our tea bricks There's no business for Russian furs."

"Sit down first." Ji Lan beckoned, and Fu Chaqin served Shen Jianping tea.

"Jiu Ye, not only that, the fur goods we brought back from Qia Ketu have been looted by mobs several times on the camel road." Shen Jianping said worriedly, "I told you beforehand that Qia Ketu is from Shanxi In this world, it’s not easy for the nearby merchants to go in and do business.”

Hearing what he said, Tong Jiu smiled, and said, "Jian Ping, this world...is the world of the Bannermen!" He looked at the sky again, and said, "If they want to collect fur, then let them collect it." Enough. You set off immediately to go north and pass through the customs, and inform all the accounts to stop collecting furs, and all the previous collections are also cleared."

"Well, then Master Jiu won't do fur business on our account?" Shen Jianping couldn't figure out what Tong Jiu was thinking.

He said before that he wanted to buy furs for tribute, and he was the one who asked himself to go to Kyakhta to find Russian merchants to collect furs, but he said that if he didn’t accept furs, he would have to clear the warehouse. The price."

"Listen to me." Tong Jiu got up and went to the study, and said as he walked, "This time you go, first bring a batch of brick tea, and set up the facade of Dazhengchang in Qiaktu. All these brick tea will be exchanged for food with Russian merchants. I will repair the book for the treasurer Jin Da of Baotou Mansion, and ask him to assign some manpower to you."

"Receive grain?" Shen Jianping was even more puzzled after hearing this, because the transportation costs from selling grain in Russia were high, the profit was thin, and what he earned was hard money, so now most of the Shanxi merchants outside the customs do not earn these hard money. The fur industry is the most prosperous and profitable nowadays.Even Dazhengchang was gradually shrinking the grain market and switching to other light transport businesses before, but how did it go back and forth and return to selling grain?

"Yes, collecting grain. The grain industry is our old line of business." Tong Jiu wrote a letter and said, "You go to be my vanguard officer and go to the front station. I will go to Qiaktu as soon as I complete the purchase for the prince. I’m going to find you. This is our first battle in Kyakhta, and the success or failure lies in whether we can hand over the Russian businessmen. Let the Russian businessmen know that Shanxi people are not the only ones who can go to Kyakhta to do business in the Qing Dynasty.”

After sending Shen Jianping away, Xing Kong ordered people to light high candles, and looked at the business map on the wall in thought.

When Ji Lan entered the door, Tong Jiuzheng frowned, "slapping" his calculations.Ji Lan didn't interrupt her, but just stood there quietly and looked at her.

"This stall outside the customs, I really can't do it." Tong Jiu looked at the number on the abacus, "Whether Dazhengchang can gain a foothold in Qiaktu this time depends on God."

"How much did you gamble?" Ji Lan looked at the abacus on her case, and said with a light smile, "That's all."

"But that's it?" Tong Jiu refused to accept it, and gently pushed the abacus forward, so that Ji Lan could see the amount on the abacus, and said, "If it's all paid off, I can only pack up and come back to be your accountant. Eighty percent of the bedding is gone."

"Really?" Ji Lan nodded seriously, and said, "So, from tomorrow onwards, I will have to burn incense every day, and pray for the Buddha's blessing."

See Tong Jiu half-believed
