Li Qinghuan

Chapter 5

Ji Qing was still a little puzzled, and said, "Master Thirteen, there is one thing I don't understand."

Ning Shisan glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

Ji Qing: "Since this black jade is the only one in the world, why didn't the Thirteenth Lord choose another piece of jade?"

He didn't believe that this old thing was willing to take out such good materials.

Ning Shisan said truthfully: "The money given is a lot."

Ji Qing: "..."

Ning Shisan: "And people are interested in me, what can I do? After all, I am the emperor, I can't afford to mess with it..."

Ji Qing: "...Master Thirteen is right."

Ning Shisan handed the jade pendant back to Ji Qing, and said casually, "You came here to find me just for this?"

Ji Qing took it with both hands and nodded: "Yes."?

Ning Shisan? Curiosity was immediately aroused, and he asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Ji Qing: "To find an old friend."?

Ning Shisan: "Old man? Found it?"

Ji Qing: "Old friend, I found it."

Ning Shisan is not a troublesome person either. Although he was curious, seeing that the other party didn't intend to continue, he didn't ask any more, and said with a slight smile: "I have a chance to bring your old friend to me. It's getting late, you Go back sooner."

Ji Qing: "Yes, Lord Thirteen."

Ning Shisan said again: "By the way, next time you come in, don't open the window. If you accidentally trigger the mechanism, you will feel better."

Ji Qing smiled: "Isn't it because of you? I won't search if you're not here."

Ning Shisan: "Don't be poor with me, go back quickly."

……

Ji Qing bid farewell to Ning Shisan, and returned to the bamboo forest dressed in night.He carefully picked up Song Li's jade pendant and clothes, and saw the white crane embroidered on his skirt in a daze, and his heart was filled with joy beyond words.

……

Liu Zijian was released three days later. When he walked out of the prison, Li Zhuxuan and Song Li stood in the sun to greet the disgraced him.He glanced at the well-dressed two people, and complained: "You two are safe and sound, but I was imprisoned for three days for no reason..."

Li Zhuxuan sneered ruthlessly: "Who told Ah Li to get lost to save you? Why didn't you have so much dissatisfaction when you were lying on the horseback and crying for your father and mother?"

Liu Zijian didn't expect to refute his words for a while, so he simply struck directly, and he was beaten violently when he rushed forward.

Song Li watched the two of them fight in front of the jailer, feeling very helpless, so he teased: "Zijian, you haven't been locked up enough, why don't I tell Brother Huang to let him lock you up again?" You two days?"

As soon as Liu Zijian heard this, he immediately let go of the hand holding Li Zhuxuan's collar, and turned around to touch Song Li's shoulders. Song Li immediately avoided it, with a look of disgust on his face: "Don't touch me if you haven't showered for three days. .”

Liu Zijian pursed his lips in embarrassment, and stopped his hands: "Then let's go quickly, this big sun. I want to go back and wash up."

"It's time to wash it, it's all marinated." Li Zhuxuan ignored his embarrassment, made another stab, and ran away without giving Liu Zijian a chance to refute.

The three of them chased back to Prince Yu's mansion. In order to reward Song Li for helping him move the soldiers, Liu Zijian, who was imprisoned for three days, ordered someone to cook a large table of dishes.

He also took out the tribute wine that his brother gave him.

Song Li has good wine, there is a lot of good wine in the wine cellar of the palace, it is a pity that he is not willing to waste it, but now he is drinking this high-quality golden stem dew, but he feels that it is not as good as it was in Ji Qing a few days ago. The pot of chilling that I drank there.

Liu Zijian noticed that Song Li was in a daze, so he put down his bowl and waved his hand in front of his eyes, and asked, "Ah Li, how can you be so dazed while eating?"

Li Zhuxuan continued: "Yeah, you've been staring at the jug for a long time, what are you thinking?"

Song Li came back to his senses, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Zijian, have you found the book I asked you to look for?"

Liu Zijian shook his head: "I only found the incomplete copy, the words are all blurred, and there are many pages missing, so I can't read it at all."

Song Li: "I know who has it, but I don't know if the other party is willing to sell it."

Liu Zijian: "Really? Who has it? As long as the money is enough, no one would be willing to sell it."

Song Li: "This person is really not short of money."

Liu Zijian: "Who is it?"

Song Li: "Ji Qing."

Liu Zijian: "Uh... this... If it is really him, it will be difficult. After all, he is not short of money, so he may just keep it for fun."

Song Li sighed and said, "It's really difficult."

Liu Zijian: "Hey, how do you know he has it?"

Song Li: "I saw it with my own eyes, and even held it in my hand."

Only then did Liu Zijian nod his head. After all, he knew Song Li was rescued by Ji Qing when he was still in the prison.

Liu Zijian: "Then let my father ask?"

Li Zhuxuan: "Well, let's ask first, if it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."

……

After Baozi was brought back to Ji's Mansion, it took a few days to stretch out his hands for clothes and open his mouth for food.Although the days were happy, the little fat boy was always thinking that he was arrested by Ji Qing to help, so he started chasing after Yuan Xi and asking after he didn't stay for a few days.

Baozi: "Brother Yuan, what does Brother Pretty want from me?"

Yuan Xi sharpened his dagger, and replied: "You can have fun for a few more days, and I will take you there after you rest for a few more days."

When Baozi heard this, his fat face wrinkled into a ball.Aggrieved and said: "Brother Yuan, you take me there, you don't tell me that I don't feel at ease, I always feel that you are raising me to use me as stuffing for steamed stuffed buns."

Yuan Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that the kid was thinking about something all day long.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Baozi became even more nervous, and added: "Brother Yuan, I've had enough rest, if you want to help me, just take me there."

Yuan Xi thought for a while, then nodded, put away the knife, and said, "Okay, follow me."

Baozi followed closely behind Yuan Xi, and arrived in a separate small courtyard after a while.A white hibiscus tree was planted by the wall of the small courtyard, and it was in full bloom at this time.

Yuan Xi took Baozi through the small courtyard and came to the door of a room. Yuan Xi reached out and pushed the door open, and entered the room with Baozi.

The room was not big, and as soon as Baozi entered, he saw a little girl huddled in a corner.Yuan Xi squatted down and said softly to the little girl in the corner: "Little girl, brother Yuan Xi brought you a friend, you should come out and say hello to him."

The little girl poked her head out timidly, and saw that it was Yuan Xicai who slowly got up from the ground and walked towards them cautiously.

Baozi didn't know why, but Yuan Xi was secretly surprised.She has been hiding in the small courtyard since Yuan Li brought her to Ji Mansion.As soon as a stranger came in, he screamed and hid in the room, and saw no one except him and the old mother who took care of her.Even Ji Qing was no exception.But she has nothing against buns.Instead, he took the initiative to walk towards the two of them.

Yuan Xi came back to his senses, gently pulled the little girl, and said softly: "Little girl, this is a playmate brought to you by my brother, his name is Baozi."

The little girl looked at Baozi and repeated in a low voice: "Baozi."

Yuan Xi was even more surprised, he had never heard her speak.So strike while the iron is hot: "Yes, his name is Baozi, and Baozi is his name."

The little girl tilted her head, looking a little confused: "Name?"

Yuan Xi nodded and continued: "Yes, everyone must have a name, just like my brother is called Yuan Xi, and he is called Baozi, so you should be called Ji Luoyan, okay?"

The little girl nodded, raised a hand, and pinched Baozi's face directly.Then I felt that I was not addicted and changed my hands directly.

Baozi squatted on the ground blankly and let the little girl pinch his face.The little girl didn't let go of the bun until her hands felt sore, turned around and retreated to the corner.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi stood up and walked out of the room with the buns.

Baozi asked while rubbing his blushing face, "Brother Yuan, does the beautiful brother want me to help you to play with this little sister?"

Yuan Xi nodded: "That's right. She is Mr. Ji's younger sister, and her name is Luoyan. You can just call her Luoyan in the future."

Baozi: "Will she like to play with me?"

Yuan Xi thought about the scene just now, and replied affirmatively: "Yes."

As soon as the two returned to the front yard, they heard a commotion -- it was Ji Qing who had returned, and Yuan Xi was quite surprised.Every summer Ji Qing went to the Bamboo Garden to escape the summer heat as usual, at least ten days and a half months, this time it was only three days, Yuan Xi was very curious about what made this guy come back early.

He took the buns to the front yard, but he didn't see Ji Qing himself, only the housekeeper, Old Sun, was instructing the servants to move things. Yuan Xi took a closer look and saw that they were all kinds of books that Ji Qing kept in the bamboo garden, so he became even more curious .Is Ji Qing going to demolish the bamboo garden?

Yuan Xi walked into the front hall, Ji Qing was already sitting in the main seat drinking tea.

Yuan Xi: "Brother, why did you come back early?"

Ji Qing said casually: "There is no interest in the forest, so I came back early."

boring?Ji Qing has never been a person who can't stand being bored, there must be some special reason.Seeing that he was being perfunctory, Yuan Xi stopped asking and changed the question.

"Then what did senior brother bring the book back for?"

Ji Qing: "It's ready to sell."

sold?Yuan Xi was shocked. Why did you sell the orphan copy that was recovered at a sky-high price?Ji Qing is going bankrupt?Yuan Xi was worried that something would happen to Ji Qing and he planned to take it on himself, so he said, "Brother, tell me what difficulties you have, and let's work together to find a way so that you don't sell these books that you regard as precious."

Ji Qing: "..." Where did this child go?

Ji Qing looked at Yuan Xi's concerned and worried expression, and said dryly: "You think too much, it's just... uh, you just don't want it anymore."

Yuan Xi still looked at him worriedly.

Ji Qing looked at the sad-faced junior, sighed, confessed, and explained: "It's really not what you think, it's... sold to a friend."

Yuan Xi: "Really?"

Ji Qing: "Really."

Seeing that he couldn't find out why, Yuan Xi let go of his doubts for the time being, and sat down with the buns.

Ji Qing smiled at Baozi in a friendly manner, then turned to Yuan Xi and asked, "Did you take this little fat boy to see her today?"

Yuan Xi nodded: "The little girl is not afraid of him, and she has spoken."

Ji Qing raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Speak?"

Yuan Xi: "Yes, we have spoken."

Ji Qing said with a smile: "It seems that it was right to capture this little fat boy this time."

Ji Qing paused, and then ordered: "He has been of great help, please treat him well."

Baozi, who listened for a while, thought to himself: "Is the little fat boy that Mr. Ji is talking about? It turns out that Mr. Ji doesn't know my name yet."

He froze for a moment, and said, "Beautiful brother, my name is Baozi."

It was only then that Ji Qing remembered that he didn't know the name of this little fat boy, and he always called him little fat boy...

Ji Qing stroked his knuckles and said sincerely, "Baozi? I'm sorry, my brother didn't remember your name before, but now I do. My brother apologizes to you."

Baozi didn't expect Ji Qing to apologize to him so sincerely, he was taken aback for a while, and quickly said: "It's okay pretty brother, you don't need to apologize to me."

Ji Qing said again: "From now on, you can play with your brother's sister, okay? Just stay in Ji's mansion, and I will tell your prince."

As soon as Baozi heard this, he agreed without hesitation, eating and drinking here every day without having to work. For this orphan who was used to suffering, it was nothing short of pie in the sky.
