Ji Bolian went to find Fan Pu to replace him, and slipped to Yixiang Pavilion to eat and drink by himself.

Seeing him, the old bustard turned pale with shock, "General Ji, you haven't come for a long time~ I miss you~"

"The money." Ji Bolian casually took out a handful of broken silver, and the old bustard hurried to pick it up.

"Where's Cuizhi?" Ji Bolian looked into the pipa room.

"Cuizhi~ Cuizhi was bought away a few days ago, and she's going to be a concubine~" The bustard clenched her fists and hammered Ji Bolian's shoulders. Do you see other girls?"

"Don't look. Even Cuizhi can be sold, and your Yixiang Pavilion is about to close." Ji Bolian fanned the wind with a folding fan, and the strands of hair from the forehead floated to the old bustard's face, "A good-looking little boy, is there any?"

"Ah? When did you get this good?" The old bustard's face fell off another layer of powder and spread it on the ground, so he could do things with a mouthful of chicken blood. "Yes, yes." She turned to the other girl and said, "Call Luo Ying, Run Chun, and that Fang Yi, and make them look good!"

Ji Bolian smiled and said, "You really have everything you need here. Why didn't I know there were these children before."

"You never asked, didn't you?" The bustard smiled and led him into an elegant room, served tea and water, rubbed his shoulders and legs. "When you come again in the future, I will know who to send you~"

Ji Bolian was terrified by her pinching, and then sent away a handful of broken silver.There was a knock on the door, and Ji Bolian said, "Come in."

Three young boys with slender skin, tender flesh and fair skin came in a row, looking at Ji Bolian timidly.

Ji Bolian's eyes drifted past them one by one, and finally locked on the one on the right.Without him, this person also has a cinnabar mole at the end of his eyebrows, but the color is very light, not gorgeous, revealing a sense of weakness.

"Come here." Ji Bolian told him to sit across from him, and the other two gave money to go down.

"What's your name?" Ji Bolian poured two glasses of wine.

"Return to General, the younger one is Fang Yi."

Ji Bolian stuffed a glass of wine into his hand, pinched his pointed chin to look left and right, and said with a smile: "Why are you shaking, I won't eat you. Can you drink?"

Fangyi nodded, then shook her head again. "Yes, but not too much."

"Then you should drink less." Ji Bolian took a sip of wine and said, "Fang Yi, why do you think there are so many liars in the world?"

Fang Yi sipped the rim of her cup and whispered, "For money."

"It's true, but it's not all true. Suppose you have a younger sister who marries a liar. And you fall in love with a liar. These two liars are friendly to you on the surface, but in fact they are colluding and acting together. You want to fight with them, but you can't find a reason, because you told them from the beginning that you are also a liar." Ji Bolian raised his hand to touch the faint mole on the end of his eyebrow, and said with a smile: "If this is you, you What will you do?"

Fang Yi thought for a long time, then said, "First, take my sister back first. Then, stay away from them."

Ji Bolian was stunned, and said: "Why are you so far away? Let them go, or you go by yourself?"

"Myself, go by myself."

"why?"

"Because they have two. Me, I can't beat it."

After hearing this, Ji Bolian laughed and said, "Even if you could beat them, you wouldn't really go and beat them."

Fang Yi thought for a while, then nodded.

"You always make compromises." Ji Bolian said, "But it's true to bring my sister back first."

Fangyi said slowly: "General, is there something that bothers you? It will be much better if you say it. Fangyi will not let the third person know."

Ji Bolian smiled, "You don't understand, but it's nothing to listen to. In the future, don't be dazzled by beauty, the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are." He poured another glass of wine, "No major worries, only one It's the size of an ant. I like someone, he's like a rock, he can't be warmed up." Ji Bolian turned his wine glass and said, "But I keep him in my heart, but I can't take him out."

Fang Yi said: "This kind of thing, after a long time, it will disappear by itself."

Ji Bolian said: "I'm afraid it will be a long time."

Fang Yi said: "It varies from person to person." After finishing speaking, she held up the wine glass in front of her and drank it.

Ji Bolian pinched the stem of his cup, "Slow down. Didn't you just say you can't drink too much. You are drunk now, what should I do later?"

Fang Yi blushed and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously." Ji Bolian poured him another half glass of wine, "Where are you from?"

Fang Yi replied: "Nanling Qing County."

Ji Bolian said: "It's from Nanling again."

Fang Yi said: "Nanling is very big." After thinking for a while, he said: "The capital is even bigger."

Ji Bolian didn't say anything else, and suddenly he didn't want to drink or listen to music, so he went to cover Fangyi who was drunk and fainted, pushed the door lightly, and found the old bustard, handed her a large sum of money, and said: "Fangyi is a good boy. You will have no children in this life, why not raise him as your own son."

The old bustard looked disheveled, "This..."

"All the money spent will be credited to my account." Ji Bolian shook off the folding fan and whistled at the old bustard, "Master Ji, I will also help the world's beauties."

The old bustard smiled happily, and danced happily with the little handkerchief, "Okay, okay~ I'll play again next time~ I'll find Fangyi to accompany you for a drink~"

It was dark outside.The street was brightly lit, but there were not many pedestrians, some of them hurried home, or hurried to Yixiang Pavilion.At the end of the long street is a small river, and a thin mist appears on the surface of the river, which seems to be seeping into the long street, but it disappears without a trace when it touches the lights.

"One street, one lamp, one floor, one fisherman's song, one folding fan, and one prodigal son. I am also a layman on Liuyi." Ji Bolian waved his folding fan and turned into the Shen family compound.

Shen Delin was watering the flowers in the yard.Seeing Ji Bolian coming, he said, "Shucai hasn't come back yet."

"Bo Lian is not looking for Brother Shen. He is here to see his sister." Ji Bo Lian brought a bucket of water for him and said with a smile.

Shen Delin said: "Old man, you are in Jiangbei for my fiftieth birthday. Li, your father gave it to you, and I haven't said anything about birthday wishes. How about making it up today?"

Ji Bolian hurriedly said: "Bolian's fault! You should be beaten!" He propped up his chin with a folding fan and thought for a while, then said, "Jujubes are peeled in August, and rice is harvested in October. For this spring wine, I wish you longevity. Bolian wishes you Blessings are like the East China Sea, and life is better than Nanshan Mountain!"

Shen Delin was quite happy to hear the first half of the sentence, but after listening to the second half, he pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you out of clichés, kid? Come and listen to something different."

Ji Bolian blinked his eyes and said, "May you live longer than the bastard?"

Shen Delin: "...well, you go in and talk to Xiaowan."

Ji Bolian chuckled, "Anyway, it's longevity. Bolian goes first."

In the room, Ji Wan had just lit the lamp, and was threading a needle against the small lampshade.Ji Bolian took the needle and thread and put it on for her, saying: "Xiao Wan'er, you and brother go home."

Ji Wan raised her head, "Brother, I just went back."

"I said, you come back to Ji's house with me, and don't live in this place surnamed Shen."

Ji Wan glared at him, "Brother, why are you crazy?"

Ji Bolian scratched his head, not being able to tell the truth about this younger sister who talked with needles and threads since she was a child, so she had to curve to save the country, "The one surnamed Shen is not so good. You go back with brother, give the one surnamed Shen a divorce letter, and let's choose another good-looking one." If you have a good personality, you will be satisfied as a door-to-door son-in-law."

Ji Wan stared at Ji Bolian as if he had seen a ghost, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and wondered: "I don't have a fever, brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"You can't save me a little worry." Ji Bolian sighed helplessly, "Every one of them is a snack!"

"What's the matter with me, I'm crawling all over the place? What's wrong with you, brother? I wondered if I didn't hinder you. Or did Shucai offend you?"

"Aren't you an amateur? Does your brother even tell you to go home now? Is your surname Shen or Ji?"

Ji Wan said innocently: "Get married and follow your husband."

Ji Bolian patted her on the shoulder with a folding fan, "Forget it, you are worthless and heartless. When the surname Shen comes back, you can just say that I stopped by to find you to play with, don't let it slip. Otherwise, I will tie you back right now. go home."

Ji Wan pulled him back, "Brother, what's the matter? I don't understand the affairs of your officialdom. Anyway, you are a poor man in your heart, so don't mess with them."

Ji Bolian was annoyed by Chenggong, "Is it so useless to co-operate with your brother? Mother just pissed me off after you were born."

"Loyalty is good for deeds." Ji Wan said solemnly.

"Don't give me that set." Ji Bolian got up, and helped Ji Wan thread a few more colored threads, and said, "It's nothing serious, don't think about it. In case something happens, I'll ask Xiaoling to pick you up."

Ji Wan nodded, stood up a little embarrassed and said: "Brother, there is one more thing..."

Ji Bolian's heart was full of alarm bells, "Has the surname Shen bullied you?"

"Where do you want to go?" Ji Wan lowered his head and touched his still flat belly, two blushes flew up on his face, "I might have one."

Ji Bolian was in a daze. "Yes, do you have my nephew and niece?"

"I haven't stabilized yet. I want to wait a while to talk to my parents. I can't help but tell you first."

Ji Bolian subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it, then retracted it halfway, and said, "I'll bring you something delicious when I go back. Don't worry, I won't let my parents know."

Ji Wan narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Thank you brother."

Ji Bolian touched her head. "Finally I know that I'm your brother. Okay, you should rest early, and if you can't move around, you will run home every three days. Dad has been sick for a while, and when he recovers, your stomach will almost settle down. I'll bring my parents to see you sometime."

"Well, brother, be careful on the road."

Ji Bolian flicked his folding fan, "Who can beat your brother and me." After finishing speaking, he opened the door and went out, passed by the yard to say hello to Shen Delin, strolled home, went to the dim sum shop and weighed He Wanping's favorite pineapple cake .

Seeing him coming, He Wanping was overjoyed, rushed forward and said, "Brother Ning, didn't you say you won't be back for a few days?"

"I changed it with Fan Pu, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of your parents at home alone." Ji Bolian waved the pineapple cake in front of her, "I just made it."

He Wanping's eyes narrowed into a smile, "Xiaoling and the others are helping at home, and the shop assistants are always available. Have you eaten yet? I'll ask the kitchen to make some dishes."

"Don't bother, just order a bowl of noodles. I'll go into the house to see Dad."

He Wanping responded, opened the bag of pineapple cakes, stuffed one into Ji Bolian's mouth first, then found a plate to fill most of it and asked the little maid to deliver it to Ji's mother, then took a bite by himself, and went to the kitchen to serve Ji Bolian noodles himself.

Ji Bolian watched her disappear around the corner, and then went into the back room to look at Ji Yanfeng.

It happened that Ji Yanfeng was awake, but he was coughing violently, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs.Ji Bolian poured him water.Ji Yanfeng drank it, opened his eyelids to look at him, and said, "You're running around. You're still running into the palace. You pretend to be Xiaoping and don't know? She doesn't want to talk about you."

"Father, if you can't speak, just say a few words, we all know you are not dumb." Ji Bolian smiled playfully.Anyway, Ji Yanfeng can't use his cane to beat him now.Every time Ji Yanfeng fell ill, it was when Ji Bolian practiced his mouth.

"Don't be angry when you are angry. Getting angry hurts your health." Ji Bolian said with a shy face, "My son went here a few times to do business. I just finished today, so I won't go there anymore."

Ji Yanfeng continued to moan and chirp, "Your nonsense, if you say it, you will be ashamed of Ji. In the past, I turned a blind eye to you and ignored you because no one in the court dared to touch you. Now there is no battle to fight. , you are the most hated."

Ji Bolian exclaimed: "Suspected? My son is smelling delicious now, who would suspect that someone has no eyes!"

"I'm pooh." Ji Yanfeng finished poohing, and by the way, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm into the spittoon beside the bed, "You can be honest with me. Be good, don't be arrogant, and you'd better be a quail. You are only 25 and six now, so please be sick." , Once the tiger talisman is handed in, come back and go to the Ji's business firm to dial the abacus beads. There is nothing greater than the way of transformation, and nothing is better than no disaster. You have no disaster or disaster, and we as a big family don't have to worry about it."

Ji Bolian said: "Father, if you had told your son these words a day earlier, he would never have listened to a single word."

Ji Yanfeng opened his eyes suddenly, "You mean you've listened now?"

"Hehe, you are worthy of being my father." Ji Bolian grinned, "My son suddenly felt that it didn't seem to be very interesting today. After the examination, he wanted to be a scholar, but he wanted to be the number one scholar. To be the deputy commander, to fight wars, to make meritorious service, to bring peace to the world, Be a great general. Go up? No more. There are thousands of people in the world, and you can count on one finger the one who can do it so smoothly. My son is not number one in the world, but he is still a human being. The best among them." Ji Bolian held a small bench and sat down in Ji Yanfeng's hand, "Are you satisfied? Not satisfied. Not satisfied? Satisfied. Compared with others, you will be angry if you can't compare. If you can't compare with others, you will be angry. Comparing with yourself, comparing back and forth, the more you compare, the more you feel that you have less and you don’t have more, and the cycle goes on and on, which is meaningless at all. My son used to like those who didn’t have. Our family is in business, and I don’t want to go your old way. I want to run to learn martial arts; I am not happy after learning martial arts, but I have to be able to recite poems and compose Fu. While dancing with guns and sticks, I will "grow away for the king, when the flowers are blooming", and want to "move out of the CI forest, stop and enjoy the martial arts feast", and naturally Thinking of being elegant, but actually being coquettish, it is better not to open your mouth. Suddenly thinking about it today, tsk tsk tsk, I feel ashamed and flustered."

Ji Yanfeng coughed a lot softer, "This is you, Mao Sai suddenly realized."

"That's right. I met a man today, and my son asked him where his home was, and he said it was in Nanling. I said, you are also from Nanling? Guess what he said? He said that Nanling is very big, but not as big as Jingcheng." .But judging by his appearance, he still wants to go back to Nanling."

Ji Yanfeng said: "The good ones are not as good as the ones we already have."

"Father, why are you robbing your son to talk about it?" Ji Bolian pointed to the ceiling, "If you want to say that he is good, he is really good. But he will not give his son the first piece of pineapple cake."

Ji Yanfeng snorted, "You know Xiaoping is fine."

"I always knew that Wan Ping was good." Ji Bolian rested his chin on his hand, and his voice softened a little, "Since the day my son became the number one scholar, you have always said that I am short-sighted, and I will have to crawl home sooner or later. In fact, I am very smart. Very. At that time, I went to flirt with that guy, purely because I wanted to use his strength to make a career. If I hadn’t bothered him in the imperial garden every day, he would have asked me to deliver the food so easily? If I didn’t deliver the food, I would It’s still a vice now. It’s just that I couldn’t control it later. I don’t just like that face, but I like the whole person.”

"Aren't you short-sighted?" Ji Yanfeng rolled his eyes, "I don't think you have any."

Ji Bolian sighed, "It's so annoying."

"Shut up if you bother me. If you don't mention it, I won't mention it. With your memory, you will forget it sooner or later." Ji Yanfeng coughed and coughed twice, and said: "Which little friend did you meet today? Did you get acquainted? Who Brother and who is brother?"

Ji Bolian gritted his teeth, "I recognize him as my son."

Ji Yanfeng: "...you have grown up today."

He Wanping knocked on the door outside, "Brother Ning, the noodles are ready, come out to eat or should I bring them in?"

"Just put it on the table by the door." Ji Bolian said, walking towards the door, he didn't forget to turn his head and say to Ji Yanfeng: "Father, if you feel uncomfortable, call me, don't bother my mother and my wife every day."

"Call you? When I wake you up, I'm so cold." Ji Yanfeng said disdainfully.

Ji Bolian sat down on the small bench by the door, picked up his noodles and took two big mouthfuls.He Wanping served him a soft-boiled egg, and there was a pile of mustard beside him, and he looked at Ji Bolian eagerly.

"No one can compare to my family's Wanping in terms of living room and kitchen." Ji Bolian winked at her.

He Wanping laughed at the side, picked up the walnuts with small pliers, peeled them bit by bit and put them on a small plate. "What were you thinking just now, you're fascinated."

Ji Bolian told the truth, "Pretend to be a serious illness that won't kill you, and quickly hand over this tiger talisman in your hand."

He Wanping stared at him blankly, "Brother Ning, you want to..."

"Well. In a few months, you won't be the general's wife. I asked someone to buy a piece of land in the southern suburbs, and we may have to farm there in the future."

He Wanping thought about it, and without asking why, he just said with crooked eyebrows: "I weave at home, and I also serve my parents. No one else will take it with me, just take Xiaoling away. After two years, when she is old, I will give her a promise. A nice family."

"Listen to you."

He Wanping said again: "My brother is here this afternoon. He came to look for you. Seeing that you are not here, let me tell you that you can find him some time these two days."

"Okay, I see. I'll go when I'm done."

The author has something to say: It’s nothing, I suddenly thought of the picture of the whole brothel wearing masks~ It’s so beautiful~

Don't forget to wear a mask just because the weather is getting hotter!Safety first!
