Although the guests coming and going in the Jiaofang Division are not as rough as the usual places, occasionally there will be bold and unrestrained military officers who can't help but move their hands in the corridor. Although everyone will look twice, it is not unusual.

Therefore, the passing civil servant took the woman in his arms and only glanced in the direction of Li Zhan and Ji Qingzhou, without staying.

Until the laughter of the man and woman in the corridor gradually faded away, Ji Qingzhou still didn't dare to turn his head to look, and only asked in a low voice in Li Zhan's ear, "I guess you can't see it?"

The boy was too close to Li Zhan, his lips were almost touching Li Zhan's ears when he spoke.

The seemingly absent warm touch on the young man's lips came from the skin next to Li Zhan's ear unexpectedly. Li Zhan couldn't help but hold his breath, and his arms around the young man involuntarily tightened.

Ji Qingzhou only thought that he was reminding himself not to move around, so he had to hug his neck honestly and dare not leave.

"Are you ready?" Ji Qingzhou asked in a low voice.

"En." For some reason, Li Zhan's voice was a little unnatural, and he let go of the boy in his arms, and helped him straighten his messy skirt.Ji Qingzhou didn't doubt that he was there, and looked around with a pair of bright eyes, with an expression like a thief who had done something wrong, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

Seeing this, Li Zhan couldn't help feeling amused, and said, "It's no big deal to be bumped into, don't be afraid."

"I'm afraid that it will reach the ears of those officials, and then they will bother you again." Ji Qingzhou looked at Li Zhan and said, "Aren't you the one who annoys them the most every day?"

Hearing this, Li Zhan's eyes were stained with a smile, and he led the boy forward through the corridor.However, when the two got to the corner of the corridor, two people suddenly turned out from the opposite side, one of them was a tall warrior, and the other was a pretty girl.The two were whispering, and they didn't look up, so they didn't see Ji Qingzhou and Li Zhan, but Ji Qingzhou and Li Zhan saw them.

Ji Qingzhou went to court every day, and immediately recognized the warrior as Gu Yiheng, the commander of the imperial army.

Although Gu Yiheng was not as annoying as those civil servants, it was still a bit embarrassing to meet each other like this.

This time Ji Qingzhou gained experience, before Li Zhan could react, he took the initiative to drag Li Zhan to lean against the wall next to him, thinking of repeating the old trick to hide again.Unexpectedly, the place he chose was the doorway of a door, he pulled Li Zhan back and leaned back, the door suddenly opened, Ji Qingzhou fell backwards into the house, fortunately, Li Zhan quickly reached out to catch it, This is the only way to stand still.

"It's dangerous!" Ji Qingzhou tugged on Li Zhan's clothes, hid his head behind Li Zhan's shoulders, and only showed a pair of eyes to look outside. Outside the door, Gu Yiheng took the woman in his arms and looked inside the door with a suspicious expression on his face. Then he just left.

Ji Qingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and complained in a low voice: "Is there too many acquaintances here?"

"Well." Li Zhan let Ji Qingzhou drag him, one hand was still on his back, and he said in a low voice: "I have met the third one in a while..."

"Three... isn't it two?" Ji Qingzhou looked up at Li Zhan with some doubts, then followed Li Zhan's gaze and turned his head to look, only to see a girl standing in the room with red eyes , holding a dagger in his hand, looking at the two in shock.

Ji Qingzhou: ...

girl: ...

"Excuse me...we went the wrong way." Ji Qingzhou smiled awkwardly, and then realized that she was still holding on to Li Zhan's skirt, and quickly let go.Li Zhan withdrew his hand behind Ji Qingzhou's waist calmly, and his eyes fell on the girl's face.

The girl kept looking at Ji Qingzhou, her expression changed from initial shock to disbelief, and finally she took two steps forward with some surprise, tears welled up in her eyes...

At this moment, Ji Qingzhou also saw the girl's appearance clearly, only to see that the girl looked at the age of fifteen or sixteen, with fair skin and exquisite facial features, her temperament did not show the slightest dust, and she was quite a bit of a lady dignified……

What surprised Ji Qingzhou the most was that the girl's appearance was three to four points similar to his, but the outline of the girl's facial features was softer, with a female-specific beauty.But Ji Qingzhou's facial features are more clear, and more of them are handsome young people.

Ji Qingzhou's heart beat suddenly, and he realized something.

No wonder Li Zhan said he was an acquaintance, but this girl is... Ji Qingzhou's sister?

"Second brother..." The girl stepped forward quickly, hugged Ji Qingzhou and began to cry.

Ji Qingzhou glanced at Li Zhan subconsciously, Li Zhan nodded to him, closed the door behind him, but stood aside and did not go out.

"I originally thought that I should just die. It's better than falling into the wind and dust and humiliating the lintel of our Ji family... But if I kill myself, I will implicate you and elder brother. I really don't know what to do..." The girl Still holding the dagger in one hand, he choked up and said, "I'm not dreaming, second brother...you really came to see me?"

Ji Qingzhou's thoughts changed sharply, and now he finally came back to his senses.

This girl is indeed the third miss of the Ji family, Ji Qinglan, and in a sense, she is also his younger sister.

"Don't cry, give me the knife." Ji Qingzhou took the knife in her hand, and said, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Ji Qinglan was obviously not an uninhibited girl, she calmed down soon after crying, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and saluted Li Zhan.Li Zhan nodded to him as a gift, but didn't say anything more, and gave Ji Qingzhou the right to speak at the moment.

"Second brother, how are you doing in the palace? Have you ever been wronged?" Ji Qinglan choked up for a moment, but she still cared about worrying about Ji Qingzhou.

Ji Qingzhou wiped Ji Qinglan's tears with her sleeve, and said softly: "Don't worry about me, but I haven't been able to come to see you, let you..."

"Second brother." Ji Qinglan grasped Ji Qingzhou's hand, and comforted him: "It's hard for us brothers and sisters to meet each other, so we don't talk about these things anymore. Second brother, do you have news about your elder brother, he has never been out of the capital since he was a child , this trip to the northwest is far away, and I don't know if it's safe..."

Ji Qingzhou nodded. The eldest son of the Ji family did ask Li Zhan to send a letter to him, saying that he had arrived in the northwest safely.He immediately told Ji Qinglan, just to let her not worry about others.

I don't know if it's because of the blood connection, although Ji Qingzhou and Ji Qinglan have never met, but just this side of him can't help but feel a little love in his heart.

And even though Ji Qinglan is young and has gone through so many ups and downs, the first thing she thinks of after seeing Ji Qingzhou is not to beg the other party to save her, but to worry about the safety of her two elder brothers... This makes Ji Qingzhou feel moved and at the same time Distressed.

"Miss Lan...it's almost time." There was a knock on the door, and a woman's voice sounded, "Would you like to help the girl change her clothes?"

"No need, I'll come." Ji Qinglan said towards the door.

After the people outside left, Ji Qinglan let go of Ji Qingzhou, got up, walked to Li Zhan, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to Li Zhan.Li Zhan reached out to help her, but Ji Qinglan said: "Qinglan can't repay the kindness of the lord to the Ji family. He will burn incense and pray for the lord for the rest of his life. If the second brother can win the lord's favor, my father is alive in heaven." I can feel at ease, I just ask the prince to treat him well."

Ji Qinglan saw that the two were acting intimately just now, and she didn't know if the two were in the relationship she thought.

But since the two appeared here together, she knew that Li Zhan was a friend rather than an enemy.

After Ji Qinglan finished speaking, she wanted to kowtow to Li Zhan, but Li Zhan helped her up.

She didn't refuse, she got up and went to Ji Qingzhou's side and hugged him again, and whispered in Ji Qingzhou's ear: "Don't let people see you here, and don't worry about me, you are the prince's man now , follow him well, and take care of yourself."

After saying that, Ji Qinglan got up and left the room, and closed the door behind her.

Ji Qingzhou stood there in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time...

According to the law, their brothers and sisters are all guilty and cannot meet in private. If people see it, it will cause trouble for Ji Qingzhou.Ji Qinglan didn't know the depth of his relationship with Li Zhan, and she didn't want him to take risks for herself, so she said that.

"She should be hoping that I can save her?" Ji Qingzhou said with a wry smile: "What kind of brother am I to ask her to worry about me?"

Ji Qingzhou thought of helping Ji Qinglan before, but now she has a little bit of care for her sister.To this day, he and Ji Qingzhou in the original book have long been indistinguishable from each other. Since the blood of the Ji family is flowing on his body, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent anyway.

"My lord..." Ji Qingzhou turned to look at Li Zhan, only to realize that something was wrong with Li Zhan's expression.

Ji Qingzhou was startled, stepped forward to support the other party and asked, "My lord, are you all right?"

Li Zhan frowned and walked to the side table and sat down, his face was slightly red, and his breathing was a little unsteady.Ji Qingzhou reached out to touch his forehead, but Li Zhan grabbed that hand and gently shook it away.

"My lord..." Ji Qingzhou asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing serious. Something was added to the incense and lamp oil of Jiaofangsi. It's my negligence." Li Zhan said hoarsely.

Ji Qingzhou: ...

No way?Hired again?

But why doesn't he feel anything?

Ji Qingzhou came to his senses later, the things used in the Jiaofang Division must be just for fun, the dosage is not large, and it seems that the medicine has no effect on Ji Qinglan at all, presumably it is only used by men who are full of blood and desire It works, so it has almost no effect on Ji Qingzhou.

He remembered that last time in Fengxian Pavilion, Li Zhan was more affected by the medicine, and his reaction was much smaller, while the young lady of the Qiu family was not affected at all.

It can only show that...the regent's needs are urgent in some respects!

Ji Qingzhou silently came to such a conclusion...

Fortunately, looking at Li Zhan like this, it seems that he is only slightly uncomfortable, and he will not lose his mind like last time, so Ji Qingzhou is a little relieved.

"Since there are ingredients in the incense and lamp oil, won't it be better if we go out?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

Li Zhan looked up at Ji Qingzhou, his eyes were very complicated, Ji Qingzhou didn't realize it until a while later...

Li Zhan had a reaction, and the weather was hot and his clothes were thin. If he went out like this... Li Zhan would be very embarrassed and might attract onlookers.

"Then how about..." Ji Qingzhou glanced at Li Zhan, and saw that the other party had been trying to adjust his breathing in an attempt to calm himself down, but the incense in the room had been releasing that kind of medicine continuously, and it might be difficult to relieve it if it went on like this , the only way is to...

Let the Prince Regent do it himself, vent it...

It's just that Ji Qingzhou dare not say this.

But Ji Qinglan has already left, if she delays any longer, if someone buys her away, it will be a disaster!

"My lord..." Ji Qingzhou said, with a very tangled expression.

Li Zhan naturally knew what he was thinking, frowned and fell silent for a moment, then said, "Turn around and plug your ears."

Ji Qingzhou: ...

In fact, he wanted to wait outside, otherwise it would be too embarrassing, but the chance of meeting acquaintances here is too high, if someone sees him, it will spread the word that he is an eunuch who actually came to visit the kiln, and turn around the whole Yinghui Pavilion Everyone has to be pointed at.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhou could only go to the door and stand there, with his back to Li Zhan, covering his ears with his hands.

The time for half a stick of incense has passed...

The time for a stick of incense has passed...

The time for half a cup of tea has passed...

It's time for a cup of tea...

Ji Qingzhou was very anxious, but he didn't see Li Zhan finish his work for a long time.

Ji Qingzhou vaguely remembered where he heard that if a person is affected by drugs, sometimes they need external stimulation to relieve it, and it may not be possible to rely on themselves.If that's the case, it's not an option right now...

Seeing the time passing by every minute and every second, if there is any further delay, the dust will probably settle on Ji Qinglan's side.

Ji Qingzhou let out a long breath, turned his heart, and said: "My lord...how about I come?"

Li Zhan: ...

After a brief silence, Ji Qingzhou let go of his ears covering his hands, and turned to look at Li Zhan.Li Zhan sat on the chair with his back facing him, and didn't say no, which seemed to mean acquiescing...

Ji Qingzhou: ...

Although this is really strange and embarrassing, but for Ji Qinglan, he also risked it all.

……

After half a stick of incense, Ji Qingzhou found a cloth towel, first handed it to Li Zhan, and then wiped his hands...

Thanks to Li Zhan's ingot of silver, that mother really left the best seat for them.

After Ji Qingzhou and Li Zhan went in and sat down, Ji Qinglan on the stage in the distance had already finished playing a piece of music.

People who come here often know the rules of the Jiaofang Division. After the music is played, before the person who presides over the scene says anything, there is a voice from the private seat, obviously unable to hold back and intends to rob people.

The newly grown girl of Jiaofang Division started to receive customers on the first day, and she was always in demand.

Ji Qingzhou only thinks these customs are very boring, but in order to save Ji Qinglan, he has to join in the fun with these people...

"Fu Liu"

Only a woman's voice sounded, reporting the name of a private room.

Ji Qingzhou didn't quite understand the rules here, so she subconsciously turned her head to look at Li Zhan, only to see Li Zhan was looking at him with undisguised scorching eyes.The moment the two looked at each other, Li Zhan looked away calmly, and said calmly, "Go out and tell the person at the door, no matter who reported the amount, we will add 100 taels."

Ji Qingzhou didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly stood up and told the maid who was watching outside to tell Li Zhan what he had said.

After he came back and sat down, he heard the woman outside announce the name of their private room, "Lanyue".

Then someone reported the names of several elegant rooms, and the voices of the names kept coming and going, and gradually only "Fu Liu" and "Lan Yue" remained.

Ji Qingzhou understood a little bit. Those officials thought it was indecent to directly report the amount of silver, so those who wanted to participate reported the name of Ya Jian, and the maids who came and went would ask them the amount of additional silver, until finally someone added Sorry to quit...

"Fu Liu"

"Catch the Moon"

The voices outside kept ringing, Ji Qingzhou couldn't sit still, and asked the person at the door: "How much?"

"Nine thousand and one hundred taels." The maid replied.

Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but gasped. As the chief eunuch of the sixth grade, his monthly salary was only 20 taels of silver, and the asking price for this moment was 100 taels.

"Master Fuliu added another 500 taels." A maid came over and said.

"My lord, do you want to add more?" The maid at the door asked Ji Qingzhou, "It's already 600 taels."

Ji Qingzhou gritted her teeth and said, "Add."

"Lanyue plus 100 taels." The maid at the door replied.

The other maid got the price and ran outside the door of "Fu Liu" to make an offer...

Ji Qingzhou wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, walked to Li Zhan and sat down, and said, "My lord, these money..."

"Repay it slowly, I'm not in a hurry." Li Zhan said lightly.

Ji Qingzhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and felt that he might have to work hard for the regent for the rest of his life, 20 taels a month, 240 taels a year, 400 taels in ten years... If he could live to be seven or eighty years old, And if the regent doesn't want interest, he can pay it off almost before he dies.

"Fufeng"

"Catch the Moon"

The voice outside has not stopped, and the person in the other private room doesn't know who it is, as if he and Ji Qingzhou are in conflict.Ji Qingzhou counted the times, but he didn't dare to count how much money, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his sweat.

Li Zhan turned to look at Ji Qingzhou. The young man was so nervous that he had no time to look at him.Li Zhan sized up the young man unscrupulously. His eyes ranged from the young man's smooth forehead to the good-looking eyebrows, to the high bridge of the nose, and finally fell on the young man's slightly pursed thin lips...

He uncontrollably recalled the previous scene in his mind, when the boy leaned on his neck and spoke, his lips brushed against his skin inadvertently, and the touch was still fresh in his memory.And when the young man helped him relieve it anxiously, that slender white hand was slightly cool...

"Huh..." Li Zhan took a deep breath and tried to make himself think about other things, but his eyes kept glancing at Ji Qingzhou uncontrollably.He thought to himself, the potency of the incense used by the Secretary of the Jiaofang was probably too long-lasting...

"Catch the Moon"

Finally, Ji Qingzhou waited for a while, but the name "Fufeng" did not sound again.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Li Zhan and said, "Stop!"

"En." Li Zhan looked at the young man, and saw that the young man's face finally showed a gleam of joy, and his eyes were unconsciously stained with a smile.

After a while, the maid outside came in and said to Ji Qingzhou, "Master, the total is 600 taels."

Ji Qingzhou:!!!

Ji Qingzhou almost didn't catch her breath!

Forty-seven thousand 600 taels!!!

It will take him more than 200 years to pay off...

"Bring Miss Lan here, someone will pay the money later." Li Zhan said lightly.

The maid stepped back when she heard the words. Anyway, all the people who come here are people with official positions, and no one dares to renege on this kind of thing. Otherwise, if the Secretary of the Jiaofang goes to file a complaint, this person will be in trouble in the officialdom in the capital. There is no need to mess around.

"4 taels... 600 taels..." Ji Qingzhou felt that he was out of breath, and said to Li Zhan with a pale face: "So much money...I..."

"This is not something you should worry about now." Li Zhan said.

Ji Qingzhou was startled, and said, "What should I worry about first?"

Li Zhan stared at him, with a look in his eyes that Ji Qingzhou didn't quite understand. After a while, he said lightly: "She is a member of the Jiaofang Division, and you can't redeem her. Today is the day when she comes of age, you need I have to stay overnight, so that everyone knows that she has a master, so they won't continue to covet her."

Ji Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, secretly thinking that the prince was still thoughtful, he was so frightened by the 4 taels that he couldn't think at all.It was only after being reminded by Li Zhan that he realized that Ji Qinglan's matter was only the first hurdle. Since there was no way to redeem him, he had to think about it in the future.

"My lord, someone has paid for the money. I remember the name of Chizhou in Dali Temple. Is there a mistake?" A maid came in and asked Ji Qingzhou.

Only then did Ji Qingzhou remember that he was holding Chizhou's waist card, and nodded quickly: "That's right."

"Young Master spends a lot of money, according to the rules of the Jiaofang Division, Miss Lan can go to the mansion to serve, and she will return to the Jiaofang Division after a month." The maid said.

Ji Qingzhou was stunned when he heard the words, and he didn't realize that there were such rules for a while, so he turned to look at Li Zhan.

Li Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then send Miss Lan to Chi Shaoqing's residence."

Ji Qingzhou: ...

Can this be done? ? ?

After the maid left, Ji Qingzhou asked in a low voice: "What should I do? It won't cause trouble for Chi Shaoqing, right?"

"It doesn't matter." Li Zhan said: "He is my king's man, so what if I bother him?"

Ji Qingzhou: ...

It seemed to be the same reason, but he felt a little sorry after all.

Fortunately, the official circles of the Yu Dynasty were not ashamed of this kind of love affair. Whether it was a civil official or a military general, it was not surprising that they cared about the Secretary of Jiaofang.I just don't know if there is a wife in Chizhou's mansion, and if this will affect his feelings...

Too many things happened that night, and Ji Qingzhou was simply overwhelmed.

For a while, I was worried about the 4 taels of silver, for a while, I was worried about Chizhou's affairs, and for a while, I was thinking about how to help Ji Qinglan out of the predicament in the future...

"Then don't you need to spend the night at the Jiaofang Division tonight?" Ji Qingzhou asked Li Zhan after he realized it.

Li Zhan responded, avoiding the young man's gaze, but inadvertently landed on the young man's hand.

Ji Qingzhou guessed that the people outside were almost gone, so he asked Li Zhan, "Should we go?"

"En." Li Zhan responded, but sat where he was and didn't get up.

Ji Qingzhou didn't know, so he looked at Li Zhan with a questioning gaze, that means whether to go or not?

Li Zhan raised his eyebrows with a slightly awkward expression, and then glanced at the burning oil lamp in the room.

Ji Qingzhou was startled, and then noticed that the corners of Li Zhan's eyes were slightly red, and his breathing seemed to be unsteady. He was so familiar with this scene!Ji Qingzhou secretly thought something was wrong, and then subconsciously glanced at Li Zhan...

Ji Qingzhou: ...

This Jiaofang Secretary even added fuel to the oil lamps in the private seat? ? ?

There is no bottom line!
