Beloved Plantation King

Usually when Ji Yuebai comes over, he will have lunch at Yin Peinan's house, and then spend some time with Zuo An, and go back in the afternoon when the sun is not so bright.

Today is no exception.

After Xiaobao and the others dragged the watermelon away, Ji Yuebai went back to Yin Peinan's house, carrying the pheasant and wild rabbit that Yin Peinan caught in the woods.

He was familiar with the road, and he didn't need anyone to take him. He came back directly from the back door, because the front door was too far away, and Zuo An and the others usually worked at the kitchen.

"An'an, Auntie, I'm back!" Ji Yuebai patted the back door.

In the yard, Zuo An and Zhao Xiu'e went to the front yard to dry their clothes. Kang Ming and Min Yan both injured their backs and couldn't raise their hands, so they didn't go there.

Hearing the knock on the door at this moment, Kang Ming went to Min Yan's side to protect him.

Min Yan heard that the people outside were obviously familiar with Zuo An and the others, so he said, "It's okay, they know each other. Go and open the door."

Kang Ming still raised his vigilance, took a thousand loads and walked over, put them in a place by the wall where he could easily take them, and then opened the back door.

After the door opened, Ji Yuebai didn't even look at who opened the door, happily picked up the things he was carrying, and said loudly: "Auntie, An'an, look, Yin Peinan caught a mountain in the woods... Uh, Hello, you are?"

Ji Yuebai didn't enter the house in the morning, so he didn't see Min Yan and the others, and Yin Peinan and the others didn't have time to tell him what happened yesterday.At this moment, when he entered the door and saw a strange man, Ji Yuebai was stunned for a moment.

who is this?It seems that the village has never seen such a person.

Are you here for business?But why don't you see An'an and the others?There is no reason for a guest to open the door.

Could it be a burglar in the house? !

Ji Yuebai's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he might be telling the truth.

Thieves also broke into Yin Peinan's house before, he had heard from Zuo An and the others before.Zuo An's family is now considered a well-known rich man in this area, maybe someone will come to steal things.

What about Ann and them?Aren't they at home?Is there something wrong?No one is there, is he tied up?

Ji Yuebai was so anxious that he never thought that the thief would dare to open the door if he heard someone coming and why he didn't hide.

Then, he heard the man in front say: "Hello. Brother An and Auntie went to the front yard to dry clothes."

"... Oh oh." Ji Yuebai felt that this man became more and more suspicious the more he looked.Look, this tall man looks very nervous, especially those eyes, which are full of vigilance.I haven't seen it in the village before, and the accent is still different. It's not An An or aunt who opened the door...

All indications were that something was wrong.He didn't dare to enter the house anymore, and he took back his right foot that stepped into the house.

What about An An?Didn't hear the sound, is it really tied up?

As soon as this thought came out, Ji Yuebai's heart tightened, he was very worried about Zuo An's safety.

He stretched his neck to look into the house, but from here he could only see the well and the pots on the ground, and it was hard to judge what was going on.

He swallowed his saliva, and simply shouted: "An'an! Auntie! Are you at home? I'm Bo Geer, and I'm back! Make a sound when you are here!"

Kang Ming frowned at his loud voice, opened the door a little more, and said, "They're here, come in."

The door was opened wide, and Ji Yuebai suddenly saw the thousand loads on the wall.My good boy, weapon, if you go in by yourself, you will be knocked out immediately!

"...Uh, I, I still, wait for a while. Haha, I'm not in a hurry..." If you want me to go in, just knock me out?no way!

Ji Yuebai swallowed again nervously, looked to the side, and shouted at the top of his voice, "An'an! Auntie! Are you there? Make a noise!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw another man walking over from the kitchen.

Ji Yuebai: ...and accomplices!Although he is a brother, he is also a man!

How can this be done?There is a mountain behind Yin Peinan's house, and few people usually pass by here, unless they are going to the mountains.

He took two steps back and glanced to the side, just in time to see two people passing by carrying firewood. He knew the person in front, Hu Daqiang who had a good relationship with Yin Peinan's family.

Ji Yuebai seemed to see a savior.

He turned around and ran, throwing away all the pheasants and wild rabbits in his hand, and shouted as he ran: "Uncle Daqiang! Help, Yin Peinan's house has broken into robbers! An'an was arrested by them!"

"...Hey, you misunderstood..." Kang Ming was stunned, stretching out his arms, but Ji Yuebai had already run away.Then he saw the pheasant and wild rabbit hopping away outside the door, and he brought them back and put them by the wall.

Min Yan: "..." I was treated as a thief for the first time in my life.

Cong'er, who was playing on the other side, was taken aback, Da Da Da ran over and asked, "Daddy, is there a thief?"

Min Yan: "...No, let's go play."

Over there, Uncle Daqiang and his son went to the mountains to check the traps and cages, collected the prey, and came back with a load of firewood.As soon as they heard that there was a thief, the two threw the firewood and prey on the ground, took out the hatchet and a thousand loads, and ran over.

"The thief is here again?! Quick, go and see!"

The three ran back again.

When they rushed into the back door of Yin Peinan's house, they happened to see Zuo An and Zhao Xiu'e coming back from the front with wooden basins.

Zuo An looked at them holding hatchets and thousands of loads, his face was very anxious, and he asked suspiciously: "Uncle Daqiang? Brother Bo, what's the matter? I just heard that there are thieves, where are the thieves?"

Ji Yuebai was in a daze. He looked at Zuo An and Zhao Xiu'e, then at the two suspicious men standing beside them, pointed and said, "Uh, you guys, aren't they thieves?"

Zuo An looked at Min Yan and Kang Ming, and said, "No, they are guests."

"Ah?" Ji Yuebai widened his eyes and asked, "I called you just now, why didn't you answer? I thought they were thieves and tied you up."

Zuo An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied: "My mother and I finished drying the clothes, and Auntie Xiu came to us at the front door, and we talked for a while at the door. We also heard voices from the back of the house, but we couldn't hear what they were shouting at." What, I only heard that there were thieves, so I hurried back to check."

Ji Yuebai: "..."

"That's it, I misunderstood you, and you shouldn't answer me, I thought something bad happened to you." After finishing speaking, Ji Yuebai scratched his head, and embarrassedly said to Min Yan and Kang Ming: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you gone."

Min Yan smiled lightly and shook his head, "No problem, just a misunderstanding."

Ji Yuebai complained to Zuo An again: "Hey, it's not good if the house is too big. I yelled so loudly at the back door, but you couldn't hear it clearly at the front door!"

Zuo An smiled and said, "You, how could a thief be so bold as to open the door for you, and besides, we haven't heard our dog barking in broad daylight."

Ji Yuebai was stunned: "Yeah, I just said that something was wrong, so I didn't hear the dog barking. Oh no, the dog might be drugged or something..."

"Yes, you are right." Zuo An patted him and said, "Brother Bo, thank you for worrying about us so much. Thank you."

The misunderstanding was resolved, and several people were dumbfounded.

After seeing off Uncle Daqiang and his son, Zuo An re-introduced Min Yan and Kang Ming to Ji Yuebai, and briefly told him that Min Yan and the others were injured in an accident during the heavy rain yesterday and stayed at home for a few days matter.

Ji Yuebai made a joke, was very annoyed, and solemnly apologized to Min Yan and the others.

Min Yan naturally wouldn't argue with him, and said, "It's okay. You two have such a good relationship."

Ji Yuebai smiled and said, "That's right, we love each other like brothers."

With the addition of Ji Yuebai, the house is even more lively.

Ji Yuebai is very good at chatting, and he knows astronomy and geography, so he can talk about everything. With him around, the topics are endless, and there will be no cold moments.

How many people are busy preparing

Chat while preparing lunch.

Ji Yuebai said while plucking chicken feathers: "Hey, by the way, An An, Mr. Guo sent someone to say that he will come here in two days. Isn't this about to be harvested? He said he wanted to see the rice. We need to discuss the promotion of grain seeds after the summer harvest."

Zuo An replied: "Oh, that's fine, you tell him that we are all at home, and he can come anytime. We are about to start working on the matter of grain seeds."

When Min Yan heard this, he paused when he was choosing vegetables, and almost forgot that Guo Yi was on business here.He glanced at Kang Ming.

Kang Ming understood, and asked casually, "Brother An, who are you talking about, Mr. Guo?"

Hearing this, Zuo An straightened up, thinking about Min Yan and the others.

He looked at Min Yan and said: "Master Guo is the head of the household department, Mr. Guo Yi. He was ordered by the emperor to promote new rice seeds. He often comes down to check on the growth of our rice. Brother Yan, is it convenient for you? If not , I’ll let him come back a few days later.”

Hearing this, Ji Yuebai looked at Min Yan and the others curiously.What does Master Guo Yi have to do with Brother Yan and the others when he comes down?He looked at them curiously.

Min Yan thought for a while and asked, "Did he bring many people?"

Zuo An replied: "Not necessarily. Sometimes he comes down alone, and sometimes another clerk from the household department will come down together. That clerk is Ding Xiao, the eldest son of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry. Sometimes our county magistrate Master Liu will also come down with the master book."

Min Yan said: "If Guo Yi is alone, then there is no problem."

Zuo An said: "Then let's wait a few days, just in case."

Min Yan smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's okay, I don't want to delay Mr. Guo's errand. It's just that he needs to be invited alone."

Now that he said that, Zuo An nodded and said, "That's fine. Brother Bo, I'll write a letter later, can you bring it to Mr. Guo for me?"

Ji Yuebai was very curious, but he couldn't ask directly, so he said, "Okay."

After waiting for a while, Ji Yuebai took Zuo An to the study when he found an opportunity.

Ji Yuebai would come over every day, so Zuo An told him about Min Yan, and told him: "It should be some important person, remember not to tell it, they will leave in a few days."

Ji Yuebai stretched out his hand and tugged at his mouth, expressing his tight-lipped, and said: "I understand, don't worry."

Zuo An said again: "If there are merchants from other places who come to wholesale these few days, remember not to bring them into the house, just go directly to Guadai."

Ji Yuebai: "Okay."

For the next two days, the three of Min Yan and the others stayed at home to rest and recuperate without going out.

Because of curiosity, Min Yan followed Zhao Xiu'e to learn how to make yuba. At night, he even sewed a small handkerchief to give to Zuo An's unborn baby.

Cong'er also likes to play with Ning Ge'er and the others very much, and especially likes to run wildly with the dogs all over the yard with Ning Ge'er and the others, laughing, very happy.

Get along fairly well.

Because of Min Yan's affairs, Yin Peinan didn't go to Guadai to watch the night just in case, fearing that he would not be able to come back in time if something happened, so he invited Uncle Daqiang to help him watch for a few days.

It was also during these two days that Yin Peinan and the others discovered that Min Yan and the others would receive letters from Feige every night.

Yin Peinan and Zuo An also pretended not to know, but judging from Min Yan's expressions, they were much relieved, so they guessed that things should be going well.

On the morning of the fourth day, Guo Yi came over in Ji Yuebai's carriage.

He was still wondering why Zuo An wrote him a special letter this time, telling him to go there alone.But it doesn't matter if he is alone, he came in Ji Yuebai's carriage, not even the carriage driver.

The carriage soon arrived at Yin Peinan's house, and went directly to the back door.Because they were going to pack watermelons, it was still early and the sun had just come out.

"Hey, it's good to come out this morning, it's cool." Guo Yi jumped off the carriage and said to Ji Yuebai, "Thank you, Brother Bai."

Ji Yuebai also dismounted

Car, and replied: "Master Guo, you are welcome. It is still early, let's go in now, maybe we can catch up with their breakfast."

Guo Yi said: "I didn't eat breakfast, I came here after eating. Brother Bai can still have some more, I think you probably didn't eat in the morning."

Ji Yuebai knocked on the door and said with a smile: "I just want to come here to eat. Yin Peinan, we are here, open the door quickly."

"Here we come!" Yin Peinan came out biting a steamed bun, opened the door and said, "Good morning, Mr. Guo. Have you eaten yet? We are eating, let's have some together."

Ji Yuebai: "I didn't eat, I didn't eat, I came when I woke up."

Guo Yi said: "I have eaten, you can eat."

A few people walked to the door of the kitchen, just as Min Yan and Cong'er had finished eating and came out to the well to wash their hands.

Guo Yi looked up at Min Yan and Cong'er, and was stunned.

"The emperor..."

"Brother Bai, are you here?" Min Yan hurriedly interrupted Guo Yi, gave him a look, and then said to him: "Master Guo, long time no see, I didn't expect to see you here. Have you had breakfast yet?"

Ji Yuebai and Yin Peinan looked a little strange, but from Master Guo Yi's appearance, they should know each other.

Guo Yi still had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't know why these two were here, but he understood the look in their eyes just now.

He clasped his fists in salute, because he didn't know who this person was, so he nodded and said: "...Long time no see. Wei, I've eaten."

Ji Yuebai asked: "Master Guo, Brother Yan, do you know each other?"

Guo Yi didn't know this person's plan, so he just nodded: "I know."

Min Yan said with a smile: "My father and Mr. Guo are colleagues, we have met several times."

Guo Yi nodded and said respectfully, "Yes."

Seeing this, Yin Peinan felt a little embarrassed now, and said, "Brother Bai, you haven't eaten yet, go in and eat."

Ji Yuebai came to his senses, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm starving to death, go have breakfast. Brother Yan, have you eaten yet?"

Min Yan nodded: "We finished eating and are going to wash our hands."

"Then you go, Yin Peinan, let's go in and eat."

Ji Yuebai and Yin Peinan went in, and Yin Peinan listened carefully to the movement outside with his ears up, but unfortunately the voices of eating and talking in the room were too loud to hear clearly.

Outside the house, after seeing Yin Peinan and the others entered the house, Min Yan gave Guo Yi a wink, and then walked to the guest room.

Guo Yi quickly followed.

After entering the room, Guo Yi knelt down with a thud, and made a big salute: "I will see the Empress, Your Highness the Sixth Prince."

Min Yan sat on the chair, put away the smiling face just now, and said calmly: "Master Guo, please sit down."

"Thank you, empress." Guo Yi sat on a chair beside him and asked, "Why are your empress and the sixth prince here? Where are the guards beside you?"

Min Yan stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, and said, "Lord Guo, to make a long story short. This trip with Cong'er was a secret. A few days ago we met an assassin in Yu County, the border between Qingzhou and Kangzhou. After the guards died, we I brought Cong'er here. Two days ago, there was a heavy rainstorm and an accident happened, and I was rescued by Yin Peinan's family. They don't know our identities, so don't tell them to scare them."

As soon as Guo Yi heard that they met the assassin, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, do you know who the assassin is? Yu County is only three days away from here, and it is not safe without guards here. Madam, I will go back immediately and bring someone to protect my mother and His Highness to the county. Go to the Yamen, and then find a way to send the empress back to the palace..."

"Wait." Min Yan interrupted him and said, "No, we are right here, and this place is the safest right now. The assassins have already been dealt with, so you don't need to worry. Now, I want you to help me with a thing."

Guo Yi immediately knelt down: "My lady, please tell me."

Min Yan took out a letter from his bosom, flipped through the instructions, and finally said: "...Master Guo, we are safe now. We just happened to be in this Nanpo Village. I like this family very much.

.We will stay here for a few more days, you can just treat me as the young master of my colleague's family, my name is Min Yan now, you can just call me Young Master Min, and you can just call me Young Master Cong'er, don't make a mistake.You can finish your original work today and go back. I will go to the fields with you later to see the situation. "

Guo Yi also wanted to persuade Min Yan to go back to the palace: "Your Majesty, it's not safe for you and Your Highness to be outside like this, so we should escort you..."

"Don't say too much, let's go."

Guo Yi: "...Yes, I will follow your mother's will."
