Chapter 204 Visiting the Yan Family

Twelve Niang felt that it was shameful for her second brother to do this, and struggled to get him to let go, but then she heard Yan Shiyi whisper: "You are stupid! I did this so that my eldest brother could talk to Miss Ji alone."

Twelve Lady was shocked: "You also know what's on my brother's mind?"

Yan Shiyi looked at her proudly: "I knew it a long time ago!"

Twelve Lady sighed softly: "It's useless to know, Miss Ji and the prince are in love with each other."

Yan Shiyi was furious: "What? How is my brother worse than Jun Yanqing? Is there something wrong with Miss Ji's eyes?"

Then he said, "That's good too. If she really becomes our sister-in-law, I'd be scared!"

"What should we do now? Should we go tell Big Brother?"

Yan Shiyi squatted under the eaves and used his sword to sharpen the ice spike. Twelve Niang also squatted beside him. The brother and sister were both wearing white cloaks, revealing their black hair. From a distance, they looked like two giant pandas squatting and playing.

"Forget it. Big brother wants to talk to her about something serious. Let's not disturb her."

Yan Shiyi's real idea is that Miss Ji hasn't married yet, so if Big Brother wants to snatch her away, then we will help! I still don't believe that Jun Yanqing can snatch Big Brother away in Yandi!

I’m afraid that my eldest brother is too upright and prudent and won’t do anything to rob people.

Yan Shiyi asked Twelve Niang in a low voice: "If Big Brother wants to snatch Miss Ji away, will you help?"

Twelve Lady affirmed: "Of course I will help! If Sui Sui marries Big Brother, we can be together forever."

Yan Shiyi frowned. Why does this sound so strange? Big brother is marrying a sister-in-law for us, not for you? What do you mean you two can be together forever? Could it be that my silly sister knows that Miss Ji is a woman and still can't forget her? What a terrible woman! She actually bewitched my big brother and little sister!

Now Yan Shiyi no longer supports his elder brother in snatching people: "Forget it, even if you snatch the person, you can't snatch his heart."

Twelve Lady disagreed: "Only by taking the person back can we warm up! With our eldest brother, it is only a matter of time before Miss Ji's heart is moved."

The two were discussing secretly when they suddenly heard Butler Yan shouting outside: "The master invites the second young master and the young lady to the front hall."

The two looked at each other. Did they finish the conversation so quickly? Did the elder brother express his feelings?

When they arrived at the front hall, they looked around carefully and found Yan Jiu sitting in front of the desk with a map spread out on the table. Miss Ji was talking about something with great interest.

Seeing them coming in, Yan Jiu slowly rolled up the map and said to Yan Shiyi, "Tomorrow I will invite Miss Ji to Yanzhou City. You should prepare in advance and bring all the embroiderers from the farm home. Miss Ji will teach them how to weave wool."

Jin Sui originally wanted Yan Jiu to send people to the border town to teach, but Yan Jiu said that the workshop would be built in Yanzhou City. She had never been to Yanzhou City before, so she might as well go in and take a look.

Jin Sui thought so too, and she was even planning to take a look at the Yan family’s ship.

Moreover, thinking carefully, she had never entered Yanzhou City! Whether she went to besiege the city to ask for money or to mobilize the nobles to fund the fight against the Tartars, she was only outside the city gate.

Twelve Lady was very happy: "Sui Sui, please stay at my house for a few more days!"

Jinsui didn't have lunch at Yan's house because she had to hurry to move the textile machine out of the space. Wool weaving is not like cotton or linen weaving. It involves many steps, and the dirty and hard wool needs to be washed clean.

The wool is then brushed repeatedly with an iron barbed plate until it becomes soft, and then clamped with a barbed roller until it becomes cotton-like fluff, and finally spun into wool yarn. This requires multiple processes, and of course multiple textile machines are also needed.

She hoped that the Yan family could learn it as soon as possible. She certainly couldn’t live in Yanzhou forever. She had to investigate the terrain of the academy and design the architectural drawings.

She really couldn't be too busy. If she didn't owe Yan Jiu a huge favor, she would definitely not go to Yanzhou, but let Yan Jiu send someone to learn from her.

When she came out of the space and opened the door of the room, she saw Gu Changxiao sitting in the corridor.

She was startled: "When did you come?"

Gu Changxiao smiled and said, "I just arrived, I called you twice, but I guessed you were taking a nap, so I didn't go in to disturb you."

It seems that she really needs to find a helper, otherwise her secret will be discovered by Gu Changxiao or Grandpa Ling sooner or later.

How could she know that the secret had already been discovered! It was just that Gu Changxiao and Grandpa Ling wanted her to stay by their side, and they were not curious about other secrets.

The only one who was curious was Liuyun, but that child had already determined that Jinsui was a god and had a Qiankun bag on him.

"I heard that you are going to Yanzhou City tomorrow?"

Jin Sui nodded: "Yes, I will go to the Yan family to teach the embroiderer how to spin wool, and then go to see the Yan family's ships. The head of the Yan family said that I don't need to find the sea route myself, just give him the map and he will arrange someone to go."

Gu Changxiao thought to himself that he still had some conscience. If he insisted on letting Jinsui go out to sea and then took the opportunity to accompany him, Gu Changxiao would definitely use all means to stop him.

Now it seems that although Yan Jiu is annoying, he is still upright.

"I'll go into town with you tomorrow."

Jin Sui disagreed: "No, what if there are assassins? What if the Yandi nobles want to cause trouble? We can't enter Yanzhou City at the same time."

This is Jinsui's true feelings. In some ways, Yanzhou is no less dangerous than the northern border.

Because we know very well that people in the northern border hate the Xia people, so we are always on guard. But it is different in Yanzhou, you don't know whether the one smiling at you is an enemy or a friend.

Gu Changxiao chuckled and said, "I can't hide in the border town and not see anyone, can I? I believe those people dare not mess around in the Yan family's territory."

But in his heart, he was more worried about Sui Sui being snatched away by Yan Jiu than Prince Yu's assassins or the nobles who hated him.

He was worried about leaving Sui Sui alone to stay at the Yan Mansion! Enemies can never be killed or eliminated, but Sui Sui is the only one. It was not easy for her to recognize him and express their feelings to each other. He couldn't give Yan Jiu that guy a chance! "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning! It's settled. I'll accompany you to the Yan family."

"I'll make the arrangements. We'll have dinner in the barracks. If Sui Sui still cooks that noodle at night, please leave a pot for me!"

He climbed over the wall again and left. Jin Sui complained, who promised not to climb over the wall again last time? As a result, when she talked about tomorrow's schedule with Grandpa and Jin An during dinner, their reactions were the same as Gu Changxiao's: "We will go with you!"

Jin Sui hurriedly said: "No need, the prince will go too." How come Yanzhou City has become like a den of dragons and tigers?

Grandpa Ling insisted: "I heard that Chang'an was in chaos because of the Northern Frontier delegation's entry. They were all talking about the collusion between Prince Yu and Zuo Xian Wang, and they also exposed the fact that Prince Yu had hidden troops in the Luocheng area.

Although we are far from Chang'an, Prince Yu will definitely blame you for this. What if he sends assassins? Yanzhou is not as safe as the border town. No, I must go with you."

Jin Sui said with a smile: "You can't defeat an assassin even if there is one!"

Jinan spoke for Grandpa: "But Grandpa can tell fortunes! He can tell which road is safe!"

Jinsui laughed. Are you using Grandpa's divination as a wayfinding machine? "What about you? Why do you want to go too?" She was teasing her brother on purpose.

Unexpectedly, Jin An patted his chest and said, "I can protect my sister! Besides, are you sure you can leave me alone at home?"

Just like that, what was supposed to be a serious "business trip" turned into a family trip.

The next morning, Gu Changxiao went to Ji's house and waited. Grandpa Ling thought that the prince came to Ji's house more often than he went back to the palace.

Before breakfast was even started, Twelve Lady came with the cook: "Big brother and second brother went back to the city yesterday to prepare."

After having breakfast at the Yan family, Shi Er Niang saw Gu Chang Xiao was there too and asked Jin Sui in a low voice, "Is he going too?"

Jinsui nodded, and Shi Er Niang looked embarrassed. The vixen was so annoying, she kept clinging to Suisui so tightly!

Gu Changxiao ignored it and called Han Xing over, "Sit down and eat."

In an instant, Twelve Niang stopped glaring at Gu Changxiao and instead recommended snacks to Han Xing.

Jin Sui moved the loom onto the carriage and asked Hei Hu to pull it. Hei Hu was not wearing a military uniform, but a bright red suit, his beard was trimmed, and even his fingers were clean.

Jin Sui smiled and said to Twelve Lady, "Hurry up and choose an auspicious date for Miss Bai to get married. We, Hei Hu, can't wait any longer."

Hei Hu said embarrassedly: "No hurry, no hurry, my house is not yet decorated. Master Cheng said that February 2nd is a good day, we can get married then."

Twelve Niang teased him deliberately: "Although Baozhu is my maid, she still needs a betrothal gift!"

Hei Hu patted his chest and said, "With a betrothal gift of thirty-six bearers and a sedan chair of eight bearers, I will let Miss Bai marry in a grand manner!"

Han Xing spoke up for Hei Hu: "He is preparing to hunt geese recently, and asked Madam Chen to prepare the betrothal gifts. He will definitely not treat Miss Bai unfairly."

Jin Sui deliberately asked, "Shi Er Niang, what is the betrothal gift for marrying you?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Twelve Lady blushed instantly and looked at Han Xing carefully: "It's easy to get a priceless treasure, but it's hard to get a lover. I don't care about the betrothal gift."

Jin Sui helped her finish: "You just want the other person's true heart, right? Oh my, I wonder who is so lucky to marry our Twelve Lady with a true heart."

She found that Han Xing was holding the reins tightly, his face red, but he lowered his head and said nothing.

Is this guy still feeling inferior and thinking that he is not worthy of Twelve Lady? She rode to Gu Changxiao and whispered, "You have to promote Han Xing quickly!"

Gu Changxiao couldn't quite follow her train of thought. How come they were talking about the betrothal gift and suddenly turned it into promoting Han Xing?

He took the opportunity to ask in a low voice: "Sui Sui, what do you want as a betrothal gift?"

Now it was Jin Sui's turn to feel embarrassed: "Didn't you give it to me? Why are you still asking?"

The Yan family had originally prepared a luxurious carriage for her and Twelve Lady to ride in. In the end, only Grandpa Ling and Jin An were sitting in it and eating fruit.

When they arrived at Yanhui Lake, where Jinsui and Shier Niang had first met, everyone talked about the old story and laughed.

Jin Sui said to Shi Er Niang with regret: "If only I were a real man, I would definitely marry you!"

Twelve Niang covered her face and glanced at Han Xing. Coincidentally, Han Xing was also looking at her. They looked at each other and then quickly looked away.

How innocent! When they were almost at the gate of Yanzhou, they could faintly hear the sound of gongs and drums. Jin'an curiously leaned over to see, "Is anyone getting married?"

At this time, a horn was blown on the city wall. Jin Sui reacted instinctively to the sound and immediately took out his crossbow and said to Han Xing, "Something is wrong. Escort the prince away immediately!"

Gu Changxiao said, "Escort Miss Ji and her family away."

Seeing that they had misunderstood, Twelve Lady hurriedly said, "No, it's my brother and the others who are preparing to welcome Miss Ji to Yanzhou City."

At this time, people from the city came out. Two teams of maids held flowers, and two teams of young men held fine wine. They were all dressed the same. They were not ordinary people, but servants of the Yan family.

There were also guards beating gongs and drums, and a very long red carpet extended from the city wall to outside the city.

Yan Jiu and Li Heng came out of the city to greet them at the same time. Yan Shiyi acted like an accuser, directing his servants to sprinkle flower petals and serve wine to the people of Border Town, and also shouting, "Pull harder, blow louder!"

There were many people inside and outside the city watching from a distance. Jinsui felt very embarrassed, it was so awkward!

She hid behind Gu Changxiao: "This is to welcome His Majesty the Prince of Li."

Gu Changxiao also pulled the corner of his mouth: "But I heard that Miss Ji is welcome."

Yan Twelve was still asking, "Sui Sui, do you like it? My brother and the others prepared it overnight."

Jin Sui asked speechlessly: "Why do you think I would like such a ceremony?"

Yan Shiyi was unhappy: "Didn't you tell Li Zhoumu before that you must be welcomed with flowers and wine when you come to Yanzhou City? I have been busy for a whole day and night. You dare to say you are not satisfied?"

Jin Sui asked Li Heng: "When did I say this?"

Li Heng looked at Gu Changxiao carefully and said hesitantly, "You said that when you were still a prince."

Jin Sui remembered that it was when she had just arrived at the border town that Li Heng deliberately sent a minor official to spread the news, and he himself did not show up.

Chunchun looked down on our Li Wang. Jinsui was so immersed in the play that he really thought of himself as Li Wang. He said, "You don't want me to enter Yanzhou City, but I don't want to go! Unless flowers pave the way and fine wine welcome you, I will never enter Yanzhou City! " But now I am no longer Li Wang!

Making such a grand event, isn't it just a joke to the people?

She whispered to Hei Hu, "Why don't you bring Miss Bai out? The ceremony should not be wasted. You two can walk hand in hand across the carpet into the city, and everyone in the city will congratulate you on your marriage."

Hei Hu was very interested and asked Shi Er Niang, "Is it okay?"

Last time he was at the polo match, he stole the spotlight by carrying the white girl on the horse's back. This guy loves to be in the spotlight.

Yan Shiyi was extremely angry: "Of course not! This is what I prepared to welcome Miss Ji, not for your wedding!"

He asked Jinsui angrily, "What do you mean?"

Jin Sui said quickly, "I'm just kidding. I'm very happy. Thank you, Mr. Turtle, for taking me seriously. Let's go into the city quickly before all the people in the city come to see us."

She said it was too late. By the time they entered the city, at least half of the people, if not all of them, had come.

The maidservants of the Yan family followed them and scattered flower petals, and the band followed with music and drums. The people didn't know what they were doing at first, but later they realized that the man in the middle was King Li.

Only then did he realize: "The Yan family has indeed joined forces with the Li King."

Yan Jiu's eyes twitched slightly.

"Didn't they say that the King of Li is a eunuch? This looks very majestic!"

Gu Changxiao's eyes twitched slightly.

Jin Sui wanted to wrap his face with a piece of cloth. What's the difference between this and social death? Why did I say such a bold statement at that time? Only Grandpa Ling and Jin An were the happiest. Grandpa Ling was wearing a Taoist robe and kept waving to the people, looking like an immortal.

The people were indeed convinced and bowed to Grandpa Ling one after another.

The Taoist priest who was respectfully invited by the King of Li, the Master of the Yan Family, and the City Master Li must be very powerful! What was even more terrifying was that when they arrived at the gate of the Yan Mansion, there was actually a large group of servants holding a banner saying "Welcome Miss Ji to be our guest."

Yan Shiyi was still seeking praise: "Are you satisfied? Is it grand enough?"
