Ji Yunxi picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Well, I'll write it down."
The servant who came with the housekeeper to help heard this and asked boldly, "Master, Seventh Master, Third Miss, I delivered something to the Yang Mansion a while ago and also gave a few strings of candied haws to their housekeeper. Do you want me to record this?"

Three days later, on the seventh day of the eleventh month of the twenty-first year of Youchang, there was a heavy snowfall.
The Li family held a banquet at their separate courtyard, Jingyayuan, and invited all the young men and women in the capital to attend.
Snowflakes fell silently among the branches and grass, stretching out a stretch of bright white.
The plum blossoms in the yard are in full bloom, competing with each other in beauty and beauty, and are as beautiful as those in spring.
Ji Yunxi wore a satin skirt with a pattern of hundreds of butterflies and a cloak of the same color made of fine fox fur.
Every piece of jewelry she wore was extremely exquisite, and the finest rouge gave her a face as beautiful as a flower, surpassing the countless plum blossoms in the courtyard.
Ji Mingshuang, the seventh son of the Ji family, was accompanying him.
Unlike his sister, he always thought that fancy clothes were too complicated, so he only wore a plain white shirt. Moreover, people who practiced martial arts were not afraid of the cold, so he didn't even wear a cloak.
But that face was too conspicuous, and the young ladies who were gathered in twos and threes shyly turned their eyes away.
In the entire Dayu Dynasty, no man could compete with Ji Mingshuang in terms of appearance.
Women can't do that either.
Everyone agreed that although Ji Yunxi was beautiful, she was too extravagant and vulgar, and lacked her brother's graceful beauty.
Ji Yunxi herself also acknowledged this.
She is just a vulgar person.
The good looks given by parents are also tinged with the smell of money.
Although the weather was freezing cold, there was a stove in the main hall of Jingya Courtyard, which brought pleasant warmth.
But most young men and women still prefer to walk in the yard with umbrellas.
Admire the plum blossoms, look at the snow, and chat.
Ji Yunxi stood in the corridor, holding the exquisite little heater, and asked directly, "Who is Wu Guanshan?"
Ji Qi: “…”
He was so disappointed that he said, "Ji San, the snow scene in Jingyayuan is rare. Can't you just enjoy it for a while?"
Ji Yunxi: "Oh."
Ji Qi continued talking about his sister: "Why are you so anxious to get married? Have we, as your brothers, wronged you at home?"
Ji Yunxi: "No, you all treat me very well."
While she was casually dealing with her brother, her eyes slowly swept over the young men in the yard.
Suddenly, her eyes fixed.
Ji Yunxi saw a pair of hands.
The hands were also covering a heater, but the heater was very rough and not small, and looked very bulky.
But that hand was extremely beautiful, with long, slender fingers and distinct joints.
If he lived in modern times, this person could rely on his hands to do some work and still have no worries about having a house and a car, and having food and clothing.
But the most important thing is that there is a thin scar between the ring finger and little finger of this person's right hand, and the shape is a bit like a waning moon.
Ji Yunxi was very sure that she had seen it.
When she was six years old, Ji Yunxi was abducted by human traffickers.
There are many children in the same boat.
Those who disobey will be beaten severely.
Ji Yunxi naturally behaved very obediently, but she would shed a few tears with the children to appease the thieves.
She found that the tallest boy among the children looked cowardly and scared, and he could cry easily.
It’s useless to be so tall.
Later, when the boat reached the shore, the thieves loaded the children into a car and sent them off to an unknown destination.
Just as they were on the road, in the middle of the night, when everyone was drowsy, the boy suddenly took action and killed several thieves who were accompanying him with lightning speed.
He has a very stable mentality, is extremely accurate in his moves, and is very ruthless.
It is obvious that he has learned martial arts since he was a child, and his temperament is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Ji Yunxi thought she was finally saved.
As a result, the boy killed the man but did not intend to take care of the remaining children. He did not even untie them and wanted to leave.
Ji Yunxi was not a real child, and had already found a way to secretly loosen her rope.
She ran over, grabbed the boy tightly, and negotiated with him.
He took her away safely.
She gave him a thousand taels of gold.
Ji Yunxi can still clearly remember the boy's expression at that time.
He just smiled, an ordinary and sincere smile.
It's just the smile of ordinary boys on the street.
Ji Yunxi felt stable.
As a result, she was knocked unconscious.
After waking up, she was already lying on a comfortable and soft couch.
Her mother told her that someone had sent a letter to the local county magistrate, informing them of their location.
Ji Yunxi thought that this boy was not a bad person.
But later she found out that the fine agate and one thousand taels of silver notes that she had hidden in her socks after trying every possible way to hide them from the traffickers were gone.
Still there before dizziness.
Damn it.
Chapter 3: Long time no see, thighs
Ji Mingshuang pointed to a place not far away, signaling Ji Yunxi to look: "That's Wu Guanshan."
Her thoughts were brought back to her senses, and she subconsciously looked in the direction that Seventh Brother pointed.
In the plum pavilion in the yard, a group of people were standing or sitting around, chatting and laughing while waiting for the plum wine to be cooked.
Ji Yunxi knew most of these people.
More than half of them are children of aristocratic families who grew up in the capital. They hang out in the same circle and are familiar with each other.
There was only one very eye-catching man whom she had never seen before.
He is handsome and his behavior exudes the style of a military commander.
He seemed to be very outgoing and got along well with these young men from aristocratic families whom he had just met today.
In her previous life, Ji Yunxi worked in the investment industry for ten years, during which time she handled countless projects and met all kinds of people.
Her intuition, honed by experience, told her that this Wu Guanshan was not the Prime Minister Wu she was looking for, the veteran who had served in three dynasties and was admired by thousands of people.
This child seems to be warm-hearted and righteous, and has no bad intentions.
Anyone who can sit in that position cannot sit steadily because his heart is full of twists and turns.
