Chapter 287: Rejected
"The five-year period is almost over. Are you going back to Fengzhou after you leave the hospital?"
Lu Qingqiu was just thinking about the "confirmation" matter when she came back to her senses after hearing the voice. When she heard the word Fengzhou, she was stunned for a moment and bit her red lips lightly.
Are we going to Fengzhou after leaving the hospital? It seems that Ji You really wants them to eat something else together.
In an instant, many images appeared in the mind of the eldest lady of the Lu family.
Ji You looked at her blushing cheeks and realized that he had said the wrong thing: "You kept talking about Fengzhou's food these days during the disaster relief. I think you were talking too much. What I meant was, will you return to Yunzhou after you leave the hospital?"
"According to my father's arrangement, I should join the Lingshi Chamber of Commerce after I return home."
The Lu family does not have high talent for cultivation, but the two daughters of the Lu family are the best. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be in power in the future Lingshi Chamber of Commerce. If they can be persuaded to change the system, the foster care system in Yunzhou that makes the descendants of miners in debt from birth may be better.
However, seeing that Lu Qingqiu looked like he wanted to "confirm" the rumor, it seemed easier to persuade him with other means than with words.
Kuang Cheng was right. Cultivation is useless. In the end, a good body is more useful.
At this moment, Ji You's mind was filled with inexplicable thoughts. He secretly thought that what the ancients said was right, people's hearts are really yellow.
Afterwards, the two chatted about some trivial things, and then Lu Qingqiu was called over by a maid who came hurriedly from the courtyard and took a thick stack of invitations from her.
As Xinyuan approaches, the Lingshi Chamber of Commerce has a lot of activities in the capital, which are basically handled by Miss Lu.
This year, she visited the same few people as before, but she received more invitations.
Lu Qingqiu actually knew very well that these extra invitations might not be for their Lu family. A big reason was because others knew that she had lost her virginity to Ji You.
Probably many people wanted to find out through him what was going on with Ji You and why Tianshuyuan had such a strange attitude towards him.
Then the two of them waved goodbye. Ji You turned and left the outer courtyard, walked along the mountain road to the inner courtyard, and took out the cotton shoes, flowered jacket, tea cups, and cotton pads that he had stored in the camphor wood box last year.
Among them was a letter from Yuan Caiwei, which was delivered by Ji You when he went to the disaster relief a few days ago.
Tianshuyuan is the last stop on Danzong’s elixir transportation route. Yuan Caiwei and Yuan Chen are coming to deliver the elixir, and they specifically told him the arrival date.
This reminded Ji You of that winter day when there were three of them in a room and the corner of his mouth was bitten by the jealous judge.
Oh, it's getting more and more lively...
Ji You put the letter away and found the disciple guarding the mountain gate.
He was not in the hospital now, so he left the address of Wulv Company and asked the gatekeeper disciple to wait until someone from Dan Sect arrived and then pass on the message, and then he went down the mountain.
When he returned to Wulv Trading Company, he saw a beautiful figure from afar.
Yan Shuyi was wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress, looking delicate and graceful, and was strolling in front of the shop with Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu.
She was veiled, with only her beautiful eyes visible. After seeing Ji You, she nodded calmly, as if they were only acquaintances once.
If you are not familiar with him, you won’t get fucked.
Ji You looked at her at this time: "Have you had lunch?"
“I haven’t eaten yet…”
"What do you want to eat?"
Yan Shuyi was silent for a moment: "I want to eat spicy and sour potato shreds."
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, thinking that it was finally over.
After breakfast at noon, the master said he would take them out for a walk. The two thought they were going to visit the East Market and the West Market, and they were looking forward to it. But then they realized they were overthinking.
For two whole hours, they didn't stroll beyond the small area in front of Wuliu Trading Company.
They had never accompanied Yan Shuyi to Shengjing Cat to spend the winter before, but after returning, they always heard her talking about the chance encounter at Tianshuyuan and the chance encounter at the doorstep of Kuang Cheng's house.
The two were confused at the time, wondering how there could be so many chance encounters. Now it seems that they were just such chance encounters.
Then the four of them entered Wulv Trading Company. Ji You put out the teapot and teacups, boiled a pot of tea, and then rolled up his sleeves to cook.
There are not many vegetables to stir-fry in winter, but there are plenty of potatoes.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu went to help Ji You, while Yan Shuyi looked at the teacup on the table with his eyes slightly narrowed.
The strange man brought all the things she had saved from last winter, which meant that he expected that she would not be able to help but come to find him.
This actually partly felt like a demolition of her character, and the feeling of being predicted made her a little unhappy.
Ji You swung his arm and swung the shovel, lowering his voice and asking Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu, "How long have you been wandering around the door?"
Ding Yao coughed and said, "It's been about two hours since the morning."
"I thought she would at least be able to hold out for a day after she went back."
"Master Jian couldn't sleep at all when he got home last night. He kept us gathered around the stove and wouldn't let us sleep."
"Then after dinner, call her to leave and see how she reacts."
"Yes, sir."
After a while, the food was served and the four of them had lunch on a leisurely winter afternoon.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu waited until their master stopped eating and began to daydream before speaking: "Master, we agreed with Miss Rui'er to go shopping for a while and then go back. It's almost time to leave now."
Yan Shuyi didn't even turn his head, but his eyes gradually became sharp.
The two looked at each other and thought that there was a reaction, and the reaction was to pretend not to hear it.
After a moment's silence, a chuckle was heard in the hall, which instantly made Yan Shuyi narrow her eyes. She realized that her two maids had said that on purpose under the orders of Ji You, so she stood up and walked towards the hall.
After a while, a series of clattering sounds were heard in the hall.
The two of them waited without moving, counting down silently in their hearts. After a while, they heard the noise in the room stop abruptly, so they pursed their lips.
Well, the judge succeeded again, and he is probably sitting in my arms now.
At this time in the hall, Yan Shuyi's tongue was rolled up, and she struggled with a frosty face, staring straight at Ji You, her breathing becoming heavier while she was full of defense.
Ji You reached out and slapped her round buttocks, and said lightly: "Stop making trouble and get down to business."
Yan Shuyi endured the burning sensation in his buttocks and did not rub them. He glanced at the letter on the table and asked, "Are you going to resume the supply of Snow Region Demon Stone?"
That was what Ji You had just written when she came in. It was a whole page full of words, and the ink hadn't dried yet.
"In order to provide disaster relief this time, Fengzhou's grain reserves were almost exhausted. Although Daxia gave a portion from the national treasury and signed employment contracts with the victims for the rest, there is now very little money left in Fengzhou's account, and Jizhai's money has been drained out."
When Yan Shuyi heard that the money in the family was gone, a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
Ji You blew the letter dry and put it in an envelope: "The snow in Fengzhou has been getting lighter these days, and the risk of transporting spirit stones has been reduced. I have to get some back. Besides, those noble families and immortal sects are supported by the people, so I have to share some of the burden with them."
Yan Shuyi raised his eyes and looked at him: "Winter transportation is inconvenient is not a good excuse. With Qingyun Xiangui, it is difficult for anyone to attack you. But if you rely on the transportation route and increase the price, it will accumulate resentment. This is a bad idea."
"No need to increase the price. Just secretly ship a batch out and store it in a warehouse so that other businesses can sell it as inventory."
"You want to get yourself out? That's a good idea, but I'm afraid it will be easily discovered."
"Just don't admit it. What they need is spirit stones, and all I want is money."
Ji You looked up at Yan Shuyi at this time: "Master Jian has come from afar, and as a friend of Wei Rui's lover, I cannot neglect him. What would you like to eat tonight?"
Yan Shuyi's mouth was pecked, and he looked at him coldly for a long time: "Eat spicy and sour potato shreds."
In the following days, Shengjing City remained peaceful, with occasional new news causing ripples in the calm.
A 300-year-old elder of the Wendao Sect passed away, and countless disciples from outside the mountain returned to the mountain to attend the funeral.
The name of that elder had disappeared from the Qingyun world for a long time, but it did not cause much waves. What caused the waves was another thing, that is, the head of the Shanhai Pavilion decided to let his disciple try to control the holy weapon.
Controlling the holy weapon is not a matter of a day or two. According to past records, it may take five to eight years at the fastest, or ten to twenty years at the slowest.
But even so, it is enough to cause countless discussions.
Because when the disciple personally controls the sacred weapon, it means that the head of Shanhai Pavilion has decided to go into seclusion and ascend to heaven. What they will witness will be the change of another era, which can't help but make people sigh.
As for the Heavenly Academy, there is still no student who can sense the Heavenly Book this year.
This is already the third year. In the third year without any response from the Heavenly Book, rumors such as "The headmaster of the Heavenly Academy is ill" and "There is something wrong with the Heavenly Book" continue to spread.
However, because those students who had sensed the Heavenly Book in the past can still gain enlightenment through it, not many people believe this rumor.
As for Ji You, he has been busy restoring the supply of spirit stones during this period, and has communicated with Qiu Zhong and He Zhang in Fengzhou many times.
The first batch of spirit stones that were planned appeared at the stall of Qionghua Pavilion. The quantity was small and they were soon bought at a high price by a nearby noble family.
Then came the third and fourth batches, which were all bought up by nearby families who heard the news.
Picking it up yourself is actually a very troublesome thing. In addition, the road tax in Fengzhou has been raised, and it is difficult to get the goods that the monsters want. In fact, buying them out at a high price like this is more convenient.
The subsequent sale of spirit stones became more scattered, but the quantity increased a lot. It was said that they had been in stock for a long time, which attracted many cultivators to come and make offers.
During this period, Ji You went to the Sinong Division and inquired about the cultivation of spiritual seedlings. Then he bought various seedlings from the Sun family in Liangzhou at a high price and sent them to Fengzhou.
In addition to these things, he did not forget to practice.
Every morning he would take time out to train his body, igniting the spiritual fire to burn his body as he did before.
There is occasional snowfall in Shengjing, but every time it falls on the mountain, it is melted into gas by the heat, so much so that many people have seen rolling white fog nearby.
Then, after each physical training session, he would rush to sit at the door at 15:30 in the morning.
Yan Shuyi would stroll here at this time every day, and then be "unwillingly" invited back home for dinner by "the friend of Rui'er's sister's lover."
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu also followed suit, and their faces became a lot fatter.
They found out that their brother-in-law really doted on the judge. Even though the judge was so tough, the brother-in-law didn't expose her and let her do whatever she wanted.
If she wanted to be the judge who looked down on the world, she would be the judge who looked down on the world; if she wanted to be greedy, she would be greedy; if she wanted to be tough, she would be tough.
However, Yan Shuyi still insisted on his own personality and would not get fucked if he was not familiar with the person.
However, every time she returned coldly from "Sister Rui'er's lover's friend", she would wash her pants by herself in the room, living up to Ji You's original title of "little water tiger".
However, there are people here who are immersed in their own world and are full of worries.
"Fairy Ding."
"Miss Rui'er, why aren't you sleeping so late?"
"It's almost time to go to bed. Where's my sister Jianzhu?"
In the corridor on a cold night, Wei Rui walked slowly into the corridor. When she met Ding Yao, she couldn't help but ask a question.
Ding Yao heard the voice and said, "Master Jian has gone back to his room to rest. Is there anything wrong?"
"Um... I ran into Master Ji when I was on the street today. Master Ji said he missed his sister."
"?"
Ding Yao looked at Wei Rui with a hint of doubt on her face.
Because they have been with the young master all day today, Wei Rui should not have much time to see him.
Wei Rui was not good at lying, so she avoided his gaze and said, "Well, Sister Ding, please tell me. I'm going to sleep first. There is Tremella soup in the room. If you are hungry, you can ask Zhu'er to get it."
"Okay, thank you Miss Ruier."
"You're welcome……"
Wei Rui walked back to the room along the corridor and sat on the bed, feeling worried.
Her sister-in-law, the master of appraisal, always had a cold look on her face every day. Apart from practicing Taoism and meeting disciples who came to send messages, she would go out for a stroll like a fairy. This really made her see how arrogant the little master of appraisal at Lingjian Mountain was.
The oppressive feeling that came over her was just like the feeling Wei Rui had when she first met her at the Tiandao Conference.
And during these few days, she never mentioned Ji You. That state was really as if she had lost all feelings and love, which made Wei Rui feel that her dream of marrying to Fengzhou with Sister Yan might be shattered.
After a night of anxiety, Wei Rui got up from bed.
From early morning to noon, he had been observing his sister, the judge.
The disciples of Lingjian Mountain came to send another message. After reading the message, her sister's cold and arrogant eyes made her heart beat fast.
It was not until Yan Shuyi dismissed his disciples and asked Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu to go out that Wei Rui finally made up her mind and felt that she could not go on like this.
So she changed her clothes, put on her cotton robe, opened an oil-paper umbrella, went out, and walked along the long street filled with cold air to the Wuliu Shop.
She felt that matters of the heart should be like what was written in vernacular novels, and that it was impossible to cut them off.
She felt that she should start by persuading Ji You to win back Sister Yan, and maybe there would be a chance.
Wei Rui walked to the backyard of Wuliu Trading Company, took a deep breath, and then reached out to push open the cold wooden door. However, as soon as she stepped over the threshold, her eyes were stunned.
Her heartless sister Xiao Jianzhu was currently in the backyard of Wuyou Trading Company, making paper lanterns with Fairy Ding and Fairy Zhuo.
Hanging paper lanterns is a custom of the New Year's Day, and Wei Rui has done it with Kuang Cheng before.
At this time, Yan Shuyi had already tied one of them deftly. After looking at it for a while, he chuckled, and then handed it to Ji You with a proud expression. He showed a hint of pride when he saw the other party giving him a thumbs up.
Seeing this scene, Wei Rui narrowed her eyes.
She suddenly understood why Sister Yan's lips had become increasingly red in the past few days.
Ding Yao saw Wei Rui at this time: "Why is Miss Ruier here?"
"Stop worrying about nothing."
"?"
Wei Rui sat down in front of them, looked at the Lingjian Mountain Master who had not yet recovered from his shock, and said softly, "So I am the only outsider."
Ding Yao glanced at her: "What outsider?"
"My heart is devoted to the way of immortality, without emotion or love."
"You believe it?!"
Ding Yao looked at Wei Rui in astonishment, thinking how could anyone believe my appraiser when his acting skills are so bad.
Wei Rui felt stupid and foolish, with a trace of grievance in her eyes: "You guys teamed up just to deceive me?"
Ding Yao couldn't help but shook her head: "The judge wanted to deceive everyone, even herself, but no one believed it, not even herself, only you believed it."
"So Sister Yan went out for a walk every day these days, actually to see Master Ji?"
"What else? Didn't you notice that Master Jian couldn't sit still as soon as she heard the young master's name? She has been coming home later and later these days."
Yan Shuyi just came back to his senses and turned to look at Wei Rui: "Sister Rui'er is here?"
Wei Rui looked at her with scrutiny: "Sister, you are not familiar with Master Ji, so why did you two secretly come to play with my lover's friends?"
"I met him by chance on the street while I was out strolling."
"?"
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu looked at Wei Rui with a puzzled look on their faces, and whispered to her that this was another trick used by my appraiser.
After hearing this, Wei Rui was bewildered and thought it was very strange that the judge's sister acted like this.
If Master Ji had the same personality as my own Kuang Lang, he might really think that he was being rejected and the two would part forever.
So Zhuo Wanqiu leaned close to her ear and whispered for a long time, and Wei Rui's face instantly turned red.
I understand. It turns out that Sister Jianzhu really wants to shut Master Ji out...
Yan Shuyi was staring at them at this moment. Even without using his spiritual sense to eavesdrop, he could tell what they were buzzing about.
Too big, definitely not...
This was something she confirmed last time in Anyuan City while Ji You was asleep. She felt scared just thinking about it.
In addition, after she fully studied the secret book she bought from the foot of the mountain, she found that many of the postures required her to be at the bottom, which she did not accept.
Besides, if she really gets pregnant, the woman’s maternal instinct will definitely affect her spiritual heart.
The young master of Lingjian Mountain pondered, but he didn't realize that he never resisted giving Ji Yousheng one.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, the sound of a carriage was heard from the back door of Wuyou Trading Company.
Soon, the brother-in-law's shouting came from outside the door.
At this time, Ji You glanced at Yan Shuyi and saw that Xiao Jianzhu had narrowed her eyes in advance. He already knew that his good sister who shared the same quilt with him had come.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu couldn't help but straighten their backs, thinking to themselves, Master Jian, you are afraid of sex, and now someone who is not afraid of sex is here.
As the word "brother-in-law" fell, the door to the backyard was pushed open, and Yuan Chen and Yuan Caiwei walked in.
"Little Master Sister, Brother-in-law, long time no see!"
"Caiwei has met the Master and has met her sister."
