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

Today is no exception.

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

He was very familiar with the road, and he didn't need to be brought by anyone else. He came back directly from the back door, because the front door was too far, and Zuo An and the others were usually working in 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 hang clothes. Kang Ming and Min Yan both injured their backs, so they didn't go there because they couldn't lift their hands.

Hearing a knock on the door at this moment, Kang Ming walked over to Min Yan to protect him.

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

" When I got to the wall where I could take it, I opened the back door.

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

Ji Yuebai didn't enter the room 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 about yesterday's events just now. At this moment, when he entered the door and saw a strange man, Ji Yuebai was stunned.

who is this? The village seems to have never seen such a person.

Are you here to talk business? But why don't you see An An and them? There is no reason for the guests to open the door.

Could it be a burglar in the house? !

Ji Yuebai froze for a moment, feeling that he might be the truth.

Yin Peinan's house had also entered a thief before, and he had heard Zuo An and the others say it before. Zuo An and his family are now well-known rich people in this area, and there is no doubt that someone will come to steal things.

What about An An and the others? Are they not at home? Is there something wrong? No one is seen, is he tied up?

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

Then, he heard the man in front of him say: "Hello. Ange'er and Auntie went to the front yard to hang clothes."

"...Oh." Ji Yuebai felt that the more he looked at him, the more suspicious he became. Look, this tall man looks very nervous, especially those eyes, which are vigilant. I haven't seen it in the village before, and the accent is different. It's not An An or my aunt who came to open the door...

All signs show that this is very wrong. He didn't dare to enter the house, and took back the right foot he stepped into the house.

What about them? I didn't hear the sound, was it really tied up?

As soon as this thought came out, Ji Yuebai felt a little nervous and worried about Zuo An and the others' safety.

He craned his neck to look inside the house, but from here he could only see the well and the basin 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 Brother Bo, I'm back! Just make a sound when you're here!"

Kang Ming was wrinkled by his loud voice Frowning, he opened the door a little more, and said, "They are here, come in."

The door opened wide, and Ji Yuebai saw Qiandan on the wall. My darling, weapon, I'm afraid I won't be knocked out immediately if I go in!

"...Uh, I, I'm still, just wait. Haha, I'm not in a hurry..." If you want me to enter, you will stun me when you enter? no way!

Ji Yuebai was so nervous that he swallowed again, looked to the side, and shouted again, "An An! Auntie! Are you here? Speak up!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw another man from the stove The room came over.

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. Usually, few people pass by here, unless they go to the mountains.

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

Ji Yuebai seemed to have seen a savior.

He turned around and ran, throwing away the pheasants and wild rabbits in his hands, and shouting as he ran, "Uncle Daqiang! Help, Yin Peinan's house has been burglarized! An An was caught by them!"

"...Hey, you Misunderstanding..." Kang Ming was stunned, his hand stretched out, but Ji Yuebai had already run away. Then he saw that the pheasant and the wild rabbit outside the door were jumping away, and he brought them back and placed them by the wall.

Min Yan: "..." It was the first time in his life that he was treated as a thief.

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

Min Yan said, "...No, let's play."

Over there, Uncle Daqiang and his son went to the mountains to inspect traps, cages, etc., collected the prey, and came back with a load of firewood. When they heard there was a thief, the two threw the firewood and prey on the ground, took out the hatchet and Qiandan, and ran over.

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

three of them 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 a wooden basin.

Zuo An looked at them with a hatchet and Qiandan, his face was very anxious, and he asked in confusion, "Uncle Daqiang? Brother Bo, what's wrong? I just heard that there are thieves, where is the thief?"

Ji Yuebai was stunned . Well, he looked at Zuo An and Zhao Xiu'e, then looked at the two suspicious men standing beside them, pointed his finger, and said, "Uh, you, they, aren't they thieves?"

Zuo An looked at Min Yan and Kang Ming 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. It's over."

Zuo An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied, "Auntie and I finished drying the clothes, and Auntie Xiu opened the front door to look for us, and we chatted at the door for a while. We also heard a voice from the back of the house, but didn't listen. What the hell was Qing shouting, I only heard there was a thief, so I'll go back and watch."

Ji Yuebai: "..."

"Well, that's my misunderstanding, and you shouldn't be me, I thought you had an accident. What." After speaking, Ji Yuebai scratched his head, and said to Min Yan and Kang Ming embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Min Yan chuckled and shook his head, and said, "It's okay, there was a misunderstanding."

Ji Yuebai He complained to Zuo An again: "Hey, it's not good for this house to be too big. I shouted so loudly at the back door, you can't hear at the front door!"

Zuo An smiled and said: "You, how dare a thief dare to open the door for you, and in broad daylight, we didn't hear our dog barking."

Ji Yuebai was stunned: "Yes, I just said that it seems a little bit. Something's wrong, so I didn't hear the dog barking. Oh, no, the dog may also be drugged or something..."

"Yes, you're right." Zuo An patted him and said, "Brother Bo, thank you. You are so worried about us. Thank you." The

misunderstanding was resolved, and several people were dumbfounded.

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

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

Min Yan naturally didn't care about him, and said, "It's okay. You two are in such a good relationship."

Ji Yuebai smiled and said, "That's right, we are like brothers."

With more Ji Yuebai, the family was 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, there will be no shortage of conversations.

Several people chatted while busy

preparing lunch.

Ji Yuebai said while plucking the chicken feathers: "Hey, by the way, An An, Mr. Guo sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he will come in two days. Isn't it about to be harvested? He said that he would like to see the rice, and he still We need to discuss the promotion of grain seeds after the summer harvest."

Zuo An replied: "Oh, yes, you can tell him that we are all at home, and he can come whenever he wants. We are about to start working on grain seeds. Woke up."

When Min Yan heard the words, he was in the process of choosing dishes and almost forgot, Guo Yi is now doing errands here. He glanced at Kang Ming.

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

Zuo An straightened up when he heard the words, thinking of Min Yan and the others.

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

Ji Yuebai looked at Min Yan and the others curiously after hearing this. What does Mr. Guo Yi have to do with Brother Yan and the others? He looked at them curiously.

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

Zuo An replied, "This is not necessarily true. Sometimes he comes down alone, and sometimes the clerk from another household will come down together. The clerk is Ding Xiao, the eldest son of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry. Sometimes our county magistrate, Mr. Liu, will come down with the master book."

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

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

Min Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not good to delay Mr. Guo's errand. It's just that he needs to be invited to come alone."

Since he is like this After saying that, Zuo An nodded and said, "That's fine. Brother Bo, I'll write a letter later, can you help me bring it to Master Guo?"

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 came here every day, so Zuo An told him about Min Yan and told him: "It should be a big man, remember not to say it, they will leave in a few days."

Ji Yuebai stretched out his hand and pulled it over his mouth After a moment, he said that he was tight-lipped, and said, "I understand, don't worry."

Zuo An added: "If there are foreign merchants coming to wholesale these days, remember not to bring them into the house, but go directly to the melon land."

Ji Yuebai: " Good."

For the next two days, Min Yan and the other three did not go out, so they rested at home to recover from their injuries.

Min Yan also learned to make yuba from Zhao Xiu'e out of curiosity. At night, he 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, and especially likes to run around the yard with the dog with Ning Ge'er and the others, laughing, very happy.

Getting along fairly well.

Because of Min Yan and the others, Yin Peinan didn't go to the melon field to keep vigil at night, just in case, because if something happened, he couldn't come back, so he asked Uncle Da Qiang to help him watch for a few days.

It was also during the past two days that Yin Peinan and the others discovered that Min Yan and the others would receive a biography from flying pigeons every night.

Yin Peinan and Zuo An also didn't know, but judging from Min Yan's expressions, they were relieved a lot, and they guessed that things should go well.

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

He was still wondering why Zuo An had written to him this time, saying that he should go there alone. But it didn't matter if he was alone, he came in Ji Yuebai's carriage, and he didn't even need to bring the coachman.

The carriage soon arrived at Yin Peinan's house and went straight to the back door. Because they are here to pack watermelons, the time is still very early, and the sun has just come out.

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

Ji Yuebai also got off the carriage

and replied, "Don't be polite, Mr. Guo. It's 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. Brother Bo can still eat some more, I think you probably didn't eat it in the morning. "

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

"Come here!" Yin Peinan came out with a bun and opened the door. He opened the door and said, "Mr. Guo, it's early. Have you eaten yet? We are eating, let's eat together."

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

Guo Yi said, "I have eaten. Let's eat."

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

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

"Emperor..."

"Brother Bai, are you here?" Min Yan quickly 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. Eat Have you had breakfast yet?"

Ji Yuebai and Yin Peinan looked a little strange when they looked at them, but from the look of Lord Guo Yi, they should have known each other.

Guo Yi's surprised expression was still on his face. He didn't know why these two were here, but he understood the look in his eyes just now.

He clasped his fists and saluted, because he didn't know what identity he was showing, 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 what this guy's plan was, so he just nodded: "I know."

Min Yan smiled and said, "My father and Master Guo are colleagues, see you. It 's been a few times."

Guo Yi nodded and said respectfully, "Yes."

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

Ji Yuebai reacted and said, "Yes, yes, I'm starving to death. I'm going to have breakfast. Brother Yan, have you eaten yet?" Min

Yan nodded: "We're done, and we're going to wash our hands."

"Then you guys ." Let's go, Yin Peinan, let's go in for dinner."

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

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

Guo Yi quickly followed.

Entering the room, Guo Yi knelt down with a thud and gave a big gift: "Wei minister see the empress, the sixth prince."

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

"Thank you, Empress." Guo Yi sat on the chair beside him and asked, "Why are the 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, long story short. It was a secret that Ben Gong took Cong'er to travel this time. A few days ago, we encountered assassins in Wei County, on the border of Qingzhou and Kangzhou. After the guards broke up, I I brought Cong'er here. There was a heavy rain two days ago and an accident happened, and was rescued by Yin Peinan's family. They don't know our identity, so don't tell them to scare them."

Guo Yi heard that they met The assassin, hurriedly said: "Ms. Niang, do you know who the assassins are? Wei County is only three days away from here, and it is not safe to have no guards here. Niang Niang, Wei Chen will go back immediately, and bring someone to protect Niang Niang and His Highness to the county office, and then find a way to send them back. Empress is returning to the palace..."

"Wait." Min Yan interrupted him and said, "No, we are here, this is the safest place. The assassins have already been dealt with, you don't need to worry. Now, this palace wants you Help this palace with one thing."

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

Min Yan took out a letter from his bosom, ordered and instructed to read it, and finally said: "...Master Guo, now We are safe. I happened to be in this Nanpo Village. I like this family very much

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

Guo Yi also wanted to convince Min Yan to return to the palace: "My lady. , it's not safe for you and His Highness to be outside like this, so it's better to be escorted by Wei Chen..."

"No need to say more, let's go."

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