The Words of the Number One

Chapter 15: evening cloud

Ji Yu took the horse and took me to the villages and towns overnight. When I arrived at the nearest village, I asked a doctor to bandage me and apply medicine. The next morning, I sold the horse and exchanged it for a new horse and some food to set off again. Every time he arrived in a new city, he changed horses again. After three days of tossing around like this, he let go of the horse he bought last and walked with me into the important town of Wu State—Muyun City.

The pursuers did not catch up with us along the way, and Xia Wan and the others were not seen. It seemed that Ji Yu had no intention of joining Xia Wan and the others.

This is a large city in the eastern part of the Wu Kingdom, with well-developed transportation and many business travelers. It can be regarded as the most prosperous city in the Wu Kingdom after the capital city. Ji Yu seemed to be familiar with this place, and walked straight through the crowds in the city to the largest shop near the West Market.

"Go and tell their guys to invite Han Bo to come, there is an old friend waiting for you." He said to me.

I did as he said, and when the guy saw that I was in rags and looked hesitant, he murmured how our Uncle Han had such poor friends, but he still went to report it. But after a while, a hale and hearty old man in gray clothes and white hair raised the curtain and hurried out from the backyard. When he saw me, he saluted: "May I ask you to lead the way."

I took him out and turned a few corners, and Ji Yu was standing in the corner smiling. The old man was stunned for a moment, seeing Ji Yu's coarse linen clothes covered in dust, the eyes of the man over half a hundred were red, and he stepped forward and bowed down in front of Ji Yu.

"My son is suffering."

Ji Yu immediately helped Han Bo up, and said with a smile, "I said earlier that there is no need to do this, let alone call me son, just call me Mr."

Han Bo responded and said, "Sir, follow me quickly."

Along the lane Hamp took us into a house near the shop, and sent us to the best two rooms in the house to freshen and change. Before we left, Ji Yu told me that the owner here is a good friend with him, and that he may want to see me later.

Sure enough, after I changed into fresh clothes, Han Bo knocked on the door and said, "Ma'am, my master is here to invite you."

I sighed when I heard the address, and replied, "Here we come."

On the way here, Bo Han asked Ji Yu who I was, and Ji Yu said without hesitation—she is my wife. Han Bo was very surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions and immediately changed his name to me as Ma'am.

lady? Ji Yu didn't tell me that she was going to be in this play again. It's not easy playing his wife in front of his friends.

I followed the servant's guidance to the courtyard, and the owner of the house was already waiting. Rumor has it that Muyun's largest rice merchant, the owner of Anye Rice Shop, Han Bo's owner, Ye Sichen.

Ji Yulai's friend.

He is an ordinary-looking young man, wearing a blue shirt, but has a good temperament, sitting on a stone bench and inviting me to sit down and drink tea, his gestures are very elegant.

I was still wondering why he wanted to see me alone instead of Ji Yu, but the moment I saw Ye Sichen, I had the answer.

I sat on the stone bench opposite him and asked, "Boss Ye saw me, what do you want to say?"

Ye Sichen turned his head and said with a smile, "I heard that you are Bo Yan's wife. Bo Yan has a bad temper. I want to see what kind of girl would like him."

He thoughtfully poured the tea for me. The tea should be the best, but just pouring it into the cup, the fragrance of the tea overflowed.

"Boss Ye was joking. Bo Yan is famously good-natured, but his heart is not very kind." I said with a smile.

"Not so kind? Then why did you marry him?" He seemed very surprised and raised his eyebrows to look at me.

"It's easy to criticize others, but you must always look at yourself. Not only am I not kind, but I also have a bad temper. Compared with him, he is much better." I dealt with it calmly.

Ye Sichen narrowed his eyes: "Madam is too modest, please elaborate."

"Ji Yu likes to play tricks, for example, pretending to be someone else to deceive me now."

Ye Sichen laughed out loud, he shook his head: "I really can't lie to you."

The moment I saw Ye Sichen, I realized that he was Ji Yu. But in fact, this piece is really exquisitely made, not to mention it fits very well, even if you look carefully, you can't see Ji Yu's shadow.

Ji Yu twisted her fingers and asked, "How did you find out?"

"Your appearance can be changed, your voice can be disguised, but your habits and tone are hard to change." I pointed to his hand: "You like to twirl your fingers when you think about things, and the ending sound is always soft when you speak. Of course, the most suspicious It's still Han Bo's attitude towards you, he is so respectful to Young Master Ji Yu, he doesn't seem like someone who cares about other people."

Ji Yu laughed softly, stood up and bowed to me, and said leisurely, "My wife is really smart, Uncle Han has already prepared some food and drinks, would you like to have dinner with Ye?"

It seems that what I want to play now is Ye Sichen's wife.

"Ye Lang is serious, let's go."

After saying the word Ye Lang, calling an unfamiliar name so affectionately made me feel weird after a while.

The distance between Wu State and Fan State is not too far, and the culture of advocating luxury is in the same line as Fan State. In addition, in the past few years, Wu State has had a bumper harvest year after year, and the country is growing strong, and there are magnificent scenes everywhere. The house is located among a large courtyard, and the decoration is so simple and elegant that it can't help but stand out.

Ji Yu and I walked through the garden in the backyard to the front hall. As we walked, Ji Yu suddenly took my hand, and his slender fingers dug into my fingers one by one. I looked up in surprise and saw a group of Servants walked by and saluted us.

After the servant left, I said, "It seems that Boss Ye and his wife are very affectionate."

"If you want to be convenient and unobtrusive, you have to be the little man next to the big man, and the big man next to the little man. When I was a nobleman, you were my maid. Now I am a commoner, you have to be my wife, and be my wife. My beloved wife will do." He lifted my hand and smiled slightly: "What should I call my beloved wife? I don't know what your real name is?"

I looked at him for a few seconds and replied, "Jiang Jiuqing."

That's right, he never asked me my original name.

Ji Yu repeated the name several times, and then laughed: "Princess Jiu, Jiang Jiuqing, then I will call you Jiujiu, okay?"

Ninety-nine?

Some distant shadows appeared in my eyes. The last time when Qiqi took my hand and called me Jiujiu, it was as far away as the last life.

"As you like." I lowered my eyes and said softly, "What do I need to do?"

Ji Yu shook his head, we walked to the lobby, he led me to sit down in front of a table of good food, sat beside me in full clothes: "Take your time, and heal your injury first. You have been hurt by the bumpy road, and your face is so pale. It looks bad."

I looked up at him, a little surprised.

"I'm fine."

"You have something to do." He said without doubt, and rolled up his sleeves on the other side to serve a bowl of chicken soup.

"Can't you be nicer to yourself and cherish yourself? It's not a bad thing to be coquettish sometimes, let alone now you have me." He brought me the chicken soup, obviously an ordinary face, when he smiled But it still makes people feel like spring breeze.

"You are my wife, and taking care of you is my top priority. It would be great if I could gain a few more catties."

You are my wife and taking care of you is my top priority.

I looked at him, took the bowl of chicken soup and let it cool down. The chicken soup was added with mushrooms and Chuanxiong, and it tasted very delicious. This kind of chicken soup cannot be stewed for several hours. We just came here, so we must have ordered it from the restaurant.

Did he prepare it specially? He... entered the scene very quickly.

I said slowly, "Thank you Ye Lang."

Ji Yu couldn't help laughing, he approached me and said softly, "If you are so polite again, it will appear that I married you by force, or that I love you wishfully."

I looked at the maids and servants standing on both sides of the lobby, so I picked up a spoon and filled a bowl full of chicken soup and handed it to Ji Yu.

"This soup is very delicious, Ye Lang will also try it."

Still smiling, he just took the soup bowl and stirred it gently with a spoon. After I finished my bowl of chicken soup, he pushed his undrinked bowl of chicken soup over to me.

"Seeing that you are afraid of being hot, this bowl has just been warmed up after drying, so drink it quickly."

I looked at him, and he smiled at me and said softly, "I'm more afraid of being hot, so I'll drink it later."

In the end, almost all of the pot of chicken soup went into my stomach. He deboned me to remove the meat and blew the hot and cold soup, as if he was enjoying it.

This person acted tenderly, really extremely gentle.

Ji Yu received Xia Wan's letter from Feige soon after Mu Yun settled down. It was not a big deal that some people were slightly injured in that attack. Now Xia Wan has taken them to Zhao country. My friend, Mr. Bai Wu, rested here.

The news on the surface is that Mr. Ji Yu has disappeared.

The news of Ji Yu persuading Fan Jun to send troops to save the country of Yu will soon spread, and all eyes of the world will be on him, waiting for his next move. At this juncture, he disappeared, or he disappeared at the junction of Wu and Zhao. How many people would believe that Ji Yu really disappeared?

Perhaps Wu Guo was worried that Ji Yu would secretly go to Zhao Guo to instigate rebellion, and Zhao Guo was worried that Ji Yu would secretly go to Wu Guo to mediate, and the two leaders would toss and turn. Before Ji Yu even did anything, she had already turned herself into a fishbone, which made them feel like a stick in their throats, and their hearts were at odds.

Speaking of being assassinated this time, Nan Su said that Mr. Ji Yu often encounters assassins or robs, and he wants to teach me how to defend myself, but I haven't had time to learn it yet. I told Ji Yu about it.

"Although Nan Su doesn't talk much, she has a good temper. If she takes the initiative to teach you martial arts, she recognizes you. But now that you are my wife, if you want you to protect yourself, wouldn't I be too incompetent?" Ji There is a sly smile between Yu's eyes.

I looked at him and replied: "Although we are husband and wife, you can't protect me all the time."

"I can." He replied simply.

I was silent, and said: "...then there is trouble."

This is a game he likes recently. During our conversation, he suddenly changed from Ji Yu's position to Ye Sichen's tone to appreciate the situation where I was choking. He seemed to think this situation was very funny, and whenever I was speechless, he would show a sincere smile.

As Ye Sichen, the image of his beloved wife is indeed very successful. He returned to Muyun, these days the best medicinal materials and supplements in Muyun City were sent to the mansion like a stream, saying that Mrs. Ye's wife fell ill and was in a hurry, so Boss Ye took care of his wife regardless of the cost.

Boss Ye has been away in business for a long time and has not returned for a long time. After finally returning to Muyun City, he had many entertainments, but he always came back home on time in a hurry, saying that he promised to accompany his wife to have dinner every day. Not to mention the fabrics from the silk and satin shop, the powder from the rouge shop, and the hairpins from the jewelry shop, Boss Ye personally helped his wife choose them.

For a moment, everyone in Muyun, from the nobles to the traffickers and pawns, knew that Boss Ye, who recently came back from Anye Mipu in Muyun City, was a wife-loving man.

In this way, the whole Mu Yun knew Ye Sichen's name.

On the seventh day after coming to Muyun, Mrs. Ye's wife—that is, I finally healed my injury and went out for a walk. Going out under the prestige has become a burden. Fortunately, Wu Guomin is conservative. Married women must wear white gauze half-covered when they go out of the house, which relieves a lot of embarrassment.

Fang Ma, who took care of me in Ye Zhai, took me to the largest teahouse in the area. When I stepped into the teahouse, 70% of the guests were already seated. Fang Ma quickly communicated with Xiao Er and arranged for me the vacant seat closest to the table. .

When I sat down, Mother Fang whispered in my ear: "The one on the front left of Ma'am is General Yang's wife. She is a regular visitor here."

When I looked up, the lady looked like she was in her early thirties, half of her face was covered with a white gauze, but the exposed eyes were still heroic. She was wearing a blue cotton dress, leaning on the back of the chair and listening intently to the storyteller on stage.

The seat she was sitting in was the best seat in the lobby, most likely reserved for her.

While I was thinking about it, I drank a sip of tea, and the storyteller said loudly not far away: "The last reply said that Mr. Ji Yu was a hostage in the country of Yan..."

I was so choked that I started to cough, and Mother Fang let me breathe, and said, "Madam, drink slowly."

"Master Ji Yu?"

"Yeah, this is the most pleasing storytelling joke nowadays."
