Ji Yanzhi gave an ‘um’, and in response, he returned to the stone table in the center of the courtyard under the corridor and continued to look through the bamboo slips.

Ji Yanzhi did not plan to do it again, the young official who copied documents from the Prefect of Luzhou County. It was not a question of low salary, and the unstable back home, he had no intention of doing things at all. After all, when he was at home, Jiao’s mother did just that. When he was not at home, wouldn’t Jiao’s mother behave even more. If he left home regardless of work, wouldn’t Jiao’s mother go to heaven.

Ji Yanzhi shook his head, took out almost half of Jiao Zhongqing's bamboo slips, and took advantage of the fine weather to set up a shelf in the yard to dry.

Liu Lanzhi was weaving cloth in the corridor, holding a shuttle in his hand, and moving like flying, even if sometimes distracted and secretly took a few glances at Ji Yanzhi who was earnestly drying the book, in a short while, he still wove about half a meter of cloth. .

"I heard that the bookstore in the town sells Cai Lun paper." Liu Lanzhi took the shuttle and said with a soft smile: "Wait for a few days to go to the fair, and my concubine will buy some for my husband."

"No, the Cai Lun paper is soft and rough. Sometimes the paper will shatter with a little effort. It's better to use bamboo slips for lettering."

Ji Yanzhi raised his head and glanced at Liu Lanzhi. He wanted to say that he was going to quit his job as a clerical copywriter at the Luzhou County Prefect’s House, but he was afraid that Liu Lanzhi would think about it, so he decided to talk about it in a few days.

However, vetoing Liu Lanzhi’s plan to buy him Cai Lun paper when he went to the fair, Ji Yanzhi began to wonder whether he would quit his job as a clerical clerk in the prefectural office of Luzhou County on the grounds that he wanted to improve Cai Lun paper for the benefit of thousands of students. . You must know the reason for such a lofty reason, which is much higher than the reason for resigning with a mental illness.

After making up his mind, Ji Yanzhi did not tell Liu Lanzhi, but continued to dry the bamboo slips like a baby.

Liu Lanzhi was holding the shuttle and was planning to continue weaving, but unexpectedly, there was a noise in the front yard separated by a wall. After a while, there was movement from the main room where the door was originally closed, but Jiao Mother, who was so angry but had nowhere to go, walked heavily to open the door.

Since Ji Yanzhi and Liu Lanzhi's young couple are getting along quietly, Jiao's mother's disturbance can be heard clearly.

Liu Lanzhi put down the shuttle in her hand, her expression unclear. "Did Sister Luofu come to the door so that my mother is willing to open the door with dignity?"

Ji Yanzhi's expression was cold, and his voice was even more cold. "Morty people who are irrelevant, lest they get upset."

Liu Lanzhi: "The husband said it very true."

"By the way, Laneige went and bolted the gate of the courtyard, lest the cat and dog, who didn't have long eyes, would break in."

Regarding the scheming white lotus, especially this kind of people who want to squeeze the original high-ranking scheming white lotus, Ji Yanyi has always speculated with the greatest maliciousness. And let’s not say that when Jiao Zhongqing was not at home in the past, that scheming Bailian often came to the door in the name of accompany Jiao’s mother to speak and relieve her boredom. Not on a whim to invite Scheming Bai Lian to come to the courtyard where he and Liu Lanzhi live to take a look.

In the ancient times where the folk customs were simple, unsophisticated, and anti-regular, it was emphasized that men and women had different seats at the age of seven. If Luo Fu is really shameless to such an extent, is Luo Fu bad reputation, or he is bad reputation.

Even if he is a big man, he is afraid of being tarnished by his innocence.

"Hit the door?"

Liu Lanzhi was very surprised, and even glanced at Ji Yanzhi several times.

Ji Yanzhi did not urge, but still asked indifferently, "Why? You are allowed to go to the house when you are inexplicable, and you are not allowed to defend your husband? You and your mother are the only ones at home, and she also has them. Talking about the topic. But now for her husband to return home in Xiuning, it is not appropriate for her unmarried young lady to visit again."

——It's not that it's inappropriate, but it's a big one!

Liu Lanzhi understands the meaning of avoiding suspicion in Ji Yan's words, but as a wife, as a daughter-in-law, sometimes it is really not good. Now think about it, the one on the left and right is obedient, especially the meaning of the husband. So Liu Lanzhi smiled softly, got up and fastened the courtyard gate as Ji Yanzhi ordered. Then he sat back at the loom and started weaving.

Ji Yanzhi also leafed through the books quietly. The two did not speak any more, but the atmosphere was full of warmth.

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun that originally hung high above the sky began to fall to the west. Liu Lanzhi stopped weaving and was about to cook in the kitchen, but Ji Yanzhi worked tirelessly to take the dry bamboo slips into the study room after a whole afternoon of drying.

At dinner, they ate together in the front yard.

Luo Fu did not leave, sitting on the side of Jiao's mother, looking like a pair of mother and daughter.

When eating, Ji Yanzhi didn’t look at Na Luofu with his straight eyes, but Na Luofu seemed to be unwilling to be lonely, and he asked Ji Yanzhi how well his mother tongue was. It was locked, which made Luo Fu want to give Liu Lanzhi a taste, but he failed.

Liu Lanzhi lowered her head and sneered. How can I give her a taste, I'm afraid it is to use her as a raft, and want to get close to her husband! When I think about it this way, Liu Lanzhi feels very uncomfortable. They all say that Luo Fu is exquisite and intelligent, and the result is such an exquisite and intelligent knowledge.

Liu Lanzhi now only felt that her husband had ordered her to fasten the gate of the courtyard, otherwise she must be disgusted by this Luofu's work.

Ji Yanzhi: "My mother was born by everyone. Although the family is down, I must have heard the words of the seven-year-old men and women at different seats. On weekdays, my mother asked the little lady Luofu to give Lanzhi cakes and food, but now my son returns to Ningxiu. Mu, if she knocks down the little lady Luofu, won't she damage the reputation of the little lady Luofu?"

Ji Yanzhi's tone is not too heavy or even good, but Luofu just feels uncomfortable, feeling that someone stabbed her with a knife, making her embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"I, I have a good intention." As he said, Luo Fu looked at Jiao's mother with dim eyes, and asked Jiao's mother softly: "Auntie also knows my temper, how can I think so well."

Mother Jiao patted Luo Fu's hand and comforted her: "Who are you, you have been a neighbor for more than ten years, I still don't know. My son is..."

Mother Jiao looked at Ji Yanzhi, but inadvertently met with Ji Yanzhi's cold, murderous eyes. Jiao's mother immediately struck a spirit, no matter how unclear her mind was, she was awakened by Ji Yanzhi's eyes.

Mother Jiao felt in a daze that she had done another stupid thing, pushing her filial filial piety, even stupid filial filial piety, to his son farther. Perhaps it was because she was accustomed to domineering blessings in the past. Suddenly Jiao Mu couldn't think of a good way to remedy it, so she could only comfort Luofu in anguish without thinking too much.

It's just a scheming white lotus, and it's still an ancient version, so I don't think much about it. No, after so much thought, Luo Fu looked at Ji Yanzhi and Liu Lanzhi with a faint expression, except that he did not welcome her, he felt that Jiao’s mother was pretentious and treated her as a cat and dog. Just slip and play.

Luo Fu who thought this way didn't have the face to stay at Jiao's house again. After dinner, he hurriedly left. In the next few days, Luo Fu did not step through Jiao’s door. Ji Yanzhi was a little surprised. He wondered whether this ancient scheming white lotus could compare to the scheming white lotus of later generations. There was only one scheming white lotus for later generations. The thick-skinned makes many people unable to resist, how easy to deal with like the ancient scheming Bailian!

Ji Yanzhi shook his head, and didn't bother to think about Luo Fu, who was not too thick-skinned, whether he would still want to use Jiao's mother and Liu Lanzhi as a raft to reach the door of Jiao's house. Anyway, he was just a stranger, and the reason why he was concerned was only because Jiao Mu and Liu Lanzhi had mentioned her.

Now Jiao's mother is silent, Liu Lanzhi pretends that he doesn't know how to be alone. How can Ji Yanzhi care about a guy who is destined to be a stranger.

When I returned to the courtyard, I looked up at Liu Lanzhi, who was sitting on the loom in the corridor and weaving. Ji Yanzhi pursed his mouth and smiled. As soon as he was about to speak, the sky began to rain drizzle, and the rain was getting heavier, so Liu Lanzhi had to get up and walked back to the main room along the corridor.

Ji Yanzhi's pace was still slow, and he walked through the yard calmly in the rain and stepped onto the high threshold. As soon as he walked into the hall, Liu Lanzhi took a handkerchief and wiped the drops of water on Ji Yanzhi's face. With a set of green shirts, Ji Yanzhi changed into some wet clothes on his body.

"It's raining really densely." Liu Lanzhi also changed clothes, and talked to Ji Yanzhi, who also changed clothes. "Seeing the light rain today, I remembered one thing. In the past, my husband left home before Gu Yu came back. What happened this year?"

"Is it close to Gu Yu?" Ji Yanzhi had forgotten such a thing, he couldn't help but smiled and told him that he had decided to resign. "I worked as a small official in the prefectural mansion. In fact, I didn’t want to reuse it. I was just doing the work of copying paperwork. It was boring and boring. Moreover, I returned home and contracted a strange disease. Thinking about it, it’s better to quit. The work of a small official, and stay at home temporarily to make a living and take a rest for a while."

Liu Lanzhi was stunned just because of Ji Yanzhi's words.

After a long while, Liu Lanzhi recovered and said with some dissatisfaction: "Husband, you are really, how can you hide things like this to your concubine? If your concubine is not going to ask you when you will return to Luzhou's prefectural office today, does your husband want to Keep it from me for a lifetime."

Ji Yanzhi touched his nose and was a little bit sullen: "How can this kind of thing be kept from Lanzhi forever?" When he saw Liu Lanzhi staring at him, Ji Yanzhi simply took Liu Lanzhi's hand, especially shamelessly said. : "I got that kind of strange disease, and I would start it from time to time. If I don't recuperate at home, I rush to work. It's okay if I don't make any mistakes when I am busy. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that both you and your mother will be implicated."
