Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang went straight to the third floor and asked for a private room. They sat down next to the window.

Mu Wanjie was a very lively and energetic little fat man. He simply knelt on Qi Younian's knees and lay down on the window and looked out.

Ji Xiaotang sat opposite Qi Younian, and Mu Wanjie's little fat man's noise did not affect the two of them at all.

Looking out from the window on the third floor of the Osmanthus Building, the Zhengzhai Lane seems to be a long river dotted with beauty.

"... It was originally called Old Yi Lane. At that time, the alley was much shorter than now. Most of them were shops selling Old Yi Lane. Later, they became more and more prosperous, and all kinds of shops were available. So they became like this today. I gradually changed it to Juyi Lane..." Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang about the allusion he had specifically asked about.

Ji Xiaotang listened with relish while looking at the scenery.

The servant from the Osmanthus Tower came to serve him diligently.

Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian were not familiar with Guihualou, so they asked Mu Wanjie.

"What do you want to eat, Xiaojie is the decision." Qi Younian said, "Today Uncle Ayou is the host, Xiaojie just order what you and Sister Xiaotang like to eat."

"Really, Uncle Ayou, please order whatever I want, just order as much as I want?" Mu Wanjie said with wide eyes.

Mu Wanjie is the grandson of the Mu family, and he is naturally spoiled by the Mu family. Even so, he is a child after all, and it is never his turn to go out to order food in a restaurant.

"Xiaojie doesn't believe Uncle Ayou's words. Of course, he will follow you." Qi Younian said with a smile, looking at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang smiled but said nothing.

Mu Wanjie is young and is spoiled, but his tutor is excellent. Although Qi Younian said this, he did not really order the dishes according to his wishes, but instead said what he thought was delicious and discussed with Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian.

"The osmanthus duck here is the most delicious..." Mu Wanjie said, obviously the one he liked the most among the dishes he had just mentioned.

Qi Younian naturally followed Mu Wanjie and asked Ji Xiaotang again, and ordered a table of snacks and dishes.

"I can't eat it if I order so much." Ji Xiaotang said.

Ji Xiaotang was actually a little worried about Qi Younian's wallet. Qi Younian is now a deputy, a fifth-rank official, and he received no more and less official salary. However, Ji Xiaotang heard Mu Hong say that Qi Younian was not caring about money, and was generous to others, especially his comrades, and was quite generous.

Even so, Qi Younian was not embarrassed. Although it seemed that Qi Younian's family was average.

"...I haven't eaten it before, I'll try it out which one I like." Qi Younian said, "If there is something delicious, let's buy one more for my aunt and everyone."

Qi Younian thought carefully.￠￡,

Ji Xiaotang just said casually and didn't say much. This time she came to the city and brought enough money. Whether it was Qi You's annual account meeting or her, she didn't need to think too much about it.

"Xiaotang, you are here with your uncle this time. Do you have to pass the provincial examination before going back to Qingyuan?" Qi Younian asked Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang shook his head.

"After passing the college entrance examination, you have to go back, otherwise your family will be worried." This is the result of fighting with Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji.

Both the government and the government examination were held in Fucheng. The former was in April, the latter was in June, and the provincial examination was in August this year. I have been taking the provincial examination before going back. It is also good for Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San, but it is not allowed at home.

Originally, Mrs. Ji wanted Mr. Ji San to go back after passing the examination and wait for the examination.

It was Ji Xiaotang who told Master Ji Er that Master Ji Er would help, and everyone finally convinced Mrs. Ji. The hard work of traveling back and forth in this way not only had an impact on Master Ji San's studies, but also was too laborious.

In the end, everyone won the advantage, that is, they will go back after passing the college entrance examination.

If you take the provincial examination again, come back.

Qi Younian nodded.

"My uncle will definitely pass the college entrance examination, it only depends on how the provincial examination is."

"Why are you so sure?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Oh..." Qi Younian said what he was inadvertently. He was not sure, but hoped that this was the case in his heart. In this way, he could see Ji Xiaotang more often.

"I can see it." As Ji Xiaotang asked this, Qi Younian paused and then said simply. "My uncle must be able to go to high school. The Ji family's books are passed down, so my uncle is naturally not bad."

It seems that Qi Younian has also inquired about the family background of the Ji family.

"I borrow your good words, Ah You." Ji Xiaotang didn't look into it. Of course Mr. Ji San would pass the exam because she knew the exam questions. "In fact, my uncle's knowledge is not very good. It's just that we are divining. This year, my uncle's best benefit is that no matter what he does, there is nothing he can't do."

"Xiaotang believes in divination?" Qi Younian asked.

Did she believe in divination? Ji Xiaotang is hard to say. The ancestors of the Ji family studied the Book of Changes, but those who are good at the Book of Changes do not divine them.

"Did Xiaotang also read the Book of Changes?" Qi Younian was a little surprised.

"Yeah." Ji Xiaotang nodded. She read the Four Books and Five Classics through it. Because she was not under pressure from a woman to take the exam, she also read many miscellaneous scriptures.

"I read it too, but many places are not well-known." Qi Younian said.

Mu Hong once said that Qi Younian was a rare versatile talent in civil and military affairs in the garrison. So Ji Xiaotang didn't find it strange that Qi Younian said that he read the Book of Changes.

"Have you ever asked a sir to teach me?" Ji Xiaotang asked. ()

"When I was a child, I hired Xixi at home and read books for several years. Later, my father said that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles, especially as a warrior. I led troops to fight, and talking about war on paper will make people misleading others and myself, so I have to experience it on the spot." Qi Younian said seriously. Looking at his expression, he seemed to remember his relatives and past events.

"Lingzun's view is good." Ji Xiaotang said, but he was a little surprised. It is really rare for an ordinary military household to say such words and make such arrangements for his son.

But Ji Xiaotang didn't think much about it. Who said that only talents can be found in the temple, and there are also dragons and phoenixes in the countryside.

"My father is very strict in his education." After Qi Younian said this, he seemed unwilling to say more, but asked Ji Xiaotang, "Xiaotang has been studying with his uncle since he was a child?"

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang smiled, "At that time, my father was in office, and he had a lot of free time. He had no other hobbies, so he just taught me like a disciple."

"If you have any questions in the future, you can ask Xiaotang for advice!" Qi Younian said immediately, his eyes bent into two crescent moons again, looking at Ji Xiaotang, obviously waiting to say this.

Ji Xiaotang smiled.

"I dare not take it for advice." Although he said so, he did not reject Qi Younian.

Many years later, when the two of them recalled this and now, they almost didn't remember what they said. What they said was actually not important. They remembered that they were all very happy at this time.

Ji Xiaotang temporarily forgot the things that were weighing on her heart, and Qi Younian also forgot the heavy responsibilities he was carrying at this time.

While tasting the snacks and talking so easily, Ji Xiaotang accidentally took a look out the window.

After seeing this, I settled down.

Qi Younian immediately saw Ji Xiaotang's strange appearance. While looking at Ji Xiaotang's gaze, he asked Ji Xiaotang what was wrong.

"... Did you see an acquaintance?" Qi Younian asked.

He can't be said to be an acquaintance, but he is the person Ji Xiaotang is looking for.

Just opposite the Guihua Building, a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes stood in front of a shop selling sesame cakes not far away. The man was gnawing the sesame cakes he bought, while looking around.

That person is Ma Wu.

Ji Xiaotang had never met Ma Wu, but he remembered the description of Master Ji San.

Qi Younian did not wait for Ji Xiaotang's answer, but his eyes also locked on the middle-aged man. Qi Younian immediately frowned.

"Xiaotang, that's... the Ma Wu you are looking for?" Ji Xiaotang asked Muhong and his son to help find Ma Wu. Obviously Qi Younian also knew about it, and remembered Ma Wu's appearance.

"It looks like it, but I can't be sure." Ji Xiaotang said.

Ma Wu was gnawing on the cake and slowly moving with the crowd, his eyes still looking around.

"Xiaotang, come back." Qi Younian immediately reached out and pulled Ji Xiaotang away from the window. "This person looks like an ordinary good person. You see, he is actually very alert."

Qi Younian is used to seeing bandits, and his judgment on such people is very sharp and accurate.

Even so, this person is probably not Ma Wu.

But Ji Xiaotang couldn't watch this person slip away from her eyes like this. No matter what, arrest the person first.

Ji Xiaotang made up his mind, but unfortunately she only brought these few people around her. The girls were useless, and a few servants...

If the other party is Ma Wu, these servants are not his opponents.

Ji Xiaotang regretted it a little and should have brought Master Li out.

Ji Xiaotang's face changed, and Qi Younian saw it.

"Xiaotang, don't move, I'll catch you." Qi Younian said, then got up and put away his clothes. To see Ji Xiaotang today, he specially wore a black casual dress, but he did not wear a knife.

But Qi Younian is confident that even if he has bare hands, he should be able to deal with a Ma Wu.

"I am from the garrison. After I arrested him and asked, no one could say anything." Qi Younian said to Ji Xiaotang again.

"Ayou, you are the only one. If it is Ma Wu, he will be a desperate person."

"Xiaotang, you underestimate me so much. I have seen too many outlaws. Not to mention that he is the only one, I can handle it even if there are a few more." Qi Younian said, revealing her white teeth and smiled at Ji Xiaotang.

This smile was full of energy and showed the young man's agility and confidence.

Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang not to move, and he didn't walk the stairs himself, so he simply jumped down from the window of the Osmanthus Building.

Changes were born at this time.

Ma Wu suddenly seemed to have found something. He threw the baked cake with one hand and actually ran away. At first, Ji Xiaotang thought that it was him who discovered Qi Younian to be detrimental to him, but Ji Xiaotang soon appeared, and that was not the case.

What Ma Wu wanted to escape was not Qi Younian, but another group of people.

Ji Xiaotang saw only two people, who were originally hiding in the crowd. Seeing Ma Wu suddenly ran away, the two people chased after him. The two people were shaking their hands, obviously holding guys.

This is... Mu Hong's people have discovered Ma Wu, are they chasing Ma Wu?
