The next day, when Yu Bichu woke up, he found himself covered with a thin quilt, and there was no one beside the pillow.

"Yu Jiao!" He frowned and rubbed his temples.I haven't slept so deeply for a long time, what's the smell in the dormitory?

"Your Majesty." Yu Jiao trotted over upon hearing the sound.

"Didn't you say you don't want to light incense! Where's Ji Yuanren?"

"Young Master Ji has been walking for a while, and he said he was going to see if there is any help in the Dingji Pavilion. He lit this incense before he left, and said that you didn't sleep soundly, so he told the slaves not to disturb you."

"What time is it now?" He lifted the quilt, as if he was going to get up.

"It's not Yinshi yet, you get up now?" Yu Jiao knelt down to put on his shoes.

"I can't sleep, and I just have a few things to deal with." Peng Lie Dao returned to his old ways, and the opening of the port was not enough. He mentioned the land lease issue again and again, and this time he even sent people over.Yu Bichu knew that there were many eyeliners in the court, otherwise the original treaty would not have been half-baked.

The issue of renting land is different from that of ports, and it is natural to refuse, but this time, Xianqi has a hand in it.

Xianqi is a country that is no less prosperous than it was in its heyday...or in other words, a union of many countries. They are a unified political platform to the outside world, but internally they are self-governing as a small country with few people. An unbelievably delicate balance.It is this delicate balance that endows them with indescribable strength.

Yu Bichu sighed, and there was a letter in front of him, which was written by Gu Wenyou.The Gu family has developed in the Penglian Islands for many years, and the relationship between them is deeply rooted. In recent years, they have also infiltrated and developed into Xianqi.In the letter, he provided some information about Xianqi's ruling class and some management and operation mechanisms. Yu Bichu read it several times, and the more he read it, the more headache he got.

In their eyes, Shang Yu's big dish is probably just a small pond fish.

Yu Jiao brought up the breakfast that had just been prepared, and Yu Bi stared at the hot porridge for a while, then asked, "Did Ji Yuan go out after eating?"

"No, Mr. Ji said he wanted to go out for a change."

"Understood, you go out."

……

Ji Yuan, who is willful and wants to change his taste, is wandering on the street. Some early shops have opened one after another, and some are still in preparation. On the lonely street.

There are some scenes that you can't watch for a lifetime if you don't rush the time.For example, when some people are sleeping soundly, another group of people have already got up early and worked late to make ends meet.For example, some people think that people are born to die, but another group of people who don't understand anything are still working hard and living hard.

This is an indistinguishable world, where everyone lives happily or unhappy according to their own trajectories.

People who can figure it out think like this, but those who can't figure it out are always struggling-what is worth it?

Ji Yuan hadn't thought about these problems for a long time. He seemed to be overwhelmed by some troubles, and he couldn't figure out the reason carefully, but it seemed that he had been like this all the time, and he hadn't gotten out.

"Hey, boy suck!"

Hearing someone calling him, Ji Yuan turned around, before facing each other, his habitual smile had already appeared, he blinked, "You called me?"

"Hey, you are the only one on the whole street, come here!" The aunt at the door of the shop waved him vigorously, "Seeing that you have been away for a long time, you just made wontons, how about a bowl?"

Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Okay!"

As he spoke, he walked into the aunt's shop selling wontons, and a down-to-earth smell of oily smoke and steam filled his nostrils. There were a few pits bitten by insects on the pure wooden tables and chairs. A small jar of sauce, vinegar and spicy.

"Wontons will have to wait for a while, why don't you fill your stomach with a bowl of porridge first?" The aunt was very attentive.

"I don't like porridge, do you have steamed buns?" He suddenly remembered the life in the Buddhist hall many years ago.

"The steamed buns are still steaming, can I fill them with soup buns?"

"Okay." He agreed.

A basket of hot soup dumplings was brought up, Ji Yuan took one and ate it slowly, unconsciously lost his mind again.

The enthusiastic aunt sat aside and looked at him. Really, she has been in business for decades, and she has seen people of all kinds, but she has never seen a person who can eat soup dumplings without leaking. Moreover, this young man is dressed in white and looks elegant. Tight, everything gives people a well-bred feeling.

"Young man, what trouble have you encountered?" asked the aunt.

Ji Yuan said "ah" unresponsively, and the aunt lowered her head softly, as if coaxing a child, "Have you had a fight with your family?"

He shook his head, "No."

"Oh, don't be embarrassed," the aunt sat back and leaned her upper body forward, speaking in a casual tone that easily broke people's stubbornness, "There are too many people who come here to complain, and I won't pass it on to you. .”

"Young man, don't pay attention to her slut, come and eat wontons." The boss put down the wontons, patted his wife, and went back to work.

Ji Yuan was stirring the ravioli with a spoon, still thinking about it, when he raised his head, he saw the old couple looking at each other like no one else, looking at how affectionate they were, he couldn't help but relax a little.He asked: "Ma'am, what if someone who treats you well... who says he likes you does something unforgivable to you?"

"You said you couldn't forgive, what else can you do?"

He hesitated, looking a little panicked, "I... I don't know, I just said it was a very serious matter."

"Then it can be forgiven?" The aunt's piercing eyes saw the reluctance in his heart at a glance.

"...I don't know." If you know it, you don't have to know how to face it.

The aunt thought about it, and felt that the child was too serious, so she changed the direction, "Then do you know why he did that serious thing?"

Ji Yuan shook his head, only he and Yu Bichu knew about that matter, but it was impossible for him to ask openly.

The sky was getting brighter, and he didn't say a word, and the aunt couldn't take care of him because there were more and more customers in the store.After finishing a bowl of wontons slowly, he put money on the table and left without a sound.

After the accident last time, Dingjige reorganized a final exam, leaving three people temporarily, which is far from enough for a department with strong demand.Under pressure, they gave a compromise in the end - hold such an assessment test every month, the number of people admitted is uncertain, and the people admitted now need to participate in another test to decide whether to stay or not.

Xu Mu was very dissatisfied with this: "Do it once a month? It hurts to be full! Whoever wants to do it!"

Siri was also very sad. An assessment took at least four or five days, and it took about ten days to prepare. Half a month has passed. Isn't it a waste of time?

The person who sent the message said: "This is just a stopgap measure. With the template for the first time, another person will be in charge of the subsequent exams. The two of you only need to review the results."

Even with such a result, the two were still depressed for a while.

When Ji Yuan came, Siri had already returned to his normal state and was lying on the table to change his new blueprint. Next to him was a young man who was amazed and fascinated.On the other side of the table, old man Xu was hanging from the stool with one leg, and there was a huge iron lump between his legs, which seemed to have been dismantled in half by him, and the fragments and small parts were scattered all over the floor.

"Hey! Is your drawing wrong? I can't connect it here!" This was said to Siri.

Sri was interrupted from thinking, so he simply went over to help him, the two pointed at the blueprint, and said a bunch of things that Ji Yuan didn't understand at all.

He felt that his existence was a little redundant.

"Yo! Xiaoyuan?"

Two people entered the door, one was a newcomer recruited by Dingji Pavilion, and the other...

"Wen You? Why are you here!" Ji Yuan almost didn't recognize him, and there were still few such strange costumes around him.

"Come to deliver something." He patted Ji Yuan's shoulder with both hands, still as thin as ever.

His arrival caught the attention of the two conscientious people.Gu Wenyou also greeted them, "Old man, how is the research on that thing?"

Ji Yuan had never seen Xu Mu so happy, the creases on his face flickered like a big dog in the Peng Islands.

"There is definitely a show! You just wait honestly, kid!"

Gu Wenyou smiled, and pulled Ji Yuan to talk about the past.

"Why do you look unhappy?"

"No..." Ji Yuan drank, making it clear that he was unhappy.

"I heard that you forgot a lot of things." He poured wine for Ji Yuan, with a calm look on his face, "Why are you getting more and more unhappy?"

Ji Yuan looked up at him, "Why should you be happy when you forget something?" Still can't understand this outfit.

"Without the turmoil of the past, it's like a blank new starting point, shouldn't you be happy?"

Ji Yuan drank in a muffled voice. When he first woke up, he really felt no pressure, but when he got in touch with those people who passed by, he felt that he was missing too much.Now, there are some things he doesn't want to know, but he is eager to know all of them. These hesitations are like a deadlock, firmly grasped in his heart, but he dare not look for the thread.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Wenyou pushed his shoulder, "Okay, think about it and worry about it, don't worry about those unpleasant things!"

This is a very strange person. He will persuade people to think about it, but he will not listen to people's suffering and help enlighten him.Ji Yuan glanced at him and saw that Gu Wenyou's eyes were already wrinkled.Time is so fast, what do you get when you close your eyes in a blink of an eye?

"Speaking of which, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Didn't I just say, send something!"

"Just the one for Old Man Xu?" Ji Yuan obviously didn't believe it, "It's so precious that Master Gu needs to go there in person?"

Gu Wenyou laughed, "It's quite precious, so I don't worry if I don't give it to you. But there are other things..."

"Bi Bi told you?" He squinted his eyes, looking drunk.

"You dare to call His Majesty the Emperor's name directly, Mr. Ji is so bold!" Gu Wenyou laughed at him.

Ji Yuan blinked, the emperor... the concept is really not deep in his eyes, the main reason is that he didn't hear Yu Bichu calling himself "zhen", so the sense of dignity and inferiority naturally faded away.

"We're old acquaintances, so it doesn't matter if we call in private." He said face-to-face.

"Heh..." Gu Wenyou has actually been in Yudu for two days. He knows what happened a few days ago. Seeing Ji Yuan's confused look, he didn't want to point it out, so he continued to tease, "Old acquaintance, I I don’t dare, what we do as a businessman is to be cautious, even if we know that we can’t threaten ourselves, we can’t give others excuses about ourselves.” Otherwise, when the truth is revealed to the world, who cares whether your royal relatives or old acquaintances.

"It can't be helped. People like me who grew up in a greenhouse don't understand your difficulties." He pulled out a smiley face, and asked with a look of "speaking quickly": "What's the matter? Tell me something .”

"This is a secret, and you are allowed to listen in." He kept a sense of mystery.

Ji Yuan gave up, "Then when will you enter the palace?"

"It's inconvenient for me to enter the palace, so I want you to send a message to let the emperor come out."

"Is it convenient to leave the palace? I see that he is very busy every day."

Gu Wenyou laughed, "I'm too busy every day, so I'm also talking nonsense with you here."

"I'm not happy to go back!" Ji Yuan was annoyed.

"No, Messenger, send me a letter by the way, I know you won't lose your position to peek, right?"

Holding the letter, Ji Yuan always felt very upset.
