Chapter 18: Childe Ji Yu

The Golden Jade Building in the southwest corner of Jiankang Castle is the largest small building in Kyoto. The inside is extremely extravagant, the floor tiles are made of white marble, each piece is carved with gold powder and the lotus flower, the eating and drinking utensils are all silverware, the private room is even more, the room is equipped with a night pearl, bright and transparent.

Fu Heng has been very busy in the past two days, and Shen Chuchu didn't ask much, she knew in her heart that Fu Heng was going to accompany Anayue. Obviously, he planned to draw a line with Fu Heng in the future, but Shen Chuchu still couldn't help but be upset.

It just so happened that Zhao Xiyue came to ask her to go to the Golden Jade Tower on this day, and Shen Chuchu nodded and agreed after thinking about it. Why can Fu Heng go out to accompany the princess, but she can't go out and be happy?

"You're right!"

On the carriage, Zhao Xiyue patted the table, "Let's be merry and happy, what do we do with those stinky men?" Knowing the news of your death, Ji Yu may not be sad. ”

Shen Chuchu raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

Ji Yu is the head of Jinyulou and the shopkeeper of Jinyulou, and he usually doesn't come out to pick up guests, but Zhao Xiyue and Shen Chuchu have noble status, and every time they come here, Ji Yu will accompany them. It stands to reason that Zhao Xiyue's status is higher, but Ji Yu is more attentive to Shen Chuchu. Zhao Xiyue often teased, saying that Shen Chuchu would take Zhao Xiyue back to be the first face.

The carriage stopped at the door of the Golden Jade Building, and immediately a small servant came to greet him. Zhao Xiyue has always been here, and everyone here basically knows each other.

"Yo, the Ninth Princess hasn't come for a while. After a pause, the little guy glanced at Shen Chuchu, "This noble man is a student, it's the first time you're here?"

"Her surname is Jiang, my friend. ”

"The two nobles, please, the private room is still there. ”

The two walked in, and someone at the door had a special sign. If it is an individual customer, if you just drink in the hall, you will only receive a wooden sign, and if you order a child, you will receive a silver sign.

Zhao Xiyue walked over and knocked on the table, "Gold medal." ”

The little guy lowered his head and was remembering something, and when he heard the sound, he frowned and looked up, "We don't take it...... Nine Princesses?"

Zhao Xiyue raised her eyebrows, "Is Ji Yu here?"

"Childe is here, I'll call him, are you still in the old room?"

Zhao Xiyue nodded.

This private room was often visited by Zhao Xiyue and Shen Chuchu before, and later Ji Yu left it for the two of them.

It was winter, and there were silver carbon basins in the four corners of the house, with pine wood on them, and a fresh fragrance spread, and the house was warm and warm. Shen Chuchu took off his cloak, and inside was a pale cyan gown, and the neckline was embroidered with dark patterns of flowers and plants.

The two of them had just sat down for a moment when they heard a creaking of the door.

Through the layers of hanging white veil, I vaguely saw a person walking slowly with a guqin in his arms, stepping on clogs under his feet, and making a crisp sound with every step. The man put down the harp and hung the white yarn with a silver hook, so that he could see his face clearly.

He was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, and the long belt around his waist was loosely tied. Men rarely wear red and green, but they wear them on him, as if the fairy in the painting has come out.

The face is as white as jade, the eyes are dark, a pair of narrow eyes are squinted, a little tear mole under the eyes is particularly attractive, thin lips are lightly pursed, and the two of them are slightly raised, and the voice is like a bluestone landing, crisp and faint.

"Long time no see, Ninth Princess. ”

Zhao Xiyue sighed, "The world is willing to exchange a daughter for a son." But if you really see Ji Yu, you will know that gold and silver are vulgar things, and you have to have the stars and bright moon in the sky to be worthy of Ji Yu. ”

Ji Yu hooked the corners of his lips, "I am a layman, not a heavenly immortal." The words of the ninth princess made me ashamed. ”

He raised his hand and picked at the strings, his knobly fingers gently plucked, as if trying to make a sound.

"I haven't heard Ji Yu stroke the piano for a long time, and since Chu Chu's death, I ......"

"Smack. ”

The strings snapped violently, leaving a red mark on Ji Yu's white knuckles.

Zhao Xiyue was stunned for a moment, Ji Yuqin's skills are superb, unparalleled in the country, for so many years, I have never seen him break the strings.

"I haven't touched the piano for a long time, and my skills are rusty, and the princess laughs. ”

Zhao Xiyue sighed, "I know you are sad for Chu Chu, but it's been so long, and people who are alive have to continue to live." By the way, I brought a friend with me today. ”

As she spoke, she touched Shen Chuchu.

Shen Chuchu smiled, raised his hand and poured a glass of wine, "Respect Gongzi." ”

Ji Yu glanced at her slightly, "I heard from the little maid, is this Miss Jiang? Is this Miss Jiang who lives in the General's Mansion?"

"Jiang Chu. Shen Chuchu nodded.

As he was talking, there was a cacophony outside. A little guy pushed the door in a panic and came in, "Ji Gongzi." ”

Ji Yu frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

"The Overseer is coming, and he ......"

Before the little guy finished speaking, a man in a dark coat walked in, he was wearing a black fox coat, a golden crown on his head, and a little anger on his face.

He glanced at Shen Chuchu and bowed slightly, "Your Highness should go back to the palace." ”

Zhao Xiyue almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine.

Huo Chen: Isn't he going to the capital tomorrow?

Obviously the intelligence was wrong, Zhao Xiyue gritted her teeth and said a little unwillingly, "But I just came to ......"

"Your Highness. Huo Chen slightly accentuated his tone, "It's time to go back to the palace." ”

Knowing that Huo Chen was angry, Zhao Xiyue reluctantly stood up, walked towards Huo Chen, and muttered in a low voice, "I really just came." ”

Huo Chen took off the big gadgets on his body and draped it on Zhao Xiyue, his tone was a little softer, and he coaxed in a low voice, "The minister brought some gadgets and sent them to His Highness's palace, Your Highness will go back and take a look." ”

Zhao Xiyue followed Huo Chen and walked two steps, remembering something, paused for two steps, and looked back at Shen Chuchu, "Then I'll go back first." ”

Shen Chuchu nodded.

Huo Chen's eyes darkened slightly, and he glanced at Shen Chuchu deeply with his head sideways before following Zhao Xiyue out of the private room.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Shen Chuchu coughed slightly, "Since the nine princesses are gone, then I will ...... too."

"Miss Jiang. Ji Yu suddenly said lightly, "It's the first time I've seen Miss Jiang, but I feel familiar, like I've seen an old friend." ”

Shen Chuchu paused, "Does Childe say that to every girl?"

"I've only told Miss Jiang alone. Ji Yu raised his eyes slightly, "Foxes will hide their tails, Miss Jiang should pay attention." ”

Shen Chuchu's face was cold.

"I don't understand what Childe means. ”

"You'll understand. It's not too early, Miss Jiang will go back. ”

Shen Chuchu glanced at Ji Yu deeply, turned around and left. She used to think that Ji Yu was an old friend to her, but today she realized that she never really knew Ji Yu.

After everyone left, the room fell silent. A moment later, someone pushed the door in and saluted Ji Yu.

"Childe. ”

"Ziyu, do you say that there are really ghosts in this world?"

Ziyu frowned, "Childe, you know, I don't believe in this. ”

Ji Yu hooked the corners of his lips and smiled.

"The ninth princess has a bad temper, but she can become friends with Jiang Chu and bring her to me, you say, isn't this strange?"

Ziyu was stunned for a moment, "What does Childe mean?"

"Xu is an old man. ”
