Chu Yunxi held the sword and slowly groped for the side of the door, removed the lock on the door, dodged and rushed out of the gate, and stabbed at the black back in the alley. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The sword light flashed, and the man Huo Ran turned around and slid back, his fingers curled slightly, and he flicked heavily into the sword. The sword body is hard, and it will change direction when hit by external forces, but this sword is extraordinary, the sword body is as flexible as a steel wire, and under a flick, the sword body bends along the force, and directly wraps around his arm like a snake, and the clothes on his shoulder are immediately cut open.

Shi Jiaheng was stunned and said with a smile: "It's me." ”

Chu Yunxi was surprised and relaxed, and the soft sword bloomed from his arm like a petal. Seeing that he was wearing a dark robe, hidden in the dark, it was really difficult to distinguish, and he couldn't help but complain with concern: "I asked you just now, why didn't you answer?" If you accidentally get hurt, what if you get hurt. ”

"Oh, I saw a white cat jumping down from the treetops on the other side of your yard, and I watched and didn't hear it." Shi Jiaheng explained with a smile.

Chu Yunxi walked up to him with a sword and turned over the torn clothes on his shoulders: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the clothes are torn, and they didn't hurt the flesh and skin, let's go, you take it off and I'll make it up for you." ”

The two walked side by side, Shi Jiaheng looked at the sword in her hand, and couldn't help but praise: "What kind of sword are you holding in your hand, its body is so soft and unprecedented, can you lend me a look?" ”

In order to avoid Chu Yunxi's attacking sword, Shi Jiaheng easily put the things he brought on the wall. He would almost always send a bunch of things every time he came, and she politely asked him not to break the bank before, but she couldn't stop his enthusiasm, and then she simply didn't mention it, just made some good dishes to greet him. Moreover, if they had not had his help to live in this imperial capital and only rely on her meager salary, they would probably not be able to escape poverty. She can't let Lu Yan and the three of them suffer together. And their savings back and forth to Chang'an have long been exhausted, and now they are really shy in their pockets, so they have to accept his good intentions.

Chu Yunxi picked up the things for him, handed him the sword, and introduced as he walked: "This sword is called 'Acacia' and is my uncle's beloved thing, and it was passed down to me when I was twelve years old. ”

Shi Jiaheng held the hilt of the sword, and lightly gestured a few times in the air, although this sword can be bent as you like, but it is not easy to control, you have to use the strength of the wrist to penetrate the sword body to dance, but this sword is better than dexterity and lightness, especially to deal with the knife and axe that slashes and splits, you can go straight into the gap to pick people's wrists. It is perfect for women.

When Lu Yan and Bi Yin saw that he was coming, they happily welcomed him inside. Lu Yan was happy, because she carried the entrustment of her wife, and she was ecstatic when anyone or opportunity appeared that could give happiness to Miss. Biyin was happy, purely because she saw the food in Chu Yunxi's hand. Qing Chun is also happy, but she is not as exaggerated as the two of them, she is always indifferent when she encounters things like Chu Yunxi, and rarely shows emotional fluctuations outwardly.

Shi Jiaheng did not disappoint Biyin, and bought pastries, candies, candied fruits, newly released buns in the July Building, etc., in short, they are all what she likes to eat, and of course Chu Yunxi loves to eat. In addition to these regular gifts, she also found a special brocade bag.

She shook off the cloth bag and looked at it, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! It's such a beautiful material. ”

She laughed and pulled the cloth and wrapped it around her. Lu Yan and Qing Ulva came up to watch, and Qing Ulva cariously rubbed the patterns on the cloth.

Lu Yan looked at Biyin's appearance of being neither big nor small, pushed her, glanced at Chu Yunxi, and said in a low voice: "Why are you so ignorant." ”

Biyin stuck out her tongue and helped Lu Yan fold the cloth.

Shi Jiaheng waved his hand generously and smiled: "It was bought for you." ”

Biyin clapped her hands and cheered, she pulled the two of them and said in unison: "Thank you, Shi Gongzi." ”

Shi Jiaheng smiled at the three of them, then took out another neat cloth bag from his arms, and solemnly handed it to Chu Yunxi and said, "This is for you, I don't know if you like it or not." ”

Her cheeks were slightly red, but fortunately the three of them were carrying the cloth behind their backs, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing. She opened the cloth bag, and inside it was a roll of frost-colored jacquard silk, and the corner of the cloth was embroidered with Chen's mark. She was shocked to remember that this was the cloth from the Chen Family Silk Village that she had also planned to buy, and hung her head in a panic.

Shi Jiaheng's voice sounded low in his ears: "Now all the women in Chang'an City wear this, I think about you...... You'll love it too. He was afraid that he would surprise her, so he paused and added the word "we".

She held the cloth in her hand, and wanted to hide in it, and said in a shy voice, "I can't wear it again." ”

Shi Jiaheng smiled frankly: "It's okay, you can use this cloth to make a men's outfit, or make a woman's outfit to wear at home." ”

Chu Yunxi panicked and didn't know what to say. Lu Yan was busy at this time and said: "Miss, you can do it in the house, the three of us will cook, and we will call you when the meal is ready." ”

She turned her head, "Huh? He was stunned, and when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the tear on the shoulder of his clothes, and rushed out like a tree in a long drought that had rained in time: "Yes, let's go into the house." I'll mend your clothes. ”

Shi Jiaheng followed her into the house, Chu Yunxi took off the hat on his head and hung it on the wall, lit an oil lamp and put it on the table. The two sat across the table, opposite each other, his robe taken off and handed to her, while she lowered her head and threaded and twisted threads across from her.

She wore the man's hair in a bun, revealing the small outlines of her ears. She turned the left side of her face to the candle flame, her head slightly sideways, her hair crooked to the side, and the oily candle light was facing her left ear, and the candlelight passed through her thin ear, illuminating the bright red blood inside, like a small red light that shone brightly. When he happened to catch a glimpse of the tiny fluff on her ears, he suddenly felt a tightness in his throat and a slight spicy cheek, and quickly lowered his head.

He sat upright with his hands on his knees, too awkward, and put his hands back on the table. The hand is solved, but the eyes don't know where to go, staring at the other party seems to be impolite, but the eyes are random and frivolous. He moved the light closer to her right, and watched as the red candle was roasted by the scorching flames, leaving behind candle tears, as if the blood on a human body was flowing little by little. He remembered the original purpose of coming here, and gently raised his eyes and persuaded: "You have to mourn, don't be too sad." ”

Chu Yunxi glanced up at him, then lowered his head and said, "Actually, I have never seen my grandmother who died. ”

Shi Jiaheng crossed her hands, stared down at the desktop, and nodded: "Yes, I heard that after your grandfather died, she saw through Hongchen and became a monk in a nunnery in her hometown Jinling, and she couldn't even invite her when the prime minister got married." ”

"After my grandfather died, she just led the practice, and the real reason why she was determined to become a monk was actually my uncle who died in battle. She couldn't accept the grief of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man. ”

She corrected. Then he continued to add: "If you calculate it carefully, she should be my grandmother, not my grandmother, she is my uncle's mother, the main family of the Chu family, not the prime minister's mother, our branch is a concubine, and I am even more concubine." ”

She laughed to herself. "If it weren't for the death of my uncle in battle, the prime minister would not have had a chance to inherit the title of the Chu family."

"It's a pity that I didn't see her until she died. It would have been visible. My mother mentioned to me that my parents had taken me and my second sister back to our hometown in Jinling to visit relatives when I was full moon. The second sister had a rash on the road and infected me, so I didn't go to see it. But at that time, Li Tan, the king of Jinling, came to visit, and my second sister had seen him, and he was not yet ten years old. When I grew up, I asked my second sister what he looked like, and she said that she didn't remember it when she was young. Chu Yunxi said regretfully.

Shi Jiaheng stared at his fingers and was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "You know this is a good opportunity." ”

She shook her hand, and both of them looked up at the same time, their faces becoming serious.

Chu Yunxi shook his head and said, "I don't think so, it is still unknown whether the prime minister will leave Chang'an." ”

Shi Jiaheng replied firmly: "He will definitely go." When parents die, children should observe filial piety for three years, even the ministers of the DPRK and China, this is the rule set by the ancestors. ”

Chu Yunxi disagreed: "[Ancient Chinese etiquette, officials should abandon the official family system when they are bereaved by their parents, and they are called "Ding Wei". After the completion of the service, the replacement will be carried out. At the end of the minister's funeral, the imperial court summoned him to take office, or ordered him not to abandon his official position, not to wear official clothes, to govern affairs, not to celebrate in advance, and to perform sacrifices and banquets by Zuo Er, which is called "seizing affection". It is an extension of the ancient Chinese Ding Wei system, which means that the country has taken away the affection of filial piety, but there is no need to go to work, to work in plain clothes, and not to participate in auspicious ceremonies. It was originally rare to win love, but on the battlefield, it was impossible to talk about "Ding worry", and the ancients called it "Mo Xuan Congrong", also known as "the matter of Jin Ge is not avoided". That's not necessarily, the prime minister is above 10,000 people, how can he easily give up power for three years. Moreover, officials have always had cases of grabbing affection. What's more, when the funeral came, officials had already written to protect the prime minister's affection, and the prime minister had not yet made preparations to return to his hometown, obviously waiting for the emperor's special permission to win the favor. Before the emperor has made a final statement, no one can say whether the prime minister will leave Chang'an. ”

"Winning love is risking the world's disapproval, if the general civil official is not a military event, life and death, once the love will be crowned as unfilial piety, criticized by the world, not to mention that Chu Wengong, who assisted Taizu to build the country, is the ancestor of your Chu family, he is a world-famous filial piety person, her mother died on the same day, Taizu had promised him to take love, but he wrote three times and did not hesitate to resign and return to his hometown to guard the soul of his mother, Taizu endured the pain and let go, the world praised it, and it was a model for hundreds of officials. Since then, although there have been things in the previous dynasty, there has never been one in our dynasty. Therefore, if the prime minister really wins his love, he will definitely become the target of public criticism. Shi Jiaheng confidently predicted.

Chu Yunxi sighed and said with emotion: "If this is the case, it is indeed a godsend. As soon as the prime minister leaves, the hundreds of officials and dragons will be leaderless, and the various factions in the DPRK and China will definitely take the opportunity to dump each other, and Chang'an will not be peaceful. ”

Shi Jiaheng sighed worriedly: "The tiger's tail can't be touched, the prime minister is the prime minister after all, he will definitely deploy everything before leaving, and he won't let people grab his handle so easily." Only patience is the best policy. He meant this, implying that she must not be impatient and reckless, and act in a hurry.
