In order to calm Qing Chun's overly excited emotions, Chu Yunxi specially arranged for her to sleep in her own room, and waited to see her lying quietly on the bed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 She smiled reassuringly and stood up from the edge of the bed, intending to bring water and wash up. Suddenly feeling dizzy, she squatted down in pain clutching her chest, a stream of bitter water in her stomach was on the top, she hurriedly pulled out the wooden basin that she usually used to scrub her painting tools from under the bed, and vomited.

Ulva rolled off the bed and stroked her back in pain, but she still couldn't stop her from vomiting up the food in her stomach.

Biyin had already fallen asleep, and Lu Yan was so worried that it was difficult to sleep. Suddenly, I heard the sound of vomiting coming from Chu Yunxi's room, and I knew that she was not cured, and she ate more on an empty stomach. She got up and rushed into the house.

At this time, Chu Yunxi had already vomited out all the food she had eaten at night, and she lay on Qing Chun's body weakly and almost collapsed. Lu Yan turned around and went to the kitchen to add firewood and pour water into the pot to heat it. Then he poured another cup of warm water from the kettle, returned to the house, and handed it to her mouth for her to rinse. Qing Chun took out a handkerchief and wiped the filth from her mouth. Then the two of them worked together to put her on the bed.

Lu Yan opened the wardrobe and took out a thin quilt to cover her, but when they saw that her face was slightly yellow, her eyes were scattered, her twitches, and her lips were shriveled without a trace of blood, the two were shocked.

Qing Chun only felt that she had hurt her, kneeling beside the bed in pain, completely losing her former indifference and calmness. On the contrary, Lu Yan, who has always been busy in trouble, probably saw that Qing Ula also lost her square inch, so she forced herself to calm down, and she didn't ask others for the first time, "What should I do?" But he silently dressed himself, gathered his hair, took out all the money he had saved from the drawer of the wooden cabinet at the head of the bed, counted them in his palms, put them in his bosom, and opened the door to go out.

"Where are you going, what's wrong with Ulva?" Even if Biyin slept as deep as a dead pig, she was awakened by Qing Ying's cry at this moment, she rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes, and walked towards her while putting on her clothes in a mess.

"I'll go and ask the doctor, you get dressed and take care of the master, and tell Qing Chun not to cry, it's unlucky." Lu Yan's forehead hair was slightly scattered, and she grabbed the edge of the door with both hands, and turned to her. Her tired eyes were bloodshot, perhaps because she had borne too much pain, and there was no sadness on her numb face.

"Wait a minute." Biyin looked into the house, saw the things spit out in the wooden basin, and saw Qing Chun lying in front of the bed crying almost out of breath, suddenly startled, only to feel that something was wrong, busy with the usual lazy calculations, three times five divided by two neatly packed up clothes, shouted to the house: "Qing Chun, you are optimistic about the master." Just wanted to let Lu Yan wait for her, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned back to Chu Yunxi's house, picked up her head, took out a mahogany lacquer box from under the pillow and put it in her arms, comforted Qing Chun a few words, and hurriedly chased out the door.

She ran desperately, and finally stopped Lu Yan at the entrance of the alley and said breathlessly: "Don't panic, don't panic." You go to the doctor, what if you find an unreliable and exposed master's identity. Besides, it's so late, how can there be a doctor in the city who is willing to come to the door, not to mention that it takes at least four streets to get from us to the nearest hospital in the city. It's better to go to the General's Mansion first, let's go to Shi Gongzi first and ask him to come up with an idea. Even if you want to find a doctor, he will come forward to ask for many good doctors in the city. ”

Although Biyin is usually lazy and greedy, she is lazy and lazy, but she is not sloppy at the critical moment. As soon as Lu Yan heard the reason, the two turned around and walked out of the alley to the north.

The two of them came to the backyard of the Northwest General's Mansion, and according to Chu Yunxi's original instructions, they asked the guards guarding the gate to hand over the mahogany lacquer box to Second Young Master Shi.

The guard knew that the second young master must still be reading at night at this moment, so he couldn't help but beg the two of them, took the box and promised to inform them.

The temperature of the summer night is much cooler than that of the day, the night sky is dotted with stars, and the summer cicadas sing among the trees, attracting the carp in the pond in the courtyard to tumble and jump, and the splashing water rolls between the jade-like lotus leaves, pressing the leaves like a beauty, and slowly hanging down.

Shi Jiaheng raised his head from the pile of books on the table, pulled out the top book of the highest pile of official documents, opened the page full of names and official positions, and ticked a few circles in it. Then he opened his lips and silently recited a few words in confusion, then spread it on the table, patted his forehead, got up from the chair, paced back and forth, closed his eyes, and began to think about the chaotic clues of the case.

Flashes of light flashed through his mind, interrupted by the guard's knock on the door, and vanished into the darkness like a meteor. He opened his eyes regretfully and asked lazily, "Who?" ”

The carved wooden door slowly opened, and the orchid pattern on the lampshade in the room floated on the steps like ripples in the water. The refreshing aroma wafted from the air, Shi Jiaheng appeared at the door wearing a wide amber brocade plain flower dress with his hands behind his back, due to the heat, he did not wear a belt, and his wet hair hung down loosely behind his head, wrapped casually with a headband. The cool breeze in the courtyard poured into the hem of his garment, blowing his garment bulging and fluttering. Stripped of the usual armor shackles, such casual clothing made him a little less majestic and masculine as a soldier and a little more elegant and magnificent as a literati.

The cool breeze swept away the stuffiness in the house, and he suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and his mood of being disturbed by the guards was much calmer. He stretched, moved his slightly numb arm, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

The guard handed the wooden box to him, bowed his head and said, "Back to Gongzi, there are two girls outside the back door who take this wooden box and ask to see Gongzi, saying that it is a matter of life and death, and they must see Gongzi." The subordinate had just checked it, and there was nothing suspicious in the box, so he dared to ask his son to read it. ”

Shi Jiaheng took the box curiously, opened it and saw that a milky and smooth mutton fat jade pendant was lying quietly on the black flannel, glowing with a soft shimmer. Surprised, he picked up the jade pendant and rubbed the ornament on it, and asked hurriedly, "What about them, bring them in." ”

The guard went back to bring someone over, and he closed the door while he was there, and went back into the house, and with the speed of hearing the horn gathering in the barracks, he tied up his belt, covered his coat, tied his hair, and straightened the folds of his clothes in front of the mirror, until he was sure that he was now dressed appropriately and would not neglect the guests. After hearing the regular knock on the door three times, he opened the door with a smile on his face and cordially greeted the distinguished guests.

When Lu Yan and Bi Yin saw him, as if they had seen a savior and a god, they knelt down to him with gratitude and adoration, and said, "Please save our young lady." ”

He gasped, and there was an instant chill in the air that was still hot just now. He hurriedly helped the two of them to their feet, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" ”

He paused, and felt a faint sense of fear, and his heart ached. He frowned, and asked in a rare panic: "Could it be that your young lady went to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion at night again and was caught by mistake?" ”

Biyin shook her head again and again and said, "No, it's the master who is suddenly seriously ill." ”

Hearing the word "no", Shi Jiaheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain in his heart was slightly reduced, but when he heard the word "seriously ill", his heart, which had just returned to the ground, was hoisted to the edge of the cliff again, and the fear of falling at any time came back to life.

He didn't dare to rashly invite the doctor to Chu Yunxi's residence, so he first took her out in a carriage, and then escorted her to the hospital.

Fortunately, he was usually used to riding horses and did not like to ride in a car. He likes to watch the crowds in the streets and alleys, listen to the cries of vendors in the downtown area, and listen to the merchants and people from the north and south speaking various local dialects in the teahouse. Unlike other nobles in the city, he used luxurious carriages to protect himself from the airtight, which isolated the dust of the outside world, but also cut off the joy of life.

Therefore, the carriage that belonged to him in the General's Mansion was almost never used, and naturally no one would recognize it.

In order to reduce the delay on the road and meet the patrolling acquaintances, Biyin and Lu Yan could only drive a shortcut, and Shi Jiaheng sat alone in the car. The two had already learned to drive on the way, and the carriage was very steady, but his heart was as bumpy and turbulent as if he was crossing a thousand ravines. He was anxious and restless, wishing that he could fly to her like a nightingale singing in the night sky and give birth to a pair of wings.

The carriage galloped quickly, and soon arrived home safely, Biyin and Luyan pulled the reins together, and the two white horses stepped on the ground repeatedly, neighing incessantly. He could not wait any longer, and before the carriage could stop, he jumped off the carriage and galloped into the house.

The yard was quiet, and the thick foliage of the acacia surrounded the pot of golden water lilies under the tree. The flowers planted in various parts of the courtyard have bloomed, and the fragrance is like the steam that constantly leaks out when boiling water fills the whole yard, which is intoxicating.

He was so anxious that he didn't have time to enjoy the colorful flowers in the courtyard, he plunged into Chu Yunxi's bedroom, and he didn't care about politeness and etiquette at all. Then rushed in with Lu Yan and Bi Yin.

When the three of them saw Chu Yunxi lying on the bed unharmed, with teacups in both hands, looking at them with surprised eyes, one of the three laughed, one cried, and the other stood speechless, with thousands of thoughts in his head, and his heart was mixed, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

Qing Chun heard someone break into the house and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen. By that time, her mood had returned to normal. I saw Lu Yan in the house covering her face with her hands and crying, Bi Yin smiled and talked to herself, and saw Shi Jiaheng leaning against the door with a slightly sluggish expression, so she entered the house and pulled out Lu Yan and Bi Yin, who were crying and laughing, leaving space and time for the remaining two.

After the three of them left in a hurry, Shi Jiaheng finally returned to his soul, remembering the rude gaffe he had cared about before, he smiled shyly at Chu Yunxi with a slight embarrassment.

She smiled elegantly and politely, and responded generously: "I'm sorry that you came so late, please take a seat." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and made a "please" motion.

Shi Jiaheng pulled the chair in front of the table to her bedside and sat down, learned from the doctor to look at her, and repeatedly confirmed that she was really okay before she was completely relieved.

After chatting about the condition, the two couldn't find a new topic, so they fell silent at the same time.

A few bunches of lamps fell from the center of the candle, and the firelight flickered because of the falling of the lamps, and then became brighter and brighter, and the silhouettes of the two were reflected on the curtain on the bed, from the angle from which he was sitting, it seemed that Chu Yunxi was snuggling intimately on his shoulder, and he was a little smoky.

Chu Yunxi lowered his head and gently turned the teacup in his hand, his eyes like black pearls flashed slightly, and he looked at his face with clean and pure eyes that did not contain a trace of worldly impurities, nodded sincerely and said with a light smile: "Although I don't thank you for my great kindness, I still want to thank you." ”

Those eyes are like the purest clouds in the sky, entwined with the brilliant colors of the sunset, and it should hang high above the nine heavens, and it should not fall into the world to be entangled by lust. Shi Jiaheng once again fell into her innocent eyes, and when he woke up, he couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being damned, in the face of such a person who was as quiet as snow, he really shouldn't have some charming thoughts. He secretly forced himself to get rid of his selfish distractions and be as open and innocent as the world worships Guanyin.

Chu Yunxi saw that his face had changed a few times, which was very strange. Thinking that he was worried, he became even more uneasy, and he coughed lightly twice.

Shi Jiaheng patted her back gently, took the teacup in her hand again, walked to the table and raised the pot to add some new tea to her.

Chu Yunxi looked at his Qingjian back, slightly distracted, and suddenly his heart moved, and asked, "You seem to be very good with Gu Chaomin, I want to ask ......?"

She paused, her mouth tugged, she changed her wording, and asked solemnly, "What do you think of Gu Chaomin's character?" ”

Shi Jiaheng put the kettle back in place, sat down with the teacup, and said strangely: "Why did you ask him so decently?" ”

Chu Yunxi thought about it, after all, Qing Chun and Gu Chaomin's private affairs were related to the reputation of her daughter's family, and she was not good at talking about it, so she decided to hide this paragraph and not mention it, and changed it to another set of specious statements: "I won't tell you anything, just because of Xie Zhaorong's poisoning last time, I offended the concubine and provoked him to turn his face. ”

Shi Jiaheng handed the teacup back to her, and his words were thoughtful: "It's hard to say." ”

Chu Yunxi measured his body and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Shi Jiaheng stepped on the pedals in front of the bed, clenched his hands into fists and knees, his chin was blocked in his fists, making a contemplative look, and smiled slowly: "I can't get along with him. ”

Chu Yunxi blinked in confusion.

Shi Jiaheng met her gaze and said carefully: "As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, others are naturally willing to intersect with me, but the intercourse is like you and me, and there is also a nodding friendship." The younger aristocratic children in Chang'an City have some bad habits of competitiveness and arrogance and conceit, and since I was a child, I ate yellow sand and drank snow water at the border pass, and I was not as arrogant as them. On the battlefield, they are all brothers who trust each other, and the enemy's saber does not matter where you come from. As long as there are people who are speculative in words, I am willing to pour out all kinds of blood and blood to each other, so some of them look down on me for associating with the children of the poor and think that I have lost my identity, and some like my easy-going temper and voluntarily associate with me. Gu Chaomin is the same. ”

Chu Yunxi listened interestingly, like an innocent child full of curiosity, and his eyes widened with curiosity.

Shi Jiaheng began to recall the fragments of getting along with Gu Chaomin: "At that time, I was ordered to enter Beijing and became the general in front of the palace. I thought that as the eldest son of Lord Gu Chen, he would be crowned sooner or later, and participating in the martial arts would not be a good name.

In the last game of the martial arts test, I was ordered to teach him, and he was able to make a draw, he was quite arrogant and did not put the generals in the palace in his eyes, and he was a little unhappy when he drew with me. I admire him a lot, he has not been trained in the battlefield but can practice such a good skill, which shows that his mind is strong.

After all, I have been stationed at the border for more than ten years, and I have more experience in the war than him, and I see that what he wrote seems to be reasonable and well-founded, but it is inevitable that there are some words on paper, and I also blame me for not thinking well at that time, and only wanted to consult with him, so I pointed out several of his shortcomings. At that time, his boss was not convinced, he was very dissatisfied with me, and even spoke disrespectfully, and he looked down on me very much. If you change someone else, I don't know how many times I have beaten in private. ”

He smiled chicly, and inadvertently revealed the heroic spirit of pointing out the country in front of thousands of troops: "People like us who are begging for a living under the knife edge have never seen any battles, and that bit of blood has long been sprinkled on the battlefield, how can we be angry and hurt our livers for this little thing." I was neither angry nor annoyed, I was still humble and polite to him, and I called Brother Chaomin and Brother Chaomin. After a long time, he probably couldn't hold his face, and his face looked better. ”

He smiled even more at this. Later, a fun-loving Shen Junyi was added, and we became friends. However......" He suddenly said in a deep tone: "Gu Chaomin is indeed difficult to get along with, not only because he is arrogant, but also because it is too difficult to deal with him, he always seems to be separated from others when he does things. I don't know if he is thoughtful, defensive, suspicious, or if he has little emotion at all and is indifferent to people, in short...... He was indeed a little moody, and he was rarely tolerant. If you have sinned against him, be careful. ”

Listening to Shi Jiaheng's words, Chu Yunxi's heart was half cold, and her impression of Gu Chaomin fell to another level. Since he is a suspicious and indifferent person, how much sincerity and affection does he have for Qingxu? She almost thought that she was kind enough to fulfill them, and if so, wouldn't it hurt her.

Shi Jiaheng saw that her face suddenly became solemn, and her eyebrows seemed to have gathered a large dark cloud, thinking that she was worried about offending Gu Chaomin, so she comforted her understandingly: "You don't need to worry, if you are afraid of him, you just need to hide from him in the future." Gu Chaomin cherishes his background very much, and he will never embarrass you for some trivial things, and he is afraid of losing his so-called noble identity in front of others. ”

Chu Yunxi squeezed out a wry smile and nodded: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

The tuk tuk sound of knocking on the door was followed by the sound of her falling words: "Master, it's been three watches." Lu Yan kindly reminded that it was not her who was reminded, but Shi Jiaheng.

Shi Jiaheng shook the hem of his clothes, stood up and said, "You rest, I won't disturb." ”

He leaned over and pressed her shrugged shoulder, and said with a smile: "No need to send it, you don't have to go to the painting academy tomorrow, I want to take leave from the academician for you, and recover from your illness with peace of mind." When I come back, I will explain your illness to the doctor in detail, and then I will give you some medicine, and you will tell them to come to my backyard at noon, and when the evening is quiet, I will come back to see you. He put the cup in her hand on the round stool he had made, and then gently helped her to lie down, and helped her to arrange her clothes and quilts.

Before leaving, he picked up a strand of green silk that she had scattered around the pillow and placed the mahogany lacquer box he had taken out of his arms beside her head.

Chu Yunxi stretched out his hand and nudged the wooden box and said, "This is your jade pendant, it should have been returned to its original owner a long time ago, so you can take it today." ”

Shi Jiaheng stroked the messy black hair on her forehead, and smiled softly: "No, you should keep it." As a token between you and me, as long as I see this jade pendant, I will come to the end of the world or the tiger's den in Longtan. ”

His words were very strange, Chu Yunxi was slightly stunned, how could she sound like an oath between men and women. Her face was slightly hot, as if she had a fever again, and she put her hand on her cheek in a panic, and patted her arm lightly as it fell, covering the flush on her face and stopping her cranky thoughts.

Shi Jiaheng glanced at her deeply, and gently opened the door and went out. The three girls will send him out of the door with tears of gratitude.
