Chapter 3: Falling Flowers Are Like People Falling from Buildings (3)
"Yunxi. www.biquge.info Lin Yueyuan was startled, turned her anger into joy, and just wanted to reach out to her, when she saw Shi Jiaheng's face, she hurriedly pulled Chu Yunxi down and asked, "Why are you here?" What do you want?
Shi Jiaheng's body is much taller than two years ago, the sides of his cheeks are getting thinner and thinner, his complexion has become lighter, and the whole person has changed from a grassland cheetah that is ready to attack and vigorous to a strong goshawk that overlooks the overall situation and is at ease. received a little bit of the youthful fame, and a little more calm and calm mature responsibility.
Chu Yunxi was dressed as a young man, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, pale face and pink lips, and a sad and indifferent look in his sick face, which made people unable to distinguish whether it was due to the pain of long-term illness or the fate of his desolate life.
Lin Yueyuan was full of excitement, her face was ruddy in the red dress and red skirt, her movements were agile, and her smart cheeks were like red roses waiting to be released, full of vitality and business.
Shi Jiaheng's gaze crossed Lin Yueyuan and stared straight at Chu Yunxi, his voice changed tone due to trembling, and his shocked but surprised appearance was no less than the reunion of the two a few years ago: "Are you back?" ”
Lin Yueyuan vigilantly pulled Chu Yunxi to take a step back, and whispered, "Is he pestering you again?" I'll sprinkle medicine on him later, and we'll run." ”
Chu Yunxi leaned into her ear and whispered, "Don't do this." Shi Gongzi is my life-saving benefactor. ”
"Huh?" Lin Yueyuan was stunned for a moment, she remembered that Chu Yunxi hated him very much at the beginning.
Shi Jiaheng desperately suppressed his gaffe, forcing himself to calm down: "This is not the place to talk, come with me." ”
After he finished speaking, Chu Yunxi obediently followed him, Lin Yueyuan was stunned for a moment, chased after her, grabbed her hand, and followed them.
He led them away from the crowd and along the boxy outer edge of the fang, turning around to the back door of a house. Shi Jiaheng looked around a few times vigilantly, then opened the door and led the two in.
The area of the house is very large, and there are ponds, rockeries, small bridges, and flowing water in the courtyard, which are no different from the backyards of ordinary eunuchs. The only thing that made Chu and Lin feel inappropriate was that along the way, the courtyard was peaceful and quiet, and there was no one, could it be that this was a deserted old mansion? But the courtyard is quiet and tidy, and it is obvious that someone cleans it regularly.
The three of them stopped in front of a room called "Qingshuangzhai", Shi Jiaheng opened the partition door and welcomed the two of them in with a smile on his face.
Lin Yueyuan's eyes swept all the way along the gate: a three-page carved screen, painted with the scenery of Saibei, Jiangnan and southern Xinjiang, a long bookcase in front of the screen, the left front of the bookcase is a bamboo frame yarn lamp that has been extinguished, and the right front is a pen holder and inkstone. There was also an open book on the bookcase, covered with several messy sheets of paper, on which were densely drawn some military column charts that resembled the formation of military troops.
A wooden square table, a few waist benches against the wall, and high-backed benches. Behind a light gauze curtain hooked by silver hooks is a bed of carved wooden shelves, and next to the bed are three mahogany wardrobes, and on the opposite side of the wardrobe are neatly arranged rows of bookshelves. On the windowsill and on the floor, there are orange-red junzi orchids, rare blue-yellow jasper orchids, snow-colored large vegetarian hearts, and pink gladiolus.
Chu Yunxi suddenly realized, and said strangely that she always smelled that Shi Jiaheng had a vague aroma, but it was not like incense, it turned out to be a faint orchid fragrance. These orchids are extremely difficult to survive in the Northland, which shows that he also studied flower cultivation.
The whole room is in response to the word refreshing, no luxurious antique jade, no beautiful colored silk satin, no trace of flashy fat powder, clean, neat, simple and generous, neat and orderly.
Shi Jiaheng closed the door, moved the chairs, and led the two to the square table. Before the two of them could sit down, a piece of paper suddenly fell from the top of the room. Funnily enough, the tip of that piece of paper could actually stop on the tip of Lin Yueyuan's nose.
Lin Yueyuan's eyes gathered in the middle, and the eyes on both sides were entangled, staring at the paper on the tip of her nose, the soft paper body shook a little, and she was about to fall, but she flattened her hands and tried desperately to stabilize them like a juggling top tank.
Hearing Chu Yunxi's laughter, her purpose was achieved, and when she continued to coax her to be happy by changing a few postures, she was quite embarrassed by an earth-shattering sneeze.
A few more pieces of paper fell, lying waddling at the feet of the three. Chu Yunxi and Lin Yueyuan couldn't help but look up curiously, but saw that there were countless pieces of paper with maps and marching routes hanging on the beams in the house, which looked very messy and incommensurate with the clean and refreshing furnishings in the house.
Shi Jiaheng awkwardly picked up the paper that fell on the ground, folded it casually, and hurriedly stuffed it into his arms. There was a piece of paper that fell in front of Chu Yunxi, and he didn't have time to take it back, she opened it and looked at it, and probably recognized that what was drawn on it was half of the battle map of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty.
It turns out that Shi Jiaheng has a habit of reading history books, he especially likes to read the war part, every time he sees the highlights, it is a pity that there is no real map reference, once he itched his hands for a while and tried a map for the battle of Julu, the result was very satisfied, Shi Lie also appreciated. And then it was out of control.
He once spent a month familiarizing himself with nearly 100 battles of all sizes recorded in the complete set of "Han Shu", consulted ancient books and maps, and accompanied them with a set of detailed war maps, and also wrote down his own feelings about the gains and losses of the war. Later, he even came up with the idea that he would compile a well-illustrated history of the war for those who later aspired to study military affairs.
Inspired by this dream, he drew more and more, but the drawings were scattered and messy, not easy to find, and difficult to stack, so he simply found a way to mark all the war maps he drew and hung them up.
Chu Yunxi folded the drawings and returned them to him, he reached out to take them embarrassedly, turned around and poured three cups of tea to divert the attention of the two. She pulled Lin Yueyuan, who was still looking at the painting with her mouth open in surprise, to sit down, and when she took the teacup, she thanked her again and took a sip politely.
Lin Yueyuan's eyes didn't stop, and he asked urgently, "What's going on?" When did you two turn enemies into friends? ”
Chu Yunxi told her all the causes and consequences.
Hearing that Bai Qiao died so miserably, Lin Yueyuan, who almost never shed tears, had red eyes, and she was quite excited to see Chu Yunxi, and she fell silent in an instant, and later heard that Shi Jiaheng had rescued her from the fire pit, she immediately knelt down at him, kowtowed, and said: "Yunxi is my sister, you saved him and is my benefactor, our sisters thank you for your kindness in saving each other." ”
Shi Jiaheng also admired her righteousness very much, and hurriedly helped her up and said with a smile: "Good sister, I don't dare to accept this big gift." Since you have worshipped me today, I will consider you a righteous sister. ”
Lin Yueyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly changed his words: "Third brother." ”
Chu Yunxi looked at the two of them with a pale smile.
Knowing that Shi Jiaheng was the second son of Shi Lie, who guarded Yunzhong Mansion, not only was he born to retreat from the battlefield but also retreated from the enemy, Lin Yueyuan was even more envious and admired, and the two became familiar with each other after chatting for a few words.
Chu Yunxi always sat silently on the side, she suddenly coughed a few times, so frightened that Lin Yueyuan hurriedly touched her pulse, she stopped with a smile: "It's not in the way, it's just that the wind is choking." ”
Shi Jiaheng closed the window again, Lin Yueyuan's face was solemn, she held her cold hand, and whispered sadly: "I went to look for you after I came out of the house, and I found out that Aunt Qiao had such a big incident. After I finished worshipping Aunt Buckwheat, a few girls told me that you were missing and that they were trying to go out to find your whereabouts. I thought that you had come to Chang'an to seek revenge on your father, and my father told me to come north to visit my aunt, so I searched for your traces all the way. I finally met here. ”
Chu Yunxi was not as indignant and excited as she was when she heard Lin Yueyuan mention Bai Qiao's name at this time, and she said calmly: "Everything has a way, like a dream bubble. If dew is like electricity, it should be viewed as such. I came to Chang'an, not to seek revenge on the prime minister, but to settle some unfinished matters, and I will leave as soon as the matter is completed. Don't worry, I'm in control. ”
