Chapter 197: Mutual Trust
Xiao Yu and Jiang Li sent Qiu Da out. Jiang Li, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Aren't you going with him?" ”
"I'm going to accompany you out today. I'll take you to see the house where your father used to live. After Xiao Yu finished speaking, Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and he took Jiang Li's hand and left.
The two turned a few streets and then a lakeside flower embankment, Xiao Yu pointed to a house with gray walls and a vermilion gate, "There it is." Actually, it's so close to the house you live in, you can see it from the upper floor. ”
Xiao Yu pulled Jiang Li to the front of the house, and locked the door with an iron lock. "This mansion is guarded by Zhou, your father has a good relationship with him, and he has been living here since he came to Qingzhou. Your father has been unoccupied since then. When I brought Jiang Ju here, I asked someone to ask Zhou Shoubei to buy this house, but the Zhou family replied that it would not be sold. ”
Jiang Li pulled Xiao Yu around the outer wall of the house for half a circle, Xiao Yu looked left and right, and took Jiang Li to float over the high wall and landed on the inner wall of the house.
The house is very large, there are two large gardens before and after, the pavilions and pavilions in the garden are all exquisite, the courtyard flowers and trees and grass are all neatly maintained, and the ground is also very clean, and it is taken care of at a glance. I'm afraid that the person guarding the house has gone out temporarily, and Jiang Li doesn't care whether he sneaked in or not, he looks from room to room, trying to find a little trace of his father's life here.
Finally, in the study, Jiang Li found lines of familiar handwriting. The stacks of books on the shelves had words that he had read and annotated. There were also calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of the study, and Jiang Li knew at a glance that they were all from his father's handwriting.
Jiang Li groaned in the study, and said to Xiao Yu for a while: "I didn't expect that the owner of this house still kept my father's calligraphy and paintings, I really want to visit the Zhou Guard you mentioned." ”
The two came out of the study, and by the way, they looked at some other places, and Xiao Yu came out with Jiang Li over the wall as usual.
On this day, Xiao Yu took Jiang Li to wander outside for most of the day, Jiang Li saw the different customs of Qingzhou, and saw that it was late, Xiao Yu sent her back.
Not long after they went out, Fan Yancheng received an urgent message from Jiangnan, and as soon as Jiang Li came back, Yuan Bi came to ask Jiang Li to go to the backyard to discuss.
Fan Yancheng said straight to the point: "There is an urgent message in the capital, asking me and my third brother to enter Beijing as soon as possible. The third brother can't go like this, so I can only go back and explain it to the eighth prince first, so we want to go first and ask Miss Jiang to help us take care of the third brother for a while. After speaking, He Yuanbi looked at Jiang Li with blank eyes.
"I don't have to do it myself, if you don't worry, just leave him here." Jiang Li was not hypocritical, and generously agreed.
On the way back to the front yard, Yuan Bi revealed the reason why Fan Yancheng wanted to rush back to the capital. It turned out that the eighth prince sent an urgent letter saying that the northern border had clashed with Dayan several times, and now the Dayan people are stirring up trouble at the border again, and the eighth prince is not ready to endure it this time, and this time he urgently summoned Fan Sicheng to Beijing, just to send him to the northern front.
Jiang Li listened to it and remembered that Xiao Yu talked about Fan Sicheng and his brothers using Wanfozhai to raise military salaries for the eighth prince, she knew that Fan Ruozhen had a fight with Dayan, should the dozens of boxes of things in her hand be handed over to them? She couldn't think of it herself.
Fan Yancheng took Yuan Bi away the next day, and the burden of taking care of Fan Sicheng fell on Jiang Li. Just like Jiang Li said, Fan Sicheng's daily life is taken care of by the girl, and she doesn't do it herself, but Fan Sicheng is getting better day by day, and he has more time to go out and walk around, and he has to find someone to accompany him from time to time to relieve his boredom. As a result, Jiang Ju became Fan Sicheng's shadow, and he was inseparable every day.
Qiu Da didn't come, so Qiushuang moved in. Qiushuang and Jiang Li are not separated, in addition to piercing Fan Sicheng with silver needles three times a day and watching the girl boil medicine, sometimes he will talk to Jiang Li about the customs of Qingzhou and the affairs of Qingfeng Village at other times.
It was also from Qiushuang's words that Jiang Li knew that Qingfeng Village had ten hall masters and the names of ten hall masters. It's just that Qiushuang is very secretive about who is the owner of Qingfeng Village, and she doesn't say anything when Jiang Li asks her several times.
On this day, Jiang Li sat next to him and watched Jiang Ju play chess with Fan Sicheng. Fan Sicheng can't remember the past, and his chess skills are not good. Jiang Ju played against him, and he hated him for his stinky chess. But thinking that Qiushuang said that playing more chess with him would help him recover his memory, Jiang Ju had to endure it and patiently accompany him to play chess.
Jiang Li watched from the side, chatting with Jiang Ju about some gossip with one or the other.
"Jiang Ju, I haven't seen my master for a few days, where did he go?" "I don't know, he said he had a personal matter to deal with, and he would go out for a while, and he would come back when he was dealt with." Jiang Ju frowned and watched Fan Sicheng slowly fall. turned back to Jiang Li and said, "Sister, do you think Brother Fan is a stinky chess basket himself, or has he become like this poisoning?" ”
Fan Sicheng raised his head, "Little ghost, who do you say stinks in chess?" I just can't remember it for a while. Jiang Li and Qiushuang glanced at each other and smiled.
Although he didn't know Jiang Ju, he spoke much clearer. Maybe one day I'll suddenly remember. Qiushuang carefully observed Fan Sicheng and said.
"That's good. Seeing how smart and clever he used to be, he suddenly became an idiot like a fool, and it was really unbearable to watch. Jiang Ju said with a sad face.
Fan Sicheng rolled his eyes when he heard Jiang Ju's words, looked sideways at Jiang Li, and smiled at her.
That smile made Jiang Li slightly trance-like, remembering that he seemed to be the same when he smiled at himself before. Jiang Li's eyes rolled, and he said in his heart, isn't he already well?
finally got to play a game of chess with him, and Jiang Ju never accompanied him anymore. Fan Sicheng grabbed Bai Zi and shouted to Jiang Li: "Sister Jiang Li, will you accompany you for the next game?" ”
The voice of 'Sister Jiang Li' was so smooth that Jiang Li was stunned when he heard it: "You, remember?" ”
"Remember?" Fan Sicheng's eyes were clear, as if his mind was completely transparent, and he asked Jiang Li with a wink. "That little ghost calls you Sister Jiang Li, won't I just call you Sister Jiang Li?"
"Well, I'm too careful." Jiang Li glanced at the chessboard and said slowly, "Also, if you think about the past, where can you still sit still." You were still a royal envoy not long ago, and now there is a big incident in the court, and the eighth prince is waiting for you to help, where do you still have the leisure to play a fool here. You say, don't you? ”
Fan Sicheng's eyes lit up, and instantly darkened again, and he muttered: "You're right, why should I play a fool, I'm just a fool." All I know is that my brother asked you to take care of me, and if you promised him, you will be responsible for me. "Saying that, he fell behind, and this time it was not slow.
Jiang Li looked at him stunned, and now, he couldn't figure out if he really had amnesia.
