(610), successor

- Chen Jiu felt that Liao Shi should have something else to tell her, but she lowered her eyes slightly and waited for a moment, but she never heard Liao Shi speak again, and couldn't help but raise her head in confusion, but unfortunately she happened to meet the strange old man who came over.

After glancing at each other like this, Chen Jiu suddenly became vaguely unconfident, glanced at the dishes that were no longer hot on the table, she put down what she really wanted to ask in her heart, and only said: The dishes are cold, I will help you take it to the kitchen and heat it up again.

Liao Shi didn't say anything polite, and added a request: It would be better to heat up another pot of wine.

Hold on. Chen Jiu smiled and responded.

Liao Shi understood what was going on at this time, and said with a slight surprise: Is there really one? You didn't hide all the muddy boy's wine?

Chen Jiu's hand that was putting away the dishes suddenly paused, and a smile was already put away on his face, staring at Liao Shi and saying seriously: Pharmacist, don't always call him 'muddy boy', he is not muddy at all, he doesn't drink a drop of wine, and he also drove his subordinates who are good at drinking far away, which is enough to listen to you.

Liao Shi had to laugh dryly twice, and said in a low voice: If you don't say it, don't say it, I still want to hurt him a few words in front of you, and I don't want to be sloppy with you in the future.

Chen Jiu didn't answer his words again, and went out with the tray by herself, and the moment she turned around and went out, a trace of joy floated in her eyes.

The dish was quickly served hot, steaming hot, and making people feel appetizing immediately after watching it. The two green vegetables on the table did not move, and the three dishes of meat dishes returned to the pot, and after repeatedly stir-frying the oil, the meat dishes became more flavorful.

Oh, the kung fu in the spatula is getting better and better. Even the hot dishes are excellent. Liao Shi took a bite of food, and his attention quickly fell on the wine jug that had just been served on the table, and he drank two cups before putting his hand down, looked at Chen Jiu and said: You can also sit down and eat.

I've eaten it a long time ago. Chen Jiu shook his head with a smile. Originally, Saburo was supposed to have lunch after dealing with the female spy, but he was constantly nauseating at that time, and he told me to eat first and not wait for him, so lunch was delayed until now......

Realizing that it was a bit rude to say this fact in front of Liao Shi, who was eating at this time. Chen Jiu hurriedly changed his words again: I'm sorry.

Wine girl, don't learn from him, he is still half a patient, but you are different, you have to take care of yourself to take care of him more energy. Liao Shi sighed with emotion, and after a pause, he said: I always feel that if he has no appetite, you will always be worried, but if you really don't want to eat. Just sit with me for a while.

Chen Jiu rarely saw Liao Shi speak like an ordinary elder. And the meaning of the words does have some convincing truths. She was quite touched by her heart for a while, so she sat down next to Liao Shi and saw that the wine cup in front of him was empty. Hurriedly filled him again.

Liao Shi picked up the wine cup and drank it dry, put down the wine cup and breathed a sigh of relief. There was a kind of desire to exhale the word "addiction" on his face, but when the old wine was about to be filled for him again, he raised his hand to signal that it was not necessary.

Chen Jiu looked at the half-left wine jug and wondered: Don't you drink it?

Liao Shi shook his head slightly and said: I will hurry up and go back to dispensing medicine later, and I must drink in moderation.

Even though Liao Shi's style of acting is a little different from ordinary people, he has absolute self-control in business, which is the absolute importance and respect for his great cause of refining medicine, and Chen Jiu also respects his character.

Closing the lid of the wine jug, Chen Jiu smiled and said: Then when you come next time, I will pour wine for you. The hot rice in the kitchen has already been steamed and can't be put on hold any longer, so I'll help you bring it to you.

Chen Jiu was about to get up as he spoke, but was stopped by Liao Shi.

Wine girl, don't you really want to know? Liao Shi put down his chopsticks and looked at Chen Jiu, just now Hun Boy also talked to me about leaving here.

Chen Jiu was stunned when she heard this, she just stood up, and sat down with a stiff posture, but she didn't speak, just looked at Liao Shi intently.

Obviously, you want to know. Liao Shi spoke slowly, but I can only honestly say that he will only continue to live here for about a month, and leaving is inevitable, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of taking you with him.

It was just such a short sentence, but it summarized an important fact, Chen Jiu believed that Liao Shi did not lie to her, but her mood suddenly became extremely depressed.

I know... I knew it...... Chen Jiu muttered, his head drooping to the edge of the table.

In fact, he decided to do it for your own good. He's going somewhere, it's really not suitable to take you with him. Liao Shi didn't know how to persuade people, and every word he said still only told the truth. Soon he realized that his words were clearly not enough at this point, so he simply shut his mouth.

There was silence in the room for a moment, Chen Jiu slowly raised his head again, and suddenly asked: Pharmacist, you are his respectful senior, do you know the matter between him and Miss Ye?

Miss Ye? Liao Shi was in a trance, but he quickly remembered, but as soon as he nodded, he shook his head again and said: I have probably only heard some news, and when the three of them came to Kyoto, I was still squatting in the prison.

A trace of disappointment appeared in Chen Jiu's eyes, and he said softly as if talking to himself: Where am I not doing as well as her? Why can Miss Ye make him remember him for more than ten years, no matter how hard I try, I will always be separated from him?

Chen Jiu sat next to Liao Shi, she didn't defend against the strange old man beside her, and Liao Shi also listened to all her words, but she could only sigh.

After eating and drinking enough, Liao Shi didn't stay long, picked up his medicine box and prepared to leave. Before going out, he hesitated, looked at Chen Jiu and asked: I still have some things to go to him again, do you have any plans for the news I just conveyed to you? Do you want me to inquire in front of him for you?

Chen Jiu shook his head a little frustratedly: No, no need.

Liao Shi didn't say anything more, turned around and left with the medicine box on his back.

Chen Jiu continued to sit quietly at the table alone for a while, and I don't know how long it took for her to put away her complicated thoughts, get up and leave her seat and start to clean up the scraps on the table. Lin Shan's diet was all under her control, and the other attendants and servants were very conscious of not interfering with this.

But no one knows. Between her and Lin Shan, there is always that step that is not close. This was supposed to be a difficult step for people to deal with, maybe she just had to take a few more steps, and this embarrassment could be relieved by itself. But she didn't want to leave, so she gradually complicated the relationship and worried her.

Chen Jiu absentmindedly put away the dinner plate and was about to go out with the tray. almost collided head-on with a person, and with a certain look, he saw that Liao Shi was actually back again.

Did you forget something? Chen Jiu subconsciously asked.

Liao Shi shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: Didn't you just ask me about Miss Ye?

Chen Jiu's eyes suddenly became clear again, but she quickly remembered what Liao Shi had answered just now, and immediately asked: Didn't you say that you were trapped in the prison at that time, so you don't know?

Yes, I didn't lie to you just now. But about Miss Ye. I still know a little bit about it. Liao Shi stroked the wisp of white beard under his chin. I organized my words in my heart first, and then said slowly: I have only seen Miss Ye once, and you must be able to understand. I'm such a withdrawn person...... Well...... She is indeed a very special woman, and what is said about her. Except for the fact that the family is very rich, she can ignore it, because this is something accumulated by her ancestors, and it can't be all her credit. But other than that, she can still be considered a strange woman.

Chen Jiu's eyes already had a novel expression, and he immediately asked: How strange?

Liao Shi said slowly while reminiscing: She seems to know many things, and she can't be said to know everything, but even if she only knows the category of fur, she can also say some opinions, which is different from ordinary women. There are many women in the world who are reserved, and Miss Ye naturally has them, but she can handle women's reserve very appropriately. Specifically...... This should be regarded as a kind of active feeling. She is also defensive, but if she is the one who pays attention, she will definitely turn into charcoal, rendering melting resistance frost.

After leaving Dongfeng Tower, Chen Jiu only felt that the most important person in her life, or the goal of her pursuit, was Lin Shan, so when she heard Liao Shi's words, her first reaction was to say: You mean, I am still not active enough?

Liao Shi scratched the back of his head, which was a little itchy, and didn't know whether he should confirm or deny it at this time, and after thinking for a while, he only said: Miss Ye's initiative is really due to her character, and personality is unique to everyone, and it is not easy to change, which means that it is not easy to learn and imitate. What I just said is just a paraphrase of what I know, and you need to be careful not to be self-defeating.

When Chen Jiu heard this, his expression suddenly turned into a trance. Liao Shihou's words reminded her, and she just realized that she had almost fallen into a misunderstanding.

If she really learns the kind of active character that belongs to Ye Ziqing that Liao Shi relayed, but mistakenly uses the professional way that she is good at and has an affair with charm, maybe in the future, she will not only not be able to get closer to the last step from Lin Shan, but will gradually distance herself from him. His temperament, she probably still understands it clearly.

Liao Shi saw that Chen Jiu began to be silent again, and his feelings were low, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and after thinking about it, he said: People's personalities are closely related to the details of people's lives, and Miss Ye's special is mostly related to the huge family background behind her, but this does not mean that ordinary people have no personal advantages. You can't always look at others, you should think more about yourself.

It's good that he didn't say this, but once he said this, it immediately made Chen Jiu think of his rough life, compared to Ye Ziqing, who had been dead for many years, she still felt that she was so low.

Liao Shi is not good at persuading people, nor will he weave beautiful lies in order to comfort people, he just followed what he thought in his heart, and continued: 'Confident people are the most dazzling, and kind people are the most beautiful' This is a sentence that Miss Ye often puts on her lips, although it sounds a little strange at first glance, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully. It seems to me that you lack the same self-confidence. If the muddy boy continues to make muddy, will you have to be so depressed all the time? Depression is not a good thing.

Because Liao Shi's words quoted Ye Ziqing's words, Chen Jiu also paid special attention, and repeatedly pondered these words in her heart, and she couldn't help but say: What should I use to be confident?

The meaning of self-confidence is interpreted differently in everyone's mind. Liao Shi said calmly and sternly, I only know my opinion of self-confidence, and that is to accept the worst. If you can consider the worst-case scenario head-on, then the setbacks and tribulations of the course of events are no longer too important.

Accept the worst...... Chen Jiu muttered softly, repeating what Liao Shi said, and a thoughtful expression gradually appeared on his face.

But...... Liao Shi suddenly spoke again, you don't have to accept the worst outcome.

Chen Jiu glanced at Liao Shi in surprise.

Liao Shi hesitated for a moment, and finally explained in detail: Lin Shan should not have told you that there is a rule about his master that has not changed for hundreds of years. Whoever becomes the successor of the sect cannot marry a wife for the rest of his life, and he is single and single-minded.

Chen Jiu snorted in surprise. It was indeed the first time she had heard this kind of thing about Lin Shan, and Liao Shi only revealed one sentence, which made her extremely shocked in her heart.

Originally...... He cherished Miss Ye so much, but in the end, he indirectly gave it to others, because of this weird sect rule? It's just that...... If it's a sect restriction that even Miss Ye can't break through, what can I do? Liao Shi just said that he didn't have to accept the worst result, what did he mean?

Liao Shi looked at Chen Jiu's expression in his eyes, and couldn't help but laugh and said: Anyone who hears this strange rule for the first time will be surprised, but the sect he belongs to is very ancient, and it is precisely because of this kind of regulation that it has been able to spread to the present without destroying the foundation. I can't say much about the reasons for this. I'm just going to say that he still has a junior brother, but he left the sect at an early age, so the responsibility of the successor will be entirely on him. And if this person can be found, perhaps the choice of the successor will change.

Chen Jiu's eyes were slightly turbulent, now she has experienced a lot, and she is no longer a person who is easily affected by impulses, after thinking about it, she first asked: Why did his junior brother leave the sect early, can the pharmacist know?

A misunderstanding. Liao Shi groaned and said, over the years, he himself has been looking for his junior brother, so it seems that the problem should not be big, but there is room for maneuver. I once inquired about his tone, and if the junior brother found it, the replacement of the successor would be at least seven points successful.

Chen Jiu pondered and asked: Then there are still three points that cannot be achieved, what could be the reason?

In his division, the successor needs to be tested, and the fact that he can become a successor candidate at an early age proves a problem. Liao Shi paused when he said this, and after a while, he turned the conversation and said: But this time is different from the past, although most of the divisional examinations are literary examinations, but his physical condition has deteriorated, even if he doesn't think about himself, he is only a master plan, and he can't do it reluctantly-
