Chapter 69: I'm Just Telling the Truth
When Yu Shu found Jingchen, he was sitting and sleeping under a tree in the plum forest, Shu Shu had long wanted to ask him, how could he sleep while sitting, but he was not in the mood to joke today, and before he walked up to him, he called out:
"Jingchen Hero."
The closed slender eyelashes trembled slightly, Jing Chen opened his eyes, looked up at Yu Shu who was standing in front of him, stood up, and the cloud sleeves brushed the hem of his clothes.
Yu Shu suddenly changed from looking down to looking up at him, secretly unhappy, handed him the package in his hand, and said:
"Here, it's all washed."
"Thank you," Jingchen took the package, opened a corner, saw the whitewashed color inside, and nodded, "It's clean." β
Of course it's clean, she rubbed it several times, can it be clean, Yu Shu said: "I'll leave if I don't have anything to do, I'll come to see you in two days, keep the dirty clothes, and I'll wash them for you when I turn around." β
One time is also washed, two times is also washed, washed and washed, and I don't care about washing a few more times, it is regarded as a favor, anyway, Jingchen doesn't know that she is a girl, he will not be embarrassed, let alone her.
Jingchen watched and didn't stay: "Go." β
Yu Shu turned to leave, walked a few steps, shook his hand, "hissed" lightly, raised his eyebrows in front of him, opened his sleeves and took a look, only to see that his entire wrist was swollen, and secretly said that he was unlucky, and was about to put down his sleeves, when he heard a shout from behind:
"Little Fish"
"What?" She turned her head, saw that Jingchen had left the sleeping plum tree, walked towards her, and arrived in a few steps, looked down at the hand she was still holding, and grabbed her wrist without saying hello, and when she lifted and pinched and folded, Yu Shu's cry like killing a pig suddenly sounded in the forest-
"Ahh
Yu Shu pulled his claws out of Jing Chen's hand, stared at him bitterly and hatefully, and said angrily: "What are you doing?" β
Jingchen put the hand that committed the crime behind his back: "Your left wrist is dislocated, I'll help you come over, you move to see." β
Yu Shu turned his left hand in disbelief, and sure enough, there was no stinging pain, only sour numbness remained.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Hey, it doesn't hurt anymore." Yu Shu rubbed his wrist and looked at Jingchen with admiration, forgetting that the one who yelled at him just now was also himself, "Xie Lu Xie." β
Jingchen shook his head and raised his chin, "How did you get it?" β
Yu Shu was holding back his anger and had nowhere to spill, and when he asked, his face pulled down again, and he said depressedly: "It's nothing, I grabbed someone on the road and accidentally injured myself." β
"Huh?"
A fluttering tail note, with a bit of exploration, listened to Yu Shu's ears, inexplicably let her give birth to a confiding **, and then looked at the clear eyes of the little white Taoist priest in front of her, I felt that it was nothing to talk to him, anyway, this person was alone, and he couldn't find anyone to gossip, so he led down to the tree just now:
"Let's go, let's sit and talk."
"Hmm" The two of them sat side by side under the tree, a foot apart, and although they sat close, neither of them could touch each other.
"I came to you in the morning with my clothes, walked a path, and met a little monkey in the alleyβ"
"Monkeys? Are there monkeys in the city too? Jingchen asked, thinking that only monkeys were found in the mountains and forests.
Yu Shu was amused by him, and said with a smile, "It's not a real monkey, it's a local dialect, that is, people who rob things, don't monkeys love to rob people and things the most?" β
Jingchen nodded: "That's true, when I was practicing in the mountains, I was robbed of dry food by monkeys, they are very smart, their claws are sharp, several monkeys get together to grab things, it is even more troublesome, if you don't hurt them, and don't get hurt, there is only one way." β
Yu Shu was curious: "What way?" β
"Give them something." Jingchen said seriously.
Yu Shu's cheeks puffed out and she held back her laughter, if it weren't for Jing Chen's expression being too serious, she must have thought he was deliberately telling a cold joke.
She turned her head to sort out her expression, stretched her knees, and said: "The little monkey snatched my bag, so I went and chased him, and chased him out of the alley, and when I got to the street, there happened to be a carriage passing by, and the little monkey didn't even look at the road, just ran away, and the car almost hit him-" Speaking of this, Yu Shuyin lowered his face, and said angrily:
"Then I met a nosy man, the child cried and cried that he took the opportunity to get sick, and had no money to treat him and was going to die, so the people in the car gave him a face, a scholar who was easy to learn, said that his sister could not die, gave him a sum of money to go home to his sister to see a doctor, persuaded me to be forgiving and forgiving, and let him go."
"So you let him go?" Jingchen asked.
"I scolded the monkey and left," Yu Shu used the hand that was not hurt to pull the grass on the ground, remembering the scene on the street, his heart was sullen, such a big person, he couldn't control his temper, and scolded people on the street, it was really a bit ridiculous.
"You're angry?"
"Hmm."
"For what?"
Yu Shu was silent, for what was the matter, she also asked herself, was it because she was annoyed that the little robber didn't have long eyes and dared to rob her things? Isn't it that the people in the carriage are nosy? Or was it because he pulled the kid and unluckily injured his hand?
She knew very well in her heart that these were not the reasons that made her angry on the street, what made her angry was the child's reckless and hasty behavior that almost lost his arm and leg and lost his life.
Money is an external object, and if you are gone, you will have nothing.
"You're kind."
Yu Shu turned her head inexplicably, looked at the young Taoist priest who praised her on the side with a strange expression, and stretched out her finger to point her nose, "Say me?" β
Jingchen nodded.
"Poof-ha," Yu Shu patted his thigh, burst into laughter, leaned forward and backwards, and was overjoyed.
said that she was kind, she lived for half her life in her last life, and even Yu Lei didn't dare to praise her with this word, she really wanted to laugh at her, no matter how she looked, she didn't have much to do with this word, so he could figure it out.
Jing Chen's eyes were a little confused, I don't know what he said to make her so happy, but when she saw that the young man beside her had bent his eyebrows and eyes, his face was clear, and he lacked the gloomy color of Fang Cai.
"Ha, cough cough," Yu Shu took a few breaths to calm down, turned his head to look at Jing Chen's gaze at her, and felt that he had just gotten carried away, so he cleared his throat embarrassedly, and said shyly:
"Thank you."
"Thanks for what?" Jing Chen was still puzzled.
"You just praised me."
"I'm just telling the truth." Jingchen didn't feel that he had praised her.
Yu Shu was almost blushing, for fear that Jing Chen would say anything amazing, and would make her laugh again, so she quickly stood up on her knees and stood up from the ground, took two steps back, and waved her hand at him:
"I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you in two days."
Every time she said goodbye, she said these two words.
Jingchen still had no nostalgia: "Go ahead." β
Yu Shu walked happily with his steps, and he didn't know where he had flown when he was bored.
β¦
Just as Yu Shu was strolling on the riverbank, the Ji family in the east of the city was another scene.
In the courtyard of the main house, Mrs. Ji sat down, the eldest and second eldest of the Ji family were all present, and the third was absent, in front of these elders, Ji Chongze, the third young master of the Ji family, stood with his head bowed, and raised his eyes from time to time to look at the grandmother who was reading the letter on the seat.
"Huh" Mrs. Ji put down a few pieces of letter paper in her hand and muttered for a while.
The second child, Ji Xiaochun, couldn't sit still first, and asked worriedly: "Mother, what's wrong, what did my father say in the letter?" β
The anxious old lady glanced at the door, and the close-fitting maid went out to get rid of the family, covered the door, and guarded the outside, not letting people approach.
"The Xue family fell in love with Star Swirl and intend to marry our family."
Ji Xiaochun was stunned, "The Xue family? The Xue family in the capital? β
Old Taijun Ji nodded, "It's Xue Shangshu's eldest grandson, a few years older than Star Swirl, because of his early years of study, he has not married yet, Xue Shangshu intends to pick someone from the Taishi Academy, Star Swirl had a chance encounter, and he got his blue eyes, Xue Shangshu mentioned it to your father not long ago." β
Ji Xiaochun grinned and smiled in surprise: "Mother, this, this is a good thing!" The Xue family is a first-class family in the capital, if you look at the Liu family in the city, isn't it because they have climbed into the Xue family, so that they can hold themselves up to a higher level in front of our three families, if Star Swirl marries Xue Shangshu's eldest grandson, this-"
Old Taijun Ji raised his hand to interrupt his words, and beckoned Ji Chongze to step forward:
"Chongze, you are studying in the capital, you know the most about Star Swirl, you can tell me."
Ji Chongze replied respectfully, faced Ji Xiaochun, and said softly, "Father, the fourth sister has a lot of intersections with the seventh prince and the twelfth prince because of her friendship with the county lord of Xiwen, and I was fortunate to meet the two highnesses, and on the fifteenth of last month, the seventh prince quietly gave the fourth sister a handful of jade Ruyi." β
"Smack!" The teacup in Ji Xiaochun's hand fell to the ground, and Ji Xiaohan on the side was also excited, and the two of them turned their faces at the same time to see Ji Taijun's face.
Jade Ruyi! It is rumored that when Empress Ning Zhen was canonized, Emperor Anwu created a purple gold jade Ruyi to her, and later this matter was handed down, and it became a custom among the nobles of the Da'an Dynasty.
Now that these seven princes have sent a handful of jade ruyi, what does it mean!
"Mother, mother." Ji Xiaochun's voice was a little out of tune, and his eyes were red when he thought that his daughter might climb to the imperial family.
Seeing his gaffe, Mrs. Ji snorted coldly and said, "Do you think this is a good thing, it is rumored in the capital, the Seventh Prince is a romantic person, he gave Star Swirl Jade Ruyi, it may be a whim, who can say for sure, what do you think, if the Seventh Prince can get it in the future-what if he is not?" Now the Xue family is waiting for your father's reply, if they reject them, they will definitely provoke this family, and the bamboo basket will be empty in the future, where do you regret it? β
Ji Xiaochun was speechless by Ji Taijun, he didn't smile, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and he looked at his eldest brother sideways, and he also looked dignified.
Climbing with the Xue family, it is possible to lose the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step, reject the Xue family, and it is possible to draw water with a bamboo basket, which was originally a good thing, but it has become a dilemma!
Mrs. Ji patted the coffee table and sighed: "Your father has been dealing with Xue Shangshu for the time being, and he has pressed this matter down, but he can't hold it down for long, it is about our Ji family in the future, you two brothers go back and think about it." β
"By the way, don't talk nonsense in front of my Xuan'er, disturb her mind, she still doesn't know about the Xue family's request to marry, a seventh prince is enough for her to be embarrassed, and she has to hide in her home to live, let's go out, I will also be quiet and think about countermeasures."
