Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Afternoon Study
It's someone she is very important to.
Jing Zhan repeated this sentence, and finally he decided to let him go, and he couldn't ask for any valuable information from his mouth left and right.
The dark and damp dungeon was full of the smell of decay, the further you went inside, the stronger the smell of decay, Jing Zhan hadn't smelled this smell for a long time, and her white slender fingers pinched out a snow-white silk handkerchief embroidered with gold silk lines to cover her mouth and nose, trying to block the unpleasant smell that was seamless and inaccessible. It was terrible, his snow-white boots were very stained on his shoes, and he knew he should have worn black boots today.
"My lord, why are you here in person?" It was the head of the prison who spoke, and when he saw Jing Zhanlai, he was startled, and hurriedly got up from the bench to greet him, "What do you command, my lord?" β
"What happened to Zhao Gang?"
"Lord Hui, that Zhao Gang has a very hard mouth." When it comes to Zhao Gang, he also hates it so much, and the punishments are a lot of force, big and small, and he doesn't open his mouth when he passes out. "So far, I haven't been able to pry anything out of his mouth, and I have broken one of his arms."
Hearing this, Jing Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, the broken arm was expected, and his people never dared to disobey him.
The man saw that Jing Zhan's face was different, and then said, "If the adult is too light, I will cut off one of his legs." β
Jing Zhan raised his hand and said, "No need, find a doctor to treat him today, spare him from dying, I have my own use, you come with your ears." β
"So, you understand?"
"The little one understands, and the thing will be done."
"Whoever knows about it, you can deal with it."
"Yes, sir."
Now that the matter is clear, he does not want to stay in the dungeon for longer, he pinched the handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose and turned to leave, and after a cup of tea, he saw him come out of his own rockery, and it turned out that the entrance to this dungeon was in the rockery.
I didn't sleep all night last night, but this time I'm in good spirits, and I'm not sleepy near noon, but I'm a little hungry.
After a turn of thought, he went to his own courtyard, where there were now people living in others, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was a little hesitant, and he still entered the courtyard after a short pause, and when did he become so timid.
"Fugui, I didn't expect you to be so skillful! It's smarter than Aunt Zhao's hand, look, am I particularly good-looking today? β
People come before they hear anything.
"That is, of course, my hands are very skillful, laundry and cooking, hair curling, embroidery, there is nothing I am not good at. It's just a pity that I can't find a decent headdress in this house, so I can only use a ribbon instead, otherwise the girl's hairstyle today will look very good! β
"It's pretty." Rong Hua happily looked sideways at the mirror, and then sat back on the stool with some melancholy.
"What's wrong with the girl?"
"I just think it's a little messy."
"Girl, are you looking for someone? Don't worry, our adults are amazing, since he promised to find someone, I believe that the result will be soon. Fugui comforted Rong Hua, and turned his head to see his master hurriedly saluting.
Jing Zhan didn't pay attention, and his good-looking eyes looked straight at Rong Hua.
"You're almost well?"
The cold voice revealed a hint of concern, and Rong Hua slowly blushed, "Well, it's almost okay, thank you for your concern." β
"Then let's eat."
Rong Hua swallowed a mouthful of saliva uncontrollably, how could he escape Jing Zhan's eyes if he moved a little, his little head hung down, he didn't even have the courage to look at himself, and when he heard that there was something to eat, he stared at himself boldly with his eyes, like a cat. He unconsciously hooked his lips and chuckled, and praised Rong Hua's new hair ornament in a good mood: "The hair is so pleasing to the eye, why is the hair so short?" Not all women in the Great Song Kingdom have long hair. Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, thinking in his heart that it was difficult to be forced by someone.
"I, I'm not from the Song Kingdom, in our place, regardless of men and women, it is allowed to keep as long hair as you want, I have been used to having short hair since I was a child, and I have kept my hair since I came here, but it grows too slowly." Rong Hua stroked his short hair, saw him frown slightly, and then asked, "I believe that it won't be long before my hair grows extraordinarily long." β
Jing Zhan nodded and sat down at the dining table by himself, and as soon as he raised his hand, someone brought a copper basin filled with water to clean his hands.
In the golden copper basin, a few dried petals were floated, but they were very lined with the sleeve-length hands.
Rong Hua stared at Jing Zhan and washed her hands like this, and only when someone next to her came over with water did she react and withdraw her gaze.
The one who carried the water was a little boy with clear eyebrows, he knelt on the ground, put the copper basin on the ground, and took Rong Hua's hand to help her wash, Rong Hua refused, she thanked her and said that she could wash it.
It's a person who won't be happy, Jing Zhan thought to himself.
Jing Zhan is very quiet when he eats, he basically doesn't make any sound, he sits very straight, he doesn't pick when he eats, and he will eat a few bites of each dish.
"Master Jing, is there any news from Zhao Gang?"
"There is news, it is estimated that it will not take long to find someone, and when eating, don't speak." Jing Zhan casually made up lies.
"yes, got it. Thank you, Lord Jing. β
"You can wait in peace."
"Hmm!" Rong Hua's face was full of gratitude.
It's so naΓ―ve and easy to coax. Although her identity and background can't be found, it is certainly not simple, when did the emperor specifically ask himself to protect someone? Looking at the person opposite, happiness is so directly expressed on the face, undisguised, exposed in front of people who are not familiar with him.
"I'm going to the study, you can rest."
"Can I go? There are definitely a lot of books in the study. β
There are indeed quite a few, and there are also a lot of classified documents.
Rong Hua saw Jing Zhan's hesitation and hurriedly said, "I won't take your things indiscriminately, when the time comes, I will read whichever book you show me." β
Jing Zhan nodded.
The study is very large, and there is a special handle at the door. Sunlight shines through the paper windows on the bookshelves, and the only sound in the quiet study is the sound of flames burning wood.
"What books do you like to read?"
The sun shone on Jing Zhan's side face, and his fair skin became more and more pink.
Rong Hua swallowed his saliva uncontrollably. The small movements Jing Zhan naturally saw in full view, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, ripples, and his gaze when he looked down at Rong Hua also softened.
"I, I want to see the ones with pictures, there are some differences between the words we have there and the words here, and I may not recognize the words that are too complicated."
Jing Zhan raised his eyebrows, the text was different, it seemed that he was really not from the Song Kingdom, "Then you just read this book, this book is about some humanities and customs, it is witty and humorous to read, and the pictures look very interesting." "The most important thing is that the paintings in this book are all colored.
Unlike ordinary books, this book is twice the size of ordinary books, and is called Mountains and Rivers. It's not so much a book as an atlas.
Jing Zhan handed the book to Rong Hua and sat down at the desk to deal with his own affairs, without looking at Rong Hua again.
In the silent study, there was only the rustle of paper colliding, one person on the table, one person under the table, inexplicable harmony.
The paintings in the mountains and rivers are extremely good-looking, and the article is witty and humorous as Jing Zhan said, according to common sense, she should read it with relish at this time, but her eyes and thoughts are always attracted by the person in front of her.
Serious people are always the best looking.
He carefully flipped through the folds in his hand, read carefully, sometimes frowned, then picked up the brush and dipped some red ink to write and draw, sometimes he breathed a long sigh of relief, and the expression on his face was incomprehensible.
She shamefully wished that she was the brush he held in his hand......
The quiet afternoon was suddenly interrupted.
"My lord, Zhao Gang found it."
