Jiang Chutao, who fainted Mr. Zhu, spent an afternoon anxiously, and even ate a bowl of lunch during this period. In the evening, I heard that Mr. Zhu had woken up, and Chu Tao was going to apologize to Mr. Zhu.

Although Chu Tao was afraid of Mr. Zhu, she never thought of fainting Mr. Zhu, not to mention that when the matter reached her mother's ears, she was going to give her a headache again, and she complained with annoyance that she was too impulsive and caused trouble again.

After eating dinner in a hurry, Chu Tao carried two boxes of tea to visit Mr. Zhu, according to Liu, these two boxes of tea were given by the palace, growing in the cliffs of extremely cold places, only monkeys can pick them, and they belong to the goods that money can't buy.

To Chu Tao's surprise, Mr. Zhu did not refuse Chu Tao's visit, but politely asked her to wait in the side hall for a while. After a while, Mr. Zhu came in tremblingly, followed by Xue Congjia. Chu Tao was a little curious about why Xue Congjia appeared here, but she didn't dare to ask more.

Mr. Zhu was also frank, pointing at Xue Congjia and saying: "He is a good seedling for learning, but unfortunately his identity is special, otherwise I would definitely accept him as a disciple." ”

Chu Tao suddenly realized, it turned out that Mr. Zhu admired Xue Congjia a lot, no wonder he had never beaten him, people treated Xue Congjia as a baby!

Xue Congjia glanced at Chu Tao lightly, sorted out a few ancient books that he had just borrowed from Mr. Zhu, and said goodbye to Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu said: "Why should I be in a hurry, sit down for a while, let me ask you, do you think what Miss Jiang said today is reasonable?" ”

Xue Congjia said: "I agree with the sentence that the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise." What Miss Jiang thinks on weekdays, the poems she reads are what they are. ”

Chu Tao pursed her lips and glared at Xue Congjia. Mr. Zhu said: "The old man has read books all his life, and he is quite touched by the opinions of today's girl, how is it not worth talking about love in the world, it has been circulated in the world's scripts and operas for thousands of years, don't you say?" ”

Chu Tao nodded hurriedly, so she listened to Zhu Lao's chatter here for another night, and when she and Xue Congjia said goodbye, it was completely dark again. Chu Tao complained: "Every time I meet you, it must be nothing good, the first time I was bitten by a snake, the second time you were entangled with Xile, and the third time I listened to a lecture here all night. You see, it's getting dark again. ”

Xue Congjia said angrily: "What if it's dark, isn't there a lantern?" ”

Chu Tao said: "As soon as it gets dark, how can I see your face clearly." I've known you for so long, and I haven't seen what you look like. ”

"You don't have eyes." Xue Congjia walked very fast, followed by Jiang Chutao, who was trotting. Chu Tao panted and said, "You go slowly, I can't keep up." ”

Although Xue Congjia snorted disdainfully, his pace slowed down a lot. Along the way, Chu Tao chattered with him a lot, although basically Chu Tao was talking, but the words of the two along the way added up to what he said in a month, Chu Tao asked many questions, such as "What do Xiyi people eat", "Which mountain is the highest mountain in Xiyi", "Do you want to go home" and so on, Xue Congjia was bored and kept silent, or occasionally perfunctory a few words to her. Chu Tao said: "It's really strange that Mr. Zhu didn't hit me after waking up today. ”

Xue Congjia explained: "Everyone thinks he is a pedantic little old man, but in fact, this is not the case, he just has a good face, his body is weak, and he is old, and you dismissed him in front of everyone so that he couldn't get off the stage, so he fainted." If you are close to him, you may find something else out of it by talking to him in private. ”

Chu Tao chuckled twice: "I didn't expect you to look unkind, and you are quite delicate in observing people." ”

Chu Tao said again: "My mother always said that I was full of nonsense, so she always asked me to talk less outside." ”

"Hmm...... It's not full of nonsense, at least I think you're right, my fair lady, a gentleman is good, it's human nature. Xue Congjia said seriously.

Chu Tao nodded seriously: "The lady is you, and the gentleman is Xile." This is my fair lady gentleman. ”

Xue Congjia's face darkened, he threw up his sleeves and strode forward, Chu Tao panted behind him: "Why are you walking fast again, you wait for me." As soon as the words fell, Chu Tao felt that his heart was beating fast, his eyes were black, and he couldn't stand steadily.

Chu Tao has a strange disease, from time to time he will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, dizziness, and in severe cases, he will lose consciousness, and this strange disease will be improved after eating sweets, which is why Chu Tao carries some small snacks with him. The doctor instructed you to eat more tonic materials and pay attention to a light diet.

Xiaohong and Xiaozi followed Chu Tao all the way three or four steps behind the two, and when they saw Chu Tao fainting, they hurriedly ran over with a small flower, Xue Congjia reacted quickly and immediately helped Jiang Chu Tao, who was paralyzed on the ground.

Although Xiaohong was very concerned about Xue Congjia's half-embracing of Jiang Chutao, but the matter was at a critical juncture, Xiaohong said to Xiaozi: "Quickly find two pieces of candy from the purse, Miss didn't eat a few bites at night, she must have made an old mistake." As she spoke, Xiao Zi poured out a piece of beige maltose from her purse and put it into Chu Tao's mouth, and after a while, Chu Tao slowly opened her eyes.

"What's this weird disease?" Xue Congjia half-knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with one hand and wrapping Chu Tao with the other, Chu Tao's half round little face was on his shoulder, and his long eyelashes trembled. After Chu Tao woke up, she blinked her eyes and looked at Xue Congjia carefully, from her point of view, she could only see Xue Congjia's chin, this line is so beautiful, no wonder Xile is obsessed with him, before Chu Tao saw enough, Xue Congjia lowered his head, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw their panicked self in each other's eyes.

Xiao Zi and Xiao Hong took Chu Tao from Xue Congjia's arms, and Xiao Hong said: "The disease brought by Miss Mother's womb must contain a piece of sugar to save her life when she is sick." ”

Chu Tao had just walked around from the ghost gate, and his heart was palpitating, and when he saw Xue Congjia half-kneeling on the ground in order to help himself, his clothes were dirty, and he hurriedly said to Xue Congjia: "Thank you, thank you!" ”

Xue Congjia said quite unnaturally: "Since you have a hidden disease, you still have to pay more attention." Chu Tao's residence is near here, and Xue Congjia walked here with her in order to avoid suspicion, and the two parted.

It was late at night, the candles were about to burn out, a puddle of red oil flowed, looking miserable, like tears shed by a beauty, Xue Congjia did not serve, he added two candles himself, and continued to sit on the square bench and read the ancient books borrowed from Mr. Zhu. The wind blows the bamboo curtains, and the sound of falling leaves is heard in my ears.

Nine years ago, he was only seven years old, before the age of seven was also a brocade and jade food was spoiled by his father, although his father was busy with court politics, but he was particularly fond of himself, people said that he was the chosen son, only three years old to read poetry and books, four years old can write lyrics to poetry, his father personally taught him to ride and shoot, the people in the palace are proud to serve him.

Suddenly, when he was seven years old, he was secretly escorted to Jinling by a team of people and horses, and thrown to this island, never to see his family again. He went from being a high-ranking prince to an embarrassing proton. At first, there was a wet nurse and a personal maid to serve around, and then one day the people on this island got the plague, and he suddenly had a high fever one day, and the people around him were too busy to take care of themselves, and no one cared about him as a humble proton, the nurse and the maid knew a little about medicine, and found some herbs on the island and mashed them and fed them to him, and stayed by the bedside day and night, I don't know how long the burn lasted, and he was finally able to get out of bed and move, but the nurse and the maid were sick and died. He watched his savior die.

At that time, Xiyi's vitality was greatly injured, even if he died in Dongyi, Xiyi did not dare to crusade against Dongyi, and when he died, he died lightly. It was his life to survive.

That was nine years ago, and the maid's voice and appearance had gradually become mottled, and I couldn't remember it clearly, the only thing I remember was that the maid was called Arou. Xue Congjia suddenly remembered Princess Xile who came to visit her brother Xue Ziwen on the island one day, she smiled sweetly and said to herself: "You can call me Arou." ”

Xue Congjia's indescribable disgust, it is enough to have one Arou in this world.

Xue Congjia clenched his fists, he looked back, rows of bookshelves were full of books, the only books that had accompanied him for nine years were these books, and he couldn't count how many such lonely nights he had spent in Dongyi. Xu drank too many herbs when he was a child, and the smell he could recall was the smell of books with the aroma of herbs and the bitter smell of herbs. But for some reason, I smelled a faint scent of flowers.

Tonight's heart is restless, he doesn't know why.

Xue Congjia took out a purple-shirted bow from the shelf, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, pressed it on the Xuan, and aimed at the straw target hanging on the opposite wall, and an arrow flew out and was firmly inserted into the bull's-eye. He took the arrow, cleaned it up, and blew out the candle.
