Chapter 10: Goodbye
"It's time for me to go. After I'm gone, you'll still have to practice diligently, and you'll be successful in a few years. Chu Chu was quite satisfied with the results of Xiao Meng Jiang's practice this night.
Chu Chu took out a book of swordsmanship from his arms, cautiously handed it to Xiao Meng Jiang, and said seriously: "If there are any moves that you have forgotten, or if there is something you don't understand, you can open this book and take a good look, there are my experiences and notes on it, read it when you can't figure it out, it should be able to help you." ”
"I thought you didn't have a book, so I had to keep it in my head." Xiao Meng Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Meng Jiang didn't believe in his memory very much, and in a few months, he would forget all the things that Chu Chu had worked so hard to teach all night.
"I'm afraid that your pig brain will be forgotten in a few days, and I have spent so much energy in vain, sir." Chu Chu poked Xiao Meng Jiang's forehead with his pointed fingers and said.
"Okay, good, I'll practice diligently, keep it in mind, you can rest assured." Xiao Meng Jiang hurriedly covered his stabbed forehead and said.
Chu Chu glared at Xiao Meng Jiang and said, "Don't fight for me, if anyone dares to bully you, you will bully back, but you were brought out by me, do you know?" “
"Yes, yes, I will never disgrace you. It's getting late, so get on your way. After speaking, Xiao Meng Jiang hurriedly sent Chu Chu out, and a carriage outside the door had already been prepared. Xiao Meng Jiang watched him get into the carriage, "You take care, have a smooth journey." ”
Chu Chu nodded, and wanted to ask for something, but when he thought about it, his ears and eyes were mixed outside, and it was not suitable for him to say most important things, and he had arranged the important people and Xiao Meng Jiang's whereabouts. If there is something they can't solve, they can also notify themselves in time. Chu Chu got into the carriage.
Xiao Meng Jiang has always had a question buried in his heart for a long time, and every time he wanted to ask, the words came to his mouth and he swallowed it back. This time, Chu Chu is going back, and he doesn't know where he wants to go back and how long he will see her again. If this question is not asked at this time, I am afraid that there will be no answer for a long time. "Chu Chu, I have a question for you. You must answer me. Chu Chu pulled the curtain and looked at Xiao Meng Jiang with a smile. You taught me martial arts, bought me weapons, bought me new clothes, put Jialan in the heart protection jade and handed it to me, Chu Chu, why are you helping me so much? “
"Because I owe it to you, and it was I who caused you to lose your mother so early. I will repay your mother's kindness for the rest of my life. However, these words can't be said to Xiao Meng Jiang now, Chu Chu admitted that he was a liar who concealed the truth, although he was unwilling to lie to Xiao Meng Jiang, he couldn't confide the truth to her. He was afraid that she would not be able to bear the fact that she would not be able to soothe the pain of a child losing her mother.
"Why do you think that?" Chu Chu tried to pull out a smile.
"Is my daddy asking you for something? You were entrusted to be so good to me? Xiao Meng Jiang thought about it.
"It's not." Chu Chu lowered his gaze and tried his best not to look at Xiao Meng Jiang's innocent big eyes.
"Then tell me why?" Xiao Meng Jiang wanted to ask what was going on.
Chu Chu stretched out his beautiful index finger, hooked it, and motioned for Xiao Meng Jiang to come closer. "Because...... I'll tell you next time. Chu Chu was smiling when he said this, but there were tears in his eyes.
Xiao Meng Jiang didn't know why, why did Chu Chu cry? Chu Chusheng is extremely good-looking, even if he is crying and laughing, he can be so beautiful that it makes people breathe stagnantly. He smiled, like a peach blossom blooming, scorching its bloom. His unintentional tears seemed to drop
The morning dew rolling off the delicate petals shimmers with dazzling light. Xiao Meng Jiang lost his mind for a while.
Chu Chu called softly: "Let's go." “
As soon as the groom lifted the rope, the carriage began to run. Chu Chu lifted the curtain and glanced at Xiao Meng Jiang deeply, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his heart. In the end, he couldn't help but want to leave a goodbye so that they could have each other
concerned. "Don't think too much about me, we'll meet again." Chu Chu's words made Xiao Meng Jiang wake up instantly and get goosebumps on the ground.
Xiao Meng Jiang looked at the carriage and went away. He stuck out his tongue and said, "Who would miss you, I finally sent the nightmare away, and I can sleep well." “
Outside the ten-mile pavilion, a group of cavalry waited outside the pavilion. If the passers-by have a little eyesight, they can guess that this team is not ordinary, although everyone is only dressed in civilian clothes, but everyone is tall, neat, and uniform
Solemn. Even if there is no enemy in front of him, he can still maintain a high sense of discipline and never relax at all. The war horses are strong and strong, and they are all good horses. One can't help but wonder what kind of people are qualified to command this army.
"Phew." The muffle reined in his horse, and a carriage stopped at the front of the line. The cavalry led by him dismounted and knelt down on one leg, "Lord, all the members of the first battalion of the Dragon Banner are here." “
A man in Xuanyi got down from the carriage and said, "Very good, all the soldiers have come here to greet the palace." If Xiao Meng Jiang saw the face of the man in Xuanyi, he would definitely recognize that this was Chu Chu himself, who had just left his home.
"How's the situation in the palace?" Chu Chu asked.
"The Maharaja is ill, he has not been to the court for a few days, there has been a riot in the west of the Chu State recently, according to the dark information, the Qi State and the Second Highness have joined forces, preparing to join forces with the outside and waiting for the opportunity to attack the Chu State." Xiao, commander of the first battalion of the Dragon Banner Soldiers
Jun replied in a deep voice.
"The second brother is really not worry-free, he has been suppressed for so many years, and he still wants to fight for power. If he is really suitable to be the successor of Emperor Chu, I may not be able to give way. It's just that he has ambition, but he doesn't have the bearing and courage of a king
Force. If he ascends to the throne, he is afraid that he will be taken advantage of and bring harm to innocent people. Chu Chu sighed and said.
"I also hope that the lord can return to China as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation." Several generals led by him pleaded in unison.
Chu Chu waved his sleeves and let out a long whistle. A black steed galloped towards Chu Chu, stopped sideways in front of Chu Chu, Chu Chu smiled, reached out and gently stroked the hair on the black horse's neck, and said happily: "Taiyi, long time no see, I."
Old man, are you okay? Half closed her eyes and craned her neck, enjoying the caress of her master.
"I'm going to take you for a long time again, are you very happy?" Taiichi hissed softly in excitement.
"Let's go." Chu Chu jumped high and easily got on the horse. "Let's go." As soon as the pronunciation fell, all the staff were neatly aligned and marched in the direction of Chu State.
After Chu Chu left, Xiao Meng Jiang was not as happy as he imagined. She lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, "I'm so angry, I don't sleep!" After saying that, he got up and looked around to find some work. In the end, she really couldn't find anything to do, so she sulked and sat in the yard in a daze. Less than half a day after Chu Chu left, Xiao Meng Jiang felt a little irritable and lonely, after all, he was a friend who had been with him for a long time, and it was not suitable to leave all of a sudden. Xiao Meng Jiang remembered the sword book left by Chu Chu, so she took out the sword book, carefully observed every movement, carefully read the experience and experience recorded by Chu Chu on each page, and figured out the essentials of each move. Whenever she figured out the subtlety of the sword moves, Xiao Meng Jiang couldn't help but be excited, and she gestured while holding the book, and then she simply put down the book, picked up the sword, and danced the sword in the courtyard.
Within a few days, Xiao Meng Jiang's frustrated mood was quickly replaced by busy work and study. Jia Da Caishen often takes Xiao Meng Jiang to various stores to observe and learn, and introduces Xiao Meng Jiang to the shopkeepers of each store as his successor, and repeatedly asks the old helpers in charge to take care of Xiao Meng Jiang. While handing over tea, he asked: "In the future, I will ask the shopkeeper to teach the juniors, and the old man is grateful." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied respectfully: "Where are you, if it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be the shopkeeper of this store." You can rest assured, we will do our best to bring Xiao Meng Jiang. ”
Even if Jia Dacai God goes to the restaurant to talk about business with people, he will always bring Xiao Meng Jiang. In order to cover up Xiao Meng Jiang's identity, Jia Da Caishen will specially order her to wear the clothes of the little guy, on the surface, Xiao Meng Jiang is a little guy who serves with him, but in fact, he wants Xiao Meng Jiang to see how he talks about business next to him. The best learning is to observe and experience, some experiences and methods, can not be explained in one or two sentences, only when you encounter more things, in the complicated and troublesome things, in order to exercise your ability to solve problems and methods.
Jia Dacai God was invited to participate in the banquet of the Lincheng Chamber of Commerce today, but he did not expect an unexpected guest to come to the banquet on this day.
It was Xue Yuanwai, the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, who invited Jia Dacai God to the banquet. Xue Yuanwai sat beside him, and there were more than a dozen figures with heads and faces in Lincheng. One of the wealthy businessmen looked different from the other dozen or so wealthy businessmen and officials, and seemed a little out of place. He was extremely young, noble and handsome, and he was more like a well-mannered scholar than a businessman.
The table is staggered, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, so unhappy. However, the young man was not included in the drink. It's not that no one toasted him, but he politely declined, and none of the toasters were unhappy, because there was always Xue Yuanwai to block the wine for him, and the young man was also very good at talking, giving the other party enough faces. After a few times, everyone found it boring, and no one invited him to have a drink anymore.
Xiao Meng Jiang was curious, quietly walked behind them, pretended to be a little guy who served tea and poured water, and asked the young man softly: "My lord, do you need to change the pot of tea?" “
The young man looked up at Xiao Meng Jiang and said gently, "Okay." ”
At this time, a gray-clothed man stopped Xiao Meng Jiang's hand that wanted to hold the teapot, and said to the young man in a deep voice: "Adults can't. This person's identity is suspicious, so I'll do it. After speaking, he took the teapot, gestured to the guys around him, and turned to leave.
The young man smiled and said softly, "Don't be nervous, little brother, my companion is just a little careless. Thank you for your willingness to help me change the tea. ”
"Nothing, nothing." Xiao Meng Jiang replied repeatedly, "I have a small question, why are the other guests drinking, but only you don't drinking?" ”
The young man smiled slightly: "I don't like to drink. I've never been in the wine either.
"How's that going to work, haven't you heard a word?" If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky. If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth. Wine is a big treasure! If you don't drink, you're missing out on one of life's great pleasures. And someone once said, 'There is truth in wine', if you don't drink, how can you know what's in wine." If you are a literati and don't drink, there will be less poetry. If you are a member, there is no wine, and there is less taste. “
The young man laughed and said, "It's the first time I've heard someone so good at drinking, and it's very interesting." However, I really can't get into alcohol, and when I do, I'm going to be a different person, and no matter what happens, I can't fix it. “
It was the first time that Xiao Meng Jiang had heard of such a strange thing, and when he looked closely at the young man's expression, he didn't feel like he was lying.
