Chapter 214, Contention
After leaving the medical hall, Cijing went to Xiushuizhuang, Xiushuizhuang changed the shopkeeper, Cijing stood at the door for a while, and then turned around and went to Zhuo's house.
Zhuo Yang and Fang Fei warmly welcomed her into the house, and Cijing didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Do you know where Su Xin, the shopkeeper of Xiushuizhuang, has gone?" β
Fang Fei held the teacup in his hand, glanced at Zhuo Yang, Zhuo Yang pondered for a moment, and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know, Su Xin just said that she didn't want to be the shopkeeper of Xiushuizhuang anymore, so she left, she was just hired by our family to take care of Xiushuizhuang, and she left if she wanted to." β
Cijing sighed when he heard this, and said, "That's a pity." β
"Is there anything wrong with the master of the Mirror Palace looking for Su Xin?" Zhuo Yang asked worriedly, he naturally knew Su Xin's temper, and he was worried about whether Su Xin's character would provoke Ci Jing.
"It's not that I'm looking for her, it's her fiancΓ© Jun who is looking for her."
Zhuo Yang and Fang Fei glanced at each other, and Fang Fei suddenly realized: "I see." β
Cijing looked at her, and she continued: "Su Xin brought a set of wedding clothes to the concubine when she came to say goodbye to us, and the concubine also has a cousin who is not married, and she said to let the concubine bring it to my cousin. But that set of wedding dresses is not the size, think about it was the wedding dress she made for herself, that set of wedding dresses whether it is cut shape, or embroidered is the exquisite and beautiful that the concubine has never seen, I am afraid that I will not find such a delicate embroidery in this world, Su Xin is really a pair of skillful hands that all women envy......"
The tone was full of envy and regret, Cijing smiled faintly when he heard this, stood up and said, "Since you don't know, then I won't bother you, farewell." β
Zhuo Yang and Fang Fei also stood up together, and Fang Fei said, "Stay and leave after eating?" You didn't stay long last time, can you accompany your concubine when you come to the capital this time? β
Cijing didn't answer immediately, Fang Fei was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "If the palace master is unwilling, I won't say anything about being a concubine." β
Ci Jing covered his mouth with his hand and smiled, "Instead of letting me accompany you, it is better for Zhuo Yang to accompany your mother and son more, well, or mother and daughter." β
Fang Fei was startled, looked down at his stomach, and then turned his head to look at Zhuo Yang, Zhuo Yang also had a surprised expression, he pursed his lips, waved his sleeves, and turned around to leave Zhuo's house.
I've seen all the places I can see, Cijing returned to the county king's mansion with interest, and the last time I witnessed Cijing's "rectification" Situ Ke's little maid Deng Dengdeng ran over, lowered her head and whispered: "Girl, Lord Situ is here again." β
Cijing raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked to the corridor on the right, and saw several white orchids outside the Moon Gate revealing goose-yellow stamens, a purple figure and another dark figure faintly, about to come this way.
She stopped, a hand suddenly reached over and grabbed her wrist, she raised her head, only to see Sun Xian standing next to her, and said in a deep voice: "Follow me." β
Without waiting for Cijing to agree, he pulled Cijing and walked in the opposite direction, until he came to a garden, where hydrangeas were heavily adorned on the branches, Cijing looked out of the courtyard and said, "How do you know that I will come back at this time." β
"I've been following you." Sun Xian said calmly.
Cijing's mouth opened into a circle, "Could it be that my skills have degraded?" You followed me all the way, I didn't even know? β
Sun Xian looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Can't you think I'm more powerful, so I can follow you silently?" β
Ci Jing blinked, was silent for a moment, and said, "I think I may be more powerful, the reason why you were able to follow me all the way is because I was thinking about something else." β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that Sun Xian was silent and didn't speak, Cijing said again: "What, you don't believe it? Why don't we learn from each other? β
Walk through a corridor, turn left again is a garden, there are not many people in the county king's mansion, there are quite a lot of gardens, it is the middle of summer, the flowers in the garden compete for each other, the grass and vines are verdant, tired and drooping, the bees and butterflies are flying, a lively scene.
Suddenly, I heard a piano sound, intermittent, but it became a tune of its own, Cijing had never heard such a piano sound, but it felt a little familiar.
Walking over a little more, sure enough, it was Guiyue stroking the qin, he was sitting on the rockery, lazy and lazy, not at all like to stroke the qin seriously, one hand on the strings, the other hand carrying a wine jug, plucked a few times, and raised his head to drink a sip of wine, hearing Ci Jing and Sun Xian come over, he paused, put down the wine jug, half lifted his eyelids and said: "Why did you two get here?" β
"This is Brother Sun's house, he can go wherever he wants, but you, as a guest, asked." Without saying a word, he snatched the wine jug from his hand, raised his head and was about to drink, Sun Xian Lin reached over and snatched the wine jug away, and said, "If you want to drink, I'll let someone get it for you." β
Cijing reached out to grab it, "Don't bother so much. β
Guiyue watched with a smile as Sun Xian Lin and Ci Jing fought over a wine jug, he naturally knew why Sun Xian Lin didn't let Ci Jing drink this pot of wine, because this pot of wine was drunk by him.
Sun Xian Lin threw the wine jug at Gui Yue, Gui Yue caught it, and turned his head to look at Sun Xian Lin, Sun Xian Lin beckoned a maid and said, "Go and get two pots of blue and white brew." β
The maid responded, Sun Xian sat down at a stone table, Ci Jing also sat down opposite him, and looked away with his chin propped up, Sun Xian Lin said: "I have already sent someone to find the person you are looking for." β
Ci Jing turned his head in surprise, "Who said I was looking for someone?" β
"Yu Wanting and Li Ai, who live in Huilian Lane, Su Xin, the shopkeeper of Xiushui Village, aren't you looking for them?" Sun Xian fiddled with the teacup on the table, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, as if he was careless.
Ci Jing pursed his lips, "What does it matter to me where they go?" β
"Resignation, you don't have to hide your true thoughts in front of me." Sun Xian raised her eyes to look at her, her stunned face was reflected in her clear eyes, she was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Once bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years." β
"I know what you're worried about?" Sun Xian Lin stretched out his hand and touched her head, "Before you returned to Luming Palace, I knew that Yu Ying wouldn't live long if she didn't take care of her well, and I told him at that time, and he asked me to take good care of you for him." β
Ci Jing stared at him with round eyes, Sun Xian Lin withdrew his hand and looked directly at her, "Even if he didn't say so, I would have done it." β
Guiyue listened to them quietly on the side, a white butterfly landed on his piano, he stretched out his hand, the white butterfly fluttered its wings and flew away, Guiyue hooked the corners of her lips and smiled, saw a purple shadow not far away, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, and lowered his eyes to look at Sun Xian Lian, and said, "Mr. Sun, who is Situ Ke?" β
Hearing this, Sun Xian looked out of the garden, turned his head again, looked at him and said: "Situ Ke is the son of General Situ, and he was the champion of civil and military affairs last year. β
That guy is actually the champion of civil and military affairs......
Cijing remembered Situ Ke, who was stunned by her in the water yesterday, although it was said that her palm used several percent of her internal strength, but because she was in the water, when she was exercising, if the other party was a martial arts practitioner, it should be easy to notice, why was he stunned by himself so easily? Mo didn't mean it, right?
Seeing that Situ Ke and Sun Longyou both came over, Sun Xian stood up, Ci Jing also stood up, Guiyue jumped down from the rockery with the piano in her arms, and several people saluted Sun Longyou, Sun Long You laughed heartily a few times, and said: "Xian Lian, I lost to Master Situ in chess for my father today, why don't you play two games for your father and get back some face for your father?" β
Sun Xian's expression was cold, but the corners of his mouth were still politely decorated with a light smile, and said, "Dad, you can't get under Master Situ, so I won't be ugly." β
"Hey, you can win your father when you are fifteen years old, how can you be ugly? Hurry, hurry, hurry. Sun Longyou waved his hand to let the maid behind him come forward, put away the tea set on the stone table, and put it on the chessboard, Situ Ke arched his hand towards Sun Xian, and said with a smile: "Shizi, please." β
Sun Xian Lin lowered his eyes and looked at the chessboard that had been set up, and then glanced at Situ Ke, Situ Ke still looked at him with a smile, Sun Xian Lin sat down opposite him, holding a sunspot in one hand, and landed on the chessboard almost without hesitation.
Situ Ke was stunned for a moment, the game just now was a game of chess left by him and Sun Longyou, and Sun Xian Lian's son who was now left behind saved this game of chess again. He curled the corners of his lips and smiled, and the white son fell.
The two were just testing each other at first, and then they began to fight with all their might, Sun Longyou, who knew chess, was excited to watch on the side, while Cijing and Guiyue were yawning on the side, but the so-called chess watching was silent, and the two of them didn't dare to say that they wanted to leave, so they watched hard.
It was almost dark in this game of chess, and finally Sun Xian Lin narrowly won with a son, Situ Ke hugged Sun Xian Lin again, this time there was a little more sincerity in his smile, "The son of the world is really powerful, and he is ashamed of himself." β
Sun Xian Lin also hugged his fists, and said politely absentmindedly: "I agreed." β
After sending Situ Ke away, Cijing and Guiyue were about to rest in the room, Sun Xian stopped her and said, "If you see Situ Ke in the future, stay away from him." β
"Even if you didn't say so, I would have done it." Cijing covered his mouth and yawned again, "But then again, it's the first time I've seen you treat someone like this, and you hate him very much?" β
Sun Xian snorted, "He is about the same age as me, he was born in an ordinary civil official family, but his talent is very high, many people like to compare us, so he likes to compare everything with me," Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Ci Jing, turned his head again, and said: "The reason why he is particularly fond of you is also because you appeared in the county king's mansion with me." β
"So he's trying to snatch me from you?" Ci Jing asked.
Sun Xian nodded silently.
"You can tell him that I am a widow who is chaste, and I am waiting for the people of my clan to build me an archway, and he has no hope." Cijing waved her hand, and Guiyue in the back suddenly stepped forward and knocked on her head, "You can't afford to build an archway." β
