Chapter 44: Innovation
After dealing with Mama's affairs, Jiang Ci went back to Heming Courtyard non-stop, and in a hurry on the road, small beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Pushing open the door and looking up, I saw that Wei Wei had fallen asleep on the table, while the pastries placed on the exquisite plate were still lying there neatly, not moving at all.
Jiang Ci slowed down, crept down on the empty chair beside her, stretched out his hand and slowly swam in the direction of Wei Wei's hand, gently rolled up her sleeve, and wanted to check her injuries.
His series of movements were as gentle as a goose feather, for fear of hurting her again.
When the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and those red and swollen cramps appeared in front of him, Jiang Ci still couldn't help but purse his mouth, and his plump and soft lips had been bitten by his teeth, and they were flushed with a trace of transparent blood red.
Some of them had faded red and swollen marks, and many new wounds had been added, which were attached to her white and tender arms; Some of them have broken skin, and the blood holes that seep out of the cracks have become scarred.
Seeing this scene in front of him, he began to resent himself for being too light!
At this time, Wei Wei suddenly woke up, Jiang Ci hurriedly withdrew his hand, his eyes glanced to the side, and he looked like he had done nothing.
She first stretched her waist, opened her mouth and yawned without any image, and after seeing the people around her, she smiled and showed a beautiful little dimple: "Jiang Ci, you are here!" ”
Jiang Ci didn't answer her question directly, he stared at her arm and asked, "Does it still hurt?" ”
Wei Wei didn't quite understand what he was referring to, and followed his eyes for a long time, only to know that he was referring to the injury he was being whipped by Mama Wicker: "You said this!" It doesn't hurt anymore! She rubbed her little head and said, but as if she remembered something, she poked her head over and asked, "Jiang Ci, you don't blame Mama, right?" ”
Sure enough, it's still a child's mind, no matter how vicious others are, you will still care about it......
"She treated you like that, you are still worried about her, why don't you ask me what I am doing dressed like this, and besides, if there is such a thing in the future, you are not allowed to hide it from Young Master Ben, do you hear, you flesh-faced bag!"
Jiang Ci rudely stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and the girl just puffed out her cheeks to look at him, and the unsmart little brain melon realized that he was not like a normal son.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and both laughed in unison.
He laughed at her innocence, and she laughed at his funny look.
At this time, there were two knocks outside the door: "Young master, the master asked you to go to Wenyun Hall." ”
The voice of the little servant was still a little trembling, presumably Prime Minister Jiang already knew about Mama.
"Got it." Jiang Ci turned his head and replied to the figure in front of the door.
"Dad is looking for me, I'll go first." He put down the hand that was pinching Wei Wei's face, got up and was about to leave, and two fingers of red blush were left on her white porcelain cheeks.
"Ah, you're going to leave again, then Wei Wei didn't wait for you, I just wanted to wait for you to eat a small pastry before falling asleep......"
Wei Wei kicked her little feet and pouted with her childishness.
Before he looked back, he could imagine Wei Wei's puffing up, and he put his hands behind his back and said, "If you don't eat it again, the pastry won't be hot, and it won't taste good." ”
"That, that, Wei Wei is welcome! It's, it's not that I'm hungry, it's the little pastries that make me eat them! ”
When the girl behind her heard this, she hurriedly picked up a few pieces and put them in her mouth.
Jiang Ci felt a warm heart just now, and this little conscienceless person would also think of himself, but now, it was too fast to slap his face! Sure enough, delicious food is still the first place in her heart.
Isn't that her, though? Gluttonous, not smart, petty and confused, and always doing things that make him laugh and cry, among the virtues that the girl's family should have, this guy probably only has a cute face.
He smiled and shook his head, glanced back at her, and then went out the door and walked towards Wenyun Hall.
"Smack!"
Jiang Cicai stepped into the threshold of Wenyun Hall, and the angry Prime Minister Jiang Cheng threw a porcelain teacup at him, and the moment he landed, the best cup shattered completely in front of him, and the tea in the cup also splashed him.
"Jiang Ci, I'll give you a chance to explain to us, what the hell is going on, you give me a fifteen-ten!"
Jiang Ci was about to speak, but Prime Minister Jiang Cheng took the lead and held him accountable in a strict voice, his beard was shaking in front of his angry lips, and he gasped for breath.
Mrs. Jiang on the side also hurriedly stroked his chest, smoothed his breath, and looked at Jiang Ci anxiously: "Resignation!" Daddy has been obedient to you since you were a child, but now it seems that she has spoiled you! When did you learn to punish people privately! Although this grandma is now a subordinate of our house, no matter how you say it, she was also a person in the palace, so it is reasonable that you should not treat her like this! Look at you, make your daddy angry. ”
When Jiang Ci heard this, he was angry, and his emotions were a little out of control and said: "Reasonable? In what kind of affection, and in what kind of reason? Is she, an evil mother, worthy of these four words? In my opinion, she is a woman with a Buddha's mouth and a snake heart! Dad, mother, you don't know how this evil grandmother treats Wei Wei in private, if there is a slight mistake in the embroidered clothes, she will use wicker to draw her hands! also threatened the embroidery girls not to tell us about it, threatening the lives of their families! This kind of poisonous woman, I think that the punishment of twenty sticks is too light! ”
When the two elders heard this, they were all shocked, and they couldn't believe it, obviously, this grandmother was so kind and benevolent in front of them, but they didn't expect that they were so vicious behind their backs!
Prime Minister Jiang was so angry that he clenched the handrail, and the strength was almost pinched into powder: "What a grandmother, she is so bold, she is so bold in my Prime Minister's Mansion, and she dares to do it to Wei'er in private!" ”
"It's all because the concubine looked away at the beginning, but she ...... He has attracted such a wicked man, and he has harmed his children......"
After Mrs. Jiang, who was already sentimental, heard the truth, her tear ducts seemed to collapse, and she couldn't stop crying.
"Madame, don't blame yourself." Prime Minister Jiang put his arm around Mrs. Jiang's shoulders and comforted her, then raised his head and said to Jiang Ci: "Ci'er, it was your father and mother who blamed you, this evil grandmother, you should be punished!" I don't know the rules if I don't punish her, no matter who she is, the celebrity in front of her, if she touches the people in my prime minister's house, she will be guilty! ”
Then he turned his head to the butler who was guarding the side; "Fu Heng, when her injuries heal, expel her, this mansion can't tolerate such a fierce and vicious wicked woman!"
"Yes, sir." The butler arched his hand, bent down, and responded sonorously and forcefully.
"The child also thanked Daddy! Daddy See! ”
When Jiang Ci heard this, he also thanked Prime Minister Jiang excitedly, after all, this evil mother is also worried about staying in the mansion, and she may not come up with any way to target Wei Wei in the future, besides, Wei Wei is a stupid girl, she doesn't know how to say it when she is wronged, and she helps the wicked person to speak, which is inevitably worrying.
"Ci'er, this time my father and mother know that you are concerned about Wei'er, but if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, it is better to talk to your father and mother first, so as not to worry us again." As soon as the words fell, he seemed to remember something again, and suddenly added: "As soon as this anger comes to my heart, it is easy to forget things, and I almost missed all the important things, you will go back to take care of it in a while, and tomorrow morning, you will set off to Qingyan." ”
This Qingyan is the peach source of the mountains and rivers, Zhong Lingyuxiu, and because of this place all the year round like spring, the flowers are numerous, and the flowering period is also longer, it is selected as the place where the Hundred Flowers Banquet is held, and it is also praised by the world as the "flower capital".
But this is obviously ten days away from the day of departure, why is the sudden change so urgent?
Jiang Ci couldn't help but ask Prime Minister Jiang Cheng: "Dad, this is from Sheng'an to Qingyan, it will take five days at most, why do you want the child to leave tomorrow, is there anything wrong on the way?" ”
Prime Minister Jiang sighed slightly and waved his hand: "If that's the case, maybe it's better." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ci's heart was furious, could it be that there was anything worse than this? When he was puzzled, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng went on to explain the reason.
"The chief examiner of this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is Lord Yan, he is an old man who has been in charge of several sessions of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and he will handle it, so it stands to reason that there will be no chaos. But who knows, a few days ago, Lord Yan suddenly seemed to have changed as a person, and he had always been strict and rigid about the old, and he actually proposed to the saint to innovate the assessment items of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the saint felt that it was novel, so he agreed. No, I just reported that this time I will arrange a residence for the sons of each family in the order of achievement, so my father will let you leave tomorrow. ”
When Jiang Ci heard this, he came to the spirit and raised his eyebrows, the reason why he was reluctant to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet before was that he was tired of those poems and paintings; Second, I don't like this perennial old entry and those old antiques, think about it for half a month to see the pedantic old stone face to live, don't do it!
But now that I think about it, this innovation is novel, and even arranging the residence is in such an interesting way, it seems that this old man Yan is a 10,000-year-old elm brain!
"Ci'er, Ci'er, are you listening to your father?"
Seeing that Jiang Ci was stunned for a while, Prime Minister Jiang patted the table before calling him back, and he hurriedly saluted: "The child is rude, I hope that the father will bear with me, and the child will go back to pack the package immediately!" ”
Before Prime Minister Jiang could continue to ask, Jiang Ci left quickly, and this cheerful little figure couldn't help but make Prime Minister Jiang a little puzzled.
Is this still my son who didn't want to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet even if he was killed?
