Li Jingjue scratched her head and said, "I was just about to buy a set of books and some paper and ink, so I left a tael of silver." He looked at his sister's face and asked, "Can't I take it?" But he said, this is your salary in the Treasure Hunting Pavilion. ”

Li Jingshan: "......"

She went to Beijing to study, although she still retained her position in the Minzhou Jingbao Pavilion, but ...... Could it be that in ancient times, there was such a benefit of paid study? She felt it necessary to confirm the truth of the matter with the other students.

"Come to me if you're short of money in the future."

Li Jingjue nodded in response, "Well, I see." Actually, I also take some work of copying books in the academy now, and my daily expenses are enough. You don't have to worry. ”

Li Jingshan helped her younger brother put away his clothes, watched Li Jingjue's classmates walk by, greeted him happily, and suddenly asked, "Ah Jue, I see that most of your classmates seem to have jade pendants hanging from their waists, why don't you bring them?" ”

"It's not just Peiyu, sometimes there will be hairpins at parties." Li Jingjue said with a smile, "The capital is different from our Minzhou, and it is much more prosperous. Most of the people who entered the Guozijian were the children of official eunuchs, and they already had the habit of wearing jade decoration, and they were also a symbol of status. I just haven't seen the right one yet. ”

Although Li Jingjue is not as promiscuous and immersed in the jewelry industry as her sister, she has also been exposed to it since she was a child, so she naturally looks down on ordinary jade, and a good jade pendant is worth a lot of money, and Li Jingjue must be reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy it.

Li Jingshan saw it in her eyes, her heart moved, and she smiled, "Since it is indispensable for entertainment, how can my sister let you lose your identity." In two days, I will give you two pieces of fine jade pendants, and you can just wear them. ”

"No, not really." Li Jingjue waved her hand again and again, "My mother and you have also taught me since I was a child that I can't love vanity. Besides, you don't have a lot of money......"

"This is not for you to wear for nothing, it is to promote the Treasure Hunt." Li Jingshan smiled and nodded his forehead, "The store also often asks guys to wear new jewelry on their bodies to attract customers." I'll apply to the young master, and if there is a suitable one, you can also wear one and do publicity in the academy. If it works, you can help Jingbao Pavilion say all the good things and praise it big, big. It's best to be able to sell a few. ”

"I see! That's fine, I'm going to spare no effort to publicize it. Li Jingjue suddenly realized, and approached her sister and asked in a low voice, "If I can really bring in a few orders, will I still have a commission?" ”

Li Jingshan sneered, "You little money fan." Thinking too much! ”

The two talked and laughed, it was almost noon, Li Jingshan took her younger brother to the restaurant for lunch, "After dinner, accompany me to visit...... Old friend. ”

Li Jingjue looked at the recipe and looked up in surprise when she heard the words, "Sister, you also have an old friend in the capital?" What deceased? ”

Li Jingshan thought about it carefully, and also felt that it was inappropriate to say "old man", so she had to say: "It's my life-saving benefactor, Zhenyuan General Chu Tiankuo." ”

She briefly told Li Jingjue about her relationship with Chu Tiankuo, and Li Jingjue stroked her palms and sighed, "Sure enough, it's a hero!" I'm going to make friends with people like this. Let's eat quickly, I can't wait to meet him! ”

However, when he arrived at Chu Tiankuo's mansion, he was empty, and the porter said that General Chu was still in the barracks and had not returned.

"As for when I will return home, I have not yet decided." The porter replied, "It depends on the military affairs in the camp." Sometimes it is not until it gets dark that I come back. ”

Although Li Jingshan's two sisters and brothers were disappointed, they couldn't, so they had to hand over the gift box and worship stickers they brought to the porter, please tell them on their behalf, and then turned around and walked back.

Li Jingjue walked on the road, and sighed vigorously to her sister, asking that she must take him to meet this great benefactor and hero next time. Li Jingshan was dealing with her younger brother, and when she saw a ragged beggar walking across from her, she gave way to the side.

But he didn't want the beggar to walk towards them quickly, and almost staggered past them, when he suddenly splashed a large bucket of liquid in his hand on Li Jingshan's head and face!

Li Jingjue was stunned for a moment when she suddenly changed, and then she came back to her senses in Li Jingshan's painful exclamation, shouting and chasing two steps, but saw that the beggar had lost the broken bucket in his hand, and quickly fled to the corner of the street, dodging a few times and disappearing.

Li Jingjue ran back to help her sister, and saw that her head and face were dripping, and her clothes were full of dark blue liquid, with a pungent smell of dye, she was covering her face in pain and moaning, and hurriedly asked anxiously, "Sister, where did you hurt?" ”

"Eyes ......," Li Jingshan's voice was full of frightened crying, "My eyes hurt hotly. ”

Li Jingjue also panicked, and hurriedly helped Li Jingshan to walk forward, "Let's hurry up and find a medical center!" ”

Li Jingshan regained a little composure, took Li Jingjue's hand and said, "You go to the people on the side of the road to ask for some water, rinse me first." ”

Li Jingjue hurriedly responded and helped Li Jingshan to walk to the side of the road. At this moment, Li Jingshan heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the street. She couldn't see with her eyes, and was worried about whether it was someone who was not good for her and returned, but then Chu Tiankuo's surprised voice came, "Miss Li!?" What are you...... What happened? ”

Li Jingshan let go of her heart, only to find that she was so nervous that her hands and feet were weak. Just as he was about to answer, Li Jingjue had already preemptively shouted, "You must be General Chu." My sister's eyes have been splashed by the wicked, please save her! ”

Chu Tiankuo's face sank, leaned down and leaned over the horse, and as soon as the ape arm stretched out, he hugged Li Jingshan to the horse, and dropped a sentence, "I'll take her back to the house to deal with it, and you will follow her immediately." In Li Jingjue's stunned eyes, the horse rode away quickly.

Engaged in the place to the general's mansion, it is only a matter of time. Chu Tiankuo dismounted with Li Jingshan in his arms and strode towards the mansion, Li Jingshan heard the voice and struggled gently in his arms, "General, I can go by myself." ”

Chu Tiankuo was just confused for a while, and now when he heard Li Jingshan say, he was also afraid of ruining her reputation, so he hurriedly put people down and shouted: "Go and get a bearer!" Get a doctor now! ”

Fortunately, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion is a capable person, and without saying a word, he arranged it in an orderly manner, carrying people to carry people, fetching water, and looking for doctors.

By the time Li Jingjue ran back to the general's mansion panting, Li Jingshan had already washed her hands and face, and was being taken by the housekeeper to change her clothes.

After a while, the doctor arrived, and after checking the pulse, he asked, "Can the girl see if she tries to open her eyes?" ”

“…… I can't see it, and it's dark blue in front of me. Li Jingshanrao has a strong personality, and her voice can't help but tremble slightly at this time

The doctor twisted his beard and thought for a moment, then asserted, "The girl has injured her eyes with the juice of the dye. Indigo juice is usually extracted from indigo grass, which is slightly toxic to the plant, and after being made into a dye, coarse salt and sour vinegar will be added in order to fix the color. These are things that hurt the eyes......"

Chu Tiankuo saw that Li Jingshan's sister and brother became more and more embarrassed the more they listened, and interrupted the doctor's Luo Yan in a rough voice, "You just said how to treat it, can it be cured?" ”

This roar brought out the murderous aura on the battlefield, which frightened the doctor and almost knocked over the medicine box he brought to the ground. He shuddered, "I specialize in gynecology and pediatrics, internal organ irregularities, bruises, skin athlete's foot, and all kinds of incurable diseases. But he is not very proficient in ophthalmology, so for the sake of today, he can only give the girl some distilled water to wash her eyes, and please order the others to be smart. ”

Putting down a small porcelain vase, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Chu Tiankuo asked his subordinates to help Li Jingshan wash her eyes, while listening to Li Jingjue tell what happened. At the end, he frowned and asked, "Who did Miss Li offend?" ”

Li Jingshan thought about it carefully and shook her head helplessly. Chu Tiankuo knew Li Jingshan's temperament, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "So it's wanton to find trouble!" Li Gongzi has seen that person, can he draw the appearance of that person? Knowing what he looks like, as long as he is still in the capital, my scouts can find him out! ”

Li Jingjue scratched her head in embarrassment, "Although I have seen that person, I didn't look carefully in a hurry. And I'm not good at drawing......"

Chu Tiankuo hid his disappointment and comforted: "It's okay, there will always be other people who have seen it, and I will definitely seek justice for your sister." ”

"I can draw it."

Li Jingjue and Chu Tiankuo were stunned for a moment when they heard Li Jingshan's words. Li Jingjue said happily, "Sister, you can see it!" Your eyes aren't bad? ”

The next moment, he was disappointed to see Li Jingshan shake his head and said calmly, "I remember that person's face." And I usually draw drawings, and my hands are measured, and I can probably draw six or seven percent with my eyes closed. ”

Chu Tiankuo hurriedly asked people to prepare paper and pencils, but Li Jingshan asked her younger brother to rush back to Tianqiao Hall and bring her usual charcoal over, at this time she couldn't see, it was all based on her feelings, naturally the more familiar items she was used to, the more she could find the feeling.

Chu Tiankuo immediately sent a family general to ride a horse with Li Jingjue and hurried over to get something. Waiting for the idle people to retreat, Chu Tiankuo looked at Li Jingshan's pale face, red and swollen eyes, and felt a dense pain in his heart like a pinprick.

He deliberately increased his pace, so that Li Jingshan heard him walking over, coughed lightly, and then plucked up the courage to say: "Miss Li, don't be sad...... The words began, but he didn't know how to comfort people, and he held back for a long time before continuing, "Eh, that...... Let's find a few more doctors, maybe ......"

Li Jingshan turned her head and smiled faintly, "Thank you General Chu, I'm fine." ”

Chu Tiankuo looked at her calm smile, the more calm she was, the more he felt heartache. Is this girl so strong at all times? Even in such a grim moment, he refused to show a little weakness.

He sighed in his heart and began to rack his brains to think of some topics in order to break the awkward atmosphere between the two, while Li Jingshan answered all questions in a regular manner. However, she didn't know that the person in front of her was looking at her with deep eyes and a good mistake.

Chu Tiankuo couldn't see Li Jingshan at this time, but his eyes lingered on her unscrupulously, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt sorry. He finally couldn't help it, and slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to put his arm around Li Jingshan's shoulders and bring the person into his arms, "Miss Li, if you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on, there is no one else here, you don't have to worry about ......"

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted outside the door, "Sister, I brought your tools back and told Young Master Ruan...... Finish. ”

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Li Jingjue stood at the door sweating profusely, glaring at Chu Tiankuo and Li Jingshan, and finished the last word of the words. Behind him stood Ruan Mingyu, looking at them expressionlessly, but there seemed to be fire in his eyes.

Chu Tiankuo's hand froze in mid-air: "............"
