Chapter eighty-three
"By the way, third brother, eldest brother, the day after tomorrow, the Void Daoist will hold a Taoist meeting in Mingguang Temple, and at that time, both the powerful and ordinary people in the capital will rush to go. And it's been five years since the last time the Void Dao Master held a Dao meeting!
Besides, the Void Dao Master has always rarely held Dao meetings, and besides, he is a person who sees the beginning and the end of the dragon! If you can see him this time and get him a hexagram, it will be an unavoidable thing! So, third brother, big brother, are you going? ”
Ji Ziyu was eating pastries while looking up at Xiao Jingmo and Ji Zishu distractedly.
He asked with a somewhat excited expression, and the excitement in his tone could not be concealed.
After a sudden pause as he spoke, his shrewd eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Wu and asked, "Do you want to go with the princess?" ”
Ye Ling was originally eating pastries with his head down, but when he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up at Ji Ziyu and Chu Wu, with some excitement and expectation in his eyes.
Hearing this, Chu Wu raised her eyes to look at Ji Ziyu, her apricot eyes blinked slightly, and she couldn't help but have some doubts in her eyes.
Chu Wu didn't know who the Void Dao Chief in Ji Ziyu's mouth was, but listening to the meaning of his words, it seemed that this person was very influential in Xiao State.
Chu Wu's eyes flashed slightly, her mind turned around a few times, she looked at Ji Ziyu and smiled slightly: "If the prince goes, I have no opinion!" ”
Xiao Jingmo held the teacup in his slender hand, put it to his lips and took a sip of it, and shook the teacup lightly when he heard the words.
The narrow phoenix eyes turned slightly, glanced at Chu Wu, and saw that Chu Wu's eyes were also a little interested, and her thin lips were slightly curved: "Then let's go!" ”
When Ji Zishu heard this, he was slightly stunned, glanced at Xiao Jingmo, and gently put down the teacup in his hand.
Just as he was about to speak, Ji Ziyu suddenly leaned forward, looked at him excitedly and asked, "Big brother, what about you?" ”
Ji Zishu glanced at Ji Ziyu, saw his very excited expression, smiled slightly, the beautiful fox eyes flashed slightly, looked at Ji Ziyu and smiled gently: "Since Amo has gone, can I still go?" It just so happened that I was resting that day, and I was free. ”
"Haha, that's great! Now you can borrow the blessing of the third brother to see this divine dragon, and see the head but not the tail of the empty Dao long! ”
Ji Ziyu smiled excitedly, a beautiful baby face smiled very cutely, two small dimples on the cheeks playfully emerged, his eyes were slightly curved, he looked very cute and handsome, his facial features were already delicate and cute, and his smile was even more pleasing.
Even Chu Wu looked at him twice.
"I heard that the vegetarian food in Mingguang Temple is very delicious, isn't it? Little feathers? ”
Ye Ling's round eyes seemed to be shining with stars, and he looked at Ji Ziyu with anticipation, and asked excitedly.
Ji Ziyu was stunned for a moment, a little helpless about what Ye Ling only thought about eating, but he still nodded, "Hmm!" And their vegetarian food is available in limited quantities, which is not available to ordinary people! I'll take you to eat the day after tomorrow! ”
Ji Ziyu said this, and winked at Ye Ling proudly.
When Ye Ling heard this, her eyes brightened when she looked at Ji Ziyu, and she nodded happily.
Ji Ziyu had a proud expression on his face, his chin was slightly raised, he liked Ye Ling's eyes that worshiped and depended on him.
Chu Wu watched the communication between the two of them, and when she saw Ji Ziyu looking at Ye Ling's doting eyes, she suddenly seemed to understand something, and pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
Xiao Jingmo's phoenix eyes turned slightly, and he glanced at Chu Sister-in-law, and saw Chu Woman looking at Ji Ziyu and Ye Ling, with a smile on her face, her mind turned slightly, and her thin lips opened lightly: "Do you want to eat?" The king asked someone to send a copy. ”
Xiao Jingmo's faint tone contained a gentleness that Chu Wu could not detect.
When Chu Wu heard this, she realized that Xiao Jingmo was talking to herself, raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Jingmo, and saw him looking at herself with deep phoenix eyes, and at that moment Chu Wu seemed to see the doting in Xiao Jingmo's eyes.
Chu Wu was slightly stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly, looked at Xiao Jingmo and smiled slightly: "No need, thank you Lord Wang!" ”
Chu Wu was not very interested in eating, but she would not refuse if it was delicious, but she really didn't want to trouble Xiao Jingmo. When the time comes, if you want to eat at the temple, you can go again!
When Xiao Jingmo heard this, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were slightly heavy, and he glanced at Chu Wu and didn't say anything.
Ji Ziyu glanced at Xiao Jingmo a little strangely, while Ye Ling was a little pity that the princess didn't want to eat!
Ji Zishu raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jingmo and Chu Wu, the beautiful fox eyes blinked slightly, and there was still a gentle smile on his face, and he didn't interject.
just sighed slightly in his heart, and it was also a little funny, it was the first time he saw a woman refuse Amo's kindness.
Looking at the princess like this, Ah Mo still has a long way to go! It seems that not all women like Amo!
Ji Zishu smiled secretly.
It's just that I didn't expect that with Amo's identity and appearance, there would be a woman in this world who could resist the temptation and keep her heart?!
Not to mention the identity, just the appearance, Ah Mo's appearance is enough to make all women fall, and the only one who can compare to Ah Mo is Yin Li!
With Amo's appearance, if Amo is a woman, she can bring disaster to the country and the people!
What's more, Amo's identity makes all the powerful girls in the capital want to marry into King Xiao's mansion!
Ji Zishu smiled slightly, secretly thinking in his heart, his face remained the same, he picked up the tea and took a sip.
Chu Wu suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at Ji Ziyu, who was whispering to Ye Ling, I don't know what she thought, her apricot eyes blinked slightly, and she asked a little strangely: "Why does Ji Xiaogongzi call the prince the third brother?" ”
Chu Wu was very puzzled by this when she saw Ji Ziyu in the restaurant before, but she didn't ask, but she only remembered it today, and she was really a little curious, so she asked.
When Ji Ziyu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and there was some surprise in his eyes.
Not to mention that Ji Ziyu was surprised, Xiao Jingmo and Ji Zishu were also surprised, they didn't expect Chu Yu to suddenly ask like this.
It's really Chu Wu who gave them the feeling that she was a person who was very indifferent to anything, but she didn't expect to be interested in this.
Xiao Jingmo's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and he knew Chu Yu better.
He knew that Chu Wu usually looked gentle and soft-spoken, but in fact, she was as indifferent as him in her bones, and she was the same kind of person as him!
It was this that Xiao Jingmo felt that Chu Wu had a very good appetite for him.
In fact, she rarely takes the initiative to ask about things, as if she doesn't care about anything and is not interested, and she can even look calm and calm when she is injured.
You're interested in this today?!
Chu Wu was a little strange, why Ji Ziyu and they all looked surprised.
Ye Ling also looked at them strangely.
Ji Ziyu reacted at this time, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with a smile: "That's the case, the third brother is my third cousin in chronological order, and he is the second cousin of the eldest brother." The emperor is the eldest cousin, but I think my cousin sounds strange and unfamiliar, so I call him the third brother directly! ”
Only then did Chu Wu react that Xiao Jingmo's mother and Ji Ziyu's mother were sisters of the same mother, so their relationship was so close.
Chu Wu smiled understandingly: "I see! ”
When Ji Ziyu and Ji Zishu heard this, they both smiled politely, and Xiao Jingmo still smiled lightly with his lips slightly hooked.
Ye Ling glanced at Chu Sister, reached out and picked up a piece of cinnamon cake and handed it to Chu Woman, and smiled sweetly: "Sister-in-law.... Princess, you taste it, it's delicious! ”
Chu Wu stretched out her hand to take the pastry, and after politely thanking her, she picked up the pastry and put it in her mouth and tasted it.
Ji Zishu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jingmo, and said with a somewhat dignified face: "Amo, those wounded soldiers and veterans are still the same as before, do they send some pension silver taels to let them return to their hometowns?" ”
When Xiao Jingmo heard this, his narrow phoenix eyes sank slightly, he nodded, and said softly, "Hmm!" "Yes.
"For this matter, the imperial court has always handled it like this, but recently, some people have reported that the pension silver has been embezzled, and those soldiers have not much money left!
In addition, those soldiers are either injured or disabled, and they have long lost the ability to work, which is indeed a burden to the family that already lives on strength.
Every year, the imperial court discusses the whereabouts and arrangements of these large numbers of wounded soldiers, but there is still no complete conclusion!
If the imperial court does not have a good way to deal with the wounded soldiers and veterans, it will inevitably chill their hearts, and the people will also be chilled by the imperial court! ”
Ji Zishu's beautiful fox eyes sank slightly, and he said in a deep voice.
Chu Wu's eyes drooped slightly, and she quietly ate the pastries in her hands, but subconsciously listened carefully to Ji Zishu's words.
In fact, this matter is indeed quite difficult to do, raising soldiers requires a lot of money, and grain, grass and equipment are all places that need to spend a lot of money.
And these soldiers who have paid their lives and costs for the country also need to have a good explanation, otherwise, how can you make others believe in you, and how can you make people willing to dedicate themselves?
When Ji Ziyu heard this, he also frowned slightly.
Ye Ling's big eyes were also a little puzzled.
Xiao Jingmo's eyes sank slightly, "The person who is greedy for the money and silver of the Mo army is found out, and he is exiled from his house, so he must release the silver in place!" Other.... Hum! Even if there was a way, those old stubborns wouldn't agree to it! ”
Xiao Jingmo snorted coldly, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
Ji Zishu was silent, he knew that even if there was a way, those big families would not agree, because it would damage their interests.
Chu Wu's eyes rolled slightly, she knew that no matter what world she was in, it was like this, and people's hearts were like this! The great families naturally do not want to harm their interests, just like some officials and leaders in modern times!
Chu Wu glanced at Xiao Jingmo and Ji Zishu, and asked softly, "If you want to recruit soldiers, what do you ask for?" ”
When Ji Zishu and Xiao Jingmo heard this, they were slightly stunned, and raised their eyes to look at Chu Wu, although Ji Zishu wondered why Chu Wu asked this question, but he still said gently: "If it is a war related to national disasters, then if there are two men in each family, you must go to one!" There is only one boy or no one who only needs to hand over some money, and some big families or families with good family backgrounds can pay more money in exchange for people if they don't want their children to go! ”
Hearing this, Chu Wu nodded contemplatively, but did not speak.
Ji Zishu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Chu Wu and said with a smile: "What is the best way for the princess?" ”
Chu Wan shrugged her shoulders and said softly: "The prince also said it, there is naturally a way!" It just doesn't have to be! ”
