Chapter 304: Touch
Li Jicai stood by the river where the entire village drew water, a tributary that flows slowly in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and never dries up.
The river is always alive in the sky, and the white clouds alternate with the brilliant stars.
The land on both sides of the bank was green, and flocks of birds fluttered their wings and skimmed, sometimes resting on the sparse small saplings planted along the ridges, and sometimes they stayed among the seedlings nodding and bowing their heads everywhere.
A little farther away is planted with grain, which is still full and attractive green before the harvest season, but there is no grain on either side of the river, and a blanket of weeds and wildflowers is spread.
There are not many fish in the water, and there are not many people who catch them, so people often like to raise fish in the fields.
Li Jicai was a little greedy, because he heard from the uncle in the village that they usually raise fish in ponds and rice fields, and April and July are the time when the fish grow, so they put small fry in when they plant rice.
When the small fry are first released, they are so big and so big, and when they are harvested in the fall, the fish will be big and fat.
When the time comes, the fish will be very easy to catch. And this fish can also eat some pests in the rice field, when the rice flowers bloom, it is the happiest time for these fish to eat and eat, and then, the rice is tasseled, and the fish grow.
I heard that this rice flower fish likes to eat rice flowers, it grows big and fat, and it tastes very delicious, and I heard that fish scales can be eaten.
When Li Jicai heard this, he was even more excited, and when the fish came out in the future, he would cook and fry everything, and the taste would be delicious.
Li Jicai looked at the scenery while carefully planning in his mind, planning what to do when the harvest came.
It wasn't until the call came from a distance that Li Jicai woke up like a dream.
Who else can call him at this time, besides her two maids?
I guess it's looking, it's noon now, take her back to eat.
So without waiting for the two of them to get closer, Li Jicai turned around and walked towards the way back.
The weeds that I stepped on all the way sometimes startled some flying insects, and the exposed skin was a little itchy. The smell of grass was very strong, and Li Jicai casually plucked a weed, and a small white flower bloomed on it, and then put it in his mouth.
It seems that the mood is very relaxed.
"What did you do today? Why don't we eat on this field? Li Jicai slightly raised her voice so that the other party could also hear her.
Bi Luo heard her words and wanted to reach out to answer, but subconsciously looked at Bi Yu, forget it or go back.
"Isn't there anything special for today?"
"There is no special business in the village, and it is important for the young lady to study the agricultural books seriously." Jasper smiled decently, and her speech was not leaky.
When they came here, they had less shackles and a lot less control, so much so that Li Jicai and Bi Luo were a little wild, crazy, and noisy.
Li Jicai is nature makes Biyu understand, but Biluo can't do this as a slave, so Biyu took the initiative to be a bad guy who restrained them.
"That'...... Is there anything big going on in the capital? Li Jicai hesitated for a while, thinking of the letter Qi Qingchu wrote to her, and somehow asked.
At the moment, the field was empty, and there were only Jasper Biluo and Li Jicai in this place, and there was no one else.
If Jasper wants to say it, then take advantage of this opportunity when there is no one, and some private topics can also be said.
It's just that Biyu is still a little hesitant and doesn't know whether to say it or not, although this matter has nothing to do with them, and it has little to do with her master.
But she remembered that Li Jicai seemed to have some relationship with that Xi Zien, by the way, it seemed that Xi Zien had also saved his own family before, so now Xi Zien is in a big disaster, if this young lady doesn't know, will she blame her if she knows it in the future?
It is not really for her to say this, but for her own master.
Because when she went to the capital yesterday, the master seemed to mention Jasper in front of him, and felt that the master's intention should be to tell Li Jicai about this matter.
But she was a little unsure that she had to, thinking to herself, maybe her master wanted to see Li Jicai's reaction and find out what she thought.
Li Jicai's eyes wandered, and he didn't notice the hesitation that flashed on Biyu's face. Bilo had noticed.
"Sister, do you have anything to say? Let's talk about it, you entered the city yesterday, you must have encountered something interesting! Bilo said self-righteously.
Li Jicai's attention was pulled back by her, and she couldn't help but be curious when she heard this. Curious what Jasper had heard from outside.
"This ......" Biyu was driven by the eyes of the two of them, her mood was a little turbulent, she gritted her teeth, and finally decided to say it, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one now.
"Yes, Miss, the slave maid heard a piece of gossip, but the people involved in this matter are more or less related to Miss." Biyu's cautious expression made Li Jicai's heart tremble.
Something to do with her? Qi Qingchu?
Li Jicai thought of this possibility in an instant, and couldn't help but clasp his fingers, and his muscles were a little tight.
"Only a few people know about this, but almost all the people in the capital have heard the news, and Prince Yong's youngest son, Xi Zien, has made a big mistake and defiled the princess of the small country. ”
"Huh?" I originally thought it was Qi Qingchu, but I didn't expect it to be Xi Zien? Not, princess of a small country?
"In the country of Dadan on the border of the Chu State, his daughter Princess Feili. It's a long story, and if you listen carefully and patiently to me, you'll know what the hell is going on. ”
"Well, let's talk about it." Since it was not Qi Qingchu's business, this made Li Jicai breathe a sigh of relief, but he was a little disappointed.
Jasper spoke clearly, and the sentences smoothly retold the whole thing as she had heard the ins and outs.
When she finished saying this, Biyu and Li Jicai's jaws fell in surprise.
"Isn't it, is Xi Zien crazy? To do such a deplorable and despicable thing! "Li Jicai is unbelievable.
"Yes, Miss said that he was very drunk that day, and someone carried Princess Philippe to his bed, and Xi Zien himself has a habit of looking for women outside, so he didn't pay attention, so he made a big mistake, then he is already in prison."
“…… Isn't that the end of that? It's over! Li Jicai shook his head and said, Xi Zien must not be able to hide from this matter, it's over.
"Yes, Miss, Your Majesty is furious, many ministers in the court dare not speak for him, and you have also heard the slave and maid describe the extraordinary identity of the King of Naddan, so this matter is extremely tricky."
"I remember that his father seems to be Prince Yong, even so, can't he protect him?"
"Miss, I heard that Prince Yong has planned to give up this son, so many ministers have not helped to speak, and no one dares to help speak at this moment."
"Wouldn't the minister who was appointed by His Majesty to deal with this matter be in the middle of the fire?"
"Yes, Miss, by the way, the person who handled this matter was no one else, it was Lord Qi."
"Ah!?h Li Jicai glanced at Jasper in disbelief, is it really fake? Oh! No wonder!
Li Jicai instantly understood why Qi Qingchu wrote to him that he had no time to teach her classes in the recent period of time, and that he was on official business, it turned out that this was the case.
Li Jicai's sudden realization caused the strangeness of Jasper and Biluo.
"Miss, why are you so surprised? Lord Qi is His Majesty's most valued courtier, so it is not surprising that this matter is entrusted to him! ”
"Huh? Well! Haha, I'm just making a fuss, making a fuss, don't take it to heart, don't take it personally. ”
Li Jicai smiled and wanted to cover up this matter, but the shock on her face had not disappeared.
"Miss, no matter what the others do, what are we going to eat at night?" Bi Luo didn't care about these national affairs, since she came here, she felt more and more that life was very stable, if she could live here in peace for the rest of her life, without any sorrows, it would be great.
"Huh?! Then eat dumplings. ”
"Well, what? I want to eat dumplings again, does the young lady want you to make dumplings again? "Bi Luo ate too many dumplings last winter, and she ate her out of the shadows, so that now I want to vomit when I think of dumplings.
"Eat, eat, you know how to eat all day long!"
"That's no way, the people take food as the sky, isn't it, miss?"
Biyu stared at Li Jicai, and saw that Li Jicai was a little flustered, but her mouth did not relax at all, and she continued to fight with Biluo, pretending to be casual, but her palms were slightly sweaty.
"Yes, yes, you're right, okay, little glutton!" Li Jicai said angrily. Although there was some complaining, they all knew that she was not really blaming and dissatisfied.
Biro smiled embarrassedly, and that smile was brighter than the flowers on the side of the road. Biyu and Li Jicai both felt a lot more happy when they looked at it, after all, among the three people, Biluo was the most active one.
One master and two servants chatted casually and returned home.
After Li Jicai experienced so many things before, he also had a heart and no longer exposed his thoughts in the eyes of Jasper, Jiang Xihu.
Xi Zien's matter, for now, is not something she can get her hands on, no matter how much she wants, it is useless, but now it is more important to see how Qi Qingchu maneuvers between these two parties.
Not only did King Dadan be satisfied with the result, but also gave Prince Yong some face, after all, it was his son who made a big mistake, but as a royal family, some privileges are still enjoyed.
It has always been said that Qi Qingchu's ability is particularly outstanding, and he can stand firm in the court and stand tall. It's amazing.
So Li Jicai felt that he wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look, see how Qi Qingchu would be, see how he would deal with this matter, and how he would survive this crisis, because if it was not handled well, Emperor Gao De would definitely blame him, right?
After all, the best thing an emperor can do is to be angry with others.
However, Qi Qingchu did not mention this matter in that letter, and he did not want to share it with her, although this matter was not his business, but Li Jicai was still a little disappointed.
Maybe the relationship between the two of them is not just the teacher-student relationship like now, maybe Qi Qingchu's trust in her can be deepened.
Somehow, Li Jicai suddenly wanted Qi Qingchu to come to her, maybe because of habit, or just because of the impulse in her heart.
However, the inexplicable feeling of noise still made Li Jicai very bored, if Qi Qingchu encountered difficulties in this matter and came to her to discuss, she could also give some ideas, and if she could help him, it would be a good thing.
But how did Qi Qingchu deal with this matter? Where to start?
Listening to Biyu's meaning, this matter is still on hold for the time being, and the case is still unresolved, which shows that Emperor Gao De has not handled it well.
But if, if this thing is carefully designed, then it is also good to catch the murderer behind the scenes and find a scapegoat.
But Biyu also said that this matter was really just a coincidence from beginning to end, because Xi Zien's subordinates were used to plundering outside, and the good-looking women of good families provided Xi Zien with enjoyment. There are already lessons from the past, so it is simply impossible to wash it away.
So there is no basis for finding a scapegoat, and King Dadan is not a fool, and as a man, he does things alone. If you dare to commit this incident in the first place, you will have to bear the corresponding consequences.
Although it is very immoral, Qi Qingchu may be able to start with Princess Dadan, yes, it seems to be that Princess Philippe.
It's impossible to know what the hell that Princess Philip is doing? Have you verified your integrity and how much has you been violated? If you just put the two of you in the same bed and slept all night, and nothing happened, that's fine.
Then the mat can escape, but if something happens, it will be uncontrollable.
In his selfish heart, Li Jicai still hopes that what happens is the former, so that Xi Zien can also survive, and Qi Qingchu will not be so difficult.
It is like getting a medical certificate from the hospital, and if you have cancer, you have to judge whether it is benign or malignant, and whether there is a possibility of cure.
If it's benign, then there's still salvation, and if it's malignant, forget it, let's just buy a coffin.
I don't know, would Qi Qingchu think of this layer? According to his intelligence, he should have been.
Thinking of this, Li Jicai ate a little absent-mindedly when eating, and his thoughts didn't know where he had flown to.
Regarding Qi Qingchu, no matter how much you cover it up, you will still be exposed if you are not careful, and you will still be if you are not careful.
Intentionally or not, it's like affection.
