"Come on, come in first." Xiao Jingrui jumped out of the carriage, hugged the child as well, and instructed the subordinates who came to greet him: "Go and ask a doctor to come." ”

Mei Changsu then also bent over, dragging the heavy bag of books in his hand, wondering how this little child could be moved.

"I'll get it." As soon as Xiao Jingrui walked over, a courteous servant rushed to catch it first, so he stretched out his arm and let Mei Changsu help him jump out of the car.

Ting Sheng quickly glanced at the plaque with the words "Ningguo Marquis Mansion" above the door of the mansion, and a dark cloud flashed in his eyes. Although he quickly lowered his head again, this slight change in his expression still did not escape Mei Changsu's eyes.

When he took the child to Xuelu, the doctor quickly came to treat him, and concluded that his ribs were out of place, and he had to rest and recuperate, eat nutritious food, and never do physical work again, otherwise the young body would inevitably leave any sequelae.

Looking at Tingsheng's appearance, he knows that the environment he lives in now must be very bad, if he is allowed to go back like this, I am afraid that none of these two doctor's orders can be done, but no matter how Xiao Jingrui interrogates him, Tingsheng will not reveal a word where he lives.

In contrast, Mei Changsu was not so anxious, he just sent someone to send exquisite food for Ting Sheng to eat, so that he could sleep and rest. Later, when he saw that he was really restless and couldn't sleep, he turned to a book and examined his current level of learning little by little.

"You don't have a master who taught you to read, do you?"

"Hmm."

"Who taught you how to read?"

"My mother."

Mei Changsu groaned slightly. It seems that although this child has the desire to learn, he obviously learns quite superficially and messily, even the pile of books he buys is also undisciplined, of different shades, not like a book list opened for him by a learned person, most of them are taken for granted, but I don't know where the money for him to buy books comes from.

"Tingsheng, if you want to study, you don't read like this," Mei Changsu patiently sorted out a large number of books for him, took out a lot of them from his room, and marked them in order, "You have to read these books first, these are the basics, the reading style is the most concise and clear, and the truth of being a person is also clear." It is like building a house, the foundation must be right, so that the top will not be crooked, if you blindly read it, you will not be able to grasp the true meaning, but you will only change your temperament. There are also these books, which are good books, but you are young, you may not be able to recognize all the words, and you can't understand it if no one explains it. ”

Ting Sheng's eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed again. He instinctively knew that the big brother in front of him must be a very learned person, but it was impossible to come to this deep gate to consult him from time to time.

"Thank you," Tingsheng stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them, "Can I go?" ”

"You kid ......" Xiao Jingrui looked at him with a little headache, "Originally, you had a lot of books, but now Mr. Su has given you so many books, how can you take them?" ”

Ting Sheng looked at the mountain-like pile of books, and he really didn't want to pull down any of them, so he gritted his teeth and said recklessly: "I can take it." ”

"Don't mess around," Xiao Jingrui hurriedly grabbed him, "You have injuries on your body, you can't use brute force like this, I'll send someone to send you, right?" ”

Tingsheng shook his head resolutely.

Xiao Jingrui couldn't help but look at Mei Changsu helplessly.

Mei Changsu thought for a while, and was about to speak, when a clear voice suddenly came from outside the snow house, it was Feiliu's voice, and then someone shouted: "Little master, this can't be beaten...... This is ......."

"Break in, hit!" Feiliu replied coldly, and the sound of his clothes breaking through the air became even stronger.

"Who are you? Dare to stop me......" Someone else shouted angrily, but then his voice froze, probably forced by Feiliu's attack, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak again.

"If you go out, you won't fight!" Feiliu probably got Mei Changsu's orders, and he didn't kill him, but his tone was like ice, and there was no room for turnover.

Although Xiao Jingrui didn't hear who the man who was stopped outside was, he immediately rushed out, and after a while, his voice also came: "Feiliu, don't fight, this is a guest, you can come in." ”

"Didn't say yes! Get out! Feiliu insisted.

Mei Changsu couldn't help frowning slightly. Except for a few people who Feiliu already knew, when ordinary guests visited, they were reported by their subordinates, and if they were willing to meet, they would first order Feiliu not to be blocked, so there was never any conflict. This guest obviously relied on a certain identity and rushed in all the way from the outside, and the servants not only did not dare to stop him, but they didn't even have time to report it first, so they provoked Shang Feiliu and was intercepted by him.

For such an rude guest, Mei Changsu would not have met at all.

Just as he was about to raise his greetings, his eyes turned and fell on Tingsheng's body.

The child's face was pale, his head was tilted and his mouth was open, listening intently to the movement outside, his hands tightly twisted together, and he was almost twisted out of shape by himself.

Mei Changsu's heart moved, and he suddenly changed his mind, and said outward: "Feiliu, let him in!" ”

The fighting stopped abruptly, and Xiao Jingrui's voice sounded immediately, and his tone was very polite: "You're not hurt, are you?" How could they rush in like this? Is there something urgent? My father isn't at home, so I'll accompany you to the main hall and wait for ......."

"I'm not here to find Hou Ye Xie," the man said, while already rushing into the snow house, he bumped into Mei Changsu's light and slightly cold gaze, and involuntarily froze his steps, his eyes scattered around, and he saw Tingsheng standing there in a good manner, so he settled down and asked, "Ting'er, are you okay?" ”

"Yes." Tingsheng replied in a respectful whisper.

"Do you know this kid?" Xiao Jingrui, who came in with him, hurriedly asked.

"Jing Rui," the man turned around and said, "I heard that this kid accidentally collided with a nobleman's car on the street, which may have alarmed your important guest, so it's no wonder you're angry." But he's just a kid anyway, so please look at my thin face, and let him make amends to your guest and let him go? ”

Xiao Jingrui looked at him and reacted for a while, until Mei Changsu laughed, and then he laughed: "Your Highness probably misunderstood, Tingsheng didn't collide with my car, we met him in passing, and by the way, we brought him back to diagnose his injuries." If you don't believe me, you can ask Tingsheng. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, glanced back at Ting Sheng's expression, and then thought about Xiao Jingrui's life, he knew that what he said was true, and his expression was a little embarrassed at the moment.

"I really didn't know that His Royal Highness King Jing had arrived," Mei Changsu slowly got up and saluted, "Feiliu was offended just now, please forgive me." ”

Xiao Jingrui hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "His Royal Highness King Jing, this is Mr. Su Zhesu. ”

Xiao Jingyan, the seventh son of the emperor, is Chinese New Year's Eve one year old today, he is a young man with a long body, and his appearance is not much different from his brothers, but because he has been leading troops outside all the year round, the royal family's nobility has a little more fortitude, and the skin on his face and hands is not as delicate as that of other princes. Hearing Su Zhe's name, he didn't show any special expression, probably just for the sake of Xiao Jingrui's solemn introduction, he politely returned the salute.

On the contrary, Mei Changsu looked at him more seriously and carefully under his plain and idle expression.

"Is Tingsheng a person from the palace of His Royal Highness King Jing?" Xiao Jingrui asked immediately after inviting the guests to take their seats.

“…… Belch...... Isn't it ......" King Jing's expression was a little embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to phrase it, "Tingsheng is ...... now It's a place to live in a secluded garden......"

"The Hidden Garden?" Xiao Jingrui didn't think of this place no matter how he thought about it, so he blurted out, "Isn't that the place where the palace slaves live?" He is so young, what crime has he committed to be locked up there? ”

Tingsheng's lips were pursed into lines as hard as iron, and there was not a trace of blood on his face.

"He was born there in the custody of his mother." King Jing knew that even if he didn't say it, Xiao Jingrui would be easy to find out, so he simply said quickly, "If it's okay, let him go back quickly." According to the palace rules, people in the secret court can't spend the night outside, and his mother must be very anxious now......"

"Do you know his mother?" Xiao Jingrui actually knew that he shouldn't ask more, but he really couldn't suppress his curiosity. Concubine Jing died many years ago, and now he only has two side concubines around him, and there are no other concubines, compared to other princes who are full of flowers, they are really an outlier, maybe it is because they have a soft spot, and they are in love with a guilty palace slave, and if you think farther, this child may be......

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingrui felt that his imagination was in danger of approaching Yan Yujin, so he hurriedly pinched it, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

King Jing is a few years older, much more experienced, and smart, he can know where Xiao Jingrui wants to go at a glance, but he doesn't intend to clarify. As for Tingsheng's existence, he only accidentally discovered it a few years ago, when the child was really tortured and inhuman, although he used his power to stop being beaten over the years, but he couldn't completely shelter him. Therefore, every time I leave Beijing to patrol the border, I will inevitably worry about it. Within a few days of returning to Beijing this time, he was busy with some affairs at the military headquarters, and it was easy to have time to visit him, but he heard that a companion in the same court said that he had caused trouble on the street, so he hurriedly inquired and came to rescue him, but fortunately nothing happened.

"Trespassing on the Hou Mansion is reckless on the part of this king. I'm going to apologize another day. King Jing didn't say more, got up and glanced at Tingsheng, "It's not too early, say goodbye first......"

Before he finished speaking, Mei Changsu suddenly coughed, at first as if he was still strongly suppressed, and then the more he coughed, the more he coughed, as if he was about to tear all his internal organs apart, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, oozing cold sweat the size of soybeans. Although Xiao Jingrui has been with him for many days, he has never seen him cough like this, and he suddenly panicked, and hurriedly came over to pat him on the back, but it was useless, when he wiped his sweat with a hand towel, he felt that his forehead was hot, but his cheeks were cold, and he was even more busy, pulling his throat and calling someone to ask for a doctor. Even Feiliu pounced, hugging Mei Changsu's trembling body, unable to speak like a frightened child, only screaming "ah, ah".

It took a long time for Mei Changsu to slowly calm down, and he removed the handkerchief covering his mouth slightly, and a dazzling blood mark flashed, and he was rolled inside. Xiao Jingrui had already seen it, and his heart was gloomy for a while, but he didn't say anything, but just whispered in his ear: "Brother Su, do you want to take one pill of Mr. Xun's medicine?" ”

"No, you don't." Mei Changsu adjusted his breath angrily, and showed a smile towards Feiliu, "I'm just coughing, Feiliu is not afraid, Feiliu can help Brother Su beat his back at night......"

"Flying Stream Pounding Back!"

"That's right, with us Feiliu beating his back, Brother Su won't have anything......"

King Jing has been watching from the side, not walking, not leaving, at this time, seeing that Su Zhe calmed down, he hurriedly stepped forward and slowly greeted: "Why is Mr. Su sick?" ”

Mei Changsu slowly rolled his eyes, and his eyes found Tingsheng who was staring at him with wide-eyed eyes, smiled at him, and beckoned: "Tingsheng, come over for a moment." ”

Ting Sheng glanced at King Jing, and although he didn't quite understand, he slowly walked to the side of the bench.

"Tingsheng, are you willing to let me teach you to read?"

Tingsheng was startled, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. King Jing frowned and said, "Mr. Su, Tingsheng is a person from the Youting Court......

"I know," Mei Changsu probably coughed too badly just now, and there was still a layer of moist moisture in his eyes, but his eyes were even hotter because of this, "I just ask you, are you willing?" ”

Tingsheng's chest rose and fell sharply twice, and somehow, he suddenly felt that this must be an opportunity, so he gritted his teeth, puffed up his chest, and said loudly: "I am willing!" ”

"Okay," Mei Changsu's pale face smiled even deeper, and he reached out to hold the child's hand in his palm, "You go back first." I'm going to have a way to get you to me. ”
