Chapter 14: Take the wrong medicine
Early in the morning, Guan Jiyu woke up when he heard the noise outside, perhaps because he took medicine, he broke out in a cold sweat at night, and he only felt cold when he woke up.
But fortunately, there is no heaviness in the head, there is no shortage of dizziness, and the spirit is better.
Guan Jiyu put on her coat and walked out of the door, only to find that there was a thick snow falling outside the house, and there were people standing around the notice board not far away. ”
Another protégé said: "Oh my God, I have to wait for five days, if I want to say that there are not a few people left, hurry up and finish the competition, whether to go or stay to make people's hearts settle." ”
"Shhhhh Someone made a look, and the protégés who were watching the bulletin board quickly dispersed, leaving only Guan Jiyu.
Xiang Lincheng's voice came from behind him: "It's so cold outside, what are you doing standing here?" Why don't you rest in the house? ”
Guan Jiyu turned around and saw Xiang Lincheng standing a few steps away, he was wearing a dark cloak, black hair and silver crown, showing his heroic spirit.
"You have to look at what the notice says, you are always hiding in your room, where can you know these important notices? What if this notice says I can pack my bags and go back? With that, she went back to reading the notice.
There was a creaking sound of snow behind her, and Xiang Lincheng's voice was already in her ears.
He said, "If there are any important instructions, I will naturally tell you." As he spoke, he reached out and untied his cloak.
Guan Jiyu was still thinking about what he meant by "I will naturally tell you", the people who came to participate in the selection were all children or protégés of the family, so there was no need for him to give her this special treatment, right? Why would a man of his calibre personally convey instructions to her?
Just thinking about it, the cloak had fallen on her body, and the tie around her neck had not yet been tied, seeing his eyes staring at the two straps, Guan Jiyu's face was hot, and he hurriedly reached out to tie it.
"Don't move." He lowered his head and slowly tied the frenulum belt, and when he tied it, his fingers inadvertently touched the white skin on her neck, Guan Jiyu held his breath, and he didn't dare to let go until he couldn't help but take a breath.
"Thank you, Second Son." She whispered her thanks, and took a small step back, widening the distance between the two.
Xiang Lincheng looked at the school field in the distance, and only said softly: "You're welcome, you are the most qualified protégé here, you missed the assessment before you were ill, and it will be the last one soon, you must recuperate well in the next few days." As I said, I'm looking forward to your performance. ”
His words calmed the worry in her heart, she fainted before the duel with Helan Yan was over that day, and she was still worried about how Xiang Lincheng would deal with this matter.
Speaking of assessment, Guan Jiyu remembered Jiang Yingnian and Zhe Shu, who were still in confinement.
She couldn't help but look up at him and asked, "But Jiang Yingnian and Zheshu of my Qingzi Camp were locked up by you two days ago because of a fight with the protégés selected at the same time, dare to ask the second son, how are you going to send them down?" ”
Xiang Lincheng didn't answer, he withdrew his gaze and fell on her.
He said, "What do you think I should do about this?" It's not just the Blue Word Camp that is fighting, there are other factions, what do you think I should do? ”
Guan Jiyu bit his lip and lowered his head and said, "I know that this matter is because they are acting recklessly, and I don't dare to speculate on the second son's intentions at will." She hesitated, plucked up her courage and said, "But I still have something to ask for." ”
Xiang Lincheng said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Guan Jiyu looked him directly into the eyes and said: "Zheshu and I are the same brothers who have been trained in the Qingzi Camp for many years, and I have always been very clear about his desire to enter the Beixinxiang Military Camp, and our Qingzi Battalion people have only one goal since they were young, that is, to be able to enter the Xiang Military Camp to kill the enemy. If you can, I ask the second son to be lenient with him, whatever you want, I just ask you not to disqualify him from participating in the selection. ”
"What you said surprised me." Xiang Lincheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What about Jiang Yingnian?" He is the third son of your Jiang Mansion, I thought you had to intercede for him first. ”
A trace of sadness flashed on her face, but she quickly returned to normal, and said: "You must have heard a little about our eldest prince of Jiangfu, the eldest prince is gone, I really don't want Jiang Yingnian to follow us to the border, he is not this material, and there is really no need to take this risk." ”
Xiang Lincheng said: "But his grades are not bad." ”
"So what!" Guan Jiyu was a little anxious, her voice was a little louder, and she said eagerly: "He just needs to stay in Nanqin and live peacefully for the rest of his life!" ”
Guan Jiyu stepped forward a little, begged with a face, and said, "If you are willing to help me, please cancel his selection qualification and let him go back." ”
His expression revealed embarrassment, and he only said, "But I didn't plan to disqualify anyone. If you cancel only one of him as you want, I am afraid that it will cause doubts and dissatisfaction. ”
Guan Jiyu knew that this request might be excessive, so what obligation did he have to help her?
The trees on the side were blown and the snow fell.
Xiang Lincheng thought for a while and said: "As usual, the last game is a two-by-two duel, there will only be seven people left, there are many masters on the field, he has never participated in the competition of any camp, do you think he has a great hope of staying?" ”
Guan Jiyu didn't know how to answer this question.
Thinking of Jiang Yingnian's appearance in her mind, she only knew that he was not in shape when he walked around on weekdays, but when he really got here, no one knew who the last person would be left.
Xiang Lincheng said: "If he is lucky and meets an opponent who is not as good as him, it means that God is helping him." If he is unlucky and meets an opponent who is stronger than him, then no one is to blame. ”
"Let's see the will of God, Miss Guan."
Guan Jiyu's solemn face stretched slightly, thinking that Xiang Lincheng's words were very pertinent, rather than using abnormal means to interfere with Jiang Yingnian's stay and stay, it was better to look at the will of heaven.
Xiang Lincheng looked at her twisted little face and said with a smile: "Okay, let's get entangled in these things again, the most important thing for you at the moment is to take care of your body, some things can't be solved by thinking about them every day." It's so cold outside, let's go back. ”
The two of them walked slowly in the snow, and the pines and cypresses in the courtyard were covered with thick snow, which pressed the pines and cypress branches slightly.
The snow that fell from the tree while she was walking smashed on Guan Jiyu's head, not too hard, but she was so startled that she whispered "ah".
Xiang Lincheng saw that there was snow on her black hair, so he stopped and reached out quietly to gently brush the snow from her hair.
"Huh?" Guan Jiyu was slightly surprised, her white snow and ink hair lined her face like a peach blossom, and she whispered: "I'll come by myself." As he spoke, he reached out and patted the snow above his head.
Xiang Lincheng said: "There are still here." ”
He pointed to the hair hanging down in front of her shoulder, and Guan Jiyu looked down to see that there was still residual snow foam.
She was too embarrassed to continue arranging her hair under his gaze, and those eyes stared at her uncomfortably.
Guan Jiyu said: "Two steps ahead is my residence, thank you for the clothes of the second son." As he spoke, he took off his cloak.
Xiang Lincheng raised his hand to block and said, "Don't be in a hurry at this time, it's not too late to turn around and have time to pay me back." ”
Guan Jiyu wanted to excuse himself again, but a voice sounded not far away.
"The second son of Xiang has to take care of the assessment matters these days, so don't be affected by the wind and cold in the future assessment."
Jiang Yingnian was wearing a white fox fur fur, approaching step by step.
"Ah Yu, when I went out, I asked you to bring more thick clothes, why didn't you listen?" He walked to Guan Jiyu's side, picked up the cloak in her hand and stuffed it into Xiang Lincheng's hand, then took off the fox fur on his body and draped it on her.
Guan Jiyu shook and looked at Jiang Yingnian beside him in disbelief.
Are you kidding? He called her "Ah Yu"?
Is this still the Jiang Yingnian who calls her name unceremoniously "Guan Jiyu, Guan Jiyu" on weekdays?
She wondered, "You, did you take the wrong medicine?" ”
Jiang Yingnian didn't look at her, stared at Xiang Lincheng and continued to talk to herself: "It's really not worry-free, you ran out when you were dressed so thinly, so that people who don't know still think that our Nanqin Jiang Mansion treats our protégés badly." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and reached out to pull her neckline tight.
This action surprised Guan Jiyu again.
Because Xiang Lincheng was in front of her, it was not good for her to directly open her mouth and scold Jiang Yingnian for being sick. She squeezed out a smile and said, "What's the matter, the third prince has always been very considerate of our subordinates. ”
Guan Jiyu was very cooperative with him, and continued: "When you came, you gave us pastries in the carriage, the third prince is usually like this, there is no fight, and we are really grateful to be subordinates." ”
Jiang Yingnian didn't expect her to say such a thing, his face was stunned, and in the face of her connotation, he answered very naturally: "It should be, it should be." My eldest brother has passed away, so I naturally have to treat his men well. No matter what, the people in the Qingzi camp are all from my Nanqinjiang family, I am not good to you, who is good? ”
His eyes were always on Xiang Lincheng, and he leaned towards Guan Jiyu as he spoke, and said, "In the final analysis, we are a family after all." ”
Xiang Lincheng smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Jiang is really sympathetic to his subordinates, and this style of acting is really admirable to Xiang." ”
Guan Jiyu moved his steps and widened the distance between him and Jiang Yingnian. He leaned back on her without giving up!
"I still have to thank Second Prince Xiang for taking care of our family Ah Yu so much." Jiang Yingnian raised his chin, stared at the cloak in Xiang Lincheng's hand, and said, "It's cold, how noble is the identity of the second son?" You can even give us clothes Ah Yu, if you want me to say that your style of acting is even more admirable. ”
Our family Ah Yu? Guan Jiyu felt that Jiang Yingnian was full of nonsense, and he really didn't have a word to listen to.
It seems that he really took the wrong medicine today.
Xiang Lincheng looked at Guan Jiyu and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”
Guan Jiyu bowed his head and said, "The second son walks slowly." ”
Jiang Yingnian lazily hugged his fist and said perfunctorily: "Go slowly, second son Xiang." ”
When Xiang Lincheng walked away, Guan Jiyu pulled Jiang Yingnian into the house. Jiang Yingnian was pulled in by her and flung it, and staggered a few steps before standing still.
"Okay, you Jiang Yingnian, what kind of nonsense are you playing there?" Guan Jiyu frowned and said, "Can you interfere less in my affairs, don't you sound hypocritical about what you say?" ”
Jiang Yingnian straightened the sleeves that were torn by her, hugged his arms and sneered at her.
"What? Disturbed you and Xiang Ergongzi enjoying the snow? ”
