Chapter 15 There is no reason
Xu Que was stunned for a moment, looked at Si Wen's smiling face, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, frowning slightly: "I can't see it, you are not honest in what you say." ”
Si Wen smiled slightly: "I'm just telling the truth." ”
"That's because you don't know me, in fact, I'm still relatively honest and simple. Xu Que raised his head and sighed, and said wistfully.
"Let's keep drinking tea. Si Wen couldn't talk anymore, picked up the teacup, and took another sip.
As a result, the atmosphere on the second floor of this inn became a little strange, obviously two teenagers sitting facing each other drinking tea, but they did not pretend to be old, like two seventy or eighty-year-old men who had gone through vicissitudes, which made the diners at other tables feel crying and laughing.
It's just that no one really dares to laugh out loud, after all, Si Wen's identity is enough to calm many people.
After half a pot of tea, both of them drank a lot, but it was obviously tea, and the two had to pretend to be drinking, and the more they drank, the more melancholy they became, and no one spoke again.
When the people in the inn were almost gone, Si Wen looked at the teacup and suddenly said, "Are you going to the Imperial City next?"
Xu Que was a little inexplicable by this question: "Why do I want to go to the Imperial City?"
"You don't know?" Si Wen looked up at him.
"You said Ji Ling'er?"
"Yes. ”
"Didn't she already get the Star Replenishing Stone, I also plan to leave, and come back to find her after my cultivation is successful. Xu Que has his own thoughts, the next time he comes back, he doesn't want to be sneaky anymore, but comes back openly.
Si Wen shook his head and said, "Then it's too late." ”
"It's late, what's late?" Xu Que was stunned.
"Looks like you don't know. Siwen laughed again.
Xu Que shook his head and was silent, feeling that chatting with Si Wen was very boring.
Si Wen gently put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Do you know how big the opposition of the palace ministers was when the empress gave the star replenishment stone?"
"So what?"
"In order to disagree with the public, she issued an edict to give Ji Ling'er to the sixteenth prince to marry, and she will get married after returning from cultivation three years later, so I guess you will go to the imperial city. After Si Wen finished speaking, he observed Xu Que's expression with interest.
Xu Que didn't disappoint him, his face changed suddenly, and his brows instantly wrinkled into a Sichuan character.
"Why? How could Ji Ling'er agree?" Xu Que's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, and with a snap, the teacup shattered.
No one cared about that teacup, Si Wen's curiosity was only on Xu Que, and he smiled lightly: "Until now, do you still think that the three words 'why' are useful? There are not so many reasons in this world, in fact, only strength." If the empress wants her heir to marry Ji Ling'er, an edict is enough, and she is the empress. She used a tonic star stone in exchange for an auspicious star to prosper the national fortune of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the ministers no longer had any objections. As for Wuhou, it should be even happier, and Wuhou's Mansion will be different from the past. ”
"So whether Ji Ling'er wants it or not, she has to marry the Sixteenth Prince?" Xu Que asked.
"Yes. Si Wen smiled lightly and nodded.
"So you sue me for this, and guess that I will go to the Imperial City, because you have faith in my future and feel that I am the only one who can stop this marriage?" Xu Que's heart moved slightly, as if a trace of fighting spirit was ignited.
But Si Wen shook his head very seriously: "No, you can't stop it, I'm just curious about how you will choose." If it were me, I wouldn't have gone if I knew I couldn't stop it, because I knew it was a rational choice. But I think you're going, so I'm curious about what you think. ”
"......" Xu Que exhaled deeply, looked at the teapot, and didn't want to speak.
Sven continued: "I'm just telling the truth. Since I was a child, I have seen many people, the geniuses of the Star Academy, the princes and princesses of the Imperial City, and some demons cultivated by hidden old monsters, we all have one thing in common, that is, intelligence, or reason, because we know to give up and abandon. But this is the first time I've seen someone like you, and you're weird, knowing that it's impossible, but you still have to run headlong into it, such as a stargazing conference. ”
Xu Que raised his eyebrows, ignoring Si Wen's opinion of him, and said, "I have also seen many people, such as you, such as Wuhou, and the old man of your Si family. ”
"No, I'm still different from them. Siwen shook his head.
"Proof come and see. ”
"How do you prove it?"
"How about lending me a few hundred taels of silver?"
"Huh?"
Si Wen was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.
Xu Que waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just kidding, I just want to test it to see if you are really different." ”
"That's not enough proof that you'll know in the future. Si Wen frowned and shook his head again.
"Oh. Xu Que nodded.
The two were silent again, and at this time the sky gradually darkened, and there were some more guests in the inn, except for the tip, that is, the hotel, and they didn't pay much attention to the two teenagers who had been sitting for a long time but had been drinking tea.
After a while, Xu Que thought for a moment and said, "By the way, can you lend me a few hundred taels?"
"Huh?" Si Wen was stunned again, his face was confused, hadn't he already asked this just now?
Xu Que smiled shyly and said, "This time it's a real loan, you see the way I look now, if I don't have money to buy medicine, it's very difficult." ”
Si Wen reacted at this time, glanced at him, and immediately nodded: "I really have to buy medicine to treat it." ”
He stretched out his hand and took out a large stack of silver tickets, didn't count them, handed them directly to Xu Que, and asked him if it was enough?
"Enough. Xu Que happily took it, stuffed it into his pocket, and didn't count.
Si Wen looked at him with a strange expression again, and finally asked, "In three years, will you go to the Imperial City?"
Xu Que stood up and said lightly: "I want to go, so ...... I'll go. ”
If you want to go, you will go, in fact, they are two completely different things, Xu Que wants to go, so he will definitely go.
Si Wen understood, and he knew that this was what made Xu Que different from them.
In the end, Xu Que thanked Si Wen and said goodbye, and told Si Wen not to waste it, drink the last pot of tea before leaving, and then hurriedly walked down the inn and entered the pharmacy downstairs.
Si Wen watched him leave, sat quietly for a moment, and whispered to himself: "He is indeed an interesting weirdo, and after three years, he may really shock those people, just like when I first met him." If he grows up, he will be an interesting opponent, but ...... Now I know everything about him. ”
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he got up and walked down the inn, but the shopkeeper suddenly stopped him and said, "The guest officer who left just now said that you came to settle the bill." ”
Si Wen was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face froze, he reached out and touched his sleeve, only to find that all the money he was carrying had been lent to Xu Que.
