Chapter 37 Appointment
The pharmacy usually doesn't close until late at night, and Dr. Yu is worried that it will not be safe for Jiang Shining to return late, so he asks Jiang Shining to go back early every time, and today is no exception.
Jiang Shining didn't know what kind of demon she was with today, and she kept remembering what Cheng Yu said, so that her pace on the street became slower and slower, and finally stopped, thought for a long time, turned around and wanted to walk towards the city, but as a result, she bumped into Jiang Yong and Chen Yuan, who was dressed in plain clothes in black and red. Probably because Chen Yuan didn't wear a forbidden military uniform, he didn't even bring his usual saber with him.
It wasn't surprising to see Jiang Yong, but when he saw Chen Yuan, his eyes widened in surprise.
Jiang Yong stepped forward, "I just called Sister A, but Sister didn't seem to hear it." β
Jiang Shining sneered, bluntly said that he was thinking about things, and then turned the topic to Chen Yuan and asked him why he came.
Jiang Yong replied for Chen Yuan, saying that he was given two days off by the above, Chen Yuan and Jiang Yong were buddies who grew up together after all, they were like siblings, and it was rare to have time, so Chen Yuan came to visit, and by the way, he stayed away from the disputes with him in the officialdom.
So, Jiang Shining was dragged by Jiang Yong and the two to have supper on the grounds that it was rare to get together, and Jiang Shining couldn't find a reason to shirk it, so he had to follow. When talking about Jiang Susu during the period, Chen Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, "Hey, let me be clean, your sister is really making a lot of trouble." β
Jiang Yong and the others found a restaurant, not to drink, but to have everything. The location is in the open air on the second floor, with wind and scenery, but it is an excellent location. Jiang Shining didn't have anything to eat, they ate whatever they ordered, and both of them were greedy for wine, so they ordered two pots of wine. When the wine is opened, the aroma of the wine is strong, Jiang Shining knows that it is the best autumn dew when he hears it, Jiang Shining still has some research on wine, she can make wine, and she can also drink, the amount of wine is okay, and she followed Jiang He.
Jiang Shining knocked on the nuts, while looking at the bustling street lamps outside, while listening to Chen Yuan talk about Fu'an, Chen Yuan knew that Jiang Shining was studying medicine, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions, and the three of them chattered, and there were some trivial things. Jiang Shining touched a jar of wine and poured himself a glass, Jiang Yong saw it, and was stopped by Jiang Shining just as he wanted to say something, she said, "It's just a glass, it's not intoxicating." β
Hearing Sister Ah say this, Jiang Yong didn't say anything, so he let her.
Jiang Shining took a sip, the aroma was soft, the entrance was soft, but the aftertaste was pleasant.
When she looked at Chen Yuan, Jiang Shining couldn't help but think of her ex-fiancΓ©, and she couldn't help asking, "Has the third prince been recovered?"
Chen Yuan shook his head and sighed slightly, "The emperor withdrew the order to find the three princes, presumably because he knew the traces of the three princes." β
Jiang Shining's first reaction was that the third prince was still alive.
"Do you know why the third prince disappeared?"
Chen Yuan shook his head again, "It's just that I suddenly received a message from my superiors, saying that I don't need to look for it anymore, so it's okay to save myself from worrying every day." β
Jiang Yong opened his mouth at this time and asked, "Sister, I heard that you asked Ah Yuan for the portrait of the third prince, Sister, are you really ......" The latter words were slashed back into Jiang Shining's stomach with a sharp look. Jiang Yong saw Sister A's look of "try one more word", and turned his eyes helplessly, but his eyes were attracted by the blood-red beads on Jiang Shining's hand, and he said "Huh", "The beads on Sister A's hand are so chic." β
Hearing this, Jiang Shining seemed to be snooped on, and after a spirit, he pretended to be casual and covered it with his sleeve, and said, "I bought it casually." β
Jiang Yong didn't think much about it.
Chen Yuan put down his wine glass, this was the fourth time he noticed Jiang Shining's absent-mindedness, so he asked, "Sister Shining, is there something urgent?"
Jiang Shining came back to his senses with an "ah" and looked at Chen Yuan, and Jiang Yong also looked over. As if his mind was being seen through, Jiang Shining lowered his head as if he was covering, stroked the hair that was blowing in his ears, and then smiled, "How can I be, I've been listening to you." β
Chen Yuan seemed to understand something, "Sister Shining must be bored with the topic of my two big men. After supper, we went to the market for a walk, and when we first came to the south of the city, we took a look at it, and it was still early in the morning, so we hurried to eat first. β
Jiang Shining pursed her lips, her eyelashes drooped, and then she raised again, she stared at Jiang Yong and the two, Jiang Yong and Chen Yuan were both stared at by her, stunned, silent for a while, waiting for Jiang Shining to speak.
I only heard Jiang Shining say: "Otherwise, you can eat first, I can't eat anymore, so I'll go back first." As he spoke, he got up and stood up, and when he turned to leave, he said, "This wine is very strong, don't drink too much!"
Jiang Yong almost wanted to stop Jiang Shining, but he just turned around, stopped the words he blurted out subconsciously in time, and changed them to another meaningful words, "Pay attention on the way back!" Jiang Yong smiled.
Chen Yuan stared at Jiang Shining's figure disappearing into the building, and asked for a long time, "Shouldn't I ask Sister Shining to have supper with me today?"
Jiang Yong smiled, "It's okay." Then he poured a cup for Chen Yuan.
Jiang Shining walked out of the restaurant, she looked up at the open air on the second floor, and could vaguely see Jiang Yong and Chen Yuan, but they didn't look down, but Jiang Shining still quickly left the range of sight. They had been with Jiang Yong for more than half an hour, and it should be past the end of the day, but the streets were still lively and endless. Although the night market in the south of the city is not as lively as Fu'an, it has been open for a long time, and basically it will not close its stalls when it is not enough.
The head of the city is close to the city gate in the south of the city, there is a river, the river is murmuring, reflecting the night, and the opposite bank of the drinking river is an arch bridge, the passers-by on the bridge walk, the night is noisy, and the lights on both sides of the bank are colorful.
Jiang Shining walked briskly to that time, her forehead was already a little sweaty, and during this time, she saw things that she shouldn't see in the pedestrian world, but she ignored them as usual. According to what Cheng Yu said, she had already arrived at the bridge, but she looked left and right, and did not see Bai Jiuyue's figure, she should have just been late, could he not wait to leave first? Or is Cheng Yu lying to her, but Cheng Yu should not be so boring to lie to her. But no matter what it was, she took it to heart after all, hurriedly left Jiang Yong and them, and came here in a hurry.
Just when Jiang Shining couldn't find anyone and was about to turn around and leave, someone was already approaching her behind her, and the person didn't seem to expect her to turn around suddenly, so Jiang Shining almost hit her head-on, but fortunately, she reacted too quickly and took two steps back in time to avoid a collision. But when he saw the person coming clearly, Jiang Shining was slightly stunned, only to see Bai Jiuyue standing with his hands in his hands, the red robe on his body looked dark red in the night, but on the contrary, his complexion was white, with a delicate and transparent handsome face, and his eyes were shining. Bai Jiuyue looked at Jiang Shining, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the pear swirled open. Jiang Shining's heart jumped, the astonishment in his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and at the same time, he sighed in his heart, the beauty is attractive!
But Jiang Shining looked at him and glared at him, "Why don't you walk silently?"
Bai Jiuyue tilted his head when he heard this, and casually admitted his mistake. Laughing: "Okay, it's my fault." β
Bai Jiuyue's answer made Jiang Shining's ears crimson, this is like a daughter's coquettishness has been spoiled by her sweetheart! Jiang Shining didn't know how he could come up with these deviations in his heart, Jiang Shining didn't dare to say anything more, straightened his face, his eyes drifted to the side, and he snorted: "I heard Cheng Yu say, you are waiting for me here, is that so?"
Bai Jiuyue was slightly stunned for a moment, but quickly remembered something and responded casually. But Jiang Shining didn't see his micro-expression.
"Why didn't you see it just now...... See you?"
"You've been drinking?"
The two asked almost at the same time, stunned at the same time, and looked at each other again.
Jiang Shining replied first: "Well, just have a drink." β
Casually, Bai Jiuyue pointed to the other side of the bridge and said, "I was just over there, and after seeing you, I walked over." β
Jiang Shining lowered his head and responded in a low voice.
At this time, a small boat rowed across the river, and when Bai Jiuyue saw this, he turned around and asked Jiang Shining, "Do you want to take a boat?"
Jiang Shining: "Huh?"
Jiang Shining followed Bai Jiuyue's line of sight and saw the small boat.
Bai Jiu Yue raised his hand and beckoned, the boatman saw that there was business, and immediately bent the pole over, slowly docked the bow of the boat to the shore, Bai Jiu Yue took Jiang Shining and walked over, Bai Jiu Yue got on the boat first, turned around and stretched out his hand, Jiang Shining lifted his skirt slightly, then stretched out his hand and put his hand into his hand, Bai Jiu Yue took Jiang Shining's hand and helped her to get on the boat, Jiang Shining felt the boat shaking before he stood still, Jiang Shining subconsciously grabbed Bai Jiuyue's arm, Bai Jiu Yue held her, and the boatman on the other end shouted, " Sit down, both of you!"
Jiang Shining looked up at Bai Jiuyue, she grabbed the hand under his shirt, and clearly sensed that his arm strength was steadily supporting her, making her stand firm.
Jiang Shining looked away, let go of Bai Jiu Yue, Bai Jiu Yue took a step back, and led Jiang Shining into the boat and sat down. The river reflects the scenery on the shore, and there are thousands of lights, and some people step on the riverside, and some people put them into the water with river lanterns and close their eyes and pray.
The breeze came slowly, hitting his cheeks, blowing the hair on Jiang Shining's forehead, Jiang Shining looked at every fluttering river lamp on the river surface, each river lamp carried the wish of the lantern maker, the small candlelight swayed and swayed under the slight ripple of the water waves and the shadow became a pair, floating into the river, floating into the distance.
The boat slowly glided into the middle of the river, gliding forward steadily, the river lanterns wafting from the shore around the boat, and the water ripples under the boat dispersed the river lanterns close to the hull.
Bai Jiuyue poured a cup of tea and put it to his lips and smelled it, feeling that it was okay, so he poured another cup and put it in front of Jiang Shining.
Jiang Shining had seen enough of the night market on the street, turned around and said to Bai Jiuyue with a smile: "It's the first time I've taken a boat, I'm a little dizzy when I stare at the river, I feel like I'm floating on water, the night scene in the south of the city is not as prosperous as Fu'an, but it's also good-looking." β
"If you like it, if you like. Bai Jiuyue looked at her and said lightly.
"Hmm. At this time, Jiang Shining was happy in his heart, and a smile spread on his face.
But then it slowly faded away, Jiang Shining briefly told Baijiu what happened to the Xie family today, Jiang Shining didn't know what kind of psychology he was, he felt that he was just feeling sorry for Xie Zhendi's child, who was still so young, and had to face many changes.
Hearing this, Bai Jiuyue put down the cup in his hand, he pondered for a moment, and finally spoke: "Things are not as they seem. β
Jiang Shining: "Huh?"
"It wasn't her husband who killed Xie Zhendi. β
Jiang Shining was surprised, looked up at Bai Jiuyue, and his eyes seemed to be asking, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm afraid that even Xie Zhendi herself doesn't know. β
But her husband pleaded guilty. β
"Hmm. Bai Jiuyue responded in a low voice, and the inexplicable response made Jiang Shining want to beat people a little, as if he knew something but deliberately didn't tell you.
Seeing that Jiang Shining couldn't be amused, Bai Jiuyue had no choice but to spread out the words, "Xie Zhendi's husband killed someone, but he didn't kill Xie Zhendi." β
As soon as Bai Jiuyue's words were finished, an eerie cold wind suddenly gushed out behind Jiang Shining, which was Jiang Shining's familiar psychological induction, and Bai Jiuyue, who was sitting opposite, also had a gloomy face, staring sharply at Jiang Shining's back.
Jiang Shining had already prepared in her heart, turned her head, and sure enough, Xie Zhendi's ghost was floating behind her, floating at the bow of the boat, surrounded by several black gases, which was obviously different from what she saw yesterday.
