Chapter 167 Boys
When leaving Yunchao Mountain, Jiang Xi broke a begonia and took it back.
She did not return to Yushan, but went directly to Mu Yushu's cemetery.
The coffin was sealed into the soil early this morning. Only the Mu family were present, and it was not convenient for Jiang Xi to come, so he simply avoided it. Now, there is only one person who is cold and lonely around the cemetery.
Jiang Xi walked forward: "Mu Shisan."
"You are here." Mu Zhao stood in front of the tombstone, suddenly smelled a light fragrance, and turned around and caught a crimson flower.
"I brought it back from Yunchaoshan." Jiang Xi squatted down and inserted the crabapple branches into the soil next to the tombstone, and smiled, "Since she can't go, I will break one branch and bring it back, and I will see it every day in the future."
Mu Zhao looked at the crabapple branch: "Yes, Sisi Niang will be very happy to see it. She can finally be with her favorite Yun Chao crabapple every day... Jiang Jiu, thank you."
"You don't have to say anything, after all, the Fourteenth Lady is my friend."
Jiang Xi stood up and looked back at Mu Zhao, and saw that he had lost all his appearance in just one day, and he was sick and terrible, with his lips terrifyingly pale. He could understand his now withered and bleak mood.
"Don't hurt your body even if you are sad." She patted Mu Zhao's shoulder to comfort her, and mentioned Song Xu whom she met in Yunchaoshan today. "Today someone told me that what we thought was good may not be what the parties involved wanted. Just like the life you arranged for Sisi Niang, it may not be what she wanted. Respecting her choice is also a kind of relief."
Mu Zhao's eyes gradually turned red.
"You're right." His voice became hoarse at some point, "Let's go."
He didn't stay much and was ahead first.
Jiang Xi squinted his eyes and looked at his back, and always felt that there were some unexplainable changes on Mu Zhao.
After erasing the unrestrained part of the past, the vast and restrained jade charm was revealed. The inside of the stubborn stone was also a piece of beautiful jade, and the beautiful jade would also bloom its own brilliance.
——Young people always grow up in all kinds of suffering.
...
When Jiang Xi returned to the Yushan courtyard, he saw Ye Zheng waiting at the door.
"I'm going to go back to Chang'an early and set off soon." He spoke out.
Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, bowed and smiled, "God prince, before leaving, he came to say goodbye to me, a small Yushan student. Jiang Jiu was really frightened."
"Your mouth." Ye Zheng suddenly laughed, and did not feel dissatisfied because of Jiang Xi's casual words.
On the contrary, from the beginning of investigating the censor's case, to the investigation of Yang Zhiyuan, and then to the check-up of Mucher, the two of them went from inquiring about each other at the beginning to the slow intercourse between life and death. It can be said that friends are no longer better than friends.
"You really don't go to Chang'an with me. Chang'an Imperial College is no worse than Yushan in Jiangnan." Ye Zheng rubbed his chin and said his thoughts all the time, "And I don't think you stayed because of how good Yushan is. The feeling you give me... is like a free bird, who will never stay anywhere or because of something."
Jiang Xi glanced at him sideways and said, "You are keen. However, some birds are born free and free, while others have to look for them because they have no place to rely on.
She said it in a very obscure way, but she also revealed some reasons why she didn't go to Chang'an.
Ye Zheng knew that he could not resist her: "Okay, you always make sense of your actions, I can't tell you. But it will be difficult for me to come to Jiangnan in the future. I hope you can come to Chang'an one day. Then I will invite you to see the most beautiful dancer, eat the most delicious food, and drink the strongest wine!"
"Okay, one word is certain!" Jiang Xi raised his chin and smiled freely.
"And Aji, we will receive you together at that time."
"By the way, won't Prince Chu walk with you?"
"He has something to do and he has to catch up with us later. I guess he doesn't have time to say goodbye to you... In fact, you two can become friends too. I think you two really feel like they meet a match."
"Is that true?" Jiang Xi recalled the figure as pure as rime.
Although this Prince Chu is unfathomable, it is still very good to be a friend.
"There will always be a chance." Jiang Xi said vaguely.
Ye Zheng suddenly remembered something, and his big palm of comfort fell on Jiang Xi's shoulder: "I have heard about Mu Shisi Niang, and they have already arranged it, but unfortunately... you are mourning."
Ye Zheng thought that Jiang Xi and Mu Yushu had a little bit of affection.
The marriage between the Mu family and the Sheng family was not as strict as that of the Meng family in Ning family, who was in Chang'an. If they were willing and Jiang Jiulang was talented, they would not have a good result.
It happened to Mu Che's incident, and the innocent Mu Yushu was implicated, and a pair of mandarin ducks were separated by life and death.
It's a miserable life.
Ye Zheng's gaze fell on Jiang Xi with sighing and sympathy, and Jiang Xi seemed to have noticed something.
"Wait, I and Sisi Niang are not...we..." This man was gone, and Jiang Xi didn't know how to explain, so he had to shut up helplessly.
Forget it, just misunderstand. Maybe the Fourteenth Lady is in the Heavenly Spirit, and she will be happier when she sees it?
After Jiang Xi made up his mind, he didn't say much.
Little did they know that the story of Jiang Jiulang's tragic but ended in vain has been widely circulated all over the world.
Outside Jade Mountain, a wilderness.
Chu Ji stood on a high horse, his face was pale but carved like a beautiful jade, reflecting the unique color of mountains and rivers in this forest.
"Master." Atractylodes, who was riding a horse, turned over and knelt down on one knee, and reported guiltily, "We still haven't found it."
Not to mention the steady Atractylodes, even the honeysuckle, which had always been free, felt the condensed atmosphere, quietly lowered her head, and did not dare to interrupt unknowingly at this time.
"Forget it." Chu Ji said coldly, "Let's set off and return to Chang'an."
Atractylodes lancea moved forward and said in panic: "How can that be done! Master! Your illness can't be dragged on like this!"
“Have I said I want to give up?”
"master?"
"According to the original plan, I will send people to the northern border to search."
"……yes!"
Chu Ji took out the medicine bottle from his arms, poured out two, and swallowed it. The tearing pain all over his body gradually faded away and returned to calm.
Chu Ji, who was tortured by pain, could not see it at all on his face.
He grabbed the horse's belly and led the Atractylodes and Ninja Deer. He quickly caught up with Ye Zheng who had already set out and joined the team to escort the retaliated criminals. By the way, he replaced it with a spacious and comfortable carriage and walked all the way to Chang'an.
On the way, Ye Zheng told him about Jiang Xizhi's story.
"It's a pity that you didn't meet her before leaving. I don't know when I will meet her again when I leave. Alas, to be honest, when I stay in Chang'an all day, where can I meet such an interesting person?"
"Don't worry, I'll see you again." Chu Ji, who closed his eyes and rested, suddenly said.
Before Ye Zheng asked again, he closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.
Ye Zheng had no choice but to swallow his words and lay on the table to study the files about Yang Zhiyuan so that he could make a better report in front of His Majesty.
Thinking of Your Majesty, the Palace, Chang'an, and the various people in Chang'an... Ye Zheng's pen tip suddenly paused, and the ink slid down the pen tip, and it blew into a small ball on the paper.
Ye Zheng seemed to be sorry for the half-written paper and sighed.
The peaceful and leisurely days have passed, and I have stepped back into the treacherous human heart.
Chang'an is ahead, Jiangnan is far away.
——The teenagers will eventually bear heavy responsibilities.
...
Jiang Xi sent Ye Zheng away with his front foot, and welcomed Su Ce and Sheng Mingyang Sheng Mingxuan again.
They came to the door with cooked food and fine wine with smiles, and even told people to drive them away.
Jiang Xiyuan wanted to take a few days off, but saw several large jars of fine wine. The recent depression seemed to be dissolved in the wine. So he put aside his original plan, sat down next to the big tree in the yard lively around the table.
"I promised that I won't be drunk today!" Sheng Mingyang slapped the table and said fiercely, "I have the intention to pour so many jars of wine into everyone's throats! This passion is so great!
Sheng Mingxuan approached Jiang Xi and whispered: "Brother Jiu, don't be angry with Brother Six. He also knew about Mu Shisi Niang and wanted to comfort you."
"You all know? By the way, Sheng and Mu have been with each other for many years, how could they not know about this news?" Jiang Xi then realized that it turned out that these people came to her door to comfort her.
No, they shouldn't be the same as Ye Zheng thought...
"Brother Jiu, don't be too sad, and don't be too hurt and never marry forever." Sheng Mingxuan advised Jiang Xi seriously, with his eyes very focused, "If the Fourteenth Lady is in the Spirit of Heaven, I will definitely hope that you will live a good life, start a family and have a happy life..."
"But I really don't..." Jiang Xi was about to explain.
"Jiang Jiu!" Sheng Mingyang held a large bowl full of amber wine and stuffed it directly into Jiang Xi's hands. "Today we all came for you, and we are all friends. I know that you must be depressed now, but don't panic. Once you get drunk, you can relieve your worries. If you drink too much, you can get rid of anything."
"But I..."
"No, but! Don't worry! Not only you drink! I, but also Tan Tong and Lian Fang, will all drink with you!"
After being interrupted for the third time, Jiang Xi had to give up his plan again.
If you don’t explain, don’t explain, drink!
"Okay! I won't go home if I'm drunk today!" Jiang Xi took the initiative to pick up the wine bowl and drank it all.
The other three were infected by her heroic spirit and followed suit.
This is the first time they have changed their wine glass to wine bowls. Not to mention, they taste a bit different.
Unfortunately, the alcohol content is different, and Sheng Mingxuan choked after drinking two sips. However, Sheng Mingyang and Su Ce were both able to keep their faces unchanged, which was not inferior to Jiang Xihao.
I met a close friend and had a few glasses of wine. The jars of wine were all drunk by four people in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Xi can still stand firm, but the other three are basically in a different state.
Jiang Xi called out twice, called Ji Xing and carried them into her room.
"Where are you, Jiulang?"
"I'll go to Afu's house."
Jiang Xi stumbled into Afu's room. Afu, who had been asleep, heard the movement, rubbed his eyes and sat up, and the quilt slid down to reveal his shoulders.
There was a silver mark there, shining brightly under the moonlight.
A basin of cold water poured from the head, Jiang Xi was shocked and woke up suddenly.
The moonlight is like water, and everything is silent.
Jiang Xi sat under the full moon, looked at the unknown distance, and then stayed up all night.
——The teenagers will one day embark on their own path.
