Qi Zekai paused, blinked slightly awkwardly, and his head was a mess.
Oops, Oops, I can’t hide it anymore. Just such a little trouble has made him so distracted. Will he be laughed at by them if he says it?
Qi Yun narrowed her eyes and looked at Qi Zekai suspiciously.
"Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Yutong also looked over with his chin propped up, his eyes were crooked, but very oppressive.
Qi Zekai: "..."
He turned his eyes to his mother and grandmother for help, and then found that they looked at him with concern on their faces and did not receive his signal for help at all.
He lowered his head in frustration and narrated the recent events in a low voice.
When encountering things related to reading, he always seems a bit aloof, and this time it was the same. Originally, he didn't think it was anything, but the other person was always like this, which still made him feel alienated.
It's swaying from side to side.
After Qi Yun heard this, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she frowned and said, "Is this classmate of yours definitely a person with clear wind and clear moon?"
Qi Zekai nodded: "Yes, he is weaker than me in terms of poetry and poetry, but he has never had any intention of comparison. He treats me with a normal attitude and does not deliberately alienate me."
"Unlike others..."
His face looked slightly lonely, and when his long eyelashes drooped down, from Ling Yutong's perspective, his appearance and outline were extremely similar to Qi Yan's.
Ling Yutong's eyes froze for a moment and soon became clear.
Third brother...
Unlike Ce Ge and Qi Yan, he showed excellent talent in martial arts since he was a child and grew up in a military camp.
He loves reading, and his shorthand memory is almost as good as photographic memory. Therefore, he has been studying at home since he was a child. Except for a few of them, he has no close friends among his peers.
But when the third brother wants to take the imperial examination, he will definitely not be able to communicate with others along the way because of his strong personal ability...
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
"So, this classmate, Third Brother, has been with us for a long time?"
she asked curiously.
Qi Zekai nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
"Then why can't you just ask the other party directly? Why do you have to do this?"
Ling Yutong's eyesight was clear.
According to the third brother, he and his classmates took several exams together. Seeing that the scientific exam was coming, they used to study separately to avoid interference. But this time, the other party seemed to have forgotten about it.
Follow him frequently.
The third brother reminded the other party overtly or covertly, but the other party either avoided the topic, found other things to talk about, or stayed away from.
So far, it has affected the third brother's normal reading habits.
But it seemed to her that the third brother's mentality was also affected unconsciously.
As for the exam, the proportion of basics and mentality has always been half and half.
Qi Zekai was startled when he was asked. He lowered his head and frowned. He didn't know why he didn't speak more clearly, but let the other party go. Maybe, somehow, his intuition was like a small animal.
, in refusing to get closer to the real reason.
He was afraid that if some things were too obvious, he would lose this friend.
Qi Zekai was startled, his eyebrows twitched, and his heart palpitated that he had such an idea.
Ling Yutong's eyes flashed, and he had a slight suspicion in his heart.
Footsteps approached, it was the butler who had arrived.
There seems to be some hesitation about disturbing this peaceful time, but the message delivered by the attendant outside the door is indeed... not very light.
Mrs. Qi raised her eyes and saw the housekeeper's confusion at a glance, and said, "Just tell me."
So, the housekeeper said "Hey" and went to Qi Zekai and said: "Third Young Master, there is a servant who claims to be your friend outside the door, asking you for urgent help. It seems... someone in the family is seriously ill and cannot raise money.
"
Qi Zekai was startled and stood up from his seat suddenly, almost knocking the stone stool over.
"What?"
His reaction was great. He stood up and realized that he was not doing so well. He hurriedly apologized to his grandmother and mother.
He leaned over and bowed: "Grandma, mother, I'm sorry, but there has been such a big change in my friend's family, I..."
Mrs. Qi waved her hand and said in understanding: "Go ahead."
Mrs. Qi also nodded and said a few caring words.
Only Ling Yutong's eyes flashed, and he felt a little uncertain in his heart.
My friend, Third Brother, was also very accurate in timing.
First things went wrong for a few days, which disturbed the third brother's mentality, and then there was trouble at home, so he gave a reasonable explanation for why things were wrong the past few days.
She frowned slightly, hoping that she was overthinking.
However, that afternoon, she had just arrived at Xingyue Pavilion and was preparing for a consultation. When she raised her eyes, she saw the figure of her third brother in the crowd.
Um?
She frowned in confusion, and before she and her third brother could make eye contact, shopkeeper Liu came to her side and whispered: "Girl, the information you asked to pay attention to is available."
"Among the refugees, there is indeed a leader. It is said that he is a man named Zhao. He is young, and his gestures do not look like he grew up in poverty. He has a cool and cautious personality."
"During the investigation, the other party probably discovered some of our whereabouts, but they didn't say anything."
Ling Yutong's eyes moved.
Interfered by Shopkeeper Liu's message, she temporarily forgot about seeing her third brother. She quickly ran through the message in her mind. She was slightly startled, and suddenly thought of something she heard by chance before.
Not sure if it's true.
Rumors at that time said that while the Qi family was still in prison, the first batch of people who were forced by taxes to become refugees had already appeared in northern Xinjiang.
There was great chaos at that time. It is said that the refugees went to northern Xinjiang with the purpose of looking for Qi Songjin, the deceased General Qi.
I want General Qi to uphold justice for them and report the situation of the people.
When the refugees knew that Qi Songjin was no longer leading the garrison in Northern Xinjiang, they were briefly dissatisfied with Annan Hou who later went to Northern Xinjiang.
When the seriousness of the incident reached Kyoto, the storm quickly passed.
Ling Yutong lowered her eyes. At that time, her guess was that someone must have acted as a middleman, controlling the situation so accurately that after achieving the effect, he would no longer be the leader. Therefore, the Holy Emperor could not take the opportunity to punish him, and the refugees would be fine.
Shopkeeper Liu glanced at Ling Yutong, who was deep in thought, and said, "Well, girl, let's..."
Ling Yutong raised his hand: "Don't be too panicked. The other party is friendly. Since they didn't take any measures when they discovered us, then..."
Wait, her eyes trembled.
Suddenly something occurred to me.
When Northern Xinjiang was in chaos, Brother Ce...had he already gone to Northern Xinjiang?
Ling Yutong's hands suddenly clenched and her heartbeat suddenly became violent. She forced herself to calm down and take stock of the timeline.
From the time they discovered the carriage with the message, to the refugees in northern Xinjiang starting a craze about General Qi...
The time is right!
So, maybe that incident of precise stuck points...
