When Ting Lei came back from Jie Chi's courtyard, it was already completely dark. He had previously thought that Jie Chi would be doing nothing good by looking for him. However, as soon as he arrived at Luoying Courtyard and saw Jie Chi's broken roof, he understood what he meant.
Although he looks strong, he is really just a doctor!
But in other people's territory, Tinglei couldn't refuse. In addition, since he said the remuneration was indispensable, Tinglei did it as a part-time job. It happened that he also wanted to save some money for his wife recently.
No, after discussing it for a while, the sky turned completely dark, and it was impossible to start work at night. Ting Lei came back after staying for a while.
Before leaving, he deliberately sprinkled a layer of medicinal powder at the entrance to the courtyard and on the roof of the surrounding wall. If anyone had come, he would have found that the medicinal powder from the courtyard entrance to the small courtyard was destroyed, and the medicinal powder on the roof was also destroyed. It can be seen that he came here.
At least two persons.
Ting Lei was shocked and quickly opened the door. He saw Tianji sitting beside the chessboard safe and sound, playing chess with him. He breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the mask on his face, he was stunned for a moment, "Master... but the ninth princess?"
"
If it were someone else, the master would definitely not put on a mask and want to see him, and would probably send him away with just a few words.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tinglei noticed the porcelain bottle placed next to the chessboard and next to Tianji.
"Is this the medicine sent by the Ninth Princess?"
Everyone knew that Su Jiu borrowed medicine from a pharmacy for the first time, and the hand she showed on the ring showed that she was good at both medicine and poison.
Su Jiu was playing black chess this time, "I'm just curious, has Mr. Tianji been to Beiyan Kingdom? There are many novel and interesting things in the long street of the capital. If Mr. Tianji has nothing to do recently, you can go there and have a look. Beiyan Kingdom
The scenery will definitely not disappoint Mr. Tianji."
Wait, palace?
Isn't it right? The Ninth Princess was sure of it so quickly?
Ting Lei didn't dare to say anything. If the relationship between the two was average, Su Jiu's request would be too much. To put it bluntly, he just didn't have any sense of proportion.
It's just that this face is slightly different from the memory, and it's a little bloodier than before.
But why not expose him?
Su Hongxuan was puzzled, but he was very attached to the beautiful and warm atmosphere now. After he was sent to Longquan in a coma, when he woke up again, his life had changed. Concubine Liu Guifei had already become Concubine Liu. Without his illness,
Although the mother was grieved for her useless son for a while, she finally got out of the haze of losing her son with Jingqin's comfort and company.
When she saw the style of the wheelchair, Su Jiu had a guess in her mind. After Tianji agreed to play chess with her, Su Jiu was already very sure.
Tianji took his time and dropped a sunspot, "Yeah."
Tianji turned his head. At this time, there was only one candle burning at the entrance of the small courtyard. The room was bright, and the courtyard became increasingly dark. Looking from inside to outside, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on outside.
"Mr. Tianji, you lose."
However, Su Hongxuan, who was still in a coma, suddenly convulsed, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and the only blood on his lips faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Su Jiu sat cross-legged on the futon and said she was playing chess, so she really started playing chess with him seriously.
"In this way..." Su Hongxuan lowered his eyes, naturally feeling indescribably disappointed in his heart, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Is this an invitation to him to go to Beiyan Country?
Su Hongxuan moved his lips and wanted to ask again, but suddenly he felt an indescribable tiredness welling up like a tide, and his eyelids also twitched up and down. The Su Jiu in front of him changed from one to several, "
Jiu...you..."
"master!"
It is better to return to the palace earlier, and save those who are sending memorials trouble.
"How about..." Ting Lei moved his lips, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a clear voice suddenly coming from the door.
Therefore, after hearing that Concubine Liu was in good health and that Jingqin was happily married, Su Hongxuan had nothing to worry about except Jiu'er.
It's over, the Ninth Princess really found out!
Since the master didn't express any opinions, Ting Lei naturally didn't dare to say anything.
"When I came back, I happened to meet my relatives who were looking for me. My relatives were busy and spent a lot of time looking for me. If I don't go back, I'm afraid it would be bad." After finishing the meal, Su Jiu noticed that Su Lixun had almost nothing on the table.
A pile of memorials.
Su Jiu thought for a while, took out the porcelain bottle from her arms, pinched open his mouth, poured the liquid in the porcelain bottle into it, then rolled up his trouser legs and checked carefully, except that it might be caused by being in a wheelchair all year round.
There were no other side effects except that the leg muscles seemed to be weak. Su Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to apply the medicine she had just given to Su Hongxuan on him.
The reverse is also true.
Su Jiu slowly pushed Tianji to sit in his original position.
Inside the house.
Su Jiu put her hands behind her back and did not speak. Instead, she looked at Tinglei and said, "I want to eat milk cake."
"Oh, it's okay. I just think that Mr. Tianji's wheelchair is very exquisitely made, and I can't help but be fascinated by it."
"Is Mr. Tianji a native of the Western Jin Dynasty?"
"No trouble, no trouble."
Su Jiu frowned when she heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling in the room. Did he get sick again just now? It had only been less than an hour.
"If Miss Jiu is not in trouble..." Before Tianji could say anything, Su Jiu couldn't wait to step forward, squeezed Ting Lei away, and reached out to hold the wheelchair.
Seeing that Su Jiu had not spoken for a long time, Tianji repeated it strangely.
When Su Hongxuan heard this, his fingertips curled up unconsciously and clenched into fists. He felt as if his throat was blocked by something, making it extremely dry and uncomfortable.
"Then...if Miss Jiu doesn't mind, you can play chess with Tianji. As long as Miss Jiu has time, Tianji will definitely accompany you."
"Third brother is indeed still so innocent."
The candlelight on the table crackled, emphasizing the quietness of the room.
Su Jiu knelt down and put her fingertips on his wrist.
"I hope so too, but I should be leaving Jingfa Temple tomorrow."
Su Jiu didn't speak. She stared at the wheelchair Tianji was sitting in, her brows furrowed into a "well" shape.
"I have been playing alone for almost ten years, and Mr. Tianji is still my first chess friend since I came down from the mountain?" Su Jiu raised her head and said with emotion.
If it were anyone else, Tianji would not be able to tolerate these words again and again, but...
Ting Lei took a few steps forward, and just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of the mask placed randomly on the chessboard. The vest fell off so fast, "Ninth Princess, the master is ill."
Ting Lei saw that Su Jiu didn't look right, so he subconsciously followed her line of sight. When he saw his master's wheelchair, his eyebrows skipped a beat. Damn it, this wheelchair... was the one given to Qige by the Ninth Princess.
That drawing, except that Lao Zhao didn't use those fancy things, but the general outline was the same.
Isn't it right? The master fell off his horse so quickly?
"Miss Jiu?"
The master has been suffering from illness since he was born. He has seen all kinds of suffering clearly. His heart cannot be said to be cold and hard. It can only be said that he has seen through the coldness of the world. There are many people who care in his heart, and there are less than one person who can care that much.
Fingers.
"Mr. Tianji."
When he saw Su Hongxuan's appearance, he immediately understood what happened, "Jiu..."
It wasn't until he heard Su Hongxuan's painful groan coming from the house that he couldn't hold back and pushed the door open and entered.
"Why is your body still so weak after so many years?" Su Jiu didn't know what happened that year, but in her memory, the third brother's health was indeed not very good. Even Dr. Chu could not save the third brother. If
According to his physical condition at that time, he probably wouldn't have been able to survive for a few years, let alone survive until now. It is conceivable that the third brother's fake death must have something to do with this.
Su Hongxuan's pulse was extremely disordered, and nothing could be measured at all. It was unknown whether it was because he was unconscious. The pain that he could suppress when he was awake could not be controlled at all now, and he groaned in pain unconsciously.
Just when Su Hongxuan was watching Su Jiu in trance, Su Jiu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Su Hongxuan came back to his senses and saw the girl smiling slyly at him, with two small pear dimples showing at the corners of her lips, just like before.
Ting Lei still wanted to follow in, but he never thought that Su Jiu had just pushed Tian Ji in a little, turned around, stopped, and slammed the door shut, almost missing Ting Lei's nose.
But no matter what, life is the most important thing. Su Jiu was still sad for several years when she learned about the death of her third brother.
In this Jingfa Temple, cabbage leaves are stewed with tofu every day, and there is not even a trace of fishy meat. Where does the milk cake come from?
If you really want to buy this thing, I'm afraid you have to use Qinggong to go to the nearest town to buy it, and milk is not uncommon. After all, the cows in people's homes are cultivated, so how can they be so extravagant to produce milk?
In the palace.
After all, the Ninth Princess was the most beloved person of the master back then.
Su Jiu couldn't see clearly the expression behind Tianji's mask. Seeing that neither of them responded, Su Jiu looked past Tianji into the room and did not continue to embarrass Lei.
But the lips are still slightly white, and they are healthy, but not completely healthy.
"Mr. Tianji plays the white chess piece, and I will play the black chess piece."
Tianji sat in a wheelchair and asked softly.
An extremely familiar face appeared in front of her eyes. Although the third brother opened his eyes a little like the fifth brother, his eyebrows and outlines could not change. Su Jiu was sure it was Su Hongxuan at a glance.
Su Hongxuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the chessboard, showing a fond smile, "Yes, I lost, Miss Jiu is really good at chess." In his memory, the little guy dozed off as soon as he saw the book and the chessboard.
After reading a few lines of words, my mind was filled with memories.
Su Jiu came back to her senses, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. It was this smile that caught Ting Lei's eyes, and it felt so permeating. Should he remind his master that the drawings of this wheelchair were made by the Ninth Princess?
hand?
"Expose yourself more deeply. If Miss Jiu has nothing else to do, please go back first." Tianji made a gesture of seeing off guests, with suppressed emotions in his eyes as if they were about to burst out in the next second.
Legend has it that the dragon, the master of Tianji Pavilion, never sees its end, has an indifferent and distant temperament, and never gets close to anyone, especially women.
Su Jiu would be really stupid if he couldn't see his performance just now.
"Mr. Tianji seems to be playing chess. Could you please give me some advice?"
In addition, something like that happened to the Ninth Princess again that year, and the master may feel guilty.
These days, Su Lixun may have wasted a lot of time on the road. She was afraid that her fifth brother would die suddenly.
There has been a popular saying among the people that there is no filial son in bed for a long time.
When Ting Lei opened the door at the right time, he knew that his master just couldn't let go of the Ninth Princess.
The white chess piece fell from Tianji's hand and fell to the chessboard.
"Master?" See you or not?
"Anything is fine." Tianji nodded.
'Click!'
Su Jiu spoke in a brisk tone, "Take the black chess piece with your left hand, and play the white chess piece with your right hand."
Ting Lei looked at his master, it was clear that he had softened his heart. Master, he still wanted to talk to the Ninth Princess more, even if it was just a normal chat.
"No, why did Miss Jiu ask like this?" Su Hongxuan was puzzled.
Su Jiu used a thin bamboo to gently fiddle with the candle wick that was about to fall into the candle oil, put the candle closer, and then sat down.
"Miss Jiu, why do you come here at night?"
Su Jiu put her hand on his wrist again.
"what happened?"
"Tomorrow?" Tianji raised his head and met Su Jiu's eyes. He seemed to be aware of his somewhat urgent tone, and slowly lowered his voice and asked: "Didn't Miss Jiu just come back from Penglai Island today? Why don't you fix it more?
How many days?”
The candlelight flickered, and under the mask, Tianji's eyes flickered brightly. Finally, with a soft sigh, he manually pushed the wheelchair to the door.
Su Jiu sorted the pieces on the chessboard, placed another piece, and asked.
Ting Lei:......
Jiu'er...recognized him.
Tinglei had followed Tianji for many years, so he naturally understood the emotional fluctuations behind his calm tone.
Su Hongxuan tilted his head and was about to hit the chessboard hard, but was held up by a small hand, saving him from the danger of being hit.
Tianji dropped a piece and raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu, who was holding his head with one hand and looking at the chessboard seriously, and unconsciously fell into a trance.
Ting Lei did not dare to go far and stayed at the door. With his martial arts skills, he could clearly hear the unabashed conversation between the two people in the room even if he didn't listen carefully. However, after listening for a while, he gradually couldn't hear his master's voice.
Now, under normal circumstances, Tinglei would have been unable to help but break into the house, but when he thought that the Ninth Princess was inside, Tinglei restrained himself. Anyway, no matter what the Ninth Princess did, his master would always pamper him.
Yes, what is he, a subordinate, messing around with, right?
Ting Lei:......
"I learned this chess game by myself by reading books. My master doesn't like playing chess. He thinks it's time-consuming. He also has all kinds of music scores, which makes people's heads spin. I have no choice but to play it by myself."
really.
Concubine Liu would not be really happy when he was around. As far as she was concerned, even if it was something she was really happy about, whenever she thought of him, Concubine Liu might feel happy and sorry for him.
Su Jiu straightened Su Hongxuan's head, let him lean on the back of the chair, stood up, walked around behind him, and took off the mask on his face.
"I'm not blind."
Su Jiu didn't even look at Ting Lei, she picked up Su Hongxuan with both hands and put him on the couch.
All the clothes on his upper and lower body were stripped off, leaving only a pair of obscene pants.
