Hand Medicine Fragrance

Chapter 30
Glancing at her, the old man lowered his eyes, "It's not unpleasant, but it's just that you can't see it. Taking advantage of my son's transfer, I left the capital to relax."

Did something really happen in the capital?

Chai Sujin was a little nervous, but it seemed inappropriate to ask further.

She suddenly turned to look at Yun Ziyi, "Master Yun also came back from the capital, right?"

When Yun Ziyi saw her looking towards her with blue eyes like spiritual springs, she was even more nervous than when she was facing her husband.

"Yes." He nodded slightly, his heart beating slightly faster.

"Is there anything new in the capital? Tell my daughter, who has never been out of Fangcheng, to listen to the excitement at the feet of the emperor?" She asked with a chuckle.

Yun Ziyi's eyes were dazzled by the smile, and she quickly lowered her eyes, "There is nothing new and interesting."

What do girls like to hear?What would she find interesting?
If she doesn't say anything, will she feel that she is not friendly enough?After all, it was she who helped him to enter Xiang's house, and it was her who opened his mouth so that he could avoid unnecessary embarrassment outside of the chess game between the two.

"Oh, before I left, I heard that there was going to be a big happy event in the capital." Seeing her disappointed expression, he said hastily.

"happy event?"

"Yes, I heard that the son-in-law of the original eldest princess is now named the Marquis of An Guo." He cleared his throat slightly, "We will marry the princess of Chu State at the end of the year."

Boom.

Like a muffled thunder, it exploded in Chai Sujin's ears.

She stared blankly at Yun Ziyi, watching his mouth opening and closing, but she couldn't hear any sound.

There was only one sentence that echoed repeatedly in my ears, "My son-in-law is going to marry the princess of Chu."

How long has she been dead?

Has Zhao Yuanzhen forgotten her?

Are you going to marry someone else at the end of the year?

How is this possible?how can……

No, no, no, Mr. Yun Qi must have made a mistake.She is the eldest princess, wouldn't he mourn for her?How could the royal father make him a Marquis when she was in great funeral?How could it be possible to ask him to marry another one?

It's so weird.

Chai Sujin calmed herself down, and said in a slow and steady tone, "How can the eldest princess' son-in-law marry the princess of Chu?"

"You don't know. The eldest princess died of illness at the beginning of the year, and the son-in-law was so heartbroken that he couldn't afford it." Seeing her interest, Yun Ziyi said patiently, "The national doctor tried his best to save his life, but his heart disease was difficult to cure. The Holy One takes pity on him. With deep affection for the eldest princess, he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility to arouse his heart for the court and the people. In the name of the eldest princess, he was not allowed to refuse. Then the son-in-law gradually cheered up."

"Then why let him marry someone else?" Chai Sujin frowned.

"This matter is a bit complicated." Yun Ziyi rubbed his chin with a serious expression, "Chu State asked the Great Zhou to help it resist the Shu State, and originally sent the prince as a hostage. I never thought that the proton had not yet reached the Great Zhou. Unfortunately, the old emperor of Chu State died of illness and passed the throne to his younger brother. The proton also disappeared halfway and disappeared. The new emperor is willing to send his daughter, the princess of Chu State, to come to Dazhou to make a marriage."

"Nonsense!" Mr. Xiang, who had been sitting silently for a long time, suddenly spoke in displeasure, and looked at Yun Ziyi with a reprimand.

Being reprimanded so harshly by Mr. Xiang, Yun Ziyi was taken aback, and quickly lowered her head in fear, not daring to say any more.

Chai Sujin was stunned, unable to recover.

In the blink of an eye, she seemed to be thinking a lot, something seemed to be breaking out of the ground little by little, but it was only a little bit short, so that she couldn't see clearly what was hidden under the thin layer of soil.

"You are interested in the new things in the capital, but I wonder if you are interested in the food in the capital?" When Mr. Xiang turned his face to talk to Chai Sujin, he didn't look serious at all, and his smiling kindness was extraordinary, "Chu Yuan is here This time, I brought two famous chefs from the capital, who are skilled in cooking Beijing dishes."

The old gentleman's tone was rather persuasive.

Chai Sujin's heart is in a mess, many thoughts are entangled in one place, and she can't figure it out. How can she be in the mood to taste the delicious food in the capital?I'm afraid that the delicacies in the capital will make her think about others even more, making her even more depressed.

"No, thank you sir for your kindness. I'll come to have lunch some other day." Chai Sujin hurriedly stood up and blessed her, intending to leave.

Mr. Xiang looked at her very reluctantly, and looked at the chessboard that had been withdrawn aside, "It's still early, why don't you stay a little longer? Why are you leaving so soon?"

Chai Sujin nodded, and respectfully said: "Don't dare to bother Mr., Mr. needs to rest now, and I will come back to take your pulse after two days."

It's not good for Mr. Xiang to stay any longer, and she wanted to see him off in person, but she regarded herself as a junior and refused to say anything.

Yun Ziyi got up quickly and volunteered to see off the old man as a student.

"Thank you, miss." Yun Ziyi said as she walked out of the old gentleman's yard.

Chai Sujin glanced at him, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the mouth, she seemed a little scared, and didn't ask anything.

"If it weren't for the girl's kind words, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to enter the door of the old gentleman's house. Now I will either stand guard outside the door, or I have already returned home." Seeing that she was silent, Yun Ziyi had no choice but to speak.

Chai Sujin frowned slightly, "It's rare to come in, my son should go ask for homework, don't send me off."

Yun Ziyi was slightly taken aback, is this dissatisfaction with herself?

Seeing her preoccupied look, she didn't feel like it, "Miss, are you curious about what's going on in Beijing?"

Chai Sujin smiled slightly, "Who wouldn't be curious about what's going on under the emperor's footsteps? But what you said to Mr. Xiang is right, what I'm talking about is all lies, so you don't need to say more."

Yun Ziyi nodded slightly, Chai Sujin stopped outside the second gate, nodded at him, "Young master, please go back."

After speaking, she got into the carriage without hesitation.

Yun Ziyi stood where she was, watching the carriage go away, it seemed that she still had a faint scent of medicine around her, which made people feel comfortable and peaceful.

"Ah!" The book boy exclaimed.

Yun Ziyi turned her head and patted the boy on the head, "What are you doing in a sudden surprise? This is my teacher's home!"

"My lord forgot to ask that young lady's surname again!" said the book boy, covering his head.

Yun Ziyi's face flushed slightly, "Frivolous!"

The book boy looked at his blushing face and said aggrievedly: "How can this be frivolous? The young master wants to thank him, but he doesn't even know who he is. How insincere is this thank you?"

Yun Ziyi was slightly taken aback.

"Young Master, are you overthinking it?" Shu Tong laughed.

"Talky!" Yun Ziyi turned around and went back to look for the old man.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Mr. Xiang looked at the black and white chessboard alone, clicked his tongue, and his face was full of interest.

Yun Ziyi was silent for a moment, "Why don't you play a game of chess with Mr.?"

Hearing this, Mr. Xiang raised his head to look at him. There was a faint smile under his gray beard, but he said something that had nothing to do with the chess game: "Tell me, why did I come back to Fangcheng at this time?" ?”

Yun Ziyi was stunned, "This..."

"If you figure out the answer, I'll accept you as a student." Mr. Xiang bowed his head to watch the chess game again.
