Warlock Toxic General Please Control Yourself
Chapter 139 Changes in the Su Mansion
Chapter 139 Changes in the Su Mansion
Ji Ziqi said: "Yes, my lord! As long as you do precise calculations, you can roughly calculate where the stone thrown by the trebuchet will fall based on the angle, distance, and weight of the stone!
In this way, an early warning can be issued to reduce casualties! "
"Is this true?" Li Yuan and Zhu Qian exclaimed at the same time.
"Seriously!" Ji Ziqi nodded, "Prince please allow me!"
Li Yuan said: "Okay! The matter of Southern Qin is going well now. I called you here today just to exchange information about each other. If you have nothing to report, we will leave here!"
"Yes, First Prince!"
Ji Ziqi wanted to read and write letters, so Zhang Zhu tactfully stayed in Li Yuan's tent after everyone left.
But she really has something to say to her imperial brother, "Brother, just now about Nanlin Doushi, there are some things that she said in front of so many people, it's hard for her to say it clearly, but you must have already guessed it!
Xi Liemo's trip was aimed at Ziqi, and the reason why he let his sisters leave was probably because during these two brief encounters, he probably understood that Ziqi was a person with national righteousness in his heart.
Such a person would never put his own life and death at the expense of the common people.
If they are forcibly captured, the loss outweighs the gain!But he will definitely find a way to find Ziqi's weakness and force her to submit! "
"Junior Sister Ji's weakness? Jiang Taishi's family, General Du?" Li Yuan frowned.
"En." Zhangzhu nodded, "It may not be easy to catch General Du. But if you want to deal with the unarmed Grand Master Jiang's family, it really doesn't take much effort.
The only problem is that Master Jiang's name is too famous, perhaps this is one of the reasons why Xi Liemo hasn't done anything to Jiang Taishi's family.
Or, he also wants to test for a while, where is the bottom line of this person, and whether it is worth it for him to do so.
But you and I both know that Ji Ziqi definitely has such ability and character, and it is worth Xi Liemo spending more time on subduing her.
So brother, you must tell your father about this matter as soon as possible, and let your father send someone to secretly protect Master Jiang's family. "
"Sister, you are quite right! You have made my brother feel ashamed after you went out!" Li Yuan said comfortingly, "Master Jiang's status is unusual, and my father has sent secret guards to watch in secret. He was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to him and affect the development of Li Guo's magic number world.
However, the Ji family is not well-known, and the emperor should have ignored it. Now that this is the case, I am afraid that they will have to send someone to protect them secretly. "
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Zhu with a complicated expression, "Ashu, if this happens, won't you have more chances with him?"
"Whether my sister has a chance with him, it was never because of Ji Ziqi!" Zhang Zhu said quietly: "Before she appeared, he never cared about my sister.
If something happens to Ji Ziqi, I'm afraid he won't live alone!
Brother, during this trip to Nan'an and Nanlin, my sister has gained a lot of insight following Ziqi.
I know that women's world can also be very big, not only boudoir and back house.
Maybe it's because this vision is opened, and this heart is also let go. My sister doesn't force things that don't belong to my sister!
It's just that after thinking about it for so many years, my sister can't let it go for a while, and she doesn't want to see him have an accident! "
"So, brother," Zhang Zhu glanced at Li Yuan, implying, "It already belongs to someone else, you can snatch it, but Ruoxin already belongs to someone else, it's useless to grab it!
It's just a body!Brother, you can learn from your sister! "
Li Yuan frowned, and forced a smile: "Where is Ah Shu, how can brother be so stupid?"
As soon as Ji Ziqi arrived at the tent, he couldn't wait to open the letter Du Feng left for her:
"Qiqi, you must be very disappointed if you don't see me when you come back, right? I'm going to leave if I don't see you, and I'm also very disappointed, my whole body is very disappointed!"
Ji Ziqi originally had tears in his eyes, but when he saw this sentence and remembered what he meant, he couldn't help but blush and blushed, the devil was disappointed!
"I've heard about you in Nan'an, it's great! I'm proud of you, you are worthy of being my daughter-in-law, my woman!
Presumably in the future, if my husband resigns from the official job and stays at home, he will be able to support him in the future. "
Go, it's a good idea, if you dare to stay at home and try it, this girl will drive you out!
"Qiqi, the time to receive the transfer order is very urgent, I must leave immediately, I don't have time to write too long.
It’s just that I have a regret after leaving, and I hope that the period can satisfy me.
When you come back, please send me the undershirt you wore. The yellow apron was left in the Du Mansion.
Going to the front line, the long night will be long, I will definitely miss you so much, remember to remember!
Also, in the days when I'm not around, you have to take good care of yourself, especially in certain places, which can be more mellow, um, I like it.
If I find that my place is too small after I come back, I will definitely make you look good! "
Ah, bah bah bah!Can't you just say something else?Ji Ziqi smiled and couldn't help making a face.
The regret of not seeing him seemed to have eased a lot.
Ji Ziqi took two deep breaths, restrained his emotions, and wrote a reply letter to Du Feng.
"Du Feng: I didn't see you when I came back. I was really disappointed and worried about you. Xi Liemo, the great king of Xiqiang, is a person who must not be underestimated..."
Ji Ziqi briefly described what happened in Nanlin, and finally focused on her evaluation of Xi Liemo.
"This person is far away in Xiqiang, but he can control all of Nanlin thousands of miles away, and even has his people in the capital under the nose of His Majesty, so it can be seen that his strategy is the same!
In order to get the production plan of the trebuchet, he did not know when he started to lay out the result in secret, until the Nanqin floods led to the situation, and he approached step by step according to the result he wanted.
And in the final result, people can't even say a word about him!
Du Feng, this person is forbearing and decisive, he is definitely a very terrible opponent!If you confront him, you must be cautious!
Xiqiang has now obtained the production plan of the trebuchet, and it must be manufactured in the shortest time.
What I was worried about, did not expect to happen so soon.
As a last resort, I will write down the method of calculating the landing distance of the thrown stones based on the angle weight of the trebuchet, etc.
When the opponent throws stones, you can give an early warning, hoping to help you and reduce the casualties of frontline soldiers! "
Ji Ziqi wrote a long letter for almost two hours before putting down the pen.
After checking it from beginning to end, it was folded and packed into an envelope.
It was late at night and Zhang Zhu hadn't come back yet, Ji Ziqi thought of Du Feng's request and felt a little headache.
She is pretending to be a man now, and she is not wearing a bellyband at all. Where can she find one for him?
Ji Ziqi looked down at his tightly wrapped flat chest, could it be possible to send him the chest wrap?
She thought of the possible look on Du Feng's face when he received the cloth, and couldn't help but laugh first.
Playing a prank in his heart, he took off his outer shirt, untied the cloth strips wrapping his chest, and cut off a piece that was closest to his body.
He took out the letter and added a few more sentences: I am far away in another place, I am dressed as a man, I have lost my bellyband, and I will send you a piece of chest cloth to talk about lovesickness!
Then he put the packed letter and cloth together, and the dagger she bought as a gift to him, packed them together, and climbed onto the bed with a smile.
The attendant in charge of delivering the letter in the morning was taken aback when he saw a small package, isn't it delivering a letter?
Ji Ziqi said calmly: "When I was in Nanlin, I bought a dagger for General Du, please send it to me!"
The reconstruction of the Southern Qin Dynasty has entered the track, and the Yangtze River has also begun to enter the stable navigation. Li Yuan decided to leave some people behind and return to the capital for the rest.
Zhu Qian from the Ministry of Industry, Lord Luo from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Imperial Physician Yu, Ye Yueha and others stayed behind.
The magistrate of Southern Qin who was originally detained by Du Feng was beheaded by Li Yuan in public on the day when Southern Qin began to rebuild.
The current Nanqin was temporarily handed over to the original county magistrate before the arrival of the new magistrate.
After Ji Ziqi and the others explained the matter in hand, they left the scorching South Qin on May [-]th.
The group left without any special announcement, but on the day of departure, all the people in Nanqin City gathered at the gate of the city and knelt down to see each other off.
Due to the floods in the Southern Qin Dynasty, many people had nothing to eat in their homes. They could not give anything to this pedestrian, so they could only express their gratitude by kneeling down.
The sincere reluctance and tears on the face deeply touched the hearts of those who left.
Going out of the city, the people along the way are all seeing off people, which lasts for a full day.
When they left, for some reason, Zhang Zhu and Ji Ziqi shared the same carriage.
Zhang Zhu's eyes were reddened by these kind-hearted people, "As the princess of the Li Kingdom, I believe that the people are in trouble, and the royal family has an unshirkable responsibility to solve it.
I thought I was just doing what I was supposed to do, and never thought of getting the gratitude of these people!However, my people have given me their most sincere gratitude! "
Ji Ziqi said: "Ordinary people are the most peculiar existence in this world, each of them looks inconspicuous like ants, but when gathered together, they can produce amazing power.
If they are good, as we have seen today, they will be the cutest people in the world; if they are evil, they will be worse than the Yangtze River flood, and they will be the most vicious and cruel beasts in the world.
But to do good and evil is only in one thought, and this thought depends on their stomachs, if they are full, they will be docile lambs, and if they are evil, they will be ferocious tigers. "
Zhang Zhu stared at her, raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and smiled half-smile: "Miss Ji, are you talking about this princess?"
"Hehe, Princess," Ji Ziqi said with a smile, "The Minnen only has a feeling for a while. If the Princess doesn't like to listen, the Minnen will stop talking."
After crossing the Yangtze River and entering Xiangxi territory, Ji Ziqi originally wanted to meet Gu Fuzi, but was told that he had already returned to Beijing first.
Compared with the low-key when he went there, when he came back, the Governor of Xiangxi Prefecture prepared a grand welcome feast.
As a result, Ji Ziqi and Zhang Zhu separated naturally.
Ji Ziqi let out a long breath in his heart, and suddenly felt relaxed all over.
It seems that this person still has to get along with the same class to be comfortable. It is undeniable that she admired Zhangzhu from the beginning, and after Nan'an and Nanlin, she admired her even more in her heart.
She felt that Zhang Zhu should also appreciate her very much, but the difference in their identities, and because of Du Feng's relationship, there would always be a strange and vague gap between them.
After Zhang Zhu returned to her princess status, this barrier became more and more obvious, and it made her more and more uncomfortable.
Ji Ziqi was not interested in participating in the welcome feast in Xiangxi, after Xiangxi was Tianshun, she wanted to go back and see Cheng Qingjiang Jiatong and Su Jinyan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Li Yuan agreed, and sent Ah Er to escort her, "Junior Sister, then go to Tianshun to have fun for a few days, see you in the capital then!"
"See you in the capital!" Ji Ziqi said: "But First Prince, Ah Er is your personal bodyguard, it's not appropriate to assign it to me, please send someone else!"
"Junior Sister, don't you still remember Ah Er's destruction of the water-guiding device of the bamboo tube?" Li Yuan had a slight smile on his face, but there was no doubt about it.
"Hehe, the eldest prince is joking. If that's the case, then I'll trouble Ah Er!" Ji Ziqi said, "Thank you, eldest prince!"
Seeing that she agreed, Li Yuan smiled even more, "Junior Sister, you and I are from the same sect, you don't have to be so polite, you should call me Senior Brother!"
Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "Eldest Prince, although you and I are from the same sect, we are only in the Sorcerer Association. Outside, you are the eldest prince. You must not neglect this, so as not to be offended. Please forgive me for not obeying orders."
Li Yuan looked at the same smiling woman in front of him, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, unable to conceal the slight alienation in his words, suddenly felt his heart fell from a high place, his whole body was cold and stiff.
It's just that Ji Ziqi, who left with a salute after speaking, didn't notice that Li Yuan's always proud eyes were slowly turning ice.
Since the trip to the south, Ji Ziqi has deeply realized that she is in the ancient times with strict hierarchy, not just the ancient workplace she thought.
From the moment she entered the Su Mansion to the Tianliang Battlefield, she regarded herself as a member of the ancient workplace, respectful to her boss, friendly to her colleagues, not taking credit, not arrogant, and doing things with her head up, while being a man with her head down.
In addition to etiquette, the rules of the modern workplace are basically fully applicable.At that time, although her life might be in danger, she lived a very smooth life.
Later, when she entered Qilin Academy, she had a certain status to rely on, and it was like revisiting her high school life. She enjoyed the simple and carefree campus life very much.
Although there are some setbacks in getting recognition, in her view, those setbacks are just a small hurdle in life. With her experience and experience, she can face it calmly.
Then to the spell competition, and then to the Sorcerer's Association, she has been adapting well.
She regards ancient times as a big workplace, His Majesty the Emperor is the big boss, Li Yuan and Zhang Zhu are the rich second generations, therefore, she has always been able to handle tasks with ease.
She can order Li Yuan to fight against Bu with a smile, straighten her back and tell Zhang Zhu that Du Feng is her man, she can't take it away, she can't take it away!
But during the trip to the south, Zhang Zhu's words inadvertently made her realize that she had made a big mistake.
She can be friends with the rich second generation, she can laugh and curse with the rich second generation, but the royal family can't!
Maybe in this world, except for loved ones and friends, everyone can use the rules in the workplace to deal with it, but the royal family can't!
In the eyes of the royal people, they are the most noble, majestic and supreme existence in the world, the existence that everyone can only look up to, submit to, and crawl under their feet.
They do not need faith, because they are faith itself, their solemn and sacred status does not allow anyone to violate and desecrate!
Maybe this is not what Li Yuan and Zhang Zhu or all the royal people think and want.
But as long as they are royals, in addition to being responsible to their subjects, they are more obliged to maintain the royal brand, and this is more important than anyone and anything!
Heavier than the common people, heavier than friends, heavier than relatives, even, heavier than themselves!
At that moment, Ji Ziqi understood that what she did in the modern workplace cannot be fully applied here, at least not applicable to the royal family.
So from then on, she made a decision in her heart to stay away from the royal family, not only Zhang Zhu, but also Li Yuan!
Her current status is doomed not to be far away in reality, but in terms of the distance between her hearts, she absolutely cannot get closer, and even has to step back!
The welcome banquet in Xiangxi was quite decent. They had just returned from the disaster-stricken Southern Qin Dynasty, so they couldn't be too extravagant, but they still had the specifications they should have.
Zhang Zhu looked at the carefully prepared food on the table, and thought of the rough tea and light meals in Tian Qin Shi, and realized that she was tasteless.
Mr. Fu Yin has tried his best to keep it simple, but she and the emperor's brother have different identities, so how can it be really simple?
And she couldn't even utter a word of accusation. For the first time, she discovered that the identity of a princess can sometimes be a burden!
Li Yuan held the wine cup in his hand in a daze.
What came to mind was Ji Ziqi's alienation before he left, the face that was obviously smiling, but set up an invisible barrier in front of her.
He unconsciously played with the wine cup in his hand, a sense of cruelty welled up in his heart, and a faint chill seemed to surround his whole body.
Falling into the eyes of the governor of Xiangxi next door, it is the unpredictable power of the future emperor.
Ji Ziqi and Ah Er arrived in Tianshun, found an inn to stay in, saw that it was still early, and went directly to Su Mansion.
From afar, she was taken aback by the plain onyx and white silk that caught her eyes.
Her heart was pounding, there were no elders in the Su residence, Su Xiaonian and Madam Su were still so young, Ji Ziqi didn't even dare to think about what happened in the Su residence, and hurried into the Su residence with Ah Er .
There was a mournful silence in the Su residence, and there was no servant guarding the door, so several of the people coming and going were strangers.
But for more than half a year, what happened to the Su Mansion?
Finally seeing someone he looked familiar with, Ji Ziqi shouted: "An Sheng!" The voice was very abrupt in this quiet mansion.
An Sheng turned his head numbly, stared at Ji Ziqi twice, his already sad face suddenly flattened his mouth, and cried out in a crying voice: "Ziqi!"
He ran over while crying, but when he stopped, he was sobbing and unable to make a sound.
"An Sheng, what happened?" Ji Ziqi asked anxiously.
An Sheng opened his mouth and twitched for a long time before he recovered, "Madam, Madam is dead..."
"Madam Su is dead?" Ji Ziqi was shocked, "How could she die? Where is Master Su? Where is Young Master?"
"A few nights ago, when everyone in the mansion was asleep, suddenly a group of men in black came from nowhere and rushed to the master and madam's room.
He slashed at people with a sword, the wife helped the master block the sword, the dumb uncle arrived later, and helped the master drive away the man in black.In the morning, madam, madam is dead! "
As An Sheng spoke, he began to cry again.
Ji Ziqi's mind went blank for a moment. That gentle Mrs. Su really died?
Her chest suddenly stagnated, and she just felt very uncomfortable. Isn't that Su Xiaonian a secret agent of the imperial court?How could such a thing happen?Did you know something you shouldn't know?
"What about the young master? Where are Nanny Cui, Lingju, Lingyu, An Jie and the rest of the mansion?" Ji Ziqi took two deep breaths and asked after calming down his emotions.
"The young master went to the young master Biao of Luo Mansion that night.
After this happened, many people in the mansion were scared and left quietly.
Fortunately, Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. and Mrs. usually treat our servants well. Although those people were afraid of leaving, they didn't take anything from the house.
Nanny Cui fell ill, Lingju was taking care of her, Lingyu and Uncle Dumb looked at the young master, my brother was busy with the funeral with Manager Wang. "
"Isn't it a few days? Haven't the funeral yet? Where's Master Su?" Ji Ziqi asked puzzled.
"After Madam passed away, Master left, and told Uncle Mute that no one is allowed to disturb Madam, and no funeral is allowed until he returns!
Hearing that Madam's body is now frozen in ice, the young master has been kneeling outside.
The master of Luofu came to quarrel once, saying that she was not allowed to go to the ground when everyone was dead, what was his intention?
But the master was not there, so the dumb uncle only listened to the master's order and blocked the door to prevent Master Luo from entering. Later, the young master Biao came to persuade him. "
An Sheng sniffed, "Ziqi, go and see the young master! Young master, the young master is really pitiful now! Madam died, and the master disappeared for a few days, leaving him alone."
Su Xinyuan was no different from Ji Ziqi's impression except that it was covered with white curtains.
She remembered the first time she met Mrs. Su, the woman with a gentle face that made her feel like a spring breeze, and the woman who still showed a shy and admiring expression like a girl when facing her husband whom she had not seen for a long time.
What a beautiful woman, she passed away so early, I feel so sad.
Approaching Mrs. Su's house, I saw the dumb uncle standing motionless outside the door like a sculpture.
When the dumb uncle saw her, surprise and surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded towards her.
At the door, Su Jinyan, dressed in linen filial piety, turned his back to her, and knelt on a linen mat.
She seemed to have lost the strength of her whole body, her back was hunched, her head was lowered, and she was immersed in deep pain.
Ji Ziqi only took one look at the back, and when his heart ached, tears fell down his cheeks.
"Master!" she called softly.
The figure turned a deaf ear and did not move.
"Master!"
Su Jinyan woke up from his dream, and a familiar voice sounded, as if it brought him back to a year and a half ago.
At that time, many people were there, father was there, mother was there, Xiaofeng was there, Xiaoyu was there, and Ziqi was there.
He rides his bicycle every day, happily goes to school with Xiaoyu, plays with Xiaofeng when he comes back, and asks Ziqi how to solve math problems.
Sometimes everyone goes out together, eating, drinking and having fun with Wu Sanduo, Brother Tang, Cousin Luo, Sister Cheng and Sister **.
However, why did he have nothing in just a few months?
First, Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu Ziqi left, and then Wu Sanduo made an engagement with sister Cheng, and he didn't want to play with him anymore.
Brother Tang began to practice in different shops, so he didn't have time to play with him; Cousin Luo always only concentrated on studying spells, and he didn't want to play with them alone.
Then, now, his mother is gone, his father is missing, and he is the only one in the whole world!
"Master!"
Following the voice, Su Jinyan raised his head, a familiar face, with tears in his eyes, looked at him with pity.
"Ziqi!" Su Jinyan burst into tears suddenly, "My mother is dead! My mother is dead! Woo, woo..."
The 13-year-old Su Jinyan lost her baby fat, and began to have the outline of a boy's face. Her voice was no longer clear and clear, and it was a little darker. Maybe it was hoarse from crying for a long time before.
Ji Ziqi didn't care about the defense between men and women, knelt down on the hemp mat, and hugged him tightly in his arms.
Su Jinyan wept wantonly in her arms, as if he wanted to vent all the pain in his heart.
Ji Ziqi patted his back lightly, and Su Jinyan's tears evoked her deepest nostalgia for her deceased mother in modern times.
The mother who died of liver cancer after knowing her father was having an affair, and the mother who knew that she was seriously ill but pretended to be nonchalant in front of her and endured the pain silently.
It is the deepest pain in this world that a child wants to be raised but the relative is not there!
Facing Su Jinyan who was crying in her arms, Ji Ziqi couldn't say a word, she just hugged him tightly to let him know that he is not the only one in this world!
Slowly, Su Jinyan in his arms became quiet.
Ji Ziqi looked down and found that he was probably tired from crying, but actually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
She raised her head and mouthed to the dumb uncle who had been looking at this side, "Master hasn't slept for a few days!"
The dumb uncle stretched out three fingers.
three days?No wonder Su Jinyan looks so haggard, a 13-year-old boy, like a little old man.
Ji Ziqi wanted to help Su Jinyan go back to the room to rest, but when she moved her legs, she found that she was too numb to stand up.
I could only ask the dumb uncle in a low voice, "Dumb uncle, my legs are numb, help me help the young master back to the room to rest."
Uncle Dumb hesitated for a while, walked up to the two of them, and took Su Jinyan with his hand.
Xu was really tired, when the dumb uncle picked him up, Su Jinyan just subconsciously called "Mother" softly, and rubbed his head against the dumb uncle's arms, just like in his mother's arms when he was a child.
The dumb uncle was stunned for a moment, his nose was sore, he carefully hugged him and put him on the bed in the next room.
Ji Ziqi rubbed his numb legs, stood up and asked An Sheng to find a place to put Ah Er, and followed him in.
"Uncle dumb, I will watch him here, don't worry!"
Uncle Dumb nodded, covered Su Jinyan with the quilt and walked out.
Ji Ziqi walked to the bed, and the boy on the bed had sunken cheeks, swollen eye sockets, and deeply knit brows, as if trapped in an endless nightmare.
The bright, cheerful, bright and chivalrous young boy in my memory has disappeared without a trace.
When Su Jinyan woke up, it was already late at night, and a dim oil lamp was lit in the room. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with shocking whiteness, making him still feel like he was in a dream.
Turning her head slightly, she saw Ji Ziqi, whose head on the side of the bed kept nodding down, like a chicken pecking at millet, with the oil lamp shining on her face half-dark.
Many people have changed, and many things have changed, only Ji Ziqi in his memory still looks like this, which makes people feel so at ease, with her here, Su Jinyan feels that his heart is at ease.
"Ziqi, Ziqi!" Su Jinyan called softly.
Ji Ziqi vaguely heard someone calling him, he woke up in a jerk, blinked, and looked up to meet Su Jinyan's red and swollen eyes, fully awake.
"Master, are you hungry?" She said softly, "I'll ask the kitchen to bring some food over!"
With this reminder, Su Jinyan realized that she was very hungry.
He rubbed his stomach, "You said that, I'm really hungry! You go to rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat."
Ji Ziqi said: "It's okay, I won't be tired after resting just now, why don't I go with you!"
At this time, Su Jinyan really needed company, especially the company of Ji Ziqi, whom he had always trusted, so he nodded.
More than half of the people in the kitchen left, and it looked messy due to no one taking care of it. Su Jinyan turned a blind eye and went straight to the stove to see if there was anything else to eat.
It's a pity that there is nothing in the pot.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. It is now the weather in May and June, and the food cannot be left overnight.
Seeing this, Ji Ziqi said: "Master, wait a minute, I'll serve you a bowl of noodles!"
She hadn't cooked for a long time, she seemed a little flustered, Su Jinyan didn't chase after her, and just sat aside in a daze.
After working for a long time, he finally cooked a bowl of noodles. Ji Ziqi tried the taste and found it to be okay. After nodding with self-satisfaction, he brought it to Su Jinyan.
Su Jinyan was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat with big mouthfuls.
Ji Ziqi said anxiously: "Master, eat slowly, be careful of burning!"
I don't know if it was really hot or what, but Su Jinyan's eye sockets began to turn red quickly again, and the stubborn young man bit his lower lip tightly to prevent the tears from falling from his eyes.
Ji Ziqi didn't say a word, just sat on the side and silently accompanied him.
A bowl of noodles soon bottomed out, and Ji Ziqi asked softly, "Master, do you still want to eat? I'll get you another bowl!"
"No need, Ziqi, I'm already full!" Su Jin said, "Go and rest first, I'm going to watch for my mother." The last two words were already trembling.
"I'll accompany you!" Ji Ziqi took Su Jinyan's hand, smiled but said firmly: "Master, I will accompany you!"
Su Jinyan didn't want to let go of the warmth and strength coming from his palm, so he nodded silently.
Because of Su Xiaonian's order, the Su Mansion did not set up a mourning hall for people to mourn, and did not even notify any outsiders except the Luo Mansion.
Mrs. Su's body was placed on her bed, surrounded by ice cubes.
The weather is hot, every hour or so, the dumb uncle will go in and have a look, if the ice starts to melt, he will add some ice cubes.
When the two came back, Uncle Mute was adding ice to the room, the door was ajar, and the bone-chilling coldness came from the room.
Su Jinyan knelt back on the hemp mat, while Ji Ziqi stood aside, the inside was pitch black, and he could only feel the presence of ice cubes faintly reflecting the cold light.
"Ziqi, with so much ice, do you think mother will be cold?" Su Jinyan said suddenly.
Ji Ziqi was slightly taken aback, speechless.Because until now she couldn't accept that gentle and beautiful woman, she had stopped breathing and lay on the bed for days and nights.
Su Jinyan seemed to just ask this question, and then continued: "The day after tomorrow will be my mother's first seven, do you think she will come back?"
Ji Ziqi didn't know whether Su Jinyan was referring to her, Su Xiaonian, or Mrs. Su.
"Ziqi, are there really ghosts in this world? Do deceased relatives really have dreams?
When I just fell asleep, why didn't my mother come to my dream? Could it be that she had already passed the Naihe bridge and drank Mengpo soup and forgot me? "
Su Jinyan's voice was calm, and through the pale light from the white lantern under the eaves, Ji Ziqi could see the tears rolling down from his eyes, flowing down his cheeks to his chin, and sinking into the linen skirt.
Silent crying is even more heart-wrenching.
"If he doesn't come back after the first seven days, no matter what, I will let my mother go to the ground!" Su Jin said as she spoke, her eyes shifted to the dumb uncle who was guarding the door.
The dumb uncle who looked at him silently, his eyes flickered when he heard this, and he turned his face slightly to one side.
When it was almost dawn, the two finally couldn't take it anymore, Su Jinyan went to the next room to rest, and Ji Ziqi went to the maid's room when he was in Su Xinyuan.
Xia He had already redeemed her body and left, the other little girls were afraid to leave, Xia Mian was the only one in the room, when she saw Ji Ziqi pushing the door in with a tired expression, she gave her her bed in a daze rest.
After Ji Ziqi arrived in Tianshun from Xiangxi, he hadn't rested yet, and stayed with Su Jinyan all night. He was indeed exhausted, so he was not polite at the moment, took off his shoes and went to bed directly to rest.
When he woke up, it was lunch time, and there were two knocks on the door. Ji Ziqi thought it was Xia Mian, and was about to get out of bed to open the door, but the door was already opened.
But it was Ling Ju who pushed the door and entered, "Ziqi, are you awake? The young master told me to wake you up to have dinner."
Lingju was a little thinner than she remembered, but she looked good.
The two of them ignored the pleasantries, Ji Ziqi quickly got out of bed.
When she finished her meal and went to Madam Su's door, Su Jinyan was already kneeling there.
Seeing her, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded.
Perhaps it was because of the crying yesterday. This young man who experienced severe pain is growing at an incredible speed.
He knelt there quietly, not smiling, not speaking, not speaking, his face was not even remotely similar to Su Xiaonian, but he faintly had the same indifferent temperament as Su Xiaonian.
The teenager who is forced to grow up is even more heartbreaking!Ji Ziqi couldn't bear to look any longer, turned his head, and saw the pain in Lingju's red eyes.
Lingju treats him like a younger brother, so in her mind, why doesn't she treat him as half a younger brother?
Ji Ziqi sighed softly, God is so cruel sometimes!
The young man who communicated with Xiaofeng years ago, saying that his parents would take him to the capital to play after the next year, and he would not write a letter until we meet again, became a loner in a blink of an eye!
In the afternoon, Ji Ziqi met a few more acquaintances, Guanshi Wang, and Luo Shu.
There was surprise in the eyes of both of them, but under such circumstances it is really not suitable to ask each other what happened after parting.
There are also Su Wu and Xia He, who used to show up every day to see if there is anything that needs help.
The two had already left the mansion and were no longer the servants of the Su mansion. Steward Wang gratefully refused, saying that when they needed their help, he would definitely speak out.
When they met, they just greeted each other with their eyes, and then silently stayed by Su Jinyan's side.
At dusk, a piercing sound suddenly came from the quiet Su Xinyuan, like a sharp blunt instrument slicing across the ground, which made people's eardrums swell.
(End of this chapter)
Ji Ziqi said: "Yes, my lord! As long as you do precise calculations, you can roughly calculate where the stone thrown by the trebuchet will fall based on the angle, distance, and weight of the stone!
In this way, an early warning can be issued to reduce casualties! "
"Is this true?" Li Yuan and Zhu Qian exclaimed at the same time.
"Seriously!" Ji Ziqi nodded, "Prince please allow me!"
Li Yuan said: "Okay! The matter of Southern Qin is going well now. I called you here today just to exchange information about each other. If you have nothing to report, we will leave here!"
"Yes, First Prince!"
Ji Ziqi wanted to read and write letters, so Zhang Zhu tactfully stayed in Li Yuan's tent after everyone left.
But she really has something to say to her imperial brother, "Brother, just now about Nanlin Doushi, there are some things that she said in front of so many people, it's hard for her to say it clearly, but you must have already guessed it!
Xi Liemo's trip was aimed at Ziqi, and the reason why he let his sisters leave was probably because during these two brief encounters, he probably understood that Ziqi was a person with national righteousness in his heart.
Such a person would never put his own life and death at the expense of the common people.
If they are forcibly captured, the loss outweighs the gain!But he will definitely find a way to find Ziqi's weakness and force her to submit! "
"Junior Sister Ji's weakness? Jiang Taishi's family, General Du?" Li Yuan frowned.
"En." Zhangzhu nodded, "It may not be easy to catch General Du. But if you want to deal with the unarmed Grand Master Jiang's family, it really doesn't take much effort.
The only problem is that Master Jiang's name is too famous, perhaps this is one of the reasons why Xi Liemo hasn't done anything to Jiang Taishi's family.
Or, he also wants to test for a while, where is the bottom line of this person, and whether it is worth it for him to do so.
But you and I both know that Ji Ziqi definitely has such ability and character, and it is worth Xi Liemo spending more time on subduing her.
So brother, you must tell your father about this matter as soon as possible, and let your father send someone to secretly protect Master Jiang's family. "
"Sister, you are quite right! You have made my brother feel ashamed after you went out!" Li Yuan said comfortingly, "Master Jiang's status is unusual, and my father has sent secret guards to watch in secret. He was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to him and affect the development of Li Guo's magic number world.
However, the Ji family is not well-known, and the emperor should have ignored it. Now that this is the case, I am afraid that they will have to send someone to protect them secretly. "
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Zhu with a complicated expression, "Ashu, if this happens, won't you have more chances with him?"
"Whether my sister has a chance with him, it was never because of Ji Ziqi!" Zhang Zhu said quietly: "Before she appeared, he never cared about my sister.
If something happens to Ji Ziqi, I'm afraid he won't live alone!
Brother, during this trip to Nan'an and Nanlin, my sister has gained a lot of insight following Ziqi.
I know that women's world can also be very big, not only boudoir and back house.
Maybe it's because this vision is opened, and this heart is also let go. My sister doesn't force things that don't belong to my sister!
It's just that after thinking about it for so many years, my sister can't let it go for a while, and she doesn't want to see him have an accident! "
"So, brother," Zhang Zhu glanced at Li Yuan, implying, "It already belongs to someone else, you can snatch it, but Ruoxin already belongs to someone else, it's useless to grab it!
It's just a body!Brother, you can learn from your sister! "
Li Yuan frowned, and forced a smile: "Where is Ah Shu, how can brother be so stupid?"
As soon as Ji Ziqi arrived at the tent, he couldn't wait to open the letter Du Feng left for her:
"Qiqi, you must be very disappointed if you don't see me when you come back, right? I'm going to leave if I don't see you, and I'm also very disappointed, my whole body is very disappointed!"
Ji Ziqi originally had tears in his eyes, but when he saw this sentence and remembered what he meant, he couldn't help but blush and blushed, the devil was disappointed!
"I've heard about you in Nan'an, it's great! I'm proud of you, you are worthy of being my daughter-in-law, my woman!
Presumably in the future, if my husband resigns from the official job and stays at home, he will be able to support him in the future. "
Go, it's a good idea, if you dare to stay at home and try it, this girl will drive you out!
"Qiqi, the time to receive the transfer order is very urgent, I must leave immediately, I don't have time to write too long.
It’s just that I have a regret after leaving, and I hope that the period can satisfy me.
When you come back, please send me the undershirt you wore. The yellow apron was left in the Du Mansion.
Going to the front line, the long night will be long, I will definitely miss you so much, remember to remember!
Also, in the days when I'm not around, you have to take good care of yourself, especially in certain places, which can be more mellow, um, I like it.
If I find that my place is too small after I come back, I will definitely make you look good! "
Ah, bah bah bah!Can't you just say something else?Ji Ziqi smiled and couldn't help making a face.
The regret of not seeing him seemed to have eased a lot.
Ji Ziqi took two deep breaths, restrained his emotions, and wrote a reply letter to Du Feng.
"Du Feng: I didn't see you when I came back. I was really disappointed and worried about you. Xi Liemo, the great king of Xiqiang, is a person who must not be underestimated..."
Ji Ziqi briefly described what happened in Nanlin, and finally focused on her evaluation of Xi Liemo.
"This person is far away in Xiqiang, but he can control all of Nanlin thousands of miles away, and even has his people in the capital under the nose of His Majesty, so it can be seen that his strategy is the same!
In order to get the production plan of the trebuchet, he did not know when he started to lay out the result in secret, until the Nanqin floods led to the situation, and he approached step by step according to the result he wanted.
And in the final result, people can't even say a word about him!
Du Feng, this person is forbearing and decisive, he is definitely a very terrible opponent!If you confront him, you must be cautious!
Xiqiang has now obtained the production plan of the trebuchet, and it must be manufactured in the shortest time.
What I was worried about, did not expect to happen so soon.
As a last resort, I will write down the method of calculating the landing distance of the thrown stones based on the angle weight of the trebuchet, etc.
When the opponent throws stones, you can give an early warning, hoping to help you and reduce the casualties of frontline soldiers! "
Ji Ziqi wrote a long letter for almost two hours before putting down the pen.
After checking it from beginning to end, it was folded and packed into an envelope.
It was late at night and Zhang Zhu hadn't come back yet, Ji Ziqi thought of Du Feng's request and felt a little headache.
She is pretending to be a man now, and she is not wearing a bellyband at all. Where can she find one for him?
Ji Ziqi looked down at his tightly wrapped flat chest, could it be possible to send him the chest wrap?
She thought of the possible look on Du Feng's face when he received the cloth, and couldn't help but laugh first.
Playing a prank in his heart, he took off his outer shirt, untied the cloth strips wrapping his chest, and cut off a piece that was closest to his body.
He took out the letter and added a few more sentences: I am far away in another place, I am dressed as a man, I have lost my bellyband, and I will send you a piece of chest cloth to talk about lovesickness!
Then he put the packed letter and cloth together, and the dagger she bought as a gift to him, packed them together, and climbed onto the bed with a smile.
The attendant in charge of delivering the letter in the morning was taken aback when he saw a small package, isn't it delivering a letter?
Ji Ziqi said calmly: "When I was in Nanlin, I bought a dagger for General Du, please send it to me!"
The reconstruction of the Southern Qin Dynasty has entered the track, and the Yangtze River has also begun to enter the stable navigation. Li Yuan decided to leave some people behind and return to the capital for the rest.
Zhu Qian from the Ministry of Industry, Lord Luo from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Imperial Physician Yu, Ye Yueha and others stayed behind.
The magistrate of Southern Qin who was originally detained by Du Feng was beheaded by Li Yuan in public on the day when Southern Qin began to rebuild.
The current Nanqin was temporarily handed over to the original county magistrate before the arrival of the new magistrate.
After Ji Ziqi and the others explained the matter in hand, they left the scorching South Qin on May [-]th.
The group left without any special announcement, but on the day of departure, all the people in Nanqin City gathered at the gate of the city and knelt down to see each other off.
Due to the floods in the Southern Qin Dynasty, many people had nothing to eat in their homes. They could not give anything to this pedestrian, so they could only express their gratitude by kneeling down.
The sincere reluctance and tears on the face deeply touched the hearts of those who left.
Going out of the city, the people along the way are all seeing off people, which lasts for a full day.
When they left, for some reason, Zhang Zhu and Ji Ziqi shared the same carriage.
Zhang Zhu's eyes were reddened by these kind-hearted people, "As the princess of the Li Kingdom, I believe that the people are in trouble, and the royal family has an unshirkable responsibility to solve it.
I thought I was just doing what I was supposed to do, and never thought of getting the gratitude of these people!However, my people have given me their most sincere gratitude! "
Ji Ziqi said: "Ordinary people are the most peculiar existence in this world, each of them looks inconspicuous like ants, but when gathered together, they can produce amazing power.
If they are good, as we have seen today, they will be the cutest people in the world; if they are evil, they will be worse than the Yangtze River flood, and they will be the most vicious and cruel beasts in the world.
But to do good and evil is only in one thought, and this thought depends on their stomachs, if they are full, they will be docile lambs, and if they are evil, they will be ferocious tigers. "
Zhang Zhu stared at her, raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and smiled half-smile: "Miss Ji, are you talking about this princess?"
"Hehe, Princess," Ji Ziqi said with a smile, "The Minnen only has a feeling for a while. If the Princess doesn't like to listen, the Minnen will stop talking."
After crossing the Yangtze River and entering Xiangxi territory, Ji Ziqi originally wanted to meet Gu Fuzi, but was told that he had already returned to Beijing first.
Compared with the low-key when he went there, when he came back, the Governor of Xiangxi Prefecture prepared a grand welcome feast.
As a result, Ji Ziqi and Zhang Zhu separated naturally.
Ji Ziqi let out a long breath in his heart, and suddenly felt relaxed all over.
It seems that this person still has to get along with the same class to be comfortable. It is undeniable that she admired Zhangzhu from the beginning, and after Nan'an and Nanlin, she admired her even more in her heart.
She felt that Zhang Zhu should also appreciate her very much, but the difference in their identities, and because of Du Feng's relationship, there would always be a strange and vague gap between them.
After Zhang Zhu returned to her princess status, this barrier became more and more obvious, and it made her more and more uncomfortable.
Ji Ziqi was not interested in participating in the welcome feast in Xiangxi, after Xiangxi was Tianshun, she wanted to go back and see Cheng Qingjiang Jiatong and Su Jinyan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Li Yuan agreed, and sent Ah Er to escort her, "Junior Sister, then go to Tianshun to have fun for a few days, see you in the capital then!"
"See you in the capital!" Ji Ziqi said: "But First Prince, Ah Er is your personal bodyguard, it's not appropriate to assign it to me, please send someone else!"
"Junior Sister, don't you still remember Ah Er's destruction of the water-guiding device of the bamboo tube?" Li Yuan had a slight smile on his face, but there was no doubt about it.
"Hehe, the eldest prince is joking. If that's the case, then I'll trouble Ah Er!" Ji Ziqi said, "Thank you, eldest prince!"
Seeing that she agreed, Li Yuan smiled even more, "Junior Sister, you and I are from the same sect, you don't have to be so polite, you should call me Senior Brother!"
Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "Eldest Prince, although you and I are from the same sect, we are only in the Sorcerer Association. Outside, you are the eldest prince. You must not neglect this, so as not to be offended. Please forgive me for not obeying orders."
Li Yuan looked at the same smiling woman in front of him, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, unable to conceal the slight alienation in his words, suddenly felt his heart fell from a high place, his whole body was cold and stiff.
It's just that Ji Ziqi, who left with a salute after speaking, didn't notice that Li Yuan's always proud eyes were slowly turning ice.
Since the trip to the south, Ji Ziqi has deeply realized that she is in the ancient times with strict hierarchy, not just the ancient workplace she thought.
From the moment she entered the Su Mansion to the Tianliang Battlefield, she regarded herself as a member of the ancient workplace, respectful to her boss, friendly to her colleagues, not taking credit, not arrogant, and doing things with her head up, while being a man with her head down.
In addition to etiquette, the rules of the modern workplace are basically fully applicable.At that time, although her life might be in danger, she lived a very smooth life.
Later, when she entered Qilin Academy, she had a certain status to rely on, and it was like revisiting her high school life. She enjoyed the simple and carefree campus life very much.
Although there are some setbacks in getting recognition, in her view, those setbacks are just a small hurdle in life. With her experience and experience, she can face it calmly.
Then to the spell competition, and then to the Sorcerer's Association, she has been adapting well.
She regards ancient times as a big workplace, His Majesty the Emperor is the big boss, Li Yuan and Zhang Zhu are the rich second generations, therefore, she has always been able to handle tasks with ease.
She can order Li Yuan to fight against Bu with a smile, straighten her back and tell Zhang Zhu that Du Feng is her man, she can't take it away, she can't take it away!
But during the trip to the south, Zhang Zhu's words inadvertently made her realize that she had made a big mistake.
She can be friends with the rich second generation, she can laugh and curse with the rich second generation, but the royal family can't!
Maybe in this world, except for loved ones and friends, everyone can use the rules in the workplace to deal with it, but the royal family can't!
In the eyes of the royal people, they are the most noble, majestic and supreme existence in the world, the existence that everyone can only look up to, submit to, and crawl under their feet.
They do not need faith, because they are faith itself, their solemn and sacred status does not allow anyone to violate and desecrate!
Maybe this is not what Li Yuan and Zhang Zhu or all the royal people think and want.
But as long as they are royals, in addition to being responsible to their subjects, they are more obliged to maintain the royal brand, and this is more important than anyone and anything!
Heavier than the common people, heavier than friends, heavier than relatives, even, heavier than themselves!
At that moment, Ji Ziqi understood that what she did in the modern workplace cannot be fully applied here, at least not applicable to the royal family.
So from then on, she made a decision in her heart to stay away from the royal family, not only Zhang Zhu, but also Li Yuan!
Her current status is doomed not to be far away in reality, but in terms of the distance between her hearts, she absolutely cannot get closer, and even has to step back!
The welcome banquet in Xiangxi was quite decent. They had just returned from the disaster-stricken Southern Qin Dynasty, so they couldn't be too extravagant, but they still had the specifications they should have.
Zhang Zhu looked at the carefully prepared food on the table, and thought of the rough tea and light meals in Tian Qin Shi, and realized that she was tasteless.
Mr. Fu Yin has tried his best to keep it simple, but she and the emperor's brother have different identities, so how can it be really simple?
And she couldn't even utter a word of accusation. For the first time, she discovered that the identity of a princess can sometimes be a burden!
Li Yuan held the wine cup in his hand in a daze.
What came to mind was Ji Ziqi's alienation before he left, the face that was obviously smiling, but set up an invisible barrier in front of her.
He unconsciously played with the wine cup in his hand, a sense of cruelty welled up in his heart, and a faint chill seemed to surround his whole body.
Falling into the eyes of the governor of Xiangxi next door, it is the unpredictable power of the future emperor.
Ji Ziqi and Ah Er arrived in Tianshun, found an inn to stay in, saw that it was still early, and went directly to Su Mansion.
From afar, she was taken aback by the plain onyx and white silk that caught her eyes.
Her heart was pounding, there were no elders in the Su residence, Su Xiaonian and Madam Su were still so young, Ji Ziqi didn't even dare to think about what happened in the Su residence, and hurried into the Su residence with Ah Er .
There was a mournful silence in the Su residence, and there was no servant guarding the door, so several of the people coming and going were strangers.
But for more than half a year, what happened to the Su Mansion?
Finally seeing someone he looked familiar with, Ji Ziqi shouted: "An Sheng!" The voice was very abrupt in this quiet mansion.
An Sheng turned his head numbly, stared at Ji Ziqi twice, his already sad face suddenly flattened his mouth, and cried out in a crying voice: "Ziqi!"
He ran over while crying, but when he stopped, he was sobbing and unable to make a sound.
"An Sheng, what happened?" Ji Ziqi asked anxiously.
An Sheng opened his mouth and twitched for a long time before he recovered, "Madam, Madam is dead..."
"Madam Su is dead?" Ji Ziqi was shocked, "How could she die? Where is Master Su? Where is Young Master?"
"A few nights ago, when everyone in the mansion was asleep, suddenly a group of men in black came from nowhere and rushed to the master and madam's room.
He slashed at people with a sword, the wife helped the master block the sword, the dumb uncle arrived later, and helped the master drive away the man in black.In the morning, madam, madam is dead! "
As An Sheng spoke, he began to cry again.
Ji Ziqi's mind went blank for a moment. That gentle Mrs. Su really died?
Her chest suddenly stagnated, and she just felt very uncomfortable. Isn't that Su Xiaonian a secret agent of the imperial court?How could such a thing happen?Did you know something you shouldn't know?
"What about the young master? Where are Nanny Cui, Lingju, Lingyu, An Jie and the rest of the mansion?" Ji Ziqi took two deep breaths and asked after calming down his emotions.
"The young master went to the young master Biao of Luo Mansion that night.
After this happened, many people in the mansion were scared and left quietly.
Fortunately, Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. and Mrs. usually treat our servants well. Although those people were afraid of leaving, they didn't take anything from the house.
Nanny Cui fell ill, Lingju was taking care of her, Lingyu and Uncle Dumb looked at the young master, my brother was busy with the funeral with Manager Wang. "
"Isn't it a few days? Haven't the funeral yet? Where's Master Su?" Ji Ziqi asked puzzled.
"After Madam passed away, Master left, and told Uncle Mute that no one is allowed to disturb Madam, and no funeral is allowed until he returns!
Hearing that Madam's body is now frozen in ice, the young master has been kneeling outside.
The master of Luofu came to quarrel once, saying that she was not allowed to go to the ground when everyone was dead, what was his intention?
But the master was not there, so the dumb uncle only listened to the master's order and blocked the door to prevent Master Luo from entering. Later, the young master Biao came to persuade him. "
An Sheng sniffed, "Ziqi, go and see the young master! Young master, the young master is really pitiful now! Madam died, and the master disappeared for a few days, leaving him alone."
Su Xinyuan was no different from Ji Ziqi's impression except that it was covered with white curtains.
She remembered the first time she met Mrs. Su, the woman with a gentle face that made her feel like a spring breeze, and the woman who still showed a shy and admiring expression like a girl when facing her husband whom she had not seen for a long time.
What a beautiful woman, she passed away so early, I feel so sad.
Approaching Mrs. Su's house, I saw the dumb uncle standing motionless outside the door like a sculpture.
When the dumb uncle saw her, surprise and surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded towards her.
At the door, Su Jinyan, dressed in linen filial piety, turned his back to her, and knelt on a linen mat.
She seemed to have lost the strength of her whole body, her back was hunched, her head was lowered, and she was immersed in deep pain.
Ji Ziqi only took one look at the back, and when his heart ached, tears fell down his cheeks.
"Master!" she called softly.
The figure turned a deaf ear and did not move.
"Master!"
Su Jinyan woke up from his dream, and a familiar voice sounded, as if it brought him back to a year and a half ago.
At that time, many people were there, father was there, mother was there, Xiaofeng was there, Xiaoyu was there, and Ziqi was there.
He rides his bicycle every day, happily goes to school with Xiaoyu, plays with Xiaofeng when he comes back, and asks Ziqi how to solve math problems.
Sometimes everyone goes out together, eating, drinking and having fun with Wu Sanduo, Brother Tang, Cousin Luo, Sister Cheng and Sister **.
However, why did he have nothing in just a few months?
First, Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu Ziqi left, and then Wu Sanduo made an engagement with sister Cheng, and he didn't want to play with him anymore.
Brother Tang began to practice in different shops, so he didn't have time to play with him; Cousin Luo always only concentrated on studying spells, and he didn't want to play with them alone.
Then, now, his mother is gone, his father is missing, and he is the only one in the whole world!
"Master!"
Following the voice, Su Jinyan raised his head, a familiar face, with tears in his eyes, looked at him with pity.
"Ziqi!" Su Jinyan burst into tears suddenly, "My mother is dead! My mother is dead! Woo, woo..."
The 13-year-old Su Jinyan lost her baby fat, and began to have the outline of a boy's face. Her voice was no longer clear and clear, and it was a little darker. Maybe it was hoarse from crying for a long time before.
Ji Ziqi didn't care about the defense between men and women, knelt down on the hemp mat, and hugged him tightly in his arms.
Su Jinyan wept wantonly in her arms, as if he wanted to vent all the pain in his heart.
Ji Ziqi patted his back lightly, and Su Jinyan's tears evoked her deepest nostalgia for her deceased mother in modern times.
The mother who died of liver cancer after knowing her father was having an affair, and the mother who knew that she was seriously ill but pretended to be nonchalant in front of her and endured the pain silently.
It is the deepest pain in this world that a child wants to be raised but the relative is not there!
Facing Su Jinyan who was crying in her arms, Ji Ziqi couldn't say a word, she just hugged him tightly to let him know that he is not the only one in this world!
Slowly, Su Jinyan in his arms became quiet.
Ji Ziqi looked down and found that he was probably tired from crying, but actually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
She raised her head and mouthed to the dumb uncle who had been looking at this side, "Master hasn't slept for a few days!"
The dumb uncle stretched out three fingers.
three days?No wonder Su Jinyan looks so haggard, a 13-year-old boy, like a little old man.
Ji Ziqi wanted to help Su Jinyan go back to the room to rest, but when she moved her legs, she found that she was too numb to stand up.
I could only ask the dumb uncle in a low voice, "Dumb uncle, my legs are numb, help me help the young master back to the room to rest."
Uncle Dumb hesitated for a while, walked up to the two of them, and took Su Jinyan with his hand.
Xu was really tired, when the dumb uncle picked him up, Su Jinyan just subconsciously called "Mother" softly, and rubbed his head against the dumb uncle's arms, just like in his mother's arms when he was a child.
The dumb uncle was stunned for a moment, his nose was sore, he carefully hugged him and put him on the bed in the next room.
Ji Ziqi rubbed his numb legs, stood up and asked An Sheng to find a place to put Ah Er, and followed him in.
"Uncle dumb, I will watch him here, don't worry!"
Uncle Dumb nodded, covered Su Jinyan with the quilt and walked out.
Ji Ziqi walked to the bed, and the boy on the bed had sunken cheeks, swollen eye sockets, and deeply knit brows, as if trapped in an endless nightmare.
The bright, cheerful, bright and chivalrous young boy in my memory has disappeared without a trace.
When Su Jinyan woke up, it was already late at night, and a dim oil lamp was lit in the room. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with shocking whiteness, making him still feel like he was in a dream.
Turning her head slightly, she saw Ji Ziqi, whose head on the side of the bed kept nodding down, like a chicken pecking at millet, with the oil lamp shining on her face half-dark.
Many people have changed, and many things have changed, only Ji Ziqi in his memory still looks like this, which makes people feel so at ease, with her here, Su Jinyan feels that his heart is at ease.
"Ziqi, Ziqi!" Su Jinyan called softly.
Ji Ziqi vaguely heard someone calling him, he woke up in a jerk, blinked, and looked up to meet Su Jinyan's red and swollen eyes, fully awake.
"Master, are you hungry?" She said softly, "I'll ask the kitchen to bring some food over!"
With this reminder, Su Jinyan realized that she was very hungry.
He rubbed his stomach, "You said that, I'm really hungry! You go to rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat."
Ji Ziqi said: "It's okay, I won't be tired after resting just now, why don't I go with you!"
At this time, Su Jinyan really needed company, especially the company of Ji Ziqi, whom he had always trusted, so he nodded.
More than half of the people in the kitchen left, and it looked messy due to no one taking care of it. Su Jinyan turned a blind eye and went straight to the stove to see if there was anything else to eat.
It's a pity that there is nothing in the pot.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. It is now the weather in May and June, and the food cannot be left overnight.
Seeing this, Ji Ziqi said: "Master, wait a minute, I'll serve you a bowl of noodles!"
She hadn't cooked for a long time, she seemed a little flustered, Su Jinyan didn't chase after her, and just sat aside in a daze.
After working for a long time, he finally cooked a bowl of noodles. Ji Ziqi tried the taste and found it to be okay. After nodding with self-satisfaction, he brought it to Su Jinyan.
Su Jinyan was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat with big mouthfuls.
Ji Ziqi said anxiously: "Master, eat slowly, be careful of burning!"
I don't know if it was really hot or what, but Su Jinyan's eye sockets began to turn red quickly again, and the stubborn young man bit his lower lip tightly to prevent the tears from falling from his eyes.
Ji Ziqi didn't say a word, just sat on the side and silently accompanied him.
A bowl of noodles soon bottomed out, and Ji Ziqi asked softly, "Master, do you still want to eat? I'll get you another bowl!"
"No need, Ziqi, I'm already full!" Su Jin said, "Go and rest first, I'm going to watch for my mother." The last two words were already trembling.
"I'll accompany you!" Ji Ziqi took Su Jinyan's hand, smiled but said firmly: "Master, I will accompany you!"
Su Jinyan didn't want to let go of the warmth and strength coming from his palm, so he nodded silently.
Because of Su Xiaonian's order, the Su Mansion did not set up a mourning hall for people to mourn, and did not even notify any outsiders except the Luo Mansion.
Mrs. Su's body was placed on her bed, surrounded by ice cubes.
The weather is hot, every hour or so, the dumb uncle will go in and have a look, if the ice starts to melt, he will add some ice cubes.
When the two came back, Uncle Mute was adding ice to the room, the door was ajar, and the bone-chilling coldness came from the room.
Su Jinyan knelt back on the hemp mat, while Ji Ziqi stood aside, the inside was pitch black, and he could only feel the presence of ice cubes faintly reflecting the cold light.
"Ziqi, with so much ice, do you think mother will be cold?" Su Jinyan said suddenly.
Ji Ziqi was slightly taken aback, speechless.Because until now she couldn't accept that gentle and beautiful woman, she had stopped breathing and lay on the bed for days and nights.
Su Jinyan seemed to just ask this question, and then continued: "The day after tomorrow will be my mother's first seven, do you think she will come back?"
Ji Ziqi didn't know whether Su Jinyan was referring to her, Su Xiaonian, or Mrs. Su.
"Ziqi, are there really ghosts in this world? Do deceased relatives really have dreams?
When I just fell asleep, why didn't my mother come to my dream? Could it be that she had already passed the Naihe bridge and drank Mengpo soup and forgot me? "
Su Jinyan's voice was calm, and through the pale light from the white lantern under the eaves, Ji Ziqi could see the tears rolling down from his eyes, flowing down his cheeks to his chin, and sinking into the linen skirt.
Silent crying is even more heart-wrenching.
"If he doesn't come back after the first seven days, no matter what, I will let my mother go to the ground!" Su Jin said as she spoke, her eyes shifted to the dumb uncle who was guarding the door.
The dumb uncle who looked at him silently, his eyes flickered when he heard this, and he turned his face slightly to one side.
When it was almost dawn, the two finally couldn't take it anymore, Su Jinyan went to the next room to rest, and Ji Ziqi went to the maid's room when he was in Su Xinyuan.
Xia He had already redeemed her body and left, the other little girls were afraid to leave, Xia Mian was the only one in the room, when she saw Ji Ziqi pushing the door in with a tired expression, she gave her her bed in a daze rest.
After Ji Ziqi arrived in Tianshun from Xiangxi, he hadn't rested yet, and stayed with Su Jinyan all night. He was indeed exhausted, so he was not polite at the moment, took off his shoes and went to bed directly to rest.
When he woke up, it was lunch time, and there were two knocks on the door. Ji Ziqi thought it was Xia Mian, and was about to get out of bed to open the door, but the door was already opened.
But it was Ling Ju who pushed the door and entered, "Ziqi, are you awake? The young master told me to wake you up to have dinner."
Lingju was a little thinner than she remembered, but she looked good.
The two of them ignored the pleasantries, Ji Ziqi quickly got out of bed.
When she finished her meal and went to Madam Su's door, Su Jinyan was already kneeling there.
Seeing her, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded.
Perhaps it was because of the crying yesterday. This young man who experienced severe pain is growing at an incredible speed.
He knelt there quietly, not smiling, not speaking, not speaking, his face was not even remotely similar to Su Xiaonian, but he faintly had the same indifferent temperament as Su Xiaonian.
The teenager who is forced to grow up is even more heartbreaking!Ji Ziqi couldn't bear to look any longer, turned his head, and saw the pain in Lingju's red eyes.
Lingju treats him like a younger brother, so in her mind, why doesn't she treat him as half a younger brother?
Ji Ziqi sighed softly, God is so cruel sometimes!
The young man who communicated with Xiaofeng years ago, saying that his parents would take him to the capital to play after the next year, and he would not write a letter until we meet again, became a loner in a blink of an eye!
In the afternoon, Ji Ziqi met a few more acquaintances, Guanshi Wang, and Luo Shu.
There was surprise in the eyes of both of them, but under such circumstances it is really not suitable to ask each other what happened after parting.
There are also Su Wu and Xia He, who used to show up every day to see if there is anything that needs help.
The two had already left the mansion and were no longer the servants of the Su mansion. Steward Wang gratefully refused, saying that when they needed their help, he would definitely speak out.
When they met, they just greeted each other with their eyes, and then silently stayed by Su Jinyan's side.
At dusk, a piercing sound suddenly came from the quiet Su Xinyuan, like a sharp blunt instrument slicing across the ground, which made people's eardrums swell.
