The noble boy likes to play chess

Shu Jing tried his best to ignore the chains on his ankles, and within the range of his activities, he still did what he wanted to do. He didn't look angry, let alone lose his temper, as normal as if nothing had happened.However, how could it be as if nothing had happened in my heart? !He was wronged, very angry, and wanted to vent, but the second prince was also angry, and he couldn't make the relationship worse!

It was Cheng Jingzhi who saw the anklet and had a big fight with the second prince. Of course, not only was it useless, but it also made the second prince ignore him. The second prince ordered Cheng Jingzhi not to come to the courtyard to look for Shu Jing again, otherwise he would be He was transferred to the frontier as a military doctor.Cheng Jingzhi originally wanted to ask the sixth prince to persuade him, but the sixth prince also refused to let him in, as if he had just quarreled with his wife again.

The sixth prince and his wife quarreled every three days. At the beginning, the second prince asked me a question, and asked me three times. It was a trivial matter, so I didn't care about it anymore. Although the quarrel hurts feelings, it is also a way to understand each other. .

In the next few days, the second prince and Shu Jing got along as usual. The second prince didn't question any more, and Shu Jing didn't mention it again. Sometimes, sleeping opposite each other becomes sleeping with the back facing away.Qiao Qingzhi would not come here to inform the second prince whether he would come back for dinner or when he would be back.

The new year is getting closer, but the second prince's small courtyard doesn't seem to have the slightest atmosphere of the New Year. The red lanterns in the courtyard were hung when the sixth prince got married. Butler Lu said that the second prince doesn't like these, but Shu Jing remembered, When I was a child, my second brother liked the Spring Festival, especially the window grilles during the Spring Festival, and I felt very happy.Moreover, to get rid of the old and welcome the new, this yard should be cleaned thoroughly, but even housekeeper Lu didn't care to clean the yard lightly, it was Qiao Qingcang and the others who used to do it.But this year, there were a lot of things to do, and Qiao Qingcang was very busy, so Shu Jing cleaned up slowly by himself.

Shu Jing cleaned the kitchen, bedroom, storage room, etc. spotlessly. Except for some dust in the storage room, other places were always clean, and Shu Jing usually cleaned them.

Only the study room is left. It is a place that Shu Jing has never been to since he lived in this small courtyard. However, the second prince did not seem to forbid him to enter, so Shu Jing hesitated in front of the door, and went in anyway. .

The second prince's study room is crude compared to the study room of ordinary wealthy sons. This room is not a study room, but a utility room. It is not big at first, and the windows are not bright enough. Jing, I guess I don't have much time to read here.

The bookshelves on both sides are almost full of books, most of which are Miscellaneous Notes of Unofficial History, but Shu Jing found that most of these books have no obvious traces of flipping through them. In terms of thickness, it has been useless for at least two days, but the second prince has been to the study for the past two days, and when he returned, he clearly smelled of ink.

Is this study room really not used often, or is it not often used here?

Soon Shu Jing knew the answer. When he moved the chair and wanted to stand on it to wipe the high bookshelf, he found that the sound of the chair being lowered in one place was different from other places. After a closer look, he found that the floor in that place was different from the other places. There are obvious broken marks in other places, and the knocking sound inside the broken marks is relatively crisp, and the bottom is empty, but it cannot be moved by hand, obviously there is a mechanism.

Shu Jing didn't continue to look for the mechanism, but simply cleaned the study.The identity of the second prince is not unique, it is not surprising that there is a passage under the study, Shu Jing is naturally not too surprised.

In the evening, Shu Jing acted like Steward Lu asked for window grilles to be pasted up. However, Steward Lu said that all the beautiful window grilles were picked up by the sixth prince's wife, and most of the rest couldn't be put on the table, so they had to buy new red paper. Cut some nice ones and send them over.

Shu Jing casually asked about the sixth prince's situation, but Steward Lu didn't say much, but said that according to the second prince's wishes, let the new wife learn to take care of some trivial matters, so as not to be idle here all day No, secondly, it will be convenient to help the prince and concubine run the family in the future.Now in the Second Prince's Mansion, apart from this yard, he has to tell her about the food and clothing expenses and the decorations for the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, there will be a banquet in the palace, and the second and sixth princes must go, and the concubine of the prince is not eligible to attend the banquet. At that time, the second prince's mansion is only the wife's master, and she arranges for the New Year's Eve matter, there is nothing wrong with it.

Shu Jing wrote another ingredient list to Steward Lu, saying that he planned to cook a sumptuous dinner on New Year's Eve, so that the second and sixth princes could spend a comfortable New Year in the mansion first, and Steward Lu responded accordingly.

Butler Lu didn't know why the second prince had to lock up Shu Jing. However, the second prince said before that Shu Jing's request should be met as much as possible. You don't need to tell him about small things, and you only need to tell him about important things. This point, the second prince didn't say anything The past is no longer valid, and more importantly, people are locked in the Second Prince's Courtyard.

That night, while the second prince was having supper made by Shu Jing, he asked, "I heard from Steward Lu that you plan to cook a sumptuous dinner on New Year's Eve, so let's spend a New Year's Eve in the mansion first?"

"Yes, what does the Second Highness think?" The second prince always eats what Shu Jing does, so he doesn't even know what to cook that day.

"I also have this plan. When the time comes, I will ask Wen Yang and Jing Er to come together. You should prepare more. Also, make more pastries, not too sweet. I will take some to the palace." The second prince ordered naturally .

"Okay, I've been making some pastries for the past few days. It doesn't matter if you give them every day." Shu Jing knows the taste of the concubine and the concubine, and she likes a little sweetness. However, all the pastries must be vegetarian. For many years, I hardly ate meat.

This meeting still speaks well, but as soon as the second prince went to the study, he came back with a dark face and asked, "Have you been to the study?"

"Well, I cleaned the yard inside and out today." Shu Jing said calmly.

"Who allowed you to enter the study! Don't you know that you can't touch other people's things without their permission? Why are you so rude!" The second prince lost his temper at him.

"If you don't want people to enter, just lock it up. Aren't they just some unscrupulous books, afraid that others will read them?" When the second prince lost his temper, Shu Jing's anger also rose.

The second prince rolled his eyes. Shu Jing said that, it seems that he didn't find anything. Thinking about it, he was also kind, so he couldn't blame him too much, and said sternly: "You are not allowed to enter the study in the future!"

"I don't mind going in!" Shu Jing blurted out.

Seeing that the cat finally got a little wild, the second prince couldn't help laughing: Let's see how long you can hide!
