Qi Yuanxiu · Self-cultivation

Barracks

"Report! A spy has been caught!"

"Cut it off," Ji Xiu didn't look up, but buried himself in the military map, and a group of princes and party members stood beside him.

Just as the little soldier turned around to execute the order, Ji Xiu suddenly thought of something, and suddenly raised his head, "Slow down!"

"Does the lord have any orders?"

Ji Xiu really hoped that he guessed wrong, "Bring him up."

It really was Shan Xuechen.

A group of princes saw the situation and found an excuse to get out of the account.

"Why are you here again?"

Shan Xuechen looked at Ji Xiu who was concentrating on the case, pushed the box up, and said in a soft voice, "...I learned how to make this from accountant Liu, it's called Qingguo..."

Ji Xiu sighed.

"...delicious!"

When he looked up, he saw Shan Xuechen's black eyes like a puppy. Ji Xiu sighed, picked up a piece of blue glutinous rice dumpling, took a bite, then put it down, and looked at Shan Xuechen.

"...You can eat more..."

Ji Xiu wanted to ask Wang Jian, Min and the others for a step up, but he didn't expect that all the princes and gangs ran away cleanly. They are really good people who can observe their words and feelings!Ji Xiu took big bites of the glutinous rice balls until the box was empty.

A smile broke out on Shan Xuechen's face, "I heard Mr. Wang said that you have a bad appetite these days, so I made this. You really like it."

Ji Xiu didn't want to say a word.

Shan Xuechen put away the box and left the barracks happily.

Second day

"Uncle Zhong stewed ginseng soup. After opening it, I ran all the way here. It happened to be lukewarm right now."

"..."

“Very good!”

Shan Xuechen's hands were still red, it seemed that the journey had burned a lot.

It was the first time that Ji Xiu drank such a large cup of chicken soup.

Third day

"Ah Xiu, these are the oranges that Mr. Orange sent to the house. I made syrup."

fourth day

"Axiu, the student wants to see your handwriting."

fifth day

"Axiu Axiu..."

……

"Are you finished!?" On the seventh day, Ji Xiu finally couldn't help but raised his head and scolded Shan Xuechen, "Ah Xiu Ah Xiu! I'm deaf because of you!"

Shan Xuechen was not frightened, and smiled all of a sudden, with a happy face, "You can finally look at me and talk..."

Ji Xiu's face turned red.

He has been busy with political affairs these days, Shan Xuechen really missed him so he came up with this idea.

Gao Bing bit the apple and got the credit, "Xiaobai runs here after class every day, it's really hard for you, but some people always stick their cold butts to other people's hot faces."

"..."

Ji Xiuteng got up abruptly, he didn't bother to pick up the pen when he dropped it on the ground, he dragged Shan Xuechen out of the camp, and walked towards the city.

Shan Xuechen's hand was held by Ji Xiu's big hand, and his heart jumped out. His fingers were so slender, with well-defined joints, that the sword's palm was covered with a thin layer of calluses all the year round, dry and warm. Even if Shan Xuechen died at this time, it would be worthwhile.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the downtown area, surrounded by bustling crowds and hawkers shouting one after another.

Ji Xiu smiled, "You brought me so much food and drink, I can't repay you, I'll buy you whatever you want."

"..."

Seeing that he was silent, Ji Xiu dragged him to a steamed stuffed bun shop, "Give me one as well!"

Holding the steaming steamed buns, Ji Xiu dragged Shan Xuechen to the sugar water stand, "Give me a bowl of orange sugar water!"

"Ten skewers of meat."

"A catty of sugar."

……

Shan Xuechen, who was holding a big bag of food, couldn't hold it anymore, "Axiu, I'm not hungry, really..."

Ji Xiu looked at him, "Then I'm hungry."

The two found a stall and sat down, feasting on it.

"I won't let you go." Ji Xiu suddenly said a very childish sentence.

"what?"

"I said I wouldn't let you go."

Shan Xuechen still laughed.

This kind of Ji Xiu is like a person, a person who can be happy, angry, sad, and get along with others, with warmth in his palm.

Ji Xiu then gnawed on the sauced pig's trotters he bought from the shop, "Don't keep running to my place from now on, this place is full of soldiers who don't know how to be polite."

"Yes."

All the voices around me disappeared, only those words were blasting in my ears, but Shan Xuechen didn't feel sad, his heart was full of happiness that was about to overflow, maybe God let me meet a lot of people, and leave A lot, but I will never leave you.

Ji Xiu moved back to Jinyang Palace.

All the members of the prince's party naturally went back together.

Ji Xiu has really changed a lot when he came back this time, maybe it can't be seen on the surface, but everyone gets along day and night, that cold-hearted prince still has a cold face, but I'm afraid the inside has already begun to melt.

When Shan Xuechen came back this time, the relationship became ambiguous.

When Shan Xuechen and Ji Xiu were around, everyone was not a fool, they knew it well and did not point it out.

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, but because I live in this mountain," Wang Jian slapped a move, killing a large piece of Liu Daxia's chess.

"Hehe, I lost," Liu Shusheng was in a good mood recently, this time he was killed by a Taoist priest, but he just smiled and cleared up the chess game with peace of mind.

In the Huxin Pavilion in front, Ji Xiu and Shan Xuechen leaned together, talking about something, Shan Xuechen looked very happy.

Alas, Wang Jianmo sighed, there is always a feeling that the hard-working cabbage has been crushed by a pig.

Seeing him sigh, Liu Shusheng asked, "Is Mr. Wang married?"

Wang Jian smiled: "Have you ever seen a Taoist get married?"

"Are you a Taoist priest?"

"Previously."

At this time, Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, greeted everyone with a loud voice, and the conversation about Wang Daochang's marriage came to an end.

I don't know if it's because Ji Xiu is in a good mood, or because Jinyang is slowly prospering. The quality of the food is getting better and better every time. Today's food is made by a master from Rongcheng, and the taste is first-class.

That's right, it's a little spicy.

"Xiaoxue doesn't like spicy food?" Wang Daochang barked his teeth and claws.

"Ai."

People in Jinzhou like spicy food or not. When Uncle Zhong was thinking about whether to go back and cook some vegetables for him again, Ji Xiu said:

"You can eat more rice."

Uncle Zhong shook his head, got up and went to cook.

Ji Xiu's IQ and EQ are just inversely proportional.

The shadow of childhood was too heavy, and I forgot the most primitive law of getting along with others-emotion, and the rest were all interests.

I hope Xiaoxue can teach him what it means to love and be loved. What this land needs is not only a conspirator, but also a benevolent monarch.

This is normal.

It happened that Ji Xiu moved back to the palace, and Shan Xuechen ran over every day to ask about his health, which made a bunch of bachelors hate him.

Wang Jian felt that he was lonely, so he asked around, and He Min and the adults naturally didn't need to ask. Fortunately, there were Liu Daxia and Gao Bing, and the three bachelors were not so uncomfortable.

"My mother-in-law is in the country," Liu Daxia smiled, showing big white teeth.

Gao Bing naturally doesn't want to deal with this idiot question, is it necessary to say more?

Wang Jian was thus isolated.

Afterwards, Ji Xiu went to pick up Xiaobai from school every day.

"Come here today, the meeting is over!"

In the government hall, the political affairs were only half analyzed, so Ji Xiu took a picture of the table. Except for Wang Jian, the rest of the people expressed their understanding of this matter, and then our great prince Ji rushed to the back street without looking back.

When I arrived there every day, the students had already finished school, those who had families went home, and those who lived in the boarding house were studying their homework or fetching water for their teachers.

When Ji Xiu was leaning against the door frame today, Mr. Shan still had about a quarter of an hour before he could leave school.

Seeing that Ji Xiu came early, Shan Xuechen became a little nervous, turned around, leaned against a student's inkstone, and rubbed some ink spots on his clothes.

Ji Xiu made a silent movement with his hand, and sat in the last row, which was the seat of the overage student Yang Yannian.

Today, Yang Yannian finally tricked Ran Xiaohan into going out for a spring outing in the afternoon.

Shan Xuechen knew the truth, and went to class quietly. The students didn't know Prince Jinyang, but only knew that this tall and handsome man was a distant relative of Mr. Shan, and would come to pick Mr. Shan home every day.

After the students left after class, the two of them were left in the short room.

Shan Xuechen was packing books and lesson plans, and hurriedly finished packing so that he could go back with Ji Xiu, but unexpectedly, he turned around and was rubbed into his arms by the man's tall body.

Before he could speak, he heard an exclamation.

Shan Xuechen and Ji Xiu both looked up to see the source of the voice.

Yang Yannian covered his mouth with his hands, obviously he was the one who made the sound just now, and there was a black figure standing beside him, the dark guard Ran Xiaohan.

All four of them felt like something had happened.

After all, he was a nobleman, so Ji Xiu was very shy and didn't intend to let go of his hand, even though Xiaobai blushed like a shrimp.

"Master," Ran Xiaohan, our noodle guard, calmly said, he knelt down on one knee as a matter of course, and greeted Lord Ji.

It's getting more and more embarrassing.

"Ah."

The aura of aristocrats is innate, and Ji Xiu has a thick skin for emergencies, pretending that he just passed by accidentally, "Then let's go back first."

"Yes!"

Ran Xiaohan was surprised, but also happy.

Yang Yannian's face turned red.

After Ji Xiu took Shan Xuechen and strode away, Yang Yannian took a breath, "I finally understand why your brothers are so afraid of that little ghost prince."

Spring in Jinyang is so short. As soon as you take off your cotton-padded jacket, you can't help but want to take it off to only a single shirt. At this time, Jinzhou has already entered summer.

The native emperor of Jinzhou, surnamed Ye and named Feiyang.

Ye Feiyang was born as a grass bandit, as his name suggests, he is as nimble and brisk as a flying leaf.The head of Ye Da led a large group of brothers from Taozishan to rush down the mountain to occupy such a good place in Jinzhou. The Shan family in Jinzhou has always been the master with a clear eye and a quick heart, and immediately sent the eldest son as a hostage, saying that the Shan family has always only listened to Ye. The words of the master.

"Young Master Six? Hmph," a hand was raised behind the curtain, "It's really a fool!"

Ye Feiyang made no secret of his dislike for this kind of aristocratic son, "Looking like a girl, if his second wife didn't beg for nothing to send it, I really don't want this kind of person to stay here, bad luck !"

"Why don't you find a chance to kill this person!" The knife head patted his chest.

"I fucking chopped you up first! Damn it!" Bandit Ye shook the head of the knife unceremoniously, "He has stayed with us for so long, have you ever seen someone from the Shan family come to see him? ?”

The head of the knife rolled its eyes.

"The other side probably wants me to do it."

"The head of the house is wise!"

Ye Feiyang unceremoniously shook the head of the knife again, "Wise and wise! Wise and wise! How do you bastards do things? Yesterday, the old five came to me to complain that a group of brothers were beaten ,what happened?"

"This..." Daotou scratched his head, "A few days ago, you, the head of the family, sent brothers to send posts to the rest of the kings. You can enter other places after you tell them. Only one place was hacked."

"Serve the bowl."

"Oh, is that Xia Wan who runs a brothel?"

"No, go to the bowl! Open the academy's go to the bowl!."

The head of the knife lowered his head and told the ins and outs to the head of the family. Ye Feiyang frowned when he heard this.

"How about sour scholars? We've occupied this place for so long, and we all know it well... just those gangsters who don't know how to live or die, what kind of officials do they want? The clerk is really his grandma's trick!"

"Then why the fuck was he still beaten?"

"Originally, I expected a group of sour scholars to have such kung fu. Somehow, the door opened, and there was a scholar riding a white horse with a gun, followed by a dozen men on horseback with guns. They slashed at us. kill."

"His mother was beaten up by a group of students!" Ye Feiyang was furious.

"That group of people have practiced before, you don't know, it's the first time we have suffered such a big loss... At the end, the scholar sang a paragraph, what's 'wolf's ambition dares to contaminate the place of sages', what's 'the world is not benevolent and all things For pigs and dogs... Anyway, it probably means looking down on us!"

"Damn it! It's against him!" Ye Feiyang slapped the window, causing the leaves on the roof to fall quickly, "If you dare to wear my shoes, I will cut off his head and use it as a chamber pot! You , go to Shan's house to get some money, let's take it easy, a dilapidated academy! It's really giving yourself face!"

Ye Feiyang's meaning is obvious, if you don't admit it, then you might as well accept it together, when you want to open a brothel, open a brothel, open a gambling house, open a gambling shop!Fuck you Confucius!

"There is also the Liu family in Hanzhong."

"Being beaten too?"

"No," the knife head carefully accepted the letter in the sleeve, "Old man Liu is going to marry his daughter..."

"The rule of the Leaf Gang is never to be a bandit who robs women!"

"No..." Daotou said, "Old Liu is very willing to associate with us. The unlucky guy who was chopped up by you before is the county magistrate. The business between Hanzhong and Jinzhou is managed by him, and so is Old Liu. A person who knows current affairs, we didn't mention the county magistrate when we passed by, and he was [-]% willing to do it with us, and Lao Er Liu's daughter is going to marry the prince of Jinyang."

"King Jinyang?" Ye Feiyang squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, "What is that called Ji?"

"Ji Xiu," Dao Tou said, "The Liu family wanted to develop this relationship, and the Prince of Jinyang also made a decision."

"When?"

"The third day of junior high school in two months."

Ye Feiyang thinks about it, Jinyang and Jinzhou are separated by a bowl, so there is no need to contact them so far away, but Jinyang has been sending a wild prince to watch over there, but I really don't understand.I don't know what the relationship between Jinyang and Jinzhou was like in the past, but he killed all the gang from the county government and there was no one to ask questions, so he asked, "Has the letter been delivered to Jinyang?"

"It was delivered, and a staff member who looked like a Taoist priest accepted the letter. He was very polite and kept smiling. King Jinyang replied quickly, and he was also willing to make friends with us."

"Well."

"Then I heard about the marriage between Jinyang and Hanzhong on the third day of the next month, what about you?"

"talk later……"

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Bandits are a way of life, and scholars are another way of life. To live is to toss, and to live is also to practice.

Jiang He respectfully put Lang Hao on the pen holder, and two words were impressively displayed on the white rice paper: Calm.

But it was still not perfect, Jiang He suddenly sneezed when he remembered the last stroke, and that stroke still trembled a bit.

This is also a kind of practice.

Jiang He stood calmly with his hands behind his back, looking at this painting, he was like a crane left in the middle of the river, neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither frightened nor surprised by favor or humiliation.

Finding peace in troubled times is rare and precious.
