Qi Yuanxiu · Self-cultivation

The restaurant Shan Xuechen was looking for was just an ordinary small restaurant. The restaurant was not very popular, and there were a few dogs on the ground looking for food.

Shan Xuechen poured wine for Ju Mingzhi, and then filled it up for himself, "It's a great honor to be able to come back safely, and it's an incomparably joyful thing to be alive."

Ju Mingzhi was silent, drinking a glass of wine, the wine was cheap sorghum wine mixed with water, it was as sweet as rice wine.

"Mister's speech today is very interesting, and I am very happy to hear it. Let's have another drink."

Ju Mingzhi drank another glass of wine.

When Shan Xuechen filled Ju Mingzhi again, Ju Mingzhi blocked the wine glass with his hand, "Xiaobai, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting. When old friends meet, naturally they should drink a few more glasses," Shan Xuechen smiled.

Ju Mingzhi rolled his eyes, snatched the wine bottle from Shan Xuechen's hand, tilted his neck, gurgling, and drank two taels of sorghum wine, "Okay, I've finished drinking all the wine," Ju Mingzhi looked at Xiaobai with no joke on his face, "What's wrong with you today?"

Shan Xuechen was still smiling, smiling, and stopped smiling. He tried hard to control the corners of his mouth, but he didn't expect the corners of his mouth to drop slowly, and then fell into a straight line.

Shan Xuechen's face was terrible and ugly.

Ju Mingzhi guessed something, but he didn't want to go straight to that matter, so he snapped his fingers, and the waiter came over.

Ju Mingzhi scolded the waiter in the shop: "What kind of wine does your family sell? One glass of wine, half a glass of water, sir, I am a connoisseur, go and serve your undiluted wine!"

The waiter smiled and apologized, and after a while brought out a small jar of sorghum puree, which Ju Mingzhi filled for him and Shan Xuechen.

"If you want to drink, drink real wine."

Ju Mingzhi stuffed the wine glass into Shan Xuechen's hand, filled it up, clinked the glass, drank it all in one gulp, the spicy liquid roared in his throat, and after a while his whole body became warm and happy!

Shan Xuechen also raised his neck and did it.

Ju Mingzhi didn't talk nonsense, filled the glasses for the two of them again, and when they clinked their glasses, the two of them raised their necks, and the glasses bottomed out again.

Come again.

……

A small altar of Nurhong came to an end like this, Shan Xuechen had never drank so much alcohol, the alcohol was rolling in his stomach, like a grandson monkey, uncomfortable tight, but extremely relaxed.

Ju Mingzhi laughed heartily, "Do you want to drink more?"

Shan Xuechen shook his head, rubbed his stomach with his hands, and began to laugh wantonly, then laughed, and then burst into tears.

Ju Mingzhi looked at him thoughtfully, "Wine is a good thing, I bet you haven't tasted such a good thing before."

Shan Xuechen supported his head on his arms, shook his head, and the world began to become blurred.

Ju Mingzhi said: "Do you still remember the question you asked me before? Why did that snake demon go to great lengths to be with that scholar even if his soul was lost?" Ju Mingzhi picked up a brine peanut with his chopsticks and threw it into the mouth, "Because she is stupid."

At this moment, the shop waiter came back again, still holding a jug of wine in his hand, "My lords, this jar is a gift from our shop. This year, the prince will get married and will be exempted from taxes for a year. This jar of wine is for the connoisseurs." , hope to patronize more in the future.”

Ju Mingzhi accepted the jar of wine with a smile, "This kind of wine is called Nv'erhong, which is ordinary sorghum wine. The authentic Nv'erhong is brewed by a family after the birth of a daughter. When the daughter is married, the wine will be drunk. It's alright too."

Alcohol has already made Xiaobai's whole body weak, and Ju Mingzhi's words can't be heard.

Ju Mingzhi sighed, Xiaobai was so unhappy, he was so sad that he almost became a wasteland, he came here today to find his own boredom, but he didn't expect a lot of blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah to become the protagonist.He guessed those things a few days ago when the whole city started to become popular. The whole city is intensively preparing for the wedding of King Jinyang these days, and it will be the wedding day of King Jinyang in a few days.

Ju Mingzhi poured himself a glass of wine, he couldn't get used to He Min for this matter.

But He Min had no choice. According to a minister with normal thinking, he would do this.

The red color in Jinyang City is getting better day by day.

Ju Mingzhi didn't even know how to comfort Shan Xuechen, he could only drink it cup by cup like this, until now he was drinking cup by cup, the words were all suppressed by the liquid when they reached his mouth.My friend was hurt, but I was more uncomfortable than my friend.

"I know...I know everything..." Shan Xuechen muttered.

He saw those hidden guards in a blur of consciousness, the adults who looked tense these days, and the increasingly festive Jinyang Palace, how could he not know!Even the students were elated, because King Jinyang could take three days off for his wedding. It seemed that everyone was hiding the news from him, but how could he not know?

He's stupid, but it's not that he doesn't know these things.

But what's the use of knowing?

Shan Xuechen grabbed Ju Mingzhi's sleeve at once, "I know he's getting married, I'm very happy."

Ji Xiu has never belonged to him alone.

Jinyang, and even the tens of thousands of people in the world, all need a wise king to open up a prosperous world.

right!I should help him!

Ju Mingzhi didn't know what to say, so Shan Xuechen continued: "This is a good thing, why are you keeping it from me? I'm very happy, really... because it's good for Ji Xiu , everyone in the mansion tried to hide it from me, how could it be possible to hide it? Those capable Hanzhong workers almost refurbished the entire palace, so beautiful, so that the princess of Hanzhong can live in it..."

"You are not generous enough."

Tangerine Mingzhi didn't know where to put his face.

"Do you think it's a joke that I'm alive?" Shan Xuechen suddenly laughed, his face turned red from the alcohol, "I tried my best, but I found that I was still back to the original point," Shan Xuechen was out of breath with a smile, "I know I'm stupid, I was set up by Erniang, I can't listen to good advice, I came to Jinyang by accident... My students all told me In the future, there will be an extremely grand royal wedding in Jinyang, how could I be a fool again?"

Shan Xuechen finally burst into tears with laughter, "How could I not feel bad? Who the hell would want to see the person he loves marry someone else!" Then, all the words became choked up, "I know, I'm just a Mr. Teacher, I can’t help Ji Xiu with anything... So I’m still very happy, because this is good for Ji Xiu..."

Complaints are the greatest offering from heaven to human beings, and they are also the most sincere part of human prayers.

Ju Mingzhi listened to Shan Xuechen's complaints, his cursing, his unwillingness, the evil and truth of human nature burst out in this second.

Powerless.

Until Shan Xuechen vented verbally until he fell asleep, Ju Mingzhi called Xiaoer to come over to pay the bill, clinker, Xiaoer didn't come, but two people came.

Zenmi looked at Tachibana Mingji: "Long time no see."

Tangerine Mingzhi looked at Zenmi, and thought about it, "Isn't this Mr. Ji Xiuji? What brought you here?" Tangerine Mingzhi looked at Hailan next to him, "Uncle's hairline looks like Higher."

Shanya and Tachibana Mingji knew each other, maybe because of their sympathy. In the past, Shanya often went to visit the proton who came from far away in Consort Lane.Hailan and him also know each other, Hailan is not from the Central Plains, her eyes are gray, the two of them disappeared during the canonization ceremony of King Jin two years ago, Ju Mingzhi naturally doesn't know where they went.

"The mouth of the Ju family is still so unforgiving," Zenmi said, "No, it should be called the Ju family's head now."

Ju Mingzhi looked at Shan Mi with a serious face, "Young Master Ji is fine, your elder nephew will get married in a few days, presumably he is here to attend the wedding."

Shan Mi sighed: "Maybe, but I came here to pick up this nephew today." Shan Mi's eyes stopped on Shan Xuechen, and he frowned, "How much wine did Xiaobai drink today? So drunk?"

Tangerine Mingzhi shook his head, not wanting to talk.

"I've left it to you, and I have to go home," Ju Mingzhi shrugged, the alcohol still had an effect, his head swelled slightly, "Take care of your nephew."

With one step and three shakes, Tachibana Mingzhi left the small restaurant.

He can't control these things anymore, Xiaobai is so sad, but he can't do anything.

Powerless.

Jinyang Palace

Ji Xiu seemed to have regained that cold-faced and cold-hearted Lord Hades overnight, with serious eyes and dull eyes who didn't know who he was plotting against.

Wang Jian handed him a letter, "Your brother gave it to you."

Ji Xiu took the letter.

Hello Jun!

It's been so warm and cold these days, I hope you take care of your health. I'll serve you well, and since you've returned to Jinyang, I miss you very much. After this incident, once I understand it, I also know you. In a few days, you will be here. Marriage is coming soon, this is the envoy of the next bowl, and he must do it with Xiaoliu'er. This minister is not as lost as before. I am happy. The first ceremony with my younger brother is still exciting. Please don't offend me.

Brother Yu: Guanghua

Guanghua is Qi Yuanhui's word, and Ji Xiu still remembers this. Ji Xiu threw the letter aside, without any fluctuation on his face.

"Don't you even know how to say thank you?" Wang Jian couldn't help but asked.

Ji Xiu looked at him blankly, "I didn't ask you to bring it to me."

These days, Ji Xiu is in a bad mood, and Xiao Bai is also in a bad mood. It seems that after knowing this, everyone starts to have something on their minds. Day by day, Jinyang is extremely calm, but he is depressed day by day .

Wang Jian Gao Bing and his ilk are naturally even more depressed.

"There's some—" to the south

"I see, Su Hong came back a few days ago, and I have already entrusted him with this matter." Ji Xiu interrupted Wang Jian without raising his head, "Xiaobai is going to finish class, I have to pick him up go."

Wang Jian frowned.

"There are some things that you and I can't control," Gao Bing's tooth was about to have a big hole picked out, and after listening to Wang Jian's words, Gao Bing put down the toothpick in his hand, "This is the end of the matter, let nature take its course," The temperature is getting worse day by day, and there are already noisy cicadas outside the window.

The liberal arts school has more than doubled in size. The houses around the original classrooms have been transformed into classrooms, and all the walls have been opened up. Because of the fame of Mr. Liuchu, a large number of students have come in. There are students, and the teacher is Mr. It turned out to be a problem. The purpose of the liberal arts school is to open the door to education. Everyone has the right to receive education. The education received is not just the orthodox Confucian education. In this school, you can choose any knowledge you like to learn.

But the effect was minimal. Those craftsmen didn't take it seriously for breaking the traditional apprenticeship teaching method. Since ancient times, reading is to test fame, and the humble work should naturally be done by the poor.

Yang Yannian was very worried about this matter. He was a teacher of agriculture class, but almost no students came here willing to take classes. The scholars who came here basically just wanted to make friends with Mr. Liu Chu.

Every day after class, Mr. Shan has a large wave of blue shirts forming a circle, and what he talks about is nothing more than stereotyped articles like "Zhe Ye". Mr. Shan is very good-tempered and doesn't make people angry. Buzzing and buzzing, annoying.

Mr. Shan has a good temper, but Prince Jinyang has a bad temper.

Ji Yanwang appeared among the group of scholars with a dark face, blocked the papers handed over by the scholars with one hand, took Shan Xuechen's hand with the other, and forcibly pulled him away from the Boya School.

"Wait a minute, come first, come first, Mr. Shan hasn't finished answering my question yet," a bookworm asked.

Ji Yanwang turned to look at the student, "Do you have an opinion?"

The nerd wanted to say something more but was stopped by the person next to him, and then some gossip was whispered from the crowd:

"That is Lord Jinyang..."

"He and Mr. Shan are a couple, don't you see that they come to pick them up every day after class..."

"Wow, what about Mr. Shan..."

……

At this time, Shan Xuechen and Ji Xiu were already far away from the liberal arts school.

Both of them had something on their minds, and they were speechless all the way.

Quietly scary.

Looking ahead is Jinyang Prince's Mansion, and walking forward from Jinyang Prince's Mansion is the lively Suzaku Street.

Ji Xiu suddenly found that his arm was being pulled by Shan Xuechen. Such a small action exposed Shan Xuechen's inner wasteland.

"are you OK."

Shan Xuechen nodded, his face was empty, without a trace of color.

He really wanted to ask too many questions, and before he even opened his mouth, those words entered his stomach like boiling water.

Ji Xiu sighed in his heart, he really deserved it.

Shan Xuechen is really important to him.

The red has spread from the building to the air, and the sweet smell of spices is in the air. Today is the tenth day since returning to Jinyang, and five days later it will be the day when the new princess will visit. Shan Xuechen's heart has already collapsed. Looking up, but still raised his face, looked at Ji Xiu with a smile: "Congratulations."

Looking at Ji Xiu with a gloomy face, Shan Xuechen smiled again, "You should have stabbed me to death with a sword," after speaking, the air froze all of a sudden, and all the voices in his ears quickly ran back , Amidst the vicissitudes of life, a tear overflowed from Shan Xuechen's eyes unexpectedly.

Some things are really out of your control.

For example, I make mistakes again and again.

Ji Xiu's heart was twisted like a knife... Now is not the time, seeing Shan Xuechen suffering internal injuries, Ji Xiu really wanted to slap himself, he was so worried about gains and losses, as if the whole world was leaving him.

Shan Xuechen's eyes were shining brightly, Shan Xuechen bit his lower lip desperately, his face became pale, Ji Xiu was obviously so close to him, but he felt so far away, untouchable.

A person's life, most of the time, is in the process of struggling alone with the help of a little bit of light from outside.

The answer is really too simple. Shan Xuechen is Ji Xiu's light, and Ji Xiu is also Shan Xuechen's light. If this light disappears, life will be meaningless.

Sansheng is lucky to meet you, Ji Xiu.
