"Seventh Senior Brother" Jing Chen supported the girl who was rushing to his chest, took a step back to steady his body, looked down, and suddenly said in surprise: "Shui, Shui Yun?" The girl in his arms raised her head, with a fair face. Her face was full of joy, her moist eyes were slightly red, and her soft voice called out with a little grievance: "Brother, I miss you so much." Yu Shu stood beside the two of them, looking away from the unknown girl. The arm around Jing Chen's waist moved up to Jing Chen's protective hand on her shoulder, and then when the two looked at each other, they raised their eyebrows slightly, guessing the girl's identity, so she He coughed, cleared his throat, and without hesitation broke the atmosphere of reunion after a long separation: "Jing Chen, who is this girl?" Upon hearing the sound, the girl seemed to realize that there was someone else in the room. He quickly let go of Jing Chen, pushed his chest and took a step back, lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. "This is my junior sister Shui Yun," Jing Chen replied to Yu Shu, then turned to look at the girl in front of him, frowned slightly, and asked her: "Why did you come down the mountain? Do your uncle and master know?" Shui Yun hurriedly He nodded and said: "I know, it was my father who allowed me to come down the mountain to find you. If you don't believe me, ask me." Jingchen looked at Liu Tan at the table. Liu Tan testified: "It was indeed Master Huaixun who asked me to take my little sister down the mountain." " Jing Chen asked doubtfully: "Then why have I lived in the palace these days and never heard you mention it?" Liu Tan looked at Shui Yun who was winking at him and said with a wry smile: "It's the young master who doesn't allow me to talk about it. " "Chongyun" Shui Yun scolded him. Seeing Jing Chen's confused gaze, he lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "Senior brother, it's not easy for you to see your relatives. I think you must have a lot to ask the emperor and talk to him. The emperor said, I don't want you to be distracted, so I asked Chongyun to hide it from you first - " At this point, she raised her head and looked at him who was intact and couldn't help but blush again: "I heard Chongyun said that you were here I met a bad guy on the road, was seriously injured and lost my memory. Fortunately, you are safe now. " Jing Chen's expression softened, he raised his hand and gently placed it on top of her head, saying warmly: "I've made you worry again. " Shui Yun bit her lip and slowly raised her hand, grabbed his sleeve corner, and held it tightly. Yu Shu quietly watched the interaction between the two senior brothers and sisters as if no one was around, her eyes flashed, and she didn't disturb him again this time. Instead, he turned around and walked to the table, bowed to Liu Tan and greeted: "It would be rude to meet His Majesty the Ninth Prince. Liu Tan waved his hand and said, "Nothing, Miss Lianfang, please sit down." " "Thank you, Your Highness. " As soon as Yu Shu sat down, a cup of tea was handed to her hand. The clear shadow of the tea was accompanied by the smoke of hookah. " The newly picked flower tea this month is sweet and not bitter. She glanced sideways at Xue Rui, picked up the cup of tea and smelled it. Sure enough, it had a light fragrance and was not the kind of bitter tea she was not used to. "Thank you." She took a sip and it tasted good. Xue Rui looked at Jing Chen and Shui Yun who were standing by the screen talking in a low voice, then turned his gaze back to Yu Shu and said: "It seems that the emperor's decree has arrived. How about it? Are you satisfied with the reward?" Yu Shu smiled and said : "I can't hide anything from you." Thinking of the box of gold ingots, she felt good for no reason. Liu Tan, who was sitting next to him, said: "Of course I can't hide it from him. This is a sign -" Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused. Yu Shu curiously asked: "What is it?" Someone stepped on his foot under the table, and Liu Tan had to change the words and continue: "You deserve this." Before Yu Shu could think about the inconsistency between his preface and last words, Xue Rui asked her again: "Have you eaten yet? I ordered wine and food, do you want some more?" Yu Shu nodded. He was just reading Xia Mingming's letter in her room and didn't take a few bites of food. She couldn't help but turn her head and glance in Jing Chen's direction again, thought for a while, and asked Liu Tan: "May I ask, Your Highness, do you have female disciples in your Taoist sect?" She always thought that Taoist priests were all men, but Jing Chen clearly said that Shuiyun was his junior sister, obviously from the same sect, which was strange. Hearing this vernacular, both Xue Rui and Liu Tan laughed, and the latter explained to her: "Of course, Taoism and Buddhism are different. Both men and women can practice, and both can follow the path. Taoists pay attention to letting nature take its course. Nothing can be forced, so many Taoist sects allow their disciples to get married and have children, unlike those in Buddhism who insist on purifying the six roots and cutting off the world of mortals. " "That's it, accept the teaching." Yu Shu handed over to Liu Tan. At this time, the pair of senior brothers and sisters also finished speaking. When Yu Shu looked up, he saw Shui Yun walking over, stopped in front of her, lowered his head and joined his hands, gave her a salute, and said gratefully: "Miss Yu, thank you very much. You rescued my seventh senior brother and protected him all the way. Shuiyun is very grateful and will definitely repay your kindness in the future." Yu Shu looked at her and then at Jing Chen who was standing behind her, seeing that he was listening. After saying these words of thanks, his expression remained as usual.With a faint smile, he stood up, raised his hand to help the little junior sister, and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, Jing Chen also saved my life. If you want to repay me, he has already repaid me." Shui Yun straightened up and looked at Yu Shu. , a smile suddenly appeared on Tian Jing's face, "Senior brother is right, you are indeed a good person." How does he look like a good person? Is it written on his forehead, or is it written on his face? "Okay, if you have anything to say, sit down and talk about it. We just met here today and we have nothing else to do, so we can chat slowly and don't be in a hurry." Xue Rui raised his hand to signal them all to sit down and talk. Shuiyun sat down next to Yu Shu, patted her other side, motioned for Jingchen to sit down, stretched out his hand to take the teapot and cup, poured him water, then looked at him drinking tea with a smile, waiting for him to finish. Then he spoke to him: "Senior brother, have you eaten?" "Yes." "Isn't the food here better than the food on the mountain?" "Yeah." "It's as delicious as the food I made. "Haha, senior brother, you are still the same as before, pretending to be mute when you can't answer something." Yu Shu sat next to them, listening to their questions and answers, and suddenly felt a little unhappy. It felt like she was wasting her time. Lao Zijin solved a difficult problem. She was very happy for a long time before realizing that it turned out that someone had solved this problem a long time ago. She was neither the first person to discover this problem nor the first person to try to solve it. Someone who understands it. She shook her head to get rid of this ridiculous idea, raised her cup to drink tea, but found that the cup was empty. Just as she was going to get the teapot, she heard someone beside her whisper: "If you want to eat later, don't drink too much." Drink more tea, or you will have a stomachache during dinner. "Although Xue Rui was talking to Liu Tan, he didn't forget to pay attention to Yu Shu's movements. When he saw that she was still pouring out three or four glasses of water, he stopped her. "Oh." Yu Shu retracted his hand and turned sideways to listen to what Xue Rui and Liu Tan were talking about. With such a distraction, he no longer cared about what the brothers and sisters were talking about. "The Shuangyang Festival of 2020 will definitely be very lively. Not only the Xia Jiang family in the south are in the capital, I just heard the day before yesterday that the sixth son of the Wenchen family also participated in the Dayan exam this year. I wonder if they will be there by then. "Don't worry, cousin. With the Xin family's Yiguan and my little sister-in-law here, I won't make a fool of myself even if I don't compete for the win in this Shuangyang meeting." Yu Shu heard what they said. When the "Shuangyang Club" was mentioned for the first time, he curiously interjected: "Brother, what is the Shuangyang Club?" Starting from the Dragon Festival on the second day of the lunar month, there is a grand meeting in Anling City, which lasts for seventy-seven forty-nine days. It is organized by the imperial court and attended by all the major trade halls in the capital. Various traders gather here to compete and compete with each other to see who can win. If you win the first place, you will get a golden plaque from the imperial palace, which is called "The No. 1 Pavilion in the World." It is called "Shuangyang Club." Go?" Liu Tan smiled slightly but didn't answer her. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the food and drinks were brought. The topic stopped there. Yu Shu could see that he didn't want to tell her more, so he knew enough not to ask any more questions, but After a moment of silence, she heard voices on the other side again. "Brother, try this. The one I had here last time was not greasy at all." "There is also this, it should suit your taste." "Brother, let me help you with the soup." Jing Chen looked in front of him The plate and bowl were piled up on the hill, and the chopsticks were suspended in mid-air. He didn't know where to start. He had had lunch with Yu Shu before and was already full. In fact, he had no appetite now. He didn't want to force himself to eat, but he also didn't want to betray her kindness. . Yu Shu caught a glimpse of Jing Chen's troubled look and chuckled to himself. With a roll of his eyes, he stretched out his hand and picked up a big, fat chicken leg. He placed it firmly on Jing Chen's bowl across the water, and placed it on his When she looked over, she smiled sweetly at him: "Here, don't you like chicken legs the most? Eat more." Hearing this, Shuiyun was very puzzled: "Brother, when did you like chicken legs?" She said. If I remember correctly, her seventh senior brother rarely eats much meat throughout the year, let alone chicken legs. Jing Chen looked at the chicken legs piled on the bowl, and he thought of something, and there was a smile in his eyes, and he moved his chopsticks. , picked it up, said "hmm" and put it into his mouth. Yu Shu lowered his head and smiled, and the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared. Little did he know that every move she made was in the eyes of another man, and he couldn't help but mind it. Xue Rui shook the wine glass in his hand, with a figure reflected in his eyes. He felt that the smooth and fragrant Jinquan wine was a little astringent today. After drinking one glass, there was a bitter taste in his mouth. However, he preferred this taste, so he had to drink another glass. When I got a little drunk, I suddenly thought of a sentence to describe myself, which was nothing more than asking for trouble. This meal lasted until the afternoon. Jing Chen was going back to the palace, and Liu TangangIn order to go with him, Shui Yun stayed in Liu Tan's villa temporarily. They wanted to send her back first. Yu Shu didn't want to join in the fun, so he didn't go with them. Instead, he and Xue Rui sent the three of them back. To the back door. Watching the two carriages leaving one after another, Yu Shu turned around and said to Xue Rui: "Brother, I'm going upstairs to check the accounts for the past few days. What about you? Do you want to go elsewhere?" Xue Rui stroked his forehead lazily with one hand. Shaking his head: "I'll go back to the room and take a nap. After you check the account, come and call me." Yu Shu saw that he was indeed drunk and thought he must be tired from working on the case for the past few days, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Then go quickly. Just rest, I'll ask the kitchen to cook you some hangover soup and deliver it to you later." "Yes." To be continued.

Your support is my biggest motivation. ¡ª¡ªI'm sorry to tell you that as I continue to update tonight, Guozi's cold has become more and more serious. It took me 6 hours to write this chapter. Tears. I heard that a sudden worsening of a cold is a sign that it is getting better. I hope my nose will be fine when I wake up tomorrow morning. Ventilate. .
