At the moment when Shen Shixu was crowned as the top scholar, the golden finger that was late for eighteen years finally arrived. In his previous life, he passed away to save a child who fell into ...
Chapter 87 Stay Away
With the help of Old Man Zhang, Shen Shixu and his friends had enough food to eat along the way. Xiao Jinyi and Song Zhuoyang went hunting for game respectively, and prepared the game for Old Man Zhang after bringing it back.
Uncle Zhang started cooking, such as pheasant stewed with mushrooms, roasted rabbit, fish soup...
The food was better than what he had eaten in the capital, which made Shen Zexi, who was waiting at the city gate, want to say to Shen Shixu that he had lost weight due to hard work, but he couldn't say it.
When Shen Shixu saw that Shen Zexi was waiting for them here, he rushed up and hugged him tightly, "Brother, didn't I say it in the letter? I told you not to come to pick me up, so why did you come?"
Shen Shixu said in the letter that he was not allowed to let Shen Zexi pick him up, but he was still very happy when Shen Zexi came to pick him up.
Shen Zexi had been his brother for so many years, but he still didn't understand his younger brother. Seeing how happy he was, he pinched his face and said, "I thought you would be tired and thin after running around, but who knew you looked fatter."
When Shen Shixu heard him say this, he held his chin in surprise and said, "Are you really fat? I also feel that I have gained a lot of weight along the way. There is nothing to worry about. I have been eating and sleeping all the way.
If we don't gain weight, we will be ungrateful for the hard work that Mr. Zhang puts into feeding us. ”
Not to mention that Chen Shixu gained weight, Xiao Jinyi and the others also gained some weight. However, Xiao Jinyi practices martial arts every day, so he should be the one who has changed the least.
When Shen Zexi heard him mention someone he didn't know, he leaned over to look behind him and saw three strangers.
One was a young man whom he had never seen before, and the other was an old man, who should be the old man Zhang mentioned by Shen Shixu. He was holding a sickly baby in his arms.
Shen Zexi looked at Uncle Zhang, smiled and walked over to thank him, "You must be Uncle Zhang. I heard from my brother that it was all thanks to you that you took care of me along the way. You allowed my brother and the other kids to eat so well. Thank you so much."
Shen Shixu was a little unhappy when he heard Shen Zexi's adjective. He poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue and said to Xiao Jinyi, "Why is my brother's description so strange? Smooth and slippery, it doesn't sound like a description of a person."
After Shen Shixu said this to Xiao Jinyi, he was stunned for a moment and silently moved away from him.
Xiao Jinyi narrowed his eyes as he watched his movements, and then said, "Brother Shen's words sound as if he compared us to pigs waiting to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year. We are fat and smooth, just waiting to be slaughtered and eaten during the Chinese New Year."
Shen Shixu was very unhappy with Shen Zexi's analogy. After all, he was a handsome man. Wasn't it too much to compare him to a pig?
Shen Zexi chatted with Mr. Zhang for a while, then went to Jiang Miaokong and asked who the young man next to him was. When he found out that he was Song Zhuoyang, whom Jiang Miaokong was worried about, he patted Song Zhuoyang on the shoulder and said unceremoniously.
"You better be nice to Miaokong in the future. He came to our house to steal things in order to save you, and was almost killed by Jinyi."
Shen Zexi's words were exaggerated, but it was true that Jiang Miaokong stole things in the Shen Mansion for Song Zhuoyang.
Song Zhuoyang didn't expect this to happen. He looked at Jiang Miaokong with an expression of emotion and joy. He held Jiang Miaokong's hand tightly, with only one thought in his mind, that he would be good to Jiang Miaokong and never let go of his hand for the rest of his life.
Jiang Miaokong felt a little at a loss as to what to do when he looked at her. She turned her head to look at the scenery on both sides of the city gate, but her ears, exposed to Song Zhuoyang's eyes, turned red.
Shen Shixu felt somewhat envious of the atmosphere between the two of them. Gender aside, the relationship between the two of them was something that many couples could not achieve. Jiang Miaokong was hard on the outside but soft on the inside, saying that he didn't like Song Zhuoyang, but he was still willing to fight for him.
As for Song Zhuoyang, his eyes never left Jiang Miaokong along the way, and he followed Jiang Miaokong wherever he went.
He was very considerate and caring. When Jiang Miaokong wanted to drink water, he didn't need to pour it for him. The water was delivered to his mouth. He also went to the woods from time to time to find some wild fruits for Jiang Miaokong to change his taste.
As a calligraphy and painting master, he also benefited from his apprentice's help and had wild fruits to eat.
Of course, the bulk of the money was given by Xiao Jinyi. Xiao Jinyi would always send him a bunch of fruits, and they were his only ones, not even his cousin Jiang Bin.
When Xiao Jinyi did this for the first time, Jiang Bin called him his cousin, but was beaten by Xiao Jinyi. After saying something else, Jiang Bin quickly became obedient, but he looked at Shen Shixu with excitement in his eyes.
Shen Shixu was horrified by his look, and at the same time, he confirmed in his heart the guess that he had always been unwilling to believe.
Shen Shixu has never been a fool, nor a blind man. What Xiao Jinyi did was so obvious and he still couldn't see anything. He, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, could be replaced.
Who is Xiao Jinyi? The famous god of war, the only prince of Dagan who was conferred the title of prince, with millions of strong troops under his command. To be honest, there are not many people in Dagan who can give him face.
Not to mention that like now, he sticks to Shen Shixu like a bean cake and takes care of him everywhere. There is no need for him to get involved in Qucheng's affairs, but he follows him there anyway.
Not only that, he also considered everything carefully. He prepared the carriage, as well as the food and drinks. He was worried that the officials of Qucheng would not cooperate, so he specially sought information from Xiao Yuanqi.
He did whatever Shen Shixu told him to do and attacked wherever he was told, as if Xiao Jinyi was not a prince but a guard that Shen Shixu could use at will.
Not only that, he was always friendly to Shen Shixu, and Shen Shixu had never seen Xiao Jinyi change his face in front of him.
Even his cousin Jiang Bin and his elder brother the Crown Prince rarely got a good look from him, the best he got was a stern face.
But in front of Shen Shixu, Xiao Jinyi didn't smile, but he showed an indescribable gentleness.
If you want to make friends, which family gets along like this?
What confirmed Shen Shixu's guess was that after Jiang Bin gave him that strange look, when he closed his eyes for a nap, Xiao Jinyi kissed him. Of course, he only kissed his face, but that was enough to explain the problem.
Shen Shixu didn't open his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep, wanting to see what he would do next, but Xiao Jinyi just kissed him and then got out of the carriage.
After he left, Shen Shixu turned over and sat up, touching the place where he was kissed, lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, and decided to stay away from Xiao Jinyi.
I clearly thought so, but when I encountered something I wanted to complain about, I still subconsciously moved closer to him and talked to him. After I said it, I realized that I clearly wanted to stay away from him, so I hid aside again.
How could Xiao Jinyi not see that he wanted to stay away from her these two days? He even knew that Shen Shixu was awake when he made the move of stealing a kiss that day, but he still did it.
