The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 723: Strategy for the Blind Villain (19) Shi
Yi, who was preparing for her wedding, was not allowed to go out. But today was the funeral of her good friend Bai Yuer. She disguised herself, threw away her maids and secretly went to the Marquis's mansion.
Marquis Bai, dressed in white, glanced at her with indifference and recognized her, but did not stop her from burning incense for his daughter.
He had experienced many ups and downs in his life, but he had never thought that there would be such a thing as an old man sending off a young man. He was sad and thought that his daughter's friend would be the same.
After Shi Yi finished burning incense, the crowd became noisy. She turned around and saw that Ji Jingrong had actually come here.
"Sister, go home." The young man walked past the crowd and walked straight to Shi Yi, holding her hand openly.
Marquis Bai glanced at the noisy crowd around him, and everyone quickly shut their mouths. An ignorant child screamed, and the adults immediately covered his mouth.
It was rumored that Ji Jingrong was a blind man, but what they saw today was no different from an ordinary person. Was the rumor false? Or is it that Ji Jingrong, who is so terrifying, has learned to live like a normal person.
"Okay." Shi Yi bowed respectfully to Lord Bai, and left this place hand in hand with the young man.
From beginning to end, Lord Bai never looked at the young man.
"Why are you here?" Shi Yi asked him on the way.
"We are in sync." The young man held her hand tightly.
He was filled with endless fear in his heart. He was afraid that she would know that he was responsible for her friend's death.
He just wanted his sister to pay more attention to him. He just wanted his sister to have only him in her eyes.
Bai Yuer came to disturb his sister from time to time, occupying his and his sister's alone time, and he was dissatisfied for a long time. While Bai Yuer was ill, he sent his men to secretly add a medicinal ingredient to her prescription. It is harmless to eat more, but if this medicine is taken with the health-preserving red dates, it will produce toxins. Bai Yuer was poisoned to death silently in this way.
"We will be married next month. After we go back, everyone should be obedient and not see each other." Shi Yi stopped and said solemnly, "Otherwise it will be unlucky."
"Okay." The boy agreed readily.
He was so well-behaved that Shi Yi's face was filled with joy and his steps became cheerful.
The boy followed her every step closely with a lively and boundless smile on his face.
In another month, he can live with his sister again. His life will become extremely interesting.
————————
At the end of the month, Ji Yun secretly met with Master Qu again. The two discussed for a long time in the study and parted at cockcrow.
After the accident of Crown Prince Ji Yucheng, the emperor wanted to train his other princes, but they were all useless. None of the tasks assigned to them were to his liking. Gradually, he paid attention to Ji Jingrong.
Ji Jingrong continued the blind book engraving that the former Crown Prince Ji Yucheng had continued to promote, and the response was enthusiastic. In order to make the blind read books, he personally trained several groups of teachers who could read and write, and selected private schools for pilot projects, which had very good results.
In the past, it was simply a fantasy for the blind to be able to "read books". But now, there are teachers who specialize in teaching the blind to read, and there are places and books specially provided for the blind to read. Many blind people are scrambling for places to study in private schools. The name "Ji Jingrong" has also been publicized and known to everyone.
————————
The wedding day is coming.
Ji Jingrong rode a tall horse and led the wedding team to the Qu Taifu Mansion to marry the bride. The emperor granted the marriage, which was such an honor. The streets and alleys were crowded with people to see the bride and groom.
Shi Yi, who was dressed up, was covered with a red veil by the matchmaker and walked step by step in front of everyone.
"The bride is here, the bride is here." The guests shouted in surprise.
Ji Jingrong followed the sound and walked to the bride's position, and said softly, "Is it my sister?"
"It's me." Shi Yi held out her fair hands for him to hold. She looked at her feet intently, and he held her hand and left the home where she had lived for sixteen years.
Master Qu tried his best to hide his anger, but his eyes still turned red. Although he was not happy with his daughter marrying Ji Jingrong, the matter was done and there was no way to change it. Ji Yun, who was hidden in the crowd of guests, had already soaked the silk handkerchief in her hand. She was really happy that her son could marry such a close friend.
After entering the palace, Shi Yi was led to the bed by the young man. His emotions were barely stable, but when he saw the long list of dowry drawn up by his father, his emotions collapsed again.
Parents love their children, so they plan for them in the long run. This long list of dowry probably brought most of the things in Master Qu's mansion.
"Sister, don't cry. I will treat you well. I will treat you well for the rest of my life." The bright red wedding dress made the boy's complexion even whiter, and there was already a sense of power between his eyebrows. "The man on
the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world" should be like this. "Will you lie to me?" Shi Yi held his hand tightly, which was her only support in this harem. If he and she were not of the same mind... that day would be really unimaginable.
"Sister, Ji Jingrong will never lie to you in his life." The boy lifted her veil as if it were a treasure. His slender hand rested on the side of her face, and the calluses left by his fingertips from long-term "reading" gently rubbed her delicate skin.
Not long ago, he only dared to touch the girl's cheek secretly, but now she is his wife, and he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
"Can you promise me one thing?" His hand was suddenly held down by the girl. If he remembered correctly, this was the position of her eyebrows. He paused and said, "Okay".
"Can we do it after I'm ready?" The girl's voice was a little nervous.
"What else? Sister." He called her "sister" in a lingering way, and the woman's cheeks turned red under the candlelight.
"You are still a child. You don't understand anything. I think too much."
"Yeah." The boy laughed in his heart. His sister was still innocent and cute.
But how could he let go of the fat meat at his mouth.
He sat beside her, put one hand on her shoulder, and his warm breath blew into her ear. He whispered like a spoiled child, "Sister, Jingrong is sleepy."
"I'll get you some water." Shi Yi wanted to move but he held her hand.
"No washing today."
"Don't you want to wash up?"
As she spoke, she was pulled between the beds by the young man.
There were a lot of dried fruits on the bed, which made her feel sore all over. She cried out a few times.
The nanny who was about to enter the door to teach etiquette withdrew her hand with a red face.
She thought that the prince was blind and would not understand that, so he was sent by the higher-ups to teach. Hearing the voice of the prince's wife, the two seemed to be having fun.
"Sister, come closer." The frank young man found her hand, put her white palm on the beating position of his chest, and said sincerely, which made people cry, "Sister, Jingrong is yours. It belongs to you alone."
