Chapter 288 Water Stool

Wen Zhiheng stared at the eighteen seeds of soil in the basin and was stunned for a long time.

The flowers look a little wilful, as if they have been transported across thousands of mountains and rivers.

Qingsong asked in confusion.

"Master, who sent this? Fortunately it's a pot of flowers, otherwise it wouldn't be allowed into Lingyun Pavilion."

Wen Zhiheng smiled.

"This pot of flowers is the first gift she gave me."

Qingsong pondered for a while and was shocked.

"Didn't she die of illness?"

Wen Zhiheng did not answer, but just looked at the pot of flowers carefully.

"Qingsong, is this flower pretty?"

"It looks good, but it needs to be taken care of."

Wen Zhiheng nodded.

"I will cherish this time of watering, pruning, keeping away the cold, and enjoying the sunshine. I will enjoy the sweet dew from heaven and earth, and the breeze. Only then will the flowers be more spiritual and bloom more beautifully, right?"

"Exactly."

"What do you think about me going to Qingzhou to see Wen Zhirou?"

Qingsong smiled knowingly.

"That's right. The young lady is weak and will definitely not be able to take good care of herself. Master, you should also remind her."

"They have a very good relationship. What if they become annoying?"

Qingsong just lowered his head and said something.

"Last autumn, your Majesty's first wife passed away. I was just going to see the young lady. How could I be annoying?"

Wen Zhiheng murmured in a low voice.

"Really?"

During this period, Chen Shiyi followed Doctor Chu and carried the suitcases, and gradually became very familiar with Ping'er.

Ping'er also likes to play with Chen Shiyi and sometimes even admires her.

Because her archery skills are superb.

He shot wherever he pointed and never missed.

But most of the time, Chen Shiyi followed Situ Yu.

It was not because of the matter of the headmaster, but because she discovered that Situ Yu actually had a water stool and a jade carving knife in his home.

These are all tools for carving jade.

I didn't expect Situ Yu had this skill.

Sometimes, when he got a piece of good seed material, he could sit on the water bench for three days and three nights without getting down.

Chen Shiyi thought this was quite interesting. Jing Ran found her a piece of jade with excellent water content. She followed Situ Yu and learned how to use a water stool to polish a hairpin.

She wanted to give it to Pei Luoshu as a birthday gift.

Situ Yu originally disliked Chen Shiyi because she always bothered him.

But as time went by, they got along pretty well. Most importantly, he was generous and willing to spend money, especially towards Ping'er. He would search for fun things for her again and again, as if he had long forgotten the tension when he first met Ping'er.

Situ Yu sometimes thought that such a handsome young man, who blocked his way every day, must have not yet married or found a girl he liked. Otherwise, why would he waste his best years on someone like him?

Jade is transparent and needs to be cut and polished carefully to become shiny and smooth.

Chen Shiyi was sitting on a water bench, dancing on the pedals and spinning the jade stone. After dipping the jade sand in water, he became more and more skilled and smooth.

She was not very skilled in using the jade carving knife, and when she was carving the patterns on the jade hairpin, she accidentally got several cuts on her hands.

"This is how jade carving works. If you don't have any injuries on your hands, you'd be embarrassed to say you have this skill."

Every time I went back, I would be scolded by Wen Zhirou, and then she would get ointment from Doctor Chu and apply it on me.

Today seems a little different.

She returned to the house and found that Jingran and Fuda were not there, and she didn't know where they had gone.

Only when I walked into the backyard did I hear the sound of several people talking.

She pushed the door open and found everyone there, and...

Wen Zhiheng and Qingsong are here.

She didn't know what to say for a moment and just tried to laugh.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing that Wen Zhiheng didn't speak, Qingsong spoke.

"I heard that the young lady was here, so I came to check on her out of concern."

Wen Zhirou also said with a smile.

"I wrote to him and asked him to come over. You know, Lao Chu and I settled here. He came to get to know the way so that it would be easier for him to find the place later."

Chen Shiyi smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go put the things away first."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll treat you to a visit to the Yingke Building later. The duck cooked by their chef is really delicious."

In the compartment, Chen Shiyi sat next to Wen Zhirou, and there was an empty seat to her right.

Wen Zhirou immediately shouted to Wen Zhiheng.

"Brother, come and sit here."

Before he could finish his words, Fu Da had already sat next to Chen Shiyi, causing everyone to look at each other in surprise.

Fu Da seemed not to see their looks and just spoke coldly.

"You can serve the food now."

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled.

This is Fu Da.

The cold-blooded Fu Da seemed like a different person at this banquet.

It was common for him to ridicule Chen Shiyi, and at this moment, he was the one who was being attentive.

He served her tea and water, picked up dishes and served soup. Although his movements were unfamiliar, he did not leave any chance for others to intrude.

Wen Zhiheng glanced at them and ate his meal slowly. Qingsong next to him felt very unhappy.

Chen Shiyi hurriedly stopped him.

"You should take a break."

Qingsong also continued.

"Brother, I heard that you are very skilled in Kung Fu. After the banquet, I would like to exchange some skills with you. What do you think?"

Fu Da shook his head.

"No, you're too weak, it's meaningless."

Chen Shiyi poked Fu Da with his finger.

"Speak nicely."

Fu Da put down his chopsticks.

"I'm full. Are you full?"

Chen Shiyi glanced at him, then frowned slightly.

"It's not bad…"

"Then let's go!"

Chen Shiyi thought that Fu Da had always been a very sensible person, and he couldn't eat today's meal.

"good."

She spoke to the people at the table.

"Enjoy your meal. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he followed Fu Da out.

In the dusk, the two figures were stretched out very long.

"What's wrong with you? You're acting weird today."

Fu Da said carefully.

"Don't look back."

"What's wrong?"

"Since we entered the restaurant, we have been spied on by a highly skilled expert."

Chen Shiyi rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"Why didn't you warn them?"

"This person has no intention to kill, but I suspect he was sent by Pei, so we should stay away from the Wen family to avoid harming them."

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"You are right, but they are not necessarily Pei Luoshu's men. He is now in a difficult situation in the court and is extremely short of manpower. Moreover, he knows that I have you to protect me, so he will not send anyone else."

"I'll go find them after I send you back."

"good."

Wen Zhiheng, who was still in the compartment, watched Chen Shiyi and Fu Da leave and pondered for a while.

This person has always been the guard beside Chen Shiyi. I have heard before that this person has extremely strong martial arts skills and is a calm and taciturn person. He was very abnormal today.

It seems that something is wrong with this place.

He put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand.

"I'm done eating, let's go."

Wen Zhirou nodded and responded with a smile upon seeing this.

"good."

On their way back, they met Fu Da. Just when they were about to ask him something, they saw him wave his hand, climb up the eaves from the alley as light as a swallow, and then climb up to the roof. He stayed there for a short while and then jumped down quickly. His solemn expression finally relaxed.

Wen Zhiheng asked with a puzzled look.

"What happened?"
