Chapter 89 How high of an official position does she want to be? (Happy New Year!)
Yu Xie's words made the two maids who had caught up with her look at each other in bewilderment.
They couldn't believe what a person who had been in a state of madness for most of the year said, not to mention that the words themselves were unbelievable -
How can someone who has been dead for more than ten years come back?
"It's really His Highness, didn't you see it!" Yu Xie pointed at the wall. The two maids didn't know what she was pointing at. They just thought she was crazy and thought she saw something "unclean", but what they saw was nothing.
"That's right... You can't recognize him..." Yu Xie murmured repeatedly, "Only I recognize him, only I recognize him, it must be His Highness who came back to find me..."
As she spoke, she trembled more and more violently, her face became extremely pale, and she turned around in panic and looked around: "It's His Highness who came back to find me!"
"It's His Highness who has come back to see me!"
Seeing her repeating this sentence over and over again and gradually becoming uncontrollably excited, the two maids had no choice but to forcibly take her back to the courtyard and use both soft and hard methods to make her take a tranquilizing medicine.
Not long after taking the medicine, Yuxie finally fell asleep.
After all this trouble, the two maids were exhausted. One of them wiped her sweat and said, "What happened to Aunt Yuxie today? I haven't seen her like this for a long time."
Although Yuxie's madness has been getting better and worse, it is rare to see him look like he is possessed by an evil spirit like today.
"It looks like he was extremely frightened..." Another person looked around the courtyard and said timidly, "Could it be that he really saw something?"
Her companion glared at her and said, "Even if it is really a wandering spirit of your Highness, why should we be afraid? Your Highness the Princess was such an admirable person when she was alive. She cared about the people of Dasheng. Even if she has become a dead spirit, she is still a heroic spirit. She will definitely not harm the people of Dasheng."
"That's true..." the maid said, and suddenly frowned in confusion, looking towards the house: "Then... why does Aunt Yuxie look so scared?"
They had never seen the eldest princess's face, so they were not afraid when they thought about it. Aunt Yuxie was the eldest princess' closest maid in the past. There was a master-servant relationship between them. In her half-crazy and half-awake words, it was also possible to see her admiration and longing for the eldest princess. It was because she could not accept the fact that the eldest princess was no longer in the world that she became crazy and stupid...
But why is he so frightened at this moment because of the knowledge that "His Highness has returned"?
"Yes... the dead souls are also divided into relatives and strangers. If my mother came back to see me, I would happily rush over and hug her."
After the two of them said this, they felt that Yuxie's reaction was indeed abnormal.
But on second thought -
"But Aunt Yuxie is different from ordinary people after all. Maybe something in her brain is not connected for the moment?"
Some people are missing a string, but Aunt Yuxie obviously has all the strings, but they are all in a mess.
Everything was vague and unrealistic, so the two maids stopped discussing the matter and went back to their work.
Although Yuxie seems to be in a coma, he is not at peace.
The tranquilizing decoction she took was prescribed by a medical officer, and the dosage was well controlled, so as not to cause excessive damage to her body and mind, while also having a good tranquilizing effect.
But that was normal times.
Her mood swings today were obviously different from those in the past.
She had constant nightmares.
She quietly poured the colorless and tasteless powder into a cup of tea, and a slender woman's hand with many small scars from the past took the tea and drank it.
With the slight sound of the teacup being put down, the scene suddenly changed, and she came to an endless snowfield. She kept running and dared not look back, but she seemed to see the scene of His Highness's broken neck.
Just when the pursuers were about to catch up with her, someone came to her rescue. It was arranged by His Highness, and it was His Highness who gave her a chance to survive...
But the person who promised to pick her up never showed up.
That man actually deceived her!
She was still running in the snow, but she saw a sudden red stain in the silver-white. It was blood that dyed the snow red.
Then she saw the woman covered in blood standing in front of her, with silent questioning in her eyes.
She shook her head quickly.
"Your Highness...it's not like that!"
Yuxie suddenly sat up, awakened from her sleep.
It was almost dawn outside the window. My shirt was soaked with cold sweat and my hair was wet and sticky. I couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears.
She covered her face to hold back her tears, tears streaming down her face.
When she raised her head again, her eyes, which had been washed by tears, seemed to have regained a rare bit of clarity.
Recalling what she had seen during the day, she could not distinguish between reality and imagination in her dream.
So she got out of bed slowly, avoided the maid who was keeping watch and sleeping, walked out of the house barefoot, pushed open the gate, and walked out.
After leaving the yard, she ran quickly towards the wall.
With the help of the half-light from the sky, she could clearly see the traces of secret codes painted on the wall.
It's real! It's not a dream! This code is clearly only used by His Highness!
Yu Xie reached out his hand tremblingly to touch the pattern. After his eyes changed a few times, he suddenly began to rub it frantically with his palm.
Her palms were soon rubbed and blood oozed out, and the pattern finally disappeared from her sight.
But it just disappeared from my sight.
Yu Xie's eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. The previous clarity was gone. She turned around and ran to the yard: "No, it's all fake, all fake!"
As the maid was awakened by the noise, the small courtyard in Princess Chongyue's mansion fell into brief chaos again.
At the same moment, in the General's Mansion, Chang Suining had appeared on the martial arts field on time.
Today was the day she was leaving for the Imperial College, but she still came to the martial arts arena.
Chu Xing felt relieved but also reluctant to let Chang Suining go. He repeatedly reminded Chang Suining to study but not to neglect his martial arts practice.
"Uncle Chu, don't worry. I'm not going to be a regular student. I can come back whenever I want."
When Chu Xing heard this, he took the opportunity to put forward his own idea and wanted to finalize it: "In this case, how about the girl coming back for two days every three days?"
Chu Xing's face showed an expression of "Uncle, this request is not too much, right?"
Chang Suining thought about it. Although she felt that this proposal would certainly prove her guilty of being lazy in front of Qiao Yang, she still nodded: "I'll listen to Uncle Chu."
That was pretty much what she had intended at first.
Chu Xing was more and more pleased, and personally prepared a cart of luggage for Chang Suining - from large items like fist sandbags to small items like a bottle of medicinal oil, everything was very meticulous.
Today, Chang Sui'an did not go to the martial arts arena, but waited outside the mansion early, ready to send his sister to the Imperial College.
The moment he saw his sister coming out, the distraught boy immediately put on a smile and urged her in a positive manner: "Ningning, hurry up!"
He forced himself to smile all the way and safely sent the person to the Imperial College. It was not until he was on his way back that a tear appeared in the corner of his eye.
When he returned home, he closed the door and locked himself in the room.
The sword boy felt helpless outside the door and advised through the door: "...The girl is just going out to study, and she will be back in a few days. Why is the gentleman like this?"
"What do you know? You don't have a sister..." A young man's choked voice was heard from inside the house.
"Although I don't have a younger sister, I do have an elder sister. When my elder sister got married last year, I was very unhappy. Didn't you try to persuade me?"
Sitting behind the door, with his back against the door, Chang Sui'an was crying and said frankly, "Who doesn't make sarcastic remarks?"
"Then I am really curious about what you will do if the girl gets married in the future."
Hearing this extremely horrifying topic, the young man trembled in agony: "Then I'd rather die, wuwuwu..."
Sword boy: “…”
Well, when the man was trying to persuade him, he had all kinds of things to say, but when it was his turn, he just took the rope and tied it around his neck.
The sword boy could only suggest: "How about...you also go to the Imperial College to study?"
"If I go, I can only be a student. Not to mention that I have to take the exam, Ningning comes back every three days, but I can't. It's not worth it!"
The sword boy touched his nose.
I have to say that when it comes to matters concerning girls, the man's brain works exceptionally quickly.
There was no other way, so Jian Tong could only give the final advice: "Then cry as much as you can, my dear, so as not to get hurt by holding it in. I will not go anywhere and will stay here with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Sui'an responded.
Listening to the ear-shaking crying, Jian Tong walked away quietly with light steps.
…
The next day, Cui Jing returned to Xuan Ce's Mansion from the palace and unexpectedly saw Adian.
"Senior, are you back to get something again?"
Ah Dian followed beside him, looking a little disappointed: "No, little Ah Li went to study with Military Advisor Qiao, and only comes back every three days. They didn't allow me to go with them, so I had to come back to play with you guys."
Cui Jing: "Study? Go to the Imperial Academy?"
Ah Dian nodded: "Little Ah Li said that she took Military Advisor Qiao as her teacher."
Yuan Xiang was surprised and regretful when he heard this: "Why did Madam Chang want to go to school?"
That day he saw Madam Chang beating his governor in the water, and it was obvious that she was an expert in martial arts. Wouldn't it be a waste of her talent for her to go to school?
The unwanted martial arts talent can be given to him!
Adian said: "Little Ali said she went to school in order to become a high-ranking official in the future."
High official?
Cui Jing wanted to laugh: "How high of an official position does she want to be?"
"Very big! She said that only in this way can she help me deal with all the troubles I get into in the future!" Thinking of this promise, Ah Dian's disappointment finally faded. After thinking for a while, he added, "Probably to become an official as big as His Highness."
Yuan Xiang quickly covered his mouth and said, "General Dian, you can't say that!"
His Royal Highness, the former Crown Prince, is the heir to the throne! Isn't this a job that will cost you your life?
Cui Jing did not seem nervous, and looked forward with a normal expression.
She threatened to take up the sword, and now she has become Qiao Jijiu's apprentice to study and become a high-ranking official - can she handle it? On the other side, Qiao Yubai also expressed the same doubt.
"Ningning... why did you bring all these here?" Looking at the small martial arts arena that Xier had quickly built, Qiao Yubai was surprised: "You want to study, practice martial arts, and learn fishing from your father, can you really learn it all?"
Chang Suining: "Reading is just sitting and killing time. How is fishing different from taking a rest and being lazy? As for practicing martial arts, it is just strengthening the body and stretching the muscles and bones. These are not considered learning."
Qiao Yubai: "..."
He didn't understand, but it opened his eyes.
There are such amazing people in the world who can learn without even thinking they are learning.
"Ningning, brother, it's time to eat." Qiao Yumian's smiling voice came from the corridor.
Chang Suining responded and walked over with Qiao Yubai.
Qiao Yumian stretched out her arm and held Chang Suining, her eyes filled with joy.
She was introverted and gentle in nature. Although she had never complained about loneliness, she was still a young girl after all. Naturally, she was very happy to have a sister of the same age as her.
Wang prepared dinner herself, which took her half a day.
Qiao Jijiu had finished his official duties. He poured himself a glass of wine, smiled and waved to the children, asking them to sit down: "Today is the first day Ningning moved into our home. I specially asked your mother to prepare a table of delicious dishes to celebrate--"
Wang sneered at her husband - when did he tell her that?
Facing his wife's sneer, Qiao Jijiu turned a deaf ear and continued to take credit: "The cooking skills belong to your mother, but I prepared all these top-quality ingredients!"
Hearing the words "premium ingredients", Chang Suining, who had just sat down, looked over with some curiosity.
Qiao Yubai really wanted to say to her - don't be curious, it's meaningless.
Sure enough, Chang Suining soon fell silent.
There were six dishes on the table, four of which were - fish soup with old tofu, steamed big fish, fried small fish, and fried fish cakes.
"Come, Ningning, try it!" Qiao Jijiu urged Chang Suining to pick up his chopsticks.
Chang Suining nodded.
The fish is indeed delicious.
I guess if you don't live here for long, you will witness a hundred ways of fish dying, no, being eaten.
On the way out of the dining hall after dinner, Qiao Yubai whispered, "My father is obsessed with fishing. We can't even finish all the fish at home, let alone us. You should know that my father often gives a few fish as rewards to the students who are favored by him. If we don't eat them, it would seem that we are not respectful to our teacher... Therefore, most of the students in the various academies are terrified by the mention of fish now."
After hearing this, Chang Suining felt that perhaps the following words should be engraved on the gate of the Imperial College as a warning: If you are greedy for pleasure, look elsewhere; if you don’t know how to eat fish, don’t enter this gate.
Let Qiao Jijiu add a small note himself - there is nothing good to say to students who cannot eat a pound of fish a day.
That night, Qiao Yumian talked to Chang Suining for a long time, and only returned to her room after the second watch and went to bed late.
The next day, Qiao Yumian woke up late. She sat up and asked, "Is Ningning still asleep?"
She lives in the same courtyard as Chang Suining.
The maid replied: "Madam Ning has been practicing morning exercises for half an hour."
Qiao Yumian was stunned.
Chang Suining got up early in the morning to practice martial arts, and read with Qiao Yumian at noon when Qiao Jijiu was free. In the afternoon, he was occasionally dragged by Qiao Jijiu to go fishing.
Three days passed like this, and then it was time to return to Chang Mansion.
Chang Sui'an was waiting outside the gate early, the smile on his face was much more genuine than the day he sent Chang Suining to the Imperial College. The only thing missing was to hire a waist-drum and lion dance team to celebrate the return of his sister who had been away for three days.
The lunch that Chang Kuo specially had prepared was also very sumptuous.
Looking at the table full of dishes in front of him, Chang Suining felt very satisfied - especially the fact that there was no fish.
After dinner, Chang Suining finally had the opportunity to ask Ah Che a question on his way back to his residence: "Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to do?"
Happy New Year to everyone, and may everything go well!!! I wish you all a happy New Year at the right time!! (Do you really have time to read? I don’t believe it!) (I have been too unrestrained recently. I don’t know what I ate yesterday, but I got gastroenteritis and vomited non-stop today. Then Song of Thorns comforted me: This is called Rabbit Good Luck!)
