Chapter 078 Jin丨Exclusive publication of Jiang Wenxue
The carriage that Xie Heng rode in entered the city and slowly drove towards the Taiping Palace.
The subject deliberately got up from the bed and asked Xiao He: "Where is Lian'er?"
Xiao He said: "Several doctors have come to the palace, and the prince is entertaining guests in the flower hall in front. Do you want me to call him over?"
"No need, come with me for a walk outside."
Xiao He put on an extra piece of clothing for him, followed Xue Chen, and accompanied him to the garden for a walk, and then they came to the flower hall.
System: [You came here on purpose, right?]
Xue Chen: [Such a good opportunity, I must seize it.]
System: [? 】
The attendants in the flower hall saluted him: "Young Master."
Gong Jiu hurriedly stood up to greet him upon hearing the voice, and the doctors followed him out to greet him.
"Brother, why are you here? It's windy outside, come inside quickly."
"No need to be polite." Xue Chen said kindly, "I feel much better today, so I thought I'd go out for a walk. I heard that there were guests coming, so I should meet all the gentlemen. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."
The doctor behind Gong Jiu hurriedly saluted back: "No, no, you are too polite, Young Master."
Xue Chen showed off his personality and walked into the house side by side with his brother. He was very close to Gong Jiu.
Gong Jiu couldn't help but whispered: "Brother, do you have something to say to me?"
He was in a good mood.
His brother had already said what he wanted to say, no longer alienated himself, and was willing to be close to him. The two brothers put aside their past grudges and were as close as ever. The eldest brother knew that he was here and came here on purpose. He didn't come to see these quacks, but to see him!
Xue Chen smiled and said softly: "Is Xie Heng coming?"
The light in Gong Jiu's eyes dimmed, and he said coldly: "He should be here in the next few days."
Xue Chen: "I haven't seen him for a while. I wonder how he is now."
Gong Jiu: "Big brother and Xie Heng have a good relationship?"
Xue Chen blinked his right eye at him: "Before in Longxing Mansion, I used your identity to interact with him, but the number of times I met was not many. Now I have the opportunity to get along with him well."
Gong Jiu thought his brother's playful look was very cute, but he couldn't laugh at all.
He took the initiative to give up the throne to his elder brother, hinting at his elder brother's status in the mansion, so that no one who was blind would dare to neglect him.
The maid brought tea. Gong Jiu lowered his head and looked at her coldly, "I don't know that the eldest master has been taking medicine recently. Does he need to avoid certain foods? Take away the tea and replace it with something else."
The maid was a little afraid of him and lowered her head: "Yes."
Xue Chen knew that Gong Jiu was actually expressing the palace's concern for his health and warning the doctors not to use medicine casually. He appreciated his brother's good intentions.
At this time, someone came in and reported: "Eldest master, prince, there is another guest outside. The other party said his surname was Xie. Do you want to let him in?"
"It's Xie Heng who's here. I just mentioned him, and he's here so soon. We really have a tacit understanding." Xue Chen stood up and said to the doctors sitting below, "Xie Heng is an old friend of mine and Ren'er, and his medical skills are also very good. I have been ill these few days, and Ren'er specially invited him here."
The doctors all knew how to read people's expressions, and when they heard what Xue Chen said, they stood up and said, "So it's a reunion of old friends, so we must not neglect it."
Xue Chen glanced at Gong Jiu, and Gong Jiu said, "The accommodation for everyone has been arranged, and the servants will come over soon to take you there to rest. There are a lot of things to do today, so my brother and I will not accompany you."
Doctor: "We dare not, we dare not."
Xue Chen and Gong Jiu came out of the flower hall.
The more Gong Jiu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt: "Xie Heng is of low status, how can we trouble big brother to go there in person?"
Xue Chen didn't really want to go either. Although it wasn't too far from here to the main gate of the palace, it was a long way to go back after he went there.
He had been walking around in the garden for a long time today, and his exercise volume had already reached the target, so he didn't want to move at all.
In order to get revenge on his stupid brother, Xue Chen deliberately said: "Xie Heng is in poor health after all, so can we let him come by himself? By the way, we don't know where he came from?"
Gong Jiu was prepared, but he couldn't help feeling guilty when he lied to his brother. He didn't dare to look his brother in the eye and looked away: "Yingtian Prefecture."
Xue Chen didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Gong Jiu felt uneasy, wondering if he had revealed his true colors in front of his elder brother, and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the palace.
His elder brother was too sensitive and meticulous, and if he spent too much time with him, some things would definitely be exposed.
It was because of this that Gong Jiu did not dare to stay at home for a long time, fearing that he would reveal flaws in his words and deeds, and gradually became estranged from his brother.
The servants told the guards at the gate to let them pass, and Hu Sheng carried Xie Heng down from the carriage.
The threshold of the palace is very high, but most of the time the main gate is not open, only a small door on the side is opened, but it also has a threshold, so a wheelchair cannot pass through.
Mr. Hu ignored the gazes of others and entered the palace with Xie Heng in his arms. After walking a few steps, he saw the twin brothers coming from a distance.
They looked exactly the same, one was dressed in white and looked plain and indifferent, and the other was dressed in a black robe and looked noble and indifferent. Judging from their appearance, they were both extraordinary and stunning at first sight.
Xie Heng looked at Xue Chen.
Xue Chen saw some wrinkles on his sleeves through the sight of the vest, and lowered his head to tidy them up.
Xue Chen: [Why didn’t I notice it before? It’s quite interesting to look in the mirror like this.]
System: [Don’t look at it, your brother is going to get angry.]
Xue Chen: [Isn’t that exactly what I want?]
Having said that, he still couldn’t tease his brother too much.
This bastard is not normal to begin with. If he is pushed into a rage, he may not do anything crazy.
Xue Chen never liked to communicate with others in a pseudonym. In front of his brother, he still had to act.
His expression softened: "You are here."
Hu Sheng stopped, and Xie Heng smiled and said: "It's been a long time. It's a pity that I have a disability and it is not convenient for me to greet you. Please don't blame me, Mr. Xue."
System: [Aren't you ashamed to talk to me like this? ]
Xue Chen: [This is called the self-cultivation of an actor. The first thing to overcome is the sense of shame. Do you know what the first lesson of the acting class is?]
System: [What is it?]
Xue Chen: [Liberate your nature!]
System: […] Are you sure you are not letting yourself go?
Xue Chen: [And I am usually so polite, only polite to others, but rude to myself. That is called double standards.]
System: [6.
Xue Chen smiled and said, "Where is your wheelchair?" Xie
Heng: "Mr. Hu was busy all the way. I just had to sit down. I really didn't know."
Mr. Hu: "The young master's wheelchair is in the carriage at the back. As I didn't know the layout of the palace, I didn't ask anyone to carry it out."
Xue Chen: "The road when we just entered the door was relatively flat. There is a gravel path ahead, which is indeed inconvenient. Let's go back and see if it can be replaced with bluestone slabs. Then you can move around the palace on your own. I'm inconvenient. Please bear with it for a few days."
Gong Jiu was listening to their conversation as if no one was around, and his face turned green.
He gave Xie Heng a warning look and said to Xue Chen, "Brother, it's windy outside, let's go back first."
Xue Chen nodded and said to Xie Heng apologetically, "It's time to go in and talk, please."
Xue Chen led the way for Hu Sheng in front and occasionally chatted with Xie Heng. The two seemed to be really compatible and got along very well.
Gong Jiu followed them silently, staring at his brother closely, hoping that he could look at him.
Xue Chen turned around and waved to his younger brother, "Why are you walking so slowly? Come here quickly."
Gong Jiu immediately caught up and came to his brother's side, deliberately walking closer.
The more the system looked at it, the more familiar it felt. It thought for a long time: [You used Xiaomian's vest to follow Zhui Ming pitifully before. Did you copy it from your brother? 】
Xue Chen: 【Acting is useful, it's fine. Human emotions are nothing more than a few kinds. Different people react differently, but even with different personalities, certain emotions are common. 】
System: 【Perverts are the same? 】
Xue Chen: 【There are still some differences, the same goes for the mentally retarded. 】
System: 【……】I feel like I'm being scolded again.
The methods that Hu Sheng usually uses are all the methods of the lower five sects. Before he fled to the Nameless Island, he should have been in one of the following trades: driving, boating, inn, foot, and dentistry.
These trades are the lowest level of the underworld, and it is inevitable to deal with all kinds of people, and sometimes you have to do some hard labor.
Therefore, Hu Sheng's martial arts are very good, and his arm strength is not bad. He carried Xie Heng all the way from the front yard to Xue Chen's residence, and he didn't feel tired at all.
Xie Heng, however, had been in the same position for too long and felt a little uncomfortable. After being put down by Mr. Hu, he adjusted his sitting position on the chair and rubbed his lower back with both hands.
Xue Chen: "You should stay at my place for a few days."
Gong Jiu: "No!"
Xue Chen and Xie Heng looked at him together.
Gong Jiu was very angry when he saw that the two of them had such a tacit understanding and their expressions were exactly the same.
It is not easy to lose temper in front of his brother, Gong Jiu suppressed his emotions and spoke in a normal tone: "I have prepared a place for Xie Heng to stay. Xie Heng is physically disabled and needs someone to take care of him. The scenery in the courtyard of my elder brother is beautiful, but it is inevitably inconvenient for Xie Heng."
Xue Chen: "Then listen to Ren'er."
Xie Heng leaned slightly, grabbed the armrest of the chair, and looked at Gong Jiu: "Come and give me a massage."
Gong Jiu looked at him coldly.
Xie Heng is a very useful accountant and has excellent medical skills. He may be able to cure his brother. Gong Jiu actually doesn't mind meeting some of his requests, including massaging him.
But what time is it now?
His elder brother is still here!
What would his elder brother think if he saw it?
Xue Chen smiled and said, "It seems that you have a good relationship."
Xie Heng said slowly, "It is indeed very good. If it were not for the prince's rescue, I would have fallen into the sea and died. Later, thanks to his help, I was able to get my revenge and get rid of the control of my family. He gave me a place to stay and ordered Mr. Hu, such a loyal and reliable person to take care of me. It is really my blessing."
System: [Do you really think so?]
Xue Chen: [How is it possible! I earned all this by myself, and I deserve it! I was counting on my brother to be kind-hearted, but my body was thrown into the sea to feed the fish.]
Gong Jiu knew that Xie Heng was telling the truth, but for some reason, he didn't want his brother to hear this.
He couldn't help but deny: "Brother, he and I just met by chance, we can't say we have a very good relationship..."
Xue Chen's eyes were gentle, and he said with relief: "No need to explain, I know everything. I know a little bit about how you are in front of outsiders. You are too cold, don't talk much, and are not good at expressing yourself, so it is inevitable that people will misunderstand you."
Gong Jiu was a little confused, not knowing why his brother suddenly said that.
He has never been misunderstood by others. He is a little arrogant and disdains to communicate with others, but it does not mean that he is dumb.
He never hides his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in front of beef soup, and occasionally he will make a joke... and his quirk that requires other people to participate is destined to be hidden from others.
Whether it is Wuming Island or Taiping Palace, many people know this.
System: [Is this really Gong Jiu you are talking about? ]
Xue Chen: [Shut up and listen to me continue to make up. Xue Chen: "
You actually care about Xie Heng in your heart, right? When we were in Longxing Mansion, I only saw that you were rude to him, but never thought about your friendship. No wonder you were so angry when I asked Xie Heng to go back to the mansion with me."
Xie Heng smiled and said, "Mr. Xue and I hit it off from the moment we met. Although we haven't spent much time together, our friendship is no less than that of the prince."
Gong Jiu: "..."
Xue Chen: "Friends are not either this or that. Xie Heng being on good terms with me does not mean that I have to distance myself from you. Don't worry, Lian'er, I won't take away your friend."
Gong Jiu: "..."
Facing her brother's meaningful gaze, Gong Jiu remembered that this was the Prince Taiping's Mansion, not an unknown island.
In his brother's eyes, Xie Heng was not a servant working for him, but an equal superior and subordinate.
He was too dissatisfied with his brother's familiarity with Xie Heng, which was really rude and damaged the reputation of the palace, so his brother reminded him in this way, which was also considered as explaining the reason to Xie Heng.
But he was not angry at his brother for taking away his friend!
What made him most angry was that Xie Heng, this little character who suddenly appeared, quickly became familiar with his brother and even surpassed his twin brother.
It was his brother who was taken away by Xie Heng!
Xue Chen: [See, after my nonsense, he is now much more polite to Xie Heng.]
System: [This is how he is in front of you, what about behind your back? Will he vent his anger on Xie Heng?]
Xue Chen: [No. Can't you see it? Xie Heng is the one who really controls my brother. He is a useful subordinate and will not be easily abandoned. He has paralyzed legs, does not know martial arts, and is not in good physical condition. My brother has never forced him to whip himself. 】
System: [Not being forced to whip by your brother is called controlling? 】
Xue Chen: [Why not? 】
