Chapter 714: Strategy for the Blind Villain (10)
Ji Yucheng entered the study of Master Qu and sat obediently on a bamboo chair waiting for his return.
Master Qu returned home in a hurry and walked quickly to the study after hearing the housekeeper's announcement.
"Jia Lu", Jia means "fake" and "Lu" is the nickname of the current prince. The moment he saw the person, he was completely certain of his thoughts.
The person in front of him, who else but the current prince.
"Student greets Master." Ji Yucheng bowed.
"Prince, you can't do that." Qu Mingzhu raised his hand and asked naturally, "Prince, why did you come to my humble room today?"
"Can't a student come to the Taifu's house for nothing?" Ji Yucheng smiled, "Taifu, do you not welcome me?"
"No, no." Qu Mingzhu waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't even welcome you, Prince."
"Since Taifu welcomes you, why don't we sit down and play a game." Ji Yucheng pointed to the chessboard he placed in the corner. He had glanced at it before and saw that it was covered with dust. It seemed that the owner hadn't used it for a long time.
"Okay. Prince, please come this way." Qu Mingzhu pointed to the side and his wide sleeves fell down.
Although he was called Taifu, he actually didn't teach the prince many classes. The prince's teacher was the famous teacher Shangshan Sihao invited by the queen. He knew that his knowledge was limited, so he didn't go to the prince. Therefore, the relationship between him and the prince was neither good nor bad.
He was indeed surprised that the prince came to visit him today.
Ji Yucheng certainly knew what the tutor was thinking at the moment, but he didn't care. His father taught him that the result of doing things is the most important. No matter what means are used, as long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, it is effective.
During the hand-talk, he casually mentioned what he saw in the mansion today.
Although Qu Mingzhu was surprised that he cared about his family affairs, he still told her about the situation at home.
Only then did he know that the youngest son of Qu Taifu was born blind. He also figured out why Qu Shiyi wanted to teach his brother to write.
"I heard that Qu Taifu's daughter has a gentle personality and is well-read. I have encountered a lot of confusion recently. I wonder if I can come to the mansion often and study with the eldest lady and the young master?" Ji Yucheng placed the black piece, and the outcome of the game was decided.
Qu Mingzhu didn't expect that he could beat himself at such a young age. He was stunned at first, and then nodded.
He is the prince, and he is just a tutor. Even if she felt that it was inappropriate for him to come to the mansion so often, there was no reason to refuse him because of the difference in status between the monarch and his subjects.
"Sorry for bothering you today. Lu'er, come again tomorrow." Ji Yucheng had changed his name.
Qu Mingzhu was going to send him out of the mansion in person, but he refused.
Ji Yucheng was also planning to go to Qu Shiyi's yard to take a look before leaving the mansion. If the Grand Tutor followed him, he would not have the courage to do so.
Shiyi had been reading to Qu Jingrong for almost a day. Dry mouth and dry tongue were minor matters, but the sticky and uncomfortable feeling was real.
As soon as Ma Jinyang, who had returned from the academy, came to report, she found an excuse to return to her own yard.
"Water. Mammy, prepare the bath water. I want to take a bath." She put her hand in the lotus pot in the yard to temporarily relieve the stickiness on her body. Her fair wrists swayed in the clear water, and the white lotus swayed its roots and floated left and right. She became a painting in the eyes of others.
"My humble servant Jia Lu is here to show his courtesy." Ji Yucheng stepped forward abruptly.
"You are..." Shi Yi suddenly remembered the man who stepped on his foot, and glared at him, "Why are you here?"
"Jia Lu is the student of the Imperial Tutor, and I came to visit you today." He looked straight at her soft face immersed in the lotus water tank. He had seen so many beautiful concubines of his father in the palace, both fat and thin, but only she made him unable to look away.
"Is the visit over?" Shi Yi noticed his lecherous behavior and splashed the water in the water over him. Unexpectedly, he did not dodge or evade, and the water slid down his face and soaked his dark black robe.
"Are you stupid? You don't hide." Her fingers dripping with water pulled out the brocade handkerchief from her sleeves, walked in front of him, and wiped him dry without hesitation.
"You go. This is my residence. Men and women should not touch each other." She stuffed the brocade handkerchief into his hand, "This is also for you. I don't use dirty things."
Men are always like this. After seeing gentle and docile ones, they like hot-tempered but kind ones. You have to be a different type that he has never seen before to catch his eye.
Not many people know that the prince's nickname is "Lu'er", but she is one of them.
She guessed his true identity from the day she heard him introduce himself at the flower and bird market.
Ji Yucheng was dumbfounded holding the wet handkerchief.
He had never met such a woman before. She stared at you one second, and took care of you gently and attentively the next second. She was so close and distant, neither cold nor hot, that he couldn't tell whether she hated him or had no feelings for him.
"Go. Do you want me to call someone to chase you away?" Shi Yi didn't want to waste time with him. He opened his mouth to call for help, and he begged for mercy, "Good lady, I came here specially to apologize today. Don't spread the news to everyone in the mansion."
"Then go quickly. Seeing you reminds me of you stepping on my foot. Your servant is still so arrogant." Shi Yi made a wronged expression, "I have been detained in this mansion for so long. It's rare for me to go out. When I met you, my good mood was gone."
No wonder she was so angry that day.
Ji Yucheng understood a little bit in his heart, and his tone became gentler, "Then I apologize again, young lady. If you like anything, you might as well tell me and I will find it for you as a gift of apology."
Shi Yi blinked his eyelashes, "Are you so nice?"
"Just tell me, young lady." Ji Yucheng found that she was so cute, and her small face and eyelashes fluttered, which made him think of many clean and clear things.
"Since you said so, I would be hypocritical if I refused." She pretended to embarrass him, "I have been tutoring my younger brother recently, and he is very interested in the long-lost "Wen Mo Zhuan". I wonder if you can find it."
If he wanted to find other rare treasures, Ji Yucheng might have to work harder. But this "Wen Mo Zhuan", he had a copy in his bedroom! He had already read it, so it would be no problem to give it all to her.
He immediately agreed, "I will send it to your house tomorrow." Noticing her annoyed expression, he smiled heartily, "I hope Miss won't shut herself up and not see him."
How could it be possible that she deliberately made things difficult for him so that she wouldn't see him
? He had to meet such an interesting girl.
But he didn't know that the girl he thought was interesting was full of a triumphant smile in her heart.
Books, after a few exchanges, there was a reason to contact.
After getting familiar with Ji Yucheng, some things became easier.
