◎ "Yes, Pei is indeed boring."◎
As expected, An Jiu fell ill.
This body is really fragile. It's just a minor cold. Nowadays, she doesn't even need to take medicine to recover. But this body has a cough, a fever, and a headache. For a while, she was so sick that she couldn't get up from the bed.
An Jiu finally understood why a cold could be fatal in ancient times. She felt like she was going to die these past two days.
Therefore, Pei Ji was invited to live in Lin Mansion to treat An Jiu.
When Pei Ji was pushed outside the girl's boudoir in a wheelchair, he heard a faint whistle.
When he went in, the whistle stopped. The pale, sickly girl was half leaning on the chaise longue, playing with a small and delicate bamboo whistle with her fingertips. Her long eyelashes drooped, and she looked listless.
As soon as she saw him coming, her delicate little face suddenly wrinkled like a bun.
"Miss An, the medicine is ready."
"I don't want to drink it, you take it away!"
The girl turned her head away angrily. Under normal circumstances, such a willful behavior would definitely be annoying.
However, she is now pale, her voice is hoarse, and she has lost her usual vitality. She looks like a flower hit by rain, withered and colorless, and only arouses pity.
"Miss, be obedient and drink the medicine so that you can get better quickly."
The maid Ji Xiang was already accustomed to the young lady's temper. She first took the medicine bowl, cleared out a small bowl, and took a sip herself.
She doesn't taste it directly because the lady can't stand such contact and she feels saliva.
Even when eating, there must be a pair of serving chopsticks on the table. Once someone fails to distinguish between public and private, the lady will not be able to eat.
"Miss, today's medicine is not that bitter! Really, would you like to try it?"
An Jiu also knew that she had to take medicine to get better, but with a reborn big boss by her side, she couldn't change too quickly.
In fact, it is not difficult to be like Anjiu. Anjiu in the original book is like a low-profile version of her, and she is full of flaws. As long as she is more emotional, more willful, more arrogant, and more "stupid", it will be almost the same.
Yoshika scooped the medicine with a spoon and fed it to the girl's lips.
The girl frowned and was coaxed again and again before she reluctantly opened her mouth and swallowed a mouthful of medicine.
As soon as she swallowed it, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and she cursed: "You lied to me! It's still so bitter!"
The maid who was obviously a few years younger than her but acted more like an elder said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. Please punish me, young lady! Don't be angry, it's bad for your health! Come, open your mouth and eat a candied fruit to reduce the bitterness."
The young lady drank the bowl of medicine with great difficulty. She didn't feel anything, but the bystanders saw that she was sweating.
Pei Ji went out with the empty medicine bowl. Ah Qi pushed the wheelchair behind him and kept clicking his tongue: "That Miss An is really hard to serve, sir. She will be traveling with us next. What do you think we should do?"
"Miss An comes from a good family, so it's normal that she's a little pampered." Pei Ji said indifferently.
Ah Qi didn't think so: "Sir, you won't ask us to serve her together then, right?"
Pei Ji didn't say anything, but he thought of his previous life.
At the beginning, his attitude towards Anjiu was very indifferent. Anjiu also looked down on him as a cripple and would not talk much to him on weekdays.
When she first set out on the journey, she did have a hard time. She didn't know how to ride a horse, she thought the carriage was too bumpy, she was afraid of insects when sleeping in the wild, and she couldn't eat the tasteless dry food.
But in order to be with He Ziqing and not be abandoned by them, the eldest lady took great efforts to control her temper and change herself for her lover.
At that time, his biggest opinion of her was that she was a stupid and brainless woman.
Later, she lost her mind and hurt Qingyan, and ended up killing herself. Pei Ji felt that this woman was even more stupid. Not only was she stupid, but she was also ridiculous. She actually gave her life for "so-called love".
He can't understand, and he won't try to understand.
Until her death, he was indifferent to her, like a stranger he didn't want to have any contact with. It was not until he accidentally found out that she was born on the same day as him that he finally took her seriously.
Sadly, she was already dead by then.
Pei Ji was furious.
Because of her death, his chance of survival was also taken away!
From then on, he hated her for no reason.
I'm afraid no one knows that Pei Ji would hate a dead person. He even hates her more than He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan.
"Woo~"
A sudden whistle interrupted his memories, and Pei Ji was pulled away from the distant memories.
Ah Qi said in annoyance, "I wonder what Miss An is up to again. She's been blowing the whistle these past two days. It's really annoying."
The courtyard they lived in was not far from An Jiu's courtyard. People who practiced martial arts had sharp ears and sharp eyes, so every time she blew the whistle, the two of them could hear it.
Pei Ji said calmly: "Ah Qi, people who practice martial arts must have a calm mind."
As soon as he heard the Master's tone, Ah Qi knew that he was in a bad mood, and quickly replied, "Yes."
After that, I didn’t dare to speak anymore.
Ah Qi was a subordinate that the Master had picked up and raised since childhood. The Master had taught him martial arts, literacy, and all kinds of principles of life. Ah Qi respected the Master more than anyone else. In front of the Master, he was more comfortable and relaxed than an ordinary servant.
So even though he knew that the young master did some things that a "miracle doctor" shouldn't do, Ah Qi never cared.
The Young Master is always right. If the Young Master wants him to die, he will do it without blinking an eye.
But in the past few days, the aura of the young master has become more and more profound, and more and more difficult to understand. Even his disabled legs have unknowingly recovered. But he told him not to make it public and continue to pretend to be disabled.
Ah Qi didn't dare to ask the reason, nor did he know how to ask. He just knew that he should always obey the young master's orders.
After a pause, Ah Qi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sir, the Qingyang City Governor placed an order with Qiansha Pavilion last night, wanting to assassinate the Jiufang City Lord in prison and prevent him from dragging him down. This order..."
"No answer." Pei Ji said indifferently.
Qiansha Pavilion does not have a deep control over the Dark Bank. It usually only provides protection to the owner of the building and others and collects commissions. If the Dark Bank is destroyed, it is destroyed.
Two days passed like this, and An Jiu's condition finally improved. He also received a reply to the letter he sent to the capital.
The reply was not long, less than a hundred words, and was also sent back by the carrier pigeon of the Sword-Forging Villa.
There are three main meanings: 1. Dad has explained the situation to His Majesty, and the governor he sent is on the way and will arrive in two days. 2. My dear daughter, please wait, your brother is also on the way. 3. My daughter has suffered these days, this is a deed to pass xx, you go and claim your father's name to get the silver note, Jiufang City is so remote, don't make yourself suffer!
An Jiu: “…” I finally understand how An Jiu developed this temper.
What are you waiting for? Someone will be here in two days. Will she still be able to leave then?
The next day after receiving the reply, An Jiu packed his luggage quickly and got on the carriage leaving Jiufang City.
In front of the city gate, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin bid farewell in tears, and standing next to them was the little maid Ji Xiang, who was crying her heart out.
After all, Anjiu did not bring Jixiang with him on the journey. Once she left this time, he didn't know whether she would be able to come back. Taking her with him might actually be a disaster.
But she is not like An Jiu in the original novel who doesn't care about anything. When Brother An comes, he will receive a letter she left for him, which has already arranged a good place for Ji Xiang. According to the An family's doting on An Jiu, they will not refuse.
In addition to Ji Xiang, those who saw them off included Zhou Yuru and some women from the Red Mansion who were rescued by them.
I don't know where they heard the sound of the wind, but now they are standing under the city wall, wearing hats and watching the few people leave.
An Jiu leaned out of the carriage window and waved to everyone: "Go back!"
Gradually, the carriage drove away from the city wall, and the people below the city wall could no longer be seen.
An Jiu sighed somewhat melancholy.
"Why is Miss An sighing?" asked another person in the carriage.
There were only two people sitting in this carriage now, namely Pei Ji, who had difficulty walking, and Miss An Jiu.
He Ziqing and Lin Qingyan were riding horses outside the carriage, and Ah Qi was driving for them.
This means that the two of them will spend a lot of time "in the same room" along the way.
An Jiu was too lazy to pretend at this moment. He leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside. He said slowly: "I don't know when I can come back."
Pei Ji was about to say something comforting, such as there would be a chance, but he stopped just as he opened his mouth.
If he successfully found his twin, then maybe there would be no chance.
An Jiu noticed Pei Ji's silence, but didn't care much.
She looked at the scenery for a while and found that there was nothing to see. In this era, the outside of the city was basically wilderness and few people would leave the city. Apart from the merchants, there were basically no passers-by on the road, and martial arts knights were also rare.
An Jiu couldn't sit still for a while. Traveling in ancient times was much more boring than traveling today. There were no mobile phones or computers, and there was even no place to sleep.
This carriage was specially built for Pei Ji. Just like his luxurious wheelchair, its internal facilities are different from those of ordinary carriages.
There are rows of benches on three sides of the carriage, and a table in the middle with just enough space for hands to rest on when sitting down. It is somewhat similar to a modern train carriage.
The bottom of the shaft should also have been shock-absorbing, so the bumps were very light and the ride was very smooth. Pei Ji was sitting at the table reading a book with a cup of tea next to him, and the tea didn't spill.
Seeing that he was reading seriously, An Jiu couldn't help but ask, "What book are you reading?"
The young man, still dressed in plain white, looked up from the book and replied softly, "Pulse Sutra."
An Jiu knew that this was a medical book, but she shouldn't know, so she blinked: "What?"
Pei Ji's expression was calm as he explained, "It's a medical book that talks about the eight extraordinary meridians."
An Jiu turned his eyes away with disinterest and his gaze fell on his cup of tea again.
"What kind of tea is this?"
The young lady was bored and looking for a topic.
“Longjing before the rain.”
"Don't you have any other books here?"
"for example?"
An Jiu counted on his fingers: "For example, travel notes, story books, lecture notes, if that doesn't work, poems and songs will also work!"
Pei Ji shook his head and said slowly, "What Miss An said..." Seeing the girl's expectant eyes, he narrowed his narrow eyes, and a hint of smile flashed in his dark pupils, "There is none here."
The light in the girl's eyes suddenly dimmed, like a cat that had been caught in the rain, with drooping eyebrows and eyes, and visible disappointment on her face.
"Pei Ji, you, you are such a boring person!" She was so angry that she stomped her feet under the table, and her rosy lips were pouting so much that an oil bottle could be hung on them.
The fingers that were turning the page of the book paused slightly, Pei Ji lowered his eyes silently, and twitched his thin lips.
His tone was as if he was mocking himself: "Yes, Pei is indeed boring."
"Dangdang! Fortunately, I had foresight! Look what this is!" The crisp voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Pei Ji looked in the direction of the voice and saw the girl took out a large pile of books from her bag and spread them on the table. At this moment, she was looking at him with her chin raised, her whole face beaming with joy and she couldn't suppress her complacency.
The book covers read: "A Few Things Between Me and the Young Hero", "The Legend of the Knight", "The Peach Blossom Wine Fairy", "That Young Hero is Really Cold"...
The girl crossed her arms over her chest and said arrogantly, "If you beg me, I can show you a copy."
Pei Ji: “…”
"No, that's really not necessary." He was speechless for a moment and said sincerely.
"Hmph, you don't know what's good!" The rejected girl widened her eyes and snorted in annoyance.
Then he picked up a book and started reading happily.
While watching, he asked from time to time: "Pei Ji, is there a sect called the Golden Sword Sect in your Jianghu?"
Pei Ji: “I’ve never heard of it.”
"What? There isn't one? The hero Liu in this book is the descendant of the Golden Sword Sect! You must be ignorant!"
Pei Ji: “…”
The quiet carriage was no longer as peaceful as before. The girl was like a chirping bird, her little mouth never stopped talking.
Why didn’t I know before that she was so noisy?
The author has something to say:
Pei Pei: I’m so boring.
Anjiu: Chirp chirp chirp
Pei Pei: ??? Don’t you think I’m boring?
