Chapter 520 These days seem to be particularly unlucky
A few days later, Wei Zihang came to ask Xingxing out again.
This time, Wei Zihang's arrangement was more roundabout. He was trying to persuade Ju Ge'er to take Xing Xing out to play.
Wei Zihang and Ju Ge'er are currently studying at Zhizhi Academy, and are classmates with Song Shouqing. They said that their academy is holding a small poetry recitation and couplet writing gathering, and there are some small activities, and you can bring the female family members to participate, which is equivalent to a small garden party in Zhizhi Academy.
Although Ju Ge'er felt that Wei Zihang was up to something, he still found this matter quite interesting, so he came back and asked Xing Xing if she wanted to go and play.
Xingxing would naturally go.
Even though he is his brother, Ju Ge'er still reminded Xing Xing: "The way Wei Zihang looks at you is like a pig trying to get cabbage. You don't have to pay attention to him when the time comes."
After a pause, Ju Ge'er looked outside furtively. Seeing that no one was around, he quickly said, "Although Song Shouqing is my sister-in-law's cousin, he is also a relative of ours, but you should stay away from him."
He had identified this person as a pig that wanted to take advantage of others.
Xingxing felt helpless.
On the day of the garden tour, Zhizhi Academy had a ten-day holiday. Ju Ge'er got up early in the morning, washed up, and went to Qiu Shui Garden to look for Xing Xing.
Xingxing has very good living habits. Generally, if she has nothing else to do, she is used to going to bed early and getting up early.
It’s just that Ju Ge’er came too early, and Xing Xing hasn’t had breakfast yet.
There is a small kitchen in Xingxing's Qiu Shui Yuan, which is convenient for Xingxing to use when she wants to have some snacks.
When Zhaoying saw Ju Ge'er coming, she quickly asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes of Ju Ge'er's favorite breakfast.
Ju Ge'er said without hesitation, pointing at the steaming wontons with coriander in front of Xing Xing and saying, "This looks good."
He took a new spoon and scooped a wonton directly. He tasted it and said, "Hey, it tastes quite delicious."
Xing Xing nodded: "My aunt saw that I liked it, so she taught me how to make it in the small kitchen here."
"No wonder it's so delicious." Ju Ge'er ordered the dishes without hesitation and told Zhaoying, "Give me a bowl of this too."
Zhaoying responded with a smile.
As a result, not long after Ju Ge'er sat down, a servant came to report that the young master of Jiping County Prince's Mansion came to look for the fifth young master.
Ju Ge'er almost jumped up: "Wei Zihang must be crazy!"
But no matter how much people curse, people cannot be left out in the cold.
Ju Ge'er said unhappily, "Take him to my yard and wait there!"
The servant took the order and left.
After a while, the servant came back to report: "Young Master Wei said that he didn't have enough breakfast and is hungry now, so he asked if Fifth Master has anything to eat."
Ju Ge'er was almost so angry that he jumped up again: "It's fine if you came here early, but you also want to eat at my house?!"
He comes here to eat for free today, so does that mean he wants to have sex with his sister tomorrow? !
Be careful in making friends!
Orange brother was heartbroken.
Xing Xing found it funny, but she didn't mind it too much: "I'll ask Zhao Ying to go to the small kitchen and ask him to make some. You can just bring it back to him when you go back."
But Ju Ge'er was not happy: "Why should I give him the food from my sister's yard? He is getting such a bargain!"
Xing Xing just smiled with her lips pursed.
However, even though he complained, after he finished eating, Ju Ge'er wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and still picked out a few breakfast items and put them in his lunch box while cursing.
"Xingxing, take your time eating. I'll go back to feed the pigs first." Ju Ge'er said, "When you've finished cleaning up here, just ask the maid to go to my yard and tell her."
Xing Xing agreed, and Ju Ge'er said, "Don't worry, don't rush anything, just take your time! Who asked him to come so early? He deserves to wait!"
"Okay, okay, I got it." Xing Xing was helpless.
Only then did Ju Ge'er walk away with the food box, cursing.
When Ju Ge'er returned to his yard, Wei Zihang, who was bored waiting, suddenly brightened up and came up to him: "Good brother, did you bring me any food?"
Ju Ge'er put the food box on the table in a bad mood and said, "Eat, eat, eat. Why don't you eat until you die?"
Wei Zihang chuckled, opened the lid of the lunch box, and took a deep sniff: "What a nice smell!"
Seeing this, Ju Ge'er frowned: "Brother, can we not look so sick?"
Wei Zihang chuckled: "When I think that this is Sister Xingxing's breakfast, I feel happy and think it must be delicious."
Brother Ju’er’s eyes almost rolled up to the sky.
Ju Ge'er continued to curse, but he still asked the maid to serve hot water to Wei Zihang.
He knew that something was wrong with Prince Jiping's Mansion these days and it seemed to be particularly unlucky.
When she heard that three pregnant concubines in the backyard of Prince Jiping's mansion had miscarried one after another, Princess Jiping's face turned pale.
However, no one suspected the Princess of Jiping County. After all, there were so many concubines in the backyard of the Prince of Jiping County's mansion, and they were all living well, which showed that the Princess of Jiping County was at least not a harsh mistress.
I haven't taken care of my illegitimate sons and daughters for so many years, how could I possibly take care of them all of a sudden?
If it was just a concubine's child, it wouldn't be particularly unlucky. After all, these things were nothing new in the dirty backyard.
But apart from that, Wei Zihang's eldest brother, the prince who had barely made it onto the list of meritorious students in the imperial examination, first broke his leg, and then mistakenly took two contradictory tonics, and suffered greatly.
This is just one example. In addition, other people in Prince Jiping’s mansion were all injured or suffered to varying degrees.
Wei Zihang was actually feeling a little depressed these days, and that was why, even though Ju Ge'er was cursing at him, he didn't chase Wei Zihang away.
Wei Zihang was eating breakfast when Ju Ge'er suddenly sniffed and sniffed again, finally finding Wei Zihang's body, frowning and asking, "What's burnt on you? Why do I smell something burnt?"
Wei Zihang was also puzzled, so he stretched out his arm to smell it, and finally he smelled the scent coming from the sachet around his waist.
Wei Zihang opened the sachet and found a black, burnt substance inside.
Ju Ge'er frowned: "What is this?"
Wei Zihang was stunned: "This is the amulet you gave me before."
Ju Ge'er was speechless for a moment.
Of course he remembered this amulet.
At that time, Xing Xing went to the temple to ask for a lot of amulets and distributed them to her family. Ju Ge'er also had a few, but one of them was snatched away by Wei Zihang.
It was the time when Prince Jiping fell off a cliff and was rescued by Xingxing and Daxi Sipo. Seeing that his brother's father was so seriously injured, Ju Ge'er didn't want to argue with his brother about a talisman.
I never expected that today this amulet would become like this?!
Wei Zihang suddenly remembered something, slapped his head, and said with an unpleasant expression: "Damn, I remember that when I was riding here, a carriage lost control and hit me. Fortunately, the carriage was controlled in the end, and nothing happened."
Wei Zihang and Ju Ge'er looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds.
Could it be that this amulet protected Wei Zihang from a disaster, so it turned into this pitch-black color after burning?
