Jiu Gu

Kyoto has always been bustling, and it is very lively on weekdays, and today it is even more noisy. The streets are crowded with people early in the morning, and everyone is there with their heads full to watch the excitement.

Someone who had just entered the city asked curiously, "What are you doing, why is it so lively today?"

A young man next to him took a look at him, and saw the young man in front of him was dusty, his clothes had been washed white, and he was holding a tattered package in his hand, and a few toes were exposed from a pair of cloth shoes , at first glance, he looks like a farmer with no money and no power.

Brother Young Master's expression was a little disgusted, but the desire to gossip with others obviously surpassed the disgusted thoughts, so he said enthusiastically, "You don't even know this! This is such a grand occasion for the new champion to marry the daughter of Zuo Xiang's family. I haven't seen you for more than ten years... Tsk tsk, look at these dowries, the number one scholar is really blessed!"

The young man who asked the question was stunned, and the words Zhuangyuanlang froze him in place. He subconsciously grabbed the man by the collar, "Which Zhuangyuanlang?"

Brother Young Master suddenly struggled in dissatisfaction, "Hey, hey, what are you doing!" The young man in front of him obviously looked very slender and thin. It may be because he often does farm work, but his strength was unexpectedly strong. How much did that man struggle? Unable to struggle to get away, he rolled his eyes, "Of course it's Su Ziming, the champion of the new discipline, who else could it be?" He was not afraid that this person would beat him in a large audience, after all, this is the capital, and for this wedding, there was someone beside him There are people from Wucheng Bingma Division guarding it. As long as he yells, someone will come to solve it.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the strength on the collar loosened. The young man took a few steps back, his face full of disbelief, "No, it's impossible..."

Brother Gongzi became interested when he saw his appearance, "Oh, what's the matter, do you know Zhuangyuanlang? Are they relatives? Didn't you say that Zhuangyuanlang's family is only left with him..."

Qi Jin could no longer listen to the next words, he stumbled and walked in the crowd, his mind went blank.

How is it possible...Brother Ziming is getting married...How is it possible...

Didn't Brother Ziming say that he will live a good life when he is named on the gold list?They've obviously already talked about it.

Where is the capital city, there are a lot of young masters and young masters of all kinds, especially now that there are many people watching the excitement, now that Qi Jin is walking in such a distraught manner, I don't know how many people he bumped into.

Those with a good temper scolded a few words, and those with a bad temper just waved their fists and started beating people.No, Qi Jin bumped into an eldest young master, and was immediately surrounded by a group of servants and beat him up.

Fists rained down on his body, Qi Jin just instinctively curled up into a ball.There was a lot of noise around, but he didn't seem to feel anything.

The Su family is their small landlord. Qi Jin's father was originally a temporary laborer of the Su family. Qi Jin would occasionally follow Qi's father, looking at the clean and beautiful young master with eyes full of admiration.

Later, the Su family encountered bandits. Except for the little Su Ziming who escaped by hiding in the cabinet, the entire family died.

The bandit was finally caught and beheaded by the magistrate, but the dead man could never come back.The Su family's property was quickly divided up by relatives, and Su's young master, Su Ziming, became a burden that everyone despised, even having problems eating.

Father Qi is kind after all, thinking that Master Su was good to them in the past, so he took the children home for a meal from time to time.

Su Ziming was also a spirit, he immediately kowtowed to Father Qi and recognized his adoptive father.

Then Su Ziming stayed at Qi's house. When he found out that he was very talented in reading, Qi's father actually gritted his teeth and wanted to send the two of them to school.

The training for Mr. Xuetang is not low. This is a poor family, how can it be possible for two people to go to school?The people around thought that Qi's father was crazy, not to mention the children of the family who raised him for nothing, and wanted to support him in education.Father Qi didn't care about it. After finishing the farm work every day, he would go to the mountains to hunt some wild game or pick some wild vegetables, either to improve the food, or to sell it to save money.

After discovering the plight of the family and Su Ziming's thirst for books, Qi Jin voluntarily gave up the opportunity to enroll, rolled up his sleeves and began to help the family. Even if he worked more and ate less, he still wanted to confess Su Ziming.

In order not to affect Su Ziming's scientific research, he also kept the matter of Qi's father's illness and death a secret.That was what Father Qi meant, and it was also what Qi Jin meant. They all hoped that Su Ziming would be able to take the exam well, and they all firmly believed that he was the phoenix that flew out of the chicken coop, and that he could soar into the sky.

Qi Jin even thought that even if Su Ziming didn't pass the exam this time, it doesn't matter, he has grown up and can support the family, and he will earn all the money Su Ziming needs in the future.

It wasn't until Qi's father's funeral was over, and he heard the news that Su Ziming had won the first prize, that Qi Jin felt that there was nothing left to miss at home, so he packed up his parcel and rushed to the capital all the way.

However, he never expected that when he came to the capital after all the hardships, he heard the news that Su Ziming was married.

Qi Jin's mind is full of the scene of the day when he gave up his studies, the young Su Ziming knelt in front of him, crying with tears all over his face, and swore that he would treat him well for the rest of his life.

No matter how hard life is, seeing the figure sitting at the desk reading a book seriously, he feels that everything is worth it.

At that time, he naively thought that as long as Brother Ziming is promising, their life will be easier. He doesn't have to work from dawn to dusk every day, and Brother Ziming can eat more delicious food. He is so good-looking, he must buy some nice clothes for him to wear, and it is best to buy two servants to serve him. A person like his Ziming should not be worldly...

He used to think a lot, and these things used to be the motivation to support him from morning to night.But now, Ziming really has everything. The emperor's new champion, the champion who married a noble girl, has a bright future.

But what about him?

Such a bright future has no place for him.

Qi Jin curled up into a ball, his body hurting, but he didn't have any thoughts of resistance. For a moment, he even felt that it would be good to just die like this.He had nothing left anyway.His mother had passed away a long time ago, and his father was gone, and in order to make enough money to pay for coming to the capital, he sold all his family's fields, and he almost had nothing when he came here.

The only relative has also become a relative and has his own family. What's the point of living alone in this strange place?

Just when Qi Jin was full of despair, there was a crackling sound in his ears, and then there were waves of groans/groans one after another, and the fists that landed on his body seemed to disappear, and he was still in a daze. His chin was suddenly lifted up, Qi Jin followed the strength of his palm, and met a pair of bottomless eyes.

Qi Jin blinked, wondering if he had been hallucinated, he always felt that he could see distress in the eyes of the man in front of him.

Before he could react, he was lifted up into the air, and there were gasps all around.

Qi Jin instinctively grabbed the man by the collar, and began to struggle subconsciously, "You, what are you doing!"

A low laugh came from the top of his head, "Didn't you see it? This king is robbing civilian men!"

Qi Jin was dumbfounded for a moment, and even forgot to struggle. He stared blankly at the handsome young man in front of him, and then subconsciously looked at the back of his hand that was holding the young man's exquisite Chinese clothes. Blushing, I don't know whether to be angry or ashamed.

Seeing Qi Jin's reaction, the man in Chinese clothes almost laughed out again, fearing that he was really angry, so he simply pressed his head into his arms.

I don't know if he wants to be out of sight and out of mind, but Qi Jin didn't struggle anymore, and obediently let him be hugged in his arms without making a sound.

In fact, Qi Jin himself also felt very strange, obviously he had never seen this man before, and he was such a rich and noble man who would hide away when he saw him on weekdays, but when he was hugged by him, he felt very at ease a feeling of.

He thought it must be because the incense on this person smelled so good, otherwise why would he feel so at ease?The exhaustion from traveling all the way almost swept away at this moment, and Qi Jin fell asleep unconsciously.

When Gu Jiu saw that the person in his arms was not moving, she was startled. She strode back to the palace and called for the imperial doctor. Seeing his nervous expression, the servants invited the imperial doctor very quickly. Finally, the old man The imperial doctor's speed was too slow, so he simply carried the person over with his shoulders.

The poor old imperial doctor had an old bone and was bumped like this, his bones almost fell apart.However, this is the ninth prince who is the most beloved by the emperor today. He was named King Rong when he was just an adult, which shows how much the emperor's favor is.He didn't even dare to say a word of complaint, and quickly went to see the patient with the medicine box in his arms.

There was a dirty young man lying on the gorgeous bed, who looked very out of place with this room. Although the old imperial doctor was a little bit worried, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. complexion.

Gu Jiu couldn't wait any longer, the old man looked at and touched the little stone in his house, if he didn't see how old he was, he would have thrown him out a long time ago.

Seeing that King Rong's complexion was very bad, the old imperial doctor didn't dare to delay, and said hastily, "Report to the lord, this young master only has some skin trauma, and there is nothing serious."

Gu Jiu obviously didn't believe it, "Then why did he pass out?"

The old imperial doctor was ashamed, "This... this young man was too tired and fell asleep."

Gu Jiu was a little speechless, thinking that it was normal for Xiao Shitou to feel tired after the long journey from his hometown.He waved his hand, "Okay, you go down." He suddenly thought of something, and he said, "Wait, you go and prescribe some medicinal recipes and send them to the kitchen. The princess is so thin, so I need to make up more in the future." Just do it."

The old imperial doctor responded subconsciously, then raised his head suddenly as if he had realized something, and looked at Gu Jiu in disbelief.The attendants and maids around who heard this couldn't help raising their heads to look over, but then they thought it was wrong, and quickly lowered their heads.

There was only one thought in everyone's mind: I must be hallucinating!
