I heard that the bamboo horse has a crush on me

"I still have something to say to Lord Hou. I don't know if it's convenient."

"It's inconvenient!" Shen Bi flatly refused.

Ji Beicheng stepped up the steps, "Aren't you curious how Gao Pian found out about this?"

Shen Bi was startled, turned around and went back to the room, acquiescing to Ji Beicheng to follow, the moment he stepped on the threshold, Shen Bi turned her head and said in disgust: "Take off that thing on you! Put on your clothes."

Ji Beicheng pursed his lips and smiled, took off the rattan, and put on his clothes in a good manner.

"Say it! Is it you?" Shen Bi didn't even give him a glass of water, and just wanted him to get out of here after he finished speaking.

"I really didn't spread the matter between you and me, but as the other party involved in this matter, I can't get rid of it."

"What do I have to do with you? I have nothing to do with you!" Hearing this, the luxuriously dressed young master turned red and jumped up as if stung, "If this is what you want to say, then you You can get out! Bring up this matter again, don't blame me for facing swords!"

Ji Beicheng didn't add fuel to the flames, and said seriously: "It was my slip of the tongue."

Now that Shen Bi has determined that he did this, it doesn't matter whether he explains it or not.There is no difference between the two of them.

Seeing that Ji Beicheng still refused to leave, Shen Bi urged, "Is there anything else?"

"The hairband is pretty." Ji Beicheng pointed to the red ribbon in his hair, pursed his lips and smiled.

"Get out!" Shen Bi gave him a white look, and pushed him up.

Ji Beicheng staggered, was pushed out, and the door slammed shut in front of him.He looked sideways at Uncle Fu for a moment, then smiled coquettishly, "Farewell, Beicheng!"

Uncle Fu had been guarding the door the entire time, so he naturally heard the conversation in the room. Thinking about the grievances Ji Beicheng had suffered at Shen Bi's place for so many years, he felt sore, "General, I have wronged you."

Ji Beicheng smiled, "There is nothing wrong with it. If I had experienced those things when I was young... I would not be as good as him." Speaking of those things, Ji Beicheng's eyes dimmed, "I only hope he can untangle his heart."

"The general is going to Beijing, does the emperor know?" Fu Bo asked a lot.

"I don't know." Ji Beicheng lowered his voice, "I came here secretly."

Uncle Fu was stunned, "The general came to Beijing rashly, is it just to...to apologize to Master Hou?"

"No?"

Uncle Fu sighed, how could one or two be so indifferent? "The general has a lot of troops in his hands, and he went to Beijing privately like this..." Uncle Fu didn't go any further, knowing that he didn't need to go any further.

Ji Beicheng didn't take it seriously, "I am loyal to the emperor, and the sun and the moon can be seen. What's more, how can I be afraid of the shadow when I am upright? Uncle Fu is too worried."

Uncle Fu became anxious, and raised his voice, "General, it's an eventful time at this time. If you come to Beijing without being called, you will inevitably cause trouble. What's more, if you go out from the Hou's mansion, if someone sees you, this... this is something that will happen." A hundred mouths can't tell!

"Get out!" Shen Bi opened the door and yelled viciously at Ji Beicheng, "If you want to die, don't drag me!"

Ji Beicheng smiled, and nodded his thanks to Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu can only hope from the bottom of his heart that this General Ji has a lot, and don't care about his Lord Hou.Otherwise, he was really worried that one day Shen Bi would be alone and helpless in court.

"Hurry up and go back to the southwest tonight, don't implicate the Marquis!" Shen Bi dropped these words and entered the inner room.

Ji Beicheng has been visiting the Shen family for many years, but Shen Bi's preferences and even the style of the interior furnishings remain the same as before, almost unchanged.He came to the study with ease, and just as he raised the bead curtain, an ancient scroll was stuck on his face.

"Don't step into the study, don't make any noise!"

—Even what I said was the same as before.

Ji Beicheng withdrew his stepped foot, and sat on the floor through the bead curtain, "I came to your house for the second time, and you said the same thing, almost verbatim!"

Although he looked at the four walls, he couldn't bear to feel Shen Bi's sharp eyes, and he shut up, "I won't speak!"

Shen Bi withdrew his eye knife and continued to bury his head in the copybook.

Most of the time, he is like a cat with fur, ready to attack at any time. Only when he is serious about doing something, will all the sharp and dense spines all over his body be put away.

Like this moment.

He is like a lazy cat who hides among the dense branches and leaves in the afternoon and falls asleep soundly.

Ji Beicheng suddenly wanted to become the ancient scroll on the desk, and wanted to know what kind of light was shining in his eyes at this moment—that innocent eyes that seemed to contain the purest jade in the world. Met once when they first met.

Three years later, when he went to Shen's house for the second time, Shen Bi was already seven years old.

Ji Beicheng recognized him at a glance, but Shen Bi no longer remembered him.

For a seven-year-old child, the look in his eyes can be described as hatred. He didn't know what Shen Bi had experienced in those three years, why the innocence in his eyes disappeared, leaving only suppressed hatred, pain and despair.

At first, he simply thought that Mrs. Shen's death had hit him too hard.But later he realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

Ji Beicheng is very intelligent, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is very talented in arranging troops. Shen Qiuhong loves him very much, so he often lives in Shen's residence.

That summer, the weather was extremely hot.

It was already noon when Ji Beicheng arrived at Shen's residence.The scorching sun shone brightly on the entire land, and people were already sweating profusely after walking a few steps under the sun.

When passing by the garden of Shen's mansion, he saw a child about seven or eight years old boxing under a tree.He was thin and weak, and his fists were weak, but he practiced over and over again without getting tired.

Ji Beicheng stopped and asked the servants of the Shen family, "Is that Shen Bi?"

The servant nodded respectfully, "Master Ji, he is my young master."

"Young master?" Ji Beicheng didn't understand, Shen Qiuhong was a marquis, shouldn't he be called his eldest son?Why is he called Master Shen Bi?

The servant said: "This...is what Lord Hou meant."

He was only ten years old at the time, and he couldn't understand the adults' thoughts, so he didn't take it seriously. "In such hot weather, why is your young master still practicing boxing?"

The servant didn't seem to want to say more, "That's what the Marquis meant. Mr. Ji, the Marquis has been waiting for a long time, let's go!"

Ji Beicheng had lunch with Shen Qiuhong, but Shen Bi was not there during the dinner. While answering Shen Qiuhong's question, he was absent-minded while eating, and couldn't help but think of the little figure under the tree.

After dinner, Shen Qiuhong had something to do and left the mansion, Ji Beicheng dismissed the servants and walked around the mansion alone.

Beside a piece of green bamboo, the little man was still pumping his fist meticulously and attentively, beads of sweat formed a small river on his fair cheeks.

"A Bi!" Ji Beicheng took out a small paper bag from his arms and waved at him.

Shen Bi turned her head and glanced at him, but she didn't stop, "What's the matter?"

Ji Beicheng brought the cold horseshoe cake to him, "Have you not had lunch yet? Try this iced horseshoe cake, it's the best way to relieve the heat."

Shen Bi shook his head.Today's boxing has not been practiced well, and his father will not allow him to eat.

The tea-yellow, translucent pastry was smelling sweet at the moment, he couldn't help but licked his lips, took a look but immediately looked away.

Ji Beicheng handed the horse cake in front of him, "Why don't you practice after lunch?"

Chen Bi's face was dripping with sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, "Daddy won't let me."

"Is Lord Hou so strict?"

From Ji Beicheng's point of view, Shen Qiuhong is kind, kind, and extremely brave, so he should be a good father!

Shen Bi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Who are you? Why did you come to my house?"

Ji Beicheng smiled, "You met me when you were four years old and said you wanted to marry me, don't you remember?" He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Ji Beicheng's face, "My name is Ji Beicheng. Remember La?"

Shen Bichu was startled when he heard this name, then suddenly jumped up, pushed him to the ground, and shouted: "Get out! Get out!"

"A Bi!" Ji Beicheng didn't understand why the child had such a big reaction when he heard his name.

Tears welled up in Shen Bi's eyes, as if Ji Beicheng had unscrewed his lacrimal glands.No longer caring about Shen Qiuhong's orders, he ran away without a trace.

Ji Beicheng glanced at the horseshoe cakes scattered on the ground, confused.

I don't know what kind of temper this young master is throwing, and where did I provoke him.Is it because of that "marry me" joke?

After all, Shen Bi is a seven-year-old child, if he was teased like this, he would be annoyed too.

Ji Beicheng got up, brushed off the dust on his body, and planned to see Shen Bi again next time and apologize to him.
