I heard that the bamboo horse has a crush on me

Shen Bi didn't really want to see Ji Beicheng, in order to prevent him from harassing her again, as soon as Ji Beicheng left, Shen Bi went to Jing Xiu's other courtyard.

When he was free, he would go over to take a look at Jing Xiu, so as not to worry him and feel uneasy.

Perhaps because of invisible reasons, Jing Xiu's personality has changed a lot, and he is not as chattery as he was in the academy.Every time Shen Bi came, he would either sit alone in the flower hall outside, or be in a daze in his room.

There were originally two maidservants in the courtyard, but Jing Xiu was not used to instructing others in everything, nor was he used to always standing by his side, so when there was nothing to do, he would let the two maidservants back down.But this time, there was no one in the other courtyard quietly.

Shen Bi entered the courtyard, but saw that there was no one in it. He slowed down and walked to the door of the room. There was a suppressed whimpering sound from the half-open door.

Shen Bi moved closer to the crack of the door and saw Jing Xiu sobbing with his back turned to him.

Shen Bi thought for a while, then gently opened the door.

When Jing Xiu heard the movement, he hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, turned his head to look at the door, "Who? Is it Jingzhou?" Except for Shen Bi, no one will come.

Shen Bi said "hmm", "What's wrong with you?"

Jing Xiu stood up and said awkwardly: "I miss my father." The thumb of his right hand kept rubbing the things in the palm of his hand, "I made Jingzhou laugh."

"Your father should be very good to you." Shen Bi's tone was full of envy, he envied every family with loving father and filial son, which he had never had before.

"Yes, he loves me very much. Every time I get money from fishing, he will buy me a roast goose leg. In fact, he also likes to eat it, but he has never bought it once. I was ignorant at that time, and always followed three It was as if he hadn't eaten for a day, and he devoured the roast goose immediately after receiving it, never thinking of asking him if he would like to eat. Jingzhou, sit down!" Jing Xiu raised his hand as a invitation.

Several green filaments overflowed from the palm of his hand.

Shen Bi said: "Is your father's relic in your hand?" He should have been "seeing" things and thinking about people just now.

"You mean this? My father caught it when he was fishing in the sea. He thought it was very delicate, so he brought it back to me." Jing Xiu spread his hands—it was a green palace ribbon with a drape hanging from it. A piece of wood carving as long as the index finger, engraved on the wood carving is a woman, and the woman is still holding a child.The statue is small but lifelike.

Shen Bi's memory was pulled back to the year when she was four years old.

He remembered that it was very cold that day, but his mother kept her head down and carved something, and breathed a sigh of relief at her upper hand from time to time.Shen Bi looked aside for a long time with a small face, and finally lost his patience, "Mother, what are you carving?"

"Mother-in-law! Ah Bi, take a look, does it look like mother-in-law?"

The four-year-old Abi looked at the woodcarving seriously, then at his mother, then at his mother, then at the woodcarving, and finally nodded, "Like! My mother is so amazing! Can you carve one of Abi too?"

"Okay. After a few days, mother will go to Grandpa Li's house, and let him teach mother to carve a little Abi!"

Shen Bi cheered and applauded again and again.Half a month later, my mother showed him the carved wood carving.

"This is mother holding Ah Bi!" Shen Bi couldn't let go of her.

Mrs. Shen made the woodcarving into a palace frieze.Later, when they left the Hou Mansion, the wood carvings were left to Shen Qiuhong.From then on, that wooden palace sash became Shen Qiuhong's waist and never left him.

But now he appeared in Jing Xiu's hands.

Shen Bi firmly suppressed the surging emotions in his eyes, love and hate, pain and shock... "How did your father pick it up?"

"According to him, there was a lot of fog on the sea that day, and there was a battle in that area a few days ago. At that time, no boat went out to fish, but I was sick at that time and had no money to hire a doctor. My father did not The only way is to go to sea.

"In order to catch more fish, he traveled a long, long way. Fortunately, the harvest was not small, and he returned with a full load. Just as he was pulling in his net and preparing to return, he saw a very tall and very big boat. , making his boat look like a leaf.

"He almost ran into the boat. Just as he was turning the boat hard to avoid the big boat, he saw a man tied to the ropes of the boat, and they were pulling him up through the water. This thing came from It fell off him."

No wonder Shen Qiuhong's body was not found. It turned out that he had been taken away long ago.

Who are those people?What do you want his body for?

"Jing Zhou?"

Or did he really not die as Luo Chengxin said?Shen Bi didn't dare to think about it.

"Jingzhou! What are you thinking?"

Shen Bi asked eagerly: "Is the person your father saw dead or alive?"

Jing Xiu shook his head, "Even if he is alive, it should be more or less auspicious."

"Why?" Shen Bi didn't realize it himself, when he asked this sentence, there was a strong sense of refutation in his tone.

Jing Xiudao: "Because my father said that it was a Japanese pirate's ship, and he knew the flag on the ship. That person may have been a sailor who died in the First World War in the South China Sea. Even if he didn't die, why would the Japanese pirates keep him alive? Unless he He is a high-ranking general."

Jing Xiu's words were like a small flame, igniting countless speculations entrenched in Shen Bi's heart.Shen Bi left the other courtyard with a pale face. He needed some time to think about whether it was Fu Zhuo and Gao Pian who were framing Shen Qiuhong, or...

As soon as he returned to his room, he saw Ji Beicheng squatting pitifully at the door, and Shen Bi's hanging heart finally found some comfort. "What are you doing here again?"

Ji Beicheng smiled and said, "Let's see if Master Hou has calmed down."

"As long as I can't see you, I'll be fine!" Shen Bi left a sentence, passed him, and went straight back to the room.

Ji Beicheng stood up and followed, "I don't think so. There are four words written on Hou Ye's face at the moment - he is very worried. You went to see Jing Xiu just now? What did he say to you?"

As soon as Shen Bi came back, Ji Beicheng felt his restlessness and uneasiness, but just like before, Shen Bi was unwilling to tell him.

"That's between me and him, it has nothing to do with you!"

Ji Beicheng didn't speak, turned and left.

On weekdays, it is always noisy in the ear, like a fly, which cannot be driven away, but today it just said "it has nothing to do with you" and left?Shen Bi was stunned for a moment, wondering when Ji Beicheng changed his temper and became so angry.

He was already in a bad mood, and now he was even more depressed.While pinching his brows and sighing, Ji Beicheng came back again, but he had two jars of wine in his hand.

"Do you want to get drunk?"

Shen Bi rolled his eyes at him, "I'm hurt, and you still let me drink? If Uncle Fu sees it, pack up and leave!"

"Don't tell me he doesn't know." Ji Beicheng closed the door, took out two greased paper bags from his sleeve, and opened it. There was a bag of peanuts and a bag of sauced beef.

Shen Bi: "..."

"I know you don't drink much, so just one glass. I'll drink the rest. When I'm so drunk that I'm unconscious, I won't be able to hear what Lord Hou said. Well, it doesn't matter if you scold me." Ji Beicheng put the two altars together Opened it, poured a cup from one jar and handed it to Shen Bi, while holding the other jar, he poured it into his mouth.

Shen Bi frowned, "Did you drink like this?"

"Why should a man care about trifles?"

Shen Bi picked up the wine glass, took a sip, tasteless, he raised his eyes to look at Ji Beicheng, "Water?"

Ji Beicheng smiled heartily, "Well, water!"

Shen Bi put down the wine glass with displeasure on his face, "Interesting?"

"Actually, I also think it's quite boring." Ji Beicheng said, "I thought I was drunk, and Lord Hou could vomit quickly. After all, keeping everything in mind is not conducive to healing."

"I saw Shen Qiuhong's relics." Shen Bi said concisely.It's like saying something, but it's like saying nothing.

Every time Shen Qiuhong was mentioned, the two of them didn't know how to proceed with the topic.

"You go back!" Shen Bi gave the order to chase away the guests, probably because she felt that her tone was too harsh, so she added, "Don't let Yu Meng look for you."

Ji Beicheng smiled, "How does Hou Ye feel about Yu Meng?"

"Good."

"Well, I also think she's pretty good. I don't know which brat will be cheaper in the future?"

Surprised, Shen Bi looked at Ji Beicheng.

"I never had a chance to tell Master Hou that Yumeng's surname is Ji, and she is my uncle's daughter."

Shen Bi: "..." Do you have no chance?You didn't want to say it at all, and deliberately misunderstood!

He didn't have the time to think at the moment, why did Ji Beicheng deliberately misunderstand people?In other words, why deliberately let him misunderstand?

For the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, no one dared to mess with it, so these two days couldn't have been more peaceful.

But two days later, Fu Zhuo made a proposal, to the effect that since the two generals happened to be in the middle of the capital, why not go to the school field outside the city to order soldiers, guide them, and show off the demeanor of our General Yun Chu .The memorial was very long, and it was filled with praise throughout, which made Ji Beicheng and Shen Bi wonder whether someone named Fu Zhuo.

This kind of thing that has no harm at all, the emperor naturally agreed.

There are three school grounds in the capital, and the biggest one they are going to is about three miles outside the city. At that time, besides the current emperor, Fu Zhuo, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, the commander of the Imperial Guard Army, the general of chariots and several others participated in the counting of troops. General in Beijing.

After counting troops, Fu Zhuo also arranged a riding and shooting competition.

Shen Bi's arm was injured, and he had fallen from a horse once. Ji Beicheng was worried about him riding a horse, so he suggested that he should choose archery.

I don't know if the wound has not healed well, or the weather is too cold, and the arrow is too sharp...Anyway, when Shen Bi took aim, he felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and then bright red blood dripped out like a Bright red gemstones.
