Negative

Li Zhiying obviously came to visit Chen's mansion after hearing the news.

Normally, he was afraid that people would find out his relationship with the Chen family. Chen Jingyu and him met outside the mansion. In the past few years, the number of times Li Zhiying stepped into Chen Jingyu's courtyard can be counted on one hand.

When passing by the bare flower garden, Chen Jingyu didn't know what he meant, and couldn't help taking a peek at Li Zhiying's expression, seeing that he walked past without stopping, as if he had no interest in him at all. , I couldn't help but feel a little lost.

But he quickly cleaned up the emotion on his face, and followed Li Zhi into the wing.

Li Zhiying looked around a few times. Chen Jingyu's residence was so simple that it was even a little empty. There was no decoration in the room. If he knew it, he was the son of a prefect and a fellow prefect. If he didn't know, he thought it was somewhere A poor scholar.

Chen Jingyu saw Li Zhiying's gaze, and then looked at his gray and colorless room. He was afraid that Li Zhiying would dislike him, and was about to ask if he could move to another place for further discussion. What is your brother looking for?"

He suddenly didn't know how to speak, thought for a while, and told Li Zhiying what happened from seeing Li Zhiyuan to Li Zhiyuan's departure, everything was in detail, including what they ate and what Li Zhiyuan said. .

After Li Zhiying listened, even though he was used to reading people's hearts, he couldn't figure out Li Zhiyuan's thoughts for a while, so he frowned slightly and said, "Seventh brother has always been valued by the emperor, and this time I return to Beijing, I am afraid that something will happen. You can deal with him and see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd."

Chen Jingyu nodded and said yes.

"If the seventh brother finds out what happened between you and me..." Li Zhiying seemed to be thinking about what to do.

Chen Jingyu continued, "Your Highness's great cause will not be ruined even if this subordinate dies."

He spoke so easily, as if dead words were of no importance to him. Ever since he entered the attic, besides teaching him skills, Mr. has instilled in him the idea of ​​putting Li Zhiying's great cause first in everything. The words are engraved in his bones, even if he dies, it will not cause trouble for Li Zhiying.

Li Zhiying personally selected the person, so he knew his heart. He stared at Chen Jingyu's firm expression for a long time, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he became sober in an instant, acquiescing to Chen Jingyu's words.

After sending Li Zhiying away, the sky was completely dark, and the dark night pressed into Chen Jingyu's courtyard, making the lifeless courtyard even more desolate.

The glamorous look by the flower garden today flashed through his mind, and he actually thought it was pretty good, but it was just a momentary thought, Chen Jingyu stopped thinking about it, he is a person who walks in the gray area and can't see gorgeous people and things, so he didn't remember Li Zhiyuan's words.

After two days like this, Chen Jingyu thought that Li Zhiyuan would not come to the door again, but was led out of the wing room by a noise in the afternoon.

He is very quiet, and few people set foot in the courtyard, let alone a few people's voices at the same time. I thought it was the wrong place for the guests, but when I went out to take a look, I saw Li Zhiyuan commanding a few servants to walk in with saplings on their shoulders. .

Chen Jingyu asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Li Zhiyuan only used a white jade hairpin to comb his hair today. At this time, he touched the hair hanging from his neck and replied calmly, "I am renovating your yard."

Chen Jingyu didn't expect what he said two days ago to be true, he was stunned for a moment, seeing that the young man had already started digging, he hurriedly stopped, "Everyone stop."

The boy looked at Li Zhiyuan, Li Zhiyuan signaled them to continue, strode towards Chen Jingyu, and said as he walked, "Brother Chen, don't refuse in a hurry, you don't need to do anything, you just need to stay in the room and drink tea. Hua, I will let them all leave within half an hour, so as not to disturb your cleanliness."

Chen Jingyu is a person who is used to the rules, not as casual as Li Zhiyuan, he was a little annoyed that Li Zhiyuan had come here uninvited, and his tone became a little more serious, "The Seventh Prince's good intentions made Chen very popular, but this is Chen People's yard, if you want to renovate, you have to ask Mr. Chen first."

Li Zhiyuan saw his anger, and his raised lips slowly flattened. He reflected, "It was my lack of thoughtfulness that made Brother Chen angry. It's just that I have been running around collecting saplings and flower seeds for the past two days, but now It’s a pity to throw it away.”

Chen Jingyu's heart moved, and he looked at Li Zhiyuan in disbelief—so, Li Zhiyuan didn't come here these two days, just to collect flowers and trees for his courtyard?

Seeing that Chen Jingyu's expression was loose, Li Zhiyuan quickly took advantage of the victory to pursue him, pretending to show his palm to Chen Jingyu, "In order to choose the best flowers and trees for Brother Chen, I personally inspected every sapling. Look, this palm My injury was scratched by some unscrupulous tree, and my feet came out of blisters after walking for two days, and the pain was severe."

Chen Jingyu followed his gaze down, and really saw fine new scratches on Li Zhiyuan's palm, he was at a loss for words for a moment, and couldn't say any more words of reproach.

"If Brother Chen really doesn't like it, I'll take them away now."

After all, Li Zhiyuan made a gesture to leave.

After some hesitation, Chen Jingyu stopped him, "Seventh Prince..."

Li Zhiyuan didn't have the heart to correct his title now, but just looked at him with drooping eyes.

"It's all here," Chen Jingyu was extremely awkward, thinking that it would be extremely difficult for him to bother others, and he spoke slowly, "Then trouble the Seventh Prince."

Li Zhiyuan was overjoyed, the corners of his lips flew to the sky, he pushed Chen Jingyu into the room with a smile, and muttered, "No trouble no trouble, I am very happy, you just wait."

When Chen Jingyu walked into the room, he realized that Li Zhiyuan had been playing outside every day, how could he get blisters on the soles of his feet in just two days, he was obviously trying to deceive him, he wanted to ask Li Zhiyuan for an explanation, turned around, but saw By the time Li Zhiyuan had joined the tree planting team, the sun was shining on him, and even his black hair was stained with light and shadow.

The majestic Seventh Prince of the Southern Dynasty actually worked as a gardener for him. I'm afraid it would be ridiculous to say this.

But what was in front of Chen Jingyu was indeed like this—I saw Li Zhiyuan rolled up his sleeves, tied them up with white strips, picked up a shovel and worked hard to renovate the old soil. After a while, his purple shirt was stained. There was a thin layer of crystal clear sweat on the smooth forehead.

Xu Shi caught a glimpse of Chen Jingyu from the corner of his eye. He raised his head and wiped the sweat off his face. Because his hands were stained with dirt, his white left cheek turned black. Chen Jingyu couldn't help but , with downcast eyes and a silent laugh.

"Brother Chen, it's very sunny outside, you can go inside and rest, don't worry, there will be no mistakes here with me."

Chen Jingyu laughed enough, took another look, and then moved away slowly.

No one ever did anything for him.

But it was just a relationship between two sides, Li Zhiyuan actually did this for him.

There was an indescribable feeling in his heart, he was touched, but more of it was doubt.

What is Li Zhiyuan planning for doing this?

He didn't know at that time that all Li Zhiyuan did was to draw a man named Chen Jingyu.
