Theism

On the seventh day, Chu Xingsi came to Qi Zisui's study.

"Xingsi." Qi Zisui sat on the chair, stroking a picture on the table with his fingers, his expression was full of nostalgia and reluctance.

"Huh?" Chu Xingsi stood upright in front of the table, and glanced at the painting on the table. In the painting was a woman in a pink dress.

She looks quite young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, standing still, gentle and magnificent, it is the portrait of Chu Xingsi's mother.

"This is a portrait of your mother. It's been many years." Qi Zisui said, his thoughts drifted back to the past, "Since your mother married, she hasn't been able to come back a few times."

"If I had known at the beginning, I shouldn't have married her so far away." Qi Zi seemed a little regretful as he spoke.

Chu Xingsi stood still and didn't speak. At this time, he didn't know what to say, so he advised him to mourn?No, he himself is not such a sentimental person, let alone...

"Oh, it's too far away." Qi Zi babbled on and on, talking a lot, and he went a long way, seeing that Chu Xingsi didn't respond, so he stopped talking.

"Take this painting back and show it to your father. He must have never seen your mother when she was young." Qi Zi then said, put away the scroll, rearranged it and handed it to Chu thinking.

"Okay." Chu Xingsi took the picture scroll and responded. In fact, it is quite boring to listen to the elders recall and express their feelings, but after all, the elders still stand here honestly, with burning eyes and a serious face.

After closing the door, Chu Xingsi walked on the path back to the house, unfolded the picture scroll in his arms, and looked at it. She was indeed a beauty and a very gentle person.

She married 17-year-old Father Chu as her second wife at the age of 25. In fact, in her capacity as a fashion lady, it would be good to marry anyone in Jinghua, but there is no way, who told Father Chu to have Quan is rich and powerful, looks good, and has a decent personality, so she gets married.

Father Chu was lucky, his first wife was also from a wealthy local family, and she also gave birth to a son for Father Chu, Brother Chu.

Brother Chu, whose original name is Chu Jingci, has a gentle, thick and beautiful appearance, but he broke his leg while riding a horse not long ago, so he can only sit at home in a wheelchair and read a book for the time being.

However, Chu Xingsi took advantage of this time to spend a good time outside. In fact, the elder brother didn’t care much about him. The main thing was that the old man took care of him. However, Chu Xingsi felt that the elder brother looked more difficult than the old man. , after all, he always has a stern look.

Although he has a coveted beauty, he was dissuaded by his serious demeanor as soon as he saw him.

Chu Xingsi is actually not afraid of him, but Chu Jingci is five years older than him, plus Chu Xingsi has a gentle temperament, he always feels overwhelmed by him, and I don’t know if he is in a bad mood because of a broken leg. During the time he stayed at home, he always had a cold face.

After he left in a few days, Chu Jingci should come over. I don't know if I can see him in the end, so I should say something.

Chu Xingsi thought about it, and walked back to the yard without knowing it, as always, Mei Jing was waiting there, Chu Xingsi took a look at him and walked into the house, Mei Jing also went in together, and closed the door.

"It's for Father Chu." Chu Xingsi put the scroll on the table, and signaled Mei Jing to send the things to Father Chu.

The sixth day

Chu Xingsi went to Min Wangfu again.

Ning Yumo was still dealing with official duties, and Chu Xingsi didn't know why he had so many things going on every day, why every time he saw him he was reviewing papers, did the Criminal Department have so many things.

Chu Xingsi stood outside Mo Lanju's study in a blue shirt. This is an open study. Standing on the gravel road at the door, Chu Xingsi saw him at a glance.

He is wearing a blue-green dress today, but he is very simple on weekdays.

Chu Xingsi walked in, and the cyan outer clothes swayed with the white dress, blooming like a plain flower.

Chu Xingsi sat on the chair next to him very familiarly, poured himself a cup of tea, sipped the tea slowly, and looked at his study.

After waiting for a while, Ning Yumo started to clean up. Seeing this, Chu Xingsi also put down his tea, and couldn't help complaining: "When will I come to you, can you not let me wait?"

Every time he came to look for him, he would always make Chu Xingsi wait for a while, if he was not familiar with him before, it would be fine to give him a blow, why should he wait now.

"Well, I'm sorry," Ning Yumo was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, and then said very casually, "There are too many things, I even forgot you are here."

Ning Yumo was really helpless. In fact, every time Chu Xingsi came, he would think of finishing the matter at hand as soon as possible, and spend the rest of his time with him. He never thought that he would get bored of waiting.

Hearing what he said, Chu Xingsi was quite speechless. I can't arouse your attention at all here, right? Well, he's Buddha, and he won't remind you anymore.

Chu Xingsi twitched his lips and turned his head away from him, obviously not satisfied with his answer.

Seeing this, Ning Yumo thought for a while, walked towards him quickly, and stood in front of him, Chu Xingsi was startled by the sudden person in front of him: "What's wrong?"

But before Chu Xingsi finished speaking, Ning Yumo bent down, put one arm around his waist, and touched the back of Chu Xingsi's head with the other, then leaned over and kissed him.

Ning Yumo kissed calmly and restrainedly, yet revealed deep nostalgia and deep love.

He separated after a short kiss, and then hugged Chu Xingsi tightly, with his chin resting on his shoulder, and his cold and handsome face pressed against Chu Xingsi's white and warm slender neck.

"Sorry." Ning Yumo said again, "Forgive me, okay?"

When Chu Xingsi listened, he was so daring that he was speechless. He rolled his eyes generously, then pushed him away mercilessly, pulled his arm around him, and pushed him onto the chair next to him. .

Then he picked up the tea on the table with a little disgust, took a sip, it was greasy and crooked, making people feel a little uncomfortable, there are so many things going on every day.

Chu Xingsi swallowed a sip of tea, and the slightly bitter taste spread out in his mouth. After taking a breath, he took out something from his sleeve, put it on the coffee table between the two chairs, and pushed it over.

Ning Yumo glanced at it, it was a palm-sized white jade box with blooming lotus patterns carved on it, but he didn't reach out to take it, but asked: "What is this?"

"Good thing." Chu Xingsi said lightly, then walked up to him and opened the thing.

Ning Yumo looked over and found that inside the white jade box, there was a piece of brown cloth, and on the cloth lay a fat, white bug.

"This is?" Ning Yumo's body moved slightly, and for a moment he wanted to get up and run away, but he held back in the end, staring closely at the things in the box.

"Blood silkworm." Chu Xingsi said very calmly, "It's the thing you found in the Ministry of Punishment."

When Ning Yumo heard this, his eyes were a little subtle. He knew the feelings from the beginning, or maybe he was responsible for those messy things.

"Don't get excited, just listen to me." Chu Xingsi saw his eyes change slightly, and gave him a calm gesture, "Actually, I was studying that thing at that time, but for some reason, I let it out gone."

As for how it is revealed, it is no longer important, anyway, it is revealed.

"This thing is a little bit dangerous." Chu Xingsi compared it to him while talking, "This thing is divided into mother Gu and child Gu. The child Gu parasitizes in the human body and will not reproduce, and it will not riot in daily life."

"Only when the mother Gu is threatened or the state changes, the child Gu will expand rapidly, absorb the blood of the human body, cocoon and spin silk." Chu Xingsi said, pointing to the brown silk handkerchief in the jade box.

Ning Yumo looked at it, and after a closer look, he found that this plain cloth was densely textured, pearly in color, soft and tough.

"The silk produced by this blood silkworm is thinner than that produced by ordinary mulberry silkworms, but it is tougher, and the pearly luster is also higher." Chu Xingsi saw him looking at the piece of cloth, and cared for him He explained, "However, this kind of silk is not easy to dye. The original silk is the same white as ordinary silk."

Ning Yumo didn't know what to think about this blood-fed silkworm, but Chu Xingsi was very calm and didn't think there was anything wrong with this method of raising silkworms.

Ning Yumo didn't say anything when he heard what he said, but he held his hand without hesitation, signaling him not to worry about his own opinion.

Chu Xingsi smiled, his brows and eyes curved, and then continued: "The most useful thing is actually the mother Gu."

"This blood silkworm mother Gu is a good thing for healing." Chu Xingsi pointed to the fat worm lying obediently in the box, "But this one is not very good, and the effect is not so good."

The real blood silkworm mother Gu was boiled from a young age, so small, how can it be like the fat white one in the box, it feels like it can only eat, drink and sleep.

"This Gu doesn't need to parasitize the human body, it can be kept directly in the box." Chu Xingsi looked at the Gu, and said lightly, "But it's almost ready, after feeding it today, feed it every three days, and repeat it again. , it’s almost done.”

"Is this for me?" Ning Yumo looked at the fat and white bug and thought for a while.

"Yes, I'm here today to take your blood to feed and let him recognize the master." Chu Xingsi nodded, not caring what Ning Yumo thought of this evil thing.

"What do I need to do?" Ning Yumo was silent, didn't ask any more questions, but spoke directly.

"Just sit there." Chu Xingsi saw that he accepted it well, stood up, and walked to his things.

Then he took out a roll of silver needles from his sleeve, pulled out one of them, raised Ning Yumo's jaw, and slowly touched his earlobe, staring at that place with concentration.

"First of all, what needs to be taken is the blood between the ears." Chu Xingsi said, and the silver needle in his hand quickly poked towards his earlobe.

He didn't greet him first, all he wanted was a surprise.
