Miss Zhang Er came and went in a hurry.

The horse named "Zao Zao" breathed out its breath like a white arrow and flew away carrying the fiery red figure.

She Dengke listened to the distant sound of horse hooves, looked around at everyone and asked in astonishment: "How can she be so arrogant?"

The hospital was quiet, and no one answered his questions.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Quxing sighed: "Except for the Liu family and the Prince Jing's Palace, there really is no more arrogant master in the entire Luo City than the Zhang family."

She Dengke said angrily: "But the princess is not like her. I think the princess is very good. She never bullies others or puts on airs. The lintel of the palace must be better than the Xu family behind her mother, right?"

The prince leaned an elbow on the counter and suddenly said with a meaningful smile: "I, the lintel of Ningchao vassal, may not be as high as the Xu family. In this three-acre land of Luo City, the prince's palace has to cooperate with Liu in everything.

We came to discuss it. Although the three aristocratic families in the north, Qi, Chen, and Hu, and the three aristocratic families in the south, Liu, Xu, and Yang, did not deal with each other, they always had the same spirit when facing the imperial power."

He continued: "My father wanted to calculate the cement formula before, but as soon as Chen Ji said he would take the formula back to the Chen family, my father immediately relented. Why? It's not because if the cement formula falls into the hands of the Chen family, even Prince Jing's palace

Or don’t come back.”

She Dengke's eyes widened: "No matter how powerful the family is, can they still compete with the imperial court for things?"

The prince smiled and said: "In their eyes, they are the imperial court..."

"Stop it," Old Man Yao looked sideways at the Crown Prince: "Is this what I, the old man, should hear? Do you think you can't stand that I live to be ninety-two years old, so you plan to give me a ride?"

The prince said sarcastically: "I won't say any more."

At this time, Bai Li walked to the opposite side of the mahogany counter and stared at Chen Ji on the opposite side: "Aren't you angry? She said that about you, why do you act like nothing is wrong?"

Chen Ji didn't answer, but took the chessboard and chess basket, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

He had just taken two steps when he saw Bai Li standing on tiptoes, holding Chen Ji's arm across the counter and pulling Chen Ji back: "I'm talking to you, don't leave!"

Chen Ji stood helplessly and asked with a smile: "Did the princess say that she looked down on me?"

Bai Li said seriously: "She has never understood you at all, so why should she say that you are not as good as Chen Wenzong? Anyway, she is wrong to say that."

Chen Ji asked back: "The princess wants me to prove myself to her?"

Bai Li thought for a while: "At least let her know that you are no worse than Chen Wenzong."

Chen Ji smiled and said, "What then?"

"Um?"

Chen Ji said: "Then she found out that this marriage was actually not bad, so she happily accepted the marriage. When the time comes, Mr. Zhang will learn from others to catch his son-in-law and force me to go to consummate the marriage. After we get married, we will want to be together again.

Going out to drink is no longer an option, I have to learn needlework at home."

Bai Li was startled: "Ah? Then... let's say goodbye then."

At this time, Liu Quxing asked: "Miss Zhang Er didn't recognize the princess and the prince just now. Haven't you met them?"

The prince explained: "In my impression, Mr. Zhang came to Luo City for the twenty-seventh year of Jianing. He did not bring his family with him at that time. It seems that he only brought his family over before the Lantern Festival last year. Bai Li and I had already gone there at that time.

I went to Donglin Academy. Have you heard of Miss Zhang Er, and what is she like?"

Liu Quxing muttered: "I have only seen her twice, and each time she galloped wildly in the city, shocking passers-by and giving way. She seems to be good at equestrian skills, but I have never heard of her hitting passers-by on horseback."

Liang Maoer said at the side: "I heard about her when my brother and I went drinking. It is said that the eldest son of the Liu family liked her. The Liu family sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, but Master Zhang declined. Not only the Liu family admired her

There are quite a few literati here."

Bai Li muttered: "I don't know where these people's eyes are, so why do they admire her?"

The prince laughed happily and said: "Second Miss Zhang is handsome and is Lord Zhang's favorite daughter. Naturally, people will flock to her. If a nobleman from a poor family marries her, he will save thirty years of detours."

Bai Li suddenly looked at Chen Ji: "Chen Ji, do you also think she is pretty?"

Chen Ji groaned: "I didn't look carefully."

Bai Li leaned on the counter, feeling suffocated.

The prince asked curiously: "Are you still angry?"

Bai Li said angrily: "When Zhang Xia was here just now, she was angry with me, but I was not angry with her. Now I have figured out how to refute her, but she has left!"

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

Bai Li turned around and walked out.

The prince quickly grabbed her: "Where are you going?"

Bai Li said angrily: "I'm going to find her and talk to her again!"

The prince didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't make trouble, everyone has gone far away."

He looked at Chen Ji and said with a smile: "In terms of family background, Miss Zhang Er is also a good choice. Maybe she just listened to the rumors and rushed to make an appointment because she didn't know you. But you know the horse power from a distance, and we will see each other with time.

People's hearts, she will get to know you again one day...don't you think about it anymore?"

Chen Ji smiled and said: "What you don't understand now, you don't have to understand in the future."

…

…

In the dead of night when people are quiet.

Chen Ji broke away from the dream and slowly opened his eyes.

He silently counted the snores, made sure everyone around him was asleep, and then stood up quietly.

However, as soon as Chen Ji opened the door, he saw old man Yao standing under the apricot tree with his hands behind his back, staring at the red cloth strips on the branches.

"Master? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Old Man Yao said calmly: "Why sleep for a long time during your lifetime? You must sleep forever after death. I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel that I can't see enough of the scenery in this world."

Chen Ji was startled: "You are still strong."

Old Man Yao sneered: "I said, I want to see more of this world before you tire me to death."

Chen Ji: "..."

Old Yao turned around and looked at him: "Playing the role of the head of the Military Intelligence Department of the Jing Dynasty in front of the Liu family is like walking on the tip of a knife. The slightest mistake will be doomed."

"You know everything?"

Old Man Yao asked: "What are your plans?"

Chen Ji was startled.

An old man and a young man stood under the apricot tree and looked at each other.

Chen Ji recalled that when he first came to this world, he slowly walked along the bluestone road behind his master. He wanted to say something urgently, but the old man avoided danger and didn't want to hear anything.

But now, the old man took the initiative to ask.

Chen Ji smiled and said, "You would never take the initiative to ask about these things before."

Old Yao was also startled, and then said angrily: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Don't make it seem like I care about you. I'm just worried about being implicated by you!"

Chen Ji thought for a moment and finally said: "It's better not to tell you."

Old Man Yao sneered: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, so you can take care of yourself."

Chen Ji changed the subject: "Master, where's Uncle Crow? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"It went out to get some shelter from the limelight."

Chen Ji asked again: "What about the dark cloud? I didn't see it today."

"It also went out to avoid the limelight."

Chen Ji: "?"

Is this a courtyard of outlaws?

Chen Ji wondered: "What did Wu Yun do that he needed to go out to avoid the limelight?"

Old Yao turned around and walked slowly back to the main house: "If you want to find it, walk one mile east along Anxi Street and turn into the alley next to Chaiji Grain and Oil Shop. It should be there tonight. As for why it is there,

Shelter from the limelight, you’ll understand it when you see it.”

Chen Ji walked outside and walked eastward along Anxi Street under the moonlight.

But just halfway through the journey, he suddenly heard extremely light footsteps coming from behind.

Chen Ji suddenly turned around and saw that the long bluestone road behind him was like a transparent tunnel. As far as the eye could see, there was no one there!

In the long street and in the moonlight, only the thin old man stood looking back.

open.

In an instant, the hairs on the back of the neck stood up.

He recalled the story of Shanhua's ghost money, and thought of the Liu family's unmanned carriage with no wind and no reins...

On the bluestone road, there seemed to be an invisible shadow clinging to his back, like a tarsal maggot, wrapped in endless black resentment and chilling to the bone.

Was he being targeted by the old beggar man named ‘Zhang Guoer’? How did he find Taiping Medical Center?

No, it shouldn't be Shan Hua Gui Qian, Shan Hua Gui Qian drives things, there shouldn't be any footsteps.
