clean

Ji Wanghuai was a little dazed, but he quickly came to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "I have never done it before, the state banquet was also the first time I came to Chengguo."

Seeing his calm expression, Si He suddenly thought of what Ji Wanghuai once said, that he only believed one-third of what the world said.Even thinking about Ji Wang, he gradually began to feel uncertain.

"Young Master Si," Yu Jiang untied the gauze for Si He, seeing the three-inch-long opening, he was also a little apprehensive for a while, "This knife mark looks like it was made with enough strength."

Ji Wanghuai was just standing aside with his hands behind his back, but when he heard Yu Jiang speak, he took a step forward indistinctly, and only then did he really see Si He's wound.

Above the flat and smooth lower abdomen, a three-inch-long gash tore through the flesh, and the blood was not wiped clean, which looked a bit hideous. Although the wound was covered with a layer of incense ash and ointment, just looking at it felt painful to the marrow of the bone.

Ji Wanghuai pursed his lips, looking at Si He's expression became complicated, and he admired Si He a little more in his heart.If a generation of loyal officials were like this, he would not be surprised, but if Si He did this, he would think that this person has a bright future.

"Uh..." Seeing that Ji Wanghuai looked at him with admiration and sympathy, Si He immediately understood - it seemed that Ji Wanghuai had misunderstood him, so should he explain the truth again.

He was so planning, but Xiao Lushui interrupted him, "Brother Xiaohe, I can help you sew up the wound, but I can't do it today." After he finished speaking, he looked at Si He apologetically, grabbed the hem of his clothes and said: "I haven't had a good rest in the past few days. I came here as soon as I arrived in Chengguo this morning. I... I have no energy..."

"Little Tong'er, is what you said true?" Mrs. Si originally led the servants to change Si He's medicine. Upon hearing this, she hurried into the room and knelt down to support Xiao Lushui's shoulders, "Little Tong'er , can you heal He'er's wound? Don't make jokes."

Ji Wanghuai saw that it was Mrs. Si, but also thought that this woman had never seen him before, and didn't know his identity, so he put down the hand that was about to put on the hood.

His petty actions were noticed by Si He, and Si He felt a little uncomfortable, Ji Wanghuai was also a prince after all, but Qiguo Chengguo had always had conflicts, in fact, he didn't use it for unnecessary trouble.

"Mother, little dew can indeed heal my wound," Si He paused, and said, "I also want to thank Mr. Ji and the others, but the journey is far away, I would like to ask them to rest at home for a day before leaving."

"It's natural," Mrs. Si didn't think there was anything wrong with a child being able to heal a disease. If her son said it was true, then it was indeed true. "These three are your friends, of course we should treat them well."

After finishing speaking, he looked back at Ji Wanghuai and the others enthusiastically, and asked: "This young master is..."

"My surname is Ji, and my name is Wanghuai." Ji Wanghuai smiled lightly, his eyes were as gentle as water, and he bowed his hands and said, "Thank you Madam for your hospitality."

Mrs. Si is a person who can't be idle, she secretly looked at Ji Wanghuai, and secretly praised him.At first glance, this Mr. Ji has a very good family style, he is quite well-bred in his behavior, he is handsome and handsome, and he has a good-looking manner.This is much more pleasing to the eye than Si He's friends, He'er, you should spend more time with these children.

For Ji Wanghuai, the more she looked at it, the more she was satisfied, so she hurriedly dispatched people to tidy up a few side rooms and came out for the three of them to live in, and took two maids to take care of them.

Si He was a little amused, but it was inconvenient to speak, so he gently tugged at Ji Wanghuai's sleeve. Ji Wanghuai felt Si He's small movements, and thought that Si He had something to say to him, so he bent down and looked at him. :"What's wrong?"

He suddenly got so close, Si He only felt that if he moved closer, he could touch the tip of his nose, he could even clearly see his own reflection in Ji Wanghuai's eyes, Si He licked the corner of his mouth, He said pitifully, "Well...can you do me a favor?"

"Tell me." Seeing his pitiful appearance, Ji Wanghuai felt amused in his heart, which reminded him of a Pekingese dog that was raised in the palace when he was a child.

"Could you help me...to buy a candied haws at the West Night Market..." Si He said a little embarrassedly, "My mother said that I have grown up and won't let me eat these. The taste in my mouth has not tasted these days, so I just want to Eat some candied hawthorn."

Ji Wanghuai was stunned, and laughed dumbly.

Si He is a 17-year-old boy, and he still looks like a child, but he couldn't resist Si He's expectant eyes, so he had no choice but to agree: "OK"

"By the way, if you have something interesting, buy some!" Si He hastily added, seeing that Ji Wanghuai couldn't laugh or cry, as if afraid of Ji Wanghuai's repentance, he put his hands together and said: "Brother Wanghuai, pity your big brother Bar."

……

It was the time when the lights in Mocheng first came on, and the night market was just opening, so everything was just right.Vendors lined up on the long street, shouting one after another, and street lamps came on one after another, making it extremely lively.

Ji Wanghuai seldom visited the night market. Although he often went out of the palace, he still had important things to do. Now that he was so leisurely, he didn't remember a few times.

"Master, where do we go to buy candied gourds for Mr. Si?" Yu Jiang had a frowning face. This Chengguo was not familiar with the place, and Mr. Si didn't know the specifics.

"Candied haws are not a rare item, look slowly, and you will always find them." Ji Wanghuai remembered Si He's instructions in his heart, although he was chatting with Yu Jiang face to face, his eyes still glanced at the vendors on the left and right.

Strange to say, none of the candied haws stalls that can be seen everywhere on weekdays have been seen.

"Then why don't you buy some pastries and go back," Yu Jiang said kindly, "Anyway, Mr. Si just wants to eat some appetizing candies. I just saw that the pastries sold by the little lady are quite pleasing in appearance."

"Candied haws are candied haws, not sugar slag balls, nor hawthorn slices." Ji Wanghuai imitated Si He's tone and said, then shook his head with a light smile, "He has a sharp tongue, and he doesn't want to argue with him, so he just goes along with it." He agrees."

The two stopped and stopped all the way, and after about half an hour, they found a little old man selling candied haws next to a restaurant. Ji Wanghuai hesitated for a while, and bought two or three bunches, thinking that buying more is better than less Buy something good.

……

Lu Yu was originally invited by Marquis Renbo to have a banquet at the Zuixi Building on Changjie.He opened the door curtain and got out of the carriage, and saw a man wearing a fur collar cloak next to him, he felt a little weird in his heart, so he couldn't help but take another look.

Ji Wanghuai bought candied haws and was about to leave, but when he felt that someone was secretly looking at him, he stopped smiling, looked back coldly, and met the eyes of a man in brocade clothes.

Seeing that the other party didn't dodge, but just looked back straight, Lu Yu's heart was still a little tight, but he quickly felt extremely surprised, isn't this person the second prince of Qiguo, what did he come to Chengguo for!

While Lu Yu was surprised, Ji Wanghuai raised his eyebrows secretly, he never thought that he could meet the prince of Chengguo even if he bought candied haws.He had heard some rumors about the four princes from Si He before, and he only had a glimpse of them at the state banquet, which didn't leave much impression on him.

From this point of view, the expressions of joy and anger, the four princes may not be very calm, but that's all.

"Let's go." He said casually, turned around and waved his sleeve robe. He didn't know whether he was speaking to Yu Jiang or Lu Yu, but he just took the paper bag and left without hesitation.

Seeing the two leaving so calmly, as if they had already figured out the street layout of Chengguo, Lu Yu didn't know how to react for a while, but seeing that the second prince bought it just now, it seemed to be candied haws?

But Ji Wanghuai's other end is——

"Master, we seem to have taken a wrong path..." Yu Jiang swallowed, wondering, "But I remember that we seem to be on this path, why is it wrong?"

"Forget it, go and ask for directions." Ji Wanghuai felt a little funny in his heart, and felt that his actions today were a little childish. Taking advantage of Yu Jiang's time to ask for directions, he saw an old woman next to him trying to pinch her. He recalled what Si He had told him before he left.

This person should be regarded as a fun little thing.

He handed over three copper coins, "Old man, can you pinch a villain?"

"Of course!" The old woman smiled kindly, "Young Master, what kind of villain do you want?"

Ji Wanghuai frowned and thought for a while, then described: "He is born fair and clean, has a delicate appearance, is dressed in luxury, has peach blossom eyes, is good at painting, and usually smiles with his eyes curved like crescent moons."

When the old woman heard this, she also smiled: "From what you said, you are really a wonderful person."

"But it's a pity," Ji Wanghuai also smiled and regretted, "He is a man."

……

When Ji Wanghuai and Yu Jiang returned to Sifu, an hour had passed since they left.After the boy led them into Si He's house, he wanted to report to Mrs. Si and Mrs. Si, but was stopped by Si He, "Father must be dealing with business in the study right now, so there is no need to disturb him for such a trivial matter."

He didn't want his father to know Ji Wanghuai's identity, anyway, his father was not interested in his friends, let alone visit other courtyards just to meet his friends.

Seeing that the boy had left, Si He lazily leaned against the wall and said, "Little Lushui has already gone to rest, so it's too late for you guys to come back."

"It's not to buy candied haws for Master Si," Yu Jiang muttered, "I haven't seen a place that sells candied haws for most of the day."

When Si He heard this, his expectant eyes darkened again, but he still pretended to be indifferent and said: "It's okay, in fact, it's okay not to eat candied haws, candied balls, and hawthorn slices."

——I just feel a little sad in my heart.

"I know you're not feeling well," Ji Wanghuai handed over the hand behind his back, sighed and said, "I bought two or three skewers, enough for you to eat."

"You bought it?!" Si He snatched it in surprise and pulled it to the wound. He grinned from the pain, but he still untied the paper bag with great interest. He didn't expect that there was a small paper bag next to the candied haws.

"What is this?" He picked up the small paper bag and looked around, and asked curiously, "Did you buy other things?"

"Didn't you tell me to buy another fun gadget?" Ji Wanghuai saw his happy appearance, like a three or four-year-old child, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Si He slowly opened it, and saw two palm-sized small-faced men, one with a handsome face, richly dressed, holding a picture scroll in his forehand, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

And the other, wearing a fur-collared cloak, with untied black hair, has a sharp eyebrow and eyes.

"Are these the two of us?" Si He smiled, his brows and eyes curved, and he lifted up the villain who looked like Ji Wanghuai to look left and right, "You even bought one for yourself."

"This is from her," Ji Wanghuai felt helpless, he only planned to buy one at first, but he didn't expect the old lady to make another one for him.

"It looks good." Si He stared at it for a long time, couldn't put it down, thought for a while, then handed his little man to Ji Wanghuai, "You take this."

"Why?" Ji Wanghuai didn't understand Si He's actions for a while, he looked left and right at the small face figure that Si He handed over, he didn't look at it carefully just now, but now it really looks a bit similar.

"This is reciprocity," Si He explained: "You take mine and I take yours. Otherwise, what's the point of looking at a dummy that is exactly like yourself every day? Why don't we exchange it? If I forget you You can take it out from time to time to see what it looks like."

Ji Wanghuai couldn't agree with him, so he carefully wrapped the paper and handed it to Yu Jiang to keep it.

"It's a good thing you didn't buy candied haws and hawthorn slices." Si He took a bite of the candied haws, the corners of his mouth were full of crumbs, he was satisfied immediately, and began to babble: "Candied haws are just candied haws, nothing can replace it. Just For example, if someone wants to replace you, Ji Wanghuai, no one with the surname Ji, no one with the same name, no one who looks like you, no one with your personality, because Ji Wanghuai is unique.”

"Hahaha," Ji Wanghuai was finally amused by him: "Why do you think such a mess."

With Si He around, no matter how boring the situation is, he can quietly resolve it.

"I'm done eating." Si He wrapped another bunch of candied haws in candy paper, carefully placed it next to the pillow, pulled a piece of silk as a cover, and handed the last bunch of candied haws to Ji Wanghuai, "You too Take a bite, it's delicious, I swear."

"..." Ji Wanghuai looked at the bunch of candied haws with an elusive expression, "I won't eat the candied haws..."

"It's really delicious," Si He said persuasively, as if tricking a child, "Take a bite, this candied haws is sweet but not greasy, and it doesn't stick to your teeth. It's sweet and sour, delicious in the world."

"By the way," Ji Wanghuai was afraid that Si He's next step would be to stuff the candied haws into his mouth, so he quickly changed the subject, "When I was buying candied haws just now, I met a man."

"Who? Do I know him?"

"Your Highness, Lu Yu."

……

At the same time, in the study of the Si mansion, Mr. Si questioned: "You mean, three friends of He'er came to the mansion?"

"Yes," Mrs. Si was rubbing ink for him, and said with a smile, "I saw one of the young gentlemen with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary bearing, and I heard He'er said that they came from a long journey, so I asked my servants to tidy up the two rooms. , let them stay for one night and leave tomorrow."

"Oh, I guess it's just friends from the rivers and lakes that He'er made." Master Si flipped through the scroll, and didn't care about these friends of Si He, so he just asked casually: "What is the name of that young man with an extraordinary bearing in your mouth?" name?"

"Call—" Mrs. Si thought for a while and said, "He said his surname is Ji."

Surname Ji?Lord Si frowned, this is Qi Guo's surname.
