Chapter 291
When dealing with friends, Jiang Xi has always been generous and generous.
For example, when I was treating a guest at Guichun Tower this time, Jiang Xi decided to apologize to Chu Ji and decided to do it as much as possible. She simply booked a whole floor of Guichun Tower. It happened that there were not many guests at noon, and she was going to the best floor with the scenery.
The carriage arrived at Guichun Tower, and Jiang Xi had been here many times, so he was familiar with it.
Chu Ji was behind him, and the snow-white fox fur meandered across the stairs.
He suddenly paused and looked back at Atractylodes.
Atractylodes understand the mind and turn around and leave in a hurry.
He was a few steps behind and quickly caught up with Jiang Xi, so that Jiang Xi didn't even know the small episode in the middle.
It has been winter recently, and families with backgrounds all pay attention to not eating from time to time. Guichunlou, which pursues top ingredients, has also changed the menu in winter. It once amazed Jiang Xi's summer food lotus fish bag and autumn crab stuffed orange can't be eaten, but there are also many new ones on the menu-
For example, crispy yellow alone, steamed sheep in cups, golden jade soup, fragrant mountain, crispy bone fish, fried kumquats in honey, etc.
Jiang Xi was not lenient when he got up, and he ordered a lot of places.
After ordering, she told the shopkeeper not to rush to serve the food, and she had to wait for someone.
"Anyway, Ye Zheng is here soon, so we don't rush to eat, so we just sit and chat and wait for him." Jiang Xi suggested to Chu Ji.
Chu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, but nodded to Jiang Xi without showing emotion.
"Ah, by the way, I have forgotten to ask you something, we were in that... um, did we get some benefits in the underground palace? How do you feel in your body? Do you need my aunt to help you see?" Jiang Xi was worried, don't make Chu Ji's already fragile body weaker.
"Don't worry, it should be beneficial to me and even the cold poison in my body is somewhat relieved."
Jiang Xi was naturally overjoyed and said he wanted to solve Chu Ji's cold and poison problem as soon as possible.
"...In fact, Mr. Lou Chen has this ability. When I asked her, she said that the cold poison has been rooted in the body for many years and it has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. It takes a lot of effort to remove it, including a few rare medicinal herbs. If found, she can help you detoxify!"
The method Jiang Xi said was actually a witch doctor's method.
Originally, with the current policy of joining the world by Jiang clan, witch doctors could use ordinary medical skills to outsiders, but they were not allowed to use witch doctor skills. However, Jiang Xi regarded Chu Jizhenxin as a friend and did not want to see him continue to torture by cold poison, so he asked Lou Chen specifically and obtained her consent.
Chu Ji didn't expect that Jiang Xi was still thinking about his cold poison, and something strange appeared in his heart.
But he quickly suppressed it.
"No hurry, I'm used to it."
Chu Ji's plain tone made Jiang Xi feel sad.
Since he was still in his infancy, he grew up intact until now, and he was afraid he suffered a lot.
She deliberately turned her head, not wanting Chu Ji to see her expression - the least thing that people in trouble need is probably the sympathy of others.
She also deliberately found another topic: "Didn't Ye Zheng say that he will come soon? Why haven't he arrived yet!"
As he asked, he stretched his neck and looked out.
Chu Ji calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Jiang Xi didn't expect that when she said casually, Ye Zheng... he really didn't come!
Half an hour later, he sent someone to say that if there was something happening in the Ministry of Justice, he would probably not be able to come.
"It seems that he has no such good fortune. Let's eat it!" Jiang Xi said regretfully.
But she didn't see the faint smile hidden in Chu Ji's eyes.
As soon as Jiang Xi ordered, the kitchen that had been prepared long ago brought the banquet of running water and prepared the best osmanthus wine. This osmanthus wine is also a unique wine in Guichunlou. It can only taste the most authentic taste in the cold winter, and even Chu Ji praised it.
Halfway through the meal, the shopkeeper specially invited a new top singer from Pingkangfang next door to present a song to the two distinguished guests.
A beautiful prostitute who was Tingting and Niao Niao walked out from behind the curtain. She had a charming figure, but her face was pure. The eyes of the deer who was ignorant and her shy behavior were like a perfect combination of a girl and a woman. No wonder the shopkeeper said that this Mingyue lady quickly became a hot top brand in just two months after appearing in Pingkangfang.
After Mingyue walked in, she did not look at Chu Ji, who was proudly looking at him, but focused on Jiang Xi first.
To be precise, the purpose of her coming seemed to be for Jiang Xi.
"Do you know me?" Jiang Xi put down the wine glass and asked her with ease.
Mingyue timidly put her chin away: "I have heard of Jiang Jiulang's name."
"oh?"
She looked at Jiang Xi carefully for a few glances before plucking up the courage and said, "...I heard your name and specifically asked to come?"
Jiang Xi touched his nose awkwardly.
There is no way to be charming.
"I like your poems very much, and I deliberately adapted them into songs, but I think it was not good to change, which insulted your masterpiece." Mingyue said as she said, Bai Xi Shengxue's cheeks were also dyed with a faint cherry pink color, and her eyes were even more watery.
Although she was talking about a clumsy work, she looked at her expectant eyes and hoped that Jiang Xi, the "original author", could listen to the song she wrote.
Jiang Xi didn't think anything was wrong, so he nodded happily and said, "Then listen!"
Mingyue lady laughed happily, and didn't care about Chu Ji's attitude. After sitting down on the stool, she held the pipa and sang quietly, singing in a low voice, as cold as frost reflecting the cool moonlight.
What she sang was the song "Ask the Moon with Wine".
When Jiang Xi heard this, he was so amazed.
This...is this a clumsy work?
The exquisite and smooth pipa sound and the cold fairy-like voice are simply a wonderful combination!
As Jiang Xi listened, he couldn't help but talk to the tune and gently tap the rhythm, and indulged in the wonderful music of immortal music.
Compared to Jiang Xi's addiction, Chu Ji is much more rational.
He didn't even look at the beautiful Mingyue lady, but instead, his eyebrows were thick and thick, like a rock pressing heavily on his heart.
He couldn't describe what it felt.
It's just heavy, it's just dull.
He glanced at Jiang Xi without any reason, and saw a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, which seemed to emit a soft light from head to toe... Chu Ji couldn't help but frown. Is Jiang Jiu very fond of attracting bees and butterflies?
After waiting for a while, the play of Mingyue's wife was over.
Jiang Xi smiled with his palm: "Excellent! Excellent!"
Mingyue laughed excitedly and joyfully because of Jiang Xi's praise.
Chu Ji, who was beside him, raised his hand and took a sip of wine.
But I suddenly choked by the alcohol, coughed continuously, and my face became even more flushed.
Even Mingyue couldn't help but look at Chu Ji for two more times—
When this beautiful Chu family man with a beautiful appearance was as white as a jade man, his face was flushed, and he was really shocked.
After accidentally watching for a long time, Mingyue, who realized that it was inappropriate, lowered her head in a hurry.
Chu Ji seemed to dislike being stared at by others and frowned tightly.
When Jiang Xi handed Chu Ji tea to care about him, he naturally did not miss his expression at this moment.
She remembered that Chu Ji didn't like others' overly caring about his appearance, so she probably guessed what he was thinking and said apologetically to Mingyue that she would come to her to listen to music next time, so she would have to trouble her to go out first today.
——Compared to a singing girl, she certainly has to care about her friend Chu Ji’s feelings first.
"I just heard one song, and I feel a little regretful today." Chu Ji pressed his chest and drank two sips of warm tea. "That singer just now is really admiring you!"
"Just worship my 'poetry'." She smiled.
After all, poetry is not her ability, and she doesn’t have much feeling about Mingyue’s admiration for Jiang Xi.
Chu Ji seemed to ask casually: "Do you plan to go to Pingkangfang in the future?"
After Chu Ji said this, Jiang Xi remembered the incident at Xianlingyuan.
The atmosphere was inexplicably suppressed, and it also dispelled Jiang Xi's thoughts.
"Forget it, I still won't go. I can always think of some bad things in Pingkangfang." Jiang Xi's face was deep, and he was very displeased when he had not found out who the person who practiced evil skills was.
Chu Ji's lips deepened a little: "Beautiful music is not as good as fine wine. How about tasting this osmanthus wine?"
"Very good!"
The two sat in Guichunlou for most of the afternoon. Both of them were drunk and the moon plate outside the building had already jumped to the branches.
"Oh, it's almost curfew, it's time to go back."
When he was happy, he actually forgot the time. Jiang Xi quickly got up and prepared to clean up and go home.
Chu Ji sat cross-legged on the railing, looked back and said leisurely to Jiang Xi:
"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, how about rafting on the lake?"
"Rafting?" Jiang Xi was intrigued.
"Well, you invite me to eat Guichunlou and I invite you to drink with Qujiangchi. How about it?"
Of course, Jiang Xi wanted to go: "But it's close to curfew..."
"Don't you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it!"
If Chu Ji is so sure, he will definitely be sure.
Jiang Xi followed Chu Ji onto the carriage with a staggering pace and changed the road. The carriage of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion drove by on the streets behind the curfew, and no one dared to stop it.
Jiang Xi almost fell asleep against the wall of the car. After she swayed for a while, Qujiangchi had arrived.
"Wake up, Qujiangchi has arrived."
Jiang Xi was pushed by Chu Ji, rubbed his sleepy eyes and climbed out of the carriage. When he saw the scenery under the moon, he didn't even feel sleepy.
If the Qujiang Pool, which is noisy and lively and brightly lit, is a kind of wealth and honor in the mortal world on earth, then the quiet and clear Qujiang Pool is a kind of extraordinary beauty beyond the world.
