Jing Ke stared at the long apple peel in trance for a long time, and finally a smile broke out on his handsome face as he looked at Du Suxi.
"Why did you come to see me today?"
"Ah, this." Du Suxi laughed dryly, never expecting that Jing Ke would suddenly ask him so directly. I was thinking about how to speak.
After all, this is a matter of asking for help. Where does she have such experience
Jing Ke suddenly laughed out loud.
"I'm still worried. If you really die, who will sell me those wonderful drawings? What will I, Jinxiufang, do in the future?"
"..." The smile on Du Suxi's face froze. He glared at Jing Ke and said bitterly.
"As expected, there is no business without treachery."
"Thanks for the compliment."
The two of them were joking, and they were getting closer without realizing it. Jing Ke took a breath, sat up straight, and raised his eyebrows at Du Suxi.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Ahem, I came here today because I want to ask for your help. Help me join the queue and rush to make a piece of clothing."
"Is it because of the Flower Festival?"
Jing Ke raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Suxi with a half-smile.
He still remembered how beautiful Du Suxi looked in red that day.
When the moon is closed and the flowers are shy, the fish sinks and the geese fall.
Du Suxi nodded.
She was not good at asking for help, but she never thought that Jing Ke could see through her little thoughts and say everything she wanted to say on her own behalf. It saves me a lot of worry.
He glanced at Jing Ke gratefully. Du Suxi emphasized.
"Don't worry, I'll pay double your wages and I will never let you suffer any losses."
Jing Ke refused to comment and looked at Du Suxi intently. He suddenly spoke and said something that seemed irrelevant.
"It seems that you are living well these days? But, why did you become like this?"
What he was referring to was Du Suxi's masculine attire.
Du Suxi coughed and blushed rarely. Spread your hands.
"The Du family can't go back. Du Suxi is dead, so I had no choice but to make this decision."
She said it straightforwardly and cheerfully.
Jing Ke's lips moved and his smile grew wider.
"Do you believe me so much? Tell me everything
Did you know that if you were not dead, you would be running away from your marriage? How dare you run away from marriage given by the Holy Spirit? Du Suxi. Did you know that this was a major crime against the Nine Clans? Do you know? I can capture you and send you to Huang Du's house to receive a generous reward? After all, I am a businessman. "
Du Suxi squinted her eyes, but her expression showed no signs of panic. He looked at Jing Ke intently and said with a smile.
"I believe you and won't do this."
Jing Ke raised his eyebrows.
"how?"
Du Suxi calmly took a sip of tea.
"Young master is a smart man. He should naturally know that Du Suxi has died of illness. This is an unchangeable fact. She has died of illness. The Du family has buried Du Suxi in the Du family cemetery."
"So, if I say that Du Suxi is not dead, will I be dishonoring the Du family? The Du family will never let me go from now on? Du Suxi, you are a woman with evil thoughts. If you tell me this, I'm afraid it will be If you want to drag me out of the muddy water, let me join you in the trouble."
Jing Ke blamed Du Suxi, but there was a smile of appreciation in the corner of his eyes.
This Du Suxi is a sensible person. She actually knew how to manipulate people so much, but she underestimated her.
Du Suxi nodded. There seemed to be clouds surging between his eyebrows, and he was very confident.
"Now that Young Master has understood, let me get straight to the point. I will definitely win this Hundred Flowers Festival."
"The girl is very ambitious."
Du Suxi glanced at Jing Ke. Said in a shallow voice.
"Each other."
Jing Ke glanced at Du Suxi. sighed.
"How can you compete in the competition when you look like this?"
Du Suxi raised her eyebrows. Qiao smiled.
"I wonder if you have ever heard of Moshang Xiangfang?"
"Moshang Xiangfang? Have you been hiding there these days?"
Jing Ke looked at Du Suxi in surprise, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Du Suxi nodded slowly.
"Unfortunately, I happen to know Mrs. Guan Shile there. She is very nice to me, and I also intend to help her. The person participating in the Hundred Flowers Festival is Miss Jingwei."
He only talks about his bottom line when meeting people. Although he is a good friend with Jing Ke, Du Suxi knows how to use discretion, and knows how to keep only half of what he says, and does not reveal all his details to others.
To borrow a phrase from her master.
There are too many people in this world who hide their swords behind their smiles. If you don't protect yourself well, you may end up in a miserable state.
"Miss Du is a person who values friendship." Jing Ke looked at Du Suxi and suddenly said angrily. He continued.
"I just wonder if you will forget my old friend if you become rich?"
Naturally, he was joking, trying to test Du Suxi.
Du Suxi smiled lightly.
"If the young master doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to make a connection and let the young master buy a share and get a share of the pie."
"Oh? I'm impressed that the girl is so kind." Jing Ke looked at Du Suxi and continued teasing.
"I still remember the first time I met the girl. She said everything and was very intimidating. I didn't expect her temperament to change drastically today. It was indeed the situation that forced her to do so. She was not lenient at all."
This Jing Ke is a very good judge of people!
Du Suxi secretly gritted her teeth, as if biting an insect called Jing Ke. There was a bang and it felt very crisp.
She thought for a while, sighed helplessly, and said straight to the point.
"Sure enough, the young master is very thoughtful. Now that he has become a shareholder of Mo Shang Xiang Fang, he has to worry about Mo Shang Xiang Fang. Now, Mo Shang Xiang Fang is just a piece of cake in everyone's eyes, no matter what Everyone wants a piece of the pie, so as a businessman, don’t you understand the principle of gaining wealth through danger?”
"Miss Du is becoming more and more eloquent." Jing Ke looked at Du Suxi and said with a half-smile.
Du Suxi lowered her eyes, a trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes, and said.
"If the young master is not willing, I don't want to force it. Today's matter can be regarded as troublesome to the young master. Within seven days, I will definitely get clothes that satisfy me. Please take care of the young master."
Du Suxi put down the drawings she brought and was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped by Jing Ke.
"The girl left in a hurry. It's true to say that wealth and honor can be found in danger. Wealth and honor can be found in danger. Please sit down and tell me, how do you seek wealth and honor in danger?"
"So, you agreed?" Du Suxi never expected that Jing Ke would be so easy to talk to. She originally planned to bring Murong Fu to visit Jing Ke in person. Never thought that it would be done this time
Jing Ke helplessly spread his hands and looked at Du Suxi. Sigh.
"How dare Jing Ke not respond to what Miss Du means? After all, Jing Ke has not married yet. If Miss Du gets angry and reveals my hidden illness, causing uproar in the city, won't I end up alone?"
She finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. Reach out and hit him. He spoke.
"You are quite interesting."
Unexpectedly, Jing Ke grabbed her slender hand, his eyes shining like the sun.
His voice became deeper.
"If I cooperate with Mo Shang Xiangfang, can I ask the girl to help solve my marriage?"
Du Suxi didn't understand what he meant and still smiled naively.
"Okay, I agree. Although there are many girls in Moshang Xiangfang who have a low status, they are really good-natured. Whichever one you like, I will decide and give it to you."
Jing Ke looked at her for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.
"I don't want anything else, just the most useless one. When I looked at Miss Du, I thought, it's very good."
He said, very good.
He said. He looked at her very well.
Du Suxi was stunned for a moment and looked at Jing Ke stupidly.
Jing Ke didn't urge her, he just looked at her quietly. As if waiting for her answer.
Du Suxi was silent for a while. Only then did he react slowly. He hurriedly broke away from Jing Ke's hand and forced a smile. said awkwardly.
"You, what are you doing? Why are you making fun of me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Jing Ke lowered his head, and Du Suxi couldn't see his emotions clearly. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly nodded again. A smile with unknown meaning.
"I was just joking. I just scared the girl."
Oh, it turned out to be a joke.
Du Suxi took a long breath. Pretend to be fierce.
"If you are telling me such a joke, I will tell you about your quirks from now on."
Jing Ke smiled slightly. Look at Du Suxi.
"It is true that women have the most poisonous hearts."
Du Suxi raised her eyebrows slightly. But she didn't continue. Xu felt a little embarrassed. She stood up and carefully put down the drawings she brought.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. If you're free, just come to Moshang Xiangfang to find me."
This is to leave politely.
Jing Ke nodded.
"be safe."
Du Suxi thought for a moment, turned around, and showed a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm not that weak."
She turned around and left very coolly.
Jing Ke sat quietly on the stone bench
Above, the evening breeze was blowing, bringing with it a slight chill.
The sky gradually became dark.
He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed, but he coughed up a few drops of blood. He tightened his handkerchief hastily.
Hidden behind, like this, I have never seen it.
"Sir, why did you come out today?"
An old monk came from a distance and looked at Jing Ke kindly.
The monk is dressed in yellow robes, has white eyebrows and white beard, and has kind eyebrows, like a master of Taoism.
Jing Ke bowed to the monk very politely. explained.
"It's too stuffy in the house. Come out for some fresh air. I'll go back in a while."
The monk lowered his eyebrows and stared at Jing Ke for a long time. Wei Ran sighed.
"I heard that the young master has a guest today. The young master seems to value this guest very much?"
Jing Ke was silent for a while. He looked up at the flaming clouds in the sky.
"It's an old friend. I never thought of visiting today."
"Since we are old friends, how can we be so intimidating and force the young master to come out of the house to meet each other? This is really nonsense."
The old monk's rare tone became a little more serious.
Jing Ke explained awkwardly.
"She has something important to do."
"That's all. Master, have you ever remembered why you wanted to escape into Buddhism in the first place?"
The old monk suddenly spoke up.
Jing Ke paused, and a rare awkward smile appeared on his face.
"When I was young, I just felt that I had nothing left to live with, but Master, you refused to accept me."
The old monk nodded.
"Buddha said, if there is nothing, it's not that I don't accept you, but that your six roots are not exhausted. Your identity is destined that you will not remain empty in Buddhism. You should dominate yourself in this world or elsewhere. fate."
"Is it identity again? Master, Jing Ke only remembers that Jing Ke is just an orphan. He has forgotten everything else."
The old monk suddenly smiled. He took a step closer and looked at Jing Ke carefully. Suddenly said.
"If I were to ask you now, would you still be willing to follow me back home, pay homage to the ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern, and end my remaining life?"
Jing Ke was silent for a long time this time, stood up, and suddenly knelt down in front of the old monk, with determination in his eyes.
"Thank you Master for your kindness in raising me over the years. It's just that Jing Ke already has something in this world that he can't let go of."
The old monk's eyebrows remained calm.
"Who is it? Can you tell this poor monk?"
"It's a woman." Jing Ke answered honestly and then continued.
"She is a strange woman."
The old monk looked at the kneeling man quietly. Suddenly he leaned down and picked up Jing Ke.
"The poor monk came here to say goodbye to the young master."
Jing Ke had a look of surprise on his face. He hurriedly grabbed the old monk's clothes and asked urgent and confused questions.
"Why did master leave? Did Jing Ke do something wrong to make master unhappy? Master, Jing Ke made a mistake. I promise to listen to master in the future."
The old monk smiled.
"Why leave? Why stay? If you have me in your heart, I will be there. If you don't have me in your heart, I will not stay. Everything is caused by cause and effect. If you and I are destined, we will meet each other."
"Master..." Jing Ke wanted to say something to persuade him to stay, but for a long time he found that he was speechless.
The old monk had already turned his back. Like muttering to himself.
"The old monk is old and can no longer teach you anything. This world belongs to you. Cherish what you have. If you like that girl, go for it."
Jing Ke knelt down towards the old monk's back with a bang and kowtowed three times. Then he raised his head and looked at the standing figure in yellow.
"Master's kindness in teaching for many years will be remembered by the disciple. If it were not for the master, Jing Ke would be dead. At this time, the master left in a hurry and the disciple did not serve, which is unfilial. The master tried so hard to save the disciple's life, but the disciple has not repaid him yet. That is unfilial. Righteousness, if you watch Master leave this time, it is disloyal. If you live such an unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous life, how can Jing Ke face the world? How should Jing Ke behave?"
The old monk suddenly laughed.
"God has the virtue of reviving you. Since God has destined me to save you, it is fate. Now that fate is over, it is a destiny. Why do you bother to persevere? If you feel guilty in your heart, in the future, do more for the people of Liming. Some good deeds. It’s a repayment for the poor monk.”
After the old monk finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving only his increasingly blurry figure swallowed up by the night.
It took a long time for Jing Ke to stand up.
"Ye Jing, please obey your master's orders!"
In fact, he has always known who his parents are. His mother is Ye Liumei, who once doted on the Sixth Palace. His father is the most noble man in the world. However, he cannot recognize each other and dare not recognize each other. "
