After Duan Mingchong left, Sui Yan slept in bed for a long time, only to be woken up by the movement of Jun Jingxing back.
It was freezing cold outside, Jun Jingxing's cheeks were flushed from the cold, and he roasted beside the charcoal basin for a while before entering the inner room.
He hung the bead curtains on both sides and said casually, "Good luck for the new year—the front yard of the Hou Mansion is now full of congratulations. Is this the first time your brother has received this? I saw him getting dizzy from a distance."
Sui Yan was lying on the edge of the bed and languishing: "In the past, only when I was in the house, few people came to celebrate the New Year on the first day of the new year. Why did they all stick to it when my brother came back?"
Jun Jingxing said: "Didn't you hear that your brother has taken over the Ministry of War now? Naturally, some people want to come over to flatter him. By the way, I also saw a bald monk who stood out in the crowd."
Sui Yan half-opened his eyes and planned to squint for a while. Hearing the words, he said "oh" and said nothing.
But soon, he suddenly woke up as if he had just reacted: "Monk?"
Jun Jing walked over and touched his forehead, and said, "Yeah, it seems to be an eminent monk from Xiangguo Temple, why, you don't know him?"
Sui Yan knew each other, but he didn't know what Geng Xue chose to do at the Hou residence at this time.
Noticing that Sui Yan did not continue to have fever, Jun Jingxing sat down and said, "Give me your hand."
Sui Yan frowned and handed him his hand. After thinking about it, he asked, "Where is the monk now?"
Jun Jingxing said: "I'm talking to your brother in the front yard - this wrench on your hand is good, who gave it?"
Sui Yan was still thinking about Gengxue, and said absently, "The prince sent it."
Jun Jingxing gave an expressionless "Oh", immediately smothered the topic in the bud, and continued to explore the pulse.
Sui Yan pondered for a long time, Jun Jingxing had finished exploring the pulse, and then he lowered his eyes and looked at the wrench on his finger.
Jun Jingxing looked at him dumbfounded and said, "What's wrong?"
Sui Yan stared at the wrench for a long time without blinking his eyes, and then he suddenly took a deep breath as if he remembered something.
"A token of love."
"Do you not like it?"
"like."
Sui Yan was stunned for a long time, and then he threw himself on the pillow and buried his head deeply.
It was too early at that time, he fell asleep in a daze, talking and doing things were simply beyond his head, and now he wakes up and reacts.
It was rare for Duan Mingchong to take the initiative, but he missed it because of the sleepy bug.
Sui Yan bit the pillow sullenly, as if she wanted to suffocate herself to death.
Jun Jingxing said: "Hey, what's the matter, are you sick again?"
Sui Yan held the wrench on his fingers and said weakly, "If I fall ill again, I'll be the first to bite you to death—bring me the new set of clothes that I sent a few days ago. The front of the clothes has a gold edge."
Jun Jingxing didn't know why, but he was used to being instructed by Sui Yan, so he rummaged in the closet without much resistance and found the dress.
"Are you going out?"
Sui Yan took the clothes and nodded.
Jun Jing Xing frowned: "You are not yet fully ill, and it is so cold outside, are you dying?"
Suiyan said: "I just went out to the front yard to meet the master of Xiangguo Temple. I will be back soon after a few steps."
As he spoke, he put on his clothes on his own, and when he was about to get out of bed, his legs became weak, and he almost fell directly to the ground.
Jun Jingxing quickly helped him with his eyes and hands, and said angrily, "I can't bear this great gift for the New Year's Eve."
Sui Yan clings to his arm, props himself up through gritted teeth, and says, "My legs..."
Jun Jingxing helped him to sit firmly on the bed, pressed his leg casually with one knee, and said, "It's okay, you've been sick for so long, it's normal that you won't be able to adapt for a while, and you'll get better by walking more."
Sui Yan frowned: "I won't be lame, will I?"
Jun Jingxing said unceremoniously: "It's beautiful to think about, if you are really lame, then you can't toss everyone in the Death Marquis Mansion? Don't think about such a good thing."
Sui Yan: "…"
Sui Yan Xu was completely convinced, and did not speak any more. He was supported by Jun Jingxing and walked around the inner room with difficulty for two laps, and then he was barely able to walk.
Jun Jingxing tentatively let go of his hand and said, "Are you sure you want to go out like this? If you meet someone and then give them a big gift, your brother is not going to strip you."
Sui Yan put on an ink-colored cloak, pulled up the wide hood over his head, and a small bulge was pushed up by the hair crown, which looked a bit funny.
Jun Jingxing tilted his head to hold back a smile.
In order to save his life, Sui Yan didn't care whether it was ugly or not, and he held a small stove before walking out the door.
Jun Jingxing followed behind him to prevent his feet from slipping before kneeling and bowing.
The snow outside still hadn't melted much. Fortunately, the sky was clear and the air was clear. Sui Yan had not been out for several days. He breathed out a small breath when he walked out.
Jun Jingxing said: "Is it cold?"
Sui Yan almost wore it into a ball and shook his head: "It's okay."
The two of them walked slowly along the hand porch of the side courtyard to the front yard. Before they reached the front hall, they saw Jiang En and a long body in a dark red robe standing beside him. Jiang Ning rarely wore big sleeves decorated with peony— However, although the clothes were luxurious, only a rough mahogany hairpin was inserted into her bun.
Jiang Enhe was talking with Jiang Ning, and she was taking her to recognize all kinds of people. At this time, he was dizzy, and when he caught sight of Sui Yan coming over, he immediately regained his energy and said, "Second sister, I forgot to come back, and I asked him to reminisce about the old days. went."
Jiang Ning frowned, glanced at Sui Yan who was walking down the steps not far away, and said, "Isn't he still ill, why did he go out in such a cold day, does Sui Xun care about him?"
Gann and He He could take care of this, and almost jumped on the spot: "Sister, forget to go home!"
Jiang Ning said: "Go, he is not in good health, so don't play with him."
Gann He hurriedly said, "Yes!"
Jiang Ning let him go.
As soon as Sui Yan came down the steps, Jiang Enhe rushed over as if he had found his relatives in a foreign country.
"Forget to go home!"
Sui Yan said, "Stop him."
Gannhe rushed over to take his shoulders, but Jun Jingxing on the side blocked him coldly, and directly avoided Gannhe's restless claws.
Sui Yan tilted his head and coughed, and said, "Don't move your hands or feet."
Only then did Jiang Enhe react, seeing Sui Yan's ill face, and hurriedly said, "Are you okay? Didn't you mean that you were still ill, why did you come out to drink the northwest wind, or did you come to pick me up specifically? That's too much. Excuse me."
Suiyan said, "Do you want me to throw Xue over your face to wake you up?"
Gannhe: "… "
Jiang Enhe glared at him, then looked at Jun Jingxing who was standing still, frowning and said, "Have I seen you somewhere? I always think you look familiar."
The corners of Jun Jingxing's lips twitched, probably recalling the embarrassing thing that he was called "beautiful" by this hairy boy in Wanhualou back then, his face was disheveled, and he said, "How many times have I said it, you admit your mistake? people."
Gann and thoughtful: "Really?"
Fortunately, he was not someone who was going to get to the bottom of it, so he didn't continue to ask questions when he saw Jun Jingxing's denial.
Sui Yan said: "Did the Houfu come to a master from Xiangguo Temple today, do you know where he is now?"
Jiang Enhe said: "You said that Master Gengxue, just now went to the study with General Suixun. I don't know what we were talking about. What are you doing with him?"
Suiyan said: "Children, don't ask this kind of thing."
Gannhe exploded: "Who's a kid?!"
Sui Yan ignored him and staggered towards the study.
Gan Enhe didn't want to go back to Jiang Ning to entertain all kinds of people, so he followed Sui Yan to the study.
Suixun and Gengxue didn't know what they were talking about, but there were two personal guards guarding the entrance of the study.
Sui Yan walked up the steps and was about to push the door to go in, but was stopped by two people.
These two people are probably Sui Xun's personal guards in the army, and each of them is fierce and cruel, very ruthless: "The general has an order, and no one is allowed to enter."
Sui Yan said, "Am I not good enough?"
"Yes."
Sui Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What if I insist on breaking through?"
The two were stunned for a moment, as if they did not expect this young master to play cards so unreasonably, but soon one of them said: "The military order is difficult to violate, then I will forgive my subordinates for being disrespectful to the prince."
Sui Yan laughed, but didn't push hard any more, but suddenly raised his voice: "Brother, brother, help!"
Guard: "..."
Afterwards, Jun Jingxing and Gan Enhe: "..."
Soon, the study was opened from the outside, Sui Xun came out frowning, looked at Sui Yan, and said, "Why did you come out? Are you feeling better?"
Sui Yan nodded, probed into the probe, and said, "I heard that Master Gengxue is here. I discussed Buddhism with Master at Xiangguo Temple before, so I wanted to say hello, didn't I bother you?"
He called for help directly like this, even if it bothered him completely, Sui Xun glanced at him angrily before bringing the three in.
Hot tea was brewed on the small table in the study. Master Geng Xue was dressed in a monk's robe, with Buddha beads wrapped around his wrists, sipping tea with his eyes lowered slightly.
He didn't feel surprised when he saw Sui Yan coming over, nodding his head in a salute, and said with a smile, "Master Hou is well."
Suiyan said: "Thanks to the master, I'm not very well."
Geng Xue: "… "
Suixun frowned and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Sui Yan tilted his head and whispered, "Did he want you to draw lots?"
Suixun: "What?"
Suiyan said: "Don't draw his lottery, it's not a good sign if you draw it right."
Suixun: "..."
Geng Xue: "… "
Rao is even more snow and no waves in the ancient well, and for a while, he was a little helpless.
"Don't worry, Marquis, the poor monk doesn't carry the lottery with him, you need to worry too much."
Sui Yan suddenly looked at him with some fear: "Then you have this idea?"
Geng Xue: "… "
Geng Xue said with a smile: "Master Hou, do you remember the last time I signed for you at Xiangguo Temple?"
Everyone was a little silent, Xindao, this master looked shrewd, and the topic was changed so bluntly.
Sui Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I don't believe you, it's not allowed at all."
He has now expressed his intentions with Duan Mingchong, and Duan Mingchong has also responded to him. The two have the same heart, how can it be said that it is a serious risk
But even with that said, Sui Yan was still a little worried, because things went so smoothly that he almost panicked.
He bluffed and looked at Gengxue.
After a while, Geng Xue smiled: "Master Hou is transparent, but too much transparency is not a good thing."
Just as Sui Yan was about to say something else, Geng Xue stood up, nodded slightly towards Sui Xun, and said, "The poor monk has been harassing him for a long time, so he will leave first."
Suixun glanced at his brother dissatisfied, and said, "I will send the master."
Geng Xue smiled and was led out of the study by Suixun.
There was a charcoal basin in the study room for warmth. Sui Yan sat on the soft couch, looking down at the vague water stains on the table.
Jun Jingxing said: "You asked him to draw a lottery? Is it a lottery?"
Sui Yan nodded with a dish.
Jun Jingxing said: "Then do you believe it or not? Did you tell the prince about this? As far as I know, the prince seems to believe in things like gods and Buddhas."
Suiyan said, "I haven't told it yet, because I don't think it's right."
Gan Enhe was blank: "Ah? What? What is the signing? What does it have to do with the prince?"
Jun Jingxing said: "Don't rejoice too early. The status of the prince is too special. Even if he has that kind of mind, the emperor will not allow it. Haven't you thought about how it will end in the future?"
Suiyan also thought about this kind of thing, and the frown became tighter and tighter: "Then what do you want me to do, tell him directly that the Taoist monk at Xiangguo Temple once calculated a fortune for the two of us, saying that we have no fate and we will not end in a good life. ?"
Gan Enhe: "What? Ah? What? What are you talking about? Prince! What's wrong with Prince?"
Jun Jingxing said: "It's not a solution for you to hide it, do you really have to wait until the day when you two completely break up before believing this?"
Sui Yan said coldly, "We will not break up."
Gan Enhe: "Prince! What's wrong with the prince!? You take care of me!"
He roared unbearably, and Jun Jingxing and Sui Yan looked at him in unison.
Gann He looked at them and said, "What happened to the prince? What are you talking about?"
Sui Yan and Jun Jingxing: "Why are you still here?"
Gannhe: "… "
