Chapter 192 Panic

Sishi was supposed to be the time when the sun was turning white, but at some point or other, clouds arose, drifted slowly, and floated over to cover the sun and cast a shade.In the empty field of the government office, Xia Chu and Jiang Xiyuan stood opposite each other, half a step away, Jiang Xiyuan looked at Xia Chu, but Xia Chu lowered his head.

It was quiet for a long time, until the small piece of cloud floated away again, and the sun scorched Xia Chu's neck without hesitation, then she squinted her eyes and raised her head, wanting to say something to break the ambiguous and A little awkward atmosphere.

Before Xia Chu could speak, Jiang Xiyuan turned around and walked forward slowly.Xia Chu hesitated whether to follow, but heard Jiang Xiyuan say: "The emperor will get married in the future, and after the wedding, I will go to the Imperial College."

"Guozijian?" Xia Chu rushed two steps to his side, "What are you going to do?"

"Fifth Grade Doctor." Jiang Xiyuan looked at the front and said softly: "Although the matter is over, the soldiers have moved after all. To impeach me, there are many memorials to impeach the Jiang family, which is considered a light punishment."

Xia Chu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what he meant, and couldn't help feeling tense, and said anxiously: "My lord, do you mean that you are leaving the government office? Are you going to be transferred?"

"Yes." Jiang Xiyuan nodded, and smiled at her sideways, "The emperor arranged for Yao Zhiyuan to succeed Jing Zhaoyin. He is a courtier of the Qingliu school. He is not young and a bit old-fashioned, but he is still straightforward."

Jiang Xiyuan said before that he would not stay in this position forever, and Xia Chu was worried about it, but after all, he had only been Jing Zhaoyin for a few months, and she thought that even if he was transferred, it would be at least a year or two later.Who would have thought that such a thing would happen without wind and waves, just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard such news, the mood that had just been relieved was instantly blocked and sank.

"If the Jiang family's soldiers hadn't arrived in time that day, I don't know what would have happened. Even if there is no merit, there should be no fault. Why doesn't the emperor show any kindness?" Xia Chu said a little bit angrily.

"It's not what you think. Sometimes officials' ups and downs have nothing to do with right or wrong." Jiang Xiyuan said.

After Jiang Xiyuan said this, Xia Chu couldn't say anything more, after all, she didn't understand the court affairs.Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Xiyuan comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much, just do things, just like before."

How can it be the same?Xia Chu thought.She lowered her head, watched her feet slowly stepping on the gray bricks step by step, and said after a long silence, "I'm afraid I can't do it well."

"You've been doing great."

"I mean..." Xia Chu sighed, looked up at Jiang Xiyuan, and then turned away, "I'm afraid I can't do it well by myself."

Jiang Xiyuan bent his lips and smiled, but he was not happy or happy, "The post of a doctor is much easier than that of Jing Zhaoyin, you can come to me for anything, go to the Imperial College, go to my house, go to the General's Mansion, as long as you want to go to me .”

Xia Chu turned his head slightly, but didn't dare to meet Jiang Xiyuan's gaze, "Is there no room for change?"

"Let's not talk about this." He shook his head and sighed lightly, stopped, and changed his tone of voice: "Take a rest tomorrow, you should make time for it."

Xia Chu was still depressed by the news that Jiang Xiyuan was about to leave the government office, and he didn't react immediately.

"Sleep a little longer tomorrow, and I'll look for you after Chen Shi." Jiang Xiyuan patted her on the back, "Go and do your work first, I have something to deal with here before I leave office." After finishing speaking, he didn't ask Xia Chu any more Or the opportunity to object, walked away quickly.

Xia Chu stood on the spot and opened his mouth to call him, but in the end he still didn't make a sound, watching him go farther and farther, and finally disappeared at the turning, Jiang Xiyuan never looked back.

She hesitated for a while with a heavy heart, and then slowly walked to the police room.

Xia Chu clearly felt that Jiang Xiyuan was in a bad mood, as if something was weighing on his heart, and he lost his previous briskness.It's just that she doesn't know whether this concern is related to herself, or to the affairs of the court, or both.

And Xia Chu was also in a bad mood, and it was only when Jiang Xiyuan's resignation as Jing Zhaoyin was confirmed and close in front of her eyes that she truly and truly felt the emptiness in her heart.From strangers to acquaintances, from acquaintance to familiarity, most of her time and experiences when she came here were related to Jiang Xiyuan.

But suddenly Jiang Xiyuan wanted to withdraw from her life, and he was caught off guard and came too fast.

It felt a bit like being forced to move out of the house I've lived in for years.She had finished tidying up her belongings and emptied out the furniture. The familiar plants, trees, bricks and tiles, and even the scratches painted on the wall inadvertently made her nostalgic and sad.Even a little want to cry.

She didn't want Jiang Xiyuan to leave, this feeling was very strong.But she couldn't stay, there was nothing she could do.

The next day, I woke up early in the early summer.

She had a dream, dreaming that she waited at home for a whole day and Jiang Xiyuan didn't come to her, so she went to the government office, to the general's mansion, to his house in Dunyifang, to the planting flower shop, but every time People everywhere told her that there was no such person as Jiang Xiyuan in Xijing.

She didn't believe it, she shouted, she said it was impossible.But no one paid any attention to her.The surroundings suddenly turned into an endless wilderness, overgrown with wild grass, and she stood in the midst of the barrenness.

There is no road underfoot.She didn't know where she came from and where she could go.

Waking up to find that it was just dawn, Xia Chuzhi was relieved to know that he was dreaming.Sitting on the bed in a daze, she thought about today, and after tomorrow's big wedding, Jiang Xiyuan would leave the mansion, her mood gradually sank, and the loneliness and bewilderment in her dream seemed to become real.

Jiang Xiyuan, on the other hand, had almost no sleep all night. He closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while when the birdsong sounded. He got up, packed his clothes, went to the cabinet and opened the drawer, and took out the fan that hadn't been sent out.

With the fan unfolded in his hand, it looks like a lifetime away.

After watching silently for a while, he put the fan back into the brocade box, held it in his hand and went out the door.

When he arrived at Anfengfang, he asked the coachman to wait for him at the entrance of the alley, and walked slowly into the alley by himself.As soon as he walked to the gate of Xia Chu's courtyard, he saw the door was gently opened a crack.

Xia Chu poked her head out to look around, and saw Jiang Xiyuan standing at her door, she was startled, and subconsciously slammed the door shut again.After closing it, I felt something was wrong, so I hurriedly opened it again, and smiled embarrassedly at Jiang Xiyuan, "Master, you are here."

"How did you see that I closed the door instead?"

"I was taken aback. I didn't expect to see you." She wiped the sweat from her palms, feeling quite embarrassed.Jiang Xiyuan seemed to understand her thoughts, and said with a smile, "Are you in a hurry?"

"No, no, just... Just take a look, I didn't expect such a coincidence." Xia Chu lowered his head and touched his nose, then quickly turned away: "Master, you are looking for me today, do you want to take me out? Or come to my house and sit for a while of?"

"Go out." Jiang Xiyuan took out the brocade box behind him and handed it to her, "But you put this away first."

"What is it?" Xia Chu said while taking it in his hand, let the courtyard door open and walked in, saw that the box looked familiar, and asked, "Is this the box in the police room last time?"

"Yes." Jiang Xiyuan closed the door and followed her in, "It was originally a birthday present for you, but you stubbornly refused to open it, so I took it back in a fit of anger."

Thinking of that incident at the beginning of Xia, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Giving gifts is a good thing, but you give them like you want to eat people, my lord. Who is to blame?"

Jiang Xiyuan smiled, "It doesn't seem like you want to eat people, but you really want to eat people. Open it and see if you like it."

Xia Chu put the box on the table, opened the button to look, was a little surprised, took out the fan and looked at Jiang Xiyuan, "Is it also a fan?"

"Yes, it's a pity that the one you gave me is now lying in a mess in my drawer. I still don't know what it looks like, so I can only guess."

"Originally I was going to give another one, but I forgot about it one after another. I will make it up some other day." Xia Chu opened the fan, and saw a refreshing light green, boating on the flat lake, and the willows are like silk. I understood what Jiang Xiyuan meant by giving this fan.So he pursed his lips and smiled: "Chu Xia, Xia Chu. My lord is really caring, I like it very much. This picture is very cool just looking at it."

"As long as you like it." Jiang Xiyuan said, silently: "If you have a heart, it's not as good as Mr. Huang's share."

When Xia Chu heard him mention Mr. Huang, his smile faded slightly, and he closed the fan little by little, "It's not that I don't want to mention it."

Jiang Xiyuan smiled without comment, stood up, "Let's go."

"Where?"

"Yuan Pingshan."

"Yuan Pingshan?" Xia Chu turned his head and thought for a while, "Is it that immortal concept that your lord mentioned? There is a fat Taoist priest who looks like a liar?"

Jiang Xiyuan smiled lightly and nodded, "I was talking nonsense, Taoist Xuan is not a liar."

Xia Chu looked at Jiang Xiyuan and saw that although he was smiling, the smile seemed to be only on his face but not in his eyes at all.She wanted to ask him what was on his mind, but she didn't know how to speak, so Jiang Xiyuan turned his head and looked over while thinking about it, and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Are you unhappy, sir? I..., can I help? If there is anything I can do, please tell me."

"Yeah." Jiang Xiyuan was silent for a moment, "Yes, if you want to hear it."

"Shouldn't you tell me now?"

"Don't worry, let's go first." Jiang Xiyuan pointed to the fan in her hand, "Use it, okay?"

Xia Chu hurriedly nodded, went back to the room and turned out the fan case he bought from Wing Embroidery Chun, carefully stuffed it in, and hung it on his waist.The two went out together and got into the car. After Jiang Xiyuan told the driver where to go, he brought out some snacks for Xia Chu to pad her stomach.

After eating two yuan in early Xia, he suddenly felt that the car was too quiet. Looking sideways, he saw Jiang Xiyuan was leaning against the wall of the car and looking out the window. Although his eyes were focused, he was obviously distracted. He didn't know what he was thinking about. .

The car drove along the street, leaving houses and big trees behind, and the sun was flickering and flickering, which also outlined his expression in an erratic way.

Chu Xia was not used to Jiang Xiyuan like this.In her perception, Jiang Xiyuan is always cheerful and sunny, always smiling, as if nothing in this world can hinder him, and he is not afraid of anything.Now I don't know what major event happened to make such Jiang Xiyuan have such a demeanor, which made her very uneasy.

She put down the snack in her hand and asked softly, "My lord, what are you thinking?"

Only then did Jiang Xiyuan come back to his senses, and smiled apologetically, "It's nothing, just a little distracted. Have you eaten?"

Xia Chu nodded. Seeing that Jiang Xiyuan still didn't want to talk about his thoughts, he had no choice but to find a topic and said, "Why do you want to go to Yuanping Mountain all of a sudden? Do you want to go to the Taoist temple?"

"Yes, go to Xianyu Temple."

"Want to go divination? Or..."

"Probably." Jiang Xiyuan closed his eyes slightly and was silent for a moment, then turned to her and said, "Go and find out about your future."
