Chapter 51
Su Jiu muttered to himself, unable to figure it out.Simply put down the soft pillow and turn over to sleep.

When I woke up, it was dark.

The aroma of food came from downstairs, as well as old man Su's ditties.

"Sister, you're awake, come down to eat." Xiao Shan raised his head from a pile of books, still holding the books in his hand, and tilted his head to look at her.

Su Jiu was unkempt, with eye feces still hanging from the corners of his eyes. After looking at his family members who were all fine, he felt relieved a lot, so he said with a smile, "I'm really hungry, what do you want to eat today? Hey, Xiao Shan, Have you found all your books?"

"I found it, sister, wash your hands and eat quickly, I'm hungry."

"Well, come here, it smells so good, what are you eating today?"

"It's all what you like to eat, come and eat." Aunt Su's family, who has always been reticent, waved to her.

Su Jiu was happy, and took her hand, "Mother, I love your craft the most. Hey, who is this person?"

Su Jiu pointed to the busy figure on the stove over there, and asked in surprise.

"Miss Su, are you awake? It's next Zhou Xiang, do you still remember?" Zhou Xiang's smiling mouth was a little big, causing his face to swell and hurt, and he gasped.

"Zhou Papa, what are you doing here?"

"Uh...Miss Su, next Zhouxiang."

"I know, I'm asking you, what are you doing here?"

"Sister, he was the one who delivered the books to me. He stopped Mr. Zhou for dinner on the way. He also helped you yesterday."

"Oh, is that so?" Su Jiu thought suspiciously for a moment. He didn't think he was there yesterday, but he appeared out of nowhere in the end, causing her to be surrounded for a while. Looking back now, it seems that he was performing a ceremony. Sometimes a person ran in, but he was detained before he could speak, and she didn't even have time to look back to find out what happened.

"Ah, let's stay for dinner. Thank you for your help yesterday. Oh, I'm so hungry." Su Jiu stretched his waist and sat at the dining table, only to see Zhou Xiang happily walking over with the cooked dishes.

"This……"

"Eat!" Old Man Su knocked on the table.

"Father, he is a guest, how can you do it. Hey, I'll come, Mr. Zhou, sit down."

"It's not a problem, hehe! I'll disturb you guys a lot in the future, please don't see outsiders, otherwise I don't know how to live here."

"You want to live in my house?" Su Jiu asked him in surprise, so he looked at the family who were immersed in eating, and finally set his sights on Xiao Shan who was eating without saying a word, "Xiao Shan, tell me, what is the reason?"

"Ah, sister, the food is delicious, try this." Going down the mountain, he randomly picked up a piece of meat and put it in the rice bowl in front of Su Jiu.

"Father, tell me."

"What are you calling, dead girl, eat."

"Oh, dad, did you agree to something?" Su Jiu still understood this dad, and his mouth was soft, especially his mouth was the most gluttonous.

"Hehe, Miss Su, I'm going to be bothering you for a few days at the mansion. Someone is waiting for a disturbance in the frontier. My father wants me to come here to patrol, but I can't set up camp like officers and soldiers, especially now that there is a prince in the frontier who ordered us not to go near the frontier. But this is related to the country, how can we let it go, we have no choice but to find a place nearby, go out to patrol at night, and rest at Miss Su's house during the day."

"Oh!" Su Jiu thought for a while and said, "Isn't this just to let you guys experience life, hehe, well, if you stay, you can stay, but my family's conditions are very poor, you can live with it?"

Zhou Xiang couldn't help but sneered, put his head down and put a grain of rice in his mouth, and chewed carefully, "Crack!" Let's just say it wasn't rice grains, but unwashed stones, which made his teeth hurt.Zhou Xiang reluctantly swallowed the chewed stones, swallowed hard, then raised his head and said to Su Jiu, "Hehe... I can still bear it."

Su Jiu had a good time, knowing that all these sons and brothers were Cheng Xi's father's position, and sought a high-ranking official position in the court. At best, it is called a son inheriting his father's career, but at worst, they are a group of idlers raised by the government. The second generation of officials.Especially since they were spoiled and spoiled since childhood, they have bad habits all over their bodies.Su Jiu felt that if he couldn't make it through tonight, he would have to pack up and leave.

The Su family lives on the hillside, where there are beautiful scenery, mountain springs, and fruits a little further up the hill.But the only bad thing is that it is especially cold here at night, and there are many mosquitoes. Guaranteed that after one night, Zhou Xiang will become a night snack for mosquitoes, and the big red envelope on his body is higher than the mountain peak.

After the meal, Zhou Xiang politely and enthusiastically helped Su's mother wash up, and he didn't forget to clean up the whole stove.

Su Jiu put his arms around his shoulders and leaned against the door. Seeing him cleaning the stove spotlessly clean, he couldn't help laughing, and pointed to the bed prepared for him over there, "You can sleep with my brother In his room, he also reads until late at night. He probably doesn’t fall asleep until you come back, so he won’t bother each other. But my brother’s room hasn’t been cleaned for a long time. Well, it just smells a little bit, but it’s clean. Do you think it is feasible?"

Zhou Xiang smiled slightly and nodded to Su Jiu without looking at it, "Very good, hehe!"

"Well, you go out to patrol by yourself at night, what are you patrolling?" Su Jiu asked him.

"It's not just me, but also some colleagues and the young masters in the city. Hehe, it's nothing serious. It's just to see if there are suspicious people. It's just going through the motions, and we won't be needed for the time being."

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm going back to my room. You can call me if you have anything to do. You can talk to Xiaoshan. But it's probably too much. He's obsessed with reading, so he doesn't care about anyone. I live upstairs. If you knock on the wooden boards, I will I heard it." Su Jiu pointed to the top of his head, signaling Zhou Xiang not to be polite.

Zhou Xiang was really rude, he laughed again at her, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Su, please."

"Well, rest, remember to add clothes at night, it's very cold here." Su Jiu left a message, smelling the old man Su's snoring, and went upstairs slowly step by step.

The wooden door was closed tightly, and Su Jiu once again fell into infinite silence. She didn't light a lamp, and there were only her pair of bright eyes in the dark room.

Looking at the dusty moonlight outside, Su Jiu didn't feel sleepy at all. Under the darkness, Nie Wuhuan's shadow once again jumped in front of her eyes. She waved the figure that was gradually becoming clear in front of her in annoyance, and muttered, "Why do you think of it again?" You came."

Su Jiu thinks it shouldn't be like this, at least he shouldn't be lonely and unbearably thinking of him in the dead of night. To Su Jiu, he is like a cloud in the sky. man of.

Even though she didn't have much hope for her future happiness, she couldn't just let herself marry a prince who had to have three wives and four concubines. For this reason, Su Jiu tried hard to forget this person's appearance, but Nie Wuhuan's shadow follows like a ghost, lingering, becoming clearer and clearer, his mind is full of Nie Wuhuan's image, every tiny movement of him is in front of his eyes.

Su Jiu got up suddenly, flipped over the quilt, and sat there sighing in boredom.

Simply get dressed and get out of bed.

At this time, insects chirped outside the window, and she put on her clothes and went out.

Bypassing the small narrow gate in the backyard, he entered a dark stone road, turned around the edge of the flowing stream, and stopped on an open stone road.

The shadow of the moon is like a hook, and a little bit of youth is like a cage of sand, penetrating a side of the silhouette. The slender and soft silhouette, the long figure is reflected in the rushing stream, taking away the night's sorrow like the wind.

Under the silent moon, the past is like naughty and uneasy seeds, quietly climbing into her heart, taking root and sprouting on the apex of her heart.

She closed her eyes, allowing the sparkling light to draw a little white in front of her eyes, and the misty and distant him in front of her, pierced deeply into the tip of her heart like a sharp knife, and the bitterness slowly climbed from her mouth, It filled the whole body in an instant, and the moist mist blinded the eyes, quickly filling the eyelids.

"Miss Su, why are you here?" Zhou Xiang looked at him in surprise.

She turned sideways slightly, inadvertently raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from under her eyelids, and buried her head deeply, "Zhou Xiang, are you out on patrol right now? Why are you the only one?"

"Ah, no, I really couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk, I didn't want to meet Miss Su."

"Oh!" Su Jiu replied in a daze.

Zhou Xiang stepped closer, taking advantage of the glare of the water and the faint moonlight, "Ah, I heard the sound of opening the door just now. I'm a little worried, so I followed here. Is Miss Su unhappy?"

Su Jiu turned his head and said softly with a strong nasal voice, "No."

"Uh, hehe, Miss Su, don't think about what happened yesterday. The Liu family can be regarded as evil with evil. Now that things have subsided, I heard that the Liu family is much more comfortable now. The eight-year-old Xiao Liuzi let all the servants go. Leaving a few maids to serve the old lady in the courtyard, he took two schoolboys to the imperial city, saying that he was going to study, and this is considered a good death."

"Well, I see. I heard Xiao Shan talk about this earlier."

"Miss Su, let's forget it after the matter is over. As for Qingbai... er... let those people talk about it, hehe, I heard that the prince came here specifically to find a girl, why didn't he go back with him?"

Su Jiu was startled, looked at him sideways, and said after a moment of silence, "Your Highness is a noble person, and I'm just a commoner, not to mention that I'm not from the same place as him."

"This...Miss Su, it's better to think carefully about it according to my subordinates."

"..." Su Jiu was stunned for a moment, why did he suddenly feel that this person was here to intercede for Nie Wuhuan, so his tone of voice was a little stiff, "What does it have to do with you?!" to go.

"Hey, Miss Su, don't worry, don't blame me, I just don't want Miss Su to be so sad, and I don't have any other intentions."

"Hey, I'm sorry, there have been too many things recently, and I'm a little irritable. I just spoke heavily, don't mind." Su Jiu apologized.

"Miss Su is serious, she's talking too much."

"Hey, you're not going on patrol anymore?" Su Jiu asked him.

"Hehe, it's not time yet. I have to wait for the news over there. I can't go there for the time being. Maybe I heard that the prince is coming here recently, and the troublemakers have restrained themselves."

"Oh!" Su Jiu responded softly, "Then you can walk with me for a while, it's because I was bored before."

"Yes, Miss Su." Zhou Xiang shouted happily, which really scared Su Jiu.

Su Jiu looked him up and down, and felt that this person was very interesting, so he laughed, "You are interesting, let's go, go and have a look over there, I remember that you can catch fish at night."
