Chapter 25

After being beaten and drenched in the rain, Jin Xi started to have a fever that night.Mr. Yun Zong didn't show a good face when he came to visit the doctor. He took out a large iron ruler from his sleeve, aimed at Jin Xi and slapped his palm hard, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Jin Xi's head was covered with cold sweat from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Students don't know!"

Mr. Yun Zong's face was so dark that he could wring water out, "Do you know that if the second young master hadn't stopped you and the incense burner hit your father, your life would have been lost, and the old man would not have been able to save you!"

Mr. Yun Zong's tone and expression were very severe, but Jin Xi could hear his love from the bottom of his heart, and the grievance in his heart was suddenly overwhelmed, and she couldn't bear it anymore. She hugged Mr. Yun Zong and burst into tears. "Wu Tianyou wronged me, they will beat me to death without asking indiscriminately! Sir, please take me away, I don't want to stay here anymore! I can endure any kind of hardship, and I will never be lazy in my studies in the future, and I will be good at it." Serving you, I will learn how to cook, be a female celebrity, and everything... I will buy you wine and drink when I make money, and I will never drag you down!"

"Silly boy! The world is just a big prison, where can you go?" Mr. Yun Zong suddenly looked sad, took a deep breath for a long time, and then let it out slowly.He stroked Jin Xi's messy head in a comforting manner, and his voice was as heavy as carrying a mountain on his back.If there is really a place to escape from the world of mortals, why would he bother to return to the capital?
Jin Xi's bruised and swollen face was covered with tears, and with the sound of sobbing, her thin shoulders shrugged, showing indescribable sadness and helplessness.The small face gradually enlarged and gradually overlapped with the peerless face deep in his memory. Mr. Yun Zong's eyes, which were as vast as the sea, suddenly became dim. That person looked at him with such despair and sadness many years ago. Him, begging him to take her away.For the sake of the so-called righteousness of his family and country, he flatly refused, but who would have ruined her life!Today...is this decision the right one?

"Keep this thing away with you, it can save your life at a critical moment!" He took out a string of clear glass bracelets from his arms and stuffed them into Jinxi's hands, got up and walked out as if fleeing, sternly saying as he walked : "The next time you don't use your brain and be reckless and impulsive when something happens, I will beat you to death with my own hands, so that you won't get into trouble and die at the hands of others in the future, and lose the face of Guigu's ancestors!"

I don't know if it's Jin Xi's delusion or dazzled eyes, but when Mr. Yun Zong went out, his back was extremely gloomy, and his voice was trembling even more.She looked down at the string of longan-sized glazed beads in her hand, Mr. Yun Zong's body temperature gradually dissipated, his tentacles were icy cold, and the bright yellow beads were engraved with lifelike dragon-shaped cloud patterns, which obviously had a great origin.Jin Xi slowly closed her fingers, a drop of clear and hot teardrop silently slipped from under the closed eyelashes, fell along the delicate cloud patterns on the clear blue cotton quilt, and disappeared in a flash, leaving only a dark blue mark... ...Mr. Yun Zong is right, the sky and the earth cannot tolerate her blindly shrinking back!
Jinxi sewed this string of glazed bracelets into her purse one by one, and put it close to her body, then called Caiyue in and pointed to a tight blue flower cloth package and said, "Give this to Second Sister! This one I only wear the clothes once, they are my best things, take them to my second sister to make amends! Handle them carefully, if you break them, you won’t be able to afford it if you sell them!"

Caiyue raised her head suspiciously and glanced twice at Jin Xi's unusually calm face. The shadow of the interlocking window lattice overlapped Jin Xi's brows and eyes. The newly polished bronze mirror glowed with a cold light, Caiyue shivered involuntarily, she didn't dare to look at Jinxi again, let alone ask what was in the package!
"Go and invite the second young master here, just say that I have something important to ask him face to face!" Caiyue went out, and Jinxi sent Qing Xing to invite Zhou Xiyao.Everyone who could walk in the yard had left, and the house was unusually quiet. Jin Xi lay back on the bed, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, since Zhou Xiyao wanted to cooperate with her, why not give him a chance and see if he has the ability to catch it!

"Zhou Jinxi! Get out of here!" Jinxiu's roar broke the tranquility of Xuefeng Pavilion, and then Zhou Xiyao's clear and clear voice sounded slowly, "Second sister, why don't you recuperate in the room, come here What are you doing here? Shouting so loudly will lose your identity, and secondly, it’s not good to scare Sixth Sister!"

"You don't have to worry about where I go! Your mother can't even enter the ancestral hall, what face do you have to show me the name of my eldest brother?" Jinxiu suffered a lot in the Wu family but didn't have a long memory at all, opening her mouth like a poisonous snake possessed Just bite into someone's sore spot.

Zhou Xiyao was not in a hurry or angry, and said calmly: "If the second sister can ask the patriarch to remove me from the Zhou family tree, I will naturally dare not call myself the elder brother in front of you. If you don't have this ability, you must call me elder brother, and I will I must bear the responsibility of teaching you!"

Listening to the conversation between the two brothers and sisters in the courtyard, a smile flashed across Jin Xi's eyes, and she put the scissors on the most conspicuous position at the head of the bed, and then put on the half-worn bullet-ink jacket on her body, slowly Slowly buttoning the butterfly buttons on the jacket, waiting for Jinxiu to come in.

Zhou Xiyao claimed that his eloquence was fine, Jinxiu knew that he couldn't take advantage of his words, so he left him and rushed into the room, throwing the blue cloth package in his hand at Jinxi, "Bitch! Instigate that idiot Wu Tianyou to bully me Not counting, but still humiliating me with the old clothes you wore? If I don’t beat you to death today, I won’t be Zhou Jinxiu!”

"Second Sister! I was wrong, I will correct it! Please don't hit me!" Jinxiu jumped onto the bed like a tigress, Jinxi shrank to the corner of the bed in fright while hugging the quilt, but her feet hidden under the quilt shone brightly on Jinxiu's face. kicked his ankle hard.Jinxiu leaned back, fell straight off the bed, and landed on the back of her head with a muffled thud, Jinxi's eyelids twitched involuntarily. This movement was definitely a concussion.

Jinxiu didn't get up for a while, Zhou Xiyao, who followed her in, seemed to be stupefied by the scene in front of her, and froze there with one foot in the door and one foot outside, just blocking the doorway.The maidservants brought by Jinxiu were also scared to death, but none of them dared to push Zhou Xiyao away or squeeze in from him.They are all fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls. If they touch a young master as old as Zhou Xiyao, they are shameless. If they spread the news, can they still live?

Jinxiu fell to the ground, seeing no one came up to help her, she immediately held her breath in her chest, her face turned purple from swelling.The cheeks scalded by the incense had just formed dark red scabs, and the surrounding area was covered with light yellow powder. At this time, some dust was added, and the face was colorful and dirty, as if a dyeing workshop had been opened.

Jin Xi suppressed a laugh, changed the expression on his face to one of panic, jumped off the bed with bare feet, stepped on the ankle where Jin Xiu was kicked accurately, and screamed like a pig being killed.Jinxi had already thrown herself into Zhou Xiyao's arms, crying, "Second Brother, Second Sister, I don't know what's wrong, she fell like this as soon as she entered the room, hurry up and have a look!"

"It's okay! Nothing will happen!" Zhou Xiyao looked down at the trembling little man in his arms, and the big teardrops quickly slid down the soft and smooth cheeks. The swelling has not completely dissipated, and the comparison of the two makes her look like a frightened bird, weak and restless to the extreme.If it wasn't for the faint smell of ginger on the collar of her clothes, and her heart was as cold as his, it would be unavoidable to be impulsive because of pity.

The corners of Zhou Xiyao's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and he comforted Jinxi in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Jinxiu, who was rolling around her ankles and yelling at her. My younger sister's illness, I said that I want to recommend a famous doctor to come to treat my second younger sister. Why don't I go to Xie's cousin now and ask him to bring that famous doctor over!"

"You dare! If you dare to tell Cousin Xie that my face is hurt, I'll bump my head to death in front of you!" Jinxiu suddenly got up from the ground, touched the ground with one foot, and threatened Zhou Xiyao viciously with her half crooked body.

Zhou Xiyao looked indifferent, but Jinxi really wanted to ask Jinxiu, do you think Zhou Xiyao would care about your life or death?In line with the principle that people can't tear themselves apart, she struggled out of Zhou Xiyao's arms, timidly picked up the unopened blue cloth package from the bed, and walked to Jinxiu, "Second sister, I only wear this dress." After a while, it is my best thing, and I will give it to you as an apology for you!"

"I don't want to make amends for the things you're a lowly maidservant, even if they're used as a foot wipe!" Jinxiu snatched the package and threw it far away, grabbed the scissors by the bedside, pointed at Jinxi's nose and cursed Said: "If you dare to say one more word, I will cut up that rotten dress and let you eat it!"

"My sister obviously likes this dress..." Jin Xi picked up the package and handed it to Jin Xiu without giving up.The two pushed and shoved back and forth a few times. The one who delivered was sincere, while the one who pushed was furious.Jinxi handed over the package again, Jinxiu was so enthralled that she cut the package with a scissor.

"This is the fox fur cloak that grandma gave you!" Jinxi screamed, and Jinxiu was also dumbfounded seeing the snow-white fox fur exposed from the rotten wrapper.

"This is something that was bestowed by the late emperor!" Zhou Xiyao shook off his cloak and looked at the half-foot-long slit above, his eyelids twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but secretly scolded Jin Xi for being daring and reckless in order to achieve his goal.

Jinxiu threw the scissors on the ground with a 'clap', and took a few steps back, ignoring the pain in her feet, and waved her hands repeatedly, "It wasn't me...it wasn't me...it wasn't me who broke it! I didn't break it!" Seemed to think of something , pointing at Jinxi and screaming, "You did it on purpose, you deliberately scratched the clothes and blamed me."

Jinxi was too lazy to look at Jinxiu's distorted and ferocious facial features. She looked at Zhou Xiyao with tears streaming down her face, and shook her head desperately, "I didn't, second brother, trust me, I didn't frame second sister! I didn't do it!"

Looking at Jinxiu, Zhou Xiyao's expression became serious, "Destroying an imperial gift is a serious crime of beheading, and a dozen pairs of eyes are staring at you, so you can just ignore it!"

"Second brother, save me, second brother, you are a prodigy, you must have a way to save me! I am your sister, you can't just leave me alone!" Jinxiu was completely dumbfounded, she grabbed Zhou Xiyao like a life-saving straw, sniffling Tears, how can I still have the prestige just now.

Jinxi was speechless about Jinxiu's memory, and really wanted to ask her, who was the one who yelled at Zhou Xiyao just now and didn't recognize Zhou Xiyao as her elder brother?

"You and I are brothers and sisters, so of course I won't do nothing!" Zhou Xiyao sighed, took out his handkerchief to wipe away the snot and tears on Jinxiu's face, and said with a troubled expression: "It's just a matter of great importance, please It's up to the parents to decide!"

"Don't!" Jinxiu screamed like a ghost, Zhou Bohai was demoted by her, wishing to take her skin off.The second madam also disliked her these few days, calling her stupid like a pig, and kept saying that she wanted to take back the brocade pattern and cultivate it.If she let them know that she has caused another catastrophe, her death will come. "Second brother, quietly take out your clothes and find someone to repair them. I'm willing to pay no matter how much money it takes!"

Jinxiu took all the jewelry off her body and stuffed them into Zhou Xiyao's hands, knelt down in front of him, pulled at the hem of his green cloth Confucian robe, and begged, "Second brother, I beg you, you must help me .As long as you help me this time, I swear that I will never embarrass you again! I will never mention anything about Rong’s spiritual position!"

"Sixth sister, what do you say?" Unexpectedly, Jinxiu was so stupid that she would not forget to step on someone's feet when she begged for help. Jinxi shook her head secretly. This kind of IQ is still going to die, and even gods can't save it.Hearing Zhou Xiyao asking for her opinion, he quickly shrank his neck and said with a frightened face: "I'm entirely up to my second brother to make the decision!"

Jinxi had a shocked expression on his face, but there was not even a trace of ripple in his bright black eyes. Zhou Xiyao smiled at her knowingly, wrapped the snow fox cloak with his own hands, and said to Jinxiu righteously: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely Find a way to help you!"

When Zhou Xiyao was about to leave the house, Jinxiu didn't forget to tell him to be careful to keep it secret, and turned around and threatened the servant girl who had witnessed the incident: "You all keep your mouths shut, and if you reveal a single word, you will be beaten to death with sticks according to family law!"

Everyone fell silent, and Jinxi swore to the sky again and again that she would never talk nonsense. Then Jinxiu limped and left Xuefeng Pavilion after Zhou Xiyao restlessly.

Jin Xi picked up the scissors on the ground and snipped twice against the wind, the smile hidden in his eyes finally burst into bloom, shining like fireworks.Of course she won't talk nonsense, but there is someone who can say it, and everyone knows that she can say it!
