With Su Mingwei's life experience, walking sideways in Chang'an City is not a problem. The doting of his father and his mother made him despise since he was a child, and after he grew up, he learned 90% of his father's lust.

Su Mingwei has countless rooms, but still likes to look for beautiful women on the street, and enjoy the fun of forcing and grabbing.

However, when he reached the age of fourteen, he encountered the first hurdle in his life.

That hurdle is Chi Jingxi.

At that time, Chi Jingxi was not often in Chang'an, and spent most of the time in Chaoge. In many cases, there is only one concubine room and children in the Hou's house in Chang'an. An Huaihou likes to take Chi Jingxi to Chaoge, where he stayed for more than half a year.

But Mrs. Hou was ill that year, and it was not suitable to travel, so An Huaihou stayed in Chang'an. But Chi Jingxi was worried about her mother's illness and came back, just in time for the vacation time of Chang'an Academy.

Su Mingwei took a fancy to a concubine from a small family in a small door on the street, and entangled around her, and it happened that the concubine's brother had some friendship with Chi Jingxi.

On the street that day, ran into Su Mingwei forcibly holding the girl's hand. The teenager Chi Jingxi couldn't see it. At the moment, he beat Su Mingwei on the street, twisted and fractured his left hand, and swollen his face into a pig's head. He was on the bed. Lie down for half a month.

When did Su Mingwei suffer such a big grievance and shouted on the bed that Chi Jingxi should pay for his life, but because this sentence was passed out, the emperor immediately condemned the Su family, dropped it from Shangshu to the servant, and ordered a ban on foot Su Mingwei was six months old.

Su Mingwei's father, even if he spoiled, was too angry and beat him for the first time.

Su Mingwei hates Chi Jingxi, but at the same time he understands that Chi Jingxi cannot provoke him, otherwise the entire Su family will suffer.

So he held the round jade plaque in his hand, his legs softened, almost unable to stand.

Wen Yantong struggled hard, "Don't let me go!"

The two men didn't know yet, so when they saw her struggling, they said fiercely, "Be honest! Otherwise you will suffer!"

Su Mingwei said immediately, "Quick! Let the people go!"

The two were very surprised, and paused, "Shao Shao, this..."

Su Mingwei yelled with anger, "Hurry up and let go! What are you doing in a daze!"

Wen Yantong was let go all of a sudden, and she shook the sleeves that had been messed up because of the struggle with a cold face, "Please return the things to Major General Su to me."

Su Mingwei still held a trace of luck and said, "I ask you, where did you come from?"

Wen Yantong said, "Of course it was given to me by the owner of this thing."

"How is it possible!" he exclaimed, "this is a carry-on waist!"

"If Shao Su doesn't believe me, you can go with me to ask the Lord Master." Wen Yantong said, "But now, I advise you to give me things, otherwise, if the master of this jade medal is angry... …"

Su Mingwei hesitated, and after much consideration, a ugly smile squeezed out of his pale face, "This girl, I'm an old acquaintance with the owner of this jade medal. If you took it out earlier, it would be fine. They are all their own."

He re-wrapped the jade card with Jinpa, and then handed it to Wen Yantong, "Take it away."

Wen Yantong smiled after receiving the jade medal, "It turned out to be an old acquaintance, it was really a misunderstanding."

Su Mingwei nodded happily, "It's true, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Then my cousin..." She looked worriedly at the man who collapsed on the ground.

Su Mingwei kicked the man next to him, "I haven't helped the girl's cousin up yet!"

The two men didn't understand why the situation changed so quickly, but after seeing the change in Su Mingwei's attitude, they also knew that the jade pendant was not trivial. So he immediately fell to the ground, and Wang Qin, who was a little confused, helped him up.

Wen Yantong saw that he had been beaten really badly, so he walked up to him anxiously and patted his face, "Second cousin! Second cousin, wake up!"

Wang Qin was in pain all over, opened his eyes laboriously, and said weakly, "Cousin, hurry up, don't let Su Wangba catch you..."

Su Mingwei heard this Su Wangba, his eyelids twitched, but it is estimated that Wen Yantong was by his side, and he did not dare to have an attack. Instead, he said, "It seems that he was injured badly. I immediately asked someone to turn around. Go back to the shore first, and then take him to a doctor."

Wen Yantong sighed, "This is the only way to trouble Su Shao."

Su Mingwei smiled pretendingly, "No trouble, no trouble."

After saying that, people immediately turned the ship around, and just set sail for a short distance, so the speed of docking was very fast.

When Wang Qin was helped to disembark, people around him screamed. Su Mingwei followed and ordered the servant waiting on the shore to send Wang Qin to a doctor. There was noisy surroundings.

Only quickly, the tumult calmed down.

Su Mingwei wanted to grease the soles of his feet when he got off the boat, so people secretly stopped Wen Yantong on the boat. But I didn't expect that the person who didn't want to meet in dreams would stand on the shore.

When Wen Yantong came down in a hurry, he saw that there were people standing around him. Needless to say, there were so many young masters and ladies watching the excitement. And the most conspicuous in the crowd was Chi Jingxi in a shark gauze robe.

Wen Yantong was overjoyed, and the flustered heart now calmed down. She wanted to step forward immediately to greet him like Chaoge, but she still didn't dare to act rashly when so many people watched her.

Wen Yantong was singing in Chao, just a small student of Songhai Academy. But in Chang'an, she represented the entire Wen family, and she was very thoughtful in every move.

But if Su Mingwei's bad breath persists, she is afraid that she can't sleep for a few nights.

She stood aside and looked at Chi Jingxi, looking like everyone else, hoping that he could see his thoughts from it.

Naturally, Chi Jingxi could see that from the time Wang Qin was disembarked from the boat, he had already realized what might have happened to Wen Yantong. Then Su Mingwei came down and shouted to send Wang Qin to a doctor. Chi Jingxi had already guessed a little bit about what happened.

Suddenly, his black eyes did not see the bottom, and he raised his hand to beckon Wen Yantong, "Come here."

In an instant, everyone around him looked at Wen Yantong at the same time, with different thoughts.

Wen Yantong was staring at him, so he walked quickly to Chi Jingxi's side, bowed his head and saluted, "Little Houye."

Chi Jingxi looked around her and found that she had no visible injuries other than her hair, which was a little messy, so she asked, "What's wrong with your cousin?"

When Su Mingwei heard this, he froze and decided to take the initiative to attack, so he smiled and pretended to be familiar with Chi Jingxi, "Little Houye, when will I return to Chang'an? I don't even tell my brothers."

Chi Jingxi's eyes were as cold as ice ball in the twelfth lunar month. He only glanced at him and ignored it.

Wen Yantong replied, "This Young Master Su just on the boat said badly to me. My cousin couldn't see it and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect one person to lose to three people and he would be beaten like this."

Su Mingwei anxiously said, "This girl, when did I say something rude to you! Isn't it a misunderstanding that I just said it on the boat? Many people have seen it with their own eyes!"

Wen Yantong snorted softly, "That's just a plan of rights. You said you want to bring me and your wife into the door together. If I don't agree with you, I'm afraid you will do something to me again. Although I am A girl from a common people’s family, but she is also from an innocent background. How can you take advantage of it?"

When Chi Jingxi heard that this place was already rolling in anger, his heart was ignited like a fire, but the expression on his face became more and more serious.

Su Mingwei sternly said, "What a girl with a sharp tooth! How dare you to turn right and wrong like this? It is clear that your cousin first beat me! You also pour dirty water on me. I think you are coveting Su's family at all and want to borrow me to climb in. The Su family’s backyard deliberately slandered me like this!"

Hearing this, Chi Jingxi laughed in anger and said coldly, "Your Su's backyard? Except for the woman whose skirt was snatched by you, what else is there that you should covet?"

Su Mingwei was furious, "Chi Jingxi, you don't want to deceive too much! You are just a commoner's daughter. Do you still want to make enemies with my Su family because of her?"

Before his voice fell, Chi Jingxi's figure had turned into a broken shadow, and the movement was so fast that the surrounding guards did not react, and that punch had already hit Su Mingwei's face.

The sound of this punch was extremely dull, and Su Mingwei was beaten in two circles immediately, fell to the ground, and spit out a big mouthful of blood.

But a closer look revealed that there was a broken tooth in the blood foam.

Su Mingwei pinched his throat and wailed, his chin was dislocated because of this punch, and he couldn't say a word. Perhaps he had never experienced this kind of pain, and his tears and nose fell in an instant.

Chi Jingxi looked at him condescendingly, "You don't need to keep your speechless dog mouth."

The surrounding guards swarmed around, but did not dare to move Chi Jingxi, but helped Su Mingwei, who was called by a ghost, up and quickly led away from the crowd.

Wen Yantong was also taken aback. He looked at the blood-spatter on the ground. The secret path Chi Jingxi should hit two more punches to smash Su Mingwei's teeth.

Chi Jingxi did not order anyone to stop Su Mingwei from leaving, but he knew that the matter was not over yet.

As a result, he wiped the back of the blood-stained hand with the Jinpa that the young man handed him, and threw it away, and then walked to Wen Yantong's side.

He still had a cold face, but his breath eased at the moment he paused. He lowered his eyes to look at Wen Yantong, then without saying anything, he walked straight ahead and left the crowd.

Wen Yantong followed very sensibly, and only after about half a street did Chi Jingxi stop.

She looked up and found that Chi Jingxi had stopped in front of a medical clinic. He turned his head and glanced at her, stepped up the stairs, and drew the curtain into the hospital.

The guards were all guarding outside, Wen Yantong and little servant were a step behind, and followed in.

There are not many people in the hospital, only Wang Qin and another man. Wang Qin's face was black and red and swollen. He was lying on the soft cushion and didn't know if he was dizzy with his eyes closed.

Wen Yantong hurriedly stepped forward and saw the doctor walking towards the backyard. He asked, "Doctor, how is my cousin's injury? Have you seen it?"

The doctor didn't reply, "Don't worry the girl, it's all skin injuries. I'm looking for medicine. It will be better to cover him." After that, he drew the curtain and went to the backyard.

Wen Yantong walked to Wang Qin's side and whispered a few times, "Second cousin, can you hear me?"

Wang Qin was probably still conscious, so he moved his fingers and made a vague sound in his mouth. Although he couldn't hear what he was saying, Wen Yantong was a little relieved.

Turning his head again, I saw Chi Jingxi standing on one side with a dark face, with the corners of her mouth curled downwards, her hands around her chest, as if I was very unhappy.

The other patient was so scared that he rushed away carrying the medicine packet.

Wen Yantong couldn't help but smile, and said to him, "I haven't seen brother Shan Li for a long time. Why did I run over to show me a face when I saw him today without eating?"

Chi Jingxi is naturally angry. He finally pushed You Huayan and ran out to find Wen Yantong, but he heard that she had come here by herself, so he said to his father and mother that he would never come, and then he ran over.

After came here, didn't eat any food. saw that she had a close relationship with Wang Qin, the second cousin who didn't know where he got out of.

But when Chi Jingxi heard the sound of Brother Shan Li, no matter how much anger, Chi Jingxi seemed to be poked a hole, and all of a sudden, it leaked out. It's just that the face is still frozen, "I'm full of qi, what else to eat."

Wen Yantong stepped forward two steps, and smiled next to his arm, "Wow, this brother is so amazing, then when we eat together next time, I will get angry with you first, so that no one will grab a meal with me. "

Chi Jingxi squeezed her face, "You can't say two nice words in this mouth? When did I grab food with you?"

Wen Yantong said, "Then don't be angry, I will say something nice for you."

Chi Jingxi said, "You said."

Wen Yantong looked at him and paused for a while before saying, "I miss you so much...we haven't seen each other for twelve days."

Chi Jingxi's eyes condensed, and the strength in her hand loosened unconsciously, feeling that her eyes were very hot, burning the roots of her ears. So he quickly turned his head, and looked down a little flustered to hide.

Wen Yantong smiled and tilted his head to look at him, "Don't you want Master Xiaohou? Didn't you say that you came to me, why didn't I wait and wait?"

Chi Jingxi was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "I think about coming to you every day, but something always gets in my way."

Of course Wen Yantong knew that he had a lot of things, so he said, "It's okay, you don't come to me, so I ran to you."

Chi Jingxi turned her eyes to look at her, "Are you here to find me?"

Wen Yantong nodded very frankly, "Yes, I heard that this is a banquet hosted by Lord Hou, so I thought you should come back to attend, so I came."

The corner of Chi Jingxi's mouth finally climbed up with a smile, with a pair of smiling eyes slightly curved, staring at her, "That's really hard for you."

Wen Yantong pressed his restless heart and sighed, "I just didn't expect to get into trouble this time. My second cousin first beat the young master of the Su family. What can I do now?"

Chi Jingxi turned his eyes to Wang Qin who was lying on the soft cushion. He was not emotional, but asked, "Why does he want to beat Su Mingwei?"

Wen Yantong said truthfully, "We heard Su Mingwei talking with friends about Miss Lin Si on the terrace on the second floor of the ship. My second cousin cares about Miss Lin Si, so he took action without holding back."

Chi Jingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "The Su family has proposed marriage to the Lin family."

Wen Yantong nodded, "I did hear this from Su Mingwei."

"But the Lin family refused." Chi Jingxi said, "My mother and Lin Si's mother handed handkerchiefs. Yesterday she came to the Hou Mansion to talk about it, and I happened to run into it."

Wen Yantong relaxed his mind and said, "Master Xiaohou, whether it is Chaoge or Chang'an, is preparing for your engagement. Do you have a girl who likes?"

Chi Jingxi looked at her, sighed insignificantly, and then patted her forehead with the palm of her hand, "You ask so much what to do."

Wen Yantong said, "I'm curious."

"You are really curious about a lot." Chi Jingxi clicked on her forehead with her fingertips, and said, "Changan is no better than Chaoge. It's far from the imperial city. Some of the rules are different, so you try to stay outside as little as possible. Move around."

Wen Yantong nodded obediently.

Chi Jingxi thought for a while and then said, "Although I will help you find it, but I don't want you to suffer or get hurt because of anything, you know?"

She had a warm heart and smiled, "I know Master Xiaohou, I will definitely not run around, and I will never cause you trouble."

Seeing her smile, Chi Jingxi suddenly hoped that the academy's opening time would come soon so that they could meet every day.

After the two chatted for a while, there was an abnormality at the door, and then a middle-aged man came in with a curtain.

Wen Yantong had seen him in the palace and knew that this was Chi Jingxi's father, so he immediately bent over and saluted, "The people's daughter pays homage to Lord Hou."

Chi Jingxi also nodded slightly, "Father."

Chi Shu has a gentle face and smiles, "Get up."

Wen Yan Tong Pingli got up and bowed his head honestly. Chi Shu looked at her left and right, and asked with a smile, "Which girl is this girl, she looks so beautiful, how pretty is Nianfang?"

Wen Yantong replied, "Back to Lord Hou, the surname of the citizen is Wen, and my father is Wenju, this year on February 8th."

"Very good, very good." Chi Shu said, "I have an impression of Wengu. Last year, the tributary of the Huaihe River was flooded and Wen's donation was the largest in Chang'an. I didn't expect his daughter to be so lovely."

"Father." Chi Jingxi couldn't help but said, "What are you doing here to find me?"

Chi Shu frowned and smiled, "Look, I just asked a few words."

Wen Yantong said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your praise."

Chi Shu nodded, winking at the entourage behind him, and then the entourage stepped forward, and said to Wen Yantong in a pleasant manner, "Wen girl, follow your subordinates."

Wen Yantong immediately followed with interest. Yu Guang saw Chi Shu's guard Wang Qin also carried to the backyard, and then the front and back doors of the medical hall were guarded.

Wen Yantong was a little worried, fearing that Chi Shu had come to blame Chi Jingxi for hitting Su Mingwei by the river. But even if she was worried, she couldn't speak, so she had to follow to the backyard.

The doctor didn't look for medicine anymore, so he sat on the pony tuck cleverly, and didn't dare to get out of the air.

In the room, Chi Shu looked at the people being taken out, and then turned his face, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you just started by the river?"

Chi Jingxi replied in a low voice, "Su Mingwei made a move to hurt people and spoke rudely to my friend. This should be a lesson."

Chi Shu's eyebrows were deep, "This Su family has been lawless for a long time, and Su Mingwei has always bullied others. I don't know how many innocent girls have been mutilated. This matter needs to be played to the emperor."

Chi Jingxi said, "How's the Su family's account check?"

Chi Shu said, "It's almost the same, big and small business, corruption, bribery, embezzlement, all the accounting evidence has been prepared, just waiting to be sent to Chaoge."

Chi Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief, "The Su family is really cautious, and it took three years to investigate this matter."

Chi Shu said, "The Su family is naturally cautious about the major U-turn. If you meet the Su family's son in the future, you should beat him a few more times, lest the crime falls to the Su family in the future and you have no chance to beat him."

Chi Jingxi pondered for a moment, "I am not addicted to violence."

池述道，“哎呀有什么关系，反正世人都认为你爱揍人。”

Chi Jingxi was silent and didn't want to respond. Chi Shu sighed, "Didn't you say you can't come to the painting feast?"

Chi Jingxi remained silent.

Chi Shu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, my son, now that I'm here, let's say hello to those uncles and uncles, lest others say that you are impolite... It’s a simple ceremony, because I heard people outside say that you don’t understand etiquette, and my nose is crooked."

Chi Jingxi was very helpless, and said three good times, "I know, I'm going to inform my friend first."

"Which one?" Chi Shu gestured, "Is it the one with the swollen face like a pig's head?"

Chi Jingxi said, "No."

"Oh, it's that pretty girl." Chi Shu said, "you tell her to come back soon, and you won't make her wait in a hurry."

Chi Jingxi waved his hand to show his knowledge.

After Chi Shu saw him leaving, he couldn't help laughing in the house.

Wen Yantong waited anxiously for a while, and saw Chi Jingxi entering the backyard. Seeing his face was not unhappy, he stopped in front of her.

She was a little worried, "Master Hou didn't blame you, did he?"

Chi Jingxi could see that she was worried, and smiled, "It's okay, my father wouldn't blame me for this little thing."

Wen Yantong was relieved and listened to Chi Jingxi, "I have something to do now, and I need to leave for a while. You will go around here first, and I will leave a few guards for you."

Wen Yantong only saw him. He was going to be busy with things. He was still a little bit disappointed, but he couldn't stop him, so he had to say, "Then Young Master Hou will come back soon."

Chi Jingxi nodded, "I will be back soon."

Wen Yantong watched him turn around, saw Chi Jingxi walk a few steps, and couldn't help but look back at her, finally couldn't help but laugh.

Where would Chi Jingxi leave before looking back at her?

After Chi Shu left with Chi Jingxi, Wen Yantong did not go out and wandered around. Instead, he sat next to Wang Qin and saw the doctor treat him with wounds.

When he was beaten, the two tiger teeth in his mouth stabbed his mouth, bleeding a lot, and the doctor broke his mouth and gave him medicine.

The meal was really not light, the face was covered with a thick herbal ointment, and only a pair of eyes were left behind. was afraid that after carrying it home, he didn't even recognize his parents.

However, compared to Su Mingwei's broken tooth and dislocated jaw, Wang Qin's injury was still a little better.

After some injuries were dealt with, it was already dusk.

The doctor wiped a sweat, went to grab the medicine and wrote the prescription, and instructed him to avoid the food and the way of the medicine. The young man wrote down one by one, and then awakened the sleepy Wen Yantong.

Xiaoying said goodbye to Wen Yantong, then carried Wang Qin into the carriage and hurried to home.

Wen Yantong twisted her stiff waist, thinking that Chi Jingxi hadn't come back, so she wanted to go out and have a look.

The sky is connected to the Huai River, the moon is high in the sky, and under the night, the stars on the surface of the river are dotted with light corresponding to the reflection, which is so beautiful.

Wen Yantong stood by the Huai River and watched, surrounded by guards left by Chi Jingxi.

In the eyes of these beautiful scenery, Wen Yantong remembered the habit of ancient people who liked to chant poems, so he couldn't help but want to imitate, "Ah! Riveryou are so beautiful and so moving!"

"What are you doing?" Chi Jingxi's voice suddenly came from behind.

Wen Yantong almost frightened a rooster crowing. As soon as he turned his head, he saw him standing behind with a smile in his eyes, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I didn't see you in the hospital just now, so I found it." Chi Jingxi approached her and asked, "What were you reading just now?"

Wen Yantong scratched his head, "I'm writing poetry..."

"... Originally I thought you were just a poor article, it seems I misunderstood you." Chi Jingxi said.

Wen Yantong had been used to it for a long time, and he smiled and said, "Master Xiaohou, are you all done with your business?"

Chi Jingxi nodded, "Let's go, let's go back before Chang'an closes the city gate."

Wen Yantong happily followed behind him and got into the carriage together. As soon as Chi Jingxi sat down, he took out a carved wooden box, "Are you hungry? This is for you to eat."

She actually ate a lot of snacks and was not very hungry at this time, but there is no reason why Chi Jingxi gave something wrong, so when she opened it, she saw that the box was filled with dark pastries and roses. The aroma is tangy.

"It's the famous rose cake in Chang'an. You can try it." Chi Jingxi said.

Wen Yantong couldn't wait to pick up a piece with chopsticks. The fragrance of rose between the teeth almost overflowed. The taste was sweet and the taste of fruit wine followed, making Wen Yantong amazed.

This pastry has several flavors, but after swallowing, only the sweetness of roses is left.

Wen Yantong emptied the entire box, and Chi Jingxi watched her hand it piece by piece in her mouth, with a chuckle all the time.

Finally, she hiccuped and laughed happily, "Thank you, Master Xiaohou, the food is so delicious."

Chi Jingxi smiled and said, "Are you full?"

Wen Yantong nodded happily and yawned, "I want to sleep."

"Then you go to bed, and when you wake up, home should be here too." Chi Jingxi softened her voice unconsciously, only thinking that Wen Yantong now really has the soft appearance of a girl.

Wen Yantong responded, and then fell asleep. Seeing her blushing cheeks, Chi Jingxi seemed a little strange, so he took the carved wooden box and smelled it, and he smelled a touch of alcohol in it.

Chi Jingxi had never eaten this kind of sweet cakes himself, so he didn't know that the cakes were mixed with fruit wine. He had so many mouthfuls after smelling the inkstone.

But she didn't shout or make trouble, and went to sleep when she was a little confused, and her breathing had become steady now.

Chi Jingxi's expression was soothing. Since returning from Chaoge, he has been busy dealing with all kinds of things at home and can't spare time to find her, which keeps him in a good mood.

Just for a while, even if Wen Yantong only closed his eyes and went to bed, Chi Jingxi felt very comfortable. It seemed that as long as he looked at her, all the worries in his heart disappeared. It was not calm, but a kind of joy. The state of pleasure comes.

An hour's drive, when you arrive in Chang'an City, the street is full of lively people.

Wen's house is located in a private residential area. There are no vendors or pedestrians on the wide streets, just like another quiet Chang'an.

Chi Jingxi awakened Wen Yantong and said, "I'm home."

Wen Yantong sat up in a daze, and she slept somewhat so that she was a little awake, but when she got out of the car, she stepped on the air and almost fell. Fortunately, she was hugged by Chi Jingxi in time.

Wen Yantong was half awake and half confused, and when he smelled Chi Jingxi's body, he hugged him, "Little Houye..."

The voice seemed to be squeezed out of her heart, with a silky softness, Chi Jingxi's heart suddenly softened, turned and carried her on her back, let the guards wait by the carriage, and walked half the street to give it to her. go back.

He moved his head when he heard Yantong on the road, and suddenly he squeezed Chi Jingxi's ears and whispered, "Master Xiaohou."

Chi Jingxi felt the soft touch on the tips of her ears, let her pinch it, and smiled, "Yeah."

Wen Yantong asked, "Do you know what it's like to like someone?"

Chi Jingxi pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Think when you walk, think when you sit, think when you hold a pen, and think when you drop the chopsticks."

"Yeah." Wen Yantong whispered in his ear, "I am."

Chi Jingxi was taken aback for a moment, "What?"

"I said, I was like that." Wen Yantong spoke slowly, and said gently, "Walking to miss you, sitting down to miss you, thinking of you when reading, thinking of you when eating, and thinking of you when sleeping. But You can only be seen in a dream."

Chi Jingxi's footsteps stopped. He not only heard Wen Yantong's breathing sound in his ears, but also heard a powerful beating in his chest.

This is the first time in his life.

The throbbing came so violently that he caught him off guard.
