There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 829|Seventy-second dragon scales (5)

The seventy-two dragon scales (5)

"Why doesn't my brother go out to play?" Linglong asked with her head tilted. She really rarely sees a wonderful person like Xie Ji. For him, it seems that he only needs to accompany his sister, and everything else is to him. Unattractive, "Wouldn't it be boring to be with me every day?"

Xie Ji heard the words and chuckled: "What do you spend so much time wasting on irrelevant people, listening to them recite a few sour poems? Naturally, it is more important to stay at home with you."

He has always been clear about what he wants. After living a stable life, he can't sleep at night, always dreaming of his mother's voice and face of? He has only one relative left in this world, and he will never let her leave his side again, and he will never let her cry and be sad. No one can compare with his sister.

Xie Ji is not the kind of eldest young master who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers. As long as he is at home, no matter what strange ideas Linglong comes up with or what he wants to eat, he is willing to accompany her to fiddle with her. Even enthusiastically put forward his own suggestions to improve Zizi, and he never went to those poems.

For example, this gluten kneading... A normal person would be mad if he kneaded it, Xie Ji could squat in the small kitchen and knead it all afternoon.

Guan Zhuo came back drunk in the evening. He smelled of alcohol and smelled fat. Xie Ji watched coldly and asked Changsheng to send Guan Zhuo back to his room. He decided to kick him out the next day. There is a younger sister, seeing this kind of unremarkable person all day long, and being swayed by her ears and eyes, it's a shame!

Guan Zhuo woke up from a hangover and found that his brother Ji was going to drive him away. He cried and almost knelt down and hugged his thighs, but Xie Ji ignored him and treated him as cold and ruthless as winter. Guan Zhuo could only leave with his package. Fortunately, there was an inn nearby, so he stayed there for the time being. He was not angry, mainly because Xie Ji wanted to let him live at home. Fortunately, not to mention that he has already passed the exam, there is no need to keep him here, right?

My younger sister is fourteen, and next year will be Jijia. He lives in someone's house with a foreigner. To be honest, no matter how thick-skinned Guan Zhuo is, he still knows how to be ashamed.

He dared to say that if one day someone chewed the roots of his and his sister's tongues, Brother Ji would be able to kill him after pulling out those people's tongues!

But on the day of the announcement, Guan Zhuo tossed and turned on the bed of the inn the first night. The next day before dawn, he ran to Xie Ji's house to pat the door. Master, it's not yet dawn!"

"Oh, but the candidates in the same inn as me have all got up to watch the rankings! Where is Brother Jie? Hasn't Brother Jie got up yet?"

"Our grandfather asked Changsheng to pass early last night, and he will come back after seeing the list later."

Guan Zhuo: ...I'm sorry I lost.

Changsheng is very clever. He remembered what Master Guan said about catching his son-in-law on the list, for fear that their father would be exposed and be looked at. Originally, Xie Ji asked him to find an inn for one night and then wait for the list to be released. This guy is very good, save money, bring Zhang straw mat directly, and wait at the door... As soon as there is movement, Changsheng wakes up. Seeing that more and more people are waiting for the list, he simply occupies a good position. When it was dawn, the officers beat the gong and walked out to clear the way. Changsheng even opened his big eyes and stared at the red paper without blinking.

He has confidence in his grandfather and goes straight to the first place!

The main reason is that Xie Ji's previous performance was too good. No matter whether it was a teacher's examination or taking part in a scientific examination, he never won a place other than the first place. When he saw his father's name topping the list, Changsheng wanted to laugh, of course. , he held back, covered his mouth and snickered, lest people see him and find that he was too happy to rob their father as a son-in-law, but don't think he didn't see it, there are a lot of big-waisted servants around here!

Just as I was about to leave, I remembered that there was a disgusting young master Guan, so Changsheng began to look for him from the last one. He was an experienced man, and it only took him a moment to read the list, and it was perfect.

Xie Ji accompanies her sister to play with her after breakfast, and while playing with her, peels melon seeds for her sister. Seeing Guan Zhuo walking around and annoying everyone, he said, "Sit down."

Succinct and concise, Guan Zhuo was stunned.

Seeing Xie Jiyun's lightness, Guan Zhuo couldn't help: "Aren't you in a hurry, Brother Ji?"

"Nothing to worry about." Xie Jing said calmly, "I know I will be hit."

Guan Zhuo:...

I'm sorry to bother you, maybe this is the **** of learning!

Soon Changsheng came back. When he got home, he no longer concealed his ecstasy and shouted loudly: "Master! Master, you are the winner! Master is number one again!"

Xie Ji's face is calm, it seems that this number one does not make him very happy, only he knows in his heart that he is indeed very happy, at least this is one step closer to his goal of getting ahead. And Guan Zhuo eagerly looked at Changsheng: "What about me and me? Is there me? Is there me?"

Changsheng scratched his head: "Master Guan also won, but he was the last one."

He thinks too much, Guan Zhuo will not be unbalanced at all, he will only be ecstatic... After all, he knows how much he has, and this time he won, it is definitely not because of his strength, but luck!

This is really called Guan Zhuo, and he was right. He really didn't have anything to do with him. But when the paper was re-examined, there was an ink idea on the last paper. Those who couldn't tolerate sand, could not help but eliminate this person, so Guan Zhuo rose up one place inexplicably, just hanging on his tail...

Compared to Guan Zhuo's ecstasy, Xie Ji is much more stable. It seems that the number one is not that important to him. The more Guan Zhuo looks at it, the more he admires it. temperament! This mind! In exchange for the first place in the exam, I am afraid that I am not excited to go naked on the street | ran away!

Because there will be a palace exam in three days, Rao Shi Guan Zhuo will also be crammed. Although he has already won, what if he is lucky again on the day of the palace exam, and he will get the emperor's blue eye?

And Xie Ji went shopping with his sister for the first time in the world. Since they arrived in the capital, he has been immersed in his studies and rarely goes out. The palace exam is imminent, and Xie Ji is not nervous, no matter how much he reads When I entered, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and it was so chaotic that I didn't even look at it and went out for a walk.

The capital is naturally more prosperous than Fengcheng, and Linglong likes the food stalls on the roadside the most. She wants to taste almost everything, and then she gives everything she can't eat to her brother... Xie Ji She also doesn't mind eating her leftovers. During the most difficult period, the two brothers and sisters of WoWotou ate it separately. Xie Ji developed a frugal temperament early on and never wastes food. Fortunately, she raised bean buns later. If you can't finish the meal, you can give the bean bag to eat, otherwise Linglong thinks that if her brother can really support himself to death, he will eat all the leftovers...

She is fourteen years old, and she is very beautiful, especially when she laughs, she is even more dazzling than the sun, but every stall she goes to, the attitude of the stall owners is very good, half buy half give away, after all Who wouldn't like such a beautiful and pure girl? On the contrary, the young man who followed her seemed to be warm but full of momentum, making people not dare to underestimate.

After eating and drinking all day, Linglong was happy when he got home, Xie Ji also had a smile on the corner of his mouth. Guan Zhuo, who was dizzy and dizzy from reading, was envious of the upcoming palace exam. I was so nervous that I didn't sleep all night the night before, and the next morning, I appeared in front of Xie Ji's brothers and sisters with two huge panda eyes.

Xie Ji:......

Long Long:...

Linglong insisted to send Xie Ji off, but the carriage could not enter the imperial city, and could only wait outside the palace. It is extremely comfortable and convenient, and she can play for a long time by herself.

She watched Xie Ji be brought into the palace, and she was pulling the curtain of the carriage and refused to let it go. It happened that someone beat a horse passing by. The horse was afraid of her, and when her front knees softened, Linglong raised her head and met the person on the horse. Her eyes were clear and innocent, her eyes were black and round, and she was very beautiful. She was slightly startled when she saw that, and then Linglong smiled at him, let go of her hands, and went back to the carriage.

The man put his legs on the horse's belly and walked a few more steps. After a while, he turned his head back and stopped his eyes on the ordinary-looking carriage.

Then Linglong waited until the afternoon before Xie Ji came out. His face was as usual, and he didn't look down at all, but Guan Zhuo looked exhausted. As soon as he got in the car, Guan Zhuo complained: "The emperor is too majestic, At that time, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to say a word, and the papers were also messed up... Unlike Brother Ji, the emperor admired him very much. /

This brother and sister are really too calm, Xie Ji said: "The ranking will come out tomorrow, you don't have to worry."

Guan Zhuo patted his leg: "I'm not anxious, I'm scared."

In the early morning of the next day, the tributes who participated in the palace examination entered the palace early in the morning, and Xie Ji was indeed named the champion. During the parade, the two streets were full of people watching the fun, and many girls tried their best to face him. Losing a sachet, embroidering a handkerchief or something, Linglong asked Changsheng to reserve a private room on the second floor of the teahouse early, just at the moment when her brother was fascinated by thousands of girls.

Zhuang Yuan Lang is handsome and has no wife, and he has the appearance of a god. Not to mention the common people, even the emperor has never seen such an outstanding champion. He named Xie Ji as the champion, except that Xie Ji is really talented, this picture The face is also indispensable, but it is the second place and the third flower in the back, a year of no confusion, a year of 30 years, although it can't be called ugly, but compared with the nineteen-year-old champion, it is really an old cucumber with green paint .

So the girls' screams, embroidered handkerchiefs, sachets, etc., have absolutely nothing to do with them.

Linglong and Xie Ji have been dependent on each other for many years. It can be said that she is the one who knows Xie Ji best in the world. Although her brother seems to be calm, she is still keenly aware of the difference. Thinking of this, she raised her hands to circle At the mouth, shouted: "Zhuang - Yuan - Lang -!"

When Xie Ji heard her sister's voice, she immediately raised her head and saw that she was waving at her on the second floor. She unconsciously showed a gentle smile, so that the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the street blushed, and then Linglong shouted again: "You - good - handsome - ah!"

Xie Ji couldn't help it this time, even the longevity who had been with him for several years had never seen such a smile as his grandfather, and suddenly it was like seeing a ghost. After thinking about it, he felt right Miss, it's normal for me to laugh.

Although wearing a red python robe with a big red flower on the chest looks stupid, Xie Ji insisted on relying on his extraordinary beauty and temperament to carry it. People instantly cherish each other, it's not that they are too weak, it's that the opponent is too strong...

When I got home, I thanked the guests who came to celebrate, and gave red seals to those who came to announce the good news. Xie Ji waved back and held Linglong's hand. The two brothers and sisters sat in the study, Linglong faintly. I feel that he has something to say, but I don't know what makes Xie Ji so serious. "...Brother?"

"Long'er, when the emperor appointed the top three today, several important officials were present."

Linglong tilts her head, then what?

"...I saw him."

This "he" is naturally their father, Xie Fengwang, who has been missing for many years. As early as Linglong was sensible, Xie Ji told her about her father. Before her mother died, she was still waiting for this ruthless man. The reason why Xie Ji was so desperate to get ahead was to find that person. Let him kowtow in front of his mother's grave and admit his mistake.

"It's just that he has changed his name and surname, and is no longer called Xie Fengwang. I asked the little eunuch, and he said that the man is now called Wei Zewang, the Marquis of Xinyang, who was proclaimed by the emperor, and the son-in-law of Luo Sanqing, the Grand Sima. Huyang County Lord's husband. I heard that many years ago he worshipped the Great Sima's gate with his white body.

When she said these words, Xie Ji's tone was very calm, Linglong grabbed Xie Ji's hand, only to find that his fingers were trembling slightly, showing how turbulent his heart was.

"I heard that the duke of Xinyang and the host of Huyang County are in love with each other. For many years, they have not had a concubine by their side. They have raised eyebrows and have a deep love for flounder. The host of Huyang County is also a hero in women's high school. A pair."

"Ah, they also have a daughter, who was named the head of Qixia County by the emperor, and is loved by thousands of people. She is the arrogant daughter of heaven... Long'er."

Xie Ji murmured, "What is that mother, what are we two brothers and sisters?"

"I met him today, and he didn't recognize me and passed me by, but I recognized him! Turned to ashes, I recognized him too!"

It was the father who carried him on his shoulders, hugged him to play and teased, the family he often dreamed of in the middle of the night, he hated him and loved him, thinking that maybe he died soon after joining the army On the battlefield, I thought that maybe he was just lost, and one day he would go home, but now everything is in vain, his father is not dead, and he is not lost.

He just didn't come home.

Xie Ji's eyes were red, but there were no tears. As early as when his mother died, he was chased away from the city gate with his sister who had a high fever on his back. Promise never to cry again.

Linglong saw that he was about to cry or not, so she grabbed his fingers slightly harder: "Brother..."

She had no impression of Xie Fengwang. After all, when Xie Fengwang left, her mother had just become pregnant, but Xie Ji was not. The childhood from his birth to the age of five was the happiest time in his life, gentle mother Dear, powerful father, he is their baby and the crystallization of their love. They once looked forward to Linglong's birth together, but after the age of five, this happiness came to an abrupt end. He and his mother brought their newborn sister. They are hiding in the east, but no matter where they escape, there is a pair of hands creating disaster for them, so that they can't live, but they can't die.

At first, my mother was reluctant to leave the house, because it was a place full of family memories, and she wanted to wait for her husband to come back, but the rumors almost drove her to death, and someone always climbed up to their house At the top of the wall, they want to get their hands on this beautiful woman, but after the neighbors know about it, they will not speak for their mother. They seem to have forgotten how kind and considerate her mother has been all these years. Why do those people always come to the door?

There are even rumors that as long as twenty wen, you can sleep with your mother for one night.

More and more people come to harass, and my mother's embroidery can't be sold. They say it's embroidered by prostitutes. It's disgusting. People pointed and abused... In order to protect them, my mother had to sneak them away in the dark of night, but when they arrived at a new place, they did not get a new beginning.

Wherever they fled, the rumors were gangrenous and pervasive.

So they fled and fled. After living in one place, they had to move to another place. The young sister cried, and the mother didn't even have milk, but she never cried in front of their brothers and sisters. She was always strong. , told him that his father would come back one day, but in the dead of night, Xie Ji, who was sleeping with his sister in his arms, heard the repressed cry of his mother. At that time, he was still young, but he felt the sadness contained in it.

The person who has been waiting... The person who has been waiting for his mother to die... He changed his name and surname, and he succeeded in becoming famous.

Xie Ji suddenly hugged her sister into his arms, Linglong felt that his bones were hurting, she gently raised her hand and put it on Xie Ji's back, Xie Ji hugged her tightly.

I can't lose it anymore... I must protect my sister, I must! Be sure to protect it!

He promised his mother that he would find that person, and now that he has found it, one day... one day, he will ask that person to kneel in front of his mother's grave to apologize!

Linglong felt a warm liquid soaked her clothes, she hugged Xie Ji with her backhand and rubbed his face, her brother exuded a sad breath, it smelled so bitter, "It's okay, he doesn't want it We, we don't want him anymore."

Xie Ji's body trembled violently, his heart intertwined with love and hatred, and finally muttered: "Yes, he doesn't want us, we don't want him either..."

The mother's ashes were always with them, and they were not buried. Xie Ji didn't know how to tell her that the person she waited for until she died had already loved someone else and didn't want them anymore.

Guan Zhuo didn't see the brothers and sisters coming out of the study until the afternoon. The younger sister didn't see any change, but Brother Jie's eyelids were swollen like something... God, it turns out that Brother Jie was so excited to be the champion Is it right? It turns out that Brother Ji, who has never changed his color since Mount Tai collapsed before, is actually so fragile in his heart that he needs love and affection? ! It's incredible!

So Guan Zhuo thought thoughtfully and said: "Brother Jie, don't get excited, it's a certainty that you can win the top spot. Seeing that you're so excited that you're crying like this, my sister has worked hard to comfort Brother Jie, so, I booked a table at the Spring Breeze Building to celebrate, let's go for one tonight?"

Xie Ji:......

Long Long:...

However, being slapped by this silly gag, Xie Ji's mood has calmed down a lot, and Linglong put a hot compress on him again. At night, his eyes are almost swollen, and only a faint red remains, which makes him more handsome and handsome. Guan Zhuo is envious. You said how much this God favors his brother Ji, not only for talent, but also for beauty. How can there be such a good-looking man?

Look at his brother Ji, and then look at his exquisite sister, Guan Zhuo feels that he has the beauty of the two brothers and sisters tonight, let alone five bowls of rice!

Chunfenglou is the most famous restaurant in the capital, a table is not cheap, Guan Zhuo is also a big investment, of course Linglong will not miss the opportunity to eat a big family, she wanted to make Xie Ji happy, so she personally delivered it Her own congratulations - she has nothing to do at home on weekdays, and often tinkers with some gadgets, anyway, this and that will also be, Xie Ji held the jade pendant that her sister gave her, and she smiled unconsciously on her face. Wanting to put it away, Linglong grabbed it.

"Every time I give something to my brother, my brother hides it and doesn't wear the jade pendant. Is it because I don't think it looks good?"

She really accepted Xie Ji. He kept the pecans she gave him a long time ago. There is a treasure chest in Xie Ji's house. , there's actually no money in it, it's all things that Linglong gave him, grasshoppers, paper butterflies, building blocks... all of them were put in the box by him.

Under the gaze of her younger sister's death, Xie Ji had no choice but to tie the jade pendant around her waist. This piece of jade is not cheap. Xie Ji doesn't understand these luxuries. Guan Zhuo's family is only rich. The piece of jade is something in the Linglong Guixu Dragon Palace. She has too many treasures, and it is just right to put it away. It is just right to give it to the human she likes.

It is no exaggeration to say that this jade pendant has the value of a country.

And with this jade pendant, it can be invulnerable to all poisons, and can even protect Xie Ji. In the future, Xie Ji will have a hard time to walk. It is impossible for Linglong to be by his side for twelve hours. With this jade pendant there , can naturally protect him comprehensively.

Guan Zhuo was so envious that Linglong gave him a gift.

Looking at the dumpling candy in his hand, Guan Zhuo was lost in thought.

The contrast is too obvious! My sister is eccentric! He knows this dumpling candy! Or he bought it!

Xie Ji touched the jade pendant around her waist and couldn't put it down. She glanced at Guan Zhuo by the way: "Are you still not satisfied with the zongzi candy that Long'er gave you?"

That posture, like Guan Zhuo, if he dares to nod, he can screw his head off!

Guan Zhuo took a breath and said, "I'm satisfied, I'm very satisfied, how can I be dissatisfied."
