Chapter 31: Help
The piercing neighing of horses suddenly sounded in the cold street.
Looking at the oncoming carriage, Zhang Jiu almost forgot to react.
In the nick of time, Jiang Ning pushed him away, turned over and jumped onto the frantic horse.
After several fights, Jiang Ning finally subdued the horse, and Zhang Jiu quickly ran forward, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Ning was safe and sound.
"I'm so scared, why are you conquered by my charm?" Jiang Ning smiled brilliantly.
"Thank you..." The coachman saw the faces of the two clearly through the moonlight, "So it's Young Master Jiang, Young Master Zhang, thank you for helping me."
Zhang Jiu recognized this person as Zhou Zezheng's coachman. Sure enough, the curtain was raised, and Zhou Zezheng got out of the carriage. He had just experienced a frightened horse, but Zhou Ze's face was as usual, and it didn't affect him at all.
"I didn't expect to meet again in such a scene. Nephew Zhang Xian and I were actually switched." Zhou Ze had a gentle smile on his face.
"Is Master Zhou all right?"
"I'm fine. It seems that we are really destined. I saved nephew Zhang Xian once, and you saved me again. Nephew Zhang Xian and I owe nothing to anyone."
"People often say that what you plant causes you to get what you want, and Mr. Zhou will naturally get good results if you do good to others," Jiang Ning said with a smile.
"Xiao Ning is right, Mr. Zhang is an auspicious person with his own natural appearance"
"You two are still so good at talking," Zhou Zezheng's smile deepened.
"The two of us are telling the truth"
Zhou Zezheng was beaming with joy, and then said, "Didn't we agree to see each other often? Why didn't you two come to see me? Did you dislike me as an old man for nagging?"
"What did Mr. Zhou say? You are in your prime now, why would you put the words old man on it? You won't be called an old man even in another 20 years." Jiang Ning pretended to be unhappy.
"Exactly," Zhang Jiu nodded in agreement, "It's not that we don't want to see Master Zhou, but the exam is coming up, and it's really hard to find time. Xiao Ning and I are discussing that we must visit Master Zhou after the exam is over?"
"Is that right?"
"Yes." Jiang Ning nodded hurriedly.
"Then I'll be waiting for you," Zhou Zezheng said again, "Scientific research is indeed a major event in life, I hope you both can get what you want."
"With your good words, I think we Xiao Ning will definitely get what we want."
"Then I will wait for your good news"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhou Zezheng let them go, watching their backs and letting out an inaudible sigh.
Zhang Jiu thought that he could sleep comfortably when he returned to the inn, but he didn't know that there was still someone waiting for him.
The moment he saw Gao De, all the good mood he had created with great difficulty faded away like the tide receding. Zhang Jiu sighed in his heart and prayed silently. He didn't see me, he didn't see me.
Obviously God didn't hear Zhang Jiu's prayer, Gao De walked towards him the moment he saw Zhang Jiu.
"Senior executive, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Zhang Jiu reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth.
"It's no coincidence, I'm waiting for Mr. Zhang here?" Gao De's smile lasted for no more than five seconds, and then changed into a sad face.
"Is the executive looking for something?" Zhang Jiu didn't even want to keep his forced smile at this moment.
"Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask you to persuade our highness. Since the fifth highness and the third highness came to see our highness today, your highness has been silent and unhappy. Your highness has no friends. All I can think of is You are the only one left, Young Master Zhang." Gao De looked at Zhang Jiu expectantly.
Qin Shu and Qin Huan came to look for Qin Ce today, but according to Qin Ce's personality, no matter how much they secretly mocked Qin Ce, they couldn't be unhappy. There was a little change when Jiu was there, Gao De realized that Qin Ce was unhappy because Zhang Jiu hadn't come for a long time.
As a servant who is devoted to his duties and cares about his master, Gao De is definitely worried about the master's worries first, and happy after the master's joy, and strives to realize the master's wish, so he immediately goes out to bring Zhang Jiu to Qin Ce, for the sake of This has been waiting for a long time at the inn.
"I don't think it will work if I go?" Zhang Jiu's tone was very uncertain. Qin Shu and Qin Huan went to see Qin Ce. They didn't need to think about him and knew what would happen. Qin Ce fell back to this field and this The two are also inseparable, so Qin Ce should not want to see them.
But what did it matter to him?Zhang Jiu asked himself that his role had not yet reached the point where anyone who met him would be happy, and he was not RMB.Besides, he really didn't want to see Qin Ce, very much.
"How could it be? I think His Highness will definitely feel cheerful when he sees Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang, please take pity on my eagerness to protect the lord and accompany me for a walk," Gao De pleaded.
Zhang Jiu was silent for a while and said, "Okay, Xiao Ning, you go back first, I will come as soon as I go."
"Thank you Mr. Zhang" Gao De immediately smiled.
When Zhang Jiu saw Qin Ce, Qin Ce was painting in his study, his stern pupils seemed to be imprisoned on the scroll.
Zhang Jiu felt conflicted when he didn't see him, but after seeing him, he didn't have so many worries. Looking at Qin Ce's colder handsome face than before, Zhang Jiu quickly took a step with his feet fixed in front of the door.
Looking up and seeing the long-lost face, the ice on Qin Ce's face melted a little, and he continued to finish his unfinished painting without opening his mouth.
Zhang Jiu looked at Qin Ce's painting. It was a landscape painting. He had no research on calligraphy and painting, but he thought that he would not be able to make such a painting. He thought Qin Ce's work should be very good.
After watching for a while, Zhang Jiu felt bored, and turned his gaze to the outside of the room, where the night was getting dark.
Just when Zhang Jiu felt sore legs, Qin Ce finally put down his paintbrush and walked around the desk to Zhang Jiu. Qin Ce asked, "What do you think of my paintings?"
Zhang Jiu walked to the table, didn't see why for a while, but still nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Where is it good?" There was a little smile in Qin Ce's eyes. Judging from Zhang Jiu's performance just now, he already knew that Zhang Jiu was not very familiar with paintings.
"Very good." Zhang Jiu tried hard to search for words related to paintings in his mind, "Looking at the mountains from a distance, they are colorful, and listening to the water is silent, so lifelike that they seem to be coming out."
Approaching Zhang Jiu, Qin Ce smelled the faint smell of alcohol between his breaths, "Have you been drinking?"
Perhaps because of the alcohol, Zhang Jiu's reaction was much slower than before. He was stunned for a while when he heard Qin Ce's question before nodding, "Well, I drank a little."
Staring at Zhang Jiu, Qin Ce felt as if a small cluster of flames had been ignited in his chest, completely igniting his anger for the past few days. Just so angry, how could he be like this? "Who did you drink with?"
"A friend" Zhang Jiu said in a daze.
a friend?Qin Ce felt even more angry. He would rather drink with others than come to him. Could it be that he is so unimportant in Zhang Jiu's eyes? "What friend?"
Zhang Jiu rolled his eyes, and finally realized that something was wrong. He looked at Qin Ce dully, but didn't quite understand why he was angry, "An ordinary friend, Xiao Ning introduced him today."
He was drinking with someone he just met today, but left himself behind, and Qin Ce's mood was getting worse and worse.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Jiu looked at the unhappy Qin Ce inexplicably, even if he didn't come to him, there was no need to show him such a face, right?
Qin Ce finally found out what was wrong with him. Wasn't it because Zhang Jiu was drinking with others and didn't come to him?This is not a big deal, why is his reaction so violent?This is very abnormal, Qin Ce suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and looked at Zhang Jiu's quiet opening, "I was just thinking, brother Puhua can still find someone to drink with, but I can only drink alone with the moon, I really don't like it." I am very envious of Brother Puhua"
The flickering candlelight illuminated the loneliness on Qin Ce's face, Zhang Jiu felt it was very dazzling, and wanted to drive away the expression on his face, "Is it not easy to want someone to drink with, if brother Heng wants to drink that day Yes, I will be there when you are called."
"I'm afraid I won't even know where brother Puhua is by then." Qin Ce's eyes dimmed.
Zhang Jiu blinked, remembering that he promised Qin Ce to come to him but failed to do so, he was a little embarrassed, "It won't happen this time, really."
"Brother Puhua won't break his promise again this time?"
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow, no more"
"I'd like to trust you again." Qin Ce smiled.
