"Come on, come in first." Xiao Jingrui jumped out of the carriage, took the child down, and ordered the servants who came to greet him: "Go and ask for a doctor."

Mei Changsu then bent down and came out, dragging the heavy bag of books in his hand, wondering how he could hold this little child.

"I'll get it." As soon as Xiao Jingrui walked over, an attentive servant rushed to catch it. He stretched out his arm and let Mei Changsu support him as he jumped off the carriage.

Tingsheng quickly glanced at the plaque with the words "Ning Guohou's Mansion" above the door of the mansion, and a dark cloud flashed in his eyes. Although he quickly lowered his head again, this change in his expression still did not escape Mei Changsu.

s eyes.

I took the child to the snowy hut, and the doctor quickly came over to diagnose and treat him. He concluded that the ribs were misaligned and he needed to rest, eat nutritious food, and never do physical work again, otherwise his young body would be damaged.

There will inevitably be some sequelae.

Looking at Tingsheng's look, he knew that the environment he was living in must be very bad. If he was allowed to go back like this, he would probably not be able to do even one of the two medical orders. But no matter how Xiao Jingrui interrogated him, Tingsheng would not reveal a single word about him.

Where exactly do you live?

In contrast, Mei Changsu was not so impatient. He just sent someone to bring exquisite food to Tingsheng and let him sleep and rest. Later, seeing that he was really restless and unable to sleep, he flipped through a book bit by bit.

Examine his current level of knowledge.

"You don't have a master to teach you how to read, do you?"

"Um."

"Who taught you how to read?"

"My mother."

Mei Changsu pondered for a moment. It seems that although this child has a desire to learn, his studies are obviously very superficial and messy. Even the pile of books he bought are disorganized and have different depths. He does not look like a learned person.

Most of the books he opened were chosen by him as a matter of course, but he didn't know where the money for the books came from.

"Tingsheng, this is not how you study." Mei Changsu patiently organized a lot of books for him, took out many from his room, and marked them in order, "You have to read these books first.

These are the foundation of this book. The writing style is the most concise and clear, and the principles of human conduct are also clear. Just like building a house, the foundation must be straight so that the top will not be crooked. If you read blindly, you will not be able to understand the true meaning, and it will only shift.

There are also these books. They are good books, but you are young and may not be able to recognize all the words. You will not be able to understand them without someone explaining them. Put them away for now. If you have a chance in the future, just come and ask me."

Tingsheng's eyes lit up immediately, but then dimmed again. He instinctively knew that the elder brother in front of him must be a very knowledgeable person, but it was simply impossible to come to this deep house to ask him for advice.

.

"Thank you," Tingsheng stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them, "Can I go?"

"You kid..." Xiao Jingrui looked at him with a headache, "You already have a lot of books, but now Mr. Su has given you so many books, how can you take them away?"

Tingsheng looked at the mountain-like pile of books and really didn't want to take down any of them, so he gritted his teeth and said bravely: "I can handle it."

"Don't act recklessly," Xiao Jingrui quickly stopped him, "You are injured, but you can't use brute force like this. Shall I send someone to take you away?"

Tingsheng shook his head firmly.

Xiao Jingrui couldn't help but cast his helpless eyes on Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu thought for a while and was about to speak when a clear sound suddenly came from outside the snow hut. It was Fei Liu's voice, and then someone shouted: "Young master, you can't hit this... this is..."

"Break in and fight!" Fei Liu replied coldly, and the sound of his clothes breaking through the air became louder.

"Who are you? You dare to stop me..." Someone else yelled angrily, but then his voice stopped, probably because he was forced by Fei Liu's offensive and couldn't speak at all.

"Go out and there will be no fighting!" Fei Liu probably got Mei Changsu's orders and did not kill him, but his tone was as cold as ice and there was no room for change.

Although Xiao Jingrui did not recognize who the man who was blocked outside was, he immediately ran out. A moment later, his voice came: "Feiliu, don't fight, this is a guest and can come in.

"

"I didn't say yes! Get out!" Fei Liu insisted.

Mei Changsu couldn't help but frowned slightly. Except for a few people Fei Liu already knew, when guests came to visit, servants would come in and announce them. If they wanted to see him, he would first tell Fei Liu not to stop him, so it never happened.

What kind of conflict had there been? This guest obviously rushed in from the outside relying on a certain identity. Not only did the servants not dare to stop him, they didn't even have time to notify him first, so they provoked Fei Liu and were intercepted by him.

Mei Changsu would never meet such a rude guest.

Just as he was about to say thank you, his eyes turned and fell on Tingsheng.

The child's face was pale, his head was raised and his mouth was open, listening to what was going on outside. His hands were twisted together so tightly that they were almost deformed by themselves.

Mei Changsu's heart suddenly changed, and he immediately changed his mind and said: "Fei Liu, let him come in!"

The sound of fighting stopped abruptly, and Xiao Jingrui's voice sounded immediately, with a very polite tone: "You are not hurt, are you? Why did you rush in like this? Is there something urgent? My father is not at home, how about I accompany you?

Waiting in the main hall..."

"I'm not here to see Mr. Xie," the man said as he rushed into the snowy hut. He met Mei Changsu's light and slightly cold gaze. He involuntarily froze in his tracks and cast his eyes around.

, seeing Tingsheng standing there calmly, he calmed down and asked: "Ting'er, are you okay?"

"Yes." Tingsheng responded in a respectful low voice.

"Do you know this kid?" Xiao Jingrui, who followed in, asked hurriedly.

"Jing Rui," the man turned around and said seriously, "I heard that this kid accidentally bumped into the nobleman's car on the street, which may have shocked your important guests. No wonder you are angry. But what did he say?

He's just a child, please, for my sake, let him make an apology to your guest and let him go?"

Xiao Jingrui looked at him and reacted for a while. It was not until Mei Changsu laughed that he started laughing: "Your Highness probably misunderstood. Tingsheng did not hit my car. We met him while passing by."

Bring it back to diagnose the injury. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Ting Sheng.”

The man was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Tingsheng's expression. Thinking about Xiao Jingrui's usual behavior, he knew that what he said was true, and he looked a little embarrassed at the moment.

"I really didn't know it was His Highness Prince Jing who arrived," Mei Changsu slowly stood up and saluted, "Feiliu offended me just now, please forgive me."

Xiao Jingrui hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing, this is Mr. Su Zhesu."

Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan, the seventh son of the emperor, is thirty-one years old this year. He is a tall and tall young man. His appearance is not much different from that of his brothers. However, because he has been leading troops all year round, he has a bit of resoluteness in addition to the nobility of the royal family.

The skin on his face and hands was not as delicate as that of other princes. Hearing Su Zhe's name, he did not show any special expression. He probably just returned the gift politely because of Xiao Jingrui's solemn introduction.

On the contrary, Mei Changsu looked at him more carefully and carefully with his calm and casual expression.

"Is Tingsheng from His Highness Prince Jing's residence?" Xiao Jingrui asked immediately after inviting the guests to sit down.

"...Uh...no..." Prince Jing looked a little embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to express his words, "Tingsheng now...lives in Yeyouting..."

"Ye You Ting?" Xiao Jingrui never thought of this place, so he blurted out, "Isn't that the place where the punished palace slaves live? He is so young, what crime did he commit to be locked up there?"

Tingsheng's lips were pursed into lines as hard as iron, and there was no blood on his face.

"He was detained with his mother and was born there." Prince Jing knew that Xiao Jingrui could easily find out even if he didn't tell him, so he simply said quickly, "If nothing happens, let him go back quickly. In Yeyouting

According to palace rules, people are not allowed to spend the night outside. His mother must be very anxious now..."

"Do you know his mother?" Xiao Jingrui actually knew that he shouldn't ask any more questions, but he really couldn't restrain his curiosity. Prince Jing's main concubine passed away many years ago, and now he only has two concubines by his side, and no concubines.

Compared with other princes who are full of beautiful women, he is really an outlier. Maybe it is because he has a soft spot for falling in love with a guilty palace slave. If you think further, this child may be...

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingrui felt that his imagination was in danger of getting close to Yan Yujin, so he stopped it abruptly and smiled sheepishly.

Prince Jing was several years older, had much more experience, and was smart. He could tell where Xiao Jingrui had gone with just a glance, but he had no intention of clarifying it. He had only accidentally discovered Tingsheng's existence a few years ago.

, the child was really tortured into human form at that time. Although he used his power to stop him from being beaten in recent years, he could not be completely protected. Therefore, every time he left Beijing to patrol the border, he would inevitably feel worried.

I had only been back in Beijing for a few days, and I was busy with some affairs at the Ministry of War. I finally had time to visit him, but I heard that a friend of his in the same court said that he had gotten into trouble on the street, so I hurriedly asked him about it.

Save him, luckily nothing happened.

"I was reckless when I broke into the Marquis Mansion without permission. I will apologize another day." Prince Jing said no more, stood up and winked at Tingsheng, "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first..."

Before he finished speaking, Mei Changsu suddenly started coughing. At first, he seemed to be suppressing it forcefully, but then the coughing became more and more severe, as if his internal organs were being torn apart, and veins popped out all over his forehead, oozing out like soybeans.

Although Xiao Jingrui had known him for many days, he had never seen him cough like this. He suddenly panicked and hurriedly came over to pat his back, but it was of no use. When he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, he felt that

His forehead was hot, but his cheeks were cold. He was even more frantic, shouting at the top of his lungs to call for a doctor. Even Fei Liu rushed over, holding Mei Changsu's trembling body, speechless like a frightened child.

, can only shout "ah, ah".

After a long time, Mei Changsu slowly calmed down, and he moved the handkerchief covering his mouth slightly, and a dazzling blood stain flashed, and he was caught in it. Xiao Jingrui had seen it a long time ago, and felt sad for a while, but

She didn't say anything, but just whispered in his ear: "Brother Su, do you want to take a pill of Mr. Xun's medicine?"

"No need." Mei Changsu Nuqi adjusted his breathing and smiled at Chao Fei, "I'm just coughing. Fei Liu is not afraid. Fei Liu can just help Brother Su beat his back at night..."

"Fei Liu slaps his back!"

"That's right, with us Fei Liu beating his back, nothing will happen to Brother Su..."

Prince Jing had been watching from the side, whether he wanted to leave or not. Seeing that Su Zhe had calmed down, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him slowly: "Why is Mr. Su sick?"

Mei Changsu slowly rolled his eyes and found Tingsheng, who was staring blankly with his eyes wide open. He smiled slightly and waved to him: "Tingsheng, come here."

Tingsheng glanced at Prince Jing. Although he didn't quite understand, he still walked slowly to the bench.

"Tingsheng, would you like me to teach you how to read?"

Tingsheng was startled and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Prince Jing frowned and said, "Mr. Su, Tingsheng is from Yeyouting..."

"I know," Mei Changsu said, probably because he coughed so hard just now, there was still a layer of moisture in his eyes, but his gaze became even hotter because of this, "I just ask you, are you willing?"

"

Tingsheng's chest rose and fell sharply twice. Somehow, he suddenly felt that this must be an opportunity, so he gritted his teeth, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "I do!"
