Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 33

restore

After recuperating in Prince Lin’s Mansion for about ten days, Joey’s health really started to get better.

Joey was sitting in the pavilion of Baixiang Courtyard, looking at the book open in front of him and spinning the pen in his hand out of boredom.

“Squeak.”

There was sudden movement at the courtyard door. Joey’s eyes lit up and he turned his head.

Minghuan was holding a tray. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Joey’s bright eyes. She thought Joey was hungry. She was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the things in her hands and explained: “Sir, this is the rice paper that His Royal Highness ordered the servant to bring over. It is not for eating. If you are hungry, I will ask Minghua to get some snacks.”

Seeing that the person coming was Minghuan, Joey was a little disappointed. He shook his head, “It’s okay, I’m not hungry. What time is it now?”

Minghuan: “The moment of unitary hour.”

Joey: “When does Taixue finish school?”

Minghuan: “Shen Shi.”

Joey nodded, “Oh.”

It’s been so long, why hasn’t Lou Ling come back yet?

Minghuan didn’t know what Joey was thinking, he just thought Joey was tired.She put down the tray with rice paper in her hand and added some tea to the bottomed teacup on the table.

“Master, you can rest today, why bother yourself so much?”

“I’m fine, I’m not tired.” Joey shook his head and looked at the rice paper on the table, “What are you doing with these?”

Minghuan: “Sister Zhu Qing prepared these and asked the servant to bring them over. She said that His Highness the Crown Prince would use them when he comes over at night.”

In the past few days, Lou Ling had to watch him study every day after coming back from Taixue. Joey was used to it. He nodded casually to indicate that he understood.

“Young master’s injury has not fully healed yet. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me.” After explaining clearly the purpose of her visit, Minghuan did not forget to nag a few words. She was still very concerned about Joey’s injury last time because he did not accompany him to Taixue.

Joey was very helpless. He had said more than once these days that the injury was none of their business, but they obviously cared more about it than he did.

“I’m hungry, go and deliver dinner to me.” Joey didn’t want to continue listening to Minghuan’s nagging, so he changed the subject and asked Minghuan to leave.

After Minghuan left, Joey was the only one left in the whole yard.

Joey felt quite bored without Hei Pa by his side for so many days.

Joey wanted to bring the black handkerchief back, but Lou Ling wouldn’t let him go to Taixue. He couldn’t see Fang Qingzhou, so naturally he couldn’t bring the black handkerchief back.

“What should I say to get Lou Ling to take me to Taixue?” Joey said to himself.

Different from the resistance when he first came to the capital, Joey has been looking forward to going to Taixue all the time these days to see how Black Pa is doing.

Heipa’s leg was also broken, and Joey still remembered it.

“Fortunately, Zhang Wujing didn’t understand and stabbed him randomly.” Thinking of the black handkerchief, Joey also thought of the injuries on his body. He lowered his head, reached out and touched his abdomen, and couldn’t help but sigh, “Otherwise, I would have died long ago.”

After leaving Quanqing Palace, Joey clearly understood one thing. In the capital, in a feudal society that eats people without spitting out their bones, imperial power is more important than anything else. He could not live a satisfactory life here just by relying on a few letters sent by Qiao Yunlan from Jiangzhou.

Joey didn’t know what Qiao Yunlan was in the eyes of the emperor, but as a prime minister and a concubine, Joey knew that no matter what happened, the emperor would not take him seriously.

If Zhang Wujing has to be dealt with, the Zhang family will definitely get angry about it, but if Joey is eliminated, things will be much easier.

So Joey could understand why Xiao Ming lost his temper at him that day. After all, he was the best to deal with so many people.

But what Joey didn’t quite understand was that the Qiao family and the Queen Mother clearly chose to side with Qiao Yunlan and him, so why did the emperor choose to go against both sides? Moreover, according to Lou Ling, Zhang Wujing had even done something more egregious than stabbing him in Taixue. What kind of feelings could make the emperor be so tolerant to the Zhang family.

“What are you thinking about?”

Joey, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn’t notice a red figure appearing at the entrance of the courtyard behind him. He didn’t look back until he heard the sound.

It was dark, there were not many lanterns in the courtyard, and only the light on Joey’s side was brighter.

Looking from this side to that side, I only saw a looming figure hidden in the darkness, and I couldn’t even see its face clearly.

But Joey knew who it was when he heard the voice. He looked away with just one glance and said, “You’re back.”

“Yes.” Lou Ling responded, walked out of the darkness, and said as he walked over, “Why did you come out today?”

Joey: “I’m not a mouse. I like to huddle in dark corners where no one is around. If I don’t come out, I’ll get moldy if I stay in the house.”

Lou Ling sat opposite Joey and glanced downward, “Are you memorizing “The Fence Diary”?”

Joey folded his hands on the table and put his chin on the back of his hands, “Can you not memorize it? What if I can’t write a word again during the next semester exam, and the emperor will stare at me and scold me again.”

This time the exam is only for the royal children and study companions of Taixue, but the next semester exam is equivalent to the provincial unified examination in the previous life. All schools and private schools in the capital must be assessed together, including Taixue and the Imperial College.

Although Joey’s grades as a student in his previous life were not bad and he could memorize all the ancient Chinese and poetry, the key point was that this dynasty did not exist at all in his previous life.Joey had never even heard of many ancient texts that were popular in the world, let alone being able to recite them fluently.

If it was just a matter of arithmetic, Joey would rely on the methods he had learned before to write a little bit. But as for reciting and dictating ancient Chinese, if he didn’t remember it, he really didn’t remember it, and he couldn’t write even half a word.

Seeing the frustration on Joey’s face, Lou Ling reached out and picked up a note that Joey had finished copying in front of him.

After looking at it twice, Lou Ling let it go.

Joey watched Lou Ling’s movements, his eyes following his hands moving up and down. Finally, he saw Lou Ling casually throw away the note he had been copying for half an hour. He snatched the thing back with one hand and said very dissatisfied: “What’s that look in your eyes? No matter how stupid I am, I can’t even memorize this note, right?”

Lou Ling casually glanced at Joey’s writing hand and said calmly: “There is nothing wrong with writing the article, it’s just your words…”

“What happened to my handwriting?” Joey was very unconvinced and turned around to slap the article on Lou Ling’s face.

But when he turned his head, he saw the fonts on the paper that were as crooked as earthworms. Joey was speechless for a moment, silently looking at the article he had copied himself.

The content is good, but the words… are so ugly that people can’t even see it.

“It seems you are not so self-aware.” Seeing the silence on Joey’s face, Lou Ling couldn’t help but mock.

Joey: “Get lost.”

In his only twenty years of life, Joey wrote exclusively with pen calligraphy. The few times he used a brush were in calligraphy classes, and he was still five or six years old.What is the difference between asking him to write beautiful calligraphy with calligraphy in a month, and asking a child who is learning to speak to read an obscure article fluently and smoothly in a few days?

Joey lay helplessly on the table, tilted his head and looked at Lou Ling, “What do you think will happen if I run away now?”

Lou Ling: “Run?”

Joey: “Leave the capital.”

Lou Ling: “You want to leave?”

Joey: “I’m not as noble as you. I have a royal father and a concubine whose family is the richest in Dayong. I’m just a little guy. If the Qiao family and the Queen Mother don’t care about me, then I’ll really be slaughtered in the capital.”

Lou Ling: “Aren’t you in Prince Lin’s Mansion now?”

Joey raised his eyes and glanced at Lou Ling. Although he didn’t say it out loud, the meaning in his eyes was not concealed at all.

“You don’t believe me?”

Joey snorted coldly. They had been together for so long. If he still didn’t understand Lou Ling’s character, then his brain would have been in vain.

“I believe you might as well believe that a sow can climb a tree.”

Joey wouldn’t say 100%, but he could guarantee that there was at least a 95% chance that this person wanted to use him for something, but the purpose hadn’t been clearly revealed yet.

Lou Ling was not angry when he heard what Joey said. He picked up the teacup on the table and said, “What about Qiao Yunlan? You don’t care about her?”

Joey: “Anyway, I’m not my mother’s biological son. She definitely doesn’t have much affection for me. Even if I leave, she will remember me for a few days at most and then forget about me.”

Lou Ling: “Really?”

Joey: “Otherwise? How can I be worth her trouble?”

Lou Ling raised her hand, pressed her lips against the wall of the cup and took a sip of tea, “Today my mother’s letter was sent from Jiangzhou. She will return to Beijing from Jiangzhou in two days.”

“Oh.” Joey knew that Lou Ling’s birthday was still more than half a month away, so he was not surprised when he heard the news.

“Qiao Yunlan will also return to Beijing.”

“Oh…huh?” Joey thought he heard wrongly. He immediately straightened up and asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”

Although he stayed in the capital for a short time, Joey already knew everything he should know, so he knew why Qiao Yunlan sent him to the capital, and he also understood why Qiao Yunlan chose to stay in Jiangzhou.

But Joey didn’t expect that Qiao Yunlan, who had persisted for more than ten years, would return to Beijing so suddenly this time.

Joey: “Why did she come back?” Hasn’t he been asked to come to the capital?

Hearing this, Lou Ling glanced down at Joey’s injured abdomen, “Maybe it’s for you?”

Joey: “How is that possible?”

The more he knew about the past, the harder it became for Joey to believe that Qiao Yunlan would really treat him as his own child.

Lou Ling didn’t say much. He directly changed the topic, “I heard you talking to yourself when I came in. What were you thinking about?”

Speaking of this, Joey almost forgot and said, “My injury is almost healed. Can you take me to Taixue?”

Lou Ling obviously knew what Joey wanted to do. He raised his eyes and asked, “Just for that cat?”

Joey: “What do you mean just for it? That is my life and death friend, okay? I might not be able to sit here without it!”

Lou Ling: “How do you know it’s still in Taixue?”

Joey: “I asked Fang Qingzhou to help take care of it. Where else could it be if I wasn’t in Taixue?”

Lou Ling: “Who told you that Fang Qingzhou is still living in Zhuoqing Courtyard?”

“?” Joey felt very strange, “You never told me that he no longer lives in Taixue. Besides, where can Fang Qingzhou live if he doesn’t live in Taixue now?”

Lou Ling remained silent, leaving Joey alone with confusion.
