Chapter 102: Awkward
"Brother Hou, I'll do it, I'll do it."
"Hey, Brother Hou, just sit still and I'll get it. You want to drink water, right? Just tell me. I'll run errands for you."
"Brother Hou, it's so cold today. You'd better not come out. We can handle this small place in Chen County. You don't need to take action."
…
After the attack, Xi Yan began to serve Hou Yi like this, making Hou Yi extremely awkward. Sometimes he even subconsciously avoided Xi Yan and called him "Brother Hou".
This time outside Chen County City, when Qingzhang was checking things, Xi Yan ran back and forth, saying "Brother Hou", which made Hou Yi completely awkward and couldn't stay any longer. He walked up to Su Zijin and said, "Miss, is this guy?
Don't you have good intentions? Do you want me to beat him up?"
After hearing this, Su Zijin thought for a while and nodded, "Don't put on a sack at night, don't use too much force, just leave a skin wound on him, the focus is on the face."
Hou Yi understood, "Yes, I understand, just don't leave any marks on your face so that others can see it."
Su Zijin glared at Hou Yi, "There are just a few people, and you still don't leave traces. Is it useful? Everyone can guess who did it when he was beaten. Since he was beaten, everyone must see it."
You can tell he was beaten."
Hou Yi said a long "Oh~" and nodded in agreement, "Yes, I just want everyone to know. Since we fought off those bandits last time, the fourth prince even praised our bravery, which makes him so happy.
Yan started to act strangely. Today I have to show him the fate of others."
Seeing Hou Yi gritting his teeth, Su Zijin couldn't help but remind him, "Take it easy."
Hou Yi rubbed his wrist and looked at Xi Yan who was busy in the field with a sinister look, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion for his small body."
So, early in the morning on the second day in Chen County, everyone who was having breakfast in the hall opened their eyes wide and saw the miserable condition of Xi Yan, with a pair of panda eyes and a limp.
Xi Yan faced everyone's gaze, walked behind Qin Jing, pointed at Hou Yi and said to Su Zijin, "Miss Su, do you care? Look at how he beat me."
Su Zijin swallowed the porridge in his mouth and looked up at Xi Yan, "Oh? Hou Yi hit you, why did he hit you?"
"He—" Xi Yan opened his mouth to say that he couldn't be angry, but he held it back. Why he couldn't be angry? It wasn't because of his weird tone and behavior.
Xi Yan couldn't open his mouth and felt aggrieved. He couldn't have received a beating in vain, right? He looked at Su Zijin and said, "I know he thinks my words are weird, but if you have something to say, why do you do anything?"
Even if Miss Su and her men are extremely powerful, they can't just beat people up, right?"
As soon as Xi Yan's words fell, the lobby of the inn, which had been lively just now, instantly fell silent. Everyone had different eyebrows. People on both sides had grudges because of the unexpected force shown by Miss Su and her men that time. This time Xi Yan
If so, it can be regarded as making this matter clear.
This is also human nature.
When you are young, you can worship others without any grudges and cheer for them when you are young. But when you grow up, when you face the abilities of others, especially those that exceed your own, your mood will become very complicated. If someone who has nothing to do with you has strong abilities,
, it’s just a few sarcastic words. If the people around you show strong ability, they will unconsciously think of you first. If he is so powerful, will others think I am useless? If he is great, he will show off.
What? He is great as long as he is powerful, what is he hiding? What is the purpose of hiding him?
When I was a child and when I grew up, when faced with the same thing and the same person, the more I thought about it, the more complicated the world would become.
As you become more complicated, you will also wonder what other people’s intentions are.
After hearing Xi Yan's words, Qin Jing frowned for a moment and was stopped by Su Zijin. Su Zijin looked at Xi Yan and said, "Since you know you have something to say, why should you be so arrogant? Since you choose not to say it well, then Hou Yi
Even if he beats you, you won't be able to blame him or say anything nice to him."
After hearing this, Xi Yan had nothing to say and stood behind Qin Jing holding his breath, turning his head and not looking at the crowd.
Hou Yi spoke at the right time, "Brother Yan called me Brother Hou, and I acted like a big brother. I couldn't hold back my anger and did something last night. It was my fault, and I will apologize to you."
Xi Yan's face softened a little. Hou Yi continued, "Everyone's intestines are in the skin, and no one can see them. Maybe Brother Yan is just in a moment of anger and has no other intention. But I have heard more,
It is inevitable that I will feel angry. Just like Brother Yan said, if there is anything wrong, just say it so that others will not misunderstand. After all, we are from martial arts backgrounds, so we dare not say whether we are capable or not, but our fists and feet are much faster than others."
After hearing this, Xi Yan thoughtfully raised his hands and said, "I was at fault first, Brother Hou, don't worry too much. I know in my heart that Brother Hou actually didn't put any effort into it."
When Xi Yan called out "Brother Hou", he no longer had the yin and yang aura of the past, but was more sincere.
The other guards of the four princes in the hall were also silent and embarrassed. They looked at Su Zijin's guard with a hint of sincere admiration. In fact, if you put it aside, it was just like that.
Prejudices in people's hearts are like invisible shackles that gradually bind the young man's heart into the shape of an adult.
Su Zijin used to not understand why everyone looked so cute when he was a child, but when he grew up, he would become a regular, rigid, formal, serious, jealous, petty, mean and narrow-minded person with all kinds of people.
If you have a little bit of the tolerance and objectivity of your childhood, you are a rare adult.
Just like Xi Yan and Hou Yi, when nothing happens, the two brothers are good, but when something happens, yin and yang and even suspicion come out.
Su Zijin will try not to let himself see people with all kinds of so-called "experiences", but sometimes he can't avoid it. Looking at a person's appearance and movements, he will subconsciously define this person, "Oh, she (he)
What kind of person is he?"
Aren't all adults subconsciously biased because of their "blood ties"? Outside of blood, there are outsiders who need to be weighed. When the standard of right and wrong becomes complex and changeable as we grow up, the relationship between the distance and the distance is that of different people.
Changing standards.
Su Zijin looked at Qin Jing, so she needed to first settle on the name of "unmarried couple" and circle them as her own before she would show any favoritism.
"Let's go."
Qin Jing watched everyone reconcile, looked at Su Zijin and said.
Su Zijin nodded, "Let's go."
Everyone stood up, they still had business to do today.
After encountering bandits a few days ago, Qin Jing thought that something might happen to Li County's memorial. He had already sent back two memorials to Baima Mansion through the inn and his own guards. It is estimated that there will be news in the next few days.
, if they are to assist in the investigation of bandits, they need to complete this imperial order as soon as possible before they can free up time. It is already the end of winter, and Qin Jing cannot really let Su Zijin, a hair-haired client, miss his coming-of-age ceremony.
