Chapter 805 Disaster Relief, Princess Ji Ling and the Boy
Yun Mujiu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked intently at Princess Ji Ling, whose face was troubled.
Meng Ninglang noticed that Princess Ji Ling seemed to have something to say to Yun Mujiu, and said sympathetically: "Mujiu, Princess Ji Ling, you guys chat first, I'll go for a walk in the front yard."
Princess Ji Ling raised her head and said softly, "No need. It's fine for Master Meng to be here."
Facing Yun Mujiu's gaze, "Mujiu, first tell me how old is Jiang Chi?"
Yun Mujiu held up his chin and said, "About 24 years old."
"By the way, the age written on his household registration is true. He should be twenty-four and a half now."
"Yeah." Princess Ji Ling nodded, a strange emotion flashed across her face.
"Ji Ling, please tell me quickly, what happened?" Yun Mujiu was concerned about her little sister and directly climbed onto Princess Ji Ling's shoulders.
Princess Ji Ling was two years older than Yun Mujiu, but a little shorter than Yun Mujiu. At this moment, Yun Mujiu looked like a big sister who was teaching her little sister.
Yun Mujiu said, "You suddenly came with me to visit Jiang Chi, and asked about Jiang Chi's age, and now you're saying that you can't find someone. Could it be that the person you're looking for might be Jiang Chi?"
"I..." Princess Ji Ling stamped her feet and bit her lip: "Forget it, I'll tell you."
Yun Mujiu looked around. There were two guards at the gate of the courtyard and no one else was walking around.
"Let's not talk here, let's go to the flower hall."
The servants brewed a pot of scented tea, and Yun Mujiu and others sat down.
Although it was a separate courtyard for patients and some female doctors, it had all the necessary decorations, and the flower hall was also decorated in a rather grand manner. Beside the tables and chairs made of fine pear wood, there were many potted flowers of the season.
However, Princess Ji Ling had no time to appreciate the new environment. She spoke slowly with a stern face.
She heard about Yun Mujiu's treatment of Jiang Chi, and also learned from Yun Mujiu that Jiang Chi's appearance and temperament were not like those of ordinary people. That's why she wanted to come and see what kind of person Jiang Chi was.
Regarding Yun Mujiu's question, "Could the person you are looking for be Jiang Chi?" her answer was - "No".
If Yun Mujiu hadn't told her Jiang Chi's age, she would have guessed whether Jiang Chi was the person she was looking for, but after she learned Jiang Chi's real age, she knew completely that Jiang Chi was not that person.
The person she wants should be only 23 years old this year. In addition, Jiang Chi is from Jiangnan, not from the north...
Yun Mujiu handed Princess Ji Ling a cup of flower tea and said softly, "Perhaps, if you talk to me, having one more person to help you with reference will give you more hope of finding that person."
Princess Ji Ling smiled at Yun Mujiu and glanced at Meng Ninglang politely.
Meng Ninglang patted his chest and said, "Princess Ji Ling, don't worry! You are Mu Jiu's friend, which is equivalent to my friend. When friends are in need, we will naturally help them! By the way, I will never disclose your information!"
"Although I have just returned to the capital, I have a lot of connections, so I can try to help you check. In addition, I have some accumulated connections in the border areas, which may also come in handy."
Princess Ji Ling smiled gratefully at the cousins, slowly heaved a sigh of relief, and then told them about an experience she had in her early years.
When she was twelve years old, Princess Ji Ling had just celebrated her birthday. Thinking that she had never left the capital since she was a child, she wanted to take this opportunity to go out and see the world.
For this reason, she specially applied to the emperor for permission to leave the capital for a period of time. The emperor had no particular feelings for this gentle and introverted sister, and quickly approved her proposal.
She first went to some places in the north of the capital, and then went all the way south, experiencing the local customs and culture while broadening her horizons.
Three months later, she came to a state in the south of Zhongyue, where she encountered a flood that occurred rarely in a century.
The sudden flood severely disrupted the lives of local people, causing countless deaths and injuries and making people's lives miserable.
At that time, the local officials knew that she was a princess and wanted to send a ship to take her away. But she saw so many suffering people, so she stayed with the palace maids and guards she had brought out of the palace.
She concealed her princess identity and transformed herself into an ordinary woman with a veil, working hard to save lives and rebuild homes. There are many kind-hearted people who do the same as her.
The same thing happened to one of the young men, who was passing by the place on his study tour and was accidentally hit by a sudden flood while in his convoy.
She and her team were busy working nearby and saw the boy trapped in the tree from a distance. The boy was surrounded by surging floods, and several thin branches were shaky and almost washed away by the floods.
She led people to rescue the boy and his followers.
The boy thanked her and, after seeing the disaster, offered to stay and help.
In the days that followed, the two of them worked together to help the people overcome this difficult time.
They were usually too busy and had little time to chat with each other. Also, maybe it was because they were both too introverted, they rarely talked to each other or other people.
Therefore, she didn't have much information about the boy. She only knew that he was three years older than her, his last name was "Mu", and he was from the north.
When the disaster was almost over, she should have left the area, but for some reason she wanted to stay a little longer. Perhaps it was because she had gone through the difficulties together with the local people during this period of time and had developed some feelings for the people and scenery of this area, which made her feel reluctant to leave.
That night, she made up her mind to have a good chat with Mu. She thought about how to start the conversation all night. The young man was the first friend she met outside the capital, and even the first friend she made in twelve years. Although she was a princess, she had her own difficulties and difficulties. In the huge capital, she didn't have a true friend at that time.
She rehearsed in her mind for a long time, hoping that she would not appear to be timid the next day.
Princess Ji Ling stopped talking here and did not continue.
Yun Mujiu came back to his senses and asked, "What happened next?"
Princess Ji Ling shook her head slightly: "There is no later."
Yun Mujiu was listening intently, "How could there be no later? Didn't you plan to have a good chat with him the next day?"
Princess Ji Ling smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "That's the plan, but it may not be carried out in the direction I want."
"The next morning, I went to look for him, but couldn't find him after searching for a long time. Later, I learned from other residents that he had left the area the night the disaster ended. That was also the night I was thinking about how to talk to him."
Yun Mujiu was stunned. This was too much of a coincidence.
A shy girl spent so much time thinking about starting a conversation with her friend, only to find out in the end that while she was thinking about the topic, her friend just left without saying goodbye.
There must be something special about this, right?
