For two days in a row, Sun Shaozong accompanied Jia Lian who was busy running outside. He helped him and settle a lot of errands. He was more proficient in taking care of people and things than Jia Lian himself, unlike a 19-year-old young martial artist.
After this incident, Jia Lian's evaluation of him naturally raised several points. His attitude has also changed from the warmth of meeting an old friend in a foreign land to the intimacy of making friends sincerely. Although both of these attitudes have the word ‘heat’, they are different.
As a result, the first and last errands that were originally scheduled to take five or six days to be processed were all cleared up by the afternoon of the third day.
So Jia Lian took Sun Shaozong for another drink to ‘relieve fatigue’, and while he was 70% drunk, he announced his decision to set out early tomorrow morning to return to the Capital.
Although the whole family had already made preparations, they still couldn't help being busy with the details. Sun Shaozong took a break from his busy schedule and led Ruan Rong to the streets.
Ruan Rong originally wanted to take Daiyu out with her. At the same time, Ruan Rong also wanted her smart, god-sister to see the character and appearance of her lover, so that she wouldn't guess all day.
However, although Daiyu was not rigidly bound by the common customs and laws, after all, she was in mourning, and it was not 100 days. How could she show up in front of people in hemp clothes and filial piety?
Thus, she had to refuse reluctantly and said it was not too late to see her brother-in-law when they boarded the ship tomorrow.
On the other hand, Sun Shaozong took Ruan Rong out of the government office, talking and laughing all the way, regardless of the eyes of others.
The two first visited the Slender West Lake, then they headed over to the Daming Temple to pray at the Buddha. Seeing that Ruan Rong was a little tired, they found a small shop selling spice-dried tea by the river. They sat by the window, tasting the delicious snacks and chatting aimlessly.
Although Ruan Rong has the unique heroism of a fragrant woman, she is still a lady of a noble family when eating. She does not show her teeth and chews carefully. In the eyes of Sun Shaozong, Ruan Rong is even more conservative.
He couldn't help thinking in his heart that he had cheated to hold her hand that day, but he didn't know when he could coax on her crimson lips to have a long and decent kiss.
When he was thinking about it, he noticed Ruan Rong's actions of poking the dried tea on the plate with her chopsticks. Her face looked like she had something to say, but was hesitant. Her eyebrows were even sadder.
Looking at this, Sun Shaozong immediately throws his dirty thoughts away. He reached out to hold her hand and asked with concern, "What's the matter? Are you feeling a little homesick?"
Ruan Rong shook her head, then bite on her Sakura-like lips, but nodded again. After a few seconds, she hesitated and said, "Brother Sun, are those assassins really... All from the State of Zhen?"
When Sun Shaozong heard the speech, he felt a chill in his heart. He knew that the key point of her words was the word ‘really’, which she swallowed back when he was talking halfway about it. It is obvious that she was suspicious of the assassins' origins!
However, along the way, they also recalled the original events several times, but Ruan Rong was not half suspicious. Now that she suddenly points out this part, it really is strange.
After Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, he had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure, so he gently rubbed Ruan Rong's palm and said with a smile, "We will stay together forever. There are no confidential things that cannot be said, must you be hesitant or secretive to ask?"
Ruan Rong couldn't hide anything in her heart. She was so excited that she hurriedly poured out everything, "Last night, when I was chatting with sister Lin, she saw that there was no one around, and suddenly pulled me and said that after two days of deliberation, she thought that the assassins' acts were quite strange. It seemed that they deliberately framed the State of Zhen. Maybe... Maybe it was a trick set up by our State of Qian Xiang, wanting to let the Great Zhou Dynasty support the Kingdom of Qian Xiang to annex the State of Zhen!"
Tch~
Indeed, Lin Daiyu saw the flaw!
Recently, Ruan Rong has been living in the back house. Besides Daiyu and her servant, she hasn’t seen other people. But considering Daiyu's age, she’s incredible.
At present, Lin Daiyu is indeed the one who has the aura of a leading role. She had a heart of wisdom and is more careful and alert than the minds of many adults at a young age.
It’s just that he doesn't know what kind of person Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu are, who is as famous as she is.
While feeling sorry for himself, Sun Shaozong suddenly felt the back of his hand tighten, it was Ruan Rong who grasped it with her backhand and asked nervously with a strained face, "Sister Lin, a little girl, can see the fishiness in it. It's not a big deal that there are so many talented people in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If someone were to see the flaw, won’t the two countries start a war because of it!"
Hearing the speech, Sun Shaozong burst into laughter.
No wonder she was so hesitant just now. Her feelings were that she was worried that the two countries might have a war, and she was caught between them!
Originally, he wanted to tease her, but when he saw that she was so nervous that her little hands were green, he couldn't bear to tease her again.
So he just stretched out his hand and gently twisted it on her face and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not so easy to start a war between countries. Apart from other things, there are Mongols and barbarians in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Japanese pirates and barbarians in the South are rampant in the sea. They can't take any action against the Kingdom of Qian Xiang."
Ruan Rong listened, but she was still a little ignorant. Sun Shaozong had to break it up and rub it down again, and instill his thoughts into her little by little.
Seeing that Ruan Rong's face was smiling again, Sun Shaozong was relieved this time. Just after he took the teacup and moistened his throat, Ruan Rong said with a smile, "Brother Sun, your words are much more thorough than sister Lin's analysis, I'll see when I get back, if that girl still dares to look down on people."
With her intimacy with Lin Daiyu these days, Daiyu will never underestimate her. In this way, Ruan Rong's anger should be complaining about Sun Shaozong.
Tch~
It is predicted that Lin Daiyu thought that he had been kept in the dark by the Qian Xiang people all the time, so her words showed some contempt.
Thinking of his IQ, he was probably despised by an 11-year-old girl. Sun Shaozong smiled, but he didn't care about anything. He brushed the tip of Ruan Rong's nose and said with a smile, "Are you that glorious to compare me with a little girl?"
Ruan Rong thought it was the same. Her lover was a great man who even the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was shocked. What was there to compare with a little girl?
However, she still had to show off her lover's wisdom in front of Daiyu when she returned.
They had traveled around the city of Yangzhou, visited all kinds of scenery, and tasted all kinds of snacks. When they came back, it was already dark.
After entering the corner gate, Ruan Rong rushes to find Lin Daiyu to bring out the facts and reasons. Sun Shaozong originally wanted to go back to his guest room, but on the way, he saw a small living room in the backyard of the government office, which was brightly lit. It seems that Jia Lian is having a banquet.
This big evening, especially since they have to leave tomorrow morning, why will there be a guest at this time?
Because he was curious, he looked a few more times. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Jia Lian’s servant. He bumped up from afar and said with a smile, "Isn’t it a coincidence. My Second Master Lian was just talking about you, and you’ve come back. Please come inside!"
In the past few days, Sun Shaozong had been used to mixing with several servants. He was too lazy to beat around the bush. He pointed to the living room with his chin and asked, "Did some distinguished guests arrive?"
"What distinguished guests?"
Xing'er said with disdain and complacency, "Jia Yucun was originally just an impoverished family, but later, they stuck up and joined the Jia family. Relying on the help of our second master and uncle, he managed to become a prefect of Jinling! Who knows, in recent years, he has climbed up to The Prince and was about to be promoted to the Prime Minister of the Shuntian mansion. Now he comes sticking up again, wanting to return to the capital with our second master!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
