Chapter 16: Sister Lin Finds Out the Secret, and Jia Yucun Visits the Government Office in the Night
For two days in a row, Sun Shaozong accompanied Jia Lian who was busy running outside. He helped him 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 yet. 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 was still a lady of a noble family when eating. She did not show her teeth and chewed carefully. In the eyes of Sun Shaozong, Ruan Rong was 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 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 listened, but she was still a little ignorant. Sun Shaozong had to break it up, 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 would 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 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 was a big evening, especially since they have to leave tomorrow morning. Why would 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 gotten 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!"
