Adhere to the gentleman's principles

In the carriage back to the Marquis' Mansion, Li Ziyan looked at Zhao Junning holding the medical book in his arms and said, "Zhao Junning, are you going to sleep with the medical book in your arms?" Zhao Junning said, "Yes, smell this scent, the scent of the Medical Immortal."

After hearing this, Li Ziyan folded his hands over his chest and turned his head away without saying anything. After seeing Li Ziyan pack the medical books like this, Zhao Junning moved towards Li Ziyan and said, "Are you angry? Are you jealous because of a medical book? You are jealous of a book!"

Li Ziyan still said stubbornly: "I'm not that stingy. Just hold your medical book and smell it carefully. I don't have the scent of the Medical Immortal that the book has."

Zhao Junning smiled, stretched out her hand to Li Ziyan and held his face to look at her: "My dear, you are so cute, you are jealous of books."

Li Ziyan grabbed Zhao Junning's hand and said, "Who said I was jealous?"

Zhao Junning retracted her hand after hearing this, and Li Ziyan grabbed it and said, "Okay, okay, I'm jealous. If it weren't for Zhao Junning, you would be going to Jiaozhi with my mother tomorrow, and you wouldn't let me accompany you. You only have about ten hours to spend with me. Am I your husband or is that book your husband?"

Zhao Junning said in a teasing tone: "So my husband is really jealous. Don't be angry. I just wanted to hug the book more when I saw it. After all, she is a medical fairy. But if you want to be my husband, it must be you. After all, a book is not a person."

Li Ziyan said, "After all, I am not as important as the book. Don't you miss me when you go to Jiaozhi?" Zhao Junning said, "I haven't left yet. I am still with you!"

Li Ziyan looked at Zhao Junning: "Zhao Junning, how can you be so heartless! Forget it, you can't see it now anyway, you will understand when you grow up." Zhao Junning smiled and said: "I don't understand? What do you mean? Do you think I'm too young?" Li Ziyan said: "That's not it."

Zhao Junning said, "You are not much older than me. It is March now and I am about three months away from being fifteen. I am also grown up. How come you don't understand? You are still eight months away from being seventeen. I can catch up with you in age."

Li Ziyan laughed out loud at Zhao Junning's words: "What are you calculating? How can you calculate like that? No matter how hard I try, you are still two years younger than me. That won't change."

Li Ziyan said seriously: "Hey, I remember someone called you Sister Zhao like this. How about I call you that today? Sister Zhao will leave your brother Li tomorrow. Will you miss me?" Zhao Junning was stunned and her ears turned red after hearing this.

Li Ziyan continued, "Sister Zhao, your ears and face are red. I'm asking you a question. Do you miss Brother Li?" Zhao Junning said slowly, "Don't make trouble."

Li Ziyan got closer and grabbed Zhao Junning's wrist and asked, "Brother didn't make a fuss. Will you miss it if you tell me? I remember that day when my mother-in-law had her birthday, the guests who came called you Zhao's sister, huh? Will you miss it?" Zhao Junning tried to move but was pulled back into Li Ziyan's arms. Zhao Junning lowered her voice and said, "Yes...I will miss it."

Li Ziyan was very happy after hearing this: "Sister misses me, and I am very happy. How about I give my sister a reward?" Zhao Junning looked up at Li Ziyan and asked, "What reward?"

Li Ziyan moved his head closer to Zhao Junning's head, lifted Zhao Junning's chin and slowly moved closer to kiss her. The atmosphere in the carriage became warmer. Zhao Junning didn't dare to move or breathe deeply. The two looked at each other, their breaths intertwined. After looking at each other for a long time, Li Ziyan sat up straight and said, "Forget it, you go to Jiaozhi and take care of yourself. Don't be hungry. I... I'll wait for you at home."

Zhao Junning breathed heavily, and Li Ziyan also gasped for air, and then said: "Junning just..." Zhao Junning recovered and said: "It's okay, we are husband and wife, there is nothing abrupt, and you didn't do anything, and these things will be done in the future, but... but you were indeed a little reckless today."

After hearing this, Li Ziyan thought: It is indeed a bit reckless, but let it go before he is sure of his feelings. However, her heart almost jumped out of her throat when he approached her just now. Zhao Junning thought: Why is he so proactive, but fortunately he restrained himself.

After getting off the carriage, the two of them had adjusted themselves and walked back to the room in an upright manner. Fuling and Mo Yufeizhou followed behind and discussed, "What happened to the young master? Did he and the young lady have a quarrel or something?"

"I don't know, but one thing they definitely didn't quarrel with."

"why?"

"Didn't you see the two of them staring at each other after getting off the carriage? I think it must be that the young master made the young lady angry."

"I think it's possible, but it's been a long time since the uncle made the young lady angry. What did he do this time to make the young lady look so serious... Hey, look, they're holding hands."

"Hey, hey, come in. It looks like no one is arguing."

Fuling and Moyu looked at the flying boat: "What happened?"

Fei Zhou pretended to be teaching and said, "According to the script, you are full, sir."

Fuling and Mo Yu asked, "Are you full? You ate a lot back at the Zhao Mansion but you haven't digested it yet?"

Fei Zhou held his forehead and said, "You two are stupid. It's not who is full but who is full."

The two asked, "Which one?" Fei Zhou put two fingers close together and made a kissing gesture: "This one is full."

After hearing this, Fuling shouted, "What! The uncle kissed the young lady!"

The loud voice made Zhao Junning and Li Ziyan turn their heads to look. Mo Yu covered Fuling's mouth and smiled at them with Feizhou. Zhao Junning and Li Ziyan understood what was going on and continued to walk into the house. When they entered the house, Mo Yu let go of her hand and said, "Why are you making such a loud noise, young lady? The young master and the young lady are husband and wife, so what's wrong with them kissing?"

Fuling asked quietly, "But doesn't the son-in-law dislike the young lady?" Feizhou said, "Maybe they have grown in love over time. They have been married for more than three months, so they must have feelings for each other."

The next day, Zhao Junning and Xu Zhiwan left the mansion. Li Yin and Li Ziyan saw them off. Li Yin said, "Madam, please come back soon."

Xu Zhiwan said, "Don't worry." Li Ziyan walked up to Zhao Junning and said, "Zhao Junning, take care of yourself when you go to Jiaozhi! Remember to write to me." Zhao Junning nodded and said, "Don't worry, you've asked Mo Yu and Fei Zhou to follow you, and Fuling and my mother-in-law are also here, don't worry."

Li Ziyan said, "Well, remember to write to me." In his heart: I will miss you. Zhao Junning nodded and said, "Okay." Xu Gong said, "Sister, nephew and wife, please be safe."

Xu Zhiwan said, "I understand." Zhao Junning said, "Okay, uncle." After getting on the carriage, Li Ziyan stared at the carriage until it could no longer be seen.

Xu Gong said, "Are you still looking? Can you see your wife when she's gone far away?" Li Ziyan said, "I'm worried about her going so far away!" Li Yin said, "Don't worry, your mother is here, and Fei Zhou and Mo Yu'er's wife will be fine. Let's go in."

At the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Xinghui was shooting arrows. The housekeeper and a woman came over, and Yuan Xinghui put down the bow.

The woman bowed and said, "Miss." Yuan Xinghui nodded and said, "Grandma Liang, how come you have time to come to our house today?" Grandma Liang said, "Xinghui, you are almost 15 or 16 years old. Don't you plan to get married?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xinghui sneered: "Granny Liang, you have told me this more than ten times and my answer is always the same. If I, Yuan Xinghui, like someone, I will ask my father to rush back from Bingzhou to help me propose marriage without them having to come to my house to propose marriage."

Granny Liang said, "But, Miss, although what you said is true, it's not good for a girl like you to wield swords and guns! Liang Wuxie, the son of the Liang family in the west of Yangzhou Bianjing City, is nineteen years old and will soon come of age. Miss, why don't you consider him?"

Yuan Xinghui asked doubtfully, "That uneducated Liang Wuxie who only knows how to bully others? Is he worthy? Granny Liang, are you trying to help me arrange this marriage just because you have the surname Liang? My father is still alive in Bingzhou guarding the border, and my grandmother is still in the family.

You chose to come here because my grandmother was away from home for three days to worship Buddha at Tong'an Temple. It's a good calculation. Even if my grandmother was at home today, Granny Liang would not agree to this. I, Yuan Xinghui, am not a big shot in Wei, but I have won honor in the Pingliang Poetry Festival. Marrying someone like Liang Wuxie, Granny Liang, you have watched me grow up and know my ability, right?"

Granny Liang said hurriedly, "Don't be angry, Miss." Yuan Xinghui stood up and went back to her room. The housekeeper walked up and said, "Granny Liang, you should go back. Our Miss is famous for her talkativeness. If you offended her today, she would really throw you out if you hadn't taken care of her when you were a child."

Granny Liang nodded and said, "I know. I'm going back."

Three days later, in Yuchun Restaurant, Xu Wenhe, Shen Congwen and Li Ziyan, who had been absent-minded, said to Xu Wenhe, "Li Ziyan, you asked us to come out to accompany you, so why don't you say something."

Shen Congwen said lightly: "Speak! He is absent-minded now. He must be thinking about his sister-in-law." Li Ziyan sighed and said: "It's only been three days. She probably just arrived in Jiaozhi."

Xu Wenhe said, "You've only been away for three days and you're already thinking about it? Didn't I remember that you didn't like Jun Ning?" Li Ziyan said a little embarrassedly, "Hey, shut up. I didn't say you have to dislike her."

After hearing this, Shen Congwen spit out a mouthful of tea: "You are moved, my god, this is the first time Li Ziyan has been moved in 17 years. But I think it's a little late for you to be moved. You only like him after your sister-in-law left?"

Li Ziyan shook his head and said, "I don't know when I fell in love with her. Anyway, I feel itchy inside whenever she gets close to me, like a cat scratching me. But now that she's gone to Jiaozhi, I can't sleep every night. Now I'm taking the initiative to study."

Xu Wenhe smiled and said, "Lovesickness! Does Jun Ning know that you like her?"

Li Ziyan shook his head: "I don't know yet."

Xu Wenhe held his forehead and said, "When are you going to tell her?"

Li Ziyan said firmly, "When she came back, I found that she was pretty now. Why didn't I think she was so pretty when I first met her? And I found that she is quite good and has many surprises that I didn't know about."

Shen Congwen said while eating melon seeds, "It means there is something wrong with your eyes. Although my sister-in-law is not the most beautiful woman in the world, she is a lady from a noble family and a rare beauty. If you say she is not that beautiful, then what is wrong with your eyes?"

Li Ziyan held his chin with one hand: "Alas, maybe there is really something wrong with my eyes! But..."

Li Ziyan thought: Is she thinking about me? She said a few words to me when she left. I don't have confidence anymore. Am I too self-righteous that she likes me? Is this what they call "only when you leave do you know how to cherish"? I don't know if my letter has arrived.
