Happy Spring Every Year

The third day of the new year.

Shen Jiasui, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly sat up from the couch, startling Baiji who was about to wake her up.

"Miss...?"

Shen Jiasui rubbed his eyes and saw that it was already bright outside. He couldn't help but ask nervously, "Baiji, what time is it?"

Seeing that Shen Jiasui was full of energy, Baiji immediately felt relieved. He reached out to pull up the bed curtain and said with a smile:

"Miss, it's already late. It's rare for you to sleep so late."

"It's the first month of the year, and since you're not going out today, I thought I'd let you sleep a little longer."

"Madam sent Baishuang to ask about this earlier, and I replied that Madam also said that you should get a good night's sleep."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui quickly got off the bed, slipped on his shoes and hurried to wash up. Baiji hurried over to serve him. Suddenly, he thought of something and said,

"Oh, Miss, the young master came by just now and said that Lord Jiang would be visiting soon, and he wanted to ask if you would like to go with him to meet him."

Shen Jiasui suddenly raised his head, tears still dripping down his cheeks, and his voice trembled slightly. "He... Lord Jiang is here already?"

Baiji shook her head, then nodded, "I don't know, but judging by the time, it should be time."

Shen Jiasui took a deep breath, secretly annoyed, and his ears became hot.

For some reason, my heart was pounding last night.

She couldn't sleep well no matter whether she turned to the left or the right. Her mind was full of Lord Jiang's face.

I finally managed to fall asleep and dreamed of Lord Jiang again. My past and present lives were alternating back and forth. I cried and laughed, and woke up from the dream several times.

She thought she had finally fallen asleep when it was just dawn, but she overslept the moment she opened her eyes.

"Then...then Baiji, just tie my hair into a bun, as fast as you can."

Bai Ji immediately shook his head when he heard this, pushed Shen Jiasui to sit in front of the dressing table, and said with a smile:

"Miss, don't you know my skills? I promise I can comb your hair quickly and well!"

At this time, Baiji thought that Shen Jiasui was worried that it would be rude if he arrived late.

Who knew that her daughter was in a hurry to meet her lover...

----

Jiang Xun arrived outside General Dingguo's mansion a little earlier than the time on the visiting card.

Nanfeng personally drove the car, and it was also dressed in new clothes today. He was determined not to lose face for his own master.

Shen Jiaheng was waiting at the door to greet him. When he saw Jiang Xun get off the carriage, he immediately went forward to greet him.

But when he looked up, he was stunned.

Lord Jiang was wearing a scarlet brocade robe today, and a white cloak with a silver fox fur collar.

She wore a black belt inlaid with pearls around her waist, with a white jade pendant hanging from it, and her black hair was tied up high with a white jade crown. She was simply...

An unprecedented dress!

Whether it was the flower viewing banquet at Prince Rong's Mansion or the welcoming banquet at the Imperial Garden, he had never seen Lord Jiang dress so elaborately.

Seeing this, Shen Jiaheng's heart was pounding, and he always felt... weird.

"Master Shen."

Since Shen Jiaheng was standing there in a daze, Jiang Xun took the initiative to bow to him.

Shen Jiaheng suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed and saluted Jiang Xun, and then said politely:

"Master Jiang, please come in."

Jiang Xun nodded slightly and walked in shoulder to shoulder with Shen Jiaheng.

Along the way, the two of them exchanged pleasantries, mostly talking about things related to the Imperial College. They got along quite well with each other.

but!

Shen Jiaheng still felt it was too weird!

He always felt that Lord Jiang was particularly gentle today, particularly...

Look, look, Lord Jiang is smiling at him again!

Shen Jiaheng's scalp tingled.

broken! broken!

He felt that Lord Jiang must have something important to ask for when he came today!

They have to come in such a hurry in the first month of the year, and Lord Jiang is such a powerful person. I think it must be a very difficult matter, and I need my father's help.

How to do it?

Lord Jiang is so kind, I should help him, but will it be bad for my father?

Shen Jiaheng's heart was in turmoil along the way, but he finally led the person to the main hall.

At this time in the main hall, Shen Zhengsheng was sitting in the main seat, while Ji Wan was pacing back and forth with a frown on her face.

"Husband, what do you think Jiang Xun came to visit today? If it involves... we should not get involved at all."

Ji Wan said this, raising her hand and pointing towards the sky.

When Shen Zhengsheng saw that the pigs had already reached the doorstep and his wife was still unaware of it, he couldn't help but shook his head.

However, this is not the lady's fault.

After all, Sui Sui had flatly rejected the matchmaking offered by Prince Rong, and Jiang Xun had no further news afterwards, so the relationship between the two had indeed come to an end.

Judging from Jiang Xun's usual style of doing things, since he dared to come today, I guess he must have asked Sui Sui's opinion, right?

Suisui, this kid...is really tight-lipped.

After the welcoming banquet at the Imperial Garden, he, as her father, waited for several days, but Suisui never confessed to him.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhengsheng couldn't help feeling sour.

When Ji Wan saw her husband sitting there like a wooden man, not answering a single question, she got so angry that she was about to go up and pinch his arm.

At this moment, Shen Jiaheng's voice came from outside: "Dad, Mom, I've invited Master Jiang in."

Ji Wan immediately straightened her expression and turned to look outside.

In the winter sunshine, the young man walked in with steady steps and a straight back.

He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a high nose bridge. Perhaps because I have heard of his reputation, I feel that there is always a hint of determination between his eyebrows.

It was cold today, but what was rare was that the man did not look heavy even with his cloak on, and his steps were light and graceful. His scarlet brocade clothes made his lips and teeth red and his face white, making him look very handsome.

Ji Wan was delighted when she saw Jiang Xun. Putting aside other things, his appearance and demeanor were extremely outstanding in the capital.

Shen Zhengsheng also stood up.

After all, Jiang Xun was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, so he was considered a colleague before he made his purpose clear.

Jiang Xun bowed and saluted respectfully to the Shen couple, and then said some auspicious words to celebrate the new year.

At this time, Shen Jiasui finally arrived "sneakily".

Jiang Xun was a male guest, and according to the rules, she couldn't show up to meet him rashly.

Shen Jiasui thought about it, walked around from the back, then gently pushed open the window of the side room, flipped in, and landed on the ground like a civet cat.

She didn't dare bring Baiji with her because that girl only knew some martial arts and she had to be careful not to expose her whereabouts.

Among the people in the room, only Shen Zhengsheng moved his ears slightly and glanced meaningfully towards the side room, but did not say anything.

After everyone sat down, they all looked at Jiang Xun, waiting for him to explain his purpose.

Jiang Xun did not hesitate to stand up and bow to the Shen family couple, then said in a gentle voice:

"General Shen, Madam Shen, I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my visit today."

"The reason I didn't specify my purpose on the visiting card was because I was worried it would appear too frivolous and casual. Some things need to be said in person in front of General Shen and Madam Shen."

Jiang Xun said this, bowed again, his face solemn and sincere, and said respectfully:

"I have long heard that your family has a clean and upright character. I have the audacity to come to your house today because I have long admired Miss Shen."

"I know full well that marriage is a matter of parental consent, so I have taken the liberty to come and ask General Shen and Madam Shen to grant me and Miss Shen a marriage."

"If you grant me permission to marry Miss Shen, it would be a great honor for me. From now on, I will cherish her, respect her, love her, and treat her as a treasure in my heart. I will walk hand in hand with her until we grow old together."
