Happy Spring Every Year

"Master Jiang, I told you last time that I should thank you."

There was a hint of cunning in Shen Jiasui's words, but her expression was so frank that one could not detect any flattery or ingratiation.

At this moment, Jiang Xun could hardly suppress the smile on his lips.

He naturally knew that Miss Shen was continuing with what she said last time at the door of the Earl's Mansion.

These words, like unfinished words that only the two of them could understand, made him feel an indescribable closeness.

Shen Jiasui did not give Jiang Xun a chance to be polite. After she finished speaking, she smiled and nodded at Jiang Xun again, then turned and left.

At this moment, she realized it belatedly and felt a little annoyed.

She didn't know how she took this step and walked in front of Lord Jiang.

I can express my gratitude next time we meet, but I have to say it to Cui Mingjue and Prince Rui——

Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui turned his head and glanced, only to find that King Rui's carriage had already left.

But she still couldn't hide her regret.

Perhaps it was because Lord Jiang was dressed like a scholar today, looking particularly well-behaved and approachable, that she forgot his identity for a moment and couldn't help but walk closer?

Wait, well behaved?

How could she use this word to describe Lord Jiang?

Shen Jiasui quickly shook his head, leaving Shen Jiaheng, who happened to be meeting him, completely confused.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you shaking your head? Did Master Jiang say something to you?"

At this moment, Shen Jiaheng also began to feel scared.

He really felt that Lord Jiang and his sister were a perfect match, so just now, in order to inspire Lord Jiang, he impulsively told Lord Jiang his sister's evaluation.

Did Lord Jiang just complain? But he didn't even see Lord Jiang open his mouth...

Sister, you won't be... angry with him, right?

Shen Jiaheng was feeling uneasy, and Cui Mingjue, who was not far away, also quietly focused his attention and pricked up his ears, with a hint of nervousness clearly revealed in his eyes.

Perhaps it was because he had been living too much of a life of discipline and repression that he longed for the unrestrained and outspoken Shen Jiasui, and he was attracted to her the first time he saw her.

If she already has Jiang Xun in her heart, I'm afraid I really have no chance.

"Is the knee-length coat I gave you enough? If not, I'll ask someone to bring another cart."

Shen Jiasui was still secretly upset about his own loss of composure, and simply spoke nonsense.

Shen Jiaheng: "Ah?"

Cui Mingjue, who was eavesdropping: ???

At this time, Shen Jiasui had already approached, and Cui Mingjue had no reason to stay and could only say goodbye.

The timing is obviously not appropriate and it is very abrupt. I'd better save what I want to say for the welcoming banquet in December.

If he guessed correctly, this would be a major event in the capital, and might be held in the imperial garden outside the capital.

There are beautiful mountains and rivers there, and there is also a large wintersweet forest. We'll talk about it when the time comes...

Shen Jiasui politely saw Cui Mingjue off, and when he turned around, Jiang Xun was no longer there.

Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, got into the carriage with Shen Jiaheng, and told him everything that had happened in the Lu Mansion.

Shen Jiaheng couldn't help but marvel at Aunt Zhou's methods. At this time, Shen Jiasui also mentioned:

"Brother Heng, Lu Yunsheng seems to be a good person, and he is not the same as Lu Yunzheng."

"If he encounters difficulties in the Imperial College, even for the sake of your sister's friendship with Concubine Zhou, you should help him without leaving any trace."

Shen Jiaheng understood and stayed in the carriage to talk with Shen Jiasui for a while. In the end, he did not dare to admit that he had revealed the matter of "The Moon in the Sky", so he had to enter the Imperial College with a guilty conscience.

Shen Jiasui did not stay any longer and immediately returned to General Dingguo's mansion.

----

the other side.

As Jiang Xun approached the carriage, Nan Feng came up to him and whispered, "Sir, there was a carriage parked in the corner just now, and Cui Mingjue got in."

Jiang Xun didn't look surprised when he heard this.

At the morning court today, His Majesty mentioned that Princess Jieyou will soon be returning to the capital with Princess Anning, and all parties must be ready to take action.

His Royal Highness Prince Rui must want to strengthen his relationship with the eldest princess, and Cui Mingjue is an excellent candidate.

At this time, Jiang Xun couldn't help but think of the look Cui Mingjue gave Shen Jiansui, and frowned slightly.

Not long after he got on the carriage, Mr. Lin came back.

"How's it going? I heard Miss Shen is here too?"

The moment the curtain was lifted, Mr. Lin came in with a smile on his face, instantly blowing away the silence in the carriage.

Jiang Xun raised his head, a solemn expression on his face. "Teacher, what do you think of what I said today?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Lin's smile faded, and he frowned as he sat down. "Have you made up your mind? Even meeting Miss Shen today didn't change your mind?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Jiang Xun's face for a moment, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time. When he heard the three words "Miss Shen", he began to waver again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Elder Lin suddenly clapped his hands, stared at Jiang Xun with a look of curiosity, and shouted:

"Great, great, you're really in love!"

"When did I ever see such a hesitant look on your face? I tricked you into thinking it was me!"

Mr. Lin was so happy that he wanted to get up and dance.

Jiang Xun: “…”

It was a mistake, but the experience is still the best.

He tried to change the subject, "Teacher, what about my proposal? How do you think it is?"

However, Mr. Lin didn't buy it. He smiled teasingly and approached Jiang Xun with a questioning look on his face.

"Hurry up, tell me, Master, when did you, this stinking stone, finally become wise? Did you fall in love with him at first sight right here at the gate of the Imperial College?"

"No, no, no, you're not such a superficial person who only cares about appearance. Then is it... Prince Rong's Mansion? Jokhang Temple? Or... the Earl's Mansion?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Master's vision is good. What did Master say back then? The Shen family's daughter is the best, and you're still stubborn!"

Jiang Xun: “…”

Just keep talking, and when the old man gets tired of talking, he will stop.

.......

As expected, Old Lin was talking until his mouth was dry, but Jiang Xun was a cautious person and never prepared food or tea in the carriage, which forced Old Lin to shut up.

At this time, Jiang Xun leisurely brushed his sleeves and said calmly, "Teacher, how is it?"

Lin Lao took a breath, finally defeated, took out a letter from his pocket, and said unhappily, "Take a look."

Jiang Xun reached out to take it, pulled out the letter, glanced at the ten lines, and then nodded seriously: "Teacher, it's settled."

Seeing Jiang Xun lowering his eyes, Mr. Lin meticulously stuffed the letter back into his pocket. As he looked at it, a trace of heartache filled his eyes.

"Straighten it, sometimes you don't have to—"

"teacher."

At this time, Jiang Xun suddenly spoke, but did not look up.

"How can a person get the moon in the sky?"

"I think... one needs a pair of unparalleled strong arms, soaring straight to the sky, to be able to embrace the moon in one's arms one day."

“But now, the disciple does not have it.”

"So, teacher, please don't mention Miss Shen anymore. If I can't even protect her, then every step I take towards her is despicable and selfish."

Old Lin opened his mouth and looked at his disciple's serious and almost solemn face. Even though he was an eloquent man, he couldn't utter a word at this moment.

It was not until this moment that Jiang Xun raised his head, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Teacher, please send this letter out. The welcoming banquet in December is going to be a tough battle."
