Chapter 248 I owe her a lot

Shen Baoqing ran out, and Jiang Yueyao followed him out.

Xuan Ji sat on the futon without moving. He picked up the inkstone that Shen Baoqing had just used and slowly ground it.

Meng Zhiye didn't know what to say and just kept his mouth shut.

Xuan Ji drew the talisman very quickly, and the amulet was finished soon. After it dried, he gave it to Meng Zhiye.

"Wear it close to your skin, don't let it get wet, and after three days, take it off and burn it."

"Thank you, Master."

Meng Zhiye took the amulet and turned to leave the main hall.

After she left, Xuan Ji was the only one left in the entire hall.

He stared at the inkstone in front of him for a long time without moving.

In the past two years, she has been with him and has been to many places. Every time he needs to draw talisman paper, she will consciously come up to him to grind the ink.

From being unskilled at the beginning, even knocking over the inkstone, to becoming more and more skilled each time.

Sometimes, the ink was already ground before he even sat down.

Several times, she grabbed his sleeve and asked him eagerly, "Monk, am I your maid? I've done so much for you, why don't you even say thank you?"

"You were very polite and smiling to Miss Wang just now, but you were so cold to me. Monk, you are being unfair."

He once defended himself: "I didn't treat you coldly..."

"It's cold. There's no smile on his face. Just a cold face."

She is very talkative.

Will say wrong is right.

She would also make him feel guilty about something that he was right about.

Xuan Ji sometimes wondered how a person could have so much to say in a day?

From the moment she followed him, she chattered non-stop every day, talking about useful and useless things... Except for a few moments of silence when she was sleeping, she never stopped even when she was eating.

At first, he was annoyed.

He is a loner and likes to be alone. It is common for him to not speak for a whole day unless it is necessary.

But slowly, as time went on, he seemed to adapt to her presence.

To what extent can you adapt?

Even if she was unwell that day, he could tell immediately.

Every time I feel uncomfortable, I talk less.

Xuan Ji thought back to the time he encountered bandits on his way back to the capital. Even though he was covered in wounds, he still flew over and blocked the most fatal blow for him...

I thought I came here without any worries.

Walk away without any worries.

But now, I still owe her a lot.

-----

In the back mountain, there is a ten-acre peach blossom garden.

Jiang Yueyao looked at Shen Baoqing, who was sitting on a stone with his chin in his hand, thinking, and walked over to sit down beside her.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked her.

Shen Baoqing looked at the scenery in the distance and said faintly: "I always feel that something is wrong."

Jiang Yueyao didn't say anything.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Baoqing turned his head and looked at her.

"Yaoyao, can you tell me the truth? Is Xuan Ji in the memory I lost?"

Jiang Yueyao naturally didn't dare let her know.

He denied it flatly: "How is that possible? You two don't know each other..."

"You're lying." Shen Baoqing stared at her, "Every time you lie, you blink constantly."

“…No?”

"Oh! Still being stubborn." Shen Baoqing was too lazy to force her, "If you don't want to say it, forget it. I'll remember it anyway."

Jiang Yueyao looked at her for a while, then asked tentatively.

"But what if the person you forgot was Xuan Ji?"

Shen Baoqing didn't speak for a long time.

Her eyes fell on a certain place, and just when Jiang Yueyao thought she would not speak, she heard her speak.

"So what? He's a monk."

A sigh.

He is a monk!

How helpless and sad.

------

As soon as March passes, April comes.

During this period, she tried on her wedding dress and the phoenix crown.

The wedding dress was woven by the best embroiderer found by her mother, but the phoenix crown was made by a skilled craftsman found by Lu Sui according to Jiang Yueyao's preferences. It was exquisite and grand, but also very heavy.

She tried it on for a while and couldn't even lift her head.

“It’s so heavy.”

Bai Jinyu smiled: "It's all pure gold and gemstones, how can it not be heavy?"

"When I married your father, he wasn't this generous."

Shen Huaishan on the side was unhappy: "When I married you, I was just a small general with little savings. Unlike him, he is a king of Daye with a different surname. The emperor's reward alone is enough for him to enjoy a lifetime of happiness."

Jiang Yueyao was overjoyed when she heard this.

"Then are all his mine too?"

'Puchi...' Bai Jinyu laughed out loud. She reached out and pinched her little face with a doting look on her face.

"Just know it in your heart, don't say it out loud."

Shen Baoqing laughed at her: "Have some shame, Shen Baoqi. You haven't even married yet, and you're already calculating other people's property."

"I didn't."

After a while, the Lu family sent over the betrothal gifts, a total of sixty-six dan, plus a "Wanhe Tower" and a private house, all given to Jiang Yueyao.

This betrothal gift caused quite a stir in the capital, and even the emperor heard about it.

In the court, he teased Shen Huaishan.

"The son-in-law gave him noodles. Isn't the old father-in-law so happy that he can't stop smiling?"

Shen Huaishan’s face was indeed bright.

When he married Bai Jinyu, she was only 48 dan, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were very satisfied.

Now looking at Lu Sui's handwriting...

Shen Huaishan was extremely satisfied.

There are many ways for a man to love a woman, and bride price is one of them.

If he is reluctant to spend even on the bride price and is always haggling over details, you should definitely not marry him.

Time flies, and it’s May in a blink of an eye.

The eighth day of the fifth month is a good day for marriage.

At dinner the day before, the family of five sat together. The table was filled with Jiang Yueyao's favorite dishes.

She sat next to Bai Jinyu, and on the other side was Shen Huaishan.

Opposite them are brother Shen Linchuan and sister Shen Baoqing.

The room was very quiet. The maids who were originally serving on the side had all gone out, leaving only the five of them in the family.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and Bai Jinyu's eyes were red, as if she had been crying secretly.

Jiang Yueyao looked at this and felt uncomfortable.

She reached out, gently took her mother's arm and shook it.

"I'm not far away. I'm just across the street. If you miss me, ask someone to tell me. I'll be back in less than half a cup of tea."

"Besides, didn't Lu Sui promise me? I can live anywhere I want."

"If you and my father really can't bear to leave me, why don't we just live in Baozhu Tower?"

When Shen Huaishan heard this, he hurriedly said, "How can this be possible? He is the regent after all. Outsiders will laugh at him if they see him."

"What's the joke?" Bai Jinyu glanced at him. "We've been married, but how many times have you lived in your own house? You still take me to the Grand Tutor's Mansion every now and then."

Shen Huaishan touched his nose.

Feeling guilty, he said nothing.

Shen Baoqing didn't feel sad at all.

"If you really can't bear to leave me, then I will treat myself as a dowry and accompany you to the Regent's Palace. After all, there will be food and drink everywhere. My parents won't feel bad if I eat his food."

Shen Linchuan on the side echoed.

"Add me in. One person will eat, two people will eat. Lu Sui is rich and can afford it."
