Chapter 122
Liangua and Yuge'er don't care much about what's happening in the village.
But Shen Jiao kept asking, so they helped to find out.
I didn't find out anything about the monster.
I heard about another big thing.
Liangua said, "The fifteenth young master is getting married. The manor master and his wife intend to invite many guests and hold a grand ceremony. From the looks of it, the standard is much higher than that of the young masters who have already married. The manor master also said that he will make an important announcement after the wedding banquet. We guess that he may be appointing a young master."
"Establish the Young Master? Who? The Fifteenth Young Master?"
Shen Jiao asked in disbelief.
Liangua shook his head: "How is that possible? If anyone were to be promoted, the Third Young Master or the Sixth Young Master would probably be more powerful."
"Then why hold it together with the wedding banquet? Isn't this matter more important than the wedding banquet? No matter how hard you try, you can't just mention it after the wedding banquet. There must be something else, unless the groom wants to be the young master of the manor."
Shen Jiao frowned in thought.
Yuge'er said, "It's not impossible if you say so."
Liangua said, "Sir, should I prepare one gift or two? If both events are for the same person, I can save one."
"It's better to prepare two. At worst, you can take them back. It's better than not being able to give them when you need to."
Shen Jiao suggested without much concern.
I was still wondering what Xue Wuliang was going to say.
Could it be that he got a powerful monster and wanted to show off?
Or do you have any other plans?
Shen Jiao could never have imagined that Xue Wuliang was planning to call everyone over to see him expose the shortcomings of his ancestors.
After all, this kind of thing has a huge impact on the reputation of Tongcai Villa. In Shen Jiao's eyes, anyone with a little bit of brains would not do such a thing.
So she never thought about it at all.
I'm just glad that I seem to have escaped this disaster.
And Xue Shun...
He didn't care about those things. He hated Xue Shiyi, so naturally he would also hate his younger brother Xue Shiwu.
If it weren't for the sake of saving face, he wouldn't even want to give a gift.
When Liangua came to ask him what he wanted to give, he picked up an old brush.
Seeing her hesitation in answering, Xue Shuncai added another one.
He copied a congratulatory article himself, gave her some money, and asked her to frame it.
Shen Jiao even took a look at it. The childish handwriting was particularly perfunctory, but the article was good, somewhat resembling Mr. Song's style. More importantly, "This is a congratulatory letter to an old friend. Congratulations on finally achieving the happy ending of his long-cherished love."
"Ah, isn't this quite touching? Lovers finally get married and spend the rest of their lives together. Isn't this quite fitting?"
"What I'm marrying is the tablet."
"Life and death depend on each other."
"We spent a lot of money and almost emptied our family fortune."
"I want to be with her even if I don't care about fame or fortune."
"The woman was unwilling during her lifetime, but was forced to marry by her family after her death."
"That's a bit unreasonable. I really shouldn't have done that."
"Young Master, he's satirizing that old friend," Shen Jiao had to say bluntly, "Isn't this article somewhat, inappropriate?"
Xue Shun curled his lips: "I don't think so. Doesn't Xue Shiwu know him? Maybe he's unwilling. Besides, this isn't about him."
"If it's not him, then that's even more inappropriate, sir. This is a congratulatory article for him. At least his name should be on it. Congratulations to Qian Laoniu on his wedding. Who is Qian Laoniu?"
"I'll ask for you tomorrow," Xue Shun was quite easygoing. He threw the paper into Lian Gua's arms, waved his hand to signal her to leave quickly, and grabbed Shen Jiao's hand and said, "Don't think about it. Go to sleep for a while. You'll have to get up again in a few hours."
As soon as Master Feng died, Mr. Song asked Xue Shun to get up at dawn to study again.
This has little to do with Shen Jiao.
Xue Shun didn't want her to leave the house yet.
So she doesn't have to get up early, but it seems she can't go to bed late either.
Xue Shun lay on her bed, stretched out his arms and winked at her, obviously wanting to stay again.
Shen Jiao: ...
She smashed her head down, and Xue Shun yelled in dissatisfaction: "Be gentle, if you hurt me again, won't you feel bad?"
Shen Jiao really doesn't feel sorry for her.
If she had known that Xue Shun would become more clingy the more she coaxed him, she would not have cared about him in the past few days.
Now that's good, the mouse cage has been moved in, the desk has been moved in, and the person has been moved in, and he's almost growing on her body.
Shen Jiao tried to drive him out and gently advised, "Of course I feel bad for you. Didn't you say your arm hurt yesterday? How about...you go back to your room for a couple of days and come back when you feel better?
My injuries are no longer serious, so there is no need for you to worry about me day and night."
"Don't bother," Xue Shun hugged her tightly in his arms, holding one of her hands and rubbing it against his heart, then asked with a hint of grievance, "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Shen Jiao: ...
"Not really, it's just...sir, don't you feel more comfortable living alone?"
Xue Shun was silent for a moment, then agreed, "Indeed."
Shen Jiao raised her eyes expectantly, waiting to hear what was to come.
Xue Shun: "Your bed is a little small. It's really uncomfortable for two people to live in. Mine is bigger. How about we go to my place or move your bed over?"
The point is not the bed at all. Xue Shun is not a fool, how could he not know it and yet pretend to be confused.
"I think this is not a good idea. People in the courtyard will discuss it."
"You used to be not afraid of what others said."
"I'm not afraid, but this is not a long-term solution. After all, we have no name or status. It's okay to be together occasionally, but it's not appropriate to accompany each other every night..." Shen Jiao said with embarrassment.
Xue Shun understood her very well: "That's true. If this gets out, it will be bad for both our reputations. Otherwise, I'll go and ask my mother to marry you, okay?"
"ah?"
Shen Jiao said that to force him to leave, not to marry him, "Madam won't agree, right?"
"I can appeal to their emotions and reason with them," Xue Shun said excitedly as he turned over and sat up. "Anyway, I'm the least capable person in the family, so why should my parents interfere in my marriage? Besides, when have people in the martial arts world ever valued family background so much? There's nothing wrong with you and me being in love. Besides, this way, I can ask my mother to redeem you. We've saved some money, so we can find someone who's good at talking to us and go back to Shenggu to negotiate. Maybe we can get a lower price. If not, the worst that can happen is that I'll just ask for less when I go out."
Shen Jiao: "But this...but if you're not absolutely sure about something like this, it might backfire. If Madam gets angry, she might just send me back to Huisheng Valley."
"Then I'll take you and run away. I won't give up anything. After all, I lived well even though I had nothing before. They never cared about me, and I didn't starve to death outside. I can be a slave or a beggar, as long as we are together, it's fine. I only ask you, are you willing?"
Shen Jiao: ...Does he want to listen to what he is saying? Is there really anyone who would be willing to do so?
