Chapter 119: Not even worthy of carrying Miss Xiao's shoes
"At the time, I thought that the Third Prince had many capable people under his command, so I thought of asking him for help. Miss, I... didn't cause you any trouble, did I?" Lian Xin looked at her with worried eyes: "I wanted to come back yesterday, but after the doctor applied the medicine, Guo Sheng said that the Third Prince had gone to save the young lady. My leg..."
Guo Sheng said that her legs would become a burden, so Lianxin did not insist on coming back at night.
"No." Xiao Jiuyue comforted her, "Lianxin, you have to take good care of your legs. Don't move them. If your legs can't walk anymore, you won't be able to go out with me anymore."
When Lianxin heard this, she repeatedly assured herself, "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely take good care of my legs."
Xiao Jiuyue was finally relieved when she saw Lianxin coming back. Luo Kui asked, "Miss, are you still going out?"
"No, I'm grinding ink." Xiao Jiuyue returned to her room and was about to start writing a plan about how to distribute the products in Hongdu and how to market them. She had only written a few words when she heard the doorman come in and announce, "Miss, Mr. Jiang is here."
"Mr. Jiang?" Xiao Jiuyue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you ask Manager Jin to ask for leave for Jiayuan and Jiachen?"
"Please ask Mr. Jiang to go to the front hall. I will be right there." Xiao Jiuyue put down her pen and went to see Xiao Jiayuan first. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xiao Jiayuan squatting in a horse stance. Xiao Jiuyue was surprised for a moment. Ji Fu immediately bowed and said, "Miss."
"Sister, why are you here?" Xiao Jiayuan grinned when he saw Xiao Jiuyue, "Sister, what do you think of my horse stance?"
"When did you become so diligent?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Before he could speak, she said, "Mr. Jiang is here. Bring me your homework."
"Mr. Jiang is here?" When Xiao Jiayuan heard Mr. Jiang, he immediately stood up. He had been squatting for a long time and his feet were numb. He almost fell to the ground. Xiao Jiuyue raised his hand to support him.
"Be careful." Xiao Jiuyue supported him and said, "Don't worry, you and Jiachen will come together later."
After Xiao Jiuyue finished giving the instructions, he strode to the front hall. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mr. Jiang asked, "How were Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen yesterday?"
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your concern. It's just a small matter, no problem." Xiao Jiuyue felt relieved when she knew why he came.
"Miss, the third and fourth young masters are here." Luo Kui brought Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen with them, holding their respective homework in their hands. When they saw Mr. Jiang, the two little guys immediately became extremely respectful.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen saluted in unison.
"Okay." Mr. Jiang saw that they were both fine, and his eyes fell on the bandage wrapped around Xiao Jiayuan's neck. He didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Have you finished your homework?"
"We're done. Here are the characters we wrote and the poems we copied." Xiao Jiayuan, who was a year older, handed over the characters and poems. "Please review them, Mr. Jiang."
While Mr. Jiang was testing their studies, Xiao Jiuyue sipped his tea and fixed his gaze on Mr. Jiang. He was elegant and refined, with a scholarly air, giving off the impression of being knowledgeable and talented.
Xiao Jiuyue whispered instructions to Luo Kui, asking her to prepare some snacks for Mr. Jiang.
Only after Mr. Jiang finished the examination and assigned a few days of homework did he get up and leave.
"Goodbye, sir." Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen had stern faces and were extremely respectful.
"Don't miss your lessons during the few days you're at home. I'll check in three days." Mr. Jiang looked at Xiao Jiayuan's neck and said, "Take good care of your injuries."
Xiao Jiayuan was stunned, touched his neck, and grinned: "Sir, it doesn't hurt, not at all."
Mr. Jiang smiled, gave a few encouraging compliments, and then stood up to say goodbye and leave. Xiao Jiuyue specifically said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jiang. Here are some snacks to fill your stomach for the journey."
Xiao Jiuyue handed over the snacks that Luo Kui brought, and asked Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen to see him off.
"Miss Xiao, that's not necessary. I'm a rough man. Don't waste these exquisite snacks." Mr. Jiang looked at the exquisite food box. Even without opening it, he could feel that the snacks inside must be very exquisite.
Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. "If Mr. Jiang is a rough man, then aren't we even rough men? I've heard Jiayuan and Jiachen talk about Mr. Jiang a long time ago. He's extremely knowledgeable. It's an honor for them to be taught by him."
Mr. Jiang's eyes dimmed slightly. "Miss Xiao, you are too kind. I am just a scholar."
"A bright pearl has been covered in dust. One day, Mr. Jiang will soar to the sky and spread his wings like a roc." Xiao Jiuyue said every word. She had inquired about it. Mr. Jiang was a straightforward and noble person. He was unwilling to go along with others, which was why he was kicked out of the quota for the provincial examination.
Mr. Jiang had talent at Qingyun Academy, but he left because he offended the powerful. Finally, the dean of Huaixian Academy invited Mr. Jiang back to teach. Mr. Jiang was a talented person.
Mr. Jiang's eyes lit up when he heard this. If someone else said this, he might think it was a mockery, but when these words came from Xiao Jiuyue's mouth, and he heard that they came from Shengjing, Xiao Jiuyue's words made him take them more seriously.
"Miss Xiao, do you really think so?" Mr. Jiang felt a surge of heat in his heart, and his heart, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to be revived at this moment.
Xiao Jiuyue nodded affirmatively: "Of course."
In the courtyard, Guo Sheng, who had just finished a meal, saw this scene and hurried to Jun Lie's side: "Third Master, you can still drink tea, Miss Xiao is almost kidnapped!"
Jun Lie sipped his tea carefully, listened to his words, and glanced at him sideways.
Guo Sheng said excitedly, "Third Master, look at that Mr. Jiang. He's handsome, refined, and polite. Isn't that what girls like?"
"It's only been half a year since we last met, and Miss Xiao has become even more beautiful since she arrived in this backward village. I heard that even the county magistrate's son wants to marry her!" Guo Sheng looked at Jun Lie anxiously and said, "Third Master, this is good for everyone!"
"cough."
Guo Yang cleared his throat, looked at Jun Lie's gloomy face, and winked at Guo Sheng. Guo Sheng glanced at him and said, "Guo Yang, if your eyes are uncomfortable, go see a doctor. You're also coughing, are you sick?"
“…” Guo Yang looked up at the sky speechlessly, his silly brother.
"Guo Sheng." Jun Lie's cold voice sounded.
Guo Sheng immediately said, "Third Master, I'm going to give him a lesson right now. A mere scholar is not even worthy of carrying Miss Xiao's shoes!"
Jun Lie looked at him without saying a word.
Guo Sheng touched his nose belatedly and asked cautiously, "Third Master, what do you want?"
"Prepare your horses, and say goodbye." Jun Lie had barely finished speaking when Guo Sheng looked at him in shock. "Third Master, are you leaving now?"
"Third Master, we came all the way to Hongdu, and we've only been here for one day, and you're leaving already?" Guo Sheng looked at Xiao Jiuyue who was seeing him off at the door, then turned back to look at Jun Lie, his eyes seemed to be asking: Didn't you come here for Miss Xiao?
