Her questions started out simple, but later became increasingly profound, and sometimes he couldn't find the answers even after reading through numerous books.
In his heart, Zhu Jiayu was already someone he could sit down and have a serious conversation with.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have so easily agreed to Wei Qinglou's request to elevate Zhu Jiayu at today's banquet in front of so many noble ladies, giving her that face.
He took out the letter Wei Qinglou had written for him, placed it on the table, and said, "Read it yourself."
Zhu Jiayu picked up the letter, read it, and then sighed.
In the first half of the letter, Wei Qinglou roughly talked about his insights and questions about reading "Jin Shi Tong Yao". Later, he talked about her. He said that the nobles of Yujing were used to treating people differently based on their status. He thought that she would be looked down upon when she first entered Yujing, so he hoped that Mr. Song could find a way to help her.
She silently lowered her head, put the letter back in the envelope, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. Please convey my gratitude to Lord Wei on my behalf in the future."
Song Baopu waited for a long time, but he didn't expect to hear this.
He looked at Zhu Jiayu: "Is this all you have to say, thank you?"
Zhu Jiayu thought for a moment and said, "It was indeed inappropriate. When I have some free time, I will prepare a thank-you gift for you and Lord Wei. Please accept it then."
Song Baopu: ...
Okay, he understood. This little Jia Yu wasn't unintelligent or ignorant at all; she was clearly too smart and too sensible.
"If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do." He waved his hand and then told her the story he had once told Wei Qinglou.
He could see through Wei Qinglou's thoughts clearly. As for Xiao Jiayu, he felt that she should first understand Wei Qinglou's feelings before discussing anything else.
Zhu Jiayu frowned as she listened: "Sir, what you said is not right. You said that the girl is already married, which means that no matter what happened between you in the past, she has at least chosen to start her new life. In that case, why do you look back and reminisce about the past? Why not be like that girl and look forward?"
"In the end, what you miss is not your old friendship, but the self of yesteryear, who was admired by others and had a confidante."
Song Baopu coughed lightly: "This is not my past, but the past of an old friend of mine."
Zhu Jiayu nodded: "I knew it. You really don't seem like such a muddle-headed person."
Song Baopu forced a smile: "Young friend, you are absolutely right."
He didn't want to hear any more of Zhu Jiayu's insults, so he abruptly changed the subject and said to her, "I've heard that the Puhua Temple on Puhua Mountain outside the city is extremely efficacious. When you have some free time, you can go up the mountain and pay your respects."
Although Zhu Jiayu didn't know why he brought up Puhua Temple, she still nodded obediently.
After all, she has always respected her teachers and valued the elderly and cared for the young.
