Chapter 49: Su Jinshi was frightened by Shen Shilang's sinister behavior.
"Didn't I tell you to join the army? Come with me now." Wei Zhaoxian said coldly.
"General, it's so late. We don't have to leave now, right?" Madam Wei said carefully. "I'll pack some luggage for Jianming. General, you should come back tonight and rest for a night. How about leaving tomorrow?"
Wei Jianming looked at Mrs. Wei in disbelief.
She actually wanted him to leave tomorrow? ! "When serving in the army, he wears military uniforms and armor every day, so why would he need any luggage?" Wei Zhaoxian said coldly, "He is going to join the army, not to enjoy life. The only luggage for the soldiers in the army is their military uniforms."
"Come with me!" Wei Zhaoxian saw Wei Jianming still standing there and snorted, "Do you still want me to pull you along?"
Without waiting for Wei Jianming to answer, Wei Zhaoxian shouted loudly: "Someone come!"
"General!" Two soldiers in armor suddenly came in.
Wei Zhaoxian actually came back with soldiers. He had originally planned that if Wei Jianming could not go to the government office no matter what, Wei Zhaoxian would have someone force him to go.
Now there is no need to force Wei Jianming to go to the government office, but he must be forced to go to the army.
"Take him back to the army." Wei Zhaoxian said firmly.
"Yes!" Two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, carried Wei Jianming out.
"Let me go!" Wei Jianming could not struggle and could only shout.
But military orders are as heavy as mountains, and they don’t care that he is the son of a general.
The general gave orders, and they followed them.

"I was wondering why you haven't rewarded me with experience yet. Turns out you're waiting here." After watching the excitement here, Su Jinshi returned to Shen Shilang, poked his cheek, and told him that she was back.
Shen Shilang said helplessly: "Are you enjoying the excitement?"
Just now he went to see Wei Zhaoxian, and Su Jinshi did not come back with him, so he guessed that Su Jinshi stayed there to watch the fun.
Su Jinshi drew a smiley face on Shen Shilang's chest.
Shen Shilang's chest felt numb from being painted by her fingertips, and his face turned red unconsciously.
He clenched one hand into a fist, covered his lips and coughed lightly.
Su Jinshi now had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't communicate through voice.
I can only wait until the next morning.
She woke up early in the morning and watched Shen Shilang practice martial arts while washing up.
By the time the takeaway coffee and bagels she ordered arrived, Shen Shilang's breakfast had also arrived.
Su Jinshi drank a sip of coffee, hurriedly bought a voice box, and asked Shen Shilang: "You were too easy on Wei Jianming yesterday. Wei Zhaoxian was about to take him to see the official. Why didn't you just go with the flow?"
"If I take him to see the official, at most he will be stripped of his status as a juren, or he may never be able to take the imperial examinations in the future. Even if the general asks me to handle the matter impartially, the other party may not dare to do so because he is worried about General Wei. Afterwards, Wei Jianming will still have to come back and continue to be my enemy." Shen Shilang took a sip of the thick and fragrant porridge and said slowly.
"Now that he has been brought back to the army by General Wei, General Wei will definitely discipline him strictly. In my opinion, he will not be allowed to come back easily within a year or two." Shen Shilang picked up a piece of side dish and put it into the white porridge.
The side dishes were cooked until they were soft and the white porridge was also stained with the sauce of the side dishes, which made it more flavorful.
Shen Shilang took the side dish out of the porridge, ate it and said, "Look, isn't he much quieter now that he's not in the mansion?"
Su Jinshi: “…”
No wonder Shen Shilang didn't pursue the matter, he just kicked Wei Jianming out of the house! "I'm going to take the imperial examination next year, and I need to study quietly now. I don't have that much time to deal with Wei Jianming." Shen Shilang said, put the bowl and chopsticks on the table, and looked over.
Su Jinshi looked at Shen Shilang's expression, as if to say, "Look, can't I study quietly now?"
"I hope all the scholars in the world are not as sinister as you." Su Jinshi was frightened by Shen Shilang's sinister nature.
In order to get Wei Jianming away, he took such a big detour.
The key point is that others have to praise Shen Shilang for his magnanimity.
Shen Shilang paused for a moment and said helplessly: "I won't do this to you."
Su Jinshi's surprised mouth first formed an "O", then he burst into laughter, and the corners of his mouth never fell down with joy.
She propped up her chin and said with a smile: "Shen Shilang, you are so cute now!"
He is so different from when I first met him.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Shen Shilang was embarrassed by her praise and blushed, "Why do you say that suddenly?"
How embarrassing.
"Because you treat me differently from others." Su Jinshi smiled.
Shen Shilang was so embarrassed by what Su Jinshi said that he was speechless and his face was red as if he would suffocate at any time.

On the second day, news suddenly came from the palace.
"You said that Liu Xundao was reprimanded by the emperor and fined his salary?" Mrs. Wei was surprised. Fine was a small amount. Few of those officials lived on their salaries.
But if Your Majesty issues an edict to reprimand, it will be a serious matter.
"What did Liu Xundao do wrong that caused Your Majesty to send an order all the way here to reprimand him?" Madam Wei asked in surprise.
Shopkeeper Ning, who had already completed the handover with Shopkeeper Yue, stood in front of Madam Wei, bowed slightly, and said, "At the flower-viewing banquet the day before yesterday, the second daughter of Taoist Liu Xun wore a hairpin worth one hundred taels."
Mrs. Wei felt familiar with it, so she asked, "Do you know what the hairpin looks like?"
"It's a hairpin made of South Sea pearls and jadeite. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is exquisite and expensive." said Butler Ning.
"Yes!" Wei Ruyan said, "That day when Liu Yiling was wearing that pearl hairpin, I said, I didn't expect Cheng Ruoyu didn't buy it, and the hairpin was taken by Liu Yiling instead. She was in the limelight at that time, and many people gathered around her to look at the hairpin and ask questions."
"Is it because of that hairpin that Liu Xundao was reprimanded by His Majesty?" asked Mrs. Wei.
"That's right." Steward Ning said, "In order to support the military, the palace is cutting expenses. Your Majesty has taken the lead and only eats four dishes and one soup for each meal. The nobles and the women in the family have all donated silver and jewelry. On the surface, each one lives a simpler life than the other. At this time, the second young lady of the Liu family is so ostentatious, and Your Majesty is not happy."
"Your Majesty's decree said that at this critical moment, the women in Liu Xundao's family can still enjoy such glory. It really surprised Your Majesty." Steward Ning said, "I heard that Liu Xundao quickly apologized and donated some silver."
"It's just that it's hard to determine how much money to donate. If you donate too little, it will appear that you are not sincere enough. If you donate too much, you may be suspected of being greedy." Madam Wei shook her head. "Prince Liu Xun was really screwed by his daughter. Madam Liu doesn't know how to stop her. Just buy it, but don't wear it out to show off at this critical moment."
