Chapter 366: Is it possible to do it without getting impatient?
The brothers made way for him and respectfully invited him in.
In the end, Jiacheng felt a little uncomfortable. Su Wan saw her discomfort and simply took her to her own yard.
After leaving the hall, everyone felt at ease.
Three girls were playing in the yard, chatting, drinking tea and gossiping.
As they talked, the topic turned to Su Chen.
"Um, Wanwan, doesn't General Su have to go to the city defense camp for duty recently?"
The sudden appearance of the third brother and the question coming from Jiacheng's mouth made Su Wan and Sun Ling'er stunned.
Although, if Jiacheng really likes the third brother, it seems that he would be quite good.
"He has taken three days off and will be on duty tomorrow." Su Wan said truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Jiacheng nodded as if he understood, and then asked again.
"How old is your third brother? I heard he's incredibly formidable on the battlefield, his name striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. He must be incredibly skilled in martial arts, right? He can probably even scale rooftops and walls."
When Jiacheng talked about this, his eyes became starry.
"He's twenty-three this year. My third brother is indeed very skilled in martial arts. He's good at riding, shooting, and fighting, and he can even climb walls and run across rooftops."
When Su Wan talked about his third brother, his tone and expression were full of pride.
When she said this, Jiacheng's eyes turned into admiration.
"Wow, that sounds amazing. Next month will be the annual Royal Hunting Festival, a five-day hunt on Junshan Mountain. The Emperor will bring all the princes, as well as the legitimate sons and daughters of military families, to Junshan Mountain for the hunt. General Su should be able to go too. Wanwan, you're also a military family member, so you can come too. This hunting festival is what I look forward to most every year. I should be able to witness General Su's elegance with my own eyes."
Ever since she witnessed Su Chen's moves on the street last time, she concluded that Su Chen's martial arts must be very powerful. She has been interested in these fighting and killing things since she was a child.
Of course, I'm also interested in people.
When Su Wan heard her talk about this royal hunting, it seemed that every costume TV drama had it, and the scenes were very grand.
She had never seen it before, so it was new to her and she naturally wanted to join in the fun.
"He is the lieutenant general of the city defense camp. Even if he went, he would be going to protect the emperor and the enclosure, right?" Su Wan guessed.
"It doesn't matter. As long as he goes, he can follow His Majesty on the hunt."
No one knew what Jiacheng was thinking, and Su Wan couldn't guess either. She looked very happy.
However, it can be concluded that she is indeed very interested in the third brother.
…
At Duke Jiang's mansion, Jiang Yu was a little drunk last night and had a quarrel with Duke Jiang. When he woke up the next morning, he had a slight headache.
The servants in the yard brought some warm porridge.
"Sir, the Duke has told you to go to his study after breakfast."
Jiang Yu frowned as he thought about the conversation last night:
"Got it, go down!"
He remembered Wanwan's birthday today and had to go to the Su Mansion in the afternoon.
"Anan." He called out to Anan, the guard guarding the door.
Anan pushed the door open and came in:
"Young Master, what are your instructions?"
"Please prepare the wooden box I brought back from Zhongzhou and go to the Su Mansion this afternoon. Be careful not to damage it."
"Yes, young master." Anan received the order and retreated respectfully.
No one knows what's inside that wooden box, it's quite big, and the young master treasures it very much. He put it in the carriage all the way back from Zhongzhou, and I think he wants to give it to Princess Xuanle.
Jiang Yu ate a few bites casually and then went to the study, where Duke Jiang was already waiting.
On the way, he also met Ning Wei who was delivering snacks. It was rare for the Duke to be at home today, so she had to go and show her courtesy and find out why he had quarreled with Jiang Yu last night.
Who knew, we would meet halfway.
"Madam, are you going to deliver some snacks?"
When Ning Wei saw him, she bowed to him reluctantly.
"Sir, I'm going to bring some snacks to the Duke."
Jiang Yu would not miss any opportunity to annoy her, and he winked at Anan:
"No need to go, I'll bring it to you."
Ning Wei was stunned when she heard this. The plate of pastries in her hand had already been taken away by Anan.
Afterwards, Jiang Yu ignored her speechless and resentful expression and took his men away.
"Your Majesty doesn't like sweet things. Anan, this cake is a reward for you!"
"Thank you for the reward, young master. I won't be polite!" Anan ate while walking.
Ning Wei was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't lash out. After Jiang Yu disappeared, she stomped her feet in anger and angrily threw a can of fish food from the corridor into the water, causing quite a splash.
The fish food was scattered and all the koi in the pond gathered together.
The housekeeper who was passing by saw this and quickly called out to the servants:
"Hurry up and get the net to catch the fish. The koi in this pond were carefully selected by the Duke. Don't let them get too full."
After hearing this, Ning Wei became anxious and panicked.
Jiang met the study and saw Duke Jiang writing on a piece of white rice paper. He had written four big characters: "Everything depends on human effort". When he had just finished writing, Duke Jiang took a look and was quite satisfied.
"Now that you're here, I won't waste my time on those empty words. Sit down, and let's talk about what happened last night, father and son, calmly and without getting angry. Is that okay?"
In the eyes of the soldiers, Duke Jiang is a very serious and tall figure, and he says what he means. Who would know that in private he is so "humble" to his son Jiang Yu?
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and found a place to sit down.
"Five years ago, I was chased and poisoned, and stabbed several times. If it weren't for her and the Su family, I would have been a handful of dust, a wandering ghost. They detoxified me, healed my wounds, and took me in. Over time, I fell in love with her. We were in love with each other, and I couldn't live without her. She had been waiting for me all these years. Now that I'm back, I naturally have to fulfill my promise." Jiang Yu didn't waste any time talking to him and got to the point.
Hearing this, Duke Jiang stopped writing, looked at him and asked:
"Who's chasing you?"
"It's all in the past. This isn't the point. I've already dealt with it. Let's get back to business."
Yu Wushang has become a disabled person. He is bedridden every day and is dying. He no longer poses a threat.
"Have you figured out your feelings? Are you unable to repay the favor of saving your life, or are you truly in love with him?"
"It has nothing to do with saving my life. I still say that I must have her. If you don't agree, then I won't be the prince." Jiang Yu's expression and tone showed that I am here to inform you, not to discuss with you.
Duke Jiang felt his eyes go dark and he really wanted to pinch his own philtrum. He didn't know what sin he had committed to have such a rebellious son.
He breathed a sigh of relief:
"This matter is not as simple as you think. We need to think it over carefully. You should at least let me meet the legendary Princess Xuanle before letting me make a decision."
