Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Hopelessly crazy.
On the way back, Zhang Jingxian went to see the governor of Chen again to pay the fine for autumn.
This sesame-sized thing was the only comfort she got from her marriage with Xie Yun, so she couldn't help but confirm it with others again and again.
County Magistrate Chen was silent for a long moment, not knowing what to say. Finally, one of his closest associates spoke up and said that if the tax collectors had accidentally collected her fine grain, they would definitely return it.
Zhang Jingxian thanked him confidently, and when she turned around, she saw Cai Shu peeking out from the carriage, and felt a little guilty.
Cai Shu got off the carriage and faced her. She showed no signs of abnormality, as if she had forgotten all her previous actions to deliberately distance herself from Xie Yun. She invited her to visit the Cai family manor when she had time in the future.
Zhang Jingxian agreed with a smile.
"Tomorrow, my father and I will be setting off to return to Wuling Commandery. Ah Xian, I wish you and Envoy Xie to grow old together, loving each other forever."
Cai Shu then began to congratulate her, but Zhang Jingxian could only smile and remain silent. This marriage was not what she wanted.
But she couldn't say it.
Xie Yun was standing not far from them, holding something in his hand. Even though he had a nice smile on his face, his figure that was several inches taller than everyone else and his extremely handsome face naturally gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Cai Shu just took a careful look and her hands and feet became cold. She was always afraid of Xie Yun in her heart. After hesitating for a long time, she stood on tiptoe and whispered something in Zhang Jingxian's ear.
The sound is very low, but can be heard clearly.
"Ah Xian, people like Xie Shijun are not easy to get along with. You can come to my place to take a break under the pretext of visiting relatives and friends."
It turned out that this was Cai Shu's original intention in inviting him. She was afraid that the cold-hearted Envoy Xie would be harsh to his wife and would not take a peasant girl seriously at all.
From her father, Cai Shu learned the reasons Xie Yun gave to the public when he got married.
Repay the life-saving favor.
Marrying someone simply out of a favor, especially since Zhang Jingxian came from a very humble background, Cai Shu was worried about her situation from the bottom of her heart, believing that Envoy Xie would one day wrong her.
He is not a good match for her.
Zhang Jingxian moved her lips. In the past, everyone believed that she was not worthy of Xie Yun. Until now, she was the one who was forced, but her respected uncle Lord Jian did not understand why she was so stubborn and resistant?
Cai Shu was the first person to stand on her side and the first person to say that the noble Envoy Xie was not a good match for her.
"I will when I have time." Zhang Jingxian whispered, feeling a little stuffy in her chest.
"My father said that Envoy Xie's home is in Jiankang, and the aristocratic family has many tricks up their sleeves. It's best that you, Ah Xian, don't go back with him during the New Year holidays." Cai Shu's pretty face moved closer, reminding her to be alert to Jiankang.
Zhang Jingxian knew Cai Shu meant well and nodded. However, she also wanted to tell Cai Shu that she had already been to Jiankang.
Before she could finish her words, a thick shadow appeared behind her.
Xie Yun hadn't known when he saw her and Cai Shu almost touching each other, and he felt unhappy. He walked over and said with a smile, "Ah Xian, it's time to go home."
Zhang Jingxian subconsciously dodged and did not respond.
Looking at her profile, Xie Yun's dark eyes slowly moved to Cai Shu's face. His gaze was careless, yet sharp enough to penetrate her flesh and blood.
Cai Shu felt the stinging pain on her skin and lowered her head respectfully and stiffly.
Cai Hui noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to apologize for his daughter.
In the silence, Zhang Jingxian came back to her senses and nodded slowly, "Yes, it's time to go home. Let's go to the Cai family's manor next time."
Xie Yun held her wrist with a smile on his lips.
It was at this moment that Zhang Jingxian discovered that he was holding a bunch of wild fruits in his hand. They were golden in color and looked almost transparent.
"The children in Changling City like to pick this fruit. It tastes sour, but I don't know what's so good about it?" Xie Yun said with disgust from his thin lips. The two returned to the carriage, but he placed the whole bunch of wild fruits in front of Zhang Jingxian.
The wild fruits have a fragrance and don't smell sour.
Zhang Jingxian didn't know whether it was poisonous or not, but she didn't care at this moment. She picked one, put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully.
Well, 50% sour and 50% sweet.
"Mrs. Cai is kind-hearted." She ate most of the wild fruit and stopped. Huang Ying might like it, so she thought of saving some for it.
"The Cai family's manor is just like this. In a few days, I will take you to the manor under my name." Xie Yun said indifferently, and his dark eyes were fixed on her face.
An ordinary peasant girl, yet she attracts so many likes! It's really annoying!
Zhang Jingxian blinked her eyelashes, glanced at him, and replied softly, "I've been to that place."
While hunting wild geese, she discovered a house hidden in the woods. At first, she thought someone was living in seclusion there. "But I didn't want to disturb the owner, so I got a little closer and didn't dare go any further."
Xie Yun paused and said that it was the place where he used to escape the heat when the weather was hot. It was built in the forest at the foot of the mountain and it was very cool to live in.
"Yeah." Zhang Jingxian listened and responded casually.
She was not very interested. She just wanted Xie Yun to stop focusing his attention on Cai Shu. If he knew that Cai Shu secretly thought he was difficult to get along with, he would probably be angry.
When I returned to the mansion, the yellow oriole smelled the scent of wild fruits and flew over.
Zhang Jingxian remembered the tree where it lived and placed all the remaining wild fruits under the tree. Watching it peck holes in the wild fruits one after another, she smiled with her eyes curved.
At night, they did not return to the guest house.
Xie Yun was reviewing official documents in the front hall, and Zhang Jingxian also had her own things to do.
She was really not used to using jade hairpins, so she asked the maid for a pair of scissors, cut a small roll of silk cloth, and sewed a hairband in the bright candlelight.
Perhaps because she wasn't very good at sewing, she spent a long time sewing but couldn't get the look she imagined. She had previously asked Aunt Qin to sew the green headband for her, along with a wild pheasant.
Xie Yun put down the document in his hand. Zhang Jingxian was still struggling with a piece of cloth. She waved her hand and told him to go to bed first.
"If you have this much time, you might as well learn a few more words." Xie Yun sneered at the hairband in her hand.
"I want to sew!" Zhang Jingxian glared at him and insisted on doing it herself.
Xie Yun didn't say anything more, walked out of the room and asked someone to prepare hot water.
Zhang Jingxian couldn't see his figure out of the corner of her eye, so she immediately put down the slender silver needle. She remembered the empty house where she had stayed last time, so she picked up the water bag and tiptoed in, locking the door as before.
After washing with the water in the water bag, Zhang Jingxian lay down on the bed where she was the only one left as she wished.
However, when she was half asleep and half awake, a loud noise completely shattered her painstaking plan.
Around midnight, Xie Yun, wearing a black nightgown and with wet hair, burst into the room with a murderous aura. He stared at her on the couch and laughed.
"Ah Xian wants to sleep here, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Zhang Jingxian looked at his figure as tall as a mountain, her heart pounding.
He approached step by step, and a few bloodshot eyes appeared in his black eyes.
"I don't want to...sleep with anyone." Zhang Jingxian hugged the quilt and mumbled incoherently. There are so many rooms, why do two people have to sleep together?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a bed all to yourself?
"I want to be with Ah Xian." Xie Yun ignored her "good intentions" and went straight in, lying beside her and hugging her.
The door of the room was shaking and the cool night wind was blowing, but he didn't care at all. He grabbed her waist and rubbed it into his flesh.
Zhang Jingxian took a few quick breaths. She didn't feel cold, but she was still worried about the door that was kicked in.
Finally, she gave in and said, "Don't do this here. Go back to your bedroom."
Xie Yun's bedroom was not only spacious, but also filled with precious incense burners, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. Although she was tightly confined, Zhang Jingxian slept soundly.
In the middle of it, a pair of scarlet eyes opened again from the nightmare, staring at her intently, but she didn't notice it at all.
For several days, the hairband in Zhang Jingxian's hand was still not sewn, and the door that was kicked in by Xie Shijun was left as it was, and no one dared to repair it.
Gong Chengyue accidentally saw this and stopped waving the feather fan in his hand. He sighed with a smile, "Is this what a gentleman should do? It's not."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly." Xie Yun glanced at him coldly with a bad temper.
Anyone who has the same nightmare day and night, so real it makes your head spin, will be unhappy with everyone. Except, of course, that peasant girl.
"Winter is coming, Qilang. This year will be an unprecedentedly cold winter."
Gong Chengyue told him the weather he had calculated, his expression unusually solemn. The experienced old farmers in Changling City also began to worry.
Zhang Jingxian walked out from behind the bookshelf holding a book. She just happened to hear Gong Chengyue's words and couldn't help feeling surprised.
She couldn't help but stare at Gong Chengyue eagerly, looking hard at his face, bursting out with unprecedented enthusiasm. She really couldn't believe that the news of heavy snowfall in the previous life was predicted by Gong Chengyue.
"First, draw up a charter."
"Mr. Gongcheng, what else can you calculate?"
Two sentences sounded at the same time. Under Xie Yun's eyes, Zhang Jingxian approached the man holding the feather fan, eager to learn something from him.
Can a person's destiny be changed?
"Ah Xian." Xie Yun called her neither lightly nor harshly, his cold eyes already directed at his good friend.
Zhang Jingxian only then noticed his displeasure. She froze for a moment, pursed her lips, and stopped. Her cousin, Cai Shu, and Gong Chengyue, he was truly hopelessly insane. No matter how close they were, whether male or female, she wouldn't allow him to get close to them.
However, she didn't want to wander around this mansion aimlessly until she became a ghost.
"I will draft the rules. My dear, could you please ask Mr. Gongcheng to help me calculate when I will die?"
Zhang Jingxian spoke very calmly.
