After hearing Xiao Hechuan's explanation, Cheng Xueyun was indeed very lucky. She was supposed to be a concubine's daughter, but unexpectedly she became a legitimate daughter all of a sudden.
Jiang Sui felt a little sympathetic towards the eldest daughter who died young. She silently imagined a palace infighting drama in her head.
Who made her such a dramatic actress?
Of course, Xiao Hechuan didn't know what she was thinking. In Kyoto, there were overt and covert struggles behind almost every mansion.
"This Cheng Xueyun is really too high-profile. When she left just now, the look in her eyes showed that she would not let me go. But her brother is sensible and humble. I saw that he has the same facial features as me, and for some reason, I feel a sense of familiarity with him!"
Jiang Sui thought of Cheng Moyang and knew that he had a pair of dimples when he smiled, just like him. He didn't know why, but he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with him.
When Xiao Hechuan heard this, he felt jealous.
He didn't allow Jiang Sui to have any affection or even any feeling of intimacy with any strange man other than him.
Xiao Hechuan didn't say anything. Jiang Sui tilted her head to look at him. Seeing that he looked serious and stern, she knew that he was jealous.
I suddenly found it funny and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Tsurukawa, do you smell something sour? It's like a vinegar jar has been overturned!"
She still had the mind to tease him and didn't know how to comfort himself. Xiao Hechuan felt even more sad.
He reached out and pinched her face, not using much strength.
At this moment, he also discovered that Suisui and Cheng Moyang not only had the same pair of dimples, but also had the same eye shape.
But now, Jiang Sui's face is not the same as it was two years ago, when he was pale, skinny and bony. Now he has taken good care of himself and has some flesh on his face, which feels good to touch.
He pinched it a little, and it turned slightly red. Jiang Sui gently slapped his hand away:
"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, and I will never be friendly to other people again."
Fortunately, she admitted her mistake quickly, so Xiao Hechuan went down the stairs without making things difficult for her any further.
During the following period of time, Jiang Sui's daily task was to travel around Kyoto accompanied by Qiu Shui Yiren, eating whatever delicious food he saw and buying whatever beautiful clothes and jewelry he saw.
This place is worthy of being the capital of the emperor. Everything here is unique and fresh. Even the clothes are more beautiful and exquisite than those in other provinces. Every industry is extremely inward-looking.
The cost of living here is also high. If you don’t have some money, you really won’t be able to have fun in Kyoto.
Xia Wanning took Helian Jing into consideration and really resisted the urge to come and play with Jiang Sui again.
Xiao Hechuan took Qi Xiuyuan and Lu Yao to review their lessons every day. He intentionally or unintentionally directed the focus of their review to the test questions.
…
It is said that after Cheng Moyang left Baixi Garden that day, Jiang Sui's smile and appearance could not be erased from his mind.
It’s not that he fell in love with Jiang Sui, but he was a little dazed because she looked so much like his mother when she was young.
Wasn't his sister, who died young and had bad luck, also a regret in his heart?
At that time, he was only four years old. He would lie on his mother's belly every day to listen to the movements. When his sister was six or seven months pregnant, she became strong enough to kick him through her belly. His mother's performance and feelings throughout the pregnancy were very normal. Even the imperial physician said that the fetus in her belly was very healthy.
But things did not go as they wished. God played a huge joke on them and their sister died shortly after she was born.
He looked at Cheng Xueyun who was still angry and full of resentment, and sighed helplessly. Over the years, his mother had never forgotten her sister who died young. She was looking at her sister through Xueyun, and poured all the love she had prepared for her sister on her, spoiling her and making her look fearless.
There were several times when he almost spoke out of turn. If he hadn't been alert at all times, who knows how much trouble he would have caused.
In fact, it is undeniable that he felt sorry for his own sister, so he took all his regrets for her out on Xueyun, and cultivated her arrogant habit since she was a child.
There’s nothing I can do. I spoil her, what else can I do?
But he was very worried that he couldn't be by her side all the time, and he didn't know what kind of trouble she would get into next time with her mouth and her style of doing things.
Thinking of that woman, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, but already had her hair in a bun, if his sister were still alive, she would probably look similar to her.
Women in common families get married early, but women from wealthy families get married a little later. If his younger sister were still alive, he and his father and mother would not be willing to let her get married and have children so early.
Xueyun is also being discussed for marriage now, but because of her personality and her glorious deeds, the young men from the noble families in Kyoto avoid her as much as possible, thinking that she is not suitable for marriage and family life, which worries their whole family.
However, my father thought that this year was the year of the imperial examination, and since the children of noble families were avoiding it, he had to wait until the imperial examination was over and then choose a son-in-law from the list.
After seeing her brother get on the carriage, Cheng Xueyun kept frowning in deep thought. No one knew what she was thinking about, nor did she know how to comfort herself. Her pouting lips looked so tight that you could hang a few pieces of bacon on them.
"Brother, what were you thinking just now? Why should we, the son and daughter of a marquis, be afraid of a few lowly people?"
"Untouchables? Xueyun, you are really becoming more and more unreasonable. A country is based on its people. The country cannot be built without the existence and support of the common people. Your Majesty works hard and only sleeps three hours a day, just to make Daqing prosperous and strong, and the people can live and work in peace. The soldiers stationed on the border are also to protect the peace of this country and to protect the people of Daqing from the suffering brought by the war. How can the people of Liming, who your Majesty and the soldiers have tried their best to protect, become untouchables in your eyes?"
You can't look down on ordinary people just because you are born into a noble family. The common people pay taxes to the court every year. Every brick and tile of our mansion, the silk and satin you and I wear, and my father's salary are all taken from the people. You have no right to call them pariahs!"
Here it comes again. Cheng Xueyun feels overwhelmed listening to all the profound truths Cheng Moyang has to say.
He kept talking about these big truths over and over again, and even if he said he wasn't tired of it, he himself was tired of hearing them.
But she couldn't refute it.
"Brother~ I just want you to protect me a little more in front of outsiders, but you always use these great principles to teach me. Besides, people are divided into high and low, noble and humble, and they are born into the common people, and they can't change it. We are the gentry and are ranked first. We are nobler than them. How can we say a few words to them?"
Cheng Xueyun said it as a matter of course, but she still didn't know how to restrain herself.
Cheng Moyang held his forehead, exhausted.
Never mind. There's no point in reasoning with her.
