Chapter 121: See You Every Year
The two of them were sitting at separate tables at this time, but they couldn't help but lean closer to each other, their eyes locked on one another, and it seemed that they had said a thousand words in the silence.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, followed by a cautious voice:
"Sir, it's almost midnight."
When the hour of Hai arrives, everyone should leave the Imperial Garden and return home.
Shen Jiasui was suddenly frightened when he heard Nanfeng's voice and stepped back, then sat up straight in an instant.
But her face was flushed, and her drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, making her look very guilty.
Jiang Xun couldn't help but raise his lips.
He no longer wanted to restrain himself in front of Shen Jiasui, so he let a smile creep up to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, revealing an unprecedented cheerfulness and unbridled attitude.
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Xun turned his head and raised his voice, instructing Nanfeng outside the hall.
Upon hearing this, Nanfeng immediately responded with a "yes" and consciously retreated under the eaves outside the hall.
When Jiang Xun withdrew his gaze, he saw Shen Jiasui obviously relaxed his shoulders, and he felt relieved.
"Ms. Shen."
He called out softly once more, and now, he didn't know whether it was because of the remaining medicine or because of his excessive emotions, but his breathing was a little hot.
"Today, I have the audacity to confess my feelings to you in private. This is extremely rude and presumptuous."
"Xiuzhi doesn't dare to break the rules again, so he will ask Miss Shen if he is qualified.
From now on, I will be with you day and night, through the cold and heat, and we will see each other often. ”
This was the deepest wish and expectation hidden in Jiang Xun's heart all these days, and tonight he finally expressed it in front of Shen Jiasui.
As soon as he said this, he clenched his hands tightly on the low table, but suppressed all his anxiety and uneasiness, raised his eyes and looked directly at Shen Jiasui, and continued:
"If Miss Shen is willing to favor Xiuzhi, then Xiuzhi should choose an auspicious day to personally visit General Shen and Madam Shen."
“Miss Shen, I’m in a difficult situation, and my family background… maybe General Shen and Madam Shen will find Xiuzhi difficult to entrust.”
"But Xiuzhi will not give up. I will shamelessly visit them a few more times and let General Shen and Madam Shen see my sincerity."
"After obtaining the permission from my parents, Xiuzhi should prepare the three matchmakers and six ceremonies, respectfully inform the heaven and earth and ancestors, choose an auspicious date, and respectfully marry Miss Shen as your wife."
"From now on, you and I will live together, and we have a long future ahead of us—"
At this point, Jiang Xun's face flushed, and he was so nervous that his mouth was dry.
Shen Jiasui turned her head slightly, and Jiang Xun's words sounded like thunder in a spring night to her ears.
She...she had never thought that one day she would become husband and wife with Lord Jiang...
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Shen Jiasui felt her chest beating violently. She was so scared that she quickly raised her hand to touch her chest. A blush instantly spread from her ears to her neck.
Is she willing?
Shen Jiasui hadn't figured it out yet, but her heart seemed to have agreed for her.
Bang, bang, bang——
It felt like it was about to jump out of my chest, just to get closer to the person on the other side.
Jiang Xun has been waiting for a long time.
But he didn't dare to urge him. He just sat there obediently, looking at Shen Jiasui eagerly, like a good child waiting for candy.
Shen Jiasui bit his lower lip lightly, and at this moment countless images flashed through his mind. His past and present lives were intertwined, and light and shadow flowed, finally all frozen on that crimson figure.
She raised her eyes slightly, even though she was really shy and flustered at the moment, she still chose to look directly at Jiang Xun.
In just a moment, she fell into a pool of spring water, which was the hot yet gentle gaze of Lord Jiang.
Shen Jiasui's heart suddenly softened, and endless joy rushed out of his chest without any hesitation.
She is an honest and brave woman. Once she makes up her mind, she will never hesitate or retreat.
"Master Jiang."
Shen Jiasui called him softly.
Jiang Xun suddenly sat up straight, and saw Miss Shen's eyes curved, tears in her smile, like a warm light pouring down on him, illuminating him.
"If this person is you."
"From now on, I wish to be with you through thick and thin, through thick and thin, year after year... always by your side."
"So, go ask my parents for marriage, Lord Jiang. I'll be waiting for you."
Every word Shen Jiasui spoke was firm and clear, and all of them fell into Jiang Xun's heart.
Jiang Xun felt his heart tremble, and a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, but he could no longer hold back his tears.
Ten years of darkness, one day of clarity.
From then on, there was always warm sunshine above my head, and I walked in the sunshine, with flowers blooming at every step.
"I couldn't ask for more."
"Year after year..."
————
Nanfeng was getting a little impatient and was hesitating whether to urge him again, but he was secretly glad that it was he who came this time.
If Xifeng was the impatient person, he would have lifted the curtain and rushed in long ago, which would have ruined the young master's life.
Nanfeng was daydreaming when footsteps were finally heard in the inner room.
He was delighted and turned around to greet them, then he saw Shen Jiasui and Jiang Xun coming out one after another.
Nanfeng's expression changed slightly.
You must know that Xifeng has explained in detail that it is not appropriate for the young master to stay at the hotel.
Although he thought so, he was not a talkative person after all, and looked at Jiang Xun as if asking for instructions.
Unexpectedly, before Jiang Xun could say anything, Shen Jiasui spoke up: "Nanfeng, I will still leave through the secret passage. Please give me a torch."
"As for Lord Jiang, I have advised him not to see me off. Just take care of him yourself."
"yes!"
Nan Feng responded crisply and loudly. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help scratching his head.
Hey, the young master hasn't spoken yet, why is he listening to Miss Shen so much...
Ahem, maybe it’s because the young master follows Miss Shen obediently, which makes him feel that Miss Shen will still be the one in charge of this family in the future.
Sure enough, the next moment, he heard his master say, “Nanfeng, do as Miss Sui…Shen said.”
Nan Feng’s inner thoughts: Look, look!
Shen Jiasui took the torch, turned to Jiang Xun and said, "Master Jiang, time is running out, I will not ask for my resignation from Elder Lin, please remember to tell him for me."
Jiang Xun nodded, his eyes fixed on Shen Jiasui's face, never moving away.
"Okay, it's dark in the secret passage, at least let Nanfeng take you there."
Shen Jiasui turned around and smiled at Jiang Xun, "It's nothing, no need to bother."
As she spoke, she jumped into the well quickly, and the fire quickly disappeared into the secret passage.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The snowflakes are falling outside, and it is almost New Year's Eve.
Da da da——
The sound of brisk footsteps came from the corridor under the eaves and landed beside Jiang Xun.
"Did you get what you wanted?"
The one with the nonchalant voice was none other than Mr. Lin.
“The old man was afraid of disturbing you, but he waited until Miss Shen left before he dared to come out.”
Jiang Xun did not look back, his eyes fell on the lanterns under the eaves, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly:
"Teacher, I'm so lucky."
"Look at how worthless you are."
Mr. Lin laughed, but if you look at his expression, you can see relief and love in his eyes.
"Xiuzhi, Miss Shen is a very good girl. The teacher will not be wrong."
"From now on, for Miss Shen's sake, you must be more thoughtful and considerate of yourself, cherish your life, and live a long life with Miss Shen until old age."
Jiang Xun tilted his head when he heard that, and vaguely saw a trace of melancholy on his teacher's face.
He opened his mouth, about to speak, but stopped. Finally, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Teacher, how about a game of chess?"
Elder Lin suddenly came back to his senses and turned back into his old naughty boy self. He glanced at Jiang Xun up and down, even deliberately lingering on a certain part.
"Are you still interested in playing chess?"
Jiang Xun: “…”
Well, it seems that he wasted his time.
"In that case, I will go and rest."
Jiang Xun turned around and walked inside. Elder Lin immediately came over and pulled his arm with a teasing look on his face.
"Come on, Xiuzhi, tell the teacher quickly, how did you win Miss Shen's heart just now?"
"The teacher is either curious or worried that you are not good at speaking, so he is checking for your shortcomings and filling them in for you."
"Did you touch my hand? If you are so frivolous, Xiu Zhi, it is your fault."
"Hey Xiuzhi, why are you blushing?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, young man, there are still many good days ahead..."
Wenhua Pavilion was noisy again, and one could faintly hear Jiang Xun's several attempts to refuse and plead for mercy.
The warm room is lit up and fireworks are set off every year.
An old person in the family is like a treasure.
If Yu Jiangxun and Shen Jiasui are the bright sun and the redeeming love, then Mr. Lin is the gentle spring breeze and rain, the benefactor who recreates the past.
