Chapter 123 Future Young Lady
Wenhua Pavilion.
It was late at night. Mr. Lin was old after all, and he was tired after making jokes for a while. After Jiang Xun's repeated urging, he finally went to rest.
At this time, Jiang Xun was still leaning on the couch, with Nanfeng, Xifeng and Beifeng standing beside him.
Bei Feng looked stern as he reported in a low voice, "Sir, I heard from you that you had captured Prince Rui's spy in the winter plum forest. Although he was not dead, he was very tight-lipped and we didn't get anything out of him."
Jiang Xun waved his hand upon hearing this, "No problem, a spy can't get too many things out of you, the purpose is to muddy the waters."
Bei Feng nodded, but now there was a hint of hesitation on his face.
Jiang Xun saw this and asked, "What's wrong? Feel free to tell me."
Bei Feng scratched his head and said uncertainly, "I was just in the wintersweet forest. It would have been better if I had stayed hidden for a while longer."
"At that time, I seemed to see a dark shadow. Unfortunately, Prince Rui's men were about to catch up with you. I didn't dare to joke with your safety, so I had to show up and give chase."
Jiang Xun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but seemed to quickly guess where the black shadow came from, so he shook his head.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"You all go down and have a rest. Come back to the Bo's Mansion with me tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, South Wind and North Wind retreated obediently, but West Wind shook his head and said, "I will guard the young master tonight."
Jiang Xun did not say much when he saw this. After the North and South winds had retreated, he suddenly asked:
"Xifeng, you haven't forgotten what I taught you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xifeng immediately came to the front of the couch. Although he was a grown man, his eyes were sparkling when he looked at Jiang Xun.
"Sir, I have certainly not forgotten all those... um... first aid methods you mentioned, yes, first aid methods, I know them all!"
"These days, according to the young master's instructions, I have also taught the methods to the doctors and pharmacists in the shops below."
"Oh, and those knives you drew for me, sir—"
"Scalpel." Jiang Xun corrected.
Xifeng nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I have asked a skilled craftsman to make a scalpel, but...how do I use it?"
Jiang Xun's brows relaxed and he chuckled, "It's just a hypothesis. There's no rush. Let me see it first. It's not that simple."
Xifeng responded hurriedly, his eyes full of expectation and concern.
"Sir, don't talk about this for now. Don't you have to go back to the Bo's Mansion tomorrow? You should take a rest now."
Jiang Xun nodded and was about to lie down when he suddenly said, "Send a message to Dongfeng tomorrow and ask him to go back to the Bo's Mansion as well."
Xifeng was slightly surprised when he heard this. х
Although the Bo family does not have a large property, the young master has received rewards from the emperor and Prince Xianhuai over the years and has considerable wealth.
After the East, South, West and North winds arrived at the young master's side, they each performed their respective duties. East wind has been helping the young master manage the household assets.
Now the four of them are gathered together at once, what big thing has happened?
Xifeng was a man who could not keep secrets, so when he thought of something, he asked it out loud.
Jiang Xun lowered his eyebrows slightly when he heard that, and actually smiled brightly at this moment.
"It is only right for you to count the property for your future young lady."
Xifeng slowly opened his mouth, his eyes almost popped out. Even though he was so eloquent, he now became a stutterer.
"Wei Wei Wei... the future young lady? Is it... the girl just now?"
Jiang Xun felt that he couldn't stop smiling tonight, so he nodded and said generously, "Yes."
Xifeng clapped his hands suddenly, "It's over! Did I give the young lady a cold shoulder just now?"
"That kid Nanfeng must have known about this, but he didn't even tell me! Wow!"
Xifeng turned around and rushed out in a hurry with a loud noise.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Xun looked at the swaying curtains, and at this moment his heart began to surge.
Since I'm going to choose a day to propose to the Shen family, I have to inform my father and mother no matter what.
He spent another ten years making up for his guilt. Now, having met Sui Sui, he also wanted to... have his own home and place to return to.
This time, he would not back down no matter what.
When his thoughts reached this point, Shen Jiasui's bright smile flashed before his eyes very naturally, and Jiang Xun felt relieved.
He pulled out the pillow behind him, slowly lay down, and when he closed his eyes again, for the first time in ten years, he hoped that tomorrow would come sooner.
"Year after year..."
Jiang Xun murmured softly, pulled the quilt tightly around him, and fell asleep peacefully.
That night, there was no more turmoil and anxiety in my dreams.
There was only the warm sun shining, the grass growing and the birds flying. Shen Jiasui stood in the spring breeze, waving at him with a smile and opening his arms to him.

A little earlier.
After Lu Yunzheng left the wintersweet forest, he remembered that he had been so excited that he had forgotten to bring the wintersweet branches for Gu Xizhi.
So he turned back again, and unexpectedly ran into Cui Mingjue who was walking out of the forest alone.
He subconsciously held his breath, and then saw a man coming towards Cui Mingjue, who seemed to be one of the young men who often hung out with him.
"Mingjue, look at your expression, could it be..."
Lu Yunzheng saw Cui Mingjue shaking his head. Although the light was not good, he could still see his frustration and bitterness.
"That's all."
The young man opposite couldn't help but show surprise upon hearing this, and immediately raised his voice slightly: "This Shen Jiasui is really ungrateful. How can she, a woman who has broken off an engagement, still have the nerve to reject you?"
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
What?
Cui Mingjue actually also fell in love with Shen Jiasui.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lu Yunzheng suddenly realized why Cui Mingjue, the young master, was willing to risk his life and come out to participate in the competition in broad daylight on the court.
He originally thought that Cui Mingjue was trying to show his goodwill to Princess An Ning, but he didn't expect that he was also doing it for Shen Jiasui!
Why is it that after being reborn, everyone falls in love with Shen Jiasui?
Lu Yunzheng didn't understand, but whenever he thought that Shen Jiasui, who was so popular among people, was actually his wife, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Who would have thought that at this time, Cui Mingjue would actually get angry, "Mingcheng, if you say this to Miss Shen again next time, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
"Mingjue, you——"
The young man obviously did not expect that Cui Mingjue would actually scold him for Shen Jiasui.
Cui Mingjue was obviously serious, and said coldly: "Don't let me hear a word against Miss Shen from you again!"
After Cui Mingjue finished speaking, he walked away with a cold face.
The young man hurriedly caught up, begging for mercy: "Mingjue, don't be angry, can't I just stop talking?"
The figures of the two gradually disappeared in the wintersweet forest. Lu Yunzheng walked out from the side with a gloomy face, but in the next moment, he raised his lips coldly.
Whether it is Jiang Xun or Cui Mingjue, Prince Xiang would probably not want to see either of them marry Shen Jiasui.
Shen Jiasui should still marry him.
After all, only in this way can the strategy from the previous life be better implemented, right?
Lu Yunzheng had a plan in mind, so he hurried out of the woods holding the wintersweet branch. He rode away from the imperial garden without even waiting for the banquet to end.
He had lost all face at the banquet today and couldn't stay any longer.
————
Villa.
Gu Xizhi didn't expect Lu Yunzheng to come back so early, and was worried that he didn't pick the "best wintersweet branches" as he said.
But when Lu Yunzheng returned, his steps were brisk, and the gloom that had been lingering between his brows for these days seemed to have dissipated a little.
Gu Xizhi's eyes lit up when she saw this. Could it be... that it has already been done?
She stepped forward to greet him, and Lu Yunzheng handed the wintersweet branch to her as if to seek credit.
Gu Xizhi said coquettishly, "But as Yunzheng said, the branch of wintersweet you brought to Xizhi is the best?"
Lu Yunzheng nodded immediately and said with a smile, "Of course."
What he brought back today was not only the wintersweet branches, but also the hope of turning things around!
Gu Xizhi carefully observed Lu Yunzheng's expression and knew that it was time to succeed. She relaxed her brows and thought to herself:
It seems that we can take the next step...
