Chapter 144: Floating Yuanzi, Two Hearts Together
"alright."
Jiang Xun gently lifted up Shen Jiasui's hand.
The wound had been bandaged carefully, and even the blood stains had been carefully wiped clean by him with a wet towel.
"Don't exert any strength, don't touch water, and don't hold a knife or a gun during these days."
"I come to your house every day to change your medicine and see if you are following the doctor's orders."
Jiang Xun raised his head while speaking, and saw Shen Jiasui looking down at him. The light in his eyes made his heart palpitate.
"Sui Sui?"
His eyelashes trembled, and he couldn't help but look up and called out softly.
At this time, Shen Jiasui leaned forward slightly and took the initiative to close the distance between him and Jiang Xun.
As she moved, the hair on her shoulders gradually slid down and fell on the back of Jiang Xun's hands resting on his knees.
It is light, soft, itchy and appealing.
Jiang Xun's breathing suddenly became rapid, and when their eyes met, their gazes were entangled, revealing a hint of heat and desire.
Jiang Xun's gaze involuntarily moved slightly downwards and landed on Shen Jiasui's rosy lips.
Year after year......
Is it what he thought?
Jiang Xun couldn't stop his heart from burning with anger. Facing his sweetheart and Sui Sui, he really couldn't be called a gentleman.
He straightened his back slightly, almost ready to go forward, when he suddenly heard Shen Jiasui express great relief and say sincerely:
"Ah Xun, meeting you is such a blessing for me."
As Shen Jiasui spoke, he leaned down, gently put his arms around Jiang Xun's shoulders, and rested his chin on his shoulder.
The fragrance is close to me, and my hair rubs against my cheeks, making me feel itchy.
Jiang Xun was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter.
It was clearly his own lust that led him to mistakenly believe that Sui Sui would——
He raised his hand, gently embraced Shen Jiasui, his eyebrows full of smiles, and said softly:
"Sui Sui, the one who should say he is lucky is me."
"I also want to thank Sui Sui for thinking of me so much tonight."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui stood up abruptly, his eyes shining like stars, "You figured out all this?"
Jiang Xun smiled and nodded, "Of course, Sui Sui went through so much trouble, wasting time and energy, just to legitimately cripple Gu Xizhi's right hand, right?"
"Given Sui Sui's temperament, why should he be so restrained? I think it's for my reputation."
Seeing that Jiang Xun understood everything clearly, Shen Jiasui couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and nodded simply.
There is no need to hide the kindness we show to each other, we just need to let the other person know.
"If I directly cripple Gu Xizhi's hand, she will definitely quarrel with me. In the past, I would not be afraid. Anyway, I never care about reputation or anything like that."
“But it’s different now.”
As Shen Jiasui spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Xun with a serious expression.
"A Xun has worked hard for so many years and gone through countless hardships before he earned the reputation of being an upright and honest official."
"I know you're not doing this for fame or fortune, but only in this way can you make decisions for more people."
"Axun is so well-intentioned. I will be his wife in the future, so I can't hold him back."
"From now on, Ah Xun and I will share honor and disgrace and walk side by side."
Shen Jiasui's feelings are always so straightforward and pure.
Yu Jiangxun, a person who is used to forbearance and overly delicate, is simply full of fatal attraction.
To this day, he still feels thankful over and over again that he chose to stay in the dry well in the plum forest in the Imperial Garden that day.
"Lu Yunzheng is here today, so everything is going well for Axun as well?"
Jiang Xun came back to his senses, smiled and nodded. It seemed that he had never smiled again tonight.
"Well, we can let Lu Yunzheng go according to our plan. I think Sui Sui is also looking forward to seeing Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi stab each other in the back."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui nodded repeatedly, his eyes falling on Jiang Xun's gentle face. Now he understood more and more why King Rui and King Xiang were afraid of him.
Having a good brain can indeed accomplish more than just physical force.
"That's right, Sui Sui."
Jiang Xun suddenly looked up, "On the second day of the second lunar month during the Flower Festival, His Majesty personally climbed Mount Zhou to pray for the people. Do you remember this?"
Shen Jiasui frowned, "Zhou Shan prays for blessings?"
She tried to recall it carefully, but she had no impression of it at all, so she shook her head.
Jiang Xun showed no surprise when he heard this.
"Trajectory is dead, people are alive. A lot has changed in this life, and everyone is moving in response to the trend. I think we are really heading towards the unknown in the future."
"In previous years, people prayed at Zhoushan Mountain for good weather and good harvests, so as to share happiness with the people. Therefore, court officials could bring their families with them, but they could only stay in the official residences and inns at the foot of Zhoushan Mountain."
"The royal family will live with His Majesty in the palace on Mount Zhou, and usually stay for... three days."
When Shen Jiasui heard this, he grasped the key information in Jiang Xun's words.
"In this case, the Crown Princess is afraid that..."
Jiang Xun nodded immediately.
Last time in the Wenhua Pavilion of the Imperial Garden, they had already talked about the situation of the Crown Princess. It was a good time for Zhou Shan to pray for the blessing of both King Rui and King Xiang.
"Sui Sui, it's more than that."
Jiang Xun's face was full of guilt. "Because of our marriage proposal, I'm afraid you will be in danger during this trip to Zhoushan."
Shen Jiasui had just thought of this, and she smiled and said, "Ning'er will definitely go too."
"Axun just mentioned the double act a few days ago. Look, even the stage has been set up."
Jiang Xun saw that Shen Jiasui knew everything, and he couldn't help but feel pity and relief.
"I have some ideas and strategies for this trip. Sui Sui, please allow me two more days to think about it. Then we can come back and share what we have."
Shen Jiasui was naturally 100% confident in Jiang Xun, and immediately said with a smile: "Then I will wait for good news."
The two were looking at each other and smiling when they suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside.
Jiang Xun hurriedly got up to look, and then he heard Shen Jiaheng's voice: "Sister!"
He strode in, carrying a food box in his hand.
Shen Jiasui stepped forward and asked curiously, "Brother Heng, what did you buy?"
Shen Jiaheng opened the food box as if presenting a treasure, and said with a smile: "Don't you like the floating dumplings from Zhaixinglou the most?"
Shen Jiasui's eyes lit up, and then his face was filled with emotion and surprise, "Brother Heng..."
Shen Jiaheng chuckled and put the lunch box on the low table. "I was injured today, so I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to go to Zhaixing Tower again, but I can't let you go home disappointed no matter what."
"It's still steaming, sis, come and eat it!"
Jiang Xun stood aside and saw Shen Jiaheng busying around, and his heart was filled with warmth.
Jiaheng is really caring towards Suisui.
Shen Jiasui was sitting at the low table with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to pick up a spoon, he was startled and almost forgot that his right hand was still injured.
She immediately switched to her left hand. At this time, Shen Jiaheng gently pushed Jiang Xun and whispered:
"Master Jiang will have a good time tonight."
Jiang Xun was startled when he heard this, and Shen Jiaheng had already lifted the curtain and walked out.
"Brother Heng, Axun, come and eat together!"
Shen Jiasui turned around and saw that Jiang Xun was the only one left in the room. He was stunned, "Where is Brother Heng?"
Jiang Xun looked at the swaying door curtain and couldn't help but chuckle.
Indeed, from ancient times to the present, it has always been crucial to have a good relationship with your brother-in-law.
He walked over to sit opposite Shen Jiasui and said with a smile, "Jiaheng is out. He said that I have a good deal tonight and asked me to eat with Suisui."
As Jiang Xun spoke, he naturally took the spoon from Shen Jiasui, scooped up a plump and round floating dumpling, and held it up in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui glanced outside, feeling both touched and amused.
Brother Heng is also a person who speaks tough words but is soft-hearted.
Ever since Axun came to propose marriage, Brother Heng often bullied Axun in front of her.
But the way she did it, it seemed that she was very satisfied with her future brother-in-law.
"Why does Sui Sui like to eat floating dumplings?"
Jiang Xun's voice drew Shen Jiasui's attention back.
She shook her head. "It's not that I like eating it that much, but I think it represents family reunion, so I can't miss it every year during the Lantern Festival."
As she said this, the floating dumpling was already at her mouth.
Shen Jiasui's face flushed.
Under Jiang Xun's eager gaze, she still opened her mouth and took the dumpling into her mouth, her cheeks puffed up slightly.
Jiang Xun smiled, "In my hometown, floating dumplings have other meanings."
Shen Jiasui looked curious, chewing a dumpling in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "What?"
Jiang Xun scooped up another floating dumpling and stared at Shen Jiasui. His eyes were like a lake with rippling waves, and his emotions flowed slowly like silk.
He curled his lips and said meaningfully: "Flowers are endless, the moon is infinite, and our hearts are the same."
"Sui Sui and I ate the same bowl of floating dumplings. From now on, Sui Sui and I are of the same mind."
As Jiang Xun spoke, he brought the floating dumplings to his mouth.
Seeing this, Shen Jiasui quickly reached out to stop him, "Wait, this spoon——"
Before she finished her words, she saw Jiang Xun already holding the spoon slightly and putting the floating dumplings into his mouth without hesitation.
Shen Jiasui immediately leaned back slightly, and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his lips. At this moment, his face was flushed like pink clouds.
That spoon was hers...she had just used it...
When Jiang Xun saw Shen Jiansui's reaction, he couldn't help but smile, and he felt his heart beating happily and quickly in his chest.
His eyes were blazing, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and there was a hint of... "badness" and secret joy that Shen Jiasui had never seen before.
He did it... on purpose.
