Chapter 89: Moon in the Sky
Shen Jiasui received the "good news" from Aunt Zhou that night.
This time the letter was particularly substantial. Aunt Zhou told the whole story in detail, including everything that had happened in General Zhaoyong's mansion that day.
Baiji stood aside and saw the smile on his young lady's face, and he knew that the matter was settled.
"Congratulations Miss!"
Although she doesn’t know what the young lady is planning, she is happy as long as the young lady is happy!
Shen Jiasui put the letter away carefully and smiled at Baiji, "You are so sweet-talking. I will take you out to play tomorrow."
Bai Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Miss, where are we going?"
Shen Jiasui smiled and said, "Go find Brother Heng and give him some knee-length clothes."
She had not hidden the affairs of the Lu Mansion from brother Heng. Even though brother Heng had gone to the Imperial College, she was afraid he was still thinking about her.
There were many people in the Imperial College and it would be risky to deliver the letter, so she decided to go there herself.
Furthermore...
To her shame, she has not been as thoughtful as Miss Lu and has not yet prepared knee-length clothes for Brother Heng.
Baiji finally understood after hearing this.
No wonder the young lady suddenly started packing her bags this afternoon.
But...she seemed to see the young lady stuffing more than ten pairs of knee-length clothes in at once. The young master doesn't have cold legs, does he really need so many?
When he looked up again, he saw the young lady's proud look of "I am such a good sister", and Baiji chose to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
After washing up, Shen Jiasui leaned back on the couch and began to sort out the things that needed to be done.
It was obvious that Lu Yunzheng had been forced into a desperate situation.
Mrs. Lu was under house arrest and had lost her power as the head of the household, so naturally no one sent her money anymore.
And this time, Lu Yunzheng had completely fallen out with General Lu.
Should he...go look for the person behind this?
Some time ago, Lu Yunzheng lived in a very difficult situation, and he had not been transferred from the command department like in his previous life. Shen Jiasui guessed that Lu Yunzheng had not yet established contact with that person.
Now, the time is finally right.
If Lu Yunzheng wanted to recommend himself, his closest chance must be...Princess Jieyou's welcoming banquet!
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui turned over on the couch excitedly.
This opportunity is rare, she must keep a close eye on Lu Yunzheng!
————
On the second day, Shen Jiasui personally carried a bag of knee-length clothes and boarded the carriage to the Imperial College with Baiji.
She loved riding horses, but she couldn't bear to let Baiji blow the cold wind with her.
On the other side, Shen Jiaheng was sitting behind the desk with his eyes shining, staring at Jiang Xun who was sitting with Old Lin.
Jiang Xun lowered his eyes slightly, frowning slightly.
The young master of the Shen family was not the type to hide things. His eyes were so direct that he stared at him for almost an hour.
At this time, Elder Lin glanced at the clepsydra beside him, put the book in his hand on the desk, and said in a gentle voice:
"Today's class is over. You should review diligently and think deeply about what you have learned in the hope of making progress."
Everyone in the hall stood up at the same time after hearing this, and bowed to Mr. Lin: "We will follow your instructions, sir."
Not until Mr. Lin nodded did everyone sit back and pack up their stationery. Looking around, there were dozens of people in the room, but no one made a sound.
Soon, everyone stood up and filed out, but Shen Jiaheng stood there motionless.
Ji Xueyi thought Shen Jiaheng was waiting for him, so he walked up and gently tugged at his sleeve.
Shen Jiaheng waved his hand and said, "Cousin Ji, you go first. I have a question for Lord Jiang today."
Cui Mingjue and his group were walking towards the door. Hearing this, Cui Mingjue turned around to glance at Shen Jiaheng, then looked at Jiang Xun who had an expressionless face behind him.
When the people nearby saw Cui Mingjue stop, they couldn't help but look puzzled.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a man hurried in from outside the hall, walked against the flow of people to Cui Mingjue's side, and whispered something in his ear.
Cui Mingjue's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He immediately withdrew his gaze and walked out quickly.
When Ji Xueyi heard Shen Jiaheng say this, he left first. Soon, only Lin Lao, Jiang Xun and Shen Jiaheng were left in the hall.
Old Lin raised his head from behind the desk. He naturally knew that the young man in front of him was Miss Shen's brother, and he couldn't help but show interest.
"Xiuzhi, the master has something to ask for the chief priest. You can go to the carriage and wait for the master later."
Jiang Xun responded respectfully upon hearing this.
Mr. Lin got up and left. When he passed by Shen Jiaheng, he couldn't help but look Shen Jiaheng up and down several times.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard Jiang Xun cough lightly.
Jiang Xun knew his teacher well after all. If he didn't stop him, who knew what inappropriate words the old man would say.
Old Lin snorted in his heart and walked away with heavy steps.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun picked up the bookcase for Mr. Lin, stood up and walked out. Shen Jiaheng couldn't wait to greet him.
"Master Jiang."
"What is it?"
"I heard that Prince Rong acted as a matchmaker for Lord Jiang and my sister?"
This question is so straightforward.
Jiang Xun paused and turned to look at Shen Jiaheng, only to see him blinking his big eyes and looking at him sincerely.
Jiang Xun: “….”
"Master Shen, this matter should not be made public. It will do your sister a hundred harms and no benefit."
When Shen Jiaheng heard this, he was sure that Jiang Xun also knew about it, and he became even more excited.
"Master Jiang, my sister is naturally beautiful, smart, virtuous and talented, eloquent, and skilled in martial arts. She is the best woman in the world!"
Jiang Xun frowned slightly when he heard this. He naturally knew all this.
But looking at Shen Jiaheng's expression, doesn't he know that it was Miss Shen who rejected this marriage proposal herself?
Miss Shen has no interest in him.
Of course, this is a good thing. He would not have agreed to this marriage in the first place, and he would not allow himself to drag others down.
Seeing that Shen Jiaheng didn't seem to understand the whole situation, Jiang Xun said calmly: "Master Shen, for the sake of your sister's reputation, don't mention these words in front of any other men in the future."
"Today, I will just assume that you didn't say a word."
Having said this, Jiang Xun quickened his pace and walked out.
Shen Jiaheng became anxious when he saw this.
If you say Lord Jiang has no interest in my sister, he is defending her in every sentence. If you say he has interest in her, I can't tell...
Did my sister reject Prince Rong, so that Lord Jiang gave up the idea?
Jiang Xun had already walked several steps away. Shen Jiaheng began to doubt whether he had made a mistake in matching couples. After hesitating for a moment, he could not help but catch up with him and whispered:
"Master Jiang, what do you mean by comparing a person to the 'moon in the sky'?"
Jiang Xun did not stop, but a hint of yellow light flashed through his mind because of these words.
And there is the smiling face behind the veil.
Moon in the sky?
At this moment, he actually felt it was very appropriate.
Shen Jiaheng was still waiting for Jiang Xun's answer, but at this moment, a person came hurriedly from a distance and went straight to Shen Jiaheng's side. It was Bai Mu.
"Master, the young lady is here to look for you. She is waiting for you outside the Imperial College!"
Bai Mu came here in a hurry and only took a breath after he finished speaking.
Shen Jiaheng couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and was surprised and happy, "Sister is here? Come on, I'll go right away!"
Shen Jiaheng was filled with joy and walked out quickly. After he had walked several steps, he remembered Jiang Xun who was standing beside him.
He turned around, only to see Jiang Xun standing there, looking at him indifferently.
When Lord Jiang heard that his sister was coming, he was calm?
When Shen Jiaheng saw this scene, he was finally deflated.
But he was unwilling to give in. After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn back and said to Jiang Xun:
"Master Jiang, someone who said you are from 'Tian Shang Yue' is here."
Shen Jiaheng left this sentence and didn't dare to keep Shen Jiasui waiting for long, so he almost ran out.
Jiang Xun still stood there, but his originally calm expression suddenly became disturbed at this moment.
His eyes widened slightly, and a hint of shock crept into his brows, but it quickly turned into flattery.
The surprise hadn't even worn off when an indescribable sense of honor rose in my heart again.
Miss Shen said, he is Tian Shang Yue?
But it is clear that she is.
Perhaps realizing that his emotions were fluctuating too much, Jiang Xun immediately lowered his brows, but at this moment, he truly caught a glimpse of a secret yearning in his heart.
He thought he had a heart as strong as iron, but after meeting and helping each other several times, he finally developed unnecessary indulgence and extravagant expectations.
So restrained, yet difficult to suppress.
Jiang Xun rarely showed hesitation. He stood there for a long time, but finally took a step forward.
He just followed his instructions and went to the carriage to wait for the teacher.
Jiang Xun thought so.
