Chapter 66: I am most afraid of sudden concern
Young Master Sun's eyes widened in disbelief. "You won't save me?"
"I'm still injured and I'm almost childless, and you still want to throw me in jail?"
"What else?" Sun Zhiye asked in a deep voice.
"Go away, I want to see my parents." Young Master Sun grabbed the jade pendant from his waist and threw it at Sun Zhiye.
The jade pendant shattered into pieces the moment it hit the ground. The sharp fragments scratched the back of Sun Zhiye's hand, and a thin line of blood oozed out.
Sun Zhiye turned a blind eye and let the blood thicken and overflow, flowing all over the back of his hand. "During this period of time, I will properly arrange my business outside the city and stay in Changhe for the time being."
"It's useless to see my parents."
"They may scold me angrily, but I will just accept it."
"But given the choice, they dare not ignore my wishes."
"You are so confident and complacent, I'm afraid you don't even know that you have caused a huge trouble."
"She's just a fake daughter of the Yongning Marquis!" Young Master Sun shouted unconvinced.
Hearing this, Sun Zhiye suddenly felt dizzy, and a buzzing sound echoed in his head.
Isn’t it?
"Idiot!"
Sun Zhiye could no longer tolerate this and slapped the unrepentant and complacent face of Sun Ershao.
"Take care of yourself and reflect on your mistakes!"
Sun Zhiye ignored the second young master's incompetent rage and turned around and left the county government office.
The identity of a rich girl might be fake, but the knowledge and perspectives she gained from growing up in a wealthy mansion over the years are real, and the connections she has made are real.
Even if he is a prominent figure and only a tenth of his former connections are left, he is still not someone who can be easily provoked.
The county magistrate is so cautious and cautious, it must be that a noble person has specifically entrusted him with this.
Such a person is like a piece of exquisite yet fragile porcelain. Others avoid him as much as possible, and his stupid brother provokes and insults him again and again.
You are really looking for death.
Here, Sun Zhiye ordered his capable men to split into two groups, one to collect information about what the Second Young Master Sun had done in Changhe County in the past two years, and the other to secretly rush to Changxi Village to inquire about Lu Mingchao's recent situation after he returned to his hometown to recognize his relatives.
After thinking it over, he ordered his deputy, who had followed him around the country for many years in business, to go to Beijing in person.
Over there, Xie Yan was carrying a basket full of eggs, radishes and cabbages, with scattered cabbage leaves hanging on his shoulders. Looking from a distance, someone who didn't know the situation might think that he was venting his anger by being thrown rotten vegetable leaves.
Lu Mingchao covered his mouth and laughed secretly, his eyes narrowed into a thin crescent.
"I am most afraid of the air suddenly becoming hot, and of others suddenly showing concern for me."
When she and Xie Yan came out of the county government office, many people chased after them and gave them gifts.
An egg, a radish, a late cabbage, and a fist-sized bag of rice, simple and sincere.
Xie Yan sighed helplessly, "Ming Dynasty."
It's not that they don't need these things, but they cherish the kindness.
Lu Mingchao cleared his throat, adjusted his breathing, suppressed his smile, and took two steps forward with a smile on his face. He tiptoed gently and carefully plucked the cabbage leaves from Xie Yan's hair and clothes one by one. He then put the leaves into a pile of baskets in an orderly manner.
"If a person's stomach can be sewn, why can't a bamboo basket be sewn?"
"Ah Yan, this little vegetable leaf in my hair looks like a jade hairpin, so elegant and handsome. Whose husband is this?"
Lu Mingchao spoke slower, with the ending syllables lengthened and rising.
Cute and lively, yet infinitely affectionate.
"The young master of the Ming Dynasty." Xie Yan smiled, his voice clear and melodious.
Lu Mingchao twirled the last wisp of leaves between his fingers, not shy, and looked up at Xie Yan, "The answer is correct."
"Xie Langjun, are you panicked by the enthusiasm of the people?"
Lu Mingchao joked.
Xie Yan frowned slightly and said, "A little, but not much."
Xie Yan looked at the thin and small vegetable leaf wrapped around Lu Mingchao's fingers, and imagined the scene of a jade hairpin inserted diagonally into her bun.
Her hair is as black as ink and her neck is white, slender and long.
Wearing a jasper hairpin will surely make you look extremely elegant and refined.
Maybe it's not just jade hairpins, but also pearl necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
"You are not humble at all." Lu Mingchao didn't know that Xie Yan's thoughts had already wandered to jewelry.
Xie Yan thought back, with a hint of nostalgia in his expression. "I basically grew up in the northern border during the Ming Dynasty. The people in the border areas are simple, straightforward, warm and informal. My father and brother are deeply loved by the people in the northern border. They always bring back all kinds of things when they go out on the street."
Lu Mingchao blinked, the son of a general.
"You are now also very popular among the people of Changhe County."
Xie Yan chuckled, "That's because of the Ming Dynasty."
"When I was young, I benefited from my father and brothers, and after I got married, I benefited from my wife. If I think about it carefully, I am also very lucky."
Xie Yan said this half jokingly and half seriously.
Lu Mingchao raised his hand and patted Xie Yan's shoulder, looking like a good brother. "Then I will shine more in the future so that you can get more of my favor."
"Can we go and book that shop now?"
Xie Yan shook his head and said mysteriously, "No hurry, I'll take you somewhere first."
Xie Yan stopped in an alley across the street from Qingyun Academy.
Xie Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a moment, a lame old man opened the door. When he saw Xie Yan clearly, a bright light flashed in his old eyes. "Young Master."
Xie Yan nodded and entered the courtyard.
After the gate was closed, Xie Yan said, "Uncle Chen."
"This is my wife."
"Hello, Madam." The old man greeted hurriedly.
"Ming Dynasty, this is Chen Bo, who was once a personal soldier under my father's command."
Xie Yan did not hide anything and introduced it to Lu Mingchao frankly.
Uncle Chen was a little surprised, but he also knew that the young master was not a reckless person.
Being honest is based on trust.
He just needs to know that this is someone the young master trusts.
Lu Mingchao smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Chen."
Uncle Chen looked at Lu Mingchao with loving but polite eyes, and felt more and more pleased.
The young master got married, which is a good start.
"Uncle Chen, I'll show Ming Chao around."
This is a two-courtyard house with green bamboos planted all over the front yard.
In the bleakness of winter, although the bamboo forest is not as lush and green as in spring and summer, its swaying in the cool wind is like the vitality hidden in the silence, showing the tenacity and stubbornness of life.
There are tall bamboos and lush trees in front of the yard, and I am not afraid of the cold even in the depths of winter.
The jade sieve is golden and receives rain and dew, while the tall and green figure brushes against the clouds.
Passing through the Chuihua Gate, there is a small square pond dug in the backyard. The pond is frozen, and the dead lotus branches of late autumn are frozen in it, just like a jade ornament carved by a skilled craftsman with great effort.
Lonely and quiet.
"In the Ming Dynasty, this courtyard will have no red plum blossoms in winter and no pear blossoms in spring, but you and I can transplant two trees. In a few years, we will be able to see petals like sparks and stamens like clouds in winter, and pear trees will be able to stand tall like a canopy in spring."
“It is only one street away from the best academy in Changhe County, and it takes only 15 minutes to walk there.”
"Second brother and Huaiqian are here. It is safe and convenient."
Don’t be afraid of people.
