Chapter 1261: Miss Cousin Does Not Want to Be Entrusted to Her (6)
"Yuecheng, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jin Xiangrong asked Zhai Yuecheng as he handed him a plate of snacks.
"Sir, I just came back from out of town. I heard that you have recovered, so I came to see you. There is nothing else." Zhai Yuecheng replied.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I have recovered very well now. Even the minor health problems I had before have disappeared. It will be no problem for me to live another ten or eight years." Jin Xiangrong said with a smile.
"That's good, congratulations, sir." Zhai Yuecheng smiled and said, "Sir, you are in good health, which is a blessing for us Qingyang students."
"But I heard that some students regretted that I recovered too quickly, which prevented them from continuing to be lazy," Jin Xiangrong joked.
"I guess those classmates were just being naughty and playful, and they didn't mean to curse the teacher maliciously." Zhai Yuecheng paused and explained for his classmates.
Jin Xiangrong smiled and said, "Of course I know this. They just don't like to study. They are happy to study because they think that the teachers are busy all day and have no time to watch them... I also went through this when I was young..."
Seeing that he was obviously joking, Zhai Yuecheng knew that he was not angry, so he took out the gift he had brought and said, "Sir, this is a painting by Wu Daozi that I happened to find during my outing. I wonder if you like it?"
"A painting by Wu Daozi?" When Jin Xiangrong heard the name Wu Daozi, his eyes suddenly lit up. Without waiting for Zhai Yuecheng to open the painting, he took it impatiently and spread it out carefully on the table himself.
"It is indeed a painting by Wu Daozi..." Jin Xiangrong's eyes were glued to the painting, not wanting to move them away, and he couldn't wait to admire it.
When Zhai Yuecheng saw that he was immediately fascinated by the painting, he knew that the gift he gave him this time touched his heart.
Seeing that his father only had the painting in his eyes, and had forgotten all about his daughter and students, Jin Shichu smiled and said to Zhai Yuecheng, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. My father loves Wu Daozi's paintings the most. He can't move his eyes away when he sees them. He won't pay attention to us if he doesn't enjoy them to his heart's content."
"As long as you like it, sir. As a gift giver, it will not be a waste if the gift is liked by the recipient." Zhai Yuecheng replied politely.
"Yuecheng! Come, follow me back to the study, let's appreciate this painting together." Jin Xiangrong was no longer satisfied with appreciating it alone at this time, and urgently needed someone with talent to appreciate it with him, so he couldn't wait to say to Zhai Yuecheng.
Zhai Yuecheng glanced at Jin Shichu, a little hesitant. Jin Xiangrong didn't hear his answer, but couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed his arm and said, "Yuecheng! Come on, let's go to the study..."
After walking a few steps with Zhai Yuecheng in hand, Jin Xiangrong finally remembered that he had a daughter, so he turned around and said to Jin Shichu guiltily, "Chu'er, your senior brother and I have something to do, you can play by yourself, okay?"
"Okay, Dad, you and brother can go and do your stuff." Jin Shichu waved her hand at him speechlessly and said, since his heart is not here anymore, why should she keep him around?
After hearing his daughter's answer, Jin Xiangrong pulled Zhai Yuecheng to the study without hesitation.
It was unknown how much they had in common. Even after Nanny Guan had finished cooking, neither of them came out of the study. It was only after Jin Shichu urged them two or three times that they came out to eat reluctantly. However, at the table, they were still discussing someone's paintings intensely while eating...
At this time, they didn't care about the old rule of "no talking while eating and no talking while sleeping" at all.
By the time they finished their meal, it was already dark, so Jin Xiangrong simply let Zhai Yuecheng stay, since there were many empty guest rooms at home.
Jin Shichu was a little surprised, because this was the first time that Jin Xiangrong had invited guests to stay. After all, his guests were basically teachers and students of Qingyang Academy. They came to visit and went back the same day. Qingyang Academy was so close to the Jin family that it would take less than half an hour to walk there and less than an incense stick of time to take a carriage. There was no need for the guests to stay.
It seems that Zhai Yuecheng is very much liked by his father, Jin Shichu thought.
Zhai Yuecheng finally dealt with Jin Xiangrong's "like-minded" enthusiasm. After washing up, he lay down on the bed, quietly feeling the fresh scent of grass and trees that continuously came from the southeast direction of the Jin family, which calmed the violence in his soul. He knew that the only young lady of the Jin family lived in that direction.
One day, he suddenly felt this fresh breath that could calm the violence in his soul.
At that time, he stayed in the woods at the back of the academy as usual, letting the gentle scent of the trees soothe the violent energy in his soul that was constantly clamoring to break out of his body's confinement and wreak havoc on the world. But at a certain moment, he suddenly felt an extremely strong and extremely fresh presence, softer than the scent of the grass and trees in the forest. In just a moment, it soothed the violent energy in his body and made it as obedient as a house dog.
He suffered a lot because of this violent energy and had no peace day or night, but this sudden breath easily calmed his pain. It was like a life-saving straw, which made him eager to grab it. So he followed the direction of the breath and found the door of Jin's house.
He vaguely heard his classmates in the academy say that Master Jin was seriously ill and seemed to be dying, so he pretended to come to visit the patient and wanted to go into the Jin family to find out what that aura was.
But unfortunately, Shi Chu had just traveled through time that day and had no memory of Zhai Yuecheng from the original owner's memory, so he rejected his visit without any hesitation.
At that time, Zhai Yuecheng was not in a hurry, because the violent energy in his body had just been calmed down. He felt an unprecedented sense of comfort from soul to body, so he was very patient. He thought that since he already knew that the aura came from the Jin family, he could investigate it slowly.
Who knew that after failing to visit the patient that day, he became busy with other things and didn't come back from outside until yesterday, so he couldn't wait to visit the Jin family today.
It just so happened that Master Jin was a teacher with whom he had a very good relationship before, so he had a good reason to visit him.
When he saw the father and daughter of the Jin family, he could tell at a glance that the aura that was several times stronger than the soothing power of the plants in the forest came from the only eldest daughter of the Jin family.
He has always been a man who acted decisively and never looked back. Since Miss Jin was the source of that aura, he was destined not to let her go. So he quietly "fawned on Jin Xiangrong" so that he could get closer to Miss Jin...
