Chapter 94 Sun Tu’s wishful thinking
Sun Tu came out of Yixin Courtyard angrily. He did not immediately chase Sun Qijing. He went straight back to the front yard and called Jiang Cheng in immediately.
"Master, what do you want from me?" Jiang Cheng saw the master coming back angrily, and he knew that the master must have failed to please the lady again. Jiang Cheng said, "The lady has everything she wants. The master has suffered so much, why is she so unwilling to give in? What can he gain by going against the lady?" But he was just a servant, and he had no room to speak.
Sun Tu did not reply to him immediately, but looked around the room, observing the few remaining ornaments in his room.
"Jiang Cheng, look around the house to see if there are any things that I, the master, bought from outside, or that were given to me by others."
"Yes, master." Although Jiang Cheng was very confused, he still searched the whole house and found the things the master bought and put them aside.
The two of them worked for a long time before picking out all the things. Sun Tu looked at these things and said reluctantly, "Take them away and deal with them!"
"Lost? Master, you liked these very much at that time." Jiang Cheng didn't understand what the master was doing. It would cost a lot of money to buy these.
When Sun Tu heard Jiang Cheng say that, he became even angrier and wanted to kick him out, but he thought that he had been needed for all these recent things, and if he kicked him out to cause any harm, it might delay his own important matters.
He could only hold back his anger and say, "What are you thinking? I'm so poor, I'm asking you to sell or pawn these things. I'm about to be sent out as an official, and I need to bring enough money with me. Pawn those paintings I've been reluctant to sell."
"Yes, Master." Jiang Ben originally wanted to ask in detail about what the Madam and the Young Masters would do now that the Master had been sent out to serve as an official. But seeing the Master's impatient expression, he tactfully kept his mouth shut. He would know when the time came.
"Then, sir, when do you need it? Do you need me to buy anything for you?"
"The sooner the better. I'll be leaving for my new post in three days, so all this needs to be done before then. Then tell Miss to pack her things and have her come with me."
You contact a reliable escort agency, and we'll go with them when the time comes, which will be much safer. Try to take as much as you can, because we don't know how many years it will take us to return."
Sun Tu was quite self-aware in this regard. Seeing how ruthless Zhao Lingmeng was, he probably didn't know Qian Yi would help him smooth things over. Then he could only rely on his own political achievements to make a comeback, but he wasn't sure if he could achieve that, as he had never governed a local government before.
Sun Tu thought about it this way and felt that Jing'er couldn't follow him to take up his post. If Jing'er could get a good education in Yuanjing, maybe she could get into high school. Then he would have a way out and couldn't put all his hopes on that vicious woman Zhao Lingmeng.
"Master, Master..." Jiang Cheng looked at the master and saw that he had no idea where his thoughts were going. His face changed from gloomy to bright. Jiang Cheng could only try to make the master come back to his senses.
"That's all for now. Go down and make the arrangements!" Sun Tu came to his senses and looked at Jiang Cheng, who was still standing there. He was even more annoyed with his lack of judgment. But he had no other choice now. Jiang Cheng was the only one he could use.
When Jiang Cheng heard the master's instructions, he quickly left to make arrangements. If he was leaving in three days, there were so many things he needed to prepare! It wasn't as easy as the master thought.
Sun Tu watched Jiang Cheng leave, and then he thought about it in the room. He decided to persuade Sun Qijing first. Only then could he leave with peace of mind.
He found a few servants in the mansion and asked them, and they found out where Sun Qijing was. When Sun Tu arrived at the pavilion in the lake, he saw Sun Qijing and Master Wu's grandson feeding the fish in the pavilion. They were still talking non-stop, and several servants stood around them, looking at them at all times to protect them.
As soon as Sun Tu approached, Wu Zhonghui was the first to notice him. Because he had escaped from the wilderness, he was particularly sensitive to the approach of strangers, so he was the first to notice it.
Wu Zhonghui immediately stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Master." The servants waiting nearby also saluted at this time.
"All of you, please leave! I have something to say to the young master." Sun Tu acted like the master of a mansion, and no one argued with him. They all left immediately, leaving only Dong Mian standing not far away, leaving room for the father and son to talk. However, if anything happened, he would be the first to step forward and protect Sun Qijing.
Sun Tu was not satisfied with this distance, but he recognized that Dong Mian was one of the people Zhao Lingmeng trusted, and he could not command him, so he could only look at him a few times.
"Dad" Sun Qijing also called out actively, but his enthusiasm was not high.
Sun Tu held Sun Qijing in his arms and sat with him, looking at the fish floating on the surface below, and said softly: "Jing'er, Daddy is going to be an official in another place. You and mom should study hard at home, okay?" Sun Tu could see that Sun Qijing was unhappy, but he thought that he was just a child and it would be fine after it was over.
"Dad, I want to choose you. Can you let me go with you?" Sun Qijing had listened to Aunt Dongmian's words that morning, and he wanted to obey his heart for once. He knew his mother was good to him, but she was also good to his two younger brothers, and it wasn't necessary for him to be the only one. But his father had always been good to him, and he wanted to choose him just once.
"What's the point of choosing or not? You can study with mother in the mansion first. When you pass the imperial examination and become an official, transfer father back. Then we can be reunited."
"I don't want it, I just want my dad." At this time, Sun Qijing was no longer obedient in front of Zhao Lingmeng. He felt like he was back to the time when he was led by Zhou, thinking that he could get what he wanted by being unreasonable.
"No, you must study hard with your mother. Jing'er, be good. Dad will rely on you in the future." Seeing Sun Qijing acting like this, Sun Tu tried to persuade Sun Qijing with a half-threatening and half-coaxing attitude.
"Then Dad, are you going alone?"
"I will take your aunt with me and find a husband for her there. I will also bring your grandmother along when there is a chance, so that she doesn't have to suffer in the countryside." Sun Tu didn't want to hide it from Sun Qijing, after all, he couldn't hide it.
"So Dad, you just don't want me anymore, or maybe you just don't want us anymore?" Sun Qijing was extremely disappointed when he heard that Sun Tu was still going to pick up his grandmother.
Sun Qijing was also a stubborn child, one who would not turn back until he hit a wall. "Dad, can you please not go? I will be successful when I grow up, and I will support you then."
"Jing'er, be good. When you have made it, dad will come back. You can also write to dad. If you are worried that dad is not living well over there, remember to bring some money to dad when you have money. Dad loves you the most." Sun Tu really did not hide his utilitarianism. Maybe he felt that the child was still young and did not understand.
