Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 152 Not Tired at All

The first day of February, the beginning of the Si hour.

The Beijing convoy marched out of the South City Gate and headed southeast.

The journey to Zhoushan took about two or three hours. The royal carriage was in front, followed by court officials and their families from the capital.

There were royal guards on both sides, as well as palace maids, eunuchs, servants and other attendants, making the journey extremely lively.

After arriving at Zhoushan, the imperial family's carriages continued into the mountain. After they got off the carriages, there were sedan chairs waiting for them, which carried them all the way into the temporary palace.

Court officials and their families lived in official residences at the foot of the mountain. A special person had registered the names of each family according to their rank early on, so everything was in good order despite the busy schedule.

By the time everyone had finished packing, it was already the end of the afternoon.

Tonight's dinner will be provided by the official residence. After several hours of traveling by boat and carriage, everyone wants to have a good rest for a day to prepare for tomorrow's busy ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky.

The Imperial College was also closed for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, so Shen Jiaheng naturally came along.

The Shen family was arranged to live in a courtyard inside the official residence, with Zhou Mountain behind it, which was already a very good location.

The wound on Shen Jiasui's hand had almost healed, and he was strolling around with Shen Jiaheng when Baiji chased them out of the official residence and called them back for dinner.

When Shen Jiasui and Shen Jiaheng returned to the yard, they saw a young man in light blue brocade clothes bowing to Ji Wan.

Shen Jiasui's eyes lit up and he whispered, "Axun?"

Jiang Xun turned his head when he heard the voice, and the moment he saw Shen Jiasui, a soft light appeared in his eyes.

Shen Jiaheng and Jiang Xun had met many times in the Imperial College in the past half month. This time, he was even quicker than Shen Jiasui to rush over and greeted him, saying with a smile, "Brother Jiang!"

Shen Jiasui paused, a look of surprise on his face.

Jiang Xun exchanged a few words with Shen Jiaheng, then walked up to Shen Jiasui.

Since the night when Shen Jiasui changed the dressing for the second time, they had not seen each other for nearly half a month in order to facilitate the implementation of plans related to Prince Rong's Mansion.

Jiang Xun couldn't suppress his longing for her, so he took the opportunity to come to Zhoushan and ran to meet her eagerly.

"Sui Sui."

Jiang Xun called out softly.

Shen Jiasui's eyebrows curved, and he asked curiously, "When did Brother Heng become so close to you? He even calls me 'Brother Jiang'."

"He just came home last night, and I haven't heard him mention it."

Seeing Shen Jiasui, Jiang Xun felt his heart warmed. He couldn't bear to look away and explained with a smile:

"Maybe it's because of me, his future brother-in-law, that Jiaheng feels a little more respectable in the Imperial College."

Jiang Xun is really humble.

His name has long been famous in the capital.

The largest number of students in the Imperial College were tribute students, that is, outstanding students selected from all over the country.

Unlike the Yinjian students, they were wary of and disliked Jiang Xun due to their family background and the situation in the capital.

On the contrary, most of these tribute students admired and yearned for Jiang Xun. Many of them took him as an example and aspired to become loyal ministers like him who spoke for the people.

During the first month of the year, the news of Jiang Xun's marriage proposal to the Shen family spread, and naturally all the students in the Imperial College knew about it.

So after being imprisoned after the Lantern Festival, Shen Jiaheng, as Jiang Xun's future brother-in-law, inevitably received many envious glances.

Even those talented tribute students who never got involved in foreign affairs took the initiative to greet him.

When Shen Jiasui learned the reason, he couldn't help but find it funny.

But thinking about it carefully, in her previous life, when she was desperate, it was because she had heard of Jiang Xun's reputation for being upright that she took the risk and ran to the Dali Temple to beg for help.

"Being stared at like this, does Axun feel tired?" Shen Jiasui couldn't help but ask.

Too many people have placed their beautiful expectations and admiration on him. It must be like carrying a heavy burden and must be tiring, right?

Jiang Xun was stunned at first, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Today, you are praised by the world, but one day in the future, you may also be slandered by the world."

"Right and wrong, merits and demerits, are all determined by others. I just do what I think is right, so I don't feel tired at all."

Jiang Xun spoke in a very normal manner, then looked at Shen Jiasui's right hand and asked gently, "Is the injury on your hand healed?"

The more Shen Jiasui understood Jiang Xun, the more impressed he was with his character and character. At this moment, his eyes were filled with joy as he extended his palm to him.

"Well, thanks to Doctor Jiang's skillful hands and his repeated letters of encouragement, everything is healed!"

Jiang Xun looked at Shen Jiasui's lively eyes and eyebrows, and felt that the depression and dullness that had been following him like a shadow for these days suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "Sui Sui, I have selected a few houses. After this is done, how about you come with me to take a look?"

"As long as you like it, I will decide on it, and it will be our new home in the future."

He couldn't wait to get married soon and see his lover again.

Shen Jiasui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, we don't need a luxurious house, it's better to be elegant and quiet."

"I don't care about anything else, but I must have a large study for Axun, and a large yard for me to practice martial arts on a daily basis!"

"Okay, I'll listen to Sui Sui."

Jiang Xun responded with a smile, his heart rippled, and his voice was full of doting.

At this time, Shen Jiaheng poked his head out of the room and called out with a smile, "Sister, Brother Jiang, come over and have dinner first."

The two of them responded in unison and walked into the house. Only then did Shen Jiasui ask, "Axun, are you sure you'll be alright tonight?"

Jiang Xun nodded and said seriously, "Tomorrow's Flower Festival is a time to pray for good weather and good harvests. It's crucial to the fate of our nation, so there must be no 'accidents' the night before."

"Be at peace every year. There are no fools here. Anyone who dares to cause trouble tonight will seek his own death."

Jiang Xun had already told her about this matter in a letter. Seeing Jiang Xun so confident with her own eyes, Shen Jiasui finally felt completely relieved.

At this moment, Jiang Xun suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "I passed by many official residences during my visit. I'm sure the news will spread quickly. Princess An Ning..."

Shen Jiasui couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this, "Now Ning'er has even more reason to lash out at me."

"and many more."

Shen Jiasui suddenly stopped.

Jiang Xun also stopped, his heart slightly lifted, "Sui Sui, what's wrong?"

Shen Jiasui frowned and looked at Jiang Xun, and asked bluntly: "Ah Xun, you didn't come here just for this, did you?"

"Although you came today, whether your original intention was to see me or to make plans, there is a big difference."

Jiang Xun had never expected Shen Jiasui to have such a question. A rare look of surprise appeared on his face, and then a heat rushed to his head, making his face turn red in panic.

He hurriedly leaned over to Shen Jiasui, his eyes locked on her, his eyes full of tension and concern, and explained quickly:

"Sui Sui, I came here to see you."

"You don't know how much I've wanted to see you these past few days... I came here in a hurry..."

"puff--"

Suddenly, an uncontrollable laugh came from behind.

Jiang Xun turned his head when he heard the voice and saw Shen Jiaheng leaning against the door frame, smiling teasingly.

Seeing Jiang Xun looking at him, Shen Jiaheng laughed even more happily, "Brother Jiang, you are in trouble!"

"My sister was just teasing you, but you're talking nonsense like this. I'm afraid you'll be henpecked in the future, right?"

Jiang Xun was stunned when he heard this, and turned back to look at Shen Jiasui, but saw that she had a cunning look on her face. She smiled at him and then walked briskly into the house.

Shen Jiaheng couldn't help but look relieved.

Okay, okay, from now on he won’t be the only one being played around by his sister anymore.

"Sui Sui!"

Jiang Xun called out softly, and hurried to catch up with Shen Jiasui.

Shen Jiaheng was stunned to see that Jiang Xun didn't care about his teasing at all, but in the blink of an eye, his expression changed drastically.

broken!

Here comes someone who wants to be “played” by me!

He is going to lose his position as brother!

"Sis! Wait for me too!"
