"Hey, look, it's Suyan Sister's sweetheart coming over!" Miss Zhong Jiying joked.
Liu Suyan chuckled, "I dare not call him a sweetheart. If my husband hears it, he'll scold you harshly, and then your graduation will be delayed again."
"Hahaha..."
Huangpu Xin stood aside, and with a sidelong glance, he saw two Celestial flowers standing by the window.
One person is dressed in a plain-colored cloud-patterned strong suit, with a waist adorned with a Sachet, slender figure, a jade hairpin in a coiled bun, phoenix eyes, and willow leaf eyebrows, truly a female knight-errant.
The other person is wearing a phoenix coronet and a rosy cloud-patterned gown, stepping in golden phoenix-feathered shoes, with a full figure, two curved misty eyebrows, and a pair of peach blossom eyes. Gentle but not delicate, dignified but not arrogant. Truly a friendly young lady.
Huangpu Xin is also a person of two lifetimes. The two girls are indeed beautiful, but compared to appreciating beautiful women, he now wants to find a place to carefully study the martial arts given by Master Bianyi. When I become a Buddha and an ancestor, what will I not have?
Just as Huangpu Xin was lost in thought, Zhou Dian spoke up beside him.
" Suyan!" Zhou Dian first spoke in a low voice, then bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss."
"Oh, don't be so formal. Suyan is my younger sister, and you are my brother-in-law. We are all family, so there's no need to be polite. Come, come, have a seat," Zhong Jiying said, pulling Zhou Dian to sit in the higher position.
Zhou Dian waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Miss, I won't stand on ceremony."
Master Zhong sitting behind them twitched his mouth and pretended to be angry at Zhong Jiying, saying, "I call Zhou Dian my brother, and you, a young girl, call him brother-in-law. Does that make me your junior?"
"Uh... Oh, Dad, let's each mind our own business." Zhong Jiying winked.
Master Zhong sighed and said, " brother Zhou, don't be upset. Ji Ying has been spoiled by me since childhood, so she's a bit pampered."
Zhou Dian took a sip of tea and said lightly, "It's okay. Miss's straightforward temperament suits my taste. It's much better than the scheming and intrigue in the capital."
Master Zhong sighed, "You are just too outspoken. Those aristocrats are not easy to get along with..."
"Thank you, Lord Zhong, for the reminder. It's just that I've been in the capital for so many years, and I've already experienced everything." Zhou Dian is truly a conversation stopper, speaking directly and hitting the mark.
For a moment, everyone couldn't find a new topic to continue with.
Huangpu Xin was pondering, it turns out Zhou Dian has also stayed in the capital? This Confucian scholar should be his false identity in the capital, I wonder if he has any connection with the royal family...
Liu Suyan saw the atmosphere freeze and spoke to change the subject: "If it weren't for those few little thieves, my sister Ji Ying and I wouldn't have met."
"Oh? Any interesting stories about your encounter with Ji Ying?" Master Zhong seemed quite free and interested in knowing how the two of you met.
"Uncle Zhong, you know, my family and I were ordered to go to the capital again..." Liu Suyan recounted.
Originally, Zhou Dian had had enough of the power struggles in the capital and made up his mind to resign and return to his hometown. On his way back, he met Liu Suyan, and the two of them went through ups and downs, finally becoming a couple and living a blissful life together. In the blink of an eye, several decades had passed.
However, the current emperor personally led the expedition, and the border war reached a stalemate. The current political affairs were controlled by the eldest prince, and there was a lack of capable individuals. It's not known where the information came from, but a list was drafted and a "Recruitment Order" was issued to recruit talents, and Zhou Dian unexpectedly found himself on the list.
So the two of them appeared to be travel-worn, but in reality they were flying on their swords (Guessed by Huangpu Xin ), crossing over half of Nanli on their way to the capital city to receive an imperial decree.
"Hey, it's been so many years, yet you're still so stubborn, little brother?" Master Zhong seemed to recall the past and sighed.
Zhou Dian Rarely showing a determined expression: "As scholars, we strive for eternal peace, and we must obey the imperial decree."
Master Zhong Regretfully says: "You, back then when you were rushing to the capital for the imperial examination, you encountered bandits and were at death's door. If I hadn't coincidentally gone into the mountains to eliminate the bandits, you would have perished there!"
Master Zhong continued to laugh and tease, "After entering the capital, you actually managed to secure a position. To be blunt, I never thought your Confucian head could become an advisor? Haha..."
Zhou Dian calmly sipped his tea and replied, "Having spent a long time in the court, I've grown accustomed to it."
Liu Suyan explained, "It's because of the backwardness and filthiness of the capital that he left."
"That's right. If your sweetheart didn't leave, you wouldn't have met him. If you hadn't met him, we wouldn't be able to meet now, right?" Zhong Jiying said, then stuck close to Liu Suyan and started playing and laughing with her.
"Ji Ying! Hey, lack of discipline, be more patient." Master Zhong sighed, "Wasn't I going to tell you two an interesting story?"
"Oh, right, let me tell it." Zhong Jiying said, interrupting Liu Suyan's sneak attack.
"I went out with Auntie Wang earlier to buy some things. You know Auntie Wang's taste, it's not just her, everyone in our house has such common taste. I have to at least pick the color and pattern myself, otherwise the wedding will look terrible..." Miss Ji Ying said emotionally.
Master Zhong reminded helplessly, "Ji Ying..."
"Oh, Dad, don't rush me. I'm about to get to it." Zhong Jiying finally stopped rambling and got to the point.
"I went to the fabric store on West Street with Auntie Wang, but there wasn't much good stock, so we ordered from overseas..."
"When we were on our way back, Auntie Wang said she needed to use the restroom, so I accompanied her. As we passed through a small alley, Auntie Wang suddenly turned into a stranger of similar height!"
"Disguise technique?" Zhou Dian frowned.
Zhong Jiying shook his head: "It shouldn't be. The art of disguise is very complicated before and after, and for familiar people, they can tell. But that day, Auntie Wang had no difference in speech, walking, or habits. And from the moment we left, we were together the whole time without any opportunity to switch people."
Zhou Dian asked, "What happened next?"
Zhong Jiying continued, "And then? And then Suyan little sister saw that Auntie Wang was about to be taken away by the man in strange clothes, so she stepped in to help and struck him with a sword. Strangely, after being injured in the chest and abdomen, the man didn't bleed, but turned into mist and vanished into the air."
Zhou Dian frowned and asked, "You didn't tell your father?"
"Isn't this saying...?" Zhong Jiying immediately became serious: "But I have already sent people from the Red Water Gang to secretly watch over the south of the city. If there are new arrivals, the information will be reported to me to eliminate the assassin from that day."
Master Zhong nodded and pretended to shed tears: "I never expected that my daughter Zhong Jinyuan would also have a mature day..."
"Dad!" Zhong Jiying was furious.
Zhong Jinyuan laughed and said, "Haha, okay, okay, Dad will mobilize the Red Guards to find the assassin for you!"
The eldest daughter of the powerful family is getting married, and it seems that various forces are eager to make a move... This is another vortex! Can we quickly finish treating Zhou Dian's illness and let me go! Oh no, after curing his illness, my current body can only lie in bed, I have to let him find a safe place for me to recuperate. Then I will change my identity and act in secret, hehehe...
