"Lanting, you weren't scared, right?"
On the way into the city, Liu She and Cheng Cheng looked gloomy. The atmosphere around them was very oppressive, as if they were brewing anger. Cheng Cheng's wife, who was sitting in the carriage, knew about it. She quickly asked Jiang Pengji to stop riding and sit in the carriage for a while.
She looked at Jiang Pengji carefully and was relieved when she was sure she was fine.
"These foppish boys are getting more and more presumptuous. They don't know the teachings of the saints. They are getting more and more unscrupulous just because they are protected by their ancestors. Fortunately, Lanting has excellent archery skills and Liu County Chief is watching over us. Otherwise, there would be another bloody case under the emperor's feet. " Cheng Cheng's wife was very angry. She squeezed Jiang Pengji's hands and said, "Look at you. Your hands are cold …"
Jiang Pengji smiled "weakly" as if she was pretending to be strong. Cheng Cheng's wife felt even more sorry for her.
Jiang Pengji chose to ignore the comments from the audience in the streaming room that her acting skills were enough to win an Oscar.
After a while, Jiang Pengji pulled her hands out of Cheng Cheng's hands.
She looked obedient and said in a low voice, "Auntie, I wasn't scared. I was born this way …"
"Born this way? It's normal for you to be full of vigor and Yang energy to be in your growing period. Yet, your hands are so cold. It's obvious that you're overflowing with cold energy … Liu Zhongqing is indeed a man. He doesn't know how to raise a child. How can he be so careless?
Cheng Cheng's wife raised her eyebrows. She was a little dissatisfied with Liu She.
A man was indeed a man. He gave birth to a child but didn't take care of him …
Poor Liu Xi lost his mother at such a young age. Who else would take care of a child so meticulously except for his biological mother?
Jiang Pengji's smile froze a little, so Cheng Cheng's wife didn't notice it.
"Didn't you ask a doctor to come to the mansion to recuperate?" Cheng Cheng's wife asked. Before Jiang Pengji could answer, she continued, "Lanting, you can't ignore your health just because you are young. If a man lacks Yang energy and has too much Yin energy, it will hinder the reproduction of his children. You are the only legitimate son of Liu County Chief. The heavy responsibility of raising a house is on your shoulders. "
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
"Auntie, I do know a Divine Doctor of Xing Lin, who is very knowledgeable about health. That person is currently in Shangjing. When everything settles down, auntie will take you to have a look. You're still young, so you don't have to be so shy about this kind of thing. You should be magnanimous … "
When the gentle person chanted, the power was comparable to the Band-tightening Spell. Jiang Pengji could not do anything about it.
Other than nodding his head in agreement, he would occasionally mumble something.
After waiting for a while, the convoy was finally allowed to enter Shangjing. After passing through the vermilion city gate, the bustling ancient city was like a beautiful woman with a veil covering her face. After a bout of shyness and anger, she was finally willing to slowly lift a corner of her veil, revealing a beauty that could captivate even the birds and beasts, and outshine the moon and flowers.
Liu She had sent a letter to Feng Ren a long time ago. He planned to stay and eat at Feng Ren's house for a while.
Feng Ren also knew Liu She's temper. How could he refuse?
As soon as they entered the city, a steward in fine clothes came forward and asked, "Are you from County Chief Liu's Mansion?"
"I am Liu She. I remember you, Xiande's manservant. Look at how you're dressed. You've been promoted. "
Liu She got off the horse. Even though he was facing a manservant, he did not have the arrogance of an ordinary aristocrat.
The steward immediately felt honored, and a warm feeling flowed in his heart.
He had been sent to wait for Liu She's carriage because he had seen Liu She's face before. He didn't expect Liu She to recognize him as well. It had to be known that this was a few years ago. At that time, the steward was just a servant who served tea.
At that moment, the steward's face was full of smiles, and his attitude toward Liu She became more intimate.
"Master has asked the mansion to prepare a courtyard for you. Please come with me."
If Hejian County was said to be the pretty daughter of a humble family, then the prosperous and mighty Shangjing was said to be the daughter of a noble family who was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a head full of pearls and jade. She was graceful and elegant, and her appearance was so beautiful that it could cause the downfall of a city.
At first glance, the houses were scattered in picturesque disorder, the streets were neat, and the people and merchants who came and went were dressed neatly. There was not a beggar in shabby clothes in the streets and alleys … It was as if this was what a prosperous ancient era should look like …
But it was just as if.
Jiang Pengji swept her gaze across. Her eyes, which were originally filled with some interest, suddenly became unhappy.
"Let's go. I'll find out where Master Yuanjing is staying later. After a short rest, I'll bring you to visit him …"
Although he couldn't bear to part with his daughter, Liu She knew that he would only make things worse if he helped her. She could only walk down that path alone.
If he took Yuan Jing as his teacher, he would be able to make friends with many young elites. It would also be good for him to accumulate some capital in the future. At the very least, he would be able to keep a clean reputation.
Jiang Pengji nodded. She had heard of Yuanjing's name for a long time. Now that she was about to meet him in person, she wanted to see what was so special about him!
On the other side, Prince Changshou's mood could be imagined after Liu She rudely brushed him off. He didn't look happy throughout the whole process.
The foppish playboy was even more careful. His expression was as gloomy as a bitter gourd, as if he would pout and burst into tears in the next second.
Cheng Jing was especially disdainful of his attitude.
As a man, he dared to take responsibility for his actions.
Since he had the guts to make fun of the commoners, he should have been mentally prepared to kick an iron plate.
He was proud of himself when he bullied the commoners, but he panicked after offending Liu She. His ugly behavior made people want to vomit.
Cheng Jing glanced at the gorgeously dressed Langjuns at the gathering …
Yes, gorgeously dressed … There was nothing wrong with the phrase.
He hadn't been to Shangjing for a few years, and the atmosphere there had changed. Not only did the men put on makeup, but they also drew on their eyebrows, painted their lips, and dyed their cheeks red. They even had to deliberately tighten their waists. They walked like willows swaying in the wind. Every one of them was more delicate than a girl.
If it wasn't for the fact that the General Evaluation Officer, Liu She, didn't like men who were too delicate, their outfits would have been even more unsightly.
Cheng Jing really couldn't talk to those people, so he just sat in the corner and slowly drank his tea to calm himself down.
As for the two whimpering Langjuns in the distance, he felt like he would go blind if he looked at them for too long.
"Youmo, why are you sitting here alone? Aren't you going to play with them?"
As he was feeling depressed, a wisp of light fragrance hit him. A young man in a mint green shirt sat directly next to him. The newcomer was tall and slender. His skin was as delicate as flawless white porcelain. He didn't put on any makeup, but he was better than a girl. He had bright eyes, red lips, and white teeth. He was truly a handsome young man.
Cheng Jing didn't bother to look up. He knew who it was just by listening to the voice. "What are you playing at? I don't want to look at you. My stomach still hurts … "
"That's why you don't have your meals on time …" Han Yu curled his lips and quickly took the fruit in front of Cheng Jing and stuffed it into his mouth. The slightly sour juice overflowed his mouth. He said with disgust, "I gave you such a raw fruit. No wonder you have a stomachache."
Cheng Jing's mouth twitched, and he continued to drink his tea.
