When Jing Yu went out, he made a small change of clothes for himself to make his clothes look much more ordinary.
Therefore, after returning home, he went back to his room first, and the young girl helped him change into clothes that suited his identity. A purple Confucian robe with peony patterns. After four years, her long hair was trimmed to the length of her shoulders, so it did not hinder her vision. He wore a silver headband with a sapphire and two rubies on his forehead.
After preparing everything, Jing Yu turned to the girl with a nervous expression and said,"Qinger, wait for me here. You don't have to follow me.”
The young girl, Qing 'er's eyes lit up as she nodded repeatedly.
"Young master, you're finally treating Qinger quite well.”she said with a smile.
If she went with Jing Yu, she would inevitably be investigated and punished for today's matter.
Jing Yu smiled." I'll tell them that no one can punish you except me. You too. Other than my punishment, you don't have to care about anyone else's.”
Qinger gulped and said awkwardly,"This, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."”
"Just do as I say!" Jing Yu waved his hand casually and walked out of the door.
Qinger followed behind him and sent him out of the courtyard. She leaned against the door and quietly waited for Jing Yu to return. It had been four years since she came here and stayed by his side. Just like taking care of her younger brother, it was also like raising…cough cough, in short, taking care of him had become her habit. Seeing him act like a little adult and slowly grow up made her feel warm.
If it was now, she felt that she somewhat understood what Third Madam meant when she said those words to her back then.
"Do I only need to live for the young master?”
She repeated this sentence in a whisper. Because of what Jing Yu had just said, she gradually connected the two together.
Jing Yu passed through a straight, two-meter wide bluestone road and arrived at the front yard. As soon as he walked out of a corridor, he saw Old General Xiang accompanying a man dressed in black scholar-bureaucrat attire.
He stopped in his tracks. He already understood what the soldier was talking about…He must have gone to meet that person. However, after thinking about it carefully, he could not find anyone with such a background in his memory.
Who was he? Not only did he need his cheap grandfather to personally send it out, but he also looked like he was in a good mood and was chatting and laughing. Jing Yu looked around and waved at a soldier who had already noticed him. He turned around and walked into the other side of the corridor. After taking a few steps on the wide ground on both sides of the bluestone road, the silver-armored soldier had already arrived behind him with the sound of metal rubbing against each other.
"Young Master!" He cupped his fists and bowed.
"Who is that person?" Jing Yu didn't turn around. He sniffed a red flower the size of a fist and asked.
"This…I don't know. I only remember that he didn't report his name. Instead, he sent someone to send in an invitation.”The soldier replied," Then, the old general personally went to the door to welcome him. After that, the conversation between the two of them in the hall was also carried out in secret. Other than them, no one else was present.”
The soldier replied while looking at Jing Yu in surprise. He had a feeling that the Young Master, who had his back facing him and was not even at the height of his abdomen, looked abnormally " tall ". He even had the illusion that he was being looked down upon by the young master, just like the dignity that the old general occasionally revealed…Therefore, he did not dare to lie or hide anything at all.
"Whoa?" " What else?" Jing Yu looked interested." Did you find anything else?”
The soldier thought for a moment and said,""That person is sitting in the hall above the old general.”
During this period, what people called sitting was actually kneeling. There were no chairs or stools. The Xiang clan is the same…there is a slightly higher platform at the end of the hall, with two seats arranged there. Usually, only the old general would sit on the left side of the table. The right side of the table was usually filled with distinguished guests. Today, he sat on the right side of the table while the guest sat on the left.
This meant that the guest's status should be higher than his or at least respected by him.
"It should be a royal family from another country." Jing Yu immediately guessed. However, in order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he naturally would not say it here. As for the reason why the royal families of other countries secretly came to the Chu Country, they also knew. As the trend of the Qin State destroying the six countries became more and more obvious, these royal families who had been fighting with each other for many years began to truly become anxious, right?
Jing Yu waved his hand." Tell him that I've already been here."”Then, he walked towards his small courtyard.
The soldier stood there in a daze for a while. The aura that was pressing down on him earlier seemed to be an illusion. When Jing Yu said that last sentence, it completely dissipated.
"Then what happened?"
He was somewhat baffled. However, he still followed Jing Yu's words and told Old General Xiang about it. After the old general sent him away, he looked at the small courtyard where Jing Yu lived and chuckled.
"My good grandson, I've put down my pride and asked for a marriage for you today. Hehehe, as long as you don't call me grandpa, I won't tell you.”
He thought that he had thought of a brilliant plan, but he suddenly reacted and slapped the back of his head.
"Oh no, he doesn't know about this. Why would he compromise with me? Moreover, if he still doesn't call me when it's time to get married, can I continue to hide it?”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had cheated himself. In the end, he consoled himself that he had found a wife for his grandson and that was still the same. He was not at a disadvantage. However, he didn't want to tell that brat now.
On the other side, Jing Yu, who had returned to the small courtyard, had dinner. He took a roll of bamboo slips and slowly read it under the illumination of the oil lamp. Qinger sat cross-legged not far away from him, cultivating her inner strength…To them, this was just a normal night.
After two hours, Qinger stopped cultivating and let out a breath of turbid air. She raised her hand and looked at it in disbelief…After working hard for two years, she usually felt that her strength had increased a lot. Today, she finally felt the flow of qi in her body for the first time.
She noticed that a small figure in front of her had swayed. It turned out to be Jing Yu who had unknowingly appeared in front of her. Without saying a word, he reached out to touch her abdomen. That shocked Qinger and she quickly grabbed his hand.
" Young, Young Master…" She blushed." Don't, don't do that."”
Jing Yu was stunned. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw her secretly looking around and calming down. He only wanted to feel the flow of true qi in her dantian, not really touch it.
"Alright, let's sleep." He winked at Qinger.
"Aren't you going to make the bed?" Jing Yu urged.
"Ah…Oh."
Jing Yu looked at her weak back and a sense of tenderness rose in his heart. He followed her to the bed and waited for her to make the bed. Then, he changed into his loose sleeping clothes…
Jing Yu lay down for a while before he heard her walking to the bedside.
