Chapter 1991 Junior Brother's Dream
Chapter 1991 Junior Brother's Dream
Lu Zhaoling originally planned to have Qian Dingxing come to see the painting that day, but because Zhou Shiyue returned too late, she changed the time.
Today, Cui Xiaoxing's incident happened again, and Lu Zhaoling couldn't figure it out for a while, so she simply dragged Zhou Shiyue to bed early.
Because Zhou Shiyue had to go to court before dawn the next day. He rarely went to court consecutively like this before; after his nephew ascended the throne, he really got up earlier than the rooster.
The next day, Lu Zhaoling went directly to Huaiyuan.
When I got there, I found that Jin Yuan was also there.
"Junior brother, you don't need to study today?"
"Senior Sister, Junior Brother is now a Little Saint," Jin Yuan reminded her.
Lu Zhaoling responded with an "oh".
"I haven't gotten used to it yet."
Jin Yuan said, "Senior Sister, I've come to discuss something with you."
“What? You can just discuss it with your master,” Lu Zhaoling said.
“Master said,” Jin Yuan glanced quickly at Yin Changxing and lowered his voice, “Master said that I am under your jurisdiction.”
Lu Zhaoling: "......"
She understood what her master meant.
Actually, the junior brother used to be hers to "use". Master once said to her that she treated the junior brother so rudely as a magic tool. She also said that the junior brother himself was happy to do so. Anyway, the junior brother was under her control, so Master could relax a bit.
Now her master is using her past words to shut her up.
So, it seems that what Junior Brother is about to say is not a good thing.
Sure enough, once Jin Yuan revealed the reason, Lu Zhaoling understood why her master had stopped interfering.
"Senior Sister, I want to go to Yunbei with you as a study tour." Jin Yuan looked at her with a serious expression.
Should we go to Yunnan with them?
That won't do!
My junior brother is destined to take the imperial examination route. His talent lies in studying, and he will eventually become a high-ranking and good official who is useful to the people.
At this time, Grand Secretary Meng admired him and wanted to cultivate him. What could he do if he went to Yunbei with them?
If they go to Yunbei, they might very well encounter the enemy of the King of Hell.
You have to understand, even Yama was like that, so the opponent must be very powerful. She couldn't possibly throw her junior brother at an enemy with that level of cultivation.
So, what is the junior brother going to do?
"Senior Sister, is it okay? I've already convinced my parents, and they've both agreed." Seeing that she didn't answer, Jin Yuan quickly asked again.
"Why do you want to come with us to Yunnan?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
“Didn’t I say that traveling ten thousand miles is worse than reading ten thousand books?” Jin Yuan said very seriously. “But I know that I definitely can’t travel ten thousand miles on my own right now, but I should be able to if I follow you guys.”
He looked at Lu Zhaoling and quickly explained, "I promise I won't complain or hold you back. If you encounter any ghostly or deathly energy, please don't hesitate to help, Senior Sister!"
Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but laugh. "How am I being impolite?"
“Master Jiechi said that he used to go out with Senior Sister, and when she needed him, she could just throw him out in a flash. I can do that too,” Jin Yuan looked down at himself. “However, Senior Sister probably can’t lift me up, so I don’t need to throw him out. Senior Sister just points in the direction, and I’ll rush over myself!”
"Hahaha."
Rong Jingjing, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but burst into laughter when she heard Jin Yuan's words.
Lu Song and the others also laughed.
Jin Yuan's face flushed slightly.
"Is it because my role isn't as significant as that of the little master who helps quit eating? Is it useless?"
Does he overestimate his own importance?
Lu Zhaoling patted his shoulder and said, "No, you are quite useful, but junior brother, your body is still a bit weak. You had a near-death experience before. Although you survived it, your destiny is still weak and your body has not fully recovered."
Lu Zhaoling explained it to him carefully.
"So, for the next two or three years, the most important thing for you is to stay in a stable place, eat well, sleep well, and rest well. Studying is already very mentally taxing, and if you have to travel thousands of miles, it will not be good for your health."
"It's not that I'm unwilling to take you along. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You're a member of our sect. If you want to travel and study in the future, our sect might even arrange for a small team to go with you."
Jin Yuan looked at her.
"You should focus on your studies and get better first, then you can go out later, okay?"
Jin Yuan looked somewhat disappointed.
“Unless you have some other purpose,” Lu Zhaoling said.
It's not just about wanting to study abroad, is it?
At this moment, Zheng Ying quietly floated out and appeared behind Lu Zhaoling, whispering, "Master, Jin Xiaoxiu said he had a dream in which you were trapped in a black fog in Yunbei and couldn't get out. He's probably worried about you."
Lu Zhaoling was stunned for a moment.
"How did you know?"
“Miss Rong told me to wander around when I have free time, like patrolling the city. I’m in charge of things that the officials can’t patrol.” Zheng Ying was still very proud. “I accidentally patrolled to the ancestral temple area. It just so happened that Scholar Jin was going to find Master Jiechi. He was talking to the master in secret. I didn’t mean to overhear.”
She saw the two children whispering mysteriously to each other, and fearing something had happened, she drifted over and overheard what Jin Xiaoxiu had said.
The idea of having Jin Xiaoxiu accompany Lu Zhaoling and the others to Yunbei was actually suggested by the young master.
The young master told him about his past experience of being "shunned" by Master Lu while "on a business trip," so he felt that the young scholar would also be able to play that role.
In the black fog, the young scholar could run around Master Lu a few times, and those ghostly things would surely be able to get close to her.
"Sister Zheng, what are you saying?" Jin Xiaoxiucai saw Zheng Ying hiding behind Lu Zhaoling and quickly asked.
Zheng Ying floated away instantly.
"He didn't say anything."
Anyway, she's already said it.
Lu Zhaoling never expected that her junior brother wanted to go to Yunbei with them because he was worried about her and wanted to save her.
She bent down and reached out to rub Jin Yuan's face.
"Oh my, junior brother, you're so cute!"
Jin Yuan was stunned by her rubbing.
Why did you suddenly say that?
But he's so old, and it's so embarrassing to have his face rubbed like that by his senior sister.
Jin Yuan's face turned red.
"Alright, stop teasing him. Come and see, Young Master Qian Ding has painted a picture."
Yin Changxing was calling her from the other side. Qian Dingxing also came out from the guest courtyard, saw Lu Zhaoling, and nodded to her.
"painting?"
Lu Zhaoling patted Jin Yuan on the shoulder, "Junior brother, I know how you feel, but don't worry, with Master and Uncle-Master here, I'll be fine. You can stay in the capital with peace of mind."
Saying "Shou Wo," she walked towards Qian Dingxing.
What kind of painting is it?
