Chapter 402 Care for your heart

After Chinese Valentine's Day, two days passed in a blink of an eye.

That day, Aunt Zhao accidentally heard that Jiao Shun was not involved in a lawsuit, but had obtained the right to play secretly. She immediately went to Qiu Shuangzhai in great excitement.

She held her head high, put her hands on Yangliu's slim waist and vowed: "I have long seen that he is not an idle person. Otherwise, how could I get close to him again and again?"

Just looking at Aunt Zhao's complacent face now, who would have thought that she would have vowed to break off with Jiao Shun two days ago?

In contrast, Jia Tanchun's mood was very complicated.

Previously, she thought that Jiao Shun was criticized by the conservative and stubborn forces because of his insistence on innovation and fell into the dilemma of being involved in lawsuits. She unconsciously developed sympathy for him. To be more precise, she developed a mentality of sharing the same hatred and hatred.

Logically speaking, she should be happy now that she heard that Jiao Shun was safe and sound and was being used in the emperor's favor.

But in today's story-telling novels, this kind of thing is mostly reserved for villains.

Even Tanchun understands intellectually that the two cannot be equated, but...

To put it bluntly, this doesn't fit in with the character she had imagined before!

Especially when she heard Aunt Zhao's words, which hinted at a reconciliation with Jiao Shun, she became almost instinctively disgusted.

So he simply stood up, took off the cypress sword given by Li Wan on the west wall, and walked out.

Aunt Zhao quickly asked: "What are you going to do?"

"Go out for a walk, my aunt is at home."

Tanchun said a few words and left without looking back.

In early autumn, the Grand View Garden is filled with red flowers, willows, and green warblers, but Tanchun, who is used to seeing this layered scenery, only feels cramped and stuffy.

She subconsciously clenched the wooden sword in her hand, wishing she could be born into a man, so that she could break out of this shackles and be free and happy, and become a "silver saddle shining on a white horse, rustling like a shooting star", "the emperor can't even get on the boat"

The chivalrous man was born wildly.

Just like this, the girl's graceful figure was wandering among the poetic and picturesque scenery of red embankments and green willows, but her heart was full of the delusion of "killing an evil in ten steps and eradicating an evil in five steps".

She was so caught up in the drama that she even held the cypress sword in her hand, muttered something in her mouth, and launched a fatal blow at the treacherous villain she imagined. Her palm-sized oval face was full of holiness and perseverance.

So again and again.

The transformed character in front of him suddenly turned into Jiao Shun's face.

Tan Chun's hand froze, his face changed several times, and he suddenly swept out the wooden sword in his hand from his waist, and said in a hateful voice: "I think you have done some service to the people, but today I only cut off your sense of right and wrong. I hope you will."

Know your shame and then be brave. You will live up to the emperor's favor and live up to the common people!"

Pfft~

Before he finished speaking, uncontrollable laughter came from behind the rockery.

Jia Tanchun was startled at first, and then thought that every move he had just made had fallen into the eyes of others, and his red head was swollen with embarrassment and he was helpless. He forced himself to shout: "Who? Who is there?

there?!"

From behind the rock, Lin Daiyu first appeared, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, but still unable to hide her laughter; then, Shi Xiangyun walked out with her hands on her belly, leaning back and forward, without any covering up.

"You, you guys!"

Jia Tanchun got angry and stamped his feet angrily: "You two are sneaky and eavesdrop on other people's conversations. You are not good people!"

Seeing her furious look, Lin Daiyu couldn't help lowering her head and chuckled twice, and then she said, "We were eavesdropping? It's obvious that the third sister was focused on killing thieves and didn't notice that we were here."

Shi Xiangyun also asked with a smile: "That's all the previous ones, but what is the meaning of my sister's last sword? Is it possible that she wants to create the Taishi Gong of the current dynasty with her own hands?"

As he said that, the two of them giggled again.

"you!"

Jia Tanchun was ashamed and annoyed, and couldn't help blurting out: "With this strike of my sword, I will make you a widow for the rest of your life!"

Daiyu and Xiangyun laughed even harder. After a long while, Xiangyun rubbed his belly and complained: "Sister, I heard these nonsense words in front of us. If the master and his wife listened to them, I'm afraid there would be Let’s see.”

She thought that the third sister was retorting casually out of embarrassment, so she didn't care about it, but she didn't know that these were Jia Tanchun's words from the bottom of her heart.

The three sisters quarreled for a few more times. Tanchun saw that it was not an option to continue like this, so he took the initiative to change the subject and asked: "What are you two doing here? Why don't you even have a maid with you?"

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, he hurriedly warned: "If you go back and tell those gossiping girls, I, I will fight with you!"

As he spoke, he raised his wooden sword and made gestures in mid-air.

Although Daiyu and Xiangyun were not afraid of her, they also knew that if they continued teasing her, they would really get angry, so they took advantage of the situation and begged for mercy, and promised again and again that they would never tell the maids, servants, wives, and elders, but they only missed the sisters and brothers.

Jia Tanchun knew that they would definitely make fun of him in front of the sisters, but he was embarrassed but could do nothing, so he could only angrily slash his sword in the air and threatened: "What on earth are you doing here? You might as well attract them!"

"this……"

Lin Daiyu subconsciously looked at Shi Xiangyun.

Shi Xiangyun hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's better to let the third sister know about this matter, but the elder sister needs to swear to never tell anyone about it."

Seeing that she was serious about what she said, Jia Tanchun put aside his shame and anger, and asked curiously: "What on earth is going on, and is it so serious?"

Seeing that the two of them remained silent, she had no choice but to say: "Come on, I swear, it will be done, right? If I spread the word without your consent, I will get sores on my tongue, pierce my intestines and pierce my belly!"

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Then they took Tanchun to a hexagonal pavilion built by the water behind the rocks. They pointed to the manuscript on the desk in the middle and said, "Take a look at this first." What is it."

Tan Chun took a closer look and saw that although the handwriting on it was beautiful, it was messy compared to the two people's usual writings. There were also many places where purchases and sales were smeared, so it was obviously just a draft.

As for the content...

She picked up the top page and scanned a few lines, and immediately frowned. After reading it patiently, she couldn't help but look at Shi Xiangyun in surprise, as if she had known her the first day.

Shi Xiangyun covered his mouth and smiled, pointed at the table and said, "Sister, look at something else."

Tan Chun took a deep look at her, and then picked up other drafts to look at them. The more he looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but question: "What on earth is going on? Isn't Zhou Long the one who wants to Are you trying to frame the head of the Ministry of Etiquette who framed Engineering? How come you are calling out his grievances on his behalf and complaining about his sufferings?"

With that said, he picked out two pages and held them up to Shi Xiangyun's eyes and asked: "There are even those who wantonly criticize Jiao...criticize Brother Jiao, are you crazy?"

Given the current trend of public opinion, it is not unusual for some young ladies who think they are talented but look down on the lower class to write a few articles criticizing Jiao Shun out of boredom.

But who is Shi Xiangyun?

Jiao Shun’s unmarried wife!

Why did she concoct these things?

Could it be that……

She has discovered Jiao Shun's secret and shameless behavior, so she wants to break off the marriage with her own hands?

But that shouldn't be the case. Two days ago, she was riding a car sent by Jiao Shun, swaggering through the city. Besides, she didn't look like she was bitter and resentful.

"whee……"

At this time, Shi Xiangyun covered his mouth and smiled, winked at Lin Daiyu proudly and said, "Third sister has always been shrewd, but she was fooled by this deception, which shows that this method can indeed work."

Lin Daiyu nodded, smiled and pushed her again, urging: "Look at how anxious the third sister is, why don't you reveal the mystery quickly!"

Shi Xiangyun then revealed the answer: "These articles were actually asked by Brother Jiao to write for us."

"Why?"

Jia Tanchun shook the manuscript paper in his hand and asked in confusion: "What does he mean by praising his enemies and belittling himself?"

"Is this..."

Shi Xiangyun turned her attention to Lin Daiyu. Due to her unmarried status, it was inconvenient to go to Jiao's house. She actually heard what Lin Daiyu relayed, so she felt that Sister Lin would be more detailed.

Lin Daiyu did not refuse, she sat down behind the desk, motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then sighed: "Brother Jiao was ordered to investigate the case this time. He wanted to get to the bottom of it and find out the mastermind behind it.

Seeking justice for yourself will also pave the way for the New Deal."

"But now that the scholars are in power, if the ministers speak with one voice, I am afraid that even the emperor will have to shun him. Even if he takes down the pawn of Zhou Long, it will not cause much harm to those who follow the old ways. On the contrary, it will make the scholars feel the same hatred and become more and more unhappy.

It is conducive to the new policy of engineering and learning.”

"So Brother Jiao thought of simply going the opposite way, taking advantage of the public opinion that scholars unanimously sympathized with Zhou Long, and promoted this beast to the altar, forcing the three judges to do their best to keep him safe. In this way, the Holy Spirit would

Without the steps to ease it, if we don’t make up our mind to investigate this case thoroughly, we will have no choice but to give up completely on the new policy of engineering and learning.”

"If it's the former, Brother Jiao will not hesitate to do anything to his heart's content."

"If it's the latter..."

When Lin Daiyu said this, she shook her head slightly and said: "Since your Majesty is like this, he can only stop his activities and drums to avoid the edge for the time being."

After hearing this explanation, Jia Tanchun looked at the text in his hand and felt that it was very heavy. He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there are so many intrigues hidden in it. The same party and the opposite party, but he can think of this."

method."

"Giggle..."

Lin Daiyu smiled through her cigarette holder and said narrowly: "If it were just like what my sister thought just now, the treachery and evil could be identified at a glance, decided with a word, and killed with a sword, how could there be so many good and bad deeds left for posterity throughout the ages?

Comment?"

Hearing Daiyu mention this again, Tanchun jumped up angrily and wanted to tickle her.

Daiyu hurriedly dodged behind Shi Xiangyun, dodging around Xiangyun, and jokingly said: "Sister, why are you so anxious? I won't tell anyone about your swordsmanship that can cut off people's troubles~ I won't obey you if you come again!"

Shi Xiangyun originally planned to sit back and watch them play, but when he saw the draft in Tanchun's hand being messy in the wind, he hurriedly reached out to stop her: "Good sister, please put down what you are holding first."

After Tanchunjing reminded her, she remembered that she still had the draft in her hand, so she walked to the desk and carefully placed it in categories.

After this interruption, she originally wanted to reveal the previous matter and not mention it, but she didn't want to hear Lin Daiyu jokingly ask: "By the way, which officer was killed with the last sword? My sister actually let it go."

His life was only cut off... cluck cluck..."

As he spoke, he laughed so hard that his branches trembled.

"you!"

Tanchun stomped his feet in shame and anger, turned his back and said, "Naughty ghost, I will never ignore you again!"

"Sister, don't be upset."

Shi Xiangyun was also very curious about this question. He stepped forward and took Tanchun's arm, and said coquettishly: "Can you just show mercy and tell us what's going on?"

What else could be going on?

My aunt just wants to cut off your man’s sense of right and wrong!

Tan Chun cursed in his heart. It could be seen that the two people were staring at him eagerly, so he had to make up a perfunctory excuse: "There was a mention in the book of an official who could control floods, but he was drunk and immoral and raped a good woman, so I...

"

"So that's what happened."

Lin Daiyu suddenly realized it, and immediately smiled, covering her mouth and said: "I remember that Brother Jiao seemed to be doing water control errands last month, hehe..."

Tanchun's heart was beating like a drum when she unexpectedly exposed the truth, but he didn't dare to speak out to argue.

Fortunately, Shi Xiangyun next to him was not happy and said with a pout: "Sister is always so ungrateful. No wonder the third sister wants to punish you!"

With that said, he encouraged Tanchun to clean up Daiyu with him.

Seeing this, Daiyu quickly bowed and begged for mercy: "Good sister, I was wrong, I was wrong! Let's hurry up and get down to business. If important matters of the court are delayed, you and I will be the chief culprits."

Only then did Shi Xiangyun give up.

Tanchun couldn't help but wonder at this moment: "How did such a big thing come to be entrusted to you?"

"Brother Jiao comes from a poor background after all."

Lin Daiyu said nonchalantly: "It is inevitable that he would have to work hard on these pen and ink activities, and he could not trust the literati outside, so naturally he could only find help from the inner house. Originally, Sister Xing was qualified for the task, but now she really can't bother, so she has to

We have no choice but to leave it to us."

These words were nothing at first, but when they fell into the ears of a "careful person", a jealousy arose.

Tan Chunxin said that it was just that he was looking for Sister Yun, but why did he drag Sister Lin with him? It was just that he was looking for Sister Lin, but why didn't he mention it to himself?

Although she also knew that with her usual attitude of shouting and killing, it was normal for Jiao Shun not to look for her, but she still couldn't help but feel a little sour.

At this time, I heard Shi Xiangyun's invitation: "We are worried about the lack of manpower and are afraid of delaying the main business. Now that the third sister already knows, we can't just sit idly by."

Jia Tanchun had no objection to this, and was even happy that he could participate in such a major court event.

But what to do specifically...

She pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I have always disliked those pedantic literati, I'm afraid I won't be able to write articles praising them."

Lin Daiyu rolled her cute eyes and pursed her lips: "Are we the ones who care about bad feet?"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "Come on, come on, since we are dragging you into the water this time, we will let you go for once. You can just write some articles that satirize and ridicule Brother Jiao. It just so happens that Sister Yun can't write it either."

Come here."

"Sister Lin!"

Shi Xiangyun stamped his feet shyly, and the two of them got into a fight again.

After a long while, Shi Xiangyun reminded again: "Third sister, you should come up with a pen name first. It will be published in the newspaper then."
