Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 144 Floating Yuanzi, 2 Hearts Together

"All right."

Jiang Xun gently lifted up Shen Jiansui's hand.

The wound had been carefully bandaged, and even the blood stains had been carefully wiped clean by him with a wet towel.

"Don't exert any strength, don't touch water, and don't hold a knife or a gun during these days."

"I come to your house every day to change your medicine and see if you are following the doctor's instructions."

Jiang Xun raised his head as he spoke, only to see Shen Jiasui looking down at him. The light in his eyes made his heart beat fast.

"Suisui?"

His long eyelashes trembled, and he couldn't help but look up and call out softly.

At this time, Shen Jiasui leaned forward slightly and took the initiative to close the distance between him and Jiang Xun.

As she moved, the hair on her shoulders gradually slid down and landed on the back of Jiang Xun's hand resting on his knees.

It's light, soft, itchy, and captivating.

Jiang Xun's breathing suddenly became a little rapid. When their eyes met, their gazes were entangled, and a hint of heat and desire was revealed.

Jiang Xun's gaze involuntarily moved slightly downwards and landed on Shen Jiasui's rosy lips.

Year after year...

Is that what he thought?

Jiang Xun couldn't stop the burning sensation in his heart. Facing his beloved and Sui Sui, he really couldn't be called a gentleman.

He straightened his back slightly, almost going to meet her, when he suddenly heard Shen Jiasui say with great relief and sincerity:

"Axun, meeting you is such a blessing."

As Shen Jiasui spoke, he leaned down, gently put his arms around Jiang Xun's shoulders, and rested his chin on his shoulder.

The fragrance is close to me, and my hair rubs against my cheeks, making me feel itchy.

Jiang Xun was stunned at first, then he burst out laughing.

It was clearly his own lust that led him to mistakenly believe that Sui Sui was going to...

He raised his hand, gently embraced Shen Jiasui, his eyes full of smiles, and said softly:

"Sui Sui, the one who should say he is lucky is me."

"I also want to thank Sui Sui for thinking of me so much tonight."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui straightened up abruptly, his eyes gleaming like stars. "You figured out all this?"

Jiang Xun smiled and nodded, "Of course. All this time and effort, all this detour, is just to legitimately cripple Gu Xizhi's right hand, right?"

"Given Sui Sui's temperament, why should he be so restrained? I think it's for my reputation."

Seeing that Jiang Xun understood everything clearly, Shen Jiasui raised the corner of his mouth and nodded simply.

There is no need to hide the kindness you show to each other, just let the other person know.

"If I had directly crippled Gu Xizhi's hand, she would have definitely quarreled with me. In the past, I wouldn't have been afraid. After all, I never cared about reputation or anything like that."

“But it’s different now.”

As Shen Jiasui spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Xun with a serious expression.

"Axun has worked hard for so many years and gone through countless hardships to finally gain the reputation of being an upright and honest official."

"I know you're not doing this for fame or fortune, but only in this way can you make decisions for more people."

"Axun is so well-intentioned. I will be his wife in the future, so I can't hold him back."

"From now on, Axun and I will share honor and disgrace and walk side by side."

Shen Jiasui's feelings are always so straightforward and pure.

Yu Jiangxun, a person who is used to forbearance and overly delicate, is simply full of fatal attraction.

To this day, he still feels thankful over and over again that he chose to stay in the dry well in the wintersweet forest in the Imperial Garden that day.

"Lu Yunzheng is coming today, so everything is going well for Axun as well?"

Jiang Xun came back to his senses, smiled and nodded. It seemed that he had never smiled again tonight.

"Well, we can let Lu Yunzheng go according to our plan. I think Sui Sui is also looking forward to seeing Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi stab each other in the back."

Shen Jiasui nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, his eyes falling on Jiang Xun's gentle face. Now he understood more and more why Prince Rui and Prince Xiang were afraid of him.

Having a good brain can indeed accomplish more than just force.

"That's right, Sui Sui."

Jiang Xun suddenly looked up. "During the Flower Festival on the second day of the second lunar month, His Majesty personally ascended Mount Zhou to pray for the people. Do you remember this?"

Shen Jiasui frowned, "Zhou Shan prays for blessings?"

She recalled it carefully, but had no impression of it at all, and shook her head.

Jiang Xun didn't look surprised when he heard this.

"Trajectory is dead, but people are alive. A lot has changed in this life, and everyone is moving in response to the trend. I think the future is really heading towards the unknown."

"In previous years, people prayed at Zhoushan Mountain for good weather and good harvests, so as to share happiness with the people. Therefore, court officials could bring their families with them, but they could only stay in the official residences and inns at the foot of Zhoushan Mountain."

"The royal family will stay with His Majesty in the palace on Mount Zhou, usually for... three days."

When Shen Jiasui heard this, he grasped the key information in Jiang Xun's words.

"In this case, the Crown Princess is afraid..."

Jiang Xun nodded immediately.

Last time in the Wenhua Pavilion of the Imperial Garden, they had already talked about the Crown Princess's situation. Whether it was Prince Rui or Prince Xiang, Zhou Shan prayed for the blessing, it was a good time to act.

"Sui Sui, it's more than that."

Jiang Xun's face was filled with guilt. "Because of our marriage proposal, I'm afraid you'll be in danger during this trip to Zhoushan."

Shen Jiasui had just thought of this. She smiled and said, "Ning'er will definitely go too."

"Axun just mentioned the double act a few days ago, and now even the stage is set up."

Jiang Xun saw that Shen Jiasui knew everything, and he couldn't help but feel pity and relief.

"I already have some ideas and strategies for this trip. Sui Sui, please allow me a couple of days to think about it. I'll come back and discuss what we have."

Shen Jiasui was naturally completely confident in Jiang Xun, and immediately said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for good news."

The two were looking at each other and smiling when they suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside.

Jiang Xun hurriedly got up to see, and then he heard Shen Jiaheng's voice: "Sister!"

He strode in, carrying a food box in his hand.

Shen Jiasui stepped forward and asked curiously, "Brother Heng, what did you buy?"

Shen Jiaheng opened the food box like he was presenting a treasure and said with a smile, "Don't you like the floating dumplings from Zhaixinglou the most?"

Shen Jiasui's eyes lit up, and then his face was filled with emotion and surprise, "Brother Heng..."

Shen Jiaheng chuckled and placed the lunch box on the low table. "I'm injured today, so I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to go to Zhaixing Tower again. But I can't let you go home disappointed no matter what."

"It's still steaming hot, sis, come and eat it!"

Jiang Xun stood aside and saw Shen Jiaheng busying around, and his heart was filled with warmth.

Jiaheng is really caring towards Suisui.

Shen Jiasui was sitting at the low table with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to pick up a spoon, he was startled and almost forgot that his right hand was still injured.

She immediately switched to her left hand. At this time, Shen Jiaheng gently pushed Jiang Xun and whispered:

"Master Jiang will have a good time tonight."

Jiang Xun was startled when he heard this, and Shen Jiaheng had already lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Brother Heng, Axun, come and eat together!"

Shen Jiasui turned around and saw that Jiang Xun was the only one left in the room. He was stunned, "Where's Brother Heng?"

Jiang Xun looked at the swaying door curtain and couldn't help but chuckle.

As expected, from ancient times to the present, it has been crucial to establish a good relationship with your brother-in-law.

He walked over to sit opposite Shen Jiasui and said with a smile, "Jiaheng is out. He said it's a good deal for me tonight and asked me to eat with Suisui."

As Jiang Xun spoke, he naturally took the spoon from Shen Jiasui, scooped up a round and plump floating dumpling, and raised his hand to hang it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui glanced outside, feeling both touched and amused.

Brother Heng is also a person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

Ever since Axun came to propose marriage, Brother Heng often bullied Axun in front of her.

But the way she did it, it seemed that she was very satisfied with her future brother-in-law.

"Why does Sui Sui like to eat floating dumplings?"

Jiang Xun's voice drew Shen Jiasui's attention back.

She shook her head. "It's not that I really like eating it, but I think it represents family reunion, so I can't miss the Lantern Festival every year."

As she said this, the floating dumplings were already at her mouth.

Shen Jiasui's face flushed.

Under Jiang Xun's eager gaze, she opened her mouth and took the dumpling into her mouth, her cheeks puffing up slightly.

Jiang Xun smiled, "In my hometown, floating dumplings have another meaning."

Shen Jiasui looked curious, chewing a dumpling in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "What?"

Jiang Xun scooped up another floating dumpling and looked at Shen Jiasui steadily. His eyes were like a lake with rippling waves, and his emotions flowed slowly like silk threads.

He curled his lips and said meaningfully, "Flowers are endless, the moon is infinite, and our hearts are the same."

"Sui Sui and I ate the same bowl of floating dumplings. From now on, Sui Sui and I are of one mind."

As Jiang Xun spoke, he brought the floating dumplings to his mouth.

Seeing this, Shen Jiasui quickly reached out to stop him, "Wait, this spoon——"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Xun holding the spoon slightly and putting the floating dumplings into his mouth without hesitation.

Shen Jiasui immediately leaned back slightly, and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his lips. At this moment, his face was flushed like a pink cloud.

That spoon was hers...she had just used...

When Jiang Xun saw Shen Jiansui's reaction, he couldn't help but smile, and he felt his heart beating happily and quickly in his chest.

His eyes were burning, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a hint of... "badness" and secret joy that Shen Jiasui had never seen before.

He did it... on purpose.
