Chapter 285.1: Difference In Treatment
Once these people were genuinely convinced by Li Hong Yuan, even Jing Wan, who’d long witnessed a portion of his ability in scholarly learning before, at this time, also sincerely revered him. Just, this kind of reverence didn’t last for more than ‘three seconds’, because Li Hong Yuan had turned his head, borrowing the wine cup as a cover, and smiled a bit ‘smugly’ at Jing Wan, seemingly saying, ‘Look, just got won over this easily’.
Jing Wan couldn’t help but want to facepalm. Speaking of which, what’s with this kind of ‘begging for praise’ feeling, must be a misconception.
This caused that bit of doubt rising in Jing Wan’s heart———-Some things can be learned, and learned quickly, but some things were unable to be learned. Ever since he was born, it’s said that he’s never left the capital before, so how is it that he has those far-reaching wisdom and ‘experiences’———–After getting interrupted by him like this, it was completely tossed beyond the clouds.
In the end, Luo Pei Song expressed, he will stay in Kaiming Fu for a period of time, all the way until Jing Wan and them leaves. As for his next destination, since he has the intention to return to the capital, and don’t have other definite plans to begin with either, he might as well just directly head to the capital. When time comes, he will leave behind his letter and name card.
“Things can’t be better this way. Grandfather and grandmother will both be very happy. And if able to just settle down from then on, they will probably be even happier.” Jing Wan said with a smile.
“Can’t say for sure. After all, my age right now isn’t small anymore either, having let your grandfather and grandmother worry for many years. In the earlier years, when my parents were still alive, because I was unwilling to marry, it was always them helping me mediate in front of my parents, that’s why the relationship didn’t end up in a mess. For a long time now, it was always them indulging my stubbornness. To continue letting them worry like this is indeed somewhat overboard. In their eyes, regardless of how old I am, probably always uncertain in nature, and unreliable. I selfishly believed that in the earlier years, this was indeed the case, just afterwards, probably got used to it, used to traveling, drifting along indefinitely. Perhaps it’s time to let them change this impression.” Luo Pei Song more or less was a bit disappointed and frustrated.
“Great uncle doesn’t need to mind, because you and grandfather are born from the same mother. You are their close family. That’s why, these trivial matters, they won’t mind.”
“Indeed so, but often times, the one that’s truly unable to let go is oneself, and not others, because of feeling remorseful, blaming oneself, even resenting and so on.”
Indeed, Jing Wan completely was able to understand, and furthermore knew from experience, this kind of feeling, because she herself was also the same. However, now…………Jing Wan glanced at the man next to her. She seemingly has become increasingly calm in accepting his good, sometimes even feeling it was natural and expected. This was also what he wanted, wanting her to trust him and rely on him without the slightest reservations. He strove to have her ‘raised useless’, letting her learn luxury, learn how to enjoy herself, attempting to use the best things in the world to ‘bribe’ her, letting her be unable to leave him.
Even if not said out loud, Jing Wan was still able to sense from his behavior this bit. Although, she knew that there actually weren’t that much meaning. Most of it was probably just him purely wanting to give her the best, that’s all. To want to forever ‘retain her’, it was very simple, so long as his body and heart was one, only belonging to her alone.
When they were leaving, Luo Pei Song unhesitantly had the living survey map, Sir Shi, kept behind. After all, after Luo Pei Song opened his mouth, it definitely also made one pleasantly surprised. Sir Shi had many areas he was lacking in, to the extent that he may know many things, but under ordinary circumstances, he was simply unable to hold a conversation. After all, ordinary people completely didn’t feel his knowledge was useful, and the people that understood always like to speak in complicated terms, quoting the classics, for a time causing Sir Shi to be unable to comprehend. Thus, he was also reduced to an ‘useless person’.
However, when having reached Luo Pei Song’s level, one long didn’t need to ‘show off’ one’s scholarly learning, just like as if returning to one’s true self, using the most blunt words. Thus it would be strange to not understand.
Towards Sir Shi leaving behind, Li Hong Yuan also didn’t have any objection. In any case, the circumstances of Kaiming Fu, as well as the surrounding areas, they’ve already more or less understood, so in Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, he was just reduced to ‘trash’. Even so, it truly was not much with him, and not less lacking him. Thus, he was just this heartlessly ‘abandoned’.
To be able to follow by the side of a great scholar and ‘study’ for a period of time, for Sir Shi, it was also a very joyous matter, something that he didn’t even dare think of.
Due to certain considerations, regardless whether it was Li Hong Yuan or Jing Wan, they both never once called people to their side to serve. As such, when leaving Luo Pei Song’s little courtyard, at the gate, it was also just Gong mama and Mu An waiting there. However, there were probably quite a few people that knew they were here. As such, whether it was intentional or otherwise, the number of people wandering around nearby weren’t in the minority.
These people, however, didn’t have the slightest influence on Jing Wan and them, as they directly prepared to leave Kaiming Academy.
Li Hong Yuan was very clear as to what his old man was thinking. Although Yu Zhong Qing won’t report his secrets, Li Hong Yuan truly was uninterested in bothering with this bunch of clearly immature yet ambitious students.
Along the way, there were actually some that wanted to approach, but there were always some ‘strangely dressed’ men and women coming out from don’t know where, having them separated. Afterwards, they crowded around the group with the two of them in the lead, and everyone finally realized they were people the two of them brought along. Having such obvious attitude in refusing, there naturally won’t be insensible people continuing to approach.
Encountering Luo Pei Song was something outside of expectations, and because of this delay, the time was also getting late, so they can just directly head back.
In the following few days, Jing Wan and them had the places inside the city that can be explored all explored, and afterwards, just began turning their attention to the outside of the city. Due to Li Hong Yuan’s indulgence, Jing Wan practically abandoned the carriage, nine times out of ten traveling on horseback, either riding alone, or the two riding together. Her riding skill also rapidly soared upwards.
From this mountain top to that valley, from this temple to that dam, it was currently the time when hundreds of flowers were violently blooming, and regardless whether it was nature’s beauty, or artificial sculptures, it was all that beautiful beyond imagination. There were also the steep peaks of tall mountains, the endlessly changing sea of clouds, the elegant sunrise, and the majestic sunset.
Sometimes, hearing that at a certain remote place, there was something very delicious, they would also directly head over. Even if the final outcome didn’t meet their expectations, Jing Wan still smiled very happily. And Li Hong Yuan was just accompanying along to begin with, so seeing Jing Wan’s smiling face, it was more than enough for him to feel delighted, the depths of his heart tranquil. However, Jing Wan wasn’t going to let him off the hook. Don’t say that the living Enma knew how to play, it was actually still playing very elegantly. The most insane and the most wild was probably just madly galloping on horseback, but in the end, he was still able to be neatly dressed, not a hair out of place. The first time he completely lost his image was probably just that time at the imperial villa, getting pulled by Jing Wan to madly run around. Having that one experience, Li Hong Yuan rather didn’t have any aversion either. And after truly experiencing that kind of free and unconstrained willfulness, even someone raised under the strictest doctrine would all lose oneself in it.
One time, Jing Wan had a sudden impulse, originally preparing to return to the city, but she was just unwilling to return, insisting on ‘camping outdoors’. One must know, at present, it was all with her will as the first priority, so no one would say anything. However, the things weren’t prepared fully, and according to Gong mama’s idea, it was letting someone return to the city to fetch, but Jing Wan firmly forbid. For her to do this, it’s not that there weren’t factors of the people by her side always needing to prepare a pile of things whenever they went out, not having the slightest element of surprise or unexpectedness mixed in.
Rather, it wasn’t that in Jing Wan’s bones, there was a yearning for thrill, loving to take risks, it was purely because the people by her side were too ‘stiff’!
However, after this one time, Jing Wan also no longer wanted to play this kind of ‘unexpectedness’. Because after this one time, as long as it was leaving the city, the things the people by her side prepared were even more numerous and further complete, ready at any time to have ‘camping outdoors’ turned into a top-class high-end lodging. Thinking of those things, Jing Wan just couldn’t help but facepalm and sigh, looking towards a certain someone for help, yet a certain someone just watched the play, and moreover, expressed towards the people serving her, they did a good job, rewarding on the spot, later also adding to their salary.
Not a single person listened to her opinion, and in the end, Jing Wan could only helplessly express, in the future, she will no longer be willful. And Gong mama thus expressed, in the past, it was her that wasn’t thorough in her consideration, and in the future, will no longer make the same mistake. If this was Gong mama expressing her discontent towards her, it was still okay, but Jing Wan knew that she really thought this.
Picking up a rock to smash one’s own foot was also nothing more than this.
Aside from these tiny ‘discontent’, the rest were all very satisfactory, truly enjoying oneself to the fullest.
Because Li Hong Yuan had intentionally or otherwise unlocked quite a few new positions, the clear springs in the mountains, the bushes in the plains, the walking fine horse, too many places had their scent left behind. The living Enma wiped his mouth, practically can’t be too full. One has to know, for people like them, other than people with special hobbies, when on the bed, it was still mostly self-restraint and abiding by etiquette. In his past life, prior to meeting with misfortune, aside from being more intelligent than a great majority of people, he was still a standard noble young master. Afterwards, his temperament changed greatly, and in addition to his body being unwell to begin with, having someone in his heart, his inclinations in this aspect just dulled. And this lifetime, further don’t need to mention. For the sake of the person at the tip of his heart, he had continuously guarded his body like jade, so never thought that one could even play like this.
Don’t look at how the living Enma was insane and wild, his skills in love making maxed out, in certain aspects, he can still be considered ‘conservative’ and ‘pure’. But, after this experience, even Jing Wan all lit a row of candles for herself.
