"Zhuo Lingjun!" Liang Xiao gladly accepted the letter.
At the same time, Zhen Mi also walked out of the room with Jian Qinwan. Seeing Liang Xiao reading a letter, she dared not disturb him.
Liang Xiao smiled as he read the contents of the letter.
Zhuo Zifang praised Liang Xiao highly in the letter, with words full of longing. He also told Liang Xiao about the current situation in Jiangnan and hoped that Liang Xiao would look for him when he had the chance to visit Jiangnan, so that he could fulfill his duties as a host.
However, Zhuo Zifang specifically reminded Liang Xiao that if he could not guarantee his own safety, he should not reveal his identity before seeing him, lest someone try to assassinate him. After all, Jiangnan was far from the capital, and Liang Xiao had offended too many noble families.
Yue Lian clapped her small hands and laughed, "It seems that Lord Zhuo treats young master like his own grandchild!"
Jian Qinwan leaned in curiously and took a look, also unable to help but smile.
She saw a line written by Zhuo Zifang: "I really wish I could become your disciple and learn how to make tools."
Suddenly, Jian Qinwan's beautiful eyes lit up: "You can make tools?"
Scholars have always disdained to study these "ingenious but unrighteous crafts" before becoming officials!
"A little bit."
Liang Xiao replied nonchalantly, went to his room to get brush and ink, and wrote a reply on the spot.
Coincidentally, Liang Xiao also had the idea of seeking talented people in Jiangnan.
Watching Liang Xiao's cursive script, which was both powerful and elegant, Jian Qinwan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she was secretly pleased.
Why? Jian Qinwan could tell that Liang Xiao's calligraphy had the style of a martial artist!
For example, she and her Sword Saint father had similar styles, but their calligraphy was far inferior to Liang Xiao's.
"Let's see how long you can keep this up..." Jian Qinwan thought joyfully, but outwardly remained calm.
After all, Liang Xiao was "born with divine strength," and she couldn't be sure if he was really the Heavenly General.
The more she witnessed Liang Xiao's literary talent, the more she couldn't connect Liang Xiao with that Heavenly General who appeared out of nowhere.
Liang Wen took Liang Xiao's letter and left.
"Brother Xiao will surely become a sage of the Great Gan Kingdom in the future!" Zhen Mi's eyes sparkled with starlight, her small face flushed red.
Recently, Zhen Mi had deeply understood what kind of important figure Lord Zhuo was!
Liang Xiao smiled and said, "That's not important. Mi'er, have you truly mastered the Four Books and Five Classics?"
Seeing Zhen Mi nod, Liang Xiao casually picked a few verses to test Zhen Mi, who answered fluently.
Jian Qinwan also dotingly rubbed Zhen Mi's little head.
Truly a genius among women!
Zhen Mi gazed at Liang Xiao, her eyes firm: "Brother Xiao doesn't want Mi'er to help write poems and sell wine, so Mi'er wants to try writing a book for Brother Xiao."
Liang Xiao and the other two looked at Zhen Mi in surprise: "Write a book?"
Zhen Mi nodded firmly, confirming her intention again.
Liang Xiao patted Zhen Mi's shoulder with relief: "Then you can try writing with peace of mind, but you don't have to write about Brother Xiao's story. Write what you want to write in your heart. Perhaps in the future, the Great Gan Kingdom will have a peerless talented woman!"
"Brother Xiao is the story Mi'er wants to write!" Zhen Mi said resolutely.
Liang Xiao was speechless with laughter, and simply nodded.
With Liang Xiao's permission, Zhen Mi chirped happily like a lark, singing folk songs from her hometown.
"Young master, I should change your medicine later," Yue Lian reminded him.
Liang Xiao agreed, and Yue Lian went to prepare hot water.
Jian Qinwan sat beside Zhen Mi, listening to the conversation between Zhen Mi and Liang Xiao, saying nothing.
A moment later, Liang Xiao went in to bathe. When he came out, he saw Yue Lian looking at him, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Young master..."
Just as Liang Xiao was wondering, Jian Qinwan stood up and said, "This time, I'll change your medicine!"
Liang Xiao was startled and repeatedly shook his head: "Thank you, Bodhisattva, but no need! Yue Lian knows how to change it. You are a clean person, and my injuries might make you uncomfortable, reducing your remaining good impression of me."
Jian Qinwan said coldly, "Your injuries will be close to healed in a month, but you will still need to change your medicine frequently in the days to come to nourish your body and skin. There will be times when Yue Lian cannot follow you, and I must adapt."
Liang Xiao pouted: "Then I'll find a man to change it for me. Men and women should not interact too closely..."
"Whoosh!"
Jian Qinwan immediately drew her sword, her face flushed: "When I took a bath, did I have such awareness?"
Brother Xiao saw Sister Qinwan bathing?
Zhen Mi looked at the two of them, dumbfounded.
Liang Xiao's old face turned red. He covered his embarrassment with laughter and turned towards his room: "Female Rakshasa, be gentle. Although I am a man, I am still a pure virgin."
Jian Qinwan's forehead veins bulged, her sword-holding hand trembled violently, and she almost flew over to hack Liang Xiao to pieces.
Yue Lian laughed heartily.
How shameless is the young master!
After struggling internally for a long time, Jian Qinwan snorted coldly and followed him in. After Yue Lian sent Zhen Mi back to her room, she also followed.
In the room, after Liang Xiao took off his last upper garment, he soon heard sobbing.
"Yue Lian, this is the ninety-second time you've cried over my injuries," Liang Xiao sighed.
Yue Lian then choked out, "Yes, young master, I'm not crying..."
Liang Xiao smiled with relief, but the crying continued intermittently.
"Yue Lian."
"Young master, it's not me crying..." Yue Lian replied weakly.
Liang Xiao was stunned and then clearly heard the crying coming from behind him.
It turned out that Jian Qinwan was looking at the scars on Liang Xiao's back, tears streaming down her face.
"His injuries clearly indicate he experienced a fierce battle, fought until he was exhausted, and was also frostbitten, causing the cold evil to enter his body, making him so hideous..."
Mu Xueqin's words from that day echoed in her mind, filling her with sorrow.
Even though his injuries had greatly improved, the scars still looked shocking!
What kind of tragic battle had he experienced?
"I just can't bear to see others seriously injured and feel sad when I see it..." Jian Qinwan muttered to herself.
Liang Xiao fell silent, and Yue Lian also fell silent. Both were equally surprised.
Doesn't she have serious mysophobia?
Only Jian Qinwan shed tears silently, her trembling hand smearing ointment onto Liang Xiao's wounds.
After applying the medicine, Jian Qinwan also calmed her mood. Ignoring Liang Xiao, she returned to Zhen Mi's room to wash her hands, feeling dejected.
Zhen Mi pestered Jian Qinwan, asking about Liang Xiao seeing her bathe.
Jian Qinwan lightly flicked Zhen Mi's forehead: "Children are not allowed to ask about this!"
Zhen Mi obediently agreed and then asked, "Sister Qinwan, do you also like Brother Xiao?"
Jian Qinwan's breath hitched. She flicked Zhen Mi's forehead again and pretended to be serious: "No, children are not allowed to ask about this either!"
Zhen Mi then said weakly, "Sister Yue Lian said that Sister Qinwan dislikes Sister Qingxue very much, but Sister Qingxue is actually very, very good..."
Jian Qinwan was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly: "She and I only have occasional disagreements. It's harmless. Don't get involved. Actually, I'm quite envious... I quite admire her."
"Because Sister Qingxue is Brother Xiao's fiancée, so Sister Qinwan is jealous?" Zhen Mi was clearly determined to get to the bottom of it.
Jian Qinwan's heart panicked. She pinched Zhen Mi's cheek: "Nonsense! Mi'er is still a child. Don't ask anymore."
"Then Mi'er and Sister Qinwan can exchange a secret about Brother Xiao, a huge secret, okay?" Zhen Mi hugged Jian Qinwan's arm and began to act spoiled.
Jian Qinwan looked at Zhen Mi curiously. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
The next morning, the moment Jian Qinwan saw Liang Xiao, she glared at him with disgust: "Pervert!"
Liang Xiao and Yue Lian were bewildered. Just as they were about to ask why, Liang Yun ran over excitedly.
"Big brother, some of the wine can be qualified for production!"
Liang Xiao was overjoyed and immediately sent people to notify the major wealthy families in the capital.
