The girl was dressed in men's clothing, like an orchid orchid tree, with clear eyebrows, soft eyes, and a warm and clear smile. Jin Wenting's tight body relaxed slightly.
It's like a gentle ray of sunshine falling from the bright sun on a harsh winter day, falling on your face and dispelling all the coldness.
The young man's cold aura gradually dissipated, and he could only feel the girl's soft smile, and for a moment, he seemed to be back in the simple house in Xiajia Village.
She held him on her lap. The clay stove was lit in the house and it was snowing outside. She held a book and read slowly word by word.
"...The king treats the people with benevolence, saves punishments, reduces taxes, and makes farming easier. The strong man spends his spare time cultivating his filial piety, loyalty, and faithfulness. When he goes in, he serves his father and brother, and when he goes out, he serves his superiors. He can use the stiles to attack the Qin Dynasty. Chu Zhi's strong armor and powerful soldiers... Zaizai, this is a sentence from "Mencius: King Hui of Liang". It is the story of Mencius advising the King of Liang to implement benevolent government, use less punishment, and govern the country with benevolence."
Jin Wenting disliked the Four Books and Five Classics used in scientific examinations.
The imperial grandfather asked him to read, but he always did it perfunctorily and became annoyed when he heard the chatter of reading.
If he had to read a book, he would rather read the Legalist books that advocated harsh punishments and laws, or the art of war and the like.
But when she hugged him and read in a clear voice, he couldn't help but calm down. Enjoying the numbing comfort of her caressing his back, he slowly listened to those sentences.
Only she, like a hot spring or clear water, could soothe the anger in his heart.
Just like now.
Jin Wenting followed her into the house involuntarily, but his eyebrows were still furrowed and his tone was cold: "Why are you so angry? The troublemaker is outside. Just deal with it!"
"That's not good. Mr. Mo's father is a high-ranking guard, a fifth-rank official. He can shout and kill people casually, but how dare he take action against his son."
"If you want to hurt people, this fifth-grade official is so domineering, even more impressive than this prince! What practical things can such an official do? Get rid of him as soon as possible and make room for the truly capable!"
"Isn't what you said more domineering?"
"Hmph, I am domineering and I have this capital, does he have it?"
"Okay, okay, the prince is indeed overbearing, indeed overbearing. So now, go and finish the pear water first, okay?"
"snort."
Mo Min lay there dumbly and whispered. Only then did he understand one word in everyone's words -
"Prince"
What prince
Is he the prince? Is that man the prince? ! Wait, what kind of prince is he? The one he just shouted and offended is a prince? !
Mo Min shuddered violently, and a fear spread in his heart, making his whole body stiff with cold.
- He... Did he mess with someone he shouldn't mess with
No, help!
Shen Junyi took out his ears and waved, and someone immediately came forward, blocked Mo Min's mouth, tied him up and dragged him away.
The county magistrate was waiting beside him sweating profusely, looking at Shen Junyi nervously, fearing that he would say something like "the county magistrate condoned the unruly people's mischief and captured them all".
Seeing what he was thinking, Shen Junyi narrowed his peach blossom eyes and smiled charmingly: "Don't worry, County Magistrate. I am here with the Crown Prince because I do have something important to do."
"W-what's important?"
Shen Junyi said: "During the interrogation of the Crown Prince in the capital, someone had to confess that fifteen years ago when the world first decided the rewards for official appointments, many people robbed their subordinates of their military merits, pretended to take them, and got mixed up. High grade. This time I came here to deal with them."
