Chapter 1268: Cousin Lin's transformation plan!
Night fell, and the stars hung high.
After searching for Lin Daiyu for a whole day, Jia Lian finally got news, which was that she had very likely been picked up by the Earl of Loyalty and Valor.
Thinking of someone saying today that at the harbor, the Earl of Loyalty and Valor had raised the flag of the Jia family, Jia Lian guessed that Lin Daiyu had very likely boarded the wrong sedan.
After all, she had just entered the capital from Yangzhou and only knew that her grandmother's family was quite powerful; it was very likely that the people below had misunderstood!
But what did it mean for Jia Jue to take Lin Daiyu away? Could it be that he was buying groceries on the way and just carried her home?
Just as Jia Lian told Wang Xifeng the news, she was also quite puzzled: "Boarded the wrong sedan?"
"It's very likely, otherwise how could there not be a single bit of news!"
Speaking to Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian couldn't help but say: "Isn't there an invitation to be sent tomorrow? Why don't I go and scout it out!"
"You go?"
Pointing at Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but laugh lightly.
"Can I not?"
Looking at Wang Xifeng beside him, Jia Lian immediately asked.
"You probably forgot, last time you and Lai Da went to Jiangnan, someone had their leg broken!"
Speaking to Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"That's true, but besides me, is there anyone else in this mansion?"
Looking at Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian now had a headache; letting Jia Zheng and Jia She come forward would be too much importance, but if he went, it would be too much of a slight; nothing felt right!
"Why not in the name of a clansman gathering?"
Looking at Jia Lian beside her who had a headache, Wang Xifeng asked.
"This idea is not bad. In that case, I can go!"
Speaking to Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian's hand slowly began to stroke upward.
"You brainless thing, roll to the side. The smell of powder on your body hasn't dissipated yet?"
Looking at Jia Lian's actions, Wang Xifeng pushed him to the side.
Looking at Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian also stood up in irritation: "Humph, I don't believe I can't find anyone!"
Watching Jia Lian turn and leave, Wang Xifeng originally wanted to let him say a few soft words, but seeing him like this, she immediately roared in anger: "Your brain is full of filthy things! If you go out, don't come back!"
"If I don't come back, I don't come back!"
After walking outside the door, Jia Lian heard this sentence and immediately turned around, poked his head in, and roared.
"Roll!"
Throwing a bottle, Wang Xifeng was also furious.
The next morning, before dawn,
Lin Daiyu was awakened by her maid, Xueyan.
Looking at Xueyan in a daze, Lin Daiyu was a bit confused: "Xueyan, what is it!"
"Young Lady, the Earl of Loyalty and Valor wants you to go to the courtyard to exercise! He said Grandmother said your body is weak, and you must exercise diligently!"
Speaking to Lin Daiyu, Xueyan also felt a headache.
Because who wakes people up early in the morning to exercise!
However, thinking that Zhang Cheng should be taking revenge on her for yesterday's incident, Lin Daiyu pouted: "Still a second-rank Earl? So petty!"
"Young Lady, the Earl of Loyalty and Valor is waiting for you outside!"
Speaking to Lin Daiyu, Xueyan couldn't help but feel awkward.
"Humph, I'll get up right now!"
With Xueyan's help, after Lin Daiyu put on her clothes, she slowly arrived in the courtyard.
But when she saw Zhang Cheng, who was wearing casual clothes and had his hair tied up, she couldn't help but be surprised.
Because in her heart, her father was a top-tier person, but the Zhang Cheng before her actually had a momentum not weaker than her father's.
"Cousin Lin didn't sleep well?"
Looking at Lin Daiyu with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tease.
"Sister didn't sleep well, and this is all thanks to Brother coming to wake me up early in the morning!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and immediately retorted.
Looking at Lin 'Dui-Dui's' appearance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "In that case, Cousin Lin must cherish time well. Don't you know, time is like a horse with a whip, days are like falling flowers and flowing water; your little body is too weak, and you won't be able to find a suitable husband in the future!"
"You?"
Looking up, Lin Daiyu looked at Zhang Cheng and couldn't help but become irritated.
"Look at your brother here; I am only four years older than you, and I can already mount a horse to kill enemies and dismount to capture tigers!" Teasing Lin Daiyu, Zhang Cheng walked into the courtyard: "Come, Brother will teach you martial arts; in the future, I will definitely cultivate you into a top-tier man!"
"Pfft!"
Laughing out loud, Xueyan was already laughing as she listened to Zhang Cheng's words.
Because what was this Earl of Loyalty and Valor saying? Cultivating the young lady into a top-tier man!
"Xueyan?"
Turning to look at Xueyan, Lin Daiyu had already clenched her fists.
Because she discovered that not only could she not out-talk Zhang Cheng, she couldn't beat him either, which made Lin Daiyu uncomfortable!
"Come, follow Brother, first smooth the meridians..."
Speaking to Lin Daiyu, Zhang Cheng smiled, but his hands were already in the posture of the 'Divine Illumination Classic'.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lin Daiyu pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction.
But just at this moment, Zhang Cheng turned his head: "It doesn't matter if you don't learn. I will go to court today and report to His Majesty that Lord Lin Ruhai frequented brothels in Yangzhou, sang songs every night, and raised three hundred 'thin horses'..."
"You're talking nonsense! How could my father do such a thing!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng with anger, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but become irritated.
"I know, but that doesn't stop me from being a reckless official! Right!"
Looking at Lin Daiyu with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng imitated Lin Daiyu's blinking from yesterday: "Are you learning?"
"Learning!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng through gritted teeth, Lin Daiyu was truly afraid that Zhang Cheng would report nonsense in court; if this ruined her father's reputation, that would be bad!
"Xueyan, you can follow along and learn too. After all, your young lady's body is weak; if she encounters anything, in case she can't win an argument, you can help her win a fight!"
Speaking to Xueyan, Zhang Cheng laughed.
"Really? My Lord Earl!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Xueyan was astonished.
"Of course. People of my Jia family can all learn, but you cannot pass it on to outsiders..."
Looking at Xueyan, Zhang Cheng laughed.
"Smooth the meridians, open the channels, set the bones, nourish the spirit in the soul, set the power in the heart..."
Just as Lin Daiyu and Xueyan finished two sets of moves following Zhang Cheng, they immediately felt a burst of heat in their bodies, and sweat kept coming out.
But if it were normal, Lin Daiyu wouldn't have been able to persist, but today she actually felt her body was very energetic, which was strange.
After continuing for two more sets, Zhang Cheng said lightly: "Alright, that's it for today. Go wash up! You're stinking this Earl to death!"
"Stinking? Who's stinking!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Xueyan and Lin Daiyu, after coming back to their senses, discovered that their bodies were actually covered in filth.
"Ah!"
Screaming loudly, Lin Daiyu looked at Xueyan's appearance and couldn't help but shout.
And just as Xueyan looked at Lin Daiyu, she was also shocked: "Young Lady, did you go crawling in a mud pit?"
"Xueyan, shut up! Quickly have someone send water in; I want to wash my body, it's truly shameful!"
Running into the room quickly, Lin Daiyu had no face to see anyone.
And just at this moment, the Goryeo maids entered the room with water basins, and noisy sounds came from inside.
Humming a little tune, Zhang Cheng came to the backyard and looked at Cuizhu: "Sister, have Mother and Sister-in-law finished practicing?"
"They are already done, they are washing up!"
Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Cuizhu asked: "Young Master, what is it that we practiced!"
"The Divine Illumination Classic! A very 'ordinary' health-nourishing technique!"
Looking at Cuizhu, Zhang Cheng smiled.
"Is that so?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng with suspicion, Cuizhu was astonished.
However, following behind Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei's mouth twitched, because this was indeed very "ordinary"; after all, the clansmen of his Jia family could all become fierce generals after practicing it!
