Chapter 57 The hot spring (1) (1)
It will be the New Year a few days later. Although, it was not as lively at the manor as the houses of ordinary people, but it was full of lights and festivities.
After paying the new year greeting to Qingyu’s master and had fun with everyone, Zhao Zimu took Lin Qing and left. When they walked to the door a servant came looking for her. She didn’t know the servant, but she knew the person who was looking for her.
It had snowed a few days ago and it was a bit cold outside. Zhao Zimu only left after pushing Lin Qing into a warm room, but she didn’t saw the eyes of the servant who was behind her shrank when he looked at Lin Qing. Lin Qing saw it, but he didn’t mention it. He only said to Zhao Zimu, “Come back earlier.”
Zhao Zimu nodded and left with the servant. When the servant was leaving, he subtly looked a few times at Lin Qing. Zhao Zimu frowned slightly and still followed the servant coldly.
The one who was looking for her is a son of one of her uncle masters. When she was roaming the Jianghu before, she had received his care. Hence, Zhao Zimu wouldn’t not give him this face.
A young man who was wearing a big cloak was waiting for her at the corridor. Zhao Zimu shouted, “Senior brother.”
The person who was standing here heard the voice and turned his head to look at her. In his eyes emerged her figure that was like it came from a painting. A wave quickly flashed through his eyes.
She looked no different from before except that her eyes were less cold now and her face had more gentleness.
After not seeing each other for a few years, it just seemed like yesterday. When Yang Ji saw the person he wanted to see, he didn’t know what to say. He could only smile slightly and asked, “Junior sister, how have you been these years?”
Yang Ji had just rushed back from outside. So, she didn’t see him during the dinner just now. He had presumably paid his new year greeting to master before coming to look for her. Zhao Zimu smiled, “Thanks senior brother for your concern. Zimu is very well. Having not seen senior brother for so many years, senior brother’s graceful bearing is better than before.”
“You were a stubborn little girl back then. You didn’t want to ask favors from anyone. No matter what you encounter, you wanted to solve it by yourself and always come and go alone. I will always remember that I helped you once and in the end, you only gave me an attitude. So, I wondered what kind of talented man could take you as wife. I never thought that you would marry in a blink of an eye. Many things change in the world.” Yang Ji sighed. The girl that he had secretly kept in his heart had already married in a blink of an eye. What else could he say?
Although, Yang Ji is also a disciple of Qingyu sect, but his family background is extraordinary. He is a young master of a wealthy family. He would not marry someone because he likes her. His marriage is determined by his family.
Yang Ji didn’t give up. Therefore, he wanted to ask aunt Qing for Zhao Zimu after he had taken a wife. They were not unfamiliar with each other. As long as he went to ask aunt Qing and promise to treat Zhao Zimu well, he believed that she would agree because every man could have multiple wives and concubines since ancient times. Which man didn’t have many wives? Moreover, his background was good. This was very normal.
But now, he heard that the person in front of him had already married. He still felt some unwillingness to accept it in his heart. How could that lonely and cold person marry someone so easily? That was why, he wanted to have a look, to see how she was now and what reaction she would have upon seeing him again.
It was just that he didn’t expect that she was still so indifferent. Before, he didn’t want to see the person who had married her, but now he was a bit curious. He wanted to see if the her in front of him would treat him (LQ) the same. He hoped that it was the same in his heart.
“Senior brother still remembers the past? At that time, Zimu was ignorant and caused senior brother to worry. I will apologize to senior brother here and ask senior brother to please forget it.”
Zhao Zimu was a bit apologetical. She was still young at that time. It was unavoidable that she was impulsive and hot-tempered.
Yang Ji was a bit sorrowful in his heart. How could he forget? He wished that she could trouble him some more. It was just that she never asked for help and making people not even have the chance to approach her. If it wasn’t because of his family, he would’ve long wanted to confess his heart to her and marry her. Everything was too late now.
When aunt Qing brought her to Qingyu, she (Q) didn’t tell anyone about her (ZZ) background. After all, Zhao Zimu’s mother had already chosen to leave the Jianghu and had ended up like that. she didn’t want this child to get the strange looks from others.
Therefore, Yang Ji didn’t know that Zhao Zimu wasn’t a full-fledged Jianghu person and also didn’t know where her home was. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until now to see Zhao Zimu at Qingyu Mountain.
Yang Ji suppressed the sorrow in his heart and said, “Junior sister, don’t know what the name of your husband is and from where he is. Does he treat you well?”
If he treats you badly, would I have a chance?
Zhao Zimu laughed, “His surname is Lin and is from the capital. He treats me very well. Thanking senior brother for your concern.”
Yang Ji didn’t give up and said, “Then, when did you held the wedding ceremony and you didn’t even invite senior brother to go have a wedding wine.” Speaking till here, he was a bit bitter. If she had truly invited him, presumably, the wine he drank would be bitter.
Zhao Zimu smiled slightly and said, “We haven’t had the wedding ceremony yet. If we have it, I will certainly invite senior brother to come have a cup of wedding wine.”
Not have the wedding ceremony yet? Yang Jing was shocked. He knew that the children of the Jianghu didn’t bother about trifles. However, the two were already together without having married, wasn’t this a bit lose in morals?
Yang Ji’s eyebrows tightened and asked, “Why? Isn’t he willing? Could it be that he doesn’t know how important this is to a woman’s reputation?!”
Yang Ji’s tone was a bit bad. Although, he was happy when he heard that Zhao Zimu had never truly had a wedding ceremony, but when he remembered that they already lived together without being married, he got angry. He felt like a fire was burning in his heart, making him ignited.
Zhao Zimu explained, “Although, we had never had a wedding ceremony, but we are really husband and wife. He doesn’t have parents, I also don’t need parents. Hence, we don’t care about this kind of formality. Maybe, we will do it someday. By then, I ask senior brother to please grace us with your presence.”
But do you know the importance of a marriage between a man and woman? Especially for a woman, this was a formality but also a kind of safeguard. It was to prevent the man from having two minds and not owning up after playing with the woman. This was a lifetime safeguard of a woman. Moreover, without the three negotiators and six kinds of bridal gifts, how would you face the rumors and slanders of other people and eyes of the world?
