Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck
Chapter 37 The Daughter Of The Former Sheriff
Chapter 37: The Daughter of the Former County Magistrate
After a moment.
Shu Xiaoxiao struggled to carry the water basin over.
Her face was flushed, and the fine hair on her forehead was already damp with sweat, sticking together.
"Young master, I'm here!"
"Mhmm!" Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
With Shu Xiaoxiao's assistance, Jiang Yuan finished washing up and said to her, "Let's go to Yunyan Tower today and listen to some music!"
"Ah! Young master, am I going with you?"
"Mhmm!" Jiang Yuan nodded while drying his hands.
"Do we need to call Uncle Ma and the others?"
"No need!"
On the way, Shu Xiaoxiao was filled with excitement.
Her curious eyes kept looking around.
Everything in Lin'an County was incredibly fresh to her.
The first time she came to Lin'an County, she was sold to Yunyan Tower by her parents.
At that time, her heart was filled with darkness, and she had no time to care about anything else.
But now, her mood was completely different. Following Jiang Yuan, she felt at ease.
Her heart was filled with tranquility.
Just as the two of them were halfway there.
A voice suddenly came from behind.
"Master Jiang, please wait!"
Jiang Yuan turned around and saw a well-dressed old man smiling at him.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yuan was a bit confused.
At that moment, the curtain of the sedan next to them was suddenly swept open.
"It's me!"
A calm and elderly voice entered Jiang Yuan's ears.
"So it's Steward Xia!" Jiang Yuan clasped his hands together. "I wonder what advice Steward Xia has?"
The person who came was the steward of the county government. He was responsible for almost all the affairs of the county government.
He could be considered one of Li Hong's true confidants.
Steward Xia looked at Shu Xiaoxiao, then at Jiang Yuan.
"Where are you going?"
"Yunyan Tower!" Jiang Yuan said.
When he heard these three words, Steward Xia furrowed his brows.
Then he said, "Jiang Yuan, you are still young and talented. Why waste your time in such a place instead of cultivating yourself?"
"Do you know? The county lord is very disappointed in you recently!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Jiang Yuan looked at him speechlessly.
Then he said lightly, "I'm going to Yunyan Tower to cultivate."
"You..." Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Steward Xia choked up.
Then he sighed, "Fine! It's up to you. I bid you farewell. I hope you take care of yourself in the future."
After speaking, he returned to the sedan.
There was a hint of anger in his tone. "Lin Steward, let's go back to the mansion!"
"Yes!"
The slightly well-dressed middle-aged man bowed his head and replied.
Then he raised his voice and said, "Let's go!"
Watching the sedan of the county government steward move away, Jiang Yuan faintly heard a sentence.
"A rotten wood cannot be carved!"
After a while.
Shu Xiaoxiao whispered, "Young master, did you have a conflict with him?"
Jiang Yuan smiled, "There was no conflict! He meant well, but he has a high opinion of himself!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuan shook his head.
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, Shu Xiaoxiao quickly followed.
After a while.
Yunyan Tower.
Jiang Yuan had just stepped through the front gate when a familiar voice instantly reached his ears.
"Oh, isn't this Master Jiang!"
"I knew I kept hearing the sound of magpies earlier. Turns out it was Master Jiang's grand arrival!"
The old lady from before instantly greeted him with a smile on her face.
Then, she came in front of Jiang Yuan and looked a bit embarrassed. "Master Jiang, it's just past noon now, and the girls are all resting."
Jiang Yuan waved his hand. "Call Suxin to come and play a tune for me."
Upon hearing these words, she instantly turned her worries into joy. "Ah, her! No problem, no problem!"
After saying that, she quickly ran to the backyard.
After a moment.
Private room number one.
Jiang Yuan had just taken a sip of wine when a knocking sound came from the door.
"Come in!"
Creak!
The door slowly opened.
A young girl appeared in front of Jiang Yuan, about nineteen or twenty years old, dressed in plain white.
"I am Su Xin, I have seen Young Master Jiang!"
She bowed gracefully.
[Name]: Bai Susu
[Realm]: Not yet entered
[Innate Luck]: Heavenly Melody (White), Proficient in Music (White), Literary Family (White)
[Heavenly Melody]: Possesses an outstanding singing voice, her singing can soothe the soul.
[Proficient in Music]: Exceptional skill in playing the qin, her music can reach the depths of the soul.
[Literary Family]: Born into a literary family, possesses exceptional talent in qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Then she sat gracefully on the side.
"I don't know what Young Master Jiang would like to hear."
"Anything, play what you are good at, something gentle."
She nodded slightly.
Then her slender fingers landed on the strings of the qin.
In an instant, a soft sound flowed like a clear spring, causing ripples like water droplets.
It seemed as if a gentle breeze blew through the mountains, and a hundred birds sang in the forest.
A comfortable feeling appeared in Jiang Yuan's mind.
The slight pain in his brow instantly eased.
Not bad!
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
His guess was correct, her qin music indeed had the effect of soothing spiritual trauma.
Afterwards, Jiang Yuan lay on Shu Xiaoxiao's small legs.
Shu Xiaoxiao instantly understood and gently placed her fingers between Jiang Yuan's eyebrows, massaging lightly.
On this day.
The qin music from the private room on the second floor played all day, and the singing also echoed throughout the day.
In the evening.
Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the white-clad girl in front of him, she pursed her lips and tears fell from her eyes.
Blood seeped from her fingertips.
Jiang Yuan asked, "Do you hate me?"
As Jiang Yuan spoke, the qin music slowly stopped.
Su Xin shook her head and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.
"I dare not hate, nor do I hate."
"Neither dare to hate, nor do I hate."
Jiang Yuan said, "You are quite honest!"
Then he continued, "I heard that your father is the magistrate of Qinghe County?"
Su Xin nodded, but she didn't want to say much.
Jiang Yuan looked at her white clothes and said, "Three years of mourning, your filial piety is commendable!"
"It's just what a child should do!"
She pursed her lips and said.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I heard that you only want to be a Qingguan person?"
Suddenly, she stared at Jiang Yuan with wide eyes.
Jiang Yuan's lips curled up in a smile, "Your qin playing today was good, it helped me, so I will fulfill your wish."
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan pulled the red string.
When the red string moved, the bell downstairs would ring.
They would know that someone upstairs needed them.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words.
Su Xin instantly knelt softly on the ground.
"Thank you, Young Master Jiang, for your great kindness!"
No one knew how much torment she had endured to maintain her purity until now.
Because her father committed a heinous crime, the entire family of dozens of people were exiled and beheaded.
She was also forced into prostitution, but they didn't dare to push her too far because she was the legitimate daughter of the former magistrate of Qinghe County and her father still had some connections before he died.
If it weren't for these reasons, her so-called struggle would have been in vain long ago.
But now, with Jiang Yuan's words, she knew she was safe and could keep her purity.
Jiang Yuan said calmly, "No need to thank me, this is the guqin you insisted on playing all afternoon, something you fought for yourself."
