Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 106 Sneaking onto the Roof

Li Ziyan bowed his head slightly, leaned close to Zhao Junning's ear, and whispered softly, "Junning, do you know what my nickname is?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Junning raised her head, stared at Li Ziyan, a hint of curiosity appeared on her face, and asked, "What is the nickname?" Since they got married, only their parents knew their nicknames. Even after Zhao Junning was reborn and lived a new life, she still knew nothing about it.

Li Ziyan smiled lightly and replied slowly: "My name is Zhiyun, which was given to me by my uncle. He hoped that I could grow up to be a person with quick wit and outstanding literary talent. Unfortunately...it seems that it has not gone as he wished." There was a hint of self-mockery and emotion in his words.

Zhao Junning whispered, "Zhiyun..." She smiled and stared at Li Ziyan, her eyes full of tenderness. Then, she smiled and said, "My nickname is Wan, but now it seems that it doesn't suit me now."

Li Ziyan silently recited Zhao Junning's small characters, and couldn't help but smile. He praised: "The character Wan is very good, it sounds pleasant and moving. My dear Wanwan, thank you for telling me this. From now on, you don't have to carry those past memories alone. This is the beginning of your new life." His voice was low and warm, like a spring breeze blowing through Zhao Junning's heart.

Then Zhao Junning nodded gently, and fireworks rose, lighting up the entire city. Qu He walked over and said, "Taizhou is the center of Wei, and Ningdu City is the most prosperous city besides Yangzhou Bianjing, Jizhou Pingliang, Liangzhou Lucheng, Youzhou Yancheng, Yizhou Yangdu City. Here are the most businessmen who are good at doing business, the most teachers, and the official career that scholars look forward to.

If you go to Ningdu City, you don't need to ask for a career, and you will have it. Standing on the highest bridge and watching the fireworks with the one you love means you will love each other for the rest of your life." Yuan Xinghui clapped her hands after hearing this: "I like what you said. Just hearing the name of this city makes me feel good." Li Ziyan nodded and held Zhao Junning's hand but never let go, "I agree with what Mr. Qu said."

After the twilight hour on the second day, Zhao Junning said to Li Ziyan, "I'm going to talk to Mr. Qu about something. Do you want to go?" Li Ziyan wanted to show that he was magnanimous and not jealous, so he raised his voice and said, "No, just come back early."

Zhao Junning nodded: "Oh, OK." After Zhao Junning left, Li Ziyan followed and crawled to the door to watch Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning and Fuling Gancao came to the door of Qu He's guest room and knocked on the door. Qu He opened the door and saw Zhao Junning: "Boss Zhao?"

Zhao Junning bowed and said, "Mr. Qu, are you going to rest?" Qu He shook his head, "Boss Zhao, please come in." After the three of them entered the room, Zhao Junning and Qu He sat down. Qu He asked, "What do you want to see me for, Boss Zhao?" Zhao Junning smiled and said, "I want to remind Mr. Qu of something."

Qu He was puzzled, Zhao Junning continued, "Master Qu, your trip north must be arranged by the head of the Qu family. You are the future heir of the Qu family, so you will travel across the entire Wei Dynasty this time." Qu He did not deny it, Zhao Junning continued, "Master Qu, have you ever wondered why people were chasing you in Yizhou?"

Qu He frowned, "Why?" Zhao Junning chuckled, "When I first met you, Mr. Qu, you said that you two had different ideals and could not work together, but have you ever thought that people will always seek revenge? Lu Shengming and Lu Wu have the same surname, Lu. The only person Mr. Lu trusted when he went out this time was the little follower beside you. Didn't you doubt the rest?"

Qu He was lost in thought. A tile on the roof was lifted up. Zhou Aoyang said to Li Ziyan: "If you want to listen, just go in. Why do you have to climb on the roof to listen and drag me along? What the hell are you?" Li Ziyan made a hushing gesture: "Don't talk. Don't let anyone find out."

Zhou Aoyang rolled his eyes. Li Ziyan stared at Zhao Junning and Qu He in the house. Zhou Aoyang also looked at them. "Do you think Qu He will listen to Zhao Junning?" Li Ziyan said softly, "Maybe. After all, he was arrested and imprisoned in Yizhou for so long." Suddenly, a cat climbed up from the roof. Li Ziyan and Zhou Aoyang saw it and said, "Shh, don't scare it."

Zhou Aoyang stood up gently, and then he slipped and fell down with Li Ziyan. Zhao Junning and Qu He in the room heard the noise and looked at the roof. They opened the door and saw Li Ziyan and Zhou Aoyang falling down in a mess. Li Ziyan tried to cover his face from being bruised by the tiles. Zhao Junning was also shocked: "My dear, Zhou Aoyang?"

Li Ziyan smiled bitterly: "Jun Ning, isn't this a coincidence? It turns out that you are the ones in this room!" Zhou Aoyang also smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, isn't this a coincidence?" Qu He said with a little heartache: "Master Li, Brother Zhou, why did you two fall off the roof?"

Li Ziyan covered his face and thought about it. The cat happened to be next to them. Li Ziyan picked up the cat and said, "Zhou Aoyang and I saw the kitten on the roof. We were afraid it would fall down, so we wanted to go up and pick it up, but we didn't expect the tiles to be too slippery."

Zhou Aoyang echoed: "Yes, yes, save the cat." The cat seemed to be unable to bear the two people's argument, and jumped out of Li Ziyan's arms, wagging its tail and butt and walked away. Zhao Junning knew why Li Ziyan was on the roof, so he walked forward to help Li Ziyan up. Zhou Aoyang also climbed up. Qu He asked with concern: "Master Li, are you really okay? You look like this."

Li Ziyan stepped back and said politely, "It's okay, it's really okay." Zhao Junning smiled and said to Qu He, "Mr. Qu, Junning has said everything you wanted to say today. I will go back to the room with my husband and say goodbye."

Qu He nodded. After the five people left, Zhao Junning walked to the front of the house and pulled Li Ziyan into the house. Zhou Aoyang looked at Zhao Junning and closed the door. "Li Ziyan won't be beaten, right?"

Mo Yu said, "No way. My young mistress loves my son very much. How could she hit him?" Zhou Aoyang shrugged. Li Ziyan sat down in the room. Zhao Junning applied medicine to Li Ziyan. Li Ziyan explained, "Wife, I'm really fine. We are going to save the cat."

After Zhao Junning applied the medicine, she said, "If a cat can get up there, it can get down there too. My dear, you know that, right?" Li Ziyan smiled awkwardly. Zhao Junning pouted her chin and said, "My dear, you are so generous. When I went to look for Mr. Qu, didn't I ask you if you were going? Didn't you say you wouldn't go? Why did you sneak up to the roof and bring Zhou Aoyang with you?" Li Ziyan said with a little grievance, "I, I didn't do that."

Then she added to her grievance: "I'm already injured and you don't care about me, and you even lecture me, you have no conscience." Zhao Junning sneered: "My dear, you really have a childish temper. You were hurt and I applied medicine on you, but it still hurts, so I can't do anything. How about I blow on it for you?" Then she moved closer to Li Ziyan and said, "Huff, huh, huh, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, I'll let Fuling use the tile that hit you to beat you up so you can vent your anger."

Li Ziyan blinked his eyes, Zhao Junning asked: "Does it still hurt?" Li Ziyan nodded: "It still hurts." Zhao Junning was about to continue blowing, but Li Ziyan stopped him: "How about you try another way?" Zhao Junning didn't understand, Li Ziyan leaned closer and said: "You... kiss me and it won't hurt anymore."

Zhao Junning shyly pushed Li Ziyan away: "You are shameless, a kiss will make it better." Li Ziyan nodded repeatedly. Zhao Junning was helpless under Li Ziyan's gaze and leaned in to kiss him. Li Ziyan was also satisfied and smiled and said: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

The next day, Zhao Junning and Li Ziyan walked to the carriage. Zhao Junning bowed and said, "Mr. Qu, we will say goodbye now and see you later."

Qu He returned the greeting: "See you later." Li Ziyan helped Zhao Junning get on the carriage and bowed to Qu He: "Mr. Qu, see you later. I was a little prejudiced against you when I first saw you the other day. I was petty. After spending time with you yesterday, I suddenly felt that it would be nice to make friends with Mr. Qu."

Qu He also smiled and returned the greeting, "It is normal for Lord Li to have prejudice against me. After all, anyone would have misunderstood me when I was talking to Boss Zhao that day. Lord Li did not draw his sword, which shows how broad-minded he is. Qu is also very happy to be friends with Lord Li. I wish Lord Li a smooth career, Boss Zhao a prosperous business, and I wish you two a happy and loving life." Zhao Junning lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the two. Li Ziyan said happily, "Of course Junning and I will meet. Thank you for your blessing, Master Qu."

"We'll meet again if we're lucky enough," Qu He continued.

As the carriage was moving, Zhao Junning looked at Li Ziyan from inside the carriage: "You are smiling so happily." Li Ziyan asked with an expression that asked: "Madam, was I generous just now, and am I still as petty as the day before?"

Zhao Junning poked Li Ziyan's head: "Just like a child."

Yuan Xinghui and Zhou Aoyang coughed lightly, and Zhou Aoyang said speechlessly: "You two should stop now, there are still people in this carriage."

Fuling and Gancao covered their mouths and laughed secretly, while Li Ziyan said with a tone and expression that he deserved a beating: "Why don't you let me be intimate with my wife when you don't have a wife? Jealous, if you are jealous, go get a wife!"

Zhou Aoyang clenched his fists: "Li Ziyan, you are awesome." Li Ziyan raised his eyebrows at Zhou Aoyang, and Zhou Aoyang simply closed his eyes to avoid seeing it.
