Chapter 58 - Shi Jing (Nuan) (2/2)

The Prince smirk.

”Fine anyway I need to go home now. You know that after a month your father and I will be going to the western border to properly inspect.” Lou Xi said.

Sheri reassuringly nodded while reading attentively the book.

”Sigh, I guess I better go. Jing, I'll see you after 15 days.” Lou Xi said while looking at the serious face of Sheri.

Sheri was focused that when she has properly finished the 4 book She sighs. She was pondering. The ancient china military strategy was like the foundations of the modern military. It's a good strategy for fighting in wars.

When she looked around, she saw candles are already melting and the light outside is already dark. She forgot everything. Sheri was fascinated with the way they do the lives of the ancient. She stands up and stretches. An old servant was waiting outside.

Sheri was a bit startled when someone is at the door.

”Master, are you done? Should I bring the food to your room?”The Old servant said.

”No need. Go back to your quarter. I will go back to my courtyard and sleep. You don't have to accompany me.”Sheri said. She's still full from their lunch.

She is a modern soul and no matter what slavery is a big no in Sheri's vocabulary besides she can do an out of character. The old woman supposed to gently persuade her but Sheri just shook her heads and went toward her room.

She's very fascinated about this ancient lifestyle. She reads about these kinds of places, but typically experiencing in one hand is something. Like a notable example about the toilet. Sheri stood there for almost 5 min fascinated and looking at it. It's a wooden bucket. She had so many modern ideas that she sincerely wanted to implement in her private room.

The next morning Sheri wanted to go out and explore the market. She went and asked her mother to join her. In which the mother was delighted.

The general had someone to escort them.

Sheri dressed up in a dark blue gown. She put her hair in a bun as what the male does and waits for her mother at the carriage. When her mother appears. Sheri looked at the owner's body mother. She is really beautiful. No wonder the body she's in is also beautiful if she will dress up as a girl. Sheri snaps from her thoughts.

”Nuan, what are you thinking?” her mother said.

”About yesterday's commotion. Who is that woman? Sheri asked.

Her mother sighs gently.

”That was the legitimate wife of your grandfather. Your grandfather is sick, and they need someone to help them.” her mother said.

”Oh,” Sheri said.

The story indeed tells that after the emperor knows the story of the general the father of the general was demoted. His post was taken of him leaving them like a peasant. All their properties were sold out and the children also had a big blow. They keep on coming once every month to beg for money toward the general. The general doesn't want to give, but the wife is the one who always gives. The general knows about it but didn't speak due to he knows his wife is sympathetic.

Sheri makes sure to act like a gentleman toward her mother. She jumped first and gives a hand toward her mom. Her mom was laughing with the action of Sheri.

Her mother wished Shi Jing would one day dress up as a woman. On the other side, Sheri was so happy she was wearing a man's cloth. She can move freely. Plus she will not feel like an object that can be traded to other's families to gain power, etc.

When they arrived at the capital market everybody looked at the elegant carriage that just came. They all know the iconic symbol of the carriage is from the great general. They all naturally gathered at the side and see who will go down. And when the handsome young teenage came out some young ladies were squeaking with a giggle. When Sheri helps her mother to come out everyone stood still. Once in a while, they see the beautiful wife of the general. Her beauty is well known to all. Sheri didn't bother about the people who are looking at them.

She was more interested in everything she sees. She goes instantly to the stall and keeps on looking and tasting everything. Her mother was amused. After 2 hours of walking all over the place. Sheri and her so-called mother went to a popular tea house.
