Chapter 41 Part 1 - Convince (1/2)

In Fang Fei Garden, Jiang Jing Rui sputtered to no avail. He was also unable to change Jiang Li’s idea. In the end, he had no other alternative but to open his mouth and said: “I’ve said what I should say. Since you insist on doing this, I have nothing else to say. You want to go to eldest uncle, then go. If it doesn’t work out, let your servant girl come and tell me. We will discuss going to grandmother.”

He being able to say all this, from Jiang Jing Rui’s standpoint, was already extremely benevolent.

Jiang Li spoke: “Many thanks.”

Jiang Jing Rui shook his head. Jiang Li mulled for a while then looked at him and asked: “I want to ask you a question.”

“What is it?”

“How are your studies going?”

Hearing Jiang Li’s question was about this, Jiang Jing Rui unexpectedly blushed. Slapping the table and standing up he shouted loudly: “Jiang Li, you shouldn’t bully too much! You made fun of me, I haven’t teased you yet! Just do what you like to do, this young master won’t be concerned anymore!” Done speaking, he kicked the stool furiously and walked out.

Tong’er’s lips twitched: “This second young master looked like he was jabbed in his sore spot; rushing at the young lady with so much anger?”

Jiang Li also didn’t expect Jiang Jing Rui to reject studying this much. After all, the Jiang family could be considered as a clear stream of literary officials. Jiang Li still thought that everyone here were all gifted scholars and talented girls. However, Jiang Jing Rui displaying such look of shame made Jiang Li have a kind of amiable feeling. That was because Xue Zhao was also like this.

Xue Huaiyuan only had a pair of daughter and son. As it happened, since young Xue Zhao liked wielding blades and playing with swords. It was not likely for Xue Huaiyuan to deliberately let Xue Zhao choose this road. Xue Zhao was very interested in military study but had a headache dealing with reading books. Everytime Xue Huaiyuan was about to check his assignments, Xue Zhao always exhausted his thought to come up with ways to slip away.

Since young, didn’t know how many times Jiang Li had covered for Xue Zhao.
