Chapter 20 (1/2)
Su Feng Nuan hid a smile, his face this red, seems those rumors of flocks chasing after him were true.
The man stopped coughing and looked at Su Feng Nuan and asked, “What about the Su Manor’s Young Lady? Is there a verse to describe her?”
Su Feng Nuan missed a beat.
The man said warmly, “Since the urban book is titled ‘Hong Yan Zhuan1’ and the Su Manor’s Young Lady’s beauty is rumored to be able to overrun the city, it should also have her records.”
Su Feng Nuan shook her head calmly, “No.”
“No?” The man raised an eyebrow. “It shouldn’t not have.”
SU Feng Nuan shook her head with certainty, “It really doesn’t, if Gong-zi does not believe it, if there’s opportunity in the future, can go through ‘Hong Yan Zhuan’, it can be found in most of the black market bookstores.2.”
The man wondered, “Why is there no comments about the Su Manor’s Young Lady?”
Su Feng Nun also made a puzzle expression, “Maybe the Su Manor’s Young Lady is not famous? A girl growing up in the countryside, even if a beauty to some degree is still not enough. Many aristocratic ladies are also not mentioned in the book. Compared to them, what type of onion or green is the Su Manor’s Young Lady?”
The man was speechless for a moment and said, “The Su Manor’s Young Lady can’t be considered unknown, General Su is well-known for his great reputation, and so the Su Mansion’s Young Lady is also regarded by the world. She is not a simple green onion that Gu-niang3 talks of, also should be considered an aristocratic lady.”
Su Feng Nuan scorned, “What kind of aristocratic lady is she? Fooling around with swords and knives, just a wild girl that goes into the rivers to catch fishes. Recently, rumors in the Imperial City have spread. Being improper in front of the Empress Dowager, no etiquettes. A aristocratic lady like that, isn’t that a laughing stock? “
The man looked at her, “Gu-niang4 knows the Su Manor’s Young Lady?”
Su Feng Nuan nodded, “Of course I know.”
The man watched her, taking a detailed glance, “Lately heard that the Su Manor’s Young Lady is learning etiquettes from Liu Mo-Mo, is Gu-niang aware of that?”
Su Feng Nuan stared at him, “Gong-zi purposely asked about the Su Manor’s Young Lady appraisal in the ‘Hong Yan Zhuan,’ and now ask me about her, do you have wishful thinking about her?”
The man started coughing again.
Su Feng Nuan observed him, “Do you have a coughing condition?”
The man shook his head, “No.”
Su Feng Nuan thought it strange, “Then why do you keep coughing?”
The man became speechless again, sighing, “Gu-niang5‘s words are very astonishing, leaving me awestricken. Why do you keep on thinking I have improper thoughts towards others? Do I look so much like a pervert?”
Su Feng Nuan broke out in laughter, saying in a serious tone, “My mother told me that besides my father, my brothers, if other guys come close and try to make talks with me, they either have wishful thinking or have bad intentions.”
The man rubbed between his eyebrows, saying helplessly, “I am only making casual talks with you. How about it, I will not talk anymore, Gu-niang6 can quickly lead the way, it will be dark soon.”
Su Feng Nuan nodded.
The two person stopped talking, the mountainous forest was very quiet, only able to hear the sounds of foot stepping over plants and scrubs. After an hour, the sky started turning dark.
Su Feng Nuan stopped in her track, not taking any steps forward.
The man asked, “What is it?”
Su Feng Nuan glanced at him, “I’m hungry.”
Helpless, the guy said, “This is the wild, where would there be something to eat, if we get out sooner….”
Before he finished, Su Feng Nuan’s ribbon from inside her sleeves sprang out, and wrapped around a wild chicken.
The little fox in her arms started excitedly making noises.
Su Feng Nuan with a motion of her hand retracted the ribbon, the wild chicken also was dragged to her hands. The little fox immediately opened it’s mouth.
Su Feng Nuan slapped a hand at it’s little head and then let her hand loose letting it go. Looking down from a high position and saying to it, “This pheasant7 is mine’s.”
The little fox immediately looked at her with complaint in its eyes, it’s meaning was what you say don’t count.
Su Feng Nuan watched its little figure, making compromise, “How about this, after I roast it, I will share half with you. If you follow me in the future, no more raw food, only can eat cooked food.”
The little fox was so happy it jumped up twice, indicating it agreed.
The man looked at her, “Gu-niang8 is going to roast the pheasant to eat?”
