The Little Madam of Marquis Family in Time Travel - Chapter 71
Every day after that, Song Sijun and Shen Yinghan entered a learning stage.
Shen Yinghan stayed at home reading the books Lin Changxu had given him, while Song Sijun would visit Hua Yingyue to learn about the theory of medicinal materials when he had time.
The days were peaceful and stable.
Since Shen Yinghan recovered from his last illness, although his health still wasn’t great, he wasn’t getting sick anymore.
In addition to studying, Song Sijun would accompany Shen Yinghan for a walk every day after dinner and exercise with him.
However, Shen Yinghan’s frailty had been a problem for many years. He would lose energy after walking a few steps, so Song Sijun got him a crutch. Although it made him look like a little old man, it could slightly reduce his burden.
Song Sijun knew that rehabilitation should not be rushed.
As winter turned to spring, wildflowers sprouted in the corners, and the weather became much warmer.
Song Sijun and Shen Yinghan walked side by side in the alley. Occasionally, they looked up at the sunset above their heads and felt as if they were growing old together. At that moment, they experienced a feeling of carefree years.
When Shen Yinghan got tired from walking, the two of them sat by the river to rest. Song Sijun pulled out a few blades of grass and started making grasshoppers.
Shen Yinghan watched from the side and thought it was magical, so he asked Song Sijun to teach him.
Just as Song Sijun was teaching Shen Yinghan to weave grasshoppers, a carriage stopped behind them. Next to the carriage hung a red flag in the shape of a hammer. “Young Master Song? It’s really you!”
Song Sijun turned around and recognized the person from the library but couldn’t remember the name at the moment.
Fortunately, the other person introduced himself again in an accommodating manner. “I am Jiang Yunhuai. You helped me find books last time.”
Finally, Song Sijun remembered the person and nodded politely to say hello. “What a coincidence.”
Jiang Yunhuai smiled and then his eyes fell on Shen Yinghan next to Song Sijun.
Seeing this, Song Sijun hurriedly introduced the two of them. “This is my husband, Shen Yinghan. This is Jiang Yunhuai, the friend I met in the library last time.”
Shen Yinghan looked at the other person but did not take the initiative to greet him. As the nephew of the emperor in the Daqing Kingdom, he was always greeted by others, so he wasn’t trying to be rude, but he simply didn’t know how to interact with others like an ordinary person.
Fortunately, Jiang Yunhuai was outgoing and didn’t mind. He just smiled at Shen Yinghan and said to Song Sijun, “What are you doing?”
Song Sijun replied, “I’m accompanying him for a walk.”
Jiang Yunhuai looked at Shen Yinghan again, seeing that his face looked a little pale. He nodded in understanding and then said, “I’m helping my teacher deliver goods, I just wanted to say hello when I saw you here.”
Song Sijun nodded.
Jiang Yunhuai added, “Last time, my senior brother offended you, and I have always felt sorry about that. I would like to treat you two to dinner tomorrow to apologize on behalf of my senior brother.”
Shen Yinghan looked at Song Sijun. Although he didn’t speak, his eyes seemed to ask Song Sijun whether he was bullied by others.
Song Sijun quickly shook his head and said to Shen Yinghan, “It was just a small misunderstanding.” Then he told Jiang Yunhuai, “You don’t have to worry about it. I don’t take it to heart at all.”
Jiang Yunhuai said, “That’s good, but I still want to treat you to make amends and to make friends.”
Song Sijun thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have more friends, and it would also give Shen Yinghan, an introvert, more opportunities to communicate with others, so he agreed. Then Jiang Yunhuai asked Song Sijun for his address and made an appointment to pick them up for dinner the next day.
After Jiang Yunhuai left, Shen Yinghan asked, “What happened?”
Song Sijun didn’t dare to say that he was molested, so he simply said, “Jiang Yunhuai has a senior brother, and I don’t seem to get along well with him. That day, when I was with Jiang Yunhuai, his senior brother saw me and said some rude words to me.”
Shen Yinghan frowned in displeasure.
Song Sijun patted him on the back and said, “I talked back to him and didn’t suffer any loss.”
Shen Yinghan nodded and warned, “You have to tell me about this kind of thing in the future.”
Seeing the other party protecting him like this, Song Sijun felt a little happy. He nodded with a smile and then took Shen Yinghan home.
.
The next morning, Lin Changxu came over to check on Shen Yinghan’s studies. He also held a wooden box in his hand. Upon entering the door, he handed it directly to Song Sijun.
Lin Changxu said, “This is for you.”
Song Sijun opened the box and found glass experimental equipment inside, all made according to the shape he had drawn previously.
Lin Changxu explained, “Shen Huaqing asked me to find someone to make this for you.”
Shen Yinghan heard this in the room and walked out on crutches, explaining, “The craftsmen I found have some flaws in their work, so I asked my uncle for help.”
Lin Changxu nodded, “I asked the people from Qiao Workshop to make this. It’s all good. You can use it.”
Song Sijun carefully examined the equipment in the box. The craftsmanship was indeed exquisite, and even modern experimental equipment would be hard-pressed to find the difference.
After closing the lid, he noticed a hammer symbol on it, the same as the one on Jiang Yunhuai’s carriage.
Qiao Workshop—Song Sijun remembered that Jiang Yunhuai’s senior brother seemed to be the young master of Qiao Workshop.
At this time, Lin Changxu looked at Shen Yinghan, seeing him standing and walking. “Not bad; you can stand up and walk a few steps now.” As he spoke, he walked to Shen Yinghan, reached out, and grabbed Shen Yinghan’s wrist. “Let me test your strength.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yinghan tried hard to break free from the other party’s grip, but his efforts were in vain.
Lin Changxu let go of Shen Yinghan and said, “It’s still far off.”
Shen Yinghan smiled bitterly. “After all, my body isn’t as strong as that of ordinary people.”
Lin Changxu saw that Shen Yinghan looked somewhat sad and offered some comfort unintentionally. “If you’re not strong, you can be smart. After all, people aren’t perfect. The policy you proposed last time was good, but there are still some flaws in local management.”
After the two went into the room, Lin Changxu began explaining the issues to Shen Yinghan one by one.
