Chapter 138.2: As Expected of Siblings

As Expected of Siblings (2)

The Elegant Haitang Residence returned to tranquility again, and Jing Wan began looking for things to do.

Gong mama naturally knew that her own miss wasn't really affected. However, she kept feeling that Jing Wan was seemingly planning something. But, because she temporarily didn't reveal the slightest hint of what she wanted to do, there weren't any outlines.

The shock in Luo Jing Bo's eyes when he saw Sun Yi Jia's makeup, rather didn't, because she turned back into a great beauty again, dyed with infatuation. It can be seen, Luo Jing Bo really didn't care all that much about her appearance. "Little sis drew it?"

Sun Yi Jia nodded with a smile.

"In the future, I'll help you draw." Luo Jing Bo said without even thinking. It can be seen this block of wood, after getting married, still enlightened quite a bit, and certain skills also imperceptibly filled up slowly. "I saw that you've been depressed these days, come, let's go out for a walk today. I think you probably won't refuse. Perfect time for this husband to also go show off, letting them see just how beautiful this young master's wife is."

Sun Yi Jia blanked, "Okay." Turns out he also wanted to take her out, just worried that she wasn't willing. In reality, he was also the same as little sister Wan, gentle and considerate. As for showing off, he had the assets worthy of showing off. There was no need to use her to fill his face.

Sun Yi Jia went to inform Luo Old Madam. This kind of thing, naturally won't be not allowed.

Afterwards, she also went and informed Zhang-shi, which further wasn't a problem.

This was the couple's first time strolling the streets together after marrying. They didn't have a destination, rather just letting the carriage driver leisurely drive the carriage along. Pushing aside the curtains, the two sat together side by side, gazing at the scenery outside, while quietly chatting. The bottom of their eyes unconsciously brimmed with a happy smile. The people outside that inadvertently saw them immediately felt this was a pair of loving young couple.

When they arrived at a relatively bustling block, the two got down from the horse carriage. Luo Jing Bo very naturally helped her down.

Afterwards, even if there were servants following behind them, and won't let anyone come too close, Luo Jing Bo still had Sun Yi Jia shielded at all times. Thus, just from their stance, they appeared particularly intimate. Sun Yi Jia was somewhat embarrassed, but was furthermore happy inside.

Luo Jing Bo just accompanied her, slowly strolling and leisurely looking around. And when he discovered that Sun Yi Jia didn't know about a lot of little playthings, he just took over the role of an omniscient and omnipotent commentator.

Sun Yi Jia was born very noble. Things that were relatively 'commoner-like', for the most part, she all never came in contact with before. In addition to not having any good friends, and for things like clothes and accessories that young ladies are all very fond of, they were also usually directly sent to the manor, thus she very rarely went out. And towards this activity, she also lacked the interest. To put it bluntly, Sun Yi Jia was actually a shut-in.

However, her frame of mind now was different, feeling it was very interesting, and feeling very happy.

When passing by a certain little stall selling masks, she reached out and put one on Luo Jing Bo's face.

The young couples in the streets weren't many, but definitely weren't considered few either. However, ones intimate like the two of them, looking at a glance, one really was unable to find a second pair. In addition to the unique makeup on Sun Yi Jia's face, they attracted quite a bit of attention.

"Mother, look, isn't that older cousin?" A pair of mother and daughter had just walked out from an accessory shop. The young girl said to the madam next to her.

TN: All

And that madam looked in the direction she pointed and fell silent for a moment, "It's her."

"Heh, in the past, never seen her smiling this contently before, could it be that the Ding Duke Manor had treated her unfairly?"

"Probably not used to brocade garments and jade meals, further liking plain congee and simple dishes."

The young girl mysteriously smiled, "Mother, meeting in the streets, one should at least go greet her, no?" She pulled the middle age madam along and headed over. "Older cousin."

Hearing the familiar voice, Sun Yi Jia subconsciously turned her head to look over, the smile on her face subconsciously fading, "Maternal aunt, younger cousin."

What they saw previously was just the side of Sun Yi Jia's face. This time, they finally saw the front. There wasn't the malevolent and terrifying scar they'd anticipated. Instead, in its place was a winding branch of plum blossoms, carrying three part charm and allure. However, because of her cold and aloof temperament, the allure and coldness melted together, letting her entire person all appear increasingly radiant and moving.

That smile couldn't help but stiffen. Originally thought that she'd ruined her greatest asset, yet unexpectedly, she'd used another method to complement, appearing even more perfect. That short lasting feeling of superiority was instantly swallowed by envy again.

Luo Jing Bo greeted them along with Sun Yi Jia, neither intimate nor estranged.

The mother and daughter pair both had their line of sight placed onto him. Luo Jing Bo's appearance was very handsome. Perhaps he was a little laid back on normal days, but when he needed to be composed, he naturally was able to hold up, his bearing and cultivation all not lacking. In addition to the glow of being the future 'teacher of the world', his attractiveness wasn't any less than Sun Yi Lin. Unknown as to what she thought of, a certain young lady's face gradually reddened as she stared at Luo Jing Bo, unconsciously dyeing with a bit a bashfulness.

How could Sun Yi Jia not know how attractive Luo Jing Bo was to others right now? However, she didn't let out an annoyed expression either. She believed his words, and since that's the case, no matter how much they drooled, it was all useless. Can see, but can't touch, and further can't obtain, angering you to death.

Sun Yi Jia spoke with the two of them, pausing in silence between every other line, but these two completely didn't have any intention of leaving. In the past, when they met, they weren't able to say more than three lines before parting ways. Never mind this younger cousin having ulterior motives, to think even maternal aunt also...............

Luo Jing Bo, from beginning to end, quietly stood next to Sun Yi Jia, slightly turned, and didn't have the intention of leaving first either. His eyes were slightly hanging, strictly abiding by the etiquette of a gentleman, and didn't give the girl across from him a single glance.

In that girl's eyes, his line of sight from beginning to end was on Sun Yi Jia the whole time. No matter how beautiful, it was still drawn on. She just didn't believe, in private, he's still able to tolerate Sun Yi Jia's face. The smile on her face grew even more flirtatious, "Older cousin-in-law, I especially like gongbi painting. Can I ask for a private favor, and request a painting from you?"

Luo Jing Bo finally spared her a proper glance, however that gaze was rather strange, "There's difference between men and women."

With just one line, the other party's smile froze onto the face.

Sun Yi Jia nearly laughed out loud. Really was very blunt, not at all tactful. As expected, he and little sister Wan were siblings.

"Jing Bo must have misunderstood. It's this girl's grandfather that likes it."

"Oh." Luo Jing Bo dryly responded.

The middle age madam was quite angered, yet it wasn't appropriate for her to say anything.

"I heard maternal aunt fell ill, and still haven't had the time to personally go visit her, how is maternal aunt recently?"

Sun Yi Jia blanked. This matter, she didn't know. The Ding Duke Manor simply didn't send anyone to inform her.

"Oh, could it be that older cousin didn't go back to visit? Just now, seeing older cousin that happy, one even thought that maternal aunt was actually fine." When she looked to Sun Yi Jia again, there was another kind of meaning in her eyes. Afterwards, she carefully glanced at Luo Jing Bo.

This kind of low level provocation, for Luo Jing Bo, wasn't even considered drizzles. "Yi Jia has been extremely worried, that's why I brought her out for a stroll." Regardless of what she was actually worried about. "So we won't be bothering maternal aunt and younger cousin anymore." He reached out and lightly embraced Sun Yi Jia's waist, heading to one side, "Didn't you say just now that you wanted to buy some things back?"

"En." Sun Yi Jia answered.

The two quietly chatted as they gradually walked further and further away. Sun Yi Jia's servants rather directly gave the mother and daughter pair a disdaining look.

"This matter should be within your fifth brother's consideration, don't take it to heart. Presumably, it isn't very serious either. However, since you now know, tomorrow I'll accompany you back for a visit. You just need to remember, you're now a part of the Luo family."

"Thank you, Jing Bo."

"You and I are husband and wife, a whole to begin with, no need for words of thanks."

Although there was this incident, it didn't have that great of an impact either, so the two continued strolling.

Fabric store, jewelry store, rouge and powder store, and so on places, Luo Jing Bo all very patiently accompanied her, not the least bit annoyed. And when she asked him something, he would also patiently give his opinion. Although there might be differences in taste, this didn't really hinder anything.

When the two returned to the Luo Manor hand in hand, they heard there were four matchmakers that visited, coming to propose marriage to Jing Wan.

They just treated it as the situation improving, but after learning the four family's situation, the couple both trembled in anger. A shu son, an idiot, a destitute household, and even one that dared to shamelessly boast wanting to take Jing Wan as a concubine.

Those words were even said rather well, but the meaning inside and out was just with Luo third miss's current reputation, having someone willing to marry her was already not bad, and moreover, she even cursed husbands, so even if just taking her as a concubine, that was still risking the dangers.

Luo Old Madam let someone have them beaten out, and that beating for real.

"Who is it, who is this malicious, actually wanting to ruin little sister Wan!" Sun Yi Jia angry said.

Exactly, if not someone deliberately doing this, would there be this many toads visiting at the same time?
