"Wanwan, this is the third prince of the Dongchen Kingdom. He will live here from now on and practice martial arts with you and Rong Sui. You should get along well with him and don't let your temper run wild again."
Lin Wanwan listened to Shen Qingqiu's sincere instructions and nodded obediently, "I know." Then she pinched Shen Qingqiu's sleeve and shook it gently, and said coquettishly to him, "Uncle, can I take him to play now? "
Shen Qingqiu smiled and patted her hand, then turned to ask the boy, "I wonder what the third prince wants?"
"City Master Shen, you're welcome. Since I have learned martial arts with you, you are my master. There is no need to treat me like a prince in the future. Just call me Su Jin." The boy stood up and greeted Shen Qingqiu respectfully. After bowing, he added, "Since Miss Lin invites you so kindly, Su Jin would rather be respectful than obey."
At such a young age, he does not have the childishness that should be expected at this age. He behaves dignifiedly, has a calm attitude, and speaks in a measured but polite manner. If he is carefully cultivated, he may be a good seedling.
Shen Qingqiu stroked his beard with satisfaction, with a look of approval in his eyes.
The main palace of Beiluo Shimen City was very large. Lin Wanwan led the boy around and explained to him what the courtyard was for and what the scenery was in that garden. So the two of them took a group of maids. The boy walked around the city lord's mansion for a full circle before finally stopping and resting in a courtyard.
She dismissed the maid and servant, and said to the boy with a smile: "Your name is Su Jin? How about I call you A Jin from now on?"
Su Jin frowned, obviously not very satisfied. He said with a straight face, "I'm older than you, you should have a brother."
Lin Wanwan curled her lips and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Wang Shu is older than me, and I didn't call him brother."
Su Jin raised her eyebrows, with a hint of curiosity on her face, "Who is Wangshu?"
"I'll take you to see him." Lin Wanwan smiled at him, thought for a while, then frowned and muttered, "But he should still be practicing swordsmanship now."
Su Jin stared at the colorful expressions on her face and felt funny in his heart. He had never seen a person change his face so quickly.
He asked without changing his expression: "Didn't you say you wanted to take me to play?"
Lin Wanwan blinked and tilted her head to look at him, a little surprised in her heart. She had just walked for so long and her legs were heavy, but he didn't feel tired?
Her watery eyes rolled around, and she thought to herself, forget it, this little old-fashioned guy doesn't seem to be easy to get along with. Since she said she would take him to play today, she couldn't break her promise and let him look down upon her.
She was heartbroken and stood up from the stone bench with her heavy legs. She said to him as if she was risking her life to accompany the gentleman, "Okay then, let's go pick the fruits from the trees first. There are a lot of fruits in the backyard. Very sweet.”
Su Jin frowned, glanced at the hem of her skirt lightly, and said sternly: "It's not elegant to climb a tree."
When Lin Wanwan heard this, she suddenly felt a headache. She forgot that he was a little old-fashioned and naturally couldn't do things like climbing trees. So she rubbed her head and tried to think about what he thought was "elegant", and something suddenly occurred to her. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Then let's go to the river to catch crabs. There are a lot of crabs this season. They are fat, big and delicious."
When she thought of those big crabs, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Her eyes were shining as she spoke, as if stars were reflected in her clear eyes.
Su Jin was stunned for a moment, feeling that her appearance was very funny, like a kitten that was thinking about eating fish. The corners of her mouth had just curved a little, and then something suddenly occurred to her, and her brows that had soothed tightened again.
He pointed to her shoes and said sternly: "You must take off your shoes and socks when you go to the river. As a woman, how do you behave? Besides, I am allergic to crabs."
Hearing this, Lin Wanwan bit her lip, with a hint of impatience on her face. She clenched her fists slightly, glanced at him resentfully, and curled her lips and said, "Then let's go play on the swing. There are plants over there." There are so many maple trees, so beautiful.”
"You pushed me?" Su Jin's eyes showed a hint of interest.
"There's only one swing. How about we sit together and let others push it?" Lin Wanwan rarely saw that he was interested, so she happily suggested, does this little old-fashioned person have any objections now?
She didn't expect that what she heard instead of Su Jin's voice of approval was a cold rebuke.
"No, men and women cannot be intimate!"
At this time, Lin Wanwan was completely angry. She gritted her teeth and turned her head away with disdain, "Hey, you old-fashioned guy."
"Who are you calling a little old-fashioned?" Su Jin's face suddenly turned cold, and even her beautiful peach blossom eyes were covered with a layer of darkness. There seemed to be a hint of sullenness in her cold eyes.
Lin Wanwan was not one to be frightened. Seeing his cold expression, she was not afraid at all. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her chin and rolled her eyes at him, and said angrily: "You, since I saw you , you just keep a straight face, you are obviously only ten years old, and you have to speak like my uncle, what is it if you are not a little old-fashioned?"
"you!"
Su Jin clenched her fists, her fair and jade face turned red with anger, and even the veins on her forehead were clearly visible. He stared at her coldly for a moment, then snorted and walked away.
Lin Wanwan made a face at his back, silently called "Old-Father", and then turned around with a cold snort.
In the evening, Lin Wanwan found Rong Sui who had just finished sword practice, and told him all about the unpleasantness she had with Su Jin today.
Rong Sui looked at her with a gentle smile as she spoke with all her teeth and claws. After listening, he softly uttered two words from his beautiful lips, "Nonsense."
Lin Wanwan pursed her lips and looked at him aggrievedly. Her bright starry eyes blinked, and her long curly eyelashes trembled slightly, like a lifelike butterfly.
He sighed helplessly, and tried to reason with her in a way that was half pampering and half accommodating. "He is also the prince of a country after all. He has grown up under the virtuous and virtuous queen, so he must pay attention to etiquette and morality in everything. Besides, in the future we have to Let’s practice martial arts together. If you don’t look up and look down, if City Master Shen finds out about the trouble you made today, you will be punished again.”
Lin Wanwan curled her lips unhappily, getting angry thinking of Su Jin's cold demeanor today, "Huh, am I wrong? He is a little old-fashioned. Isn't Wang Shu also a prince? How can he be like him! "
Rong Sui was stunned for a moment, and a look of loneliness flashed across his narrow phoenix eyes. He twitched the corners of his lips in a self-deprecating manner, lowering his eyes and said: "What kind of prince am I? I'm just an outcast."
Lin Wanwan keenly caught the fleeting look in his eyes, and knew that her unscrupulous words had touched his sore spot. She softened her voice and looked at him with some guilt, "Wangshu, I..."
Rong Sui smiled gently at her and comforted her: "Silly girl, I'm fine. I've gotten used to it over the years. I'll accompany you to apologize to the third prince tomorrow."
