Chapter 134 - Two Rank Promotion In Succession (3)



Chapter 134 : Two Rank Promotion In Succession (3)

The sky was full of stars, like a piece of broken gold sprinkled on a dark blue cloth, glittering and shining.

Yuxi rubbed her stomach as she walked, “I’m very full today.” Even though she said she was full, she was actually eighty percent full. She usually ate until she was sixty to seventy percent full.

Zisu said discontentedly, “I always reminded Miss to control yourself, but you always wouldn’t listen. Now, how can you sleep at night after eating so much?”

Yuxi smiled. Although there was no meat today, but, the cook’s cooking was so good that she couldn’t help but to eat some more. “No harm. Wait until we’re back, I’ll do wuqinxi¹Five-Animal Exercise (imitating the movements of tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird) for a while, I’ll assure you by that time, I won’t feel too full anymore.” Living in the master courtyard was like having one’s hands being tied²helpless and one’s legs being bound, even practicing wuqinxi¹Five-Animal Exercise (imitating the movements of tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird) was an inconvenience.

The two of them spoke for a little while, but Zijin kept on being silent. Yuxi was puzzled, “Zijin, what’s wrong with you? What’s on your mind?”

Zijin looked up at Yuxi and said, “Miss, I want to learn martial arts from Master Yang.” She had just heard in the main courtyard that Han Jianye had killed over a hundred rebels by himself that night. She was just thinking that if she was as powerful as the Second Master, her Miss wouldn’t have been frightened that night, and it was because of this thought that sprouted her wish to learn martial arts from Master Yang. TNᵀᴺYour Miss is actually strong…..mentally…..she only doesn’t know any martial arts. So, just give her sword and she will be okay.

Yuxi had such an idea before, but the facts told her that this road was not accessible. “Master Yang does not accept female apprentices.” To put it bluntly, men looked down on women, and would not accept a female apprentice. Even if Master Yang knew that Zijin was born with great strength, he would only say that it was a pity, and still wouldn’t want to accept Zijin as an apprentice.

Zijin responded, “Miss, I don’t want Master Yang to accept me as an apprentice. I just want him to give me some advice. When I learn martial arts well, no one can bully Missl again.” This noob translation was translated by a noob translator きつね. Please read this chapter at xin-shou.blogspot.com.

Yuxi also wanted Zijin to learn martial arts from Master Yang. Unfortunately, Master Yang wouldn’t accept it, so there was no other way. “Don’t think about learning martial arts from Master Yang. If you feel that your knowledge and skills aren’t yet refined, wait for a few days until everything in the residence settles, then you can continue your learning from Deng Shi.”

Zijin lowered her head and didn’t say anything.

Yuxi knew that Zijin was sad, but there was nothing she could do about it. Master Yang wasn’t Deng Shi, who could be persuaded with commission.

Originally, Yuxi was in a good mood, but because of Zijin’s words, she became depressed. This world was too harsh on women. It was really too hard for a woman to do a good job.

When Qiu Shi returned to the courtyard after finishing her work, she saw that the light in Yuxi’s room was still on. She didn’t go directly there, but changed her clothes before going over.

When Qiu Shi saw Yuxi still leaning against the head of the bed reading a book, she walked over to take the book from Yuxi’s hand and chided, “What time is it and you still reading? Hurry up and go to bed.”

Yuxi chuckled lightly, “I slept too much during the day and now I can’t sleep. I’ve got nothing else to do, so I’m just reading to pass the time.”

Qiu Shi put down the book in her hand on the bedside table and said, “You, this child, really don’t have a moment to spare!” The other young ladies spend all their time on clothes and jewellery, but Yuxi studied either pharmacology or embroidery, and then wouldn’t stop all day long.

Yuxi gathered her quilt and said, “Eldest Aunt, I want to move out in two days. Although the master courtyard is good, I have too many maids and old women servants that I don’t have any room to put them.” When children grew up, they had to move out. First, they could cultivate their independent ability. Second, they had many people serving them that there was not enough room in the courtyard.

Although Qiu Shi was reluctant, she knew it was impossible to keep Yuxi by her side all the time. After listening to Yuxi’s words, she smiled and said, “I have ordered someone to clean the Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House, and it should be ready in a couple of days. When the time comes, you will move there.”

Yuxi naturally knew which courtyard Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House was. Han Jianye lived in Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House when he got married in his last life. “Eldest Aunt, Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House is too big, I will rather not accept it. Just pick a smaller courtyard!” Yuxi’s Rose Courtyard was just a small courtyard with one entry. Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House was a three-entry courtyard, which was also one of the large courtyards in the State Residence.

Qiu Shi didn’t listen to Yuxi’s whining and said, “I’ll let you live there. The only bad thing about Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House is that it’s a bit far from me.” No one currently lived in that courtyard and Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House was one of the best, which was why she chose Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House for Yuxi.

Yuxi thought for a moment and said, “If I remember correctly, Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House should not be far away from Dage⁴eldest brother’s study, right?” Although Taoran³lit. happy and carefree You belonged to the inner chambers and Han Jianming’s study was in the front courtyard, it was only half a quarter of an hour from Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House to Han Jianming’s study, which was very near.

Qiu Shi nodded, “Don’t you like to read? Your Dage⁴eldest brother has quite a collection of books, so if you want to read any books then, just look for your Dage⁴eldest brother.”

The new courtyard was a done deal. Yuxi also felt a lot more relieved. In fact, no matter which courtyard she lived in, she didn’t feel much about it. The Rose Courtyard was a place she used to live in, and Taoran³lit. happy and carefree House was just another place for her to live, which didn’t have any special meaning for her.

Later, Yuxi had a good night’s sleep.

The next day, when Han Jianye got up and was about to go out, he heard his personal maid walk passed with a strange expression as she said, “Second Master, Fourth Miss’ maid, Miss Zijin, came looking for you.”

Han Jianye didn’t think much about it. He only thought that Zijin was sent by Yuxi. However, when he heard Zijin’s request, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry⁵Chinese idiom : find sth. both funny and annoying. “My Si Meimei⁶si=fourth, meimei=younger sister once told me that she wanted you to practice martial arts with my master, but my master refused. Zijin, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but that I can’t.”

Zijin didn’t force Han Jianye and only said, “Second Master, can you tell me where Master Yang lives?”

Han Jianye looked warily at Zisu and asked, “What do you want to do? Let me tell you, my master is a very stubborn person, and even if you just go there to beg, it will be useless.”

Zijin looked up and said, “Second Master, I have no wish to acknowledge Master Yang as my teacher. Not to mention that I’m a girl, my status is also not qualified. Second Master, I just want to learn martial arts well and protect Miss in the future. Second Master, please help me and tell me the address of Master Yang!”

Under Zijin’s pleading, Han Jianye finally couldn’t stand it any longer and told her where Master Yang lived. Although he told her the address, he still reminded her, “I will still repeat the same thing, my master is a very stubborn person. I firmly believe that even ten horses won’t be able to pull him back. If he says he won’t take you as a disciple, he won’t take you.”

Zijin never thought of acknowledging Master Yang as a teacher. She only hoped to get his guidance. “Second Master, I know. Don’t worry, I won’t make you feel embarrassed.”

Han Jianye wasn’t afraid of being embarrassed, he just felt very sure that Zijin wouldn’t be able to succeed.

Zijin also knows that she couldn’t make sense with Han Jianye, and both of them were not on the same wavelength at all. “Second Master, I only hope that Miss won’t know about what happened today. I am afraid Miss will be worried when she knows about this.”

Han Jianye readily agreed, “Don’t worry, I won’t let my Si Meimei⁶si=fourth, meimei=younger sister know about this.” It was also Yuxi’s good fortune to have such a loyal and devoted subordinate.

When Han Jianye went to work for the Imperial Guards, he saw his future brother-in-law. When Sixth Master Lu saw Han Jianye, he patted him on the shoulder and praised him, “Very good.” Sixth Master Lu just got the news yesterday afternoon and told his family with joy when he returned home.

Han Jianye grinned and replied, “It was also because of luck.” Running into one of the leaders of the rebels and then managed to slaughter him, he truly felt like his luck was off the charts!

Sixth Master Lu smiled, “It’s not just luck, it depends on your skill too.” Luck was there, but without skill, even with luck, it would only be futile. This noob translation was translated by a noob translator きつね. Please read this chapter at xin-shou.blogspot.com.

Han Jianye wasn’t modest anymore, “San Ge⁷san=third, ge=elder brother, short form for Gege, let’s go have a drink after the next errand.” Men’s friendships were built at the wine table.

Sixth Master Lu shook his head and said, “After the next errand, you can come home with me! Dad has something to tell you!” After being in contact with him for such a long time, he discovered that Han Jianye was really a tactless one.

Han Jianye paled and said with difficulty, “Okay.” He was truly afraid of meeting his future father-in-law, and every time he was criticised, it would be from head to toe, like he had not even one good point⁸Chinese idiom : everything about something or somebody is wrong. Of course, it wasn’t without its benefits; through the criticism of Second Lord Lu, he had seen many of his shortcomings and was currently working on correcting them.

Han Jianming always wanted Han Jianye to get rid of his bad habits, but he was only two years older than Han Jianye, and he didn’t have enough experiences, thus he didn’t know how to correct his shortcomings! Second Lord Lu was different. He had enough experiences, so when he taught Han Jianye, it was simply the same as just by stretching his hand and grabbing it⁹Chinese idiom : very easy. This was why Yuxi felt that Han Jianye had matured a lot.

After Sixth Master Lu finished with his errand, he waited at the door. When he saw Han Jianye’s expression like he was going to the execution ground, he laughed and said, “My dad is not going to eat you, how can you be scared like this?” This time, Sixth Master Lu seemed to have forgotten, that every time he was taught by his father, he would also become as good as a kitten.

Han Jianye followed Sixth Master Lu, but as he walked he felt something was wrong, “Liu Ge¹⁰liu=sixth, ge=elder brother, short form for Gege Brother, isn’t this the way to uncle’s study?” He hadn’t married Lu Xiu yet, hence he couldn’t call Second Lord Lu as his father. That was why he still called him uncle.

Sixth Master Lu showed a sly smile on his face, “Let’s go, I won’t take you the wrong way.”

Although Han Jianye was forthright, he wasn’t brainless and inquired, “What the hell is going on? If you don’t tell me, I’m going home.”

Sixth Master Lu said with a smile, “Grandpa just took a break today, and Dad is waiting for you by Grandpa’s side!”

Han Jianye’s legs went weak when he heard this. It had been almost two months since he had been betrothed to Lu Xiu, and he hadn’t seen Old Lord Lu. He hadn’t expected to see Old Lord Lu either, mainly because Old Lord Lu was a very busy man and had many children and grandchildren at his knees, so a future grandson-in-law of his was really nothing. But, no amount of fear would have prevented this.

After another short walk, the two arrived outside a homely-looking courtyard. Seeing that Han Jianye couldn’t lift his leg, Sixth Master Lu laughed lightly and said, “Let’s go, Grandpa is waiting inside!”

He had to get in anyway, if he died then he died! Han Jianye had to put forward his spirit of not being afraid to die as he walked in with a brisk stride.

When Sixth Master Lu noticed Han Jianye’s manner, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry⁵Chinese idiom : find sth. both funny and annoying. If he didn’t know, he would think that Han Jianye was going to an execution ground! However, when he thought of his stern Grandpa, Sixth Master Lu also cringed.
