Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"The Chu State is adjacent to the Yangtze River and has many forests and mountains, so the people of Chu have a romantic atmosphere." Su Xuan looked at Mi Lian intently, "I have always heard that the women of Chu are reserved, dignified, and beautiful. Now that I have seen Miss Mi Lian, I know how beautiful the women of Chu are."

He had a warm smile on his face and spoke confidently without any restraint.

Mi Lian looked at him, a little dazed, and mustered up some courage, and said, "Thank you Su Xuan... Big Brother for the compliment!"

"Is Brother Su Xuan here today?" she asked curiously.

"Changping Jun's warm invitation is hard to refuse." Su Xuan answered while teasing, "Of course, I also want to meet the woman who secretly looked at me behind the plum tree at the banquet that day."

Damn!

Mi Lian cried out inwardly, feeling a little confused. She stamped her feet lightly, lowered her head, and wished she could cover it with her hands.

How could you just say it out loud! It's really too embarrassing!

"Now I have also secretly watched Miss Mi Lian's dance, so we are even." Looking at Mi Lian's appearance, Su Xuan couldn't help but smile.

Mi Lian finally came to her senses. Yes, he also secretly looked at her, so why should she be shy?

He was so open and frank, so she naturally had to respond with the same attitude. So she plucked up her courage, raised her head, and looked directly at Su Xuan without any hesitation.

There seemed to be a faint smile on his face from beginning to end.

Mi Lian subconsciously raised the corner of her mouth, thinking that it was actually quite good to just look at him quietly.

"Lian'er!" A voice came from afar. Mi Lian's expression straightened up. The person coming was his father Mi Qi.

"Father." Mi Lian replied.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I've been waiting for a long time but haven't seen you. I was wondering where you went. It turns out you're here." Mi Qi's tone sounded slightly complaining.

Su Xuan smiled slightly, "It's really because Sister Mi Lian's singing voice is so moving that I came here following the sound."

Sister Mi Lian?

Mi Qi was slightly stunned. He glanced at the shy Mi Lian and his mood became extremely complicated.

His daughter, Mi Qi, was, after all, a lady of high family and nobility, but the two had only met for a few moments and judging from his daughter's appearance, it seemed that she had already fallen in love with him.

It seems that the Prime Minister is not only good at government affairs, but also has great speaking skills.

"I wanted to introduce you to each other, but now it seems that it is not necessary." Mi Qi smiled and shook his head, then looked at Mi Lian, "When you are free, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit the Prime Minister. Since you two call each other brother and sister, you should communicate more."

Mi Lian was stunned for a moment, then her eyes brightened.

Her father took the initiative to ask her to visit Su Xuan. Was he trying to bring her and Su Xuan together?

"Yes, Father." She nodded quickly.

"Prime Minister Mi, why did you come to see me today? I wonder what it is about?" Su Xuan asked about the business.

Mi Qi pondered for a moment. On the one hand, he went to find Su Xuan to introduce Mi Lian to him, and on the other hand, of course, he wanted to deepen the relationship between them.

As the best spy, he knows that only by gaining full trust can he get what he wants from others.

Before that, revealing one's ambitions too early might easily alert the enemy.

Just as he was about to speak, a servant who looked like a manager walked over quickly with steady steps. He first glanced at Su Xuan, then whispered a few words in his ear. After he finished speaking, Changping Jun's face changed drastically.

He tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, and said with a bow, "My Lord Xiangbang, I am very sorry. My subordinates just told me that there is an urgent matter that I need to deal with. Mi Qi cannot accompany you for the time being, but I will come to apologize another day. I hope that my Lord Xiangbang will understand."

Su Xuan, who knew the inside story, laughed inwardly, knowing that his crime had been exposed, but on the surface he pretended to be concerned, "Prime Minister Mi, do you need my help? If you need help, just let me know."

He waved his hand, and his expression seemed to say, your business is my business, no need to be polite.

How could Mi Qi tell Su Xuan about such a confidential and important matter? He smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister. Next time if there is anything important, I will definitely ask you."

After that, the two exchanged some pleasantries, and Mi Qi took his leave.

After that, Su Xuan teased Mi Lian for a while, made an appointment with her to go outing together next time, and then said goodbye and left.

Chapter 160: Nong Yu's Feelings

After leaving Changping Jun's mansion, Su Xuan went to Qingfengtang, a farmer's house.

During the past few days, apart from his official business, he basically stayed at the farmhouse during the day, spending time with Tian Mi.

Of course, the reason why he went to the farmer's house was not just because of Tian Mi. When he first signed in, he received a book recording the complete cultivation process of "Parent Seeds".

There are densely written words on it, which are the results of countless hardships and overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles.

Speaking of parent seeds, Su Xuan remembered that in his previous life, someone had stolen them and sold them to foreign spy agencies, which made him very angry at the time.

If such a person were in Qin, Su Xuan would be the first one to drag him out and shoot him.

Now, after several years of cultivation and experimentation, combined with existing seeds, mass production has been successfully achieved.

When he and Zi Nu arrived in Qin, he asked them to start working on this matter.

If we want to really promote it, we have to wait until next year.

He was not in a hurry because he knew the principle of gradual progress. Sometimes, moving too fast is not a good thing.

Su Xuanyang sat at his desk, holding a pair of rice ears in his hands, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he looked comfortable.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Su Xuan glanced in the direction of the gate, then said calmly, "Come in."

A thin man with a goatee walked in. He was wearing a khaki open-chested suit with six beads on his chest representing his farmer's identity, and the words "Ten Evils" were engraved in seal script on his forehead.

"Greetings, Lord Prime Minister." The person who came was Wu Kuang, the head of Kuiwei Hall.

He seemed to have rushed over in a hurry, looking around, and when he saw that the figure he wanted to see was not there, he was a little disappointed, but more of a relief.

He was only away for a few days to carry out a mission, and he never expected to hear the bad news from Tian Meng when he came back. He did not believe the facts in Tian Meng's mouth, so he came to Qingfengtang in person to ask Tian Mi about the truth of the matter.

There is no way that Tian Mi would fall in love with a man so quickly. Even if it is true, there is a high probability that she was coerced!

As long as Tian Mi told him all this, even if Su Xuan was the Prime Minister of Qin, he would help her get justice!

"Has the Prime Minister seen Tian Mi?" Wu Kuang asked.

Su Xuan glanced at the beautiful face, then looked at Wu Kuang. He tapped lightly on the table with a look of pity in his eyes, "No, go look somewhere else."

Wu Kuang had no doubts about it. He came in a hurry and left cleanly and neatly.

When Su Xuan left, it was already midnight. Tian Mi originally wanted to keep him overnight, but he ruthlessly refused.

The daytime has been given to her, and you still want to occupy the night time?

This is asking for an inch!

Although Tian Mi was coquettish, after she had tasted the novelty of it, she was just one of his many women.

In the evening, he naturally had to accompany Zi Nu, and he wanted to see Zi Nu tonight because he had something important to tell her.

When Su Xuan arrived at the Violet Chamber of Commerce, Zi Nu was already wearing a purple silk pajamas. She was sitting on the bed, her purple hair falling like a waterfall, holding a book with the scent of ink in her hands, looking intellectual and elegant.

The room was still brightly lit. Su Xuan got into bed with ease, put his arm around Zi Nu's slender waist and kissed her smooth jade-like cheek.

He held Zi Nu's soft hand and asked seriously, "When will Madam move to the Xiangguo Mansion?"

"My Lord Prime Minister, with what identity do you plan to allow me to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Zi Nu asked mischievously.

"Isn't it nice to live here?" Zi Nu blinked and said meaningfully, "Master Xiangguo can come anytime he wants."

"Madam, don't you think that the Prime Minister's Mansion lacks a mistress to take charge?" Su Xuan looked at Zi Nu's charming purple eyes, "I will only feel at ease if I leave all the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion to you."

As he said this, he turned over and pressed Zi Nu under him, "Also, don't call me Prime Minister."

He tickled Zi Nu's waist and armpits, causing her to giggle and beg for mercy, "Husband, I was wrong, please... stop now."

Because at this time Su Xuan had already held her jade feet and was gently tickling them.

The originally tidy bed began to become messy after the commotion. Zi Nu's long hair was scattered like clouds, she was slightly panting, and gave Su Xuan a reproachful look.

Su Xuan took the opportunity to lie beside her, placing his palm on her flat belly, feeling the silky skin.

Sure enough, his favorite color is still purple, because purple always makes people sink into it unconsciously.

Moreover, this kind of liking will not decrease with the passage of time, but will increase day by day.

After Zi Nu recovered, she lay sideways in Su Xuan's arms, letting him hold her. "I don't have any objection to moving into the Xiangguo Mansion, but how do you plan to let Nong Yu deal with it?"

"Will she move into the Xiangguo Mansion with me, or will she continue to stay here?"

"What is her status when she moves into the Xiangguo Mansion?"

Su Xuan was slightly stunned.

"Haven't you noticed that you've seen Nongyu less and less recently?" Zi Nu's eyes flashed with heartache, "We live under the same roof, so Nongyu can't hide our affairs. That kid is afraid of disturbing our time together, so he puts all his attention on work."

Su Xuan was somewhat confused. He had been wondering why he often couldn't see Nanyue. Was this the reason?

"What does madam mean?" Su Xuan asked knowingly.

Zi Nu rolled her eyes at Su Xuan and said, "You know how Nong Yu feels about you."

"Is it really possible?" Su Xuan took advantage of the situation and acted like a good kid.

"Nongyu is a good girl, treat her well." She advised Su Xuan like a mother.

Su Xuan nodded seriously. He felt so sorry for a woman like Nongyu who was as gentle as water, yet strong and brave.

"Madam, rest assured, I will treat Nongyu well." After saying that, Su Xuan pulled the quilt over and buried the two of them in it. They looked at each other, "But before that, Madam, we should rest."

"And the last time Madam saw Jingwei, didn't she look at him for a long time?" Su Xuan stared at Zi Nu intently, "Madam must like children."

He slowly lowered his head, and they could already hear each other's hot breathing.

"Let's have a baby together!"

Zi Nu's eyes moved. She had this idea when she met Jing Wei by chance in the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago.

After all, she is not young, and the older she is, the smaller the probability of getting pregnant.

In this world, when a couple is in love, which woman doesn’t want to be a mother?

As the clothes faded away, a deep purple appeared in Su Xuan's vision.

In fact, Su Xuan was also shocked at the beginning, but when he saw that Zi Nu's hair and pupils were purple, he was relieved.

Outside the room, a simple and elegant figure in light yellow stopped knocking on the door, with a flushed face. She looked at him enviously, then took a deep breath, and left quietly, as if she had never been there.

When she returned to her room, Nong Yu could not stop recalling the voice she had just heard. Her face flushed, her legs unconsciously closed together, and she no longer had the heart to look at the things she was originally handling in her hands.

She knelt on the bed with her legs spread outward, covering her head in annoyance. When she found that it was useless, she lay down and covered herself with the quilt, trying to fall asleep as soon as possible. But the more she covered herself, the hotter she felt. She simply threw off the quilt, sat on the bed, and stared blankly out the window. The cool breeze at night made her a little more awake.

She sighed softly, and suddenly thought of the poem "Picking Plum Blossoms" from the Book of Songs. She realized that she was gradually becoming sentimental and longing for someone to caress her.

She lay on the bed, feeling her figure, thinking that it was not bad. Was it because Brother Su Xuan preferred intellectual and elegant women like Sister Zi Nu? Or was it a cool woman like Sister Jing Wei?

Her mind was full of thoughts and she tossed and turned in bed. It was not until midnight that her eyelids began to droop and she gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, she found that it was already afternoon. Her face changed drastically. Didn't this delay her work? She got up quickly, washed up, and prepared to rush to her workplace.

"Don't worry. Zi Nu specifically asked me to let you have a good rest after you wake up." Su Xuan was brewing tea in the hall, and a faint fragrance came. "This is a calming tea. How about Miss Nong Yu drink it with me?"

Nong Yu looked surprised, "Brother Su Xuan, why are you here?"

She obediently sat opposite Su Xuan, took a sip of tea, and stared at Su Xuan intently, her eyes seemed to turn into crescent shapes.

"I want to listen to Yu'er playing the piano for me. Is that not okay?" Su Xuan replied with a smile.

Cough!

Nongyu coughed twice and almost choked. She pinched her thigh with her hanging hands. After feeling the pain, she realized that this was not a dream.

Come to think of it, it has been a long time since I have been alone with Brother Su Xuan.

"As long as Big Brother Su Xuan wants to listen, Nong Yu can play the piano for him at any time." Nong Yu said very seriously.

A zither had already been placed on the table in front of the window. Nong Yu walked over to the table and stroked it gently with her jade hand, causing the strings to ring and produce beautiful sounds.

The song was "Tears of the Ocean", the song that the two played when they first met.

But compared to the first time they met, the melody of this song is much more cheerful, and there is not as much sadness as before.

"It's been a while since I last heard you play the piano. Miss Nanyue seems to be a lot less skilled at it." Su Xuan had walked behind Nanyue without her noticing. He held her hands and whispered in her ear, "Have you been neglecting your practice recently?"

The scorching breath so close to her and the real touch of close contact made Nong Yu's delicate body tremble slightly.

Is it really strange? Why didn't she notice it at all?
