Chapter 671: 267, are we still going to see the snowy mountain together? (Second update)_1

Bai Lian was in Mr. Ma’s laboratory yesterday.

She didn’t go out today though.

After her morning run and a shower, she changed clothes, and when Jiang Fulai came to find her, she was standing in front of the desk writing calligraphy.

Everything needed for writing, including brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, was neatly arranged in the study.

She was dressed in a simple dark blue top and a long white skirt, her black hair was pinned up with a White Jade Hairpin, her eyelashes cast down; traditional colors always seemed to set off her temperament.

When she was seriously practicing calligraphy, it wasn’t the library style.

...

It was the Liang style.

The strokes were bold and unrestrained.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Jiang Fulai looked down at what she was writing, and it was just one phrase—

“Knowledge and action are one.”

The motto of Jiang University.

The Calligraphy Association has many interpretations of Liang style nowadays, emphasizing the balance of solid and void, penetrating deeply into the wood.

Her writing was always casual, but it revealed a clear presence.

“When are we leaving?” Jiang Fulai, wearing a white shirt and standing leisurely beside her, admired her writing. In the morning light, his silhouette was exceedingly smooth.

Bai Lian put down the brush, “Let’s go early. I’m skipping breakfast. I still need to visit Mr. Ma.”

Ji Mulan had a baby, and the entire Xu Family was very happy.

Xu En’s reputation had shot up in Yunxiao District over the past half year, especially in the past two months with Chief Chen’s presence, his status rose even further, prompting even the main branch of the Xu Family to send someone over with early congratulations.

Flying too close to the sun, even Xu En was on edge, so this time he didn’t throw a large banquet, but only invited close relatives and partners.

The venue was at the Xu Family’s place.

Bai Lian and Ji Heng arrived relatively early. By the time they got there, Chief Chen was already there. He was quite familiar with Xu En and knew that Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai would also attend, so he arranged his only three days of holiday in advance.

Ji Mulan was recuperating on the upper floor and didn’t come down.

The baby was in the arms of the old Mrs. Xu, who had a chrysanthemum-like smile on her face when she saw Bai Lian and Ji Heng approach.

The one-month-old child, although premature, had grown a bit plumper and was fair and tender.

Ji Heng, who habitually held his large tobacco pipe, didn’t speak but his expression softened considerably while looking at the baby.

Jiang Fulai stood by Bai Lian’s side, his phoenix eyes gently lowered, calmly watching the infant. His cool demeanor made the old Mrs. Xu want Bai Lian to take a closer look at the child but she didn’t dare approach because of Jiang Fulai.

The old Mrs. Xu paid close attention to Bai Lian’s expressions. Bai Lian always carried an easygoing and elegant air that made it hard to guess what was on her mind.

The old Mrs. Xu sighed; she hoped Bai Lian would take a liking to the child.

Even if she didn’t like the baby, the old woman hoped Bai Lian wouldn’t despise it.

Xu Wenyao and Xu En bore no blood relation to Bai Lian, who was never formally inducted into the Xu Family genealogy. Such relationships maintained by feelings alone were too fragile.

After all, the child was born preterm, the old woman thought, while handing the baby over to the nanny.

She had the nanny take him to the nursery above.

“Uncle Ji,” Chief Chen talked with Ji Heng, “let’s go fishing tomorrow; I still have one day of holiday left.”

With his hand rhythmically tapping the pipe, the other hand leading Jiang He, and Chief Chen being a vigorous new official, it had been a long time since they had made arrangements to go fishing together. “Alright, I have the fishing rods.”

“It’s summer, let’s choose a different spot to fish,” Chief Chen suggested.

Xu En poured tea for the two. His demeanor was refined, “I’m fine with any location. Let’s go and talk in the back. Someone just brought over a few tiger fish.”

Since leaving Xiangcheng, it had been a long while since Xu En went fishing.

Busy for so long, the Xu Family was gradually settling into the right track, and Xu En could finally take a breather.

All three men were fishing enthusiasts, so they headed to the back to admire the tiger fish Xu En had just received.

In the hall, the old Mrs. Xu took the walking stick passed to her by the butler, staring in astonishment at Ji Heng’s retreating figure.

She had never expected that the Ji Family would be knowledgeable about such ornamental fish.

Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai didn’t go to see the tiger fish, as Bai Lian was not particularly interested in fishing.

She and Jiang Fulai went upstairs to the nanny’s room to see the child.

Zhiyue was also upstairs, leaning on the crib.

The child’s name had already been decided: Xu Siqi.

Siqi, the great responsibility, the mother of King Wen.

“Such a grand name,” Jiang Fulai commented casually on the child’s name while holding his phone, his hands in his pockets, and glancing down at the infant.

To his surprise, the baby in the crib had already opened his eyes, and they were almond-shaped, somewhat resembling Bai Lian. Jiang Fulai glanced over indifferently; he no longer seemed to find the child objectionable.

“Let’s go,” Bai Lian said to Jiang Fulai after looking at Xu Siqi.

“Aren’t you eating?” Xu Wenyao had been leaning on the doorway all the while, not disturbing them. When he heard Bai Lian say they were leaving, he approached.
