Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1382: Chapter 1334: Completely Out-of-Sync Mindsets

”What are you talking about?” Xu Ning turned her head and asked with a hint of curiosity. It wasn’t until she arrived in Ye City that she realized there were indeed many smart women in the world. However, unlike the majority of men who aim for ennoblement and high office, these intelligent girls have completely different ideas.

Cai Yan, you’ve defied the heavens. You’ve already outsmarted most men. Why don’t you become an official? Why are you relaxing, sipping tea, and eating snacks instead of taking office?

And you, Sister Yueying, you’ve become a Grand Craftsman, haven’t you? Don’t think I can’t tell. By the way, how do you maintain your fingers?

And Wu Yuan, Zhen Mi, Mi Zhen, you guys aren’t bad either. Why aren’t you thinking about proving yourselves, and instead, your minds are full of wild thoughts? What’s going on with you all!

Among so many people, the only one truly motivated to become an official is Wang Yi. My dear sister, you really are my dear sister. Xu Ning simply didn’t know what to say to this group. Why isn’t there a single person as awake as she is?

Huang Yueying roughly explained the whole thing to Xu Ning. It couldn’t be helped; it was Lub Su who signed Xu Ning up at the time, and Xu Ning had no idea the registration point was clearly posted over there.

”Wow, to ennoble to a Marquis and have a fief, I want to participate!” Xu Ning excitedly raised her hand and said, ”Sister Yueying, you should join too. I remember you’ve done some research on water conservancy.”

”The problem is, in half a year, I’ll be going to another place with my husband. I can’t start something I can’t finish, so it’s better not to participate.” Huang Yueying declined. She had seen the framework map for the Five Provinces’ water conservancy network, so she understood it wasn’t something that could be accomplished overnight.

”Then since we have time now, let’s do it together.” Xu Ning, completely unfazed, leaped over and hugged Huang Yueying, jumping on the spot. Huang Yueying soon felt a bit dizzy.

”Stop, stop, stop...” Huang Yueying, the most frail among this group according to Hua Tuo’s diagnosis of Qi deficiency, couldn’t handle being jumped around by Xu Ning for several times and hurriedly asked her to stop.

”Is my sister agreeing?” Xu Ning asked excitedly.

”I’ve decided to send you back to the Xu Family.” Huang Yueying said, adjusting herself and looking at Xu Ning with a blank face.

”No, sister, you’re my sister. Don’t push me back into the fire pit, I barely climbed out of it.” Xu Ning clung to Huang Yueying, acting spoiled, while the surrounding girls turned their heads, feeling helpless. Xu Ning seemed much too lively compared to them.

But unlike the others, Lyu Qiling was showing a hint of envy.

”You’re the only one who can call your family a fire pit.” Huang Yueying said helplessly, ”Alright, alright, I won’t send you back. I asked Sunx Yi once, and he’s actually quite alright.”

”Absolutely not!” Xu Ning suddenly jumped back, distancing herself from Huang Yueying, making a decisive cross with her hands, almost bumping into Li Yuan on the side.

”But running away from a marriage isn’t right.” Huang Yueying sighed and said.

Xu Ning looked at Huang Yueying with tearful eyes, with an expression suggesting that if Huang Yueying didn’t say something favorable, she would start crying. Regarding principles, Xu Ning generally didn’t care about them, readily abandoning them to trick the passing naive Lub Su. To her, principles could be tossed aside without hesitation.

”Alright, alright, I’ll go with you. As for Ye City, stay as long as you want. I’ll ask my father to write a letter back for you, is that okay?” Huang Yueying said helplessly, feeling as if her emotions had been somewhat volatile since her cousin arrived.

”Thank you, sister.” Xu Ning jumped over and hugged Huang Yueying’s arm, ”How many people do we have participating now?”

”Including Yueying, we have six people now.” Li Yuan said, speechless, looking at Xu Ning and resentfully at Huang Yueying, ”Looks like we need to find a fixed location, otherwise it’s inconvenient.”

”Not sure if Sister Zhaoji will allow us to stay over there.” Jia Yun sighed at the sky, feeling that returning home made her hesitant to move around, and while Chen Xi’s Family and Cai Yan Family were suitable for gatherings, it’s inconvenient since Chen Lan has to take care of her daughter now.

”If we can’t get permission from Great Scholar Cai, I’ll find a place.” Wu Yuan declared. Having stopped worrying about the Wu Family bothering her, Wu Yuan was ready to move out of Liu Bei’s place. Living there, she always felt the looks from others were off.

Of course, this was just Wu Yuan’s psychological effect, but mental factors are also important, so she decided to find a good place and move out. Yet, being a young lady, she still hadn’t found a fitting and quiet place.

”Alright, then I’ll join too. If it’s not at my house or Cai’s house, you might have trouble finding some materials.” Fan Jian considered and said, ”But I can only provide you some materials.”

”Thank you.” Wang Yi smiled gracefully, ”Zhen’er, Mi’er, aren’t you joining?”

”I need to take care of Boyan.” Mi Zhen said with a smile, instantly causing the others’ expressions to change.

”Boyan, huh.” Jia Yun looked up at the sky. He’s sort of like her half-brother, whereas Lu Zijia is directly her brother, ”Actually, you could bring Boyan along. With all of us, we’re quite lacking, and with Boyan, we could get help from Marquis Chen.”

”It’s a pity Kongming isn’t here, otherwise, we could call him, and with him, I wouldn’t have to ask my father questions.” Li Yuan scratched her head resignedly, not realizing Huang Yueying was gazing gently at her back.

”I think we should be realistic and go find Elder Sister Cai.” Wang Yi raised her hand in frustration, saying, ”Neither Master Jia nor Master Li nor Lub Zijing is realistic. Those who can truly help and have free time are only Marquis Chen and Elder Sister Cai.”

”Husband has been quite busy lately as well.” Fan Jian supported her left elbow with her right hand, rested her left on her chin, paused, and said after thinking.

”Huh?” Wang Yi was astonished, ”Didn’t Marquis Chen only go to the Political Office at Chen Hour and leave around Wei Hour? What’s he busy with at home?”

Fan Jian silently turned her head to look at Zhen Mi, who was staring straight ahead, yet the crimson hue of her earlobes betrayed her.

”...” Wang Yi was speechless, then glanced around the group and finally realized that, as expected from them alone, this matter could not be accomplished at all.

”I’ll join too.” Ma Yunlu, though not quite understanding what it was all about, raised her hand in excitement as well.

”Alright, Yun Lu can be counted as well.” Li Yuan said with a face of helplessness.

”We totally can’t handle this!” Wang Yi exclaimed in frustration, having diligently studied water conservation for a year, yet she remained barely knowledgeable, unable to manage without experts to help.

”Why manage it? Aren’t we doing this because we’re bored and want to have fun?” Jia Yun asked with a covered laugh, ”Are you secretly aiming for that Marquis position and the seventy li fief?”
