The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending
chapter-365

Chapter 365

The two momo’s chatted on and on, so much that Qin Jiu felt a little dazed.

Wedding date?! She’s only fifteen years old!

But now that she thinks about it, most of the ancient ladies seemed to get married after their coming-of-age ceremony, so does this also mean, she would soon get married?

How could this be so unreal?!

Qin Jiu felt a little confused and almost couldn’t help but pinched her thigh, she also couldn’t register what the momos continued talking about.

When Qin Jiu came back to her senses, the two momo already measured her size.

After the momo’s explained the ceremony to Qin Jiu, she realizes that she had to change into three clothes, four in total. The style of these dresses had been decided by Empress Wei and on the day of the coming age ceremony, Qin Jiu would have two momo who would help her. In short, she didn’t need to do anything, she only needs to memorize the process for the coming age of ceremony and set some etiquette standards.

Thus, Qin Jiu would have all the time she wants.

And since she has all the time, the unlucky Qin Zeyu would have his sister watching him every day until he felt dizzy reading those books, and while in a daze, he saw himself in the future proficient in both literature and martial arts, making him the country’s pillar!

After watching Qin Zeyu finished reciting an article again, she was about to let him go and rest when a servant came to report, “Third Miss, fifth master, master has sent a letter from Minzhou.”

Hearing this, the siblings were overjoyed.

The servant presents the letter to Qin Jiu, and under Qin Zeyu’s scorching gaze, Qin Jiu couldn’t wait to open the letter. The envelope was very thick because it also has Gu Zezhi’s letter in addition to Qin Zening’s letter to his family.

Immediately, Qin Jiu’s eyes lit up, and handed Qin Zening’s letter to Qin Zeyu, holding Gu Zezhi’s letter to read herself with a faint smile on her lips.

Seeing how happy his sister was, Qin Zeyu thought that Qin Zening had written a letter to each of them, so he stretched his neck towards her, “Third sister, what did big brother say to you? Making you smile so happily, let’s change!”

Qin Zeyu felt that the letter in Qin Jiu’s hand has an even funnier story so he shoved the letter in his hand in Qin Jiu’s hand, and tries to snatch the letter in her hand.

But of course, Qin Jiu wouldn’t let Qin Zeyu do whatever he wants, and flicked his head, “Get lost!”

Qin Zeyu patted his head vigorously, while Du Ruo at the side looked amused and whispered, “The letter is from third master.”

It turned out to be a letter from Third Brother Gu! Qin Zeyu suddenly realized that his sister was really difficult to serve, why couldn’t she just simply tell him?

Qin Zeyu dutifully read Qin Zening’s letter in his hand, then glances at Qin Jiu after ten lines, afraid that he would miss a word so he read slowly and silently.

Meanwhile, the letter Qin Jiu was reading was about Gu Zezhi arriving at Minzhou safely.

The letter narrates his journey and the things he had seen and heard along the way. At the end of the letter, he drew a few strokes of a man standing with his hand behind his back, looking intently at the red bean tree. The man’s hair in the drawing was half tied with a few loose strands scattered as the wind blows, and his robe fluttered, looking like a clear and clean sky after a rain.

An ancient poem naturally appeared in Qin Jiu’s mind, “Red beans grow in the South”

And the last line of this poem was, “This thing yearns me the most.”

Was the golden thigh telling her that he misses her very much?

So, this was a love letter?!

Suddenly Qin Jiu’s heart was thumping a little faster and was feeling sweet as if she had eaten honey, then a smile bloomed on her face and her eyebrows curved, she couldn’t help but stretched her finger out to trace the man on the paper.

When he comes back, she must ask him to draw a picture of her too!

A moment later, after staring at the date on the letter and counting the days, she muttered. “It’s been about twenty days now, and I don’t know how the battle is going.”

Meanwhile, Qin Zeyu finished reading Qin Zening’s letter again and casually put the letter aside, and said, “It’s still unclear if eldest brother can make it to third sister’s coming age ceremony. I heard that the pirates in Minzhou are particularly cunning, they would immediately run away after robbing things ashore, and are elusive at sea…”

“There’s still one month…” Qin Jiu counted the days again, “I guess they wouldn’t make it. Forget it, it’s just a birthday, and we can celebrate it together next year.”

Qin Jiu doesn’t really mind, after all, she was not really the traditional type of person, to her, the coming-age ceremony was not a big deal. However, it was different for Qin Zeyu, he felt that his sister was too pitiful, knowing that neither their eldest brother nor third Brother Gu could be present on such a big day, ai, he has to find a way to support his sister!

Qin Zeyu secretly pondered, and looked at Qin Jiu, her sister said those things nonchalantly but he could see she was slightly frowning, so he inwardly commented to himself: So, his sister really wanted them to be here, right?

On the other hand, Qin Jiu didn’t notice her younger brother looking at her with pitiful eyes and was instead lost in her thought, thinking that she spends too much of her time relaxing, too relaxed that she forgot to invite Yun Jiao.

After carefully thinking about it, she sent someone to inform the house of Count Yun that she would be visiting Yun Jiao.

Apart from Yun Jiao, she doesn’t have any particularly good friends in the capital.

After hearing Qin Jiu’s purpose for visiting her, Yun Jiao readily agreed while feeling disbelief, “You really want me to be your companion?”

Qin Jiu couldn’t contain her smile as she nodded, “Really.”

She smoothly took the invitation handed to her by Du Ruo and personally handed it to Yun Jiao, “The invitation is the proof.”

Yun Jiao looked at the large red invitation beautifully sprinkled with gold in her hand and smiled, “Then I will accept it.” Her eyes plastered on the invitation, looking at it lovingly, “Although my mother has already received an invitation from the Empress, this one is for me.”

She decided that she would take this invitation to Qin Jiu’s coming-of-age ceremony that day.

Qin Jiu: “?”

This was when Qin Jiu realize that Empress Wei had already given the Yun family the invitation.

Seeing that Qin Jiu didn’t seem to know, Yun Jiao said with a smile, “Many people have received your invitation, moreover, they are all written by the Empress herself.” This alone, she could say that no princess has this kind of fortune!

Qin Jiu: “…”

Hearing this immediately warmed Qin Jiu’s heart, Empress Wei was treating her really well.
