In the yard at the back, Lin Wan listened to Zhou Ming give Lu Junzhao's instructions in a serious manner, looked at each other and smiled with Aunt Cao, breathed a long sigh of relief, and asked Qiu Zi to put a chair by the window and lean back leisurely.

Sitting on the back of the chair, I stared at the pouring rain outside.

Lu Junzhao entered the courtyard from the corridor. He was splashed with water and his hair was a little wet. As he walked into the house, he asked: "Where is Madam?"

After saying this, without waiting for anyone to answer, he walked into the inner room. He saw Lin Wan leaning on the bed with a calm face, lost in thought. Her eyes gradually softened. She stretched out her hand to wave away the girls who came up to her. She walked slowly with a gentle step.

Behind Lin Wan, Lin Wan was looking at her in concentration, with a gentle smile slowly coming from the corners of her mouth.

Lin Wan noticed the gaze behind her, smiled, retracted her hand, turned to look at Lu Junzhao, and asked softly: "What's wrong--" Before she could finish her words, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the water stains on Lu Junzhao's body and being moistened by the rain.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he glared helplessly at Lu Junzhao, who had a gentle smile on his face, and called out to Qiu Zi. "Go and find some of my clothes, homely ones will do."

Qiu Zi agreed, turned around and went out.

Then he picked up Lu Junzhao's wet sleeves and said, "I don't know how to change my clothes when they are wet! What should I do if I get sick?"

"It's okay." Lu Junzhao had a gentle smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to hug Lin Wan, but he took it back in mid-air. He only lowered his head and pecked Lin Wan's eyes tenderly. When he was about to kiss Lin Wan again, he was stopped by Lin Wan.

Wan frowned and pushed away.

"Hurry up and change your clothes!"

Lin Wan took the clothes from Qiu Zi and stepped forward to untie Lu Junzhao's clothes. She saw Lu Junzhao smiling brightly. She felt funny in her heart, but on her face she twisted Lu Junzhao's arm angrily and said with a serious face.

: "Change it yourself!"

Lu Junzhao took advantage of the situation and held Lin Wan's hand. He took the clothes with a muffled smile and changed them himself. He held Lin Wan from behind and looked at the waterfall-like rain curtain outside. He lowered his head and rubbed Lin Wan's cheek and said softly.

: "Awan, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Wan leaned lazily against Lu Junzhao and was silent for a moment. There was a hint of joking in her tone and she said with a smile: "I was wondering how I met that girl Qin. Apart from her, I don't know who else I know."

What girl."

Lu Junzhao tightened his arms and gently hugged Lin Wan, with a smile hidden in his deep voice.

"Awan, don't worry, I have no one else before."

"Then what happens next?" Lin Wan tilted her head and looked at Lu Junzhao with bright eyes and asked.

Lu Junzhao suddenly stopped laughing. He leaned against the tip of Lin Wan's nose, smiled lowly, and slowly kissed Lin Wan's pink lips. He coaxed in a vague voice: "Not anymore, I only have you..."

Lin Wan grabbed the lapel of Lu Junzhao's clothes. Her cheeks were flushed by Lu Junzhao's hot breath, and the tip of her tongue gently responded to Lu Junzhao's gentle kiss. A sweet trickle filled her heart.

Aunt Cao looked at the backs of the two people huddled together outside. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She gently opened the curtain and asked Qiu Zi to take care of her. Then she left the house and headed to the yard at the back.

went.

In the living room, Wei Yanping looked at the tea cup in his hand. It took a long time, until the water in the cup was cold, then he slowly put down the cup and stood up. He straightened his clothes, opened the fan with a clatter, walked to the door and opened it in two swaggering steps.

He shouted: "Where are the people in this yard? Send me an umbrella!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the steward who had followed Wei Yanping all the way ran over from the rain and fog with two oil-paper umbrellas. He handed one of the umbrellas to Wei Yanping respectfully, panting and laughing: "

Master, your umbrella."

Wei Yanping glanced at the corner of his mouth in disgust, stretched out two fingers to twist the umbrella handle, looked at the rain curtain outside that was getting heavier and heavier, then lowered his head to look at the paper fan in his hand, sighed longly, and stuffed the fan into the steward's hand.

He held an umbrella in his hand and walked outside while sighing resentfully: "I'm really getting better and better, and I'm going back. There's no one to deliver the umbrella... ugh..."

The middle-aged steward followed Wei Yanping without saying a word, strolling out of the yard against the sound of rain pouring all the way.

Back at the house, several girls had already come to help Wei Yanping clean up and change his clothes, and then left respectfully. The room was quiet, Wei Yanping lay on the rocking chair and looked at the beams, lost in thought for a while.

He raised his voice and called the boy waiting outside to invite the third and fourth masters to the study.

Wei Yanzhong and Wei Yanliang were led to the study by the servants. Wei Yanping had a warm smile on his face and was making tea slowly and smoothly. When he saw the two people coming in, he just nodded slightly and signaled them.

The person sat down, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

The room was very quiet, the only sounds that could be heard were the sound of heavy rain outside and the sound of the teapot being flushed.

Wei Yanzhong and Wei Yanliang looked at each other. Looking at Wei Yanping, who had a leisurely look on his face, the two brothers unconsciously slowed down their steps and sat quietly at the table.

Wei Yanping poured half a cup of tea for both brothers, handed it over with a smile, waved to the boy waiting in the room, and held a cup of hot tea himself, looking at the mist swirling around the mouth of the tea cup, his voice was gentle.

And he spoke calmly: "I went to see the general this morning."

When Wei Yanzhong heard the words, the cup in his hand shook, and his dark face gradually became brighter, his eyes brightened a bit, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raised, but he struggled to suppress the excitement in his heart, and looked at Wei Yanping with bright eyes.

.

"Second cousin...what should I say?"

Wei Yanliang looked at the excitement and curiosity in Wei Yanzhong's eyes, shook his head and laughed softly, slowly took a sip of tea, sighed comfortably, and leaned back on the chair, feeling extremely

I tasted the tea with interest.

Wei Yanping glanced at the expressions of Wei Yanzhong and Wei Yanliang, and sighed slightly in his heart. If the third brother could have the character of the fourth brother, his father would have relented and sent him to the military camp.

"It's the general!" Wei Yanping put down the tea cup in his hand, the smile on his face faded, he stared at Wei Yanzhong and emphasized in a very soft voice.

After saying that, he glanced at Wei Yanliang and whispered: "That is the general who has been personally appointed by the Holy Lord, and the future head of the Lu family. Sooner or later, the north will be handed over to him. In the future... we must treat him as our master.

look."

Wei Yanliang's eyes flashed with surprise, he looked at Wei Yanping with raised eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother, what do you mean...the Lu family is going to take action?"

Wei Yanzhong was stunned for a moment, looked at Wei Yanping and then at Wei Yanliang. He frowned and shouted, "My second cousin has become a general of the country, isn't he still a cousin?"

"If you go to the army, will you treat him as your cousin?"

Wei Yanping looked at Wei Yanzhong, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and then weakly relaxed. Forget it, the third brother's temper cannot be changed in a day or two.

"Can I join the army?" Wei Yanzhong's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face. He was about to jump up with a cry. Wei Yanliang, who was half lying on the back of the chair, quickly straightened up.

Grabbed it.

"Wei Yanzhong," Wei Yanping's voice was low. His tone was calm but slightly cold. "I will only say what I say today once, you must remember it clearly! Lu Junzhao is not only our cousin, but also our master! Go to

Finally, we have to respect him! Do you understand?"

"Brother!" Wei Yanliang smiled and gave Wei Yanping a hand, then nodded to Wei Yanzhong and persuaded in a slow voice. "The third brother has always had such a temperament, so it would be better to just let him go."

Wei Yanping glanced at the confusion in Wei Yanzhong's eyes, laughed at himself, shook his head and sighed, slowly fell down on the rocking chair and narrowed his eyes.

Wei Yanzhong looked at Wei Yanliang as if asking for help. He was confused and helpless, and frowned irritably. He carefully glanced at Wei Yanping, who had a calm face.

"Brother, don't worry, I've remembered it clearly. Then, about going to the military camp..."

Wei Yanliang pulled Wei Yanzhong funny but helplessly, and shook his head gently.

"The fourth brother will follow the general and his wife to Longchuan Mansion tomorrow, and the third brother will return to the capital." Wei Yanping squinted his eyes, tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and spoke slowly.

As soon as the words came out, the two people on the opposite side were stunned for a while.

The smile on Wei Yanliang's face faltered, and his heart sank. He frowned and looked at Wei Yanping without saying anything.

Wei Yanzhong looked extremely irritable and opened his mouth to object. When the words came to his lips, he caught a glimpse of Wei Yanping's calm expression and swallowed back his dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean by the general?" Wei Yanliang turned the teacup in his hand, his brows furrowed but his voice remained calm.

It took a long time to hear Wei Yanping nod his head, and Wei Yanliang's heart beat wildly. He clenched and unclenched his hands, then stood up with a smile, saluted Wei Yanping, and pulled Wei Yanzhong, who looked angry, out.

opened the study door.

After a while, Wei Yanliang came back alone and entered the study.

Wei Yanping seemed to have expected it. He straightened up and poured a cup of tea for Wei Yanliang. He pointed at the chair opposite and shook his head and sighed: "Sit down. Third brother, please advise him. With his temper, he can't do it now."

Not suitable for joining the military."

Wei Yandian nodded, sat opposite Wei Yanping, holding a tea cup and asked: "Why did the general suddenly ask me to go to Longchuan Mansion?"

"The general said something this morning," Wei Yanping paused, put down the teapot and looked at Wei Yanliang and smiled, but his eyes were slightly solemn, "Madam said that it is not difficult to do business in the north.

"

Wei Yanliang's movements froze, and he raised his head to look at Wei Yanping: "What the general said...the Lu family wants to hand over the business in the north to the second young lady?"

Wei Yanping looked at Wei Yanliang with satisfaction and relief. There was a smile in his eyes, but he did not answer Wei Yanliang's words. Instead, he sighed to himself: "That lady is also a person with good intentions. She is just a villain."

She's a little older, and she looks like a little girl. I seem to have heard my father say that my aunt said that she was the one the general had his eye on, and he willingly agreed to marry her."

Wei Yanping laughed when he said this. "Now I know that the general's bodyguards have given a lot to that lady. That lady is really someone who should not be underestimated! Now think about it, how can the general be so powerful?"

She seems to have made the King of Xining nod. This lady is really curious. The Lin family is married to the Lu family, and it is rare that the Marquis of Chong'an can still deal with it calmly. "

Wei Yanliang was frightened for a while, and his face darkened little by little. It took him a long time before he said in a deep voice: "I understand. Lin Chengrui, the eldest son of Chong'an Marquis Mansion, has a gentle temperament, and he is a good friend."

The smile in Wei Yanping's eyes suddenly disappeared, he straightened up and patted Wei Yanliang's shoulder, smiling and nodding. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
