A few days after the Beiyan envoy left, Hu Wanda received news. The Eight Grassland Tribes and the Beiyan court had temporarily stopped fighting, and the restrictions on merchants, large and small, had been slightly relaxed. Hu Wanda and his party were slowly withdrawing.

When Lin Wan received the news, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the big black face's words still count!

Just after November, it was a little colder in the capital, and snowflakes began to fly in the sky. Overnight, the whole capital was covered with a thick layer of white snow.

In the absolute silence, the plum blossoms in Xining Prince's Mansion bloomed quietly, cluster by cluster, and the whole courtyard was filled with eye-catching red, which was very beautiful.

Lu Junzhao pushed open the door from outside and entered the yard despite being covered in snow. When he passed by a cluster of brilliantly red plum blossoms, he subconsciously stopped and his eyes lingered on the red plum blossoms for a moment before he strode forward.

Frowning, he turned around, picked out the branch that was in full bloom, broke off a few branches, took it into his hand, looked at it twice, and threw away half of it. When he was satisfied, he handed the plum blossoms to Zhou behind him.

Sichuan.

"Send it to the girl!"

Zhou Chuan held the blooming red plums in astonishment, and when he saw the gentle smile on his father's face, he could only sigh resignedly. The envoy from Beiyan left, and besides competing with the prince these days, the rest of his thoughts were devoted to the girl.

Already.

Are you going to send flowers again today? This is something that comes up every time you think about it. Hey, just send them!

But this flower is too ostentatious.

Zhou Chuan glanced at the red plum in his arms in embarrassment, frowned and thought for a moment, got into the house and pulled out a rag from somewhere, carefully covered the red plum, and then carried the flower to Chongqing.

Anhou Mansion ran away.

Near the end of the year, the shopkeepers from the north and the south all submitted their account books. Lin Wan was busy checking them, and Yu Zhu was helping to sort out the accounts. These two days were so busy that she had no time to spare.

Zhou Chuan naturally did not dare to hand the red plums directly to Yimei Courtyard. He only called Zhou Ming from outside the wall, stuffed the plum blossoms into Zhou Ming's arms, and coughed: "I gave this to the girl, you can take it in and give it to the girl."

.”

Zhou Ming looked at the pile of rags with disgust, peeled off a corner and glanced sideways. He suddenly felt dumbfounded. "My father-in-law also sent me a pair of jade carvings. The girl didn't want them, saying it was not polite. Why did I change them to flowers today?"

Already?"

Zhou Chuan pushed Zhou Ming impatiently: "Go if I tell you to, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Ming sighed and had no choice but to hold the red plum and slowly walk towards Yimei Courtyard.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Lin Wan glanced through the window and saw Zhou Ming entering the yard with a crying face. He rubbed his eyebrows and walked out of the inner room with a smile. He asked with some curiosity.

As soon as I finished asking, I felt a faint fresh floral fragrance floating on the tip of my nose. After standing for a while, the floral fragrance hit my face along with the cold wind.

"Is it a plum blossom?" Lin Wan's eyes flashed with a joyful smile, "Did you fold it in the yard?"

"Girl, I asked someone to send it to me." Zhou Ming tore off the rag, took a look at it, and put it into his arms with disgust. He pointed at the red plum and smiled at Lin Wan, "Prince's Mansion"

The plum blossoms are blooming beautifully this year, and I picked them myself."

Lin Wan was dazzled by the bright red dots. There are also plum blossoms in Yimei Courtyard, but there are few red plums, and there are even fewer red plums that bloom so beautifully.

Lin took the first two steps out of the house at night, walked half a circle around Zhou Ming, and stared at the red plum up and down, left and right. Then he reached out to take it, and raised his voice and ordered into the house: "Qiu Zi, go get a vase."

Come on. Plug in this red plum."

After saying that, he lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. A smile floated on his face. He was happy and a little funny at the same time. He smiled and sighed at Zhou Ming, "I'll accept this flower. Go tell him, don't buy it next time."

The ones that are fully opened should be held until they are halfway open."

Aunt Cao happened to come in from outside the yard and heard Lin Wan's words. She took a look at the plum blossoms in Lin Wan's hand, and then looked at Zhou Ming. She understood something in her heart, and unconsciously had a smile on her face. She pointed at the red plums and pointed at the red plum blossoms.

Smiling and scolding Lin Wan: "Girl, you are really... well delivered. How beautiful it is, and you are so picky!"

Zhou Ming greeted Aunt Cao with a smile, "Young man, go and tell me now. Anyway, there are many red plums in the palace." After saying that, he bent down towards Lin Wan, turned around and hurriedly retreated.

Lin Wan entered the house with Grandma Cao and handed the plum blossoms to Qiu Zi. Forsythia and hibiscus circled around the red plums with admiration on their faces.

Aunt Cao turned her head and looked at Zhou Ming's back. The smile on her face became stronger and stronger, and she sighed with a bit of nostalgia: "General Lu is really interested in the girl. If the master knows, he will definitely feel good about it."

"Father would never have thought that I would marry a military general!" Lin Wan smiled calmly and warmly, smelling the fragrance of red plum blossoms, feeling inexplicably excited in her heart, and followed what Grandma Cao said.

Aunt Cao scratched Lin Wan's nose affectionately and said with a smile: "Don't you remember, girl? I loved taking girls around in those days. One time I went to a teahouse to listen to someone tell stories, but it turned out that the girl was a little bit small.

After reading the story, he would shout "Great General, Great General" every day when he came back, making the whole room laugh... Later, the master said, let the girl marry a general. This is really unbelievable, but now it will become true.

Got it!"

Lin Wan laughed awkwardly twice, sighed in her heart, nodded and said, "This is my father's blessing."

Aunt Cao's eyes were a little red and she quickly wiped them aside.

When Lin Wan saw this, she sighed in her heart, smiled and took Grandma Cao's hand, pointed at the forsythia and hibiscus surrounding the red plums and said with a smile: "Look at these girls, just a few flowers can make you happy."

This way, it’s like you’ve never seen the world before!”

Forsythia laughed, jumped to Lin Wan and defended: "This flower is really beautiful. Except for Xining Prince's Palace, I have never seen such beautiful red plums anywhere else, and the fragrance is also delicious." After that,

The hand that played with the flowers came to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan smiled and patted Forsythia's hand away, "You are so happy with just a few flowers, and you have no future! Go help Yuzhu sort out the account books!"

Forsythia said "Oh!", retracted her hand angrily, and muttered with a grimace: "It's not like you don't know, girl, my head hurts and my eyes are dazzled just by looking at that account book!"

"You girl, you should change your temper. When you go back to someone else's house, you can't be so careless and talkative! If you say something you shouldn't say, you should keep your mouth shut." Aunt Cao smiled and gave Forsythia a handful.

, advised with earnest words.

Forsythia chuckled and nodded. "I know. Auntie is doing it for my own good. I'm just talking in our yard, and I'll be a mute when I go out!" She said and covered her mouth with her hand.

Everyone in the room was amused and laughed.

On the other end, Zhou Ming told Zhou Chuan what Lin Wan had said intact. Zhou Chuan suppressed his laughter, nodded to Zhou Ming with a tense face, jumped out of the alley, and hurried back to Xining Prince's Mansion.

"Master, the girl accepted the plum blossoms." Zhou Chuan lowered his head and glanced at Lu Junzhao. He hesitated and said, "It's just that the girl said that next time I want to pick, I have to pick the half-open ones, don't pick these ones.

It’s open.”

"Yes, I understand." Lu Junzhao's eyes were filled with smiles. He stood up and walked to the Plum Garden. He walked around the Plum Garden carefully from beginning to end, picked out a large bunch of half-opened red plums, lowered his head and smelled it.

After standing for a moment, he walked towards the corner gate of the palace and told Zhou Chuan without looking back: "Prepare your horses!"

Zhou Chuan was stunned for a moment. When the cold wind blew, his mind suddenly cleared up. He hurriedly jumped over the wall to prepare his horse. He secretly murmured in his heart, Qingqing Ye will send it off in person this time!

After passing through the Chong'an Marquis' Mansion smoothly, Lu Junzhao asked Zhou Chuan to knock on the door, told the concierge, and went straight to Yimei Courtyard with the red plum in his hands, where he went to say hello to Mr. Liu first.

Mrs. Liu stared at the red plum in Lu Junzhao's hand in astonishment. Lu Junzhao had dark skin and a stern face. The extremely bright and thick red plum looked a bit strange no matter how he looked at it.

After being stunned for a moment, Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed with light, and she suddenly laughed: "Erlang is here to see Sister Wan?"

Lu Junzhao met Mr. Liu's slightly teasing gaze, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and nodded. "I'm going to say hello to you first."

Mrs. Liu was a little dumbfounded by Lu Junzhao's straightforward words. After thinking about it, she felt that the prospective son-in-law was more polite after all and knew how to ask him first.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu felt a little more happy. She pointed at the red plums and shook her head, with a joking smile on her face: "Tonight, there is an extra bottle of red plums in my sister's room. You didn't let anyone take it."

Are you here? Why did you come here again? Hey, Nanny Wei, let’s go find Sister Wan.” Mrs. Liu ordered Nanny Wei in a funny way, then shook her head and smiled at Lu Junzhao.

He said, "Forget it, I won't say anything more about your temper. I just hope that you can still have this kind of intention towards Sister Wan in the future."

"Don't worry, since I married Awan, I will naturally treat her well."

Ms. Liu nodded in a funny way, feeling a little satisfied with her son-in-law.

Lin Wan was stunned when she heard Aunt Wei talking about Lu Junzhao bringing red plums into the house. She was stunned for a long time, then stamped her feet for a long time, frowned and sighed in confusion, and looked at Aunt Wei's joyful and playful eyes.

living room.

"Why are you—" As soon as Lin Wan entered the room, she ran into Lu Junzhao's smiling eyes and glared at Lu Junzhao helplessly. In the middle of her words, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a large bunch of half-opened clothes in Lu Junzhao's arms.

I put the red plum in my hand, my heart tightened, and my face suddenly felt a little hot. I swallowed back the second half of my questioning words, stroking my forehead and muttered, "Didn't someone just send it to me in the afternoon? Why did you make another trip?"

Mrs. Liu turned around and left the house long before Lin Wan entered. The maid and mother-in-law outside also backed away with a smile. Lin Wan and Lu Junzhao were the only two people in the house.

Lu Junzhao looked at Lin Wan's suddenly red cheeks, his eyes were slightly stunned, and he stared at Lin Wan intently. Suddenly, a mouth opened in his heart, and a soft and gentle trickle slowly overflowed. His chest felt tight and itchy.

, stepped forward in a daze and handed over the flowers.

"I haven't seen you for a few days." Lu Junzhao's voice was gentle and hoarse, soft and soft, like a goose feather, tickling people's hearts, and he chuckled, "Awan, you look so good like this...

…”

Lin Wan was startled by Lu Junzhao's sudden soft words and took a step back. Her cheeks were hot. She frowned and glanced at Lu Junzhao in annoyance. She turned around and hugged Hongmei and walked out. When the cold wind blew outside,

The heat on his face slowly dissipated, but his heartbeat accelerated a little.

Lin Wan let out a long breath, tried her best to suppress the trembling in her heart, hugged the red plum, gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, snorted, and then snorted again. (To be continued. If you like this work,
