Chapter 97: Scoundrel
Qiu Zi followed Lin Wan silently. Seeing Lin Wan gnashing her teeth, stamping her feet and snoring, she felt funny in her heart, but she had to hold back and persuaded softly: "Girl, it's cold outside, go back to the house first."
Lin Wan plucked off a plum blossom, rubbed it in her hands, and entered the house bitterly.
Forsythia and Zhu Hibiscus gathered around in surprise, clicking their tongues non-stop. Even Yuzhu, who was sorting out the account books, raised his head and glanced at Lin Wan in surprise.
Lin Wan belatedly glanced at the red plums in her arms, turned around angrily, stuffed all the flowers into Qiu Zi's hands, and coughed with a straight face: "What are you all doing here? Is there nothing to do?"
Hurry up and put this flower in."
Qiu Zi held the red plum in one hand and covered her mouth with the other, coughed twice, tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips, nodded, called Zhu Hibiscus, and turned around to find a vase.
In the living room, Lu Junzhao laughed softly in a muffled voice, his heart filled with tenderness and softness. He stood there blankly for a moment, then went out to say goodbye to Mr. Liu, and left the Chong'an Marquis Mansion with brisk steps.
Mrs. Liu looked at Lu Junzhao's back with emotion and smiled at Aunt Wei: "Master Jiwu said before that Sister Wan's life is good and she is blessed, but I wasn't convinced. Now it seems that at least this son-in-law is quite good. Although
He doesn't follow many rules and speaks outright, but he has this kind of heart, which is no worse than that of Wang Jiawulang."
Aunt Wei's face was so smiling that there were a few wrinkles on her face. She nodded in agreement and said, "It's true! The generals of the Lu family are all straight-tempered, and our uncle-to-be is also a true-tempered one.
She is bold and proactive, but I feel a little embarrassed when I look at the girl." Aunt Wei laughed and clapped her hands repeatedly, "I have never seen a girl behave like this in all these years... Our girl has such a temper, if I don't take the initiative, I'm afraid it will
In the future, the husband and wife will get along less and have less affection. Wasn’t my wife worried about this before? It will be better this time."
Ms. Liu nodded with emotion. "It's still early. Let's wait and see in a few years. After all, Sister Wan is not the one who will suffer. I just hope that she can live a more comfortable life in the future."
As the end of the year is approaching, each shopkeeper has sent in their account books one after another. Throughout November, caravans from the south continue to come, one after another to the Chong'an Marquis' Mansion.
Mrs. Feng took the money and Grandma was busy making preparations for the end of the year.
Grandma Qian looked at the shopkeepers going to Yimei Courtyard one after another in shock. She sighed inwardly, looked at the sky, pulled Mrs. Feng and sighed with a smile: "I haven't seen so many in the past years."
People, people in Yimeiyuan have not been cut off this year. Third aunt has so much business in the south?"
Mrs. Feng raised her head and glanced at Yimeiyuan with complicated eyes. She explained in a calm tone: "Your mother's business is also very big, so what's the fuss? Your third uncle has been working in the south for nine years.
Can you leave something for the third bedroom? The road to the south from the capital is not short, and not all the shopkeepers came here before. But this year is different. My sister will come out of the cabinet late next year, and your third aunt only has one daughter. I'm afraid she is planning to give it to the third bedroom.
When she makes a dowry, she naturally has to summarize all the old accounts of each family. Sister Wan, on the other hand, is really good at doing business, unlike your eldest sister..."
"My eldest aunt has a gentle temperament, how can she be like us? She is not afraid of mother's jokes. The business people in our family are all fierce-tempered. Even the sixth sister, I think, is not easy to mess with." Grandma Qian said with a hearty smile.
The smile on Mrs. Feng's face was a little bitter. She raised her head, rubbed her brow, and sighed softly.
After Laba Festival, Lin Wan hurriedly finished sorting out the account books, and asked Yuzhu to sort the books into categories and send them to the shopkeepers respectively.
Ms. Liu was also very busy, watching people register the New Year gifts and rare items sent by various shopkeepers and put them into the warehouse, and also thinking about which ones should be counted as dowry for Lin Wan and which ones should be used as gifts...
It had been busy since Laba, and the shopkeepers of various shops had taken vacations one after another. Only then did they have some free time, so they talked to Lin Wan about going to Cishou Temple.
"It's the end of the year again, you go to Cishou Temple to burn incense, and also go see the master." Mrs. Liu sighed softly, "I went to Cishou Temple earlier, and when I looked at the master, he looked really older than last year.
Less, hey."
Lin Wan smiled bitterly. Thinking of Ji Wu's words about birth, old age, sickness and death, she felt a little sad and nodded in agreement.
It wasn't until mid-December that Lin Wan got free time and took a carriage to Cishou Temple.
Zhou Ming watched Lin Wan get on the carriage, stood on the wall and thought for a while, then turned around and ran to the Prince of Xining's Mansion. Since the last time he sent flowers, the girl has avoided seeing him. He has run several times these days, and he has always been there.
He couldn't see the girl, his face was as gloomy as a snowy day, and he was shivering from the cold. Zhou Chuan pulled him and begged for a long time with a sad face. This was considered a good deed by him.
Lu Junzhao rode his horse and arrived at the foot of Cishou Temple almost at the same time as Lin Wan's carriage.
Lin Wan sat in the car in astonishment, opened the curtain and looked at Lu Junzhao coming towards her, frowned slightly, curled her lips and threw the car curtain angrily, and ordered the woman who was driving the car outside: "Mom, hurry up.
some."
The woman driving the carriage smiled bitterly and had no choice but to whip her whip a few more times. But Lu Junzhao still rode closer and closer, bypassing the carriage, reining in the horse and stopping in front.
The old lady had no choice but to lift the reins and stop the carriage. She turned to look at the carriage and hesitated: "Girl, General Lu is in front."
Lin Wan was silent for a moment in the car, then she bitterly opened the curtain and walked out of the car door. She stood in the car and glared at Lu Junzhao, who had dismounted and walked over: "Why are you blocking the car?"
Lu Junzhao glanced at the old woman driving the car and Forsythia who was following Lin Wan timidly. The two of them shrank their necks. The old woman hurriedly retreated, but Forsythia leaned behind Lin Wan and frowned at Lu Junzhao.
Stared back.
Lu Junzhao laughed angrily, jumped forward and took Lin Wan out of the carriage. He glanced at Forsythia warningly, took Lin Wan in his arms and reached the horse in a few steps, carrying Lin Wan with him lightly.
Got the horse.
Forsythia stared at this sudden scene with her eyes wide open. She even forgot to scream in her throat. She only watched in shock and horror as Lu Junzhao picked up his girl on the horse in the blink of an eye. After a long time, she swallowed and turned towards him.
The woman driving the carriage rushed over and shouted angrily: "Drive! Drive, go find the girl!"
Lin Wan had never ridden a horse in her life, and now she was frightened and angry when sitting on the horse but did not dare to move. She had to pinch Lu Junzhao hard and said angrily: "Why are you so crazy?"
"Why don't you see me?" Lu Junzhao's voice was cold and a little aggrieved, and his warm breath swirled in Lin Wan's ears as he spoke. Lin Wan was embarrassed and annoyed, and her ears gradually turned red, and she struggled to dismount.
.
"Who told you to say that? You let me go down!"
Lu Junzhao's hand holding Lin Wan tightened. Looking at Lin Wan's gradually reddened ears, the tense string in his heart suddenly plucked. A layer of thin trembling spread across his chest. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her softly.
He kissed Lin Wan's cheek. The smile gradually spread from his eyes.
"Awan, you are shy!"
Lin Wan's face turned red, with embarrassment and indescribable anger on her face. She twisted Lu Junzhao's arm angrily and cursed through gritted teeth: "What a shame, you scoundrel! You've only recovered for a few days. You
You're going to make me mad! Let me go." As he spoke, he took Lu Junzhao's hand with great effort and leaned to the side. He couldn't care about anything else. His heart was full of anger, his eyes were staring at the ground, and there was only one thought in his mind -
-dismount.
Lu Junzhao hurriedly grabbed Lin Wan's hand, held Lin Wan's waist with one hand and pulled it back. He held the reins with one hand to stop the horse, and freed up his other hand to circle Lin Wan. He whispered: "
Don't be angry, I just can't see you, I feel depressed. I just want to see you, but why don't you see me? Wan, we are engaged..."
"That can't be like this!" Lin Wan shouted back with a blushing face, "You are a rogue! Are you as frivolous as you?"
"I was wrong. Ah Wan, don't be angry!" Lu Junzhao hurriedly held Lin Wan's struggling hand and explained hurriedly, "I just miss you. I am happy when I see you, but I feel depressed when you can't see you.
Uncomfortable. Ah Wan, you smiled at me... You looked really good that day, the day I sent you plum blossoms. I went back and thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't sleep. I just wanted to see you. But you always ignored me..."
Lin Wan's heart was pounding, her ears were red, her cheeks were hot, and the warm breath on the back of her neck made her dizzy. She straightened up with difficulty and shouted: "You still say it! Don't say it! Rogue..." But her voice gradually dropped.
, I could only hear the thumping sound in my ears, and I didn’t know whose heartbeat it was.
Lu Junzhao looked at Lin Wan, her face was red, her ears were hot, and her body was so soft against her chest. He could even hear her heartbeat, and his heart felt swollen and itchy. Suddenly, his mind suddenly enlightened, and he put his head against Lin Wan's.
, laughed muffledly.
"Well, I won't tell you. Don't be angry, it's my fault. Can I teach you how to ride a horse? Let's go to Cishou Temple together, Wan, okay?"
Lin Wan felt that her whole body was hot, and her face was extremely hot. She was a little panicked. She tried her best to suppress the vibration in her chest, steady her voice, took a breath and said, "I have a carriage, please let me get off."
Lu Junzhao gently held Lin Wan's waist, rubbed Lin Wan's hair, and said in a flattering voice: "Let's just ride for a while, okay? Look, we will arrive at Cishou Temple soon. You have so many
If God doesn’t see me——”
Lin Wan pinched Lu Junzhao hard. Lu Junzhao hurriedly smiled and swallowed the words behind him. His hoarse voice was full of tenderness, and he smiled and said: "You have never ridden a horse? I will teach you for a while, don't do it."
Afraid. When we get to the north, I will take you to the grassland. Just for a while now, Wan, okay?"
"Others have seen it, do I still want my reputation?" Lin Wan muttered feebly.
"There is no one else, don't worry, Zhou Chuan and the others are following." Lu Junzhao's eyes were full of smiles, and his tone was so gentle that it made people's hearts tremble, "Awan, I will take you to walk slowly, okay?"
Lin Wan lowered his head, his heart beating inexplicably hard, his mind full of panic and weakness, and finally he resigned himself to his fate and said "Yeah".
Lu Junzhao's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this. He hugged Lin Wan with joy and slowly rode his horse to Cishou Temple. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
