In the spring sunshine in March, looking at the mountains is like a painting, and looking at the water is like a mirror.
The spring breeze is blowing, and the colorful colors are always dizzying.
Pei Shan took Xu Yanxin to the mountain path, looking for traces of trampling by passers-by. Along the way, butterflies were flying, bees were quiescent, and the spring was full of joy, which made people feel comfortable.
Soon, they sat down on a clean rock, next to a mountain stream, with a gurgling stream and green grass. There were also leaves picked by people for drinking water, which showed that people came to this place often.
Climb high and look into the distance. The sky is clear and the smoke is curling up in the distance. In the vast fields of rapeseed flowers, and further up are the scorching peach blossoms. This scene intersects with the gray tile eaves. The fireworks and the beautiful scenery are completely natural, which makes people endure.
I can't help but yearn for it.
Pei Shan held Xu Yanxin's hand and held it tightly. He knew that their future life would probably be like this.
Half fireworks, half warm sun.
Just like Master and Mistress, peaceful and quiet, gentle and considerate.
Xu Yanxin looked at him, Pei Shan, and saw him looking longingly at the village in the distance. His face burned for a moment, and he lowered his head shyly.
This guy isn't thinking about their married life, is he?
"Pei Shan...you..."
Xu Yan wanted to talk to him, but she felt rude before speaking. She didn't know what to say at all?
Pei Shan let go of her hand and stood up and said, "Wait for me here while I pick some mountain flowers for my wife. She likes these flowers in the mountains and forests the most."
Xu Yanxin nodded, feeling suddenly lost.
She also wanted to go with Pei Shan, but she hoped that the flowers Pei Shan picked were for her.
But these thoughts passed away in a flash, and I saw Pei Shan walking among the shadows of the trees, his strong figure rising and falling, and his steps steady, giving people a very reliable feeling.
She held her face and thought with satisfaction that if it weren't for Lu Yunhong and his wife, she might never see Pei Shan in her life.
And now, this man will be hers from now on.
"Pei Shan, let's go together!"
Xu Yanxin said and went to pick some.
Soon, she walked to Pei Shan and saw him weaving a garland.
Very beautiful azaleas, each blooming in full bloom and dazzling.
Pei Shan handed it to her and asked, "How is it?"
Xu Yan thought: "It's very beautiful, but if you give it to your wife, your master will be jealous, right?"
Pei Shan couldn't help laughing, and nodded, affirming: "Yes, he can!"
Xu Yanxin also smiled, took the wreath, and said, "I'd better give it to you. I'll tell your wife secretly that you gave it to her."
Pei Shan shook his head and took the wreath back.
Seeing this, Xu Yanxin whispered: "Pei Shan, can't I take your place?"
"After all, if Mistress and Master have a conflict, Master will still go to comfort you, but she can't bear to blame you. What will you do then?"
"We can't just rely on Master's wife's liking and do whatever we want, right?"
Pei Shan looked at Xu Yanxin who was carefully guiding him. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, showing a gentle smile, and the light in his eyes gradually became hot.
He put the garland on Xu Yanxin's head. When she was surprised, he said, "How about I pick the flowers for Mistress and give them to Master to weave them?"
"I made this up for you."
Xu Yanxin touched the delicate petals, fearing that they would accidentally be pinched off. She withdrew her hand and did not dare to move. She looked naive.
But just now, she was such a smart girl?
Pei Shan couldn't help but laugh, leaned over slightly, and pecked her on the cheek.
This wanton move suddenly made Xu Yan blush. She stretched out her hand to push Pei Shan's hand away, but the fist she just clenched fell apart when it touched Pei Shan's body. She couldn't hold it at all.
On the contrary, it was Pei Shan who easily held her hand and pulled her into his arms.
In an instant, the man's chest was close to her, and she felt the toughness of his body, which was very different from hers. He looked very tall and strong, making it impossible for her to break away.
Xu Yan was flustered and at a loss.
Pei Shan said: "You are right, we cannot rely on Master's wife's liking at the expense of Master's feelings. They are all equally important to me."
"But you are also very important to me."
As Pei Shan spoke, he couldn't help but lean forward and use his hands slightly.
His gratitude to his master and his wife cannot be described in words. But he also hopes that his other half can understand his feelings instead of blindly being suspicious.
Why she is attracted to Yan Xin may be because she always thinks about problems from other people's perspective, and her trust in him remains the same.
He didn't dare to think, what if the person next to him spoke ill of his master and mistress every day, and said how bad the Lu family was if he was not satisfied? Would he still be able to achieve harmony between husband and wife, and respect each other as guests?
Fortunately, Yan Xin is not that kind of person.
She was fine, better than he imagined.
…
When Xu Yanxin went back with the wreath, Lu Yunzhu had already returned.
She was half leaning on the bed, rubbing her red ankles, humming softly, but her eyes looked at the wreath Xu Yanxin brought back from time to time.
"Pei Shan made it up for you?"
Xu Yanxin nodded.
Lu Yunzhu said: "It is said that there are many loveless lovers in the world, and you can bump into her every time you go out. But the love in our family is deep, and there are still people who will never stop pampering their wives."
Xu Yanxin sat next to Lu Yunzhu, looked at her swollen ankle and said, "How did you do it?"
Lu Yunzhu was stunned. How dare she say that he was injured because he chased her and Pei Shancai?
He could only say: "I accidentally sprained my foot, it's okay."
"You haven't said yet, are you dissatisfied with Pei Shanman?"
Xu Yan thought for a while and said seriously: "Being with him, I felt that the years were peaceful before, but there is still something missing?"
"But today, I understand, maybe I have less expectations?"
Lu Yunzhu looked at Xu Yanxin's shy face and joked with a smile: "He made up for you today??"
Xu Yanxin didn't answer. She felt that Pei Shan was a little different today than before.
It's like, there are some private thoughts in this world, right? But he is as pure as the warm sun, so perfect that it is difficult for her to get close.
Lu Yunzhu said with a smile: "It seems that my sister-in-law was right to bring you out. You must let Pei Shan know what it feels like to miss you so much that he will cherish you."
"But I'm miserable, my foot is injured, and my elder brother is here too."
"In our family, the person I fear the most is him. My parents don't care about me, and my sister-in-law also indulges me, but my eldest brother... hum!"
Xu Yanxin smiled and said: "Isn't Master Huang here? He doesn't work either?"
Lu Yunzhu said: "He is leaving after dinner. There is something going on in the yamen, so he can't stay out for too long."
"Their Dali Temple is very busy, investigating cases all day long. I have never seen him come to my elder brother for tea as often as Brother Ji does."
Xu Yan thought for a moment and said, "My uncle is also very busy, but he still finds time to play chess with my second uncle and teach my elder brother how to read."
"I think Mr. Huang is quite polite and I don't think it's good to come and disturb him often."
Lu Yunzhu nodded and said, "I think so too."
When he finished speaking, he seemed a little disappointed and his temperament was gloomy.
When Xu Yanxin saw this, his eyes moved slightly, and then he smiled and said: "Although this is the case, it still depends on whether it is intentional or not."
"What?" Lu Yunzhu didn't understand.
Xu Yanxin pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word.
