Three Car Rewards

Soon, the General's Mansion became extremely lively. Lin Shuran and Xu Junze also came to the front yard together, watching the children happily setting off firecrackers, clapping their hands and shouting excitedly around the fireworks, and the two of them also looked at each other.

Looking at it, a smile appeared on his face.

Against the bright firelight, this was the first time Lin Shuran saw a smile on Xu Junze's face. Perhaps it was the children's joyful atmosphere that infected her. She couldn't help but tiptoe to Xu Junze's ear and said with a smile: "You must not

You know you look good when you smile, so you don’t laugh often. You have to smile more often in the future!”

Xu Junze's eyes suddenly shimmered with dazzling light, like bright stars suddenly rising in the dark night. He looked intently at Lin Shuran, who took the initiative to approach him, with her shadow in his eyes.

Lin Shuran winked at Xu Junze mischievously, and then ran away quickly. At this time, Xu Junze looked at her with an expression that was too easy to sink, so she ran to set off fireworks with the children.

Xu Junze looked at her and Xu Mingchen, Xu Minghao and the others playing together, as if she had returned to her innocent childhood. If outsiders saw it, they might criticize her for being "unrespectable", but in his eyes, it seemed particularly precious.

Lin Shuran was so fresh and exciting that he was even more excited.

According to the New Year custom of the Jin Dynasty, one has to return to his parents' home on the second day of the first lunar month. However, Xu Junze has been busy with official duties, so he has not officially visited the Lin family after getting married.

Now he has begun to take Lin Shuran into his heart. Naturally, he attaches great importance to accompanying Lin Shuran back to her parents' home. He asked Xu An to prepare many gifts. However, although he is a general, he does not have any rare treasures in his hands.

Even the silver was used for other purposes.

He may be the poorest general in the Jin Dynasty now. In the past, he didn't think money was important. He thought that his salary was enough to give Xu Mingchen and the others a worry-free life. But now he doesn't want Lin Shuran to suffer injustice with him.

Want the best for her.

So before dawn, he had three empty carriages pulled into the palace. The eunuch on duty informed the emperor, who was still lying on the dragon bed, that General Xu had come to collect the rewards he had deposited with the emperor.

"Deposited rewards?" Emperor Zhao You was confused. Why didn't he remember what rewards he had deposited for Xu Junze?

At this time, Zhao You's close eunuch, Eunuch Qu, was busy reminding in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have always said that you would give a reward to General Xu, but he has shied away. Every time, he said that he would give it to you first. Now he is

Don’t you want to take this reward back?”

But he soon figured out the reason, because the three carriages filled with the emperor's rewards did not go back to the General's Mansion at all, but were delivered directly to the door of Taifu Lin's house. Today was the day when Xu Junze's wife Lin Shuran returned to her parents' home.

.

Eunuch Qu smiled slightly and shook his head. If someone else boldly asked for a reward from the emperor, it would arouse suspicion and displeasure, but General Xu seemed to be an exception in the emperor's heart.

"Husband, what should I do with this gift?" In just such a short time, many people in the capital knew that Xu Junze had someone pull an empty carriage to the palace to get a "reward". In the blink of an eye, the "reward" had arrived at his home again.

, Wen is worried about what outsiders will think.

Eunuch Qu also lowered his head and pursed his lips with a smile. As the emperor's personal eunuch, he had some understanding of the emperor. Even though this emperor had become the king of a country at a young age, his thoughts were most difficult to guess.

It was only when he faced Xu Junze, his sworn brother, that he showed some true temperament.

Eunuch Qu didn't say anything. He didn't understand what Xu Junze's coming to the emperor to ask for a reward had to do with who he cared about and whether he was alone or not.

"It means that the sworn brother has someone he really cares about in his heart!" The emperor said softly with distant eyes toward the dim sky outside the palace, "From now on, he may not be so lonely."

"Not to mention three cars, even if he comes with three more cars, I will fill them up for him, hahaha..." The emperor seemed to be very happy with Xu Junze's move. He put down the teacup and stood up suddenly and clapped his hands, with an expression on his face.

Feeling a little more relieved, he glanced at the smiling Eunuch Qu and said, "Do you know, this is the first time in my life that my sworn brother has asked me for something. Do you know what this means?"

In recent years, many people have tried to find ways to alienate the brotherly relationship between the emperor and Xu Junze, but none of them have succeeded. Instead, the relationship between the two has become more trusting.

Eunuch Qu quickly walked up to the laughing emperor, bowed his head and smiled too: "The general is really treating the emperor as an outsider. I heard that he had three empty carriages brought."

After Eunuch Qu's reminder, the emperor understood instantly, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. Then he laughed, got out of bed, walked to the chair in the bedroom, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his skin.

However, he continued to laugh while holding the tea cup, seemingly very happily.

Lin Youxing frowned as he looked at the three carts of imperial "gifts" that had just been pulled out of the palace and arrived at his doorstep. His uncle was too straightforward. How could anyone drag all the emperor's "gifts" to his father-in-law's doorstep?

Yes, what I know is that he values ​​his daughter, but what I don’t know is that he thinks he is deliberately trying to embarrass the Lin family.

Lin You waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is the filial piety of my daughter and son-in-law. What else can I do? Just accept the gifts and when they leave, add a cartload of gifts and send them all back. After all,

The Xu family has many sons, so we have to take care of them as we should."

Mrs. Wen nodded and had three carriages pulled into the mansion first. Then they parked them in the front yard and asked someone to guard them. No one was allowed to touch the contents of the carriages. She went to the Gongzhong warehouse and carefully selected a carriage.

After hearing about the gift, Ming also helped her choose a return gift for Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran only found out what Xu Junze had done early in the morning after she arrived at her parents' house. Xu Junze never revealed a word to her from beginning to end. She even went to see the three carts of "rewards" brought to the Lin family from the palace. All of them were rare.

Among the treasures I saw, not to mention anything else, there were six pieces of fine silk and satin from Qingyun Chuxiu.

"Sister, I can see that although my uncle has a colder temper and is not so approachable, he does not seem to be a cunning and cunning person. He is just sincere but not good at expressing himself. Your father said that he is in the military camp all year round.

, I don’t know how to be tactful and sophisticated, and I didn’t know how to deal with people. I didn’t believe it at first, but it seems to be the case today!” Mrs. Wen pulled Lin Shuran into her room to talk. Since the palace banquet, she had been worried about Lin Shuran in her heart, fearing that she would see her.

Later, Song Qinglun, who had a similar appearance to Gu Jingcheng, had some conflicts with Xu Junze because of this, so he tried to persuade her.
