Lu Zhendong put down the cup in his hand, reached out and pulled Lan Xin's hand, wrapped the soft little hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Actually, you can come over today to give me the best gift." ”

He leaned back in his chair, and his voice was low and mellow, with an indescribable laziness.

Such a Lu Zhendong made Lan Xin blush. She opened her eyes and pouted, "Aren't you curious?"

"Hehe!" Lu Zhendong said with a low chuckle: "You moved so many things over at once, how can I guess?!" he raised his chin and looked at the things that the people outside were carrying from Lan Xin's carriage. There was an indescribable pampering in his voice.

Lan Xin followed his gaze, glanced out the window, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Those are just for outsiders to see." A real gift, with me. ”

"Oh?" Lu Zhendong looked at Lan Xin in surprise, his eyes lit up, and he almost danced.

Lan Xin looked at the person opposite, happy like a child, and shook his head helplessly. Reaching out and taking out a small box the size of a palm from his cuffs, he pushed it over with a smile, "No, it's here." She was sure that he would like the contents of it.

"What kind of good thing?" Lu Zhendong picked up the box with a smile and opened it gently. Looking at the neatly folded piece of white silk, he pursed the corners of his mouth, and guessed in his heart that it should be a handkerchief embroidered by Lan Xin.

But when he shook off, he was immediately surprised! The whole person seemed to be frozen, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "This ······ This ······ This is ······ The production diagram of the chain crossbow? Lan Xin, you ·······"

"What's wrong, don't you like it?" Lan Xin saw that although his face was surprised, he was not half happy. The smile on his face froze, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked in surprise, "When I was on the boat, I saw that when you saw this crossbow, you seemed very interested, I thought you would like it." ”

Seeing Lan Xin's cautious and somewhat lost look, Lu Zhendong's complexion softened a little, put his hand on hers, and whispered, "You're not wrong, I'm indeed interested in this crossbow." But······ But I don't want you to be embarrassed. Although I don't know the relationship between Lan Yi and the Yu family, I don't want you to beg them for my sake. ”

"Ouch, the relationship is because of this!" Lan Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "What else should I be! You're right, they do have some connections with the Yu family, but ······ I didn't ask for them, and I didn't exchange them for anything.

At first, when we were at sea, we encountered some pirates. By the way, the same people who attacked the impostor's fleet. A batch of chain crossbows was intercepted from them. Someone in Lan Yi's family was good at tricks, so he took the chain crossbow away. But I said that after the research is completed, I will give me a copy of the drawings. ”

Lan Xin's words are half-truths and half-truths. There was nothing wrong with giving the chain crossbow to Lan Yi at the beginning, because there was the Mo family, and the production of a new chain crossbow was just around the corner. And the people of the Mo family have indeed lived up to expectations, not only building the chain crossbow, but also improving it.

After Lan Xin got the drawings, he was worried that he would be seen to have the shadow of the Mo family, so he scribbled and corrected, deleted, and subtracted. In this way, no traces of the Mo family can be seen, and the coherence of the crossbow is not affected.

"So, you can use this drawing with confidence. Immediately, Lan Xin blinked his eyes and asked as if he was invited, "How is it, are you still satisfied with this birthday gift?"

Lu Zhendong looked at her little face with a big slap on her back, her big watery eyes, flickering, and she looked like she was begging for praise. Her eyes were about to soften the water, and she scratched her delicate little nose dotingly, and said with a smile: "Well, I know that Lan Xin is the best for me." ”

Lan Xin blinked his eyes, tilted his head to look at him, and asked suspiciously, "But, why didn't I see a hint of joy on your face?"

Lu Zhendong said softly: "How can there be······?" At Shang Lanxin's burning eyes, he was finally defeated, shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair, "Little girl, you are so shrewd." ”

Lan Xin turned his head to avoid his hand, and the meaning was obvious: I want to know the truth, don't find a reason to fool me!

Lu Zhendong neatly folded the white silk, put it back into the box, and gently closed the lid. He looked at Lan Xin and whispered, "You know, I was very naughty when I was a child, and I often made my father and mother angry. Once, he even carried them on his back and went out to fight pirates.

Yang Huan and Liu Cheng and I returned triumphantly. The emperor didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly summoned me over. He gave me a jade pendant and told me that I could take it to him whenever I wanted. He would grant me a request. ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhendong took off a jade pendant from his neck and gently put it into Lan Xin's hand.

Lan Xin gently held the jade pendant in his hand, which still carried Lu Zhendong's body temperature, and even had a faint smell of cold rosin. This is a fine piece of mutton fat jade, carved with a blooming lotus flower.

Lan Xin held it up and looked at the light. The jade pendant is not marked except for being transparent. Lan Xin knew that the meaning of this jade pendant was to reward the person and a symbol of glory.

She put the jade pendant back into Lu Zhendong's hand and asked softly, "When I went to the capital this time, someone mentioned this jade pendant?"

Lu Zhendong was accustomed to Lan Xin's intelligence, he nodded and said: "Well, when I entered Beijing last year, someone found me, and the meaning of the words was to ask the emperor for an official and a half-position with a jade pendant." ”

"You refused?" Lan Xin asked, although it was a question sentence, but in an affirmative tone.

"Hmm!" Lu Zhendong nodded and admitted, "I was thinking that I would use this jade pendant to ask the emperor to give the two of us a ······ marriage."

"Marriage?" Lan Xin asked in surprise, seeing Lu Zhendong nodding, she said with a smile, "How is this possible? Although I have never been to the capital, I know some about these things." We have no merit and no name, what reason does the emperor have to give us a marriage?!"

Lu Zhendong said with a smile: "This is the emperor's business, we don't need to worry about it." I don't want to wronged you, I just want you to marry me in style. ”

Lan Xin looked at his reflection in his clear eyes, nodded and said, "I believe in you." ”
