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 excitedly around the fireworks and laughing and shouting, and the two of them also looked at each other, with smiles on their faces.

Against the backdrop of the brilliant firelight, Lin Shuran saw a smile on Xu Junze's face for the first time, perhaps it was the joyful atmosphere of the children that infected her, she couldn't help but tiptoe to Xu Junze's ear and said with a smile: "You must not know that you look good when you laugh, so you don't laugh often, you have to laugh often in the future!" ”

Xu Junze's eyes flashed with dazzling brilliance in an instant, like a bright starlight suddenly rising in the dark night, and he couldn't take his eyes off Lin Shuran, who took the initiative to approach him, his eyes were full of her shadow.

Lin Shuran winked at Xu Junze mischievously, and then ran away quickly, at this time Xu Junze's expression was too easy to sink when he was focused on her, and she ran to set off fireworks with the children.

Xu Junze watched her play with Xu Mingchen and Xu Minghao, as if she had also returned to her innocent childhood, if outsiders saw her, they might criticize her for saying "not dignified", but in his eyes, it was particularly precious, so Lin Shuran was alive, which made him even more excited.

The New Year's custom of the Jin Dynasty is to go back to his parents' house on the second day of the first lunar month, and Xu Junze has been entangled in official business, and he has not officially visited the Lin family after getting married.

Now that he has begun to take Lin Shuran to heart, he naturally attaches great importance to accompanying Lin Shuran back to his parents' house this time, and asked Xu An to prepare a lot of gifts, but although he is a general, he has no rare treasures in his hands, and even the silver is used for other purposes.

He may be the poorest general in the Jin Dynasty now, he didn't think that silver money was important before, and he thought that his money was enough to give Xu Mingchen and them a worry-free life, but now he didn't want Lin Shuran to be wronged with him, he just wanted to give her the best.

So before dawn, he asked people to pull three empty carriages into the palace, and the eunuch on duty told the emperor who was still lying on the dragon bed, saying that General Xu had come to pull him to deposit the reward for the emperor.

"The reward of deposit?" Emperor Zhao You was confused, why didn't he remember what rewards he had saved for Xu Junze!

At this time, Zhao You's close eunuch Gonggong Qu was busy reminding in a whisper: "Your Majesty, you have always said that you would give General Xu a reward before, but he shirked it, and every time he said that he would put it here for you first, now is he going to take this reward back?" ”

After this reminder from Gonggong Qu, the emperor instantly understood, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and then laughed, turned over and got out of bed and walked to the chair in the dormitory to sit down, and poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat, but he continued to laugh with the teacup, which seemed to be very happy.

Gonggong Qu also lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled, as the emperor's personal eunuch, he still knows something about the emperor, don't look at this emperor who became the king of a country at a young age, usually his mind is the most difficult to guess, and only when facing Xu Junze, the righteous brother, will he show some true temperament.

Over the years, many people have tried to find a way to separate the brotherhood between the emperor and Xu Junze, but none of them succeeded, but the relationship between the two has become more and more firm and trusting.

Gonggong Qu hurriedly walked up to the laughing emperor, bowed his head and bent down and said with a smile: "The general is really taking the emperor as an outsider, and the servant heard that he had three empty carriages pulled by him." ”

"Don't say it's three, it's just three more, I will fill it for him, hahaha......" The emperor seemed to be very happy with Xu Junze's move, put down the teacup and stood up violently and slapped his palm, the expression on his face was also a little more pleased, and glanced at the smiling Gonggong Qu, "Do you know, this is the first time in my life that my brother opened his mouth to ask me for something, do you know what it means?" ”

Gonggong Qu smiled slightly and shook his head, if someone else was so bold to ask for a reward from the emperor, it would cause some suspicion and unhappiness, but this General Xu seemed to be an exception in the emperor's heart.

"It means that there is someone in the righteous brother's heart that he starts to really care about!" The Emperor whispered to the glimmering sky outside the hall with a distant gaze, "From now on, he may not be so lonely." ”

Gonggong Qu didn't speak, he didn't understand what Xu Junze had to do with who he cared about and whether he was lonely or not.

But soon he figured out the reason, because the three carriages filled with the emperor's reward did not return to the General's Mansion at all, but were directly delivered to the door of Mrs. Lin's house, and today is the day when Xu Junze's wife Lin Shuran returned to her parents' house.

Looking at the three-car imperial gift "gift" that had just been pulled out of the palace and arrived at the door of his house, Lin Youxing frowned, his uncle was too direct, how could anyone pull the emperor's "reward" to his father-in-law's door, knowing that he valued his daughter, and those who didn't know thought that he was deliberately trying to embarrass the Lin family.

"Husband, what should I do with this gift?" After such a short period of work, many people in the capital knew that Xu Junze asked people to pull an empty carriage to the palace to ask for a "reward", and in a blink of an eye, this "reward" arrived at his own home, and what Wen was worried about was what outsiders would think.

Lin You waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is a piece of filial piety for daughters and sons-in-law, what else can I do, accept the gifts, and when they leave, add another car of gifts, and send them all back, after all, the Xu family has many sons, we should help and have to help." ”

Wen nodded, asked people to pull the three carriages into the house first, and then parked in the front yard, found a special person to guard, and no one was allowed to move the things in the carriage, and went to the treasury of the public middle school to carefully select a cart of gifts, and after Ming heard about it, he also helped her pick up a gift for Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran only knew what Xu Junze did early in the morning after arriving at her mother's house, and Xu Junze didn't reveal half a sentence to her from beginning to end, she also went to see the three cars of "rewards" pulled from the palace to the Lin family, which are all rare treasures, not to mention anything else, that is, there are six fine silk horses from Qingyun.

"Sister, my mother can see that although my aunt is colder and not so close, he doesn't look like a treacherous and cunning person, but he is just sincere but not good at expressing it, your father said that he is in the barracks all the year round, and he doesn't know how to be sleek and sophisticated, and he doesn't believe it at first, but today it seems to be the case!" Wen pulled Lin Shuran into her room to speak, since the palace banquet, she has actually been very worried about Lin Shuran in her heart, afraid that after she sees Song Qinglun, who is similar to Gu Jingcheng, she will have some estrangement and contradiction with Xu Junze, so she wants to persuade her.
