Under his guidance, he stepped into the gate of the mansion, passed through the front yard and the middle courtyard with a depressed scenery in late autumn, and soon arrived at the gate of the Kaiju Garden in the backyard.

At this time, the two black lacquered wooden doors were open, and from time to time domestic servants and maids came in and out with lacquered plates containing various objects. When they saw them, they bowed their heads and saluted.

Jiang Shu slowly waved his hand at them, and turned his head to look at Zhu Changxun beside him: "What are you...... What are you doing? ”

"Moved in with you," Zhu Changxun's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his lips tugged lightly, "Now that this king is back, I can't let you continue to stay alone in the empty room." ”

"......" Jiang Shu's face turned red suddenly, the corners of his lips moved, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Don't you want to know why this king named this courtyard the Garden of Gathering?" Seeing her reaction, Zhu Changxun chuckled in a low voice, led her to stop, and pointed with his other hand to the plaque hanging on the lintel in front of him.

"Hmm," glancing at the plaque, Jiang Shu nodded slightly, "Why?" ”

"Look at the word 'Kai', which 'Kai' is it?" Zhu Changxun didn't answer directly, his fingertips moved to the first word on the plaque, and asked with a light smile.

"...... 'white head and old together'." Jiang Shu took a closer look, and a touch of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Zhu Changxun nodded with a smile, and his fingertips moved slightly: "Look at this 'gathering' again." ”

"It's not a 'gathering' of enemies." Almost without thinking about it, Jiang Shu blurted out.

“…… It is also the 'gathering' of 'eternal gathering'," Zhu Changxun's expression stiffened slightly, turned his head to look at her, and met her eyes, "Because, this king wants to grow old with you, and eternal gathering is inseparable-"

"......" Jiang Shu's heart was shocked, "But, at that time...... You've ...... already."

When he named this courtyard, it was May of the 36th year of Wanli, and at that time, they had only known each other for three months......

"Yes, at that time, I had already decided that I wanted to spend my life with you." Zhu Changxun looked at her with a serious expression.

"That'...... On the painting boat in Shichahai Houhai that day, when Su Yuan challenged me, why didn't you relieve me? Jiang Shu groaned slightly and asked puzzledly.

"Not long ago, weren't you said by the imperial grandmother that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented'?" Zhu Changxun thought for a while and said, "I don't really believe that you really have to be a talentless person, so I want to see what you are capable of." ”

“…… You are really not pleasing to people," Jiang Shu frowned, "You should say that you already know that I am not as the Queen Mother said, and you want to use this to make me perform and win back a game, then maybe I will be very moved." ”

Zhu Changxun was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal, and looked at her with staring eyes: "I know that you have always suspected that I married you for your father's position, so I made an oath to myself, I will not lie to you, or I will say it bluntly, and if I can't say it, I will hide it." ”

"......" Seeing his very affectionate look, Jiang Shu's eyes were slightly moist.

"Alright, let's go in and see how they set up their bedroom." Zhu Changxun thoughtfully rolled up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes for her, and turned his head to look at the open courtyard door.

"No, you can't move here now." Jiang Shu hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

"Why?" Zhu Changxun looked back at her, "Could it be that at this time, you still have some scruples about me?" ”

"No, it's not," Jiang Shu quickly shook his head, hesitated slightly, took his hand, and reached into his slightly bulging lower abdomen, which could barely be seen through the thick skirt.
