Chapter 72 Plum Blossom Appreciation

Seven days before New Year's Eve, the Marquis of Zhenbei sent a greeting card to Feng Yu and invited Fengyu to come to the house to have a chat. Two days ago, she had just sent a New Year's gift to the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion, so it was reasonable for Mrs. Hou to send a greeting card.

What she didn't expect was that Xie Xun came to pick her up in person and led a team of cavalry to stand in front of the mansion. The young marquis was wearing a white horse and black clothes. The falling snow fell on his brows, making him look even colder than ice. Feng Yu stood in front of the door and looked at him.

, the two looked at each other from a distance, silently. This was the first time they met since the palace banquet. Feng Yu's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and she avoided those passionate and cold eyes.

Feng Yu was sitting in the carriage with a handkerchief rolled up in both hands. Xie Xun was riding the horse outside. Feng Yu could hear the sound of the horse's hooves chasing the wind. It was riding through the wind and snow, steady and powerful.

Xie Xun knew her well enough, would he suspect that she was involved with Uncle Lu Guo? Feng Yu raised her lips, what would happen if he knew?

In the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Lan, and Mrs. Peony were all in the main hall. Fengyu was caught in the wind and snow when she came in, and fine snowflakes fell on her temples. She was dressed in red and was as white as snow. Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Peony were both

Her eyes lit up in surprise, what a beautiful little girl.

Xie Xun stood beside her, like a couple coming to meet their elders. Mrs. Hou smiled when she saw her, "Auntie, come in quickly and have a sip of hot tea."

Qiuxiang and Chunlu walked behind holding gift boxes. Mrs. Hou's maid took the gift boxes and took them to rest. Fengyu stepped forward to salute Mrs. Hou and the two ladies.

After Xie Xun returned to the capital after being injured, Feng Yu never came to the Hou Mansion. Except when Xie Xun's soul passed through her, she hadn't seen Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Mudan for two years. The two were extremely enthusiastic. When Mrs. Lan heard that Feng Yu was made things difficult for her at the palace banquet, she felt pity for her.

No wonder, such a beautiful little girl is so soft and soft, who would be willing to say a harsh word.

There were charcoal burning in the hall and it was hotter than usual. Xie Xun took off his cloak and threw it to the maid. The ladies didn't pay attention to him. He peeled walnuts and watched the three elders of his family surrounding Feng Yu asking questions. Mrs. Peony also picked a pick.

Peeling the fruit and feeding it to her, Feng Yu said it was delicious, and Mrs. Peony smiled like a flower. A few people were too enthusiastic, and the little girl was a little shy in a rare case. She answered all questions, and was well-behaved and soft. Xie Xun raised his lips,

This black-hearted fox can really please the elders.

Feng Yu was very happy knowing that the three ladies all liked her sister and loved the house and the crow. In the future, when her sister married into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the harp and harp would play harmoniously, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would live in harmony.

There is a large plum grove in the Marquis Mansion in Zhenbei, which is especially beautiful when the flowers are in bloom. After the three ladies exchanged greetings with Feng Yu, they wanted to take her to enjoy the flowers. Feng Yu also loved plum blossoms, but the wind could not blow them, and the autumn fragrance and

Spring dew always cuts plum blossoms and puts them in bottles. She admires them indoors or sits by the window to enjoy the flowers.

The three ladies warmly invited each other, but Feng Yu couldn't resist her hospitality.

Xie Xun said lazily, "She was blowing in the plum garden for a quarter of an hour. She can lie down for three days with a high fever when she returns home, so don't worry about it."

Mrs. Hou was slightly startled. She had heard that Feng Yu was weak, but when she came in, she looked rosy and healthy. She didn't expect that she would be so weak that she couldn't blow the wind.

Mrs. Lan said, "Then let's play in the palace. Can Ayu play leaf cards?"

"Yes." Fengyu still played the leaf cards very well. Qiuxiang and Chunlu couldn't beat her even with cheating.

Mrs. Hou invited Fengyu to the Hou Mansion just to talk about family affairs. She wanted to take her to enjoy the plum blossoms, but there was no serious business. Fengyu couldn't blow the wind, so they took her to play leaf cards in the palace.

Xie Xun saw them starting to play cards, and after saying hello in low spirits, he left the main hall. Feng Yu looked at his tall and handsome back, until the hem of his clothes disappeared in the corridor, and her eyes moved to the leaf cards.

Mrs. Mudan asked, "Ayu, have you and Zhixu known each other for a long time?"

"Not familiar." Feng Yu felt guilty. If Mrs. Hou knew that Xie Xun's leg was broken because of her, she might not be so kind.

"Is it true that you know even the trivial details that you are susceptible to illness due to wind exposure?" Mrs. Lan had never seen Xie Xun care so much about anyone.

Feng Yu secretly thought that the young Marquis would care about her because he had suffered from illness when his spirit penetrated her.

"I'm really unfamiliar." Her eyes were calm and clear, and the ladies believed her.

Feng Yu had been playing leaf cards with the ladies for a long time. There were some trivial matters in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei. The nuns in the courtyard came to look for them. Mrs. Hou took Mrs. Peony to deal with them. After not returning for a long time, Mrs. Lan noticed something was wrong and asked Feng Yu to go to the palace first.

She sat down and returned as soon as she went. The charcoal fire in the hall was burning brightly, and Feng Yu felt a little bored. She wrapped herself in a cloak and relaxed on the corridor. Suddenly she smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms. Feng Yu walked along the corridor and saw a plum forest.

Snow is falling, and there is already snow on the red plum branches. The red and white are intertwined, and the faint fragrance floats. A wooden sign for blessing is hung on the branch of each tree. There is sunshine in the afternoon, and the cold wind is slightly gentle. Feng Yu steps on it

Walking slowly in the plum forest with Qingxue, looking at the wooden signs curiously.

The wooden plaque reads the Great Victory of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry, and is signed Ru Lan, Mrs. Lan.

Fengyu looked at the wooden sign on another tree.

Zhenbei Iron Cavalry won a great victory, and the inscription was peony.

Feng Yu looked at a dozen wooden plaques, all of them were for great successes, and were inscribed by the three ladies in the mansion. The cold wind blew by, and the wooden plaques followed the wind to the east, which was the most sincere blessing among the falling flowers.

"There is a rumor in Sangnan that he planted a plum tree with his own hands and hung a wooden prayer sign on the tree. When the flowers bloom, the Flower God will receive blessings from the world. Aunt Peony is from Sangnan and she firmly believes this rumor.

Every year, my mother and two aunts would plant a plum tree with their own hands and hang a wooden sign announcing the great victory of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, hoping that the border soldiers would return home victorious as soon as possible." Xie Xun stood quietly among the flowers, wearing a black robe and girdling his waist, looking like an elegant young man.

"Do you believe it?" Feng Yu looked at the young man walking among the flowers.

"If the prayers really come true, plum blossoms will have covered every corner of Yanyang." Xie Xun said calmly, "But the relatives of the soldiers are worried about them and can do nothing but pray sincerely."

Feng Yu stretched out her hand, and the fallen flowers floated in her palm. Her expression was dark, "The soldiers never take off their saddles, and their armor never leaves their side. I am approaching old age. When will I return to my hometown? My father and mother are getting older slowly in my memory. In fact, from childhood to adulthood,

I rarely see them, they come and go in a hurry. I look forward to them going home, but I can only watch them leave. When I was a child, I always hoped that they would return victoriously and that there would be no more wars in Ningzhou."

She is a person who prays, but her wishes never come true.

"Farewell, fireworks every year, who doesn't look forward to it?"

Xie Xun stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the flowers. In the sparse shadows in the plum blossom forest, the young general who once fought in the world was trapped in the prosperous Kyoto due to his injuries. Like a dragon trapped in a shallow beach, his ambition is hard to realize. In terms of emotion and reason,

Xie Xun should hate her, but she owes Xie Xun a thank you.

"Little Marquis, thank you for saving me at the palace banquet." Feng Yu saluted him.

Xie Xun leaned under the plum tree and looked at Feng Yu with interest. He hadn't even settled the accounts with Feng Yu about what happened at the palace banquet, but she dared to bring it up, "Feng Yu, you really do what you say, your life hangs by a thread."

You will indeed use me as compensation. When you take off the soul-suppressing beads, are you not afraid that I will retaliate against you afterwards?"
