Shen Yifeng stood still in place with some disbelief: "You? Go into the palace? Please give me a hand in marriage? Where do you think the palace is? You can go there just by asking?"
"You can go if you say so!" Steward Shen suddenly stood still, fumbled around on his body and took out a small bag of tips, and said to Shen Yifeng: "I have followed the Marquis and made military exploits on the battlefield! This is a token given to me by the late Emperor." After saying that, he took out a beautifully crafted golden unicorn small square seal from the brocade bag.
"This..." Shen Yifeng's eyes were opened. A unicorn was carved in great detail on the small gold seal, so he asked: "Old housekeeper! Why didn't you take out this treasure earlier?"
Butler Shen snorted coldly and said, "What are you using it for? Do you want to help Mrs. Shang?"
Shen Yifeng looked at Butler Shen and asked in disbelief: "Old Butler, you...how do you know about Lin Jingmo?"
Butler Shen shook his head, sighed and said: "You say you like the princess? Mr. Hou, you just can't let go of Mrs. Shang in your heart, right? What is the status of our Shen family in Southern Qi? How can you covet other people's families?" Where is the madam?"
"Old housekeeper, be careful!" Shen Yifeng surprisingly regained his seriousness, which he would only do when he mentioned Lin Jingmo.
Butler Shen continued: "Since the Marquis doesn't care about that lady, why not let the villain propose to His Majesty?"
"It's up to you!" Shen Yifeng seemed to be poked in a painful spot, so he walked away angrily.
Butler Shen looked at Shen Yifeng's leaving figure and had already guessed that Shen Yifeng had a gentle temper and would never get angry easily. Thinking of this, he put away the golden unicorn and walked to the warehouse. I am going to use some money to build a bath for Shen Yifeng.
……
Lin Jingmo didn't go out for several months. He just stayed in the side yard lazily. He only occasionally went back to Mrs. Shang's backyard to stay with her.
Lin Jingmo has lost relatives and confidants one after another, and now the only one who can help him is Qiaoxiang.
She went to Lin Yuanzhi's tomb every day to burn incense and asked for Lu Feicheng to return to the capital as soon as possible. Although her relationship with Shang Shixu had eased, Lin Jingmo shuddered at the thought of Shang Shixu once trying to kill her. Besides, he has done so many bad things, but after all, he is not a person worthy of being entrusted with his life. It seems that the only one left in this world is Brother Fei Cheng who is the most reliable.
Finally one afternoon, Lu Feicheng returned to the capital with a small group of Lu Jiajun.
Lu Anmin left a suicide note and hanged himself. The northern border was in chaos. Fortunately, Lu Feicheng led the Lu family's army to kill the enemy bravely, so that the Northern Yan army would not be overwhelmed.
Originally, Qi Xuanzhou asked Lu Feicheng to return to Beijing to explain the crimes his father had committed, and then issued an edict to punish the Lu family. However, when Lu Feicheng was about to enter Beijing, he happened to catch up with the Beiyan army to attack the northern border town. Lu Feicheng was delayed to protect the border. After a few days, after repelling the enemy troops, they rushed to the capital day and night.
As soon as he entered the capital, he was taken into the palace.
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not punish him. Instead, after he suffered all Lu Anmin's crimes, he allowed him to succeed him as the general of the northern border and continue to stay in the northern border to protect the border town.
After receiving the decree, Lu Feicheng left the palace again. He and his generals settled in the Lu Mansion in the capital for a few days before rushing to the north without stopping.
Standing under the magnolia tree in Lu Mansion Garden, Lu Feicheng thought of Lin Jingmo. Lin Jingmo has loved magnolia since she was a child. Magnolia flowers are elegant and beautiful, just like Lin Jingmo. She has been the kindest and softest girl since she was a child.
It's a pity that for some reason when she was a teenager, she was suddenly rumored to be a vicious woman with a vicious heart.
It was also under this magnolia tree that Lin Jingmo once asked him if he would take her to the north with him and if he could... marry her...
At that time, he was afraid that her vicious reputation, which had been widely circulated outside, would affect the reputation of the Lu family, so he hard-heartedly rejected her, and then left the capital and went to the north.
In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed, and now she has become someone else's wife.
Thinking of this, looking at the falling book leaves, Lu Feicheng couldn't help but sigh that things and people are different. The winter in Southern Qi is not long, and it is not as cold as the winter in the north. But at this moment, every time he thinks of being alienated from himself in the north, it is in line with the Shang Dynasty.
Lu Feicheng's heart began to freeze when he fell in love with Lin Jingmo.
It wasn't until someone interrupted his thoughts that Lu Feicheng was slowly brought back from his memories.
The visitor was an old servant of the Lu Mansion. He said to Lu Feicheng: "General, I heard that Mr. Lin passed away not long ago. Why don't we go see Miss Lin?"
Lu Feicheng looked into the distance and said with some disappointment: "Now that she is someone else's wife, is it possible that you want me to go to the Shang Mansion to see her?"
Hearing this, the old servant shook his head and said: "You have been childhood friends and share the same love as brother and sister. Her father is also a close friend of our family. Now that you have returned to the capital to see her, what's wrong with brother and sister?"<
/p>
"Brother and sister?" Lu Feicheng sneered and said fiercely: "How could we just be brother and sister? I have never regarded her as a sister. How do you know what I lost for her? In the end, she married someone else!" ……
Lin Jingmo was in the Shang Mansion. Qiao Xiang hurried back from outside, handed Lin Jingmo a letter and said: "Madam, the boy at the outer door said that someone sent a letter to Madam!"
Lin Jingmo looked at the familiar handwriting on it and gently opened the envelope.
After reading the letter, Lin Jingmo was overjoyed and thought to himself: "Brother Cheng, right or wrong..."
After that, she refolded the letter and put it in the envelope, and then put it in the drawer of the dresser.
Remembering the letter saying that Lu Feicheng wanted to see her, he quickly changed into the clothes he was wearing and walked out.
She took the Shang Mansion's carriage and arrived at General Lu's Mansion. She thought to herself: Now that she is married to another man, would it be possible to enter the General's Mansion in such a grand manner...
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of Lu Mansion was suddenly opened, and Lu Feicheng walked out with a smile and said, "Sister Jingmo."
Lin Jingmo bowed and saluted and said: "General Lu, I heard that thanks to you, the northern border was not defeated by Beiyan."
Lu Feicheng also bowed and clasped his fists in return and said: "My sister is serious, I am just inheriting my father's will." After saying that, he changed the subject and said: "I heard about Lin Shangshu, although I don't know the details of the matter. But I believe it.
His old man must have deeper considerations."
Lin Jingmo was stunned and asked: "Deeper?"
Lu Feicheng stretched out his hand and said to her: "Please come into the house and talk in detail."
Lin Jingmo followed Lu Feicheng into the Lu Mansion. In order not to provoke discussion, Lin Jingmo kept a distance from Lu Feicheng until he came to the courtyard of the Lu Mansion and saw the magnolia tree.
It seems that everything they do begins with magnolia flowers.
