Chapter 63
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 and laughing excitedly around the fireworks, the two also looked at each other Looked, there was a smile on his face.

Against the backdrop of the brilliant fire, it was the first time Lin Shuran saw a smile on Xu Junze's face. Perhaps it was the joyful atmosphere of the children that infected her. She couldn't help but tiptoed to Xu Junze's ear and smiled and said, "You must not I know that I look good when I smile, so I don’t laugh often, in the future you have to laugh more often!”

Xu Junze's eyes suddenly shone with dazzling brilliance, like a bright star suddenly rising in the dark night, he stared intently at Lin Shuran who approached him proactively, her eyes were full of her shadow.

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

Xu Junze looked at her playing with Xu Mingchen and Xu Minghao, as if she had returned to her innocent childhood. If outsiders saw her, they might criticize her as "immodest", but in his eyes, it was especially precious. Lin Shuran is fresh and makes his heart beat even more.

According to the New Year's custom in the Jin Dynasty, one would return to her natal family on the second day of the first lunar month, and because Xu Junze was always busy with official duties, he hadn't formally visited Lin's family after getting married.

Now that he has begun to take Lin Shuran seriously, he naturally attaches great importance to accompanying Lin Shuran back to her mother's house this time, and asked Xu An to prepare a lot of gifts, but although he is a general, he doesn't have any rare treasures in his hand. Even the silver was used for other purposes.

He may be the poorest general in the Jin Dynasty now. He didn't think that money was important before, and thought that his salary was enough to give Xu Mingchen and the others a comfortable life, but now he didn't want Lin Shuran to be wronged by him. Want the best for her.

So before dawn he had someone pull three empty carriages into the palace, and the eunuch on duty reported to the emperor who was still lying on the dragon bed, saying that it was General Xu who had come to fetch the reward he had deposited with the emperor.

"The reward deposited?" Emperor Zhao You was at a loss, why didn't he remember what reward he had deposited for Xu Junze!
At this time, Zhao You's close eunuch, Eunuch Qu, hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have always said that you want to reward General Xu, but he shirked it. Every time you say to put it at your place first, now he is Don't you want to take this reward back?"

After being reminded by Eunuch Qu, the emperor instantly understood, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. Then he laughed, got out of bed, sat down on a chair in the bedroom, and poured himself a cup of tea to moisten himself. Throat, but continued to laugh with the teacup, it seemed very carefree.

Eunuch Qu also lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled. As the emperor's personal eunuch, he still knows a little about the emperor. Don't look at the emperor who has become the king of a country at a young age. Usually, his mind is the most difficult to guess. Only when facing Xu Junze, a righteous brother, will he show some true temperament.

Over the years, many people have tried to separate the brotherhood between the emperor and Xu Junze, but none of them succeeded, and instead made the relationship between the two more firm and trusting.

Eunuch Qu hurried up to the laughing emperor, bowed his head and smiled and said, "The general is really treating the emperor as an outsider. I heard that he had three empty carriages pulled by someone."

"Don't say it's three cars, even if there are three more cars, I'll fill him up too, hahaha..." The emperor seemed very happy with Xu Junze's move, put down the teacup and stood up abruptly, clapping his hands, the expression on his face also changed. Feeling more relieved, he glanced at the smiling Eunuch Qu, "Do you know, this is the first time in my life that my brother-in-law asked me for something. Do you know what it means?"

Eunuch Qu smiled slightly and shook his head. If someone else boldly asked the emperor for a reward, it would cause suspicion and displeasure, but General Xu seemed to be an exception in the emperor's mind.

"It means that brother Yi has someone he really cares about!" The emperor whispered to the shimmering sky outside the palace with distant eyes, "From now on, he may not be so lonely."

Eunuch Qu didn't speak, he didn't understand what Xu Junze had to do with who he cared about and whether he was alone or not when he came to ask the emperor for a reward.

But soon he figured out the reason, because the three carriages filled with the emperor's reward did not go back to the General's Mansion at all, but were delivered directly to Taifu Lin's house. Today is the day when Xu Junze's wife, Lin Shuran, returns to her mother's house .

Lin Youxing frowned when he saw the three carts of imperial "gifts" that had just been pulled out of the palace and arrived at the door of his own house. His son-in-law was too straightforward. How could anyone bring all the "rewards" from the emperor to his father-in-law's doorstep? Yes, what he knew was that he valued his daughter, but those who didn't know thought he was deliberately embarrassing the Lin family.

"Husband, what should I do with this gift?" In just a short while, many people in the capital knew that Xu Junze had sent an empty carriage to the palace to ask for a "reward". , Wen's distress is how outsiders will see it.

Lin Youxing waved his hand, and said with a smile: "This is the filial piety of my daughter and son-in-law. What else can I do? Accept the gift, and when they leave, add a cart full of gifts and send them back. After all The Xu family has many sons, we should help and have to help."

Wen Shi nodded, and asked people to pull the three carriages into the mansion first, and then parked in the front yard, and asked someone to guard them. No one was allowed to touch the things in the carriages, and he went to the public warehouse to carefully select a carriage. Ming's gift, after hearing about it, Ming also helped her choose a gift for Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran didn't know what Xu Junze had done early in the morning until she arrived at her natal family, and Xu Junze never revealed a word to her from the beginning to the end. She even went to see the three carts of "rewards" that were pulled from the palace to Lin's house. The baby I saw, among other things, there are six pieces of high-quality silk and satin from Qingyun Chuxiu.

"However, sister, mother can tell that although my uncle has a cold temper and is not so close, he doesn't look like a cunning and cunning person. He just has a sincere heart but is not good at expressing it. Your father said that he has been in the military camp all year round. , I don’t know how to be tactful and sophisticated, and I didn’t believe it at the beginning, but it seems to be the case today!” Wen pulled Lin Shuran into her room to talk, and since the palace banquet, she has been worried about Lin Shuran in her heart, afraid that she will see him. Song Qinglun, who was similar in appearance to Gu Jingcheng, would have some estrangement and conflicts with Xu Junze because of this, so he wanted to persuade her a thing or two.
