The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

When they were thirty, the Zuo family and the Jiang family gathered together and had a reunion dinner.

Zuo Zimo bought a lot of fireworks and set them off in the yard for half an hour. Zuo Xiangning also set off fireworks in the yard with everyone.

After all the elders went to bed, Zuo Zixi, his wife, and several younger siblings stayed in the main room in the front yard to watch the New Year.

Talking about the fuss, it wasn't until dawn that Zuo Xiangning went back to take a nap.

This was the liveliest and happiest year she had ever lived, but when she was lying in bed, she thought of Ling Xiao who was far away in a foreign country, but she felt empty inside.

When she got up in the morning, as soon as she opened her eyes, Bingyu smiled and handed Zuo Xiangning a red box, "This is the gift prepared by the Marquis for you."

"Master Hou is back?" Zuo Xiangning's eyes lit up.

"No," Bingyu said with a smile, "The Marquis prepared this in advance and asked me to give it to you on New Year's Day."

The smile on Zuo Xiangning's face faded slightly, she opened the box and looked at a phoenix hairpin holding a bead inside. The bead could be as big as a big fingernail, and it was worth a lot at first sight.

She picked it up and looked at it, then closed the box and handed it to Bingyu, "Let Panxia keep it well."

"By the way, the Marquis also wrote you a letter." Bingyu took out another letter and gave it to Zuo Xiangning, "Chang Ming said he received it last night."

A smile appeared on Zuo Xiangning's face again, and she snatched the letter, "Why don't you take it out first?"

"I think that box is more important." Bingyu said with a grin.

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and glanced at her, then whispered: "This letter is the most important thing."

The letter was not long, just a few short sentences. First, he reported that he was safe, then he said that he missed Zuo Xiangning, and the last sentence said that he planned to return to Beijing at the end of January and would arrive in mid-February.

Zuo Xiangning read the letter again, then folded it and put it back in the box beside her bed.

She smiled and got out of bed, and asked Panxia to give her a small flying bun, and put on a pair of pink beads and long gold bell earrings.

Zuo Xiangning originally wanted to wear more jewelry, but she was afraid that it would overwhelm her new sister-in-law and two cousins, so she simply dressed up.

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang gave each of the children a big red envelope, and their aunt and Mrs. Jiang also gave each of them one.

Everyone happily wished each other new year's greetings, and even had fun eating and playing until the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Jiang Ruochen and Zuo Zimo were about to leave the capital on Chuliu.

Jiang Ruochen went to Xianglan Zhai to find Zuo Xiangning on the night of the fifth day of the lunar month.

"I will leave the capital tomorrow." Jiang Ruochen looked at Zuo Xiangning with a smile, "Next time I come back, I may have to wait until the end of the year."

"Then let me first wish my cousin a safe journey and everything goes well when we get there." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

"Xiang Ning, before I leave," Jiang Ruochen said softly, a little embarrassed, "I have a few words to say to you."

"Cousin," Zuo Xiangning hurriedly interrupted Jiang Ruochen, "Don't worry, cousin, everything will be fine at home."

Jiang Ruochen looked at the woman with reddish cheeks. The words lingered in his throat for a long time, and he still said: "If, I mean if, if you don't meet the right person, can you wait for me? I will be anywhere. After three years, I will find a way to be transferred back to the capital."

"Cousin..." Zuo Xiangning was about to explain, but Jiang Ruochen turned around and left.

Zuo Xiangning called him twice, but he didn't stop.

Zuo Xiangning frowned, she couldn't let Jiang Ruochen misunderstand her anymore.

She hurriedly went to find Zuo Zixi.

Zuo Zixi was hugging Min Yujia and holding her hand to write big characters. When they heard that Zuo Xiangning was looking for her, the couple hurriedly separated.

"Let the fourth girl come in." Zuo Zixi said with his hands behind his back. Min Yujia walked to the door to pick up Zuo Xiangning, and asked with a smile: "Fourth sister is here at this time. What's the matter? Are you looking for me or your elder brother?"

"I want to find my eldest brother." Zuo Xiangning stood at the door and waved to Zuo Zixi. She said to Min Yujia: "Sister-in-law, I want to ask my eldest brother for something. Can you lend me your eldest brother for a while? "

"Do you still need to ask? You brothers and sisters chat slowly and I'll make some tea." Min Yujia reached out and dragged Zuo Xiangning into the room, and then she took everyone in the room out.

Zuo Xiangning walked towards Zuo Zixi and whispered that Jiang Ruochen went to find her.

"My cousin and I have no chance at all. I don't want my cousin to misunderstand." Zuo Xiangning whispered anxiously: "You have to find a way to make it clear to your cousin."

Zuo Zixi thought for a moment and said, "Ruochen will leave tomorrow. It will take a year to come back next time. A lot of things will happen in this year. Maybe he doesn't like you anymore?"

"Brother, we can't have this kind of luck. What if he doesn't change?" Zuo Xiangning said: "Ling Xiao will be back in a month. He promises to ask for a marriage. By then, my cousin will There’s no way to explain it.”

"The marriage granted by the emperor's decree does not need to be explained too much. Who dares to resist the decree?" Zuo Zixi waved his hand, "By then everything will naturally settle. No matter what Ruochen's thoughts are, they can only That’s as far as it goes.”

"Brother! That's the eldest son and grandson of the Jiang family!" Zuo Xiang stamped her feet anxiously.

Zuo Zixi sighed, patted Zuo Xiangning's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go find him now."

"That's pretty much it." Zuo Xiangning had a smile on her face.

Zuo Zixi said to her: "Go back and wait for me. I will go to Xianglan Zhai in a while."

"Thank you, brother." Zuo Xiangning watched her brother go out, walked to the small kitchen, and followed Min Yujia who was making tea inside and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going back."

"Are you done?" Min Yujia handed her a snack box, "Take this back and try it. If it tastes good, I'll make more tomorrow."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Zuo Xiangning handed it to Pancui, and she stretched out her hand to help Min Yujia out of the kitchen. "My elder brother went to the front yard for something and said he would be back in a while."

"Okay, I understand." Min Yujia sent Zuo Xiangning to the entrance of the hospital.

She turned around and returned to the room. The girl next to her walked up to her and whispered: "The uncle seems to have gone to the young master's house..."

"Don't check the uncle's itinerary again." Min Yujia interrupted the girl, "Go and boil more hot water. When the uncle comes back later, he will take a hot bath."

The girl hurriedly left to prepare.

Min Yujia asked another girl to take out her pink pajamas.

Zuo Zixi might have to leave the capital one day, and she wanted Zuo Zixi to remember her beauty.

After she washed up, she put on some light makeup, then put on some light pink pajamas, and lay on the bright red brocade quilt, waiting for her husband.

Zuo Zixi arrived at Jiang Ruochen's yard and stunned Jiang Ruochen, "Brother, why are you here so late?"

"I'm here to say a few words to you." Zuo Zixi thought for a while, but couldn't think of a particularly good way to say it.

No matter how nice the words were, there was only one meaning, that is, Zuo Xiangning didn't like him.

No matter how you say these words, they are hurtful.

"Ruochen, Xiang Ning asked me to come." Zuo Zixi said straightforwardly: "You may also understand what Xiang Ning means. She said that she treats you as her own brother and doesn't want to delay you."

"Brother, if Xiang Ning doesn't meet the right person, won't you consider me?" Jiang Ruochen's face turned pale, "Do I have no chance at all?"

"Ruochen, Xiang Ning has not been in contact with you for a long time, but I grew up in the Jiang family and spent more time with you than with Zimo. I know you quite well, and you are a rare person in my heart. He is a good man, but I also know my sister very well." Zuo Zixi told Jiang Ruochen about Zuo Xiangning running to the border alone and saving herself and his brother-in-law. "She is a girl with strong opinions, she said Treating you as her biological brother is what she really thinks in her heart, and what others say is of no use."

Jiang Ruochen took a deep breath and leaned on the chair behind him.
