Twin Brocade

Chapter 377 No Regrets
The two little sisters bid farewell, and Chen Xiangyu gave Fang Jinshu a sachet as a gift in return.

After Chen Xiangyu left, Fangxin came in and said, "Girl, the honeysuckle you planted in the garden are all blooming."

Honeysuckle, also known as honeysuckle, is a herbal medicine commonly used in summer.Fang Jinshu found two honeysuckle vines in the garden, and asked the woman in charge of flowers and trees to buy a few more and grow one.

This season, the honeysuckle is just in bloom, so you can pick some back to soak in water and drink for health.

"Come on, let's pick some back."

Fang Xin carried a basket and followed Fang Jinshu, and the two walked along the path towards the garden.

It had just rained last night, and the air in the garden was particularly fresh and moving.The early summer breeze blows over the honeysuckle vines, the small yellow and white flowers sway among the green leaves, and the nose can smell a very light fragrance.

Fangxin put down the basket and went forward to pick the gold and silver flowers.

Fang Jinshu rolled up his sleeves and started picking.Fangxin was not surprised that she did it herself.Fang Jinshu is different from other young ladies, she will do many things by herself.

After picking half of the basket, Fang Jinshu saw a familiar figure walking back and forth in the garden from the corner of his vision.The terrain they were on was high, so they could see her whereabouts right in front of their eyes.

"Pick it first." Fang Jinshu instructed Fang Xin, took out a silk handkerchief to clean his hands, went down the path, and said politely, "Shu'er has seen my cousin."

Chen Wansu was immersed in her own world, and it was only when she saw her that she came to her senses, and said with a smile, "So it's Shu'er, what are you doing here?"

Fang Jinshu pointed to the piece of honeysuckle vine above, and said with a smile: "The weather is getting hotter, pick some honeysuckle back and share it with everyone to drink."

"Cousin, I'm leaving tomorrow, and Shu'er hasn't said goodbye to you yet, so don't forget about Shu'er."

"How come?" Chen Wansu said with a smile, "You are the only relatives I have in Beijing. As long as I have free time, I will come to pay my respects to the old lady. If there is anything you like about Shu'er, I will bring it to you."

Chen Ruiliang and his wife will not stay in the capital for a long time, but she married in the capital.No matter what Lu Wuye planned, the only one she could rely on was the Fang family.

Fang Jinshu didn't care much about these extraneous things, but Chen Wansu's kindness couldn't take away the other person's heart, so she said, "There is a family in Nanshi, Ningji pastries, who make very good peach cakes. If it's convenient for my cousin, bring two When the box comes, Shu'er will be very grateful."

As expected, he was still a child, all he cared about was eating, Chen Wansu responded with a smile.

"Why is my cousin here alone? Are you looking for something?" Just now looking at her figure from above, Fang Jinshu felt that she was preoccupied, so she was alone in the garden.

Chen Wansu shook her head, looked over the treetops to the sky far away, and murmured: "You have studied a lot, do you know the ending after the fish leaps over the dragon's gate?"

She spoke vaguely, but Fang Jinshu got a rough idea.

What kind of person Lu Wuye is, Chen Wansu is determined, and all kinds of gossips are naturally indispensable.Among them, most of them are probably aimed at Chen Wansu's identity.

Such remarks as "the toad wants to eat swan meat", and "the merchant's daughter designed Lu Wuye to get married", etc., are becoming more and more popular.Especially those who wanted to marry their daughters to Lu Wuye, but he declined.At this time, it is inevitable to add fuel to the rumors.

Wen tried every means to hide it, but in the end she couldn't hide it, so she passed a few words to Chen Wansu's ears.

She has a temperament that does not fight or grab, and when she heard this suddenly, her heart was inevitably depressed.But she didn't want to be seen by her relatives and worry them, so she went to the garden by herself to be quiet.

Meeting Fang Jinshu, who was a generation younger than her, for some reason, she wanted to confide in her distress.

"Is the golden scales a thing in the pool, it can turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm." Fang Jinshu smiled and said, "Auntie, you know it." The folk story of a fish leaping over a dragon's gate is known to all the people.

"That's right." Chen Wansu sighed leisurely, and said, "But I always think that there are only a few people who transform into dragons, and more die when they jump over the dragon gate."

For example, for herself, marrying Lu Wuye is like jumping over the dragon's gate.But for a century-old family like the Lu family, even if she lives in Beijing with Lu Wuye and doesn't return to her family, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

The way to do this is far more complicated than she thought.For example, before she was married, such ugly rumors spread to slander her reputation.

Compared to the determination she had when she agreed to Lu Wuye, Chen Wansu is now a little uncertain about her future.Did she make the right decision?Will she leap the dragon gate, or will she fall to pieces in mid-air?
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Fang Jinshu said: "Auntie, Shu'er met a teacher when she was in Jingyi Nunnery. She told me that if you stick to your heart, you will have nothing to fear."

"Then every golden scale, why doesn't it know that it is close to death? But the only remaining vitality can transform into a dragon. For this goal, it has just gone on and on."

"I think, if you die on the way to pursue your dreams, they should also have no regrets."

"No regrets?" Chen Wansu repeated this sentence, looked away at Fang Jinshu, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Shu'er." That's right, why did she forget why Fifth Lord Lu chose her to be his wife.

To stand by his side, how could she be confused, how could she have doubts?

"Thank you for what I did." Fang Jinshu smiled and said, "Just don't forget my peach cake, cousin."

The next day, the Chen family's new house was tidied up and moved out at an auspicious time.The joy of housewarming is naturally lively.The Chen family set up a day's wine, and all the friends in the business field came to congratulate.

Si Lansheng also brought the servants of the Fang family over to help. The girls and young masters of the Fang family all went to visit and only returned at night.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, gradually entering midsummer.

The court was calm, and all forces were secretly accumulating strength.The news came out from the palace that a large number of titles such as Zhaoyi, Jieyu, Cairen, and Baolin were conferred on the outstanding ladies who remained in the palace during the general election. Return to your country of origin.

Among the canonizations this time, the one who received the highest title was the daughter of the Shi family from An Guogong's mansion, who was named Zhaoyi.

To the disappointment of the Li family, Li Zhao, whom they carefully cultivated, not to mention concubine, did not even get one of the nine concubines.Only Jieyu was barely sealed, and she had a foothold in the harem.

After the results came out, Li Hanlin felt chills on the back of his neck, and immediately wrote a letter back to his family.

Given Li's family background and Li Zhao's talent and appearance, no matter what, they would not give only one Jieyu.The occurrence of this situation can only show that the emperor has already noticed their small actions and beat the Li family in this way.
