The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

"Have you heard? The concubine in the back house is so weird that she actually named the sycamore tree in front of her house..."

"He came from a small family and has some quirks."

"Who says it's not? Listen to what the girl she brought here said. She thinks that all things have animism, and having a name also has some kind of bond. Let me tell you... if a good person is not sealed as a demon, how can he be here? What kind of bond are you looking for in the tree?”

"I'm afraid that she is thinking about our Lord Marquis, right? Because the Marquis ignored her, she would put her mind on the flowers and trees."

"It's really ridiculous. Could it be that the sycamore tree in front of her house is familiar to her and this is her home? Don't even look at how much she weighs!"

"..."

A burst of long-lasting memories kept impacting Mu Rong's mind.

He stood up from his dream, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

Those sounds seemed close at hand, yet as ethereal as smoke.

In her previous life, not long after she entered the house, she was ridiculed by her servants because she nicknamed the phoenix tree outside the house "Luo Qiao".

At that time, he didn't take it seriously. Just because he couldn't encourage the servants to disrespect their master, he summarily fined those servants some salary and did not do any other punishment.

He only thought that she was ignorant, naive and ridiculous at that time, but he never thought about what she really expected from every plant and tree in the Marquis Mansion.

Maybe, even if he knew it at the time, he wouldn't care.

In this life, she no longer has the slightest attachment to the lives she saved with her own hands.

Does it mean that she is actually not willing to stay in the capital, let alone stay with him?

Marrying him... was just a hindrance to the emperor's order.

Without His Majesty's personal decree, I'm afraid he would never be able to stand by her side again.

Such a clear understanding made Mu Rong feel a chill to his bones on this summer night.

In this life, does he have a chance to enter her heart again?

Marquis Weiyuan, who had experienced hundreds of battles on the battlefield, felt fear for the first time.

……

On the last day, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered all kinds of items for the county lord's wedding one by one. Aunt Xiao and others were in front to take care of them.

In Xu Rongrong's yard, a very unfamiliar boy came.

At the age of twelve, he looked paler than his peers because he had been studying indoors all year round.

Although he was curious about all the decorations in the yard, there was a hint of dogmatic rigidity in his movements.

"It is indeed the famous Zhuxiang Garden in the capital. It can be seen from this that the eldest sister lives here. I think she is quite happy both physically and mentally."

The young man is Xu Ming, the youngest son of Xu Chaoqian and the only male in the Xu family.

He was sent to study at the famous Celadon Hall of Baiyang Academy in the Great Zhou Dynasty since he was eight years old, and he was the most proud of Xu Chaoqian.

Today, he is half a head shorter than Xu Rongrong. He is sitting in an armchair with his toes barely touching the ground, but he behaves like an adult sipping tea...

Xu Rongrong looked at him, feeling confused.

She really had no impression of this younger brother.

Although they were siblings in their previous life, they had never met each other a few times.

When she was carried into the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Xu Chaoqian did not even call his son back to marry him; but the year before her death, Xu Ming had been promoted to the Zijin Hall of Baiyang Academy and was about to take part in the scientific examination that year.

In order not to delay his son's studies, Xu Chaoqian rarely called him back to the capital even during holidays.

This time, when she got married, he brought Xu Ming back for the first time.

A few days ago, Aunt Xiao took the lead and carried Xu Rongrong's box back from the Xu Mansion, which made Xu Chaoqian very embarrassed.

But he didn't dare to really break up with his daughter, so he asked his two daughters to come over and test Xu Rongrong's tone the day before yesterday.

Xu Ming was sent here again today.

It's just to find a way for myself.

Xu Rongrong naturally understood Xu Chaoqian's thoughts, but she had no intention of paying attention.

The reason why I had to deal with everyone in the Xu Mansion before was because I didn’t have enough time and confidence when I first came back, but now...

How can a person who has lived a new life care about whether his father will come to see him off on the wedding day?

"I wonder if the eldest sister has handled the marriage preparations properly?" Seeing that Xu Rongrong ignored him, Xu Ming asked again.

"If it's not appropriate, Brother Ming, do you want to stay and help?" Xu Rongrong smiled half-heartedly.

Xu Ming: "..."

It took him a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "Sister, I was joking."

Maybe he felt a little embarrassed, so he stood up and took a long box next to him: "Eldest sister will get married tomorrow. This is my brother's wish. Please accept it."

After speaking, he unfolded the long box.

Inside is a painting.

Xu Rongrong raised her eyebrows slightly: "Did you draw this?"

Xu Ming nodded, with a look of pride on his face: "Exactly."

The bookboy who followed him added: "In the Celadon Hall of Baiyang Academy, every time there is a monthly review, the young master's paintings are ranked among the top three!"

After saying this, Xu Rongrong was looking forward to it.

Seeing the long scroll unfold...

Xu Rongrong: "What did Brother Ming draw?"

Xu Ming raised her chin: "This is the "Picture of the Sutra of Filial Piety for Women", which is taken from the "Female Commandments", including the important meanings of humility, husband and wife, respect and prudence, conduct of women, concentration, obedience, and uncles and sisters. I am sending this picture to the elder. Sister, it’s hope…”

"Okay." Xu Rongrong interrupted him, "I accept Brother Ming's wishes."

Full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and rigid dogma, Xu Ming is truly a great son of Xu Chaoqian!

Seeing his lady's face full of upset, Wen Yao hurriedly came over and said, "This is my first time coming to Zhuxiang Yayuan. We will move out tomorrow. Why don't you take this opportunity to spend some time in the garden?" Take a tour?”

Xu Ming thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing Wen Yao take the person away, Xu Rongrong was finally relieved.

Luo Shu laughed at the side and said: "My brother is quite interesting. He is just like a little old man. He was thrown into a group of academics at a young age. He is really big-hearted."

Xu Rongrong's eyes fell on the wooden box containing the scroll: "He is a treasure that my father has worked hard to carve all his life. I am afraid that all the resources of the government will be piled on him."

Luo Shu was a little surprised: "But usually in the mansion, I almost never hear the master and madam mention my brother."

In the Xu family, no one knows that the second young lady Xu Yaoyao is the one that the master and his wife love the most. As for the young master... he was sent out to study at a young age and was not allowed to have fun with her. Even his love was limited.

Xu Rongrong smiled and said: "Did you know that the velvet silk he used for painting was produced in Jiangnan? The thin and translucent silk paper is the most rare, but he used it to paint for the monthly review... This alone can tell that he is in Baiyang Academy. The supply is very high, and the Xu family is now stretched thin, but he can still paint paintings on velvet and silk and give them to me, which shows that my father has no intention of reducing the supply."

Luo Shu clicked his tongue in admiration: How can one see so many features in such a thin painting?
