Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

When Anan arrived at Mingxiangju, Hongze had not returned yet. Someone had already brought in candles and lit the house. Just as Nanny Su said, the house was indeed not big, with only one room in the backyard.

The layout was different from the main house of Xinyun Manor. It had a guest room, a study, and a bedroom. There was a bathroom behind the bedroom, but it was a little bigger. I guess someone from the palace had decorated it. The furniture was replaced with new ones, and the furnishings were carefully designed. The mattresses inside were all made of the best silk satin.

The two large cabinets in the bedroom were full, with mattresses for all seasons on one side and clothes on the other. On the top were fur coats, in the middle were dresses and jackets, and at the bottom were small clothes and various handkerchiefs. Next to the wardrobe were a few new sandalwood boxes, which were thoughtfully made into drawers. They were filled with Hongze's clothes, hats, shoes and socks. Outside was a newly placed sandalwood shelf, on which Hongze's official uniforms were hung, neatly arranged, clean, and scented.

It was obvious that this was the work of Nanny Su.

Anan placed the box that Nanny Su had placed on the carriage on the table and opened it almost reverently.

There were two small blue and white porcelain bottles lying inside. She opened the bottles and found them full of tiny pills. There were no dolls hidden, let alone any books.

Anan put away all the three boxes she had obtained today, and then stood up to look at the small garden outside. The open porch was very wide, with a low table and a tea stove. She sat on the low stool and found that the floor was warm. She lit the tea stove, and the water in the copper kettle boiled, steaming.

Outside, snowflakes were falling, and the curled ox-horned owls of the palace were faintly visible. In the courtyard, a pool of autumn water was frozen, a wooden bridge was piled with snow, and a few lotus lanterns were burning, which was like a dream and quite charming.

Anan rested her head on her arm, quietly watching everything in front of her, thinking lazily about what she had seen and heard in the palace today, feeling quite touched. The table was full of tea sets, but she was not good at making tea, nor did she like drinking tea. She only glanced at it briefly and thought to herself that she might as well remove the tea sets and replace them with wine sets tomorrow. In such an environment and such a romantic atmosphere, it would be a pleasure to invite him to drink with her.

It’s a pity that Nanny Su even thought of Hongze’s socks and underwear, but didn’t think of bringing some wine. It seems that it won’t work today.

Speaking of Nanny Su, she looks smart but is actually very naive. Even her two aunts said that alcohol can make people lose their minds, but it can also help to liven up the party!

She took a sip of hot water from the tea bowl on the table, blew out a breath of hot air, and stared blankly at the courtyard gate not far away.

She has clearly become his legal wife, and even Huan'er, his biggest worry, has become the Crown Princess. Why is it so difficult to see him? It would be better to stay in Xinyun Manor.

With a sigh, she took another sip of hot water.

She sat on a low table in the corridor, watching the snow and enjoying the scenery while waiting for Hongze to come home, and fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't know how long it had been, she just felt someone picked her up. She felt a little cold, so she naturally shrank into his arms. Even without opening her eyes, she knew who it was.

"How did you fall asleep in the yard? It's so cold, what if you catch a cold?" As he spoke, a smell of alcohol wafted into his nose, mixed with the fragrance of tea. I guess he drank a cup of tea to cover up the smell of alcohol, but no matter how hard he tried to cover it up, it still smelled the same.

Like to nag people.
