Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

On New Year's Eve, the capital city is decorated with lights and fireworks, the streets are crowded with people, and small stalls can be seen everywhere.

Hongze held Anan's hand and walked among the crowd for a while. From a distance, they saw an old man holding a straw target with bright red candied haws on it. He pointed it out to her and asked with a smile, "Do you still want to eat candied haws?"

After that, without waiting for her to reply, he pulled her forward, took out a few copper coins from his pocket, and said to the old man with a smile: "Old man, please give my wife a string."

This guy really holds a grudge. Last time in the town of Yongningwei, the old man selling candied haws said that he looked like her father, and she still remembers it. But after all, she was not confident enough. Before the other person took the initiative to shout, she took the initiative to say it.

Although the old man was old, he had a good eye. He took the copper coins, smiled and asked someone to take down a string and passed it to him. He said to Anan: "Madam, you are so lucky to have found such an excellent husband who loves you very much. I think you must be blessed by the red star!"

She picked up the phone and couldn't help teasing him, "I shaved today, so I wanted everyone to see you. Are you really that young?"

He just smiled, lowered his head, took a bite of her hand, and pushed it in front of her again.

Anan put the remaining half of the candied haws into his mouth, but couldn't help frowning.

He smiled with satisfaction, holding her hand again, and walked through the crowd. The resentment of the past few days was completely relieved at this moment. He suddenly felt that happiness was holding her hand and wandering around aimlessly.

There is no destination, no target. He can go when he wants to go and stop when he wants to stop. It seems that the troubles in this world have nothing to do with him.

Anan knew that he was feeling upset, so he didn't say anything to comfort him. He just let him lead the way and followed him.

The two followed the crowd for a while and were suddenly pushed into an alley.

At the end of the alley is the residence of Yan Lin, the Minister of Rites. Today, he is dressed in mourning clothes, and the servants at the door have sad faces. The big word "甸" on the two huge white lanterns is very eye-catching.

Even if Hongze didn't speak, Anan could guess that this was Hong Ling's husband's family. A big funeral in the middle of the year was particularly sad, and the desolation was a bit weird and chilling. Therefore, although the crowd was lively, they all thought it was unlucky and no one went there.

I had heard from Nanny Su earlier that although the Earl's Mansion had removed the appropriate decorations in the afternoon and the doors were closed, no guests were allowed to visit.

It seems that Hong Ling’s death brought great shock to both the Hong family and the Yan family.

Hong Ze hesitated for a while and whispered, "There is something wrong with Hong Ling's death."

Anan frowned slightly, stood on tiptoe, and gently stroked the "chuan" character on his forehead, smiling and saying, "Today is the New Year, let's not talk about this."

He looked down at her, gently stroked her cheek with his hand, and suddenly said: "I often think that if you married someone else, you wouldn't have to face these dirty things in the Earl's Mansion, and you wouldn't have to wait for me until late at night every day. I am sorry for you..."

"Since you want me to live a comfortable and happy life so much, you might as well write me a letter of divorce, so that I can get rid of my ties with the Earl's Mansion and marry someone else with peace of mind." Anan tilted his head and wrinkled his nose at him.

His face darkened instantly, but he soon realized that she was teasing him, so he smiled and pinched her cheeks, saying, "How dare you!"
