Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Mingxing's parents are still alive. Huilan has a son and a daughter. Mr. Ming is holding the boy in his arms, who is only two or three years old. When he saw Huilan, he immediately reached out for a hug. The daughter is still in her cradle, lying in the old lady's arms, sleeping soundly, and she is chubby and fair, so adorable.

Although the family was still sad about Mingxing's death, they were very enthusiastic to see him and the Fourth Master coming. The whole family was mobilized, even several elders from the family came, busying themselves arranging food and accommodation. In the Ming family, he was still a respected "master", and no one suspected that he had betrayed Mingxing.

The Fourth Master followed him closely, and Chu Qing followed the Fourth Master closely. The three of them were surrounded by the clan leaders and gentry, drinking tea and drinking, and it was very lively. As for Jiuling and Bian, they were always elusive and no one knew where they had gone to hide.

Anan had never seen Mingxing, but he could guess from just looking at the Ming family that he must be a cheerful and bright person. After being away for many days, Huilan was tripped up by trivial matters as soon as she returned home. There was no one to serve her, so Anan enjoyed the quietness and sat alone in the small hall to drink tea, looking at him openly through the open window.

He was surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd at the moment, with a slightly forced smile, feeling as awkward as he could be. Chu Qing was obviously not used to such a scene, his face turned red, and he could only smile dryly.

The Fourth Master, on the other hand, behaved with ease, like a fish in water, talking and laughing, joking and feeling very free.

"Girl, have some snacks!" A maid handed her an exquisite little bowl.

Anan always loved sweets. She looked down and saw a soft, glutinous, amber-colored, translucent little dumpling in the bowl. It had a clear and special fragrance. The An family had always had fine and rich food. After coming to Yongning Guard, Su Ma thought about the bitter wind and sand in the border areas and pitied her poor health, so she tried her best to find food. She was quite knowledgeable, but she had never seen this kind of dessert before. She smiled and asked the maid, "Sister, what is this?"

The servant was kind and honest. Seeing Anan's happy face, she felt a little embarrassed. She rubbed her slightly rough hands and smiled, "This is Yakou taro balls, the favorite pastry of us Quanzhou people! If the girl likes it, use more!"

As Anan was eating the taro balls, his fatigue from the long journey instantly disappeared and he was in a good mood.

Seeing her smiling face, the maid also became interested, so she leaned closer and asked with a smile: "Young lady, do you know what this snack means?"

Anan smiled and shook his head.

The maid looked at her with a smile and said: "Taro balls, taro balls, symbolize round fate. If you eat them, you will definitely have a good fate!"

Although she knew it was just a compliment made up to bring good luck, Anan still felt sweet in her heart. She felt that the sweetness of the bowl of taro balls had entered her heart. When she looked up, he was also looking at her.

Their eyes met, and she turned the sweetness into a smile. His mouth corners slightly raised, but he was called away for a drink, so he had to turn his head back to socialize.

The Ming family's enthusiasm was overwhelming. After a day of delicious food and tea, they had to vacate the upper room of the clan leader's house in the evening. After half a day of arguing, Huilan knew the temperaments of the two brothers very well. She just glanced at Anan and smiled at him, "Please stay for one more day! Just now, the servants came to say that the wheel hub of the carriage was broken. Knowing that you left in a hurry, we are rushing to repair it. I'm afraid it will take some time."

"It's okay, we can just ride horses." He responded sullenly.

Huilan looked at Anan, who grinned at her.
