Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"Do you like it?" Jinyun stared at her with his eyes and grinned nervously, "I heard from Aunt Yu that you haven't slept well these days, so I specially prepared a medicine capsule for you."

Anan opened the box and saw that the medicine bag was a small ball made of a golden wire basket. It was very exquisite. He put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, then asked with a smile, "This medicine bag is really exquisite and not often seen in the world."

He grinned and nodded, "This is a silk ball specially made for this medicinal fragrance. It is wrapped with extremely fine gold wire and then stacked up layer by layer. The medicinal materials inside can naturally release their fragrance through those tiny pores."

There was a faint scent of medicine, unique, fresh, soft and refreshing. Anan smiled.

"If you like it, I'll find someone to make you another one when we get back to the capital!" Seeing that she liked it, Jinyun became interested and said with a smile, "There are not many craftsmen in Yongning Guard who can make silk, and their skills are not very good. There are many in the capital."

"You're going back to Beijing?" Anan caught a key piece of information and looked at him, "When?"

"There are still a few months left!" Jinyun laughed helplessly, "It's too early, there's nothing we can do. Yunyu won't let me go."

Anan looked at him and said with emotion: "It's great that he has a friend like you around him."

She said sincerely and solemnly: "Thank you, Jinyun."

Jinyun was a little panicked.

······

He stood in the dark shade of a tree. From a distance, Jinyun had her back to him and his expression was completely invisible. However, he could not hide his helplessness. His heart tightened and he looked at Anan. She had lost all her usual joy and seemed to be in deep thought.

The two talked like this for a while. Anan remembered something and hurried back to the house. He came out again after a while and handed Jinyun something.

After the two separated, Jinyun was in a very good mood and walked so fast that people passing by didn't even notice he was standing there.

It was the first time in his life that he overheard his brother's gossip, and he felt quite uncomfortable. He remembered that the shopkeeper Lin Yin Pavilion said that she bought a hairpin, and looked at the small bag in Jinyun's hand. Thousands of thoughts surged in his mind, all mixed together, and his heart felt like it was boiled in boiling oil, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Xiao Fu rubbed her sleepy eyes, leaned lazily on the bed, and shouted loudly: "Anan, I want to drink some water."

Anan poured her a cup of hot water and sat beside her bed, hesitating again and again.

Xiao Fu gulped down the water, fell heavily back on the bed, pushed her, and murmured, "Go back to sleep, it's so late!"

Anan didn't move.

Xiao Fu turned over and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Anan reached out and shook her shoulder.

"Stop it!" Xiao Fu clapped her hands and moved a little further inside.

Anan shook her hard again.

Xiao Fu was awakened from her deep sleep by her. She was immediately furious. She sat up and pounded the bed, yelling, "Anan! Can you wait until I wake up before you talk about this?"

"No." Anan reached out and covered her mouth, then leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

Xiao Fu was completely frozen as if struck by frost. It took her a long while to come back to her senses. She gasped and looked at Anan: "Are you serious?"

"Yeah." Anan nodded very confidently, his eyes shining.

"But," Xiao Fu swallowed and stared at Anan in confusion, "What are you trying to do?"
