true

Come back soon. "

The carriage came all the way to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xie and Jin Yang were not waiting in the main hall, Lin Shu directly pulled Jingyan to lead him to the inner hall.

There is less etiquette and more intimacy, as if you are treating your own family.

As soon as Jingyan sat down, a maid brought hot ginger tea, and an attendant held a small charcoal stove by Jingyan's left leg.The charcoal stove leaned against the legs, dispelling the bone-piercing pain caused by the cold all the way, and replaced it with warmth.

The cook leaned over and whispered to Lin Shu, don't worry, I purposely folded two extra layers of pleats on the one with blessings, it's so obvious that I can't go wrong.

After Lin Shu takes his seat, Jingyan asks him, what's wrong?

"It's okay. My cook usually makes dumplings for three people. This year, if there are more people, he is afraid that there will be fewer dumplings."

Jinyang couldn't help smiling, "You've been the only one who has robbed Jingyan since he was a child, and he's always let you in. Even if the package is missing, it's not you who will suffer."

"..." Lin Shu couldn't argue with his mother, so he could only lower his head obediently.

While they were talking, hot dumplings were brought to his personal table. Lin Shu and Jingyan were sitting next to each other, and they saw the marked dumplings at a glance, and pretended to push the plate casually. In front of Jingyan, "Jingyan, eat more."

Jingyan nodded. He loved to eat dumplings from the Lin Mansion since he was a child, and Lin Shuai and the eldest princess watched him grow up, so they didn't feel restrained, so they picked up the dumplings and ate them in a bowl.

Seeing his chopsticks reaching for the eight-folded dumpling, Lin Shu couldn't help but be delighted. Just as he was thinking of something auspicious to say, he saw Jingyan move his mouth twice before swallowing it.

"Why did you swallow it without chewing it!" Lin Shu stood up anxiously, "Quick, spit it out!"

"!!?" Jingyan blinked, and looked at Lin Shu in astonishment, "...I chewed it."

Jin Yang saw it, and couldn't help frowning, slightly annoyed at his son's concern, "Xiao Shu, Jingyan is not a child, so he won't be unable to eat such a big fortune."

Lin Shu, who had been told so clearly, fell silent. "..."

"Jingyan has lost weight." Jin Yang looked at Jingyan, although he wore a lot of clothes in winter, he could still see that his hands and face were much thinner, "Didn't it mean that he was only slightly injured? Not to your liking?"

Lin Shu glanced at Lin Xie, Jingyan's injury, Lin Shu was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he only told Lin Xie in a letter, so at this moment he could only answer evasively, "Mother, don't worry, I have already asked the doctor and said yes It’s not good to eat too much suddenly, it takes time to grow back.”

Seeing Jingyan bowing his head in silence, Jinyang also has some calculations in his heart.

All along, Xiao Shu had never talked about the matter of marriage, and she had a faint guess in her heart, and this guess became clearer little by little during Lin Shu's years in Jinling.

That's why when she heard Lin Shu knelt on the ground and confessed that he liked Jingyan, she was left with deep distress.

She knew her son, this person has identified a person, no matter whether he lives or dies, he will never change again.

So when she heard the news of Jingyan's survival in Beijing, she wept with joy.

Thinking that Jingyan was seriously injured, he just couldn't bear the worries of his relatives, so he reported the good news instead of the bad news. Looking at the child he had watched grow up, he felt even more distressed, "Even if it is slow raising, we must pay attention to methods. Except for the daily meals. In addition, I will ask people to stew more supplements and deliver them sooner or later."

Just as Jingyan was about to refuse, Jinyang raised his wide sleeves to stop him, "Your mother is in the palace, it's inconvenient to send in and out the medicinal food, and Xiaoshu doesn't know how to take care of others, I should have thought of sending it earlier, just doing it As long as it's not as good as your mother's craftsmanship."

"It's okay, Jingyan isn't picky about food." Lin Shu said with a smile, "Right... ouch."

Just as he was talking, something hard came out of the dumpling in his mouth.Lin Shu held it in his hand and saw that it was the lucky money that could not be found anywhere.

Just in time for the cook to bring up the freshly cooked dumplings, Lin Shu pulled him aside to ask.

"Young Marshal, just now I was too busy, so I asked the girl who helped me to pinch a few. She squeezed a few pleats and put them in. I didn't know until later."

The cook spoke so loudly that everyone sitting there heard him, Jingyan looked up at the embarrassed Lin Shu, lowered his head and continued to eat his own with a sullen smile.

Even Lin Xie laughed, "Just find it, and change it to a more obvious mark next time."

Lin Shu, who had been teased all over, gritted his teeth viciously at the cook with the money in his mouth.

According to the usual practice, the person who gets the blessing money should be touched by everyone to share the blessing.Lin Shu got up and bowed in front of his parents. Jin Yang stroked his hair with a smile, and Lin Xie patted his back.

Lin Shu returned to his seat, stretched his arms and looked at Jingyan with bright eyes, "It's your turn."

Jingyan didn't dare to show his clues in front of Shuai Lin, so he just patted Lin Shu on the shoulder.

Lin Shu lowered his hand resentfully, and muttered in a low voice, "Anyway, you can touch whatever you want when you get back."

Jingyan was taken aback when he heard this, and accidentally swallowed the whole dumpling, coughing until he choked, and made Jinyang, who didn't know why, couldn't stop laughing.

----

"Jingyan." After the meal, Lin Xie said without opening his mouth, "I heard from Xiaoshu that you have a wound on your leg."

Jingyan's left leg was broken when he fell off a cliff, and he had been fleeing in the snow for more than ten days without being healed.

Jingyan didn't expect Lin Shuai to ask him in person, so he replied, "It's just a minor injury, and now I can walk without hindrance."

"Although bone injuries are easy to heal, they will still hurt when it's cloudy." Lin Xie ordered someone to take a package that smelled like medicine, "When I was in the western region, I accidentally got a medicine from Xili. Try applying it for a month , if it works, I’ll send someone to match it.”

He also told Lin Shu, "Remember, apply it on the wound every day and then press these acupoints repeatedly with your fingers."

After speaking, he leaned over and pointed out the acupuncture points to Lin Shu himself.

Lin Shu looked at it seriously, nodded again and again, "Remember it."

"This medicine has to be used continuously, and you may feel burning pain in the first few days of use, so you have to be patient." Lin Xie said to Jingyan, and suddenly noticed that his face was blushing so much, he couldn't help being surprised, but Jinyang saw the doorway, He lowered his head and covered his mouth with his sleeve and smiled lightly.

After the two left, Jin Yang said to Lin Xie, "You told Xiao Shu directly about these things, didn't you make it clear that you know the relationship between the two of them?"

"Isn't it common among soldiers?" Lin Xie wondered, "When I was in the Jianghu in the past, brother Yan also helped me out."

"..."

As soon as he returned to Prince Jing's mansion, Aunt Ji greeted him, "Your Highness, the young marshal is back, and the dumplings are ready."

"Thank you, Aunt Ji." Lin Shu happily took the bowl. Originally, there were not many people on errands in Prince Jing's mansion. In the past, they were even more careless when it came to eating. Later, when Jingyan was not in the mansion, the servants and cooks all disappeared one after another. left.Coming back this time, the emperor gave many servants again, all of whom were selected by Concubine Jing herself, but there was a lack of a cook.

Lin Shu invites Aunt Ji to Prince Jing's mansion to make delicious food for Jingyan three times a day.

Jingyan looked at the big bowl, frowned slightly and whispered in embarrassment, "...Xiaoshu, I can't eat anymore."

"I know you're full." Lin Shu pushed the bowl in front of Jingyan, "There's also blessing money in this bowl, so you can eat another one and see if you can eat it."

Jingyan didn't want to disappoint Lin Shu, so he took the bowl.

There was only one dumpling in the bowl, which was bulging and still steaming.

Lin Shu looked at him with a smile, "If I get lucky money, I will be lucky."

----

Tomorrow morning they had to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, so the two of them didn't delay any longer and turned off the lights early.

In the past, Jingyan felt that winter was cold but not unbearable, so no matter how cold it was, he didn't use a charcoal basin, but now he always felt that the injury on his leg would hurt more and more in the cold after nightfall, so he had no choice but to order someone to stay indoors He put a charcoal basin, but was seen by his elder brother who came to visit him in the mansion. Xiao Jingyu stared at the charcoal basin for a long time, so sad that he couldn't speak.

From that day on, Jingyan never lets go of the charcoal basin, but he doesn't feel the cold at night.

Because of Lin Shu's presence, the two hugged each other to sleep, and it was often so warm that people would forget that it was a cold day.

"Jingyan, if you have received blessing money, you should share some of it with me."

After tossing around for a whole day, Jingyan was too sleepy to open his eyes. When Lin Shu said this, he closed his eyes and nodded, saying vaguely, "...what is mine is yours."

Lin Shu couldn't help laughing when he heard his answer, which was the same as when he was young.

Most of Xiao Jingyan's life in this life seems to be a continuation of the previous life.

It wasn't until the day when Langya Pavilion and Lin Shu met again that he finally seemed to be living in this world.

He is still the thoughtful King Jing in front of the world.

But when he was around those close to him, he was learning to peel off the armor he had put on over the years little by little.

Gradually return to the most original self.

The change back then was to cut out the flesh and bones, but now it is very difficult to peel off the armor that has been worn for two lifetimes.

Lin Shu knew that Jingyan had always been strong, so he just stayed with him and watched him slowly walk back to the road that originally belonged to Xiao Jingyan.

"That's what you said." The "touch" Lin Shu said was to put his whole body on top of him, and hugged Jingyan tightly. His hot breath burned the back of his neck, making it itchy. Jingyan couldn't stand this kind of feeling. Itching, he shrank his neck and turned over.

Lying face to face with Lin Shu, a pair of dark eyes widened in the dark night, "Don't make trouble."

"I won't bother you."

Lin Shu moved closer, buried his head on Jingyan's shoulder and rubbed it twice, and said in a muffled voice, "Jingyan, I will give you all the blessings."

"..." Jingyan's heart warmed up, and he lowered his eyes and replied, "I've eaten tonight."

"not enough.
