Chapter 23: The Spring Breeze

Just by the voice, she guessed the identity of the visitor.

Behind Jiang Lun, two maids from the other courtyard arrived. One of them hurriedly announced, "The eldest son of the Jiang family has arrived. I wanted to inform the young lady first, but when I heard Jinxia and the young lady talking inside, the young master came in first."

"It's okay, they are all relatives." Because they were in the Taoist temple's dining hall, not the boudoir of the marquis's mansion, Xue Huichun did not stick to the strict separation of men and women.

The two mothers nodded after hearing this, but did not leave. After all, there are differences between men and women, and they cannot break the rules. They still need to accompany them to avoid suspicion.

Xue Huichun put down the storybook in her hand and jokingly asked, "Why did you go back to the capital? Aren't you afraid that as soon as you return, Aunt Jiang will be busy arranging a beautiful bride for you, as beautiful as a flower, with both talent and beauty?"

"Haha, look, this Taoist temple is even managing Yue Lao's affairs," Jiang Lun laughed and shook his head. "They didn't even offer me a cup of tea, but they're already rushing to match me up."

When these words were spoken, not only Jinxia, ​​but even the two elderly mothers next to them could not help but glance sideways and almost laughed out loud.

Jinxia quickly poured Jiang Lun a cup of tea: "Mr. Jiang, please have some tea."

Jiang Lun took the teacup, took a sip, and could smell the fragrance of tea. He couldn't help but drink a few more sips, which just quenched his thirst from the long journey.

"Oh my, he drank up the Junshan Silver Needle tea that I had left hanging since morning like a cow drinking water!" Xue Huichun stamped her feet lightly and reached out to grab the teacup from Jiang Lun's hand in pretended anger.

Jiang Lun dodged with a smile and said teasingly, "Hey, hey, hey, could it be that the eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion is reluctant to give me this cup of tea?" As he spoke, he pulled out an object wrapped in silk cloth from his arms. "This, it should be more than enough to exchange for ten cups of tea for you."

Xue Huichun blinked, then took it, sat down curiously at the lacquered hexagonal table, and carefully opened the silk cloth.

Inside was a thin-bodied white porcelain jade rabbit the size of a palm, which was crystal clear.

The Jade Rabbit's eyes are dotted with red paint, making it look even more lifelike, as if it will jump out of the palm at any time.

Xue Huichun was born in the year of the rabbit. She fell in love with this white porcelain jade rabbit at first sight and couldn't let it go.

She gently stroked the delicate porcelain body of the jade rabbit, her eyes full of love.
