Lanterns illuminate the entire spring night, and a blazing fire in the pond licks the windbreaker.

At night, Lou Jing and his wife returned to the Lou residence. Fearing that the new house was too deserted for them to handle, they left all the servants except Liu Mei behind for the time being.

A fire was lit in the yard, and the servants sat around it, keeping watch over the new house.

The old women and servants were preparing the menu for the family dinner the next day in the kitchen, while Yinyin led the maids to make the beds, light the lamps, and burn incense, making every room brightly lit.

Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun were also busy. They sorted out the books, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and ornaments that they had moved from the Lou house one by one and placed them in the bedroom and study in the north courtyard.

When they finished cleaning up, it was already late at night. An old servant asked Yin Yin to remind them that it was time to go to bed.

When a new owner moves into a new house, he must go to bed on time for the first three days.

Lou Yunchun went to fetch hot water for washing, while Xu Jiang prepared pajamas.

She opened the box and saw the two bottles of "hangover remedies", and she was immediately furious.

He originally wanted to throw it away, but because it was difficult to make medicine, he couldn't bring himself to do it. So he hid it in a box and would take it back to Wu Zhi when he had time.

Lou Yunchun went back to his room to fetch some water and saw her hiding the medicine. He also heard her repeatedly cursing Wu Zhi as a "scoundrel" and a "quack doctor". He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

But after entering the house, he pretended that he saw and heard nothing, just pulled her over and helped her take off her clothes and change them.

Since getting married, he has become accustomed to doing these things and enjoys them.

Xu Jiang also loved buying clothes for him and dressing him up. Whenever she had time, she would go to Cui Niangzi's clothing shop from time to time.

If there were any fashionable styles or any ideas gained from the clothing examinations of various dynasties, they would select the materials and ask Madam Cui to make them.

Lou Shaoqing, who had been dressed the same way for several years, suddenly became the most flamboyant and changeable person in the Dali Temple.

His styles may follow the elegance of predecessors, or integrate the heroism of foreign countries, or pursue the gorgeousness of modern people, or seek the character of a hermit, and he can play them all appropriately.

Because he often went out on official business, rode his horse through the streets, and led his team into the market, he often attracted onlookers. His changeable attire soon attracted young men in Beijing to imitate him, and it became a trend for a time.

Mrs. Cui's clothing store became famous because of this and business was very prosperous.

From then on, whenever a new style came out, he would bring the album to Xu Jiang for advice. After the clothes were finished, he would send them to Xu Jiang for Lou Yunchun to wear.

Since she refused to accept money, Xu Jiang simply drew and bound the patterns she had provided into "Cui's Clothing Atlas" as a gift in return.

This atlas not only makes it easier for customers to choose, but also because each style is given an elegant name after Cui's, even if other shops imitate the style, they cannot get away from Cui's name, which in turn enhances Cui's reputation and makes Cui's clothing store more widely known.

This made Madam Cui very proud.

Xu Jiang ironed the clothes that Lou Yunchun would wear tomorrow, put them on the hanger, and then nodded with satisfaction.

A familiar chest pressed against her back. Without even looking, she leaned forward and asked, "How is it?"

Lou Yunchun took her into his arms and said, "Very good."

Xu Jiang could smell the fragrance of bamboo on him, but not a trace of alcohol, so she asked, "Did you drink today?"

"Hmm." There was no point in drinking any more.

Xu Jiang turned around and looked into his eyes, only to see that they were full of wisdom and calmness.

"You know?"

"What?"

"Hangover remedy."

"Um."

"Hmm!" Xu Jiang was embarrassed and angry, her face flushed red.

Lou Yunchun lowered his head and touched her cheek, then moved his lips to hers, patiently comforting her with a bit of flattery.

Xu Jiang opened her mouth and bit his lips, but she didn't control the degree of force and ended up scratching his lips and drawing blood.

"hiss."

"You deserve it." She let him go, then touched the small cut on his mouth, "Who told you to bully me?"

Lou Yunchun pecked her finger and said, "It's my fault. I will accept your punishment."

Xu Jiang snorted, then flicked his forehead with her finger. "Let bygones be bygones, and don't do it again."

Just say that his Ajahn is the kindest person.

Lou Yunchun turned her away, then picked her up gently, rubbed his forehead against her face, and whispered, "It's time to go to bed."

"Yeah." Feeling sleepy, Xu Jiang yawned, "Let's sleep."

I got up too early this morning and was busy all day, so my eyelids can't hold up anymore.

New person, new bed. Xu Jiang rolled around on the bed, then wrapped herself in the quilt, found a comfortable position and went to sleep.

Someone squeezed into the bed and wrapped her up.

"I'm sleepy, don't make a fuss."

"Um."

Xu Jiang closed her eyes, opened them again after a while, and stared at Lou Yunchun.

Outside the curtains, the lights were dim. Lou Yunchun leaned close to her ear and asked, "What did A Jiang look like when he was little?"

Why are you not sleeping and reminiscing about the past?

Xu Jiang thought for a moment and said, "I wasn't very popular when I was little."

Lou Yunchun raised his upper body and looked down at her.

Xu Jiang reached out her warm hands and touched his face, then continued, "Because I was adopted, they all call me a bastard. Except for my master, no one likes me."

Lou Yunchun knew who 'they' were without having to guess or ask. He leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I like."

Xu Jiang seemed to be fed a mouthful of candy, and then comforted her: "Don't worry, it's not sad anymore."

Lou Yunchun traced Xu Jiang's eyebrows and eyes, "I only regret that I didn't meet you earlier."

Xu Jiang pulled him down to lie down, nestling into his arms. "Life is like the wind and clouds, unpredictable and ever-changing. We are fortunate to be together now. If we had met earlier, it's hard to say what we would be like now."

This is exactly the reason why fate is so difficult to achieve. If there is not a little opportunity, both of us will be separated.
