Green bricks and green tiles, flowers bloom by the path, their fragrance staining clothes; vermilion gates and purple halls, delicate hands pluck stars, making neon into garments.

Chapter 300 Before Leaving the House
Lin Hao pulled the stunned young man over and kissed him.
Originally, they had made an appointment to have dinner together before Ah Shuo left Beijing, but a sudden emergency order made them miss the meal.
At that time, she thought that she should not wait any longer to do what she wanted to do in the future, so as to avoid regrets.
Right now, she just wants to kiss Ah Shuo.
The summer wind grew stronger, and rose petals were blown down, landing on their clothes, leaving behind a faint fragrance.
Baozhu was basking in the sun, feeling a little sleepy.
Suddenly something fell, and the little maid was so scared that she opened her eyes suddenly and found that it was a brightly colored shuttlecock.
She looked around suspiciously, and her eyes finally fell on the wall.
Is someone playing shuttlecock over there?
Thinking of this, the little maid ran up skillfully and easily climbed to the top of the wall.
On the other side of the wall stood two servants, raising their heads in the same manner, looking down from above like a pair of fools.
"Whose shuttlecock is this?" Baozhu asked crisply, holding the beautiful chicken feather shuttlecock.
"His!" Changning pointed at Changshun.
Changshun was obviously slower to react and said hurriedly, "It's his!"
"You guys also like to play shuttlecock?" the little maidservant clinging to the wall asked curiously.
The two servants said in unison: "I don't like it!"
Why kick it if you don't like it? Baozhu frowned and threw the colorful shuttlecock over.
When Baozhu disappeared, Changning stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
Changshun reluctantly slapped the purse into Changning's hand and sighed distressedly, "How could this be such a coincidence?"
Changning had just made a bet with him, saying that Baozhu must be on the other side of the wall at this time, but he didn't believe it, and then... the bag of money was gone.
Lin Hao and Qi Shuo walked out around the flower stand.
"Baozhu, who were you talking to just now?"
Baozhu came over briskly. "Changning and Changshun, they were playing shuttlecock and kicked it towards the wall."
Lin Hao looked towards Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo: Why is his servant so abnormal?
Baozhu suddenly came closer: "Girl, there are leaves on your head!"
Qi Shuo's face was slightly hot, and he saw Lin Hao calmly lower his head: "Help me take it off."
He couldn't help but reflect: Maybe... he was too rigid?
The next day, Princess Jing went to the general's residence in person to discuss the marriage with the old lady and Lin.
"The prince and I have decided to get the wedding done this month. After all, it's been delayed for so long, and the two children are not young anymore. Of course, it all depends on what the old lady and Mrs. Lin think."
Although the royal family is not as well-off as the general's, Princess Jing is very humble, which is also a statement from the boy's parents that they are satisfied with the girl.
Lin looked at the old lady.
On important matters, I still listen to my mother.
The old lady certainly wouldn't object: "Princess, you're right. It's already been decided, there's no need to delay it any further. Everything we need for the wedding has already been prepared."
If it weren't for the prince's death, the marriage would have been completed long ago.
Once the deal was done, the subsequent process was quickly and smoothly carried out.
The betrothal gifts sent by the prince's palace filled the courtyard of the general's mansion. Among them, a pair of red corals more than one meter tall were the most eye-catching. They were gifts from the emperor.
Not only that, Emperor Tai'an also bestowed a farm in the suburbs of Beijing as a gift to the newlyweds.
Before getting married, Lin Hao invited several good friends to a small gathering, including the young princess Qi Qiong, the eldest daughter of Huai'an Marquis's Mansion Chen Yi, the fourth daughter of Yichun Marquis's Mansion Zhu Jiayu, the daughter of Xiliang Marquis's Mansion Tao Qing, and two people who had just become familiar to everyone, one was the second daughter of Weiwu Marquis's Mansion Kou Wan, and the other was the daughter of a wealthy family Chi Caiyun.
The fact that these two people were able to become familiar with others so quickly has something to do with Lin Haokai's scentless flower dew shop.
During the months that Qi Shuo was away from the capital, Lin Hao certainly didn't focus all her attention on missing her lover. On the contrary, because it was unpleasant to worry about someone, she spent most of her time on the flower dew shop to divert her attention.
Fragrance-free flower dew opened its fourth branch, and it is located in the south.
Many things are so ridiculous. Even though there was war everywhere, the business of the first three flower dew shops was not affected at all. Even the newly opened flower dew shop in the south became profitable in a very short time.
It seems that as long as the war does not reach us, there will be peace and prosperity.
In fact, the number of refugees has increased significantly.
In years of disaster, apart from the government, wealthy families all had the custom of providing free porridge. Lin Hao used the name of Hualu Shop to provide relief to the refugees, helping them to survive the cold weather.
Qi Qiong and others joined in after hearing about it.
They all had soup kitchens in their homes, big or small, but the experience was completely different when they personally participated with their own money.
For example, Chi Caiyun is a very down-to-earth girl. When she was excited, she took out all her pocket money and even had no money to treat Lin Hao and Zhu Jiayu to lobster.
Lin Hao saw that they could not continue in business for long as they only had outflows but no income, so a few of them jointly opened a fourth flower dew shop.
"I didn't expect Ah Hao to be the first among us to get married." Zhu Jiayu smiled and raised her wine glass. "Ah Hao, I wish you and Prince Jing a long and happy life together."
The cup contains light golden fruit juice, which looks good and tastes good.
Lin Hao thanked him and drank it all in one gulp.
Others also toasted.
Lin Hao looked at the smiling faces. Although he was drinking fruit juice that had no taste of alcohol, he felt a warm intoxication.
Except for Kou Wan and Chi Caiyun, everyone present is engaged, and Chen Yi and Tao Qing's wedding date is also this year.
No matter what the future holds, at least at this moment, everyone is looking forward to the future. Some of them have followed the routine to the present, while others have led lives completely different from their previous lives.
That’s great.
Lin Hao drank another glass of fruit juice and thought so.
After they finished eating, seeing that it was still early, they went to the Hualu Shop together.
April is the time when flowers are in full bloom. Women also change into light summer clothes and pay more attention to beauty in all aspects. Therefore, the business of flower dew shops is very good.
Seeing that the shop was too crowded, the few people did not go in and leisurely strolled around the various shops along the street.
Half an hour later, everyone had a lot more things in their hands: exquisite round fans, beautiful oil-paper umbrellas, novel jewelry, sour and sweet preserved fruits, crispy and fragrant sesame cakes...
In fact, I didn't spend much money, but I was in a particularly good mood.
Just as they were walking along the street lined with shops, a little girl running towards them knocked the bag of candied fruits out of Chi Caiyun's hand.
Peach preserves, tangerine cakes, dried apricots, green plums... colorful candied fruits rolled all over the floor. Chi Caiyun was so angry that she grabbed the little girl's wrist and said, "What's wrong with you? You're running faster than a wild horse on the street—"
He paused for a moment when he saw the little girl's face full of tears and a panicked look.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" the little girl kept saying, turned her head back in panic, broke free from Chi Caiyun's hand and ran forward.
During this delay, the people chasing behind caught up.
