"yes!"
Ping'er and the other maids quickly did as instructed.
Su Ruhua was ultimately more astute than Su Ruxue. After exchanging a glance with Su Ruxue, she muttered to herself with a look of doubt in her eyes, "Strange, how did he know that Mother liked Buddhist scriptures..."
Ping'er and the others continued to open the gift boxes, and found items such as green plum tea, eight-treasure porridge, and face masks. Of course, they didn't recognize these items, but they could read the words on them.
...
After obtaining the Buddhist scriptures, Madam Yan looked at the tea, wild ginseng, and donkey-hide gelatin and felt that each of these items was a treasure. However, since she had already said that she would distribute them to the servants, it was difficult for her to take back her words.
She glanced at the items, and Ping'er, knowing exactly what her mistress meant, secretly kept two boxes of each...
"It's snowing outside, so tell Yan'er and her husband not to go back. Let them stay at the manor for a few days. Yuan'er, you used to be Yan'er's personal maid, go and talk to them."
Madam Yan said to a maid.
This maid was pretty and had a refined air. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old and looked a little thin. Her large, bright eyes gave her face a lively and expressive quality.
"yes!"
Having received the lady's order, Yuan'er hurriedly went out to find Su Ruyan and Qin Chuan.
At this moment, Qin Chuan and Su Ruyan were watching the snow together in the corridor.
Su Ruyan was dressed in snow-white, with black hair and a tightly tied cloak, her face beaming with joy.
"My lord... please compose another poem..."
A gentle voice echoed softly through the corridor, making the scene of lovers quite captivating.
"Alright, then I'll compose another one..."
"The scenery of the Northland is magnificent, with thousands of miles of ice and snow."
"Looking beyond the Great Wall, all that remains is vastness; the Yellow River, both upstream and downstream, has lost its roaring flow."
"Mountains dance like silver snakes, plains gallop like wax elephants..."
"...Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were slightly inferior in literary talent, while Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song were somewhat lacking in poetic flair."
"...To see who are the truly remarkable figures, look to the present!"
After hearing Qin Chuan recite the poem, Su Ruyan was completely stunned, staring blankly at Qin Chuan as if she didn't recognize him.
After a long while, Su Ruyan sighed softly and said, "Husband..."
"So your poetic talent... far surpasses mine. So you've been hiding it all this time..."
Qin Chuan hugged Su Ruyan tighter: "What nonsense are you talking about, my wife? You are the best in the world."
Upon seeing this scene, Yuan'er, who was about to step forward, paused and hesitated, not wanting to interrupt the scene.
After a short while, Su Ruyan said, "Husband, this poem is very powerful. Although I don't know who Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han are, they are probably some emperor... but this poem is clearly..."
After a pause, Su Ruyan's voice became even softer: "...They clearly have the intention to rebel."
"Husband..." Su Ruyan smiled and whispered in Qin Chuan's ear, "Are you planning a rebellion?"
