Chapter 276 Flowering Season
Lu Jing entered the pavilion. Su Qingwan was sitting inside waiting for him. She asked with a smile, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, why are you here with me instead of spending time with your family to enjoy the moon?"
"Since it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll naturally spend it with you." Lu Jing chuckled and took her hand, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
"I'm not going out today."
“We don’t go out.”
Lu Jing pulled her to the peony forest, where there was a large area of peonies. Although spring was the only flowering season of the year, the peonies in the courtyard were well cultivated. The peonies in this area were more beautiful than those in Lu's family. Su Qingwan didn't understand why he pulled her to the peony forest.
Lu Jing pulled her to the southeast corner, took a small shovel, and dug under a peony tree. Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion, "What did you hide? Gold?"
"What's there to hide in gold?" Lu Jing asked with a smile, "Do you like gold?"
"I like."
The gold can provide Huainan with a lot of military funds, and she likes it very much.
Lu Jing nodded, "Okay, next time I'll bury a field of gold in the yard, and I'll take you to dig one field a day, just like digging for treasure."
Su Qingwan couldn't help laughing and said, "Is the salary of being a regent so high? You can even cover the whole courtyard with gold."
"It's OK, enough to support the family."
Su Qingwan smiled but said nothing, waiting for him to dig out some treasure. Mid-Autumn Festival was the saddest time for her. In fact, she had gradually gotten used to being alone, sad, and mourning over the years. The Southwest Palace knew her temper and did not dare to disturb her. She always hid in the mountains alone, like a wounded beast licking its wounds alone, with no one to heal her. She was used to living alone like this.
In fact, she doesn't need anyone to heal her.
But with Lu Jing accompanying me, the feeling seems different. It turns out that having someone to accompany you and not having anyone to accompany you are really different. I don’t feel so depressed when he is around.
"What was buried so deep?"
"Found it!" Lu Jing wiped the sweat off his forehead. It was hot and he started sweating after a little exercise. He was also nervous and thought he had hidden it in the wrong place even though he clearly remembered it correctly.
The soil was dug up, revealing a jar of wine.
Su Qingwan was actually a little disappointed. It was actually a jar of wine, so tacky. She thought it was some treasure buried. If this man had a daughter, he would definitely bury a jar of wine as soon as her daughter was born, and use it to welcome guests when her daughter got married.
"It's just a jar of wine, what's so special about it?"
"It's nothing special, but this is Yaohuang wine." Lu Jing said with a smile, "I hired the best winemaker and bought all the best Yaohuang wines in Beijing that year."
"Can peonies also make wine?"
"A good winemaker can make anything. He is a craftsman and loves to make wine. He made some especially for me before he left. That year I was thinking about meeting you again during the peony season one day. It would not be a waste for me to drink a cup of wine with you under the peony flowers." Lu Jing shook the wine jar as if to take credit, not caring about his sleeves getting dirty.
Su Qingwan was in a very complicated mood. "Lu Jing, have you really been looking forward to our reunion since you came back from the southwest?"
"Of course!" Lu Jing had never lied about this. "Every time the peony flowers bloom, I look forward to seeing you again. I finally got you here."
This person belongs to him from now on. He can't run away even if he wants to. He will never allow it.
"Let's go and have a drink!" He held the jar of wine in one hand and wanted to hold Su Qingwan's hand, but then he remembered that Su Qingwan loved quietness, and his hands were dirty, so he retracted his hand halfway through.
Su Qingwan curled her lips into a smile and took the initiative to hold his hand.
Coward, you have done such bold things, but you are so cautious about holding hands.
