There are only two or three days before New Year's Eve. On the morning of the 27th, Lu Chengfeng and his party set off back to Ding'an City. Lu's mansion had already been cleaned up. Lu Chengfeng helped Hu Rong enter the door. Looking at the plaque, he felt a lot of emotion, and finally said: : "This plaque has to be replaced."

When the three of them entered, Hu Rong said, "I'm really tired after driving for two days. I'll go and rest first."

Lu Chengfeng nodded, and ordered Dong Jiu to arrange a guest room: "The first room on the east side of Xiyuan."

It was the wing room that Hu Rong used to live in, the window was not the courtyard wall, you could see the night when you opened it.

Dong Jiu led the people over.

Jin Wei came to report that the food was ready, and the Xiyuan wing room also sent a copy. Lu Chengfeng and Xie Jiuxiao walked through the snowflakes, and just arrived under the eaves, only to hear the noise coming from inside.

The two looked at each other and stepped into the hall. The table was covered with exquisite dishes. Cheng Yao, Du Rufeng, and Jiang Yunnan were sitting from left to right. Seeing them, Cheng Yao said: " Yoyo, the prince is back—”

Lu Chengfeng smiled suddenly, and was about to sit down when he walked over, but Cheng Yao stretched out his hand to stop him: "Want to sit? Here——"

She motioned Lu Chengfeng to look at the table: "Three glasses of wine, punish yourself first."

Lu Chengfeng had a doubtful expression: "Why should I punish myself when I'm so good?"

Cheng Yao said: "You want me to tell you? You are at the border—"

"Drink, drink!" Lu Chengfeng stopped her, raised his glass and drank three in one go, and then he was able to sit down and said, "Why are you three coming to my house faster than me?"

Xie Jiuxiao filled an empty bowl with vegetarian dishes, Lu Chengfeng poured another glass of wine by himself, and heard Cheng Yao say: "As far as his hypocrisy is concerned, the two of you are definitely not as fast as us in the carriage."

As soon as Lu Chengfeng took the chopsticks, Xie Jiuxiao pushed the bowl over. Lu Chengfeng looked at it and smiled, and said, "You three are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. It doesn't matter if you get a little snow."

Cheng Yao snorted and was too lazy to refute. The five of them gathered around the stove and started eating. Before New Year's Eve, someone in the city had already started to set off fireworks. They drank a few pots and looked out of the window when they heard the movement. Du Rufeng Sighed: "This year——"

Sitting next to him, Jiang Yunnan said, "This year is a good one."

Several people got drunk at the end, and Lu Chengfeng drank a lot today, Xie Jiuxiao arranged the wing room, and Cheng Yao climbed up to Lu Chengfeng: "I said you... why are you running-come and drink- —”

She wanted to drag Lu Chengfeng into the house, but she didn't pull it for a while, but Xie Jiuxiao kicked the door in and closed it.

Two yards away, Xie Jiuxiao carried the man on his back. Lu Chengfeng was not so drunk that he was unconscious, and hugged him tightly. The guards in the mansion pretended not to see him.

Lu Chengfeng lay on his shoulders, the journey was very brisk, she laughed, Xie Jiuxiao said: "Next time, don't drink with her."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Now you even have to control my drinking."

"Take care, otherwise the two of you will have to drink until dawn, and I won't be able to sleep alone."

Lu Chengfeng didn't hide or stop him and said, "It turns out that you have to hug me so that you can sleep well."

"What do you think?" Xie Jiuxiao asked her back.

Soon he arrived at the garden, the servants had already cleaned up, even the ground fire was burning, Xie Jiuxiao put down the man, took off his cloak, and when he turned around, Lu Chengfeng had already slumped on the bed.

He walked over, took off her shoes and socks, and his outer robe, and wrapped her in the quilt, Lu Chengfeng suddenly said: "Do you miss home?"

Xie Jiuxiao sat beside the bed, the light cast a warm light on his face, which looked soft in the night, Xie Jiuxiao said: "Home? You are here, this is home."

Lu Chengfeng looked at him.

Xie Jiuxiao said again: "I miss my eldest brother, my sister-in-law and An'er, and occasionally I think of my friends in Yanjing. I can give up many things because they all have their own lives in the future. And my future life, only I want to earn a lot of money and spend the rest of my life with you."

Lu Chengfeng got hot-headed after drinking, and said, "You really look like a little daughter-in-law—"

Xie Jiuxiao saw her feeling sleepy, pulled up the quilt, and said, "Go to sleep."

This year is a stable year, in the heavy snow, the three of them sat at the table and had a New Year's Eve dinner, talking about insignificant and interesting things. After the fifteenth day, Hu Rong was going to return to Yanjing.

After Lu Chengfeng sent him away, Wu Ju came to the door. Wu Ju took the initiative to resign from the position of general. Lu Chengfeng did not refuse, and agreed with a smile. The two talked for a long time in the study room, but it was rare when they finally came out easy.

Soon it will be February, the ice and snow are showing signs of melting, and spring is slowly coming. The news that the academy accepts girls has spread as early as the year, and there has been a school fever in the local area. Since Lu Chengfeng took care of these miscellaneous affairs , Military affairs are basically nothing to do, one day after the spring of March, Lu Chengfeng dealt with a lot of business, when Xie Jiuxiao returned to the mansion, he was reading a letter from Yanjing.

Maybe it was because she was a little focused, but she didn't realize it until she approached, raised her head, and said to her, "Brother has sent a letter."

Xie Jiuxiao's tone was brisk, obviously very happy to receive this letter, Lu Chengfeng unbuttoned his coat and said, "What did you say?"

"I talked a lot, about the recent events at home, the white lotus in Qinyuan is about to bloom, and An'er can stand upright now."

Lu Chengfeng nodded, passed him and poured a cup of tea, and said: "Then go back and have a look, the pond of white lotus in Qinyuan should bloom in a month. Although Subei has a vast land, the delicate white lotus Flowers are difficult to grow, even if there are, they can only be kept in the pool and carefully protected every day, which is less interesting.”

Xie Jiuxiao blinked and turned to look at her. Before he could speak, a person outside the door said, "I'm going too!"

Xie Jiuxiao frowned, looking at Cheng Yao who strode in: "What are you going to do when we go to Yanjing?"

Cheng Yao casually squeezed a pear from the table and said, "I haven't seen what Yanjing is like, why not go see the world? Anyway, the world in Subei is peaceful, what's wrong with me wandering around?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at Cheng Yao thoughtfully, understood her worry, and sat down to drink tea.

Cheng Yao took a bite, hummed involuntarily, and looked down at the pears: "Where do you buy pears that are so sweet!"

Xie Jiuxiao said indifferently: "The freshest pick from Nanling."

"Tut tsk tsk—" Cheng Yao looked at Lu Chengfeng with contempt on her face, "Look at him, look at this delicate appearance—"

Cheng Yao was not afraid of death and tore off Xie Jiuxiao's clothes: "Look at this material again, it burns money!"

Xie Jiuxiao was dissatisfied: "I can spend my money as I want!"

"Huahuahua didn't tell you not to let you spend!"

"I said you deliberately made me unhappy, didn't you?"

Lu Chengfeng held his forehead speechlessly, these two people are really speechless.

After Wu Ju was at home, the South Camp was handed over to Jiang Yunnan. So far, the four major camps in Subei had been replaced.

In April, the grass was growing and the warbler was flying, and there was greenery everywhere along the way, but there was no delay along the way, and the fast horse arrived in Yanjing City seven days later.

It was evening at that time, and it was just dark when a group of six arrived at Xie's mansion. Xie Jiuxiao couldn't hide his joy from the moment he entered the city, and had already rushed in when he reached the gate of the mansion.

As soon as the servant saw someone, he shouted happily: "Second Young Master——Second Young Master is back! Hurry up and report to Eldest Young Master!"

Lu Chengfeng led Cheng Yao to follow behind, Dong Jiu followed Lu Chengfeng out of habit, and the guard at the door had already saluted: "Meet King Dingbei!"

Cheng Yao was startled by the loudness.

When the butler arrived after receiving the news, Lu Chengfeng was talking with Cheng Yao in the Qinyuan Pavilion. Cheng Yao looked at the place and said, "I really wronged Xie Jiuxiao on weekdays. Xie's mansion is so big. Living in such a nice garden since I was young, Jiao Didi is normal."

The butler stepped forward with a happy face and said respectfully, "Young lady is well."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, but the housekeeper is still the same as usual."

The butler laughed and said, "I'm old. I'm old. The eldest son hasn't returned yet. The young lady went to look for it in the afternoon. She thought it was a long way to go back and forth, so she stayed in the criminal department. Please forgive me."

Lu Chengfeng waved his hand: "No problem."

She looked around and asked, "Where are the people from Jiuxiao?"

Why didn't this smoke come out for a long time?

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Xie Jiuxiao walked over at the door holding a little doll with happy eyes: "Look at who this is?"

The child scowled.

"This is my aunt, Xie An—"

Xie An, who could not speak, burst into earth-shattering cries.
