Chapter 44 Vinegar Essence Essence
When the air is stagnant, a breeze blows slowly, and the branches of the pomegranate tree sway with the wind, wafting out the fragrance of the ripening fruit.
Shen Yu fumbled for the jade ring in his hand, lowered his head, and didn't speak for a while.
After a long time, he said: "The rules in your hometown are different from those in our Duan Dynasty."
Wen Wan was still embarrassed and said casually, "Every place has its own customs and habits. Isn't this normal..."
Halfway through her words, she stopped in horror, and then looked at Shen Yu with a guilty conscience.
What he just said was "We are going to court", did he mean to exclude her?
Is he testing her?
He already suspected that she was not from Duan Dynasty?
There is a saying that "people who are not of my race must have different minds."
Wen Wan suddenly broke into a cold sweat on her back, fearing that Shen Yu would directly kill her as an alien.
Fortunately, Shen Yu didn't seem to notice the flaw in her words, and instead put the ring on his finger.
“The size is just right.”
He raised his jade finger and smiled.
Wen Wan nodded bravely. Maybe she was frightened by his words just now, but she was actually a little uneasy at the moment.
Shen Yu looked no different from the first, and he also took out a box from his arms.
"Since you gave me a gift, I also have something to give you."
Wen Wan didn't know why, so she took the box and opened it, and found that the box actually contained parts of a combo crossbow.
She asked in surprise: "Is this one of the ones you showed me last time?"
"Yeah." Shen Yu admitted.
Wen Wan: "Why did you give me this?"
Shen Yu smiled and said: "Guess?"
Are you still cheating on her?
Wen Wan curled her lips and thought for a moment, "Is it possible that you brought the parts of these three combo crossbows out of the cemetery under the Empress Temple?"
Shen Yu nodded approvingly, "Yes. You can't enter the tomb empty-handed. You also entered the tomb at that time. You can take this."
"Uh... are you worried that I will be cursed if I come back empty-handed?"
If he hadn't mentioned it, Wen Wan would have forgotten about it. She didn't expect that he would even notice this detail.
Shen Yu was noncommittal, "I have already asked someone to draw the drawings of the parts, so it is useless for me to keep this part. You can just take it."
He said it so lightly, but he carried it with him, clearly taking this matter to heart.
A warmth arose in Wen Wan's heart, and when she raised her head again, her eyebrows were filled with smiles.
Shen Yu's eyes fell on her face, and he was burned by the bright smile, and he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
Outside the courtyard gate, Jin Mu looked at the two people standing and sitting from a distance, and finally let out a long breath.
Agui, the young man standing next to him, looked puzzled, "Commander Jinmu, is that the outer room that the general is interested in?"
Jin Mu was stunned and quickly covered Agui's mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense. If Miss Xiaowan hears this, she will definitely be angry. When she is angry, the general will also be in a bad mood. It will be us who suffer later."
Agui: "Oh. But why is Miss Xiaowan unhappy? For her sake, the general did not even live in the huge Shen Mansion, but moved to this small courtyard."
Kaneki explained: "What do you know at your young age? Which woman doesn't want a serious status?"
Hearing this, Agui suddenly realized, "I understand. I'm afraid that Miss Xiaowan won't be able to wait until the day when she becomes a real person. Our general has a decent wife."
Jin Mu frowned, who could say otherwise? The general's wife still lives in the backyard of Shen's mansion.
Thinking of this, Jin Mu warned again: "You must be tighter. The news that Miss Xiaowan lives here must not be spread back to the house."
Agui nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Commander Jin, I know this."*
Three days later, Wen Wan moved from the side courtyard to the small courtyard on South Street with her big and small bags.
The mute woman came with a group of children to help clean up. After a busy day, everyone finally took care of several rooms at dusk.
As a young adult, Shen Zhou went to the outskirts of the city to dig up an osmanthus sapling, and took Wen En with him to plant the sapling in the corner of the yard.
Although it is a small sapling, there are some golden flowers on the branches. The fragrance of the flowers is not strong, but just right.
As soon as the seeds were planted, Wen En took Wen Wan to see them.
Wen Wan raised her hand and patted his head.
"It's very good. Next year, this osmanthus tree will grow taller than you. Then we will pick some osmanthus flowers to make wine, and you will make a roast lamb. Life will not be too beautiful."< br>
"Yes." Wen En nodded solemnly, his eyes full of longing for the future.
He sent her away with another word, and Wen Wan couldn't help but sigh.
"When will you be able to speak normally? You are so precious with your words that you make me look like a one-man show clown."

Winn frowned and said: "Not ugly. Good-looking."
"You mean I'm not ugly, I'm good-looking?" Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then bent over with a smile.
"Xiao Enen, that's it. I take back what I just said. Seeing that although you talk less, you still don't forget to praise me. You can say whatever you want in the future."
When Wen En saw her smiling, his eyes became gentler.
After dinner was ready, Shen Zhou came over and asked them to go to the main room for dinner.
Wen Wan agreed and said to Shen Zhou: "Go next door and ask your brother Achai to come over and eat together."
"Okay." Shen Zhou left happily.
Wen En's smile froze on his face, he grabbed Wen Wan's wrist and asked, "He lives next door?"
Wen Wan nodded, "Ah, did I forget to tell you? This yard was rented to us by Captain Zhou. The rent is cheap. He lives next door. He is good at martial arts. Generally, Xiaoxiao does not dare to act recklessly. He can also keep us safe. .”
She didn't think there was any problem with this. She paid the rent according to the market price, which was considered a transaction.
Wen En's face gradually turned cold.
Seeing this, Wen Wan said, "Well, are you still angry about what he did when he tested you last time? It was indeed something he did wrong. I'll ask him to apologize to you later, okay?"
Winn lowered his head and said nothing.
"Yeah..." Wen Wan called him awkwardly, with the meaning of pleading.
A coldness flashed in Winn's eyes, but his face returned to normal.
He calmly uttered one word, "Okay."
Wen Wan showed a happy smile like an old father, "I knew that Enen in our family is a generous person. Enen is so good, I will grab a big pig's trotter for you later and reward you well."
Wen En responded obediently, but from the corner of his eye, he saw the arch in the middle of the courtyard open, and Shen Zhou pushing Shen Yu appeared behind the door.
His pupils shrank for a moment, then he suddenly reached out to hug Wen Wan, and then put on a frightened and timid face.
"Sister, I'm afraid!"
It looked like he subconsciously hugged Wen Wan because he was afraid.
Wen Wan followed his gaze and saw Shen Yu, thinking that he had a shadow on Shen Yu, so she could only comfort her: "Don't be afraid, sister just said that it was a misunderstanding last time, and he will not hurt you."
As soon as Shen Yu entered the yard, he saw that humble slave hugging Wen Wan.
