WLAEF sidestory 12.1




Autumn turned to winter. More than two months passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Yun Zhu herself didn't notice that she and Shen Feng Ming were getting along more and more naturally, and the smiles on their faces were more and more.

The New Year was only half a month away and the streets already have a festive New Year atmosphere.

The New Year was probably going to be celebrated here this year. Yin Cui was thinking about what to do during the New Year this year. Jiang Yun Zhu also contemplated it.

Going to visit the temple fair in the capital? Shen Feng Ming was probably coming over during the New Year. Then they can eat dumplings together and do the New Year countdown together.

Thinking about it, she felt that it was still early and there was no use thinking about it now.

Bored, she tidied her things and discovered the knot she had made before. At that time, she was wondering what to match it with. Then those matters happened and she forgot about it. If she had time today, she might as well go shopping on the street.

The street was bustling. Jiang Yun Zhu visited a few shops and finally picked something she was satisfied with, a small white jade fish. The jade wasn’t the best, but the pro was that the carving was great and the carving was vivid.

The small white jade fish with red webs was quite beautiful.

After paying the money and walking back with the small fish, a person suddenly walked out from the side and stared at Jiang Yun Zhu with a gloomy expression.

It was Attendant Yu. The smile on Jiang Yun Zhu's face faded little by little.

Attendant Yu didn't move, just gazed at her.

Jiang Yun Zhu stepped toward her and approached her.

"Is it done?" asked Attendant Yu. In fact, she knew without asking that there was no such thing and came to see Jiang Yun Zhu.

Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head.

Attendant Yu snorted. How long it had been and nothing happened. She took out a paper bag from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yun Zhu.

"This is?" Jiang Yun Zhu was surprised.

"Don't worry, it's just some warming medicine. It won't do any harm to the body. Young Master is Master's child. Master will not harm him." Attendant Yu said.

Jiang Yun Zhu knew what was in this paper bag.

"Just put it in the wine." Attendant Yu stated and glared at Jiang Yun Zhu with disdain. If she wasn't so useless, why would Master be like this?

Jiang Yun Zhu stood there and didn't answer.

"En?" Attendant Yu raised her eyebrows. What, what did she have in mind?

Jiang Yun Zhu took the paper bag.

"Master is waiting to hear the news. Don't forget your identity." Attendant Yu said solemnly.

Identity? Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to laugh, but in the end she didn't. She shouldn't forget her identity. She was too indulgent these days.

Taking the paper bag and the fish, she returned to the courtyard.

After noon, the sky became gloomy. It looked like it was going to snow.

In the evening, Shen Feng Ming came.

Today, Jiang Yun Zhu personally cooked a few dishes and brought a pot of wine. She looked outside and said with a smile, "The belated snow."

"Green ants, newly fermented wine; a small red clay stove; snowing in the evening; nothing like a drink?"

At this time, there were exquisite dishes on the table as well as a small stove to warm the wine. It looked like it was snowing heavily outside. Compared to writing poems, having a drink was more appropriate.

Shen Feng Ming accepted the wine bottle and poured a glass for Jiang Yun Zhu and himself.

The cups clinked, making a crisp sound. After drinking the hot wine, their body seemed to feel warm instantly.

At this time, snowflakes were falling outside. At first they were just dots of snow stars, and then they became like goose feathers. It seemed that there was going to be a heavy snowfall today. 

Though there was heavy snowfall outside, inside the house was as warm as spring. Drinking hot wine and admiring the snow seemed to have a special feeling.

As she drank, Jiang Yun Zhu felt her body getting hot. She hesitated for a moment, then took out something from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Feng Ming, "For you.

It was a red knot with a small white jade fish hanging on it. Quite beautiful.

There was a flash of surprise in Shen Feng Ming's eyes. This must be the first time she gave him something!

Holding it in his hand, he looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"I made the knot myself. It's not good. I bought the small fish." At this point, Jiang Yun Zhu paused and whispered, "Used your silver to buy it. Then gifting it to you...."

She lowered her eyes. Shen Feng Ming's mind was all on the knot in his hand, so he didn't notice anything unusual about her. He only said, "I had said, mine is yours. No need to mention money. "

How could it be the same? Jiang Yun Zhu was speechless, "I want to open a restaurant in the future."

Shen Feng Ming looked at her, "Isn't the money enough?"

"No, I like to do this." Jiang Yun Zhu replied.

Shen Feng Ming stared at her for a moment, making sure that what she said was true before nodding. She could do whatever she wanted, as long as she was happy.

Jiang Yun Zhu grinned and didn't talk about this topic again. The two of them continued to drink and enjoy the snow.

Slowly, Shen Feng Ming also felt his body was getting hot.

He stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Yun Zhu's hand that was about to continue pouring wine. "Stop drinking. Drinking too much wine is not good. Go to bed early!"

Jiang Yun Zhu took back her hand and stood up, but unexpectedly, her body became weak.

Shen Feng Ming quickly supported her. His arms instantly filled with warmth and fragrance. On closer look, he could see that she drank too much today. Her face was flushed, while her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

"I'll support you go to rest." Shen Feng Ming said, helping Jiang Yun Zhu go to the inner room.

Jiang Yun Zhu seemed drunk and had no strength at all. She put her arms around his waist to stabilize herself.

Shen Feng Ming's body stiffened at once. He felt that his body was getting more and more restless. He endured it, helped her to the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

He wanted to get up, but discovered a hand grabbing his arm.

"It's snowing heavily outside. Please stay." A soft voice said.

Stay. This word floated into Shen Feng Ming's ears and exploded with a bang. There seemed to be a beast roaring and charging inside his body, and he could hardly control it.

He reached out to brush her hand and said with difficulty, "You are drunk, go to sleep early."

"I'm not drunk." Jiang Yun Zhu opened her eyes and stared at Shen Feng Ming, her eyes quite alluring.

Shen Feng Ming still wanted to brush off her hand, but it seemed that his body was out of control and he didn't brush her hand away.

On the contrary, Jiang Yun Zhu used strength to pull him to sit on the bed and press him against her body.

There seemed to be a flame burning in his heart. Burning so much so that all he could see was the delicate person beneath him.

"Do you like me?" Shen Feng Ming hoarsely asked that person.

After a moment of silence, the person uttered "Like."

Like. She like him...

The snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, but the house was full of spring sunshine.

It was already midnight in Shen Manor, but Princess Danyang was still awake, sitting in the hall drinking tea.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the hall, so it wasn’t cold at all.

"It's already this hour and Young Master hasn't come back yet." Attendant Yu grinned ear to ear, "Maybe Young Master won't come back tonight. Speaking of which, Heaven seems to be helping Master! It’s a snowy day, a day to keep the guest. "

Princess Danyang took another sip of tea, her face radiant joy as well as a little anger.

Her son, astonishingly talented, deserved better.

"It will be fine in the future." Observing her words and expressions, Attendant Yu coaxed,.

Princess Danyang felt better now, put down her teacup, and went to bed.

The next morning, the snow was still falling. The two people slept hugging each other on the couch in the small courtyard.

The bed was very messy, indicating the craziness of last night.

Shen Feng Ming opened his eyes, looked at the person in his arms, and smiled. He experienced bliss last night, both physically and mentally.

At this time, he didn't want to move. He just wanted to hold the person in his arms.

This was probably what happiness tastes like.

After half an hour, Jiang Yun Zhu woke up. She found herself being held in someone's arms, skin to skin with that person.

She knew that it was Shen Feng Ming.

She turned to the side, trying to get away.

The arms held her tighter.

She had no strength at all and could only let him hold her.

"Are you awake?" Shen Feng Ming asked.

"En. What time is it?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.

"It's 9." Shen Feng Ming said.

It was so late. Jiang Yun Zhu glanced outside. It was still snowing outside. Truly a heavy snowstorm.

The two of them laid there for a long time. When the snow outside finally stopped, Shen Feng Ming got up and put on his clothes.

Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to get up, but her body felt weak and her waist was sore. Feeling lazy, she didn't want to move.

"The weather is bad, do rest more." Shen Feng Ming covered her with a quilt and said.

Jiang Yun Zhu didn't move.

After Shen Feng Ming put on his clothes, he picked up the knot that Jiang Yun Zhu gave him yesterday and solemnly hung it around his waist. Then he took out a box from his sleeve, opened it, took out something from it, and handed it to Jiang Yun Zhu, "For you."

It was a white jade hairpin carved into the shape of a luan bird.

Different from the small fish Jiang Yun Zhu bought, this hairpin was made of top-grade mutton-fat jade.

"It's too valuable." Jiang Yun Zhu said.

"You’re still saying this to me. I knew that you are not a person who cares about money. You should also know about me. I carved this by myself, just want to give it to you. "Shen Feng Ming uttered.

Jiang Yun Zhu acquiesced.

Shen Feng Ming inserted the hairpin into her head. The black hair complemented the white hairpin perfectly. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead before declaring, "Marry me. I will go back and tell my parents today and prepare for the marriage."
