Chapter 62 Sleeping Together
Everyone in the capital didn't know that Lin Shuran and Gu Jingcheng were childhood sweethearts. In order to mourn for Gu Jingcheng, Lin Shuran stayed at the farm for three years and canceled many good marriages. If the emperor hadn't granted her the marriage, she might not have gotten married yet.
Yang also looked worried about Lin Shuran, but when she saw Lin Shuran seeing Song Qinglun's face, she was really surprised and confused at first, but soon she kept calm and did not let herself lose her composure. Thinking about it, now Lin Shuran is married.
If a person still behaves affectionately and unforgettably when she sees another man, then where should she put her husband Xu Junze?
Yang couldn't help but admire Lin Shuran. He had such determination and foresight at such a young age. This was not something ordinary people could achieve. Look at how many people in the hall lost their composure after seeing Song Qinglun.
Lin Shuran smiled calmly at Wen and Lei Yingying and said, "I'm fine, he's just a stranger, not a brother of the Gu family!"
Seeing Lin Shuran say this, Wen and the others were slightly relieved, but only Lin Shuran knew in her heart that she was pretending to be calm on the outside, but in fact she was in a turmoil inside. One hand was holding the tea cup steadily, and the other was hidden in her wide sleeve.
His hand was clenched into a fist, and there must have been red marks on his palm.
At this moment, the memories about the relationship between Lin Shuran and Gu Jingcheng suddenly gathered together when she saw Song Qinglun's face clearly, like a rushing flood opening the floodgates, strongly impacting her brain.
She could clearly feel that there were two forces fighting in her brain. One was the memory power that belonged to Lin Shuran, and the other was the power that belonged to her soul. These two forces were constantly colliding, confronting, and powerful.
The mental exhaustion forced her to sit at the table.
During the entire New Year's Eve palace banquet, she didn't show many expressions or movements. All her mind was occupied by the two forces in her mind. Her body was sitting in the hall, but she didn't know where her mind was.
Where.
Until she got on the carriage back home, until Xu Junze also got on the carriage and sat down next to her. Then he grabbed her left hand that was still clenched into a fist and forcefully opened her fingers that seemed to have become stiff. When he saw Lin Shuran's palm,
When the blood was already oozing out, his face was darker than the bottom of the pot.
"I -" Xu Junze's movements were not particularly gentle. Lin Shuran felt pain. It was this pain that brought her back to her senses. The two forces that were still entangled in her mind disappeared in an instant. She turned to Xu Junze with some confusion.
She raised her head and looked at him as if she didn't understand, and then her vision went dark as her mind was consumed too much and she fainted in his arms.
Looking at Lin Shuran, who had always been strong and calm and now unconscious in his arms, Xu Junze showed no surprise or panic on his face, and just asked the coachman to hurry the carriage home.
In the carriage, Xu Junze held Lin Shuran in his arms with a dark face. At today's palace banquet, she was like a puppet with a mask. She was obviously smiling, but he felt it was more uncomfortable than crying. It was obvious that she never looked at Song Qinglun.
But he felt that that face was all in her mind. She obviously played the role of the general's wife very well, but he felt extremely disappointed in his heart.
But soon a more determined light burst out from his cold eyes. Even if Gu Jingcheng really came to life, he would not back down. He was such a person. He was determined to do what he wanted to do, and no obstacles or difficulties could defeat him.
If he has never learned how to truly love someone before, then he is willing to learn from now on, just because the person he wants to give his true heart to is her.
The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded far and near in her ears, irritating Lin Shuran's eardrums. She opened her eyes, as if a person who had been walking alone in the darkness for a long time finally saw the light.
She wanted to get up, but found that there was a heat source around her that could not be ignored. She turned around in surprise and saw Xu Junze lying next to her. Looking at her body again, the two of them were covered with the same quilt.
Realizing that she and Xu Junze were lying on the same bed, Lin Shuran sat up suddenly, and Xu Junze, who had been sleeping, also opened his eyes.
Lin Shuran closed her eyes to calm down her panic. When she opened her eyes again, her face had returned to calm, but she pursed her lips in embarrassment and asked, "What time is it now?"
Xu Junze felt her nervousness from her slightly stiff back. He stood up and deliberately came closer to her and said, "It's just passed Yin Shi!"
Lin Shuran was even more startled by Xu Junze's sudden approach. She quickly got up and got out of bed, not caring that she had stepped over Xu Junze. She always felt that the temperature in the room was a bit hot. Could it be that the servants had overheated the charcoal fire?
A little more prosperous.
"Is it already so late?" Today is New Year's Eve. According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, the whole family has to stay together to watch the New Year's Eve. However, she fell asleep after coming back from the palace, and Xu Junze actually went to bed early. Could it be that this is New Year's Eve?
The Xu family has no rules about keeping the year old? "Don't you need to keep the year old today?"
"Brother Chen and the others are staying up late in their courtyard!" Xu Junze also got out of bed, then picked up the coat on the side and put it on Lin Shuran who was standing at the door looking out.
Other mansions were buzzing with firecrackers to celebrate the New Year, but Lin Shuran found that the General's Mansion was very quiet, with no unusual noises and no New Year atmosphere at all.
"Aren't firecrackers allowed at home?" Faced with Xu Junze's concern and approach, Lin Shuran subconsciously wanted to find another topic, maybe this could alleviate some of the embarrassment.
"No!" Xu Junze stood side by side with her and followed her gaze, "Mr. Mei said that you have been mentally exhausted and need to rest. Brother Chen and the others are afraid that the sound of firecrackers will disturb you."
Hearing what Xu Junze said, Lin Shuran felt very touched and guilty. Children always look forward to the lively New Year, but now because of themselves, Xu Mingchen and the others may have had the dullest New Year's Eve.
It's already the first day of the Lunar New Year, and some people have already set off firecrackers so loudly that the General's Mansion seems a little too deserted.
"I've had a good rest. Today is the New Year, so the house should be lively and lively. I asked Xu An to buy a lot of firecrackers before, let's set them off now!" Lin Shuran's face was filled with energy again. She could not be affected by the memory of the original owner's past.
In her current life, she should work harder and live happily.
Seeing that Lin Shuran had regained her energy, Xu Junze didn't say much, but ordered his servants to inform Xu Mingchen and the others that Lin Shuran had woken up and asked them to set off firecrackers.
As soon as Xu Mingchen and the others heard that Lin Shuran was fine and that Xu Junze asked them to set off firecrackers, they who were originally drowsy immediately became energetic. Seeing the servants bringing all kinds of fireworks, they jumped for joy.
Jump again.
