Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Gu Yichuan was attacked again, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Because he had never thought that with his wife's personality, she would play tricks on him again and again?

However, when he saw the smile on Shen Nankui's face that was as bright as a spring flower, he was surprised again and couldn't help but stare at it for a long time.

"Fool, what are you doing?"

Another snowball flew over.

Gu Yichuan was teased three times. He smiled, but pretended to be angry and said, "It's the third time. I'm going to fight back."

He casually rolled up a snowball, but fearing it would hit Shen Nankui, he did not compact it and just threw it out loosely.

He hits the target every time he throws it.

Moreover, because the snowball was not compacted, it broke apart before hitting anyone, and the debris fell into her collar, which made Shen Nankui even more uncomfortable. She wanted to dig it out but couldn't, so she asked for help from Zhong Shan and Fang Cao who were standing aside to watch the fun, "Who of you can help me?"

We are all teenagers, how can we not like to play?

Fangcao ran over with a smile, "I'll help Madam!"

Zhong Shan could no longer sit still and said hurriedly, "That won't do. You are outnumbered and you are at a disadvantage. I will go and help you!"

The four people quickly divided into two camps.

Gu Yichuan and Zhong Shan took into consideration that the other party were women, so they did not dare to use strong force and dodged while throwing snowballs.

Shen Nankui and Fangcao divided the work. She was only responsible for making snowballs, while Fangcao was responsible for throwing them out.

The four of them had a great time.

Suddenly, Fangcao threw a snowball and hit Gu Yichuan in the eye. He cried "ouch" and covered his eyes.

Fangcao was so scared that she quickly apologized, "Sir, I didn't mean it!"

Shen Nankui also hurried forward to check, and saw that there was nothing wrong with Gu Yichuan's eyes, but his eye sockets were red.

Fangcao was filled with guilt, "It's all my fault for not using enough strength..."

Shen Nankui patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't blame you. I asked you to come play in the snow. If he wants to blame me, I'll take the blame!"

Gu Yichuan asked: "So, my wife is responsible for me?"

Shen Nankui nodded, "Well, tell me, how do you want me to atone for my sins?"

Gu Yichuan smiled, "Then I'll punish you by making you play the flute for me."

Shen Nankui nodded gracefully, "I am willing to serve you, sir."

She turned around and ordered, "Zhongshan, set the table and make tea."

Upon hearing this, Zhongshan immediately went to make arrangements, and Fangcao also hurriedly went into the house to get out two hand warmers.

Shen Nankui warmed his hands for a while, then took out his piccolo and slowly played it facing the bamboo forest.

The sun moved overhead, casting a lazy and warm light on the small courtyard, falling on the snow-capped tops of the green bamboo, and finally outlining a figure standing in the light.

The clear sound of the flute sounded. The music score was not complicated. The simple melody was fresh and natural, like a gurgling stream. The soft singing made people forget many distracting thoughts in their hearts, leaving only tranquility and calmness.

After the song was over, Gu Yichuan praised her without hesitation, "I will just play the flute and write a song about mountains and rivers. It is worth it to hear the girl's song today."

Shen Nankui smiled faintly, "It's just a little tune, you are exaggerating."

Gu Yichuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. "Although it's a minor tune, the meaning of the tune is rare. As the saying goes, you can tell a person by his music. That's how it is. Miss, why do you need to be so modest?"

Shen Nankui smiled, took a sip of tea, and pointed to the bamboo forest behind him.

"Good music, good tea, and good scenery. Are you satisfied, sir?"

"Extremely satisfied."

Gu Yichuan's face was also filled with a smile, and he asked, "Nan Kui, you seem particularly happy today?"

Shen Nankui nodded and said, "I don't know why, but when I came here, I felt very relaxed."

Gu Yichuan said: "Maybe it's because there are only you and me in this small courtyard."

Shen Nankui smiled and clapped his hands, "Yes, that's right. Here, I don't have to care about the Shen family or the Gu family. There are only you and me here. This is our home."

In this life or the previous one, she seemed to have never felt so relaxed.

The moment she stepped into the courtyard of Qingyu Lane yesterday, she seemed to have taken off all the shackles. She was not the mistress who was supposed to rule the Marquis' Mansion, nor was she the virtuous daughter-in-law of the Gu family, nor was she the adopted daughter of the Shen family who was supposed to sacrifice herself for others. In this small courtyard, she was just herself, and by her side, there was only the lover who would accompany her for the rest of her life.

After laughing for a while, she suddenly sighed, "Now that you mention it, I don't want to go back."

Gu Yichuan held her hand and said, "If you like it here, we can stay here for a while longer."

He had never had such a relaxed and happy moment.

Playing snowball fights, drinking tea and listening to music, appreciating the snow and chatting, being with the one he loves, without the disturbance of the outside world and without many rules, no matter what he does, he feels happy from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Nankui thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, Yichuan, I will stay in the capital for a while and go back when the private school starts, and you will stay in the capital to take the exam, how about that?"

Gu Yichuan shook his head, "I'm worried about you going alone, I'll take you there, it won't take more than a few days."

Shen Nankui patted his hands, "What are you afraid of? I still have Fangcao to accompany me. I'll ask Zhongshan to take me back. It will take at least five days to go back and forth. The road is bumpy and you won't be able to study peacefully. You'd better stay in Beijing."

After the matter was settled, Gu Yichuang picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Gu Qingrong to inform them of the arrangements.

After he finished writing, he asked, "Nan Kui, Yanxia Pavilion has just opened for business, and my elder brother and sister-in-law always look to you for advice. You haven't been back for so long, don't you have anything to say?"

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "I will let go sooner or later. Now that the supply and sales have reached a certain scale, I believe that my brother and sister-in-law can handle it."

Gu Yichuan couldn't help but sigh: "My wife is really good at planning."

Shen Nankui said modestly, "Thank you, thank you."

The two of them settled down in Qingyu Lane with peace of mind. The capital was the most lively during the first month of the year. After Gu Yichuan finished his studies in the morning, he would have free time in the afternoon. He would either accompany Shen Nankui to the market or temple fair, or they would linger in teahouses and taverns listening to storytelling and exploring delicious food.

Shen Nankui has lived in the capital for two lifetimes and is very familiar with everywhere. She takes Gu Yichuan with her, and the two of them go everywhere together. In the eyes of others, they are an enviable loving couple.

Or there are times when you don’t want to go out.

The two of them stayed in the small courtyard, the man played the piano and the woman played the flute, and once the courtyard door was closed, they had no time to pay attention to the wind and rain outside.

Shen Nankui felt that the scenery in the yard was a bit too monotonous except for the bamboo forest, so Gu Yichuang took her to the market and bought a few flowering trees that the vendor said could bloom as soon as they were planted, including plum blossoms, peach blossoms and crabapples.

He planted a few flowering trees under the south wall with his own hands and said to her with a smile: "Look, the plum blossoms on these branches have not fallen yet. Now is the perfect time. When you come back in spring, the peach blossoms will bloom too. When the peach blossoms fade, there are still crabapples. As long as I am here, you will never feel bored."

Shen Nankui laughed at him, "Then you have to take good care of them. If I don't see the flowers blooming when I come, I won't agree."

……

Happy times are always short. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for Shen Nankui to leave.
