Shangguan Yunting sent several eloquent speakers to various cities to promote Yunrou Porcelain Workshop's products. These speakers were all eloquent and knew the advantages and characteristics of the products like the back of their hands.

Introduce Yunrou Porcelain Workshop’s products to merchants in detail and demonstrate their uniqueness.

After a period of hard work, the products of "Yunrou Porcelain Workshop" have gradually attracted people's attention and recognition.

Many merchants were attracted by the quality and reputation of the products and came to the "Yunrou Porcelain Workshop" in Yunzhou City to place orders.

For a moment, the shop was crowded and bustling.

Everyone was filled with joy and pride as they watched the business flourish.

Soon it was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it was snowing heavily. Shangguan Yunting asked Shen Rouxue to meet him outside the city.

They rode their horses out of the city, leaving behind rows of horse hoof prints.

The snowflakes fluttered down, as if covering the earth with a thick layer of silver.

The mountains in the distance are shrouded in snow, appearing and disappearing, like a beautiful ink painting.

They walked along the path, the sound of their horses' hooves echoing in the silent snow.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and they couldn't help shivering.

Shen Rou looked at the vast expanse of white snow. She was freezing and had no idea why he took her out of the city.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Shangguan Yunting looked at Shen Rou affectionately, his eyes full of reluctance, "I have to go back to the barracks to spend the New Year with the soldiers. I don't know when I can come back to see you after the New Year."

"Don't worry, go back. We can keep in touch through letters. During the Chinese New Year, we will also take grandma back to her hometown to visit grandpa and uncle."

"I just can't bear to leave you."

"I won't run away. I'll be back after the New Year. As long as you have time to come back, you can see me. I'll keep the dividends with me, or I'll ask someone to send them to you."

"I feel safe leaving it with you."

"Don't be afraid that I'll run away with the money."

"I have no objection to giving it to you."

Shen Rou blushed and her heart beat fast. She shyly rode forward on her horse. Shangguan Yunting also rode after her on horseback. The two of them chased each other.

Shen Rou's hair fluttered in the wind, and her laughter was as clear as a silver bell.

Shangguan Yunting looked at her back, his heart filled with joy.

He sped up and caught up with her. When he was about to catch up with Shen Rou, he jumped onto Shen Rou's horse and gently put his arms around her waist.

He buried his head in her neck, feeling her breath.

Shen Rou's body trembled slightly, and she tried to break free from Shangguan Yunting's arms, but his strength made her unable to move.

There was a hint of shyness in Shen Rou's voice, "Yun Ting, let me go!"

Shangguan Yunting's deep and magnetic voice came, "Don't move, it will be fine in a moment, let me remember your smell and scent."

His thin lips gently pressed against Shen Rou's neck, feeling her warmth and softness.

Shen Rou's heartbeat became faster and faster, and her breathing became rapid. In this cold winter, the two of them felt like they were in the world of ice and fire.

Soon Shen Rou discovered changes in Shangguan Yunting's body. When she was at a loss, Shangguan Yunting flew onto his horse's back to prevent Shen Rou from discovering the changes in his body.

Shen Rou blushed, and she wondered who could resist this man's teasing. If she had a modern body, she would have pounced on him and fought him for three hundred rounds without a break.

But the ancient body was thin and small, and she didn't have the courage to challenge Shangguan Yunting's adult body.

After Shangguan Yunting calmed down, he looked at Shen Rou and breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that she was not angry.

"Xiao Rou, I'll leave Ye Qing behind to protect you before I leave."

"I don't need anyone to protect me. Take them all away."

"Master Yang, will you come to teach Xiaoxue and Xiaonan next year?"

"Come."

Shangguan Yunting took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms and handed it to Shen Rou, "This is a gift I prepared for you. Inside is a jade hairpin. I hope you like it."

Shen Rouxue opened the box and saw the jade hairpin inside, her heart filled with joy.

"Thank you, I love it."

"When you leave, I'll prepare food for you on the way."

"If we don't leave tomorrow, we will definitely leave the day after tomorrow. It will take seven or eight days on the road."

"We still have time to go back and prepare."

"Is it so urgent? I want to be alone with you for a while."

Shen Rou thought that if she stayed alone any longer, something bad would happen.

"I'll go back and prepare some noodles for you. You can boil some water and eat them on the way. It's so cold on the road, you need to eat something hot to warm yourself up."

"You're still thoughtful."

The two men rode back on horseback.

At this moment, Shangguan Rui also told Shen Xue that he was going to leave with Uncle Jiu.

Shangguan Rui looked at Shen Xue expectantly, "Will you miss me when I'm gone?"

"I definitely missed you."

Shangguan Ruiting stopped and took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Shen Xue.

"This jade is very important to me. I give it to you. Please keep it well."

Shen Xue quickly returned the jade pendant to Shangguan Rui, "Brother Yunrui, please keep this important thing to yourself. If I lose it, you won't be able to pay me back even if you sell me off."

Shangguan Rui smiled dotingly, "Silly girl, even if I lost it, I wouldn't ask you to return it. I just felt that after I left this time, I didn't know when I would see you again, so I gave you a gift as a memory."

"I will definitely think of you, but this jade pendant is so important to you, I'm afraid of losing it."

"It's okay, just keep it safe. If you lose it, forget it."

"Brother Yunrui, I..."

"Don't be so me, I'm taking you to buy some New Year gifts for your elder sister, grandma, and Xiaonan."

"Okay then! I'll buy you a gift as a souvenir too."

Shen Xue put the jade pendant in her arms and gently touched its position to make sure it was there before she felt relieved.

"I don't want you to buy it, I want you to make it yourself."

"You're leaving soon and there's no time for me to do anything!"

Shangguan Rui saw her purse and said, "Didn't you embroider that purse yourself? Just give it to me!"

Shen Xue held the purse and looked at Shangguan Rui in embarrassment. "Brother Yunrui, this... this purse is the first time I embroidered it. It's too ugly. I'm embarrassed to give it to you. How about I rush to embroider it for you tonight? Don't be disgusted if it's not good."

"No, I like anything you make yourself."

"Now let's go buy some gifts and bring back some fabric."

Shangguan Rui smiled dotingly and said softly, "Okay."

Beichu and Beize followed behind them and whispered, "Beichu, what do you think the master meant by giving Xiaoxue the relics left to him by Concubine Ruan?"

"Why don't you just ask?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"If you're not stupid, why would you ask such a question?"

"I'm just curious. The master used to treasure this jade pendant so much, and now he actually gave it to Xiaoxue."

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Master, you don't like Xiaoxue, do you?"

"I only see it now and still say you're not stupid."

"Their statuses are completely different, and Xiaoxue even spent some time in a brothel. Even if nothing happened, but..."

"Shut up! Let the master know you'll be punished for mentioning this."

"I'm just worried..."

"That's not something you should worry about. As guards, we obey our master's orders. We should just turn a deaf ear to everything else."

"I see."
