Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was already dark.

Jiang Yuzhu propped up the window and stretched out her hand. As expected, another crystal snowflake fell on her hand.

"No wonder it's bitterly cold in the North, and at least half of the year is spent in winter..."

Jiang Yuzhu was about to turn around when she was suddenly hugged by Xie Zhao from behind.

After a long pause, Jiang Yuzhu said angrily: "Yuanhe, what are you doing?"

According to Northland custom, there is also a meal of dumplings on New Year’s Eve.

The servants have prepared the fillings and agreed to make dumplings together in the side hall later.

"Get your dirty hands off, these two days..."

After Xie Zhao came back, Jiang Yuzhu was so troubled that she could hardly get out of bed.

In the original book, the male protagonist is cold and unattractive to women. Jiang Yuzhu really wanted to write a short essay to refute it, but she can prove that it is not the case!

Xie Zhao is not as cold and ascetic as he appears, but on the contrary, he is extremely talented.

Jiang Yuzhu has experienced this feeling many times.

"Yuzhu, is my husband so anxious in your eyes?"

Xie Zhao lowered his eyes and stroked his sleeves with his fingers, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Then he fell silent.

Sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, Jiang Yuzhu turned around, and out of the corner of her eye just caught the flash of grievance in Xie Zhao's eyes.

For a moment, Jiang Yuzhu was stunned.

After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she had stepped on Xie Zhao's sore spot with her unbridled words?

Perhaps, men also want face in some aspects.

For this reason, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. People who are celebrating the New Year shouldn't make each other unhappy.

Or, coax him?

Having a clear view of his wife's subtle transformation, Xie Zhao suppressed the glint in his eyes and said sadly: "You and I have been separated for a while. Because I miss my wife so much, I really have no self-control as a husband."

Xie Zhao took out a red silk purse from his sleeve pocket, held it up with both hands, and said solemnly, "Yuzhu, this is a New Year's gift from my husband."

Jiang Yuzhu looked down and saw that the purse was embroidered with gold thread and made into a drawstring design.

She subconsciously opened it and saw the pearl hairpin ring inside, and couldn't help but be attracted.

The double-layer flower design has a small flower on top, like a stamen, and a large flower on the bottom to support the base.

Golden beads are used as a connection between pearls. The finishing touch is the pink beads on each petal. They are of the same size and bright in color, which is really rare.

"Husband, what a beautiful pearl hairpin!"

Because of her excessive liking, Jiang Yuzhu's name changed involuntarily.

She looked at Xie Zhao, feeling even more guilty.

I think Xie Zhao was standing behind her, intending to help her put it on and give her a surprise.

In the final analysis, Jiang Yuzhu was cautious and misunderstood.

Besides, the two of them are already married. It is human nature to have sex, and it is not a happy life for one person.

"As long as Ma'am likes it."

Xie Zhao took a step back and deliberately kept a distance from Jiang Yuzhu, "The jewelry I made for my husband is a bit rough, but after all, it is considered a piece of my heart."

"You did it yourself?"

Jiang Yuzhu put the hairpin ring in her hand and rubbed it. The details were handled very well, and it didn't look like it was done by an amateur at all.

If it were anyone else, Jiang Yuzhu would definitely be suspicious, but he was different. He was Xie Zhao, omnipotent.

Jiang Yuzhu was very satisfied with the gift she received. Seeing Xie Zhao's alienation, she knew she was in the wrong and said, "I haven't come here yet, how about we study the erotic palace tonight?"

There were steps, so Xie Zhao hurriedly catered to them and said, "Everyone listens to Madam."

Jiang Yuzhu noticed something was wrong and felt suspicious. Is Xie Zhao so easy to coax?

It was over before she even started.

Just as he was about to think about it, there was movement next to the bed.

Xie Zhao propped up the window, and a homing pigeon flew over immediately.

Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly found water and corn to feed the pigeons, and asked distractedly: "It's Chinese New Year, isn't there another war outside the city?"

Today is a day of great joy for the second brother and Princess Yutan. The soldiers are eating and drinking happily, so it is inevitable that they will relax.

Xie Zhao opened the note in the mailbox and twitched his lips: "No."

Many of the soldiers in the camp in the north of the city are gossips.

Jiang Yuzhu stepped forward to watch. There were only a few words on it: The tent collapsed.

"Bridal wedding flowers and candles, is my second brother so brave?"

Jiang Yuzhu thought about it, and it was not in vain that she gave Princess Yutan a transparent bellyband as a wedding night weapon, which can be used to make a fire.

"No, it doesn't look like it. Did my second brother drink too much and go crazy?"

Jiang Yuzhu thought of her father Jiang Fulu's drunken ugliness and rubbed his sore forehead, "Oh, he is my second brother after all. I just hope my second sister-in-law can kick him gently."

"Madam, come out and take a look!"

Red Carp stood by the door and shouted excitedly.

Unexpectedly, in Northland, we can see a small lantern festival on New Year's Eve.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Yuzhu opened the cotton door curtain and said in surprise: "Who did it?"

Dozens of lanterns, large and small, have been hung in the courtyard.

Lanterns were hung high or low, and there were snowmen's ice lanterns on the ground, which Jiang Yuzhu had never seen before.

"Madam, this is a fairy ice lantern. It is made according to the southern technique."

The fairy was made exactly according to Jiang Yuzhu's portrait, and her dress was made of silk.

When the wind blows, the clothes are flying in the wind, which makes you feel like you are in heaven.

Gong Huai took a step forward and carefully replied: "I didn't report it in advance..."

Ever since he was bought as a current person, Gong Huai's life has been erratic.

After all these years, he never thought he could live such a good life.

Although they had to work every day, the atmosphere was relaxed and the wife had a gentle temper. She often took them to eat and drink without even a scolding.

It’s the Chinese New Year, and it’s also the first year for these sinful slaves in the North.

Behind Madam's back, everyone gathered together to discuss, just to give Madam a surprise.

As long as they got a look from Madam, their efforts would have been in vain.

It was too late for Jiang Yuzhu to be surprised, so how could she blame her? She gave the anxious servant an encouraging look and said with a smile: "You can enjoy the lanterns without leaving home. I'm afraid our house is the only one in the North."

In the evening of the next two days, people from the General's Mansion will be invited to watch, and the lantern will be lit until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Gong Huai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly introduced: "Madam, the snowman ice lantern is an ice cube dug by Dali and my little sister in the river."

Others include small bowls of ice lanterns hanging on the trees. There are pine and cypress leaves and plum blossoms in the transparent ice cubes. Even if you put a piece of red paper-cut casually, the frozen ice cubes will look like a work of art.

After admiring the lantern for half an hour, Jiang Yuzhu was so cold that the tip of her nose turned red and she was reluctant to go back to her room.

Without a camera, how can you capture the beautiful scenery in front of you?

"Madam, I will paint a picture for you as a souvenir for your husband."

Xie Zhao thought for a moment and went straight to the study.

In just one moment of burning incense, Xie Zhao drew a picture of a beautiful woman.

As he said, he has a photographic memory, every scene is as if it is engraved in his mind, even the placement of the lantern is the same.

But beside Jiang Yuzhu, Xie Zhao appeared in the picture.

Although there are only a few strokes, and even the face cannot be seen clearly, it shows charm, and Xie Zhao steals all the limelight from the beauty painting.

Jiang Yuzhu: "..."
