search for flowers

Since the first heavy snow fell in midwinter, there have been several snowfalls in succession.

Rong Tan was sitting in front of the window with a hand stove in his hand to enjoy the snow, the red plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, and they were so beautiful.

"It's really cold, even with an extra quilt at night, it's still cold." He told Li Wei and the others.

He originally just said a word unintentionally, but who knew that the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. When he was sleeping at night, Li Mu knocked on his door.

Rong Tan had already developed a good habit of coming to the door while sleeping, he jumped out of bed wrapped in a quilt, stepped on the blanket and opened the door, and saw Li Mu standing at the door with a quilt in his arms.

It was still snowing outside, Li Mu said, "It's so cold outside, you didn't ask me to go in."

"Come in," Rong Tan pulled him in and closed the door, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Aren't you cold? I brought you a quilt."

"I've already built two. If I build another one, I can hardly breathe."

"There are too many quilts, it's uncomfortable, but it's cold today, keeping warm is the most important thing, I have a way, it's warm and not oppressive."

Rong Tan saw that Li Mu's eyes were shining brightly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"what?"

"Have you ever heard of a human heater?"

Rong Tan immediately shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

"Then try it, whether it works or not." Li Mu said, throwing the quilt on the bed, and picked him up by the waist.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing!"

"Keep down, don't let Zhu Yan and the others hear you."

Zhu Yan lived next door, and Rong Tan didn't dare to speak loudly, so Li Mu carried him to the bed, lifted the quilt and got in.Rong Tan lay on the bed, watching Li Mu take off his clothes.

Li Mu took off only his underwear in three strokes, and immediately got in and hugged him full.

Rong Tan originally wanted to say something, but being hugged by a hot body on a cold day is really very comfortable.

Because it was so comfortable, I didn't struggle any more.

Li Mu's chest was still as hot as before, and when he hugged her, it made people feel a little touched.The most comfortable thing is that Li Mu talked less and didn't say anything. This kind of tranquility was very pleasing to him.

Come to think of it, they haven't slept together in months, either.It was cold, and many stoves in the room didn't work. It's not like he didn't miss Li Mu's warm body.It's just that they have experienced too much life and death along the way, it always seems weird to ask him and Li Mu to be tender.And he still hated Li Mu for lying to him.

After waking up like this until dawn, I really slept like never before.

Get up the next day, admire plum blossoms and drink.Fan Xingzhi wrote a letter from the capital, saying that everything is fine, and that he will come to visit when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, and he repeatedly emphasized that they should treat them with hospitality.

Rong Tan smiled, and replied to Fan Xingzhi's letter. Zhu Yan was studying ink next to him, and said, "How are the people who summoned the court? Can you tell me about it in Mr. Fan's letter?"

"All good." Rong Tan said.

After replying to the letter, I felt my hands were a bit cold, so I hugged the stove to warm them for a while, and asked, "Why didn't you see that kid Li Wei?"

"Don't mention him, the minister asked him to study more, but he didn't know what happened. He doesn't like reading anymore, but instead follows Commander Lu all day long, clamoring to learn martial arts. No, the minister just arrested him Come back and personally supervise his writing."

Rong Tan laughed and said, "He has this old problem of valuing literature over martial arts. It's fine for him to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Do you want everyone to be like him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu and Li Wei came in. Li Wei waved his hands and said, "After writing for so long, my hands are sore."

"It's because you always protect him that he doesn't improve in learning." Li Mu said.

"I have no extra demands on Li Wei, and I don't ask him to be a high-ranking official in the future. He has learned enough in the capital. Besides, practicing martial arts to strengthen his body is also a good thing."

"Is he doing martial arts?" Li Mu said.

Li Wei blushed and stopped talking.

Rong Tan also vaguely noticed something in his heart, and secretly asked Li Mu at night: "You really only allow state officials to set fires, but not the common people to light lamps. Li Wei likes to follow Lu Guangye and you are not happy, so what do you do now?" came to my bed?"

Li Mu was not ashamed of his words, and he said clearly: "The master has been kind to me in nurturing me, and I don't want to cut off his incense."

Rong Tan said: "That's okay, Li Wei doesn't have children, I can marry more beautiful wives and concubines, and have more children, and when the time comes, give a child to the Li family, how about it?"

After hearing this, Li Mu asked, "Do you want a child?"

Only then did Rong Tan realize that Li Mu had taken it seriously, and said, "I'm just saying, I'm not the biological son of the Rong family, and I can't occupy the seat of your old Rong family for long. If I give birth to a child, and the child has another child, then you Isn't the seat of the Rong family our Li family's in disguise? I still don't want children, so after I retire, I will find a seat from your Rong family's nephews to pick me up. My father died for your Rong family , I don’t even want my own son, how dare I occupy this seat, and don’t worry about returning it to its original owner as soon as possible.”

Li Mu said in a persuasive way: "This is the same thing, and there is another thing. If you give birth to a child, you will have to be sent to the capital. The separation of your father and son is also a pain. It's better not to. If you feel lonely under your knees in the future, it's okay to adopt one."

Rong Tan didn't tell the truth when he saw it, he just laughed.Li Mu blushed a little from his smile, and said, "Is what I said unreasonable?"

"Actually, I don't want to be the owner of this family anymore," Rong Tan said, "Ever since I knew I was not a member of the Rong family, I felt that I was occupying the magpie's nest, and I was always very uncomfortable."

He has recently been looking for a successor among Rong's uncles.

The younger generation is too immature, a century-old family like the Rong family needs to find someone who can hold the field.Among his uncles, he now prefers the fourth son, Rong Dan, who is quite stable.What the Rong family has to do is to keep a low profile, a steady patriarch is exactly what the Rong family needs.

After going through so many lives and deaths, it seems that many things are underestimated. He doesn't love power at all. Moreover, if he is the head of the Rong family, marrying a wife and having children is an inevitable choice. This is one of the reasons why he wants to abdicate as soon as possible. He heard from Fan Xingzhi that Fan Shoufu had already found a daughter for him to marry among Fan's clan.

At the latest in the spring of next year, he will finalize the abdication, and then take Zhu Yan and the others to roam around freely.

Being a rich and happy son is the most comfortable and unrestrained thing in the world.

Li Mu had already expressed his affection for him before coming to Donghe, and he did not force kiss him once or twice. He was still a little awkward and his attitude was vague.Now that he has gone through life and death several times, it seems that many things are self-evident at once. He still has a vague attitude, but Li Mu knows his mind and never asks him if he likes him.

Rong Tan thought to himself, it was really thanks to Li Mu's reticent and quiet temperament, if Li Mu asked in front of him: "Rong Tan, do you love me?"

He probably couldn't say the word love.He has always been used to being shameless, and if you really want him to be serious, he would be ashamed.

He thought that no one knew about him and Li Mu, until one day he heard Li Mu reprimanding Li Wei again: "Why do you always go to Commander Lu? Have you reviewed all the homework I asked you to review?"

"You drill into the young master's room every day, why can't I go to Brother Lu?"

This sentence made Li Mu speechless.Li Wei ran away, Li Mu turned around, his face was already flushed.
