3 Gray Wolf’s Arrival
“You have already thanked my Master.” Leng Shuang replied lightly, as she walked forward at a leisurely pace.
Gu Xiangyi looked forward and said: “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have met Feng Jiu. So, no matter what, I still have to thank you.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Shuang didn’t say anything. She just walked quietly and watched Hao’er, who was playing in the peach forest ahead.
Gu Xiangyi accompanied her quietly, and they came to the other side of the peach forest and stood under a peach tree watching Hao’er climb up the tree.
“Aunt Shuang, can we pick some peaches and bring them home?” Hao’er, who was up on the tree, asked. As he looked at the mouth-watering peaches, he couldn’t help but pick one and wiped it clean, then took a bite.
“Yes, pick more and give them to Young Miss Wanyan and the others, and we can also bring some back to the manor.” Leng Shuang replied and took out two baskets from space.
When Hao’er heard this, he agreed happily. He finished eating the peach in his hand quickly, then he picked the biggest peach and threw it down: “Aunt Shuang, catch!”
Leng Shuang stood below the tree and caught the peaches, then put them in the baskets. After the two baskets were filled with peaches, Leng Shuang was about to lift them up when she saw that Gu Xiangyi had already bent down and picked them up.
“Let me!” Gu Xiangyi said and looked at her and Hao’er: “Do you want to go back now?”
Leng Shuang looked at Hao’er, and Hao’er nodded. So, the three of them walked back.
Feng Jiu accompanied Wanyan Qianhua for a walk and saw the few people who were drinking wine under the peach blossom tree. Her eyebrows raised when she saw them: “Why are you here?”
“The scenery here is nice, it’s most suitable for drinking and gatherings.” Song Ming replied. His eyes swept over Feng Jiu and Wanyan Qianhua, then landed on Jun Jueshang beside them as he sized him up.
“Do you want to have a few drinks?” Duan Ye asked.
“No, I have just eaten with my Elder Sister and we are about to go for a walk.” Feng Jiu replied.
“Mother, Mother!”
Hao’er’s voice drifted over from not far away. Feng Jiu looked over and saw a little figure running towards her. His little face was flushed with excitement: “Mother, we picked peaches. Look.” He pointed behind him.
Feng Jiu looked over and saw Gu Xiangyi and Leng Shuang walking over. Gu Xiangyi held two baskets of peaches in his hands. When she saw the both of them, Feng Jiu smiled and rubbed Hao’er’s head: “Then Hao’er, go and wash the peaches with Leng Shuang, then cut some for everyone to eat.”
“Yes.” Hao’er responded and trotted over to Leng Shuang’s side.
Gu Xiangyi put the baskets of peaches down, then watched Leng Shuang and Hao’er take some out to wash. He said to Feng Jiu: “You don’t let anyone pick the peaches in the peach forest, do you?”
“Someone will come to pick them and brew wine regularly.” Feng Jiu said with a smile: “Since you are all here, I will take some peach wine out for everyone to try.”
As Feng Jiu spoke, she looked at Leng Hua and gestured. Leng Hua understood. So, he turned around and left. Not long after, he returned with a jar of wine and brought it over for everyone.
“I’ll pour the wine.” Du Fan said, then poured a glass for them each, and also one for himself to try. At first taste, the wine had a strong peach flavour, but the wine was not very strong. It had a very special and unique taste. The more one drank it, the more delicious it became.
They stayed there until it was getting dark before they went back to Feng Manor with Feng Jiu. In the days that followed, the Feng Manor brimmed with joyous atmosphere as the date of the wedding drew closer…
After about half a month had passed, in the early hours of the morning on this day, Gray Wolf arrived at the Feng Manor with a smile on his face.
When Du Fan saw him, he asked in surprise: “Why are you here? Aren’t you busy with the wedding preparations on Hell’s Lord’s side?”
