The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 568 - Poetry

Chapter 568: Poetry

When Zhang Xingw.a.n.g heard County Magistrate Zhou’s introduction of Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, the smile on his face clearly froze.

He had thought of any relationship County Magistrate Zhou might have with them, such as familial relations, but he had never thought that they were only friends with young master Zhou.

Being friends with young master Zhou and being friends with County Magistrate Zhou were vastly different.

The Zhang family could not afford to offend County Magistrate Zhou’s friends, but they could look down on young master Zhou’s friends.

Old master Zhang was stunned for a moment before he reacted. His expression turned slightly cold as he nodded to Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan.

Then, he turned to County Magistrate Zhou and said, ” my Lord, I found a wintersweet by the Liuyang River by accident. I’ve specially brought it here for you to appreciate and evaluate it.”

As he spoke, Zhang Xingw.a.n.g pointed at a flower pot that was half the height of a person. A wintersweet that bloomed alone in the biting cold wind stood proudly and bloomed. It was also half the height of a person.

Zhang Xingw.a.n.g had three or four servants carry such a wintersweet over.

County Magistrate Zhou was also a person who loved wintersweet.

Lin yuelan used to be a Southerner. She had heard of wintersweet in books, but she had never seen it with her own eyes.

It could be said that this was the first time she had seen wintersweet in her two lives.

Although the wintersweet did not have the charm of peony, the flirtatiousness of a rose, or the extreme beauty of a poppy flower, it was a very pure little flower that bloomed in the cold wind. However, it was the only one flower that could stand proudly in the snow, strong and unyielding.

Jiang Zhennan looked at the appreciation and love in Lin yuelan’s eyes for the wintersweet.

He lowered his head and whispered into Lin yuelan’s ear, “Do you like wintersweet? When I get back, I’ll find a lot of wintersweet and bring them to the Lin family Village. How about that?”

Jiang Zhennan’s warm breath blew on the tip of Lin yuelan’s small ear, causing her ear to suddenly turn red and hot. Then, the blush crawled all over Lin yuelan’s cheeks. Her small face was red, like a red apple, very delicious.

Zhou Wencai’s sharp eyes noticed Lin yuelan’s flushed face. He asked in puzzlement, ” sister yuelan, are you very hot? ”

As he spoke, he looked at the sun in the sky.

It was a good day. There was no cold wind or rain. It was a sunny day. It was a good day to come out and bask in the sun. Therefore, they all sat in the courtyard and admired the wintersweet.

Lin yuelan, who had always been calm and composed, felt embarra.s.sed for no reason at Zhou Wencai’s question. However, she immediately restrained her expression and said very calmly, ” it’s fine. The sun is good today. It’s indeed a little hot.” As she said that, she covered her face with her two small hands.

When she did this, she was simply too adorable, causing Jiang Zhennan and Zhou wencai to be in a daze.

Being stared at by four burning gazes, Lin yuelan asked in a daze, ” what’s wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?”

Jiang Zhennan and Zhou Wencai had only just regained their senses. Their faces were instantly flushed red. Soon after, the two of them shook their heads at the same time and said shyly, ” no, no. There’s nothing dirty on your face at all.”

After Jiang Zhennan answered Lin yuelan with slightly red ears, he immediately reacted. Zhou Wencai seemed to be staring at Lin yuelan’s face in a daze.

His expression instantly darkened as he glared at Zhou wencai with his sharp eyes, as though he wanted to bore a hole in him. It also seemed to be giving Zhou Wencai a stern warning.

Only then did Zhou Wencai receive two intense, scorching gazes that seemed to be able to pierce him. His body trembled as his body immediately stiffened like a taut string.

Did he offend Jiang Zhennan? But he didn’t do anything.

County Magistrate Zhou and Zhang Xingw.a.n.g only looked at him suspiciously when they heard Zhou Wencai ask Lin yuelan. However, he was a child, after all, so they didn’t pay much attention to the subtle atmosphere between them.

County Magistrate Zhou was admiring the blooming wintersweet while stroking his beard with one hand. He couldn’t help but nod and say, ” not bad, not bad. This winter wintersweet has its own fragrance.”

Zhang Xingw.a.n.g immediately echoed, ” A lone shrub of cold wintersweet

Leans against the bridge over the stream;

Away from the village,

Its white jade offshoots neglected.

The buds closer to the water

Bloom first,

But they are perhaps taken for frozen snow

Yet to melt.”

When County Magistrate Zhou heard the poem recited by Zhang Xingw.a.n.g, he was immediately in a poetic mood. He also composed a poem and said, ” To white plum blossoms,

Each night just dawning,

Evermore.”
