Zhao Jingting gave a bitter smile and said, “I have been in the southwest border for fifteen years and I have got accustomed to staying there . I have never thought about going some other places . It’s just up to them and I care nothing about it . ”
“Why not go to the northwest border?” asked Lu Zhishan in a sudden .
Zhao Jingting got stunned and said, “Northwest?”

“We have a good relations.h.i.+p with Northern Di for a long time . The northwest border is peaceful and trackless . It’s really a good place to do training . ” Lu Zhishan slightly moved the cup cover and said to Zhao Jingting in a gentle voice, “Jingting, you are talented and your gift can’t be wasted . The position as General Kulun is still vacant . You are equal to it . ”
Zhao Jingting got immediately surprised as he heard those words, “Yongzhan, do you mean you are finally going to . . . ”
Lu Zhishan just uttered with a smile on his face, “We talked too much just now and forgot the tea . It’s the top yellow-bud tea of Huo Mountain . It’s really a waste if we don’t have a taste . ”

“All right! All right! I’ll drink it now!” Zhao Jingting quickly picked up the cup, drank more than half the tea and laughed . “You are right, Yongzhan . It’s really good tea . I have never tasted a better one before!”
Lu Zhishan then refilled his cup and said, “It’s your first time to go to the northwest border . You should have a capable a.s.sistant . You know Xie Lun well and I’ll tell him to follow you . He can do anything for you if you are not convenient . Xie Lun help me get in touch with Northern Di these years . It’s the best choice to let him go with you . ”
Zhao Jingting got gradually excited . “Yongzhan, you are the only people who think for me wholeheartedly these years . ”
Lu Zhishan patted his hand and continued his words, “All affiliated manors of my mansion are closely recorded by the officers of Finance Ministry . So I can’t use them freely . But Du Heng bought more than ten manors, a few tea plantations and several money houses for me in the past three years . Now they are going to create benefits soon . I will give you two hundred thousand taels of silver every year . Half of them is supposed to be the pension for the families of the dead soldiers and the other half is left for you to manage the troops . I have enough money so you don’t need to think about saving money for me . ”

“My highness, you have given me one hundred thousand taels of silver to be the pension which should be on the government's duty . Now you are doing this on your own again . I really can’t help feeling wronged for you . But I have to accept it in this kind of situation . Now that you trust me so much, my highness, I will spare no effort to do my job well . ” Zhao Jingting’s eyes got wet with tears as he uttered these words . Picking up the tea cup to subst.i.tute wine with tea, he said to Lu Zhishan, excited, “All these things that I want say are represented by my toast with the tea . ”
“Jingting, I’m afraid that I will have no chance to get out of the capital city for many years . So I have to rely on you . I should actually toast . ”
Lu Zhishan picked up his tea cup, after which they tossed off their tea together .
It was the lunch time when Mu Nanzhi arrived at Xihuai Mansion . Servants had already prepared Lunch well . Those dishes were not sent to the dining hall; instead, they were placed on the table of the warm room in the backyard .
Mu Nanzhi was led to the backyard and looked at the different plum blossoms in the mansion, including winter sweets, vermilion plums and beauty plums . Mu Nanzhi immediately found it hard to enjoy them all in a short time . As she entered the backyard and walked into the warm room, she quickly noticed a huge mess of red plum blossoms, which were definitely the most beautiful plum blossoms she had ever seen . She was always fond of flowers and plum blossom was her favorite . That was why she felt so happy for seeing that . She was even more amazed when she saw the steaming hotpot on the table, asking Du Heng with a bright smile on her face, “Where is your master?”
“He is still at the study . I just told him that you are here, and he said that he will be here soon . ”
