Chapter 337: A Few Joys and a Few Sorrows
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, when Lanxi arrives at the house, I see the snow flakes in the sky dancing with the wind, the snow flakes are getting bigger and bigger, and dense, being swept by the cold north wind in the sky and the earth whistling and raging, like a curtain, covering the place in front of you just an inch. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Liuyan didn't dare to be careless, knowing that his girl was not in a good mood at this time, he held up an umbrella and silently followed Lanxi briskly from the second gate to the Pearl Jade Pavilion.
When he arrived at the Dezhu Jade Pavilion, Liuyan put the umbrella aside, and waited for Lan Xi to go to the big coat on his body, the curtain was opened from the inside, and a face poked out, and when he saw the two of them, he couldn't help but say happily, "This snow is so heavy, my mother is still talking about the girl if she doesn't come back, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to walk on the road." He took Lan Xi's hand and said with concern, "The girl isn't frozen on the road, is she?" ”
Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but say happily, "Pillow Yue, why are you back?" ”
"This looks like the New Year is coming, and the work in the embroidery room has been driven out, so the shopkeeper Cao deliberately took a few days off, and the slave maid was worried about the girl, but she was going to come back? The girl asked, don't you want me to come back? "I haven't seen him for a while, but Pillow Moon seems to be more lively, and he makes fun of Lanxi like a feint.
Lan Xi naturally tightened her grip and said with a smile, "I was just thinking, how can you be willing to come back?" There is something in this, Lan Xi is not the one who suffers, and in the blink of an eye, he joked back.
There are words in these words, everyone can understand, Liuyan snickered twice, but Pillow Moon blushed, stomped her feet, and didn't follow the way, "Girl! ”
The sound of footsteps in the door was near, and Qin's mother hurriedly poked her head out, "What are you doing standing at the door on this snowy day?" Not afraid of freezing? Come on in! Fangcao, the girl is back, make her a cup of hot tea. Never mind! Yingfeng, it's better to prepare hot soup for the girl quickly, soak it, and get rid of the cold. ”
There were two crisp responses in the door, and he was sitting on the embroidery pier in the inner room, gossiping while waiting for Lanxi to come back, Fangcao and Yingfeng, who were busy.
Lan Xi saw it, for some reason, just came out of Tao Ranju, and it seemed to be frozen a little cold by this snowy day, as if it was thrown into a ball of warm water, gurgling and bubbling, a little warmed up, into the house, the oncoming heating seemed to hit the eyelashes, turned into moisture, Lan Xi blinked, smiled, grinned, so cheerful that he had no heart or lungs, "Mom, it's rare that the people in our house are here today, and they have explained that the flowers make a mutton warming pot, let's get together today for a hot meal, Let's have a reunion dinner in advance of the Jewel Pavilion. ”
The house cheered, and naturally they were all happy, and in such weather, it was beautiful to eat a warm pot. And it couldn't be happier to be able to get a room full of people together.
Lan Xi turned his head, his smile faded, but the corners of his mouth repeatedly went up. At this year's reunion dinner, I'm afraid that Master won't eat it with her, right? And the senior brother...... If her words reach his ears today, I wonder what he should think. Do you hate yourself for being blind and not being able to see that she is such a selfish girl?
In just two days, it was Chinese New Year's Eve. In the past two days, due to the heavy snowfall, Lanxi has rarely stepped out of the door of the Pearl Jade Pavilion all day long. Because there was nothing to do, but on the first case, I practiced the characters very attentively for two days, and by the time I got Chinese New Year's Eve, I had already copied the first volume of the Lotus Sutra, and the hairpin flower was small and neat throughout the handwriting, but the first two pages were slightly impetuous, but on the third page, they sank down little by little, and restored to the previous level.
It's just that what Lan Xi cares about is not that the words are better than before, but that the mood seems to be quieter and more wide.
I have been nesting in the house for two days, but today I can't continue to nest no matter what, even though it is still snowing outside. But after all, it is only snowing, there is no knife yet, this year's reunion night always has to be passed, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must also be eaten.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was held in Mrs. Lan's Fushou Hall, and because it was a family banquet, it was not divided. Lan Xi arrived relatively late, and when he entered the hall, the old and young had already gathered. Mrs. Lan was sick, nestled in a chair beside her, cloaked her hands, and although she smiled, her expression was pale and wilted, and she was very unenergetic. Mrs. Lan's second wife and her concubines gathered a table to play leaf cards with Mrs. Lan, and from time to time they heard Mrs. Lan's laughter.
When it was time to eat, no matter whether there were other thoughts in my heart, no one dared to touch the mold of this meal, and I was not shocked to eat, but it was also enjoyable. Except for Mrs. Landa, who left the table in a hurry due to physical exhaustion, the rest of the people stayed in Fushoutang and laughed with Mrs. Lan.
After a while, a figure dressed in a thick robe came from the snowy night, and arrived in front of Defu Shoutang, where the waiting girl took off the big sweater outside, and went to the fire by the door to get rid of the cold, which made the little girl open the curtain and enter the house.
"Is the third master back?" Second Mrs. Lan was sharp-eyed, and when she saw that the curtain was lifted, a figure stepped in, her eyes flashed, and she smiled.
Everyone looked at it, and it was not Master Lan San who was entering the door?
Old Master Lan was summoned to the palace to attend a banquet today, which is an honor that the Lan Mansion has not had for several years, in the past, when Old Master Lan was still alive, she often accompanied the Holy Lord on Chinese New Year's Eve, but since his death, for several years, the people of Lan Mansion entered the palace for a banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, or for the first time, but this time the person has become Lan San Old Man, and all kinds of them, not only the people in Lan Mansion, but also the families in the capital, are also their own thoughts.
Everyone in the Lan Mansion didn't know what they wanted to do about the third master of Lan entering the palace for the banquet tonight, but at least they were a little happy. Especially in the meal, there was a decree eunuch in the palace who sent a few delicacies that the saint personally appreciated, although when the dish was delivered, it was already extremely cold and astringent, and no matter how delicious it was, it was limited, but at that time I was still honored in my heart. It's just that the saint still has a dish, which is naturally a glorious dish, and this dish naturally can't be eaten casually, so at this time, those plates of dishes are enshrined in the ancestral hall and are subject to Lan's incense.
It's just that I don't want to, Master Lan San came back from the palace and brought another piece of news.
This news is great news for many people in Lan Mansion, and they are happy, such as the second Mrs. Lan, Mrs. Lan and Lan Yun. There are also people who have hidden worries in their hearts and try their best to hide them, but there is still a little sadness on their faces, such as Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Lan San. But there are also people who don't care at all, such as Lanxi.
It's really a few joys and a few sorrows.
The Queen Mother's decree, on the first day of tomorrow, the female dependents of officials above the fourth grade will enter the palace to pay homage, and the family has reached the age of thirteen, and the unmarried women, regardless of the concubine, are all brought with them.
