The days before and after the Lantern Festival are the most lively days in the capital, with lantern festivals, lantern riddles, river lanterns, and morning and evening markets composed of small traders who come from all over to sell all kinds of gadgets. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Yan Xiaoqi has been listening to the shrimp in charge of buying these days, and his heart is itchy, and he just hopes to go out and have a look that day.

But as a girl's family, and this kind of high-ranking family, it is not easy for the girl's family to go out, either someone invites, or follows the elder brother, or follows the elders.

Zhao Shu has two sons, both of whom are from the Xu family, and the eldest son will have a weak crown ceremony when he leaves the New Year, and the family affairs have been set in May. The second son's coming-of-age ceremony has just passed, and he is just two years older than Yan Xiaoqi.

They haven't gotten married yet, so they can count on it, they take Zhao Wen out, they can't help but bring themselves. Yan Xiaoqi thought about it beautifully, and had already prepared to go out.

Speaking of which, there is a reason why Xu likes to make things difficult for Yan Xiaoqi everywhere, back then. Zhao Shuwai was transferred to Jianghuai Mansion to be a fellow intellectual, and he was originally going to take Xu with him, but Xu was found to be pregnant half a month before leaving.

The road is far and bumpy, and Zhao Shu is only a petty official outside, so it is more convenient to stay in the capital, and the Xu family also understands this truth, so he can only stay unwillingly.

She couldn't go, but she couldn't let Zhao Shu go alone, she suppressed Aunt Dong, who was about to move, and arranged for Aunt Song to leave with Zhao Shu.

As a result, not long after she took office, Aunt Song became pregnant, and when the Xu family, who was far away in the capital, heard the news, she only secretly scolded herself for not knowing people clearly, and she was also a fox who was sent.

Zhao Shu has an outstanding appearance, but he is not keen on women, in the past few years of marriage, Xu's family can give birth to two sons in one breath, not that she has many means to envelop her husband, it is purely in Zhao Shu's eyes, turn off the lights, everyone is the same...

With such a graceful and outstanding husband, Xu can't wait to see people every day. I also heard that Zhao Shu and Aunt Song were in office, just like ordinary husband and wife, eating and living together, and Aunt Song did not sleep in separate rooms during the months when she was pregnant, which made her angry teeth itch.

She has a concubine, why!

When the three-year transfer was over, Zhao Shu returned to Beijing to take up his post, and Xu tried his best, for fear that he would be transferred again, and it would be another three years as soon as he left.

After returning to Beijing, Aunt Song was still as cautious and cautious as before, and did not have any disrespect for the Xu family because she was alone in the past three years.

The anger in Xu's heart couldn't be suppressed, and she wanted to find fault several times, but Aunt Song cautiously avoided it, that is, she deliberately attacked when serving tea, and let her kneel for a few more hours, she would be inadvertently bumped into by Zhao Shu.

couldn't rectify the big one, so Xu Shi set his sights on the small one, and as a result, the small one was still slippery, which made Xu quite melancholy.

The difference between Zhao Wen and Yan Xiaoqi is only half a year old, similar ages are the easiest to compare together, her appearance is not as good as Yan Xiaoqi, her father's favor is not as good as Yan Xiaoqi, even if she is valued by the old lady, she can't see the difference.

His own daughter was completely compared to a concubine, and she couldn't bear it if she was a mother-in-law, but before she got married, she was raised in a deep boudoir, and her family had a simple population and limited wrists.

If you don't have that ability, you can enlarge your heart a little, and you have nothing to do with concubines and concubines, what is the difference between this and pushing men out?

The old lady looked coldly at Zhao Shuwai after he was transferred back, and she didn't go back to the backyard to rest for ten days and half a month, although she was dissatisfied with the Xu family in her heart, but thinking about Zhao Duan and Zhao Rui's faces, her mother-in-law could only persuade a few words tactfully.

Yan Xiaoqi is not the original owner in the past, naturally she is not clear, she is rejoicing now, because on the day of the Lantern Festival, as soon as Zhao Shu came back at noon, he asked someone to bring a message to Yan Xiaoqi and asked her to prepare, and Zhao Duan and Zhao Rui would take them out in the evening.

Yan Xiaoqi was frightened by the cold, and when he found out Da Mao's clothes, he was about to change them, but he was quickly persuaded by Lu Ping. Yan Xiaoqi's serious illness also has their dereliction of duty as a big maid, she has secretly learned a lot from others during this time, and she has been cheeky to consult with very decent maids and daughters-in-law in the places she once understood.

"Miss, it's a bit too much to wear the clothes after the New Year, if it's cold, just put one more on it."

The nobles in Beijing, dress up the most, what kind of clothes to wear during what solar terms, and then wear them after the solar terms, they will be pointed at, they are the young ladies of the Hou Mansion of Ding'an, even if they are concubines, they can't make people laugh at will.

Yan Xiaoqi had no concept of these at all, listening to Lu Ping chattering in her ear, only silently remembering it in her heart, and then she dressed herself up.

Xu's advantage is that once she does something and is caught by Zhao Shu, she likes to use clothes and jewelry to solve it, which can not only show her tolerance and generosity as a mother-in-law, not abuse the concubine, but also calm Zhao Shu's anger.

The box full of accessories, as well as the wardrobe that was stuffed, made it not too difficult for Yan Xiaoqi to pick and choose when he went out.

As soon as it was dark, after dinner, a few people came out of the old lady and went straight to the Fang Market on West Street, accompanied by six girls, eight girls, nine girls, and a few concubines of the third master.

They sat in a few carriages, but as soon as they arrived at Shuifang, the carriage could not move, and because it was not far from West Street, several people got out of the carriage and prepared to walk over.

Most of the pedestrians on the road traveled together like them, and Zhao Duan and Zhao Rui walked outside with those concubines, blocking Yan Xiaoqi and their girls' homes out of the crowd.

Tourists are weaving, busy traffic, Yan Xiaoqi's eyes hidden under the cloak can't help but look around, in the capital, it is really much more prosperous than the county town that the previous life entered, and it is also much more lively, the era of the four seas is peaceful, and people's faces are peaceful and tranquil expressions.

There are many people in the night market, and several people only bring one maid around them, close to West Street, more and more pedestrians on the road gather, several men began to be unable to resist the crowded crowd, and several maids hurriedly blocked in front of their respective young ladies, for fear that they would be collided.

But even so, as a wave of people rushed by, several people were almost separated, and Zhao Wen was even more stumbling, almost falling to the ground.

"I'm sorry, girl, nothing happened, did you? My sister didn't mean it. The clear voice came from the boiling crowd, which made several people stunned.

This sound is so familiar! It seems to be very similar to Yasuda's voice.

Yan Xiaoqi looked up, and saw the young man standing under the banner of the exhibition, his eyes were clear, his skin was fair, and the lake-blue robe reflected a little light, which made the apology on his face bring the taste of handsomeness.

Zhao Wen's cheeks blushed with just one glance, and the neatness of the usual quarrel with Yan Xiaoqi disappeared without a trace.

"I've seen An, An's second son, it's the little girl who didn't pay attention, and it has nothing to do with Sister Ling."

"It turned out to be the fifth lady of the Anping Hou Mansion, and it was our brother and sister who were rude," The smile on Yasuda's face deepened, and without waiting for Zhao Wen to reply, he had already moved his gaze to Zhao Duan: "Third Brother Zhao, since you met, how about together?" It's more crowded and more lively. ”

Zhao Duan naturally has no opinion, the second son of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, he needs to be befriended.

"Meeting is fate, together."

Several men looked at each other and smiled, beckoned to each other, and led the group forward.
