The matter of the Xie and Yan families retiring from their relatives did not make a splash in the icy water in Kyoto, and passed silently.

It's cold, and people's hearts are stiffened.

In the wax moon, the goose feather snow has been falling for many days.

In the middle of winter, a few snowstorms passed, and everything I saw was white. If you stare at the snow for a long time, you will become blind.

But there are always so many reasons for each family, and they have found all kinds of excuses to post and invite each other to enjoy the snow and cook tea and discuss poetry. Xie Shuning had no intention of dealing with them, and pushed them several times in succession, and the invitations sent to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion gradually decreased. Yuzi came to tell her that the six girls in the long room would not refuse to return.

Xie Shuning couldn't help but think of the words of the third aunt Jiang when she talked about her sixth cousin, and she had a wide range of friends.

She smiled, shook her head, and sent Yuzi to take a box of loose money as a reward.

During the New Year, the servants in the three rooms all received more substantial rewards than the subordinates in the other rooms, and they were all beaming, and I don't know if it was because there were too many smiles, which made Xie Yuanmao think of Xie Shumin, the ninth miss who was alone in the nunnery, and on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, he actually proposed to take Xie Shumin back for the New Year.

The Song family agreed, and the Xie Shuning brothers and sisters did not object.

Xie Yuanmao breathed a sigh of relief and sent someone to pick up Xie Shumin in the nunnery, but the person failed to pick him up.

The abbot of the nunnery said that Xie Shumin was crazy, and he couldn't even recognize people, and he was afraid that the house would be restless if he took it back. It's the end of the year, and it's not good to be unlucky. If the road goes well, Xie Yuanmao should return to officialdom in the spring, and as soon as he heard the word bad luck, he naturally didn't say anything. waved his hand again and again, and extinguished the idea of taking Xie Shumin back.

With this idle time, it is better to carry a few more beautiful concubines to celebrate.

Chen's has been silent since Xie Shumin was sent to the nunnery. has been lifeless all day long, quite peaceful, and Xie Yuanmao has never seen her.

Xie Shuning is very satisfied with the current situation.

If you want to take Xie Shumin home, in the final analysis, it depends on whether she allows it or not, whether she is willing or not.

Xie Yuanmao sent the person who sent Lu to pick up Xie Shumin and accepted her silver, so he naturally had to tell Xie Yuanmao according to her intentions.

This kind of silver, no matter how much you spend, is worth it.

The spark hasn't been able to burn yet. and it was extinguished.

This year, too, has been very comfortable.

Worship the ancestors for dinner and reunion, and it will always be a harmonious and happy thing on the bright side.

In the blink of an eye. It was the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival. The Song family has never been stingy with money, and the servants in the house love to celebrate the festival, and everyone is ruddy and satisfied. Even those who chew their tongues every day turn their words into how much reward they get.

The people in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. In the same way, a group of people sat around the brazier, chatting, sewing clothes and shoes in their hands, and having a good time.

Xie Shuning reclined on the kang, and couldn't help but think of the last major event in Kyoto years ago.

Yan Lin was still sent out of Kyoto by Yan Huai in the end.

Just as he was sent away by his father when he was a child, hid and disappeared, Yan Lin also disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Except for Yan Huai. Probably only she knew where Yan Lin was sent.

Xiao Wan has not appeared in front of everyone for a long time. I heard that he was placed under house arrest by Yan Huai.

The wife of Wan Jidao tried to see Xiao Wan several times in the wax moon, but she was unsuccessful, and rumors spread all over the market that Wan Wan was dissatisfied with Yan Huai. But Xie Shuning knew that these were not rumors, but true.

There is another thing, she heard from Turan, saying that before Yan Lin was sent out of Kyoto, Yan Huai had gone to Wanjia and met his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Wan Lao, and he had not set foot in Wanjia since then.

Xie Shuning was stunned when she heard this from Turan's mouth at first, mistakenly thinking that she had mistaken Yuzi for Tulan, otherwise, how could Turan go out of his way to inquire about these things without her instructions. Obviously, these things are not something that can be inquired about.

As a result, she didn't know until this time that Turan had actually met Jixiang a few times in private.

She was startled and hurriedly asked Turan what he was doing to see Jixiang.

I never thought that this girl would tell her that she was going to learn.

Xie Shuning realized that the sword that had been stolen by Turan from Jixiangna had returned to Turan at some point.

She only thought that Turan had snatched it again, and it was easy to put on a serious appearance and wanted to admonish her, but she was choked by her sudden words.

Turan said that this time, the sword was not snatched or stolen by her, but given by Ji Xiang.

Xie Shuning was puzzled after hearing this, and knew that Turan would not lie, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and said half-loudly: "It's good if you're happy......"

Turan smiled and hid the sword, but she didn't see her take it out and use it on weekdays.

Xie Shuning felt more and more that this matter was strange.

But I haven't been able to really find any strange clues.

She gathered her mind and looked at the window lattice, where a faint white light penetrated through the cracks, and the snow outside was getting thicker and thicker, but fortunately it had finally stopped.

There is a lantern festival in the east city tonight, the central lantern wheel is heard to be as high as more than 20 zhang, 50,000 lamps are burned, and the clusters are like flowers and trees, which is extremely extravagant.

Xie Yi sent her early in the morning to tell her that when she went out to enjoy the lanterns at night, she couldn't shirk it, so she decided the matter herself. Xie Shuning had no choice, who called her such a brother, so she had to pack up and go out with him.

After the sky got dark, the brother and sister got into the carriage and left the Xie family under the advice of the Song family.

There is no snow and no rain tonight, it is a good day to enjoy the lanterns, a group of people have been stuck in their homes for a long time by the wind and snow, and now no one wants to miss it, so the streets are full of carriages and pedestrians, bustling all the way.

It was easy to get to Dongcheng, and it was crowded with people, noisy, and very lively.

The day of the year when there are the most women on the street must also be this day.

On weekdays, all the ladies are hidden in the boudoir, and there are very few people who show up at will.

The Shangyuan Lantern Festival has become a good opportunity for everyone to go out for a night tour to watch the lanterns.

Xie Shuning couldn't help but smile, her favorite day in her previous life was also this day.

Rare good day. It is pleasing to the body and mind.

On the road behind, the carriage was difficult, so they simply got out of the carriage. Go and see it on your own.

Xie Yi leaned into her ear and muttered: "Aman, when I was in the academy, I heard from a classmate that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, those who didn't dare to teach and receive it privately were all above board tonight." ”

Xie Shuning slapped him and frowned. angry and laughing, he reprimanded him: "Your classmate of Laoshzi, you will not be talking in the future!" ”

Xie Yiha laughed. Immediately, his eyes lit up.

There were small stalls selling Lantern Festival on both sides of the street, so he pulled Xie Shuning's sleeve and said, "Let's buy a bowl and try it?" ”

"Go home later, the house has already been prepared. Why use it outside. "This man comes and goes. Xie Shuning didn't agree to him.

Xie Yi begged for mercy: "Good sister, how can things outside be the same as those in the house!" ”

Xie Shuning had no choice but to let him buy it and sit on the stall to eat, but he was really not interested, so he simply said: "Brother is eating here, I'll go over there first, how about we still meet here later?" ”

This little stall is placed right under an old tree, and it is very conspicuous.

Xie Yi nodded in response. Let her play on her own.

Xie Shuning then took Turan to the place where he guessed the lantern riddle.

Yuzi was sent by her to go out with Zhuo's mother, and she will accompany Tulan to watch the lantern.

Countless lanterns hang there. Most of the sky is illuminated as if it were daytime.

Turan was dazzled and shouted to Xie Shuning, "Miss, is it also a lamp over there?" ”

Xie Shuning followed the direction of her finger and looked at the rows of rabbit lights, "It's a lamp, do you like it?" If you like us, buy one and take it with you. ”

Turan nodded repeatedly.

She took her tall maid through the sea of people, paid for a rabbit lantern and stuffed it into Turan's hand, "Take it." ”

Turan laughed like a child, his eyebrows crooked.

The two walked slowly on the street with the lamp, watching and laughing all the way, a rare good day.

The thick juice of the night was scattered by the lights, and the snow left in the corners shone like the best white jade.

After walking for a while, the wet and heavy cold air was still gradually surging up along the floor tiles under her feet, Xie Shuning couldn't help but shiver, she called "Tulan", turned her head and bumped into someone.

The person across from her stood straight, and she staggered back two steps with her nose covered.

Under the bright light, she looked up.

The young man in the black coat reached out and took her hand.

"Yanhuai ......" Xie Shuning subconsciously shouted his name.

The young man opposite was slightly stunned, it was the first time he heard her call his name.

The two stood on the crowded street, relatively speechless for a while.

Turan finally squeezed over, and when he saw Yan Huai and Jixiang standing in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised, "The man also looks at the light?" ”

When the words fell, the two people opposite darkened their faces.

This street is full of people, not only the two of them, why are they so surprised?

Xie Shuning hurriedly dragged Tulan and carefully advised: "Remember Mother Zhuo's words, be cautious!" ”

Turan was confused, not knowing what he had just said wrong, and glanced at the two people opposite.

At this moment, the crowd became restless, and there were people at the door of the largest restaurant in Dongcheng who scattered their money, and everyone went to rob it.

As soon as Xie Shuning and his entourage came, they became retrograde in the same crowd, and they were pushed and shoved to stand unsteadily.

Yan Huai grabbed her hand, protected her, and led people directly across the crowd to the river.

Lotus lanterns float quietly on the river, reflected on the water, like starlight.

The people on the shore also went with the crowd, and the place was empty for a while.

Yan Huai let go at this time.

Turan shouted "Miss" and staggered with a rabbit lamp to run.

"I received your letter."

Xie Shuning gasped slightly, and suddenly heard a voice from Dao Qingyue in her ears, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "I also received Grandpa Guo's reply." ”

That's right, this eccentric person even wrote a reply to her...... (To be continued......)
