Zhong Xuanlan and Wang Xuannian walked out of the palace, and it was already unitary time.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhong Xuanlan pinched his eyebrows, rubbed his temples again, and rested with his eyes closed.

Wang Xuannian got up slowly, knelt on the stool, and massaged Zhong Xuanlan's head.

The corners of Zhong Xuanlan's mouth were slightly hooked, and his strength was good, and he said, "Do you often massage people's heads?" ”

Wang Xuannian was slightly stunned and said, "I've only massaged it for you." "At home, I saw my mother massaging my father, but his home is gone.

Zhong Xuanlan listened, felt that Wang Xuannian was in a lost mood, took the person into his arms and sat down, pinched his little face, and said, "Is it?" ”

Wang Xuannian nodded.

Zhong Xuanlan touched his head and said, "Remember that you can only be me alone in the future." ”

"Okay."

Wang Xuannian leaned on Zhong Xuanlan's chest, listened to her steady heartbeat, smelled the fragrance on her body, and felt very relieved.

He misses the life of Lujia Village a little, his parents and brothers and sisters are here, the days are as plain as water, although they are tired of food and clothing every day, but there is no fight between the deceitful and the self, only the parents are short, and occasionally quarrel over trivial matters, and rarely cause big problems.

And today's palace banquet, he was very tired, physically and mentally exhausted.

Those people under the noble and gorgeous appearance, with the mask of hypocrisy, fight openly and secretly, hide their scheming in every sentence, and the ending is determined in a few words, which is really frightening.

He knew it was all just beginning, and he didn't know how long he could hold on?

The noise sounded, Zhong Xuanlan opened his eyes, and said outside: "Stop." Today's birthday of the Queen Mother, the emperor ordered a lantern festival for her, let's go down and take a walk. ”

Wang Xuannian nodded.

After the two got off the carriage, Wang Xuannian saw the bustling, brightly lit street, lanterns can be seen everywhere, pedestrians stop to watch, children carry lanterns scurrying and jumping, and hear not far away, hawkers shouting loudly, a sound seems to be higher than a sound.

The sugar gourd seller passed in front of them, Zhong Xuanlan seemed to remember something, so he ordered the winter solstice to buy a bunch for Wang Xuannian.

Wang Xuannian was surprised, but he still took the sugar gourd.

Zhong Xuanlan led Wang Xuannian to the Zhong family's clothes shop to change into palace clothes before starting to visit the Lantern Festival.

Along the way, the two saw some people participating in the lantern riddle guessing competition, some onlookers, some bargaining with street vendors, and some discussing how to put lanterns...... The streets are crowded with people.

"Lan'er, let's go back."

"Why?" Wasn't it fun just now?

Wang Xuannian said: "I'm a little tired. "I don't like other people's eyes to look at you, but I can't protect you in my arms in the crowd, although the lantern festival is lively, but not as good as you.

Zhong Xuanlan nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”

Zhong Xuanlan led him to the Zhong family's clothes shop to change into a set of riding clothes, and rode away from the back door.

Under the starry sky on a moonlit night, two fast horses galloped to the outskirts of Kyoto......

"The little one is tired and rests on me, we still have half an hour to go."

Wang Xuannian nodded, leaned his back against Zhong Xuanlan, grabbed Zhong Xuanlan's wrist with his hand, suppressed the tension in his heart, and asked, "Where are we going?" ”

"Memories of the old days."

Wang Xuannian said: "What a special name." ”

"It carries the past of our Zhong family. Looking back on the past, don't forget the hard work of our ancestors and keep the Zhong family prosperous. ”

Wang Xuannian was a little curious in his heart, but he didn't ask any more questions, felt her temperature, slowly relaxed, and fell asleep dimly.

Seeing this, Zhong Xuanlan tightened the person, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and looked at the night ahead......

In the early morning, Wang Xuannian slowly opened his eyes, saw the purple bed curtain, was slightly shocked, and hurriedly sat up.

Wang Xuannian glanced at the room that was both unfamiliar and familiar with the faint fragrance, the layout of the room was very simple, a dresser, a round brass mirror stood on the table, and a jasper hairpin and a wooden comb were placed on the side.

The blurred reflection in the mirror reveals a cabinet opposite, with a table with a tea set next to it and two chairs next to it. The room is less luxurious in the Zhong Mansion and more unpretentious.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you up?"

Zhong Xuanli's voice came from outside, Wang Xuannian retracted his gaze and said, "Second brother, wait a minute." ”

Wang Xuannian got up and saw stacks of clothes on the small table next to the bedside, took it and put it on, only to find that it was cotton cloth, and then tidied it up before going out.

"Brother-in-law, let's go to dinner." Zhong Xuanli dragged the person to the left side of the corridor.

Only then did Wang Xuannian realize that his richly dressed brother-in-law was also dressed ordinarily.

Wang Xuannian glanced at the courtyard, there was an osmanthus tree planted not far to the left of the entrance, there was a reclining chair under the tree, a stone table surrounded by four stone benches, and nothing else. On the right side there is a well and a house.

The gaze touched the man, dressed in an unpretentious short spring shirt, with a wooden hairpin tied around her head in a bun, and she was doing the things of an ordinary woman.

Wang Xuannian felt very unreal, her slender hands were washing dishes there, and she came to her with extremely fast steps, squatting down to wash the dishes.

Zhong Xuanlan found someone coming, stopped his hand, and said, "You go and wash it." ”

Wang Xuannian withdrew his hand in a daze and said, "Wash the dishes first." ”

Chun Zhi, who came out of the kitchen, saw Wang Xuannian and said, "Son, you are here, and the hot water for washing is in the pot by yourself." He said loudly to Zhong Xuanli, who was standing in the corridor, "Young Master, go and serve porridge." ”

Zhong Xuanli retracted his gaze, pursed his lips, and went to the kitchen to serve porridge.

Here, Zhong Tinghao walked in from the gate of the courtyard with two big fish. Seeing the two people in the courtyard, he said, "Son-in-law, daughter, you see I caught two big fish, and we have fish to eat at noon." ”

Wang Xuannian praised: "Dad, you are so powerful." ”

Zhong Tinghao heard this and laughed.

Zhong Xuanli walked out with porridge, dismantled the stage and said, "Dad, you can blow it, this is from the family next door." ”

Zhong Tinghao explained: "The stinky boy is really underbeaten. I really caught it. ”

Zhong Xuanli pursed his lips and left with the porridge.

"Daughter, son-in-law, I really caught it?"

Zhong Xuanlan took the wooden basin and ignored him and walked towards the kitchen.

Wang Xuannian said to Zhong Tinghao: "Dad, I believe you." With that, he left.

Zhong Tinghao stood alone for a while, pouted, and handed over the fish to her when he saw the passing spring solstice, and returned to the lobby.

After Wang Xuannian washed up, he and Zhong Xuanlan walked into the lobby with a bowl only to find that there were seven people sitting in the room - Zhong Tinghao and his son, Sizhi, Zhong You.

Several people sat around the table, chatting, quite lively.

After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, everyone began to have breakfast.

"This bun stuffing is so salty, sister, you made it."

"There is no salt in the filling of this dumpling, this is made by the spring solstice."

"This scrambled egg with tomatoes is so sour that my teeth are about to fall out, young master, this is what you made."

“……”

A breakfast full of situations, everyone unanimously decided to let Wang Xuannian try it and make lunch.

There is no way, they don't know how to cook, and the person who can cook took the Zhong family fleet to sail to the ocean in June last year, and has not returned yet.
