On the night of the sixteenth, Hate Er and Shangguan Yi's family first went to the city to enjoy the lanterns, and then Liu Yingdao also picked up Yu Niang, the young couple has been engaged, although they have not yet married, but they are in the stage of being strong and I am strong, and only these two days in a year can play together openly, and naturally they don't want to be separated at any time.

In the end, Pei Xingjian also came to pick up Wanniang, Li Xiu didn't come forward, and even simply pretended not to know, so as not to let the two go, but seeing Wanniang's smiling face like a flower when she left, he was even more worried in his heart, but he couldn't tell others yet.

Those who can go are gone, and the rest are all out of the house in a carriage with Li Xiu, Qi Niang is also alone today, after all, Wan Niang, who hates children, has a company, so she can only follow Li Xiu and them, in fact, if Qi Niang is willing, she can still find someone to accompany her, after all, in addition to her family, she also knows a lot of girlfriends outside, but maybe she thought that this year may be the last Shangyuan Festival she spent in Chang'an, so she also deliberately decided to accompany Li Xiu to spend it together.

Although Li Xiu was worried about the relationship between Wanniang and Pei Xingjian, he really couldn't interfere with this kind of emotional matter, and Wanniang was already a big girl, and some things could only be faced by her alone, so Li Xiu could only hide this matter in his heart for the time being, and concentrate on accompanying his family to play at the Lantern Festival.

In fact, although the Shangyuan Festival in Chang'an City is lively, but there are many times to watch, and that's it, there is no way to compare the things that are played with later generations, but there are many children in the family, and children always like to be lively, no matter whether it is fun or not, as long as there are many people, and they usually have such an opportunity, so they are all crazy to play, and the things they buy are almost full of carriages.

But children are children after all, and in the second half of the night, these little guys can't stand it one by one, and in the end, only Ping'an Lang and Jin'er are left who are older and don't sleep, Qi Niang also accompanies Princess Pingyang and they chatted while playing, as for the sleeping children, they were all carried to the carriage, and naturally there were maids to take care of them.

"Husband, this Shangyuanjia feels more and more boring, shouldn't we go back?" At this moment, I saw that Yi Niang suddenly spoke, and looked at Yuechan next to her when she spoke, after all, Yuechan was still pregnant, and she was worried that Yuechan's body would not be able to stand it if she played too late.

"Sister, there seems to be a sound of singing in front, let's go take a look!" However, Yuechan said with great interest at this time, maybe it was not the first time she was pregnant, maybe the month was too young, Yuechan didn't feel anything, but her spirit was more than ordinary people, and she didn't feel the slightest sleepiness at this time.

Hearing Yuechan say this, Yi Niang didn't want to insist on going back, so a group of people continued to move forward, and after turning a square, a group of young men and women appeared in front of them who were singing.

In fact, in the Shangyuan Jia, the largest singing in the entire Chang'an City is generally on Suzaku Street, of course, in some other streets, occasionally see some young men and women spontaneously organize to participate in the singing, such as Li Xiu The scene in front of them saw a string of lanterns overhead, a group of men and women stepping on a neat beat, melodious singing for several miles, and even the street vendors couldn't help but join in.

Such a lively influence naturally attracted a lot of tourists, such as Li Xiu They are one of them, and there are more and more tourists on both sides of the street, and in the team of singing, although some people withdraw from time to time, more people join, so that the team of singing is also getting bigger and bigger.

Although Li Xiu and the others are all past the age of participating in the song, seeing such a lively scene also aroused the good memories of their youth, and they all stood on the street and watched this grand performance quietly.

But at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly felt someone pulling his sleeve, which made him turn his head to look, and found that it was Qi Niang standing next to him, only to see that she glanced at Li Xiu at this time, and then pointed to the direction of the street corner.

Li Xiu saw that Qi Niang's expression was a little strange, and looked in the direction she pointed out, but at a glance, he saw that in the crowd on the street corner, Wan Niang and Pei Xingjian were also standing there, and the two were talking and laughing while enjoying the performance in front of them, and they seemed to get along very well.

Li Xiu didn't expect to meet Wanniang and Pei Xingjian here, and he also showed a surprised expression at the moment, after all, Chang'an City is so big, and there are so many people participating in the Shangyuan Festival, and now that he can see them here, I'm afraid it can only be explained by fate.

"Big brother, do we want to come up and say hello to Wan Niang?" Qi Niang smiled at this time and leaned into Li Xiu's ear and said, Wan Niang is not far from them, but because there are too many people, Wan Niang did not find them for the time being.

"I think it's better to forget it, with Wanniang's temperament, I will definitely be shy when I see us, so let's not bother them." Li Xiu shook his head at this time and said, although he was still a little worried about Wanniang, but when he saw her and Pei Xingjian together, the bright smile on his face made him unbearable.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Qi Niang also dispelled the idea of going to see Wan Niang, Princess Pingyang and their attention were all on the song in front, and they didn't hear the conversation between Li Xiu and Qi Niang, nor did they find Wan Niang not far away.

The singing activity lasted until the end of the fourth watch, and Li Xiu and the others also felt a little tired at this time, so they got into the carriage and returned home with the sleeping child to rest, but Li Xiu couldn't sleep after lying down, because Wan Niang hadn't come back yet, and his heart had been hanging in the air, and he couldn't put it down at all.

"What's the matter, husband?" Li Xiu's strange appearance quickly attracted the attention of Princess Pingyang, and she also stood up and asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, go to sleep, it's almost dawn now! Li Xiu didn't want Princess Pingyang to worry, so he didn't tell the truth, in fact, for Wanniang's matter, Li Xiu also deliberately hid it from her family, and Princess Pingyang only knew that Wanniang met a man who was suitable on the fifteenth, so she went out to play together last night, which was originally a very normal thing, and Wanniang was not short of guards around her, but she didn't have to worry about safety or anything, so she has been very relieved.

"If the husband has anything on his mind, he will say it, and it is almost dawn now, so it will not be bad for a while!" Princess Pingyang sat up straight at this time and asked, after many years of husband and wife, she could naturally see that Li Xiu had something on her mind, in fact, when she was playing at night, she already felt that something was not right with Li Xiu.

Seeing that Princess Pingyang had to listen, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, after all, Princess Pingyang was Wanniang's aunt, and such a thing really shouldn't be hidden from her, so he sorted out his thoughts and told Wanniang and Pei Xingjian about it.

"Isn't this good, the Pei Xingjian that Wan Niang fell in love with was born in a famous family, and he was talented, the two can be said to be equally talented and good-looking, this is a rare happy event, husband, what are you worried about?" Princess Pingyang heard that the man in Wan Niang's picture was so good, and she was only happy at the moment, and she didn't think deeply at all.

"How is the lady confused, Pei Xingjian is good, his father and brother are also heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately he died at the hands of Wang Shichong, and the Pei family also fell into the middle of the family, I think Pei Xingjian is very ambitious, it is estimated that he wants to revive the prestige of the Pei family, now he may not know the identity of Wan Niang, if he knows, I am worried about ......" In the end, Li Xiu couldn't bear to say any more, Li Jiancheng had passed away, but his daughter had to bear such unfairness.

Princess Pingyang is not Qi Niang, she just doesn't like politics, but she doesn't understand, so she immediately understood the meaning of Li Xiu's words, which made her face gloomy, originally Wanniang and a few of them were the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, but now they have fallen to such a point, and they can't even choose a suitable Lang Jun, how can she not be angry?

"Okay, don't be angry, this is just my guess, maybe Pei Xingjian is not that kind of person." Li Xiu saw that his wife was angry, and hurriedly persuaded him, but Princess Pingyang was not angry with Pei Xingjian, but angry with her own family, so no matter how much Li Xiu persuaded him, it was useless, which made Li Xiu secretly regret it, knowing that he shouldn't tell the truth just now.

After persuading for a while, Princess Pingyang slowly lost her breath, and then closed her eyes under Li Xiu's coaxing, but she didn't fall asleep for a long time. After Princess Pingyang made such a fuss, Li Xiu didn't feel sleepy, and it happened to be dawn outside, so Li Xiu simply got up and went out for a walk, planning to wait for breakfast before going to sleep, anyway, he didn't have to go to the financial supervision these days.

Now it is the first month, the weather is still very cold, Li Xiu put on a fur and went out, did not turn around the house, but went out of the house directly, came to the yellow canal in front of the door for a walk, now the water in the river has been frozen, it looks white and green, and the river is also full of dry grass and shrubs, but as long as you wait until the spring breeze, the riverbank must be green again.

However, when Li Xiu was walking by the river, he suddenly saw a carriage rushing on the official road in the distance, Li Xiu recognized that it was the carriage he sent to Wan Niang, and there were dozens of guards in the palace behind the car, it seemed that Wan Niang was back, which made him very happy, so he walked to the front of the house and waited.

I saw that the carriage quickly stopped in front of the door, and then as soon as the door opened, Wan Niang jumped out of the car, but before Li Xiu could speak, I saw Wan Niang cover her mouth and run into the house, which made Li Xiu stunned, because Wan Niang seemed to be crying, could it be that Pei Xingjian bullied her?

But it's not right, when I was watching the song before, the two of them were still talking and laughing, why didn't they become like this for a while?
