Chapter 328: Lantern Festival (1)

Entering the winter, the days seem to pass faster, because marriage is imminent, Xiao Yao did not go to the hot springs this winter, staying at home to recuperate and make various preparations for marriage.

Lin You originally planned to help Xiao Yao take care of his body and continue to travel, but after recognizing Yun Yichen, his godson, he changed his mind and wanted to wait for the two of them to get married before leaving Kyoto. I heard that Xiao Yao had a hot spring and would not go there this year, so he went to enjoy it alone and did not return to Beijing until the end of the year.

rejected King Jing's invitation to go to the palace for the New Year, he wanted to stay in Xiao's house for the New Year, and experience the New Year's scene of family reunion and happiness.

The Xiao family attaches great importance to this New Year, and everyone knows in their hearts that this is Xiao Yao's last New Year at home, so they try to be as lively and grand as possible. Xiao Yao also changed the practice of hiding in the room and refusing to go out, and participated in the activities of his brother, younger brother, and nephews pasting blessing characters, hanging Spring Festival couplets, and even setting off firecrackers.

"Let's have a snowball fight together!" Looking at the crystal clear snow in front of him, Xiao Yao proposed.

Xiao Rui took Xiao Yu, Xiao Binghong, and Xiao Yuan as a group; Xiao Jun took Xiao Yao, Xiao Qi and Xiao Bingwen as a group.

As Xiao Yao shouted, a battle began, and it didn't take long for the battle to turn into a scuffle, with a lot of snow on everyone's heads, bodies, and even clothes. The laughter of the children in the courtyard soon spread to Ninghetang and the courtyards, everyone came out to watch the battle, and slowly Xiao Lang, Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yang also joined in, and finally even Lin You and Xiao Jingyan participated in the game together.

The old man and his sons stood aside to comment and support, and with them as the conductor, the scene became more and more chaotic. Qin's and Tong Mingyu's concubines and daughters-in-law cheered and cheered for the children with laughter and laughter, and a group of people played until the reunion dinner ended.

Just when they were having a crazy snowball fight, the people who sent fireworks from King Jing's Mansion arrived, and they also hoped that their daughter-in-law would have a happier last New Year at her mother's house, so there were a lot of fireworks sent this year.

After the reunion dinner, Xiao Yao and her family watched the fireworks together, and forced their sleepiness to accompany everyone to celebrate the New Year......

After finishing the New Year's activities, Xiao Yao locked herself in the room and drew her last "snow picture" at home.

When the painting was presented to everyone, it was already seven days later, and as before, the Xiao family began to look for their own figure on the painting.

"Doctor Lin, you are here." Xiao Yuan exclaimed.

There is still himself in the family portrait of the Xiao family, Lin You curiously squeezed into the crowd, isn't the person wearing a brown coat and watching with his arms crossed is himself?

For a person who has been traveling all the year round and has almost never experienced the warmth of family, Xiao Yao and the Xiao family brought him not only shock, but also touching. Let him feel like he has found his family and come home.

Or the daughter-in-law has a conscience, and it seems that it is right to prepare a wedding gift for her.

In a few days, it will be the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Xiao Yuan proposed that everyone go to the market together and watch the lanterns. Xiao Yao had never gone out on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and just wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but when she remembered that this was the last time she would spend the holiday with her brothers and sisters, she readily agreed.

"Grandfather, go too! Granddaughter accompanies you to have a good look at the lanterns. ”

The old man understands his granddaughter's thoughts, it's not that he doesn't want to go, if he goes, then the grandchildren will only take care of themselves, and how can they enjoy the lanterns to the fullest!

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Jun are the planners of this event, Xiao Lang and Xiao Yi are responsible for dispatching people, and there is a sister who is the first beauty in Kyoto.

On the fifteenth day, Xiao Yao first wore a blue skirt with a fur cloak of the same color, which was vetoed by her brother and sister, are you looking at the lights or trying to cause chaos!

If you are not allowed to wear women's clothes, then wear men's clothes! Xiao Yao changed into a cyan robe of the same color as Xiao Jun, but he didn't expect Xiao Rui to wear a cyan robe today, he looked at his cousin, and then looked at himself, he had to rush Xiao Yao back to the room to change his clothes again.

"If you continue to grind, the lantern festival is over." Xiao Yu really couldn't stand these people, could he not be allowed to go out because he was good-looking, and told him that he should not even wear a hood, so that the people could take a good look at the beauty of the Xiao family.

Tong Mingyu chose a purple skirt for her daughter, a black cape, and a big hood that covered half of Xiao Yao's face: "Mother, you should have someone sew a cloth bag on her daughter's head, and then make two holes in the eyes, so that at least I can still see the lanterns, what do you let me see in this dress now!" ”

"I don't think you want to go!" Tong Mingyu smiled and pinched her daughter's face, when will the naughty girl have the appearance of a big girl.

Kyoto's busiest streets are lit up like stars by a variety of lanterns, decorating the streets as if they were daytime. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also the favorite day of the official ladies, who can walk the streets freely without having to worry about so many rules.

The ladies all went out to visit the lantern festival together, how could there be fewer sons and young masters who came out to have fun and hunt for beauty! As a result, the streets became extremely crowded. Xiao Yao didn't pay much attention to what the lanterns looked like, she only saw countless figures dangling around, Xiao Jun grabbed his sister's hand tightly, lest she be scattered. Xiao Yuan is dressed in a child's clothes, and he doesn't need to be taken care of, he will look at the lights for a while, and he will look for snacks for a while, and he will be very busy.

After shopping for half a street and collecting a lot of gadgets, Xiao Yao actually didn't want to go forward, except for lanterns, crowds, or food, it was difficult to find other things, so what if you walked for a long time.

"Who's in front of you! I can't see my face clearly! Mu Fengwu gently turned Yun Yichen, no wonder this guy took the initiative to invite himself and Kong Xuzhe to come out today, it turned out to be a cat. After seeing Xiao Yao's style, he couldn't help but be happy again, how can he enjoy the lights when he dresses up like this!

Yun Yichen didn't pay attention to this matter, his eyes were firmly fixed on the hands of Xiao Jun and Xiao Yao. Even if you are brother and sister, you should be taboo! Genuine fiancés are here, and you still don't let go!

In fact, Yun Yichen really wronged Xiao Yao, the street is so crowded, where does she dare to let go! Besides, Xiao Jun took her hand and refused to let go, what can a person like a blind man do, is there a choice?

Xiao Yi followed his brother-in-law's eyes and knew what he meant: "You two come here." After a group of men surrounded Xiao Yao, Xiao Yi helped her sister take off her hood.

Before he could speak, Xiao Yao began to complain: "I have to have nightmares when I go home tonight, headless female corpses, embroidered shoes, and ghosts floating around." ”

What do you mean, everyone didn't understand what she said, and Yun Yichen asked the Xiao family brothers and sisters with a few eyes.

"What my sister means is that she could only see other people's feet all night, and nothing else." Xiao Yuanbian said that he came over and hugged Xiao Yao's waist, and he had to feed her the snacks he had just bought, and the two of them looked like a gentleman who was flirting with a woman from a good family, and it was a little interesting to see Mu Fengwu and Kong Xuzhe raised their eyebrows.

Yun Yichen's face turned black directly, these people are too much! I'm still like this, if I wasn't there, maybe I would do something even more excessive?

Mu Fengwu turned his head and snickered for a while, and said, "Your sister-in-law and Ruonan are in the restaurant not far ahead, let Ah Chen send someone to send you over now." ”

"I'm not going."

"No need!"

Very good, the courage is not small, Yun Yichen squinted at his cousin and fiancée, other people's girls are honest when they go shopping, these two people just hugged on the street, how can they look like everyone's ladies.

Mu Fengwu didn't expect his proposal to be rejected, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

"I haven't shopped enough, so I'm not going." Xiao Yuan was taken aside by Xiao Rui, and he was afraid that his sister would be slapped by his cousin if his hands were slow.

"I ......" I really want to go home, my feet hurt, my eyes are tired, and my spirit must be tense all the time, I am afraid that I will be separated from my family.

sulking for a while, Yun Yichen asked the two of them: "You don't go, right?!" ”

"Yes, we're not going." My brothers are all here, do my cousins dare to beat him?

After ignoring Xiao Yuan as air, Yun Yichen only stared at Xiao Yao, if she dared to refute her fiancé in public, she would make another note for her, and wait for her to settle it together after getting married.

Not to mention that the two of them are married now, even if they have nothing to do with it, Xiao Yao also knows the truth of saving face for men outside, so she didn't hear what it meant, and she bowed her head and wasn't ready to speak.

"You can continue to walk around here alone with your cousin! Little sister come with me so you don't have to wear a hat. ”

Go with him, where to go?

The Lantern Festival is also called the Yuan Festival, and there are many unmarried men and women traveling together on this day, not to mention that Yun Yichen and Xiao Yao still have a name, so it is reasonable to watch the lights together.

Xiao Yi knew that his sister was familiar with the princess and county lord of King Jing's mansion, and she and Yun Yichen were just an ordinary relationship to meet and greet each other. It stands to reason that it is normal for Yun Yichen to make such a request, and he should not refuse. But looking at his sister who is confused and hasn't figured out the situation yet, he always feels like a sheep is in the mouth of a tiger, and he is reluctant to let go.

"Why is the second brother worried about me?" Yun Yichen was already a little displeased, and he silently decided in his heart that if Xiao Yi dared to refuse today, he would let them not want to see Xiao Yao for half a year.

Xiao Yi persuaded his sister under the gaze of Yun Yichen's extremely lethal gaze: "You and Yun Shizi go shopping, the second brother is nearby, see you in the restaurant in half an hour, pick you up and go home together." ”

Go to the Lantern Festival with Yun Yichen by yourself, don't!

"I suddenly remembered that I had something to ask Ruonan, second brother, send me to the restaurant!" In contrast, the restaurant is safer, choose one of the two, of course, it is there.

Will Yun Yichen allow her to escape? finally met together, and there was a high-sounding reason, how could I miss it: "Come here, I'll take you to see the lights." ”

Can you faint for a while, Xiao Yao really wanted to try, but she didn't have the courage, she was sure that if she did that, even if Yun Yichen let herself go today, she would never give up in the future.
