The snow stopped on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. Although there is still a lot of snow on the streets, and the weather is very cold, people don't have to brave the snow to watch the lights.

As early as the morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Xie Mulin sent Cuijiao to inspect the address of a lantern festival closest to the Xie family's official residence, and made sure that the lights there were very good and worth visiting, so he discussed with his brothers and sisters about the time to go out to enjoy the lanterns.

Everyone thinks that the night on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is very good. It is the first day of the Lantern Festival, and everyone is idle. Wen's had a little cold in the past two days, so he had to give up going out with his children. Xie Pu had to act with his colleagues in the yamen, and he might have to accompany King Yan, the governor and several generals to the city to watch the lights, and he couldn't go with the children. The two brothers, Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi, immediately took out the charter, agreed with the younger siblings on the route after going out, as well as the precautions during the lantern viewing, and even decided on the candidates for the family members who accompanied the guards beside them, and it was strictly forbidden for any younger brother or sister to leave the army without permission, so as not to be bumped into by some messy people.

In the face of the three chapters of the two brothers' covenant, the others agreed very obediently, but they turned around and chatted about all their impressions and memories of the Lantern Festival in previous years, guessing what is the difference between the Lantern Festival in Beiping and the Lantern Festival in Beijing and Huyin County? Obviously, I didn't take my brothers' words to heart.

Anyway, no one here wants to leave their families to act alone, and the instructions of the brothers are just a vain order.

Xie Yingrong sat boredly on the side, not interested in the upcoming lantern festival. She had seen the most prosperous Lantern Festival lanterns in the capital, and she didn't think that the lanterns in Beiping City could be stronger than those in the capital. Her biggest regret is that her fiancé Wan Long is not in Peking and can't accompany her to see the lights. Otherwise, she could just talk more to Bandung and make him even more desperate for her!

I don't know what happened to Bandung in the capital, has he already met the future new monarch and the third prince? Could he have understood the implication of her earlier words? Can you successfully get the appreciation of the noble man of the third prince?

Xie Yingrong was very entangled in his heart, if Wan Long became the right-hand man of the three princes from now on, he would be rich and prosperous in the future, but that also meant that he would always stay by the side of the three princes in the future and would not easily return to Beiping. He and her are not married yet, even if he will be grateful for the appreciation of her and her mother's family, and will not break the contract and ruin the marriage, the time between the two is too short, will he follow her advice after marriage? Also, the two are separated by thousands of miles, and this wedding date is not easy to set, right?

No wonder the ancients would say, "Repent of calling your husband to find a marquis". If you want a man to make a career, you have to endure the pain of separation, and she knows this feeling very well now......

Xie Mulin, Xie Yinghui, and Xie Yingfen happily chatted about their expectations for tomorrow's Lantern Festival, and accidentally turned around to catch a glimpse of Xie Yingrong sitting by the window, sighing at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. But Xie Yingfen pulled her, and she immediately shifted her attention and no longer paid attention to what Xie Yingrong was doing.

Xie Yingfen smiled and gave her advice: "Ming'er, let's go to enjoy the lanterns, do you want to invite Mrs. Huang too?" I heard that Mrs. Huang has returned to the city, and yesterday she sent someone to send Changping specialty snacks to the eldest sister! ”

Xie Yinghui's face flushed slightly, and she said angrily: "Our brothers and sisters are traveling, and we didn't even follow our father and aunt, what do you propose to invite the elders outside to do?" I don't have anything to worry about, I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable. ”

Xie Yingfen smiled: "It's nothing, our brothers and sisters are all good children, even if there are elders with us, we will not be rude." I just thought that Ming'er's second brother-in-law was going to accompany the second sister to enjoy the lanterns, and the third brother-in-law was still in the capital, so it was just that the eldest brother-in-law was in the capital, but there was a mother-in-law who was still in Beiping. If you invite your future mother-in-law over for your eldest sister, you will have the right to invite your eldest brother-in-law to accompany you. Is this also good to appease and appease the lovesickness of the big sister? ”

Xie Yinghui knew she wanted to make fun of herself. Since the day of the beating, the three sisters slept in a bed for one night, and they became more and more casual and unrestrained with each other. If it was in the past, no matter how close the fourth sister was to her eldest sister, she would not speak casually to this extent.

Xie Yinghui took a sip of her little sister and said, "You don't think that only I can be teased, are you some kind of innocent and upright person?" Just now, you also told your aunt that you want to call Cousin Yang and Cousin Yang in the second room, cousins of similar age, just a joke, no need to talk about it. It is obvious that the fourth sister knows the meaning of the Lantern Festival, and she also wants to watch the lanterns and admire the moon with her future husband! ”

Xie Yingfen blushed suddenly. She does have such a careful thought, but she is still very shy to be said directly.

Xie Mulin laughed when he heard this, and squeezed his eyes at Xie Yinghui: "Okay, eldest sister, don't be angry, doesn't the fourth sister just want to show off?" Let's cooperate with my sister. They don't know when they will be able to formalize the marriage contract, and the fourth sister is not feeling well, let's be considerate and considerate. ”

Xie Yinghui said angrily: "You are also a narrow person!" There are four sisters in the family, you are the only one who can bring your fiancé out openly, and in turn chill us! It's just this year, it's just not a coincidence, next year's Lantern Festival, you see that I won't drag your eldest brother-in-law out, so I can show off! ”

Xie Yingfen raised her head from the embarrassment: "How will next year be the same as this year?" My sisters are going to get married this year, and by this time next year, you are all married, can you still go out with your brothers and sisters to enjoy the lanterns? I'm afraid this year's Lantern Festival will be the last time our sisters will gather together and go out to enjoy the lanterns. ”

This made Xie Yinghui and Xie Mulin a little stunned.

Hey? Thinking about it this way, it seems that their wedding date is indeed not far away......

The flush on Xie Yinghui's face became deeper and deeper, and she turned her head a little embarrassed: "What are you talking about?" Even if I get married, I'm still in the same city, isn't it easy to meet? Where can't you go out and enjoy the lanterns together? Next year, I really have to bring your eldest brother-in-law back and ask you to go out to see the lanterns together. If you don't believe it, we'll see! ”

What's not to believe in that? Xie Yingfen laughed when she heard this.

Xie Mulin also smiled, stretched out his hand and said: "Then we have agreed, as long as our sisters are still living in the same city, every year during the Lantern Festival, we must drag our husbands out to get together, and make an appointment to see the lights together!" ”

Xie Yingfen hurriedly stretched out her hand and put it on the back of her hand. Although Xie Yinghui was a little twisted, she also did the same. The three sisters looked at each other and smiled, and their hearts were full of joy.

Xie Yingrong, who was by the window, turned around and saw this scene by chance, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but thinking that he would be rich and prosperous in the future, he immediately straightened his chest again.
