Xiao Rui came, and the Xie family left again.

It has gradually become a daily routine for him to visit his parents-in-law and his fiancée. Not to mention the Xie family, who didn't see him uncommonly, even the neighbors in the neighborhood slowly got used to his appearance, and no longer paid special attention to it every time, and used this kind of thing as a talking point to mention it over and over again.

Xie Mulin is also very accustomed to putting away the small jewelry that Xiao Rui gave him, and when he is in a good mood and in need one day, he will choose one or two to wear on his head or body. For example, when she got up early the next day, she saw that the sun was shining outside, and she was in a good mood, so she specially picked a silver hairpin inlaid with golden amber and put it on.

When she went to the main courtyard to ask her mother Wen for peace, she met that the sisters were there, and everyone found her hairpin, so she didn't need to ask much, she knew that it must have been sent by Xiao Ruixin recently, and they all admired and joked. Xie Yinghui also thought that her future mother-in-law, Mrs. Huang, Zhen, had also sent a few small pieces of jewelry, which seemed to have a hairpin inlaid with amber, but it was not so big, but the color seemed to be about the same, why don't you wear it on your head after you go back and be a companion with your second sister?

Xie Yinghui chatted with Xie Mulin about amber jewelry, Xie Yingfen followed alongside, but Xie Yingrong, staring at Xie Mulin's hairpin for a while, then moved to sit next to his mother-in-law Wen, and chatted with Wen's for a while: "Madam, in the past two days, I heard the sound of frolicking from time to time outside the back wall of the house, and asked the girls to inquire, only to know that Shichahai was frozen, and someone was frolicking on the lake!" I've never seen Bing Xi, I don't know what it looks like, I just heard the mother-in-law in the yard say that every winter, many families go to Shichahai to play in the ice, last year our neighbors went, and my father and wife also went to admire. I don't know...... Are we going to go this year? ”

Xie Yingrong's new topic also attracted the attention of Xie Mulin, Xie Yinghui, and Xie Yingfen. Xie Yingfen's eyes lit up and said, "Yes!" I heard my second uncle and grandmother mention that people in the northern realm have ice frolic customs in winter! I haven't seen my second uncle and grandmother for decades, and I miss it very much! Is it already season? ”

Xie Yinghui also showed a curious and yearning expression, she had never seen this kind of entertainment.

Xie Mulin remembered that in the past two days, he had not heard any frolicking sounds from the ice of Shichahai, after all, the courtyard where the sisters lived was separated from Shichahai by two high walls, a whole garden, and a small open space by the lake. If you don't have a specific purpose, you won't go out of your way to the ice near the back door of the residence. She still remembers that on the top of the rockery in the back garden, she once looked out at the lake, and there seemed to be a lot of aquatic plants such as lotus flowers in that area, and God knows if it would affect the stability of the ice surface.

Cuijiao mentioned to her the ice frolic activities of last year and the year before that, and Xie Pu and his wife did go to see it, but it was on the second floor of the teahouse in the vicinity of the nearby pier, and it would never be by the lake at the back door of the official residence. So...... Did Xie Yingrong really hear the frolicking of the ice frolic crowd?

Xie Mulin looked at Xie Yingrong suspiciously.

Xie Yingrong didn't notice it, just stared at Wen's with his eyes, waiting for Wen's response.

Wen smiled: "There are so many things this year, I almost forgot about this." In previous years, I watched the ice frolic from a distance on the second floor of the teahouse on the shore of Shicha Sea, and the lord accompanied King Yan to see it closely. But none of our children are in Beiping, so when the neighbors beckoned the children of each family to play together, our family did not participate. This year, you are here, and it is naturally different from previous years. If the Yanwang Mansion wants to hold an ice frolic garden party, our family, young and old, will definitely go together! Let's all go and take a look, even Hanzhi has to go, just dress warmly. This one is invisible to the south, which is very interesting. You should just open your eyes, but you haven't learned, so it's best not to try it yourself, otherwise you'll break yourself, and it's not fun. ”

Xie Yingrong took a deep breath and continued to pretend to be unintentional and asked, "Mrs. said so interestingly, we must have a good knowledge!" I just don't know this ice frolic...... When will the garden party be held? It's better to prepare in advance. ”

Wen smiled: "Just dress warmly, what do you need to prepare in advance?" She thought for a moment, "Yo, if it is according to the habit of previous years, it will almost be done when it enters the wax moon, and if the ice in Shichahai is not thick enough at that time, then it will be postponed for a few more days, but it will not be delayed for too long." It's going to take some time this year, but before the garden party, other families may not go to Shichahai to play. If you are really curious, I will ask people to inquire about the plans of other families, and then I will take you to the nearby teahouses and restaurants to have a look. ”

Xie Yingrong suddenly smiled: "Then thank you, Mrs." If there's such a buzz to see, we must go! Call all the brothers, right? Call the girls of Wanjia again? The two of us are so familiar with each other, and we often come and go, and we shouldn't have seen each other. ”

Wen hesitated, smiled, and did not refuse. If all the children of the Xie family go out to enjoy the ice play, all the children of the Wan family should go together according to the number of etiquette. But she knows very well that Mrs. Wan has a good temperament, and the other party will never pay attention to these customs and etiquette, and will definitely only bring her two daughters-in-law, not even her son-in-law. Although Mrs. Wan intends to marry, the daughters-in-law of the Xie family already have a marriage contract, and it is impossible for her to accept her concubine as her daughter-in-law, so in order to be safe, it is better to ask the two sisters-in-law to appear in front of the Xie family. If the sister-in-law doesn't come, it's even more unlikely that the concubine will come, and in the end, Mrs. Wan took the two daughters-in-law and the Xie family out to play together, what is the difference between the three of them and the mother and daughter coming to the Xie family to sit on weekdays?

Xie Yingrong didn't understand the trick of this, and he was still happy in his heart, feeling that this temptation was quite successful. If it goes well, there's a good chance she'll see Bandung. She still has to meet him officially, and then reveal some heartfelt words, so that this young man who is destined to soar in the future will realize the benefits of the two getting married, and Wan Long will definitely actively strive for this marriage at that time.

Otherwise, she is just a dispensable marriage partner for him, so why should he go to great lengths to promote the marriage between the two?

However, just when Xie Yingrong thought that everything was going well, Wen suddenly hesitated for a moment and said: "This year, the official eunuchs in Beiping City, I'm afraid they may not be as keen on ice frolic as in previous years, especially the few families in our vicinity, all of whom are political envoys. Mr. Zhou is about to reach the limit, maybe he will die one day, how can everyone have fun as he likes? ”
