The two red plum trees by the pond are particularly misty through the rain curtain, and if you look closely, the buds on the branches seem to have grown a lot, and the flowering period has arrived, but it has not bloomed. It was as if they were waiting for something, maybe it was the snow that hadn't fallen yet, or maybe it was the person who hadn't appeared.

November passed like this, and Ling Xiao had to sigh that this time was really like a stream, calm and slow, and flowing. Today is the day when she and Jiang Tingxue are married, the house is full of lights, the guests at the gate of the house are endless, and the main hall is already full. Jiang Qin listened to Xue like this

A daughter, now that the righteous girl naturally attaches great importance to it, there will be no shortage of guests who should be invited. This is a recognition of Ling Xiao, and it is also a kind of notification to the outside world.

In the room, several maids were dressing up Ling Xiao. The light blue wide-sleeved floor-length skirt made her even more cold, like a person made of ice. Ling Xiao had never worn such clothes since he left the Hou Mansion, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while. The hierarchy between the Nanzhuan and the Central Plains is not

All the same, Ling Xiao can be seen from the requirements of the clothing.

Jiang Tingxue had already made preparations, and at this moment she was holding a pink oil-paper umbrella, and two maids were carrying her floor-swaying skirt towards Ling Xiao's room. Under the pink oil-paper umbrella is a pink wide-sleeved long skirt, which is perfectly combined, like a peach fairy walking out of the painting.

"Are you alright?" As soon as Jiang Tingxue stepped into the room, he asked. Ling Xiao looked at Jiang Tingxue at the door, a little stunned. A Lingxu semi-loose bun was dotted with a crystal clear white jade step, which swayed slightly with Jiang Tingxue's steps. A pair of earrings up to a creamy neck. Willow eyebrows and thin lips

A little powder is already a city, and then with powder is even more ordinary.

"Miss Hui, it'll be fine right away." The maid bowed her head slightly.

Jiang Tingxue saw Ling Xiao looking at him, a little puzzled, Hao raised his wrist lightly, touched his cheek, and asked, "Is there something on my face?" ”

"No, you're a little stunned when you look like this." Ling Xiao was asked by her, came back to his senses, and answered truthfully.

"Out of the dust, the jade is not icy, but cold. This dress is beautiful, but it makes you too cold. If I had known this, I wouldn't have let you choose this kind of silk that day. Jiang Tingxue's tone was slightly regretful, she didn't like Ling Xiao like this, for so many days, she had been trying her best to give Ling Xiao

Happy, I want her to be warm. But what she didn't know was that Ling Xiao's heart had already been determined, and it was much more mature than her.

Ling Xiao gently hooked his lips: "I think it's good, you can relax." ”

"If you are not so dull and melancholy, I can be relieved. As your sister right away, I'm supposed to take care of you. Jiang Tingxue swore an oath.

Ling Xiao's eyes were a little moist, she really couldn't imagine that the treatment she had received in the two worlds had such a contrast.

"I didn't say anything, why are you crying so soon." Jiang Tingxue was confused.

Ling Xiao's eyes were slightly wet, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's just a little moved." Thank you, Sister Snow. ”

Jiang Tingxue was a little stunned: "Thank you." I've wanted to have a younger sister since I was a child, but unfortunately my mother left early. Now that I have got my wish, I am happy. ”

At the moment when Ling Xiao and Jiang Tingxue were talking, Ling Xiao's hair had been combed by several maids. has the same bun as Jiang Tingxue, but interprets two completely different charms.

"Two young ladies, the hour is coming, the head of the house will let you go quickly." A descendant came in the rain, did not enter the house, and knocked on the door twice.

Jiang Tingxue replied to the figure reflected in the carved door: "Got it." ”

In the rain, several maids hugged the two and walked towards the main hall.

The wooden bridge has a sense of old vicissitudes in the rain, and the departure of time is not left without nothing, it leaves behind the mellow unknown memory. I'm afraid no one can remember how many human footprints it left on it, how many rains, how many winds, or how many suns

。

"Second Miss, slow down, slip here." Now everyone in the house calls Ling Xiao the second lady, and the housekeeper also arranged a personal maid for her, who is a very clever girl. As soon as he saw Ling Xiao walking on the stone slab under the rockery, he reminded him carefully.

"Hmm." Ling Xiao's pace slowed down and became more steady.

The hour had come, Jiang Qin sat to the east, and Lu Jingxing sat in two rows with the guests in the north and south. Ling Xiao and Jiang Tingxue walked side by side, and walked straight to the main seat under the gaze of all the guests. Jiang Qin's face was filled with a smile that a father should have, looking at the two daughters who were walking towards him step by step, and his heart was one

kind of relief.

The two finally stood still in front of Jiang Qin, their knees slowly touched the ground, and the three prostrations were quickly completed, and a series of movements were surprisingly synchronized.

The servant brought the tea cup that had been prepared for a long time, and under the eyes of everyone, Ling Xiao carefully picked up the cup with both hands: "Father-in-law, please use tea." ”

"Father, please have tea." Then Jiang Tingxue also handed the cup out.

"Well, from now on, you will be sisters, remember to love and care for each other. Get up. Jiang Qin said a few words to the two with love on his face.

"Brother Jiang is really blessed, both daughters are so out of the ordinary, well-behaved."

"Yes, Brother Jiang, this is really enviable."

"The two young ladies are so naturally beautiful, I'm afraid there is no young man in the entire Qiantang City."

Although these words were a bit flattering, Jiang Qin was extremely happy to hear them. While being happy, he didn't forget to excuse himself: "Where, where." ”

The two worshipped Jiang Qin and officially became sworn sisters. But according to the rules, the two still need to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense.

"Everyone, feel free, Jiang is out of company." Jiang Qin got up and arched his hand to the guests, and led Jiang Tingxue and Ling Xiao to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was unusually silent, only the sound of rain outside the house was in stark contrast. In front of the altar is the ancestral spiritual seat of the Jiang family for generations, and the oil lamp in front of the spiritual seat burns slowly, day and night. The worship supplies were ready, and Ling Xiao and Jiang Tingxue knelt on the cloth, holding the three incense sticks handed over by the person who had just arrived

。 Jiang Qin stood aside, from kneeling down to Licheng, every detail came into his eyes.

After the worship, the six incense sticks burned quietly and slowly in the incense ding, and the wisps of green smoke went away with the wind and gradually dissipated. But after the worship, the two men were gone, and only one of the servants who took care of the oil lamps remained, and they never stayed away day and night.

Ling Xiao spent the day in a busy situation, his body was already a little tired, and he went back to the room after dinner.

"Second Miss, aren't you happy?" Que'er carefully took off her hair ornament for Ling Xiao, and through the bronze mirror on the dressing table, she could see Ling Xiao's silent expression clearly.

Ling Xiao tilted his head slightly when he heard this, a little puzzled: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Today is a day of great joy between you and the eldest lady, but you are very calm, you don't see a little joy, and I have rarely seen you smile by your side these days, and you always look like you have something on your mind." The finch spoke, but the movements in her hands did not stop.

"I've always been like this, and you'll know when you stay with me for a long time." Ling Xiao's voice was soft.

The bun was untied, and a shiny black strand of hair poured out of his shoulders until the tips hit the ground. In just a few months, the green silk that was cut by Ling Xiao himself has grown a lot.

Ling Xiao muttered to himself, "It's time to cut your hair again." ”

"Second Miss, this hair can't be cut randomly, it will be taboo." Finch reminded with a smile.

In the past few days, Ling Xiao felt that this bird was much more clever than Qi'er, and many times he would have his own opinions, although he had his own thoughts, he still kept the master in his heart, and he was more meticulous in doing things.

Ling Xiao smiled at her: "Then when can it be cut?" ”

"One or two days after the beginning of the month, this is just over, and Miss will have to wait until next year." The finch packed the makeup box without sloppiness.

The water on the eaves dripped into the pool one by one, and the sound of ding-dong ding-dong never stopped. The room was warm and calm, the oil lamps were warm and yellow, and the charcoal fire was not weakened. At this time, Que'er had already cleaned up the dressing table and laid out the bedding, she turned to Ling Xiao, who was sitting in front of the desk and holding a bamboo slip, and said, "Second Miss, it's not early

Let's get some rest. ”

Ling Xiao put down the bamboo slip and got up, "Well, you're tired too, go and rest early, and I'll do the rest myself." Ling Xiao sat on the edge of the bed and shook his neck, and said to the finch.

"I'm used to it, but I don't feel tired. I'll go out again when you sleep. Ling Xiao had already lifted the futon, and Que'er said as she gently lowered the gauze tent.

The figure in the tent lay down, the oil lamps were extinguishing one after another, and the darkness gradually shrouded in. After extinguishing the last oil lamp, she looked at the charcoal fire in front of the case, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she opened the door and walked out.

The red plum bloomed quietly, but it finally failed to wait for the first snow, and it could no longer hold the passing year, scattering a piece of beauty. And this kind of rain, as soon as it falls, it is like a child who is unattended, wanton and chic.

Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching in more than twenty days, and this time of year Jiangfu is the busiest time, whether it is Qianzhuang or other shops, you have to go and check carefully. Ling Xiao changed her clothes and walked out with Jiang Tingxue, who had been waiting for her for a long time. On this day, the two of them also went to check out four shops, so

Don't dare to delay on the road. This matter had nothing to do with Ling Xiao, Jiang Tingxue was worried that she would be bored in the house, so she called her together every day when she went out.

"The eldest lady, the second miss, please." When the pawnshop shopkeeper saw the two of them entering the store, he immediately greeted them with a smile.

"How's business going these days?" Jiang Tingxue asked as she walked.

"The year is approaching, and this business is much better than in the last few months." The shopkeeper followed.

Jiang Tingxue nodded, quite like a young owner.

Ling Xiao stopped in front of a locked room with Jiang Tingxue, and the shopkeeper took out the key and took two steps forward, only to hear a clang, and the lock had been unlocked.

There were several red lacquered wooden boxes in the house, and the shopkeeper walked over and opened them one by one, and all kinds of treasures were displayed in them, which were of great value.

"Miss, these are the top products acquired in the past few months, please take a look." The shopkeeper pointed to the two in front of him and took a few steps back to make way for the two of them.
