New Year's Day Part II

Xinjie took Lian'er to salute one table at a time, and he often habitually went to support her waist, which made the people who were still thinking about whether the rumors of the third young master and this white girl were true or false just now got the best answer.

Although Xintian was sitting next to Jing'an, he was very depressed in his heart. If I had had been a little less scrupulous and didn't mind my mother's thoughts, and had actively fought for it, maybe it was him who took Lian'er to toast like this, not Xinjie. He doesn't care about Xinjie's rise in the family business, the third child is already capable, and the Tang family's business is so big, it really needs everyone's cooperation. But grandma asked Meilian to help Xinjie deal with Baihuatang, which obviously affirmed their relationship.

Sitting there, there was an illusion that it wasn't the New Year, it was the grandmother who was holding a disguised wedding for the third brother, which looked like the bride and groom going to toast the guests. He always felt that it was a little weird for his grandmother to be like this. Maybe he should have taken Lian'er out of the Tang Sect before the third brother came back, away from the whirlpool of right and wrong, so that at least she could live a quiet and peaceful life, but it was too late now. He felt as if Lian'er had been placed in a strange circle by his grandmother, and as for what was in this strange circle, he couldn't say, but it made him very uneasy.

Tang Lan sat there silent, but he had always been like this, so everyone didn't care. But his heart was struggling sharply. He was worried about his son. Xinjie may be far more capable than he was back then, and Lian'er is smarter than Yanyan in handling things, but if their mother really wants to push them to the center of the whirlpool of the storm, will the two of them be able to withstand it? He's glad to see his son find his beloved, but if the war starts, will the couple be together for the rest of their lives? Whether he and Yeon-yeon's only son will be safe. After sending Lan Xin's family away yesterday, his mother had a long talk with him. She wants to take advantage of this big game to end some old things over the years and give everyone an explanation. Maybe there are some things that can only be done by Xinjie, but do they have to be done? In fact, many things have passed for so many years, so why do you have to explain them? He thinks that if Yeon-yeon is alive, she may have the same thoughts as him, that the past is right and wrong, right and wrong are not important, the important thing is that their children can be happy. But their children are not ordinary children, they are the children of the Tang Sect, for the sake of the Tang Sect, for the sake of the world, they have to fight against the water. Xinjie has been wandering outside for many years, and it is easy to have a lover of his own, and he has not had time to fully enjoy his family, enjoy the love and the life of ordinary people, and he has to take his wife into the battlefield, which seems a little too cruel.

After three rounds of drinking, the hundred operas outside opened again, which was very lively, and then it was a big drama sung by the famous actors.

Lian'er followed Xinjie from table to table, and was finally able to return to her seat and sit down. Grandma asked Xiao Jiu to toast the major shopkeepers and uncles instead of her. The brothers of the Tang family also worked hard for a year, and it was rare to get together lively, until the fireworks were set off in the early morning, and the soup porridge and snacks were served.

The noisy New Year's Eve has finally come to an end. Lian'er sat in front of the dressing table and slowly combed her hair, she was wearing a garnet-red loose robe on the outside and a pink silk dress on the inside. Because of the Chinese New Year, Lian'er specially changed the color of her home-cooked clothes. In previous years, she would not change, but this year, with Xinjie accompanying her, it can be regarded as the mood to set off the choice of clothing.

Since the beginning of winter, most of the owners of the courtyards in Tangzhuang have burned the kang in the house very warmly. Lian'er didn't like this very much, and thought it was too dry, but since she was injured, she was particularly afraid of the cold, so Xinjie took the initiative, not only did the kang burn hot, but also added an extra smoker cage for her in the house, so that her house was warmer than other places, and she wore very little, which was also an unexpected gain for him.

Since Lian'er was injured, Xinjie likes to bring her tea and medicine at night, and even though she has recovered today, he is still happy to bring in the tonic soup for her. In the past, it was all kinds of blood-tonifying soups, but today he replaced her with the decoction that her grandmother had just given her. Because the best deer fetus is expensive, she never has any medicine she usually uses, and I don't know where Xinjie got it.

"Why are you thinking about changing your dressing today?" Xinjie has always been a master of dispensing, so Lian'er just asked casually, without really wanting to know.

"Well, I want you to get better sooner, the weather is cold, increase the blood line, so as not to damage the meridians from the cold." Grandma told her not to say it, Xinjie could only vaguely go over, and feed her slowly with a bowl. Recently, I've become accustomed to relying on him, so I didn't think about it, he fed and drank whatever he fed, and after drinking the medicine and the water for gargling, Xinjie brought the cups and bowls outside, and the moment Lian'er stood up after combing her hair, she felt that her body began to get hot, and the flush on her face gradually rose, and she remembered that the medicine just now might not be right.

When Xinjie came in, he saw her standing there strangely, and asked her what was wrong?

"What did you just give me a drink?"

"Deer placenta cream." He looked at her face crimson, and it didn't look like her clothes were red by the light.

She said timidly: "I was afraid that I would be late in the afternoon and I couldn't support it, so I ate two Lingcao Pills." Xinjie was surprised, and then started laughing: "Why didn't you say it earlier". Lingcao Dan can not only refresh the mind, but also the main medicine will be fused with the deer fetus, forming a great stimulation for women.

Lian'er was a little annoyed by his laughter, "It's all your mess, can't you come over?!"

Xinjie hurriedly came over and hugged her, but he couldn't help but laugh: "Just give me your New Year's gift." He still just hugged her and didn't move, and Lian'er was already starting to get upset. Xinjie feels that sometimes I don't know if it's fate, Lian'er was born to be his, and it brings him happiness. In the morning, Grandma was still warning him not to pester her all day, who knew that Grandma gave him the medicine herself, so that he inadvertently dispensed a dose of * for her. Although their love of fish and water has been flowing smoothly in the past few months, with tacit understanding, and * repeatedly, but he is asking, she has always been shy and steady, and has never taken the initiative herself, which is good, let him enjoy the fun of his wife in his arms in the new Chinese New Year's Eve. The effect of the medicine made her face flush, and even her neck and upper body became pink, which made him love it.

Although there is a drug support, but after a turn of passion, she is still not very weak, and he is very heartbroken to see it. "You can rest more these days, don't worry about the things you can care, when you were freshening up just now, Grandma also asked Caiyun to come, so that you don't rush over tomorrow morning to comb her hair, rest more, just come with me at breakfast." Lian'er looked at him a little strangely, but didn't speak.

Xinjie began to hesitate whether he really wanted to take her on the road, or let her stay at home for a while, and then send someone to pick her up after he arrived in the capital. But I really left her at home, and I couldn't bear it, and I didn't feel at ease.

"What are you thinking?" Apparently he frowned to get Lian'er's attention, reaching out to stroke gently.

"You know that the prince has already sent someone that day, and I need to go to a few places after the New Year, and then enter Beijing, alas......"Xinjie didn't know what to say later.

"You want me to wait here for you to come back? Or do you want me to go with you? ”

"Of course I want you to go with me, but the road is very hard, it may not be clean, and I want you to take care of it at home." Lian'er didn't speak, just hugged him and kissed him, he understood that she had told him that she would not choose the latter.

After calming down, the two of them still did not feel sleepy, Lian'er lay quietly, and he slowly watched and caressed his body by the light, listening to the occasional sound of firecrackers in the distance in the yard. This is their first Chinese New Year's Eve together. Although they have decided not to separate, Xinjie does not know how many opportunities they will have to enjoy this quiet and warm time along the way, even in the capital.

Lian'er asked him: "Today, grandma said that let's go to Baihuatang to inspect all over the Baihuatang after the festival... Did you tell your grandma that you wanted to take me away, or did she tell you to take me away? And it's to the capital. ”

"I don't know." Xinjie was really puzzled.

This answer surprised Lian'er a little.

"I think Grandma had already planned for you to take over the Hundred Flowers Hall before I came back, so that I could have more time to deal with other things in the capital. So it should have been in grandma's plan for you to go with me to inspect the Baihuatang for a long time. And maybe she'll let you go to Beijing to help me with other things. That's how I feel, she never said. "Xinjie thinks it's better to tell Lian'er the truth." The emperor's health is no longer optimistic, there are too many people staring at that dragon chair, and to ensure Yiyi's normal succession, we may have to face a lot of tricky things in the capital. This may also be Tangmen's biggest gamble in recent years. So I guess it was my grandmother who had planned to let you follow me into Beijing a long time ago, but in the capacity of the deputy head of Baihuatang. It's just that maybe she didn't think that I would fall in love with you, and now it becomes that I am reluctant to leave you here anyway and want to take you with me. ”

"Maybe she already thought of it?! It's planned. ”

"Can this kind of thing be planned?" Although he objected verbally, he had already thought about it in his heart. "If that's the case, I'd have kowtowed to her old man a few more times, and actually planned such a good daughter-in-law for me."

"It's not the first time your family has arranged a marriage for you."

"That's different. If these were grandma's plans, I would not only thank her, but admire her. In this world, the most unpredictable thing is human feelings, which are the most uncontrollable and unpredictable. At most, she can plan for me to see you, to have a chance to get along with you, but she can't control people's feelings, let alone force me to really love anyone. If I were her, I would have planned Big Brother instead of planning me. Her old man likes you so much, wouldn't it be better for you to be her eldest granddaughter-in-law, and you can wait for her old man at home every day? ”

"That's hard to say, grandma should have known that I wouldn't follow Xintian."

"Maybe. But I was originally a bohemian and cynical prodigal son in this family, and I don't think she would have imagined that I would fall in love with you in such a short period of time, and fall so deep. ”

"It's not just a prodigal son, it's a veritable wanderer, a playboy. Are you sure you're really in love? Lian'er flipped over and looked at him mischievously.

"Little lady, do you want me to prove it to you?" He began to move, so frightened that she quickly turned back to her seat and wrapped herself in the quilt, but the quilt could not save her.
