On the day of the Winter Solstice Festival, every household in Ling Tiancheng is celebrating, and most people choose to walk on the streets to play and watch.

Especially for young men and women, because every big festival is a good opportunity for them to show that they are attracted to the opposite sex.

Especially those aristocratic young masters and young ladies refused to let go of this great opportunity to play. In recent years, the trend of extravagance among the nobles of the Great Qin has gradually risen, which is due to the disadvantages brought about by the strong national strength, although it is not good, but it is in line with the law of social development.

Looking back at any dynasty in history, with the prosperity of the economy, there will inevitably be a culture of luxury, and when this luxury atmosphere reaches the point of being overwhelmed, the whole dynasty will be crumbling.

Therefore, the Great Qin Dynasty has also issued many decrees prohibiting extravagance and extravagance, but after all, the economic strength is there, and it is simple and limited.

Therefore, whenever there is a festival, the streets of Ling Tiancheng always see an endless stream of luxury carriages and tourists and ladies dressed in new clothes.

There are beautiful scenery and laughter everywhere, which can really make people forget to go home.

But even with such excitement and joy, there are still people who refuse to participate.

Since the morning, Mei Xiang's mouth has been pouting, which can be used to hang oil bottles.

Xiao Liuli saw it in her eyes but only pretended not to see it, because she knew that once she opened her mouth, Mei Xiang would definitely babble endlessly.

Of course, what he said was complaining that he refused to go out of the house to play and failed to live up to the good winter solstice festival. Mei Xiang is a lively person, and she has been looking forward to this day early.

So she prepared the clothes that the master and servant would wear the next day the night before, and Xiao Liuli refused to say anything, in order to sleep peacefully.

Sure enough, on the day of the Winter Solstice Festival, Mei Xiang couldn't move left and right, and only then did she realize that Miss didn't plan to go to the street at all.

No matter how much she jumps out of her temperament, she doesn't dare to be angry with Xiao Liuli, after all, there is a difference between master and servant, but it's okay to be angry.

Outsiders say that Xiao Liuli is really self-contained, looking at the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, the most unruly maid is Mei Xiang, but she has never been harsh. If it was another master, she would have been trained a long time ago.

Not to mention anything else, dog days kneeling in the sun, with broken porcelain under his knees and an incense burner on his head. In less than an hour, he called her to cry and call her mother, and when she saw her master in the future, it was like avoiding cats and mice.

Or in the middle of winter now, tell her to kneel in the shade with a large piece of ice in her arms, and when the ice melts, when she will be allowed to get up.

scare her once like this, and ask her if she dares to be coquettish in front of her master?

But Xiao Liuli said a word or two about her at most, it didn't hurt or itch, how could Mei Xiang be afraid of her?

Xiao Liuli was simply freshened up, and she was wearing homely clothes, without any decoration.

Her appearance is that no matter how ordinary she wears, it can make her stand out, not to mention that even homely clothes are never bad.

"Mei Xiang, bring me a big coat," Xiao Liuli said softly to Mei Xiang who was angry on the side, "The elements are cleaner." ”

Mei Xiang couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Xiao Liuli: "Miss, are you going out?" ”

"Of course you have to go out, otherwise what do you want to do in a coat?" Xiao Liuli was not annoyed.

"Great!" Mei Xiang jumped up happily and hurriedly went to get a gray squirrel's cloak and put it on Xiao Liuli.

"You should also wear some yourself, after all, it is the winter solstice, and the solar terms are not a joke." Xiao Liuli did not forget to remind Mei Xiang.

Mei Xiang stuck out her tongue and quickly took her coat and put it on, she was so happy just now that she forgot to take care of herself.

The master and servant walked out of the courtyard where they were, Mei Xiang's little face that was originally smiling like a flower couldn't help but wrinkle again, it turned out that the young lady didn't say that she was going out of the house, but just walking from her own courtyard to another courtyard.

"Miss, where are we going?" Mei Xiang asked lazily, the masters in the house, from the old lady to the aunts, had already gone out to play, and even the maids and maids with each of them went to see the excitement.

Thinking of this, Mei Xiang couldn't help but be depressed.

"It's been a few days since I've been back, and I haven't even seen my aunt and uncle in person. Although it was said that a few days ago it was because my aunt was sick and didn't like to see people, but now her illness has been much lighter, and I, as a junior, should go over to greet her. What Xiao Liuli said was reasonable, and Mei Xiang naturally couldn't refute it.

Xiao Bonian's younger brother Xiao Zhongze is known as Xiao Ersil, and he has been living with his wife Bai in the northwest courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, called "Xianting Xiaozhu", which can be regarded as the most quiet courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There are not many servants and maids in this courtyard, but they are enough. First, Xiao Zhongze and his wife are the most idle people in the house, and one of these two people is a fool and the other is unwilling to do much, so there is no need for too many people to serve in this courtyard.

In addition, Xiao Xu didn't live with them, but lived in the Shishi Pavilion in front of him, and only occasionally came to this courtyard to meet the two of them.

Although Mei Xiang has followed Xiao Liuli since she was a child, she is not impressed by the Bai family.

Because she has not been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, after all, Xiao Liuli has ten years of experience in studying art in Queping Mountain. What's more, even in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she rarely sees the Bai family.

In my impression, the Bai family has never been out of the courtyard to build this courtyard, and this time they came back from Queping Mountain, it has been more than half a month, but it is the first time to see the Bai family.

"I heard that my aunt is in good health these days, and my niece came to visit, please forgive me for the rudeness." Xiao Liuli respectfully greeted the Bai family, as if the person sitting opposite was really an elder she respected.

This situation makes people in the know admire Xiao Liuli for being really good at cultivating when they see it, after all, no matter what the reason, it is an extremely despicable thing for Bai and Xiao Cheng to give birth to Xiao Xu by fornication.

At this moment, a person ran in from outside, a chubby baby face, which became red because of the cold wind, adding a bit of festivity.

The clothes he was wearing were very luxurious, but unfortunately the hem of the robe was all wet with snow, and he didn't care about it.

Xiao Liuli saw this person and quickly got up, said good luck to him, and said, "Hello uncle, forgive my niece for being late." ”

It turned out that this person was Xiao Liuli's uncle, Xiao Bonian's younger brother Xiao Zhongze. It was as if he hadn't seen Xiao Liuli, nor had he heard her speak. Instead, he walked up to Bai with a smile and opened his hands together, and inside was a dead butterfly, but the butterfly wings were colorful, as if it was alive.

"Yingying, look! I caught a butterfly for you. "Xiao Zhongze is like a child, he believes that precious things should be given to those closest to him.
