Chapter 98: Chinese New Year's Eve
After Lan Jing'an became the chief priest on the 29th of the lunar month, the second day was the 30th day of the lunar month, which was also the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Therefore, Bai Qingfeng and Wan Ping both decided to accompany Lan Jing'an to spend the New Year before leaving, and they also saved themselves from spending the most important festival of the year on the road alone.
Lan Jing'an completed the sealing ceremony of the Great Secretary yesterday, and now she has nothing to do, and she is accompanied by relatives and friends, so she is naturally very comfortable. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone gathered together and had a reunion dinner together.
In addition to Bai Qingfeng and Wan Ping, Jiang Xianlin was also alone in Jiangling, so Lan Jingan also invited him to celebrate the New Year together. As for Feng Yan, she still has relatives in Jiangling, and after completing Lan Jing'an's sealing ceremony, she temporarily asked Lan Jing'an to resign and go to celebrate the New Year with her family.
Lan Jing'an also deliberately pulled Biluan to sit together. In her eyes, Biluan and Bi Kite are no different from her sisters. Bi Kite has already given her life to save her, and she now only has Bi Luan, a person who has accompanied her from Baiyu Pass since she was a child. She naturally doesn't want to treat Biluan as a maidservant, she prefers to let her be her sister and best friend.
And Xie Weining's master and servant came uninvited, especially Xie Weining put on a pitiful appearance, as if it would be a great sin not to let him spend Chinese New Year's Eve together. Everyone was unwilling to entangle with him on such a good day, so they could only reluctantly agree to him. However, several people in the room ignored him intentionally or unintentionally and did not chat with him.
Xie Weining has good means, and he can always interject a sentence or two when everyone talks about the rise, and it resonates. The rest of the time, he just sat and listened.
Although Xie Weining's mind is extremely high, he is a few months younger than Lan Jing'an after all, and now he is just a dancing elephant boy. When he showed his well-behaved side, Jiang Xianlin, a rectum, relented in the end and took the lead in accepting him. With Jiang Xianlin at the beginning, it was difficult for everyone to isolate him anymore, so they had to push the cup with him and change the lamp.
When everyone was feasting, Lan Jing'an missed Brother Qingyun more and more in the distance. I don't know who he is eating the New Year's dinner with now, and if he is also thinking about himself in his heart.
Lan Jing'an has only been growing up for two years since she was a child, and she has not celebrated the New Year with Brother Qingyun. Once was trapped in the Magnolia Garden on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, and once this year. She couldn't help but think back to the scene when she and the Marquis of Dingyuan's family spent the New Year in Baiyuguan or Yonghua City.
Whether it is in Baiyuguan or Yonghua City, at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, they will sit together with men and women, and the family will drink and talk happily. At that time, she was the pearl of the family's palm. You will always get more dumplings than others.
When she was young, she didn't like to eat dumplings, and she refused to live up to the wishes of others. So she always took advantage of people's unpreparedness and secretly picked up all the dumplings in her bowl to Brother Qingyun's bowl. Brother Qingyun had to cover up for her every time, and hurriedly helped her eat it. There were several times when she choked on food, and in a panic, she privately rushed to deliver water to him.
Thinking of Brother Qingyun's embarrassed appearance at the beginning, she couldn't help laughing. Bai Qingfeng looked at her and was distracted, and it was estimated that she should be missing Xiao Qingyun again. And Wan Ping also noticed her smirk, and hurriedly asked her what she was laughing at. Lan Jing'an was embarrassed to say it at first, but later she was just Wan Ping's curiosity, and she still told her childhood anecdotes.
When they heard this, they all laughed. Especially Bai Qingfeng, he even told Lan Jing'an that in fact, everyone in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion knew that she didn't like to eat dumplings, and they also knew that every time she relied on Xiao Qingyun to get by. But at that time, in order to tease the two of them, the elders would keep giving her dumplings.
Everyone laughed and tears were about to come out. Wan Ping stroked her stomach and crouched on the desk, smiling and knocking over the cup. Bai Qingfeng couldn't stand it up, and stood up seriously, and put a dumpling into the bowl for Lan Jing'an. Seeing Lan Jing'an with a bitter face and obediently eating dumplings, the sound of others laughing filled the entire room.
It's just that no one knows that behind Xie Weining's laughter is the sourness in his heart. That ugly girl is full of Xiao Qingyun, if she really kills him one day, will she hate herself?
In addition to the New Year's banquet, there are many other customs on Chinese New Year's Eve, such as ancestor worship and New Year's observance. The people here could not pay homage to their ancestors, so they could only sit around the stove after the dinner, chatting together, waiting for the moment to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
Lan Jing'an saw that everyone was chatting happily, and she excused herself to go to the convenience and walked out of the warm room alone. Lan Jing'an walked straight to the place where the wine was stored, carried the pot of wine, found a ladder, and crept up to a roof far away from the place where everyone was keeping. She swept a patch of snow with her sleeve, put her big plush under her, and sat down.
She misses Brother Qingyun in her heart, misses Dingyuan Hou and the Li family, and misses everything she once had. But she is unwilling to sweep away everyone's interest at such a moment, so she can only miss it alone and be sad alone.
Lan Jing'an raised her head and took a big sip of wine, this method of climbing to the roof to relieve her mood was something she learned from Brother Qingyun.
At that time, he suffered a lot in order to gain a foothold in the Northwest Army and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. His depression has no one to complain about. So she sat on the roof with him, watched him drink sullenly, and then listened to him call her Ahri.
Brother Qingyun always does what he needs to do after he comes down like no one else. Lan Jing'an didn't know if he would be liberated like Brother Qingyun after he went down for a while.
Lan Jing'an put a bottle of cold wine in his stomach, although his body was warm, his hands were cold. At this time, she heard a rustling sound, she turned her head to look, and found that Xie Weining had also climbed up with two bottles of wine.
Lan Jing'an was very vigilant and wanted to bypass him. Whether he deliberately stalked him or unintentionally liked to climb the roof, she didn't want to be with him. But he blocked her way, and she was a little weak with a bottle of wine, and she didn't dare to push him to prevent herself from falling off the roof.
Xie Weining climbed directly to her with a big grin, stretched out his hand and pressed Lan Jing'an back again, and then swept the snow under him indiscriminately, and sat next to him.
Lan Jing'an's expression was obviously unhappy: "Xie Weining, get out of the way, I want to go down." ”
Xie Weining tilted his head to look at her and sneered: "What? Afraid of me so much? You'd better sit there honestly. If it is a toss, whether you fall or I fall, neither you nor I can escape the torture. You don't want the new year to start in pain, do you? ”
Lan Jing'an heard him carry out her death hole and threaten her, although she was angry, she still reluctantly sat back down. As if knowing that the wine bottle in her hand was empty, Xie Weining handed over a bottle of wine in her hand and snatched the empty bottle in her hand.
Lan Jing'an found that the wine he handed himself was actually lukewarm. But she didn't dare to eat and drink what he gave her, what if he drugged again?
Xie Weining didn't look at her either, and directly broke her mind: "This is in your territory, and my body has been searched back and forth by your people many times." Do you think I could hide it if I had poison? You don't even feel at ease about eating where you live, and I'll run around with you all the way in the future, are you going to starve yourself? ”
Lan Jing'an didn't know if he had drunk too much wine, his brain was a little spinning, he was aroused, and he took a big sip of the wine jug. Then he turned to him and said, "I have drunk the wine, let me go down." ”
In the dead of night, Xie Weining was in the faint light, and he could still see Lan Jing'an's flushed face and her starry eyes. It turns out that it feels so good to be with someone you like.
