Chapter 58: Chinese New Year's Eve
Five days later.
The subordinates of the General's Mansion were all preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve two days later, but there was a sword sound in Xia Changfeng's courtyard.
The man with a thick bandage on his chest had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his eyes were sharp, and his posture was vigorous and he wielded his sword freely in the long-lost sun.
"Chang Feng, what are you doing?!"
Xia Yihai, who came from outside, snorted coldly, and the young man in front of him immediately put away his saber and showed a hearty smile, "Father, the third sister said that my body is fine, so ......"
"So what? How can you play if the poisoning is not cured, go back to the house and lie down immediately!"
Xia Changfeng laughed helplessly, he seemed to have thought of something, put away his saber and looked at Xia Yihai seriously.
"Father, when did the third sister have such medical skills, if it weren't for her care, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly. ”
He couldn't help but think of Xia Qianwei's elegant face, and until now he couldn't believe that it was his third sister, after all, when he left the house, she was still that willful and vain makeup.
He didn't know much about his daughter's family, but his mother said that the third sister had her own aesthetics when she was young, and she would be able to return to the right path when she grew up, and now Xia Changfeng finally put her mind at ease.
Xia Yihai smiled with satisfaction, he was more and more satisfied with this daughter's performance in recent days.
"Second brother, it's time to take medicine. ”
At this time, Xia Qianwei came slowly from the corner with a freshly boiled decoction, Xia Changfeng looked at the girl who was approaching, no matter how many times, he had a feeling of being amazed and at a loss.
"Hard work third sister. ”
This man modestly took the decoction, his polite appearance was not half arrogant, the contact in the past few days made Xia Qianwei a little surprised, it was also from the Wen family, Xia Changfeng is completely different from Xia Lanchu, he has a very open-minded mind, and he is indeed as kind as the picture says, this kind of character is really not easy.
Seeing that Xia Qianwei had been looking at him, Xia Changfeng's slightly pale face couldn't help but turn crimson, although it was his sister-in-law, it still made him feel a little embarrassed.
"By the way, father, Lan Chu can come back on Chinese New Year's Eve, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yihai's face was slightly stiff, he subconsciously glanced at Xia Qianwei next to him, and only vaguely responded when he saw her face as usual.
Since Xia Changfeng woke up, in order to prevent him from worrying about his recovery, Xia Yihai told him that Wen's illness had been a few days, and Xia Lanchu went to Lei Ruo Temple to pray for her mother.
Xia Changfeng was filial and wanted to visit Wen as soon as possible, but after thinking about it, he was worried that his poisoning would affect her condition, so the matter was successfully concealed.
At this time, Xia Qianwei had already taken care of him to rest, and as soon as she stepped out of the house, she saw Xia Yihai still waiting for her outside.
"Qianwei, my father knows that the previous things have not yet given you an explanation, but your second brother ......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xia Qianwei already knew what the other party meant, and immediately smiled obediently, "My daughter understands, I don't believe that my mother will do such a thing, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve soon, and my daughter also hopes that the family will be reunited." ”
Xia Qianwei's generosity made Xia Yihai more and more relieved, he repeatedly promised that he would find out the matter, and told her a few words of concern before leaving with confidence.
Looking at the distant back, Xia Qianwei gradually restrained her expression.
She had long expected that Xia Lanchu would be able to come back soon because of Xia Changfeng's poisoning, and even the Wen family would be at peace with their sons, but if they didn't change their minds, they wouldn't want to live as safe and comfortable as before!
Passing by Wen's courtyard, there was a slight sound of movement inside, Xia Qianwei frowned, and vaguely smelled a different fishy smell mixed with the wind.
"Quick, be careful, if you break the contents of the box, the fourth lady will have to kill you!"
I saw that several housekeepers were carefully carrying a few boxes from the back door to the inner courtyard, Xia Qianwei leaned over, and a steward hurriedly stepped forward when she saw it.
"These are ......"
"Back to the third lady, these boxes contain the scriptures copied by the fourth lady in Lei Ruo Temple and the Buddhist classics collected back. ”
Scriptures and Classics?
Xia Qianwei smiled lightly, and swept the other party's nervous look without a trace.
It's okay to deceive others, Xia Qianwei is so sensitive to smells, those boxes are full of rare game, she once used bear bile as medicine, and its smell is very similar to the fishy smell in a box at this moment.
If the other party explained honestly, it wouldn't make her think about it much, but with such a desire to cover up, Xia Qianwei couldn't help but start thinking about Xia Lanchu's intentions.
Her heart moved, as if she had guessed something, and immediately pretended not to care and slowly turned away.
The steward breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little proud of his witty reaction, but the eldest lady and the fourth lady had specially explained that they must not leak the news, especially not let the third lady notice.
......
After that, the General's Mansion ushered in Chinese New Year's Eve in a busy situation.
In Kyoto, every house is filled with festive red lights, the red characters on the gates are auspicious, and the streets and alleys can be heard with lively firecrackers.
The light snow that had fallen stopped in the evening, and the courtyard was full of white footprints back and forth, and with the moonlit branches, the reunion table in the main hall was already set with sumptuous dishes.
Everyone had already gathered around, waiting for the arrival of the old lady and the general.
For the so-called family reunion, Xia Yihai lifted Aunt Du's grounding, at this time, she felt the sarcastic eyes cast by Aunt Ruan from time to time, and tried to keep smiling with her grievances, and she had already cursed the other party thousands of times in her heart.
"Grandmother, slow down......"
The group came slowly from the inner courtyard, and the old lady was supported by Xia Qianwei and Xia Changfeng, and she heard her smile before seeing her, which showed that she was in a very good mood.
Everyone looked up, but they felt that their eyes flashed, and all their attention was attracted by the beautiful girl.
Xia Qianwei wore an elegant pink embroidered jacket, the snow-white fur collar set off her crystal clear skin more and more tender, a pair of pearl earrings made the beautiful face charming and shining, she had such a charming color at a young age, and for a while everyone couldn't say all kinds of tastes in their hearts.
Suddenly, there was a stiff silence all around.
I saw that Wen, who had not appeared for a long time, slowly appeared in front of everyone with Mama Chen, her cheeks were reduced a lot, but she still had a dignified and decent smile in the past, and she changed her hair to a bun and pinned a golden hairpin to cover the wound on her forehead just right, and the whole person still held the posture of being the housewife, as if everything had never happened before.
"Mother, are you feeling better?"
Xia Changfeng stepped forward with joy on his face, Wen's heart was excited, and he just wanted to say something but was stopped by the old lady's stern gaze, so he had to hold back his emotions, "Seeing you, my mother is cured of everything!"
At this time, Xia Yihai also came back from outside, he gently swept everyone, and then, a slender figure walked out from behind him with lotus steps, accompanied by that soft and humble voice.
"Lan is late, I hope my grandmother will forgive me!"
