On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole yard was snow-white when the snow was open outside the window, and all kinds of red lanterns hung under the eaves and corridors.

The windows are covered with curtains, and the red plums in the corners are in full bloom.

Shen Xingwan was wearing thick clothes, standing in front of the window and pointing to the blooming red plums, "Qinghong, you cut a few branches and send them to the old lady and the wife." ”

Qinghong responded, and took the little girl ring to cut plum blossoms.

Dongqing handed the hand stove that had just been stuffed with carbon to Shen Xingwan, "Miss, go out, everyone is waiting." ”

Shen Xingwan stepped out of the room and stood on the steps, and the people in new clothes greeted her happily, "Happy New Year, Miss, all the best." ”

Shen Xingwan also smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard this year, and I have instructed the kitchen to cook a few tables of good dishes for everyone at noon." ”

Dongqing led someone to send out the red envelopes prepared in advance, and everyone became more and more happy when they received the red envelopes.

Shen Xingwan was also infected by the lively mood, "The breakfast kitchen cooked rice balls for everyone, everyone remember to get them." ”

"Got it, Miss."

"Thank you, Miss."

The subordinates said auspicious words, and they scattered in twos and threes.

Banxia held an umbrella, wrapped it into a ball, and slowly moved towards Shen Xingwan's side.

Shen Xingwan was not in a hurry to go in, standing at the door and waiting for her to come over.

As soon as Banxia came over, a little girl took the flash in her hand, Banxia stomped her feet and shook off the snow on her shoes, before handing the letter and a wooden box in her hand to Shen Xingwan, "Yannan is from there." ”

Shen Xingwan took the letter and did not open it immediately.

Instead, he waited for breakfast before opening the letter in the study.

Fu Jingchao said in the letter that Yannan's situation was complicated, and it had been infiltrated by a lot of aliens, which was very tricky, and it couldn't be dealt with for a while.

I also told Shen Xingwan a few interesting things and wished her a happy New Year.

Inside the box is a New Year's gift.

Shen Xingwan opened it and it was a crystal clear Lantian jade hairpin.

Shen Xingwan played with it in his hand for a while, carefully put it away, and decided to use him for tomorrow's headdress.

Shen Qingran's illness is still not well, and Shen Xing has to worry more about the affairs of the mansion in the evening.

Lunch is served in the yard.

In the afternoon, Shen Xingwan and the maids around him were busy, and the reunion dinner in the evening was the highlight of the day.

Shen Xingwan was almost busy, sat down and took a sip of tea, and someone came to report, "Tell Miss, the King of Fusang is visiting." ”

Shen Xingwan stood up suddenly, "I'll go and greet you personally." ”

As soon as Shen Xingwan walked to the door with the people, he saw Li Xi walking in a big fur.

The attendant behind him carried a full load of gifts.

When Li Xi saw her, her peach blossom eyes showed a mocking smile, and she seemed to be still the seventh son of Shen who loved to tease her.

"Happy New Year, sister." Li Xi smiled and spoke.

Shen Xingwan smiled at him, "Happy New Year." ”

The two walked side by side, not looking at each other unpleasantly as they did at the beginning, and they would inevitably hate each other when they met.

"How is Qingran's health?" Li Xi asked.

Shen Xingwan, "It's already better, she must be happy to know that you are here." ”

Li Xi handed over the gift he brought to Shen Xingwan, and then went to see Shen Qingran.

Shen Xingwan said to Banxia, "Go and tell the old lady and the fourth uncle that the king of Fusang is here." ”

Li Xi probably stayed in Shen Qingran's courtyard for an hour, and then sat here and didn't leave.

Li Xi is very comfortable teasing the cat and appreciating the plum, and is in the mood to comment on her snacks here, which is delicious and which is average.

Shen Xingwan was annoyed by him, "You can go and say hello to the old lady first." ”

Shen Xingwan originally said it so casually, and this was the first time he came back after leaving the Shen family, and he should also visit the elders.

Li Xi changed his comfortable posture and leaned back in his chair, "Anyway, I'll see you at dinner in the evening." ”

Shen Xingwan put down the pair of cards in his hand when he heard this, and looked at him directly.

Li Xi touched his face and said narcissistically, "Do I have flowers on my face that make you look at it intently, or do you mean that you are fascinated by the beauty of this king." ”

Shen Xingwan said bluntly, "Something is wrong with you." ”

When he was in Jiangnan, no matter how unruly Li Xi was, he was still very obedient and well-behaved in front of the old lady.

The first thing that comes to mind is the old lady, and I often go to make the old lady happy.

I didn't even go to visit today...

No matter how you look at it, it's problematic.

Li Xi put away his joking look. His expression became serious, "What were you thinking when you took over the order from the head of the family?" ”

This question is really difficult to answer, Shen Xingwan tilted his head and thought for a while, "I am thinking, from now on I may embark on a road full of thorns." ”

In fact, it was destined from the moment she wore the book, so after the shock, she was quite calm about the owner of the house who ordered her to take it.

Li Xi chuckled, "The old lady's eyes are as vicious as ever. ”

He now understood why the old lady was late in picking Shen Xing.

Because she is full of courage at the same time, she also has stability and wisdom beyond her age.

Li Xi ravaged Fat Meow, his eyes glazed, "Then do you know that the Shen family is gradually walking towards a dangerous road." ”

As the holder of the family order, Shen Xingwan was certainly aware of it.

She smiled, "Has the Shen family been safe for so many years?" ”

The great power displayed by the ancient clan made the emperor feel uneasy.

Therefore, the Yan clan is escaping from the world, and the Shen clan is low-key and quiet, as if it does not exist.

Li Xi did not speak.

"Do you think Fuso isn't dangerous right now?" Shen Xingwan continued.

Li Xi said obscurely, "Thank you to the Shen family for this." ”

His relationship with the Shen family, it is difficult for the emperor not to taboo.

Fuso and he are losing the trust of the Son of Heaven, which is not a good sign.

Sure enough, he had an opinion on the Shen family.

Shen Xingwan sighed inaudibly, and said cruelly and bluntly, "But the Shen family has protected you for more than ten years, and the old lady and everyone's feelings for you are true or false, I believe you can tell the difference." ”

"Even in the process of your struggle for the position, the people of the Shen family will always be at the forefront."

Li Xi said coldly, "If I wasn't the son of King Fusang, would the Shen family still treat me like this?" ”

Shen Xingwan said categorically, "No if! ”

Li Xi laughed angrily at her, "You really can make me angry with one mouth." ”

Shen Xingwan spread his hands helplessly, "But I think that no matter what, the Shen family will do their best to protect you, because you have the blood of the Shen family." ”

This is a big family, with true feelings, sincerity and interests. If you want to maintain the continuation of a family, it is not good to be too rational or too emotional.

To grasp that degree, the knowledge in it is too great.

Li Xi's expression was a little annoyed and a little trance.

He has grown a lot in the year and has been forced to carry a heavy load.

He understands the truth, but when he looks back at the place that he once regarded as "home", it is impossible to be his home from now on, and it is difficult not to lose it.
