Since that day after Mrs. Gu left, Mrs. Qi has been sick, at first Qi Tanying thought that her mother had a cold, but after the doctor diagnosed her, she said that it was caused by heart disease.

What did Second Mrs. Gu tell her? It's not that Qi Tanying didn't ask, but Mrs. Qi never mentioned it.

Fortunately, as the New Year approached, Mrs. Qi's body improved and her spirit improved a lot. Seeing her mother's health improve, Qi Tanying was finally relieved.

Winter in Kyoto is colder than in Wushu, and the flavor of the New Year is stronger than in Wushu. At the beginning of the new year, whether it is a high-ranking official or a small person, they have forgotten the cold and trivial troubles of winter, and enjoy the excitement of the new year in the sound of firecrackers to remove the old and welcome the new.

In previous years, in the old house in Wuzhou, Mrs. Qi's mother and son all followed the clan to celebrate the New Year.

This year is different from the past, Mrs. Qi had an illness a few years ago and couldn't stay up late, Qi Tanying and Qi Yukun sisters and brothers symbolically stayed for a while and went to sleep.

As soon as Qi Tanying returned to the room and lay down, she heard a knocking sound outside the window, three long and one short. Tinglan pushed open the window and looked, it was dark outside the window, and there was nothing.

"It's weird." She muttered a few words, then closed the window.

Qi Tanying glanced at Ting Lan, "I don't need you to keep vigil tonight, go back to your room and sleep." ”

Tinglan refused.

Qi Tanying frowned: "What, you don't even listen to me?" ”

As soon as Ting Lan was about to speak, she heard Qi Tanying say, "It's only one time today." ”

Seeing that her girl had made up her mind, Tinglan stopped insisting on it. After Tinglan left, the sound of three long and one short percussion sounded again, Qi Tanying walked slowly to the window, lowered her voice and asked, "Is it you?" ”

"It's me."

A familiar voice came, Qi Tanying's heart suddenly pounded wildly, and the night was heavy, what was he doing at Qi's house?

At this time, the person outside said again: "Ah Tan, let me in, it's too cold outside." ”

Qi Tanying hesitated, but still opened the window.

Seeing this, Yan Li climbed into the house with one hand on the window frame, the cold on his body was instantly wrapped in the warmth of the house, and the blood in his whole body also thawed.

Tea was still warm on the stove outside, Qi Tanying poured a cup of hot tea for him, Yan Li held the teacup and drank it all, "It's so warm." ”

Qi Tanying stared at him without blinking, "At this time, you should accompany your aunt to keep the New Year." ”

Yan Li smiled when he heard this, "Our family doesn't have that rule, my mother is not in good health, so she went to bed early." ”

In previous years, he drank with a few brothers and friends, but this year, halfway through the drink, he suddenly remembered that he had a fiancée, and he thought that this time was different from the past, and he should accompany her to welcome the New Year.

Hearing him tell the reason, Qi Tanying took a closer look, and sure enough, she smelled a faint smell of wine.

She was just about to speak, when she raised her eyes, she saw Yan Li's burning eyes staring at her, she quickly turned her face away, but she was a little panicked in her heart.

At this time, Yan Li got up and walked towards her, Qi Tanying's heart beat like a drum, and she scolded lightly, "Sit back." ”

Yan Li stopped, "Ah Tan, I..."

Qi Tanying took this opportunity to move to the side of the bed and distanced herself from him, "Lord Yan, please respect yourself." ”

This sentence cleared Yan Li's drowsy mind a lot, and he smiled at her, "Don't be afraid, I won't come." Slowly retreat to the table and sit down.

Qi Tanying wanted to say that she wasn't afraid of him, but they hadn't gotten married yet, and it was already incompatible for her to let him in, and at this time, she should keep a certain distance from him.

After a few months of getting along, she also got to know him a lot. Although he can't be called a gentleman, he is definitely not Meng Lang's person. She understood that he just wanted to be close to her, but she couldn't let him do whatever he wanted.

When the affection is sweet, the etiquette is ignored, and if the old accounts are turned up after the affection fades, how can the face be saved?

Of course, this is just her worst conjecture. Combined with Yan Li's personality, she is more willing to believe that he will not do anything to hurt herself.

Yan Li didn't know that his fiancée had thought so much, "Ah Tan, I just want to accompany you to celebrate the New Year." ”

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he was still like a hairy boy when he was old, and when he left the tavern, he had only one thought in his heart, that is, he must see her soon.

After climbing over the wall, she went straight to the outside of her room, and the code was still the one they used when they went to Wuzhou, but fortunately she still remembered.

The candlelight is hazy, and the beauty under the lamp is charming and moving, and it is provocative.

Yan Li felt that he was a little drunk, and couldn't help but praise: "Ah Tan, you are so good-looking!" ”

Qi Tanying was amused by him, he had always been calm, self-controlled and resolute in her eyes, and today's stupid appearance really made people laugh.

She poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Let's go home when we drink it." ”

Yan Li looked up at her, and held her hand when he took the teacup, and the delicate and silky touch made his heart flutter. Qi Tanying subconsciously wanted to break away, but he couldn't match his strength.

"Let it go."

"Don't let go."

"You..."

The two were in a stalemate, and suddenly there was a sound of pushing the door outside, Qi Tanying hurriedly retracted her hand, and in a panic pushed Yan Li behind the screen to hide.

"Hey, what's wrong with the girl?" The person who came was Tinglan, and after she returned to the house, she was worried that no one would keep vigil and her girl would not sleep well, so she quietly came over to have a look.

Qi Tanying raised her teacup at her, pretending to be casual, and said, "I'm a little thirsty." ”

Tinglan had no doubt about him.

Qi Tanying was afraid that Ting Lan would find Yan Li hiding behind the screen, so she urged Ting Lan to hurry back to the house to sleep. Ting Lan said, "Girl, the slave maid should stay with you." ”

Qi Tanying immediately said, "No." ”

Well, seeing that her girl really didn't need to keep vigil by herself, Tinglan had no choice but to retreat.

After Tinglan left, Qi Tanying breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Li walked out from behind the screen and suddenly said, "After we get married, don't keep vigil at night." ”

Qi Tanying's face was hot when she heard this, and she glared at him, "What nonsense." ”

What Yan Li thought in his heart was that if the maid stayed in the house, the husband and wife would not even be able to talk privately.

At this moment, he made up his mind, no matter what rules were in other people's homes, anyway, after he and Ah Tan got married, he would never leave a maid to keep vigil.

This night, Yan Li stayed in Qi Tanying's boudoir until the second watch before leaving, in fact, he wanted to stay for a while, but Qi Tanying really couldn't hold on, there was no way, he could only leave.

After he left, Qi Tanying slept until almost noon and got up, fortunately, there were only three masters in the Qi family, and it was cold, and Mrs. Qi felt sorry for her children, so she was exempted from their greetings. At lunchtime, the mother and son get together.

After finishing lunch, Mrs. Qi gave Qi Tanying and Qi Yukun a red envelope as New Year's money. The sisters and brothers widened their eyes after opening it, their mother was really generous, and she actually gave them a shop for each person.

The red envelope contained the title deed documents of the shop. Qi Yukun is a shop specializing in pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Qi Tanying's is a ready-to-wear shop.

This red envelope is really generous.

At this time, Qi Tanying didn't know that this New Year, in addition to Mrs. Qi's gifts, there were also generous gifts waiting for her!
