The seventeenth year of Zhaowu of the Great Zhou Dynasty

"Eldest sister, are you going to enjoy the lanterns tonight?" Shen Chen jumped and jumped from outside and ran into his sister Shen Xing's house.

"Little sister, if you are jumping and jumping like this, beware of the day when my mother comes back, I promise to clean you up." In the house, Shen Xing couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly when he saw his lively sister coming in.

A pair of twins, their faces are very imaginary, but in terms of temperament, they are already far from each other. When he was a child, Shen Xing was able to be quieter than Shen Chen, but at that time, his father was used to them, so the two girls were really naughty.

Later, they were managed by their mother, and the two of them were somewhat restrained. Over the years, the two of them have grown older, and their interests and hobbies are also a little different, and slowly, this temperament has changed. Shen Xing is now gentle and quiet, elegant and noble in every move, and she is a typical example of a famous lady.

Shen Chen, on the other hand, is still lively and jumpy, with a smile on his face that does not know sorrow, innocent, and makes people feel good when they see it.

As soon as he heard his sister say about his mother, Shen Chen pouted, and said with some grievances, "Eldest sister, don't you mention our mother?" It's been almost four years since my father and mother went out, and they didn't send a letter back, they didn't know how to be at ease outside, and they were so envious of the dead. I don't know, when will my father and mother come back, I miss them. ”

Shen Hongjun and Yun Xue left the capital in February of the thirteenth year of Zhaowu, and went to play everywhere, but until now, there is no news. Everyone in the family was a little anxious, but there was nowhere to find them, so they could only wait at home.

"You, your father and mother are outside, you don't say you're worried, but envy them. Alas, what a heartless one. Shen Xing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he heard his sister say this.

Shen Chen stepped forward and put his arm around his sister, "Eldest sister, don't talk about this, can there be anything else with my father's ability?" Hurry up, hurry up and pack up, let's go see the lanterns at night. I heard that this year's uncle-in-law made an unprecedented amount of money and set up a colorful building on Chang'an Avenue to enjoy the lanterns with the people of the capital. This year's Lantern Festival must be very lively, and there is no place to park the carriage if it is late. ”

Emperor Zhaowu has reigned for more than ten years and has always refused to be too extravagant. In recent years, the Great Sunday has become stronger, the treasury is full, and the envoys of various countries have come to celebrate the years ago, so Emperor Zhaowu agreed, and this year's Lantern Festival will be celebrated. Chang'an Avenue has already begun to prepare, and the officials and nobles of all families in the capital have also done their best to participate in the grand event. Therefore, this year's lantern festival must be very lively.

Shen Xing naturally wanted to go too, and when he saw his sister urging him like this, he smiled, "Okay, you can go back and pack up too, and we'll leave later." ”

At the beginning of the unitary period, the Yasukuni Mansion and his entourage packed up and set off from home. Shen Xin and Feng Qing, Shen Yu and Wuyun, Shen Han and Lingxuan, three couples, each sat in the carriage with their own children, Shen Xing and Shen Chen sat in a carriage together, and everyone walked towards Chang'an Street, the colorful shed set up in advance by the Yasukuni Mansion.

Shen Chen was not a peaceful person, sitting in the car, opening the curtain from time to time to look out. I saw an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going outside, all with smiles on their faces, catching up with the peaceful years, the people's lives were very rich, and everyone's faces were with a satisfied smile.

"Sister, look at those people outside, how happy they are laughing." Shen Chen pointed outside.

Shen Xing smiled, "Yes, my uncle-in-law is a virtuous monarch, my Great Zhou country is prosperous, and the people have abundant food and clothing." It's such a festive day again, and of course the big guys will be happy. Shen Xing also opened the curtain just now to look, naturally noticing the joy of the pedestrians outside.

The carriage moved further and slower because too many people were gathering towards Chang'an Avenue. When Shen Xin saw this, he had to tell the coachman to stop the carriage and everyone walked forward. "Everyone, pay attention, don't get separated, there are too many people today, in case you get separated, it's not a joke." Shen Xin admonished.

The guards of the Guogong Mansion followed closely around Shen Xin and the others, guarding the safety. It was not easy for everyone to come to the color shed that they had set up. Shen Fang was already waiting here, and when everyone met, they inevitably complained, "Oh my God, there are too many people, right?" We managed to squeeze in with a hard time. Shen Chen muttered.

When Shen Fang saw his little sister, he couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, "It's still early for you to come out, if it's a little late, you won't be able to come in at all." Let's go, come with me to sit in the shed, my side is spacious. "The Zhenguo Mansion also sent someone to set up a colorful shed in advance, and it was next to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and it happened that several families got together, but it was also lively.

Today, everyone is here, Shen Fang took his younger brothers and sisters to visit them from house to house, who called them juniors? Uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts over there are all here, how can they be done?

Everyone walked around, and finally came to the Jiang family's color shed. Jiang Chengtao is now a serious household book, and he has also entered the cabinet to become the first assistant, so the Jiang family's color shed is also very gorgeous.

When everyone went in, they happened to see Mingzhu with the children of the Jiang family and his daughter-in-law inside. Jiang Chengtao and Mingzhu have a total of three sons and two daughters, the eldest Jiang Songxi and the second Jiang Zhuxi have already married, and now they have their own children, and they live a warm and beautiful life.

The third child, Jiang Lanxi, was hailed as a prodigy by the people of Beijing that year, and in the fourteenth year of Zhaowu, he was hit by Tanhua. After that, Jiang Lanxi didn't want to stay in the capital, so he invited himself to go out of Beijing to experience. Emperor Zhaowu asked Jiang Lanxi to go out to become a magistrate, and this year it was just the end of the three-year period, and he returned to Beijing to report on his work.

The sons of the Jiang family are very outstanding in appearance. Especially Jiang Lanxi, who is even more personable and extraordinary, was originally known as the double master of the capital with Shen Han. At this time, he stood beside his mother and greeted everyone in the Shen family one by one.

"Third child, this is the twin daughters of your Aunt Yunxue's family, Shen Xing and Shen Chen, when you left Beijing, these two were still yellow-haired girls." Mingzhu introduced her son.

The Jiang family and the Shen family are also close friends, the children of the two families have dealings, and Jiang Lanxi certainly knows the power of the pair of little witches of the Shen family. When the two sisters just came back from the Northeast, there were a lot of smugglers in Beijing, and they were all repaired by the two of them. I haven't seen each other for three years, and I don't know what these two people look like now.

Jiang Lanxi thought so in her heart, so she followed the direction pointed by her mother and looked carefully. On the opposite side is obviously a pair of girls with very similar appearances, but their temperaments are completely different, one is as bright as the moon and the other is as bright as the rising sun. Jiang Lanxi didn't know why, when she saw the girl who was as gentle and soft as the bright moon, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

There was no need to ask at all, Jiang Lanxi intuitively knew that it must be Shen Xing. I really didn't expect it, they all said that the eighteen changes of the female university, and they really responded to this sentence. The girl who was still a little naughty at the beginning turned out to be so demure and gentle. Jiang Lanxi was shocked, her eyes kept staring at Shen Xing, and she couldn't move away anymore.

And here, when Shen Xing heard that it was the third brother of the Jiang family, he also looked up at Jiang Lanxi. I haven't seen it for three years, and the teenager who was still a little immature back then has calmed down a lot. is still outstanding, still gentle and modest, but there is more depth and heaviness that people can't see.

And Jiang Lanxi's slightly obsessive gaze also made Shen Xing's heart jump suddenly, "Third Brother Jiang, after three years, is the third brother okay outside?" After all, Shen Xing is not one of those childish girls, although her heart was beating a little faster because of Jiang Lanxi's gaze, but her face did not show anything, and she greeted her generously.

When I went to Jiang's house to pay New Year's greetings after the year, Jiang Lanxi happened to be dragged away by some friends, so this time it was the first time the two met after three years. Jiang Lanxi saw Shen Xing like this, so he hurriedly replied, "Fortunately, although it is hard outside, it has gained a lot of knowledge. Is everything okay with Sister Xing'er? For a moment, Jiang Lanxi had an impulse, just wanted to ask the person in front of him, did he promise a family affair? finally held back the words that almost blurted out, and Jiang Lanxi was also taken aback by his thoughts.

Shen Xing nodded, "Shen Xing is at home, with his brother and sister-in-law taking care of him, naturally everything is fine." ”

Shen Chen was a ghost spirit, and at this time, she faintly sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong. Shen Chen looked at Jiang Lanxi, wrinkled his nose and said, "Third Brother Jiang, why did you only greet my sister?" What about me? Didn't you see me? ”

Jiang Lanxi was asked by Shen Chen, and her face flushed faintly, "Sister Chen'er, I haven't had time to say hello to my sister yet, sister is not strange." Just now, he really ignored Shen Chen. It's also strange, they are obviously two people who are similar, why is there only Shen Xing in his eyes?

Everyone talked for a while, and then someone said that the lantern festival outside was about to start, and the Shen family hurriedly returned to their own color shed.

Looking at the back of Shen Xing's departure, Jiang Lanxi suddenly felt that his heart seemed to be empty and a little uncomfortable. After that, Jiang Lanxi was a little absent-minded, and even when his mother and brother talked to him, they all answered the wrong questions, and made a lot of jokes.

Jiang Songxi's daughter-in-law, An Shi, leaned on her mother-in-law's ear and whispered, "Mother, don't you see if the third brother is a little wrong tonight." I don't know what's wrong with how I look at him in a trance. ”

Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, of course Mingzhu also noticed her son's strange appearance, and after thinking about what happened just now, Mingzhu probably understood a little, "It's okay, don't worry, the third child is Hongluanxing." ”

An Shi listened to his mother-in-law's words, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Hongluan Star Move? Mother, you're not joking, are you? ”
