120. Chapter 120
It's snowing.
The goose feather-like snowflakes fell down and then slowly fell on the ground, forming thick snow.
Xie Lanyin stood at the door of the Marquis' Mansion with her four-year-old brother, watching the carriage over there getting closer and closer. Parrot was holding an umbrella for the two masters, and Jiang and Xie Lanqiao held together on the other side, with their eyes also thrilled.
"Mother-in-law!" Finally arrived at the door, Xue Jiu, dressed in black, dropped off his horse and knelt down at Jiang regardless of the snow on the ground. His voice was as loud as before, "Mother-in-law, Xue Jiu is unfilial, and now he is here with Lanting to see you!"
"Get up quickly, it's all a family, why are you rude?" Jiang helped his eldest son-in-law up with a smile, and carefully looked at it: "It seems to have grown taller again, and it looks stronger."
Xue Jiu laughed and said to his mother-in-law. He first called out to Xie Lanqiao to the second sister, and then suddenly realized that Xie Lanyin was also here. He took two steps forward exaggeratedly and tried to kneel down again, "The Empress is here too. I'm sorry, I didn't see you. I'll kneel down to pay my respects to you."
Although Jinbei couldn't remember his elder brother-in-law for a long time, he still giggled when he saw his funny look.
Xie Lanyin snorted and stared at Xue Jiu and said, "You are kneeling down, I am waiting!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take your elder sister!" Jiang didn't care whether her daughter was the queen or not, so she glared at her angrily.
Xie Lanyin went with a smile, and Jinbei followed her sister happily, and Xie Lanqiao held an umbrella for them.
Jiang took the opportunity to explain to his son-in-law: "After the 18th anniversary of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor will be particularly sure that Lan Yin stay at home for a while, and then welcome him into the palace from here." It's like going out in a sedan chair.
"He can coax people." Xue Jiu said sarcastically, but he still couldn't completely mind Xiao Yuan's original deception.
Jiang coughed, warned her to look at her eldest son-in-law intimately without hiding her face, and went to the car to pick up her eldest daughter.
The little maid lifted the car curtain, and Xie Lanting was still wearing a plain men's brocade robe, but there was an extra boy wrapped in a small cloak in his arms. The two-year-old boy had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and was wrapped in pink jade. He was simply a small Xie Lanting.
The little guy stared at the person outside the car, blinked his eyes, and suddenly grinned, as if he was very shy, and covered his face and turned to his mother's arms.
This is not like his mother...
Jiang and others were all stunned.
Xie Lanting had a hint of gentleness in Gu Jing Wubo's eyes, and he lowered his head and said, "Xiao'er, please pay tribute to his grandmother, aunt and uncle."
"No!" The boy was buried in his mother's arms, and said crisply, with a playful smile in his voice.
Jiang's mother couldn't help but laugh, but only Xie Lanting's face tense up and said coldly: "Go."
Xiao'er seemed to know that her mother was really angry, and immediately turned her eyes, and said to Jiang's wife: "Grandma!"
Boys can judge their age by themselves. Jiang's heart was almost melted. He immediately took his grandson over and kissed him several times in a row. She was so happy that her grandson looked like her eldest daughter, but fortunately she didn't have the same temper. Jiang always wanted to know what her husband would smile when he was a child, but now he can finally see some shadows in his grandson.
When Jinbei saw his mother hugging her little nephew, she felt a little delicious. Unexpectedly, she was suddenly picked up by someone, turned her head and met this person who was said to be his elder sister.
"Beijing Jin is called the eldest sister." Xie Lanyin coaxed her younger brother softly.
Jinbei looked at his sister and called out in a low voice.
Xie Lanting smiled, touched his younger brother's head and said, "I've grown taller in northern Jin Dynasty. Do you have any skills to learn kung fu?"
The whole family went to the warm room while chatting.
In the evening, Xie Hui came out of the palace and saw his lively and smiling grandson, and he rarely smiled happily. When it was time for dinner, the whole family went to Xie Ding for a reunion dinner. Chen had been locked up for a long time. Of course, there was no such occasion, only Xie Ding and the three families of the Xie family, as well as Xie Yao and her mother and daughter.
As Xiao Yuan ascended the throne, Xie Lanyin was the queen. The one who used to dislike the big house family was now more honest than the other. The second wife dared not make trouble. Xie Yao even closed her mouth and did not dare to sarcastically say a word. Only Fang Ling, who was about to be twelve years old after the New Year, has recently been a little cursing about Xie Lanyin.
But Xie Lanyin has seen through Fang Ling's character in the past few years. Xie Yao is arrogant and Fang Ling is very good at judging the situation. She used to think that the second wife and the Shen family had become in-laws, so she was determined to please the other side. Now that the Shen family was exiled, Fang Ling turned her eyes to her. In response, Xie Lanyin only ordered the maids around her not to let Fang Ling enter. She didn't have much time at home and did not want to waste her energy and betray a relative who had no feelings.
At the banquet, the eldest and third rooms were smiling and laughing, while the second rooms were particularly deserted.
The second lady stared at Xie Lanyin diagonally opposite. Although she would rather die than beg for the daughter of Jiang, she had disdained her daughter Xie Lanwei, the second lady hesitated for a while, and finally walked towards Xie Lanyin before the dispersal, knelt down and kowtowed to her, "Lanyin, Empress, I beg you, please help your third sister! How can your third sister be spoiled in the bitter and cold place in Liaodong? Please talk about love in front of the emperor, can you let her and Li come back!"
Looking at the woman kneeling in front of her hair, Xie Lanyin sighed, "Second Aunt, get up, I begged the Emperor, he said that he would not cure you and the Second Uncle, it is a shame for our Xie family. I will ask again. The Emperor is bored and I am afraid that even I am not happy, so Shu Lanyin can't help when he takes the third sister back."
After saying that, he glanced at Xie Ding and left without looking back.
Of course, she had never asked for love for Xie Lanwei. For such a cousin who once enjoyed her marrying miserably, Xie Lanyin would not be so vicious that she would take the blame, but she was not so stupid that she would repay her kindness and interfere with Xiao Yuan's revenge against the Shen family for her sake.
The second wife wanted to catch up, but Xie Ding stopped her in a deep voice.
~
It was completely dark, and Xie Lanyin lay on the bed in front of her before leaving home, feeling a little cold for some reason.
She couldn't help but tighten the quilt. Looking back on this time, it was like a dream. Since Xiao Yuan entered the palace to ascend the throne to deal with political affairs, she hadn't seen him for more than a month.
Xie Lanyin missed him, and was more satisfied when he was with his family, and he missed him more when he was alone.
What is he doing now?
I just gotten to the position and must be very busy, so I don’t have time to see her.
I turned over in disappointment and suddenly heard the familiar knocking on the window.
Xie Lanyin was stunned. The next moment, regardless of the cold weather, she lifted the quilt and picked up her embroidered shoes, and ran towards the window.
When I opened the window, the cold wind whistled in and blew a tall and big man in.
"It's here!" He didn't dislike the coldness on his body, and Xie Lanyin rushed into his arms.
Xiao Yuan was cold. It was cold outside. He was afraid that he would freeze her. He quickly closed the window, picked up his thin wife and strode towards the bed, first stuffed her into the bed, then quickly pulled off his outer robe and threw it on the ground, and couldn't wait to get in with trembling.
"I missed me so much." Xiao Yuan hugged her tightly, lowered his head and was about to drill into her neck.
Xie Lanyin was trembling with his ice, but he was willing to do so.
Xiao Yuan found that she was cold, so he stopped for a while, put his hands into his underwear, and asked her while warming her, "Do you miss me? Are you happy?"
Xie Lanyin lay on him, holding his cold face to warm him, and deliberately smiled: "Yes, my elder sister is back. You don't know how cute Xiao'er is, and the little guy is very beautiful. When he grows up in the future, he will definitely be as handsome as my elder sister."
Xiao Yuan praised others like this and whispered: "Our son must be more beautiful and cute than him."
Xie Lanyin was already envious of her elder sister's child. When she heard this, she sighed and leaned on his chest and said, "Our son is still alive..."
"It's there tonight." Xiao Yuan turned over and pressed her down and kissed her anxiously, "Lan Yin, let's have a son tonight. I'll do it a few more times. Be more angry and get pregnant early..."
It was like drunk, and it was repeated constantly.
But that happened to be what Xie Lanyin wanted, whether it was her son or daughter.
A small separation is better than a newlywed. The couple is entangled with each other like a vine. The bed, which was already a little cold, soon became hot again.
In a small house with two entry in the west of the city, Shen Yingshi stood alone in front of the window, silently watching the snowflakes falling. A light was lit in the room. The lights were dim, making the snow outside the window have a unique bleak and lonely beauty.
The evening breeze blew in from time to time, but Shen Yingshi couldn't feel the cold.
It seems that his people are cold.
My father died, and my adoptive mother was sent to the frontier, and my biological mother was in the capital. It was impossible not to miss her, but she didn't want to recognize her.
He doesn't want to be pity, and he doesn't want to rely on his mother to enjoy wealth and glory.
These were all expected, but Shen Yingshi didn't expect them, and he suddenly didn't want to wait for Lanqiao anymore.
She didn't dislike him, and the Xie family didn't dislike him. She asked him to wait in the capital and marry Lanqiao next year, but she really became a relative. What can he give her with nothing? Will she slowly not be able to bear it, and will she regret it?
Shen Yingshi dared not bear it, and could not imagine the regretful expression on her face.
Close the window, Shen Yingshi walked to the closet and packed his bags silently.
It was said that it was a cleanup, but in fact it was only a few clothes. The only valuable thing was the Qilin jade pendant left to him by the man.
Now she has Xiao Yuan and her younger brother who have been separated for many years. It can be considered a family reunion, right?
After taking a last look at the Qilin Jade Pendant, Shen Yingshi put it in his arms and decided to put it in front of Yan's house later.
In fact, he had recognized her for a long time, otherwise he would not have expected her to recognize herself every year, but if he wanted to or didn't, he was the son of the Shen family, and the blood of the Yan family's enemies was bleeding from his bones.
After packing up, Shen Yingshi walked to the table and grind the ink and wrote a letter.
I just wrote a word and suddenly there was a knock on the door in the yard, which was suddenly clear on the quiet snowy night.
Shen Yingshi frowned and looked at the window.
After the knock on the door paused slightly, it sounded three more times, and it was indeed coming to find him.
Who will it be?
Shen Yingshi quickly put away the letter paper, thought about it, put the bag into the wardrobe, and then took the lantern and walked out.
The boots stomped in the snow, creaking, and the snowflakes whirled in the light and danced with the wind.
