[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

Xi Wanxiang, who was still in a daze just now, sat up straight when she heard this. After staying in Xi's ancestral house for half a year, she completely forgot about her parents in Jinmen Town.Although my parents and I have only been in love for a few days in this life, they are still connected by blood, and my father is very stubborn, so it may not be easy for Wanxiang to stay here for so long.If the parents insist on taking her back to Jinmen Town, then even the old lady will come forward to persuade her to stay, and it will be of little use.

Thinking about it, Wan Xiang couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

Seemingly understanding what Wan Xiang was worried about, Yin Tang stretched out his hand to help Wan Xiang smooth her messy bangs, but as soon as she let go, her bangs returned to their original positions.Yin Chan got up and replied casually: "Understood, but the second lady is ill today, let them wait patiently at Xi's house for two days." Then, he took a short hair rope from the dressing room, and twisted it late. Fragrant circle of bangs, tied back into a limp little braid, like the small handle on top of an apple, up and down.

At this time, no matter how interesting the little pigtail was, it couldn't save Wan Xiang's mood, and she flinched back under the quilt weakly.

Yin Tang tucked the quilt up for her, and said softly, "Sleep at ease, and you'll be all right tomorrow."

Wan Xiang didn't want her to be healed overnight, if she got better tomorrow, she would probably be taken back to Jinmen Town.It's just that Wanxiang still didn't say such angry words.She thought for a while, and said to her sister-in-law Qing's back: "Sister-in-law, if Wan Xiang returns home, she doesn't know when she will be back."

Yin Chan tilted his head and said inadvertently: "There is always a banquet in the world. It is natural to meet each other in life. Anyway, you are also the second lady of our Xi family. Whenever you want to come back, you will come back."

Seeing her cousin's indifferent appearance, Wan Xiang's heart was at a loss, her dizzy mind became more and more like a paste.That's right, she is the second young lady, and besides, grandma loves her very much, and she can come back whenever she wants.It's just that she couldn't bear the thought of parting, the first long-term parting in the past six months.

After all, this is ancient times, an ancient time without any electronic communication tools, trains, cars, or even small electric donkeys.In a short distance of fifty miles, it takes two days to travel by bullock cart, and five days to pass letters, and the good-smelling breath of my cousin's sister-in-law will never travel that far.

Xu Shi was so burned that he had always felt that he could not breathe for Xi Wanxiang, who was indifferent to others.The sister-in-law was still by her side, and Jinlian was still serving her, Xi Wanxiang buried her whole face in the quilt, and let useless tears flow out for no reason, soaking it all up.

Whenever she went to bed early, Wan Xiang would wake up in the middle of the night.Her mind was much clearer than before, she touched her side, it was empty.He carefully poked his head out of the quilt and rubbed his swollen eyes.

The sister-in-law was sitting alone in the dark and quiet, the thin window in front of her was opened a crack, maybe she was afraid of the cold wind blowing in, so she deliberately sat far away from the bed, and even used her body to block the wind, her thin body The back is slightly bent, and two small bead pendants can clearly be seen hanging from the earlobe, quietly falling on both sides of the slender neck.

Wan Xiang hugged the warm plush blanket, got up from the bed, sat next to his sister-in-law, and with difficulty divided half of the blanket in her arms to the sister-in-law, covering their legs.

Yin Chan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did my sister-in-law disturb you?"

Wan Xiang shook her head.

Yin Tang put his hand on Wan Xiang's forehead, and frowned involuntarily: "Why is it still so hot, you go back and lie down."

Wan Xiang hurriedly took Tang sister-in-law's cold hand off her head and held it in her own: "It's Tang sister-in-law, your hands are too cold, okay. I'm fine now, my head is not dizzy, and I can still turn around."

Yin Chan couldn't help smiling: "Okay, then turn around ten times and show me."

ah?Wan Xiang was a little distressed, hesitated for a moment and said, "Cousin, you can't take jokes seriously."

The sister-in-law adjusted the collar for her, and wrapped a thick cashmere scarf around Wan Xiang's shiny neck, and said seriously: "You, you like to talk nonsense when you are happy. After returning home, Don't be as unrestrained as you are in front of your cousin. I heard that your father is a serious person, so you have to think carefully about everything. Besides, when you go out, you must think about your words and deeds. Don't make it unnecessary because you are in the country rules of etiquette.”

Looking at Wan Xiang's wet pupils, Yin Chan was suddenly absent-minded, and then laughed dumbfounded.That was Wanxiang's own home, her parents who had been with her since she was a child, why should she worry about it?It was just a short parting, and now it was late at night, and I started to feel sad for no reason.Thinking, she stroked Wan Xiang's soft and smooth hair, turned her head with a smile, and looked out of the white window.

"It's snowing again." Wanxiang followed her cousin's gaze.

The luxuriant plants and trees outside the window are covered with delicate snow clothes, which look flawless and quiet under the bright moonlight.

"It's so quiet. Tell me, it would be great if there were some fireflies lingering among the silver jewels and jade. Why are there no fireflies in winter?" The sister-in-law murmured to herself, holding her fragrant cheeks and narrowing her eyes slightly.

firefly?Isn't that an insect that only exists in the mountains, forests and fields in summer?At this time, the cold wind is blowing, and they must have already died. Where can I find the traces of fireflies.Wan Xiang also imitated holding her chin, but she tilted her head to look at her sister-in-law.

It turned out that the cousin sister-in-law, who was always calm and indifferent, also had such childish moments.After staying in this eight-year-old girl's body for a long time, Xi Wanxiang seems to have gotten used to seeing her cousin from this perspective, but completely forgot that her cousin is only young.

Sensing Wan Xiang's gaze, Yin Tang withdrew his hands, got up and closed the window, and said to Wan Xiang with a smile, "Come on, let's go to bed."

Stepping on the cool floor with her bare feet, holding her cousin's soft and boneless hand, Wan Xiang also felt a little nervous.If I could just hold her hand like this, from the new leaves in spring to hibernation, from such immature to the new bloom, it seems to be a very good thing to think about it.

The one who was entrusted by Jinmen Town to come to Juxi Wanxiang was Zhang's mother who sent her here back then.

Wan Xiang called "Mother Zhang" sweetly, but she still refused to go to her side.Mother Zhang also felt a little weird, although the former lady was not clingy, but she had brought Wanxiang for several years, she should be closer than the people in the Xi family's ancestral house, besides, she is a newly married young lady.Zhang's mother couldn't help but take a look at this young lady who was as clear as Wanyu.

"Mother Zhang, Wan Xiang had a fever yesterday. Although the child is recovering quickly, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand the cold right now. If you take the bullock cart back rashly and get caught in the cold wind on the way, you will be at the root of the disease if you are not careful. , it will be troublesome in the future." Mrs. Xi coughed faintly and waved to Wanxiang.

Wan Xiang hurriedly ran a few steps, stroking the old lady's bony back obediently.At this moment, the words of the old lady are very useful.

"Miss's health is indeed not very good, and the servant is also worried all the way. It's just... Originally, Mr. Xi also wanted the lady to spend a new year in the ancestral house. After all, I haven't been protected by the old lady since I was a child. It’s rare for my wife to like Miss. But, Madam really misses Miss very much, and when she thinks that Miss won’t be able to reunite with her during Chinese New Year, her tears flow like a river. The master has lost his way, and it’s not easy to come in person... Cough,” Zhang said. Mother consciously made a slip of the tongue and quickly cleared her throat to cover up her embarrassment, "The master loves Madam, and he is afraid that if Madam continues to cry like this, she will break down from crying, so he asks the servants to come and pick up Miss. It is possible to come again.”

The old lady Xi was as careful as a hair, and snorted: "If he has the ability, he will come in person. When the family was separated back then, he was decisive and vowed never to return to the ancestral house. Now, I have to let him come in person. Then I gave Wanxiang girl back to him." As she said that, Mrs. Xi stretched out her hand to hold Wanxiang in her arms, and glanced sideways at Zhang's mother who was at a loss.

"This... But if the servants come back and forth again, the year will not be over. Old lady, don't be difficult for the servants, Madam really misses the young lady. A thin person who has not thought about eating and drinking this month is about to take off. It's out of shape..." Zhang's mother said anxiously.

Hearing this, Xi Wanxiang's breathing couldn't help but tighten.In the final analysis, it is my own mother. A few days before I first came to this world, I had a vague impression that my mother was very good to me. There were rarely meat dishes in the house. My mother insisted that I didn’t like meat, but I really didn’t know the whole story. Move a chopstick and leave it to Wan Xiang to eat.Thinking of her mother's premature white hair and the wrinkles around her eyes when she smiled because she had worked hard with her father for so many years, Wan Xiang couldn't help being shaken.

Forget it, at worst, come back after the new year.

Seeing Wan Xiang's thoughts in Wan Xiang's eyes, Old Madam Xi smiled lovingly, and said to Zhang Mama: "Since there is such an urgent need, then in the afternoon, I will help you arrange carriages in the town and go faster. And bring a stove to warm the car. Remember, let the little bastard in Yuan Nian send me Wan Xiang after the Chinese New Year, and she will have to study in Kai Ning Academy for a few years Books are what make it, and that nerdy father will teach him himself, so I don't worry about it."

Mother Zhang nodded gratefully as if she had been granted an amnesty, and rubbed her hands on the whitish apron again and again.Looking at Miss Wanxiang, who was a little poor and reserved in the past, now with her hair neatly combed in a bun, and dressed brightly and delicately, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Xi's order was sent to the post station in the town. The owner of the post station had received benefits from the Xi family, so naturally he prepared the carriage without saying a word.The old lady Xi knew that Wanxiang had nothing to eat in Jinmen Town, so she stuffed a lot of New Year's goods into the small carriage until the two of them could barely sit down, and then reluctantly let the young man stop.

When it was time to leave, Wan Xiang opened the curtains, and the cold air poured into her nose. She was holding the sachet given to her by her cousin sister-in-law. It was as smooth as satin, as if she was holding her cold hand. It is installed with the hairpin lowercase script copied by the cousin.

Didn't the cousin sister-in-law come to see herself off?Wan Xiang silently looked at the end of the road, the snow that had been swept all night had been swept to both sides of the road, two snowmen, one large and one small at the intersection, stood holding hands, grinning happily with mouths made of carrot slices.Even Qingse, who didn't like to laugh, came to see her off—although she still had an indifferent expression, her cousin didn't come.

Xi Wanxiang couldn't help but asked the old lady. The old lady Xi frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I haven't seen her since this morning. She said she was looking for something." What are you looking for?It took so long.

Wan Xiang felt sorry for making her grandmother and her party wait for a long time in the cold wind.The coachman began to urge him, if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to go far today.

Xi Wanxiang and Xi's family waved, reluctantly put down the curtain.

Taimen Town, surrounded by the silver dragon-like Yangming Mountain, was getting farther and farther away, but the person she wanted to see never appeared at the end of the avenue.Wan Xiang just wanted to hug her cousin again, hold her hand like those two big and small snowmen who were smiling happily, and say "Happy New Year".
