The disadvantage of marrying close to each other is that nothing can be done according to the rules.
According to the rules, he would come back after three days, but Qiao Yin couldn't wait at all, so he sneaked back for breakfast the next day.
When he came back, he brought back a basket of meat buns made by Qiao's father. Qin Baishuang hurriedly asked Butler Xie to deliver some Huaizhou snacks.
At noon, the Qiao family sent another half roasted lamb, and the Xie family returned two kilograms of fresh river shrimp.
There are always two dishes on the table, with both northern and southern flavors, and everything is complete.
The two families were discussing whether to celebrate the New Year together. On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, news came from the palace that a banquet would be held in the palace on New Year's Eve. The monarch and his ministers would enjoy the New Year together. The Jingan Marquis Mansion and the Xie family were all invited.
In this way, it saves the family trouble.
In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve—
Qiao Yin was still in the warm quilt. Xie Yuan kissed her ear from behind. The person in her arms rubbed against her and shrank into the quilt.
"Ayin, it's snowing."
"Xie Yu'an, can I sleep a little longer?"
The Xie family doesn't pay attention to morning and evening. When it's cold in winter, they can even eat their own meals in each room in each courtyard.
I heard that this rule was specially changed by Xie Yuan's father after he became the head of the family.
In the words of the head of the Xie family, the unity of a family does not lie in these polite things. Each family lives its own life. Small harmony is great unity.
But later I heard Uncle Liang say that this rule was purely due to the fact that there were too many mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law, and sisters-in-law in the clan, and they came to see the head of the house and his wife every day. Qin Baishuang was tired of socializing, so the head of the family Xie canceled it with a wave of his hand.
Seeing the person in his arms sleeping soundly, Xie Yuan couldn't bear to ask her to get up early.
"Go to sleep."
Xie Yuan got up, tucked her in, washed up, and went to see Xie Yanxing.
Xie Yanxing handed two scriptures and two medical books to Xie Yu'an and asked him to send them to Uncle Xie and Master Liao Wu.
On New Year's Eve, it is customary to give New Year's gifts to the two uncles.
Xie Yu'an had breakfast, and while the snow on the road was not thick, he rode to Uncle Xie's house first and presented Xie Yanxing's ancient medical books and some rare medicinal materials that he had found himself.
Uncle Xie liked it very much and mysteriously took out a blue and white medicine bottle.
"This is a gift for you. It can be used by both men and women. It is very safe. Don't worry about using it. You are not young anymore. My uncle will help you have a son soon."
Uncle Xie gave him a look that said, "I wouldn't give it to ordinary people." He told him not to spread the word.
Xie Yu'an smiled, said thank you, and put it in his sleeve without thinking too much.
He and Qiao Yin had just gotten married. As for the child, let it take its course. It didn't matter if it was two years late.
Uncle Xie took out another bag of bottles and cans: "Give it to Xie Zhenzhen."
Xie Yu'an accepted it and rode out of the city to Xiangguo Temple.
Xie Yu'an handed the scriptures and Uncle Xie's medicine to Master Wu. Master Wu accepted them and smiled at Xie Yu'an: "Is there anything else?"
Xie Yu'an also smiled, "I can't hide anything from my uncle. I'm here to fulfill my wish."
The obsession and greed I had a year ago have now been realized, so I came to fulfill my wish.
Master Liowu said with a smile: "Please return this wish to your wife."
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment. Some clues were floating in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the key point at once.
"Please ask my uncle for some advice." Xie Yu'an asked for advice.
Master Liowu said again: "There will definitely be a battle between Dazhou and Xirong, but it is a year late, and the victory or defeat is completely different."
Xie Yuan quickly thought of the bizarre retreat in Xirong before.
Those two urgent dispatches were only one day apart, but the news was completely opposite. It is incredible to think about it. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a miracle.
But at that time, everyone was immersed in the great joy that the crisis was over. No one doubted the news, let alone attributed this change to a certain person.
"Is it the change brought about by A Yin?"
Master Liaowu didn't say much until he pointed it out. He just said: "Don't let her down. She won you by gambling her life with the way of heaven."
Is she risking her life?
Those mixed and disordered things suddenly became coherent, and Xie Yu'an felt enlightened.
Could it be that she exchanged her life for the so-called system in that retreat?
Was the life-and-death calamity that night at the night market her bet with Heaven?
Xie Yu'an recalled every bit of his time with Qiao Yin, and some details that he had overlooked, such as the coast after the tide receded, all showed up.
The first date at the night market, her sudden despair, and her heart-wrenching words - 'Xie Yu'an, I have no future. ’
He invited her to come to the General's Mansion to see the paintings. He looked forward to the future, saying that there would be more of her in the paintings. Although she smiled, her eyes were full of sadness.
And her hesitant look when she gave him a porcelain tiger and he promised to meet her every year.
He should have noticed this a long time ago.
Xie Yu'an knows better than anyone how much Qiao Yin cherishes her life. The gangster's den is so dangerous and dangerous. She will say to herself every day: she wants to live, she wants to live.
But she risked her own life to win their current peace?
Xie Yuan's heart stirred up a storm, he rushed out of Xiangguo Temple, got on his horse, whipped and galloped back to the city.
……
In the city——
Qiao Yin slept for a while longer and got up to have breakfast. There was already a layer of snow outside.
Qiao Yin asked his servants and learned that Xie Yuan had gone out of the city to deliver New Year gifts.
It’s the Chinese New Year, and I definitely need to wear new clothes.
Qiao Yin took out the red clothes that he had prepared a long time ago and put them on 321. The little puppy transformed into a little tiger.
There are three, two and one, and West, five and six are naturally indispensable.
As parents, you naturally want a bowl of water to be balanced.
Qiao Yin went to the stable again and changed Xiwuliu into a red saddle. By the way, he combed its mane and braided it into a fancy head. The red bow was beautiful.
"Xi Wuliu, I really should get a mirror to look at you. You don't know how handsome you are now. If you go out, all the little stallions in the city will have to chase you."
Xiwuliu only responded with a disdainful snort.
After Qiao Yin changed the two family members into new clothes, she turned to her mother-in-law Qin. She made an appointment with her mother-in-law yesterday to prepare tea together.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard two voices, one cheerful and one deep.
"It's written crookedly again."
"No problem, stick it in my study."
"It's posted in your study. If someone asks which family name this is from, how will you answer?"
"Just say it was written by me. It was a drunken work. Although it has no structure, it is full of wit and uniqueness. So hang it up and appreciate it for yourself."
"Hahahaha, that's how your prostitute got by making nonsense."
Qiao Yin looked inside and saw Qin Baishuang writing Spring Festival couplets by the half-open window with a pen in her bare hand, but there was another strong palm covering her bare hand.
The head of the Xie family stood behind Qin Baishuang, holding Qin Baishuang's hand and teaching her to hold it horizontally and vertically one stroke at a time.
The head of the Xie family, who was usually cold and taciturn, had a smile on his lips and endless tenderness between his brows and eyes.
Qiao Yin took a peek, not daring to disturb the love between the two, and quietly returned to his courtyard.
Snow was falling all over the sky.
Qiao Yin thought of Qi Bajiu who had never been masked but left with hatred.
Those who celebrate the New Year naturally have to be neat and tidy, so how can they be less than seven or eighty-nine.
Qiao Yin bent down and formed a ball of snow, and after a little effort, he finally made a prototype.
Add eyes and mouth, and put on a red cloak, it looks very presentable.
Qiao Yin was admiring his masterpiece when suddenly someone surrounded him behind him.
Xie Yuan suddenly appeared and hugged her from behind.
"What are the conditions?"
