A few days after Xie Pingbei returned, it was the New Year's Eve.
It was a rare occasion for the Xie family to have a reunion dinner, and the mansion was bustling with activity.
It snowed all night yesterday.
There was no rest until dawn.
The entire capital was covered in snow-covered silver, as crystal clear as jade.
Jiang Rong wore a brand-new red coat with lotus pattern and silver embroidery, and a snow fox cloak. She looked like a fairy in the snow, so pretty and lovely.
Xie Lingxi is also wearing a red brocade robe, with the same lotus pattern on the collar and mouth, but it is simpler.
According to the Xie family's New Year custom, all the younger generations first went to pay their respects to the old concubine early in the morning, and then went to worship their ancestors.
Although servants had cleared away the fallen snow early, the ground was still slippery with a touch of ice.
Xie Lingxi held an umbrella with one hand and held Jiang Rong tightly with the other hand, and they walked toward Songhe Hall together.
The snow was falling heavily, and the red plum blossoms in the garden were in full bloom.
White snow, red plum blossoms, beauty in red.
The two people walking side by side under the oil-paper umbrella looked as beautiful as a picture scroll.
Jiang Rong turned his head slightly and glanced at Xie Lingxi beside him. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly smiled sweetly.
"What are you laughing at?" Xie Lingxi immediately focused on her and noticed it immediately.
"I remember that after we got married, we walked on this road for the first time to greet my grandmother. You were walking in front at that time..." Jiang Rong smiled lightly.
She lied to him and said that I didn't know the way, so the man gradually slowed down and waited for her.
Now, he takes her with him.
Before I knew it, I had been gone for a year.
They have experienced many things together, visited some places, seen some scenery...
Go a long way.
And in the future, she will go to the end of time with him.
Xie Lingxi was startled and looked down at the little girl beside him, remembering the time when they had just gotten married.
When he first married her, he never thought that he would fall in love with her in the future.
Fortunately, he married her back earlier.
The two of them didn't say much, only a light warm atmosphere surrounded them.
"Hiss—" Jiang Rong was walking very carefully, but when he turned the corner, his foot slipped and he almost fell to the ground.
Xie Lingxi held her in his arms, handed her the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and picked her up by the waist.
Jiang Rong's face turned slightly red: "There are many people today..."
Today everyone is going to pay their respects to the old concubine, as well as some relatives from the Xie family branch, who will be seen!
"You have lied to me so many times, and now you are shy?" Xie Lingxi looked at the person in her arms and couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Rong's face turned redder.
I didn't feel shy when I tricked him into hugging me, but I felt shy when being mentioned.
"There are many people today. If you fall on the ground and break your face, it won't look good." Xie Lingxi teased and took over the second half of her sentence.
I found a reason to carry her on the trip.
Jiang Rong blushed slightly and buried herself in his chest without speaking.
The accompanying jadeite and agate covered their mouths and snickered.
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are truly in love with each other from the beginning of the year to the end of the year!
Xie Lingxi and Jiang Rong arrived early and met many members of the Xie family who were paying their respects to the old concubine on the way. Everyone looked sideways and many showed kind smiles.
Everyone had long heard that Xie Lingxi was extremely fond of his bride, so they didn't feel surprised when they saw her.
Arrive in front of Songhe Hall.
Xie Lingxi put Jiang Rong down, and the two of them went to pay their respects to their grandmother.
Xie Yuanwen's condition was aggravated by the wind blowing at the city gate that day, and he might still be angry. Now he was really sick and couldn't get out of bed.
So it didn’t appear to be an eyesore today.
Concubine Li was originally Concubine Zhao's yes-man, but after Concubine Zhao's accident, she was very smart and never dared to find fault with the prince and his wife, and was very respectful to them.
So in the Songhe Hall, all the people paying their respects were harmonious and lively.
"Second brother, it's snowing, let's build a snowman!" Xie Ling'an, the little dumpling boy, tugged on Xie Lingxi's sleeves, blinking cutely with his round, black and white eyes.
He is Xie Lingxi's younger brother, and he is only five years old this year.
Liudu attends classes in school on weekdays and is very diligent.
That is to say, the holiday is only after the New Year.
Xie Ruojiao looked at the heavy snow outside the window and was ready to move, "Let's go together! Sister-in-law, let's go build a snowman together!"
Make a snowman……
Jiang Rong was startled. The Jiang family, whose poems and books were passed down from generation to generation, had always been strict with her.
She spent her youth studying and never had any fun. Chang always has a lot of reasons and doesn't allow her to do all kinds of things.
If you think about it carefully, she actually didn't have a childhood. She has never built a snowman.
Mrs. Chang said she would fall ill from the cold if she touched the snow. It sounds like everything is good for her.
She just couldn't bear to take care of this child. Locking her in the library and not letting her go out would save her a lot of trouble.
"I...won't..." Jiang Rong hesitated.
Xie Ruojiao looked at her in surprise, "There are things in this world that my sister-in-law doesn't know. I always feel that my sister-in-law is omnipotent... Go ahead and let me teach you! It's fun!"
"Go, go, let's all go and have fun. Nanny, prepare ginger soup for them." Old Concubine Xie ordered with a smile.
Xie Lingxi turned her head and looked at the little woman beside her. Her gaze fell on Luoxue outside the window, which was a little novel and a little strange.
Xie Ruojiao and Xie Lingan have been pestering him to take them to play in the snow since they were children.
She hasn't even touched it...
She used to live in the Jiang family.
Xie Lingxi remembered the information about Jiang Rong. Although there are many omissions, it cannot be false that she is locked in the bookcase every day without leaving the house.
Her past lacked a lot of ordinary happiness.
He is now helping her make up for it one by one.
"Together, Rong Rong." Xie Lingxi looked at her.
Jiang Rong nodded and followed the Xie brothers and sisters to the yard.
She didn't know how to play, but she just didn't want to disappoint her younger siblings, so she came with them.
But when Xie Lingxi takes her to build a snowman together...
She also enjoys it.
I rolled a particularly big snowball with Xie Ruojiao. I didn’t know what the fun was, but unknowingly, a happy smile filled my face.
The old concubine sat on the couch near the window, watching the children laughing and playing, with a happy smile on her face.
This is the first New Year for Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi to get married.
In the heavy snowfall, she built the first snowman with him.
Return to the yard.
The old concubine immediately ordered someone to bring steaming ginger soup, and ordered her servants to bring more pots of silver charcoal for them to bake their clothes.
The little dumpling beside me chirped, "Brother and sister-in-law, let's set off fireworks together tonight!"
"Sister-in-law, I have learned some new window paper patterns, they are very nice. I will cut them for you. Look at what I cut!" Xie Ruojiao on the other side said with a smile.
The man next to her gently wiped the fallen snow from her hair and stuffed a heater into her palm.
Jiang Rong was surrounded by this lively warmth and thought to herself, this turns out to be the Chinese New Year.
