It was snowing outside, covering the entire Chang'an City in a white area. The trees, streets, and roofs were covered with thick snow. Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Next year, it will be another year of good weather.

The pedestrians coming and going on the street are very good, and most of them are busy at home, perhaps because of the snow or today's day.

Today is New Year's Eve, and it is the last day of Renshou's 14th year. From tomorrow, it will be the first year of Daye.

The capital was peaceful. The death of Emperor Wen of Sui did not have any impact on the Chinese New Year plans of the common people. Instead, it gained a lot of benefits because of the new emperor ascending the throne.

Because the new emperor ascended the throne and his family were in Chang'an, this Spring Festival, Li Yuan brought his sons back to Cheng'an to celebrate the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, every household gathered together. Whether the children of rich families or ordinary people, they all ran around the alley with small lanterns. Even the adults who were busy all year round did not blame each other, just smiled, and then sat with their relatives and friends to chat about those eternal topics.

There is no TV in this era, no Spring Festival Gala, no noisy sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys, only peace and laughter.

No matter what the family is, the New Year’s Eve dinner is always rich, and the shadow of fish will appear on the tables of every household.

In the restaurant of the Duke of Tang Dynasty, everyone gathered together to spend the last night of the year, but while everyone was happy, there was still a hint of loneliness in their hearts, because this year's reunion dinner was not reunited, and there was no need to go out to the mistress and the little four in other places. Xiao Si was nothing. He was usually dull and talked little, which almost made people forget his existence. Although he is now a high-ranking official in the fourth rank, his weight in this family is still not that heavy, but the mistress is not here, and the atmosphere of the New Year at home is not so warm, and it always makes people feel that something is missing.

When everyone raised their glasses, Dou saw at a glance that Xiao Shiyun and Changsun Wugu, who were sitting at the table, obviously looked indifferent, but it was not easy to discourage everyone's interest, so they both smiled strongly. Dou sighed softly in her heart. She also missed Saburo in her heart. Although Saburo has always caused trouble since she was a child, she still couldn't change her love for Saburo.

Dou Feng, who was spending the New Year at the Duke of Tang's mansion for the first time, obviously felt the heavy atmosphere. Bingxue was so smart that she could not guess the reason. But she didn't mention Li Bing and Li Yuanba, and kept talking about some happy things with Li Jiancheng's wife Chang at the dinner. It was Dou Feng's first time in the New Year, and everyone had to take care of her face, so she finally prevented the New Year's Eve dinner from being in a mess.

Xiao Shiyun forced herself to eat something with everyone. She looked at Changsun Wugui, who pretended to be smiling like herself. Her mind flew to the person she cared about in the distance. "Damn, I clearly said I would accompany me back to celebrate the Lantern Festival, but it's the New Year, why haven't you come back yet? Sanlang, don't you know Shiyun is thinking of you?"

The first time I had the New Year's Eve dinner with Li Yuan and others, Changsun Wugui looked at Xiao Shiyun with a blank look. How could he not know what she was thinking? His longing for Li Bing could not stop rushing into his heart, and his heart was so sad.

Even Li Xiuning missed Li Bing very much on this day when the whole family reunites. But she is different from Xiao Shiyun and the others. She dared not make that kind of longing obviously. Thinking of the difficulties between herself and Li Bing, she felt very uncomfortable, and she looked distracted.

The New Year's Eve dinner that should have been a joyful ended in this depressing atmosphere. Although Li Yuan and Li Yuanji tried their best to mobilize the dull atmosphere, they were helpless when they looked at everyone's depressed appearance. After the New Year's Eve dinner, the servants took down the bowls, chopsticks and wine utensils at the banquet, and everyone sat around the table and drank tea and chatted. However, only a few big men were saying something awkwardly. The women all looked absent-minded. Finally, Li Yuan reluctantly announced that this year's New Year's Eve dinner would end here, and then the crowd returned to their own houses.

Changsun Wugui was lying on the bed toss and turns and couldn't sleep. Since Changsun Wugui and Li Bing made a marriage contract, she has become one of the owners of Li Bing's yard. So now Changsun Wugui has her own house and maid in Li Bing's yard. But today, Li Bing's day of family reunion, Li Bing is not always empty. She simply got up and put on her clothes, went out to Xiao Shiyun's door and knocked gently.

"Who?" Xiao Shiyun's voice came from the door.

"Sister Yun is me, Wugui." Changsun Wugui replied outside. Then there was a sound of wearing shoes inside, and soon the door was opened and Xiao Shiyun appeared at the door.

"Sister Qu is visiting late at night, can't you sleep? Do you miss Sanlang?" Xiao Shiyun and Changsun Wugui are very familiar with each other, and they will serve the same man in the future, so they teased them familiarly.

"I'm talking about me, Sister Yun, aren't you? I didn't know who looked unsteady during the New Year's Eve dinner!" Changsun Wugui smiled and fought back without showing any weakness.

"Okay, I won't tease you, come in quickly, it's cold outside!" Xiao Shiyun asked Changsun Wugui into the house and lay on the collapse together. Two girls who missed the same man lay together on the bed and whispered all night.

The snow is still falling, Chang'an City is still peaceful, and everyone is sleeping soundly...

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Li Yuan took a few legitimate sons to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. Xiao Shiyun and Changsun Wugui had a night talk last night, so they didn't get up until they were about to have lunch. However, Dou, in the first month of the year, obviously wouldn't care about these things, and just sent his servants to urge them to come and have dinner.

On the second and third day of the lunar calendar, the days passed quickly during visits and greetings. In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is here.

During the Sui Dynasty, the Chinese New Year was not the most lively day of the year, and the most lively one. The Chinese Yuan Festival (Lantern Festival). On the Chinese Yuan Festival, not only did the court lift the curfew, but the royal family often came out to watch lanterns and enjoy the people. In addition, there were programs such as stilt walking, lion dancing, and dry boat rowing.

It was already the day of the Lantern Festival, but Li Bing still disappeared. Xiao Shiyun and Changsun Wugui were eagerly looking forward to Li Bing's return every day. Both of them still remembered the promise Li Bing had to leave: they would definitely take them to watch the lanterns.

"A rapid sound of horse hooves sounded from far to near, and pedestrians on the road looked strangely in the direction where the sound came. They saw a cloud of smoke and dust on the official road. It was obvious that it was a large group of people who could step on such a large amount of dust. The pedestrians felt panic. Could it be that someone wanted to attack the capital?

While people were constantly muttering, they saw a large group of people rushing over from the smoke and dust. In addition to the few riders in front of them, they all had black armor. The heads held a black flag with a blood-red "Li" on it. Then they passed by people like lightning, and the long line turned into a long dragon, and a carriage was escorted in the middle.

Seeing the black armor and the black Li flag, the pedestrians on the road suddenly realized that it was the Dingbei Army led by Dingbei Hou who was rushing to the road.

Li Bing is anxious now. He traveled all the way a few days ago, and the trip was not very fast. In addition, the soldiers insisted on holding a birthday party for him and Li Yuanba. Then heavy snow fell from the sky in the north, and the road was extremely difficult to walk, so time was delayed. He still remembers his promise to Xiao Shiyun and Changsun Wugui. Today is the Lantern Festival, how could he not be in a hurry? Fortunately, he can see the shadow of the capital from afar, and he even urged the Fire Jade Qilin to run faster.

"Oh, I didn't expect that I would return to the capital in just a few days!" Chen Dierui looked at the silver-covered Chang'an City not far away through the window on the carriage. She sighed quietly. Fate is really ironic. Chen Dierui had just escaped from Chang'an, and less than a month later, she came back.

Zhang Qinyao looked at Chen Dierui sitting next to her. She had been very familiar with Chen Dierui these days. She also knew that her young master had zero defense against beautiful women. She looked at this woman who was only thirty years old and was almost twice as big as Li Bing. She was also the favorite concubine of the late emperor. For some reason, she always felt strange in her heart. Of course, Zhang Qinyao was also very sympathetic to Chen Muxue's experience. She was imprisoned in Chang'an at the age of four, and then had to commit herself to her enemies. So after these days, the two of them had become very familiar with each other. They were also Sister Xue, Sister Chang Yao, and shouted in a short time.

Xiao Shiyun was sitting in the room with Changsun Wugui, playing chess absent-mindedly, constantly complaining about Li Bing in his heart, and suddenly a surprise voice sounded in the yard: "Mrs. Young Madam, Young Madam, Third Master, he is back!"

Xiao Shiyun and Changsun Wugui stood up excitedly at the same time, but accidentally knocked down the chessboard and spread the chess pieces all over the floor. However, none of them were interested in the chess pieces on the ground, and just hurriedly opened the door and asked, "Really? Is it Saburo back?"

The maid who reported the news quickly saluted Xiao Shijun and Changsun Wugui. The two girls hurriedly asked her to get up and looked at her anxiously. The maid gasped and said, "Mrs. Young Master, it's really the third master who is back. I saw that he had just gone to the wife and master's room! He was so dusty that it seemed that he was rushing back."

When the two girls heard nothing to say, the person they had been thinking about came back. They trotted all the way out of the yard, but just after they arrived at the gate of the yard, a black shadow flashed out of the yard, holding the two of them in their arms. They were shocked first, and then smelled the familiar smell, and their bodies collapsed. The one holding them was Li Bing who had just arrived back.

After Li Bing returned to the Duke of Tang's mansion in a hurry, he first went to Li Yuan and Dou's house to invite him. Then Dou thought that Xiao Shiyun and Changsun Wugui were looking forward to him, so he drove him back.

As soon as Li Bing arrived at the door, he saw the two girls who wanted to run out. After not seeing each other for half a year, he missed the two girls very much, so he held them in his arms.

"You bad guy, it's been so long as you go out, so that you can't help it..." Xiao Shiyun was about to say something coquettishly, but her mouth was blocked by a warmth. Her body stiffened, and then she softened and cooperated with Li Bing.

After splitting her mouth with Xiao Shiyun, Li Bing looked at another happy Changsun Wugui in her arms, and felt loving in her heart, and shouted softly with affection: "Sister Grimm Changsun Wugui was about to say something, but her mouth was blocked. Changsun Wugui gently closed his eyes, and his beautiful face was flushed... This chapter was first published by ""
