Just when the young man in monk's clothing was standing by the sink in the kitchen, he looked calmly at the place where a certain noble lady of the Xie family accidentally "left" her small clothes.

Lin'an Temple, main entrance.

In the wet bluestone alley, a huge carriage pulled by four tall horses was parked quietly.

The carriage is covered with floral carpets, scented silk quilts, and a heating stove.

A noble lady sat in it, gently rubbing her eyebrows with her fingers, closing her eyes and waiting.

"Madam, the lady is back!"

Wan Qing ran out of the temple gate first and came to the carriage to announce the good news.

Xie Xue'e breathed a sigh of relief, opened her eyes, and immediately saw a young girl with no make-up wearing a long dress lightly boarding the carriage.

The blush on her face was still there, and there was a slight smile on her red lips. She didn't know what she was thinking. After entering the carriage and sitting down, she forgot to say hello to her aunt.

"Seventeenth Mother, do you still know to come back?" Xie Xue'e's tone was a little sad.

"Ah?" Xie Lingjiang came back to his senses and said in a daze: "Oh, sister-in-law, you have been waiting for a long time."

When Xie Xue'e saw her niece acting silly, her blood pressure suddenly became uncontrollable.

Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the familiar fox white fur shawl on Xie Lingjiang's shoulders, and her expression changed slightly:

"What did Shi Qiniang and him do in the temple?"

Xie Lingjiang immediately replied: "Have a bowl of longevity noodles and eat them."

Xie Xue'ehu asked: "Just eat from below?"

"if not?"

"Didn't you do anything else?"

"Oh, yes, there is one."

Xie Xue'e immediately asked: "What's the matter!"

"A greedy mouse appeared in the kitchen. Before I changed into my monk's clothes, senior brother Nuanxin helped me catch it."

"Seventeenth mother is still afraid of mice?"

Xie Lingjiang thought for a while, "I'm a little scared tonight."

"Then what?"

"Then……"

In the carriage, Xie Lingjiang leaned forward, held the small iron tongs, carefully fiddled with the charcoal in the stove, and suddenly smiled sweetly:

"Then when I saw its greedy and silly look, I suddenly wasn't afraid anymore and felt... very cute."

"..." Xie Xue'e.

The best thing you can say is mice.

…

The entrance of Lin'an Temple.

A luxury carriage drove slowly away.

The monks respectfully watched the two noble ladies of the Xie family leave and return to the gate.

About a quarter of an hour later, a slender figure walked out of the temple door, waved goodbye to the monks who were seeing him off, and left the alley.

Ouyang Rong had just taken a few steps when a familiar snort suddenly came from behind.

"Dongmei?" He turned back curiously.

Immediately, he saw Yan Liulang, wearing a raincoat and bamboo hat, walking out of the alley leading a big maroon horse.

"Mingfu, you finally came out! Let me wait for a while."

Ouyang Rong looked them up and down: "Why is Liulang here?"

"I'm not waiting for you, Mingfu."

Yan Liulang sighed:

"I was planning to leave just now, so as not to disturb Mingfu and Miss Xie's world, but it suddenly rained heavily. I remembered that you didn't seem to have enough umbrellas, so I turned back to get rain gear to find you..."

Ouyang Rong nodded.

Yan Liulang was talkative again and talked about what happened at the Xunyang Tower dinner after he and Xie Lingjiang left hand in hand.

Ouyang Rong listened silently, nodded, and patted Yan Liulang on the shoulder:

"Thank you for your hard work, Rokuro. Let's go."

"Okay." Yan Liulang's eyes were curious: "Hey, what is in Mingfu's arms?"

He looked at Ouyang Rong's somewhat bulging chest and clothes, which seemed to have been stuffed with some fabric.

Ouyang Rong, who put on drying clothes again, said seriously:

"It's a monk's robe. I've worn it. It's quite commemorative. Take it back."

Yan Liulang said with a smile: "I see, I thought it was some kind of love token given by Miss Xie to the Ming Dynasty."

Ouyang Rong's eyelids twitched, he turned his back, led the horse and left.

"What are you thinking about? Go back quickly."

The tone was a little guilty.

…

After the birthday party, Ouyang Rong did not see his junior sister for three consecutive days.

It seems that her sister-in-law is going to spend the Yuanzheng Day in Jiangzhou, and some relatives of the Xie family in Chen County are coming one after another.

The junior sister can't find time to come to Huaiye Lane for a while.

Ouyang Rong understood it and didn't have much grudge.

If you want to be a long-term lover, you need to learn to delay enjoyment.

The biological aunt seemed to be watching her a little closely. She spent all her time with her junior sister during the day, not giving him many opportunities to take advantage of her.

There is a vague meaning of fire prevention, theft prevention and gentleman protection.

Ouyang Rong was speechless.

It's just that the days without my junior sister are indeed a bit lonely.

When he was focusing on his career before, Ouyang Rong didn't feel that he had nothing to do during the Yuanzheng holiday.

Another precedent was set, and he experienced the "rotten smell" of love, and he suddenly had a taste for it.

Especially a strong body in his twenties is like a stove that cannot be extinguished even if he drinks ice.

This caused Ouyang Rong to look up at the three-character plaque of "Yin Bing Zhai" every day when he got up and went out.

Some people express their gratitude to the original owner and mentor of this house for their foresight in gifting him this house.

There is indeed a fire in my body.

Even if you laugh to death, even drinking ice can't extinguish this great fire of righteousness.

Ouyang Rong rubbed his face.

Recently, when he was tossing and turning late at night, he gradually understood the good intentions behind the two blue and pink pieces of thin, narrow, soft fabric left behind by his junior sister.

This is called entrusting something to show affection.

But in this case, it seems that I need to dry them every day.

Fortunately, he has the well-behaved and sensible Ye Weila in his house, who can do the work for him...

But after thinking about this, Ouyang Rong couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He had known that he would also give some gifts to his junior sister.

This kind of lovesickness must not be easy for the junior sister as well...

No matter what, after holding hands with my junior sister and confessing to each other, all the wild thoughts these days were left behind in the old year along with the bright fireworks exploding in the sky on the night of the New Year.

After getting up early the next day, he opened the window and suddenly saw that the outside was covered in snow and white.

It's snow.

In the south of Jiangzhou, the first heavy snow of this winter finally fell.

As the New Year approaches, Ouyang Rong becomes a little busier.

The current New Year's Eve is called "New Year's Eve" in this era.

After the "New Year's Eve", the next day's "Yuanzheng" officially begins.

In Xunyang City, every household gathers for dinner and drinks Sichuan pepper wine, which not only drives away cold and dampness, but also adds a warm festive atmosphere.

At the same time, every household must replace it with new peach charms to "ward off evil spirits" and welcome the new year.

The Huaiye Lane residence was no exception. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, Ouyang Rong, dressed in new clothes, drank pepper wine with Zhen Shuyuan, Ye Weila, Banxi and other female relatives.

This is a very spicy and pungent turbid wine, with a faint bitter taste and "sweetness". Ouyang Rong reluctantly took a few sips, but Ye Weilai surprisingly liked drinking it. She was a bit greedy, and her little face was flushed with alcohol, like two

Little Apple, the white-haired girl lay in his arms, burping cutely, calling Tanlang Tanlang...

Ouyang Rong couldn't help laughing.
