Everyone bowed respectfully and stepped aside. Liu Miao'er held Yue Jing in her arms and watched Yuan Sheng enter the room with a cold face, and hurriedly asked people to get hot water.
Although Yuan Sheng was an uninvited guest, he was the boss and she was the poor hostage. She did not dare to say anything to drive him out.
Xiaoxue followed the order and left, and Yuan Sheng also came to Liu Miao'er's side at this time. Looking at the dishes on the table, he narrowed his eyes and actually showed a cold smile to Liu Miao'er.
Come.
"Madam, thank you for your hard work! After all, my husband did not miss the New Year's Eve dinner you prepared."
As he said that, Yuan Sheng took Liu Miao'er's hand, just like the husband who rushed back late at night. He held the hand of Liu Miao'er, a boudoir woman who was waiting for her husband to return in the boudoir. They sat together and carried out this annual ceremony.
The most unmissable reunion.
It seems that there is a feeling of husband and wife, as if Liu Miao'er and Yuan Sheng are already a bunch of old couples who live in harmony with each other. She carefully prepared the New Year's Eve dinner at the house, and then waited for her husband to come back when he went out to work.
People harmoniously and happily recall every detail of this year, and then look forward to the beauty of the next year.
Then the husband drank a little wine and told his wife what he had experienced along the way, the ups and downs and wind and rain along the way. The wife sat aside and listened with a smile, her mind floating with her husband's talk, and then looked at the man who had returned safely.
The husband's eyes filled with tears and he couldn't help himself.
Finally, she would say thank God that we have finally passed this year safely. My husband, look at how big our children are.
Then the man will say, thank you for your hard work, my wife. When I earn enough money, I will come back to stay with you and watch our children grow up. How about that?
The two reached an agreement, and in the end, the whole house was full of affection and warmth. The children's laughter was clear and lively, the sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys was endless, and the excitement of the New Year made everyone smile.
This is the New Year's Eve that Liu Miaoer imagined. Unfortunately, the sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys is indeed endless, but the excitement belongs to others, and all she has is this New Year's Eve dinner. But when Yuan Sheng came, he said this
In one sentence, she was at a loss as to what to do.
She is not the young lady waiting for her husband to return, and Yuan Sheng is not the husband who has returned after a long journey.
So she took her hand out of Yuan Sheng's cold palm without thinking, but Yuan Sheng grabbed it with his backhand and held it tighter. Liu Miao'er's expression froze, not knowing what to do, so she had to use another hand.
With her free hand, she pinched Yue Jing gently, and Yue Jing cried with a wink.
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry, be good!"
Liu Miao'er took back her hand to comfort Yue Jing. When Yuan Sheng saw that Yue Jing was really crying, he let go and let Liu Miao'er coax the child while he ordered people to spread chopsticks and add bowls.
When the boss came, the servants moved very quickly. Everyone knew that Yuan Sheng didn't like procrastination, so everything was done quickly and simply. By the time Liu Miao'er signaled Yue Jing to stop crying, Yuan Sheng had already
Pick up the silver chopsticks and start eating.
Tsk tsk, it’s still silver chopsticks. I have to be very careful, but I do need to prepare a pair of ivory chopsticks, so as not to know when I am poisoned to death.
Liu Miaoer muttered secretly, Yuan Sheng seemed to feel her gaze, turned around and glanced at her coldly, which scared her so much that she hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Suddenly there was a piece of fish in the bowl. Liu Miaoer raised her eyes and found that Yuan Sheng's silver chopsticks were drawing a graceful arc away from her bowl. She was disrespectful and thanked Bumin, but she still picked up the fish and ate it herself.
But as she ate, the dining room was silent except for the sound of her chewing bones. Liu Miaoer looked up in shock and found Yuan Sheng looking at her with cold and deep eyes.
The servants around her also looked at her with disapproval on their faces.
What did I do wrong?
For Yuan Sheng, Liu Miao'er felt guilty. After all, he didn't like to get close to others due to his temperament. He had trusted her so much in the past, so Liu Miao'er felt sorry for him from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't do anything because of what she had done in the past.
A mistake she had to make, not letting her eat, right?
Liu Miao'er stopped chewing, swallowed the thing in her mouth, and looked at Yuan Sheng timidly. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Yue Jing in her arms just wanted to send her away.
A blast.
Looking like this, whoever looks at me wants to bully him! He has no backbone and no ambition! He was so frightened by just one look. Why can't he show his calmness and courage when he first met me?
Yue Jing thought that she hated the iron. She wanted to thump her chest but realized that she was in front of others, so she held back. Yuan Sheng was not moved or sympathized by Liu Miao'er's appearance at all, but Xiaoshuang and Xiaoxue didn't know.
Is my sympathy overflowing? I reminded you quietly: "Madam, pick up some food."
Pick up food?
Liu Miaoer was stunned, and then she saw that there was nothing in Yuan Sheng's bowl. She glanced at the whole place and found that everyone was looking at her. She couldn't help but trembled deeply with her chopsticks and carefully roasted her for Yuan Sheng.
The chicken legs were placed in Yuan Sheng's bowl.
Yuan Sheng then picked up the silver chopsticks and started eating. His eyes disappeared, and the atmosphere in the dining room suddenly relaxed. Liu Miao'er took a deep breath and hurriedly picked up the rice, and then glanced at Yuan Sheng from time to time. Seeing that he was about to eat
After it was over, Liu Miaoer was very clever in picking up the dishes and pouring the wine. It can be said that the service was attentive and flawless.
But she didn't take a few bites herself.
Finally, the meal was over. Liu Miao'er was sweating profusely after eating the New Year's Eve dinner. Because Yue Jing was hungry, Liu Miao'er said goodbye to Yuan Sheng and returned to the house. Before leaving, she wiped her forehead, which was full of sweat.
Sweat profusely.
"Girl, you don't owe him anything!"
When the two of them returned to the house and closed the door to let Yue Jing drink milk, Yue Jing had eaten and drank enough and saw that Liu Miao'er was still looking out from time to time, so she said this. Liu Miao'er's figure changed.
Turning around, she saw Yue Jing's disapproving and distressed eyes. She understood in her heart, but she could only smile helplessly and said: "People, sometimes they like to ask for trouble. I told myself that I actually don't owe anything."
Man, I am soft-hearted! Yue Jing, do you think I am too kind?"
"Girl, you are not kind! It's just that this kid's behavior is very strange. After this, it should be the time when the emperor and the concubines in the palace are enjoying the New Year's Eve together. Why did he run out?"
Yue Jing didn't want to blame Liu Miao'er. After all, some things in human nature couldn't be changed. As long as it didn't endanger his and Liu Miao'er's interests, he didn't need to care about the rest. But the new emperor's behavior today also
How abnormal!
Amidst the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve, the Nine-Five-Year-Old Lord came through the snow just to have a New Year's Eve dinner?
When Yue Jing said this, Liu Miao'er also felt strange, but she didn't have the courage to ask, so after thinking about it for a while, she decided not to think about it. She asked Yue Jing to eat and go to bed quickly. She would have to stay up late later.
, why should I wait until the first day of the new year before going to bed.
Because when the first day of the new year comes, she wants to make a wish for herself and Yue Jing to be safe and happy for a year.
Yue Jing and Liu Miao'er already had a good understanding. He knew what she was thinking, so he didn't stop her. He closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly. Liu Miao'er looked at his young and sleeping face and kissed his forehead gently.
, covered him with a quilt to block the wind, and then opened the window.
Flying snow is coming, the north wind is blowing, and the snowflakes are drifting into the house along the north window. The sky and the earth are already shining white, and the nearby eaves and the upright elm tree are also covered in silver, pure and white.
Quiet. The snowflakes are whispering, singing songs belonging to winter in their ears, and the north wind is accompanying them, whistling as they come and go. The moment Liu Miaoer closed the window, put on her fur coat, pushed out the door, and stepped into the snow.
Hearing the cheers of the snowflakes throwing themselves at the earth, they flew from the sky just to fall into the embrace of the solid earth. Liu Miaoer closed her eyes and seemed to hear the earth saying to the snowflakes: "I will save you.
Eternal life, integrated into the bones and blood!”
Is this a kind of oath?
Liu Miaoer slowly opened her eyes, brushed away the snow particles on her eyelashes, and for some reason she felt like walking around. Just as she said, she wrapped her fur coat and walked out of the yard, then stepped on the snow, leaving deep traces of it.
The deep and shallow footprints, after wandering around the mansion for a while, came to the plum garden of the Lin mansion.
The plum blossoms in the plum garden were in bloom, because standing outside the yard, Liu Miaoer had already smelled the fragrance. She held up the hem of her skirt and walked into the blooming branches of the garden, stood under the flowers and took a deep breath.
The flowers began to bloom, with thousands of flowers hanging low on the branches. Liu Miao'er reached out and touched the plum branches, and the snow foam fell down. The plum blossom branches swayed in the cold wind, and the fragrance was fragrant.
It seemed that somewhere, Liu Miao'er had seen plum blossoms blooming so prosperously, and then an arrow came through the cold wind. From that moment on, her life took a complete turn.
She really didn't know how Xiao Leng would feel when he saw her and Yuan Shao leaving. And she didn't know how Yuan Shao would feel when he saw her and Xiao Leng hugging each other. She
She only knows that she can't blame others for what happened in the past. If she sows bad causes, she will get bad consequences. She does need to pay for the sins she has committed herself.
It turns out that once I let it go, I really didn’t have any complaints anymore!
Liu Miao'er smiled slightly, but suddenly smelled the aroma of wine in the air, and her heart skipped a beat. She wondered who would come to Meiyuan to drink at this time.
Could it be that the servant took a break from his busy schedule and wanted to come here to experience the beauty of the floating snow and the subtle fragrance?
Liu Miao'er walked over curiously, but saw a ball of fire deep in the plum forest. Because she had never been to this plum forest before, she didn't know what was inside. She walked over lightly, but she saw that what was hidden deep in the plum forest was actually...
It's a mausoleum!
The tomb is not big, but it is meticulously repaired. The tombstone says Tomb of the Lin Mansion, but there is no signature or the person who erected the tombstone. In front of the tomb, two lamps with bull heads and horse faces are burning candles, illuminating the person who is standing in front of the tomb and praying.
Drinking man's face.
Yuan Sheng!
Liu Miao'er was startled. She didn't expect to meet him here. She turned around and ran away. However, because she was running too fast, she stepped on the snow and made a "squeaking" sound, which attracted Yuan Sheng's attention.
A cold light shot from behind, and before Yuan Sheng could say anything, Liu Miao'er stopped in resignation, turned her head, and showed an innocent smile to Yuan Sheng, who was standing in front of the tomb in white plain clothes.
