On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed in Yancheng.
The white snow falls on the red plum branches, and the fragrant plum stamens dye the white snow through, making everything cold and fragrant.
Xi Lanting took Yun Qiao to the old lady's house and had a meal with her.
"...I will be moving in a few days. I may not come back much in the future."
Xi Lanting said to the old lady.
The old lady nodded: "It's more comfortable for you to live outside.
I always encourage you young people to go out and live in small apartments.
This old mansion is in a state of decay."
She is enlightened.
Yun Qiao smiled.
Xi Lanting added: "My yard is still guarded by people, so no one of you can get close to it.
After we move out, I will ask people to reinforce a wall around it."
Yun Qiao glanced at him.
Is it necessary to take such precautions?
The old lady nodded: "This is nature, and that is your yard."
"When spring comes and the weather gets warm, you can come and stay in our new house for a few days."
Yun Qiao said to her.
The old lady smiled and said: "Okay.
If you need anything, just tell me and I'll have someone take care of it."
"I don't need anything, but thank you anyway."
Yun Qiao smiled.
Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept talking to each other, and they had a pleasant lunch.
Before leaving, Xi Lanting said to the old lady again: "If anything happens at home, send someone to find me.
Even if I move out, I won't ignore you."
The old lady was very moved.
After reporting to her, Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting officially prepared to move.
She informed her friends.
Early in the morning on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Aunt Qian took several old servants in charge of her family and went to Yun Qiao's new house first to prepare all the food, drinks and supplies.
The official time to enter the house is ten o'clock in the morning.
Firecrackers were set off, resounding throughout the street.
Xi Changan led Xi Shuangfu, Xi Rong and Xi Zun to hold a grand housewarming ceremony, including rice jars.
The two hosts, Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting, entered the new house behind "Anfu Zunrong" like guests.
Yun Qiao held the cat in her arms and followed the leopard beside her.
These two animals were extremely docile and seemed to understand their owner's thoughts without any sense of presence. After entering the door, they followed Xi Rong and retreated to the side room.
Several people were waiting in the living room.
The Qian sisters and Chang Ningxin also came, following Aunt Qian; the rest were Yun Qiao's friends, almost all of them arrived.
Wen Luyao stood out the most in the crowd because she was dressed in bright red, as bright as fire.
Yun Qiao thought she was very beautiful. Her aunt had a round face, and her red dress made her extremely charming, like a kapok in full bloom.
However, Xi Lanting felt that her eyeballs were insulted by the vulgarity, so she closed her eyes, doubting that her aunt's aesthetics would never improve in her life.
"This house is nice and worthy of you."
Wen Luyao sighed very much, "Xi Laoqi did something personal this time.
The house you lived in before was extremely shabby and the air was not good, so you felt stuffy when you entered it."
Xi Lanting glanced at her lightly: "Auntie, don't worry about whether we live well or not, it has nothing to do with you.
It’s better to secure more matchmakers and take care of your own business.”
Wen Luyao: "..."
Do you have a problem with me wearing red?
"...Yun Qiao sometimes wears red clothes, and she also has a bright red cloak."
Wen Lu Yao said, "She also went to protect the matchmaker?"
Xi Lanting: "She is good-looking."
Wen Luyao: "In addition to the red ones, she also has a green coat. She often wears it when you are not at home."
Xi Lanting: "She is good-looking."
Wen Luyao: "Although I'm not as good as her, but..."
Xi Lanting: "It's really not as good as that!"
Later, Xue Zhengdong dragged Wen Luyao aside because Wen Luyao wanted to tear Xi Lanting apart with all his teeth and claws.
Yun Qiao did not stop the fight.
Xi Lanting is very lazy, and he only gets a little lively when he confronts Lu Yao.
After a lot of fun, Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting finally had their own new home.
