But just when Lin Wanyi felt a little uneasy, depressed, and regretful, she suddenly felt that after her grandmother left here, the atmosphere in the house became inexplicably lighter?
"It's going faster this year than last year."
Dongfang Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head, and saw her daughter's look of astonishment. She smiled and said, "Huanhua, it is our custom here to eat fish for breakfast, which indicates that there will be plenty in the coming year. Come on, fish." The belly is the tenderest and most delicious piece of meat.”
Seeing her mother preparing food for herself, Lin Wanyi was flattered and quickly took it in a bowl.
She said, "Mom, grandma, she was like this last year, too. She left the party early?"
"Yes, she picks on various issues every year and then leaves early. Last year, she picked on your third brother for his mouthfuls."
Lin Wanyi: "..."
Li Jin, who was sitting on the right side of Lin Wanyi, also used serving chopsticks to pick up food for her sister, "Huanheng, you don't have to think too much. Grandma is like this every year. She usually doesn't eat with us, that is, on New Year's Eve. , show up for breakfast and only have two bites of New Year’s dinner, we are all used to it.”
Li Yun also nodded, "Huanhan, don't worry about this matter. Grandma is not targeting you, she is actually targeting each of us."
Lin Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not just because of her.
It's just that grandma has always been like this, which makes the whole family feel bad, and they don't know what she is planning.
Fortunately, the next family meal was very harmonious and there was no further disturbance. During this period, Lin Wanyi said with emotion: "I don't know if the third brother ate fish this morning."
It's a bit desolate to think of my third brother spending the New Year alone.
Dongfang Yanran said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, in fact, he often didn't come back to celebrate the New Year before."
At this time, Licang, who was being talked about by his family, was looking at the person in front of him in stunned silence.
"Qi Mingyue, what are you doing standing on the wall of my house?!"
Qi Mingyue snorted coldly: "Isn't it because the door of your house is closed? Why should the door be closed during the Chinese New Year?"
"The main reason is that there are so many people coming to give gifts. I thought it was too annoying, so I asked people to close the door. But you, who is celebrating the New Year, why are you climbing on the wall?"
"My father invites you to my house for the New Year... Do you want to come or not?" After Qi Mingyue said this awkwardly, she jumped off the wall very neatly and sat astride a maroon horse.
She said to herself: "Anyway, I brought the message. Whether he is willing to come or not is his business..."
Before Qi Mingyue finished speaking, someone suddenly fell from the sky and jumped on her horse.
Suddenly carrying two people on its back, the big maroon horse was instantly frightened, raised its hooves, and started running wildly!
Qi Mingyue was almost knocked off her feet. She hurriedly grabbed the reins, while Licang behind her also hurriedly hugged her waist!
Qi Mingyue became angry and said, "Licang, let me go!"
"I don't! Let me go and I will fall!"
"Then who asked you to jump up? Don't you know whether men and women can have sex?!"
"I just want to tease you. Who knew you were so resistant to being frightened? As for whether men and women are intimate or not, we are already engaged, so who cares about this?"
"Who said I want to get engaged to you!?" Qi Mingyue turned her head angrily, but because the horse turned a corner, she was almost thrown out. However, Licang had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly passed her, grabbed the reins, and then pulled Qi Mingyue also pulled back.
But at this time, he completely trapped Qi Mingyue in his arms!
Qi Mingyue looked at the handsome man close at hand, especially his jaw that was slightly tense, and his Adam's apple sliding up and down, which made her feel flustered.
Licang was not much better, after all, this was the second time he had been so close to a woman.
Last time, I was with Qi Mingyue, and they got into a ball in the elegant room of a restaurant.
But they were all drunk at that time, and the feeling was not as real and enthusiastic as it is now. His heart was pounding. It was such a winter, and he felt like his ears were burning!
It's piping hot!
Licang coughed lightly and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Hey, don't move around yet. I'll stabilize the horse first, okay?"
For the first time in his life, Qi Mingyue said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Yeah."
Fortunately, today is New Year's Eve, and many people are preparing to celebrate the New Year at home. There are not many people on the street, so the horse ran very fast and did not hurt anyone.
When the horse completely stabilized, it had already reached the gate of Qi Mansion.
Qi Mingyue suddenly broke away from Licang's arms, jumped off the horse, and walked quickly, but after taking a few steps, she stopped again. She didn't look back and said awkwardly: "Hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to catch up later. It’s New Year’s Eve!”
After hearing this, Licang felt very happy and grinned, showing his big white teeth, "Okay!"
Looking at Qi Mingyue's back, Licang secretly thought: She looks so awkward, but she's so cute!
**
Rongcheng.
After Lin Wanyi came back from worshiping her ancestors, her mother told her to go back to her room to rest first and have a New Year's dinner together in the evening.
Lin Wanyi originally thought that the banquet would still be in her room, but when she returned, the quilt was folded neatly and it was already cold. It was obvious that she had been away for a long time.
Lin Wanyi remembered that she had said before that she wanted to watch the New Year together with him, so she said to Fuling: "Fu Ling, go to the banquet in the governor's yard and tell him to rest more during the day and watch the New Year together at night."
"Master, the governor is not in the courtyard. He went out with Tianquan. The governor said that if you want to find him, let Tianji lead the way."
Lin Wanyi knew that the purpose of leaving these words in the banquet was to let her find him.
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Wanyi said to Fuling: "Get changed, let's go find the Governor of the Banquet."
"Yes, Master!"
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Wanyi, who was wearing a rabbit fur cloak, went out from the back door of the palace and got into the carriage with Poria. Tianji came to drive the carriage.
Because today was very busy, no one noticed this for a while.
Lin Wan wanted to go back quickly and there wouldn't be any delay.
The carriage quickly left the city and headed towards Wolong Mountain in the distance. Lin Wanyi raised the curtain and looked at the familiar road.
Not long ago, she followed this path when her family paid homage to their ancestors.
Could it be that the banquet speech was also a tribute to some deceased elder?
The Feng Shui of this generation in Wolong Mountain is very good, and many people bury their deceased relatives here. Later, after Mr. Li passed away, Li Jue had people repair the place.
Lin Wanyi thought that the elder should be very important to the banquet speech.
"Princess Princess, we're here."
The carriage stopped, and we had to walk for the next part of the way.
Snow-capped dusk, cold pines stand in the mountains.
Tianji led the way, while Fuling supported Lin Wanyi and followed behind, slowly climbing up the stairs.
After turning a few corners and walking for about half a quarter of an hour, Lin Wanyi finally saw Yan Ci standing in front of a tombstone with his back to her.
She got closer and saw a few big characters written on the tombstone.
'The Tomb of Loving Mother Mu Ningyan'.
