"What's wrong?"
"Well……"
"say!"
"..."
Xihe looked at Song Yu blankly, wondering why he suddenly became reluctant.
Song Yu immediately turned cold, dropped her chopsticks, stood up and strode out the door. Xihe was startled and quickly chased after him, only to see the man get on his horse and run away in the blink of an eye.
Xihe: "..."
Old Man Jiang followed up and asked, "Is the person gone?"
The sky was gloomy, every house in the village was lit with candles, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Xihe turned around and went back to the house: "I'm leaving."
He walked to the table and sat down, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
There were four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes. Madam Xu was good at cooking and she could cook ordinary meals well, but Xihe suddenly lost her appetite after taking two bites. She couldn't help but ask, "Is this Song Yu so difficult to take care of?"
Gouzi turned over and said, "A man's heart is at a loss for words, what do you think?"
Xihe: ...I have nothing to say.
He stood up, packed his chopsticks and returned to the room.
Mr. Jiang looked at the closed door and couldn't help but shook his head and continued to smoke. Mrs. Xu looked at the empty place and silently stepped forward to bring the food to the kitchen.
The next day, Xihe woke up and found that the yard was very busy.
She got up, got dressed, and opened the door. She saw that the yard was full of things. Several boys were coming in and out, moving things outside the door. Song Yu was directing them.
Xihe's eyes widened: "What are you doing?"
Song Yu turned his head, paused, handed the riding whip to his entourage, and walked over: "I will be busy after the New Year, and I plan to take advantage of the New Year to move things into the city, and you will move there completely after the New Year. "
"Taomu Village is still quite far away from the city, so I can't take care of you."
Seeing her staring at her almond-shaped eyes with confusion,
Song Yu raised his hand and touched her head: "You don't have to worry about these, as long as you are happy every day." After a pause, he added, "It was my fault yesterday. I shouldn't have been angry at you. I'm sorry."
Xihe blinked: "It doesn't matter, I know you have good intentions."
Song Yu twitched his lips: "Yeah."
That night, Song Yu stayed in Taomu Village until very late before going back.
A few days later, the New Year was officially celebrated. On that day, Mrs. Song sent a carriage to pick up Xihe and Mr. Jiang to go to the Song Mansion to celebrate the New Year. Mr. Jiang politely declined.
Xihe felt strange: "Why don't you go? Don't you like that scene the most?"
Mr. Jiang slumped on the wicker chair and sighed: "It's different. If the current head of the Song family is Da Wa, I can go there without anyone asking me to carry the burden. But now it is Master Song who is the head of the family, Da Wa's biological father." My mother-in-law is here, so we have to be wise."
Xihe was speechless immediately. He didn't expect Old Man Jiang to be so transparent.
That night, Mrs. Xu cooked a large table full of dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. When the sound of firecrackers rang out in every household in Taomu Village, the three of them also lit up the firecrackers.
Mr. Jiang kept looking outside the door. Whenever a child knocked on the door, he would immediately run over and open the door.
The doll with pigtails smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, happy New Year~"
The old man's expression of surprise immediately dropped, but he smiled and grabbed a handful of fruits and stuffed them in: "Hey, have a good New Year, little Shuanzi, and you will grow taller next year~"
The door closed, and he sat back down and looked outside the door.
Xihe rolled his eyes. He obviously said that he wanted to be sensible, but in the end he just stared at it... Dong Dong Dong, there was a knock on the door.
Xihe stood up and opened the door.
Squeak, the door opened, and Xihe was stunned when he saw the person: "Are you... Xiaowu?"
The attendant in black handed the box over: "Miss Yue'er, my young master asked me to send this to you. I wish you a happy new year."
Xihe took it and opened it. Various dim sum dishes were still hot.
A smile broke out on her face: "Thank you eldest son for me, and wish him a happy New Year."
The attendant in black smiled, leaned over and saluted, turned around, got on his horse and quickly disappeared into the night.
Xihe stood at the door for a while before returning to the house.
After all, Mr. Jiang was getting too old and couldn't bear it anymore, so he went back to his room to rest after a while.
Xihe saw that Mrs. Xu was too sleepy, so he drove her to rest and kept vigil all night. It was snowing outside, and the charcoal fire was burning in the house, which was warm and dim, and the candlelight was dim.
Xihe was eating dried fruits and reading a storybook, and unconsciously fell asleep by the candlelight.
When she woke up again, she found someone covering her with a quilt. Xihe opened her eyes and saw a handsome side face. She blinked: "Why are you back?"
Song Yu raised his head: "Tell your parents and then come back."
He sat down on the stool and poured a cup of hot tea for Xihe. Xihe took it and found that Song Yu was wearing a black and red robe and a big cloak tonight, and he was particularly handsome.
Xihe suddenly couldn't remember the first time he saw him.
She took a sip of tea and said, "Grandpa has been waiting for you."
Song Yu's eyebrows softened instantly: "Grandpa has always been like this. Although he doesn't say it, he will always remember it in his heart." So he came back as soon as he finished his work.
Xihe thought to himself, Mrs. Song is probably going to be angry to death due to your filial piety.
At this time in his previous life, Mr. Jiang was long gone. Song Yu had no worries. After entering the Song Mansion, he became a member of the Song Mansion.
But this time, because she found the person in advance, Song Yu was delayed by various things and did not go into the mountains to hunt big insects.
Mr. Jiang didn't go into the mountains alone on crutches to look for someone because he was worried about his grandson who had never returned. He didn't break his leg, and he didn't freeze to death because he screamed that no one was around... Song Yu didn't lose a close relative, and gained something. Got more relatives.
Xihe thought that when Song Yu married Shen Piaopiao again, everything would be perfect.
Thinking of Shen Piaopiao, Xihe asked curiously: "How are you and Miss Shen doing?"
Song Yu: "..."
He looked at Xihe and said nothing.
Xihe blinked, a little strange: "What's wrong? Is there still no progress?" That shouldn't be the case. Considering the fate between him and Shen Piaopiao, he should have become interested in each other at this time.
Song Yu frowned: "Why are you so persistent with me and Miss Shen?"
"Why do you think we will definitely be together? Besides, Yue'er, you are also a girl. Isn't it inappropriate to always bring a girl and a man together like this?"
Xihe's eyes suddenly widened: "I, I'm only talking to you."
She just thought that the two people were familiar with each other before she said it. If it were an outsider, she would definitely not say it. Xihe felt that she was still too relaxed and forgot that this was ancient times.
Xihe unconsciously clenched the blanket tightly: "I'm sorry, I won't say anything anymore."
Song Yu nodded: "That's very good."
Xihe: "..."
emmm, you really shouldn’t relax too much.
Xihe suddenly felt that the air in the room was very stuffy, and stood up: "Well, I'm a little sleepy, so I'm going to rest first. If you're tired, you can go and rest too."
He rolled up the blanket and hurried past Song Yu, but someone grabbed his hand.
Xihe pulled it, but it didn't move.
She raised her head: "What's wrong?"
