It seemed that I hadn't been sleeping for long, and someone took her hand, and then my aunt helped her up and my sister brought her medicine.

It was dark and the snow was still falling. Xiao Yuan leaned on the couch, holding the book in his hand, but his phoenix eyes looked out the window. His black eyes reflected the soft light, like the lake water covered by morning light, under the clear surface, there was a bottom that no one could see through.

The sound of Ge Jin's brisk footsteps came from the yard, Xiao Yuan closed his eyes and flipped through a page of the book.

"Young Master, just now the Jiang family sent a message. The fifth girl accidentally felt a cold and fell ill shortly after entering the mansion."

Ge Jin walked to the copper stove in three or two steps, and replied while baking his hands. He opened his mouth and exhaled a ball of white air.

Shortly after the master came over, he put a spy in the Jiang family. Ge Jin thought, given the relationship between the master and the Jiang family now, if Miss Xie Wu did not come to Xi'an, then spy in the air would probably not be of use.

She is sick?

Xiao Yuan's eyelashes trembled, and his eyes turned around Ge Jin's boots without saying a word.

Ge Jin knew that his master was just unwilling to show his concern for Miss Xie Wu. In fact, he was thinking very much, so he started to talk to himself, "Oh, Miss Five and the others are really pitiful. The family is different from each other. The Xie family has no relatives who really care about them. Soon after he returned, he rushed back thousands of miles away. If something happened to Lord Xie, the Xie family probably wouldn't pick them up to Beijing."

Through the Jiang family, even if they don’t know the specifics of the matters of the Xie family, they can guess it.

However, for the master, the Xie family's misfortune was his chance.

The master cannot return to the capital in a short time, and the fifth girl of the Xie family probably will have to live in Xi'an for a long time. If we say that we have been together at the beginning of the year, it means that the two are destined to be together. Now this fuss is a marriage that is a thousand miles apart? The master really likes others, when will he wait until he doesn't take action?

Ge Jin looked at the master on the warm kang with his eyes, hoping that his master would hear what he meant.

"Go out." Xiao Yuan's expression was as calm as usual and continued reading.

Ge Jin glanced secretly, unable to see the master's thoughts, so he shook his head and stepped back.

The man left, Xiao Yuan recalled what his confidant said just now, and looked up at the bird cage on the kang table.

It was cold, and the yellow orioles were lazily curled up. When they saw the owner looking over, they screamed softly, which was crisp and nice.

Xiao Yuan was distracted.

She left in April, and it has been more than half a year since now.

To be honest, he could no longer remember her appearance. Occasionally, he would dream of her in his dream, but he was only sure that the girl who appeared in his dream was her, but his face was like a layer of fog. Looking at the flowers in the fog, what could he see? His voice was illusory, and there was no definite memory in and outside the dream. He only knew that he had been obsessed with her voice.

After the New Year, she will be fourteen, and her appearance will definitely change, but has her voice changed too?

After all, he was a girl who was once impressed, and he really wanted to see her again.

But he could not and had no reason to take the initiative to look for her. If he is destined to be, he would meet her again.

The disease came like a mountain of fallen, and the disease was like a thread being pulled. Xie Lanyin's disease was cured for seven or eight days before she completely recovered her spirits.

But she thought it was cold outside and didn't want to go anywhere. She stayed in the house and played chess with the maids to pass the time. She was willing to go out whenever she was warm and windless.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family was watching the New Year together. Xie Lanyin sat next to her mother, watching her uncle's family reunion, and thought of her father and sister who were far away from the sky, she cried secretly. She was obviously sleepy when she was in the middle of the year, but she tossed and turned when she returned to Yaoyue Pavilion and couldn't sleep for a long time.

I don't have much energy after the New Year.

The little cousin was thinking about kissing, Jiang Huaizhou felt distressed and tried every means to make her happy. The 15th day of the 15th was about to begin, Jiang Huaizhou carried a lantern he made to instigate the little cousin, "Starting tomorrow night, there will be three consecutive lantern festivals, and several shops in our house guess the riddles and give the lottery. Should Lanyin go and see the fun?"

Xie Lanyin was afraid of the cold in the northwest, so she was lazy during the day and didn't want to go out at night. She turned around with the lantern given by her cousin and shook her head.

"Then I won't give it to you." Jiang Huaizhou learned how she was angry and snatched the lantern back.

Xie Lanyin couldn't help laughing, and then snorted: "The lanterns made by my third cousin are not good at all, so I'm worried about how to refuse."

The little girl is the most annoying, Jiang Huaizhou stretches out his hand to pinch her nose.

The cousin and sister started to make a fuss. Jiang Huaizhou quickly begged for mercy, obediently made a fuss for his little cousin, and advised again: "Lanyin, go ahead, my cousin carefully prepared a gift for you, keep it safe. This is your most unforgettable Chinese New Year. Just give me some face and don't let my cousin waste your time?"

He wanted to make his cousin happy and become that innocent and carefree girl.

He said it too sincerely, and Xie Lanyin was slightly moved, "You can tell me what kind of gift it is first."

Why doesn’t she understand her cousin’s painstaking efforts?

Seeing that she was shaken, Jiang Huaizhou pretended to be mysterious and smiled and turned around the lantern she was carrying, "Lanyin will follow me tomorrow, and you will know when the time comes. If you don't like it, I promise to give you another gift, as long as my cousin can afford it, you can choose it."

Xie Lanyin smiled. Her peach blossom eyes were moist and she was satisfied with the care of others. "Since my third cousin was so enthusiastic, I'll go and have a look." After saying that, I recalled the robbery of the thief, and it was easier to have accidents during such lively occasions. Xie Lanyin reminded him with lingering fear, "How many more people should we bring this time?"

The little girl was scared. Jiang Huaizhou felt distressed and touched her head and said, "This time we will stay in our own shop, not walking on the street, but going back and forth to ride the carriage, and nothing will happen."

Xie Lanyin was relieved when he made a good arrangement.

The next day, Jiang Huaizhou went to discuss with his aunt again. When Jiang heard that his two nephews were with him, he was only at his own shop, and nodded. When the children went out at dusk, she gathered the plum red fox-haired cloak for her little daughter and gently reminded her, "Follow your cousin, it's cold at night, come back early."

Xie Lanyin was well-behaved and followed her sister onto the carriage. Jiang Xingzhou and Jiang Huaizhou rode their horses and went to the Shuangfeng Pavilion of the Jiang family.

Shuangfeng Pavilion is now under the care of Jiang Huaizhou. It is two shops opposite one street. The South Street sells powder and spices and gold and silver jewelry on the North Street. It is the most popular place for wealthy wives in Xi'an City.

The richer the richer the lottery, the more abundant it will be. In addition, Jiang Huaizhou has already built up the momentum. Before the lantern festival officially began, the neighborhood of Shuangfeng Pavilion was surrounded by people, all of whom were watching the fun. There were too many people, making it difficult for the carriage to pass.

"Go to the back street, let's go in through the back door." At the intersection of the street, Jiang Huaizhou looked at the crowded crowds over there and ordered the coachman to tell the driver. After speaking, he turned around and ran into two acquaintances.

"Brother Yuan!" Jiang Huaizhou called out in surprise, immediately dismounted and went forward to say hello, "Brother Yuan is here to win the lottery, right?"

Xiao Yuan was wearing a blue round-necked brocade robe, his eyes swept over the people in front of Shuangfeng Pavilion, and said with a smile: "So many people are afraid it will be difficult to win."

A clear and low voice drifted into the car window not far away.
