Rong Ci turned red when he saw her face. He was at a loss for a moment and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't dare to laugh, for fear of offending her. He had to sleep in the study tonight.
So he endured it, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and added something to her: "That's true. We are not in a hurry. We will talk about the child in two years. Thank you sister-in-law for your care for us."
Mrs. Wen didn't expect them to come here now, and she heard them talking about their children. She was a little embarrassed, so she kept her mouth shut.
Xie Yixiao puffed up his cheeks, took a deep breath, and dropped the topic.
At Shenshi, the Xie family opened two banquets for Xie Yixiao's birthday, with men and women sitting at one table each.
Mingshi had asked Xie Yixiao before if she could celebrate her birthday. Xie Yixiao thought it was really troublesome. It's not like she was celebrating her birthday when she was seventy or eighty. It was just a matter of having a meal together with her family, and no one in the Rong family loved her.
On birthdays, if it’s a birthday, we’ll give each other gifts and then have a meal together and that’s it.
So today, apart from Xie Jin, his wife and Xie Yiling, it was just these people from my family.
Xie Jin and Mr. Wen said their goodbyes and left after having dinner, while Xie Yiling stayed and went to the Lantern Night Market with Rong's family at night. Rong Jing, Rong Xuan and the others also went there after a while.
Before setting off, Xie Yixiao also told Xie Yiling: "You will play with Rong Jing Rongxuan and the others at night. You must follow them closely and don't run around by yourself."
Xie Yiling blinked: "Sister, aren't you with us?"
Xie Yixiao reached out and patted his shoulder: "When I go, I will go with you. Naturally, we have to separate when we play. You three play with you, just bring a guard. Your brother-in-law and I will not play with you.
Together."
Xie Yiling: "...But I originally wanted to go shopping with Sister!"
Otherwise, why would he come to Duke Rong's mansion? Wouldn't it be fun to hang out with the sons of the Xie family? Although he has a good relationship with the Rong brothers, he also has a good relationship with his own brothers and sisters!
Xie Yixiao glanced at Rong Ci and saw him looking over with soft eyes. He smiled and turned to his younger brother: "But your sister and your brother-in-law want to get along more and develop a relationship. You also want me to
You two have a good relationship, right?"
So, my brother, you can go play by yourself and don’t be an eyesore.
Do you want to leave them behind and go play on your own?
The corner of Xie Yiling's mouth twitched. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He snorted arrogantly: "I think before, my brother must have been the first in your heart. Sure enough, after you got married, you only cared about my brother-in-law.
There is no place for a younger brother anymore."
I really want to beat up a guy like my brother-in-law.
Xie Yixiao patted his head and coaxed falsely: "Who said that? You are my only brother. You must be the first in my heart. You are as important as your brother-in-law."
"But your brother-in-law probably won't have much free time after he has arranged a new errand for a while, so why don't you ask him to spend more time with me?"
Xie Yiling felt a little better after hearing this explanation, but he was still a little dissatisfied. He muttered: "Sister, even if you want to coax me, should your expression be more sincere? This is too fake."
Xie Yi smiled twice: "My brother, your brother-in-law and I have thought about a world of two. How about you, how about you play with Rong Jing, Rong Xuan and the others later?"
"That's all, then I will not disturb you."
"Thank you so much, young master, for your kindness."
At this moment, the carriage arrived. Xie Yixiao asked Xie Yiling and Rong Jingrongxuan to take a carriage, and told them: "There are many people outside, so don't run around and ask the guards to follow closely."
"I know, sister."
"I know, little aunt."
"Have fun." Xie Yixiao told the guards a few more words, asking them to keep an eye on the three boys, and then he and Rong Ci got on the carriage. As soon as they sat down, the carriage staggered forward.
The setting sun faded away its last light, and twilight fell on the world. One after another, the streets were lit with lanterns, illuminating the entire imperial city. When viewed from a high place, one can see thousands of human lights.
The sun set when we set off, and it was already dark when we arrived near Bibo Lake. The group got off the carriage, and after the three boys left, Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao took the people to the lake. Today they also
I rented a painting boat and planned to cruise around the lake to enjoy the scenery.
Xie Yixiao snickered: "If the three of them knew that we were going to the lake without them, I'm afraid they would be so angry that they would jump up."
The lights on both sides of the bank were reflected in the lake, illuminating a human world. She tilted her head slightly, smiling with her eyebrows crooked, like a little fox who always succeeded, cunning and cute, and her eyes reflected the lights, as if there was a ball of bright light.
, burning bright.
Seeing the tenderness in his heart, Rong Ci also nodded with a smile: "So what if you jump up in anger, you should take care of them later."
These three boys are all very noisy. If they don't tidy up, they won't know why the flowers are so red.
Xie Yi smiled and tugged at his sleeves, and said amusedly: "Hey, is this what you do to your uncle and brother-in-law, and you just want to deal with them?"
"Is it possible? Didn't you tell me, madam? When trees grow wildly, they need to be trimmed and trimmed so that they don't grow crookedly."
"That's true." Xie Yixiao silently lit the candle for the three boys, feeling that their carefree days would be gone forever.
"We're here, be careful of the steps."
Xie Yi smiled and lowered his head when he heard the sound, and walked down the steps with his skirt slightly lifted. At this moment, there was a small painting boat parked by the water. The painting boat was not big, but it was very delicate. The Accord above it stood on the deck.
Lanterns and gauze curtains were hung on all sides under the eaves.
"Be careful." Rong Ci walked in front, reaching out to help her walk across the plank and onto the boat.
Although the wooden planks were very stable, the feeling of stepping on the boat when it was floating on the water was different. Xie Yixiao was a little nervous, but he quickly walked over and got on the painting boat.
After they got on the boat and sat down at a tea table in the elegant pavilion, someone shouted and rocked the boat toward the lake.
Xie Yixiao was a little uncomfortable with the boat walking on the water, and her feet were a little buoyant at first. However, she lived in the south in her previous life and occasionally took a boat. It took about a cup of tea to get used to it.
She asked Rong Ci: "Where is our ship going?"
"Follow the water flow all the way down, and soon you can see the scenery on both sides of Bibo Lake, as well as Fan Yue Tower and Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower."
"Really?" Xie Yixiao's eyes lit up, "Today Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower has also prepared a performance on the lake. I don't know the details."
Originally, she planned to watch the performance at Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower, but he said he wanted to go on a lake tour. She also thought the lake tour was more interesting, so she came here.
