When Shen Qiyin was forcibly abducted into the carriage, he was indeed frightened at first.
But she didn't struggle.
She was brought onto the carriage with her mouth covered from behind, so she had no idea what was waiting for her in the carriage. When she was not sure how many people were on the other side, she would not rashly reveal her cards.
And when the other party finally released his grip on her, her "trump card" seemed to be of no use.
Shen Qiyin looked at the "well-behaved" man opposite her, and some dangerous thoughts of murder and arson came to her mind: "Can't you use a normal way to show up?"
Or he would smash her window with something in the middle of the night like a ghost.
Or they would kidnap her along the way like bandits.
Xiao Yan held her hand and squeezed it gently: "Just teasing you."
After saying that, he asked her without knowing the situation: "Isn't it fun?"
Shen Qiyin: “…”
She had a fake smile on her face: "This is so funny!"
Xiao Yan looked at her with a smile on his face and felt that her weird little look was very vivid.
"If you capture me like this, Chunsheng and Xianglan won't be able to find me later, and they will be worried."
"I've sent someone to tell them," he replied, brushing the snow off her cloak.
Actually, he has been here for a while.
But seeing that they were having fun, I didn't disturb them.
While the two were talking, the carriage stopped in an alley, and the surroundings became gradually quiet, with only the occasional sound of firecrackers in the distance.
The carriage Xiao Yan was riding in today was completely different from the one he had prepared for Shen Qiyin before.
This carriage is like the offspring of that carriage.
Due to limited space, the two of them were very close to each other.
The white sandalwood scent on Shen Qiyin's body carried a hint of winter frost, lingering around his nose like a huge net, enveloping him entirely.
And he surrendered willingly.
Shen Qiyin looked at the half of his face that was exposed without the mask, which was white and clean, like a piece of jade, and was very happy. Her heart felt itchy as if a kitten's paw was scratching it.
So, she followed her heart and stretched out her "evil" little claws.
She hugged Xiao Yan's thin waist.
The latter stiffened.
The red is warm.
Shen Qiyin stared at his engorged neck, her curiosity piqued. She spoke without thinking, and said directly: "Xiao Hanyu, your face and neck turn red when you are shy, so what about your body?"
"Will it become pink and tender like what's written in the book?"
Xiao Yan turned and looked at her.
Her face was clearly a shade redder than before, but her eyes, which had been wavering just now, became strangely calm.
Kind of...
I was so embarrassed that I felt shameless.
He lowered his head slightly, his dark eyes reflecting her figure: “What kind of book did Yinyin read that would make her write these things?”
Shen Qiyin answered seriously: "Medical books."
"Otherwise, what kind of book do you think it is?"
Xiao Yan pursed his lips and was very honest: "...I thought they were those improper books."
"Oh, there are some indecent ones, of course."
"..."
"Who would watch this seriously?"
"..."
It turned out that Shen Qiyin was more honest than him.
And God's reward for the honest child is that she can hug a handsome man and do whatever she wants.
The restless little hands pinched Xiao Yan's waist here and there, and asked him distractedly: "Today is New Year's Eve, how come you still have time to come out?"
The Duke's Mansion is large and wealthy, so they will probably be very busy preparing for the New Year's Eve family dinner.
Xiao Yan tried his best to ignore the hands that were messing around his waist, looked at the food box at his feet, and said, "I'll give you something delicious."
"that's it?"
"that's it."
Thinking of something, he asked her, "Are you staying up tonight at the clinic?"
"Ah."
"Okay." He rubbed her head and kissed her hair: "I'll come to see you in the evening."
Hearing this, Shen Qiyin raised his head from his arms and said in surprise: "Come to see me?!"
Then he tilted his head, all puzzled: "What?"
Xiao Yan: "…Happy New Year."
He imitated her fake smile: "Is it okay?"
Miss Shen was always sarcastic to others, and now it was her turn to be sarcastic, so she could naturally hear it, so she quickly tried to comfort others with her strong desire to survive.
"Of course I'm happy that you're here to celebrate the New Year with me. I'm just worried that you'll be embarrassed if you miss the family dinner."
"It's not difficult."
How could they be compared with his family!
If he had not been worried about being suddenly called into the palace by the one in the palace, he would not have needed to pretend to be sick and sneak out to see her secretly.
Fearing that he might be discovered if he stayed out for too long, Xiao Yan ordered the carriage to be driven to the back alley of Guangrentang. After dropping off Shen Qiyin, he returned to the Duke's Mansion.
According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, most family dinners on New Year’s Eve are scheduled at 3:00 p.m.
After a short rest after the meal, we prepared dumplings to be eaten during the New Year's Eve.
Before the banquet, Chunsheng went to Aunt Cui again, wanting to ask her to come over and celebrate the New Year with them.
The result was the same as when I went there in the morning. No one was home and I didn't know where she had gone.
She didn't come back until the evening when they were preparing to make dumplings.
Chunsheng guessed, "Maybe he went to his relatives' house to celebrate the New Year."
Chu Taoning was puzzled: "I have lived next door to Aunt Cui for so many years, and I have never seen her interact with any relatives."
She has no other family.
When Chu Taoning was learning how to make incense from her, the two of them were chatting, and she once heard Aunt Cui inadvertently mention that she had two sons, but both had passed away.
"but……"
Chu Taoning suddenly remembered something and said, "She would occasionally leave for a few days before, and she once asked me to take care of the geese she raised."
"But where she went and what she did, I don't know."
"She just said she had something to go out for, so I didn't ask any more questions."
She doesn't like to pry into other people's affairs.
After hearing this, Da Zhuang comforted her and said, "Mrs. Cui is kind-hearted and won't easily make enemies. Besides, you live next door to her. If something really happened to her, you would definitely not have heard of it."
"It's probably like before. She's going to do her own thing and will be back when she's done."
"I saw her the other day. Let's wait for two more days. If she still doesn't come back, I'll ask the government officials to help look for her."
Chu Taoning nodded: "Okay."
Shen Qiyin originally thought that since Xiao Yan had many guards under his command, she could ask him to help find someone. However, when the prince came, she forgot about this.
because of her……
Drink. Too. Much!
Normally, Da Zhuang would not allow Shen Qiyin and Chunsheng to drink, but it was New Year's Day after all.
Shen Qiyin is staying here again tonight, so there is no need to worry that she will have a hard time explaining to her family when she returns.
As for Chunsheng, he is one year older and we can’t always treat him as a child.
Wei Zhao and Si Tunan happened to come as well.
Actually, Wei Zhao originally wanted to celebrate the New Year with them, but he couldn't bear to make Old Madam Wei sad, so he didn't come at first.
But the old lady was old and could not stay up that late, so she symbolically ate some dumplings and went to bed. He then hurried over on his horse.
Si Tunan's situation is similar to his.
He spent the New Year at Mr. Wu's home.
Mr. Wu's wife was not feeling well and could not stay up late, so she went to bed early. Si Tunan felt bored staying alone, so he ran back.
Seeing that so many people were present, Xianglan suggested playing a game of "counting frogs".
A group of people sat together, saying commands one by one.
"A frog, one mouth, two eyes, and four legs."
"Two frogs, two mouths, four eyes, and eight legs."
……
Whoever's turn it is, counts out one item.
Chunsheng and Situnan are still too young, so if they lose, they will have to perform a talent show.
It was also Xianglan’s idea.
If the others lose, they will be fined a glass of wine.
Then Shen Qiyin started drinking.
The more you drink, the more confused your mind becomes. The more confused you become, the more you make mistakes in counting. The more you make mistakes in counting, the more you drink. The more you drink, the more confused your mind becomes... and finally the loop is closed.
In fact, others lose too.
For example, Chu Taoning.
But as the saying goes, "Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge the depth of the sea by a bucket." Although Miss Chu is silent, she can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
After drinking a pot of wine, her expression didn't change at all.
Unlike Shen Qiyin, her entire face was flushed, even her ears. Under the candlelight, her earlobes looked like two ripe cherries.
She sat on a small stool with her knees bent, and Ah Huang leaned at her feet, warming himself by the fire with her.
When Xiao Yan arrived, he saw such a peaceful and harmonious scene.
He half-knelt in front of her and called her softly, "Yinyin?"
Shen Qiyin looked at him slowly, like a cat that had just woken up and was still feeling lazy.
The moment their eyes met, Shen Qiyin's originally calm eyes suddenly rippled: "What a handsome young man!"
The prince who was "teased" was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
"Lord Xiao" at least didn't have a name before, but now he doesn't even have a surname.
Xiao Yan looked at her red face and asked her, "How much did you drink?"
"I didn't drink much."
"How much is not drunk?"
"Hmm..." Shen Qiyin thought for a moment and said, "Not more, not less."
Xiao Yan was helpless: "It seems that he is drunk and confused."
"No!" Shen Qiyin immediately retorted: "I didn't tell you on purpose just to get you to talk to me more."
"Why do you want me to talk more?"
"Hey, you have a nice voice. I love it."
She smiled secretly with her lips pursed, her eyes sparkling, as if she was a little embarrassed, but she still mustered up the courage to ask him: "By the way, which family are you from? Are you married?"
"Not married yet, but engaged."
"Ah..." She looked regretful: "Then I have no chance."
"That may not be the case." Xiao Yan suggested seriously, "Maybe if you fight for me, I will be captured by you."
"Still want to fight? Then I don't want it anymore."
"Then there's no need to argue. I'll just go with you. Do you want that?"
"Then I can't have him!" Shen Qiyin had a look on her face that said "Don't try to fool me." "How can a man who just follows someone just by beckoning him a finger be a good person?"
"..."
"Besides, you already have a wife who's not married yet, I don't want to get involved with you." She said confidently: "Xianglan told me that men are like treasures before you sleep with them, but they are just weeds after you sleep with them."
"In that case, there are always better places to go. Of course, I'll go find other treasures!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room seemed to suddenly become a little chillier.
Wei Zhao and Rendong all looked at Xianglan, the culprit, only to see that the latter was still holding a jar of wine and grinning foolishly.
Da Zhuang quickly arranged for the rest of the people to "retreat".
The others were easy to deal with, except Xianglan, who got drunk and was acting crazy, twisting and singing with a corn cob in her hand. Neither Rendong nor Chu Taoning could control her.
"Yinyin is just a little loser, she has a strong addiction to being a wimp, hahahaha..."
"The nightlife has just begun, everyone get up and have fun!"
She stood on the snow pile at the foot of the backyard wall and said loudly: "The bigger your heart is, the bigger the stage will be!"
"Next, I want to sing a song for my best friends..." She pointed at Ren Dong and Chu Tao Ning, and even gestured towards the main hall: "Sing a song."
"This is to commemorate our sisterhood that transcends time and space."
"Understand the applause!"
Honeysuckle held her forehead with her hand: "Does she stop drinking fake wine?"
Chu Taoning shook her head in confusion: "We all drink the same thing."
Xianglan: "The name of the song is, My Good Brother!"
Chu Taoning: "..."
Honeysuckle: “…”
It's not a memorial service... Pah! To commemorate the love between sisters? How did it become "good brothers"?
Xianglan patted the top of the corn cob: "Hey, hey."
"My dear brother, you come home from get off work. You have worked hard all day. Brother, please sit down. Brother, please sit down. Please have a cup of tea. Let me kiss you. Let me kiss you, my dear mother."
Chu Taoning: "..."
Honeysuckle: “…” She wanted to knock her out with a chop, but then she thought better of it since it was New Year’s Day.
Compared to Xianglan's agility, Shen Qiyin is much quieter.
Of course, quiet does not mean peace of mind.
After she finished saying that, she didn't realize there was anything wrong with it, and even asked Xiao Yan, "Why aren't you smiling?"
"Yinyin is going to look for another 'treasure', how can I still laugh?"
Shen Qiyin read it but did not reply.
She held her chin with both hands and stared at him quietly. After a while, she suddenly asked him, "Why do you wear a mask on your face?"
"got used to."
"I want to see it." She blinked her wet eyes and looked at him. Even her voice was soft and pleading: "Can I?"
"With conditions."
"what?"
Xiao Yan took advantage of the situation and said, "Look first, then talk."
"You're a nice person." Shen Qiyin was in a daze and didn't expect so much. Xiao Yan asked her to look first, and she took off his mask without hesitation.
In the light of the fire, it was a face that was breathtakingly beautiful.
Shen Qiyin stared at it intently, and said in a daze: "You may not find grass like this anywhere else..."
Xiao Yan chuckled: "Then why don't you take me off and take me home to hide privately?"
Shen Qiyin started to read and reply randomly again: "Why do I feel that you look so familiar?"
"Looks like someone I met before."
"Who was it..." She stroked her chin and thought carefully: "Oh, right! It's the Imperial Concubine!"
