After Xie Niannian made his wish, he opened his eyes, just in time to see the setting sun, and the monks lighting the lamps walked from the street to the end of the street.

Thousands of lights came on one after another, under the warm yellow light, even the white snow lost its coldness, like warm and soft cotton.

The people around her were holding the rabbit in one hand and the sugar-fried chestnuts that Xie Niannian hadn't finished eating in the other, watching her quietly.

"What kind of god is the time traveler?"

Rabbits and snacks are completely inconsistent with Chi Qing's temperament, and successfully made Xie Niannian giggle: "It's not important."

Seeing this, Chi Qing lowered her eyes helplessly, covering the complicated look in her eyes.

Xie Niannian had never seen Chi Qing show such an expression before, so she began to try to do reading comprehension. It seemed that she was impatient, or was she restraining something?

Unable to understand, and too lazy to think about it, Xie Niannian took what was in Chi Qing's hand.

"Don't think about it, go home, Duoying is still waiting at home."

But seeing Chi Qing who was not hindered by anything, he stretched out his hand and took Xie Niannian into his arms.The warm breath sprinkled on Xie Niannian's neck, slightly itchy.

Chi Qing's voice was very soft, if it wasn't right next to his ear, Xie Niannian would hardly be able to hear it clearly.

"Silly girl."

Xie Niannian let go, let the bamboo cage fall to the ground, made room to give her a hug back, and was hugged even tighter by this man.

The good times are like this every year, and the sweetheart is still in the world, so why bother to ask for it.

The bamboo cage was broken, but the rabbit was not lost anyway.

Seeing the little white rabbit in Xie Niannian's hands, Die Ying was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Master, do you want to eat rabbit tonight?"

Xie Niannian, who was quite speechless, directly stuffed the little rabbit into Die Ying's arms, seeing that she was in a hurry and didn't know how to hug her, so he squatted down to teach her.

"Give it to you, don't you like it? If you don't like it, you can cook it in a few days."

""

Die Ying didn't speak, just hugged the rabbit and looked at her foolishly, Xie Niannian thought she didn't want to raise it, so he wanted to take the rabbit back.

But before he stretched out his hand, Duoying took a quick step back, protecting the rabbit firmly.

"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to support myself well."

She has never raised this kind of white and soft little thing.

"It's easy to raise, just build a nest for it in a place sheltered from wind and snow, and feed it some vegetable leaves and hay."

Chi Qing added lightly: "Remember to pave the stone slabs, don't let it run around in the yard."

Folding Shadow caressed the rabbit, nodded in response.

When the child was gone, Xie Niannian hugged Chi Qing's arm, leaning himself on her body: "What's wrong, don't you like keeping small animals?"

Dragging the large pendant Xie Niannian, it was very difficult for Chi Qing to walk.

So she simply turned around and pulled her hands away, taking advantage of Xie Niannian's inattention, and directly hugged her horizontally.

Seeing that the person in his arms was terrified by the sudden dizzying, he was hugging himself in panic at this moment.

Chi Qing laughed softly, his tone almost coaxing.

"I only keep you, a little animal."

After Laba is the new year, the new year's festival is approaching, and the whole Fengjing is lively.

Xie Niannian is busy sweeping dust, worshiping the Kitchen God, and preparing new year's goods.

There are neatly stacked Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters on the table, just waiting for someone to paste them.

Candied fruit, melon seeds and walnuts are all placed in small bamboo baskets, and the big fish in the tank are brought home in advance. I don’t know whether my fate will be steamed or braised.

When he first came to this world, Xie Niannian almost thought that this year's New Year's Eve would be spent alone.

But he didn't want that time had changed, and now there was someone by his side, someone who was never expected at the beginning.

Really can not jump to conclusions.

The day before New Year's Eve, Xie Niannian, who was cutting pork belly, didn't know that there was a horse-drawn carriage traveling from south to north, and finally arrived at Fengjing, on its way to Chi's mansion.

Bai Yan cracked melon seeds while chatting with Xie Niannian, the melon seed shells in hand had piled up into a hill.

"The day before yesterday in court, there were people clamoring to find out if Tianshusi was deliberately targeting the Duke's government for personal gain."

"Why are these people so funny? If they really use the public to seek personal gain, I think half of the people in the court will be wiped out by Chi Qing."

After saying that, he patted the melon seed shells off his hands, stretched his waist, and smiled with an indescribable banter at the end of his eyes.

"However, someone actually spoke up for Chi Qing. It's really strange to let those people stop talking nonsense without evidence."

"It should be like this." Xie Niannian didn't raise his head, but the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.She cut the pork belly into thin and suitable slices, ready to stir-fry twice-cooked pork.

After chatting, Bai Yan got up and picked up the candied fruit that Xie Niannian gave him, and waved goodbye to her.

"After today's work is over, I will have a holiday. I hope you don't make trouble for me during the holiday."

"The proprietress has auspicious new year, see you in the coming year."

Xie Niannian nodded and replied with auspicious words, watching people step out of the courtyard.It's just that Bai Yan didn't go out for a long time before falling back again.

"The proprietress is looking for someone at the corner door!"

Xie Niannian was full of doubts, after all, few people would come to Chi's house to pay New Year's greetings.She washed her hands and followed Bai Yan out, wanting to see who it was.

A carriage was parked at the corner gate, and a man in thick clothes was standing beside the carriage with his hands folded.

Seeing someone push the door and come out, he hurried up to meet him: "Excuse me, is Missy here?"

Xie Niannian tilted his head and did not answer.Miss, if he's looking for the right place, is he looking for Chi Qing?

Seeing that Xie Niannian didn't answer, the man was not annoyed, he bowed first and bowed: "I'm from the Chi family in Qingzhou Prefecture, and I'm here to give the New Year's gift by Madam's order."

Qingzhou Mansion, Chi Family?Isn't that Chi Qing's clan?Chi Qing never mentioned this matter.

Xie Niannian forgot to blink, subconsciously went to Bai Yan to confirm.

Bai Yan took a look at the people and the carriage, took a look at the jade plaque he handed over, "The three-leaf bamboo pattern is indeed the family crest of the Chi family. It should be fine."

After confirming the identity of the visitor, he left without hesitation, leaving Xie Niannian to look at the person in blank dismay.

Before Xie Niannian could speak, he asked first, "You must be Miss Xie that Miss mentioned?"

"Yes, my name is Xie Niannian."

Her slightly squinted smiling eyes and curled mouth are like spring flowers, very contagious, making people want to have fun together just by looking at them.

So the man also laughed, and bowed to Xie Niannian: "I am Chiran."

After introducing himself, he summoned two servants to carry down the boxes of items and send them to Chi's residence.

Chi Ran stood aside and introduced to Xie Niannian: "These are specially made by my wife for Miss, new clothes for a whole year."

"A copy of the Chi family's account books this year and records of important events are also included."

The boxes sent to Chi's mansion were at least a dozen boxes by eye, Xie Niannian waited patiently for them to move, and just wanted Chi Ran to come in and have a drink of tea.

He personally took out a red sandalwood box, held it carefully in his hand and asked Xie Niannian: "Miss is not in the house?"

"Well, she's out on errands, and she'll probably be back later. Would you like to come in for a tea break?"

Seeing Chi Ran's embarrassed face, Xie Niannian thought he was in a hurry to go back: "Or you put this thing with me and I hand it over to her?"

Chi Ran shook his head, hesitated for a while, and then sighed.

"Madam has ordered that if the box cannot be delivered to Miss by hand, it will be sent directly to the palace."

Having said that, that's the important stuff.Xie Niannian also stopped persuading him, and asked Chi Ran to wait in the mansion.

She made hot tea for people and served tea snacks to fill their stomachs.

Surprised that dim sum and hot tea match so well, Chi Ran ate several pieces even though she wasn't very hungry.

The steaming mist carried the fragrance of tea, and he smiled sincerely: "Miss Xie, go get busy, don't pay too much attention to me."

Xie Niannian was also polite and continued to busy with his own affairs.

On the beautiful gold-sprinkled red letters is the word "Fu" written by Chi Qing himself. Xie Niannian pasted the words on the doors and windows side by side, looking festive.

Coincidentally, as soon as a piece of blessing was pasted on the door of Chi's house, two people walked side by side at the street corner, and among them Chi Qing was the one with downcast eyes listening to someone talking.

And the other person who smiled sweetly was Gu Chen.

Xie Niannian, who was just about to rush over, stopped and began to consider whether he should go back to the house.

She once again sighed that these two people are really scary, they are fighting against each other in private, and they can still discuss things with a smile on their faces.

But she still didn't retreat in the end, and sauntered forward.

Chi Qing glanced at Xie Niannian who was coming here with his hands behind his back in the distance, then turned his head and said to Gu Chen.

"Let's send it here, I will trouble my senior sister to go to the palace banquet on New Year's Eve for me."

Xie Niannian, who "coincidentally" approached, was almost not startled when he heard Chi Qing's name.If she didn't know Chi Qing's temperament, she would have thought that the two had reconciled.

Gu Chen smiled, and seemed to be easy to talk to: "You are welcome, sneaking away at home by yourself, and let me do this kind of errand again."

After seeing her answer, Chi Qing didn't talk any more, and went home with Xie Niannian.

After waiting for a long time, Chi Ran personally handed over the red sandalwood box to Chi Qing, and then got up to leave.

Xie Niannian sent people to the door, and when he turned around, he saw that Chi Qing had opened the box, and what was contained in the high-quality red sandalwood was a neatly folded dress.

Seeing Xie Niannian poking his head to see, Chi Qing took out the skirt and unfolded it,

Qiluoshenghui, Ambilight.

The phoenix birds embroidered on the bright cinnabar red are lifelike and ready to fly.

I don't know what technique Xiuniang used, the feathers of the phoenix bird can reflect five colors under the sunlight.

The silver thread is intertwined and intertwined to form complicated cloud patterns, and after overlapping with the light-colored veil, there is a hazy beauty, which makes people lament the exquisite design.

This dress is delicate and luxurious, Xie Niannian immediately thought of Zhao Zhuoqu when he saw it.

If she was here, she would definitely like it.

After admiring the skirt, she discovered the engraving on the bottom of the box - Zizhufang.

Reminiscent of the complete set of clothes that Chi Ran sent, saying that his wife made it for Chi Qing, Xie Niannian let out a sigh of relief.

She opened a box of clothes, and the coat of arms of Zizhufang was engraved inside the lid.

"You said your family is doing some small business in Qingzhou?"

"Ah."

"You call this a small business?"

Xie Niannian narrowed her eyes, feeling for the first time that this young lady really doesn't know the price.

Qingzhou Zizhufang is the most famous silk and satin workshop in the entire Great Viet Dynasty.

Half of the best embroiderers in Da Viet are in Zizhufang. Its silk and ready-to-wear are exquisite and beautiful. Branches have opened all over the south of the Yangtze River, and there is one in Xuanzhou City.

Xie Niannian also admired the exquisite dark embroidery on Chi Qing's clothes, so it's not surprising now that he knows where it came from.

Chi Qing fumbled all over the dress, and found a letter with perfect sealant from the concealed dark lining.

She put the letter aside, pulled a piece of paper from the table, wrote the words "Congratulations on the New Year", and threw it on the refolded skirt.

It looks very perfunctory.

Xie Niannian watched Chi Qing close the box, then turned around to check the newly delivered clothes: "Is this a dress for Zhao Zhuozhi? How long will it take to make it?"

"For her annual gift, this dress has to be prepared a year in advance."

Chi Qing checked the boxes one by one, and Xie Niannian followed suit. She only looked at one box, and didn't move the others.

So when Chi Qing came out with a skirt with soft fabric and simple embroidery, Xie Niannian thought he was wrong.

No matter how you think about it, this kind of fresh light yellow and water blue will never appear in Chi Qing's clothes.

Xie Niannian's confused appearance caused Chi Qing to mess up her hair: "I asked my aunt to do this. Time is tight, so I made it easier."

"And this." She took out a thick booklet from the lately delivered documents and handed it to Xie Niannian.

Xie Niannian was lured to sit down by Chi Qing while holding the brochure, and when she opened it, she realized that it was full of various patterns of wedding dresses and embroidery patterns that meant beauty.

"The clothes have to be made in advance, so choose them as soon as possible, and then send them to the embroidery workshop for customization."

As soon as she heard about the wedding date, Xie Niannian's ears turned red without knowing it. She casually flipped through a few pages without looking carefully.

But Chi Qing lazily continued talking about her plan.

"The horoscope has already been sent to the ancestral hall, and after the acceptance ceremony, the betrothal gift will be delivered in three days. The wedding date is set on the nearest auspicious day, so it will only take three months at most."

Marriages of aristocratic families often take half a year to a year, but at Chi Qing's place, she abruptly shortened it to three months.

Xie Niannian's face was dull, and he could see a little complacency from Chi Qing's slightly raised mouth: "Then you omit the first five of the six rituals, wouldn't it be faster?"

"No."

Chi Qing's answer was so decisive that Xie Niannian couldn't help but slander, where did this person get so many overly particular habits, it's really troublesome.

She was flipping through the booklet, but her eyes inadvertently caught sight of the letter that was thrown aside by Chi Qing.

Chi Ran's words replayed in her mind instantly, if it could not be handed over to Chi Qing, the skirt and the letter would be sent directly to Zhao Zhuoqu.

Well, the construction period of the skirt is one year.

Xie Niannian gritted his molars, got up abruptly and pinched Chi Qing's neck: "What are you doing in Xuanzhou!"

Even if he was strangled at the fatal point, the people under his hands did not react violently, but instead laughed dotingly.

"Maybe to meet you."
