Chapter 36

The courtyard is filled with colorful lanterns and the wall is covered with red silk pieces. The servants are busy inside and outside, with noisy voices and laughter.

The doors were all pasted with the words "Fu" on a red background. The whole courtyard looked extremely festive. Li Miaoyi couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere. She stood quietly in the courtyard and looked at the busy people around her. She was covered in tender pink. The cloak makes the whole person look as delicate and beautiful as the lotus buds.

This was what Song Yanxing saw when he came in. Song Yanxing was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Song." Because tonight is New Year's Eve, Li Miaoyi is particularly happy today, and her whole person looks beaming with joy.

Song Yanxing was inevitably affected by this, and looked at Li Miaoyi with curled lips.

The two haven't seen each other for several days. This is different from in Changping, where everything is under Song Yanxing's control. After all, this is Jiang Yunsong's mansion. There are many people and it is not suitable for two unmarried men and women to be too crowded. Meet.

The two wanted to avoid suspicion, but also because of the strange atmosphere between them that day.

Li Miaoyi entered the hall one step ahead of Song Yanxing. In the hall, Jiang Yunsong was wearing a black-bottomed red robe with dark patterns. The moment he saw Li Miaoyi and Song Yanxing, the old man looked happy, squinted his eyes and said, "Here we come."

"Grandfather."

The old man nodded and turned to look at Song Yanxing, "Lang Xing is here too."

Song Yanxing bowed to Jiang Yunsong and said hello.

One is his most proud disciple, and the other is his most beloved granddaughter. How can anyone not be happy to spend New Year's Eve with him.

After a while, when the three of them were seated, the maids came in an endless stream and brought out the New Year's Eve dinner in an orderly manner.

Chicken, duck, and fish are all available. For Jiang Yunsong, who has always been thrifty, today's meal is already very rich.

After dinner, it is time to watch the New Year's Eve. This is a custom in Dongling. Every year on the New Year's Day, the whole family will sit together.

The difference from when he was a child is that now besides his grandfather, there is also Song Yanxing.

The three of them moved to the small round table, which was filled with fruits and refreshments.

"This year is about to pass again." Li Miaoyi sighed.

Jiang Yunsong felt this and said, "My grandfather has not stayed with Wanwan for ten years."

ten years.

Li Miaoyi didn't even know how she came to be here in the ten years since Jiang Yunsong left the capital.

Thinking of this, Li Miaoyi couldn't help biting her lower lip, not anymore, never again, she would never let others bully her again, and she would never give in to others.

Seeing that both of them were in a low mood, Song Yanxing hurriedly came out to smooth things over, picked up a delicate pear-shaped pastry on the table and said, "Teacher, where did you hire the pastry chef to make it so exquisite?"

Jiang Yunsong smiled and said, "I did this."

Song Yanxing raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Teacher actually has such skills."

Jiang Yunsong seemed to be lost in memories and said slowly, "My skills are not even one-tenth of Wanwan's grandmother's."

Song Yanxing has no memory of Jiang Yunsong's wife. It is said that she passed away very early and Song Yanxing has never seen her.

But I heard that Jiang Yunsong was very kind to his wife and would only marry this one wife for the rest of his life. Even if it was passed down from generation to generation and there was no one to carry on the family line, he never married another.

Even though she passed away for decades, she still did not renew her relationship. On this point, Song Yanxing admired Jiang Yunsong from the bottom of his heart.

Li Miaoyi was afraid that Jiang Yunsong would be sad when he thought about his wife, so she changed the subject and said, "Grandpa, try the mung bean cake I made today."

The corners of Li Miaoyi's lips curled up, a smile reaching her eyes. She picked up the cake in front of her and placed it in front of Jiang Yunsong.

Jiang Yunsong politely picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and said happily, "Wanwan has really grown into a big girl now, she has such skills."

After a pause, Jiang Yunsong suddenly joked, "Wanwan can get married now." "Grandpa." Hearing this, Li Miaoyi looked shy and lowered her head.

"I think that boy from the Xie family is pretty good. He came to visit my grandfather a few days ago. After so many years, he is a good and filial boy."

As soon as these words came out, Song Yanxing's face froze.

Jiang Yunsong continued, "Didn't you love hanging out with the Xie family boys the most when you were a kid? It would be suitable for you to be together."

At this time, Li Miaoyi's expression also froze. She glanced at Song Yanxing secretly and saw that Song Yanxing's expression was as usual. Li Miaoyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly explained, "Grandpa, don't make random jokes. We haven't seen each other for many years. We are just childhood friends."

Jiang Yunsong smiled and said nothing.

"Bam—"

Beautiful flower clusters bloomed outside the window, and bustling fireworks flew all over the sky, turning into golden rain and spilling down, blooming with fleeting beauty.

The three people's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the fireworks outside the window.

This is the atmosphere of New Year's Eve. Jiang Yunsong picked up the wine glass and said, "The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. I wish you two good luck in the coming year."

Li Miaoyi and Song Yanxing raised their wine glasses at the same time and toasted to Jiang Yunsong.

"I wish you good health, grandpa."

"I wish you all the best, teacher."

"Good, good, good."

After finishing speaking, the three of them drank it all in one gulp.

This is the most comfortable year that Li Miaoyi has experienced in the past ten years.

When he went to the capital, Li Muqing always accompanied his concubine to celebrate the New Year, and Mrs. Li Jiang always looked forward to Li Muqing's arrival every year.

But Li Muqing never came, and Li Jiangshi was always depressed.

Mother's mood will always affect her children, so every time Li Miaoyi looks at Li Jiangshi, she feels unhappy, and mother and daughter stay silent without saying a word.

Thinking of this, Li Miaoyi couldn't help but think of Li Jiangshi who was thousands of miles away. She didn't know how Li Jiangshi was doing now. Li Miaoyi thought that Li Jiangshi would be very lonely now that she was not by her side.

For a moment, Li Miaoyi felt a little depressed.

After sitting in the middle of the night, Li Miaoyi couldn't hold it any longer. She was already a little tired. Li Miaoyi was lying on the table, her eyes seemed to be closed.

Jiang Yunsong was getting older and started to take a nap at this time. His upper eyelids kept fighting with his lower eyelids, and he also fell on the table.

Song Yanxing laughed. He thought the grandfather and grandson were quite interesting. Even their napping postures were exactly the same.

Li Miaoyi's eyes were closed quietly, and there was a shadow under her long and narrow eyelashes. The night wind blew, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Song Yanxing couldn't help but be fascinated for a moment.

"Hmm -" Li Miaoyi snorted softly.

It was this sound that brought Song Yanxing back to his senses completely. Song Yanxing's eyes darkened slightly and he lowered his head.

There was a thought in Song Yanxing's mind over and over again. It was as if a huge stone had been pressed down on his heart, making him breathless. After thinking about it in countless ways, Song Yanxing gradually calmed down, but the thoughts in his mind still lingered.
