farmer's wife

Chapter 185 Two people's world
Granny Shi is getting old, she wants to stay in the mansion after the dinner, and not go out with young people to make trouble.

After Fu Yan fed Nuo Nuo, she handed her into Granny Shi's arms.Granny Shi and the little maids were holding toy dolls to attract her attention, while Fu Yan retreated quietly.

Nuo Nuo is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually recognizes people.She was brought up by Fu Yan and Xiao Lie, and she is the most familiar and dependent on her parents.Although I don't think it's okay for someone to hold her and play with her for a while, if she wakes up and doesn't see Fu Yanbian for a long time, she will cry.Even with the familiar Granny Shi coaxing her around.

The child was young and it was cold outside. Fu Yan was worried about taking her out, so she could only play with her at home and come back early.

When Fu Yan came out, Xiao Lie was waiting quietly in the corridor.

Under the flickering candlelight, Xiao Lie's side face flickered bright and dark, but Fu Yan could feel Xiao Lie's deep and gentle eyes focused on her body.

"Brother Alie." Fu Yan walked up to him and called softly.

Xiao Lie took down the cloak in his arms and draped it over her body, and while putting the hood on her, he asked, "Did Nuo Nuo notice that you left?"

"No, Granny Shi is having fun coaxing her."

"Well, then let's go. We saw the fireworks while we were waiting, so let's come back first." Xiao Lie stretched out his big hand to her.

Fu Yan held it, her big hands overlapped her small ones, warmly, "Okay. Where are Uncle and A Jian?"

"I ran out to play with my uncle and princess first."

Wouldn't that be the only two left?The long-lost world of two!

Fu Yan pursed her lips and asked with a smile, "Then we are the only ones left to visit the Lantern Festival together. There are many people on the street, Brother Alie, hold me tight."

Xiao Lie's ears were slightly red, he moved his slender fingers and slowly inserted them between Fu Yan's fingers, and the two of them clasped their fingers together.

Xiao Lie said calmly, "I'm holding on to you, and I won't get separated from you."

Fu Yan shook her crossed arms lightly, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Okay, let's go."

After leaving the mansion, the streets were brightly lit and crowded with people.

Xiao Lie and Fu Yan were not in a hurry, they walked slowly with the flow of people.

When it was time to arrive, Xiao Lie took Fu Yan to ascend the Immortal Tower.

This building has five floors, and it is the tallest restaurant in Yunjing City except for the palace buildings.It is rumored that the fifth prince sent someone to build it, so even if it is difficult to book a wing room in the building today, the dignitaries who came late did not dare to make a lot of noise.

When Xiao Lie and the others came to the Pinglan Pavilion on the fifth floor, Ye Zhuo had already led everyone to sit down, and all the melons, fruits and tea were put on the table.

Seeing Xiao Lie coming in, Ye Zhuo waved to them both with a smile: "Come quickly. If you don't come here again, I will send someone to find you two."

"Someone downstairs is guessing lantern riddles, so let's watch for a while longer." Fu Yan sat beside Qi Tong.

Qi Tong became interested after hearing this, so he turned to look at her and asked, "Oh? Did you two go to guess the riddle?"

Fu Yan replied generously: "No. Neither of us is good at guessing riddles, so watch the fun."

Although Fu Yan has read more books than Xiao Lie, Li Chao is still not good at guessing riddles.

Qi Tong didn't laugh at the two of them, he held Fu Yan's hand and looked at Ye Zhuo with a smile: "You are interested, let the Duke go down and guess the lantern riddles for you to win the lottery."

Fu Yan responded cooperatively, "Is uncle good at guessing lantern riddles?"

Ye Tianze and Xiao Jian also turned their heads to look at Ye Zhuo.

Qi Tong lifted the handkerchief to cover his lips and smiled: "You don't know, when our Duke was young, he was also a great talent in the Imperial College."

When the father was still alive, he once praised Brother Zhuo's literary talents, and said that it was Wenqu Xingxia who would be appointed as a prodigy if the imperial examinations were to take place.It's a pity that when the war broke out, Ye Zhuo abandoned his pen and joined the army and went to the battlefield.

The Imperial Academy of the Li Dynasty had always only recruited the sons of the official families above the fifth rank, but Ye Zhuo was a bastard with few talents, so he was personally recommended by the head of the Siya Academy to the Imperial Academy.Just when the first emperor took the eldest prince to visit the Imperial College, seeing Ye Zhuo's school examination by the masters of the Imperial College, the late emperor cherished his talent, and asked the Imperial College to accept him.

Because of this, Ye Zhuo's fame and talent made the first wife of the Changping uncle's mansion jealous.

Ye Zhuo was watched by all the juniors, and it was rare for him to feel a little embarrassed.He smiled and bowed his hands: "Young and vigorous, don't mention it, don't mention it."

Everyone laughed.

"Bang—bang—slap—"

It was midnight, and gorgeous fireworks were lit outside the house.The explosion of firecrackers spread into the ears of the crowd along with the cheers of pedestrians.Everyone stopped joking and went to the window to watch.

Thousands of miles of red lights, thousands of ringing sounds at the same time, and the new year of Li Dynasty is coming again.

Fu Yan raised her head, coincidentally Xiao Lie was also looking down at her with a smile.The two clasped their fingers again in tacit understanding and silently, covering them under the delicate sleeves.

Feeling the lively atmosphere of the festival, Ye Tianze and Xiao Jian were not sleepy yet, so Ye Zhuo and the others took them downstairs to play again.

But Xiao Lie and Fu Yan stood up and said goodbye.

Fu Yan reluctantly declined Qi Tong's invitation: "I don't know if Nuo Nuo has slept yet, we have to go back and see her first."

Qi Tong sympathized with her as a mother, and said: "Then you two go back first. There are still a few days left for the New Year's celebration in Yunjing, and it's the same when you come out to play tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, brother Alie and I think so too."

After parting from the crowd, Xiao Lie and Fu Yan returned to the Yongyi Mansion.

The porter guarding the gate saw that Master Biao and Mrs. Biao had come back, so he quickly opened the door for them respectfully and welcomed them in.

Xiao Lie took out half a tael of a small silver peg as a reward to the boy, "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, get off duty and go get some wine to drink and warm up."

The servant happily took it with both hands, and bowed to them several times: "Thank you, Master Biao and Madam Biao, for your reward."

The Chinese New Year is really good, the master and the princess are rewarded, the young master Biao is also rewarded, and there are good wine and good food to enjoy, the servant looks at the backs of Xiao Lie and the two walking away and feels very happy.

The world between the two was leisurely and carefree, but when they returned to the mansion, thinking about whether their daughter was asleep or not, Fu Yan couldn't help walking faster.

As soon as he entered the second gate of Qijing Yuan, Nuo Nuo's loud voice came from Granny Shi's room behind.

Fu Yan quickly came to Granny Shi's house, knocked on the door and called out, "Grandma Shi?"

"Hey, Ah Yan is back?"

The little maid came over and opened the door to let her in.

Xiao Lie was waiting outside.

Granny Shi was hugging Nunuuo who was crying loudly as she walked and coaxed her.

Nuo Nuo's voice was quite loud, but there were only a few tears in her eyes.

Fu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked with some distress: "What's the matter?"

Nuo Nuo finally saw her mother, tears rolled down like beans suddenly, she stretched out her hand towards Fu Yan, and said "Mom" in her mouth.

She can't speak yet, but occasionally she can make some breathy sounds similar to her parents.

Fu Yan hugged her into his arms, wiped her tears, and coaxed her, "Mother is here, Nuo Nuo don't cry."
