Jin Yiwei is on duty, signing Fengshen Legs at the beginning

Lunar New Year’s eve.

It snowed heavily all night last night, and the entire city of Suzhou was shrouded in white, as if covered with a thick layer of white cotton.

In the morning, Huang Shaojie rode a yellow-maned horse to the small courtyard where Xiao Qiuyue lived.

Although it is only a small courtyard with two entrances, it is indeed a bit empty and lonely for a woman to live there.

Xiao Qiuyue packed a few clothes, rode a bay-red horse, and followed Huang Shaojie to the Huang Mansion.

“Father, mother, this is Mr. Xiao Qi.”

Taking Xiao Qiuyue to the hall, Huang Shaojie introduced to his parents who were sitting by the fire in the hall drinking tea.

Huang Baiwan and his wife hurriedly stood up to greet them, but there were looks of astonishment on their faces.

Their son told them that he would bring Xiao Zongqi from Jin Yiwei to the Huang Mansion to celebrate the New Year. They thought that Xiao Zongqi was a man, but they didn’t expect that he turned out to be a stunning beauty.

“Qiuyue has met Mr. Huang, Mrs. Huang.”

Xiao Qiuyue bowed her hands to Huang Baiwan and his wife.

“General Xiao, it should be the common people who salute you.”

Huang Baiwan quickly returned the gift and said with a smile.

Now his son is also the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, otherwise he would not dare to be so negligent, but would be extremely respectful.

“A civilian woman has met Mr. Xiao.” Mrs. Huang also hurriedly saluted Xiao Qiuyue.

Xiao Qiuyue quickly stretched out her hand to support Mrs. Huang: “Madam, you can just call me Qiuyue, but don’t call me Qiancheng, sir.”

Mrs. Huang chuckled and said: “How to do this?”

Huang Shaojie said from the side: “Mom, Mr. Xiao and I are colleagues and friends. Just call her Qiuyue!”

Xiao Qiuyue took out a jade bracelet from her arms and handed it to Mrs. Huang, “Mrs. Huang, Qiuyue didn’t buy any gifts. This bracelet is for Madam. I hope Madam likes it.”

Huang Wanwan looked over and saw that this was a jade bracelet that was all crystal clear and green. At a glance, he knew it was the best jade, worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

Huang Wanwan was secretly surprised!

Although the income of the General Banner of Jinyiwei is very high, Xiao Qiuyue gave away a jade bracelet worth thousands of taels of silver as soon as he made a move. Isn’t this too outrageous?

Could it be that she is the eldest lady of some wealthy family?

Moreover, Xiao Qiuyue actually came to my Huang Mansion to celebrate the New Year, which shows that her relationship with Jie’er is very unusual!

Hehe, this stinky boy is really good. He has only been in Jinyiwei for a few months, and he actually hooked up with such a beautiful young lady from a well-known family, and she is also the general banner of Jinyiwei.

Huang Baiwan was thinking about these questions instantly, and his chubby face suddenly lit up with joy.

Mrs. Huang was very thoughtful and could see that the relationship between the beautiful Mr. Xiao and her precious son was very unusual. If she refused, it would ruin the atmosphere.

Then he took away the bracelet and said with a smile: “Come here, why are you so polite! You and Jie’er are colleagues and friends. I don’t have anything good to give back, so I will give you this hosta. Don’t dislike it. …..”

Mrs. Huang said, taking a sapphire-dot emerald hairpin from the high bun on her temples, and handed it to Xiao Qiuyue.

This sapphire-dot emerald hairpin was bought by Huang Wanwan from a famous jewelry store in Suzhou as a gift to his wife. It was also worth several hundred taels of silver.

Xiao Qiuyue seemed a little embarrassed. She came to Huang’s house to celebrate the New Year, so she gave Mrs. Huang a bracelet, but she didn’t expect that Mrs. Huang would give her a sapphire hairpin in return.

There is something wrong with this meaning.

But if you don’t accept it, it seems like you look down on the other person’s return gift.

“Thank you, madam.” Xiao Qiuyue took the hosta anyway.

Huang Baiwan said with a smile: “Master Xiao, you don’t have to be polite, we will be a family from now on, hahaha…”

Xiao Qiuyue’s pretty face suddenly turned slightly red, feeling extremely embarrassed!

Huang Shaojie looked at the old man with wide eyes and shouted: “Dad, you didn’t have a drink this morning? Why are you talking nonsense?”

Mrs. Huang also winked at Huang Wanwan speechlessly.

This girl comes to my door on the first day. Sir, can you not be so direct?

Huang Wanwan finally came to his senses, but as a profiteer, he naturally reacted very quickly.

He chuckled and said: “What I mean is that Mr. Xiao and we celebrate the New Year together, just like a family. Is there anything wrong with that? Hahaha…”

Huang Shaojie gave his father a thumbs up: “Old man, there’s nothing wrong with you.”

“Brat, what did you call me just now?” Huang Baiwan glared at his son.

Huang Shaojie said: “Dad!”

Xiao Qiuyue smiled and said: “Master Huang, Madam, Qiuyue has disturbed you.”

Huang Baiwan stroked his beard and said with a smile: “Don’t bother me, don’t bother me, we can’t ask for anything more! Haha… Xiao He, please arrange a room for Mr. Xiao in the young master’s courtyard!”

“Yes, sir.”

…

New Year’s Eve.

The snow is still falling.

But the whole city of Suzhou was immersed in celebration

In the joy of New Year’s Eve.

Every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with Spring Festival couplets and calligraphy and paintings pasted on them.

The adults are busy preparing New Year’s Eve dinner.

The children rarely put on new clothes and went around picking up firecrackers.

The sound of firecrackers can be heard in the streets and alleys, and brilliant fireworks bloom over Suzhou City.

Huang Shaojie asked his servants to bring a dozen large fireworks and lit them at the gate of Huang Mansion.

Suddenly, bunches of fireworks soared into the sky and exploded, like blooming colorful flowers, decorating the dark night sky like day.

“Wow! So beautiful!”

Xiaohe looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky, clapped and cheered, and jumped up and down.

Xiao Qiuyue sat down on the bluestone steps in front of the Huang Mansion gate. She held her chin in her hands and watched Huang Shaojie and his servants set off fireworks with envy and a faint smile on her face.

Huang Shaojie walked to her and sat down, and asked: “Qiuyue, you used to spend the New Year in the capital, right?”

After arriving at Huang’s Mansion, the relationship between the two took a further step. They no longer called each other’s general banner, but called each other by their first names.

“Yes.” Xiao Qiuyue nodded slightly and said with emotion: “Although the fireworks in the capital are more dazzling than this, they are not as full of life and warm atmosphere of family reunion as the fireworks here.”

Seeing her somewhat sad expression, Huang Shaojie couldn’t help but asked curiously: “Aren’t you in the capital to reunite with your family for the New Year?”

Xiao Qiuyue sighed and said: “My parents died when I was young, and I don’t have any relatives left.”

“Are you an orphan?” Huang Shaojie’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Before, he had heard from Jin Yiwei’s colleagues that Xiao Qiuyue had a great background in the capital, but he did not expect that she was actually an orphan.

Seemingly seeing the doubts in Huang Shaojie’s heart, Xiao Qiuyue said:

“My father was a personal bodyguard of King Pingxi. Nineteen years ago, a master from the Western Shu Kingdom assassinated King Pingxi. My father was killed by the assassin while trying to save King Pingxi, and my mother later died in love.”

“King Pingxi adopted me as his adopted daughter, raised me as his own daughter, and taught me martial arts. It wasn’t until last year that he sent me to the Jinyi Guards to train.”
