402, real brother and sister

At the wedding banquet of Yuanlong Dynasty, except for the relatives of his closest relatives, the female guests often do not stay for dinner, and they will leave until the hour of You.

Xiaoxiao met Ruicai in Nanyuan, spread her hands and said, "My mother wants to go back and rest. Before that, she took my carriage home."

Because the three of them came in the Xiaoxiao carriage before, so everyone had to be informed. Sure enough, Ruicai said after hearing this: "It's a big deal that we didn't say it in advance. Our family came with a carriage today. My mother had a very good conversation with several wives today. Now she went to one of them to play cards."

So, the two of them don’t have much transportation to take now, so there is no hurry. After all, they are in the Wen family, so at worst they can just ask Xizi to help solve the problem.

Xiaoxiao smiled at Ruicai with a slight smile: "Aunt Wei must have met his in-laws in advance~"

Ruicai pounded and smiled: "Don't say this quickly, let's just let others hear the joke!"

"I'm just asking you, how is your blind date today?" Xiaoxiao looked serious.

Ruicai rolled his eyes lightly: "There is one with an art, one with a dull and silent, one with a pretentious one, and one with neither yin nor yang."

Xiaoxiao held back her laugh and helped her analyze: "So, that dull and silent person became the best one."

Ruicai shook his head gently: "That person is too hard to speak. Miss Wei means a stick of incense."

Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei... Xiaoxiao resists laughter and no longer takes the blame.

"I heard that Furong went to shoot arrows?" Xiaoxiao asked.

"I didn't see you in person. It is said that Furong was very outstanding in the archery field today. As a result, Mrs. Tan Tai heard about this, she personally took her daughter back from the archery field and took her to the carriage home." Ruicai shrugged her shoulders as she learned about smiling.

Xiaoxiao: "I didn't expect that Mrs. Tan Tai is so conservative, and it is rare that Furong can still be free and easy by nature in such a normal family."

"I don't know the specific details," Ruicai followed Xiaoxiao and walked through a small flower mountain with "full of peony silk flowers". "Furong grew up with her grandmother since she was a child, and seemed to have followed their old ladies in character."

The two of them walked while talking. The daylight was the shortest during the Winter Solstice. At this time, a layer of gray-purple twilight mist was already spreading around the sky. The Wen family set off red fireworks, blooming one by one in the sky of the North Garden.

Xiaoxiao saw someone walking not far away: "Isn't that Mr. Ning?"

Young Master Ning, wearing a green robe in pine leaves, walked over with a cluster of golden velvet tassels on his head. He did not follow him, and walked alone to bow to the two of them: "I am abrupt, I am deeply regretful of the sudden incident in the archery field today, and I would like to ask the two girls to convey their apology to Miss Dan Tai for you."

Xiaoxiao and the other two were confused: "What happened to the archery field? Furong..."

When Mr. Ning saw that the two of them were not aware of it, he had to explain: "Miss Dan Tai was just learning archery, and the snow on the archery field had not melted, which inevitably affected her eyesight. Today, she almost injured her innocent people."

Both of them were shocked when they heard this: "What's wrong with the injured? Who was the injured?"

"It's also a girl. She is wearing a white fox cloak and a hood. It's not easy to detect when walking on the snow..." Mr. Ning made an expression of incomprehension. "Fortunately, the arrow only brushed across the edge of the cloak and was not injured."

This is enough to scare the girl to death ten thousand times. It is estimated that Dan Tai Furong is also scared. No wonder Mrs. Dan Tai took her back to the house. This is to eliminate the impact quickly. Maybe Mrs. Dan Tai has already gone to the girl's house to apologize.

Having said that, the girl wearing a white fox cloak is really weird. She is fine if she wears a white cloak wrapped in silver when attending a wedding, but she even runs to the archery field. Isn’t this looking for shooting...

"But I don't know which girl belongs to?" Ruicai asked.

"I haven't found out carefully, I only know that the girl's surname is Pan."

My surname is Pan? Could it be...

Ruicai seemed to see what Xiaoxiao thought: "Youqing has been busy helping the Wen family to greet guests. Besides, she has always been particular. Although she is not afraid of fur, she will never wear white to come to the wedding banquet."

"It is said that the girl was going to go to the archery field to break the red plum blossoms. Only the red plum tree in the archery field was the first to bloom." Young Master Ning shook his head slightly, still expressing confusion about Miss Pan's move.

Ruicai smiled and said, "It's good that people are not hurt. Young Master Ning doesn't have to blame himself. Today's incident is just a coincidence and has nothing to do with archery itself."

"After that being said, I should take some responsibility for archery." Young Master Ning thought for a while and said, "It would be better if I waited for a few days to snow heavily. I would like to invite Miss Dan Tai to appreciate the snow as a feast for fear. At that time, the two girls must come to appreciate their faces."

Xiaoxiao was already a little curious about Mr. Ning, so she asked, "But I don't know where the mansion is?"

Young Master Ning smiled and said, "There is a small house in my home suitable for snow-watching, located on Cunjin Street in the suburbs of Beijing."

Ruicai said: "I can't be the master of Furong either. Let's talk about it after asking her."

Young Master Ning said: "At that time, we will invite several guests who are familiar to you, and we will not be restricted."

Both of them nodded and smiled. The other party seemed very sincere and was not easy to refuse. Then we will see what Dan Tai Furong meant.

Young Master Ning smiled: "I'm about to say goodbye, are you two going to leave too?"

The two of them were embarrassed to say that there was no carriage. They were not very familiar with Mr. Ning, so they couldn't borrow someone else's carriage. So they smiled and said, "We are waiting for our family here and we will go back later."

Young Master Ning bowed and said, "Then I will say goodbye first."

Ruicai looked at Young Master Ning's back as he walked away and suddenly said, "Did he wear these golden velvet tassels at noon?"

"I shouldn't have worn it at that time. I remember wearing a jade hairpin." Xiaoxiao affirmed, and he couldn't help but wonder. He was unable to understand the behavior of an adult man suddenly changing his headdress at the banquet.

As the two of them were talking, they walked towards the gate. The two carriages of Xiaoxiao's family probably had not left yet, so they could only go back in the "public carriage" at home.

There were a lot of carriages parked outside the gate, but Xiaoxiao couldn't find his two cars: "Maybe the sisters took the bus back first? My grandmother naturally went back earlier, so she should have left one car..."

"Of course they thought your carriage was still there, so they didn't wait for you." Ruicaira stood by the wall and avoided the people coming and going in front of the door.

Su Yan and Xiao Dier both said they wanted to run errands home and call a carriage. The two little masters felt sorry for the girl again. It was not worth it to run around the dark road.

Ruicai looked at the twilight gradually shrouded in, "The Wen family has many relatives today. It's better not to disturb Xizi. It's better to just wait here and always meet someone you know to take a ride."

"That's all." Xiaoxiao wrapped her cloak tightly, put her hand into the ferret warm cover, and looked at the brass hand stove in Ruicai's hand, "I can't always use the hand stove."

Even in my previous life, Xiaoxiao didn’t like to use those hand warmers or the like.

At this time, the two of them stood not far from the Wen family's gate with their maids. The huge red lanterns hanging on the gate became brighter because of the deepening of the night. The red fireworks kept blooming in the sky, and Ruicai also wrapped their cloaks tightly: "The wedding banquet is as if it has just begun. If it really doesn't work, let's go back for a dinner."

Xiaoxiao was amused by Ruicai's proposal: "There are relatives left at the dinner, so we can still have a meal with those cousins."

Ruicai: "…"

While the two were hesitating, they saw a black-painted carriage parked in front of them. The curtains moved slightly, and a sound came from inside: "Get in the car."

Ruicai was puzzled for a moment that the voice came from a man, who was somewhat familiar with the stranger.

Xiaoxiao said happily: "It's my second brother! Let's get into his car!"

So, the master and servant got on Tang Lichen's carriage.

Fortunately, the car was spacious enough, and the five people sat inside and didn't feel crowded. They smiled and said to Tang Lihuan: "The second brother is really a savior. We don't know what to do!"

Tang Lihuan patiently explained to the two: "At such a large banquet, the host will prepare carriages for the guests, just say hello to the door."

Xiaoxiao didn't know these rules, and still said stubbornly: "We just came from Hanzhou and Zhaozhou, and I really don't understand the rules of your wealthy families in Kyoto~"

Tang Lihuan raised his eyebrows slightly and suggested to Xiaoxiao: "This girl from Zhaozhou should be farther away from the car window. Once she drives, she might be jumped out." Seeing her sister glaring at her, she pointed at the car window again: "That, square one, is the car window."

Ruicai sat aside and couldn't help laughing, feeling that Xiaoxiao and her brother's way of getting along with each other is different from that of the Wen brothers and sisters. Thinking about her own family, she actually had no elder brother, which was a bit regretful.

The carriage was about to move forward, and suddenly heard someone calling Xiaoxiao's name outside the car window. Xiaoxiao hurriedly stretched out his head and looked out the window. He didn't know what he said to him, so he was about to get off the car: "You wait for me, it was the flower hoe that brought me a lot of flowers!"

So Xiaoxiao and Xiao Dier got off the carriage, and before getting off the car, Xiaoxiao said, "The second brother did not wear big red tulle when he came. When did he wear it?" Without waiting for his brother to answer, he got off the car.

Only Ruicai's master and servant and Tang Lihuan were left in the car.

Fortunately, Su Yan accompanied him, Ruicai didn't feel at a loss.

Ruicai looked at Tang Lihuan with his afterglow and saw that he was wearing a black sable cloak, a small black jade crown on his head, and a huge red velvet tassel. The color combination was very harmonious.

The Tang family can dress up like this, Ruicai couldn't help but think to himself.

I also felt a faint fragrance in the air, not incense or flowers, but in fragrant barbecue.

Ruicai looked around and saw that there was no stove or something in the carriage, and I don’t know where the barbecue smell came from.

Tang Lihuan held the copper hand stove in his hand and sniffed, as if he was also smelling the aroma of barbecue in the air. Then he made an action that surprised Ruicai.

The copper hand stove was opened by Tang Lihuan, and there was a small copper rack on the charcoal cake inside, with several thin pieces of barbecue on it!

Tang Lihuan quietly turned the barbecue with the copper chopsticks beside him, took out the seasoning bottle and sprinkled some seasonings on it, and soon the aroma of cumin was emitted.

"Miss Wei can try it?" Tang Lihuan had already placed two clean plates on the small table.

Ruicai has seen those who put incense cakes in the hand stove, and those who use the hand stove to roast dates and orange peels, but this is the first time in his life that he has seen barbecue? Barbecue with the hand stove?! This, the Tang family is really extraordinary...

Although Ruicai was surprised, he was cheerful by nature and was not careful with the details. He smiled and said, "I just smelled the fragrance. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. It turned out that this secret was hidden in Brother Tang's hand stove."
