On the sixth day of the winter moon, Wanhui Festival.

The trees on both sides of Kyoto's streets that had lost their leaves are now decorated with flowers by the people, and they feel like they are celebrating the New Year in a trance.

The location for visiting the elephant team was Xiaoxiao ordered. It is located in the second floor pavilion at the entrance of Fengxiao Lane, which is the portrait rented from Ning Wang in summer. It is the closest to the palace. You can see the Imperial Street by sitting by the window on the second floor.

"I won't be the only two of us today." Dan Tai Furong sat by the window, looking at the somewhat deserted Imperial Street not far away.

The people are not allowed to go to Yu Street. At this moment, there is a red carpet on the street and guards stand on both sides, which looks particularly solemn.

Outside the Imperial Street, there is another world with a lot of people.

"Rui Cai's illness has not been cured yet. Nijie doesn't like to join in such a fun. Now I'm waiting for the Wen brothers and sisters." Xiaoxiao looked at the huge room, but only himself and Furong, and he felt deserted for a while.

Furong looked at the whole room and took great pains to decorate. Every corner can be painted. It is worthy of being a special place for portraits.

Furong's girl Zhuxiang brought the food box over and took out a few snacks made by Dan Tai's family. Xiaoxiao hurriedly ordered Zhishou's girl here to make tea.

"There are a few original girls left by your side?" Furong looked at Xiao Di'er, "Lan Xiang beside me is already married, Mei Xiang will get married by the end of the year. There is no way. She can't keep it when she is old."

Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "There is a very caring girl who married into the farm last year and is now a steward. There is also a very good job. She married the steward in the shop this spring. Now the little girl who has been repaired has been trained to become an old man."

Xiao Dier understood that the two girls mentioned by the girl were gold knitting and lotus.

Xiaoxiao hopes that the atmosphere will be more cheerful, so she asked with a smile: "I'm just curious. If you marry two of the 'Four Incense's' around you, what are the names of the two who have been added?"

Furong pinched a brown molasses cake and bit it into a tip: "It's all easy to remember, and the newly promoted ones are Xiangmei and the other is Xianglan."

Fragrant plums make up for the lack of plum fragrance, and fragrant orchid make up for the lack of orchid.

"Hahaha!" Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing out loud, "You are a saving, and your name can be used in reverse!"

Furong thought nothing funny, but she was poor for a while... I took a bite of the brown molasses cake and opened her to the window: "Your slim shoes are here~"

"Don't talk nonsense~" Xiaoxiao patted Furong's shoulder, but she couldn't accept anyone's jokes for a while, "By the way, is Xizi here?"

"Here," said Furong, who changed her face to face, "I always think Xizi is very strange recently. She said she is weak and recuperated at home, but she looks thinner and thinner... On the surface, she looks like she talks and laughs with us, but she always seems to have something to hide."

Furong didn't know what Xizi was doing, so she naturally felt strange.

"Maybe the flowers will be better when spring comes." Xiaoxiao said and walked to the stairs. He saw Wen Xixiu and Xizi stepping upstairs. Both brothers and sisters were wearing mattresses, one piece of stone green and the other piece of honey. The color was as thin as the wind in winter.

Xizi walked in front, with a few unmelted small snow particles on his head: "Snowflakes are floating outside, and I don't know if the elephants are afraid of the cold."

Xiaoxiao took Xizi's hand and felt cold as ice. Her eyes were facing Wen Xixiu behind her. The other party smiled: "Even if the team is afraid of the cold, they will still leave this time."

That's right, the Emperor's birthday.

"It seems that you have all seen the elephant team of Wanhui Festival!" Xiaoxiao, as a girl who came to Kyoto from Zhaozhou last year, has never seen an elephant before.

"Actually, there is nothing good to look at. It's just a group of elephants queuing up to walk!" Before Furong could finish her words, she suddenly exclaimed, which scared everyone: "Elephants, elephants! The palace gate is open, and the elephants are coming out!"

Who said, "Nothing good-looking" just now, with an indifferent look on his face...

Xiaoxiao was about to come up to look, but saw Dan Tai Furong by the window pulling over Xizi: "We two guard this place to look, you two go to the window!"

Is this what it means to let the two get along alone? Xiaoxiao sometimes really admires Furong's multi-heartedness.

Wen Xixiu's voice was heard in my ears: "If Yingyuan wants to see more clearly, you can go upstairs."

The upper floor is a galloping hall with a higher view, but it is not blocked by the windows, so it may be a little cold.

Xiaoxiao tied the tether of the feather satin cloak, and felt that Wen Xixiu had something to say to him, so he also smiled and said, "Then let's go upstairs to see!"

Xizi looked at the elephant team slowly walking down the street. The elephants in the team were wearing gold belts, as if they were painting treasures. Furong heard in his ears: "According to the two of them, I'm afraid Yingyuan will enter your house after passing through the hairpin~"

Xizi smiled and said, "I have been looking forward to it."

"You should hurry up, you are bigger than Yingyuan," Furong held her chin and looked at the huge and mighty elephants, but she said something that had nothing to do with the elephant. "I remember you passed the hairpin at the end of last year. By this calculation, you will soon turn sixteen!"

Xizi nodded: "After you say this, you are really old."

"I'm not old, but time doesn't wait for anyone - I have to meet the right person and get to know each other again, and it depends on the family background of both parties. In addition, the marriage is discussed, so the time is not short." Furong didn't say much about the rest - it's not easy to meet a person with fate, Xizi was very beautiful, and after choosing like this, the one who was wasted the end was still a woman.

Furong is blessed. She wants to marry Prince Ning, and she is also a handsome man and treats herself like a treasure. Once a person stands tall, it is difficult to bend down to give advice to others because he can't control his tone and is always afraid of showing off.

Xizi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart."

Furong pinched Xizi's hand, and the two of them didn't say much, just lay by the window and looked at the steadily elephants.

At this time, Xiaoxiao and Wen Xixiu were also holding the railing upstairs to watch the elephant. The cold wind was mixed with small snow particles, which made it particularly cool on their faces.

The elephant team moved forward slowly in such a climate, and Xiaoxiao could almost see the long white air exhaled from the elephant's nose.

It is different from the Wanhui Festival you imagined, and there is no even a festive celebration.

"I was afraid of shocking the elephants, so it is strictly forbidden to set off firecrackers in Kyoto." Wen Xixiu seemed to see what Xiaoxiao was thinking, and pointed to the Yujie archway in the distance. "It will be lively after passing the archway, and it can be said that it is crowded with people."

"I originally thought that this place was close to the palace, but it was a depressing place." Xiaoxiao wore a royal blue feather satin cloak, which was particularly eye-catching in the wind and snow. The dazzling royal blue base was woven with a large snow-white feather pattern, which was the feather brocade in Jinan.

Wen Xixiu used to think that Xiaoxiao was suitable for wearing light colors, but today's gorgeous blue color complemented it.

But when the elephant team slowly left the Imperial Street and walked past the archway, they heard the cheers from afar. The bustle in the room was separated by the wind and snow, and it was lost when it came again.

Xiaoxiao turned her face and looked at Wen Xixiu who was very close to her: "Does Brother Wen have something to say to me?"

Wen Xixiu looked at it and smiled for a while before nodding, asking first: "Is Yingyuan cold?"

Xiaoxiao shook her head with a smile, put her snow cap on her head, and then quickly put her hand into the soft cover of the ferret fur: "I wear the thickest, how can it be cold!"

Wen Xixiu's hand was a copper hand stove, and the smell of sandalwood was scented, and even the hand stove was fragrant.

Wen Xixiu said: "I want to tell you about Xizi."

Xiaoxiao had long guessed that it was related to Xizi: "I also wondered that Xizi's days are different from before. I no longer worry about it inexplicably, nor ask Shi Zuimo's whereabouts. I just calmed down and painted, as if I knew what the result was."

"That man has been back to Beijing for a while and has passed the letter with Xizi." Wen Xixiu's words were white in the air.

Xiaoxiao remembered that Shi Zuimo had first communicated to Xizi two months ago, and Xizi had even shown the letter to himself. The letter was a painting, and there was a man waiting on the painting.

After that, Shi Zuimo went to Mount Lu, and there was no news.

Now, Xizi has communicated with him and has not mentioned it at all, which is a bit abnormal.

Wen Xixiu sighed softly: "I can't rest assured, so I found someone to secretly follow Shi Zuimo. Now he is selling paintings, recycling funds, and leaving a rental house in the suburbs of Beijing. It seems that he is planning to leave Beijing to make a living."

"You mean..." Xiaoxiao felt an ominous premonition.

Wen Xixiu smiled bitterly: "Xizi is also secretly pawning the decorative..."

Could it be that these two people are going to elope?

"No, Xizi is not that stupid!" Xiaoxiao always felt that Xizi had figured it out, and there was only three months left. Once the deadline arrived, Shi Zuimo would basically be cold.

"Xizi is very tense now. I dare not ask, or even test it," Wen Xixiu lowered his eyes and looked at the cigarettes floating out of the copper hand stove. "I'm afraid that one action will cause the strings to break and burn."

Alas, I feel sorry for my brothers in the world.

Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand from the warm cover and placed it on Wen Xixiu's handshake stove. He originally wanted to comfort the other party, but he knew that his heart was thumping first, and the hand was not convenient to be recycled immediately. In a hurry, he was quickly held by the other party's hand.

It was clearly talking about such an important thing in Xizi, why did the two of them suddenly shake hands? They coughed twice, thinking it was inappropriate, so they took their hands back: "Xizi... Even if Xizi is planning for something, this should be the last helpless move. The two of them always have to mention this matter to both families. If they really can't do it, they will do the final one..."

Wen Xixiu's hand returned to the hand stove: "That was not what he said three months ago. He wanted to give an open and honest explanation, rather than secretly obsessed in the world."

Xiaoxiao's hand also returned to the warm warm cover: "There is only ten days left before the deadline. If he fails to obtain the consent of the elders of the Wen family, he will probably not have the chance to take Xizi out of Beijing."

At present, the only people in the Wen family who knew about this matter were Wen Xidian and Wen Xixiu. Once the rest of the Wen family knew about this, they would definitely take strict care of Xizi. Maybe they would also send someone to stare at Shi Zuimo. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, this kind of "free love" that is not supported by elders is not a glorious thing. It must be completely wiped out and isolate it will be considered a stop.

As Xiaoxiao said, at that time, the two of them would never have the chance to escape again.

Judging from Wen Xixiu's expression, he should have thought of this: "Maybe, if someone is deeply trapped in it, he will become stupid and will not listen to anyone's advice. He will only cry when he sees the coffin in the end."

"No, you have to talk to Xizi about this. Even if you elope with him, you must understand this person thoroughly!" Xiaoxiao became stubborn, and there was a sense of nameless fire in his heart - he didn't even know where the other party lived, so he was going to elope with him? Maybe the family had already married a wife and had a lot of children!

"She is very sensitive to this matter now, how should she say it?" Wen Xixiu said, feeling that Xiaoxiao looked not right.

——But I saw him constantly patting his heart: "No, no, no, I'm almost angry."
