Chapter 45
However, being out of the way has its own benefits, secluded, but also at ease. For example, at this moment and here, when you push the door and enter, there are no candles in the house, but the windows are wide open to welcome the lights in the room.

Outside the window, the Qinhuai River flows quietly, and the charming lights of the river are still flowing.

On the window sill, there was a person sitting, bathed in the shadow of the lamp, like radiance, turned his head and looked out of the window, holding a wine jar in one hand, and was pouring wine with his head up.

Xiangsi paused at the door, then closed the door behind her back, and walked into the room, "On such a day, Mr. Shen is not at home for the reunion dinner, but instead came to my slave's house?"

"A lone family, one person's meal is the reunion dinner, it doesn't matter where you eat it." The person called "Master Shen" finally turned his head and jumped down from the window sill.

"I just happened to be on a business trip nearby, and I saw the New Year's weather everywhere on the way, so I stopped by to see you."

Xiangsi smiled slightly, but her eyes fell on the saving box on the table of the Eight Immortals, "Come here, and I brought a gift for my servant, Mr. Shen really has a heart." While speaking, he opened the saving box. When she opened her eyes and landed on the candies and snacks displayed in the box, she paused, and then her face changed slightly.

Mr. Shen has a first name and a surname, the surname is Shen, and the single name is the word Yue.Yue, the name of a star, also contains the meaning of fighting.

I don't know if it's because of the name, but his eyes are usually like stars, but once he focuses on something, it seems to be a little bit cold, and there is the clank of weapons.

For example, now.

Xiangsi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of mochi candy from the saving box and put it into his mouth. The sweet and greasy taste spread in his mouth, Xiangsi couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

However, it wasn't the one who was so dull, who was stared at strangely by him, but temporarily suppressed the agitation in his heart, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? What is Mr. Shen doing looking at my family like this?"

"It's nothing." Shen Yue withdrew his gaze, "I just don't know, but you actually like to eat Jiangnan style dim sum."

"Of course you don't know. It's rare to have such dim sum in the capital. If my girl didn't love her so much, as a slave, how could she eat such dim sum?"

A cold light flickered in Shen Yue's eyes, "By the way, do you have any relatives in your family? Or... are there any good friends behind your girl?"

"How good is the friendship?" Xiangsi seemed to be interested, raised her eyebrows and asked, "If you want to be like Mr. Shen, willing to take care of my slave's family for my girl, is this kind of friendship?"

Shen Yue's face seemed to be made of slate, and he didn't have the uncomfortable expression that Xiangsi had expected. He was as motionless as the wind, and even frowned slightly, "I'm asking you seriously, how about you?" Answer it seriously."

Xiangsi withdrew her smile lightly, "Why are you so serious? You know the situation of the Gu family all too well. Where are there any relatives? As for who the girl secretly knows... She usually slips out in disguise and meets What happened, who was it, I didn’t tell the slave family everywhere, and the slave family didn’t know everything.”

At this point, the words turned into doubts, "For such a thing, you can directly ask the girl. By the way, is the girl okay?" The latter question made her more eager.

A shadow slid across Shen Yue's eyes very quickly, and after a while, he murmured "Well", "It's good."

"Last time, when my lord came, I asked you, and you were okay." Xiangsi glanced at Shen Yue, then lowered her eyes, "However, I also know that with my girl's temperament, I'm afraid I'll be angry with you." Now, there are people who refuse to forgive the slave family. It doesn't matter, as long as the girl lives well, it doesn't matter what happens. Besides..."

Xiangsi turned her head to look at the box of snacks on the table of the Eight Immortals, with a warm smile in her eyes, as if outside the window, the lights on the Qinhuai River were also reflected in her eyes, flickering clearly.

"The girl will eventually forgive the slave family."

There was a bit of silence in the house, only the faint sound of firecrackers could be heard from all over the city.

The voice became more and more lively, but it made the room even more serene.

Xiangsi quickly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, turned her head, and gave Shen Yue a deep blessing, "Thank you for taking care of my girl, I am very grateful, pray every day, and pray for your success."

Shen Yue's face was half hidden in the shadows, he couldn't see clearly, but he sighed, "Let's go!" Then he stepped over Acacia, towards the direction of the door.

He has been here twice, and this time, it was the same as last time, and he didn't stay long.

Acacia is not surprising at all.

Only this time, when he reached the door, he stopped in his tracks. After a while, he turned around and looked over, "In front of me, you don't need to keep calling me slave."

Xiangsi was taken aback for a moment, but then laughed, with some indescribable bitterness, "Whether it's a servant girl or a servant, this is life. If you don't believe me, so what?"

Shen Yue turned his head to look at her, his eyes were dark and deep, and the corners of his mouth fluttered, as if he wanted to say something, but in a blink of an eye, he pursed the corners of his lips again.

With the strength of one foot, it turned in the opposite direction and jumped over.

The figure is nimble, like a cheetah, elegant but with vigor, but it is going out of the open window.

When I went, it was the same as when I came, and no one was alarmed.

Outside the window, the Qinhuai River is still quiet and beautiful. Not far away, there are fireworks rising into the sky, blooming gorgeous flowers one after another in the dark blue sky.

The entire southern capital seemed to be boiling.

Fireworks and firecrackers are intertwined, and the air is filled with a faint smell of sulfur.

Acacia stood by the window, facing the night wind, her face was dappled by the bright and dark fireworks, the corners of her mouth were slowly raised, what a splendid scene in front of her, reflected in her eyes, turned into How much solitude there is.

At this very moment when the family is reunited, she can only be alone in such a place.

Even the coming and going of that person just now seemed to be just a real illusion, and there was no trace of it.

Only the box of snacks on the table was with her.

She turned around and put another piece of mochi candy into her mouth.

It's really strange, in the past, it only felt sweet and greasy, but today, it is mixed with a trace of undetectable bitterness.

Stay up all night at [-], and walk all over the street on the first and second day of the first and second grades.

After watching the new year, when the sky breaks, although the sun is not visible, it is also the beginning of the new year, and the old year is gone.

The three brothers and sisters of the Ye family put on newly made clothes and happily talked in the yard.

The door opened, and Ye Shi'an came out in a new suit.

He was originally handsome, and he was dressed in a straight gown with a linen gray lined with sapphire blue edges, which accentuated his elegant and gentle temperament, which made people's eyes shine.

The children came forward with a smile, and Ye Xinyi followed the example of Ye Chuanbai and Ye Songlan, and wished Ye Shian a new year, "Daddy, happy new year."

Ye Shi'an smiled and said "good boy" a few times, and handed the lucky money that had been prepared and sealed in red paper to the children one by one.
