Chapter 438 Meeting Again
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Song Ren left Yuanjiang Mansion with his army early in the morning. After Xie Yuan saw him off, he returned to the study and wrote another memorial to the emperor.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, under the careful care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as the suturing techniques and the use of the finest gold sore medicine on the wounds, Xie Yuan's arrow wounds on his legs and arms had begun to scar. After getting up to move around, Zhou Bin knocked on the door and reported back: "Sir, an old man named Shen is coming outside. He claims to be your master and wants to see you."
"Invite him here quickly." Xie Yuan was really happy, but not surprised, because he knew that the news of his injury had reached Yuecheng, and the master and the old man would definitely come.
He put on his clothes, combed them briefly, picked up the crutches beside the bed, and went out to greet her in person.
…………
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Jiang Minghong got up early. Today he would invite his aunt, Uncle Wu, and Grandpa He over to celebrate the Lantern Festival together.
In the backyard, Jiang Mingyue knew that her brother was about to set off, so she immediately led Putao and Tuanzi to the front yard. After handing them over to her brother, she put on their hats and said, "You know, you have to listen to your uncle today?"
The two milk babies nodded one after another.
"So good!"
Jiang Mingyue kissed her son and daughter's cheeks tenderly.
Putao and Tuanzi are restless and always like to run out. Jiang Mingyue has been very busy during this period, so recently, his younger brother and third uncle are taking care of them.
Fortunately, Putao and Tuanzi were very well-behaved and almost never cried. Besides being smart and sensible, their younger brother would take them with him whenever he went out.
"The ice on the road has not completely melted yet, so slow down."
"it is good!"
After the three people left, Jiang Mingyue turned and went into the kitchen to make glutinous rice balls with her third aunt, Pingguo and the others.
There are many people today, so we need to make more glutinous rice balls, and Jiang Mingyue also wants to send some to Sixth Sister.
Time passed quickly in the busy schedule. In the afternoon, Jiang Mingyue made some glutinous rice balls and handed them to Apple.
"Go to the British government's mansion and deliver these glutinous rice balls to Sixth Sister. Just say that Third Aunt made them."
"Hey!"
Not long after Pingguo left, Shen Jiaoniang and the others came, either on horseback or in a car. Jiang Mingyue greeted everyone, took her daughter from her aunt and asked, "Are they good?"
"Very good. I got a few more red envelopes and some candies."
Jiang Mingyue's pockets were identical. Well, they were indeed full.
"Candy is delicious, but you can't eat too much, you know?"
The two milk babies nodded.
Seeing how well-behaved they were, Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but touch their heads, then led them into the living room.
In the evening, everyone gathered together to have a lively Lantern Festival, and then went out. Kyoto was very lively on the Lantern Festival, and everyone wanted to go shopping.
After Jiang Mingyue and her brother separated from everyone, they took the grapes and dumplings for a stroll until the end of Xu Shi, and then they turned around.
"Sister, please take Putao and Tuanzi back to rest first! I'll wait for everyone."
"it is good!"
That day, Jiang Minghong waited for everyone to come back safely before going back to the house to rest.
On the 16th, Jiang Sanniang and Ryan arrived at Qingshi Hutong early.
After everyone sat together and had a good gathering at noon, Jiang Laosan and his wife returned to Wanping with Shen Jiaoniang and Grandpa He in the afternoon.
Jiang Mingyue and others took them to the city gate and then stopped.
After watching them leave the city, Jiang Mingyue saw that Sixth Sister was a little sad, and walked to her side and said warmly: "Wanping is close to Kyoto. Sixth Sister misses Third Uncle and Third Aunt, and can go back to see them at any time."
Jiang Sanniang said 'hmm' and asked, "When do you plan to go to Shangqing Temple?"
"After seeing off my brother later, I'll go tomorrow."
"I'll send you off and take a look around Shangqing Temple."
"Okay!"
The two agreed and returned to the alley. Jiang Sanniang and Ryan followed her and sent their brother to the academy.
Normally, the academy was not allowed to enter, but it was different today, so they sent their brother directly to the dormitory.
Jiang Minghong put down his things and saw that Sixth Sister was full of curiosity about the academy and said, "Let me show you around!"
"Okay! This is my first time coming to the academy! I'm very curious."
Jiang Mingyue and the four of them held their two children and followed their younger brother around the academy. By the time they left the academy, it was already dark.
After discussing with them, Ryan took them to Tianxiang Tower.
In the Tianxiang Building, when Song Rui followed Song Min walking upstairs, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. She paused and turned her head. It turned out that she had not seen it wrong.
Song Rui's eyes passed over Jiang Mingyue and landed on the baby in her arms. She couldn't move away for a long time. Is this her and Xie Yuan's child? He looks really like Xie Yuan.
Song Min walked a few steps and saw that his sister didn't follow him, so he turned and followed her line of sight. When he saw Jiang Mingyue, his eyes seemed to be a little brighter. She was more beautiful than before, and she had more charm.
When Song Min glanced at Jiang Mingyue with a somewhat aggressive look, he suddenly met a pair of big eyes.
These eyes looked at him calmly, without a trace of emotion, but they made him shiver inexplicably.
Song Min raised his eyebrows and looked at the face that was very similar to Xie Yuan's. His interest instantly died down, and he looked away and called out.
"Sister!"
Song Rui came back to her senses instantly. She looked at the grapes and then the dumplings, and then continued upstairs with her brother.
Putao lowered his head, playing with the Dzi beads on his wrist with his fair and fleshy little hands, as if nothing happened just now.
As sharp as Jiang Mingyue, she had discovered Song and Min a long time ago. She just felt a little unlucky. She would not have come if she had known she would meet their brother and sister.
No matter what she was thinking in her heart, she didn't show it on her face at all. She just pretended that she didn't see them and turned her head to avoid the second prince's sight and talk to the sixth sister.
It wasn't until the brother and sister left and Jiang Mingyue followed her sixth brother-in-law and sixth sister into the private room that she slowly relaxed.
Jiang Sanniang found an excuse, moved her husband away, moved to her sister's side and asked in a low voice.
"The two people in purple clothes on the third floor just now, do they know you? I saw that they looked at you a little strangely."
Jiang Mingyue didn't hide anything from Sixth Sister.
"They are the second prince Song Min and the fifth princess Song Rui."
Jiang Sanniang was a little surprised and said: "It's actually a prince or a princess."
"My husband was the top scorer in high school..."
Jiang Mingyue didn't notice that when she and Sixth Sister were talking about their grievances, Putao and Tuanzi were playing a little absent-mindedly.
After Jiang Sanniang heard her story, she was filled with indignation and said, "It's so shameless."
Jiang Mingyue held her hand and said warmly: "Don't be angry. Fortunately, it's all over."
Jiang Sanniang slowly exhaled.
"It's all your fault, brother-in-law. If you had come to eat at Tianxiang Tower, you wouldn't have come if you had known."
"How can you blame the sixth brother-in-law? We don't have the ability to predict the future. Who would have thought that they would come here to eat."
Jiang Sanniang said 'hmm' and said, "Tianxiang Tower is a little bit tough on us today, so we won't come here anymore."
Jiang Mingyue smiled and nodded.
