The main courtyard had three entrances and two side courtyards. Wen Mingxi lived in the east side courtyard, and the twins lived in the west side courtyard. The couple went directly to the second entrance courtyard, which was their main house.
They went into the bedroom to change their clothes, and the three brothers and sisters were carried upstairs by their mother. The Xu family arrived first.
Xu Lanting congratulated his sister and brother-in-law, then hurried over to see his niece and nephew. The young boy was already ten years old, and under his father's strict control, he couldn't visit his eldest sister's house as often as Xu Lanyue did. The rare visits he made felt like Chinese New Year.
After a few words, Wen Zhuoan, Xu Qingyan, and Xu Lanzhou went to the outer courtyard to entertain the male guests. Xu Lanting didn't want to leave yet, but Xu Qingyan glared at him.
Xu Lanyin touched his temples and chuckled softly, "I'll plead for you then and let you four gentlemen of Merlin stay at my house for the night."
Xu Lanting smiled and went to the front yard.
Soon, people from the Dongqing Marquis's residence arrived, followed by the Nanyang Princess's residence. Except for Ma, who had just given birth to a daughter a few days ago, all the masters came. Then came the Min, Li, and Zhou residences, the Fourth Prince's residence, the Pingjun Prince's residence, the Wei Prince's residence, the Beiyang Princess's residence, and so on. Every unexpected guest arrived.
The Xiqing Marquis' Mansion was bustling all day, and the guests left one after another at the end of the 3:00 p.m., and the Four Gentlemen of the Plum Garden stayed here as they wished.
Wen Zhuoan came back from the front yard and said with a smile, "Are you tired? If not, let's go for a walk."
Xu Lan, seeing that I was thinking the same thing, smiled and said, "I also want to take another look at our home."
Chai Zixiao, who had sharp ears, heard it and shouted, "We want to go too."
Wen Mingxi jumped and shouted, "Go, go, go..."
Xu Lanyue noticed that her sister and brother-in-law wanted to be alone, so she smiled and said, "It's tiring to walk around the yard. Let's go to Meilin and let the girls make barbecue and soup so we can talk about heroes."
This proposal aroused the interest of Min Jia, Xu Lanting and Chai Zixiao, and they asked the servants to prepare things.
Xu Lanyin and Wen Zhuoan didn't bring anyone with them, and they walked hand in hand, passing the corridor, the corridor, the woods, the garden, the lake, the willow bank, and finally came to the small stone bridge.
Gazing at the rippling blue waters of the lake, the cascading eaves and corners of the houses, and the vast expanse of sunset glow in the sky, Xu Lanyin thought of her past life. She had a happy life in this one, but she wondered if her parents in her previous life had ever overcome the pain of losing their only child.
She asked, "Zhuo An, do you believe in time travel and rebirth? Or, I dream of butterflies, and the butterflies dream of me?"
Wen Zhuoan squeezed her small hand with his big hand and said, "I only know that you are an extraordinary person, and you are also my most beloved sister and wife, Yinyin."
Xu Lanyin had originally wanted to talk about her past life, but after hearing what Wen Zhuoan said, she stopped talking. She was his sister, his wife, Yinyin, what else needed to be said? Some things could be put off until they were old.
