Chapter 179 She Wants Someone to Spend the New Year with Her
Wen Xingluo looked at the long object and was silent for a long time.
Without waiting for Wei Ying to take out anything shocking, she left the boudoir without hesitation while she was rummaging through the drawers.
Wen Xingluo felt a little lost as he walked through the corridor.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, but Xie Guanlan is not in the palace, and neither are Fourth Brother and Le Zhi.
In such a huge mansion, there was not a single normal person to stay with her to celebrate the New Year.
The girl walked for a long time and unknowingly arrived at the northeast courtyard.
She stood outside the courtyard gate and saw that the house was brightly lit. Wen Rufeng and the others were having the New Year's Eve dinner. The sound of clinking wine glasses and talking was very lively.
It was almost midnight, and after finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, the four siblings and Xu Miaomiao stepped out of the door and set off firecrackers and fireworks in the yard.
Wen Ruyun said lovingly, "Yueyin, you are weak and can't stand the wind. Just stand under the eaves holding the hand warmer. Second brother will set off fireworks for you to watch."
"Thank you, second brother." Wen Yueyin said in a sweet voice.
The fireworks are burning, colorful and brilliant.
Wen Rufeng held Wen Qingsong's tablet so that even in his grave he could enjoy the fireworks. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Dad, it's almost a new year in Shu County. Please bless me to get the top spot in the imperial examination and make a name for myself!"
Wen Yueyin said softly, "Brother, I believe you will definitely win first place in the autumn examination and go to the capital to take the exam smoothly. Let's persevere, and good days for our family will come soon."
Wen Rufeng nodded solemnly.
Wen Ruyun also said, "After the first month of the lunar year, I'll go out and see if there's any business I can do. I believe Yue Yin wouldn't lie to us. Since she said that the three of us brothers will become giants in the court, the army, and the business world in the future, then we can definitely do it. Third brother, what do you think?"
Wen Rulei sat alone on the steps with no expression on his face.
Now he just wanted to scold Wen Yueyin severely.
But today is New Year's Eve after all, and it is not appropriate to quarrel.
He said calmly, "When big brother goes to the capital to take the imperial examination, we will go together. I want to take part in the martial arts examination and see if I can get the title of martial arts champion."
Wen Yueyin was overjoyed when she heard this.
Her third brother finally cheered up again!
Although it is not known whether the three brothers can return to the peak of their previous lives, they have now regained their fighting spirit, so it should not be a big problem.
She grabbed her three biological brothers on one hand and her stepfather and grandmother of the Zhenbei Palace on the other.
With two approaches at the same time, she is not only a lady from a royal palace, but also the younger sister of the newly crowned top scholar in the imperial examination and the top scholar in martial arts. With such a noble status, is there any need to worry about not being able to become the Crown Princess in the future?
She was secretly happy when Wen Rulei suddenly murmured, "When I become the top martial arts champion, Xingluo will understand that I am better than Xie Shian, and she will definitely come back to me... This time, I will give her all the honors!"
Wen Yueyin's face turned pale.
Wen Ruyun took one look at her expression and immediately scolded Wen Rulei, "Why do you have to bring up that jinx on such a joyous occasion? How much money did she cheat me out of during the tea-horse trade? If she hadn't been interfering, I would have become the richest man in Shu County! Our family has fallen to this point today, all because of Wen Xingluo!"
"That's right..." Wen Yueyin agreed in a low voice.
Wen Rufeng tried to smooth things over, "Alright, I'll call the shots. No one is allowed to mention her again tonight. Tonight is New Year's Eve, so let's stay up all night like we did every year! I've prepared some riddles, let's play a game of guessing them."
Wen Rulei suggested, "The loser will be responsible for washing the clothes for the entire family."
Wen Ruyun smiled evilly and waved his folding fan, "I definitely won't lose."
Wen Yueyin said playfully, "My three brothers, please give in to me!"
Wen Rufeng held the tablet in one hand and touched her head lovingly with the other, "You."
He turned to Xu Miaomiao and ordered, "Miaomiao, go cut a plate of fresh fruit, prepare some melon seeds, peanuts and snacks, and heat a pot of wine for us. Make sure it's hot."
Xu Miaomiao was cleaning the New Year's Eve dinner table. Hearing this, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and quickly agreed.
A few people chatted with each other, and after setting off firecrackers, they all went back to the house.
Wen Xingluo looked at their shadows reflected in the window.
she……
She also wants someone to stay up with her until the New Year.
Through the high wall, Wen Xingluo heard the sound of firecrackers coming one after another in the city.
There is no curfew tonight, and every household in Chengdu is particularly lively.
The feeling of loneliness spread in the snowy night, like countless nooses emerging from the darkness, tightly wrapping around Wen Xingluo, trying to drag her into the dark and cold deep sea.
The girl turned and left the side yard.
The cold wind couldn't cool her increasingly hot cheeks. Her heart was pounding wildly, as if it desperately needed to find an outlet to vent.
She gazed at the dark snowy night, and suddenly a bold idea came to her mind—
Go to the border and find Xie Guanlan!
Cross the Xiling Snow Mountain and pass through Mount Gongga to taste the snow sprouts and deer ear leeks there, feel the sandstorms and blizzards outside the Great Wall, and see how Xie Guanlan commands thousands of troops!
The thought of going outside the Great Wall grew like a seed, sprouting and growing in the wind, until it turned into an overwhelming desire, completely obliterating her rationality.
The girl suddenly rolled up her skirt and ran wildly in the snow.
She led her little mare out of the stable and mounted the horse according to the knowledge that Xie Guanlan had taught her in the academy.
The pony ran through the streets and alleys in the snow.
Despite the biting wind and snow, Wen Xingluo felt an inexplicable warmth and joy.
However, that secret joy came to an abrupt end when they reached the city gate.
She dismounted and looked up at the huge, closed city gate.
The city gates were locked and she couldn't get out.
Behind her, every household was having a reunion and the whole night was bustling. She stood alone on the street, the drifting snow quietly fell on the tips of her hair, gradually draining the warmth from her body.
The girl lowered her head.
The iron lantern hanging in front of the horse's neck illuminated the falling snow. She looked at the pair of pearl-studded sandals on her feet. The expensive Shu brocade was slowly being soaked by the snow.
It's a bit uncomfortable to wear on your feet.
The girl silently loosened the reins.
She slowly squatted on the ground and buried her face in her palms.
She missed her fourth brother and Lezhi so much, and missed that person who always loved to lie...
Without them around, she felt so lonely on New Year's Eve.
Just when she was feeling so upset that she was about to cry, a paper umbrella suddenly fell over her head.
