Mrs. Yan laughed and warmly patted Mrs. Xu's hand, "We're all one family, why are you still being polite with me? On the fifth day of the New Year, there will be lanterns released on Qinhuai River, as well as acrobatic performances, it'll be very lively. We'll head over at noon, I've already booked a private room for us. Let's watch the lion dance first and then we can watch the lanterns afterwards."

  Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly, she brought her children to stay for three days, the arrangement of these three days was obviously carefully planned every day, and the elder sister's attention to her family made her feel deeply moved and unable to express it in words.

  In the past, it was all harmed by Zhong Baozi.

  Mrs. Yan again sent someone to see if Li Wensong and Li Wenshan had returned, heard that the two as soon as they came back, were taken out by Li Chuo to attend some kind of literary meeting, and no longer paid attention to the two, let people prepare the car, a group of people got on the car, under the protection of the servants and maids, left the Chuo government office, slowly passed by Xi Xia Temple.

  Li Xia was focused on Li Wen Nan, imitating her, and Li Wen Nan pulled her along, chattering nonstop. Li Xia didn't notice what Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Xu were saying.

  Li Xia, Li Wenlan and Li Wennan spent the whole afternoon playing at Qixia Temple. In the afternoon, they went to Fuzi Temple. Yan Fu Ren and Xu Tai Tai sat on the tea house, watching Li Wennan and others strolling around and shopping downstairs while chatting. Li Dong sat beside them, also keeping his eyes on Li Wenlan and Li Xia without looking away.

  Three people on the street downstairs, Li Wen Nan sees what to buy what, Li Wen Ran sees Li Wen Nan buying something and stares wide-eyed once, takes a light breath, so expensive! Li Xia, however, remembers one by one what Li Wen Nan looked at and bought. These things, when she sees them later, will also look like this... just buy it, if Li Wen Nan buys it, she'll take a few more glances.

  After having enough fun, returned to the Xunsi government office, had dinner, Li Xia went back to the Huifang Institute house, and fell onto the bed, too tired to move, it turns out being a kid is so tiring!

  The next day, Man Qing picked out a bright red pomegranate skirt for Li Xia, a stone-blue jacket, and still wore the two strings of crimson gold hundred-flower hundred-fruit necklace. She also brought out a bright red feather-trimmed small hat, and while helping Li Xia change into them, she laughed and said: "Seventh Lady just sent someone to pass on a message saying that she's wearing this same outfit today, and Ninth Lady must wear the exact same thing."

  Li Dong smiled, she really liked this sunny and cheerful seventh sister. This seventh sister really liked Ah Xia.

  After a while, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Xue brought out several children, tidied up and came out. Outside, Li Wensong and Li Wenshan were already waiting at the second gate. The group got on their vehicles, some on carriages and others on horseback, heading towards the Tang Mansion.

  The Tang family's Fu Xiao Si Ya Men is not too far away, and after half a time, the carriage stopped at the second door of the Tang family.

  At the second gate, Tang Chengyi's eldest daughter-in-law, Gu Shi, had already come out with her three children: Tang Jiaxuan, the eldest daughter; Tang Jiaxian, the eldest son; and Tang Jiayu, the youngest daughter.

  Mrs. Yan got off the car, and Gu Dainai hurriedly stepped forward to greet her with a smile, "It's been a while since we last met, you look even better than when you were in Beijing."

  The Tang family and the Li family were barely considered frequent visitors, but because of their relationship with the maternal side, Mrs. Yan and Madame Gu often saw each other, and they got along very well. It had been over a year since they last met, and as they sized each other up, they both felt extremely delighted.

  "Mrs. Dai looks even better now. This is my third daughter-in-law, she went to Taiyuan Prefecture when you hadn't arrived in the capital yet." Madam Yan said as she glanced at Mrs. Xu getting off the carriage and hastily pulled her over to introduce her to Grandma Guo.

  "Mrs. San and you do have a few similarities, one look is enough to tell that you are from the same family." Old Lady Gu was also very good at talking, she quickly pulled over Mrs. Xu, took a closer look for a few seconds, then turned to smile at Madam Yan.

  "This is you flattering me!" Mrs. Yan laughed, "I knew you were partial to me, acknowledging your praise."

  Mrs. Xu was at a loss for words, Old Lady Gu held her hand with one hand and pushed Mrs. Yan with the other, "It's windy outside, it's cold today, let's go inside to talk."

  Li Xia and Li Wennan stood hand in hand, carefully sizing up their surroundings.

  Compared with Gu's family, she has more respect for Tang's family, and this respect is mostly due to Tang Chengyi, the former minister of Tang.

  Jin Cuishan always looked down on others, even after she became the Empress Dowager, she still often glanced at them sideways with disdain. However, in front of Tang Chengyi, Jin Cuishan never failed to show respect, always standing with her hands hanging down and a humble attitude.

  She asked once, and Jin Shu said that her private virtue could be half of Tang Shangshu's, and he respected her so much.

  This old house of the Tang family is very much like Tang Chengyi, it's just four words: returning to simplicity and authenticity.

  In front of the two, San Niangzi Tang Jia-shan let Li Dong and Li Wen-fang pass, turned her head to signal that she was holding hands with Li Wen-nan and Li Xia, who were dressed exactly alike. "Sister Nan, you go ahead, you follow behind, it's definitely going to be a troublemaker again."

  "I'm not naughty at all, I've grown up." Li Wen Nan looked very familiar with Tang Jia Shan, wrinkled her nose at Tang Jia Shan and hummed.

  Li Xia looked at Li Wen Nan, then looked at Tang Jia Shan. She only knew that Tang Jia Shan treated Li Wen Nan very well, and it turned out they had been close since childhood.

  "Is this Xia? She's really beautiful, even more so than our own Jade." Tang Jia Shan couldn't help but stare at Li Xia a few more times, her eyes and mouth full of praise, as she said this while nudging her younger sister Tang Jia Yu.

  Tang Jiayu looked at Li Xia with a face full of delight and admiration, "Seventh sister, your younger sister is more beautiful than you, much more beautiful."

  Li Xia glanced at Tang Jia Yu and then pretended to be shy, lowering her eyelids.

  At that time, when she saw her for the first time, she also had such an expression and said: "Are you Li Guiren? You're really beautiful, much more beautiful than Seventh Sister..."

  At that time, she knelt down to the ground with a solemn and respectful expression, paying her respects to Tang Guiyi, who had just entered the palace for a few days and was promoted to Guixi.

  "My sister is definitely prettier than me, do you need to say that!" Li Wen Nan was obviously a bit unhappy, and she let out a loud hum at Tang Jia Yu, pulling Li Xia along. "Let's go ahead, Lan Ge, you come too!"

  Li Wenlan pulled Li Dun's hand and dragged him forward, with Li Wenhua following closely behind.

  "Wait for me!" Tang Jia Yu hastily lifted her skirt and chased after, while Tang Jia Shan quickly gestured to her younger brother Tang Jia Xian, "You go too, keep Li's little brother company."

  Tang Jiaxian looked at the four little kids running together in front of him with a somewhat unwilling expression, "Let me accompany the children..."

  "Aren't you a kid? Go quickly." Tang Jiaxuan patted her brother's shoulder and bluntly shut down his complaints.

  Li Dong couldn't help but smile, she liked the big uncle's house even more than this Tang family home. Before coming, she thought that a household like the Tangs would be high and above, but as soon as they entered this mansion, it made people feel comfortable and at ease. The siblings were also similar to her own brothers and sisters.
