The most important part of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a big hot pot, which is proposed by Mother Zhang early in the morning to do, she said that in the big week this is a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner essential, said to symbolize the red fire, "fish" is even more essential, "more than every year" but old Ling'er, this dish comes from Guan Xiaoqing from the south, Chu Ning eats a bit like the taste of West Lake vinegar fish! There are also a lot of fried meatballs, red dates, fruits, etc., which is also exquisite, saying that it is to wish the family prosperity such as "cooking oil on fire" , and the sweet soup made of colorful little dumplings, this one is made of plums, only she has this patience, saying that it means "sweet and sweet".

After eating a meal for almost an hour, Chu Ning's stomach was already very full, if he didn't think about eating dumplings later, maybe he could eat some more, and everyone else could be regarded as having fun, no matter whether they missed their relatives in their hearts or not, they would not ruin everyone's interest.

Looking at it almost, Chu Ning took out the prepared red envelope, except for Xiao Lan, everyone sent one, it stands to reason that this should be sent by the elders, but now only Chu Ning is the master in this courtyard, and Xiao Lan is a guest, so it is absolutely not saved, for the four embroidery girls, Chu Ning is also regarded as the steward of the "water and clouds", so he did not refuse, and he also accepted it with a smile, and naturally said some auspicious words, but what Le Qiu said made Chu Ning almost laugh, "I wish Miss and everyone a happy New Year!"

Well, that's right, this is right, and as a result, Le Qiu said seriously: "I wish Miss and everyone a happy birthday!"

At first, everyone hadn't reacted, but when they reacted, they all held their stomachs and laughed, Le Qiu himself blushed, and he wished so many people a happy birthday, it was a laugh to death. (Statement: This is true, one year during the Chinese New Year, my mother called people to greet the New Year and said, 'Happy birthday to your family!' said that it is also called a voice and affection, sincere feelings, it is estimated that people on the other side of the phone are confused.) ）

In the midst of laughter, everyone removed the plates and bowls, and everyone began to make dumplings around the big table.

Except for Mama Zhang, there are all little girls here, this one said that the dumpling was good, and that one said who took my chopsticks, and after a while, the one yelled that his arm was sore and couldn't roll it out, and then you laughed at me for a little white on my forehead, so I will wipe a little bit of it for you, and laughed for a while, the candlelight and the fire in the brazier reflected the red cheeks of a lot of people, Chu Ning felt that such a year seemed to be a good one.

Laughter and laughter is not only this place, the Chenghua Hall of the Great Zhou Palace is brightly lit, the warm fragrance is on the face, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, royal relatives, princesses, concubines, ladies and ladies according to the grade, sit in front of the royal steps in turn, the emperor and the queen sit in a high position, now at this hour, has already drunk three rounds, the queen mother said that the physical strength is not enough to go back first, the emperor said "everyone is free", everyone is no longer confined to the seat, or take the initiative to toast to the emperor, the queen, or colleagues, The partners said some auspicious words for the New Year, and it seemed that it was very lively.

The queen is still very satisfied with her own banquet, although a lot of things have happened recently, but the emperor has already confessed, this palace banquet is more grand than in previous years, rushing to those bad luck, so the queen is also full of energy, at this time the queen mother, she is the biggest hostess here, looking at the concubines sitting under the royal steps can only look up to her, only she is qualified to sit next to the emperor, so this mood is still very wonderful.
