Chapter 200: Farewell to the Old and Welcome to the New

When the long dark night cleared the heavy night fog, it was finally the day of the year-end Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Cheng Jinzhi didn't sleep well last night.

Not only because of the dizziness after drinking so much mare's milk wine, but also because he was frightened by Gao Heng as soon as he recovered, and he still had something on his mind in his heart, in short, this state was a little bad.

But she still got up early today, and regardless of Gao Heng's attitude, she picked out a new dress with a brighter color and forced him to wear it, and she also changed into a magenta beaded satin embroidered cigarette cage skirt.

It was made with the silk tribute that Emperor Zhou had given to the royal family a few days ago, and she specially kept it for the New Year.

Then he ordered Taxue to put on a brighter makeup for himself, thinking that when he entered the palace later, he would definitely meet many fierce clan ladies, even if he was not as beautiful as a fairy, at least he had to dress up, and he couldn't lose the face of Gao Heng, the king of Yan.

Seeing that the time was still early, he ordered the people in the palace to decorate the inside and outside of the Yanwang Mansion, and when he saw that everything was done, he returned to the main hall.

Because of Gao Heng's increasing status and prestige in the court, the Yanwang Mansion receives New Year's gifts from various officials, large and small officials, as well as princes and nobles at this time of year.

Of course, Gao Heng usually just looks at the gift list, and then hands it over to Shen Jun to deal with, and even the return gift is naturally handled by him, and he never asks in person, let alone opens the gift box.

And since Cheng Jinzhi married into the palace, as the hostess of the mansion, she will help deal with some complicated and trivial matters in the mansion, such as receiving gifts this year, she has shared a lot for Shen Jun.

Of course, her help is fake, curiosity is real, after all, when this woman hears the word gift, she will always involuntarily want to find out.

So at the moment, looking at these mountains of beautifully decorated gift boxes in front of me, after marveling at the prestige of my husband, I naturally felt itchy palms, and I couldn't help but lift my sleeves and reach out to remove them.

However, after she picked up the good-looking packaging and opened a few, she saw that it was either jewelry and jade or ceramic tea, and there were nothing particularly fresh, so she felt a little bored for a while, so she told Taxue to bring the gift list, thinking that she would do it when she saw something she was interested in.

But when I think about it, I used to be so short of food and clothing, and I was poor, and now I have lost interest in these gold and silver treasures, it must be that this rich life is too comfortable, and my brain has been broken.

recalled that when he was in the Cheng Mansion in the past, the Cheng family was also a big recipient of gifts, but in addition to secretly glancing at the gifts that piled up most of the main hall when serving tea and water, watching the Zhang family and the Liu family, as well as the pair of Cheng family sisters, pick up this string of pearls, and put down the golden step shake, her eyes lit up with joy, and she only had envy, jealousy and hatred.

In Cheng Jinzhi's impression, the capital of the New Year is always noisy with firecrackers, fire paper everywhere, every family keeps the New Year, and the city is full of jubilation.

However, because it is a time of year to symbolize family reunion, there are not many people on the street, except for children who like to play and set off fireworks in front of their homes.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the markets are basically closed, and the annual dragon and lion dances are held in the city, beating gongs and drums.

At this time, every family will start to put on new clothes, take their children, bring gifts, and run to the homes of relatives and elders to pay New Year's greetings.

In the past, when she was in Cheng Mansion, she was always excluded by that large family, hiding in a small corner of the backyard listening to the lively sound of firecrackers outside the house wall, eating the leftovers of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal from the dining room.

If you're lucky, you can sneak out of the house and walk around the street, get close to those children you don't know, and set off firecrackers together.

But such opportunities are simply handful in her memory.

Normally, she can't eat a decent Chinese New Year's Eve dinner near the end of the year, let alone any gifts and money.

Even if you want to set off some fireworks to help out the fun, you can only follow the Cheng sisters' butts and see them discarded, which is really pitiful.

What made her even more speechless was that today, the Cheng family knew that they were going to enter the palace to attend the meeting, and the Cheng family specially sent someone to invite herself and Gao Heng to the mansion to gather together to celebrate the New Year.

According to the practice of previous years, Emperor Zhou would set up a family banquet in the palace to celebrate the New Year with his concubines, princes and clansmen.

Gao Heng, as the prince, and Cheng Jinzhi, as the princess, naturally have to enter the palace for a banquet together.

It's just that it's not yet noon, and Emperor Zhou's family banquet is set in the evening, so she is not in a hurry to enter the palace and wants to stay in the palace for a while.

In fact, in Cheng Jinzhi's heart, he didn't want to enter the palace at all.

Not to mention that this room full of pretentious imperial relatives and relatives, there is also Emperor Zhou pressing, his every word and deed and every move must be carefully considered, looking forward and backward, I am afraid that even a chopstick is not comfortable, and I have to say flattery against my will, which is the pleasure of reunion, it is simply humiliation.

Thanks to Cheng Jinzhi, he specially instructed the people in the mansion to buy all kinds of fireworks and put them in the utility room a few days ago, thinking that they would hold a fireworks display in the palace compound at night, and then call Gao Xun, a lonely man, so that the people in the mansion would also be lively.

She sighed in disappointment as she thought about it, but before she could finish her sigh, she reached out and covered her mouth.

"Good luck, new year, new weather, can not sigh. ”

As he was talking, Treading Snow and Looking for Mei had already taken the gift list and brought it to Cheng Jinzhi.

These two girls are also dressed in new clothes today, and their faces are full of red.

It is rare to have a New Year, Gao Heng's welfare is good, not only for them in the mansion specially bought them a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, then each has a pressure money, for these people who think they have a humble status, naturally happy.

"Princess, you look so good in this dress today, and you must be the most dazzling and eye-catching one when you enter the palace for a while, and you must not envy those ladies and princesses in the harem to death when the time comes. ”

Taxue smiled and slapped her palms and said, Xunmei followed to help on the side, even if Cheng Jinzhi is not a soft-eared person, this is also beautiful in his heart.

"Just the two of you have sweet mouths, like honey, take it, it has been prepared for you two long ago. ”

Cheng Jinzhi thinks that he is a good master, this fireworks festival may not have landed tonight, but this New Year's money has already helped them prepare properly, compared with previous years, it has also increased the weight, when even took out two red envelopes and handed them to Treading Snow Xunmei.

As soon as they saw this big red envelope, the two girls laughed and trembled, and thanked them again and again, and Cheng Jinzhi also showed a happy smile on his face.
