Qiu's eyes suddenly stared at Jing Yan sharply. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 "Why not? Yan'er, although he is not from your father, he is also your eldest brother, and you can watch him marry a woman with a bad reputation!"

"Mother!" Jing Yan's eyes suddenly turned red sadly. "How can you think so much about the child? The child objected because the eldest brother had chosen the marriage himself, and he also paid a dowry. If you take advantage of his absence to withdraw from your family, your relationship with him is not good, and when he comes back and learns that his relatives have been withdrawn, he will definitely hate you. ”

Qiu Shi looked at Jing Yan's sad red eyes, panicked and distressed, and hurriedly remedied: "Yan'er, my mother said the wrong thing when I was confused, don't you be angry with your mother, okay?"

Jing Yan stepped forward and shook one of Qiu's hands, and said with a filial face: "It's the child who can't relieve his mother's worries." ”

"Good boy. Qiu choked and patted the back of Jing Yan's hand twice. "It would be nice if your eldest brother was half sensible if you were half-sensible, when he was abducted by someone's teeth, it was just an accident, but he has always been obsessed. It's been four years since I came back, and I still refuse to forgive me for being a mother. ”

Jing Yan looked at Qiu's sad and sad appearance, his eyes flashed with a complicated light, he wanted to say something and stopped, and finally didn't say anything.

He suspected that it was not an accident that his eldest brother was abducted by his teeth, but by his father.

Otherwise, how to explain that since the eldest brother returned home, his father's temperament has changed greatly, and he simply treats the eldest brother as an ancestor, and treats him as a stepson better than his only biological son.

In his opinion, his father must have been a thief.

But this matter is just his speculation, he has no evidence and can't say it, so he can only bury it in his heart.

Qiu didn't know that the son in front of him was hiding a lot of things from her, and muttered to himself: "Your eldest brother hates me, and you really can't take advantage ......of his absence to withdraw from his family, in case he moves out of the house in anger and completely breaks off the mother-son relationship with me." ”

His eyes rolled, and he counted on his mind. "I can't take the place of your eldest brother and withdraw from this family matter, and I can't make him hate me even more, but what if the other party takes the initiative to withdraw from the marriage?" I don't know what came to mind, and the smile on the corner of my mouth widened and widened.

Jing Yan looked at the Qiu clan and didn't know what idea he was making, and frowned tightly and didn't know how to persuade him.

On the next day's Chinese New Year's Eve, families took down the old lanterns and replaced them with new ones, pasted new couplets, and immersed themselves in joy.

Zhuo Nan sat at the table, holding his chin with one hand, and looked at Qing Dai with admiration as they were pasting all kinds of exquisite window flowers on the windows.

She also tried to cut one, but it didn't work out, so she didn't try again.

Mama Qian even replaced all Zhuo Nan's bedding with brand new.

Some of the old furnishings in the room were removed and replaced with taller and more valuable things.

In just one day, the whole room has completely changed, and what was once simple and elegant is now full of luxury.

Zhuo Nan turned around and looked at it a few times, and understood that this was the New Year, so grand, and some obstructive decorations would still be put away after the New Year.

The snow in the courtyard and the others didn't have the strength to clean it up, so they called the little maids in the outer courtyard to work together with the rough mother-in-law to eradicate it, and piled it up in the corner or under the big tree.

Even though everyone is busy, their faces are full of joy.

Zhuo Nan is the most laid-back one, watching them busy.

Soon it was time for dinner and reunion dinner, and the fifth aunt sent a little maid to come and inform Zhuo Nan to eat in the flower hall.

Mother Qian rewarded the little maid who came to report the letter, looked at Zhuo Nan and said, "Miss, now that the fifth aunt is in charge of the house, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner is all handled by her, I don't know how the meal is." ”

Zhuo Nan responded lightly: "You don't know if you go." "I took all the maids and maids to the flower hall.

The courtyard of the flower hall is full of tables for the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion to eat, and it is only once a year.

Naturally, the masters ate in the hall.

The snow in the yard has long been cleared, and even the big trees are lit up, and there is joy everywhere.

Zhuo Nan stood in the courtyard, watching the minions and slaves in the courtyard shuttling non-stop, serving food to the table. Retracted his gaze and glanced at Qing Dai and said, "Tonight Chinese New Year's Eve does not need you to serve, change to Tian'er and wait for me to eat, you follow Bai Wei and them to eat together." ”

Qing Dai saluted and thanked her. "Miss Xie. ”

Mama Qian stepped forward and said, "Miss, Tian'er is still young, and I look forward to having a reunion dinner with everyone, why don't you serve you instead of Tian'er?"

"Who said that? Her task is to protect Miss, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will gather at the reunion dinner tonight, in case it is not good for Miss to sneak in, and it is useless for her to commit suicide and apologize.

Mama Qian looked helplessly at Qing Yan's jumping feet, thinking that she was kind, and the girl didn't appreciate it.

All the maids and mothers-in-law stayed in the courtyard to find their place.

The farther out of the courtyard are the seats of the third-class minions, and the closer to the inside, the more the seats at the entrance of the flower hall are the seats for the second-class maids or grandmothers.

As for the first-class maids, they have to serve the master's meal, and there is no place for them, and they only have their turn when the master runs out.

Zhuo Nan walked into the flower hall with Qing Yan alone.

The seats in the hall are divided into left and right sides, and a screen is placed in the middle to separate them.

The screen on the right has only one table, while on the left there are three tables.

Zhuo Nan judged at a glance that the table on the right was for the prime minister and Prince Zhou to enjoy, and on the left was their young ladies and aunts.

Last time, they all ate at the same table, but this time they were separated by a screen.

After thinking about it, this time the prime minister's concubines, whether they are favored or unfavored, all have to show up for a reunion dinner, and it is more appropriate to make a screen to separate them, after all, there is an outsider Zhou Wangye.

Zhuo Ran and the others came earlier than Zhuo Nan, and they had already occupied the first seat on the left-hand side.

Zhuo Qing's left is the third aunt, the right is Zhuo Ran, and the other side of Zhuo Ran is the fifth aunt, leaving only the last empty position.

The other unfavored aunts sat at the second and third tables.

Zhuo Nan walked over to the first empty position with Qing Yan. Passing by the aunts, the tip of his nose smelled all kinds of strange fragrances on their bodies, and he couldn't help frowning slightly and holding his breath.

These unfavored aunts rarely see the prime minister once, and now they are dressed up for the reunion dinner, and they want to take the opportunity to attract his attention.

When Zhuo Nan walked over, all the aunts greeted each other with jealous eyes.

Zhuo Nan ignored it and walked straight to the first table and sat down in the empty seat, but this empty seat was the main seat.

The fifth aunt saw Zhuo Nan sitting on the main seat without hesitation, and the light of the conspiracy succeeded flashed in her eyes.

Zhuo Nan took the fifth aunt's reaction in full view and didn't take it seriously at all. The corner of his eye swept towards Zhuo Qing and Zhuo Ran, and found that the two of them looked haggard and tired.

Since eating at the same table with Zhou Wangye that day, the two of them sat with their backs to the door and blew the cold wind for more than an hour, and returned to the courtyard and contracted the wind cold.

In the past two days, the decoction has been continuous, and his face is naturally haggard.
