Chapter 198: New Year's Day
Zhao Jing, where did he go?
Zhou Huaiyu held her cheek with one hand, thinking carefully about the last time the two met at the Reclining Buddha Temple, she really regarded that side as the last face of her life, so she didn't have any dislike and impatience in her heart, and walked slowly with him in the mountains and forests.
While admiring the scenery, she secretly watched his every move, only to find that he seemed to be watching her the whole time.
Zhou Huaiyu curled the corners of his lips. If Zhao Jing has no affection for her, she doesn't believe it, but ...... Thinking of Xie Huirou, Zhou Huaiyu was even more convinced that Zhao Jing had a deep affection for her.
Suddenly, Zhou Huaiyu sighed, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Big sister, you're actually drinking?"
Zhou Huaiyu was thinking about things, and suddenly there was an exclamation in her ear, she came back to her senses from her memories, and when she looked over, she saw Zhou Hanzhu pointing at her and making a fuss, the sound was so loud that I was afraid that the whole table would hear it, so everyone looked at her at the same time.
I don't know why, she recently felt that Zhou Hanzhu's hostility towards her had increased sharply, as if she was from the Qin family to marry her. Could it be that Zhou Hanzhu has seen the short-lived son of the Qin family and likes him?
Zhou Huaiyu swallowed the wine in his mouth and was about to speak, but at this time Zhou Xiao suddenly spoke: "Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone should not be restrained, it is okay to drink some wine, as long as you don't drink drowsy and unconscious, gaffe and rudeness." ”
Zhou Xiao, the marquis, has spoken, and others naturally won't say anything, but they all sighed in their hearts at the same time, Zhou Xiao's doting on Zhou Huaiyu really deserves its reputation.
And on Zhou Hanzhu's face, the pretended surprise was a little unbearable for a while, and then when he saw that his father, who had always loved him, suddenly didn't love him, and began to become so good to Zhou Huaiyu, his eyes turned red, and then he lowered his head suddenly.
She knew that this was a time of celebration, and if she was seen crying at this time, it would definitely displease her grandparents and father. But how could she hide from Zhou Mao and Zhou Xiao like this?
The gentleness on Zhou Mao's face fell, and he looked at Zhou Hanzhu coldly. The daughter is really useless, she will only do these things that are jealous and smear and frame the nest. He swept his eyes, in another two or three years, these daughters will all be able to marry, and in less than ten years, his Zhou family may be able to become as noble as the Qin family! Thinking of his ambition to dominate the industry, Zhou Mao took his eyes off Zhou Hanzhu's face, and the atmosphere on the table was also relaxed.
As his own daughter, of course, Zhou Xiao was also in pain, so he just frowned and glanced at it, and then saw that his father did not show an angry expression, and he was relieved in his heart, and continued to turn his head and talk to his father about things.
After the Zhou family's father and son continued to talk about the matter, everyone no longer paid attention to this matter, and no one easily caused trouble after that. And Zhou Hanzhu's move made both the Yan family and the Su family quite happy, they didn't take the initiative to cause trouble before.
-
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was popular to worship ancestors, and the ancestors of the Zhou family were in the southern countryside, so it was impossible for them to go back to the south, so everyone could only gather together again and worship their ancestors in the ancestral hall.
Because of last night's vigil, everyone's spirits were quite poor, even if they forcibly pretended to be very energetic, their eyes were full of exhaustion.
Zhou Mao and the Yan family were already old, and they kept frowning, adding a bit of seriousness to this ancestor worship.
Zhou Huaiyu had already experienced a Chinese New Year last year, and found that it was actually no different from the world after that, it was nothing more than everyone sitting together to eat and get together, and then worship the ancestors, send red envelopes, and be lively.
Because the Zhou family is now the "new upstart" in the capital, the people who come and go to visit it will continue until more than ten before it ends, and then it will be the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month.
On the fourteenth night, Zhou Huaiyu couldn't help but take Xiao Tao and Yue'er to the street to watch the lanterns.
Suzaku Street is hung twice and is filled with all kinds of exquisitely made lanterns. In order to attract everyone's attention to their own lanterns, the vendors will hang the most beautiful lamp in their house and compete with each other.
At this time, Zhou Huaiyu finally noticed some of the joy of the New Year.
The crowd on the street was almost immobile, Xiao Tao and Yue'er protected Zhou Huaiyu left and right, not letting anyone get close to her, but it was inevitable that they would occasionally be touched.
The three girls walked together, dressed gorgeously, with expensive jewelry, and more importantly, the three of them were good-looking, and they had already attracted the attention of everyone around them.
Zhou Huaiyu didn't have to pay attention to it at all, Yue'er and Xiao Tao had already refused, leaving those sons alone to look at their backs with a lonely expression.
In this spring, they finally met the girl who made their hearts move, but the girl didn't even look at herself, this relationship had not yet begun, it had ended, how could people not shiver in this cold early spring night!
Zhou Huaiyu smiled secretly, let you young people not know how to take care of your body, in order to pretend to be suave, you only wear a single coat and come out, you have to freeze out of your old cold legs!
Zhou Huaiyu didn't think he would be stupid and "beautiful and frozen", the three of them were dressed like a small ball, and after walking for a while, they all felt sweaty.
"Let's go, let's find a wide place to rest for a while. Zhou Huaiyu also felt tired, and then saw a stall selling small rice balls, and pulled the two girls over.
"Boss, come to three bowls of small rice balls, I want black sesame seeds, what about the two of you?"
"We're like girls. ”
"Okay, three girls, wait a minute. ”
Xiao Tao is from a poor family, and she is no stranger to sitting on the street to eat, but Yue'er is quite uncomfortable, and Zhou Huaiyu doesn't look relaxed, so Zhou Huaiyu comforted her: "Yue'er, don't be nervous, let's eat ours, everyone is busy watching the lanterns, so they won't care about us!" In fact, she was deceiving herself by saying this, because as soon as they came over, not long after they sat down, there were several more sons around who also sat down one after another and asked the boss for a bowl of rice balls.
Yue'er felt the gaze around her, and couldn't help but glare back one by one, until she saw that no one dared to look at them blatantly, then she said to Zhou Huaiyu with a bitter face: "Girl, why don't we buy some rice balls from this boss, let's go back and cook them ourselves, okay?"
"No!" Zhou Huaiyu raised her chin, she hadn't had such an experience for a long time, and it was really good to experience it occasionally, and even her depressed mood for a year was gone.
But as soon as she finished saying this, she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "Dare to ask, is the girl the eldest girl of the Zhou family?"
The voice was full of magnetism that he had never heard before, which made Zhou Huaiyu turn around instantly, and then he saw a tall, strong and sturdy black man.
