Chapter 67: Chinese New Year's Eve

The night of Chinese New Year's Eve in the fourth year of Yongtai is destined to be different from previous years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the imperial palace, it is still the same as before, with the Empress Dowager, Emperor Yongtai, and Empress Pei as the heads, and the concubines of each palace are dressed up to attend the family banquet.

The difference is that there are four more bright and fresh new faces at this year's royal family dinner.

The princesses and concubines are in their youth, accompanying the four princes in their prime, which makes people instantly feel the vitality of the royal family.

Ordinary people like their children and grandchildren to prosper, and the royal family is even more so.

Even Emperor Yongtai, who has a serious expression all the year round, has a lot more smiles than usual, not to mention the Empress Dowager, who is over seventy years old.

The great-grandchildren married their great-granddaughters-in-law, which not only means that she is about to hold her great-grandson, but also indicates that there is a successor to the Yuwen royal family, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has a long history, and there is nothing more comforting for her old age than this.

Even if she was to be asked to see her ancestors and ancestors immediately, she would be able to feel at ease.

Because His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are in a good mood, this year's rewards are also extraordinarily rich, and everyone in the palace is very happy from the masters of the palace to the rough palace maids.

Also very lively is the Dingbei Royal Mansion, Princess Yongfu, who has not returned to Beijing for ten years, and Huo Xiao returned to the royal palace on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although they don't get along well with the Huo family, after all, they are still the eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson of the Dingbei Palace, and everyone, whether it is true or not, has a smile on their faces.

The family banquet was also arranged more sumptuous than in previous years, and even the fireworks were set off for half an hour.

Unlike the bustle of the Imperial Palace and the Dingbei Royal Mansion, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve in the Jingnan Marquis Mansion was warm and sad.

After the family banquet was dispersed, the family of the second room gathered together in the old lady's Chunhui Hall to celebrate the New Year.

Yuan Xiang was already a married daughter, and Chinese New Year's Eve was destined to be separated from her family.

Gu Xi, who likes to be lively the most, seemed extraordinarily quiet, crooked on the kang and watched Doudou and Yuanjing Yuanwei play.

Doudou's identity is about to be revealed after the year, which the old lady and Yuan Zheng know each other, and she herself knows it.

Whether it is the revelation of her life or the possibility of getting married after the marriage, this may be the last time she will spend Chinese New Year's Eve with her grandmother and father in the Jingnan Hou Mansion.

Doudou has a thousand reluctances in his heart, and cherishes this rare reunion more and more.

Only by playing around with two mischievous younger brothers can she feel a little more comfortable.

However, no matter how the family disguised it, there was still a faint sadness in Chunhui Hall.

Gu Chao sighed to Yuan Zheng very rarely: "In a few months, Yuan'er will get married, and there will only be a few of us left on Chinese New Year's Eve next year, and it will be more and more deserted." ”

Yuan Zheng was astringent in his heart, even if it wasn't because of marriage, the second daughter would have to recognize her relatives after the year.

He sighed: "Everyone in the world has come like this, why should my wife sigh in vain, when my father-in-law and mother-in-law sent your sisters to marry, I must have felt the same bitterness in my heart." ”

Although he said ruthlessly that day, he also knew that he had no position to prevent his second daughter from returning to the Pei family.

Of course, it all depends on the attitude of the second daughter.

He also leaned on the kang like Gu Chao, looking at the three children with a smile, especially his second daughter, Yuan Yuan.

There is a Zhixi, and there is an orchid.

Eight years have passed, and the situation of recognizing the second daughter that day is still very clear.

The little girl who was completely different from children of the same age, and even as smart and lively as a little monster, is still so cute.

He could have trained her to be a real noblewoman, but he couldn't bear to erase her nature.

The superposition of various factors finally created such a special second daughter.

Such a good daughter is about to be cheap Pei Tingyan, and there is a stinky boy surnamed Huo......

The most unusual mansion is the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

The old Weiyuan Hou couple are both long-lived, and today's Weiyuan Hou Mansion is already five generations in the same house.

The most significant feature of a family of five generations is that there are many people.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve was as lively as in previous years, and there was a large group of people in Wuyang and Wuyang when worshipping ancestors alone.

The family banquet was held in the Fuze Hall where Mrs. Yang lived.

Although Pei Tingyan and Gu Xi are not the eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, they are the most proud grandchildren in the hearts of the old Weiyuan Hou couple.

According to the habits of previous years, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the old lady Yang was not close to him.

Gu Xi is smart, capable, and a good person, who can not only arrange the affairs of the old lady properly, but also handle the proportions just right, so that other people in the house can't find thorns at all.

Based on this alone, Lao Yang felt that his decision to snatch Gu Xi back to his own house to be his granddaughter-in-law was extremely wise.

But this year's Gu Xi was a little listless, as if he was not interested in the affairs of the house at all.

Lao Yang summoned her to ask her carefully, and when he learned that she was feeling unwell, he told her to rest well, but he was not suspicious.

This granddaughter-in-law is the most sensible, if it weren't for her illness, she couldn't support it, and she wouldn't be so disappointed.

In fact, Gu Xi was not sick at all, she had important things to do tonight, where did she still have the heart to care about whether the family banquet in the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion was hot or not, and the old lady was not happy.

Listening to the old lady telling her to rest, Gu Xi was not stubborn, and after whispering a sentence in Pei Tingyan's ear, she retired to the elders and returned to Xixia Courtyard accompanied by Mama Zhang.

Pei Jinxin is also cowardly, since she came back from the palace that day, she doesn't like to go out even more.

It is not difficult for Fu Shaoyun to change the temper of the eldest lady, but it is not easy to add fragrance to Fu Shaoyun's red sleeves.

She didn't like to read at all in the past, and it was so difficult to be a talented woman with poetry and books.

Parents are not concerned about themselves, and children's feelings are often the keenest.

In the past, Gu Xi didn't know how much it took to let Pei Jinxin read more books, but Pei Jinxin didn't appreciate it very much.

Now she wants her talented mother to give her advice, but she finds that her mother's mind doesn't seem to be on her side lately.

It's not that she doesn't care about herself, but that the full care and love doesn't seem to be as strong as before.

Pei Jinxin felt a faint loss in his heart, could it be that he had done too many things to disappoint his mother, and his mother was angry?

Where did she still have the heart to keep the New Year, so she made up an excuse and took the maids back to Ruixin Garden.

As soon as the time passed, the family banquet in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was completely over, and the masters of each room continued to wipe the cards and listen to the play in good spirits, and the sleepy ones went back to their rooms to rest.

Pei Tingyan felt a little irrepressible excitement in his heart.

Since that year, he was calculated by his sister and daughter to sleep with other women, and this is the first time in eight years that Mrs. has taken the initiative to invite her to Xixia Courtyard.

He even had the excitement of a hairy boy dating his first time with a master.

After telling Chang Sui Pei Wang a few words, he walked towards the Xixia Courtyard with his long legs.
