242. Chinese New Year's Eve
The snow fell all day and finally stopped in the evening.
Jin Se cut a window flower with a happy eyebrow and gave it to Chan Yi, "Miss, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, let's also put a few window flowers on the glass window in our room to celebrate and celebrate." β
Chanyi was cleaning up the dressing box, her eyes raised, she glanced at the window flower with her eyebrows, and a smile appeared on her face, "It's so well cut, just stick it on the glass window next to the warm kang, you can see it when you look up." β
Jin Se smiled and nodded, and cut out several pieces of hands and feet, Jade Rabbit pounded medicine, there were fish every year, and the Fu character pattern was cut a lot, and he went to get the paste, and lightly pasted it on the glass window.
The sun gradually disappeared behind the mountain, the afterglow of the setting sun shone in from the glass window with paper-cutting, faintly revealing a soft warm light, this is the last day of Longxing's nineteenth year, and the first Chinese New Year's Eve after Chanyi's rebirth, she looked at the sunset that was about to fall, and silently thought in her heart, no matter how bumpy or dangerous the road ahead, she would never be afraid again.
Chanyi opened the box in her hand, took out the silk flowers she bought before in the box, divided two flowers per person, and beckoned the maids waiting in the yard to come over, "Everyone has worked hard this year, nothing good, two silk flowers for one person, which one you like, and you will wear it to be festive and festive." β
In addition to Jinping and Jinse, there are three second-class maids and four third-class maids in Xiaolan, Minglan and Dielan, and there are a few crimson flowers left in the box in a blink of an eye.
The maid who took the silk flower was busy thanking her, on the one hand, Xie Chanyi's reward, on the other hand, Xie Jinping Jinse's care over the past year, Chanyi smiled and rewarded another person with a red seal, and then took out the two silver hairpins that had been played before and gave Jinping and Jinse.
The eyes of the two maids immediately watered, you know, a silver hairpin is about to weigh one or two taels of silver, not to mention the process of making zuΓ² silver hairpins, busy to Chanyi saluted and thanked her, Chanyi smiled and accepted the gift of the two of them.
When the sun had not yet set behind the mountain, Chanyi took Jinse Jinping and the two to Dongnuan Pavilion.
Xie Shi was wrapping Feng Hong, and when he saw Chan Yi coming over, he gave her a big Feng Hong, and said with a smile: "After today, I will be a year older, and I will be more dignified and stable in the future, but I can't be as frizzy as before." β
Chanyi should be respectful, turned her head to look, didn't see Xianyi, and asked, "Didn't the fourth sister come over?"
Xie wrapped the seal and said lightly: "She was called away by Aunt Yan, and said that she would go directly to Fushoutang later, and I didn't have the heart to care about their lawsuits, just go over with a big face." β
Chan Yi couldn't help frowning, Aunt Yan asked Xian Yi to go over to let Xian Yi go to a private meeting with the prince on the Shangyuan Festival, she smiled lightly, if Xian Yi could listen to her warning, she would definitely come to her, if she didn't listen, she wouldn't help her clean up the mess if something happened.
She comforted Xie softly: "They don't even bother to pay attention to their grandmother, you don't have to worry about it, if they do anything out of the ordinary, father and grandmother will not spare them, you, or An An Shengsheng raised his body, more important than anything else, didn't An Li Gongzi say a few days ago, those few pairs of medicine can't be stopped, your body is still damaged after all, you look at grandmother, the same is diagnosed by An Li Gongzi, grandmother is now well, you don't even need to take medicine, you have to continue to take medicine, you talk about ......it."
Xie smiled and twisted her nose, "It's really what your grandmother said, you have been in charge of the house for a few days, and you have developed the temperament of a little housekeeper, and even your mother will be nagged by you." β
Chanyi dodged it, got into Xie's arms, hugged Xie's waist and said in a muffled voice: "You don't like me, no matter how disgusted you are, it's the meat that fell from you, your body is better, my brothers and I will be good, I just hope that our family will get better and better, and there will be no more worries about those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods." β
Xie touched Chanyi's hair and smiled happily.
Chanyi helped Xie put away the red seals, picked out a cloisonnΓ© ruby butterfly hairpin and put it on his head, looked left and right, smiled and took Xie's hand and walked towards Fushoutang.
Ming Mo was carrying a big eight-treasure box and walked in, and when she saw Xie and Chanyi, she hurriedly saluted and said: "The old lady instructed the slave and maid to bring the fruit, just now the old man and the second master also arrived, and the old lady is waiting for the lady and the second lady." β
Xie nodded, the little maid at the door opened the curtain and let them in, and through the screen, she saw Mrs. Xia just finished the Buddha, sitting in the middle of the hall, drinking tea gently, and when she saw Chanyi coming in, she waved to her with a smile.
Chanyi respectfully made a big salute, sang a New Year's greeting in her mouth, kowtowed before getting up, Mrs. Xia handed her the red seal that had been prepared earlier, stretched out her hand to hug her, and said with a smile: "We are a year older sooner or later." β
Chanyi pinched the bulging red seal in her hand, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and she saluted Xia Shijing and Xia Mingche, Xia Shijing handed her a seal red, which was obviously not as thick as that given by Mrs. Xia and Xie, and she didn't care.
Xia Shijing was testing Xia Mingche's knowledge before, Xia Mingche answered all the questions Xia Shijing, and the expression on Xia Shijing's face was satisfied, "This year's Spring Festival can be used to try your hand." β
Xia Mingche respectfully agreed, and saluted Xie again, Xie reached out and touched Xia Mingche's hair lovingly, gave him a red seal, and instructed: "Since you want to participate in the Spring Festival, you have to hurry up these days, and ask your fifth uncle more if you have any questions." β
Xia Mingche nodded, Chanyi saw that Xie was chattering, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother, I asked people to prepare a hot pot today, our family hasn't eaten together for a long time, we just had a lively meal today, and the big kitchen also has dumplings, let's eat the pot and eat some dumplings, and we can set off firecrackers in the yard." β
Old Madam Xia nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand to pull her up, and said with a smile: "This year can be regarded as a year of ups and downs, and our family will definitely be better next year." β
Chanyi's thoughts in her heart are the same as that of Mrs. Xia, no matter how bad it is this year, it will be over after all, she smiled and handed the red seal to Jinping to help put it away, and then took the cloak out of Jinse's hand, it was a dark green cloak that she had made for Mrs. Xia before, and the snow-colored edge was very good-looking.
ββ¦β¦ It was done a few days earlier, and I was afraid that it would not be strong, so I deliberately sewed a circle of edges, so I dared to take it out for you. As he spoke, he smiled and gave Mrs. Xia a try, and found that the size was just right, so she asked Ming Mo on the side to put it away.
Xian Yi stepped on the last light of the sunset and entered Fushoutang, and when she saw that everyone was there, she saluted respectfully.
The smile on Old Mrs. Xia's face faded, gave her a red seal, and Zhang asked everyone to go to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.
Outside the window, the sky was already dark, and the lanterns under the eaves of the porch were swaying in the wind, and the lights were projected down, showing a strange and rugged shadow.
