Chapter 102: The New Year is Approaching
"Yao'er, come up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Qi Guan Junyao stretched out his hands and shouted softly to Qing Yao.
Qing Yao smiled and nodded, and also stretched out her hands.
Seeing this, Qi Guanjun Yao chuckled and leaned over to take the person into his arms.
He tugged at his cloak and held the man in his arms tightly.
"Sit tight ......"
Qing Yao pulled the fluffy cloak, leaned on the warm embrace of the person behind her, and nodded.
"Driving ......"
Qi Guanjun Yao vacated his arm, firmly encircled the person in his arms, and rode forward.
"Da Da Da ......"
In the quiet streets, the sound of horses' hooves is so clear.
Qing Yao listened to the whirring wind in her ears, felt the warm embrace of the person behind her, and closed her eyes with a smile.
In the following days, as the Spring Festival drew closer, the originally deserted streets gradually became lively.
Qing Yao looked at the smiling crowd on the street, and there was a hint of smile in her eyes.
"Senior Sister Qingyao, are you looking at Senior Sister?"
Juniper came slowly, and at a glance he saw her smiling.
Qing Yao looked back at the person who came, and replied gently: "Senior Brother Juniper, look outside......"
"Outside?"
Juniper muttered and looked at the street outside the shop in confusion.
When he saw the pedestrians coming and going, he instantly understood the other party's intentions.
"It's almost the New Year, and everyone is starting to prepare for the New Year. ”
Qing Yao thought about the sound of firecrackers that she had often heard recently, and nodded with a smile. "yes, it's almost the New Year. ”
"Senior Sister Qingyao, you can celebrate the New Year with us this year. ”
Hearing this, Qing Yao pondered for a moment before bowing her head slightly, "Okay." ”
Although she hopes to spend the New Year with that person, she also understands that the other party must be by her family's side at that time.
Today is the last day that the Rejuvenation Hall is closed, and Qing Yao is sorting out and counting the medicinal materials at the moment.
At this time, a woman dressed as a maid walked in slowly, and after walking back and forth in the hall, she noticed Qing Yao at the counter.
"Third Miss ......"
Hearing this, Qing Yao raised her head with some doubts. But when I thought about the person who would call me like this, I understood who the person was.
So she looked at the person calmly and said lightly, "Say, what's the matter?"
"Third Miss, the lord invites you to go home for the New Year......
"No, I'm going to spend the New Year here this year......"
"But ......"
"No, you can go back. ”
The maid hesitated for a moment, and after nodding, she turned around and went back, the words had already been passed on, as for whether the third lady would go back, it was not something she should interfere with.
Qing Yao watched the maid slowly leave, and calmly withdrew her gaze.
In her heart, no matter what the Du family wants to do, it is of no use to her, after all, she is not a woman who can be bullied by the other party at will.
After returning to Du Sihai's side, the maid conveyed Qing Yao's words in detail.
After pondering for a moment, Du Sihai asked suspiciously: "She said she was going to spend the New Year over there?"
The maid bowed. That's what Miss Three said. ”
"Good, good. Du Sihai not only did not show dissatisfaction because of this answer, but clapped his hands happily.
Although the maid wondered why the old man reacted this way, she also knew what to ask and what not to ask.
After Du Sihai heard the rumor, he naturally thought that Qing Yao was talking about spending the New Year with the people of the Qiguan family, which in his opinion was a great opportunity, and he naturally would not go to stop it.
After all, in his plan, only if Qing Yao gained enough trust in the Qiguan family, he would be able to take the opportunity to obtain more benefits.
When the New Year is approaching, a few days are just a flash.
When the Qiguan Mansion began to put up lights, Qing Yao smiled slightly and took Mulian to the Rejuvenation Hall to celebrate the New Year.
"Senior Sister Qingyao, help me hand me the plate you have at hand. ”
Qing Yao, who was in a daze, was called back by Du Heng's soft shout and looked over blankly.
Seeing this, Mulian on the side hurriedly walked over. "I'll come, I'll ......"
Qing Yao looked at the two people who were preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." ”
"Sister Qingyao, what are you thinking?" Mu Lian came to her side and asked suspiciously.
Qing Yao didn't want to explain too much to the person in front of her, because even if she said it, it wouldn't help, but it would make the other party worry.
So she smiled and shook her head, and whispered softly, "It's nothing, I'll help." ”
Today, when she learned that the person who was the chef every year was Du Heng, she offered to come to help, and she was a little embarrassed to be distracted in the kitchen at the moment.
Although there was doubt in Mu Lian's eyes, she also nodded and stopped asking.
As for Du Heng, who was busy on the side, he had been doing his own thing, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to the movement here.
"Nourishing ......"
When the vegetables are poured into the iron pan and the stir-fry begins, night gradually falls.
"Senior Sister Qingyao, you go and ask Senior Brother to set the table. ”
After confirming that his hands were almost busy, Du Heng turned his head and shouted to Qing Yao, who was washing dishes on the side.
Qing Yao glanced up at the other party and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll go right away. ”
"Go ahead, I'm pretty much here too......"
Seeing the other party's explanation, Qing Yao walked out lightly.
"Senior brother, senior brother Juniper, it's time to set the table......"
"Good ......" The two senior brothers who were accompanying Sun Jian answered in unison after hearing her soft shout.
"Here ...... Fish"
When the last dish of fish was served, everyone began to take their seats.
On this day, everyone's glasses were filled with a glass of wine.
Although Qing Yao and Mu Lian didn't drink spirits, they also poured two glasses of fruit wine.
These fruit wines are the products left over from the time when Zuo Shi Ling'er was promised, because there were too many brews at that time, so naturally there was left.
"Raise your wine glass...... Sun Jian said, slowly raising his wine glass, and the rest of the people present naturally raised their wine glasses when they saw this
"First of all, welcome Qingyao girl to join us...... And then there's the year we've all ......."
Sun Jian, like all old people, began to summarize this year's harvest.
However, everyone present listened to his speech silently with a smile on their faces.
When Sun Jian finally finished his summary words, he raised his glass and shouted: "Happy New Year......"
"Happy New Year......
Everyone raised their glasses, touched them lightly, and drank all the wine in them.
On this day, Qing Yao was rarely drunk with fruit wine.
Next.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, she rubbed her head and sat up.
"Headache ......"
She sighed softly, and was about to get up when she saw Mu Lian lying beside her, still asleep.
Thinking that the other party tasted the liquor lightly last night, but fell to the ground drunk after a drink, she couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head.
