The past year is definitely dark for the Qi family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And for the entire Great Qi Dynasty, it was a rare good time. The world is peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, whether it is the emperor Xiao Ye in the palace or the common people at the bottom, they all live very smoothly.

Not to mention the powerful and wealthy families in Beijing, except for some unlucky ghosts who were driven home by the emperor to eat their own unfavorable affairs, the vast majority of families are rich and rich, and the flowers are full of flowers.

The days are prosperous, and the New Year is particularly lively.

Qi Lingxian and the county lord of Qinghe led their sons, daughters-in-law and daughters down the steps, and walked forward along the verandah, and the crackling firecrackers could be heard from time to time in far or near places.

After a few steps, there was a muffled sound not far away, and then a brilliant firework burst out in mid-air, illuminating half of the sky with colorful light.

Even the verandah was illuminated extraordinarily.

Bang, bang, bang~

Several sounds in succession, the dark night suddenly turned into a curtain, and bright and dazzling fireworks bloomed to the fullest.

All kinds of dazzling light flashed in the air, turning from bright to dark, and mottled light and shadow appeared on the faces of everyone in the Qi family.

"This is the fireworks set off in the palace, and there should be fireworks tomorrow when the saints give a feast."

Qi Ling paused first, and looked at Miyagi not far away, with obvious loneliness in his tone.

Every year on New Year's Day, the courtiers enter the palace to congratulate, and the palace will also hold a grand banquet, and the families of the nobles in Beijing will go.

In the past, Qi Lingxian was the Duke of Qianguo, with the title of super first-class, and every time there was a banquet in the palace, he could be among them, and the position was very high.

It's been like this for more than ten years, but this year-

The county lord of Qinghe stretched out his hand to hold Qi Lingxian's arm, and said with a soft smile: "Hehe, speaking of which, this is the first time we have enjoyed fireworks at home." Although the distance is farther, it also has a unique flavor. ”

In fact, according to the grade of the county lord of Qinghe, she is still qualified to enter the palace for a banquet this year.

It's just that she can't, and doesn't want to, go.

Qi Lingxian listened to his wife's words, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed a reluctant smile, "What the county lord said, but it has a different flavor." "In previous years, it was joyful, but this year is gloomy, isn't it 'special'.

The county lord of Qinghe knew that her husband was uncomfortable, but this was also a helpless thing.

The title was lost, the southwest camp was gone, and the foundation of the Qi family was broken by half. Of course, there are reasons for Qi Qin's troubles, but in the final analysis, it is still the sentence 'high merit covers the master'.

The current emperor Xiao Ye is a strong and ambitious person, who has governed the country for more than ten years, and Xiao Ye has also tolerated the four major mansions for more than ten years. Now that his throne is stable and his prestige has been heavy, he will definitely not allow his military power to fall away.

Therefore, sooner or later, the mansions of the four great powers will be cleaned up.

They just bumped into the muzzle of the gun.

"Father, mother, it's cold outside, let's go back quickly."

Qi Jinzhi's mood is also very bad, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of farewell to the old and the new, if it continues to be so depressed, it may affect the luck of the next year.

People always have to look forward, and if the family business fails, there will always be a day of revitalization.

"What Brother Jin said is, let's go back quickly, I still have a good 'Autumn Dew White' hidden there, and we will have a few cups of pain in a while."

Qi Lingxian has been tempered for a long time, his heart is extremely tough, and fragility is only a moment's work, and soon he adjusted his mentality and said with a hearty smile.

Qi Jinzhi also hurriedly agreed, "That relationship is good, my son has long been worried about your jar of good wine......

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and all the negative emotions that lingered around the family were swept away, and everyone laughed along.

The county lord of Qinghe scolded with a smile, and then glanced at a little maid beside him.

The little maid understood, quietly withdrew from the queue, and ran in the direction of the big kitchen.

The family returned to Xuanrui Hall with a smile, and in the dining room of the main room, Ma's mother, who received the news, hurriedly ordered someone to make more than a dozen exquisite dishes, and hurriedly sent them.

Fortunately, during the festive season, many of the food in the large kitchen is half-cooked, and only needs to be slightly processed.

Seeing a table of food, everyone was not surprised, the county lord has always been a safe person, and she is in charge, and there will never be half a point of negligence.

The Qi family has always been a small family, and there are only six masters in Xifu.

The people who marched first in Qi Ling were impatient with those vulgar rituals, and because of the New Year, they wanted to be more lively, so they didn't make any separate seats for men and women, but their sons, daughters-in-law, and daughters sat together.

Gu Jialuo habitually stood behind the county lord and waited for his mother-in-law to eat.

The county lord waved his hand and asked Gu Jialuo to sit down and eat together.

Qi Minzhi got the hint from his mother, directly took Gu Jialuo's hand and pushed her to sit next to the county lord of Qinghe.

Qi Lingxian sat with Qi Jinzhi and Qi Hengzhi's father and son.

The maid sent a small wine jar more than a foot high, and Qi Jinzhi directly waved the red silk wooden plug that plugged the mouth of the altar with a bold hand knife, and then carried the jar with one hand, and poured the wine cup in front of his father and himself.

"Father, big brother, I, I want to drink too."

Qi Hengzhi saw that Qi Jinzhi was about to put down the wine jar, and hurriedly said.

"You?" Qi Jinzhi turned his head to look at his little brother, who was not as tall as his chest, and said with a smile: "How old are you?" The fetal hair has not faded yet, and you want to drink? ”

When Qi Hengzhi heard this, his little face turned red, he straightened up his small chest, and said unconvinced: "I am ten years old, and I will be eleven years old after today." My father and brother both went to war when they were eleven years old, and I am also my father's son. ”

Qi Ling was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, well-said, they are all good sons of my Qi family." Brother, fill it up for your brother. ”

Qi Jinzhi picked up the wine jar and made a gesture to pour a cup for his younger brother.

Qi Hengzhi waved his hand, "I'll come by myself." ”

The little boy took the jar from his brother's hand, held it firmly with both hands, and carefully filled the cup.

Xu is the first time to do it, the movements are not very skilled, and some of the wine is spilled.

"Xiang'er, let the three of them drink it, let's eat some food for the three of us to be serious."

Seeing that his youngest son was so active, the lord of Qinghe County was in a much better mood, regardless of the father and son who were pushing the cup and changing the lamp, he beckoned Gu Jialuo to have dinner together.

"Yes, Mother." Gu Jialuo nodded, he didn't eat too much in the dining room, and he was really hungry at this time.

And compared to the different hearts of the people in the dining room, the atmosphere here in Xuanruitang is much better, at least Gu Jialuo can calm down and eat.

Talking and laughing at the wine table, this meal is so good that it has some atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After the meal, the maids brought fruits, snacks and tea.

The family gathered together, talked about the east and west, and continued to keep the New Year.

It wasn't until the fourth watch day that the outside was completely quiet, and the county lord of Qinghe was in good spirits and let everyone go back to rest.

Gu Jialuo and Qi Jinzhi respectfully saluted and said goodbye.

"You go back first, I have to go to the garden." The husband and wife walked silently for a while, and Qi Jinzhi suddenly said.

Gu Jialuo raised his eyebrows, "On a big night, what is the uncle doing in the garden?" ”

Qi Jinzhi said: "Qi Kezhi and Qi Shenzhi, the two brothers in the second room of the East Mansion, invited me to go to the 'Lancui Pavilion' in the garden to talk. ”

Fang had just eaten a lot of wine, and at this moment, Qi Jin's mouth was full of wine. However, his people were still sober and had not forgotten Qi Shenzhi's invitation.

Lancui Pavilion is a water pavilion in the garden of the Qi family, surrounded by windows, in the summer to remove the window is the pavilion, in the winter to close the window into a house adjacent to the water.

As long as you light the charcoal basin, it won't be too cold to sit inside.

Gu Jialuo nodded and advised: "It's dark and the road is slippery, uncle, be careful." Besides, eat less wine, and Ming'er will have something to do. ”

Qi Jinzhi responded, since the husband and wife made their words clear that day, the husband and wife have become more and more 'harmonious' with each other.

Although Qi Jinzhi will still be sneering, compared with the 'pure attack' of 'indiscriminate and unreasonable' in the past, it has become a well-founded 'poisonous tongue', and the number of times is significantly less.

More often than not, couples can live in peace. Although it still doesn't look like a normal couple, it's much better than the 'enemy'.

Hearing Gu Jialuo's concerned advice, Qi Jinzhi still appreciated it, and replied: "Grandma also pay attention to her feet." ”

After that, the husband and wife separated, Gu Jialuo and a group of maids continued to walk in the direction of the Agarwood Courtyard, while Qi Jinzhi led the two rough maids with lanterns in their hands to the garden located on the central axis.

"Grandma, this is the nuclear Poria Ling japonica rice porridge stewed by the slave maid for you, the most soothing thing thing is to nourish the brain, you are tired of the day today, or drink some soothing porridge before going to bed."

Ziye personally came in with a tray, on which was a small bowl of sweet white porcelain, and in the bowl was steaming japonica rice porridge.

Gu Jialuo raised his eyes to look at Ziye.

Zi Ye was apprehensive in his heart, pretending to hang his head respectfully, avoiding Gu Jialuo's eyes.

Gu Jialuo sighed slightly in his heart, this was her last chance to give Zi Ye, if Zi Ye could stop in time, she would still be able to get along in the past few months.

But...... That's it, since Ziye is determined to die, she won't stop her, let alone sympathize!

"Well, it's still Ziye intimate, I just ate some greasy things, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, and I want to eat some japonica rice porridge to warm my stomach."

Gu Jialuo reached out and picked up the small bowl, stirred it gently with the spoon, and only after the heat dissipated did she take small bites.

Zi Ye's nerves had been tense, and it wasn't until he saw Gu Jialuo eat more than half of a whole bowl of japonica rice porridge that he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Back in the kitchen, after packing up all the 'things', Shiba went back to his room and lay down in his clothes.

At first, she didn't dare to close her eyes, and listened to what was going on outside.

But after a busy day, her spirit was highly nervous, and she finally lay down on the bed, and a thick sleepiness hit, and she fell asleep directly.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and in the dark night, several figures gathered.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Qin, the wife of the second room of the East Mansion, led a few strong mothers-in-law to the Agarwood Courtyard......
