Chapter 278 Joy and sorrow

The Spring Festival is approaching day by day, each family has collected the New Year's goods in the Zhuangzi, you send me and I send you to give back and forth, the doors of the mansions come and go, full of all kinds of local products of the vehicle, to the Spring Festival to add countless joy.

But a few big cars parked in front of Yao Guogong's mansion sent a haze to Yao Guogong's family, and the big housekeeper of Xu Mansion took a big red gift post, respectfully and politely but extremely tough left a few cars of festival gifts, and went straight back.

This post, this gift list, everywhere according to the unmarried son-in-law's exquisiteness, but after all, people did not say it clearly, this ceremony, if it is returned, it is clear that there is no relationship with the Xu family, behind the Xu family, there is Xu Fangfei, behind Xu, there is King Cheng......

Yao Guogong drooped his shoulders, dragged his feet into the main courtyard, threw the gift list on the table, hung his head and sighed and pondered, Mrs. Yao Guo picked up the gift post, opened it and looked at it twice, picked up the gift list and hurriedly opened it and looked at it twice, so frightened that tears came out, hurriedly threw away the gift list, rushed to Yao Guogong, grabbed his shoulders with both hands and shook and shouted:

"I tell you, my daughter is mine! Whoever dares to push his daughter into the fire pit, I will fight with him! I've fought for my life, and I can't let anyone harm my daughter!"

"Alright, alright! Am I not thinking about it? What's your name? What is it called? ”

Yao Guogong pushed away his wife's hand, slapped the table and reprimanded, Mrs. Yao Guogong hurriedly let go of her hand, picked up a folding fan from the side, and fanned Yao Guogong anxiously, while laughing and said:

"Okay, you think slowly, think about it, think about it, you have to come up with a way, ah?"

"What's the use of you fanning me with this cool breeze?!"

Yao Guogong waved his hand impatiently, and Mrs. Yao Guogong hurriedly put away the fan, sat down next to her carefully, and looked at Yao Guogong with expectant eyes.

Yao Guogong hung his head, thought for a long time, sighed heavily, raised his hand and pointed to the gift list,

"Put it away first, let people put it in the warehouse and put it away, don't move, you have to ask King Jing for this matter, and only he can have a way."

Duchess Yao nodded hurriedly,

"The big girl is a blessing to him, alas, you said, if the relationship between the big girl and the Runan Royal Mansion could be completed, how could there be such a thing in our family? Alas! It's all because we don't have this blessing!"

"You're an old fool too! What do you do with this? ”

Yao Guogong reprimanded impatiently, and Mrs. Yao Guogong ignored him, sighing to herself,

"Also, if you look at this princess now, don't talk about her appearance, I love her gentleness and decency, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at it, and the big girl is a lot worse."

"Okay, okay, don't talk this nonsense! Hurry up and let people put these things away, and also, you go to the treasury, find a few eye-catching good things to come out, and add them to the festival of King Jing's mansion, there is no reason to ask for people in vain. ”

Mrs. Yao Guogong sighed sadly, nodded, got up and went out, Yao Guogong sat on the chair dejectedly and sighed, he is the fourth unmarried daughter, if this daughter is also married smoothly, he can always save some worry, right? !

After the sacrifice, it was Chinese New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, although the old concubine still refused to show up at the family banquet in the Cheng clan on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, but after the New Year's Eve, she was willing to come out, and the king of Runan was in a lighter and happier mood than any year, and he could laugh happily at every little thing.

The Cheng family's Chinese New Year's Eve reunion banquet this year ended earlier than in previous years, Li Xiaonuan accompanied the princess, just sent the female relatives of the clan away a little half, the mother-in-law came over to pass the word, Cheng Ke was already waiting for Li Xiaonuan outside, to go to Ruizi Hall to invite the old concubine to come out to observe the New Year.

The princess hurriedly sent Li Xiaonuan over, Li Xiaonuan put on a cloak, and followed her mother-in-law out of the flower hall, Cheng Ke was wearing a big red silk sable cloak, standing in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back and waiting for her, seeing her coming, Cheng Ke took two steps and reached out to pull Li Xiaonuan's hand,

"My hands are a little cold, why don't you have a stove?"

Zhu Ye hurriedly handed over a red copper mat pattern square hand stove from behind, and reported with a smile:

"The young lady is hurrying over."

"Hmm."

Cheng Ke stretched out his hand to take the hand stove, tried it with his hand, handed it to Li Xiaonuan, reached out to her, wrapped her in his cloak, and said with a smile:

"It's still early, let's go over there."

"Hmm."

Li Xiaonuan agreed, hugged the hand stove, leaned closer to Cheng Ke, and the two snuggled up and walked along the stone path in the forest full of red lanterns to Ruizi Hall.

Zhuqing took the girls and mother-in-law more than a dozen steps behind, followed from a distance, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the rules, every **** family must have light and fire everywhere, and the family will be bright and prosperous next year.

Cheng Ke looked down at Li Xiaonuan and said abruptly:

"Xiao Nuan, you seem to have grown up a lot."

Li Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment, raised her eyebrows and laughed,

"I'll be seventeen years old in the New Year."

Li Xiaonuan seemed to remember something, looked up at Cheng Ke, and said slowly:

"I've been thinking since I was a child, you must not marry early, the later the better, it's best to marry at the age of twenty, I had such a wish when I was a child!"

Cheng Ke's eyes widened, looked at Li Xiaonuan, who was pouting and looking at him sadly, and blinked a few times,

"This ...... This one...... Xiao Nuan, you see how good the two of us are together, where do you want to go to play these days? Shall we take a boat to watch the lights this year? Where else do you want to go? Listening to a ditty? Watching a miscellaneous drama? Magic? Why don't we go hunting? Look at it, how interesting we are in one place, but it is much more interesting than eating preserved fruits and reading books in the house every year. ”

Li Xiaonuan paused, looked up at Cheng Ke, squinted his eyes and said:

"This, I have wanted to ask you for a long time, why did I know what happened at home in the past years, you seem to know and see it, there is something strange here, you tell me about it."

Cheng Ke raised his hand to cover his mouth, turned his head and coughed, while dragging Li Xiaonuan forward,

"Xiao Nuan, you see, it's not too early, we have to hurry up and invite the ancestors to go, this matter, it's a long story, let's go back, look at it, the lanterns hanging in this mansion don't look like the stars are falling from the sky? I've heard a lot of new tricks in this year's fireworks, or maybe someone will show you tonight? ”

Li Xiaonuan smiled, hugged by Cheng Ke, and asked unrelentingly as he walked forward:

"Tell me about it? Also, every summer, the silk veil on the window in my house has to be neatly broken several times, you say, what's going on? ”

Cheng Ke turned his head left and right, Li Xiaonuan raised his foot and stepped on Cheng Ke's foot, turning hard,

"What do I ask you?"

Cheng Ke's subordinates worked hard, hugged Li Xiaonuan upward, and said while laughing,

"This is the ...... Xiao Nuan, tap and tap! It's weird...... I also think it's weird, let's go back in the evening and talk about it, go back in the evening and talk about it in detail, it's not a big deal, is it, what else do you want? If you think about it again, there must be other wishes, think about it again. ”

Li Xiaonuan squinted his eyes and smiled, and was about to speak, when a cloud of red silk forging reflecting the light rushed from a distance in front of him, Cheng Ke and Li Xiaonuan paused, staring at the reflective red ball that was rolling closer and closer, and only when they got closer did they see that it was Hongfu.

Hongfu saw Li Xiaonuan from a distance and shouted excitedly:

"Sugar sister! Sugar sister! Sugar Sister!"

rushed over, Cheng Ke hurriedly hugged Li Xiaonuan and flashed to the side, leaning slightly sideways to block between Li Xiaonuan and the red blessing who rushed over, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, this red blessing came at a really good time!

Hongfu rushed to Ke and Li Xiaonuan, rushed seven or eight steps in a row, and then stopped his steps, turned back, ran to Li Xiaonuan, and shouted with a steaming breath:

"Sugar sister, hurry...... It's over!"

"Are you waiting for me to wait?"

Li Xiaonuan took the preserved fruit from the purse, stuffed it into Hongfu's mouth, and asked with a smile, Hongfu nodded heavily, Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, and said with a smile:

"We have to hurry, Hongfu can't get out by himself."

Cheng Ke responded with a smile, Li Xiaonuan signaled to Hongfu, Hongfu bit the preserved fruit, and circled around Li Xiaonuan and Cheng Ke as he walked, and the group sped up their pace and rushed to Ruizitang.

When he arrived at the door of Ruizi Hall, Hongfu rushed to the front and patted the door hard, and before he could hit the door, the door opened from the inside, Bai Mama was dressed in new clothes, her hair was combed and smooth, she was wearing a red velvet flower, and her knees were bent with a smile on her face.

The main house is still the same as in previous years, full of red and joyful, but this year there are many blooming daffodils in the house, and the red and bright camellia raised in the greenhouse, which makes the house more vibrant.

The old lady was crooked on the couch, twisting the rosary, closing her eyes and reciting the scriptures, Li Xiaonuan pursed her lips and smiled, did not go to the cloak, bent her knees, walked to the couch, poked her head, looked the old lady up and down carefully, the old lady opened her eyes, looked at Li Xiaonuan and reprimanded:

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at the ancestors have cleaned up, this is the New Year, the ancestors also have to wear a red velvet flower to look good, you look at Mama Bai, this flower is worn, how much spirit, all of a sudden young dozens of years old, the ancestor wears two or three branches?"

"One branch is enough for ......"

Before the old lady finished speaking, she reacted, sat up straight, raised her hand and pointed at Li Xiaonuan,

"I'm so old, what kind of flowers do I wear? No, you don't!"

Li Xiaonuan sat on the couch with a smile, turned her head and instructed Mama Bai,

"Mama brought the red velvet flower, and I waited for the ancestor to put it on."

Mama Bai smiled while holding up a delicate red velvet camellia with a very small tray, Li Xiaonuan took it, handed it to the old lady, and said with a smile:

"Ancestor, you see, this flower is even more beautiful than the real one, it's a camellia, you see, is it better to wear it on the left, or on the right?"

Cheng Ke smiled and took the target lens in the little girl's hand and held it in front of the old lady, Li Xiaonuan took the flowers, and gestured on the old lady's left and right sideburns, the old lady glanced back and forth, and signaled for Li Xiaonuan to wear it on the right sideburns.

Mama Bai came over with a crimson silk sable cloak, Li Xiaonuan took it, waited for the old lady to wear it, and Cheng Ke helped the old lady out of the yard left and right, got into a sedan chair and went to the waterfront heating pavilion by the garden lake

Well, I originally wanted to change it earlier, but Su, there is a second shift today, later, before eight o'clock.
