The whole Rongxi Hall is full of joy, decorated inside and out, and the window room is repasted with the big red window flowers cut by Zhang Jianing and the maids.

Even the maids and servants of Rongguo Mansion are also full of joy on their faces, wearing new clothes and jewelry, and they can go to the big housekeeper to receive a big red seal later.

Wait until tomorrow's New Year's Day to kowtow to the masters, and you can get a lot of rewards, so the maids and servants like to celebrate the New Year more than children.

It is the lowest class of slaves, who can receive a reward for several months during the New Year, let alone a maid slave with a face in front of their masters.

Often a year is more than a year's monthly money, so the competition between the subordinates is still very big, a radish and a pit, the front is not allowed to come out, how can the back be on top?

Besides, the customs of the Chinese New Year are different in many places, but there is only one thing that is the same, that is, taboos, such as taboo ghosts, death, killing and other ominous words, taboo to break dishes, taboo to speak evil words, taboo

When the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, it was originally the busiest time, and Zhang Jianing had to work at home and outside, and after breakfast, he had to take a bath, change clothes, and clean up to drive away epidemics and evil spirits.

Fortunately, Zhang Jianing is a marquise, if this is a woman from a small peasant family, she will be busy, in fact, whether it is a poor peasant family or a rich family, the customs of the process are almost the same.

It's just that the rich and noble families have enough food and clothing, so they live more meticulously, and they don't have to do everything themselves, and some people do things.

After Zhang Jianing came back from the Mo family, she was busy until Jia Yu came to urge her with the triplets, so she had to take a battle bath in a hurry.

But fortunately, everyone knows that she is busy today, and she is going to the Mo family to be busy with family affairs, so no one blames her for coming late.

The traditional customs of the Great Qi country, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the family must gather together on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve to eat the reunion dinner, also known as the hearth, originated from the ancients all around the stove to eat, regardless of the old and young to eat together, the members at home must wait until the whole family arrives before moving the chopsticks, but also for the family members who can not go home to eat the group meal, meaning family reunion, happiness.

Zhang Jianing arrived, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is about to begin, the first thing is to worship the ancestors, in fact, it can also be called a tribute seat, because the real opening of the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors has already been sacrificed in the daytime.

After the dishes are ready, the dishes and chopsticks are placed on the table, usually eight pairs, corresponding to the father and mother, grandparents and other direct relatives of the head of the family.

At this time, everyone stood aside, and the eldest patriarch Jia Daishan gave tea to the ancestors for the first time, and when pouring tea, it could not be poured casually, like two side-by-side seats could not be from the middle, but from both sides.

Instead, it is necessary to follow the direction of the clock, and start from the left-hand side of the top, and serve tea all the way, and the attitude must be religious.

After Jia Daishan finished the tea, after a quarter of an hour, Jia Shi went to pay another respect, changed Jia Zheng after a quarter of an hour, and finally had to wait another quarter of an hour to pour out the tea in the bowl and start eating Chinese New Year's Eve.

During this time, it is forbidden to shout the child's name, lest the ghost outside the gate hear it and disadvantage him.

During the formal meal, it is very taboo for others to disturb, especially taboo for people to come to the door, because this is called "stepping on the New Year's dinner", which will make the whole family uneasy.

The ancients paid attention to food and did not say anything, although Zhang Jianing usually did not care about these when eating with children, but he did not think of challenging the tradition on this occasion.

On the way here just now, Zhang had already instructed the triplets not to speak when they were eating, but fortunately the triplets could understand it, and Zhang Jianing expressed satisfaction with the high IQ of the triplets for the nth time.

So at the dining table, no one spoke anymore after Jia Daishan moved the chopsticks, and everyone ate and drank quietly.

Zhang Jianing thought to himself: It is completely incomparable to the excitement of modern people who like to make friends at the wine table.

This kind of quietness, Zhang Jianing has been crossing for so long, and she is still not used to it, she thinks, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get used to it in this life.

In this ancient period, there were not many rules for eating a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and mustard greens should be eaten one by one from beginning to end, indicating that the beginning of the year can last for a long time; The head of the cabbage indicates the head of good luck; The whole chicken symbolizes the family portrait; Eating fish balls, shrimp balls, and meatballs refers to the meaning of the three yuan and the first (i.e., champion, huiyuan, and jieyuan). There are only fish on the table that cannot be eaten and must be left, which means that there is wealth and surplus every year.

If this is put in modern times, few people will be so particular, at most remember to leave some fish out, it is estimated that it is because I read too much when pasting couplets.

After eating, it is time to greet the elders, Jia Daishan and Shi Fangfang sat on the top, first Jia Yu went to kowtow to wish his father good health, Jia Daishan and Shi Fangfang gave a purse embroidered with auspicious patterns, and then Zhang Jianing.

Zhang Jianing also received an auspicious purse, and then Jia Lian Jia Xuan Jia Yao, because they are triplets and they are still young, so the three of them wear exactly the same red envelope, like a big red envelope.

Although the triplets can speak and speak quite clearly, they can't speak too long sentences, so Zhang Jianing gave them special training a few days ago.

So at this time, the triplets dressed in festive steps walked to the cushion in front of Jia Daishan and Shi Fangfang and knelt down, and said in unison: "Lian'er / Xuan'er / Yao'er, I wish my grandfather and grandmother good health (Jia Lian), all the best (Jia Xuan), family happiness (Jia Yao), Wishing you prosperity (He)!" ”

The three long white snow are cute and dressed exactly the same, and the soft and cute little buns that are beaming with joy can amuse Jia Shishi and Shi Fangfang.

"Okay, good, my good grandson, come, grandfather will give you New Year's money." Jia Daishan laughed and took out three bulging purses.

"If you talk so cleverly at such a small level, you will definitely have a great future in the future." Shi Fangfang also likes triplets very much.

She had been hiding in her own room in Lixiangyuan before, but it was impossible not to come out all the time, and then Zhang Jianing asked Jia Yu to take the triplets to Lixiangyuan every day, and even the time when Jia Yu went to Bac Ninh was not broken.

So now the triplets are the number one celebrity in front of Shi Fangfang, from the fact that Shi Fangfang is willing to give things to the triplets to eat, you must know that Shi Fangfang, the person who came in the last days, is very protective of food, and in the past few months, the triplets are the only ones who can eat Shi Fangfang's food.

Let's go back to the New Year's greetings here, with the triplets Zhuyu in front, Jia Zheng and Wang's faces are dark, you must know that Jia Zhu can't walk now, and even he can only speak in one or two words, and one or two words jump out.

Therefore, after Jia Zheng and Wang kowtowed to Jia Daishan and Shi Fangfang respectively, Wang personally hugged Jia Zhu to Jia Daishan and the two of them to pay New Year's greetings.

Jia Zhu stumbled and said, "Grandfather...... Grandmother...... Body, health. ”

"Okay, well, Zhu'er is also well-behaved, and grandfather also gives New Year's money, I wish our Zhu'er good health."

Although Jia Daishan prefers triplets, Jia Zhu is also his own grandson, of course, he will not favor one over the other, the triplets have, Jia Zhu has the same.

In other words, every time Zhang Jianing receives a gift, he feels that he is taking advantage of it, since Wang drank oxytocic drugs and gave birth on the same day as her, it is like washing three, full moon, and celebrating the New Year.

Every time she saw that Wang could only accept one because she received three gifts, Wang's depressed face, Zhang Jianing felt very comfortable eating ice cream on a hot day.

Especially when the triplets got six purses for Jia Zhengwang's New Year's greetings, and Jia Zhu only got two, alas, it's really unbelievable that he is so stingy!

Well, he has become so narrow-minded, and the Wang family will definitely have to pay most of the responsibility! Zhang Jianing thought so in his heart.

After the New Year's greetings, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng followed Jia Daishan to the study, and Shi Fangfang, Zhang Jianing and Wang took the children to the side hall to observe the New Year.

There was a big kang in the side hall, which was already burning warm at this time, everyone went to the kang, the triplets and Jia Zhu also put it on, let them play by themselves, Zhang Jianing and Wang's nurse sat on the edge of the kang to prevent the children from climbing out.

"Sister-in-law is really good at training children, I'm not as good as sister-in-law, Zhu'er and Lian'er are as big as they talk, it's not good to ask for it." Wang said meaninglessly.

Wang's words became in Zhang Jianing's ears, Wang was saying that she was hypocritical, and she didn't know how to toss the triplets in order to please Jia Daishan and Shi Fangfang.

"That's not it, Lian'er, the three of them can only speak a few words, for tonight's play, I trained them for an hour or two this afternoon."

Isn't it said that the triplets are taught to pay New Year's greetings, what else can you do, I will teach it for an hour, Jia Zhu said that sentence may not have to be taught for a few days to be taught like this.

"It's not good, the children's family, it's good to greet the elders sincerely." Wang said sincerely.

"The second brother and sister are so funny, this is only a child of more than nine months, how can he if you don't teach him? Even if Wenqu Xing is down, it is impossible to be born to speak. ”

Zhang Jianing said happily: "It's still a pearl, you don't need to teach, you will definitely be a champion in the future." ”

To say that Zhang Jianing hates this kind of person the most, they all do the same thing, and others are not allowed to do anything better than her, a god and a horse, which is as disgusting as being a female cousin and establishing a chaste archway.

Zhang Jianing is not that kind of good-natured person, as she knows from the fact that she almost rummaged through the small vaults of the Wang family and the Jia Shi family.
