On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family happily had a reunion dinner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because he has been living in the north in the first two lives, Han Qing has seen the New Year's dinner in the south for the first time, not to mention the fish, shrimp and crabs that are special to the south on the dinner table, as well as various aquatic plants and out-of-season vegetables, pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese are also complete, and the practice is not tired of eating, and many dishes are private dishes of the Xie family, even if Han Qing has been an imperial concubine in his last life, he has never eaten it.

The Xie family has few masters, so there are no separate tables for men and women, and they have a lively meal. Xie Yi and Xie Yan led their sisters to the garden to set off fireworks, although there was no snow this year, Han Qing felt that the smell of the New Year was very strong. After having some fun, the children returned to Ruizhen Hall, and the family sat together to chat and keep the New Year, until the time was over, and the children were stuffed with a few mouthfuls of rice balls and put back to sleep.

Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Han Qing was dug out of the quilt by the lotus flower, and after waiting for the wash, he hurriedly put on a goose yellow embroidered blue and gold thread flowing cloud Baifu pattern collared skirt, and covered with a lake-green carved silk gray squirrel cloak, wearing a complete set of Dongzhu blue emerald gem inlaid with diamonds, wearing a rich and long-lived silver collar inlaid with beeswax around his neck, and wearing a mutton fat white jade bracelet and a sapphire silver silk bracelet on his hand.

Although you can't wear red all over your body, it is a small appearance of wealth and splendor. Before going out, the lotus flower covered the crane in the lake blue ruyi pattern brocade white fox. Only then did the maid accompany him to Ruizhen Hall. Even in winter, being covered by the crane of the white fox fur, Han Qing was already sweating when he entered the hall.

Jin Su hurriedly came over to take the crane, and Bing Yi wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. Only then did Han Qing take Cheng Xin and Bing Wing to greet her grandparents for the New Year. The two brothers in the outer courtyard had already arrived, and waited for the two sisters to enter the house in a hurry, and a few children knelt in a row, and kowtowed to the elders again, and the adults also gave the New Year's red envelopes, which contained various shapes of cute golden nudes.

In the next few days, Xie Zan and Cui took a few children to a banquet at an acquaintance's house, and Han Qing was at home with her grandparents every day.

After the seventh day of the new year, Xie Zan will rush back to his post, as the parent official of one party, he will also organize the local Lantern Festival, so the banquet of the Xie family is placed on the sixth day of the new year.

The status of the Xie family is transcendent, so on this day, not only the old friends of the neighboring families came to the banquet, but also Hangzhou Mansion and the surrounding prefectures and counties, but all the officials who could catch up with the side also came with their wives and children.

Han Qinghe seemed to be accompanying Mrs. Pei in Ruizhen Hall, and her smiling little face was about to stiffen. But the lady and the young grandmother who came didn't praise the three sisters harshly, although they got a lot of meeting gifts, but the two little ones had already thought about going out to play.

At this time, Cui personally led Tan Shi, the wife of Yu Boru, the prefect of Hangzhou, into the house with her two sons, two daughters, eldest daughter-in-law and grandson. It was like seven emotions, and the eyes of the Yu family sisters lit up when they saw it. Waiting for the Tan family to take the children to pay a New Year's greeting to Mrs. Tai, the two young masters took red envelopes and went to the front yard. Tan's grandson, Yu Wenhan, was left to play with his mother because he was only four years old.

Cui Shi saw that the girls couldn't sit still for a long time, so he smiled and said, "You little girls don't have to be confined here, Ah Ran will lead your two sisters and all the girls to play in the warm pavilion in the back garden." ”

The little girls present all saluted honestly, and each led the maid out of the hall with Wanran, and went to the plumbing pavilion in the back garden. When they entered the warm pavilion, they seemed to tell the maid to put food and drink for fun, and the girls found familiar girls to play in twos and threes.

It seems to entertain the five girls of the Cui family, the nine girls of the Wang family, the twelve girls of the Yuan family, the six girls of the Lu family and the five girls of the Yu family to enjoy the paintings and play chess. It was like leading Han Qing, the fifteenth girl of the Wang family and the sixth girl of the Wang family to look at the flowers in the conservatory next to them.

Although Han Qing has a good memory, several girls are also impatient to call each other ranking, if they shout according to the ranking of the clan, it seems that they will call Xie Seventh Girl, as if they are Xie Eleven Girl. So they each passed their names and described the tooth order, which was the cry of the sister and sister. Yu Liu's girl Dan's wife is 9 years old, followed by 8-year-old Wanruo, 7-year-old Wang 15 girl rosary, and the youngest Han Qing is about to be 7 years old.

Several little girls are of the same age, Dan and Rosary are also kind, and the four of them are very comfortable enjoying the flowers in the greenhouse. It was as if a small table and a small stool were set up in the flowers, and as soon as a few people sat down, they were completely immersed in the flowers, and there were maids with flower tea and pastries, and the fragrance was lingering for a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"I don't know what kind of third girl she is, and the ladies don't praise her for the sake of the master's face. A wild seed who doesn't know who his father is. Han Qing's ears were very good, and she knew that she was talking about herself behind her back, but she only heard a few girls coming next door to the greenhouse.

"But no, she looks like a fox, and she still has to be a head, so that everyone calls her the third girl of Xie Mansion." This sound was very sharp, and it was so shocking that they in the room were all silent, and they looked out in amazement.

Because of the girl's sharp voice, the few people who spoke must have been startled, stopped and looked around, but there was no figure, and then they had the courage to continue talking.

"It is said that Miss Zhu Si, your grandfather is an old man in the court, and the Zhu family is a famous family, why did you let the two little sluts in Nayu Mansion get mixed up with the girl of the Xie family." The third voice thought about changing the topic, and stopped chatting about Han Qing's topic.

"I don't care to play with the girl of the Yu family, I didn't have to drop the price, and I don't know how the girl from the Xie family's Wang family was raised." The voice of the first girl sounded again, presumably this was Miss Zhu Si.

I only heard the girl with a sharp voice and said in a suppressed voice, "Wait and see, my father said, the Yu family is about to sit in Hangzhou Mansion." If there are no accidents, I will be able to live in Hangzhou Mansion in the future. When Han Qing heard this, she was shocked, whose girl was this, and her tone was so big.

"That's a good feeling, I only play well with Second Sister Sun and Big Sister Ma in Hangzhou Mansion, if you come, we will have more playmates." The voice of the fourth girl Zhu said.

I only heard the sound of footsteps, "So you guys are hiding here and whispering." ”

"Why did Second Sister Sun come, we've been waiting for a while." The voice that wanted to change the topic just now immediately said briskly, it must be a girl surnamed Ma.

"I talked to Mrs. Tai in the front hall for a while, so I was late. It turns out that the second sister Ge also came to Xie Mansion today, I thought you had already returned to Haining. Only then did Han Qing hear that the girl with a sharp voice must be the second girl of the Ge family in Haining.

"Hello Second Sister Sun, my father said that there are still some things to be done in Hangzhou, just in time for the Xie family to have a banquet on the sixth day of the new year, so he also brought us here."

"Second Sister Sun, you don't know how annoying she was just now, the Xie family didn't know where to find a granddaughter, as if she was spoiled by something, she even asked others to call the third girl of Xie Mansion, and all the ladies praised her to the sky, I really don't know what to do." Miss Zhu Si said indignantly again.

"Fourth Sister Zhu said cautiously, after all, we are on the territory of the Xie family, and some words should be discussed later." Thinking about it, this second girl Sun was in a dominant position among several people, although she stopped the remarks of those girls, her attitude was very arrogant.

A few people gradually walked away, Han Qing looked back, and her eyes were already reddened with anger, and Dan Yu was also trembling with anger, and the rosary looked a little embarrassed as if she didn't understand. Han Qing shook Wanruo's hand, "Second sister, whose family are these girls, why are they so arrogant." ”

As if she was distressed that her sister was being discussed, she shook Han Qing's hand back, "The last girl to come should be the sister of the Sun family, the political envoy of Zhejiang, the grandfather of the fourth girl Zhu is the elder of the court in the court, and the father of Miss Ma is the envoy of Zhejiang, and I have never seen the second girl Ge before, it may be from the county of Haining." ”

After listening to the origins of these four people, Han Qing felt that some things were connected, and the two top bosses of the Yu Governor's Mansion and a girl from the family who directly belonged to them were so disdainful of the Yu family, which was an extremely dangerous thing. Especially this Haining magistrate, who is in charge of Yanguan Town, invisibly contacted the salt merchants she was puzzled about.

Because the Xie family has praised the Yu family recently, Han Qing is already a little biased in his heart, could it be that the corruption of the Yu Governor's Mansion was framed? Han Qing couldn't help but say to Dan Wu, "Sister Dan, these girls from the adult family are all hostile to your family, you have to tell Master Yu when you go home." It's not a complaint, it's just that it may be detrimental to Lord Yu. ”

Dan Wu felt that she had been wronged at first, but now she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Han Qing's words, although she didn't quite understand what the specific disadvantage was, she still nodded heavily, "I'll tell my father when I get home." ”
