But Suzhou is another scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the Chinese New Year, all the shops were closed, and the shops everywhere paid New Year's dividends, and the housekeepers and servants gathered in the outer courtyard, and they also made up two tables lively. Lin Daiyu instructed the kitchen to send them good wine and food, and said to Zijuan Xueyan and others: "Whatever you like to eat, let the cook do it, you don't have to follow filial piety, whether it is meat or vegetarian, as long as you have fun." Then he ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of vegetarian banquets, and invited Lin Mo and Yan Niang to celebrate the festival with Aunt Ye and others.

Zijuan and Snow Goose happily accepted the order, and sure enough, they ordered a few dishes, and went down to eat with the little girls Pei'er and Qing'er. The mother-in-law and the cook also gathered together and ate wine and food lively.

Lin Daiyu and Yan Niang, Lin Mo and several aunts worshipped the spiritual seat, and they all sat in the upper hall together, the kang was burning hot, although the north wind was howling outside, the house was very warm.

Su Yan was all on the table, Lin Daiyu looked at the people at the table, and couldn't help but have red eyes. Aunt Ye's eyes next to her were already red, and she persuaded: "I just said that the New Year, everyone has to be happy, no one is allowed to cry and wipe their tears......" Before she finished speaking, her own tears had already rolled down, and the other two aunts also had red eyes and couldn't help but hold a handkerchief and cry.

Lin Daiyu held back her tears, tried to laugh and said: "Auntie is right, it's the Chinese New Year, no one is allowed to cry!" She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, personally held the teapot, poured water into everyone's tea bowl, and then raised the cup in front of her, stood up first and said to Lin Mo and Yanniang: "Brother Mo, Sister Yan, now we are a family, and this year is also the first reunion year." Daiyu replaces wine with tea, toast you with a glass, if I do something wrong in the future, when my brothers and sisters still want to give advice, it will hurt me. As he spoke, he raised his lamp and drank the tea inside.

Lin Mo stood up and looked at the ten-year-old girl in front of him, her appearance was so beautiful that even Danqing Guoshou could not draw it, and her temperament was extremely intelligent.

From Yangzhou to Suzhou, he can be said to have watched Lin Daiyu survive all the way, and handled the funeral matters and the contacts everywhere one by one, even if strangers saw it, they felt extremely distressed.

Lin Mo picked up the teacup and said, "In the past, I also envied others who had a sister, but now I also have a sister who is a hundred thousand times stronger than others." Today, Lin Mo only said one sentence: I will be my sister's backer in the future, no matter who it is, there is no reason to cross me to let my sister be bullied. ”

When Lin Daiyu came back in two lifetimes, He had heard such words in anyone's mouth who was bent on defending her, his eyes were red, and tears were falling. She choked up and said: "Brother Xie's care, with her brothers and sisters, Daiyu will have relatives in this world, and she will no longer be alone." ”

Next to Lin Mo, Yan Niang also wiped away the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief, and said to Lin Daiyu: "If you have difficulties in the future, someone will bully you, you must tell Lin Mo." If there's something you can't say, just tell me. No matter what it is, right or wrong, with Lin Mo and me, I will never let you suffer. ”

Lin Daiyu listened to these words, and she couldn't help crying. Aunt Ye hurriedly hugged her in her arms, and also cried and persuaded: "Silly child, since there are so many people who love you, why are you crying so fiercely." In the future, if you have brothers and sisters, you will have someone to protect you, so don't take care of your body quickly, and save them from feeling distressed. The two aunts next to them also came to persuade while wiping away their tears with a handkerchief.

Lin Daiyu barely stopped crying and tried to laugh, and everyone else forcibly suppressed the emotion or sadness in their hearts, and made a laughing appearance, and said: "Today is the New Year, be happy, everyone eats vegetables, eats vegetables!" ”

So this is when the meal began. There are not only famous dishes from Suzhou, but also several Yangzhou dishes that Lin Daiyu has loved to eat since childhood, all of which are made with gluten, vegetarian tofu, with fresh bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, fresh lotus roots, etc. Although there is not a single bit of meat to be seen, the cook in the kitchen has worked hard to make it, which is more refreshing and delicious than the feast of big fish and meat.

After eating, the girls and mother-in-law at the bottom gathered in the outside of the kitchen to eat melon seeds and fruits, and the inner stove prepared the snacks and fruits eaten during the vigil, the soup with fresh mushrooms and mushrooms, and the dumplings, rice balls and other pasta with various colors. The purple cuckoo and the snow goose came up to serve, added charcoal to the tea stove, prepared hot water in a boiling manner, and when the masters had finished eating, they went to pass the little girl in and clean up.

For a while, the house was cleaned up, and the mothers-in-law removed the large table used for the banquet and replaced it with three small tables, with candied fruits on one side and candy and snacks on the other.

Zijuan lowered the curtain and stayed in the house with Snow Goose to wait for tea, and let the little girls below play. As soon as she stood firm, she was pulled by Aunt Ye to her side to talk, looking back at the snow geese, and chatting with Yan Niang. Looking at the tea house again, Lin Mofeng Shenyushu, his eyes were like stars, he was talking to Lin Daiyu, and he didn't know what he said, but he saw Lin Daiyu suddenly smile, his eyes were crooked, and he was stunned.

After the third watch, fireworks were set off everywhere in Suzhou City. Lin Daiyu and the others all came out together, watched the fireworks, and went back to the house to talk and laugh, and then everyone dispersed and went back to the house to rest.

The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and according to custom, the main family will give red envelopes to the girl and mother-in-law early in the morning. Lin Daiyu asked the housekeeper to prepare some more red envelopes and send them to Lin Mo, Yan Niang and several aunts, and kept them to reward the little girls and girls below.

After breakfast, Zijuan pulled the snow goose to kowtow to Lin Daiyu, but Lin Daiyu hurriedly stopped it and said, "It's just a New Year's greeting, I'm a little blessed, how can I afford you like this!" Zijuan and Snow Goose had no choice but to pay New Year's greetings and receive red envelopes for their two big girls. Lin Daiyu ordered them to go down, and the mother-in-law and girl below were also like this, seeing the girl, they were only allowed to pay New Year's greetings, and they were not allowed to kowtow.

All the mothers-in-law and girls listened to it, they all remembered it, went in to worship the New Year according to the rules, received a heavy red envelope, and came out happily.

In each room, for example, the girls who served a few aunts, and the little girls who took care of Yan Niang also got red envelopes, Lin Mo resolutely rejected the girls recommended by the housekeeper and aunts because he said that he wanted to concentrate on his studies, and only left a small girl to fetch water and charcoal and do some chores. He got up early this morning, and after Wen Shu, he came to the outer hall and gave red envelopes to the servants in the outer courtyard and the servants who did chores everywhere, and since then he has also taken on the responsibility of the outer court.
