Yilan and Yulan also took a group of girls to clean up the courtyard of the living room, hang the five blessings and moon lanterns, and post the word "Fu". Magnolia, is Yun Qing's new name for the lotus seed, not Yun Qing's soft heart and gently let go, the lotus seed is also a hard life, was sold as a slave by his parents when he was young, and he has no complaints, he still often takes care of the family, many years have passed, his father died, his mother was seriously ill, and there was an unsuccessful brother, who was idle all day long, and even became addicted to gambling, and almost had his hands cut off, and he got the charity of the second aunt, but he avoided the disaster. However, the sick old mother did not survive this winter.

Lotus seeds are also considered benevolent and righteous.

That day, Lianzi was in a trance, weighing left and right, and finally, she returned to Qingyuan and knelt outside Yunqing's room for a whole night, that night, it snowed again, but she didn't move, she thought, if she died like this, it would be good.

In the end, Yilan picked up the frozen lotus seeds, and in the outer greenhouse, got a new name: Magnolia.

Chinese New Year's Eve, the family is happy, throughout the day, ushered in, several sisters and sisters, also come to Qingyuan to play, even at this moment, it is almost dusk, Qingyuan warm pavilion, the second girl Yunyu gently and quietly covered her mouth and chuckled; Yunjing, the fourth girl in the second room, is a pungent character, smiling, talking and laughing; Yun Lan and Yun Jing, the fifth girl in the third room, are average in age, ten years old this year, and they are also cheerful, laughing and playing with Yun Jing; The sixth girl, Yun Ge, is only six years old, she is the younger sister of Yun Jing's in-laws, she is pink and cute, sitting next to Yun Qing, leaning on Yun Qing's arms with a soft body, holding glutinous rice balls, eating happily, watching Yun Jing Yun Lan smile happily, she doesn't care what others are happy about, she just clapps her hands on the side.

Yun Qing smiled and sat on the side, she was already a demure character, everyone is used to it, Yun Qing swept Yun Yu, who also didn't say much, only to see her twisting her handkerchief, her mouth kept a somewhat stiff smile, Yun Qing's smile deepened, yes, the room was full of young ladies, although she grew up together, she was a concubine after all, her sisters didn't mind much, and when she went out of the Guogong Mansion, it was a different situation.

It's not that the second and third rooms don't have concubines, it's just that they are young and don't gather here.

"Girl, the dinner party of Fuyuan Hall has been put on the table, and the ladies of all rooms are gathered in the old lady's courtyard, and the green pothos girl has sent a girl to inform the girls that the dinner is about to begin." Mama Zhuang came in and said, Mama Zhuang is also Mrs. Xie's wife, and has been taking care of Mrs. Guogong's meals, and it was also a few days ago that Mrs. Xie felt sorry for Yun Qingqing who had lost too much and was sent to take care of Yun Qing. How could Mrs. Xie be dependent, fortunately, Mama Gao is also a person who has taken care of Mrs. Xie's diet and daily life for many years, and Mama Zhuang has also brought out an apprentice over the years, so Yun Qing had to accept it.

Yun Qing looked at the girls, smiled, raised her voice slightly, and interrupted Yun Jing's teasing: "Second sister, sisters, and elders are all at Grandmother's place, and Lu Pothos Gang also sent a girl to urge, let's go over first." ”

"Third sister, you have to help me plead with my grandmother in a while!" Yun Lan ran over and pulled Yun Qing's sleeve to be coquettish.

"What's wrong? I just listened to Mama's words, but I didn't notice, what trouble have you caused again? Yun Qing nodded her nose and smiled.

"It's not Yunlan's Fuzi a few days ago, I hugged it and played with it, who knew that it slipped away, and it actually ran to Fuyuantang and broke my grandmother's beloved jade pot. Grandmother said, "My feet are forbidden after the New Year!" Yun Jing said that she was lost, but her red face was obviously not afraid.

"Let's go, let's go, look at your little appearance, I will let my grandmother punish you heavily in a while!"

Yun Qing smiled, two shallow dimples loomed, today's New Year, she also wore a blue bottom Caiyun placket, covered with a rose-colored fluffy cotton jacket, revealing a half-lake-colored brocade skirt, although the figure is not very obvious, but the slender figure has appeared. She tilted her head to look at Yun Yu, her little white porcelain face showed a coquettish smile, and her pure eyes looked at Xie Yunyu: "Second sister, when the time comes, you will also help suppress her arrogant pettiness!" ”

"Hahaha, what the good sister said is right, you must suppress her arrogance and let her always bully Fuzi." Yun Lan was afraid that she would not be confused, so she jumped over and pulled Yun Qing's other arm.

"You're all big girls, and you're so noisy!" Yun Yu got up, she is over fifteen this year, she has passed the ceremony, wearing a blue brocade cardigan cotton suit, a dark blue tunic pleated skirt, and a red gown, the more slender her figure is, her hair is completed with a jade hairpin, her eyebrows are carefully drawn, her lips are lightly routed, and there is a faint charm in her gentleness, and she smiles beautifully.

"The second sister is about to enter the palace in the spring, and she is not allowed to meet recently, the grandmother in the palace is so strict!" Yun Jing looked at Yun Yu's beauty, her eyes showed a strong longing, and the words in her mouth were sour: "Second sister is so beautiful today!" ”

Yun Jing is also very beautiful, but it is relatively round, plus she is young.

"The third sister is also beautiful!" Yun Ge pulled Yun Jing's skirt and swayed, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Yun Jing's only praise of Xie Yunyu, pouting, looking unhappy.

"Hee-hee!"

The girls talked and laughed, some girls carried horns and five-blessing lanterns in front of them to guide the way, and some grandmothers held various preventive objects behind them, and they came to Fuyuan Hall happily all the way.

Fuyuantang has been lit up, the red window flowers are covered with window paper, the red gauze lamps are hung in a row on the left and right verandahs, and the house is also brightly lit, full of festivity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old lady and the ladies of each room have gone to the dining hall, and all the old men and gentlemen have also entered the table, you are careful to be punished for eating and drinking!" The green pothos had long been paying attention to the door, and when she got the news, she greeted her.

The pothos is the big girl next to the old lady, and she has been with the old lady for many years, so she is not like an ordinary girl.

The green pothos led everyone directly to the dining hall, although the folk customs of Daxia are relatively open, but men and women do not sit at the same table, but it is customary, so there is a large purple wood screen in the middle, and there are gold thread embroidery on the screen surface, and jade embellishment, which is particularly exquisite.

As soon as I entered the house, I was affected by the laughter and laughter in the hall, and I saw the old lady sitting in the middle of the upper position, and today is not as simple as the Buddha in the past, wearing a dark red cloud Fushou robe, and a red gold phoenix hairpin on her head, surrounded by a group of ladies and granddaughters-in-law, smiling.

"Old lady, the girls are here, let's sit down, it's time to start the banquet, you are all playful, and you are all on the willow tops!" The second aunt is not qualified to enter the main table, and the aunt in the second and third rooms is at the small table next to her, but this year she is temporarily in charge of the house, and she is the concubine of the current prince, so she can serve at the main table this year.

"I wish my grandmother a happy and prosperous new year. The mother, the second aunt, and the third aunt are getting younger and younger, happy and healthy. All sisters-in-law, all right. Yun Qing saluted with everyone, bowed to the New Year, and then sat down, and Yun Yu entrusted the blessings of today's saints, and also entered the main table.

"Good, good!" The old lady looked at her children and grandchildren, and the granddaughters were all well-behaved and cute, and she was very happy. I was smiling all the time, and the wrinkles on my face were a little deeper.

"It's good for the three girls to look at their bodies!" The second wife is gentle and gentle.

"Yes, thanks to the old lady's blessing." The third wife is round and jade, and she is also shrewd and capable, and her three sentences are inseparable from the flattery of the old lady.

Everyone gathered together and was beaming. The voice of Jin Guogong behind the screen also came: "Mother, in addition to the accident of the three girls this year, our Guogong Mansion is also smooth, Qiyan is also pregnant, the eldest has Tanhua again, the son and the younger brothers have discussed, and next year we will invite a few famous teachers to the clan school, and we can relax in the future." ”

"Yes, Mother, it's all your blessing and protection." The second master also agreed.

"Okay, you are all good boys, come, come, eat, and we'll go to the garden together to watch fireworks and listen to the big drama in a while!" The old lady was really happy to hear it, and everyone also made a mess, although they still obeyed the rules, but they were not as restrained as usual, they talked and laughed, and they were harmonious.
