Chapter 44: Chinese New Year

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the house was full of lights and joy.

The girls in each room received the New Year's money from the aunts' wives, and Ji Tianyou's smile trembled, because she received the most, not to mention that the fourth aunt has always been generous and she is the only maid, only that the third lady Jiang Yiruo gave a super gift alone, and the heavy cloth bag makes people blush just by looking at it.

Jiang Zili also gave Ji Tianyou one more, saying that it was a reward for helping in the weaving workshop last time.

This year's red envelope made Ji Tianyou a rich man all of a sudden. She held all the silver taels in her arms, looking like a thief, and put it under the bed and took it out, and put some in her shoes, and felt that it was too obvious. After thinking about it, she felt that there was a risk anywhere, she valued the money too much, if Su Xiaoman still cared about her, then this could be her dowry.

Lu Ying'er and Jiang Yiruo secretly lay by the window, laughing into a group, and had to sigh that this girl was really too stupid, they were still joking, taking advantage of the banquet on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve to steal her money to tease her, now it seems that they will really play with their lives.

Jiang Yiruo couldn't help but break in, leaning on the door frame and saying cool things to make fun of her: "I'm really scared of you, such a little bit of silver can make you care crazy, and one day I will fall off the gold mountain, and I won't scare you to death." ”

Ji Tianyou was like a great enemy, hugged his belongings into his arms, and said vigilantly: "When did you come, are you fighting some bad idea so quietly?" ”

Jiang Yiruo snatched it up, held it high and teased her: "What do you want so much silver for a lonely girl's family?" ”

"Give it to me, give it back to me" Ji Tianyou jumped to grab it, how could she not be Jiang Yiruo's opponent, her face turned red in a hurry, and she explained in a panic, "Why is it useless, I still have to earn a dowry on my own." ”

Jiang Yiruo was amused by her, and laughed even more violently: "Oh, did you hear it?" Thinking about the dowry, I want to hear, who are you going to marry? ”

In fact, when Jiang Yiruo said these words, she already regretted it, she was afraid that Ji Tianyou would say that it was Jiang Zili, and she was even more afraid that she would say that it was Su Xiaoman.

Of course, Ji Tianyou didn't say anything, she just lowered her head shyly, and there was a little more joy on her crimson face.

Lu Ying'er diverted the topic without a trace, "Hurry up, the dinner is about to start, we can't miss the excitement of this year." ”

Almost everyone was wearing festive clothes, some were red, some were pink, only Zhao Yansu was emerald green, so eye-catching in the crowd, she was independent and deliberately ignored by everyone.

On this day, I don't care much about the usual etiquette and identity, and the masters and sons of the house all get together to celebrate together. Jiang Zili stood in the center, raised his wine glass and said some innocuous congratulatory messages.

Ji Tianyou was far away, couldn't hear clearly and didn't have the patience to listen to these congratulatory messages, only waited until the last "dry", then quickly raised the wine glass and drank it all, picked up the chopsticks and went towards the braised pork clip that he had been thinking about for a long time.

This piece of braised pork made Ji Tianyou eat a sense of happiness that she has never had, this is the most lively and humane year she has lived, she looked at the familiar faces in the crowd, and sighed: It would be better if grandma was there.

Then, with a flash of thought, he returned to Su Xiaoman, and with one more him, it should be regarded as Elysium. Ji Tianyou covered his mouth and sneered.

"Idiot, saliva is pouring out." Lu Ying'er really couldn't stand her look, so she took a handkerchief and wiped Ji Tianyou's mouth.

Ji Tianyou looked at Lu Ying'er and still couldn't stop laughing, and after a while, she suddenly leaned into Lu Ying'er's ear and whispered: "Fourth aunt, if I get married next year, you and the third lady will give us a witness, right?" ”

Lu Ying'er's face collapsed in midair, she didn't know how to answer, she knew better than anyone that the day that Ji Tianyou was looking forward to would never come.

"The second master has come to toast, and I'll talk about it when the future is done." Lu Ying'er lightly diverted the topic, she went to see Jiang Yiruo, who was drinking with Zhao Yansu, "Everyone is drunk and I am sober, there is no fun at all, come on, don't get drunk, let's start too." ”

Lu Ying'er brought a glass of wine to Ji Tianyou and drank it all herself.

Ji Tianyou frowned, she didn't dare to drink, she knew too much about her drink, but she couldn't refute the face of the fourth aunt, so she had to grit her teeth and say, "Give up your life to accompany the gentleman." ”

A glass of wine in my stomach, choking on tears. But it's strange, it seems that as soon as you start, the second cup is no longer so hard to swallow, so there is a third cup, and a fourth cup

When Jiang Zili came over to toast, Ji Tianyou couldn't remember how much she had drunk, she only felt that her legs were floating.

Jiang Zili came down in a circle, although he drank a lot, but he was not drunk, because he had to last until the end, and there was the most auspicious Tianyou.

At this time, after three rounds of drinking, people have already divided into groups to chat about their own. When Lu Ying'er saw Jiang Zi leaving, she avoided from afar, she was too afraid that she would take Jiang Yiruo's plan out of the tray with Jiang Zi as soon as she couldn't bear it, the so-called out of sight and out of mind, she simply went to find Jiang Yiruo.

"Second master." When Ji Tianyou saw Jiang Zili, he raised his face and squinted his eyes and called him.

Jiang Zili, who was sure that he hadn't drunk too much just now, actually felt that the wine was getting stronger, and he had an urge to pick up the face in front of him and kiss him fiercely.

But he held back, he shook his head and pretended to be calm and said, "God bless, come, I salute you for this last glass of wine." ”

"Okay." Ji Tianyou briskly did it first, she poured another glass, and then poured Jiang Zili a cup, just like that, you drink one cup and I drink one by one.

The temple bells rang and firecrackers rang out, and the crowd boiled and cheered: "It's the New Year!" ”

"It's the New Year, it's the new year," Jiang Zili muttered to himself as he sat on the ground with Ji Tianyou at this time.

Ji Tianyou stood up and shouted in the direction of the temple: "Happy New Year!" Grandma" She wanted to say something, but she choked up and couldn't speak.

Jiang Zili stood up and hugged Ji Tianyou into his arms, and he said pityingly: "If you want to cry, cry out." ”

Jiang Zili only had Ji Tianyou in his eyes at this time, and he automatically hid the crowd, but he didn't know how many people's eyes were aroused by this move, and the sharpest one was Jiang Yiruo.

This was not Ji Tianyou's first intimate contact with him, but this time, Ji Tianyou did not resist, she lay on Jiang Zili's shoulder, crying, crying and laughing.

She remembered what Zhao Yansu had said, do you know how difficult it is to refuse a man's warm chest? Now Ji Tianyou feels as if she understands a little, but she thinks that it is just a simple hug from a friend.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Zili looked down at the person in his arms and couldn't help but ask softly.

Ji Tianyou broke free from his embrace and said with a smile: "I remember that at this time last year, I was still hungry, if it weren't for Su Xiaoman, I guess I would have starved to death." But now, you see, I'm living so well, and there are many people who give me New Year's money, and I want to keep it as a dowry, hehe. ”

Jiang Zili looked at her with an indescribable sadness. He wanted to hug her again, but felt that one hug was not enough.

"Ji Tianyou, I'll marry you." Jiang Zili broke Ji Tianyou's shoulder and said solemnly to her bright eyes.
