Time passed in a blink of an eye, more than two months passed at once, and it entered the wax moon, the last month of this year, it was really cold and lively, because Yan Qijin had a whim to receive people from the other three countries at this year's palace banquet, so since November, there have been many princes and princesses coming in carriages, which was originally what he suddenly thought, but he also needs to prepare well, so Yan Qihao began to be busy again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, the banquet was held on the last day of the year, and some of the palaces and post stations in the palace had already been cleaned, and after the princes and concubines of the three kingdoms came over, they all moved in one by one. Naturally, the Three Kingdoms have also heard of the explosion encountered on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Northern Yan Kingdom, so when Yan Qijin met them, they would ask this question, and Yan Qijin did not shy away from answering them, of course, he would not say anything about the 'forget the worries' given by Zhan Xiaoyan, he only said that Shi Renjie and Shi Batian had already been dealt with, and there was no need to worry about follow-up troubles!

But no matter what, the people who came first had already started shopping and playing in Kyoto in the Northern Yan Kingdom, or walking around with each other, after all, because the four countries were far apart, so the people of the four countries usually didn't have much contact, could it be that one country would invite people from the other three countries to participate in a banquet or some kind of event, and let them take this opportunity to have a good exchange with people who are good friends with other countries. And even though it's the New Year, it's just a good time for them to spend it with their families, and now that they have the opportunity for people from all four countries to get together, it's good to come to the banquet, even though it's a long time to go.

"Sister, our New Year's goods have been bought, and today is already twenty-seven, Brother Yan has not been to the villa for several days, and I think that because of the upcoming banquet, the remaining two days must be his busiest time." Zhan Xiaoning said to Zhan Xiaoyan. Although there are subordinates in the family, Zhan Xiaoyan still likes to take her younger siblings with her younger siblings for things like buying New Year's goods, buying what they need and like, and then having a lively New Year.

"Yes, although he is usually in the villa all the time, he is not an idler, and he has his own things to be busy, especially in the last few days of the year. But Xiao Ning, don't worry, because he didn't promise us, even if he can't come on the twenty-ninth day because of the palace banquet, he will definitely come on the first day of junior high school, and when the time comes, he will cook a meal for us by himself, don't you already want to know how his cooking skills are now? Zhan said with a smile on his face.

Because she knew that Yan Qihao had something to do, and it was impossible for him to be in the villa all the time, but when he was busy, he would come to the villa again. And she is not idle all the time, she also has something to be busy, the things in the store, the things at home have to be taken care of, and it is impossible to be idle there all the time, waiting for him to arrive or leave. Even if they are really together in the future, they all have their own things to be busy with.

"Well, I know, but now let's prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, eat dumplings at noon and a reunion dinner at night, and we are all together all the time, so there is no need to wait for anyone." And even if you Brother Yan don't come, we won't do less of his share, because it's a reunion dinner, and it's meant to be full and eat more, even if you eat it, it's okay. Zhan Xiaoyan touched Zhan Xiaoning's head and said.

Zhan Xiaoning has been in women's school for almost half a year, and she has learned a lot of things, and now she has become more cheerful and lively, so she has talked a lot more than before, and she has also made good friends, and she has invited two guests to the house twice, Zhan Xiaoyan has also seen it, they are two good girls, and the three of them also get along very well, which is also what Zhan Xiaoyan is happy to see, and it is also one of the purposes for her to send her sister to women's school. And now, my sister is also ready to give good gifts to the two of them, and the two of them have also sent gifts.

"Okay, then I'll also cook a few dishes by myself, and let everyone taste my craftsmanship when I have a reunion dinner. The female school also teaches cooking, although it is only a simple teaching, but because I have always been in touch, there are still a few dishes that are still good, such as fried rice cakes, braised eggplant, pumpkin pie and roasted corn, so these dishes are good to make. Zhan Xiaoning also said with a slight smile, and then continued to wash the vegetables. Even though it's not twenty-nine today, they still have to eat dinner, so now they're cooking today's dinner.

"Miss, there is a guest, it is Mama Wang of the Sun Mansion." When Zhan Xiaoyan was about to start frying meat, he heard Diemeng walk in and say. Zhan Xiaoyan was a little surprised, because the people of Sun Mansion also ordered jewelry here twice, but I didn't expect that during the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Yi would send Mama Wang to send gifts. But since she came, of course she was going to receive it, and fortunately, there were also return gifts, and she was not afraid that she just accepted the other party's gifts, and did not return the gifts to her back.

"Hello Miss Zhan, this is a gift that the old lady is going to give you, I wish you a good New Year!" Mama Wang came to the living room with a smile on her face, and said very politely. Because she has been accompanying Mrs. Yi since she was a child, she has been with her since she was ten years old, so she knows that Mrs. Yi has a very good impression of Zhan Xiaoyan, and this gift is also what she explained to the treasury to find, and now she will send it on her behalf. And Mama Wang saw this [Sun Warm Villa], although it is a residence, it gives people a very spacious and free feeling, very similar to the feeling of showing a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Mama Wang! Then Mama Wang will sit here for a while, and I will go and get the gift prepared for Mrs. Yi. Xiao Ning, help me entertain Mama Wang and chat with her! Zhan Xiaoyan personally accepted the things handed over by Mama Wang, and then said while walking inside with it. At this time, she was surprised by Mama Wang's arrival, but since she was giving gifts on behalf of Mrs. Yi, of course she had to accept it, and Mrs. Yi was also an old man she respected.

"Okay, then thank you Miss Zhan, I will bring this gift to the old lady, I believe she will like it." After a while, Zhan Xiaoyan walked out and handed a box to Mama Wang, who said as she took it.

"Then Mama Wang, if you are not in a hurry to go back, you can have dinner here, it just so happens that we are about to eat." Zhan smiled and saw that Mama Wang stood up and didn't do it anymore, it seemed that she was planning to leave like this, of course she had to open her mouth to stay, and this is the hour, it was originally the time to eat, for the guests who came to the door, whether it was out of etiquette or in good faith, they had to keep it.

"No need, Miss Zhan, I'm going to go back directly, in fact, I should have come earlier, but it was only because a little maid made a mistake in doing things, so it was delayed. Miss Zhan, the old lady said that you are very welcome to visit the house during the New Year, and you can also bring your family with you, then I will leave, Miss Zhan stay! Mama Wang shook her head, rejected her retention, and then said what Mrs. Yi had explained.

"Well, I'll definitely go when I have time! That rain butterfly, send Mama Wang, you must watch her get into the carriage before you can come back! Zhan Xiaoyan naturally smiled and responded, because during the New Year, she had no place to visit, and now at most, there was only the Regent's Mansion to visit, but there were no elders for her to visit, and Guan Lao lived directly in the villa, so it was good for an elder to let her visit.

"Sister, you know more and more people, which means that the jewelry you sell must be very popular. But sister, when I shook your hand a few days ago, I found that your palms and fingers were calloused, and they were a little rough to the touch, so sister, while you want to make jewelry, don't forget to take good care of your hands. Zhan Xiaoning said when Zhan Xiaoyan walked into the kitchen again to fry meat after Mama Wang left.

Because she is also distressed and concerned about her sister, and she also knows how difficult it is for her sister! In the past, when she couldn't see, she could only use her hands, ears, and heart to pay attention to everything around her, but now that she can see, she can detect the faces and expressions of the people around her, and there are some places that she can notice, so she will definitely not lack care about her sister and two brothers.

"Okay, I'll pay attention, and I've been taking care of it all the time. Now let's hurry up and cook, everyone is waiting for the finish of the meal! Zhan replied with a smile. She knows that if she wants to use tools to make jewelry, the index finger and middle finger of her right hand will have calluses, which are formed when the tool is in the same position all year round, and then the palm of her hand will also be a little broken because of the long time spent making jewelry.

Of course, Zhan Xiaoyan has noticed these situations for a long time, and she has been making potions, the formula of this potion was given to her by a master who taught her to make jewelry in her previous life, and at that time she already had calluses on her hands, but after insisting on soaking for half a year, the calluses on her hands disappeared some, so of course she has been using it all the time in this life. It's just that I can't completely eliminate the calluses on my fingers, but there are only very subtle and imperceptible parts left, but I didn't expect my sister to notice it.

"Smiling, your craftsmanship is still so good, but you said that the fried rice cake is made by Xiao Ning, and it is also delicious! Although the fried is slightly burnt, but the taste of this little paste is just right, and the saltiness of this fried rice cake is also very suitable, Xiao Ning fried the rice cake for us for the first time, and it was so good, very good! Guan Lao commented after eating other dishes and two pieces of fried rice cakes. The others nodded in agreement, although they did not speak.

"Hehe, if you like to eat, eat more, and wait until the reunion dinner the day after tomorrow, Xiao Ning will still do it, make all the dishes she can cook, and everyone will eat more when the time comes!" Zhan smiled and looked at his sister's embarrassed look, so he answered for her. Because rice cakes are generally eaten boiled and fried, it is rare to think of eating them fried, but of course they are more delicious when fried and easy to get hot.

"Yes, every year you and your grandmother come to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and every dish is delicious, and this time there is Xiao Ning together." Originally, everyone worked together, we and the subordinates came to clean the villa, and then you were responsible for cooking the reunion dinner, and every time we were very happy! Guan Lao said.

Because even if he is not young, he is not unable to move, so for the things at home, it is not that he does nothing, he will do what he can, and he has recently begun to let Zhan Xiaoyu read medical books, among the brothers, Xiaoyu is more interested in medical skills, and Guan Lao found out that he was secretly reading medical books at the beginning, so he specially selected a few medical books for him to read, and took advantage of the New Year's holiday when he didn't have to go to the school, and tested how much he had memorized.

"Okay, now everyone will eat first, the dishes are already a little cold, so grandpa, if you have anything to say, let's talk again after dinner." Zhan Xiaotian spoke first when her sister was about to say something. In such a season and weather, even if the dish is freshly cooked, it will completely freeze in less than half an hour, so it is best to finish the meal while it is still warm.

Half an hour later, everyone sat in the living room chatting, each holding hot tea in their hands, because even though they lived together, not everyone was usually here, so the only time to communicate was at night. And it's nice to get together like this, even though not everyone can speak, but sitting together occasionally means that everyone is a family living under the same roof.

"Yes, time always flies so fast, a year passes in the blink of an eye, or it should be said that there is such a feeling, obviously yesterday was the summer of the first half of the year, and in a blink of an eye it was the winter of the second half of the year, and it was the end of the year, after these few days, it was about to enter the summer again, and I was ready to change clothes!" Guan Lao said with emotion. It is precisely because he is already an old man that he will pay more attention to the passage of time, and want to know what tangible things he can leave behind in this limited time, because memory is intangible. Especially when I see these young faces, this is even more so.

Because when you see them, you will feel that you were young, for them, most of their lives have passed, in addition to people, only memories can be kept, and for being able to see tangible things, you don't know what you have kept, what things can be seen, things that can be used to preserve.
