On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wen dragged his "sick" body and got up and asked his aunt Jane: "Are you all ready?" ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the first thing to do is to sweep the dust.

After sweeping the dust, the portraits of Zhong Kui and the door god should be added, and two firecrackers should be given to relatives and friends. The Lu family had no other relatives in the capital, so they only sent Lu Luo's new relatives - the Yan family and the Fang family.

After sending it, I have to post it at home. After pasting the door god and Zhong Kui statue, it is necessary to prepare for the sacrifice.

The sacrifice uses a kind of "New Year's gluttony", which is first sacrificed and then eaten by the whole family.

Nian dumplings are similar to wontons, which are a kind of soup cakes, and whether they have fillings or not depends on the situation of each family.

After that, there are some New Year's activities, you can participate in it or not, and you can keep it until midnight.

"It's all ready, ma'am." The eldest aunt said respectfully.

During the day on Chinese New Year's Eve, the little maids and maids were busy sweeping the dust, Lu Luo and Wen moved to the inner bed, and the two of them warmed up on the kang and gossiped some gossip.

"It's so boring to celebrate the New Year this year." Lu Luo and Wen said.

Wen agreed.

In the afternoon, when worshipping their ancestors, Wen and Lu fell to the middle hall of the outer courtyard.

The portraits of the ancestors have been hung in the middle hall, and tablets and offerings have been placed.

Lu Qijun's expression was not very good, not angry, but a little sickly, his voice was buzzing, as if he was cold and his nose was stuffy, and he didn't know if he had a fever.

The second half of the year has not been very smooth.

Although Lu Luo had already withdrawn the sharp angle array he had given him, his luck was still not good.

After the sacrifice, everyone gathered in one place. After eating the New Year's Dumplings, Lu Luo felt that eating dumplings was similar to eating dumplings in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve in the next generation.

"I made an appointment with my classmates to try Nian Geng, and Zichu will definitely come back." Lu Qijun said to everyone.

He wasn't in good spirits and looked tired.

Trial New Year's Geng is a gathering of people to gamble on Chinese New Year's Eve, which is a current trend to predict the fate of the coming year by betting on the wins and losses of bets.

Many large families are family members who get together to try the New Year, so it must be the master to win. However, Lu Qijun's group of fox friends and dog friends also took the opportunity to gamble. Aim for winning.

Lu Qijun doesn't gamble much. However, every year in the trial year, he has to attend to ask for an auspicious explanation.

After Lu Qijun left, the women crowded in the flower hall in the outer courtyard. Waiting for him to come back.

in front of them. And they laid out all kinds of fruits. And alcohol.

"How about we try Nian Geng too?" The third aunt smiled and proposed.

Lu Luo and Wen pretended to be sick and listless; The eldest aunt is busy and absent-minded; The four Niang sisters cried with sad faces. No interest.

After asking around, almost no one responded to the third aunt.

And Lu Mu, the son of the third aunt, has already snuggled into Lu Luo's arms.

This kid likes Lu Luo very much, more than his own sister's intimacy.

Lu Luo doesn't hate Lu Mu either, although Lu Mu is Lu Qijun's son, he is well-behaved and sensible, cute and smart, with round eyes like a third aunt, very beautiful, without the shadow of Lu Qijun.

"Tell Little Ruier to come in." After a while, Wen saw that it was almost time, so he arranged for the little maid to send the New Year's plate.

The New Year's Plate is also known as "Feeding the New Year", in a large tray, put a koi, and two jade rabbits lie on both sides.

The koi fish and jade rabbit can be made of flour or porcelain. In recent years, Beijing has become more and more extravagant, and some people have even made it out of silver, and even more so in gold.

The Lu family still sent noodles, and Wen asked Xiao Ruier to send them to Wen Lexi and Qianyan.

The aunts didn't know Qianyan, and they thought they were only giving it to Wen Lexi.

When he arrived, the little guy on the door came in and said, "The Yongxi Marquis Mansion has sent a gift." ”

Then, Fang Shangshu's mansion also sent a gift.

In the end, the Song family of Yanping Houfu and the eldest princess of Chengyang also sent it.

They are all relatively ordinary, and they are also made with dough. This kind of pasta, which can be eaten tomorrow morning as gnocchi soup, is another custom.

"Let's all go and return the favor." Wen commanded.

Everyone was a little envious.

But the Wen family and Lu Luo are very shrewd, and these powerful families will not take them there.

Only the eldest aunt does not give up, and hopes that Lu Luo can bring Liu Niang in the future, even if it is a steproom or a partial room, the eldest aunt is willing.

The concubine of the six-grade Xiaojing official, being a good concubine of a high-ranking official and dignitary, although it is disgraceful, is also reasonable. Those defeated nobles in Beijing gave their concubines to the hot and powerful families as concubines.

The eldest aunt thought to herself: Everyone can afford to lose this face, and the Lu family can also afford to lose it!

"Madam, the Marquis of Zhongwu personally sent a gift." Just after the end of the day, the little guy came again.

Everyone's eyes were hot, especially Siniang, who seemed to have a little hope in despair.

Wen had already been wary of her, and asked the maids to watch Siniang and not let Siniang act rashly.

Wen took Lu Luo and went to the middle hall to see Yan Xun.

"Master, he went out to try New Year's Geng, and he hasn't returned home yet." Wen said to Yan Xun with a smile.

Yan Xun changed into a brown windy dress, his posture was resolute and straight, he looked particularly handsome and heroic, and he had the aggressive demeanor of a general.

"That's the son-in-law coming early. It's okay, it's not too late for the son-in-law to wait for the father-in-law. Yan Xun smiled, his gaze crossed Wen's and fell on Lu Luo's face.

Lu Luo raised his eyes to look at him.

At this look, Yan Xun couldn't beat her, opened her eyes slightly, and talked to Wen.

"You don't have to wait, I don't know when the master will come back, this middle hall is also strangely cold, and the flower hall can't invite you over. You go back first, and you'll have to pay New Year's greetings everywhere tomorrow morning. Wen smiled.

Yan Xun listened to her mother-in-law's words very much: "Yes." ”

Then, he said, "My son-in-law has a sentence that I want to say to Wu Niang alone."

Wen gave Lu Luo a look.

Lu Luo was reluctant to move, pretending not to see it. However, Yan Xun looked like a scoundrel, and if Lu Luo didn't agree, he wouldn't leave.

"I'll send General Yan." Lu Luo finally said helplessly, it was not good to openly annoy her mother, so he carried the lantern and sent Yan Xun to the gate.

Chinese New Year's Eve is lively, and the sound of firecrackers in the distance and near is endless.

Two big red lanterns were hung at the entrance of the Lu Mansion, and the misty red light was on the ground, the lights were charming, and it was cold and cold.

There was a dark red frost on the ground.

Lu Luo shrunk his neck, very cold.

The little guys were all hiding in the gatehouse to roast the fire, and there was no one at the gate, only Yan Xun's entourage, leading the horse and standing far away in the dark.

"What's wrong?" Lu Luo asked him.

"I want to give you a gift." Yan Xun smiled, "I don't know what you like, so I just bought a hosta, you don't have to dislike it." ”

Yan Xun took out a sky blue velvet box and handed it to Lu Luo.

Lu Luo took it.

She was about to look down at the hosta, but suddenly, Yan Xun quickly leaned over and landed a dragonfly-like kiss on Lu Luo's left cheek.

Lu Luo was stunned.

Yan Xun had already walked quickly to the front, the entourage of the guards led the horse, he turned over the horse neatly, I don't know whether it was to flee or something else, drove the horse away, and disappeared in Lu Luo's sight.

His lips were hot, and Lu Luo's cheeks were cold, so it felt obvious.

That bit of heat doesn't go away for a long time.

"Am I being slighted by him?" Lu Luo thought about it, but it was still difficult to define Yan Xun's behavior.

Is it intimacy, or is it frivolous?

The hosta, she took it back and threw it to the maid, let it be put in the cage, and didn't look at it again.
