As the end of the year approached, the garment pavilion made a few more duvets with the cooperation of the imperial dining room, which first met the needs of the princesses, and then it was the turn of the princes......

Chu Qingluo got a bed because of the empress's special gift, and she didn't forget to get a bed for Jiang Hua. This can be regarded as what she said she did.

On this day, Luo Lifei sent a duvet to Chu Qingluo.

Recently, she always goes to the famous clothing shop when she has nothing to do, so she knows a little bit about the awkward things between Peony and Chu Qingluo.

Luo Lifei first asked the attendant to put down the box containing the futon, and then asked, "Hasn't the peony come today?" ”

"Hmm......" Chu Qingluo held his chin with his hand, looking listless.

Luo Lifei glanced at her and sighed: "Alas, don't think too much, you are true friends, and you won't be strangers to this matter." ”

"I hope so."

Anyway, Chu Qingluo had already thought about it. If Peony doesn't show up again in a few days, she will knock on the door of Peony's house every day until she knocks on the door! She didn't believe it, how long could Peony continue to avoid it and not see it?!

Luo Lifei sat down opposite Chu Qingluo, pursed her lips and said, "Before I met you, I didn't have any friends. ”

Chu Qingluo was stunned, couldn't help but smile, and asked, "No, when I first arrived at the Garment Pavilion, what about the two people who sneered at me with you?" Didn't it help you at the time? ”

"Which two?"

"I don't remember the name, it's the two who have been with you all day."

Luo Lifei recalled for a while, and then suddenly realized: "You said that they are not friends at all!" It's just that I deliberately approach someone who is profitable, and I don't bother to pay attention to them. After saying that, I didn't forget to roll my eyes.

Hearing Luo Lifei say this, Chu Qingluo laughed. It turns out that Luo Lifei is still quite clear in her heart.

"Recently, I see that your relationship with Kiulowni is very harmonious." Chu Qingluo said.

Luo Lifei tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "...... It's okay. ”

Recently, she has also met Chu Yilin once or twice, and she happened to meet them in the famous clothing shop. Every time he saw her interacting with Ling Nan intimately, he still looked like a hippie smile, and he didn't see any discomfort at all.

"I think you're right." Luo Lifei suddenly sighed: "I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life." Maybe I have no relationship with Chu Yilin, and I can't force it. ”

Listening to Luo Lifei's words, she knew that she was already very disappointed in Chu Yilin.

However, Chu Qingluo vaguely saw a glimmer of hope. Because with Chu Yilin's personality, he won't go to the famous clothing shop if he has nothing to do. The reason why he has appeared frequently recently is probably because Luo Lifei is there.

But Chu Qingluo didn't plan to tell Luo Lifei about this major discovery. She hoped that Luo Lifei could hold back this momentum and continue to look forward. As for the task of giving Chu Yilin a whip in the end, Chu Qingluo planned to do it for Luo Lifei.

"It's time for you to do a ceremony in the next year, right?" Chu Qingluo asked.

Speaking of this, Luo Lifei immediately drooped her face and said: "On this cold day, no one will be watching at that time, how embarrassing it is?!" Why was I born at such a time? ”

Chu Qingluo sneered and said, "Don't worry, our famous clothing shop will go to the party, and I will also bring those from the Chu family." ”

"......" Hearing Chu Qingluo say, 'Those of the Chu family', Luo Lifei just thought of Chu Yilin." Chu Yilin...... Will he go to see it then? ”

"I don't know about this, anyway, Nine-Tails and Tongmu will definitely go." Chu Qingluo paused, and then said, "Besides, it doesn't matter if Chu Yilin goes or not, right?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Seeing that she was silent, Chu Qingluo suddenly said, "Lifei, discuss something with you." ”

Luo Lifei readjusted her emotions and said, "What's the matter? You say—"

"The rouge that my second brother gave you before, I think the color is very beautiful, I want to borrow it from you, okay?"

Luo Lifei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You can take it, I don't want to use it anyway." ”

Chu Qingluo grinned toothily and said, "Then thank you." ”

……

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky was full of snow.

The Chu family sat in a circle and ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. During the banquet, Chu Mu took out the coins prepared in advance and distributed them to everyone in turn.

"I wish my mother a long and healthy life! Do a roaring trade! Fortune every year! ”

The first to get the New Year's money was Chu Qingluo, and she happily took it from Chu's mother. If you look closely, it's a string of coins dressed in red string. The obverse of the coin bears the words 'Long Live the Thousand Autumns' and 'Peace in the World', while on the reverse is the character 'Ji' and is surrounded by phoenixes.

Chu Qingluo had never seen such a coin, and asked in a low voice to Gongsun Yu beside him, "Can this coin be used to buy things?" ”

He glanced at her and couldn't help but smile, "I can't." ”

Seeing her look strange, Gongsun Yu said again: "This coin is to be placed at the foot of the bed or under the pillow, specially used to ward off evil spirits." ”

"Oh...... I didn't know that New Year's money was like this, so I prepared another one. After speaking, Chu Qingluo turned his head towards the Nine Tails and said, "Take out the red envelope I prepared for everyone." ”

"Okay—" Nine-Tails received the instructions and immediately trotted back to the incense courtyard and took the things.

Chu Mu stared at the pile of big red purses in the hands of the Nine Tails and asked, "...... this?" ”

Chu Qingluo reached out and picked up the largest one, handed it to Chu's mother with both hands, and said, "Mother, this is my daughter's filial piety to you, I wish you a long life!" ”

“…… Thank you. Chu Mu took it with a puzzled face, put it on the palm of her hand and checked it, heavy. Immediately, open the purse and look at it......

It's silver for nothing!

Finding that Chu Mu's expression was surprised, all the people who got the purse also opened it one after another to see it...... Immediately, there was an exclamation.

Wuxiao stared at the purse in his hand and couldn't help asking, "What does Qingluo mean?" ”

"This is the red envelope I prepared for everyone, and it also means the New Year."

"But this ......" Wuxiao thought that he had obtained a lot of money in the famous clothing shop on weekdays, and now he was really embarrassed to take more of her silver.

Chu Qingluo stretched out his hand to interrupt what Wuxuan was about to say, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard for a whole year, and this is just a little bit of my heart for everyone. If you say more, you're really out of sight. ”

Seeing her say this, it was difficult to refuse again, so he had to lean over and say, "...... Thank you, Qingluo. ”

Chu Yilin, who was on the side, found that even he had a share, so he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, stood up and said, "Come on, come on, everyone toast, thank you to the female official of our family." ”

After hearing this, everyone hurriedly raised their glasses and stood up.

At this time, Chu Yilin took the lead and said: "I wish the third sister good luck to the east and good luck to the sky." ”

Everyone's cups slammed in the air, and the auspicious words kept coming...... The Chu family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was really a scene of reunion and harmony. (To be continued.) )
