The days that followed, it was really a busy word. In addition to preparing the New Year's gifts for relatives, Nalan also has to prepare for the New Year's gifts for Qi Shi's bosses and colleagues, especially for the New Year's gifts in the palace, she has carefully read it more than a dozen times before and after, and she is relieved that there are no mistakes, and at the same time, the New Year's gifts sent from everywhere should also be checked and distributed. In this case, Nalan didn't have time to take care of the children, so he carried Hajilan to Qi Buchen's room every day, let the children play in one place, and asked Chunxing to stay by the side, doing needlework while taking care of it. She herself took Mama Shulu and the head of the house, and she was busy every day. Because Qi Shi set off for Chahar immediately after the New Year, he had to hand over the affairs in the yamen, and for two days he didn't even have time to go home for dinner.

Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching day by day, and people everywhere in the mansion are moving, busy cleaning the courtyard, posting couplets, hanging notes, window flowers and blessing characters, and Nalan is busy steaming rice cakes and making snacks with Chunxing Xia Zhi. Qi Shi finally took a breath, and he also personally put a red flag on the door. Looking out the door, every household on the street has posted various colored flags to show that their flags belong to them, and some families are still tying poles in front of the door to prepare for firecrackers. What a strong New Year's flavor!

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole house was lit up, and the pole in the front yard was hung with red lanterns, which were not allowed to be extinguished. The steward had already set up an offering table in the front yard, and when the hour came, he would worship his ancestors.

After worshipping their ancestors, the family sat down around the table and ate some food for the festival. After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Qi Shi hugged Hajilan, took Nalan clan, Eruri and Qi Buchen sat and laughed on the pit. Among everyone's laughter, only Nalan seemed very quiet, without the joy of the festival, but with a dull and firm taste. Nalan coughed, and everyone immediately looked at her, only to hear her say: "Master, husband and wife need to share weal and sorrow...... Let's go to Chahar as a family! There was a rare persistence and unquestioning in her tone. Eruli immediately voted in favor, "Amma, my son will follow you to Chahar, and it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books." Amma, you agree! Even Qi Buchen, who has always been demure, shouted in support of Eruri, she pulled Qi Shi's sleeve and kept shaking it and said, "My daughter is also going to Chahar, so you agree!" Hajlan stared at Ama fiercely, giving a threatening look, and receiving a long-lost and familiar look from his daughter, Qi Shi's heart moved, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded under everyone's expectation.

At the same time, with the lighting of the fireworks to signal the time, the whole city got the letter, and all the fireworks and firecrackers were lit, and the sound of crackling explosions was endless. In the cheerful atmosphere of the whole family of Qi Shi who went to Chahar together, ushered in the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi.

Early in the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Hajlan was woken up, and Mama Geffoh reminded Hajlan that he was going to his grandfather's house today. Wow, I'm going to see the famous Nalan Pearl in history today, I'm looking forward to it! Hajlan thought to himself excitedly. Under the service of Yahuan and Mama, Hajlan soon joined the army. Qi Shi and Erruli rode horses and walked at the front of the group under the protection of the guards, and Hajlan and Qi Buchen shared a carriage and followed Nalan's chariot.

This is the first time Hajlan has been out of the house since he came to the Qing Dynasty, and he is naturally curious and needless to say, and he didn't stop in the carriage, wanting to look out. But in this winter, the curtains are much thicker. Hajlan could only see a glimmer of snow-white light through the gap occasionally blown by the wind, and occasionally he could see other carriages kicking and stomping by, hey, he finally came out once and saw nothing. But it's okay, I went to Chahar to the bottom, haha, a desirable trip to Chahar! When he was bored, Hadiran thought about it again. The carriage swayed for a moment, then slowly stopped, "Gege, it's here." The driver said respectfully outside the curtain. Then Mama Gefjo lifted the curtain and carried Hajlan out of the carriage.

Hajlan shuddered, and there was a stove in the car, so it was not so cold, and when he came out, he felt that the capital hundreds of years ago was also very cold in winter. Hajilan's eyes were not enough when he got out of the car, and he saw two stone lions at the door, with their mouths open, carved and painted lifelike, and the three big Nalan mansions on the gold-lacquered plaque made people feel solemn. A family of four entered the corner gate smoothly and changed cars.

Hajlan lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the small bridges and flowing water, pavilions, strange rocks, and patches of snow covering it in winter, which made people feel full of fun. In addition, the layout is similar to that of Qi Shifu. From a very early age, the Chinese have detailed regulations on what kind of people live in what kind of house, and there are rules on layout, specifications and even how many door nails to use.

The car of the three Nalan mother and daughter passed through a few doors, and then passed a hugging house to the grandmother's main house. When I entered the main house, I saw my grandmother with silver hair, graceful and rich. Nalan came in with his daughters, and a prayer mat was placed on the ground, and he was called to the couch to take a closer look. The old lady first took Qi Buchen's hand and asked what she liked to eat. Qi Buchen obediently called Guo Luo's mother, and then answered the old lady's questions one by one. Oh, it turns out that the Manchu Chinese and foreign grandmothers are called Guo Luo's mother! Hajran said darkly. Without waiting for Hajlan to think about it, the old lady hugged Hajlan with a smile on her face and asked Hajlan gently: "Do you want to eat milk beans and tofu?" "This is spoken in Manchu. Hajlan also replied in Manchu: "I often do it at home, but I haven't eaten at Guo Luo's mother's house." The old lady smiled and immediately asked people to go and serve the milk tofu, and after the milk tofu was served, the old lady personally fed this granddaughter, whom she liked when they first met. Today, Hajlan was cleaned up by Mama Geffhe, and I saw Hajlan wearing an auspicious lock made of gold around her neck, and a pair of delicate gold bracelets on her wrists, and a red cotton jacket lined her like a pleasing doll. Who doesn't like such an image! Hajran sneered.

The old lady asked the Nalan clan, "I heard you Ama say that Qi Shihua is going to leave for Chahar after the New Year?"

Nalan replied, "Yes, E-niang. ”

As he spoke, Nalan approached the old lady, snuggled up to the old lady, and said in a low voice: "Eniang, my daughter plans to go to Chahar with the whole family, and the master is forced to agree to her daughter's request. ”

The old lady listened to her daughter's words, lowered her head and did not speak. Nalan called out in a low voice. The old lady looked up at the Nalan clan and said, "Rong Rui, Chahar is a desolate place!" …… Hadjilan is just one year old, can she stand the long journey and adapt to the climate of Chahar? Can you ......" The old lady's words made the Nalan clan speechless, looking at such a daughter, the old lady sighed and said, "E-niang didn't stop you from going to Chahar. Do you think this will work, let Hajlan stay and be taken care of by Eniang? Nalan looked at the old lady, thought about it and nodded lowly.

Although Hadilan likes to listen to gossip when he has nothing to do, but this kind of conversation really makes Hadilan speechless and asks the sky, is she sad again?

"I won't stay! I can fit in! Hajran cried out in his heart.
