Chapter 50 Keeping the New Year Increases the Year
The second day is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The heavy and lengthy ritual lasts from morning to dinner. Lanterns were hung under the porch at the entrance of Minghui Hall, and more than a dozen bright lamps were lit in the hall, as if it were daytime.
Xu sat in the first position, and the four daughters-in-law led the children of each family to sit in turn. A flowing feast was put on the table. It wasn't until Ye Xun sent Mingzi over to tell him that there had been a banquet in the SΓΉ clan that he could start the chopsticks here.
Ye Yinyin saw Ye Zhenzhen pick up the white jade wine cup again, and hurriedly pulled her sleeve from under the table.
The drunken appearance yesterday made her shiver again.
Ye Zhenzhen winked at her. Glancing at his grandmother, who was eating, he stretched out three fingers and shook them.
She glared.
It became two more.
She still shook her head.
Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to slump her shoulders and withdraw another finger.
Ye Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief. Tonight is the New Year's Eve to be observed. In the middle of the night, I also want to greet the elders in the family.
Where Ye Yinyin didn't see, a sly smile swept over the girl's Ruyu face. This is pepper wine! They are only allowed to drink once a year, and they don't drink enough at a time?!
Taking advantage of the gap that the big guys didn't notice, the three cups of jade fat agar had already been eaten.
When Xu was teasing Xuan'er, he glanced at Ye Zhenzhen.
The girl was already dizzy, a pair of beautiful apricot eyes were rippling, misty and dizzy, and there was a coquettish smile on her face.
Xu frowned.
Yesterday, those two little girls made trouble in the Furong courtyard for half a night, and they dare to drink it today?
Ye Zhenzhen noticed Xu's eyes, stretched out a white and slender finger with a small face, and said softly and glutinously, "I only drank one cup." β
Before everyone could react, Xuan'er also raised her voice and shouted, "I want to drink too, I want to have a drink too..."
Ye Zhenzhen squinted her eyes and smiled.
Xuan'er smashed her small mouth, and she looked like a greedy cat to amuse everyone. Ye Xuan pulled Xu's sleeve, "Grandmother ~ Xuan'er also wants to have a drink!"
Xu nodded his little nose.
"It's the Chinese New Year, so I won't limit you, drink whatever you want."
Ye Zhenzhen just wanted to say goodbye, and Xu glared at her.
"Don't even think about it! I haven't settled accounts with you about last night!"
Ye Zhenzhen...
was reprimanded by his grandmother, so he had to put down the wine cup, but he still stuck out his tongue mischievously.
β¦
Full of wine and food, Ye Yinyin took Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Feifei, Ye Xuan, Ye Yi, and Ye An to play in the ear room on the left side. It's actually a small warm pavilion. There was a large couch covered with warm jade. It's perfect for small children to play and frolic.
Ye Xuan was a little older, and the three were all little dolls who had not been weaned, and the nurse put them on the couch and started the crawling competition.
Xu ordered people to put some puppet objects on it a long time ago, and each grabbed what they liked to play.
Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Yinyin nested in a corner, muttering and talking.
"Little aunt~ Tonight's pepper wine is really delicious! Hey, it's a pity that I can only drink it once a year and I can't drink enough!"
The girl's face was full of unfinished regrets and small complaints.
Ye Yinyin poked her gently.
"Do you still dare to drink? Last night you... Hmm,"
"Shhhhh
Ye Zhenzhen loosened the "devil's claw" on Yin Yin's lips and looked outside.
"Mother is just about to take a posture of inquiry, and if she finds out that I was last night..., she will definitely be annoyed! Auntie, you have to keep it a secret! Not even grandmother!"
Ye Yinyin is angry and funny.
looked at the pair of dark and somewhat dizzy apricot eyes and nodded.
"Hey, I have a headache at the thought of getting up early tomorrow morning to greet the clan, and I have an even more headache at the thought of seeing Ye Susu!"
She rubbed her temples and muttered as she pouted.
Ye Yinyin...
You've drunk too much, right?!
These juniors only need to keep the old age, and they can rest in the future. In fact, none of them really stayed up that late, and they could rest when they were tired.
However, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, you must go to the ancestral hall of the clan at the beginning of the year to bow three times and bow nine times. It was a sweet time to sleep. It's really a lot of torture for a child.
As for that Ye Susu, who is the granddaughter of another patriarch of the Ye family, the two have always been at odds and don't like each other.
Ye Yinyin gently pinned a strand of green silk on her cheek behind her ear, "I have already asked Xiao Nian to cook chrysanthemum tea, you can drink some in a while, and then go to sleep quickly, and you won't be so sleepy tomorrow morning." That Su Su is also your clan sister, so don't be as careful as her. You're going to get married in two years, so you don't have to see her..."
Ye Zhenzhen closed her eyes in a daze, she didn't hear what Ye Yinyin said in front of her, but the last two sentences...
A teasing smile rose on his face.
"That's right! The big day of the New Year is coming! Hehe, isn't my 'brother-in-law' coming in the second year of junior high school?"
Ye Yinyin was embarrassed when she heard it.
I comforted her here, but she still joked!
The subordinate slapped her weakly, glaring at her.
Ye Zhenzhen leaned on her body and smiled.
"Little aunt, time flies so fast, there are two months left before you get married. Speaking of which, this is the last time we'll be together for the New Year!"
The originally soft and glutinous voice added a little choking at the end of the word.
Ye Yinyin's hand that she wanted to push away also stroked her green silk.
Her heart turned a thousand times, but she replied with a smile.
"Does Zhen Zhen hate to marry? Otherwise, send someone to inform the eldest prince Yang to marry you back in advance?"
Ye Zhenzhen...
The embarrassed two tickled each other, and they became crazy and giggled.
The other four small ones on the couch are watching with relish!
They all giggled.
β¦
The Xu family in the hall heard it, and their hearts were even happier.
Happy New Year!
