279 Chinese New Year's Eve
In the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, the family affairs of Chi Mingzhen and Chi Minghuan have been settled, and Chi Linglong is happy.
However, when I think of it, Chi Mingwan, who has always had a big heart, has not yet decided on a family affair, and I think that the second lady Lin has always been greedy, and the second master Chi Zhongde is as stupid as a pig, and Chi Linglong is really worried about the second room and the family, and the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has been pitted.
Chi Linglong had been worried about this matter for a day, and when Qin Chenghei returned in the evening, he was also worried about telling him about it.
Chi Linglong was asking Qin Chengsi for help, because she wanted Qin Chengsi to send someone over to Chi Mingwan or the second lady to star.
The New Year is getting closer and closer, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, several ladies and concubines of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion are eligible to go to the palace for a banquet.
At that time, the young and promising Wang Sun Guizhou will be present, and Chi Linglong is really afraid that Chi Mingwan will have a whim, so he will gamble on the reputation of all the girls in the Hou Mansion and be ashamed.
Chi Linglong's practice of thinking crookedly about people, although it is a little immoral, but it is also because he was disgusted by the people in the second room before.
For the sake of status and power, the second lady Lin will definitely do anything.
Chi Mingwan was taught by the second lady and the old lady, and Chi Linglong really didn't have the slightest hope for the character of this second sister.
Qin Chengsi heard Chi Linglong's words, knowing her worries, and really let Mo Yi send two female guards over to stare at her.
In the middle of the month, the stewards of the various Zhuangzi in the Qin Wangfu began to report to the Qin Wangfu.
In the past, these things were all in charge of the second housekeeper of the Qin Palace, but this year, Qin Chenghei directly handed them over to Chi Linglong and asked her to try them.
Chi Linglong glared, but she also knew that these things would need her to do sooner or later.
Thus. After pouting a few times in disgust, he really took over the matter and began to check the accounts seriously.
Qin Chenghei said that what was delivered to her this year was only the account book of the Qin Wangfu in the Zhuangzi of the two state capitals, and she would pass the door next year as the housewife. All the commons of the Qin Palace. But it's all up to her.
Chi Linglong checked the account for several days, and it was not until two days before the beginning of the year that she stopped.
This year's New Year. Chi Linglong didn't know if she would be in King Qin's mansion when she was Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although I promised Qin Chengji last year that I would accompany him to keep vigil this year, it's just. Who would have thought that the family of the Marquis of Zhongyong would enter Beijing a year early.
Now though she has a heart at the time of the New Year. accompanied Qin Chenghei, but as a daughter preparing for marriage, she was unique enough to prepare for marriage in her future husband's mansion. If you don't go home for the New Year when your parents and elders are there, it's a bit unreasonable.
Chi Linglong thought about it. It is also very sad.
Simply, no matter how much she wrinkles her brows into Sichuan characters. The days should be lived or lived.
In the past, in the palace of King Qin, because there were no female dependents to manage the concubines, during the Chinese New Year, Qin Chenghei ate and drank with Mo Yi and others to keep vigil.
Most of the New Year's banquets they used were also prepared by the chefs of the Qin Palace.
It's just that the chef can work the dishes, and he can't worry about some trivial things.
This year, Chi Linglong decided to let the people of the Qin Palace's Mansion have a New Year, and she also got the shopping list for the New Year's Eve in the Qin Palace's Mansion from the hands of the Qin Palace's housekeeper in advance, and when the old lady was in charge, the shopping list for the New Year's in the Qin Palace, and the banquet process, began to get busy.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the palace sealed the pen, and then, the various annual gifts given to the Qin Wangfu were also continuously transported from the palace to the Qin Wangfu.
On the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, red pairs and blessing characters were posted everywhere in the palace of the Qin king, and elaborate lanterns were hung in advance on the corners of the eaves and the trees.
In the past few days, Ah Ren has been jumping up and down, leading a group of children from the Qin Wangfu to do sanitation everywhere.
In the kitchen, Jiang's mother, July and others were also busy frying all kinds of meatballs and meat boxes without touching the ground, and there was a lively scene everywhere.
Chi Linglong is only responsible for giving orders, however, because there is such a capable female lady in the mansion, the big housekeeper of the Qin Wangfu can't help but smile when he looks at this year's lively, especially the popular Qin Wangfu, and the small tune on his lips has not stopped.
Qin Chengsi stood at the door of Zhiyuanzhai, looking at Chi Linglong, who was wearing a fiery red fox fur and directing the girls in the courtyard to stick to the pair, his eyes were full of soft colors, and even the corners of his lips couldn't help but slowly upturn.
However, Qin Chengsi's good-looking face only lasted for a few days, and on the afternoon of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Chi Shengjin and Chi Zhongli, two uncles and nephews, came to King Qin's mansion again, and when they wanted to take Chi Linglong back to the house for the New Year, Qin Chengsi maintained a good face for more than a week, and finally became condensed and gloomy.
Chi Zhongli and Chi Shengjin's move was very reasonable, and even said that it was a matter of course for Chi Linglong to return to the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion for the New Year.
However, what is most suitable in the eyes of others, in Qin Chenghe's opinion, cannot be tolerated.
Chi Zhongli and Chi Shengjin were in the Qin Palace, and they couldn't stay for a cup of tea, and they were politely sent out by Mo Yi and the big housekeeper of the Qin Palace.
Chi Zhongli still wanted to fight for it, and when he saw Chi Linglong, he could look at King Qin, who was carrying his hands and his eyes cold and sharp, looking at them with five expressions, Chi Zhongli was also scalping, and he felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only take Chi Shengjin with him with a smile and go back to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Chi Linglong saw her sisters and aunts again, but it was at the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve.
The two classes met, and they didn't say hello for a long time, but.[,!] said that because Chi Linglong's identity was different this year, even much higher than everyone else, she was really in the limelight at the palace banquet.
Chi Linglong is a girl who is preparing to marry, and she should not have appeared in public, but unfortunately, before the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother personally sent someone to the Qin King's Mansion to pick her up into the palace.
This act alone made Chi Linglong a mascot, and after entering the palace, she attracted everyone's attention, and Yanran became a living luminous body; Not to mention, at the palace banquet, she was pulled by the kind Queen Mother to sit beside her and talk throughout the whole process.
The Queen Mother looked at the well-behaved girl sitting next to her, and she was also happy from the bottom of her heart.
She remembered the last time she saw Chi Linglong, or on the way back from the summer vacation in Xishan this year, in a blink of an eye. But I hadn't seen her for three months.
It's just that in the memory of the Queen Mother at that time, Chi Linglong was still a young girl.
After three months, this girl didn't know what good things she had eaten, and she pulled up a lot of her body without saying anything, and even her face was open.
Chi Linglong is not like that. Some little girls at the age of twelve or thirteen who are smoking strips like that. When you grow taller, your body becomes weaker and can't help it.
It was as if the girl had grown up at that age.
The figure is taller and the waist is more slender. The body curve is really well developed, and there is a small face, beautiful and vulgar, and the complexion is also good. It is tender and raw, as if it could pluck out water.
The Queen Mother sighed. The two health grandma she gave to Chi Linglong in October really did it well.
On the other hand, he couldn't stop being complacent - Chi Linglong was still the girl he had a crush on Qin Chenghe, look, this little girl is still alive and well. Healthy and healthy, so her old man is definitely not a crow's mouth.
Halfway through the feast. Chi Linglong suddenly felt June on her side, secretly pulling her clothes. It was as if there was something urgent to sue her.
Chi Linglong's mind moved, and she looked at the banquet below almost reflexively, and sure enough, Chi Mingwan disappeared.
Chi Linglong's heart was on fire, and her intuition told her that it must have been Chi Mingwan's move.
Just, do you want to leave the table now......
Chi Linglong still greeted the Queen Mother in the end, excused herself to go to the clean room, and retreated with a red face.
She hurriedly followed June and disappeared into the shadows, when she heard June muffle her voice and bite her ear.
Chi Linglong listened to what June told her, and she hated to bite Chi Mingwan to death.
Although she had long known that Chi Mingwan had a big heart, no matter how much she guessed, she didn't expect that Ji Mingwan would have a big heart and wanted to meet the prince by chance.
When Chi Linglong heard June say that she received ** incense on Chi Mingwan's body, her little face flushed in an instant.
Anyway, Chi Mingwan is her sister after all, if Chi Mingwan's reputation is a stinky bad street, all of them sisters will be ruined in her hands.
"Now August is looking at the second girl, and just now a message came from there, saying that they knocked the second girl unconscious before the second girl was about to meet the prince by chance and hid in the empty hall on the side. The girl doesn't need to go over now, and after a while, in August they will find a way to wake up the second girl so that no one else will find out about the problem."
It wasn't until the end of the palace banquet that Chi Linglong saw Chi Mingwan return to the main hall that night.
At that time, because the Queen Mother had gone back to Cining Palace to rest, Chi Linglong also sat back in the middle of the ladies of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion.
Seeing Chi Mingwan coming over with a pale face, Chi Linglong hated in her heart, but greeted Chi Mingwan with a smile on her face, "What did the second sister just do?" Why did it take so long to come back?"
sighed regretfully: "Just now, the Queen Mother praised the girls in our house for being handsome, and they all appreciated the palace flowers, and the younger sister saw that her sister was not there, so she took the initiative to pick an epiphany for the second sister."
When Ji Mingwan heard Chi Linglong ask her why she disappeared for so long, her body stiffened, and her face was even more hasty.
Although she is greedy for vanity, she usually regulates the sisters in the Hou Mansion, and she is also very capable of doing it.
However, in the past, the people who fought with her were just some little girls whose combat effectiveness was almost equal.
Ji Mingwan mixed again, no matter how bold she was, she also took a lot of risks tonight, and she gave herself a long time before she decided to make a move.
It's a pity that she fainted inexplicably, and Ji Mingwan still doesn't know what happened to her.
This night's palace banquet ended in Chi Linglong's depression and depression, and in Chi Mingwan's panic.
Out of the palace gate, Zhou, like a routine, asked Chi Linglong, do you want to go back to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion or the Qin Palace?
Chi Linglong looked at Qin Chenghe, who was surrounded by ministers and walking towards the palace gate, lowered her head slightly, and replied very timidly: "Back to Mother, King Qin said,...... Said let my daughter return to the Qin Palace's mansion today."
Zhou nodded, with a look of joy or sadness on his face, completely indifferent.
She agreed with Chi Linglong's words, and originally wanted to teach Chi Linglong a few more words, asking her to "keep her duty" or something like that, when she saw King Qin, who was wearing a purple royal robe, squinting his eyes slightly, looking in her direction. I was also so frightened that I couldn't say anything.
Chi Linglong couldn't resist Qin Chengji in the end, and Chinese New Year's Eve was still spent in the Qin King's Mansion.
In this regard, although Qin Chengsi did not express obvious joy, out of the palace gate, the two of them sat on Qin Chenghe's royal chase, on the way back to the Qin Palace. Qin Chengsi was enthusiastic. Like a large fluffy loyal dog, he couldn't wait to lick Chi Linglong's body up and down, which really made Chi Linglong cry and laugh
[,! ]
However. After returning to the Qin Palace, Chi Linglong's mind moved, and she was not at ease. After asking for Qin Chenghe's approval, he was ready to go to Leng Yueyue.
Chi Linglong did not forget jì.Last year, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Sun Liuli copied Buddhist scriptures in the cold Buddhist hall all night.
Chi Linglong was going to Lengyue Garden, and Qin Chengsi naturally knew what she was going to do. After muttering for a moment, he also personally accompanied her and walked to Leng Yue Yuan.
Cold Moon Garden. There is a bleak scene everywhere, and there is no bustle and bustle during the New Year's holiday.
Fireworks in the sky are constantly exploding. Listening to the high-pitched men's applause from the big kitchen of the Qin Palace, the shouting and laughter of the sergeants, Chi Linglong sniffed the faint and cold plum fragrance in the Cold Moon Garden, looking at this bleak night scene, and suddenly felt a feeling of suffocation.
opened the courtyard door, and personally accompanied Chi Linglong to the outside of the Buddhist hall, Qianjiao and Baimei cautiously glanced at Qin Chenghei, who had a cold face, and said to Chi Linglong: "The girl and the young master are copying Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and they went in after lunch today, and they haven't come out yet."
Seeing that Chi Linglong's frowning action was even more obvious, Qianjiao also gritted her teeth and said to Chi Linglong: "Linglong girl, the slave maid implores you to help the slave and maid persuade the girl and the son after you go in for a while. The girl and the son are still useless for dinner, and there is no brazier in the Buddhist hall, and the child's health has never been good......"
When Chi Linglong pushed open the door of the Buddha hall and entered, he was greeted by a cold and desolate smell and a faint fragrance of Buddha.
The cold in the Buddhist hall seemed to be filled with ice cubes, and after Chi Linglong stepped in, she couldn't help but shudder.
Thinking of this cold day, Sun Liuli and Sun Wuji, the two brothers and sisters, didn't even have dinner, didn't add braziers, and stayed in this Buddhist hall for six or seven hours, and Chi Linglong's footsteps seemed to be heavy and couldn't take a step.
Three hundred and eighty-seven lives, all of them were hanged on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the people who did it against the Sun family should have such an unforgettable hatred for them.
"Delicate girl is here?"
Sun Liuli's dry and hoarse voice came from the inner room.
The voice was very dry, as if she had cried for a long time and made her voice hoarse.
Chi Linglong let out an "um" and raised her legs and walked towards the inner room.
Walking to the floor cover, Chi Linglong saw that in the brightly lit small Buddha hall, the furnishings were almost exactly the same as the previous year.
The only difference is that in front of the black tablet, there is one more one, and there is one more Sun Wou-Ki who is dressed in a white robe and has a face like an immortal.
At this time, he also stopped writing, and like Sun Liuli, he looked at her with a slight smile on his face.
"Little girl, come here." Sun Liuli beckoned to Chi Linglong and let her pass.
While staggering to get up, Sun Liuli took a stick of incense from the Buddhist shrine and handed it to Chi Linglong, "Go and give incense to your grandparents and the ancestors of the Sun family."
Chi Linglong respectfully put on the incense, and as on the first day of the new year, she knelt on the futon on the ground and kowtowed three times before standing up.
She was still about to open her mouth to say evil, but she opened her mouth a few times, but she didn't say it, but at this time, Sun Wuji's irrepressible cough came from the inner room.
"Cousin is caught with a cold?"
Chi Linglong didn't care about anything else now, but she directly untied the fox fur on her body and wanted to put it on Sun Wuji.
Sun Wuji coughed violently while covering his snow-white handkerchief, and at the same time raised his hand, asking Chi Linglong to quickly drape the fox fur on himself.
Sun Wuji coughed for a long time, and the cough was heartbreaking, as if the entire Buddhist hall had begun to shake.
Chi Linglong was completely stupefied.
She had heard Qianjiao say that "Childe is not well", and she only thought that Sun Wuji was infected with the cold, but seeing his violent cough, he seemed to have tuberculosis, and he couldn't breathe.
Sun Liuli's face changed greatly, she knelt beside Sun Wuji and patted him on the back to give her relief, and when Chi Linglong saw this scene, she also hurriedly walked over.
"Sister, this Buddha hall is too cold, my cousin's body can't stand it, let's help him out first."
Seeing Sun Wuji waving his hand to excuse himself, Chi Linglong's eyes immediately turned red. He shouted, "Is it not as important that the living are as important as the dead?" My cousin's body is so uncomfortable, I still have to be strong, I don't eat or drink in the Buddhist hall to copy Buddhist scriptures, I think if it is my maternal grandparents and the ancestor of the grandson family, knowing that my cousin is so filial, I will come out at night to praise you."
Sun Liuli, who was still full of sorrow. Listening to Chi Linglong's words. I couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but in the end I couldn't help it.
However, there is no trace to look at. He covered the handkerchief at the corner of his mouth again, received the eldest brother in the sleeve cage, and once again caught a glimpse of the bewitching red on it like a falling plum, Sun Liuli's throat choked. I almost want to cry out regardless of it.
Sun Liuli's throat rolled up and down a few times, and finally she couldn't hold back the emotion that was about to collapse.
In front of the floor cover in the inner room of the Buddhist hall, Qin Chengsi walked over from the outside at this time.
He didn't follow Chi Linglong into the Buddha hall before. I think I listened to the movement in the Buddha hall and finally walked in.
Qin Chengsi personally carried Sun Wuji out of the Buddhist hall, and Qianjiao and Baimei, who were waiting outside. I immediately greeted him.
"You two go boil some hot water and make some hot food. June and July will hurry up and help."
Chi Linglong finished ordering. A few girls also went their own way.
But after a while, Qianjiao came over and said, "The medicinal bath prepared for Childe is ready."
[,! When Chi Linglong heard this, the first thought that came to his mind at that time was: such a quick hand and foot, or a prepared medicinal bath, how can there be a taste of practice makes perfect in it. It's not that Sun Wouji's illness is not actually a recent one, but ...... It's been there for a long time?
This night, Chi Linglong was held by Qin Chenghei, and when she went back to Zhiyuanzhai, she was confused all the way.
It wasn't until Qin Chengsi stripped off his clothes and hugged him into the hot spring bath that Chi Linglong came back to his senses.
"Is Sun Wou-Ki sick, is he sick?" Chi Linglong was anxious, grabbed Qin Chenghe's shoulders with both hands, and asked him with a flamboyant look.
She originally didn't have hope that she could get an answer from Qin Chengsi's mouth, but she was holding back too many words in her heart and needed to vent urgently, so she chose to open her mouth to Qin Chengsi, but she didn't expect that Qin Chengsi would reply to her unhurriedly.
"Hmm."
"Hmm" means to agree, doesn't that mean that Sun Wuji has been suffering from it for a long time.
And she, she didn't even know about it after more than a year of disengagement with them.
Chi Linglong's heart was full of mixed feelings, for a while, sadness, frustration, self-blame, distress and other feelings were all in her heart, and she didn't know what to do when she was tormented.
Qin Chengsi also said again at this time; "Earlier, when he fled, his body was ruined. I don't want you to know, I just don't want you to worry."
Seeing Chi Linglong's crying little face, the eyes that were the only one he used to save were now wet and full of mist, Qin Chengji just talked about Sun Wuji, and the kind of slightly suffocating and admiring feelings all disappeared in an instant, and turned into a thick jealousy and disgust.
Chi Linglong can only be his.
After a lot of messing in the bathroom, Chi Linglong didn't get more from Qin Chenghe's mouth in the end, and the news about Sun Liuli couldn't help but feel that her cousin was too incompetent.
Although Sun Wuji has been suffering from her for a long time, he deliberately hid it from her, so she didn't know it, but why didn't she know about it?
If she could care more about the bodies of Sun Wouji's two siblings, and pay more attention to the movements in the Cold Moon Garden on weekdays, she would not have thought about it, and after befriending their brothers and sisters for more than a year, she would know that Sun Wouji was a sick man whose body had already been hollowed out.
The more Chi Linglong thought about Sun Wuji's heart-rending cough before, the more sad she became.
She replaced "Chi Linglong" and became the cousin of their two siblings, she enjoyed the love and protection they gave, but failed to fulfill the obligations of a cousin, in the end, she was sorry for them, and she was not good enough.
After the vigil, Chi Linglong was drowsy and let Qin Chengsi hold her in his arms.
This night, even if she fell asleep, Chi Linglong's brows were furrowed tightly.
Earlier, because of Chi Mingwan's matter, she had never been so worried, but what about Sun Wuji......
Thinking of Sun Wuji's wisdom and close to demons, and his cruel methods, Qin Chengsi couldn't help but get up in his mind while soothing Chi Linglong's frowning brows.
Fortunately, the man was a friend, not an enemy...... (To be continued)
