Chapter 164: Chinese New Year's Eve (2)

After entering the flower hall, most of the people of the Ling family had already arrived. A screen was placed in the middle of the flower hall to separate the flower hall.

There are still a lot of rules in the Ling family, such as when eating, men and women generally sit separately, and a screen is usually placed in the center.

The shelf of the palmetto wood is inlaid with landscape silk paintings, and the white juan is embroidered with various landscape patterns, which is very exquisite. The distant mountains and trees, the flowers and trees and the figures are all integrated and lifelike. The Ling family is really wealthy, even if it is such an ordinary screen, it is very exquisite and valuable.

The ladies of the Wang family and the Ling family's big house have arrived, and on the man's side, Ling Yifan, Ling Ziye, and Ling Zihua have already arrived.

"Xin Yao is here too!" Seeing Li Xin come in, Wang warmly took Li Xin's hand. She is still very grateful to Xin Yao for giving up the Li family's family affairs to Xixi, and she feels a little guilty about this niece. She also thought that she would be kind to this niece in the future, and if she could, she would also find a good family for this niece.

"My aunt and sisters are here! But I'm in a relationship. Li Xin smiled and stretched out his hand back without a trace. She always disliked Wang's enthusiasm, after all, at the beginning, Wang was not so enthusiastic about her! Now it's suddenly so enthusiastic, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

If Old Madam Ling is like this, she doesn't think anything about it, after all, she and Old Madam Ling get along very well, and if she is like this, she doesn't have any deep feelings with the Wang family, that is, the love on the surface. Moreover, on weekdays, she doesn't have much contact with the Wang family.

"It's not too late, the old lady and your second aunt haven't come over yet! Sit down first! ”

Li Xin also found his place and sat down, and then talked with several sisters of the Ling family. Several sisters of the Ling family, Ling Keke's personality is more cheerful, she likes to talk and laugh, but she is very good at enlivening the atmosphere. Ling Feifei used to be a little timid, but now she is gradually getting better, and she will laugh with her sisters.

Ling Xixi may be because she is older, she is more stable, and she is more reserved and soft. Since Ling Xixi got married, the Wang family has taught Ling Xixi even more strictly, so that Ling Xixi can be the perfect housewife of the Li family in the future. Since the marriage, Ling Xixi has hardly gone to the school.

These days, Li Xin doesn't often see Ling Xixi, after all, they are all busy with their own things.

And the second lady Ling Keke is a relatively silent girl, and she doesn't take the initiative to talk to others on weekdays, but when others talk to her, she will still respond. Although Ling Keke is not very lively, he is very serious about learning things, and in the school, Mr. will often praise Ling Keke.

In fact, several young ladies of the Ling family still have their own characteristics.

After a while, someone outside reported that Old Madam Ling was coming, and everyone quickly stood up, and Wang led everyone out. On the other side of the screen, Ling Yifan also stood up with the Ling Ziye brothers. When everyone arrived at the door of the flower hall, they saw Old Madam Ling and the three people in the second room coming together.

It seems that Second Lady Ling took a pair of children to Songhe Hall to meet Old Lady Ling, and then came over together.

"Mother is here!" Wang hurriedly walked over, and Haitang, who was holding Old Madam Ling, quickly gave way to her position, and Wang helped Old Madam Ling. On the other side, the second lady helped the old lady, and the two of them helped the old lady Ling into the flower hall. Ling Yifan also took his two sons to greet the old lady.

"Don't be so polite, sit down!" Mrs. Ling Lao smiled. Seeing the children around us, the atmosphere was really good. It would be better if the second and third sons could also come back for the New Year together. The second daughter-in-law told her twice that she wanted her second son to be transferred back to the capital, but this is not a simple matter, and she has to think about it in the long run.

It would be really good if the second son could be transferred back to the capital, at least, it would be easy to see the second son on weekdays. Now like this, I haven't seen each other for a year.

The eldest lady and the second lady helped the old lady to sit down, and everyone sat down. Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, it is rare to be a good day, even a few aunts, the old lady specially let them sit down well, no need to wait.

When everyone sat down, the Wang family beckoned the servants to serve the food, and the Ling family's Chinese New Year's Eve meal was very richly prepared, as long as there were ingredients that could be seen and thought of, almost all of them were already available. The big round table is full of all kinds of dishes, beautiful in color and luster, fragrant and fragrant, and it makes people have an appetite when they look at it.

"It's the end of the year again, and it's past tonight! The old year is over, but the new year is coming. In the new year, there will be a new beginning, and everyone should be happy. Old Madam Ling said with a smile. When I'm older, what I want to see most is that the people in my family are living happily, and I don't ask for much else.

"Mother said well, the new year is indeed a new happiness, and the family should be happy." Wang smiled and agreed.

"Okay, I'll just say it, at this time, I'm afraid I'm hungry, let's start eating!" Old Madam Ling picked up the chopsticks and ate a chopstick dish first. Everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

When the meal began, no one spoke at the table, and the atmosphere seemed very quiet. Even the sound of chewing is very soft, and there will be no indecent sound. Li Xin also ate quietly, and Caixia stood behind her to distribute vegetables to her, the table was too big, so many dishes, if she sat well, she could get the dishes next to each other.

If you want to eat other dishes, you will definitely have to make an inelegant gesture, so it is better to have someone to help you with the dishes.

Old Madam Ling ate very slowly, and almost saw that everyone was full, so she put down her chopsticks. If Old Madam Ling put down her chopsticks, others would naturally have a bad time continuing to eat. Therefore, Old Madam Ling would eat very slowly on such occasions, and she would stop when everyone was almost full.

Seeing that Old Madam Ling put down the chopsticks, everyone followed suit. A servant came in one after another, and first took away all the cups, plates, and bowls, and then someone came up with tea. Everyone took the tea first, rinsed their mouths, and the maid brought the tea again, this time for drinking.

"Grandmother, the drama outside has already started, why don't we go and listen to the play!" After sitting for a while, Ling Qianqian couldn't wait to go out to listen to the play. The opera outside has been singing for a while, and it is not far away from here, and you can clearly hear the sound of singing when you sit in the flower hall.

However, listening to it like this, it naturally doesn't feel as good as sitting on the sidelines and listening. The more I can hear it like this, the more I don't feel like it's enjoyable, and I want to listen to it even more.

"You girl! It's not that I haven't heard the play, so I can't wait for a while. Wang smiled and poked Ling Qianqian's forehead, but the thick doting in his eyes was not harsh at all.

"Well, children like to listen to plays, it's in their nature, it's nothing. In that case, let's go first! Old Madam Ling smiled.

"Grandmother is the best." Ling Qianqian smiled and went to help the old lady.

"What a child! Let's go! Old Madam Ling stood up, and Wang hurriedly went to help the old lady, so she and Ling Qianqian helped the old lady to go out. Everyone also hurriedly followed, and soon, they also arrived at the stage.

Many servants were gathered around the side of the stage, and when they saw that the masters were coming, they hurriedly got out of the way. Sheds were set up in the best places to watch the play, and those were prepared for the masters. And they all went into the shed, and there was a charcoal basin burning in it, but it looked warm.

Everyone sat down, and the servants hurriedly served hot tea and all kinds of snacks and fruits, and everyone listened to the play.

"Old lady, let's order the play first!" The play book was sent in from outside, and Wang took it and handed it to the old lady first.

Old Madam Ling took it, opened it and looked at it, then ordered two plays, and then handed over the play book to the Wang family, and asked the Wang family to order two plays as well. Everyone took turns to order the play, and then watched the play quietly. Caiyun saw Li Xin and the others coming, so he quietly followed Li Xin into the shed, and was already waiting behind Li Xin at this time.

The play is very lively, but Li Xin doesn't watch it much, and he looks at it and looks a little drowsy. People always like to doze off when they are bored, especially at night.

"Cousin, cousin." Ling Feifei quietly pulled Li Xin's sleeve and shouted in a low voice. Such a lively scene, but I didn't expect my cousin to be dozing off all the time!

was pulled by Ling Feifei's sleeves, Li Xin suddenly woke up, rubbed his eyes, and then he was more sober. I almost fell asleep! Caixia hurriedly handed over a cup of hot tea, and she took it and took a sip.

"Does my cousin think it's not good-looking?" Ling Feifei asked Li Xin in a low voice. She thinks it's beautiful! I don't know why my cousin doesn't like it.

"It's not pretty." Li Xin smiled.

"Isn't my cousin sleepy? Hold on a little longer! After the third watch, it's almost time to rest. Ling Feifei said with a smile. Chinese New Year's Eve is a vigil, but generally there is no need to keep it until dawn, and after three changes, it will be considered the new year.

If you have to keep watch until dawn, the old man and the child will still be a little unable to persevere, and if the vigil makes people sick, it will not be good.

"I know." Li Xin replied with a smile. In my previous life, I felt that it was normal to stay up until the early hours of the morning, and it seemed that it was almost the early hours of the morning. I didn't expect that now, I can't stay up in the early morning! R1152
