It didn't take long for them to arrive at Songhe Hall, and seeing Haitang and others waiting to freshen up, Li Xin and the others were about to quit.

The old lady said that Ling Feifei stayed here today, and it was not too early, so she should not rush back. It wasn't the first time that Ling Feifei had stayed here in Songhetang, so she used it.

Old Madam Ling sent someone out to sue Aunt Zhang. The maids beside Ling Feifei waited for Ling Feifei to freshen up, and Ling Ziye and Li Xin's sisters and brothers withdrew first.

Even though it was already such a season, it was still very warm with the sun shining during the day. However, it is still a little cold in the middle of the night.

Spring is about to begin, and the wind is very strong, "whirring ......" blowing, as if there is a monster howling in the dark night. There is always a cold wind sweeping in, and he is really a little tired, Li Xin gathered his clothes.

"Are you still happy to spend the New Year here?" Ling Ziye rubbed Wen Hao's head and asked with a smile.

"It's happy, so many people are very lively together." Wen Hao replied obediently.

"It's good to be happy, it's rare to come here, this time it's time to stay longer! I'll also take you to have a good time in the capital. ”

"Good! All right! ”

"It's okay! At most, you will live until the Lantern Festival, and you still have to go back to school! It's a little late to start after the Lantern Festival, but it's rare to come once, so I let you go through the Lantern Festival Lantern Market and then go. Li Xin glared at Wen Hao.

"There are many days to the Lantern Festival, and you can walk around the capital. Xin Yao, do you want to go out for a walk too? As he spoke, Ling Ziye looked at Li Xin.

"It's not convenient for me to go out, so forget it! If my cousin is idle, take Wenbo and Wenhao out for a walk and see the world! Li Xin declined. It is not very convenient for a woman to go out, that is, she can be quite free in the Lantern Festival Lantern Market, and usually, she is really not suitable for casual shopping.

Even if she felt that it was nothing, I was afraid that Old Madam Ling would not agree.

She might as well stay in the yard and see if she can go to Mr. Yu and let him guide some moon incense. Tsukika really wants to learn the craft from Mr. Yu!

"Do you want me to send you back?"

"It's just such a short journey, no need, it's late, cousin should go back and rest early!"

After saying goodbye to Ling Ziye, Li Xin took his younger brothers and sisters back to Caixia Pavilion. The night was indeed very deep, and it had already been three days old, but fortunately, there were still people guarding the courtyard. Seeing that Li Xin and the others were back, someone hurriedly brought hot water and gave them a brief freshening up.

After a good wash, everyone went to sleep.

You don't have to do anything when you get up, you don't have to get up early, but you can get a good night's sleep.

By the time Li Xin came on the new year, the sky had already brightened, and the sun had risen a little high. Getting up and dressing, she went out. Caiyun and Caixia hurriedly came to serve her to freshen up.

Seeing that Caixia was still there, Li Xin asked strangely, "Caixia, why are you still here now?" Didn't you go home early to reunite with your brother? ”

"It's still early! There is no rush at this time. I'm just going back, and my brother won't be idle! Caixia smiled wryly. She and her brother are both people who serve their masters, where can there be any freedom! Miss is good to herself, and she will give herself a vacation, and there are many times when she is free, but my brother can't be too free.

The New Year's holidays have always been the business of the masters. What the servants should do is not what they have to do, but they still have to serve their masters well.

At most, the masters of the New Year and the festival are happy, and they will give some rewards, so that the servants can follow and be happy.

"Anyway, you should have gone back sooner, if your brother was free! Isn't it okay to have a good reunion. It's about to be delayed, just have colorful clouds waiting here, so you can quickly change into bright clothes and go back! Li Xin pushed Caixia. Pack up all the food and stuff and go back, and the two of you brothers and sisters will be lively. ”

"These ladies said it last night, slave maid remember! Caixia has already cleaned up, and the food and fabrics have been cleaned up, so don't worry about it. Caiyun said while combing Li Xin's hair.

"In that case, Caixia, go back quickly! It's okay to stay at home for one day and come back tomorrow. ”

"Then the slave will go back first."

"By the way, when you go, ask your brother for me if he would like to follow me, and if he is willing, I will go and talk to the old lady and ask your brother to follow me. In this way, it will be easy for your brother and sister to meet in the future, and if he doesn't want to, it's nothing, anyway, I won't embarrass you because of this. After Li Xin finished speaking, he smiled and waved his hand.

She was thinking about Caiyun and Caixia's family before, but the two families have been serving in the Ling family for a long time, and they can be regarded as having some face in the Ling family. She also thought that these people might not be willing to follow her.

Therefore, it is still necessary to ask Caiyun and Caixia to ask for the opinions of the family when they go back, and if they are willing, she will also talk to Old Madam Ling. If you don't want to, you won't mention such a thing anymore.

"Thank you, Miss, for your grace." Caixia suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Xin twice, but Li Xin didn't have time to stand up to stop him. It was mainly Caiyun who combed her hair, and she pulled her hair just as she was about to move, so she hurriedly sat down again.

"What are you doing! Hurry up! You just really thank me, so you don't have to look like this! We'll talk about that later! Go back first! Your brother must be willing. ”

"The slave maid will go back and ask her brother, and if my brother is willing, I will ask the young lady for help."

"Okay, I know, let's go back!"

Caixia hurriedly went down. When Li Xin put on makeup and went out of the house, Wenbo and the others had already gotten up and freshened up, and were sitting in the hall!

Li Xin asked Caiyun to order a little bit of the people who were waiting in the courtyard, and if they wanted to go home, they would be divided into two days, some people would go back today, and some people would go back tomorrow. On a good day for the New Year, the servants should also rest and reunite with their families.

Some family members are nearby, but they want to go back, so Li Xin also rewarded some things and let those who want to go back go back. The reward was already given last night, and there were all the people who were waiting in the courtyard.

Rewarding money and things during the New Year is also Li Xin's habit. This is the case in the Zhuangzi at home, where there are rewards and some items to be rewarded during the New Year and on older festivals. It's all clothes and stuff, and it's all practical anyway.

There is not much money in the end, but the person who receives it will be happy, so why not do such a thing!

For those who didn't go back, Li Xin also took some silver money and asked the people who served in the big kitchen to send some snacks and fruits over there, so that everyone could eat and talk together.

After breakfast, Li Xin took his younger brothers and sisters to Songhetang. On such a good day as the New Year, everyone is really happy, even if they meet a servant on the road, they are all happy. When passing by the garden, Li Xin took a few glances at the garden.

The south is different from the north, and although the winters are a bit cold, the south is already very warm compared to the north. Therefore, even in winter, the southern garden will not be too depressed. Even in winter, there are still lush flowers and trees blooming.

At this time, the garden is also a bit of a sight, a few red double-petaled hibiscus grow very well, the branches and leaves are lush, and the flowers are also blooming well. The bright red flowers are really red and delightful, and the festive color is really like the best red satin. There are also a few plum blossoms that bloom well, with different colors, but each with its own style.

Seeing Li Xin looking at the garden, Wen Hao smiled and asked, "Does the eldest sister want to visit the garden?" ”

"No, it's just a look, this garden is really well maintained, Fusang and plum blossoms are blooming well, in a few days! There will be more flowers, and it will be very beautiful at that time. Li Xin smiled and walked to a red plum tree. Stretched out his hand and broke off a few red plums that bloomed just right, and the red and gorgeous plum blossoms were also extremely festive.

Although there is no snow and the red plum is a little less windy, it is still very beautiful.

"Isn't the eldest sister envious of other people's gardens?" Wenbo also laughed.

"No, it won't! Our garden is also very good! Where to envy other people's homes. If there is no eldest sister in the family who likes it, you can plant it. Wen Hao said a little strangely.

"What nonsense! I'm just saying it casually, where is the envy of this garden. Fold a few plum blossoms in the past, the old lady likes red plum blossoms in a vase, she should like it. Li Xin folded the plum blossoms, and walked forward, and Wenbo hurriedly followed.

When Li Xin and a few people entered the upper room of Songhe Hall, there were already a lot of people in the house, the eldest lady and the second lady were also there, and then there were the young ladies of the two mansions, but the aunt or something was not there.

But this is also a lot of people together.

"Grandmother is good." Li Xin took Wenbo and a few people to ask for peace. After that, he saluted the eldest lady and the second lady, "The eldest aunt, the second aunt and sisters have already come, but I am late." ”

"It's not too late, it's not too late, it's good to come." The old lady laughed, not caring at all. Li Xin handed over the folded red plum blossoms to Begonia, and Begonia asked the little maid to replace the red plum blossoms that were not blooming well in the vase and replaced them with the plum blossoms brought by Li Xin.

Everyone sat in one place and talked, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, even the eldest lady and the second lady didn't have much to do. New Year's greetings have the lord and sons in the family! The old lady's room was very warm, and sandalwood was burning, and the warm aroma was steaming everywhere. In fact, the simple smell of sandalwood is not very good, but the old lady likes to worship the Buddha on weekdays, and she likes to burn sandalwood in the house, and everyone will not say much. R1152
