Chapter 544: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
On Chinese New Year's Eve, King Kang's Mansion looked very lively up and down.
At dusk, the family feast on Chinese New Year's Eve is about to begin. coaxed the two children to sleep, let the nurse watch from the side, and Li Xin and Yin Liuchen also went out of the house.
The sun went down and the sky was getting dark. The wind was blowing fiercely, but it didn't make it so cold. After the New Year, the sky will gradually warm up, and the wind will be so strong that the trees will gradually be blown green, and the flowers will be blown open. After a period of strong winds, spring is just around the corner.
Spring in Jiangnan came early, basically after the New Year, and soon it was spring. However, unlike in the north, the winter is too cold, and spring comes late.
By the time they got there, almost all the people who were supposed to have arrived had already arrived.
A group of people sat together, but it seemed to be happy. Rich and noble families, a large family at such a time, no matter whether they get along well on weekdays, they will still try their best to whitewash the peace.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you're here!" Yin Yuling said with a smile.
Li Xin sat next to Yin Yuling, and Yin Liuchen naturally sat next to Wang Ye and others.
Everyone arrived, and the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet began. This year, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he also changed the rules, and let the emperor's relatives celebrate the New Year at home during the New Year, and no longer hold any Chinese New Year's Eve banquets. It is indeed better for the family to sit together happily, and the banquet in the palace naturally shows grace, but after all, there is also a lack of a warm feeling at home!
That's good, at least everyone in the house can get together and have a good reunion dinner.
In previous years, if the palace had to hold a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet. A lot of people in Nafu have gone, and the rest of the people don't want to gather together.
Because it was the Chinese New Year, this dinner was very richly prepared. There are so many dishes, it's really dazzling to see. After eating, I listened to the play, and by the way, I kept the New Year.
"It's rare to see such excitement this year! The whole family sits in one place. Yin Yuling sighed. In previous years, I had to go to the palace, and there were so many people at the night banquet, but it was also very lively, but the feeling was always different. She naturally still hopes that the family will sit together for the New Year, how good it is!
Last year. didn't go to the palace either, but my brother went on the expedition, and he couldn't be considered complete after all. And how dangerous it is to go on a journey! is also worried about his brother's safety. Naturally, the year will not be happy.
"Yes! It feels natural to spend the New Year together as a family. Li Xin said with a smile. At this time, presumably Wenbo and they are also sitting together for the New Year!
There are a lot of people in the Ling family, and it is still very lively during the New Year. On weekdays, the people in the two rooms live their own lives. But they still get together during the Chinese New Year. This year is even more lively. The third uncle's family is also back! Speaking of which! This year's Ling family can be regarded as a real reunion.
On such a day, my grandmother didn't know how happy she was! Although in previous years, so many people gathered together, my grandmother seemed to be having a good time.
However, the only regret in my grandmother's heart is that my third uncle has not been around.
After all, it's flesh and blood! I haven't come home outside for so many years, where do I miss being a mother!
Now. Eventually, everything worked out.
The sound of firecrackers outside can be heard from time to time. And the sky has always had brilliant fireworks blooming, very beautiful.
Li Xin has never liked to listen to dramas, but others are attentive to listening to dramas and find it very interesting. But as soon as she heard the play, she dozed off a little. So she got up and went out for a walk, and everyone listened to the play quietly, but they didn't pay much attention to her.
Seeing her stand up, Yin Yuling also stood up and followed her out.
"Sister-in-law really doesn't like to listen to dramas!" Walking into the courtyard, Yin Yuling said with a smile.
"How do you know I don't like to listen to theater?" Li Xin sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard. There are a lot of plum blossoms in the garden, and it is a beautiful sight to behold at this time. The red plum is dazzling, and the white plum is as white as snowflakes, and when the petals are flying, it really looks like snow. The green plum blossom buds are green and shiny, like exquisite jade beads, and they also have a unique charm. The pink plum blossoms are pink and tender, light red and light white, as if the red is gradually being smeared, and the color is gradually fading.
"Brother Ziye told me! It happened a long time ago, and suddenly when it came to listening to the play, Ziye's brother said that his sister-in-law dozed off as soon as she heard the play, and she was not interested at all. Yin Yuling smiled, but the smile gradually faded.
Things are people, she used to get along so well with Brother Ziye, and she could always say a lot of things. At that time, she really felt that they would go on like that for the rest of their lives, and then live happily forever, envying the world.
But she didn't expect that after all, she still came to the point where she is today, and Brother Ziye is really no longer her former Brother Ziye. Her illusions have long been completely shattered.
But for Brother Ziye, she still can't let go, and after such a long time, she still can't let go.
After all, it's helpless.
I don't know what kind of woman Brother Ziye likes, or if he hasn't met anyone he likes.
"So my cousin said it!" Li Xin sighed, what did my cousin and Yuling get along with before, I really think that the two of them are very compatible! And they get along so well, they really envy others. I thought it was a fairy couple who envied the world, but after all, it was not as good as the world thought. "I really don't like to listen to dramas, and when I listen to it, I get sleepy after a while."
"I don't like to listen to it either, I listen to it too much, and I'm tired of hearing it for so many years. It is rare to see fresh scenes, so naturally I feel even more bored. Yin Yuling folded the plum blossoms and played.
There are no new tricks every year, that is, when I enter the palace, I either enjoy singing and dancing, or listen to operas.
The more people grow up, the more they find the New Year boring. Such simple and pure happiness seems to belong only to children, and when you grow up, it is difficult for you to be as happy as you were when you were a child.
"Since you don't like to listen to the show, let's watch the fireworks outside!"
"Good! I let people eat and we went outside to watch the fireworks. Yin Yuling said and ordered someone to fetch some melons and fruits and snacks, as well as bring a brazier. In the evening, the chill in the winter has not completely dissipated, and it is still a little cold. Especially if you don't do anything, sitting so well will make people feel cold.
"Since you brought a brazier, why don't you bring some sweet potatoes! It's also very good to eat it grilled. Li Xin said with a smile.
They all like to bake sweet potatoes, so in winter, when the weather is cold, they burn the brazier and eat sweet potatoes while roasting them, which is their favorite. It was really nice to sit around as a family, grilling and eating food while cooking over the fire.
"Okay!" Yin Yuling is also very much in favor. (To be continued......)
