On Chinese New Year's Eve, there is a saying of keeping the year, after the reunion dinner, everyone sits together to chat, talk about their hearts, and wait for the arrival of the new year.

However, Aunt Wu was pregnant, the old lady was weak, and she couldn't stay up for so long in the cold night, so she asked Shen Qingwan and the others to go back separately after the meal, and when the New Year's change sounded, they would come to Songshoutang to have dinner together.

After a busy day during the day, Shen Qing returned to Wuyuan in the evening, and soon fell asleep, half an hour before the arrival of the New Year, he was woken up by Mu Tao, after bathing and freshening up, the New Year's sound rang, Mu Tao, Xunhan and others went to the courtyard and rewarded them with red envelopes.

Shen Yimeng's clothes and jewelry were almost sold by the old lady, and there was not much usable silver in her hand, and the purses given to the subordinates were all deflated, not much weight, and the subordinates didn't say anything on the surface, but their eyes were obviously mocking and disdainful.

When Shen Qing came to Songshoutang in the evening, Shen Yimeng was standing at the gate of the courtyard with his eyes blank, his beautiful eyes flashed with sorrow and grievance, and he kept looking ahead.

"Sister, you're here, everyone has arrived, just waiting for you." Shen Yimeng greeted him affectionately, stretched out his hand to hold Shen Qingwan's arm, but was pushed aside by Shen Qingwan without a trace: "Third sister, there is snow on the ground, be careful of slipping and falling......"

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, Shen Yimeng is so enthusiastic about himself, he is definitely not at ease, he is still careful.

Shen Yimeng was annoyed in his heart, but he smiled happily, and walked into Songshoutang side by side with Shen Qingwan: "Thank you sister for your concern, my sister's hairpin is so beautiful......"

Shen Qingwan glanced at Shen Yimeng's makeup and smiled slightly: "The third sister's hairpin is also very beautiful......"

"Since my sister likes my hairpin, I like my sister's hairpin, how about we wear it for a day?" Shen Yimeng's clear eyes sparkled, and the bottom of his eyes flashed with a smile that had succeeded in his trick, haha, Shen Qingwan, you were fooled!

The old lady, Shen Cheng, Aunt Wu and others were all sitting in the dining room, the conversation between Shen Yimeng and Shen Qingwan, they heard it clearly, the New Year, everything should go smoothly, if Shen Qingwan asserted that she rejected Shen Yimeng's request, they would definitely be displeased.

It turned out that Shen Yimeng was playing the idea of her own hairpin, it was really treacherous, her hairpin, fashionable style, high-quality color, embellished with an emerald gemstone, and her own hairpin, the latest style, excellent color, embellished with three precious East pearls, her own hairpin, enough to exchange her three or four......

"The hairpins of the two of us are matched with their respective clothes and decorated, if they are exchanged and worn, they don't match the clothes on their bodies, wouldn't they look nondescript!" Shen Yimeng and Aunt Liu are worthy of being mother and daughter, and they know that they can get benefits from themselves, their mother is a thief, and their daughter is a thief.

Shen Yimeng was anxious: "Then let's even change our clothes together!" After Shen Qing returned home in the evening, Shen Yimeng went to Wuyuan to look for her, but the next person said that she slept and didn't see anyone, so Shen Yimeng returned in vain.

After eating this meal, the sky will soon be bright, and it is snowing outside, and it must be very romantic to walk in the snow with the prince, but how can I go out to meet people with my poor clothes and jewelry.

Shen Qingwan's clothes and jewelry are all noble and new, and when you wear them yourself, you are noble, pure, and cute, and you will definitely be able to capture the heart of the prince.

"Meng'er, it's time to eat right away, what kind of clothes to change!" The old lady's tone was displeased, it was really unruly, this was a dining room, not a clothes shop.

"Grandmother, don't be angry, my sister likes my hairpin very much, I'm a younger sister, of course I can't be stingy......" I can only go to meet the prince if I wear Shen Qingwan's beautiful clothes, this dress on my body is good alone, but it can be compared with Shen Qingwan, and it can't be on the stage at all.

Shen Qingwan smiled lightly: "Although the third sister's hairpin is beautiful, it is not the color I like, don't talk about these boring things, it's not too early, let's eat!" "Her clothes and jewelry were all left by her mother, how could she let her enemy's daughter rob them.

Shen Yimeng was anxious in his heart, and wanted to say something, but he was coldly slapped by the old lady, and he didn't dare to say anything, sat on the chair, lowered his head, and ate the fragrant dumplings in his mouth, but the taste was the same as chewing wax: What should I do? How can I wear Shen Qingwan's beautiful clothes?

Shen Yijia was not healed because of the injury on her face, and she contradicted the old lady and made the old lady unhappy, and even with Aunt Liu, they were punished and grounded by the old lady, and they were not allowed to come to Songshoutang for a reunion dinner.

Everyone calmed down, and just after eating a few bites, the maid outside the door reported: "Old lady, Lord Wu's family is here to greet you for the New Year!" ”

The old man put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Please!" ”

Lord Wu's family refers to Lord Wu, Yang's, Lei's, and Wu Chenglang's four people, who entered the house and were inevitably polite and greeting.

Greeting the New Year, Lord Wu was about to say goodbye and leave, and the maid outside the door reported again: "Old lady, Xiangye, the king of Chu is visiting." ”

What the? The king of Chu came to visit, did he hear it right? The old lady and Shen Cheng were stunned.

"Hurry up, please!" After all, Shen Cheng is the prime minister, serving in the court, he has seen the world, and he reacts very quickly.

After Shen Yimeng was stunned, he also reacted, put down his chopsticks, and quickly sorted out his clothes, his hair bun, his clothes are not wrinkled, the hair bun is quite neat, the prince should like it......

Shen Qingwan secretly wondered, wasn't Duan Yu far from being in Wuyuan, why did he come to Songshoutang again?

The curtain opened, Duan Yuyuan walked in, his handsome and extraordinary face, noble and indifferent temperament, eclipsed the candlelight, all the men in front of him, all ashamed of themselves, deep eyes, restrained, ten thousand emotions, hidden in his heart, until the last moment, no one knew what he was thinking.

Lei Shi was stunned, she thought that Duan Yunqi was already good enough, who would have thought that this King of Chu was even better than King Yu, how could the people of the royal family in the capital be more powerful than the other. Wu Chenglang didn't even dare to raise his head, in front of Duan Yuyuan, he was as low as dust on the ground......

Turning a blind eye to Lord Wu's family, Duan Yu looked at the dining table from afar: "You are having a reunion dinner, and it seems that it is not the right time for me to come." ”

Shen Qing held his forehead in the evening, when he came to Songshoutang, he obviously told him that he was here for a reunion dinner, but he actually pretended not to know, really, with a black belly!

Shen Cheng smiled slightly: "The prince is serious, it's just a meal, don't mind, the prince hasn't eaten yet, why don't you go together?" "The Chu Wangfu is not close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as the new year arrives, Duan Yuyuan will appear here, and there will definitely be no meals.

Just now, the maid reported that Duan Yuyuan was here to visit, not to talk to Shen Cheng about things, so Shen Cheng didn't dare to ask him to go to the study on his own.

"Excuse me!" Duan Yuyuan unceremoniously walked to the upper seat and sat down, and the maid quickly brought a new pair of dishes and chopsticks.

"Lord Wang, Master Xiang, the lower officials will retire first!" When the Prime Minister came to the distinguished guest, Lord Wu quickly got up and said goodbye, so as not to obstruct the eyes of others.

Because it was a reunion dinner, the old lady, Shen Cheng, Shen Qingwan, Shen Yiqi, Shen Yiyue, Shen Yiqiao, Shen Yimeng, Shen Li, Aunt Wu and more than a dozen people sat together to use it, and there was no distinction between dignity and inferiority.

But Duan Yuyuan has a noble status, and people with a low status can't share the table with him, Aunt Wu took Shen Li to the dining table of Xinbu with interest, and the old lady hinted that Shen Yimeng also passed, but her eyes stared at Duan Yuyuan without blinking, and she didn't see the hint of the old lady.

"Lord, the food in the house, can you still eat it?" Shen Yimeng smiled, and his eyes were full of peach hearts...... Duan Yuyuan didn't speak, his eyelids were slightly calm, he took a sip of freshly brewed tea, and a thin layer of anger lingered under his deep eyes.

Shen Cheng looked at Shen Yimeng and quietly glanced at her: "Meng'er, go sit over there!" The prince didn't like Meng'er's enthusiasm, so he still asked her to leave her seat as soon as possible, so as not to collide with the prince.

"Lord Wang, my name is Shen Yimeng, and I am the third girl of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Ignoring Shen Cheng's orders and hints, Shen Yimeng happily introduced himself to Duan Yuyuan, his eyes shy and timid.

"Dreams!" Shen Cheng accentuated his tone, his brows furrowed, and his eyes flashed with anger, wouldn't Meng'er look at people's faces? The prince was clearly about to get angry......

"Dad, people are just talking to the prince, why are you so fierce......" Shen Yimeng's beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and he wanted to say goodbye, but he was pitiful.

Righteous men and gentlemen like soft and weak women, and they are also pitiful, which stimulates the prince's desire to protect and fulfills his heroic story of saving beauty.

Quietly raising his eyes to look at Duan Yuyuan, Shen Yimeng smiled secretly in his heart, the prince was about to reprimand his father and comfort himself!

Who would have thought that Duan Yuyuan sat steadily on the chair, without saying a word for a long time, but the cold aura around his body was getting stronger and stronger, and the room was obviously burning with a warm charcoal fire, but everyone felt like a Layue Ice Cellar, which was suffocating.

"Come on, the third girl is drunk, help her go back to rest!" If it weren't for her identity and so many people here, the old lady would definitely order someone to slap Shen Yimeng a few times, and she wouldn't look at the object if she was pretentious, how could such a noble and indifferent person as King Chu like her like a vulgar fan.

"Grandmother, I don't drink a drop of alcohol, how can I get drunk." She's old and confused! In the latter sentence, Shen Yimeng didn't say it, but only dared to slander.

"You are the third girl of the Prime Minister's Mansion, are you drunk or not, I don't know if I am a grandmother, help the third girl down." Staying here will only be a shame. Yinping and Yinye stepped forward and pulled Shen Yimeng's arm outward.

Knowing that the old lady was moving seriously, Shen Yimeng was anxious: "Grandmother, I'm not drunk, I'm really not drunk, I don't believe you can ask the imperial doctor to come and see......"

The prince finally came to the Prime Minister's Mansion once, and he hadn't won his favor yet, so he left like this, wouldn't it be cheap for Shen Qingwan in vain.

The old lady was unmoved, and Shen Yimeng's anxious eyes for help turned to Shen Cheng and Shen Qingwan: "Daddy, sister, you don't look like a drunk person, you can say something for me......"

Shen Cheng frowned tightly and didn't say a word, Shen Qingwan smiled slightly: "Third sister, the elders are respected, grandmother said that you are drunk, you must be drunk!" ”

No one interceded for her, Shen Yimeng was furious, and she didn't know where she got the strength, so she suddenly pushed away the silver screen and silver leaf that were holding her, and rushed over, and after running a few steps, she deliberately stepped on the hem of her clothes, and her slender body fell straight to Duan Yuyuan: "Ah! ”

Shen Yimeng had calculated the distance and angle, and if she fell from that place, she would fall directly into Duan Yuyuan's arms.

Seeing through Shen Yimeng's conspiracy, Shen Qingwan smiled coldly, flicked his fingers, and a pearl flew out of his hand and hit Shen Yimeng's leg hard, Shen Yimeng fell at a slightly inclined angle, and instead of falling into Duan Yuyuan's arms as originally planned, he slammed it on the dining table in front of him.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The table toppled over, all the food on the table fell on Shen Yimeng, the vegetable leaves and vegetable soup were poured all over, and a pot of hot soup was mercilessly splashed on Shen Yimeng's white and tender side face: "Ah! A terrible scream pierced through the clouds and resounded through the sky.

"My face, my face ......" Ignoring the soup and water spilled on his clothes, as well as a few vegetable leaves on his hair, Shen Yimeng trembled his hands, carefully held his cheeks, and shouted hysterically at the maids, "Come on, go and ask for a doctor..."

The old lady's whole body trembled, stupid, stupid, in front of the king of Chu, such a rudeness, the face of the Xiangfu was all lost by her, "Yinye, Yinping, Miss Fuliu will reward the Lotus Pavilion, Luyan, go and ask the house doctor!" Duan Yuyuan was here, and the old lady was angry in her heart, but she couldn't be harsh on Shen Yimeng.

This time, Shen Yimeng didn't struggle anymore, cried loudly, let the silver screen and silver leaf stand go, and before going out, he also glanced at Duan Yuyuan deeply, his eyes were full of grievances and expectations.

There were a lot of maids in Songshoutang, and soon cleaned up the mess all over the place, and served a new meal, Shen Cheng sighed helplessly: "The goddaughter has no way, and it disturbs the prince......"

"It's me who bothered me first, and it has nothing to do with Xiangye!" Although Duan Yuyuan was saying polite words, his tone was cold, not angry and arrogant, as if he was born a king.

The old lady looked at Shen Cheng and Duan Yuyuan: "It's not too early, let's eat!" "It's better not to mention such a shameful thing.

Because Duan Yuyuan is here, Shen Cheng, the old lady, and Aunt Wu are somewhat restrained when eating, not as comfortable as before, in contrast, Shen Qingwan is very natural, eating vegetables when she should eat, and drinking soup when she should drink soup.

When Shen Qing was eight minutes full late, he looked up at the others, the old lady and Shen Cheng had only eaten a little, and there was still more than half of the rice in the bowl, Duan Yuyuan was even more outrageous, the rice in the bowl was basically not moved, and the chopsticks held the meal, and before it was delivered to the mouth, it was put down again.

"Lord Wang, is the food not to your liking?" Duan Yuyuan seems to be very picky when eating, this Xiangfu meal is not to his taste, otherwise, he would not just take chopsticks and skip eating. "Not exactly!" Duan Yuyuan put down his chopsticks: "Recently, I have been eating the same thing every day, and I am a little tired of it......"

The old lady smiled lightly: "During the Chinese New Year, the food is almost the same, and after a long time, it will definitely be annoying......"

Her eyes flashed, and the smile on the old lady's face was even stronger: "The good pastries made in the evening, especially the dragon whisker crisp, sweet but not greasy, fresh and refreshing......" The old lady has eaten the dragon whisker crisp made by Shen Qing in the evening, which is better than the cook in the drunken building, and this remark is not an exaggeration.

"Really?" Duan Yuyuan looked up at Shen Qingwan, and there was a faint light flickering under his deep eyes.

"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can let Wan'er make some tastes." The old lady smiled amiably: "The dragon whisker crisp just made, the taste is the best, in the evening, you take the prince back to Wuyuan and make some dragon whisker crisp ......"

Shen Cheng put down his chopsticks, his eyes swept back and forth on Duan Yuyuan and Shen Qingwan, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

"Yes!" Shen Qing had almost eaten late, and was about to go back to Wuyuan, and besides, she also wanted to know why Duan Yuyuan suddenly came to Songshoutang, so she obeyed the old lady's wishes and went back with Duan Yuyuan.

Looking at the figures of Shen Qingwan and Duan Yuyuan walking side by side, gradually moving away, Shen Cheng couldn't take care of eating: "Mother, what do you mean?" ”

The old lady restrained her smile and glanced at Shen Cheng: "King Chu likes to be late, don't you see it?" ”

"Mother, I think that the king of Chu is just polite to Wan'er, not ......" Wan'er is smart and clever, decent, noble and dignified, and the king of Chu talks to her calmly, which is normal.

The old lady frowned, her eyes were displeased: "The king of Chu is indifferent, he will not pay attention to the people and things he doesn't like at all, otherwise, it won't appear, Meng'er flattered him for a long time, he didn't say a word, the question raised by Wan'er, he answered it immediately, everyone can see that he is different ......from Wan'er" "But mother, aren't you going to give Wan'er to King Yu?" "There's only one night, and you can't give it to two men at the same time.

The old lady smiled lightly, her eyes were unfathomable: "The Yu Wangfu and the Chu Wangfu are both royal families, Duan Yunqi and Duan Yuyuan are very good, and at the same time they like Wan'er, I don't know how to choose, alas, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and we will not interfere in some things, let them young people solve it themselves!" ”

Two excellent men, at the same time in love with a beautiful woman, open and secret fighting, it is inevitable, the contest between Duan Yuyuan and Duan Yunqi is the confrontation between the Chu Wangfu and the Yuwang Mansion, the winner can hold the beauty, which is equivalent to choosing a powerful grandson-in-law for the Xiangfu in disguise, the old lady can't ask for it, where will it be stopped.

Shen Cheng shook his head with a wry smile: The capital that has just calmed down is afraid that there will be another storm.

During the New Year's holidays, the dragon whisker crisp is made in double portions, Shen Qingwan was busy in the kitchen for a long time, and finally made the dragon whisker crisp, however, it had just snowed, the air was humid, and the wind direction was not very smokey in the kitchen.

"Lord Wang, the dragon beard crisp is ready!" Shen Qingwan walked into the room with the dragon beard, but saw that the room was empty, and Duan Yuyuan didn't know where he went: "Where is the prince?" ”

"Miss Hui, the prince has something to do, so he left first, he said that he would come and get the dragon whisker cake after finishing things!" Xun Han neatly placed the dragon beard on the table, turned around and instructed the other maids to prepare bath water.

Shen Qingwan smiled softly, Duan Yuyuan's affairs are really not ordinary, there is no way to live comfortably and comfortably in the New Year, and when he smells the smoke on his body, it is better to take a bath first.
