The husband and wife watched the two little servants guarding in front of the hall help Dou Yueshan down, and they fell silent together.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Cao, who was sitting next to Dou Taijun, to feel unwell, and before noon, her face was already snow-white, and she was supported by Bi Yun to rest.

The new year ushered in under the sound of firecrackers in the capital. After all parts of the capital burned bamboo and wood to make it explode to welcome the New Year, they successively lit braziers to burn firecrackers.

After midnight, the bamboo was burned in front of the Commanding Mansion.

Not only Dou Taijun, Ning Nanxian and Jiang Chengjia, the three masters who were still guarding the front hall, but dozens of servants and maids who had eaten Chinese New Year's Eve together in the front hall courtyard also crowded in front of the door, watching Ji Xianzhi lead Ye Bai Ye Hazel to light the fire in the charcoal pot in front of the door, holding one end of the long bamboo, putting the whole bamboo on it, and letting the fire in the charcoal pot roast. After a while, the whole of the bamboo was blackened by the smoked charcoal, and a slight popping sound gradually appeared. The fire in the charcoal basin is getting bigger and bigger, and the bamboo body is crackling and exploding more cheerfully.

Xiaocui and Ji Que surrounded Jiang Chengjia, covering their ears and pointing to the brazier in front of the village, laughing and laughing in a burst of laughter.

After all the bamboos prepared for the first year of the season were roasted and exploded in front of the village, they gradually calmed down.

The big red lanterns hanging in the Zhuangzi were lit one by one by the little maids, and they lit up one by one, and they were fainted in a light red light, which was very beautiful.

After the firecrackers, Dou Taijun wanted to change his clothes in the wing room, and then go to the front hall to celebrate the New Year with everyone, so he did not go around the road with the husband and wife from the small corridor leading to the front hall, but went to the backyard from another road.

Ning Nan worriedly supported Jiang Chengjia and slowly walked all the way from the front hall along a row of lit lanterns, Xiao Cui and Qian Shan followed behind, whispering something, as if there was something that made them extremely happy.

Ji Que followed Jiang Chengjia's side, also holding back a smile.

Jiang Chengjia saw it inadvertently, and had doubts in his heart, and asked casually, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Qianshan, Xiaocui, and Ji Que immediately shook their heads, and pretended to be calm: "The slaves and maids are not laughing at anything..."

Jiang Chengjia looked at them and felt strange, and couldn't see what kind of medicine they had bought in the gourd, so he turned around and continued to lean on Ning Nan's arms and walked forward.

After a while, she noticed that something was wrong, and turned her head to look behind Qianshan Xiaocui, and said strangely: "Where did Shuihe and black tea go?" Why didn't you come along? ”

Qian Shan immediately said: "Black Tea and Shui He are preparing a dumpling feast in the East Kitchen..."

Jiang Chengjia was full of suspicion and said, "Why do I always think that the three of you have something to hide from me?" ”

She glanced at Qianshan, Xiaocui, and Ji Que.

Xiao Cui said with a smile on her face: "The female monarch is so hearty! When the New Year comes, I'm so happy with Sister Qianshan and Finch! That's why I'm so happy. ”

Jiang Chengjia thought about it in his heart, and felt reasonable, so he didn't think about it anymore.

It's just that she didn't notice at this time that beside her, the young man who was holding her waist and walking slowly, the corners of his lips hooked up with an inconspicuous smile.

The group walked from the small corridor to the antechamber.

At noon, the courtyard was pitch black, only a layer of red lanterns remained, Jiang Chengjia couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, and she didn't notice that she followed Ning Nan's footsteps and unconsciously came to another corridor that was not leading to the front hall.

The glow of the pink red cloud gradually turned to a dim yellow, and somehow it became brighter in front of it.

Jiang Chengjia's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he stood at the end of the corridor and looked to the other side.

I saw that the left and right sides of this usually inconspicuous corridor were hung with all kinds of lanterns at some point, all dyed with fine white brocade yarn into a dull antique light yellow, and the candles were lit inside, and the patterns on the brocade yarn were revealed one by one.

Ning Nan saw that her eyes widened as she stared at the lanterns on both sides of the corridor, so she smiled softly, and then took her hand and walked forward.

Qianshan Xiaocui and Ji Que stood in front of the road and did not follow.

The three of them giggled, envious of the talented and beautiful scenery in front of them.

Jiang Chengjia ran to the lanterns on both sides in small steps, looking over one by one, and there were vivid portraits painted on them. And the woman in the picture painted her.

She raised her eyebrows, a faint flush on her face, and she was excited. She ran in the corridor, looking up on her back and carefully studying the danqing pictures on the lanterns one by one.

The women in the painting sometimes sit and sometimes stand, all of which are scenes when she frolicks with Qianshan and them in the village on weekdays, as well as scenes where she sits on a small table to make up, or she leans on a bench and accompanies Ning Nan to read the file and approve the file.

Each Danqing is painted vividly and differently, and the only thing in common is that there is a blooming begonia on each side of the lantern.

The more Jiang Chengjia looked, the more pleased.

Ning Nan followed behind her and walked slowly. Excellent reading books

It wasn't until Jiang Chengjia walked to the end of the corridor that he found that Shuihe and black tea were standing on both sides of the corridor, one carrying a yarn lamp. When she walked in front of her, the two of them slowly walked out and lifted the yarn lamp in front of Jiang Chengjia.

Only then did she see what the brocade on the last two lamps was painted on?

It was a couple of men and women dressed in wedding dresses, and the painting was exactly what they wore on the day of their wedding.

Jiang Chengjia was pleasantly surprised to take the lanterns from Shuihe and Black Tea one by one and watched them.

Ning Nanwu also walked to her side at this time.

Shui He and Black Tea grinned, and congratulated Jiang Chengjia: "Slaves and maids wish men and women a harmonious husband and wife and a happy life in the new year!" ”

The two of them bowed and bowed.

Jiang Chengjia smiled, and he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

She looked at the young man beside her, and saw that he was also looking at her gently and dotingly, and her heart was as difficult to hold herself as surging as a river.

"You asked them to prepare these?" She asked softly.

Ning Nan was silent, just smiled and nodded.

Shuihe and Black Tea listened to the conversation between the two, but immediately explained on the side: "The female monarch... The man has put a lot of effort into it this time, whether it is the danqing picture painted on the brocade yarn or this yarn lamp, it is all made by the man step by step... The slaves and maidservants have just made arrangements for the monarch here tonight... The man is very attentive.,I've been preparing since the first half of the month.,You still need to hide it from the woman.,It's common to get up at night to paint... I also hurt my hands when I tied the lantern..."

Seeing that Shuihe was about to continue, Ning Nanwu immediately threw a look at her.

The girl reacted, the male monarch had confessed, and they were not allowed to tell the female monarch, how difficult and difficult the process was. But she said it all as soon as she could.

Jiang Chengjia stared at Ning Nan worriedly, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.

She gently took his hands, and then she knew where the scars on his hands often came from these days, and why he often read at night in the study. It turned out to be a surprise for her.

Such silent care and dedication gave birth to a long and profound feeling in Jiang Chengjia's heart, and she said softly: "I like it very much, Erlang, thank you for all this you have prepared for me." ”

Ning Nan hummed in a low voice, took her into his arms, hugged her waist and said gently, "If you like it, it's fine." ”

Jiang Chengjia couldn't hold on a little, and there were tears in his eyes that kept rolling. She buried a little pink face in his chest and whimpered, "The New Year has just arrived, and you have made me cry..."

She was a little squeamish, like a feather blown by the breeze in Ningnan's worried heart.

Seeing this scene, Shuihe and Black Tea also knew that it would be a bit of an eyesore for them to continue to stay here, so the two of them hung the two lanterns in their hands that painted the yarn lanterns depicted by Ning Nan and Jiang Chengjia when they were married, and then left quickly from the path, for fear of disturbing the lingering of the two of them.

Ning Nan patted her back softly and coaxed softly.

Jiang Chengjia leaned on his arms, and suddenly felt a little troubled in his heart, so he hugged his waist tightly and murmured: "Erlang, how can you treat me so well?" ”

She thought to herself: How can I be separated from you again? If in this life, we can't live up to the destiny of heaven, where should you and I go?

Ning Nan didn't know the strong sadness in her heart at the moment, but whispered in her ear: "I am willing to treat you well, because I am happy with you." Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. ”

Jiang Chengjia was a little stunned by his touching love words, so she looked at the lanterns on both sides of the road, and suddenly remembered what she had said unintentionally, she had said casually when she was leading Qianshan and Xiaocui Red Lanterns: If you can see the yarn lanterns in the corridor lit during the New Year's Festival, the scenery must be very wonderful.

This was just something she said casually, but she never thought that Ning Nan was worried in her heart, and she specially spent half a month preparing this feast of yellow brocade for her.

She was even more moved, so she hugged him tighter.

Ning Nan was worried about Jiang Chengjia's mood swings, and there was a smile shining like stars in his heart and eyes.

He stroked the back of Jiang Chengjia's head, and with his other hand carefully fished her out of his arms, then lifted her chin, pressed it against her forehead, rubbed it twice, and said, "Ah Luo... Don't cry anymore. The appearance of your pear blossoms with rain is very lovely. ”

Jiang Chengjia was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the ill-intentioned smile on the corner of his mouth, he immediately blushed slightly, and whispered: "You have such a temperament... It's no wonder that the finches always say you're a hooligan. ”

She got out of his arms, pushed him away, and then grabbed his palm, gently rubbed his palm twice, and said, "Bear with me, wait for this little naughty in my belly to land... We..."

She hung her head, shy.

Ning Nan looked worriedly, her mood couldn't help but be happy and cheerful, she couldn't help it, and laughed: "Silly girl, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Chengjia only felt that he gently scratched the tip of her nose, then grabbed her big palm, and returned to the original way.
