Chapter 295: A New Year
The Chinese New Year's Eve feast in the palace is said to be Chinese New Year's Eve, but it is actually the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve Festival, for the people of Dayi, they attach great importance to the reunion with their families, so the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is a time for family reunion.
As for the palace, it must be the saint and the clan, leading all the concubines of the harem to the banquet together.
Yan Wushuang had lived in the palace before, so naturally she had participated, and in her memory, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve was just a trick used by the harem concubines to compete for favor.
At that time, the queen's position was stable, and she no longer had to compete for favor to maintain her status, she only needed to be in charge of the harem. So I don't care about how the harem concubines behave.
In the eyes of Yan Wushuang, who has modern memories, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the harem is just a Spring Festival Gala, blowing, playing, singing and dancing.
When Chinese New Year's Eve came, Yan Wushuang asked the housekeeper to give double the monthly money to the subordinates in the mansion, and if you have a home, you can go home, and if you don't have it, you can go home.
After careful calculation in the end, Yan Wushuang found that the entire side by side palace, except for her and Zhan Ge, the others were all alone, and the whole family was not hungry when one person fed, and there were no worries, so naturally there was nothing to worry about.
The ink merchants and other secret guards are all orphans, and most of the people in the mansion have retired from the battlefield, and there is no place to enjoy their old age, so they came here.
As for the maids in the house, they are basically sold themselves, and they have been wandering outside for a long time, and after a long time, they have forgotten where their home is.
"Uncle Zhan, let's do it, today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner I and Ah Ge will go to King Sheng's Mansion, you can get together for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is also lively, before I gave winter clothes according to the number of people in the mansion, and later you will lead everyone to send it down, so that everyone can also have a good year."
Zhan Ge himself doesn't care about the affairs of the house. Basically, it was Zhan Bo, and later Yan Wushuang took over, covering all aspects and never falling behind.
Zhan Bo smiled with relief, but persuaded Yan Wushuang: "Madam, you have made several clothes for us in one winter, which is enough, why spend so much more money."
"Uncle Zhan, you don't see that I don't have a place to spend money, it's good to use more for you, the people in our palace are naturally different from others."
After persuading the uncle, Yan Wushuang specially instructed.
"The ink merchant and the guards, they have to follow Ah Ge all the year round, and they have to perform special tasks, so their clothes are specially made, they are all Yuxiu Pavilion, don't worry about other problems, if there is anything needed in the house, Zhan Bo can tell me as soon as possible."
Hiding his moist eyes without a trace, Zhan Bo smiled happily: "Naturally, it's not too early, Madame will set off with the general and young master after packing up, and the affairs in the house will be handed over to his subordinates."
After Yan Wushuang carefully calculated, there was indeed nothing else to explain, so he nodded: "The current thing is like this, the kitchen has been set up early, and you can eat hot pot when the time comes, everything is very convenient and lively."
When he was finally ready to go out, Zhan Bo came in with a nervous face: "General, madam, Your Majesty has arrived."
Lin'er is here? Yan Wushuang blinked suspiciously, glanced at Zhan Ge, instantly understood, and smiled helplessly: "There are no other elders in the palace, some are just the concubines of the first emperor in the harem, I am afraid that Lin'er will not be able to stand it, so she ran out."
"We are going to King Sheng's Mansion, why don't you let Your Majesty go with us, there are many people and it is lively, presumably His Royal Highness King Sheng has no opinion."
As the two spoke, the saint pushed the door in, and the Praetorian Guards stopped outside, followed by only Gonggong Wei dressed in civilian clothes.
The saint himself is also wearing civilian clothes, blue brocade clothes, embroidered with dragon patterns, jade crown and hair, and a black cloak, plus he has grown a lot taller this year, and he looks at it fiercely, and his momentum is compelling.
"Sister Wushuang, Brother Zhan, I'm here...... What are you really doing? I've finally come here, and you guys have to go out. ”
Zhan Ge was puzzled by the cloaked inside.
Shu Jing, who had already wrapped like a plush ball, ran out, took the hand of the saint, and explained in a milky voice: "We are going to my grandmother and grandfather's mansion for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, does Brother Lin want to join us?"
"Go to King Sheng's Mansion? Then I naturally want to be with you, you are all gone, what does it mean for me to stay alone in the palace side by side? ”
Picking up the plush dumplings in his hand, the saint didn't even sit down, urging: "Sister Wushuang, Brother Zhan, hurry up, I'm still in a hurry."
Yan Wushuang rolled his eyes very elegantly: "You will live in the previous courtyard tonight, I have already sent someone to clean it up for you."
"It's all right, anyway, the palace is so big, there must be a place for me to sleep."
After a group of people went out, they walked to Sheng Wang's Mansion from the main gate, and as for the housekeeper of Sheng Wang's Mansion, he couldn't react to that look of shock for a while.
Quite familiar walked to the backyard, after saluting and greeting, the saint was still childlike, and took Shu Jing to the open place in the garden to build a snowman, and Zhan Ge stayed with Yan Wushuang.
"How is my mother feeling in the past two days, has she still bothered you?" This kid is now more than four months old, and when he found out, it happened to be Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge in Jiangnan.
Ning Yao'er lives a comfortable life, between her eyebrows and eyes, her skin is delicate and smooth, and even some girls can't reach it, life is comfortable and comfortable, her daughter is filial, and her husband is considerate, maybe this is the life that a woman likes.
"It's good, you haven't been here for two days, so you asked so much, why did Your Majesty come with you?"
took the chestnuts peeled by Zhan Ge, and explained casually.
"What else could it be for? It's just to come over to rub the rice, although the palace is good, but he can't be alone, accompany a group of concubines to eat, and I asked Duke Wei, the harem concubine's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight has been settled, Lin'er is not there, it doesn't matter. ”
King Sheng was peeling the skin of the melon seeds, which was very natural and smooth, without the slightest sense of dignity as a prince: "It's okay, Your Majesty can't be longer than a woman's hands, fortunately, the imperial brother didn't choose many concubines back then, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
This comes from King Sheng, who is afraid of trouble, Ning Yao'er glanced at her, and her eyes were full of charm: "Your Majesty knows these things, and I still need you to remind you, besides, the first emperor is not a woman-oriented person, so don't worry about it."
"Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I'll go to the kitchen and cook it with the cook, well, I guarantee that everyone likes it, anyway, there are few people to count here, it's very convenient."
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a meal of both commemorative and practical significance throughout the year, and Yan Wushuang naturally hopes that it can be perfect and everyone likes it.
Ning Yao'er took Yan Wushuang's hand with pity and reluctance: "Although my mother knows that you like this, the girl's family still has to cook less, and it is not good for the skin for a long time."
"It's okay, mother, I rarely cook now, only occasionally, and I'm married, so you don't have to worry."
Faced with this problem, it really made Yan Wushuang a little crying and laughing, her mother seems to have always been very opposed to her cooking, making pastries and the like, it is better to say, but she is reluctant to let her cook for a big meal.
"Mother-in-law, as long as Wushuang likes something, I will support it, you don't have to worry, the skin care she uses is all secret in the palace, and even if it is me, I don't want her to cook often."
King Tang glanced at Zhan Ge and sneered, the big-tailed wolf was very fond of Yan Wushuang: "There are still a lot of precious medicinal materials in my house, all of which are used to regulate the body, and I will send someone to your house when the time comes."
"Father-in-law, thank you for worrying, I have these precious medicinal materials in my house, and Wushuang likes to use them." Zhan Ge clearly saw the white eyes that King Sheng gave him just now, and he couldn't provoke openly, which didn't mean that he couldn't settle accounts secretly.
Yan Wushuang and Ning Yao'er glanced at each other, both a little helpless, and the two of them didn't talk about what happened just now.
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, after Yan Wushuang and everyone discussed, finally made a hot pot, Mandarin Duck Pot, the bottom of the pot is boiled out of the chicken soup that has been prepared in the house, and the sauce in it is boiled before Yan Wushuang.
All kinds of dishes are neatly arranged, suitable for personal taste, five people around a round table, the warmth of the dragon roast, the spicy taste makes people full of appetite, the whole scene is very lively.
Shu Jing can't eat spicy, but he likes to eat, one bite down, his little face is red, Yan Wushuang can only let him eat after passing the water, and the people at the table laugh very happily.
The saint was the most deeply touched, and he was also the most public, playing with Shu Jing, and he was very happy.
At some point, snowflakes began to blow in the air, the north wind howled and swept wantonly, and the lanterns hanging in the corridor shook gently, but they still persistently shone the light in all directions.
In the side hall of the front hall, King Sheng ordered a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone took turns to eat, which made people's hearts feel warm.
After the maid cleaned up the leftovers, the group wrapped up tightly and went for a walk outside, Tang Wang and Sheng Wang were just people, both of them were people who practiced martial arts, and they had internal strength to protect their bodies, and this kind of weather was also trivial.
King Sheng accompanied Ning Yao'er inch by inch, Zhan Ge and Yan Wu held hands, and the saint was also satisfied with Shu Jing, and they both had something to do.
The plum blossoms on the branches bloomed in the wind, blooming just right, and in Yan Wushuang's eyes, the stars were dazzling: "This year is about to pass, and when the new year comes, we will all get better and better, Ago, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Yan Wushuang."
Indulging Yan Wushuang's smile, Zhan Ge smiled more and more spoiledly: "Hello Wushuang, I am Zhan Ge, the person who has accompanied you all your life."
The two looked at each other and smiled, picturesque.
King Sheng and Ning Yao'er looked at it and were also very pleased. The two little children shuttling between Merlin laughed and played, adding more vitality.
In the new year, you and I are all right.
