The three years of Shengping were no different from the first year. The only thing that is more different is that compared with the past two years, the people have been able to make a lot of changes in their living environment. This is mainly because the three-year plan formulated by Li Xin and his team has slowly begun to bear fruit. Some of the smaller goals have been achieved on time or even ahead of schedule. Therefore, it will give people a refreshing feeling.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, everyone has a day off, and Li Xin accompanies his wife at home to enjoy the lanterns. However, at this time, it is not called the Lantern Festival, but only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is far from having so many grand activities in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

At this time, the Lantern Festival is more about the ancestral door sacrifices, and everyone sacrifices to the god of the stove to welcome Zigu, anyway, they are all activities such as praying for good luck and a better life. These things, in fact, in the final analysis, also contain ~ the beautiful yearning of ordinary people for life.

"What do you think of this lantern? Pretty too, right? Li Xin pointed to a pink lantern hanging on the tree and said.

"It's pretty good, but it's a little bit less patterned. Otherwise, it looks even better! Zhou Ting looked at it for a while, then nodded.

"There's no way around that! The people who make lanterns don't know what we like, the patterns on this are some auspicious things, and I usually see a lot! Or, next time we have a holiday, let's do a few by ourselves! What do you think? Hearing this, Li Xin smiled and proposed.

"Good! When the concubine has time, she will learn this craft, and when the time comes, we will do it ourselves! Zhou Ting suddenly showed an interested look and said happily.

"That's it! Let's go! Let's go over there and sit down, enjoy the lights under this month, and have a little snack, it would be great, just warm up~ body! "Li Xin's mansion is not small, there is a small pavilion in the garden, so he plans to go there and sit there. And let the attendants bring the food, it is still the weather of the first month, and the night is still very cold.

The glutinous rice balls are already very familiar to later generations, and the method is relatively simple. It is said that this thing only appeared in the Song Dynasty, so it was originally unedible during the Wei and Jin dynasties.

But who made Li Xin a person from later generations, and he was also familiar with this thing. For the sake of his wife, he specially went to the kitchen to guide them, and asked them to try to make some out, ready to let Zhou Ting try it before talking.

Fortunately, glutinous rice is a common thing in this era, otherwise, I am afraid that he would also be a clever woman who has no rice. Limited by the actual conditions, therefore, there are not many patterns, the only commendable place, I am afraid that the authentic and green pollution-free raw materials.

"Come, try them all and see which one you like! This is specially prepared for you! After the dumplings were served, Li Xin first clipped one to Zhou Ting and let her try it.

Zhou Ting looked at these white round ~ rolling little things curiously, quite curious. Before Li Xin mysteriously told her that when she prepared a surprise for her, she had thought about it for a long time, who knew that it was actually this thing! In addition to this rice ball, there are some other side dishes and the like.

"What's this called, it looks delicious!" Zhou Ting smelled the fragrance and couldn't help asking.

"This one! I call it glutinous rice balls! Eat! Eat in small bites, don't swallow it all at once, otherwise, it's easy to choke and not speak, and it's still very hot! Li Xin gave a special advice.

The glutinous rice balls are made from glutinous rice flour and lard, but anyone who knows anything knows that lard is not so easy to cool down once heated. If you eat the rice balls directly one bite at a time, your throat may have to suffer at that time.

Zhou Ting, whose index finger moved, hurriedly obediently took a small bite on it and tasted it carefully.

"How? What does it taste like? Li Xin looked at her and asked.

"Delicious! Soft and glutinous fragrance, and the taste of sesame seeds! Zhou Ting nodded hurriedly.

"Well, it's delicious! If it's delicious, you can eat more! When Li Xin heard this, he immediately became happy.

Then he instructed the kitchen man to send some to everyone in the house, so that everyone could have a good taste of it. Especially the guards who guard the mansion in the cold wind, it is good to warm up with this thing.

It was the first time everyone had eaten this thing, and the house was suddenly filled with fragrance, and everyone's face was filled with a happy look. After all, it's a rare thing to meet such a good host.

Li Xin also ate a bowl himself, but every time he ate it, it always reminded him that he had not traveled back in time. He is no longer eating glutinous rice balls, but eating feelings and memories.

"Wow.......!" Just when Li Xin was a little distracted because of his memories, Zhou Ting's voice suddenly came from the side.

Li Xin woke up in shock and hurriedly looked at Zhou Ting. I saw that at this time, she suddenly ran to the side, and vomited, and the things she had just eaten seemed to have been spit out.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you vomit all at once? Is this stuff too oily, so you're too tired of eating? Li Xin hurriedly ran over, caressed her back, and asked with concern.

"The concubine didn't know, just after eating a little, she felt disgusted, and she couldn't help but vomit!" Zhou Ting replied while vomiting.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to your room to rest! Lu'er, immediately send someone to invite Imperial Doctor Cheng to take a good look at Mrs. Cheng! Li Xin was in a hurry, and hurriedly carried Zhou Ting back to the bedroom, and at the same time sent someone to ask for a doctor.

It is not a trivial matter for the general to be invited, and after Cheng Yan heard about it, he immediately rushed over from home.

"Imperial Doctor Cheng, what's wrong with my wife? Are you sick? Li Xin stood aside, looked at Cheng Yan with a nervous expression, and asked from time to time.

"Congratulations to the General, congratulations to the General! The general can rest assured, Madame is not sick, but happy! After Cheng Yan took the pulse, he stood up and bowed to Li Xin.

"Huh?!" Hearing this, Li Xin, who was in a hurry, was stunned.

"Congratulations to the general, you are about to become a father!" Lu'er was on the side, and at this time he also stepped forward to salute and said.

"I'm so stupid, Tingting is just like that, isn't it just happy? I should have thought of this a long time ago! Haha, I'm going to be a dad! I'm going to be a dad! Li Xin came back to his senses at this time, couldn't help patting his head, and then showed a smirk, muttering to himself.

On the bed, Zhou Ting was also very excited after hearing the news. After all, she and Li Xin have been married for more than a year, and now if there is happiness, she can finally rest assured.

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general!" After hearing the news, the people in the palace rushed over to congratulate Li Xin.

"Good, good! Today is a day of great joy, and everyone will be rewarded! Li Xin was very happy, waved his hand, and was ready to have fun with everyone!

"Thank you, General!" Isn't everyone just for a reward, and they are all clever thanks at this time.

"By the way, you guys hurry up and clean up the house! Anything that is easy to bump into, such as the steps on the road! O stones on the ground! What a rockery in the garden! And the corners of this table, the dry branches and so on outside, all of them are taken care of for me, and those that should be wrapped are wrapped, and those that can be moved are moved! In particular, the garden pond was fenced off by me, so that the lady would not bump into it when she walked! Li Xin has no experience as a father, and after thinking about it for a while, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly ordered the government order.

"Don't worry, the general will arrange it immediately!" The government commander hurriedly replied, Madame is happy, it is the first important thing for everyone in the house! Absolutely not to be overlooked!

"And Lu'er, from today on, you have to follow Madame all the time, serving her anytime and anywhere. Especially when the weather is cold, don't let your wife catch a cold! If something goes wrong with Madame, I'll have to ask you when the time comes! After thinking about it carefully, Li Xin specially instructed Lu'er again.

"What the general said is that the slave will definitely serve the lady!" Although Lu'er is called a servant, Zhou Ting has always treated her very well, and the two are like sisters. Therefore, Zhou Ting's matter, she is naturally very concerned.

"Madame, recuperate at home, and do not run around as you did before. Leave all the things you have in your hands to someone else to do. Anyway, with your status, it's not appropriate to do those things anymore! Recuperate at home, so that our children can be born safely! After explaining the people below, Li Xin explained to Zhou Ting again.

"Don't worry, the concubine understands it! Besides, the concubine is not a three-year-old child, how can she be so ignorant! Seeing what Li Xin did, Zhou Ting only felt like she was soaked in honey in her heart, but seeing him so cautious, she felt a little funny, so she had to nod her head.

An ordinary Lantern Festival actually had such a huge surprise, which really caught Li Xin off guard. I thought that in the near future, there will be a little life in the family, and my family will be truly complete!!

As soon as he thought of this, he only felt that his whole person was full of energy. It's as if the life in front of me is suddenly full of sunshine, and the road in front of you is smooth, and there is hope everywhere.

"You have to work hard for my son! Don't say anything, go back to work overtime! Coming out of the room, Li Xin only felt that there seemed to be a raging flame burning on his body, and any cold and sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and he turned around and walked towards the study.
