It's Chinese New Year's Eve again, Li Zhang's family of three, plus the Tanuki family to keep the New Year, Xiuxiu and Wild Dog went to Mrs. Xu, Huozi are also married, as for Douzi and Ugly Niang, they are now older, and their group of people who have not yet become relatives will run to Huizhai to eat New Year's wine every year, sometimes Li Zhang will also go to join in the fun, but now that he has a daughter, he also stays at home more.

"Big brother, when will my mansion be built, Miaoyuan has already moved in, you saw her proud appearance yesterday, it's so annoying!" At this time, the raccoon dog was a little angry and wrapped the dumplings, and the dumplings that should have been crescent-shaped were about to be kneaded into noodles.

Making dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve is still a custom brought by Li Zhang from later generations, in fact, the Song Dynasty did not pay much attention to Chinese New Year's Eve, and the custom of eating dumplings was not common, more to drink New Year's wine on Chinese New Year's Eve, but Li Zhang didn't care about these, and the family chatted around around on Chinese New Year's Eve while making dumplings, and then ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner lively, which was simply very happy.

"Yesterday was Miaoyuan's housewarming banquet, of course it was going to be lively, and she only invited our family, and I didn't see her anything proud from beginning to end?" Li Zhang also said helplessly when he heard this, Miao Yuan moved into the princess's mansion and learned from others to set up a housewarming banquet, but she knew too few people, and most of them couldn't come out of the palace, so she could only invite Li Zhang's family to fill the scene.

"Why not, I can't get used to her proud appearance, isn't it just that she has her own princess mansion a little earlier than me, I don't care, I must live in the princess's mansion next year, and I will put on a more lively housewarming banquet, and then I will be angry with her!" Tanuki grabbed Li Zhang's arm at this time and said coquettishly, and in the end, she showed a vicious expression, it seemed that she was going to be on a par with Miao Yuan in her life.

"I have already asked the officials who supervised the construction, according to them, although the area of your princess's mansion is not very large, but because the original building needs to be demolished and rebuilt, it is estimated that it will take at least half a year to build, so calculated, it is estimated that you can almost live in it around the Mid-Autumn Festival next year." Li Zhang roughly estimated.

"If you have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival, won't that girl Miaoyuan be proud for eight months?" Tanuki couldn't help but wail when she heard this, and the thought of waiting for eight months made her almost desperate.

"Why did I mess with you again, even saying bad things about me behind my back?" As soon as Tanuki'er's words fell, I heard a crisp voice outside the door, and then I saw Miao Yuan walking in, only to see her wearing a cyan long skirt and a white fox shawl, and the white fur set off her more bright and elegant, and even Li Zhang was stunned.

However, Li Zhang quickly looked at Qingori next to him with a weak heart, and found that Qingori just glanced at him lightly, and then beckoned Miaoyuan to sit down and help make dumplings, which made Li Zhang's old face red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Miaoyuan again.

"What are you doing here?" Tanuki looked at Miao Yuan who came in but asked in an unkind tone, because in her opinion, Chinese New Year's Eve was to reunite the family, and Miao Yuan was not their family at all.

"What are you doing again?" Miao Yuan asked unceremoniously, she and Tanuki are sisters, so in her opinion, Tanuki can come and she can come.

"I ...... I'm different from you, where is my eldest brother, that's my home! Of course, Tanuki understood what Miaoyuan meant, but she retorted unceremoniously, although she was only Li Zhang's cousin by blood, emotionally speaking, she still regarded Li Zhang as her own eldest brother, and even Zhao Zhen, the brother of the same mother, was ranked behind Li Zhang.

"What's the difference, if you can come, I can come!" Miao Yuan replied confidently again.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel, it's the New Year today, you two don't want to quarrel about the New Year, right?" Qingori finally couldn't stand it at this time and persuaded her, and this time she finally let Tanuki and Miaoyuan stop talking.

However, although there was no quarrel, the two quickly quarreled again because of the dumplings, you rob my dough and I rob your filling, anyway, there was no idle time for a while, and finally Qingori simply sat between the two of them, and she was responsible for rolling the skin, and the two of them and Li Zhang were responsible for the bag, which finally calmed down the open and secret struggle between the two.

However, just as Miao Yuan and Tanuki were honest, they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, Li Zhang turned his head to look when he heard the sound, only to see Yan Niang wearing a red dress actually walked in, which made him stunned for a moment and asked, "Yan Niang, why are you here?" ”

"I asked Yan Niang to come!" didn't expect Yan Niang to answer, but Qingzhi next to her spoke for her, which made Li Zhang stunned again.

"My sister saw that I was too lonely for the New Year alone, so I asked me to come and have a good time, I hope you don't be weird, big brother!" Yan Niang also smiled at Li Zhangyan at this time, she became familiar with her family, and began to call Li Zhang her eldest brother like others.

"No...... No wonder, you can sit down too! Li Zhang was uncomfortable under Yan Niang's gaze, and said with an embarrassed smile at the moment, and then lowered his head and concentrated on making dumplings, the woman's mind was too difficult to guess, so he had given up.

"Sister Yan Niang, you came just in time, come and sit next to me to help me roll the skin, my sister-in-law is rolling too slowly." Tanuki also opened her mouth to greet at this time, Yan Niang was also very happy to wash her hands and sit down next to Tanuki to help roll the skin, and by the way, she secretly glanced at Miaoyuan next to her.

Miao Yuan was also looking at Yan Niang at this time, and also looked at Qingori who was rolling her skin with her head down, and then a shallow smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she had guessed something, but she didn't say anything, but chatted with Yan Niang affectionately.

Originally, the family happily made dumplings, but with the arrival of Miaoyuan and Yan Niang, Li Zhang had a feeling of sitting on pins and needles, and finally finished wrapping the dumplings, taking advantage of the opportunity to wash his hands, Li Zhang immediately ran to his daughter to play safely, leaving them a few women to chat, and after leaving these women, Li Zhang felt much more relaxed.

But did not wait for Li Zhang to relax for too long, soon the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was ready, Li Zhang hugged Enron and several women to eat and chat together, although on the surface several women got along very well, and the chat was also very lively, but Li Zhang always had a not very good premonition, like a bomb around him that would explode at any time, and finally he could only hold the daughter in his arms, and only from his daughter could he feel some comfort.

On the third day after Chinese New Year's Eve, a holy decree from Zhao Zhen was issued, summoning Li Di, who was in Heyang, to return to Beijing as a senior scholar and sentenced to Shangshudu Province.
