Chapter 34: Chinese New Year
Finally, the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Gao Mingxuan's letter was sent back to the mansion, one of which was addressed to Liu Yingxue, and the moment she received the family letter, she opened the letter with trembling hands, looked at the white paper and black words in the letter, and a scent of ink rushed to her face.
His handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and Liu Yingxue could recognize it at a glance, and it was written in the letter that Gao Mingxuan stayed with the prince, and they stayed in Ancheng for the time being, and they are currently in a standoff.
After she finished reading the letter, she carefully put it away and put it in the cabinet, she was like eating candied fruit, her heart was sweet, and she said happily to Xiaocui: "My cousin sent me a letter, fortunately he is safe and sound, and I can rest assured." ”
Xiao Cui was also relieved for her, clapped her hands and said, "The young master is safe now, and now the young lady can sleep peacefully." ”
She lowered her head and suddenly sighed: "I don't know when I will see my cousin again, but it's only been a few months, but I feel like a few years have passed." ”
"Miss Cousin, the young master will come back, don't worry." Xiao Cui comforted softly on the side.
Liu Yingxue temporarily stopped thinking about him, after all, the New Year still has to be passed, the Gao family's New Year is different from her own house, everyone did not get together for the New Year, or the people in the big house were together as usual, and she and Mrs. Gao spent the New Year alone, she also wanted to be leisurely, and no one gossiped in her ears.
She and Xiaocui had already prepared to eat, and before that, she secretly brewed a little rice wine, and there were no green plums in the cold winter, and they had to make do with rice wine.
The master and servant put the food bought outside the mansion on the plate one by one, fragrant sweet and sour fish, grilled crispy duck, and crispy peanuts and other scattered vegetarian dishes.
"We have to have more than every year." She sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Xiao Cui.
The white and tender fish meat tasted crispy and delicious, Liu Yingxue drank a small glass of rice wine, and the master and servant ate happily, and the sound of firecrackers suddenly came from outside, crackling into a ball.
She has always liked the New Year, that is, she was a little flustered by this firecracker, her brothers would help her cover her ears, laughing at her timidity like a rabbit, suddenly she was a little distracted, fell into the memories of the past, and forgot to cover her ears for a while, as if the sound of firecrackers is no longer terrible.
"Miss Cousin, do you want to see the fireworks?" Xiao Cui took a sip of wine and asked with a smile.
Liu Yingxue came back to her senses and shook her head: "I don't want to watch the fireworks, now that the country is ruined, I really don't have this thought, although Lingyang City is still safe now, it is difficult to say next year." ”
What she minds in her heart, she can't fit into the joy of the New Year, this is her saddest year, and she doesn't have a loved one by her side.
"Miss Cousin, we don't want those sad things anymore, we will definitely get better next year." Xiao Cui didn't clip a piece of fish to her.
Because of drinking, Xiao Cui's cheeks looked red and cute, and her eyes were full of hope.
Liu Yingxue patted her mouth lightly, and smiled and punished herself: "I'm talking about frustration, don't go to your heart." ”
In the dull thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Yingxue slept exceptionally early this night, and her head was a little groggy after drinking rice wine, and she couldn't help but think of the words borrowing wine to eliminate her worries.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Xiao Cui brought a bowl of hot Lantern Festival with a smile, white and round, which looked particularly appetizing.
"Miss Cousin, this is what the old lady asked the slave to send to you." Xiao Cui put the Lantern Festival on the table.
She stared at this bowl of Lantern Festival in flattery, and was very surprised in her heart.
