They stood on the verandah for a long time, and did not return to the house until the rough maids had set off all the fireworks of the cannons. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, it was late at night, close to ugly, although I had said before, wait for the child to be after the wine order, but after watching the fireworks come back, I lost this interest, everyone just got together to talk, occasionally eat wine, only a few maids are playing thumb battles, pitching pots and other simple and refreshing wine orders.

In this way, the observance lasted for another hour, and in the end, Jia Lan was young, and fell asleep beside his mother, Li Kun got up to say goodbye, and everyone also made speeches, and the halo of the lamp flowed all the way from Yihong Courtyard to all corners of the garden.

The night passed.

The next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was very busy, greeting the elders, and the peers also paid New Year's greetings to each other.

Jia Wei got up early in the morning, and under the service of the attackers, he freshened up, dined, dressed up, and first went to the two mansions to worship a circle, including grandmother, parents, Jia Yu, Mrs. Xing's uncles and aunts, Aunt Xue, and other elders, as well as Jia Lian and his wife, Jia Zhen and his wife, Xue Pan, Baochai, and Yingchun, all of whom were older than others.

As for those aunts, such as his father Jia Zheng's two aunts, Aunt Da Zhou and Aunt Xiao Zhou, he naturally doesn't have to go to pay New Year's greetings, after all, when it comes to dignity and humility, his status as a young master is higher than that of these aunts, and the rules are like this, so he doesn't need to deliberately violate them.

Of course, when it comes to rules, these aunts don't have to take the initiative to come over to greet him, the young master.

For this kind of situation, the usual practice of high-ranking families is that during this period of the New Year's Festival, the two parties happen to meet, and they greet each other for the New Year, in short, the way seems casual and natural.

Because Jia Wei will go to Jia's mother's house to eat almost every night, and Aunt Da Zhou and Aunt Xiao Zhou will go to Jia's mother's house with Mrs. Wang to serve and dine almost every night, so there are a lot of opportunities to meet, and the other aunts are different, needless to say from Ningfu, only Rongfu, Jia Yu's aunts, there are not many opportunities to meet, and they can't see each other a few times all year round on weekdays, and there is no difference between the big New Year's Day, so it is difficult to say that they can worship each other for a New Year.

Jia Wei doesn't care, the New Year's greetings between these aunts are more out of etiquette than others, and most of them are polite, of course, Aunt Xiao Zhou is an exception, the other party became his father and aunt, in fact, it was his idea, so there was a layer of cause and effect, and that time because of Jia Zheng's official business, she ran over to ask him for help, after the matter was resolved, the relationship between the two sides was close, and after that, her younger brother Zhou Yun followed him to make a personal follower, and the relationship was even more different. It's a pleasure for each other.

Return to Yee Hong Courtyard.

While he was out, there was already a crowd of people waiting here.

Jia Cong, Xichun, Jia Rong and several of Jia Rong's wives and concubines, a few maids in Mrs. Wang's house, several maids in Sister Feng's house including Ping'er, several maids in Jia's mother's house, mandarin ducks, jade, glass, parrots, etc. are also there.

These people are either the young ones in the same generation, or the younger generations and the good maids of other houses, so they all take the initiative to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings.

In the sound of New Year's greetings, Jia Wei sent out the New Year's money, everyone sat down to talk, and after a while, Jia Cong, Jia Rong and several of Jia Rong's wives and concubines left, and the rest of the people were not in a hurry to leave, and stayed here to talk.

One after another, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Li Kun also arrived, and in the end, Baochai, Baoqin, and Xing Xiuyan came in together, and they came neatly.

Baochai, Baoqin sisters, Jia Wei went to Aunt Xue's courtyard to pay New Year's greetings before, everyone had met, and Jia Wei also sent a New Year's deposit money to Baoqin.

But Xing Xiuyan and Jia Wei went to Mrs. Xing's courtyard but didn't see it, and asked, but they also went to the elders everywhere to pay New Year's greetings, so they missed it in the second place, and at this time the other party arrived with Baochai and Baoqin, and there was no need to guess, but she knew that she had turned around in the two mansions, and finally went to Aunt Xue's courtyard to pay New Year's greetings.

After all, she has promised Xue Zhen now, although she has not yet made up her mind, but the Xue family has a different meaning to her.

After going around the two mansions and finally going to Aunt Xue's courtyard, this kind of arrangement is deliberate, it is nothing more than to relax and stay for a while, and talk to Aunt Xue, Baochai, and Baoqin.

The topic is warm, when the three of them did not arrive, it was one topic after another, and now there are three of them, and the topics are endless.

Among these topics, such as which family and which family came to pay New Year's greetings, and which house in the house went to pay New Year's greetings, such topics accounted for most of them.

The customs in Beijing, relatives and friends, and the first day of the New Year are also common.

This morning, there are many people who come to pay New Year's greetings, some come directly to the door, and some order the people to hold the name of the New Year, the same is true of the Jia family, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and other family heads, accepted the New Year's greetings from the younger generations in the house, and also took the car to the outside to go around, to some houses to pay New Year's greetings, but in most cases, it is only to order the people to hold the name of the New Year.

Several heads of the Jia family went out today, and they came directly to pay New Year's greetings, including several nobles of the world friends.

Such as Zhenguo Gong, Liguo Gong, Pingyang Hou, Dingyuan Hou, Feng Fu and so on.

When several heads of the family went out, Jia Zheng was going to take Jia Wei with him, so that Jia Wei found an excuse to hide, and now Jia Wei stayed in the courtyard, talking with the sisters, Baochai and Daiyu were quite happy, thinking carefully, it was best for Jia Wei not to go, so as to save meeting Liu Yuling, Feng Xiaoxiao, Dong Qin or something.

After chatting about such topics, Baochai mentioned that she would go to the palace with her mother tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings.

The palace is Aunt Xue's mother's house, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she wants to pass.

Following Baochai's words, Jia Wei also said, go to the palace with his parents tomorrow.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are sisters, and they will definitely go back to their parents' house together tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings, and naturally Jia Lian and Sister Feng will go together.

Others can push and push, and hide if they can, but tomorrow when they go to the palace with their parents to pay New Year's greetings, they can't push or hide, so Jia Wei agreed early.

Saying this, as if there was the same topic, the two sisters Baochai and Baoqin chatted with Jia Wei with a smile, chatted for a while, Jia Wei noticed that Daiyu was a little sullen from the corner of his eyes, and then guessed the reason, Daiyu has lost her hold since she was a child, living here, homeless, and has always been sensitive to such topics.

Baochai and Baoqin said it well, but Jia Wei actually avoided talking about it, first confused, and then looked at it, and then understood, Baoqin couldn't help but smile, but Baochai had a complicated expression.
