In the easternmost courtyard of Yefu, there is only one side room for storing groceries, and there is also a dry well in the courtyard. Yuanhang stood by the well and looked to the east, for his hometown was to the east. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I don't know if I can return to modern times, and I don't know how my parents are now. Every festive season, I miss my relatives and have a homesick mood for the first time. Thinking about it, the voyage shed tears, and the sky was filled with stars and snowflakes.

"Young master, why are you here, the little one has been looking for you for a long time." Tang Ling ran in panting.

"Tang Ling, what's the matter?" Yuanhang didn't want others to see his tears, so he didn't look back, and hurriedly wiped away his tears and asked.

"Sir, please go to the living room, and I'm going to give a reward to the people." Tang Ling replied while standing behind Yuanhang.

"Oh, yes, it's the New Year, everyone has worked hard for a year, it's time to take a good rest, go." Yuanhang turned around and walked towards the living room with Tang Ling.

In the living room, Tang Yuanwai and several ladies sat on the chairs, Daddy Chen's family sat on the left side, graceful, the old housekeeper sat on the right, Qinghe stood behind the first chair on the right, and dozens of maids stood in the courtyard.

Yuanhang entered the living room to give Tang Yuanwai and a few aunts a salute, nodded to Father Chen, and then walked to the first chair on the right and sat down.

"Yuanhang, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I will call all the people here, you can give them a reward, so that everyone can have a good New Year." Tang Yuanwai said to Yuanhang with a happy face.

"It's all in your hands." Sail forward and owe your way.

"No, no. Now it's in Yefu, and it's up to you to distribute it. Tang Yuanwai smiled and waved his hand, wanting to take this opportunity to consolidate the position of Yuanhang in the hearts of his subordinates.

Yuan Hang was no longer polite, stood up and walked to the door of the living room, looked at the people in the courtyard and said aloud: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I thank you all for your hard work in this year, you have all worked hard." After speaking, he sailed deeply to his subordinates.

Seeing that Yuanhang was like this, the people in the courtyard hurriedly replied: "The young master has tormented the minions." ”

Seeing that Yuanhang could give a salute to his subordinates, Tang Yuan couldn't help but appreciate Yuanhang even more and nodded.

"Everyone has a good rest today, and there is no need to work. The first-class family members, the maids will each be rewarded with two taels of silver, and the rest will be rewarded with one tael of silver. Yuanhang turned around and said: "Yingyue has a meritorious service to Miss Yingyue, and she will be rewarded with five taels of silver." ”

Yingyue's little face bloomed after hearing this, and she hurriedly stepped forward to kneel down to thank Yuanhang. The voyage went over to help Yingyue up, and whispered in his ear: "I'll go to the young lady's place in the future......"

Yingyue smiled and nodded vigorously.

"Young master, young master, haven't you rewarded me yet?" Tang Ling saw that he didn't have his own share, so he hurriedly said.

"I can forget you." Yuanhang glanced at him and smiled: "Five taels of silver." ”

"Thank you, young master, the little one will do his best and die." Tang Ling had already learned seven or eight of the skills of the voyage, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

"Alright, alright, get out of the way." Yuanhang waved his hand.

"Haha......" everyone laughed.

"Yuanhang, I will ask my subordinates to clean the hall and set up a banquet there, and we will have fun with our subordinates tonight, okay?" Wanyue saw that the voyage had finished rewarding the next person, so she interjected and asked.

"Well, it's up to you to decide what to do in the house." Yuanhang nodded.

"Yuanhang, come over in the afternoon, I have something to discuss with you." Tang Yuanwai said after laughing.

"Yes." The voyage owes the way.

After rewarding the next person, Yuanhang returned to the room, and Qinghe followed. The small mouth pouted, and he stood beside Yuanhang and did not make a sound.

"Hehe, what's wrong again?" Yuanhang looked at Qinghe and seemed to be unhappy, and he didn't know where he went wrong.

"You rewarded them just now, why don't you have mine." Qinghe turned around and asked unhappily.

"I'm rewarding all the subordinates."

"Aren't I your maid now?" Qinghe raised his voice and said angrily.

"It's different, I never treated you like a maid." Yuanhang leaned over and laughed and said, "You're going to give me a fat boy." ”

"You ......" Although Qinghe was always teased by Yuanhang, he was so direct, he still lowered his head with a red face that Qinghe said. But my heart is as sweet as eating honey.

"Qinghe, I'll rest for a while, and call me up in an hour." Yuanhang felt a little sleepy, so he stopped laughing with her and walked straight to the bedside.

"Well, you go to sleep, take off your clothes and I'll wash them." Qinghe followed and reached out to help Yuanhang undress.

"I'll go to see my lord in a while, and tell him that I'll marry you together after the New Year, so that you have an identity, and you don't need to work so hard." Yuanhang held Qinghe's hand and said. Now Qinghe's identity is still a maid, and it is impossible to equip her with a maid to use.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. I am willing to serve you. Qinghe smiled, withdrew his hand, and walked out with his clothes.

It was already afternoon after waking up from Yuanhang, and he got up to see Tang Yuanwai. I didn't see a few people along the way, maybe I went out to buy items during the holidays.

Walking into the courtyard outside the Tang Yuan, someone came up to tell the old man of Yuanhang to go to Wanyue. So the voyage turned to the graceful courtyard again.

The father and daughter were playing chess, and Yingyue saw the voyage coming, and was busy making tea after the voyage was blessed. The attitude towards the voyage has taken a big turn.

"The voyage is coming, sit down." Tang Yuanwai said as he fell.

"It's okay, sir, yours are yours, I'll watch." Yuanhang stood at the table with a teacup and watched chess.

"Don't play first, Wanyue, I'll talk to Yuanhang about something, don't move this game of chess, I'll win soon." Tang Yuanwai said to Wanyu.

"Father said big things, obviously he was going to lose, hehe." Wanyu smiled and stood up, nodded to the voyage, and went into the inner room.

Seeing that he was leaving, Tang Yuan waved to Yuanhang, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

"Thank you, sir." Yuanhang walked over and sat down.

"Yuanhang, your aunt said that the eighteenth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and she wants to give you an appointment to complete the marriage, what do you think?" Tang Yuanwai drank tea and asked about the voyage.

"Ah, this ...... So fast! Although Yuanhang thought that it would be a matter of marriage for Tang Yuan to find him, he didn't expect it to be so urgent.

Wanyo was hiding in the inner room and eavesdropping on their conversation, and she was both happy and shy when she heard that her father had set a wedding date. Suddenly, when I heard Yuanhang speak, I couldn't help but be shocked. Wouldn't the voyage be willing to marry himself?

"Oh? Do you think the date is too close? Tang Yuanwai put down the teacup and asked.

"Master, I'm just in a hurry. Wanyue and I have long been happy with each other, and since the master has decided, the little nephew obeys the order. Yuanhang stood up and saluted Tang Yuanwai.

"Haha, okay, then settle." Tang Yuan laughed happily after hearing this. Wanyue only felt that her cheeks were hot in the house, but she was also extremely happy.

"Master, there is something I have to tell you." Yuanhang said.

"What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Tang Yuanwai was still laughing.

"Qinghe's girl sold herself to me and took good care of me. Do so to me, and I will fail her. So please ask the lord to agree and marry Qinghe together. Yuanhang looked at Tang Yuanwai and said.

"Oh, that's it." Tang Yuanwai got up and paced, thought for a while and said: "The voyage is affectionate and righteous, and if you can do this to the maid, you will not live up to the grace." Since you say so, let's marry and enter the door together. However, Wanyue must be the main room, and Qinghe must be the concubine. ”

"Master, the little nephew feels that although there is a distinction between high and low status, the love between husband and wife is equally equal. So the women I marry are equal wives and concubines, I don't know if it's okay? Although the voyage is a request for instructions, the firm words have already indicated that unless this is the case, no one will marry.

"What? Are they all wives? Tang Yuanwai was stunned for a moment and said: "Voyage, the wife is also divided into a regular wife and a flat wife." There is still a distinction. ”

"Master, what I mean is that they are called sisters, equal status, and are all wives." Yuanhang said clearly.

"This ......" Tang Yuanwai was a little angry, his daughter is a young lady, how can she be on the same level as a maid.

Yuanhang saw that Tang Yuanwai was a little displeased, and then said: "Don't worry, Master, Yuanhang will use his life to protect them, and will not let them be wronged at all." ”

"Well, let's do it first, you go back first, and we'll discuss it in the evening." Tang Yuanwai didn't know what he meant by the grace, so he had to excuse himself and say.

After Yuanhang got up and said goodbye, Tang Yuanwai turned around and shouted, "Wanyue, you come out." ”

Wanyue walked slowly out of the inner room.

"You heard it all, Yuanhang still has that maid in his heart. And to be a wife like you, alas! Tang Yuanwai sighed and said.

"Father doesn't have to be angry." Wanyue walked over and beat Tang Yuanwai's back and said: "Yuanhang is no better than others, and it is an honor for my daughter to marry him." He always had a lot of different ideas, but he always had his own reasoning. Moreover, Qinghe and I get along like sisters, and my daughter is willing to serve him with Qinghe. The more she spoke, the quieter she became.

"Well, since you agreed, let's settle it." Tang Yuan agreed politely and said no more.

Yuan Hang back to the room, Qinghe is chatting with Liqiu. Yuanhang told the conversation between himself and the master, Qinghe lowered his head with a red face, but his heart was happy. It's just that none of them noticed that when they heard that Yuanhang was about to marry their second daughter, the corners of Liqiu's mouth smiled bitterly.

In the evening, the Ye Mansion held a banquet, and the people in the house came to the hall, and a total of five tables were set up. Today, on the last day of the new year, everyone is happy. The old man made an exception and allowed Qinghe, Yingyue, Tang Ling and others to also sit at the table.

After everyone was seated, Tang Yuan stood up from his seat.

"Everyone, today's banquet is not only a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but also a wedding banquet." Tang Yuanwai looked at the voyage and said: "I have set it for the eighteenth day of the first month, for the voyage and grace, Qinghe will hold a big wedding. ”

The audience applauded.

"So everyone drinks tonight, and no one is allowed to go back until they get drunk, haha." Tang Yuanwai was extremely happy, and said loudly with a wine glass.

Yuanhang picked up the wine glass, stood up, walked between Tang Yuanwai and Father Chen, and said, "Little nephew, I will give the second elder a glass first." ”

Seeing this, Father Chen also got up and stood up.

"That day, my little nephew fell into the river, and if it wasn't for the old man who rescued me, I would have lost my life. Since then, I have been in Luzhou, and if my lord hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't have been where I am today. Only this wine respects the two elders, and I wish you happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and a longevity than the old man of Nanshan. Smile and drink it all first.

Tang Yuanwai and Father Chen laughed and knocked down the wine glasses, and also drank the wine.

The voyage will be full of wine and go to grace and green lotus. When the two daughters saw the voyage coming, they were all shy.

"This cup is for you." Yuanhang looked at Qinghe on the left and Wanyu on the right and said: "In the future, whether we are prosperous and rich, or poor and destitute, we will never leave and walk together." After Yuanhang finished speaking, he leaned his head between the two daughters, and the two daughters thought that Yuanhang had something confidential and leaned their heads over. Yuanhang whispered: "Whoever gives birth to a son for me first, this young master will be rewarded." ”

The two girls suddenly blushed, glanced at each other and quickly lowered their heads.

Yuanhang walked to Liqiu again and said: "Thank you, without you, there would be no restaurant today's ......."

Liqiu also raised his glass and said, "Congratulations to Brother Ye on his wedding." With that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Liqiu drank it, so he drank it too.

Everyone was happy and blessed each other for the New Year. Only Liqiu was unusual, drinking cup after cup, and after a while, he fell drunk on the table. Wanyue hurriedly asked the maid to help Liqiu down first. Seeing his daughter like this, Father Chen sighed and shook his head after looking at the voyage drinking with the people at the other table. He had already read his daughter's thoughts.
