The family had a New Year's dinner, and this kind of scene was the first time to experience it. In the Wang family, there are also every year, but after all, it is not their own home.

Although Xie Shence is more cordial to the Wang family than to the Xie family from the bottom of his heart, such a New Year's dinner is the New Year's dinner of his clan after all, and there is no reason not to pay attention to it and not be excited.

The Xie family is small, and four large round tables are set up in a hall, and they just finish sitting. But the number "four" was unlucky, so another table was added, and a table was set up for the faithful servant.

Xie Shence admired the round table for the New Year's dinner, after all, he was used to having a round table dinner. At this time, the customs were civilized, and it was acceptable for men and women to share the table. Not to mention this kind of round table eating.

Before serving the table, Caiyi pulled Xie Shence aside and whispered to Xie Shence: "Young master, you pay attention later, I wrapped the prison pill with black silk thread on the outside, and there are lottery coins inside."

If you eat a prison pill wrapped with a color coin, it means that the new year will be lucky, and it is a symbol of prosperity and wealth.

Xie Shence was amused when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What are you telling me about this, even if I know the marks you made, how can you guarantee that the prison pills you wrapped will definitely be fished into my bowl Young Master?"

When Caiyi heard this, she thought of something inconsiderate, blushed and stomped her feet and hurriedly said, "Then, what can I do about this?"

Xie Shence looked at his anxious appearance and said, "Can you just go and give it to me?"

Caiyi suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Well, well! After a while, I will go and tell Aunt Wang, I will come out of the bowl of prison pills of the young master. ”

Xie Shence looked at her leaving, shook his head and smiled, and turned into the hall.

Xie Shence and Xie Shenwei naturally sat at the main table, and at the same table were the old lady and the old lady who sat in the first place, followed by Uncle Xie and Second Master Xie, the eldest aunt and Sima's family, and at the bottom were Xie Shenwei and Xie Shence.

Then the remaining three tables sat the female dependents who had not left the cabinet, a group of concubines of Uncle Xie, and the daughter and son-in-law who returned to their parents' house for the New Year, etc., and the bottom table was the old servant of the Xie family, because of Xie Shence's relationship, the two maids were also fortunate to be on the table this year.

Uncle Xie peeked at the cheat sheet in his hand and recited a year-end summary to make the beginning, and then Xie Erye expressed his New Year's outlook, and finally the old lady gave an order, and the New Year's dinner was vigorously launched.

Different from the Wang family's strict New Year's dinner, the Xie family's New Year's dinner is extremely casual and lively, not only can you exchange cups and lamps during the banquet, but you can also drink at the table with permission, but the main members of the Xie family cannot drink more, because according to custom, the Xie family has to change into court clothes and go to the palace in the afternoon to participate in Chinese New Year's Eve.

So Xie Shence drank a few cups casually, and then sat on the table with Xie Shenwei and waited for the prison pill intently.

Soon the prison pills were served.

The old lady said: "As usual this year, whoever eats the most lottery coins will be rewarded for his old body!"

So after a burst of cheers, everyone began to bury their heads in eating dumplings.

Xie Shence looked at the bowl of dumplings brought by Caiyi, and there was a drum in his heart: If this girl fished a bowl of lottery coin pills for me, would the cheating be too obvious.

Pretending to flick the bowl in front of him casually, Xie Shence sighed in his heart: Fortunately, even if that girl has brains, there are only three or four bowls, which is not too much.

A bowl of ten prison pills means perfect. The proportion of three or four percent is not too outrageous, and it is extremely high.

After thanking Shence for eating the first one, someone shouted, "I got one!" ”

It turned out to be three, uh, fourth cousin, right? Ate the first one.

The old lady smiled and said, "Okay! Five girls won the first prize! A pair of jade ruyi! ”

Xie Shence secretly felt weak: Okay, it turned out to be the fifth cousin

The fifth cousin received the reward with joy.

Then, the hall continued to hear the sound of surprise.

Xie Shence watched someone eat a steady stream of lottery coins, and hurriedly ate a marked one, pretending to win the lottery.

Then, Xie Shence was embarrassed to eat, because the rest was all marked!

I know that the results of cheating can't be too good, and if it's too good, it will be suspected.

So while everyone was not paying attention, he quickly evened out a Xie Shenwei.

Xie Shenwei didn't notice it, and then immediately hit one.

Xie Shence felt much more comfortable.

Then Xie Shence ate two more in succession, two two, and three yuan!

The old lady was relieved, waved her hand, and gave a string of Buddhist beads in her hand to her precious grandson. aroused the envy of everyone.

Uncle Xie looked at the string of Qi Nan agarwood Buddha beads with smooth glaze, and his eyes were about to fall into the bowl. That string of beads is not simple! There are 14 in total, which means that Guanyin Bodhisattva has the same compassion as all sentient beings such as the Ten Directions, the Three Worlds, and the Six Realms, so that all sentient beings can obtain 14 fearless merits. And each Buddha bead is the size of a cat's eye, and has been twisted by the old lady day and night for more than 20 years, and has sung the merit scriptures that I don't know more than 100,000 times.

This string of Buddha beads is the Emperor Mingzong (the grandfather of the current emperor) to the six ancestors, the latter six ancestors to Zhiyong Zen Master, and the Zen master to the old Taijun, the world can be said to be extremely noble. Not to mention the value of the Buddha beads themselves, just the blessing of the scriptures of the old lady for 20 years is not an opportunity that can be obtained by virtue of the identity gate. What's more, it has also passed through the hands of the six ancestors and Zen master Zhiyong!

Such a string of Buddhist beads is exactly what a butcher like Xie Yi, whose hands are stained with countless blood, wants to get the most. No matter how much karma you kill, if you get such a Buddha bead, you can turn away your sins by merit, and you can get rid of them without falling into hell.

Of course, Xie Shence knew the preciousness of this string of Buddhist beads, so he took the Buddhist beads with excitement and hurriedly put them on his wrist: Just kidding, do you think I didn't see the most shameless saliva of the Xie family about to flow out?

This New Year's dinner, it is natural that Xie Shence became the biggest winner. Uncle Xie was not in good spirits and suddenly lost.

Of course, the noon New Year's dinner is for family reunion, and the Chinese New Year's Eve in the evening is the main event!

In the afternoon, the main members of the Xie family naturally changed into court clothes, the old Taijun, the eldest aunt and the Sima family, who were in the body, also changed into their own supplementary clothes, and the eldest sister Xie Shenpei also wore a grand dress. The family stood on top of the hall, holding a Xuanhe atmosphere.

At this time, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is not informal, and it is solemn and lively.

Xie Shence was naturally dressed in a black Tai Academy uniform, and what surprised Xie Shence was that Xie Shenwei was actually a military attache uniform of the fourth grade.

"Brother, when did you get the title of Miscellaneous Zhonglang General?"

Xie Shenwei was silent.

Uncle Xie interjected with a smile: "Yo he, it's amazing, wow, we finally have a general with the lowest rank in our family, oh no, it's not a general yet, isn't it?" I want to be Uncle Ben"

"Isn't there a lieutenant here?"

Xie Shenwei lightly interrupted Uncle Xie's words, and glanced at Xie Shence by the way.

Xie Shence was stunned and then angry: Can this be shot?

"Hehe, Dr. Ben, this Zhenwei lieutenant, is just a casual position, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!" Xie Shence pretended to be light-hearted, and by the way, he bit the word "Dr. Ben" heavily.

Xie Shenwei glanced at Xie Shence casually again, "So what?" Isn't clerical at home yet the lowest? ”

Uncle Xie smiled cheaply on the side: "Oh, wow, our family has finally come up with a civil official with the lowest rank!" ”

Xie Shence was indignant in his heart: Isn't it just a string of Buddhist beads? You can't ask for it yourself for 20 years, you can't blame me, I didn't rob it.

This is the strength of Xie Shenwei, he can always use the least and simplest words to defeat others or lead the water to the east.

Xie Shence really didn't want to stay here and listen to the shamelessness of two martial idiots. I can only blame myself for the lowest civilian and military titles in the Xie family.

Soon, the family got into the royal car and headed to the palace.

This is Xie Shence's third visit to the palace.

It was also the first time to enter the imperial city directly from the Xuanwu Gate. Under the leadership of the old lady, the three sisters and brothers passed through the Ningbi Pond through Taoguang Garden and came to the Wanshou Palace where the Queen Mother was located.

Xie Shence met the Queen Mother for the first time.

The Queen Mother was a very young old woman. The reason why I say this is because the Queen Mother looks really young. The old lady is over seventy years old, and she is already full of gorgeous hair, while the queen mother only has a little gray hair on her temples, and her face is wrinkled.

Xie Shence was amazed by the palace's ability to stay there.

Xie Shenpei and Xie Shenwei came every year, so the Queen Mother didn't say much to them, and directly asked a palace maid to invite Princess Wanting. Xie Shence couldn't help but secretly worry about Xie Shenwei.

was worried, and the queen mother asked: "Feng Zhi's appearance is really the true inheritance of the Taifu, and he is as humble as jade as the Taifu back then." Is there fifteen phoenixes? ”

Xie Shence replied respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, it has just passed the fifteenth year." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "I have long heard that you have made a marriage with the little girl of the Wang family, you have been in Huaiyang for the past ten years, and you get along with that little girl day and night, you must be a childhood sweetheart, and you will definitely be harmonious in the future." ”

Thank you Shence, why does the Queen Mother like to listen to people?

Xie Shence smiled shyly.

The Queen Mother said again: "I don't know when the girl from the Wang family will pass the door?" ”

Xie Shence's heart tightened, and he glanced at his grandmother, seeing that his grandmother didn't seem to hear this sentence at all, Xie Shence's heart was a little lost. Xie Shence noticed that Xie Shenwei's hand holding the cup beside him was also tightened.

However, this is something that cannot be avoided after all.

Xie Shence said honestly: "Back to the Queen Mother, I don't know about this matter. ”

The Queen Mother laughed, as if she hadn't heard Xie Shence's disrespectful words calling herself "I", and said: "You naturally don't know, Wen Zhao is your brother, he is not married yet, how can you marry a wife?" If you want the little girl of the Wang family to pass through the door, this matter depends on the meaning of the mourning family. ”

Xie Shence glanced at Xie Shenwei worriedly.

Xie Shenwei's face was expressionless.

The Queen Mother said: "Do you know why this matter depends on the meaning of the mourning family? ”

Xie Shence lowered his head and smiled bitterly, when he looked up, he was already calm, looked at the Queen Mother, shook his head, and then nodded again.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. Then he chatted goodbye to the old lady.

Xie Shence knew that there was no way back for Xie Shenwei to marry Princess Wanting, unless Xie Shenwei dared to resist the decree.

Xie Shenwei's knuckles were slightly white, but there was still no expression on his face, and even his breathing was not disturbed in the slightest. Xie Shenwei was calm.

Xie Shence bet that Xie Shenwei's pulse and heartbeat would not become faster at this time.

Xie Shence touched Xie Shenwei with his elbow a little worried, Xie Shenwei replied to him with an indifferent expression, and Xie Shence's heart was put down.

After a while, Princess Wanting came happily.

Princess Wanting happily asked the Queen Mother for her decree and took the Xie brothers to the Queen's Yongchun Palace.

Xie Shence was liberated, and finally there was no need to listen to the two elders say some Buddhist scriptures here, Xie Shence had already listened to Buddhist scriptures and heard vomiting in Chuzhou.

Xie Shence was liberated, but Xie Shenwei went to prison.

Hey? What about thank God Pei? Oh, forgive me for not mentioning it, she is still chatting with the old lady and the queen mother in the Wanshou Palace
