Therefore, I sent a message to let the ladies and children go back to rest if they are tired, and if they are not tired, they can go to the main courtyard to open another seat, and they will be more comfortable.

The men have to stay here to keep the New Year, so naturally they can't leave.

Tired for such a day, who doesn't want to go home quickly to rest, the ladies have said goodbye, Gao is also too tired, go back to the courtyard and lie down, otherwise tomorrow is the first day of the new year, I have to go into the palace to invite An Chaohe, I am afraid that I will not be able to get up.

As soon as the female dependents left, the atmosphere was even more relaxed, and they directly removed the table and replaced it with a new one, and the men in the family, in addition to the three brothers Song Hong, there were more than a dozen people who were heavy on the characters.

A few young and weak ones were ordered by Song Hong to let people take them down to rest, and the others honestly accompanied the three brothers to gossip.

Although it is a common saying, what can the three brothers say? Speaking of the weather, as well as the New Year's wine under this big year, it is impossible to avoid the relationship between the court and officials.

Other people have listened to it for so many years, and they are tired of hearing it, but who did the emperor reward this year? Or Song Bi said a few jokes about the officialdom of Zhili.

Occasionally, Song Xian also said two jokes about the officials, all of which were superficial and stopping, and there was no charter, one moment it was said that it was in the palace, and the other time it was thousands of miles away.

A few brothers sitting around, just bored, you look at me, I look at you, squeezing eyebrows.

Only Song Chongjin sat steadily, listening to the gossip of the three brothers word for word, although there were many things he didn't quite understand, but he kept it firmly in his heart.

He knows that although he has some talent, what he lacks most is connections and understanding of officialdom.

Now for the rest of the Song family, it is just a tired chatter, and for him, it is indeed a rare source of information.

Song Chongjin's appearance, naturally did not escape the eyes of Song Hong's three brothers, Song Bi glanced at Song Chongjin with complicated eyes, did not speak, Song Xian smiled, and raised his glass at Song Hong: "Congratulations to the eldest brother, there is a successor."

The sound was not loud, and the brothers heard it.

Song Hongmei raised his glass and touched it with Song Xian, and the brothers were silently depressed.

Here, Wang Yongzhu helped Mrs. Zhang back to the courtyard.

The courtyard was also lit up with lanterns.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Mrs. Ding had already prepared a table of food, all kinds of rare fruits from the mountains, and some preserved fruits and pastries.

Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang are okay, in previous years, during the Chinese New Year, in Qilidun, the women in the family had to be busy from the previous month to prepare New Year's goods.

Now that I have arrived at the Guogong Mansion, I only need to give an order to do anything, and someone will naturally do it.

Although Wang Yongzhu went to the ancestral hall together during the day, she was not the delicate eldest lady in the boudoir, and it was really trivial to stand on such a day.

Therefore, she is still in good spirits, and Mrs. Zhang is also in good spirits, and the two mothers and daughters discussed, so the two of them simply kept the New Year in the yard by themselves.

I saw the food prepared by Mrs. Ding, as well as the excellent Huiquan wine that was served, and there was a charcoal basin underneath it to warm the wine.

Mrs. Zhang used to only know that her old man and son were busy, and after the farm was busy, she always had to go back with two catties of yellow soup to relieve her fatigue.

I only know that this wine is unpleasant.

When I arrived at the Guogong Mansion, I learned that the ladies in the capital also drank wine, and they said that they drank wine, but in fact, it was like water mixed with honey, sweet and silky, not intoxicating at all.

Especially in this winter, drinking it warm and hot makes me feel comfortable.

After tasting it once, I liked it.

Wang Yongzhu saw that Mrs. Zhang liked it, and this so-called wine was indeed low-degree, similar to the low-alcohol rice wine, and it was a drink with a little alcohol before her.

On such a cold day, there is no obstacle to drinking a little, I had previously instructed Mrs. Ding to go to the big kitchen to ask for a jar of good Huiquan wine, and when she moved in at this moment, Mrs. Zhang suddenly smiled.

As for the mother and daughter, there are not so many restraints, both of them have changed into homely clothes, sit on the kang, chat, and eat something.

There is a valley rain waiting below.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ding, with other maids and mothers-in-law, also opened a single table in the side room, and the dishes and fruits that were rewarded on it were also quite rich.

Especially Wang Yongzhu also asked him to share more than half of the Huiquan wine, and also asked Gu Yu to pass on the word, so that they could eat, drink and have fun at ease, but they were not allowed to get drunk, which made those mothers-in-law and maids happy.

Mrs. Zhang drank two sips of wine, listened to the sound of firecrackers outside, and from time to time there were fireworks lighting up half of the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "This capital is really where the emperor lives, and the New Year is so lively. ”

Wang Yongzhu echoed two sentences, looking out the window, a little distracted.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang sighed: "I don't know what your brother and sister-in-law are doing at this moment?" ”

At this time of the year, the whole family should be sitting in the upper room, around the brazier, and the family will keep the New Year.

There is no entertainment in the countryside, even if it is the New Year, it is just idle teeth, and the children will grab peanuts and melon seeds and run all over the house, which is called a lively.

Now, when they arrive in the capital, they are so deserted that only the mother and daughter are left to keep the New Year.

Wang Yongzhu saw Mrs. Zhang's sad expression, and hurriedly said: "Now that the family has also separated, do you want to come and keep the New Year by yourself?" It was a golden pot, the original messenger said that he could go back at the end of the year, and a few days ago Zhang Da shopkeeper sent a letter, but said that they were delayed on the road, and I am afraid that they will be able to get to the capital first after the year. When the time comes, we can also see the golden pot first, and I don't know how he is now? ”

Speaking of the golden pot, Mrs. Zhang inevitably cared about two sentences: "But something happened on the road?" Is the golden pot okay? ”

"It's okay, it's just that when the mountain is closed by heavy snow, the road is blocked, and you can only come over when the snow melts in the future, no hindrance." Wang Yongzhu explained.

Mrs. Zhang put her mind at ease, and remembered Yang Zongbao: "I don't know what your uncle is doing now?" He was alone outside, and he was alone even during the New Year. ”

"Mother, don't worry, Brother Song asked Brother Da Zhuang to go back and see it yesterday, and the New Year's goods over there are all prepared, and all colors and colors are ready. Uncle invited all the students from Jingxian County to go there for the New Year, and I'm afraid it's even more lively than ours at the moment. Besides, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we can go back to pay New Year's greetings, and then my mother will be relieved to see it in person. Wang Yongzhu comforted.

Mrs. Zhang was relieved, drank another bowl of wine, and saw that there were only three people in the room, Wang Yongzhu and Gu Yu, so she said: "Quickly take out the meeting gift that the old lady gave you to open my mother's eyes, this time I came to the capital, my mother opened her eyes."

Wang Yongzhu took out the plate and uncovered the red cloth covered with it, only to find that it was a small box with a stack of silver tickets in it, and in a large box next to it, there were all kinds of gold and silver bills, all kinds of shapes, pumpkin-like, gourd-like, plum-like, peanut-like, small and cute.
