There is no wind and no waves, and it is the winter solstice in a blink of an eye.

Every year on the winter solstice, the emperor of this dynasty will personally lead hundreds of officials to worship heaven and earth, and when the complicated ceremony is over, the court will rest for seven days as usual.

On this day, the imperial court also issued a general amnesty. Some prisoners were allowed to return to their homes to reunite with their families.

I heard that Du Meifang was also pardoned because of this, and Du Wei sent someone to take her back to Du Mansion for a small gathering.

Since the poisoning case, rumors have spread all over Chang'an, and the Cheng family has kept a low profile for more than a month. Affected by rumors, the courtyard of Cheng Mansion is also much more cold than in previous years.

After the Cheng family finished worshipping their ancestors early in the morning, the whole family gathered together and chatted. Cheng Xiangjin took this opportunity to send out the gifts that he had prepared for nearly a month.

She prepared a set of shoes and socks for Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng, and a pair of shoes for Cheng Fuyin and Cheng Chuyang.

Young and old couldn't be happier to receive new shoes with fine stitches.

Mrs. Cheng stroked the brightly colored magnolia flowers embroidered on her shoes, and she couldn't put it down.

"Grandmother, these shoes were really made by you? When did you do this kind of work? ”

Cheng Xiangjin pitifully stretched out her left hand, which was full of needle eyes, "Grandmother, look at the needle eye on Jin'er's hand, you know how hard I have worked these days!" If you work harder, you will be able to do it easily! ”

"Yo, I'll look at this hand! Oops, really, the old and the new are the eyes of the needle! You stupid boy, why are you so sincere, just let Qiaoxiu and them help you do it, can I and your father and mother be really angry? Look at this white and tender hand, what a sin! ”

Mrs. Cheng stroked her fingers with pity, her eyes full of distress.

Mrs. Cheng received the shoes and socks she made for the first time, and she didn't recover from the joy for a while, and she couldn't like it when she looked left and right, and her face was full of smiles.

When Cheng Fuyin received the new shoes, he took off the old shoes and put them out satisfied.

Only Cheng Chuyang was quite picky about the shoes in his hand, and later saw that Cheng Xiangjin pretended to take them away, so he took the shoes back to the room with a flash.

When Cheng Xiangjin and Mrs. Cheng were chatting in the room, a few guests came to Cheng Chang'an's side.

The first to arrive were Yan Han of Dali Temple and his son Yan Mochen.

Subsequently, Cheng Siyi came here happily with some seafood. Seeing the Yan family's father and son gossiping with Cheng Chang'an, he went to the old lady's yard in a good way.

The father and son of the Yan family and Cheng Chang'an sat down for a cup of tea and left. Not long after their father and son left, Xie Lingfeng, the eldest son of Muenhou Mansion, also came to Cheng Mansion with some food gifts.

Cheng Changan was not surprised by his arrival.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Cheng are best friends, and the Cheng and Xie families have been friends for decades. Except for a few juniors who don't have a deep relationship, like the parents and grandparents of the two families are very good friends. These Cheng Xiangjin, Cheng Chuyang, and Cheng Siyi are also known.

Xie Lingfeng sat on Cheng Chang'an's side for a while, and then came to Mrs. Cheng's side accompanied by father and son.

He was in the military department at a young age, and he was polite and outstanding, and he won the love of Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Chang'an and his wife after a while.

It happened to be almost noon, and Mrs. Cheng sent a message and asked Xie Lingfeng to stay and eat together.

Xie Lingfeng was flattered and responded shyly.

Just when Cheng Mansion was about to start eating, a gray figure came to Cheng Mansion with leisurely steps. Cheng Changan went out to take a look, and the person who came turned out to be Bai Su, followed by three small servants, each of whom carried two large wine jars.

Cheng Changan's eyes were instantly attracted by the six jars of wine, "This wine brought by Bai Gongzi... Is it forgetting worries? ”

Because of the excitement, his voice couldn't help but rise. Cheng Chuyang, Cheng Siyi, and Xie Lingfeng, who heard the movement, also walked out when they heard the sound, and when they saw the wine behind Bai Su, several people instantly opened their mouths!

Bai Su personally sent him to forget his worries? Or the Six Altars?

This is a wine worth a thousand gold!

Under the guidance of Cheng Chang'an, the three servants put the wine in the front hall and left.

"Today's holiday, the little nephew remembered the previous promise, so he took the opportunity to bring you a few jars of wine. If your uncle is happy to drink, next time, my nephew will bring you a few more jars. In addition to the herbs, there are many wines left in the Sanssouci slope at this time! ”

When Cheng Changan heard that there was a next time, he immediately closed his mouth happily.

"Nephew Xian bothered, come, hurry up and have a heart!"

Bai Su entered the hall surrounded by several people, Xie Lingfeng looked at the six jars of wine on the table, and then thought about the two ginseng trees and a few boxes of pastries he brought. Instantly, I felt embarrassed to rub rice again!

It seems that next time, you need to put more thought into it, but don't be compared to this guy every time!

The dishes on the table are all ready, and everyone is ready to eat.

Originally, it was planned that men and women would share a table, thinking that there was only their own family, and there was no need for extravagance.

Unexpectedly, when the meal was approaching, Xie Lingfeng and Bai Su also rushed over. And they all brought such valuable gifts. It would not be appropriate to share another table. Therefore, a separate table was set up for the women in Mrs. Cheng's room, and a table was placed for the men in the outer hall.

In addition, today is the winter solstice, and the dishes are more exquisite and hearty than usual!

Cheng Chuyang looked at the familiar wine jar lined up, unbelievably like in a dream.

After Cheng Chang'an signaled, he excitedly hugged a jar and opened it, Xie Lingfeng kindly wanted to help pour the wine, but was avoided by Cheng Chuyang in a flash.

"What if such a good wine is spilled on you?"

Xie Lingfeng pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, turned his head and slapped Bai Su on the shoulder.

"You're not funny, kid! Brother, I have been to your mountain villa so many times, and I don't see you willing to take the altar and forget your worries, what is the matter today? Did the sun come out in the west? ”

Cheng Siyi also coaxed, "Yes, Brother Su, I have been to your villa many times before, and I don't see you take out a jar of forgetfulness for me to drink." What kind of wind is blowing today? Why did you give my uncle so much wine at once? When did you two become so familiar, you almost became more delicious than my own nephew! ”

Bai Su raised his hand and dusted off the place where Xie Lingfeng had beaten him, and said angrily: "Every time Brother Yi comes to the villa, he will bring some gifts such as tea and pheasants, that is, every time he brings something, he has something to ask for; As for Mr. Xie, I've been drinking so many times in Wushoupo, and I've never seen you bring me anything. In my opinion, the three of us are each other! ”

Xie Lingfeng was not convinced, "Then I didn't see Brother Chuyang give you a gift, why are you willing to forget your worries and give it away?" ”

"I'm different from Mr. Xie, I make friends based on my eyes! It just so happened that Uncle Cheng and Brother Chuyang hit it off at first sight, so I was willing to give each other a good wine and express my heart! ”

"You, you're favoritism!"

Cheng Siyi coaxed, "That's it, you are favoring one over the other!" Not interesting enough! ”

Bai Su took a sip of his worries, "Grand Prince Xie and Brother Yi are either rich or noble, do they still care about such a trivial matter?" ”
