Chapter 653: Another Year 1
The annual Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was prepared in the Lin De Hall again. The usual kings and ministers are happy, the usual staggered, and the usual peace.
It's just that unlike last year, when Lin Ruo only went to the banquet alone, this year, there is a person who has been holding her hand and accompanying her all the time, and the gentleness at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes is only left to her.
In the past, the ladies were only the six princesses of Yin Envy Jiahui and the concubine Yanshou, but now, there is such a pair of people who make them envious and jealous: they only married their wives, and did not take concubines.
In contrast, Princess Rong's good life Lin Ruo is even more enviable.
Why?
Jiahui is a princess, and Yan Shou is from the family of imperial history, between the two, it is clear that Yan Shou climbed the golden branch and jade leaf of Jiahui, and chewed his tongue behind his back, "I dare not take a concubine because of the princess's obscenity", which is understandable.
But Murong Chong, that's the god of war of Donglu's great achievements! Lin Ruo is a merchant girl, although her mother has become a county lord from a palace maid because of the appreciation of the queen mother, but such a family background, in the eyes of these noble daughters and official wives, is not seen at all, as if she is a nouveau riche who broke into the aristocracy, and has no connotation. She can marry Prince Rong as a concubine, it is already the ancestral tomb is smoking, but this person is still so devoted to King Rong, only her in his eyes!
How can you not make people jealous!
Obviously, there are no greasy actions between them, but the tacit understanding between the gestures is clearly to show everyone their love.
Qu Xiaoxiang came to Lin Ruo's side, squeezed his eyebrows, and asked meaningfully, "Can you get the clouds to see the sun?" β
Lin Ruo glanced at Murong Chong beside him, raised his hand, raised his glass and smiled at Qu Xiaoxiang, then shook his head lightly, and replied: "Those who know the future can still be chased." β
Qu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned, and looked at it clearly, but looking at Lin Ruole's appearance in it, he replied knowingly: "It's not far away, I feel that today is not yesterday." β
Lin Ruo smiled: "Borrow your auspicious words." β
Chunyi, who happened to come over, heard their dumb riddles, and her face was puzzled: "What are the fourth sister-in-law and Fengyang saying so happy?" 'It's not far away, I feel that today is and yesterday is not', is Mr. Wuliu's "Words of Return"? I like the two sentences of 'pleasing relatives' love words, music piano books to dispel worries'. β
Lin Ruo and Qu Xiaoxiang looked at each other and smiled, and the three of them talked harmoniously.
After returning to the palace after the palace banquet, Murong Chong integrated into the New Year's celebration activities in the palace for the first time. In previous years, he handed over everything to Tao Fu and Steward Tao, either to fight outside, or to return to the study alone after a short appearance. On this day, he followed Lin Ruo to give silver rewards to the little servants and maids in the house, watching them grab dumplings, and Lin Ruo stuffed a fireworks stick with golden sparks in his hand and made a mess with everyone......
It's really ...... like this year after year Expectant.
The firecrackers exploded, the fireworks in the sky lit up the night sky, and the house looked at the fire trees and silver flowers, and was very happy. Youcao took the red Kong Ming lantern that Lin Ruo had already prepared, and asked everyone to pray in the yard for release. Those who can write write on Kong Ming lanterns; Those who can't write will either be replaced by a mass of graffiti, or let someone who can write help them write; Of course, nothing was written, and the pious gaze followed the red light higher and higher until it completely disappeared from sight.
A group of people were so busy releasing Kong Ming lanterns with such interest, and they didn't notice that the two masters of the mansion had sneaked back to the room at some point.
Murong Chong was pulled by Lin Ruo and tiptoed towards the direction of the room, Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo's cautious appearance for fear of being discovered, and felt inexplicably funny.
Although he guessed that Lin Ruo chose to slip away quietly because he was sympathetic to his subordinates and was afraid of ruining their excitement for the New Year-for the small servants and maids of ordinary people's families, the master was not in front of them, and they were more open, but this was not the case in King Rong's mansion, probably because Lin Ruotai had no shelf and could have fun with them without scruples, and there were all kinds of endless ways to play. But Lin Ruo's shadow puppet-like action is really funny.
When he returned to the room, he opened the door, and the mellow aroma of wine made him unconsciously take a few deep breaths: "What a mellow amber light!" β
Lin Ruo stretched out a finger and put it in front of his lips, shushed, looked left and right vigilantly, did not find anything abnormal, quickly closed the door, and whispered: "There has been a group of drunkards in the mansion recently, but I can't let them know that I have stolen such a small jar of twenty-year-old wine." β
Drinker?
Murong Chong raised his eyebrows.
Lin Ruo showed a little helplessness on his face, and said, "It's not Lu Ming's harm?" I didn't expect him to be so addicted to alcohol! Forget it if you drink it yourself, and instigate a few of the shadow guards to drink it together, you didn't expect it, there was no sound, no trace, a few of them, followed Lu Ming to drink a few times, and then they stared at the wine cellar in the house! When I don't take a turn, I will take a few bites. There is also the old housekeeper, last time Sister-in-law Feng made him a drunken fish, and he couldn't put it down. Every ten days in the house, I have to order wine from Sister Qiu, and the wine in the cellar can't be put away at all. Just this altar, I secretly asked Yun Zhi to go to the gluttonous sea to bring it and let Zhu Xuan hide it! β
Yun Zhi now has a brother, and when she celebrates the New Year, she goes back to be with Yun Yi. And these in the room were secretly arranged by Lin Ruo and asked Zhu Xuan. Seeing Zhu Xuan coming back, Fang secretly gestured with her, and then began to put Kong Ming lanterns with the big guys, Lin Ruocai hurriedly took Murong Chong back.
In addition to the amber light, a small pot of Tusu wine and a lot of small snacks such as auspicious fruit and ruyi cake were also prepared.
In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Although Lin Ruo loves amber light the most, the New Year is to drink a glass of Tusu wine to ward off evil spirits and avoid miasma, and ask for a good omen at the beginning of the new year.
Lin Ruo smiled and pulled Murong Chong to sit side by side, took out the warm wine jug, poured a glass of wine for himself and Murong Chong, pinched the two wine glasses, touched them to himself, and said with a crisp sound: "A cup of wine for the New Year, give auspiciousness and reduce happiness." β
Then, he handed one of them to Murong Chong.
Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo with a smile and crooked eyes, his eyes were clear, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and when he took the wine glass, he touched Lin Ruo's fingertips, as if his heart was gently scratched by a feather.
"Bestow good fortune and bring blessings."
Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo for a moment, repeated the blessing words when drinking Tu Su's wine, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, but his eyes still never left her for half a minute.
Lin Ruo was a little shy by such a burning gaze, and although she had a good amount of wine, she would blush with a glass, and her dodging gaze confirmed her shame even more.
Murong Chong saw that Lin Ruo was a little embarrassed to put the Tu Su wine aside, picked up the small jar of aged amber that had been cellared for twenty years, wrapped his hands around Lin Ruo's back, held Lin Ruo's two hands respectively, poured the wine in a hand-holding posture, and then said in her ear: "The last time we drank together on the roof, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, right?" β
