After Lin Ruoyi's reminder, everyone woke up like a dream, and rushed forward to grab the dumplings, for fear that the dumplings with copper coins would fall into other people's mouths first.

"What to rob, what to rob? The starving ghost is reincarnated! ”

Sister-in-law Feng scolded with a smile and continued to take people to prepare the remaining dumplings.

"Ah Shu, no blame, you also have a share, Sister-in-law Feng has prepared it for you, take turns to eat it while it's hot, bite the copper coin, and you can exchange it for gold beads!"

As soon as they heard that the secret guards also had dumplings, everyone sped up the speed of eating dumplings. These secret guards are extraordinary, although they can't be seen on weekdays, but everyone also knows how powerful these people are, and they don't dare to grab dumplings with them, but speed up the speed of eating dumplings on their side, eat a few more dumplings, and change the way to grab the opportunity to get the gold beads from them!

Can't eat fast?

And that's okay too!

Put it in your bowl first, find a quiet corner, and eat slowly one by one!

"Slow down, don't choke!"

Seeing everyone's gobbling up, Lin Ruo couldn't help but persuade.

The plates on the table quickly bottomed out, and most of them were transferred to the bowl by everyone, and the small half was put into the stomach.

With a crisp sound, an oily copper coin fell out, and the lucky guy excitedly held the copper coin and shouted: "I have eaten it, I have eaten it!" ”

In everyone's envious gaze, the little guy exchanged the copper coin for a gold bead, and happily grinned to the root of his ears.

"Dangchang", there was another crisp sound, and someone bit the copper coin, rubbing his sore teeth, but his heart blossomed.

Lin Ruo looked at the people who had sped up the speed of picking up the dumplings, and felt that today's dumplings were particularly fragrant, and couldn't help but put the dumplings that had been dialed into the bowl into his mouth and tasted them carefully.

Sister-in-law Feng's dumpling filling is very good, cabbage pork, with a few corns, the portion is very large! But because everyone rushed to eat together, the original amount of food that could only eat ten was increased to thirteen or fourteen, and even doubled!

Good taste is second, the key is not dumplings, but gold beads!

"The second pot is coming!"

Sister-in-law Feng shouted in a loud voice, and brought someone to bring a big pot of dumplings.

The white gas was steaming hot, and the bye little maids and maids rushed up again to divide the newly cooked dumplings.

Youcao was by Lin Ruo's side, and did not join the "army" of grabbing dumplings, and Lin Ruo did not persuade her, and joked with her from time to time, quite happy. The other person who did not join the battle was the elderly Tao Butler.

Wait, there is another person, standing silently aside, looking quite lonely.

Is it a drain?

Lin Ruo narrowed her eyebrows, Youcao told her about Qingqu, this girl was too high-spirited, before Lin Ruo married into King Rong's mansion, she was the best girl in the palace, and even felt that she might become Murong Chong's concubine or a maid in the room, so sometimes she would be arrogant.

However, Murong Chong didn't have this mind at all.

When Lin Ruo married into King Rong's mansion, Murong Chong didn't even look at her more. And Lin Ruo, because she has always been accustomed to serving Youcao, did not arrange for Qingqu to serve her, but just asked her to be responsible for some trivial matters.

There are also some maidservants in the palace who see the wind and steer the rudder, and they are not used to seeing Qingqu's arrogance, and they secretly sour her a lot of words, especially this time, Lin Ruo followed Murong Chong to leave Beijing and was not in the palace.

Because of her special identity and straightforward and cheerful personality, Youcao made everyone happy to be close to her, and the fact that she practiced yoga together made her more harmonious with the maids in the palace. Between this rise and fall, the gap in Qingqu's heart is even greater.

Lin Ruo looked at the plate of dumplings that Sister-in-law Feng specially brought to her, suddenly hooked the corners of her mouth, beckoned to Qingqu, and said, "Qingqu, come and taste this!" ”

Qingqu didn't expect Lin Ruo to call her over to eat dumplings, and Youcao was also a little surprised.

As for the others, they were full of thoughts about eating copper money dumplings, and they didn't pay much attention to it.

Lin Ruo tossed the dumplings into Qingqu's bowl and blinked slyly.

The Tao housekeeper on the side twisted his beard and smiled without saying a word.

"Thank you, Princess!"

Qingqu saluted respectfully, picked up the bowl, and took a small bite of the dumpling. When I took the second bite, I was hit by a hard and shiny thing.

This thing, which looks white and clean, looks like a piece of fat, why is it so hard?

Qingqu carefully flicked it with chopsticks, looked up at Lin Ruo with a meaningful smile, and then carefully looked at the hard thing, it turned out to be a silver melon seed!

Then, not only her, but a few more people ate silver melon seeds from the dumplings one after another!

"Princess, you are so generous, you actually let Sister-in-law Feng use silver as dumpling filling!"

Lin Ruo said with a smile: "This silver melon seed, whoever eats it will belong to whom!" If you want gold beads, you can only exchange copper coins! ”

I didn't expect that in addition to the copper coins that can be exchanged for gold beads, there are also silver melon seeds in this dumpling! Everyone's enthusiasm for eating dumplings has risen again. Although the gold beads are valuable, they are small in number, and whether they can be obtained or not depends on luck. Although the silver melon seeds also rely on luck, they can't bear to be wrapped up a lot by Sister-in-law Feng, and everyone is happy to take this New Year's small lottery.

Qingqu silently looked at the silver melon seed in the bowl, and was stunned for a while, and his eyes were a little red.

This second pot of dumplings, perhaps because of the wrapping of a lot of silver melon seeds, the big guys don't get much copper money from this pot, but the interest is very high. The luckiest one took out seven silver melon seeds from the sedan chair, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

The last pot of dumplings was also served in the greeting of Sister-in-law Feng, and the cooks, cooks, and men who had been busy in the kitchen all day also came to the table and grabbed dumplings to eat with everyone.

Under Lin Ruo's reminder, Qingqu also fished a few dumplings in the bowl, smelled the aroma, and ate dumplings with everyone. Maybe it was because of Lin Ruo's good luck that she actually bit a copper coin from a bulging dumpling!

Qingqu's eyes widened, a little incredulous, and he was pushed and congratulated a few times, before he came to Lin Ruo in a daze with this oily copper coin.

Lin Ruo smiled very happily: "In our yard, Qingqu is the most competitive, look, she bit the copper coin!" ”

Qingqu was a little excited to take the gold bead handed over by Lin Ruo, and his eyes turned red again. Somehow, he knelt down in front of Lin Ruo and kowtowed, which startled the others.

Lin Ruo hurriedly asked Youcao to help the person up, and said jokingly: "Qingqu, you are the first to greet me in the New Year!" This head can't be knocked in vain, Ah Fu, take a big red envelope! ”

Tao Fu, who was still stuffed with dumplings in his mouth, answered vaguely, and put a few more dumplings into the bowl, and then ran over with the bowl, took out a red envelope from the box and handed it to Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo put the red envelope in Qingqu's hand and said with a smile: "Take it." In the new year, we should be happy with everyone. ”

Qingqu held the red envelope, red eyes, responded "um", thanked Lin Ruo and saluted, stood aside, turned his back imperceptibly and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Lin Ruo didn't know that it was her move that resolved an invisible crisis for herself.
