Two big red lanterns are hung at the entrance of the main hall, and the warm flames are swaying, illuminating the mottled shadows of the scenery at the entrance.

Mother Wen stood at the door of the main hall and instructed the servants to pass the food and serve it.

A large round pear wood table with steaming food on it.

The Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion was scarce, and the biological mother of the eldest young master Ming Zhan died two years after giving birth to him.

In today's Hou Mansion, in addition to Ming Zhan and Ming Ran, there is also a ten-year-old concubine, who is Ming Fan who is respectfully standing at the gate of the courtyard at this moment.

The aunt who stood at the round table and inspected the dishes on the table was a woman with a delicate face and thoughtful manners, she was Ming Fan's biological mother, Aunt Du.

Mrs. Ming and Ming Ran walked into the main hall.

"Madame, Miss." Aunt Du bowed her knees.

Mrs. Ming sat down gently, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

She waved her hand and motioned for Aunt Du to sit down.

Over the years, Aunt Du has been helping Mrs. Ming to assist in housework, and she has never slackened off in big and small affairs.

"It is a blessing for a slave to be able to share the worries of his wife." Aunt Du smiled and shook her head, did not sit down, and quietly stood behind Mrs. Ming.

Ming Ran looked at the dishes on the table, "Where's Dad?" Can it be used? ”

"Your father is in the study, and your eldest brother hasn't returned home yet, so you have to wait for him to come back."

A firecracker sounded, several small servants hugged Ming Zhan into the courtyard, and the mother-in-law who distributed the reward at the door gave the sachet gift bag to the small house, and the little girls smiled and received the reward, which was lively for a while.

After receiving the reward, the little guys kowtowed to the main hall and thanked them, and then left together.

"Big brother is back." Ming ran to the door of the main hall to greet him.

At the New Year's dinner, as long as people return home from abroad, they will set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Because the family of Ning Yuanhou was in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, this New Year's family banquet was postponed to the first day of the new year.

Ming Zhan, dressed in armor, strode towards the main hall.

"Big brother, Happy New Year." Ming Ran immediately stepped forward and pulled him to the dining table in the main hall.

Ming Zhan responded with a smile.

"Fan'er, go and call your father out for dinner." Mrs. Ming said to the small figure at the door.

"Yes, Mother." Ming Fan got the order and ran quickly in the direction of the study.

"Mother." Ming Zhan walked up to Mrs. Ming and was deeply moved.

"Before the banquet begins, let's go and change your armor first, it's weird." Mrs. Ming looked kind.

"Yes, big brother." Mingran echoed.

Ming Zhan straightened up and smiled lightly, and said: "Mother, my son has to go back to the south gate after eating, King Run is out of the city before the key today, presumably he will return to the city tonight, there are not many brothers on duty in the city at night, and he has to go to change shifts after eating, so he can't let King Run not enter the city." ”

Ning Yuanhou's voice sounded at the door, "Hmph, this King Run is really idle, it's not good to spend the New Year in the mansion, and he has to go out of the city at night, he deserves not to return to the city." ”

And they arose, and waited for him to come in.

"Daddy." Ming Ran bowed and sat down.

Ming Zhan bowed his head and said, "Dad." ”

Ning Yuanhou went around to the round table and sat down, waving his hand to signal Ming Zhan and Ming Fan to sit down.

As soon as he entered the banquet, several maids entered, and plates of exquisite dishes were served on the table, with a strong fragrance.

Mother Wen poured wine from the wine glass in front of everyone and retreated behind Mrs. Ming.

"Come, raise a glass to celebrate the New Year." Mingran was the first to stand up and raise his glass.

The people at the table got up and clinked their cups with hers.

"I wish my father and mother good health, and I wish them a better day every year." Ming's face shone with joy, and the dim fire light that filled the room reflected her bright-eyed and bright-toothed countenance.

When Ning Yuanhou heard this, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

After clinking glasses, she sat down on the pear wood round stool, picked up the braised beef on the table with chopsticks, and ate it with relish.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, she glanced at Ming Zhan and said, "Big brother, what about your people?" When you go home for a meal, you have to wait for you to go to the night. ”

Ming Zhan raised his eyes and smiled at her: "Many of them are people with wives and children, so let them go back to spend more time with their children." ”

"It's time for Zhan'er to get married." Mrs. Ming said suddenly.

Ming Zhan immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said eagerly to Mrs. Ming: "Mother, my son wants to live another two years." ”

Ning Yuanhou took over and said, "Your mother didn't ask you to marry back to the house immediately, but just looked for you first, you are eighteen, it's time to marry." At the end, he sighed lightly.

Seeing that there was no turning place for this matter, Ming Zhan lowered his head in frustration, "Yes, all the mothers are bothered." ”

Ming Ran was afraid that Marquis Ning Yuan would talk about her marriage, so she finished eating the dishes in the bowl, and then pretended to be tired and got up, "Dad, mother, eldest brother, I'm good at it, I'll go back to Xueliu Courtyard first." ”

Without waiting for Ning Yuanhou to nod, she stepped out and walked out of the main hall quickly.

The night wind was cold, and Ming Ran ran back to Xueliu Courtyard with his body in his arms.

As soon as he was admitted to the hospital, Zhuqing immediately stepped forward, "Miss, Lan Ling is back." ”

Lan Ling has been guarding outside the Su Mansion, and when she came back at this moment, she must have a clue.

Ming Ran strode into the room.

The lights were shining all over the room, Lan Ling stood in front of the round table, and when she saw Ming Ran entering the house, she walked to Ming Ran and bowed, and said: "Miss, the slave maid found out that Aunt Feng's side of Mrs. Song, her son is on an errand in the eldest princess's mansion, and Mrs. Song often goes in and out of the princess's mansion on the grounds of going to see her son. ”

"A mother-in-law?" Ming Ran lowered his head and thought about it, and then said: "If the eldest princess doesn't have permission, how can she enter and leave the princess's mansion at will?" ”

Lan Ling said: "Maybe Aunt Feng can't get out of this matter, Mrs. Su is seriously ill, and it was Aunt Feng who assigned Mrs. Song to serve." ”

Ming Ran's face was cold, and he said: "I will go and tie up Mrs. Song tonight and take her to a remote place, and I will personally interrogate me tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Lan Ling nodded and walked out of the house like the wind.

Ming Ran sat down in front of the brass mirror, and after Zhu Qing removed the headdress from her hair bun, she scattered her hair bun again.

A head like a waterfall of green silk was scattered on his back, and Ming Ran looked at the figure in the mirror, "Is there any news to bring back from the moon?" ”

Yesterday from the palace banquet back to the house, she let the moon stay outside the palace of King Run, yesterday Princess Run was suspicious of Shen Xing's matter, and thought that she would take action in the next few days.

I don't know if King Run's departure from the city tonight has anything to do with this matter, I hope he didn't go to investigate this matter, if he found Mrs. Su's mausoleum, he would definitely find out that he had opened the coffin.

Then there will be An Xuqiao with him in Japan, An Xuqiao should not know the symptoms after Shen Xing's death, if he knew, he would definitely combine Mrs. Su with Shen Xing's symptoms, so that he would know that Shen Xing also died of his soul.

Once Shen Xing's matter is revealed, the one behind the eldest princess doesn't know if he will blame himself for being troublesome.

"Miss, the world doesn't seem to be abnormal today." Zhuqing looked at Ming Ran in the mirror.

Mingran got up and walked to the couch, "What can he do with it?" I want to guard the Runwang Mansion in Fuyue, not him. ”

Zhuqing nodded while spreading the quilt on the couch.
