In addition to asking Yan Qian to pick out the magpie Dengmei shape for her, Yu Fangfei also asked for a set of Hepu Nanzhu head noodles and a set of red gold head noodles inlaid with mutton fat white jade.

Entering the house, the smile on Yu Fangfei's face disappeared, and the maidservant girl put her head on the dressing table, and she fell crooked on the beauty couch near the window, her eyelids drooping, thoughtful. Yu Fangfei's nurse came in with a cup of hot tea, and asked with concern, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Who upset you? โ€

"Nothing." Yu Fangfei shook her head.

The nurse brought the tea to her, "Miss come back from the wind, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." โ€

"There are curtains hanging on the soft sedan cars, which block the wind, and it is not very cold." Yu Fangfei sat up, took the teacup, and took a sip.

"The eldest lady in the house is a kind person, and she treats the young lady very well." The nurse sat down on a small pestle on the side.

Yu Fangfei looked at her, "Nurse, what do you want to say?" โ€

The nurse laughed dryly and said, "The eighth young master of the long room ......"

"Nurse." Yu Fangfei's voice interrupted her words sharply, "Even if the Yu family is defeated, I will not be a concubine if I am a young lady." "She wants to marry the prince of Chu, and only by marrying the prince of Chu can she revive the lintel of the Yu family.

"Miss, aren't the third and fifth wives in this house their daughters?" The nurse couldn't bear to watch the young lady make a mistake step by step, and persuaded her bitterly.

"Nurse, if you want to say this kind of thing again in the future, I will leave you behind, I can only send you back to my hometown." Yu Fangfei said sharply.

"Miss." When the nurse saw her insistent on going her own way, she was about to die of sorrow.

"Get out." Yu Fangfei put the cup heavily on the low table, lay down, and turned her back to the nurse.

The nurse sighed lightly, Miss Demon Barrier didn't listen to persuasion, what should I do? She was a subordinate, and she couldn't persuade her, so she could only get up and retreat lonely.

After nightfall, Mrs. Yan took the men outside the stove room to welcome the Jade Emperor to the world, and Mrs. Yan read "Words of Welcoming God": "Thirty-six days are several times high, and the pearl palace is full of golden hibiscus." The Jade Emperor of the Qing capital is the son of the Jade Emperor, and His Majesty will assist the dragons...... Whew! Recently, the house has been consulted, and the emperor has been asked to pass the people's pastoral office first. โ€

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the court sealed the pen, except for the officials who remained on duty, the other officials went home and waited for the New Year; From the 29th to the 30th, the palace attendants brought rewards to the palaces from time to time, including the blessing words and spring couplets given by the emperor, as well as the jewelry and jade ruyi rewarded by the queen.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky has not yet dawned, the Yan family ancestral hall is brightly lit, in addition to the Yan Mansion itself, there are also side branches attached to the Yan Mansion who also come to worship the ancestors. After some busyness, I ate some milk and pastries to satisfy my hunger, and at the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, Mrs. Yan, Old Mrs. Yan, Lord Nanping County, and Fourth Master Yan dressed according to the product, and entered the palace with Yan Tong Candle to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the palace.

The people who stayed in the mansion gathered at the Warm Incense Courtyard, but the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner could not be eaten until Mrs. Yan and them returned from the palace. But Mrs. Yan and they have to be at least at the right time to get out of the palace, and there is still such a long time, it is boring to sit and sit down, and everyone is looking for something to kill time.

Yan Tongshu beckoned his younger brothers, "Let's go, go to the yard and set off firecrackers." โ€

"Daughter-in-law of the same book, come here, accompany us to play cards with your mother-in-law." Mrs. Yan San shouted.

Yan Qi asked her sisters, "Do you want to play Range Rover or marbles?" โ€

"Play Range Rover (play marbles)." Yan Miao and Yan Hong replied at the same time.

Yan Qi arranged: "If you want to play the Range Rover map, you can go to the big kang in the warm pavilion, and if you play marbles, you can play on the short couch." โ€

But except for Yan Hong, who wanted to play marbles, everyone else was willing to play Range Rover charts, and Yan Hong had no choice but to follow the crowd and follow the big kang.

Mrs. Yan returned home at the beginning of the year, changed into court clothes and palace clothes, and put on the auspicious clothes of the family, Mrs. Yan wore a dark blue embroidered brocade robe with a pattern of 10,000 characters, and Mrs. Yan wore a ginger embroidered coat with a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, and sat on the throne of the red sandalwood carved landscape figure in the main hall of the warm incense courtyard. There is a brazier in the hall, burning pine and cedar incense and lily grass, and it is as warm as spring.

Uncle Yan led his younger brothers, sons and nephews in, and saluted the second elder; After saluting, she retreated to the left side and stood, and Mrs. Yan led the ladies to come in and salute. Old Madam Yan smiled: "It's been hard for you this year, sit down." โ€

There are rosewood high-backed chairs on the left and right, and everyone sits down in order of eldest and youngest. The subordinates in the mansion stepped forward to salute according to the errand, and Mrs. Yan smiled and said, "Reward." โ€

Mrs. Yan dispersed the New Year's money and gold and silver buns as she said.

"It's not early, the children are afraid that they are all hungry, so let's all be seated." Old Madam Yan said with a smile.

Six or seven tables were set up in the side hall, and men and women were seated. The maidservants carried the fish into the stream, there were chickens, fish, meat, acacia soup and wishful cakes, and the wine was Tusu wine. The family began to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Wang's appetite has not been good these days, today looking at the table full of dishes, still has no appetite, but this family is happy, she is not good to show.

"Serve a bowl of lily black chicken soup." Wang whispered to the maidservants who served her.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Wang Shi was even more uncomfortable, his chest was stuffed in a panic, and he wanted to vomit, so he hurriedly pinched the handkerchief and covered his mouth. Mrs. Yan Wu saw it and asked with concern, "Grandma, but the dishes are not to your taste?" โ€

"No ......" Wang wanted to vomit on the side, but the maid hurriedly held the sputum box. Wang vomited most of the bowl of soup out, and felt better, and the maidservant took tea to rinse her mouth.

"Grandma, ...... you," Mrs. Yan Wu hesitated for a moment, "Shouldn't you be happy?" โ€

"Joy?" Wang was stunned.

"Who's happy?" Old Madam Yan heard it.

Mrs. Yan Wu smiled: "I see that the eldest grandmother has no appetite, and she wants to vomit after drinking some soup, just like when I was pregnant with Tongfeng, so I speculated that the eldest grandmother may be happy." โ€

"Fifth aunt, don't say that." After all, no doctor was asked to diagnose it, and Wang was afraid of being happy.

"Don't be so nervous, whether you have it or not, wait a few days, and ask the doctor to come into the house to diagnose a safe pulse." Old Madam Yan gave her a reassuring look.

Wang bit his lower lip, nodded slightly, and put his hand on his stomach.

"Let's go get a cup of ginger milk for grandma first, and then boil some atractylodes crucian carp porridge." Old Madam Yan commanded.

The handmaid took the command and departed.

At the end of the feast, the whole fish and the whole chicken are left on the table, symbolizing the so-called auspicious and more than enough colorful heads. After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there was still a new year to keep, so everyone still gathered together to talk.

Mrs. Yan smiled: "Same book, same an, same Hua, same candle, same bright, same show, same text, same Ming, same ...... Forget Tongfeng, a few of you recite a Chinese New Year's Eve poem to help the fun. โ€

"Grandfather, why did I forget it? I can recite poems. Sister Twelve and Sister Thirteen taught me, and I remember both. Yan Tongfeng shouted unconvinced.

"Oh, you can memorize it, then you can memorize it and listen to it." Mrs. Yan stroked his beard and smiled.

Yan Tongfeng jumped down from the chair, tucked his abdomen and chest, shook his head and said: "This year is the end of tonight, and next year will be tomorrow." The cold goes with the night, and the spring comes with the fifth watch. โ€

Mrs. Yan smiled: "Okay, good, much better than your father, your father reciting poems, and he can't always memorize the third sentence." โ€

"Father." Yan Wuye shouted sadly.

"What's wrong? I'm wrong about you. Mrs. Yan glared at him and said.

Yan Wuye drooped his head and said, "That's right, you're always right." โ€

Everyone in the hall covered their mouths and snickered.
