Lin Zuiliu didn't expect that in the end, it was Liao Luan who sent the recipe she wrote to Yuelai Inn.

She didn't know what happened to the two people in the middle, anyway, Liao Luan came back calmly, and she didn't ask more about the two of them.

It's already the end of the year, and the palace is also starting to get busy, many times Lin Zuiliu walks in the mansion, and he will see the little servants put on new lanterns.

The lanterns are bright red, and such a busy atmosphere makes her also give birth to a little joy for the New Year.

When she fell asleep that day, it was still dark when she woke up, but the sound of crackling firecrackers had already resounded in the sky.

Lin Zuiliu slammed the quilt over her head, and the sound kept banging in her ears, and she almost felt that the fireworks in her head had exploded.

"Cui He!" She sat up angrily, hugging the quilt, her hair messy on her face and shoulders.

"This red vase is placed on the top of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, yes, in the upper left corner."

Cui He, who was directing the mother-in-law and maids to clean up the house, heard the master calling someone and hurriedly walked out.

As he walked, he said, "Everything is cleaned up, and the New Year is also a good luck." ”

"Yes."

Everyone responded one by one, and Cui He walked out of the door of the hall and walked down the corridor of red lacquered pillars to the door of Lin Zuiliu's bedroom.

As soon as I pushed the door open, a wave of heat came to my face, mixed with the jasmine fragrance made by Lin Zuiliu himself, which was quiet and smelly.

She entered the house and closed the door, turned around and entered the inner room, and saw Lin Zuiliu lazy on the bed at a glance.

Cui He smiled immediately, and said while poking the carbon fire in the stove, "Why doesn't the princess sleep more?" It's still early. ”

This scene was familiar, Lin Zuiliu couldn't remember when it happened, and finally just said in a daze, "Why is it so noisy outside?" ”

"Today, in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are people's little houses setting off firecrackers at the gate in the morning."

It's Chinese New Year's Eve......

Lin Zuiliu was a little confused in his life, and he didn't remember that today was the last day of the year.

She sat down and relaxed, so she asked Cui He to help her fetch water, and after washing, she put on a cloak and walked out of the bedroom and walked to the hall where Cui He was.

The hall is now lively, and Lin Zuiliu's small courtyard has not been so lively for a long time.

The maids and maids methodically wiped the corners and corners of the room and all kinds of furnishings.

The little guys set up a long ladder to dust off the ceiling, and hung the cut red silk by the way, and the pieces of red joy were all red.

She was immersed in this atmosphere, when she suddenly heard the voice of the little girl who posted the couplet at the door.

"The prince is auspicious."

"Let's be flat." Liao Luan's voice came from far and near, and he soon walked into the hall.

He didn't wear the moon-white clothes today, but wore a royal blue satin gown, with a rabbit fur shoulder on the outside, and he looked a lot heroic.

Lin Zuiliu was happy in her heart, and when she saw Liao Luan coming, she couldn't help but get up and salute, and said with a smile: "The prince is auspicious." ”

Liao Luan's voice also had a smile in it, and he said in a deep voice, "No courtesy." ”

When Lin Zuiliu raised his head, the two of them couldn't help laughing.

After a busy morning, Liao Luan pulled Lin Zuiliu out of the hall before the meal was cooked at noon.

Lin Zuiliu was pulled by him, her steps were a little fast, and she couldn't help but speak when she looked at Liao Luan's slender figure.

"Where are we going, Liao Yangui."

Liao Luan didn't reply to her, but slowed down a little, pulling Lin Zuiliu to walk next to him side by side.

After a long time, he said, "Worship my parents." ”

This topic was a bit heavy, Lin Zuiliu didn't know how to speak, but fortunately, Liao Luan didn't seem to care, and then said, "I come after lunch every year, and I always want to come early this year." ”

She didn't know why Liao Luan wanted to come earlier, but since she had brought her to worship her parents, she naturally had to show a solemn posture.

The ancestral hall was not very close, and the two of them walked in the backyard for a long time before they saw the quiet courtyard with no people.

The courtyard door was tightly closed, there was silence, there was no sound at all, except for the two red couplets pasted on the door, there was no New Year's atmosphere at all.

She saw Liao Luan step forward, and then stretched out her slender hand and knocked on the door knocker, and she had some doubts in her heart.

It was a strange thing to come to my ancestral hall and knock on the door, and besides, this ancestral hall didn't look very popular.

After all, the elders in the palace were almost gone, and she couldn't think of anyone else who would make Liao Luan so respectful.

However, unexpectedly, after a while, there was really a sound of fluttering footsteps in the door, and as the red door that had already lost some paint was opened, Lin Zuiliu saw a woman.

It was an elderly woman, dressed in a navy blue cotton robe, and her hair was tied by a simple wooden hairpin, looking simple and plain.

However, as soon as they met, Lin Zuiliu felt that she had an indescribable cold temperament.

She heard Liao Luan smile and shouted at the middle-aged woman, "Aunt Qiu." Then he felt his hand being grabbed by Liao Luan and dragged to his side.

With indescribable joy in his voice, he said to Lin Zuiliu, "This is Aunt Qiu." Auntie, this is Neiko, the princess of the Zhennan Palace. ”

Aunt Qiuqiu saw that Lin Zuiliu looked very happy, smiled sideways and walked in to meet the two, and said with a smile on her lips, "Come in." ”

Lin Zuiliu followed Liao Luan into the gate, and there were some low bushes growing on both sides of the door, which were neatly repaired.

As they walked inside, Lin Zuiliu found that the ancestral hall looked a little old, probably because there was no one in the family, and it had not been repaired, but it looked very clean.

Walking all the way, Lin Zuiliu felt that this Aunt Qiuqiu was staring at her, and the more she looked and laughed, the happier she became, and the more she looked at and laughed, the more satisfied she became.

She was a little embarrassed to reach out and brush her hair, but she didn't expect Aunt Qiuqiu to smile even more happily.

led them all the way to the door of the main house, the three of them stopped, Aunt Qiu held Lin Zuiliu's hand, and said to Liao Luan, "The princess looks good, you have to treat her well after Yan returns, or your aunt won't be able to spare you." ”

Liao Luan responded with a smile, watched Aunt Qiuqiu turn around and leave, and pulled Lin Zuiliu straight into the ancestral hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Zuiliu saw the rows of tablets, neat and clean, with incense inserted in the incense burner at the front, and the smoke slowly drifted up, waiting for a strange fragrance.

Liao Luan let go of Lin Zuiliu's hand, first took the incense from the side of the incense case and lit it, and gave it to Lin Zuiliu.

Lin Zuiliu knelt on the futon with his movements, holding incense, and bent down three times one at a time.

"Father, mother, all the ancestors, it's Chinese New Year's Eve again, my son comes to see you, this one next to me is the Neizi Lin clan, and he only entered the Zhennan King Mansion this year."

"In the new year, I hope that the ancestors will bless you, and your parents will protect you, so that the people of the North Ring Road will be safe, and the people of Zhennan Wangfu will be prosperous."

People are thriving!?

What kind of people are thriving? Lin Zuiliu swallowed his saliva quietly, looked at Liao Luan and looked at the tablet on it with a serious face, thinking that he might be thinking too much.

Soon Liao Luan stood up and put the incense in the incense burner, and Lin Zuiliu also followed and inserted the incense into the incense burner, and the two of them turned around and walked out of the main house of the ancestral hall.

Aunt Qiuqiu was cleaning the yard with a big broom, and when she saw the two of them coming out, she said with a smile, "Is the worship over?" ”

Liao Luan stood still and nodded, and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Auntie, are you really not going with us to celebrate the New Year?" ”

Aunt Qiuqiu shook her head, "No, my aunt is old, I don't think I have much, I can't stay up late, I won't keep the New Year today, you have fun." ”

Lin Zuiliu looked at Aunt Qiuqiu, there were already traces of time in the corners of her eyes, and she looked at Liao Luan's expression very kindly.

It wasn't until he walked out of the ancestral hall that Lin Zuiliu spoke, "Why haven't I ever seen Aunt Qiuqiu before?" ”

Liao Luan originally walked in front without saying a word, but when he heard Lin Zuiliu ask, he glanced back at her, and said lightly

"Aunt Qiuqiu turned out to be her mother's dowry girl, there was originally a good man in the barracks, and then she died in the battle with her father, and she never married in her life, after the mother concubine went, she has been in the ancestral hall, saying that she wants to accompany her mother."

Lin Zuiliu listened to his voice calmly recounting such a past incident, as if he suddenly understood why he respected Aunt Qiu so much.

That's really a woman who can be respected in the heart, no matter what status.

Lin Zuiliu followed Liao Luan to the dining room with some silence, and a table of food had been set up in the dining room at this time, looking very sumptuous.

Yi Dong and Cui He were also standing in the dining room, and as soon as Lin Zuiliu entered the door, he heard the sound of Yi Dong and Shaoguang playing with each other.

She grinned, sighed at the young and energetic Yidong and Shaoguang, and sat down on the chair for a hearty lunch.

The afternoon was a little boring, and the two of them had been sitting in the study for a quiet time.

The crackling sound of charcoal in the house contrasts with the crackling sound of firecrackers outside from time to time, reminding Lin Zuiliu that it is indeed the New Year today.

It wasn't until the sky was about to get dark that Liao Luan suddenly asked her if she wanted to go out and have a look.

Lin Zuiliu's buttocks hurt, she nodded when she heard the words, and as soon as she opened the door of the house, the snowflakes fluttering outside were sprinkled with snow, and she was blown cold on her face by the wind, and she reacted that it was snowing again.

"It's snowing." She muttered to herself in a low voice, but Liao Luan heard it, and looked up at the slightly dim sky, "Yes, there is a lot of snow this year." ”

Lin Zuiliu didn't know how much snow had fallen in other years, so when he heard Liao Luan say this, he nodded and said, "Ruixue is a good year, this must be a good sign." ”

"Haha......" Liao Luan's voice has always been cold and low, and it is rare to laugh like this, but this voice preached Lin Zuiliu's ears, which made her suddenly a little stunned.

She looked at Liao Luan's raised face and slowly smiled.
