Chapter 421: The New Year is Unusual
Ji Jinyan returned to the capital two days before the New Year. Dou'er also followed him back.
Hai Yingying saw that Dou'er was fine, and her heart was finally much more steady. Wei Wujing asked her to find herself, and she always had to protect her.
Ji Huanyu took Hai Yingying and Dou'er to Old Master Ji's mansion on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve as usual.
When they arrived, his father and brother were already sitting there.
When Old Man Ji saw that everyone was together, he ordered a banquet and a singing and dancing. Ji Huanyu's fifth uncle said that he should be punished for coming late.
Ji Huanyu had no choice but to pick up the wine glass. But his fifth uncle said: "The bride has passed the house in the first year, so she has to show it!" ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Hai Yingying. Hai Yingying didn't squirm, she walked directly in front of the luthier.
The luthier stood up and stood aside in amusement. After Hai Yingying sat down, she gently plucked the strings with her hands.
Ji Huanyu didn't know that Hai Yingying still had this stunt, and he was stunned when he heard it.
Gongzi Jin's face became gloomy. He thought Hai Yingying was an embroidered pillow, and it didn't work! But I didn't expect her to play the guqin so well.
As soon as Hai Yingying's piano sound fell, Ji Huanyu and Dou'er began to applaud. Everyone's applause rang out.
"Reward!" Old Man Ji is also happy for Ji Huanyu.
Hai Yingying looked at a letter of reward and was very happy. Ji Huanyu's fortune is low, and most of her dowries are objects. Haihou's dowry for her was mostly antiques, utensils, gold and silver jewelry, and the like. So what she lacked most was money.
The next thing is to guess the lantern riddle in the New Year, and guess the red envelope of the old man Ji.
Everyone went to the back garden to watch the lanterns and guess the riddles, only Gongzi Jinqian sat still.
Touran warmed him wine. He drank slowly, alone. The housekeeper of the Ji Mansion brought a plate of pastries to Gongzi Jinyan. This reminded Gongzi Jinqian of her soft heart.
The pastries made by Rouxin are soft and smooth, not sweet and greasy, and have a light fragrance.
Gongzi Jinyan picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, and then thought to himself, "She's okay!" ”
Rouxin is walking out of the kitchen of her home on the shore of Dongting Lake in Wuling County at the moment. She holds freshly baked pastries in her hands.
Childe Qingqian sat at the tea table and roasted a charcoal fire. Rouxin put the pastry on the tea table, and then she poured a cup of tea for Childe Qingqian.
"Yingying doesn't know if she will be wronged!" Rouxin's heart is very unsteady. She was afraid that Gongzi Jinqi would embarrass her daughter.
"Ji Huanyu will take care of her." Childe Qingqian picked up a piece of pastry and took a sip.
Xiangzi and Nizi walked in together to greet the young man and his wife.
Rouxin took out the small money bag she had embroidered and handed it to the two. Then her eyes looked to the door.
"Where's Shang Qian?" Rouxin asked without seeing Shang Qian come in.
"New Year's greetings to the master and the master!" Shang Qian walked into the door and arched his hand.
Rouxin put the silver bag in his hand. Shang Qian said, "I don't need it either, you can put it for me first!" ”
"Take it! That's a good bonus! Rouxin looked at Shang Qian with a smile. She knew that Shang Qian was sensible.
"Why didn't anyone give me New Year's greetings!" Murong Xue walked in with the child in her arms.
"I wish the princess all the best, peace and auspiciousness!" Shang Qianshu read well, so he took Xiangzi and Nizi to Murong Xue and gave him a salute.
Murong Xue listened to it and took out three silver coins and gave them them.
Both Kako and Niko laughed. Girls inevitably want to buy rouge gouache.
"New Year's greetings to my brother and sister-in-law!" Murong Xue handed the child to Xiangzi, and then gave a salute to Gongzi Qingqian and his wife.
"Don't be so outside!" Rouxin took out the gift box that Hai Yingying brought to her and handed it to Murong Xue.
Murong Xue took the gift box and opened it to see that she liked it very much. Inside the gift box is a pair of earrings that are the most popular in Beijing.
"New Year's greetings to my son and sister-in-law!" Liu Tao stepped into the door.
"Liu Tao!" Murong Xue closed the gift box and threw herself into Liu Tao's arms.
"What about these people?" Liu Tao made a big red face.
Childe Qingqian inquired about the situation in the capital. Liu Tao said that everything was fine, but the old marquis often remembered his son.
Haihou Mansion is not as lively as Ji Mansion. They just sat down together and had a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
"Father! After the New Year, I sent someone to send some silver money to my second brother, okay? "Gongzi Qingyue is afraid that Gongzi is shallow and has a hard life.
"How could he be short of silver!" Childe Qingcheng drank some wine, so he told the truth.
Gongzi Qingyue didn't know that the operation of Haihou Mansion was under the name of Gongzi Qingqian.
"You've drunk a little too much today!" Haihou Ye reminded Gongzi Qingcheng.
"The child knows his mistake!" Gongzi Qingcheng also knew that he had leaked his mouth.
Yao Chan'er could hear some doorways.
"No matter how hard you work, you can't compare to others!" Yao Chan'er said dissatisfied.
"Let's quit!" Haihou Ye got up and left.
Gongzi Qingcheng hurriedly followed Haihou Ye to the study. He knelt down in front of his father and explained, "The child never mentioned it in front of her!" ”
"I didn't mention the best! I didn't hear her today! Haihou Ye said angrily.
"There won't be a next time!" Gongzi Qingcheng kowtowed to his father and walked out of the house.
Yao Chaner was grounded for three days of reflection in the New Year. She became more and more dissatisfied with Gongzi Qingcheng.
Gongzi Qingyue also secretly asked her mother whose financial power in the family was in her hands? Mrs. Hymers only said one word, I never asked! Gongzi Qingyue stopped asking.
At night, Zhuo Lan lay in Gongzi Qingyue's arms and whispered: "Your second brother is really not simple!" No one else is in the capital, but he is still the most trusted person of Haihou Ye! ”
"You don't know how the Holy One ascended to the throne today!" Gongzi Qingyue was a little jealous of his second brother at this time.
Gongzi Qingqian was talking to Liu Tao about the situation in the capital at the moment. The Ji clan's power is getting bigger and bigger. Gongzi Jin's two sons are very good.
The crown prince has the best relationship with Ji Huanyu, and he has left the palace twice without permission to go to his house.
"What's going on with the other three families?" Gongzi Qingqian poured Liu Tao a cup of tea. Then motioned for him to sit down and speak.
Liu Tao took a sip of tea and still refused to sit down. He is used to it, so Childe Qingqian is not reluctant to him.
Yao didn't make any moves. It's just that Yao Xiang tossed Ji Huanyu a little. The Dong Mansion has always been low-key, and there has been no action on the surface. The Yan family is much more stable. Liu Tao told him what he knew.
"They're a lot smarter!" Childe said lightly.
"You mean they ......" Liu Tao looked at Gongzi Qingqian with wide eyes.
"The three major families must join forces to deal with the Ji family!" Childe is shallow and determined.
"But I can't see anything now!" Liu Tao squatted down and added ignition charcoal to the charcoal basin.
"At present, Youjing is relatively stable, and there are no famines. So everyone is safe! Childe stood up.
It was late at night. There was silence all around. Gongzi Qingqian and Liu Tao also felt tired. And they went to rest in peace.
Gongzi Qingqian and Liu Tao were sitting on the roof of the tea room just now. He heard what they were talking about. That person was none other than Ai Zishen.
Ai Zishen has never left Youjing. He wasn't eavesdropping consciously. But it's true that he wants to take revenge on Gongzi Jinqi for the Shura Hermitage Pavilion. So after listening to the conversation between Gongzi Qingqian and Liu Tao, he had an idea in his heart.
