Yan Yan smiled back at Zhu, but didn't say anything.

Fortunately, after a while, the old lady spoke, saying that she wanted to rely on it for a while, and she was a little tired.

After all, she is an elderly person, and she is used to being cold on weekdays, and suddenly so many people have been making trouble here for most of the day, and she is also a little unbearable.

What's more, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve is the main event, as well as the night of the New Year's Celebration, which requires energy to deal with.

The old lady spoke, everyone went back to the room, and Yan Yan also took this opportunity to make up for a while.

Just one hour later, the old lady sent the little girl to inform Yan Yan again, saying that someone in the palace had sent her something.

Yan Yan pulled Lu You and hurriedly rushed to the upper room, and saw that it was Aunt Rong beside the Queen Mother, and the old lady was talking with her.

Yan Yan was startled at first, and hurriedly asked the Queen Mother.

Aunt Rong sat down and replied, and then stood up and said unhurriedly: "Back to the eldest grandmother, in fact, there is nothing serious, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the old man of the Queen Mother invited the emperor and the empress and the royal highnesses and princesses in the Cining Palace, and saw that there were a few dishes that the grandmother liked to eat, so she ordered the small one to be sent, saying that it should be a dish for Mrs. Lu, try it, don't laugh at her, she doesn't look down on the Lu family, just thinking about our girl." ”

"Please also ask Aunt Rong to help bring a word, our Lu family is grateful yet, the New Year's can eat the imperial food in the palace, but it is not a blessing that ordinary people can have, our Lu family has the heart to send back a few dishes, but I am afraid that I will not be able to take it, and I will not let the Queen Mother laugh at it, but it just so happens that today I got two new paintings, and I want to give them to the Queen Mother to appreciate and appreciate, there is Aunt Lao Rong." Mrs. Lu replied.

Of course, she knew that the food outside the palace could not easily enter the palace, and if something happened, it would be difficult to explain it, so she thought about sending back the other party two paintings.

There is no way, although the other party said that these dishes are Yan Yan's favorite dishes, but he also pointed out that they were adding dishes to the Lu family, and it was clearly to give the Lu family grace to let the Lu family appreciate it, and the Lu family couldn't do without a little expression.

"The old lady is very polite, I don't dare to accept this small painting, the old man of the Queen Mother ordered, just to send a few dishes to the girl, not to ask for a New Year's gift." Aunt Rong waved her hand.

After speaking, without waiting for the old lady to speak, she pointed to a few boxes on the ground, saying that it was the queen's New Year's money and New Year's gifts to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan was about to ask the reason in detail, who knew that Aunt Rong took the first step to say goodbye, after all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, how inconvenient it is for her to stay, besides, the Cining Palace is also full of people today, and some things have to be taken care of by her.

Mrs. Lu saw that Aunt Rong really refused to accept the two paintings, so she handed over the two paintings to Yan Yan, saying that they were sent in the name of Yan Yan, Yan Yan refused for the Queen Mother, but she took the purse that the old lady gave to Aunt Rong accepted it for her, and there were two gold bills in the purse.

Subsequently, Yan Yan personally sent Aunt Rong to the gate, only to learn that today in Cining Palace, everyone talked about Yan Yan, and the queen also said good things for Yan Yan for the first time.

The reason was that the queen was really sick a few days ago, and she also had a fever and headache, and she was menacing, and she didn't take effect immediately after taking medicine, and at a critical time, Li Ji remembered the small bottle of wine that Yan Yan left with him last time, so he asked his wife to take this wine and wipe it for his mother.

I don't know if it's the effect of this liquor wipe or the effect of medicine, in short, after repeated three high fevers that night, the queen woke up the next day and felt much more refreshed.

Knowing that this method and the liquor were Yan Yan's, and then remembering that Yan Yan's New Year's gift to her and the emperor were in pairs, the queen was a little moved by Yan Yan.

In this way, the queen thought that she still owed Yan Yan a New Year's gift.

The queen said that she wanted to be rewarded, and the queen mother was naturally happy, and she also had fun, and she also wanted to know how Yan Yan spent her first year in the Lu family, whether she would be treated by the Lu family, etc.

In this way, Aunt Rong's trip to the Lu family was born.

"Please also ask my aunt to bring a message for me, I'm fine, I won't go to the Queen Mother tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings, and I'll go again on the sixth day of the new year." The reason why Yan Yan said this was because she knew that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Queen Mother and the Empress were going to receive all the women of the third grade or more in the capital, in addition to these imperial relatives, Yan Yan was a relative who had no taste, so she didn't go to join in the fun.

Aunt Rong naturally knew this, so she nodded and didn't say anything.

Returning to the old lady's upper room again, the old lady was crooked on the kang and talking to Lu Duan and Zhu about the rewards sent to Yan Yan in the palace, and when she heard the maids say that Yan Yan was coming, she hurriedly changed the topic.

"I'm talking to your mother, this year, with the light of Dalang's daughter-in-law, we not only have the blessing character written by the emperor himself, but also taste the imperial food in the palace." The old lady said with a smile.

"What, it's a grandmother's blessing." Yan Yan opened several boxes on the ground as he spoke, and saw that one of the boxes contained a handful of bananas, Yan Yan took it out and said that it was for everyone to taste.

The rest were six horses of clothing and twelve neat gold ingots of five taels and one piece, and Yan Yan ordered someone to send them back to Songshi Residence.

After finishing these, it was also time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was still eaten in the hall, and the dishes were more sumptuous than the morning meal, and there was everything in the mountains where the water flew in the sky.

After the meal, Lu Ming took Lu Wei and a few boys to set off firecrackers and fireworks, Lu You didn't go, and sat with Yan Yan to talk to the old lady, while Lu Ji, Lu He, Lu Xi, and Lu Shan and a few girls hid on the kang to play backgammon.

The original owner of this game has also played, so Yan Yan is also familiar, to put it bluntly, it is actually a little similar to checkers, but there are not so many suits, only black and white, each of which has fifteen pieces, and it is also necessary to enter the opponent's area from their own area, but it is not the jump method that determines the number of moves, but the dice, that is to say, the number of moves is determined according to the number of points of the dice.

This kind of game is generally used for gambling, and normal people play in the first month, winning or losing is not big, but more to pass the time, because they can't move needles and threads in the first month, and girls always have to find something to do when they get together.

After dark, Lu Ming finished the activities outside and ran in, saying that he wanted to play drumming and passing flowers, and Yan Yan knew that this was the traditional program of the Lu family, and he would play it every Chinese New Year's Eve.

Whoever it is their turn will tell everyone a joke or recite a poem, and the rules are the same as the day Yan Yan got married.

I don't know if it's Yan Yan's luck or some other reason, it wasn't her turn this night, but Lu You took her turn twice and memorized two poems.

This game is followed by supper, and after supper, a large family sits in the old lady's warm pavilion while playing the flying flower order.

Until the end of the sub-hour.

Back at Songshi Residence, Yan Yan, who was already sleepy, listened to the movement of Qingyu Qingyun and a few fireworks in the courtyard, and somehow suddenly remembered his parents in his previous life, and tears suddenly fell unexpectedly.
