Chapter 28: Chinese New Year
Northern Desert, Thousand Evil Pavilions.
Gu Qianye sat in front of the table, flipped through today's folds, and rubbed his temples a little tiredly.
Skimming at a small wooden box on the table, he reached out and opened it and took out the note inside.
Staring at the words on the note, he shook his head, the handwriting was a little unbearable, this is the perfume instruction manual written by Su Xiyan.
As early as the night when Yanzi delivered Su Xiyan's gift to Gu's mansion, he was sent out in a hurry for eight hundred miles.
Baili looked at his master and couldn't help tiptoeing to glance at it.
This is the thirteenth time that the master has taken out a note to read, this ant crawls the same word, is it so good-looking?
After a long time, Gu Qianye carefully put away the note in his hand, put it back into the wooden box, took out the perfume from the glass bottle, sprayed it on his wrist, and rubbed his wrist three times, then put the perfume away and locked the wooden box again.
Coldly threw out a sentence.
"Say, should I send something back?"
He put his hand on his forehead again and thought for a moment.
"She can't use the gold now, can she send some that can be used?"
Gu Qianye didn't wait for Baili to reply at all, made up his mind, and went out.
Leave Baili alone, and be messy in the house for a while.
"When did the master start to like to talk to himself?"
The flavor of the New Year in the capital is always earlier than that of other places, and it is also more lively.
Red lanterns have been hung on both sides of the street, and people are coming and going on the street, all rushing to make New Year's goods.
The acquaintances I occasionally met on the road would say happy New Year to each other, and the whole capital was a joyful scene.
Thin snow began to fall in the sky, from the bushes to the rooftops, and finally the entire capital was filled white.
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve.
Su Mansion has just entered Beijing, there are not many guests who come and go to give gifts, and Su Xian also began to rest for three consecutive days after the morning court today.
Early in the morning, everyone in the Su Mansion gathered in the newly furnished Su family ancestral hall.
Starting from the men to the women, they stepped forward one by one to light incense and worship their ancestors, and a set of processes came to noon.
After lunch, everyone in the Su family gathered around the water pavilion, and the old lady asked the troupe to sing in the Su Mansion for three days.
Su Xiyan felt the atmosphere of the New Year in this era for the first time, and she felt that it was much more interesting than that era.
There is no mobile phone, far away from the screen, although there is no particularly strong affinity for the Su Mansion.
But, when everyone sat together to listen to the play, chat, and drink tea, she thought it was good.
Su Manning sat next to Su Xiyan, and the actors on the stage were babbling and singing a "Peony Pavilion".
She turned her head sideways and asked Su Manning, "How did you choose this kind of drama for the Chinese New Year?" ”
She had never been exposed to drama before and knew almost nothing.
Su Manning smiled disapprerovingly: "Just want to be fresh, I used to listen to it every day in my hometown, and I have heard many plays, so change my taste." ”
Su Xiyan nodded, and Xiaoyu stood on the side, knocking on the melon seeds and saying:
"I don't understand what they're singing, girl, I'm so hungry, we're going to serve at the dinner later, I'll go and pad my stomach first."
"Well, then you go! Tell Qian's mother to cook more, and you all eat some first. ”
Su Xiyan forgot that in this era, the harshness of the maids, generally only when the master finishes eating, they can eat, in case the master has something to shout, I am afraid that they will not even have time to eat this day.
Su Manning saw Xiaoyu running away, but shook his head and said, "You, you're just too good at talking, it's the same as anyone else." ”
Is she easy to talk to? It used to be, right...
Su Manning glanced around the water pavilion, approached Su Xiyan, and said in a low voice:
"Didn't you notice that Su Yingxue was missing again? I saw her sneaking out the back door after lunch, and I didn't know what she was doing sneakily. ”
Su Xiyan smiled, "You look at her closely, so you don't care about the third sister." ”
Her relationship with Su Manning is now the best in Su Mansion, Su Manning is a straight gut, she can say anything directly, she is not tired of getting along with such a person, and she understands it the most.
Su Xiyan looks well-behaved and doesn't understand anything, but in fact, she sees it best, like Xiaoyu.
She always felt that Xiaoyu had a lot of secrets.
After the last play, Xiaoyu also came back with the swallow, and now they are like twins, still and moving, staying by Su Xiyan's side.
And when they got up, they all followed the old lady, and as they went, they took their seats at the table beside them.
This was proposed by the eldest lady, the snow had stopped, lanterns were hung around the water pavilion, and everyone had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here. It's really different.
There were not many masters in Su Mansion, so they all sat together, and the maids beside each of them began to clean their masters' hands, and the maids in the kitchen also put the dishes on one by one.
At this time, Su Yingxue was late, and the eldest lady looked at her daughter suspiciously, and she didn't say anything in person.
The old lady looked at her and said displeasedly, "Where did you go?" I didn't see you just now. ”
Before Su Yingxue sat down, she hurriedly explained: "I had a bad stomach at lunch, and I didn't want to disturb my grandmother's happiness, so I went outside to grab the side medicine, and went back to the house to rest." ”
"Why don't you let the maid go, what are you doing by yourself? It's getting more and more unruly. The old lady said with some dissatisfaction.
Since coming to the capital, the old lady has paid special attention to the rules of the house, and she can't let people see jokes.
Seeing this, the eldest lady hurriedly came out to play a round, "Hehe, mother, don't talk about this for the New Year, let's have dinner first." ”
This is Su Xian also sat down, feeling that the atmosphere in the house today is good, and said:
"Okay, let's eat, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, this is the first year that our Su Mansion came to the capital, everyone is casual."
looked at Su Ming and Su Zhe beside him and said, "You guys also have a drink with your father today, ahaha." The two brothers got up and went down in unison.
The two aunts who shouldn't have been on the table are also here today, and it is a rare "family reunion and happiness" in Sufu.
At this time, even the sky was beautiful, and in the distance, I don't know whose house was setting off fireworks, and the red and green ones flew into the sky, reflecting the same colors on everyone's faces.
But I don't know what everyone's heart is talking about at this time.
Su Xiyan looked up at the stars in the sky and remembered his grandfather.
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, she and her grandfather both ate some quick-frozen dumplings, and I don't know if her grandfather will eat well when she is not there.
Also, is she dead? She brought the attic, what would the world be like over there?
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the old lady asked everyone to go back to their respective yards to keep the New Year.
Su Xiyan listened to Yuxuan, sitting boredly on the stone bench next to the big banyan tree, looking at the golden hairpin in his hand in a daze.
Daqian suddenly ran in from outside the hospital,
"Girl, the general has brought you something, just sent it to the door."
Su Xiyan was startled, and the golden hairpin in his hand almost didn't hold it.
Xiao Yu took a small box from Daqian's hand and handed it to her.
When I opened it, it was a rabbit fur scarf.
Snow white, soft to the touch, Su Xiyan took it out and put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, then hooked his lips and smiled, revealing the cute pear vortex at the corner of his mouth.
Xiao Yu saw Su Xiyan's mood, and she was also happy. "Girl, what does it smell like?"
Su Xiyan put the scarf directly on her neck, and the smell always surrounded her, and replied with a grin:
"Secret~"
"Hehe, even if the girl doesn't say it, I guess it must be related to the general, the general is so good to the girl, by the way, girl, your purse?"
Su Xiyan suddenly restrained his smile, picked up the golden hairpin on the stone table and walked into the house.
"Little fish, embroider the purse."
