New Year's Day (Part I)

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lian'er was extremely busy, from the morning to wait for her grandmother to comb her hair, to everyone went back to rest after the New Year, there was no rest in between, plus she stayed up all night the night before, she felt very tired when she was recovering from a major injury, and her face became more and more pale. Every time he saw her face getting worse and worse, Xinjie regretted that he shouldn't have asked her too much last night. Every time he approached her, she would give him a comforting smile that made him feel distressed. Lan Xin's matter was finally cleared up yesterday, and he was relieved. But the evasive and negative attitude towards him that Lian'er had appeared two days ago always made him feel uneasy, and he couldn't bear any neglect of him by Lian'er. He knew that Xiao Jiu had chatted with Lian'er yesterday, and he was a little unsure whether Lian'er's obedience yesterday and the passion that appeared on her more than usual was because of himself or because Xiao Jiu had talked with her, if it was the latter, then Xiao Jiu's influence on her could not be ignored.

Jing An has been observing Meilian since yesterday, and she found that except for occasionally being coquettish with Xinjie, she just talked and laughed with Xinye, and treated the other young masters in the family politely, but kept a considerable distance. She now confirmed that maybe she had really misunderstood Meilian before, and she was suspicious of what Fang Yan had said to her and Yiyan's comments. She began to realize that if she wanted to really envelop Xintian, it was not enough to rely on her princess status and beauty, Xintian and Xinjie were brothers, and there must be something in common, maybe from Meilian, she could find a good way.

When Xinye saw Lian'er calmly appearing next to his grandmother in the morning, he knew that she and the third brother had been reconciled, and he was happy and a little disappointed.

And Xintian, since he saw Lian'er and Xinjie together yesterday, he has a lingering irritability. Although he has accepted the fact that they are together, it is still difficult for him to calm down when he really witnesses them, and most importantly, he is also a man, and there is no shortage of women in his life who are automatically dedicated, but there is a lack of women like Lian'er who can make him feel that he can meet his needs when he is in love. He knew that the purpose of the Queen Mother's arrangement for Jing'an to come to Xianyang was to facilitate him to follow Jing'an, ostensibly to come to Tangmen to practice medical skills, and by the way, sightseeing in Xianyang. However, Jing'an himself has neither talent nor interest in medical skills, and it is difficult for him to be quiet and read. Unlike Lian'er, she was able to read and discuss with the third child, and went to the Tang family's medical center to practice without interruption. Jing'an is still playing besides playing. He couldn't discuss matters with her in the same way that he discussed the affairs of Baicaotang with Lian'er, because he often couldn't understand what was going on in her head.

Just like this morning, all the children and grandchildren took out their gifts to honor grandma, and because Tang Lan and Mrs. Tang were there, Tang Lan and Mrs. Tang were filial to things. The clothes, shoes and hoods that the third child gave to his grandmother were all in line with his grandmother's wishes, and it was Mei Lian who took care of them for him, which was not unusual, and what was surprising was the gift they gave to Mrs. Tang. Mother has always treated Xinjie poorly, so Xinjie is also very indifferent to her, and the New Year's gift is nothing more than a scene, just pick something and send it over. But this year, Xinjie's gift to his parents is very different from previous years. Just looking at the wood-carved pen holder he prepared for his father, it took a lot of effort, and he carved the words himself. What was given to Mrs. Tang, even Mrs. Tang was surprised, it was actually a very heavy silk gold phoenix bracelet. Not to mention whether it suits Mrs. Tang's style, but this shot alone surprised Mrs. Tang, and more or less regretted being too mean to Xinjie in the past few years. And the heavy, glittering, and exquisite handiwork of the only Ouchi workshop was enough for Mrs. Tang to wear to satisfy her vanity. From the weight of the gift, the grasp of the mentality of the person receiving the gift, and the choice of the type of gift, it is all handled just right. Mrs. Tang sighed with Xintian many times in one day, and felt that Xinjie had made a fortune outside, and he was sensible, and he knew that he respected his elders. He didn't want to talk too much to his mother so as not to get into trouble, in fact, Xinjie had made a lot of money two years earlier, but these changes came from her cousin of the Bai family, who was looked down upon by her old family. Jing'an is very much in line with her mother's wishes, of course, her princess name is in line with her wishes. For Jing'an, Grandma has no special expression, neither persecution like her mother, nor indifference like her father, as if everything is his own.

He also sometimes thinks that it is impossible for God to create another lotus for him to meet, then everyone is almost the same, rather than choosing a random one, it is better to choose a mother who is satisfied, at least there is some meaning. Now that he figured this out, he began to gradually make himself less hateful of Jing'an. He found that Jing An's mind was basically on him, he himself was a person from the past, and he understood many things at a glance, and he knew that as long as he was willing to coax, it would be easy to subdue her. Later, he found that after he treated Jing'an well, Jing'an rarely went to Lian'er for trouble, which was also a good thing.

Although the transactions in various places were settled a few days ago, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, all the treasurers around Xianyang, the head of the farm, all came to the village to ask for peace from the Tang family. Generally, you have to see the old grandmother, and then you have seen the new sky. Since Lian'er helped Xintian check the accounts of Baicaotang, and followed Xinjie to dispose of the Luoyang branch as the chief steward of Baicaotang, these shopkeepers have realized Lian'er's special status in the Tang family, and if they meet at their grandmother's place, they will say hello to her, and if they don't see it, they will also meet her and Xinjie after meeting Xintian. So there were a lot of visitors on this day, and even breakfast and lunch were rushed to eat two bites.

Xinjie has not been at home for three years, and he is very happy this year, but the reason why he is particularly happy is not because of the New Year, but because he is no longer alone on Chinese New Year's Eve this year. In the past, many times, he followed his aunt to celebrate the New Year outside, even at home, when the family was lively, he would feel lonely. And this year is different, except that he has to talk to his grandmother as before, and most of the time his eyes are rolling with Lian'er, almost the same as when he first met her in the autumn, and grandma thinks it's very funny. In fact, they have been together for a few months. In some people, the enthusiasm is almost over, but he finds that he is still very attached to her, especially after she has snubbed himself a little in the past few days, he finds that his love for her is stronger, and he is eager to find out what the problem is and save her heart.

After lunch, the steward of the medical center accompanied a few patients who had been cured by Lian'er, and he made sure to come and bring her something. She had to go out to meet them in the small parlor outside. As soon as Lian'er left, grandma began to joke about Xinjie: "It is said that your two daughters-in-law fought again yesterday?" ”

"Grandma, I only have Lian'er, and Lan Xin has nothing to do with me at all."

"Hopefully, Lan Xin's kid is very stubborn, I hope I won't make any more trouble in the future."

"yes."

"Your daughter-in-law isn't upset about this?"

"Of course she's upset, but you know her."

"You settled this matter last night, didn't you?"

"I can't hide anything from your old man, how did you find out this time?"

"You told me."

"Me?"

"yes, your eyes are rolling with her today, and most of the time she smiles at you, isn't it settled?"

"I've really convinced your old man."

"You gave the eldest lady a heavy gold phoenix bracelet this morning?"

"Yes, Lian'er's idea, she thinks my dad will be happy this way. My dad is old, and I don't want to embarrass him. ”

Grandma patted his hand, "This kid is very sensible. Did Jing'an go to Lian'er yesterday to make trouble? Grandma mentioned yesterday's incident, Xinjie blushed for a while, obviously grandma didn't know what he and Lian'er were doing when she broke in, otherwise she wouldn't have let go of such a good opportunity to tease him so easily, "This girl is too ignorant, if Xintianzhen marries her back, I think it's more troublesome."

"I think the eldest brother will take care of this matter himself."

"Not necessarily, I'm afraid he's just picking up a life-saving straw." Xinjie immediately realized that this was because Lian'er chose him, "Maybe I really shouldn't have given Lian'er to you kid, if she married your eldest brother, I would have had the opportunity to see her often, and now I have given you, alas, I don't have a few days to enjoy this girl's blessings."

"Grandma, what are you talking about?! Doesn't Lian'er come and wait for you every day? ”

"Then change Ming'er, you go to Beijing by yourself, and leave Lian'er in the Zhuangzi to wait for me, okay?" Xinjie is really a little afraid that grandma will think so, after all, Lian'er has not only taken care of grandma recently, but also participated in the management of Baicaotang. "Stinky boy, you don't know about those intestines grandma yet?! Hahaha. Seeing her grandson embarrassed, the grandmother was very happy. Of course she likes Lian'er, but she wants her grandson to be happy, not to mention that letting this granddaughter-in-law enter Beijing is not just for Xinjie, but for the entire queen mother and the Tang Sect to play a big game with their opponents. "You're going to go on the road after the New Year, this child is weak after being injured, you have to take care of her a little, let her take care of her more, don't always pester her?" Fortunately, there was no one else in front of him, and these words made him very embarrassed. Since the day he went to Xianyang City, he has indeed pestered her every day. In the first few days, she would often faint because she was too weak. He sometimes couldn't explain why he was so obsessed with everything about her. When he didn't have her before, he did it occasionally. However, he heard Hualu joke that his new daughter-in-law must be very tired in the future, and they will have to bear him with two of them.

"I asked her to be given deer placenta cream, and you can bring it back to her later, don't say that I gave it to you, or the girl should wonder why I didn't marry you. Has she mentioned this recently? ”

"Never mentioned. But I'm a little worried. ”

"Yes, the more she doesn't mention it, the more it shows that she is very serious about it. When the time is right, you can make it clear to her so that she can be reassured. Child, you have to take care of a lot of things by yourself, and grandma can only plan for you in a big way. When the time comes, what should be done, or judge the situation, according to the specific situation. After you enter Beijing, I may have to go on a long trip, and the specific time has not yet been decided. But if there is a big event in Beijing, you should discuss it with the Queen Mother and your daughter-in-law. Remember, you can't just suspect each other. ”

"I know that."

"The route to Beijing has been decided?"

"Not yet, I haven't told Lian'er that I'm going to Beijing."

"Discuss everything with her as soon as possible. Especially after entering Beijing, there are many major events. I know you're worried about her in danger, but since she chose to be your wife, it's fate, and you can only go for the best, but you can't run away from it. Now Xinjie feels that what Grandma just said to let Lian'er stay was not a joke, but a temptation. He remembered that his grandmother said on her birthday, There are many reasons to give Lian'er to him now, could it be that letting her follow him into Beijing is also one of them? If she really just wants them to get married after the big thing is settled, Grandma can stop him from getting too close to Lian'er lately, and let her stay at home, and then he will come back from the capital to marry her after the big thing is done. And this is very unreasonable at the moment, according to the current situation, he will not be willing to leave her here, he will definitely consult with her, and she will follow him. Don't?

"Did you buy a yard behind Yuehuaxuan?"

"Yes, when I went into the city a few days ago, Lian'er liked it and bought it. It's right next door to Yuehuaxuan's backyard. It turned out that Lan Xin lived there, Lian'er said that it was given to our family's Yixue, and the location of Yixue is good, and it can be rented out or open other stores in the future. ”

"This kid is pretty good at planning, hehe. When are you going to move things over there? ”

"There's nothing to move, Lian'er just means to simply clean up, and if necessary, she can go and live temporarily. I've asked Goofy to send someone to clean up after the New Year. ”

"Then you give Goofy an explanation, and let him make sure to clean up the inside recently, and I may need to use it for a while."

"Oh, okay." Xinjie didn't know what to say, he didn't know what his grandmother was planning, the Zhuangzi here and the old mansion in the city, everywhere was grandma's decision, unlike him, because Mrs. Tang didn't like him, he needed to go out at any time. What was she going to do?
