Chapter 378: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

The New Year is celebrated everywhere, and the capital is no exception.

This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, and in comparison, it is still the New Year in the capital, which is more lively.

In the palace, the sound of singing and dancing sounded in the hall, and Pei Yi sat at the top of the place, with the queen beside him.

There is a nurse to take care of the emperor's eldest son, and it is quite stable at this time.

"Your Majesty, you seem to have something on your mind?" Picking up the wine glass, the queen looked at Pei Yi and asked with concern.

"Nothing." Shaking his head, Pei Yi did have some things on his mind, but as an emperor, it was normal to hide his thoughts and not say anything.

He refused to say, and the queen didn't ask much, and after giving him a toast, she withdrew her gaze and continued to watch the singing and dancing in the hall.

Earlier, the emperor and queen had a lot of unpleasantness because of the affairs in Suicheng.

In the past, the queen would always be a little puzzled, but since giving birth to her eldest son, those things that can't be figured out are no longer important.

Now in the harem, in addition to her eldest son, there are other children and other pregnant concubines.

She felt that instead of caring about those, it was better to guard her children well, so as not to let the children have any accidents, so that he could grow up smoothly and safely and inherit the throne.

She is the queen, her son is the eldest son of the emperor, if nothing else, the crown prince can only be his.

After thinking about this, when facing Pei Yi, she had a little less past feelings and a little more sense.

Now she is more and more like a queen.

Pei Yi didn't know what she thought in her heart, and after drinking the wine in the cup, her eyes turned around the hall.

There are concubines and ministers in the first place.

Because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, there were not so many rules, and although everyone paid attention, it was much easier than usual.

The ministers pushed the cups and changed the lamps and whispered to each other, he couldn't hear it clearly, but he also knew that it was nothing more than some auspicious words for the New Year.

Above this hall, even if there are many people, whispering will not be heard by others, and no one dares to say something that should not be said.

As for the concubines, those who have children are the same as the queen, let the nurse take the children.

When the child is still in the womb, he is cautious.

Those who have no children glance at Pei Yi from time to time, hoping to get the emperor's attention and give them a chance to give birth to children.

Withdrawing his gaze, he drank another glass of wine.

Haicheng wrote a letter before, reporting the situation over there, and sure enough, as he thought, as long as Yan Yu and his wife were there, they would definitely be able to solve it.

Now that it is settled, sooner or later, the couple will leave over there.

Lu Zhewen is his right-hand man, and it is impossible to be on Haicheng's side all the time.

Regarding the candidates to go to Haicheng, he has always been very difficult, but he has ordered that they all have to learn different Chinese and prepare for some things.

Needless to say, the old ministers were too difficult for them.

The young courtiers are all quite positive, but they have not yet found anyone suitable for sending them over.

Among the local officials, there are quite suitable, but there is no way to provoke the beam, so they have to continue to screen.

In the past, every year, he could receive things sent by Su Jinyu, but now that he doesn't, he will always feel a little regretful when he thinks about it.

Thinking of those things, Pei Yi glanced at the queen, she was turning her head to look at the nurse, the child in the nurse's arms, she was in good spirits at the moment, and seemed to be attracted by the song and dance in the palace.

Today's queen is more and more like a queen.

——

"Come and make dumplings!" Then in the city, the little companion read and shouted, and the children who were playing in the yard suddenly poured into the house.

"Wash your hands and assign tasks!" shouted again, several basins of water were prepared in the house, everyone washed their hands, and came to Jin'an and Xiao Banyu.

In addition to the children, the gentlemen were also there, but the children didn't plan to let the gentlemen follow in the matter of making dumplings.

"Sir, just leave the dumpling making to us, you can rest, if it's boring, you can play cards, or test us on the side."

It's kind of a game that we usually play together.

A few gentlemen sit aside, assign a task, they get up, the children take over, and whoever gets stuck will be punished.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the punishment can be replaced by something else, such as reciting a poem, singing a song, dancing or something.

No matter how bad it is, two people can go out and compare it, and they can also help the fun.

"Then let's test you." Playing cards or something, gentlemen are really not interested.

Originally, Jin'an wanted the gentlemen to go home for the New Year, and it was really hard to teach them here.

But most of them stayed behind to accompany the children for the New Year.

The children are very grateful for this.

So, after the children had a good division of labor, a gentleman came up with a question and started it, and the children were busy while continuing together according to the rules.

Because it is a dumpling, the action is too big and gray, so if you need to be punished, you will put it aside for the time being, and when the dumplings are finished, everyone will get together and watch them accept the punishment one by one.

If you really make a comparison, whether it is Jiangnan or Haicheng, it is not as lively as Suicheng.

This is also normal, after all, there are more children in Suicheng.

On the Haicheng side, there are three main forces for making dumplings, and on the Jiangnan side, the main ones are Yun Niang and Lu Zhewu.

Jin Xuan wanted to help, but Yun Niang and Lu Zhewu didn't let him, so he was allowed to put dumplings in a bad way.

In fact, he can also wrap it, it's not too troublesome, but Yun Niang and Lu Zhewu are afraid that he will touch the wound.

As a result, he became a small half of the main force, and he actually couldn't help anything, so he was mainly responsible for eating at the end.

While making dumplings, while talking about the plan for the new year, after Jinxuan's matter, Yun Niang's movements were faster.

"Sister Yun, just follow your plan, you don't have to do anything for me deliberately."

Jin Xuan knew that because of him, he was injured, and this matter was not only for Yun Niang, but also for other shopkeepers.

This time it's him, but what about next time? Who knows what else those people and dogs can do when they jump over the wall?

"That's not what I said, it can't be regarded as for you, I'm the one who gains, don't take it to heart."

After getting along for so long, Yun Niang knew Jin Xuan's character, so she smiled and comforted him.

"Anyway, now you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't leave any root causes, otherwise not only will I not be able to explain to your sister, but I will not be able to go away."

In order to recuperate from Jinxuan's injuries, Yun Niang bought a lot of nourishing medicinal materials, and of course, she also consulted the doctor about what can and can't be used.

Jinxuan's foundation is still good, although he suffered when he was a child, but for so many years, the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, coupled with the replenishment of the food in the space, the foundation has long been good.

Yun Niang's medicinal materials were used, although they could be used, but they still made up for his nosebleeds, so in the end, those medicinal materials were given to the shopkeepers.

Jin Xuan didn't need it at all.
