Chapter 157: Keeping the Year 3

"The prince, the princess, the county lord, the little prince-"

Someone outside the door ran over at great speed, gasping for breath, waiting outside the door for a report.

"What's the matter, in a hurry?"

An Yi is coaxing An An and An Luo, these two dolls, who are too young, keep vigil with adults, their spirits are naturally not as good as adults, and they are already a little noisy and want to sleep.

Especially Anxin, who is a female doll, An Luo can still reprimand with a straight face, but Anxin is a little doll who can't say or scold, and it's too late for Anyi to feel distressed, let alone reprimand her.

At first, you can use toys to coax their attention, but at this time, the two of them have lost their patience and just want to sleep and let them go here!

It just so happened that at this time, someone came to report.

"It's the head of the palace, who said that he came to bless him!"

The servant who was guarding behind An Yi immediately went to the door to ask, knowing that this was someone from the palace, he immediately reported it, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.

"At this time?"

Gao Wei couldn't believe it, the blessing in this palace is that at the end of the year, the emperor will ask the ministers of the interior to prepare a booklet, and every official will have a reward.

This blessing, two days ago, the palace has been sent, at that time comfort is not there, it is Gao Wei Yingzhi acceptance, this is keeping the year, Chinese New Year's Eve, how can there be another reward?

On Chinese New Year's Eve, how can it be a family reunion, how can the emperor be?

"Can you ask clearly?"

An Yi didn't say anything, just waited silently, waiting for the servant to ask the cause and effect clearly, and come over to make it clear to him.

"It was said that it was today's palace banquet, the two princes were in the palace to keep the New Year's Eve, and they played a game with the concubine Niangniang, and they got two treasures, and they were specially sent over, thinking of making a New Year's gift for our county lord!"

The servant was beside me, and saluted me, and I sat down by the brazier, and looked at him blankly for a few moments before I reacted.

It turned out to be Yu Xin and Yu Ling, the jokes that came out of these two princes.

"An Ning, you can follow and take a look!"

An Yi didn't move, this is a gift from the prince, I'll just keep it.

"Father, I want to go with my sister!"

Ammon got up after me.

"Go ahead!"

An Yi didn't care about us, even Gao Wei also had a headache with two little dolls, and the things sent by the palace were nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and she didn't care.

Ammon and I went out together, followed by the people guarding the door, to the place where the gift was.

"What about people?"

As a result, on the spot, only two square boxes covered with red cloths, still placed on the ground, and the eunuchs who came to deliver things were gone.

"Back to the county lord, the prince, the father-in-law has urgent matters, and he has already left first, but the things here, the county lord will definitely like it!"

The one who stayed there and waited was a man from our own house, and looking at his appearance, it seemed that he already knew what was inside.

"What, it's still on the ground, and you don't even have a tray?"

Amon smacked his tongue and circled around the two square boxes, the red cloth on them was indeed a fine silk, but this thing was placed on the ground like this, and it was really impossible to see what was good about it.

"County Lord, you will know when you open it!"

The servants looked at me and waited for me, but I looked at the two boxes in a daze.

This shape is a big and a small one, but it is really calculated, and it is not very big, one is two palms big, one is four palms wide, and the square box is so good that it is placed on the ground, which is indeed incomprehensible.

Let's say it's not precious, but the red satin is excellent, let's say it's precious, and throw it on the ground so casually.

"Open it and take a look!"

Ammon stretched out his hand several times, and when he was about to touch the silk, he shrank back again, very curious about what was inside, and couldn't help urging me.

I stared at the silk as if I wanted to make a hole in it, but no matter how much I looked at it, I didn't know the truth of it without pulling it open.

After thinking about it, I also made up my mind and reached out.

The red silk forging fell loosely on the top, and when he stretched out his hand and pulled it, it fell, revealing something on the ground.

It was two boxes, one larger, made of wood, and there were holes on them, the holes were not big, and if you looked closely, the wooden boxes were still a little thick, and you couldn't see through the holes at a glance.

"Does this box still need to be covered with red satin?"

Amon squatted down, his fingers poked the box, hard, and there was still some weight, and it was still a little difficult to lift it with both hands:

"There's no gold or silver jewelry in there, is it?"

In Ammon's cognition, the first guess is gold, silver and jewelry, and then there are antiques and other possible things.

"I don't know, open it and take a look!"

I shook my head, thinking that I would be able to see the real face under the red satin, but I didn't think about opening it again.

"How do you open the box?"

Amon looked around for the opening, and was stunned for a long time, but he didn't have a clue.

"I didn't open my mouth!"

Seeing that he didn't make any next move for a long time, I also squatted down and looked at the two boxes on the ground with him, and sure enough, the box was integrated, as if it had grown like this, I studied with him for a long time, and I didn't open it.

"The county lord, the little prince, the prince and the princess, call the two of you back!"

It's been a long time since I came out, and An Yi sent someone to invite him, and it was early in the morning, and I and An Meng had to go back to keep the New Year and greet him.

"Forget it, let's go back first, you can take this thing back and figure it out for yourself!"

Anmeng gave up, he really couldn't find a way, this black wind blinded, and he couldn't see where the organ was, and it was not good to find someone to violently disassemble it on Chinese New Year's Eve, so it was better to leave it for tomorrow.

"If you can't open it, I'll go to you tomorrow and think of another way with you."

Amon added, thinking in his heart that he would have to bring the tools tomorrow, and if he still couldn't open them, he could only smash them.

"That's all there is to it!"

I asked the servants to cover the red silk again, and let them carry the two boxes directly to my courtyard, and then I went back with Ammon.

Back in the hall, An Yi and Gao Wei, a sleeping doll in a person's arms, saw us coming in, and immediately made a silent movement, and I tiptoed back to my place with An Meng.

Anxin and An Luo were taken away by the nurses, and when they walked away, An Yi asked what gifts he had given and why he had been gone for so long.

After knowing that it was two boxes that could not be opened, I didn't ask any more questions, and the family was happy, and talked for a while around the charcoal basin, and the bell of the new year rang.

The sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside lit up the entire night sky, and the silent late night suddenly became lively, and all the servants in the house went outside the hall to say good New Year to the lord.

When the New Year's greetings and the lord's reward were finished, it was already a pour of incense, and everyone was ready to go back to their lodgings to rest.
