The old man glanced at his grandson and said angrily: "Hmph, it's really not big or small." Don't go and rest yet, running around on a cold day, beware of my great-grandson! ”

After that, he turned his back on his hand, muttered a few words in his mouth, and left without looking back.

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Xin Yao finally fell into Xiao Han's arms, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, did I act well?" ”

The man leaned closer and bit Xin Yao's ear and whispered, "The moment you threw yourself into my arms, you played the best!" ”

Xin Yao pursed her lips, didn't say a word, and said in her heart, just your expressionless acting skills with a straight face and only one roar, you can still see how well I acted......

……

At night, after the woman fell asleep, Xiao Han got up and went to the West Garden.

Xiao Ting was half-leaning on the bed, waiting for his grandson to come.

Xiao Han sat on the edge of the bed, told his grandfather everything that had happened in these days, and said at the end: "Grandfather, don't worry, everything is in plan." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Ting looked at his grandson's emaciated face without saying a word, and said for a long time: "The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, only the clothes are not important." My grandfather was old and couldn't help much, so he just looked forward to good news. ”

Xiao Han said: "Grandfather, grandson will not let you down, you wait!" Xiao Ting's eyes were deep, but his face was full of sadness: "Xiao Han, it's been twenty years, and it's finally almost there!" ”

For a while, the grandfather and grandson thought of the graceful woman, their eyes were red, and they were silent.

After a while, Xiao Ting came back to his senses and said with a smile: "In everything, listen to your daughter-in-law's opinion, that girl is really a good person." If I have such a great-granddaughter, I am afraid that I will wake up with a smile in my dreams at night. ”

"Doesn't your old man often talk about his great-grandson, why is this going to have another great-granddaughter?"

Xiao Ting glanced at his grandson expressionlessly, and snorted coldly: "I want a great-grandson like you, who can neither speak nor make me happy, and often can't see people, so it's useless." ”

……

On the night of the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Xiao Han went out of the city with men and horses in black clothes and went straight to Yanshan.

On the same day, Xin Yao received a message that Yan Huanyuan had entered Huguang and everything was fine.

On this day, Yan Sixteen, who was far away in the northwest, threw the secret letter in his hand into the brazier, with a strange expression on his face, and was silent for a long time.

……

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Xiao Shi, the eldest lady of the Du family, who had been banned for several months, sat beside Du Yunpeng steadily, took the tea handed by Aunt Lu from the concubine, took a sip, and rewarded Aunt Lu with a golden silk ruby. Du Tianwei, who was on the side, saw that her mother was much thinner, turned her back and quietly wiped her tears.

……

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Danyue took the reward of Mrs. Xu and returned to Xiao Mansion in a carriage. Seeing the familiar masters and sisters, they cried profusely, and distributed the gifts they had prepared one by one to everyone.

On this day, Zheng Liang's two aunts suddenly felt unwell, and the doctor took a look, because they were both pregnant, and the Zheng family was overjoyed.

Jiang Xinshan, who had just returned to Zheng's house for a few days, learned the news, her silver teeth clenched, and her face was extremely ugly.

……

On the 29th of the lunar month, the cook lady of Xiao Mansion began to kill chickens and sheep, busy with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. At night, the man returned home.

Xin Yao saw that his chapped lips were faintly oozing blood from the wind, and she secretly felt distressed for a long time.

On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, the four corners of the side hall of the west courtyard are supported by burning charcoal basins, which are as warm as spring, and the table is full of various cups and wine utensils, cold dishes, and hot dishes. The chef Meizi spent countless efforts to make a table of fragrant and unique dishes, and the three people at the table had a great appetite.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, paying attention to a festive situation, Xin Yao asked people to open a few tables outside to reward the people in the mansion.

Halfway through the meal, there were several managers in the house, and the steward came to toast with wine glasses, and Xiao Han did not refuse, relying on the good amount of wine, all of them were cut off. Seeing that the uncle was so casual, the stewards hugged Xiao Han excitedly and toasted a few more glasses.

Xin Yao nodded at Mother Li, and Mother Li walked outside and took out the red envelopes prepared in advance to reward everyone. Weiyun was crowded in the crowd, and after grabbing it for a long time, she grabbed her share, and she laughed happily.

The two brothers, Guisheng and Guiming, gave each other a look, squeezed coldly to their beloved women, and secretly stuffed the red envelope they had just grabbed into the hands of Weiyun and Danyue. Only the faint cloud, the light moon was so ashamed that she was busy hiding it in the chaos.

Since the death of his daughter and wife, Xiao Ting is most afraid of the New Year's holiday, and every Chinese New Year's Eve is just to take his grandson to have a reunion dinner, and he hasty things. When the people saw that the master was not interested, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and they all ate their own meals, and they should go to the night and keep the year. The Chinese New Year's Eve of Xiao Mansion passed silently year after year.

Xiao Ting thought that at this time next year, there would be one more person in the house, and the excitement would be better than a few points this year, so he was indescribably happy, so he drank a few more glasses, and he didn't even care about eating, clamoring to watch the fireworks in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Xin Yao had already asked Xiao Qing to prepare all kinds of fireworks, which were neatly placed one by one, and with a few cannon shots, gorgeous fireworks were lit, blooming in the night sky with all kinds of wonderful dances.

At this time, how can anyone take care of eating, throw the dishes and chopsticks and run to the west courtyard, holding their heads high, staring at them without blinking, the firelight reflects the smiling faces, making people feel that the happiness of the world is nothing more than that.

Xiao Han looked down at the woman in his arms, his red lips were gently raised, his nose was small and delicate, and his deep dark eyes were as bright as pearls. He gathered the cloak on her body for her, lowered his head, kissed the woman's soft hair, and said gently: "Be careful of catching a cold!" ”

Xin Yao only cared about the fireworks in front of her, and before she had time to think deeply, she drilled into the man's arms, and said casually: "Isn't it you?" ”

Xiao Han didn't speak again, his eyes seemed to move to the brightness of the night sky, his hand around the woman tightened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth spread slightly.

"I don't know what my mother and brother are doing at this time?" Xin Yao sighed.

"Missed them?"

Xin Yao nodded obediently, but said: "It's better to be in the south, if it's in Beijing, I'm afraid that this year, I will not be able to live a good life." ”

Xiao Han thought about his father-in-law's several letters, and said with a smile: "When the capital is over, I will accompany Yaoyao back to the south to live for a few days, and see what the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are like!" ”

Jiang Xinyao chuckled and said: "I'm afraid that watching the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River is fake, and watching the beauty of the water town is real!" ”

Xiao Han lowered his head, bit her earlobe and said, "Don't worry, when I get back to the room, I have time to slowly watch the beauties of the water town!" ”

Jiang Xinyao made love to her when she saw the man in public, her face turned red as soon as she brushed it, she raised her foot and twisted it a few times towards the man's clean boots.

The man had rough skin and thick meat, and he didn't care about it, he raised his eyebrows proudly, and said loudly to the middle of the courtyard: "Put more, put it all out, grandma likes to see it!" ”

……

On the first day of the first lunar month, the three masters of the Xiao family all wore new clothes and came to the small ancestral hall at the back of the garden to bow down.

After the ceremony, the old lady took out two red envelopes from her arms and handed them to the husband and wife. When Xin Yao saw that there was a red envelope to take, she smiled like a kitten who had only got a fat fish, and her eyes were bright.

Xiao Han took advantage of the old lady's inattention and secretly sent the red envelope he had just gotten to Xin Yao. Jiang Xinyao smiled like a kitten with two fat fish, and her eyes were bright and bright.

Xiao Han secretly claimed to be a stranger, how many good things she got in the past, and I didn't see her smile like this, how two red envelopes that were too old, as if she had a big baby.

Taking advantage of the no-man's land, Xiao Han secretly asked Mother Li, and Mother Li smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be surprised, grandma has been like this since she was a child, and she personally collects all the New Year's money she gets every year, and no one can touch it." ”

"Why is that?" …

Mother Li said with a smile: "Grandma said that if you have to press the money for the years, it means that she has gone through another year in this world." Oh, it's weird, and the old slave doesn't understand it. ”

Xiao Han's eyes darkened and he was silent.

……

On the second day of the first lunar month, Xiao Jingxian took the family to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady, Xiao Han personally went to the gate of the mansion to welcome people in, and the Jiang Mansion became lively all of a sudden.

The old lady wore a newly made dress today, with bright colors and a particularly energetic look. Seeing daughters, sons-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters brushing together, there are a lot of them, smiling so much that they can't see their teeth, and they look like they are a few years younger.

Jiang Xinyao looked at Du Tianwei with a smile while kowtowing to the old lady, and secretly glanced at her. Looking at my aunt's face again, compared to three or four months ago, although it was already very good, it was still a little pale, and it was obviously not well adjusted.

Uncle's face is not very good, the cyan under his eyes is faintly visible, and there seem to be a few more wrinkles in the center of his eyebrows. All over the world, who doesn't know that Du Fu is the mother family of King Jing, and the fall of King Jing can be imagined as soon as the fate of the Du family comes.

Du Tianxiang's house is still the same as the sky is falling, what can you do with me, but after a closer look, there is a touch of melancholy in his eyes, lingering. Thinking that he is in the deep palace, worrying all day long, it is rare to be able to only have this melancholy in his eyes.

On the other hand, Du Tianfei looked at Si Swenwen, a scholar who turned his ears to what was going on outside the window and only read the books of sages.

Giving a salute to the old lady, Xiao Han helped Xin Yao, knelt on the kneeling mat handed by the maid, and gave a big salute to the uncle-in-law and aunt of the head. As soon as her head was knocked over, Xin Yao was helped up by her aunt, and suddenly there was a big red envelope in her hand.

After meeting the elders, the juniors became warm.

As soon as Du Tianxiang saw Xin Yao's face, he joked and begged for a red envelope.

Xin Yao glanced at him with disgust, and gave the gifts prepared in advance to Du Tianxiang, Du Tianfei, and Du Tianwei, the three brothers and sisters, and only made the three of them so happy that they even said that their cousins and sisters-in-law were generous.

After sitting for a while, Du Yunpeng glanced at Xiao Han and Tianxiang, and the three of them went to the outer courtyard to discuss things.

Du Tianfei was worried about Xin Yao's books, and he had long been thinking about wanting to take a look, and after giving the old lady a gift, he was taken to the East Courtyard by Mother Li.

The women spoke in one of the side halls. Xiao Jingxian obviously had something to say to Xin Yao, and forcibly supported her daughter to the old lady's side

Du Tianwei hadn't seen Xin Yao for half a year, and she had something to say, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother's wishes, so she had to honestly run to the old lady and laugh.

Xiao Jingxian glanced at Xin Yao, and the two understood, 11 (Miss Jiang Si.. /0/602/)--

( Miss Jiang Si )
