Soon, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ordinary people should be busy with family reunions on this day, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, but the important ministers in Kyoto are not thinking about their own night banquet, but on the banquet in the palace.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there were several banquets in the palace, and the emperor and queen feasted the courtiers and their families during the day, and then held a family banquet at night.

Yongning Hou Gu Lin is a marquis, so he naturally has the opportunity to participate in the palace banquet.

Gu Cong, as the prince, got married again this year, so he went to the banquet with Gu Lin, and the Fang family took Mrs. Shizi and daughter Gu Ningwei to the queen's palace for a banquet.

Xu didn't go to this year's palace banquet, the queen mother was old and couldn't stand the toss, so this year's palace banquet was not mixed, and Xu didn't enter the palace to brush up on his sense of existence.

The main thing is that with the grade of the Gu family, it is not good to go to too many people.

Fang's took Gu Ningwei into the palace, it was Xu who personally explained, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had the same idea, first let Gu Ningwei register in front of the queen, and maybe it would be a help to enter the palace in the future.

However, they thought it well, but they didn't know what the queen thought in her heart.

This person's heart is the most insufficient, always thinking that everything in the world is under his control, thinking that he is a smart person in the world, and everyone else is a fool and a stupid person.

As everyone knows, others think you are stupid and ignorant, and there is no cure.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve seems to be exceptionally cold, since the morning the cold wind has been blowing, the people who are busy in the yard have tightened their necks, eager to hurry up to finish the things in hand, can go to the house to roast the fire, warm up.

It's easy to get busy for the second half of the day, and everything that should be prepared is almost ready, and the big guy is a little relieved.

But I couldn't rest, and after a while, the big house family who went to the palace for a banquet came back, and then, each room was led by the old lady Xu and went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

The Yongning Hou Mansion is the best room in the main branch of the Gu family, so there is no need to go to the ancestral hall of the clan to worship the ancestors, just in the ancestral hall of the family.

When the auspicious time comes, everyone enters the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, a series of affairs are busy, and the hour is getting late, and after a short rest, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet can be held.

Due to the cold climate during the festival and the heavy wind today, the Shen family and the Song family placed the night banquet in the warm hall of the Songhe Hall.

After everyone was busy worshipping their ancestors and drinking a cup of tea, the sky began to darken, and everyone went to Xu's Songhe Hall together.

The soft sedan chair was carried to the door of Songhe Hall, and the masters came down and moved to the warm hall.

There were already several tables set up inside.

The main table is the Xu family and Yongning Hou Gu Lin and the Fang couple, Gu Cong and his wife, the Shen family and his son Gu Yan, and the three-room couple, however, the Fang family and other daughters-in-law cannot sit down immediately, and they have to serve the Xu family first, and wait for the Xu family to serve almost before they can enter the table.

On the next side is the second table, where Gu Ningwei, An Sheng and other young ladies are seated, and a few aunts.

Because it was the New Year's Festival, in order to show kindness, Xu asked his aunt to come over with him, and asked them to sit with a few young ladies.

A little farther out are the tables of the stewards.

Because it was a family banquet and a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the tables were not separated by screens, and they were placed next to each other in the warm hall.

The cold wind outside, the sound of firecrackers continues, the four corners of the warm hall are placed with charcoal basins, the middle and high schools are burning with good incense, everyone is happy, dressed up, flowers, a New Year's atmosphere.

The maid rushed in, sent the wine and food, and when the wine and food were complete, Gu Lin got up, led everyone to toast to Xu's, and said a pleasing greeting, Xu's was happy, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were a few more smiles.

Under the New Year's Festival, the atmosphere is harmonious, as if the unpleasantness not long ago did not happen at all, everyone has a sincere smile on their faces, you come and go, push the cup and change the lamp, happy no.

was eating and drinking, Gu Cong's daughter-in-law's face suddenly changed, and she covered her mouth and tilted her head.

The family was startled and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Xu's face was displeased at first, and then he suddenly became happy, pointing at Fang and saying, "Quick, call the house doctor to take a look." ”

Fang also reacted, and hurriedly called someone to call the house doctor.

The Xu family also ordered someone to send Gu Cong's daughter-in-law to the warm pavilion next to him to rest.

The ladies at the second table were all ignorant, not knowing what was going on, but Aunt Hong, who smiled and sighed, and then looked meaningfully at Aunt Fang who was sitting diagonally opposite.

This Aunt Fang is the niece of the Fang family, who was later called by the Xu family, asked Gu Cong to take her into the room and carried her aunt.

Aunt Hong's eyes were full of deep meaning, but Aunt Fang didn't react as if she didn't understand anything.

Soon, the house doctor came, and Fang, as a mother-in-law, took the house doctor to see Gu Cong's daughter-in-law.

After a short while, the Fang clan walked out with a happy face again.

Then, before the person approached, the voice arrived first, "Good thing, great thing, mother, daughter-in-law will give you good luck first!" ”

As soon as Xu heard Fang's words, his cheeks immediately covered with joy, and he hurriedly asked, "Is this true?!" ”

While speaking, Fang's family had already come closer, and he hurriedly saluted Xu's blessing body, and said happily: "Isn't it, it's true, the pulse of the house doctor's diagnosis is that it has been more than two months, mother, you have to be a grandmother!" ”

"Okay, okay, this is a big happy event, quickly ask someone to set up another table in the warm pavilion, and ask Cong's daughter-in-law to eat there by herself Don't toss her, if she is tired, tell her to go back first later." Xu Shi was happy to smile.

Only then did everyone react, it turned out that it was for this.

Aunt Hong's meaningful glance was also clear, and the people at the second table couldn't help but secretly think, no wonder, no wonder she wanted to look at Aunt Fang like that.

You must know that this aunt Fang was also pregnant before, but she was not blessed, and the child was not saved, and now, her husband's wife is pregnant, and her status in the house is even more embarrassing.

Because of this idea, for a while, everyone was quite sympathetic to Aunt Fang, of course, this sympathy couldn't help but be mixed with a bit of indifferent ridicule that didn't matter to them.

Among them, only An Sheng didn't feel anything.

To put it bluntly, what qualifications does Aunt Hong have to laugh at Aunt Fang, and where is her identity more noble than Aunt Fang?

Let's talk about other people, except for Gu Ningwei, who is a serious descendant, who else has a transcendent status?

Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter......

Because Gu Cong's daughter-in-law was diagnosed as pregnant, this happy event made Xu's interest even higher, and after a few rounds of drinking, he almost drank too much.

It was still Fang Shi who persuaded in time, so that Xu Shi did not get drunk on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Fang clan was alive again, shuttling back and forth between the banquets, coaxing the Xu clan to laugh, that posture had the meaning of overshadowing all the limelight of the Shen clan and the Song clan.

Shen and Song knew that she was being proud now, and they didn't grab her edge directly, and they were secretly looking for an opportunity and preparing to postpone it again.
