That night, Qilan appeared in Jia Min's boudoir, and after someone found out, he tossed Qilan a lot.

Qi Lan didn't say much when he saw Jia Min, but handed Jia Min a very delicate bracelet. "I will wear it with me in the future, this is made by the Tang family, and if you press here, you will shoot out a hardened steel needle, a total of nine." As he spoke, he pointed to a button for Jia Min to see.

Jia Min accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, I'll accept it with a cheeky face, this thing is really useful to me." ”

Qi Lan nodded expressionlessly. Later, he said: "Today, the Wang family saw a person in the backyard Merlin. ”

Jia Min said: "Who is it?" ”

Qi Lan told Jia Min about the conversation between the Wang family and the masked man in Merlin today.

"I followed the man out of Rongguo Mansion, he was very cautious, he went around all the way, and finally saw him enter a small courtyard next door to the Third Prince's Mansion."

Jia Min frowned and pondered: The Third Prince? How could it be the Three Princes? Although Wang Ziteng took refuge in the three princes, it was the fourth prince who ascended the throne in the end! At that time, the three princes had been demoted to commoners and confined in the imperial tomb. If the person behind the rockery with the Wang family that night was the third prince, how did the three princes avoid the heavy eyeliner and come to the Grand View Garden?

Jia Min was puzzled, so he asked Qilan to continue staring, focusing on Wang's dealings with this person.

On the second day of Jia Min and Ji, Lin Ruhai came to make a decision. Except for a pair of live geese, there is nothing special about the dowry. The bride price is the same as that of other big families, which is 20,000 taels of silver, but the antique calligraphy and painting have been given a lot, which makes Jia Yu drool. It's a pity that Jia Daishan ordered people to seal all the dowry gifts and store them in the Ripple Garden, and when Jia Min got married, they would go back with the dowry. Jia Mu didn't object, she didn't like those calligraphy and paintings at all, they were useless, and 20,000 taels of silver was not too much and not too little, so let Jia Min take them away! Jia Min knows the background of the Lin family, and is proud of Lin Ruhai's black belly.

Since the winter moon, Jia's mother has led the Zhang family, the Wang family's concubine and Jia Min to prepare for the New Year's gift for each good house. This year, Jia Zheng has joined the office, and many colleagues still need to give New Year's gifts, so there are more things to prepare and more exquisite.

When the gift list is set and the things are prepared according to the gift list, we enter the wax moon. So, the people of Rongguo Mansion began to go to various mansions to give New Year's gifts, and every day there were other families to Rongguo Mansion to give New Year's gifts. Jia Min has to try on the three sets of clothes worn almost every day, and then ask the embroidery girl to modify them.

Sent away the god of Vesta, held a ceremony for Jia Min, and finally arrived on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. The lights in the Rongguo Mansion are colorful, the windows in each house are bright and clean, and the windows are also pasted with bright red window flowers, there are five blessings, there are flowers blooming and rich, and there are hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren...... The entire Rongguo Mansion was filled with a joyful and joyful atmosphere.

Early in the morning, Jia Daishan first took Jia Yu and Jia Zheng to the Ningguo Mansion in the East Courtyard to worship their ancestors, and at that time, Jia Jing and Jia Zhen were already waiting in the ancestral hall. Although Jia Jing is the patriarch, he is a generation lower than Jia Daishan, so he stands in front with Jia Daishan, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng are behind, and Jia Zhen is at the end. First, Jia recited the sacrificial text, then led everyone to bow and bow, and finally offered incense in turn.

At noon, Jia Daishan's family had a reunion dinner with Jia Jing's family in Ningguo Mansion, and then returned to Rongguo Mansion.

In the evening, the family gathers together, with two seats for men and women, and a screen in the middle. The men were not happy at this table, but the atmosphere was strange on the women's side.

Zhang's diagnosis of Ximai half a month ago made Jia's mother very happy, and now she is not allowed to make rules, but sits and eats with Jia's mother and Jia Min. In this way, only the Wang family is serving Jia's mother with food. Originally, she was supposed to serve Jia Min, but she didn't want to, and Jia Min wouldn't let her.

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, it is reasonable to let the Wang family not have to serve and eat at the same table. But Jia Daishan was on the side of the screen, Jia Mu didn't dare to touch his brows, she didn't want to copy the house rules during the New Year.

At this time, Wang was full of hope that all the delicacies on the table were poison, why the whole family sat down to eat, and only she had to stand and serve the dead old woman's meal. Jia Daishan, who is old and immortal, embarrasses her everywhere, sooner or later she will want him to look good. She said in her heart, "Heaven is unfair, why is the Zhang family so lucky to be pregnant, but she has not yet had a relationship with Jia Zheng." Since Jia Zheng went to the study in the front yard, she seemed to be happy, and she never returned to the Millennium House, and she could see Jia Zheng when Jia Zheng went to Rongxi Hall to ask for peace. Thinking of today's preparations, Wang glanced at the screen, and then quietly gave Biyun a look, and Biyun retreated quietly when he saw it.

After the meal, the family withdrew from the flower hall and went to the main hall of Rongxi Hall to observe the New Year. In order to pass the time, Jia Mu pulled Jia Min and several of their female dependents to play leaf cards, Jia Min didn't like these, so she pulled Jia Yu to make up the number.

Jia Min saw that Jia Daishan was very bored and said: "Father, the former son Jiayue County Lord gave his daughter a pair of clouds, is the father willing to talk to his daughter for two games?" ”

"My sister is a chess player, and my father is also a master, I would like to take a look!" Jia Zheng excused himself on the side. Jia Daishan also nodded yes. Jia Min ordered Mo Lan to go back to Ripple Garden to get it. Mo Lan quickly took it back, and Jia Zhengqi said: "From here to my sister's courtyard, it takes a quarter of an hour to say that it takes a cup of tea, but this girl will come back in an instant, which shows that her light work is really powerful." ”

"Yes, their sisters are family heirlooms." As he spoke, he set the chessboard in place.

Jia Zheng heard that he had a calculation in his heart, so he said: "They are not born in the family, such a capable person is really condescending to be a dowry maid for his sister!" As he spoke, he also glanced at Jia Daishan's face.

Jia Daishan and Jia Min, the father and daughter, didn't hear it, and didn't mean to answer Jia Zheng's words, but began to fight on the chessboard. Seeing this, Jia Zheng walked over to watch the two play chess.

Jia Min often went down with Lin Ruhai in her previous life, and she herself was good at the sub-way, and her chess skills naturally spoke for themselves. And Jia Daishan is familiar with the art of war, and he is quite strategic, and his chess skills are naturally not bad. The two of you went back and forth and fell into a stalemate. In the end, it was Jia Min who narrowly won half of the game.

"My sister's chess skills have improved again, and my father is not far behind!" Jia Zheng clapped his hands on the side.

Over there, Jia Mu shouted: "Don't play, don't play!" The three of you are going to win all my old bottom today! ”

"Mother is looking at the New Year, let us follow you to be blessed! But after a while, the New Year's money can't be less for us! Jia Yu joked with a smile.

Jia Mu smiled and leaned back, and did not forget to pat Jia Yu's arm twice. When he arrived, considering that Zhang was now pregnant, Jia's mother asked her to go back to rest first. Zhang Shi looked at Jia Yu, and when he saw him nodding, he sued Jia Daishan and Jia Mu and went back to their East Cross Courtyard first. As soon as the Zhang family left here, the leaf card was naturally not enough, so the Wang family got up and said, "Mother, I'll go to the kitchen and watch them make some supper!" ”

Jia Mu glanced at a few people who were playing chess and said, "It's okay, at this hour, everyone is probably hungry." It's just good to simply get some of it, and save more food than you can eat. ”

Wang answered the call and left. When he was about to be a child, Wang brought someone in with a food box, "I asked the kitchen to prepare rice balls, and no one had a share," and said to Jia Yu: "Sister-in-law, I also ordered someone to send a bowl." ”

"Thank you brother and sister for remembering your sister-in-law."

"Yes, family, big brother doesn't have to be polite." Wang smiled.

Jia Mu smiled at Wang with satisfaction and took a bowl of rice balls from Wang. He also personally presented a bowl to Jia Daishan, Jia Yu, and Jia Zheng. When he gave it to Jia Min, Jia Min didn't eat it under the pretext that he was afraid of accumulating food. Wang ignored her, and took a bowl of rice balls and ate them by himself.

Not long after eating, it was time to eat. A group of people came to the courtyard to set off firecrackers and fireworks, Jia Min was afraid of the sound of firecrackers, so Jia Daishan helped her cover her ears. After the excitement, the people who were waiting collectively knelt down and kowtowed to the New Year. Jia Daishan, as the head of the family, gave everyone a big red envelope. Then, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng and Jia Min knelt down together and kowtowed to Jia Daishan and his wife, Jia Daishan and Jia Mu gave them red envelopes, and several people accepted them happily.

"Alright, let's all disperse! Everyone is also tired, go back early to rest, and get up early tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings! Jia's mother said, thought about it and said to Jia Zheng: "It's too late, Zheng'er will send your daughter-in-law back to the Millennium House!" Jia Min and the others saluted and went back to their respective courtyards.

Jia Zheng and Wang went back to the Millennium House together, and he always felt hot and unbearable along the way, and the Wang family next to him was very close to him, he could smell the fragrance of her body, and his head was not very clear.

Back in the house, the Wang family in the candlelight looked particularly gentle and graceful, really looking at the beauty under the lamp. Jia Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, and fell on the bed with Wang in his arms, and Wang showed a triumphant smile.
