Chapter 381: New Year's Banquet

When he went out, Xu Saburo reached out and pinched Cheng Xi's little face, and reprimanded in a low voice, "How dare you say anything, you don't cover your mouth." ”

Cheng Xi pursed his lips and retorted weakly, "Where is it?" ”

Xu Sanlang sighed helplessly, tightened the cloak on Cheng Xi's body, hugged Cheng Xi and sped up his pace, and changed the topic and said, "It's very cold outside, let's go back quickly." ”

When they went back to the small courtyard where they lived, it was actually Aunt Qin waiting here, Cheng Xi asked suspiciously, "Aunt Qin, aren't you taking care of a hundred years old?" ”

Aunt Qin replied with a smile, "I fell asleep at the age of 100, Xiaoshi took care of it, the master and the lady were also tired, the slave and maid let the girls put the hot spring water, and the clothes were ready, and the master and wife went to soak in it to get rid of the fatigue." ”

In this small courtyard, although Princess Rui has arranged for her subordinates, Aunt Qin is not very at ease, no matter when, she and Xiaoshi will stay by Cheng Xi's side to serve.

Cheng Xi looked at Aunt Qin's slightly meaningful smile, her face was slightly red and a little speechless, and she had to bite the bullet and answer, "Thank you, Aunt Qin." ”

Aunt Qin replied with a smile, "Then the slave and maid will not disturb the master and wife, everything is ready inside, and the master and the lady will rest early after soaking." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out, and beckoned to the maid at the door, "What are you doing standing stupidly?" What should you do, don't disturb the master and his wife to rest. ”

After that, the people who were waiting in this room disappeared without a trace, driving away this group of eyesores, and Aunt Qin also thoughtfully helped them close the door.

Cheng Xi looked at the door speechlessly, but Xu Sanlang on the side chuckled and said, "Aunt Qin is thoughtful, I was afraid that someone would disturb us, so I called them away." ”

Cheng Xi turned his head and glared at Xu Sanlang with a red face, then walked inside and said, "Don't you want to take a hot spring?" Hurry up, or the water will be cold. ”

After all, this bath is not a spring, and the hot springs that attracted it will soon become cooler.

With a smile on his face, Xu Saburo quickly caught up with Cheng Xi, and said, "It's been a long time since I've been bathing with my wife for my husband, and I really miss it." ”

"Shameless ......"

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, although Cheng Xi is shy, he didn't stop Xu Sanlang from treating her, they are husband and wife, and it is normal.

However, Xu Sanlang may have been empty for a long time, and he can really toss, Cheng Xi was so tired that he was about to fall asleep, so Xu Sanlang reluctantly let her go.

As a result, the next day, early in the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Cheng Xi was sore and couldn't get up in bed.

Originally, because he slept too late last night, Cheng Xi was sleeping heavily in the morning, but he was awakened by the bustling sound of firecrackers outside, and he couldn't sleep if he wanted to continue sleeping, so he thought about simply getting up and forgetting it, and didn't want to just stand up, so he fell back sore again.

Xu Sanlang, who had just gotten up and was getting dressed on the side, heard the movement on the bed, and hurriedly turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cheng Xi glared at Xu Sanlang angrily and scolded, "Aren't it all you?" Aches all over the body. ”

Xu Sanlang also showed a slight embarrassment on his face, knowing that he was too out of control, some Meng Lang said apologetically, "Then I can't afford it first, I'll help you press it later." ”

Cheng Xi snorted coldly, turned his face to the side and didn't bother to take care of him, after Xu Sanlang was dressed neatly, he went over to sit down on the edge of the bed, covered Cheng Xi with a quilt, kissed Cheng Xi's exposed half of his face outside, and said, "You lie down for a while, I'll go outside and give an order, and let people bring breakfast directly." ”

Seeing that Cheng Xi didn't answer, he knew that he was making a joke with himself, so he got up and went out first, Xu Sanlang was not worried about Cheng Xi's anger, just the temperament of his little daughter-in-law, he touched the door clearly, and with the amount of half a pillar of incense, he could forget that he was angry in the blink of an eye.

However, this time Cheng Xi's half-pillar incense did not dissipate, because the soreness in her body reminded her at all times, Xu Sanlang had to coax her, personally served Cheng Xi to wash, ate breakfast, and pressed Cheng Xi up and down again, Cheng Xi felt a little more comfortable, and did not show Xu Sanlang's face again.

In the past half a day, no one bothered them, it may be that Aunt Qin was sympathetic to their little couple's reunion, and did not let anyone come to disturb them, even the hundred years old did not come to disturb them.

However, at noon, Cheng Xi had to get up, this was in Ruiwang's Mansion, not their Lihua Village, and they could do whatever they wanted.

Because at noon, the family wants to go to worship the gods together, and this matter was told to them yesterday, it is the custom here to worship the gods of all walks of life, and pray for the gods of all walks of life to keep the coming year safe, and the wealth is extensive......

Fortunately, Xu Sanlang's technique of massaging and pressing acupoints was not bad, and at noon, Cheng Xi felt that his body was not so uncomfortable.

Early in the morning, he was taken by Xiao Shi to disturb the 100-year-old of Wenyuan Gongzi and Ruyu, and finally came back at this time, and then the three of them packed up, put on the clothes specially prepared for the sacrifice to the gods, and followed the subordinates to the altar.

It turned out that there was a special altar behind the Ruiwang Mansion, Cheng Xi followed the past and looked left and right curiously, on a repaired high platform, there was a big Sandodin incense burner, and various tributes were placed on the altar in front, and there was a Taoist priest standing next to him, holding a dust whisk, his eyes slightly closed, and his mouth was chanting scriptures.

After that, Cheng Xi followed everyone, a bunch of tedious kneeling and worshipping incense, tossing for a while before it was finished, after worshipping, King Rui beckoned everyone to go to the main hall for lunch.

Gongzi Wen Yuan is not from the Rui Wangfu, so he did not participate in the worship ceremony of the Rui Wangfu, and someone has already gone to pick them up, and he is already waiting for everyone to come over for dinner in the main hall.

This time, Wenyuan Gongzi was with Ruyu, and Ruyu was not standing behind Wenyuan Gongzi, but was pulled by Wenyuan Gongzi to sit beside him, where would King Rui not be able to see the cattiness between the two people, seeing that Wenyuan Gongzi was so attentive to a slave boy, although he was a little disdainful in his heart, but this person was Wenyuan Gongzi, so he didn't see it.

The table has already been laid out with food, and there are a lot of chickens, ducks and fish, which is really hearty.

Everyone sat down one by one, and then the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, and after the firecrackers were released, King Rui took the lead in speaking, rarely losing his usual seriousness, and opened with a soft tone and a smile, "There is a New Year banquet tonight, our family can't get together alone, today noon is also our family banquet for the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wenyuan Gongzi is a good brother with Zihao, and he is not an outsider, just treat this as his own home, don't be polite." ”

Gongzi Wenyuan's bow was a reply, and he didn't intend King Rui to continue to speak, so he heard King Rui continue to speak, "This is also the first time in so many years, it is rare for our family to get together, and I hope that we can get together like today every year in the future, come, everyone toast." ”

After drinking the first glass of wine, King Rui beckoned everyone to eat, there was a very noisy Ge Shu on the table, but he would not follow any food and silence, and he did not look at King Rui's warning eyes at all.

After lunch, he beckoned everyone to go to the martial arts arena of King Rui's Mansion to watch the opera and listen to the music, the program is richer than Cheng Xi imagined, she doesn't understand the Peking Opera that she doesn't understand, and then the Jiangnan pipa tune she likes also has it, and the show is changed one by one, but I don't think it's boring.

Listening to the boring program, Cheng Xi asked Zhao Yu on the side, only to know that this troupe is a well-known troupe in the Jiangnan area, there are all kinds of programs, and it is very popular with people in the Jiangnan area.

There is a pastime program, the time flies very fast, an hour has passed in a blink of an eye, and the group is a little tired of listening, King Rui and Princess Rui got up and left first, and told them to remember to go to the banquet hall in the evening to participate in the New Year's banquet.

As soon as King Rui and Princess Rui left, Cheng Xi and his party were a little tired of looking, so they all got up and went back to the small courtyard to rest for a while.

Cheng Xi Xu Saburo took the hundred years old back, and after a short rest, it was already evening, and it was almost time to go to the banquet hall.

Aunt Qin pulled Cheng Xi to pick it up, and it was even more radiant, plus a group of three people wearing the same red winter coat designed by Cheng Xi herself, with a circle of white rabbit fur inlaid on the neckline, it looked really eye-catching, very eye-catching, and Aunt Qin couldn't help but praise her while picking up the crown of her hair for the hundred-year-old.

Aunt Qin and Xiao Shi also changed into new and festive clothes, and they were beaming with joy when they looked at it, full of the taste of the New Year, and the group went to the banquet hall.

At this time, there were already a lot of people sitting in the banquet hall, Cheng Xi secretly looked at it, many of the dust washing banquets of Prince Wenyuan had been seen before, but there were too many people toasting, and she didn't pay too much attention to it, so at most, she was familiar with the face, and she didn't remember what person was called or what was at all.

Those people watched Xu Sanlang and his party enter the door, and they were all secretly amazed, and sighed in their hearts, even if the eldest son of Rui Wangfu grew up in the countryside, the nobility on his body could not be concealed, and the little daughter-in-law next to him, obviously heard that she was a little girl from the countryside, and she didn't want to give birth to such a smart and moving water, and the two of them stood together, it was really a match made in heaven.

These people sighed secretly in their hearts, but with a decent smile on their faces, Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi, who followed the door, greeted him, and Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi also responded with their heads bowed, and then walked towards the place where they were originally sitting.

When they arrived at the front position, Princess Rui Wang Rui and Geshu Zhao Yu had not come over, but Gongzi Wen Yuan was already sitting in the position, holding a cup and sipping it lightly, but there was no trace of Ruyu behind him.

Seeing that Ruyu's position was still empty, Cheng Xi simply pulled Xu Sanlang over to the vacant position over there and sat down, and then asked Wenyuan Gongzi on the side, "Why didn't you see Ruyu?" ”

Gongzi Wen Yuan looked up at Cheng Xi and said with a light smile, "The weather is cold, so if you don't come to such a banquet, let him stay in the house and wait for me." ”

Cheng Xi thought about it, such a banquet is just a toast and toast, and the stomach can't be full, so it's better to stay in the house and be comfortable, but Xu Sanlang has to participate in this banquet, and she, Xu Sanlang's wife, of course, has to accompany him to participate.
