Hua Hui, Hua Chen, and Hua Jin sat in the West Wing for a while.

The maid in the courtyard brought rice cakes.

It is a custom here to eat millet cake on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, which means rice cake and is high every year.

Following the customs, Hua Jin took the plate handed over by Bai Tao, picked a piece of diamond-shaped millet cake with osmanthus embedded in it with chopsticks, frowned and put it in his mouth.

saw his brother Hua Chen grinning and chewing a piece of ingot-shaped bean paste stuffed cake.

Seeing this, Hua Hui couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with the two of you today?" Didn't you like to eat millet cake the most in previous years? Now one frowns and the other grins, is this year's millet cake not delicious? ”

After speaking, he picked a piece of millet cake with preserved fruit embedded in it and ate it, and sighed as if he was very satisfied: "Our millet cake is still the most delicious, and I haven't eaten it for three years." ”

Hua Chen and Hua Jin looked at each other and smiled, Hua Jin blinked mischievously, and the two brothers and sisters pushed all the plates in front of them in front of Hua Hui, "Sister, eat all the three years' share." ”

Hua Hui shook her head helplessly, "You two little ghosts, the high-sounding ones pushed all the things you don't like to eat to your sister." ”

But seeing her younger siblings secretly covering their mouths and smiling, she felt that the smile was sweeter than the millet cake in her mouth.

After eating the cake, the three sisters put on their cloaks and went to the main room.

Hua Jin asked Hua Chen, "Brother, did your father get up when you came over?" ”

Since Yuping's death, Luo has been grounded, and the second master, Zhang Yufeng, has not stayed overnight in the inner courtyard.

Hua Chen shook his head, "He hasn't been in the outer courtyard often lately, and I don't know if my father came back last night." ”

Hua Hui said, "This is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and my father will always come back." ”

Hua Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, could it be that her amorous father has a new love?

Hopefully not the one she guessed.

The little maid guarding the door smiled and greeted them, and then opened the curtain to let the three masters go to the warm pavilion in the east room.

Luo was sitting on the big kang by the window, wearing an autumn-colored makeup gown, very calm and low-key, and Hua Rui and Hua Wei were standing in front of her.

Hua Jin knew that under the calm appearance, he didn't know what kind of turbulent waves had been set off.

Roche's repeated calculations are failing step by step, and she will definitely be bitten by mad dogs next.

As this series of calculations became more and more insidious, Hua Jin no longer wanted to maintain a calm and calm appearance with her.

Thinking of this, Hua Jin raised his lips slightly, and stepped forward with his brothers and sisters to greet Luo.

Luo Shi sat firmly on the kang and saw the three of them smiling and groaning, "There is more Hui'er in the family, and this year must be lively again." ”

Hua Jin felt that the body of the sister beside her stiffened, and couldn't help but take a step forward, raised her head to meet Luo's gaze, and then looked at the seventh girl Hua Wei, "Mother, don't put your mind on the three of us, the seventh sister is still young, and there are many places to take care of, don't forget that she is her mother's biological daughter." ”

As soon as Hua Jin's words fell, Hua Chen followed, "Mother, now that the children have grown up, at least they already know what to eat and what not to eat." He turned his head to look at Hua Wei again, "It's the seventh sister, there have been a lot of New Year's banquets in the past few days, so you have to be careful with the things you enter." ”

Hua Rui, the sixth girl on the side, had already stepped aside when their brothers and sisters came in, and at this time they were just watching their noses and noses.

And Luo and Hua Wei clenched the handkerchief in their hands almost at the same time, Hua Wei cleared her throat and was about to open her mouth, but the little maid guarding the door opened the curtain and came in, "Second lady, the second master sent a little maid in to talk for a while, please take the girls and young masters directly to Chaohui Courtyard to ask for peace, he won't come in, and will wait for you at Mrs. Tai's side." ”

After being robbed by Huachen Huajin in vain, and hearing the news that the second master didn't even enter her room at thirty, Luo only felt that there was a ball of anger rolling in his chest, but it was not good to attack in front of the juniors, so he could only grit his back molars and endure the anger first.

Hua Wei, who didn't think that she was young, stepped forward without saying a word, raised her hand and slapped the little girl, "A slave who has no eyesight, how can you interrupt this girl's speech." ”

This sudden slap hit the little maid to a stumbling stumble, but she could only endure the hot pain on her face and suddenly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "It's the slave's fault, the slave damned!" ”

Hua Hui saw that everything was done by her younger siblings to protect her, so she stepped forward and grabbed Hua Wei, "Seventh sister, don't be angry during the New Year." ”

Hua Wei withdrew her hand, and after a sneer, she glanced at Hua Hui coldly.

At this glance, Hua Hui thought of the poisonous snake that spit out the letter and wanted to bite someone for no reason, and only felt goosebumps all over her body.

At this time, there were three firecrackers at the gate of the courtyard, and it was the people at the door who opened the door to drive away the plague and demons.

Luo also stood up from the kang and said, "Don't miss the time to go and say goodbye to Mrs. Tai." ”

Walking out of the main room, Hua Jin whispered to Zhi Tao, "Tell Mother Chen to transfer the little maid who was just beaten to her sister's house, otherwise she will suffer." ”

The peach answered.

Hua Jin stepped out of the yard with confidence.

The group of people in the second room went to Mrs. Tai and met the family in the third room at the door of Chaohui Courtyard.

Seeing the third old man Zhang Yuhong and the third lady Liu walking next to each other, Luo's face tightened even tighter.

They greeted each other and saluted, and they all went into the courtyard together.

Last time, at the gate of the garden, Hua Cai, who was more familiar with Hua Cai because of the stone path, came over and walked with Hua Jin.

Zhao Xin's actions and final fate in the Zhang family have long been known to the whole house, and Hua Cai faintly feels that these things are inseparable from the current smart and resolute fifth sister. I have a little more admiration and closeness to Huajin.

Hua Jin knew that Huacai had a hearty and unrestrained personality, so he pulled her and her sister to chat behind the elders.

When the second and third rooms arrived at the main room, everyone didn't have time to salute Mrs. Tai one by one, so the second master entered the house with the eldest master, followed by the doctor Wang and other family members of the long house.

Roche secretly gritted his teeth.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mrs. Tai, who was wearing a dark coat with a pinched golden peony, smiled.

When the sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren had all saluted, Mrs. Tai instructed the maids to take out the Pepsi boxes containing persimmons, round eyes, chestnuts, ripe dates, walnuts, fruit bait, etc. that had been prepared earlier.

He smiled and said, "Everyone has it." ”

When everyone took the box and thanked Mrs. Tai, someone came to say that it was the opening of the door outside the gate of Zhangfu, and the battle was over.

Mrs. Tai bowed her head and said to everyone in the house: "Our family will definitely have a smooth weather this year." ”

Everyone agreed, and Mrs. Tai smiled and instructed: "Everyone should get up early today, and there will be a family banquet in the evening, so let's go back and rest." ”

The three-bedroom, two-bedroom, and long-room exited the main room of Zhaohui Courtyard in an orderly manner.
