Chapter 71: Removing the Old
.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the reborn Gaomen pet daughter-in-law!
At the beginning of the lanterns, the side door of the Li Mansion was wide open to welcome the return of the masters, and the gradually noisy voices of people spread all the way to Qingfeng Temple.
The rough mother-in-law who was gossiping with Mrs. Liu in the wing room poured down the residual wine, resigned Mrs. Liu, picked up the long pole, and gradually lit the red lantern in Qingfeng Courtyard.
Mrs. Liu stood under the eaves with her hands in her sleeves, swallowed her wine and reminded, "Miss Miao, Miss Juan, it's time to go to the main courtyard!" ”
At night, the Li Mansion keeps a New Year's Watch, and the housekeepers and mothers-in-law who have heads and faces can also occupy a place in the main courtyard.
Mrs. Liu was waiting to sell it in front of Li Zichang, so she couldn't stop urging loudly.
Li Miao in the house was unhurried, raised her hand and adjusted the hairpin ring between her hair, and then took Li Juan and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to the fourth uncle and fourth uncle to congratulate each other on the New Year." ”
Li Juan was happy that she could have a red envelope income again, and at the same time pulled Li Miao's cuffs, and said softly, "I don't have us by my side this year, and I don't know how my aunt spent this year......
Although Seifu-in Temple is remote, it is also full of festive atmosphere for the New Year at this time.
Li Juan couldn't help but think of her aunt at home.
Li Miao's footsteps did not stop when she heard this, her mind was not on this at all, she clenched Li Juan's hand and whispered, "Later, you can accompany the fourth uncle and Li Yingge to talk, and see if you can ask the details of Li Yingge's entry into the palace." ”
What she really hoped for was to hear something related to Xiao Hanqian from the mouths of Xie or Li Yingge, just a few words.
Recalling the scenes of seeing Xie Shi these few times, Li Juan was coquettish and behaved, and Xie Shi was willing to answer two sentences.
Li Juan didn't know what Li Miao was thinking, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but her own sister had no reason not to help.
Seeing Mrs. Liu croaking and noisily coming up, the sisters didn't say more, and took the four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter to the main courtyard.
The state banquet is followed by the family banquet.
According to custom, the whole Li Mansion has to keep the New Year, and even Li Zichang's six-room aunt can enter the main courtyard tonight to sit at the table and say goodbye to the old and welcome the new with the male and female masters.
Li Zichang thought of the reward in the twenty palaces that had just been carried into the treasury of the inner courtyard from the flower hall, and he couldn't help but feel better, and let out the words, today's subordinates in the flower hall will get double rewards, and the rest of the subordinates will give an extra month of monthly money in addition to the New Year's red envelopes.
The main courtyard suddenly resounded with cheers and joy.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, when the time came, the sound of artillery inside and outside came one after another, intertwining into a deafening one.
Li Zichang was even more excited, standing in the courtyard in person, watching Li Qiang and Li Quan with Li Chengming, escorted by his subordinates to set off fireworks, the aunts saw that Li Zichang was in good spirits, and there was no one who did not come forward to make fun.
Xie didn't know this, thinking that Li Yingge had been busy for a day, so he invited Yang's mother and Xie's mother to explain, "Go back and write a few soft and restrained meal lists for Dongkuanyuan, don't let Yingge'er eat greasy and hot things for a while, let's talk about it for a while."
Mother Xie will go back to the East Cross Courtyard, prepare the charcoal stove and hot water, you will work hard tonight, and work with Changqing to watch the night for Brother Ying. After using the dumplings, I asked Chang Fu and Chang Yuan to send Brother Ying back to the house to rest. ”
The daughter is becoming more and more sensible and smart, but Xie is afraid that Li Yingge's mind has just recovered, and after the affairs of the five princes, it is okay to see on the surface, but it is not easy to say inside, and it is terrible if there is a nightmare at night.
For the sake of Xie's insurance, regardless of auspiciousness or unluck, he made up his mind to let Li Yingge be exempted from keeping the New Year.
Mother Xie didn't know the inside story, but she was smiling.
She thought that Aunt Yuan, who was beside the Queen Mother, personally helped Li Yingge throw the replaced teeth under the bed, or under the bed where Xiao Hanqian stayed in the Wanshou Palace, and was happy that Li Yingge was a year older again, and for a while she was happy and happy for Li Yingge to get the Queen Mother.
I responded respectfully to Mother Yang, and stepped back first.
Li Miao listened, but felt that Li Yingge was just changing teeth, but Xie Shi was even exempted from keeping the New Year, which was inevitably a little abnormal, so she motioned for Li Juan to come forward and talk.
Without waiting for Li Juan to speak, Li Chengming's small figure rushed into the house.
Li Chengming is only a five-year-old child after all, and in the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year in the whole house, the elementary school style is gone, leaning on Xie's side, smiling brightly.
Li Yingge teased him, "Xiao Chengming, the new year and new atmosphere, do you want to learn more skills?" The evergreen in my courtyard knows how to punch and kick, do you want to learn some tricks from her? ”
She likes Li Chengming and treats him as her own brother, so she wants to take Li Chengming to strengthen her body together.
Looking at Li Zichang and Xie's discipline of Li Chengming, Li Chengming will definitely go through the imperial examination in the future, but his body is the capital of everything.
Seeing that she didn't forget Li Chengming, Xie Shi thought that it was the blood connection, and the relationship was so good after only a few days, he was happy in his heart, and said with a smile on his face, "You don't have to worry about it." Cheng Ming's official school is famous in Beijing, and there is no shortage of the six arts, and the enlightenment class also has to take riding and archery lessons. ”
Li Yingge was surprised, but he didn't expect that Li Chengming had just started to learn riding and archery less than a year after he was enlightened.
She didn't say more, and for a while she felt that Li Chengming was young and could endure hardships quietly, so she couldn't help but soften, and hugged him and kissed him heavily.
Li Chengming blushed with shame, and Xie smiled when he saw it.
They were happy, and Li Juan couldn't find a chance to talk.
Another servant brought hot dumplings.
After using the dumplings, everyone ate the auspicious copper coins without surprise, and Xie called Chang Fu and Chang Yuan to send Li Yingge back to the East Cross Courtyard.
Li Zichang thought that Li Yingge was young, and he went to the palace today to toss in the end, so he didn't hold her back to the custom of keeping the New Year, and asked a few words to eat and drink, and then let Li Yingge leave the main courtyard first.
Xie Shi was idle, and he didn't want to sit still, so he asked people to bring the account books and take care of the New Year's affairs.
Li Juan stepped forward to talk to her, and she didn't have to be annoying, so she pouted and glanced at Li Miao, saying that Xie didn't blame her for being incompetent if she didn't give her a chance, and lowered her head to concentrate on dealing with the delicate and delicious snacks on the table.
Li Miao was angry and funny, thinking that Xie and Li Yingge would not work here, so she paid attention to Mrs. Liu's movements.
After the aunts here used dumplings to officially kowtow to Li Zichang and Xie for the New Year, they were sent back to their respective yards.
Li Zichang thought it was boring to stay in the house, and it was not good to leave his wife and go to the courtyard of his aunts, so he took his three sons, Li Chengming, Li Qiang, and Li Quan, to cook wine and discuss poetry and books.
After changing two teas, Li Zichang asked Li Chengming, who was sleepy, to go to Xie's side, and when he turned around, he saw Li Qiang and Li Quan whispering about official learning, so he nodded with satisfaction and went to the courtyard to breathe.
Li Miao found that Mrs. Liu came out of nowhere, straightened her sleeves, and came to Li Zichang.
I don't know what the two said, but I saw that Li Zichang looked indifferent, but a trace of surprise flashed on Mrs. Liu's face.
The only thing that can surprise Mrs. Liu is the whereabouts of the knee pads!
Judging by the reactions of Li Zichang and Mrs. Liu, the knee pads are definitely no longer in Li Zichang's hands......
Thinking of the possible whereabouts of the knee pads, Li Miao's heart couldn't help jumping.
It seems that what she expected was good, Li Zichang did not disappoint her!
Does this mean that even God is helping her!
Li Miao's eyes suddenly lit up as if a cannon had been lit.
She glanced at Xie Shi, who was ignoring foreign affairs, got up from her seat quietly, and slowly walked out of the upper room.
