The family is big and the business is big, and there are more contradictions in each room.

Fortunately, Duanwang is also a vigorous and resolute character, except for the New Year's Festival, or when he needs to open an ancestral hall to contact with the side branches, no one sees him the rest of the time, and he doesn't help anything, but he also has a lot of trouble.

It's just the New Year, but it can't be avoided.

Princess Duan sighed, "Speaking of which, I was also selfish, thinking about Jiaojiao's love affair with Brother Fan'er's childhood sweetheart, and I watched it, so I mentioned this family matter to you, but those side branches of Duanwang's Mansion ...... It's also not easy to get along. ”

Qin Wan lowered her eyebrows and didn't speak, at this time she just needed to be a good child.

Bai Zhishui patted the back of Princess Duan's hand and comforted: "King Duan loves you, I don't want you to interfere in anything he can do, your temperament has always been refreshing, and you can't tolerate a little sand, and it is precisely because of your strength that those who want to pull a relationship and borrow the name of King Duan have put out their minds." In the eyes of King Duan, you are his virtuous helper. Jiaojiao won't work," Bai Zhishui glanced at Qin Wan and sighed, "Jiaojiao is soft, you need to mention her more." Although she has been a lot stronger over the years, she has been messing around there with the identity of the county lord, and she has entered the Duanwang Mansion in the future, she is the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, and her generation is there, if it is a business matter, it is fine, if it is a family matter, she can't hold the county lord's shelf. ”

Hearing that her mother looked down on herself so much, Qin Wan rolled her eyes in her heart.

She's not that weak, okay?

Besides, she doesn't need to be the county lord, and she's not stupid!

As for dealing with those tedious chores, for no reason, a vague shadow appeared in Qin Wan's mind.

Startled, Qin Wan quickly lowered her eyes.

The shadow that had just formed in her mind was torn apart, so fast that she didn't have time to tell who the familiar shadow was.

After more than ten days of curfew, Shengjing finally lifted the ban, which also indicates that the New Year is coming.

The county lord's mansion was cleaned inside and out, the plum blossoms in the garden were blooming brightly, Qin Wan specially asked Longan to pick a few plum blossoms and insert them in the vase, and put them in the bedroom, and the whole room was fragrant and fragrant.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

It seems to be just an ordinary day for Qin Wan, but Shengjing is extremely lively, this excitement has started a few days ago, and there are many more people in the streets and alleys, whether they are vendors or shopping, than usual.

Qin Wan was staggered.

Seriously, she really didn't know where these people came from.

Qin Ruizhuo carefully protected Qin Wan by his side, accompanied by several cousins and maids, as the only male, Qin Ruizhuo naturally had to protect the safety of the group.

Originally, Bai Zhishui wanted to call a few nurses, but Qin Wan was suspicious and unhappy, and Qin Ruizhuo repeatedly promised that nothing would happen, so Bai Zhishui nodded uneasily.

There are more guards patrolling than usual, so as long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there is no danger.

Qin Wan is a girl after all, and she has an instinctive enthusiasm for shopping and shopping, even if she was a queen in her previous life, she has seen all kinds of good things, and she still desperately moves forward when she sees a dazzling array of gadgets on the street.

This is a bitter sister to control Qin Ruizhuo, and he has to help Qin Wan pay the bills and carry things, as well as beware of the safety of the group, but fortunately, on the battlefield, he has already practiced the ability to see and listen to all directions, but he is not in a hurry.

Qin Wan glanced back and handed the sugar gourd in his hand to Qin Ruizhuo's mouth.

Qin Ruizhuo glared at her viciously, took a vicious bite, and chewed fiercely.

Qin Wan squinted his eyes and watched Qin Rui finish blanching and swallowing dates before handing the sugar gourd to his mouth.

In the Chinese New Year's Eve, the evening is the most lively time, and the group took advantage of the morning market to wander around the market and return to the Huguo Mansion.

There are not many brothers and sisters of the old man, the two brothers died on the battlefield in the early years, the two sisters-in-law took their children back to the old house, and Mrs. Bai's maiden family is also in Jiangnan, so the reunion dinner is really a family gathering.

Bai Huafeng, Bai Huayu and several grandchildren are all at the border, and the dinner table is basically full of women, all say that three women play a play, and the dining room is full of adults and children chattering. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, my mood is different, and the noise that I felt like a headache in previous years is also rare and peaceful in the old country.

After lunch, the New Year's gifts from the old house also arrived, all of which were vegetables and fruits grown in the countryside, which were better than freshness.

After dinner, the old man and the old lady went to take a nap, Bai Zhishui and the two sisters-in-law set up a card game, one less person, and pulled Qin Ruizhuo to fill the number, and Qin Wan and a few cousins poured out today's harvest and watched it next to each other.

This lively laziness lasted until the end of dinner, and the group kept the New Year together, but the two old people were old after all, and they couldn't stay up late.

The children who got the New Year's money also looked worried, obviously playing too happily during the day, and now they have no energy.

Bai Zhishui led Qin Wan to the "Xian Courtyard" first, which was where Bai Zhishui lived before leaving the pavilion, and Qin Ruizhuo went to the front yard and lived in his cousin's yard.

Because the county lord's mansion is now Bai Zhishui's home, this Chinese New Year's Eve stays at his mother's house, and outsiders can't find a bone.

After washing, Qin Wan returned to her bedroom and lay on the windowsill, looking at the snowflakes in the twilight.

The black canopy of the sky, reflecting the falling snowflakes, Qin Wan watched with relish.

In the distance, colorful fireworks compete in the night sky, and there is a crackling sound from time to time, which is very lively.

But Qinwan is still not used to this kind of lively scene.

Maybe she stayed in the cold palace for a long time, Qin Wan didn't like the excitement very much, especially the noisy laughter, which made her very impatient. It stands to reason that after staying in the silence for a long time, he should be most afraid of the silent atmosphere, but Qin Wan was stunned to fall silent in that deathly silence. Only then can she be reminded that she is still alive.

"Phew!"

The last bunch of fireworks blooms in the night sky, and on the drum tower, the New Year's bell rings, heralding the arrival of a new year.

Qin Wan smiled at the corner of her mouth.

Originally, Qin Ruizhuo instigated her to go to the Drum Tower to listen to the bells, but several cousins had already discussed marriage, according to the rules, it was not appropriate to show up on this occasion, and Bai Zhishui was not worried about Qin Ruizhuo's babbling temperament, so the family stayed in the courtyard.

The sky returned to a dark and dull color, but not so thick, faintly refracted with transparent white.

Qin Wan sighed depressedly, she didn't know where the melancholy in her heart came from, turned around, and walked towards the bed.

"Who!" After only moving half a step, Qin Wan paused and asked alertly.

The air fluttered slightly, it was an air flow that was not easy to be noticed, Qin Wan looked for the transmission of the air flow, and turned around slightly.

"When did Jiaojiao become so alert and do too much bad things?"

"You've only done too much!" Qin Wan subconsciously replied, and after speaking, he was stunned for a moment.

A shadow stepped forward, slowly appearing in the candlelight.

There was still a breath of cold dew on his body, and before he got closer, Qin Wan felt cold, dressed in a black robe, outlining a well-proportioned body, with his hands behind his back, and a narrow smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Why are you back?" Suppressing the surprise that flashed in her heart, Qin Wan asked awkwardly.

"I'll be back with you for the New Year." Xiao Jingxing took two more steps.

"It's been a long time." Qin Wan said with a smile.

"Is it over? But I think it's just right. ”

Without giving Qin Wan time to speak, Xiao Jingxing grabbed her waist and jumped out of the window.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Wan nervously hugged Xiao Jingxing's waist, although he was covered with a thick cloak, there was still a cold night breeze pouring into his neck.

Qin Wan shrunk her neck and leaned closer to Xiao Jingxing.

Xiao Jingxing was very satisfied with Qin Wan's embrace, the corners of his mouth turned up happily, the fatigue on his body also faded a lot, and the big hand around Qin Wan's waist was slightly forced.

Qin Wan realized her futility after complaining a few words, so she simply resigned herself to fate, and let Xiao Jingxing take her out of the city, except for feeling her body shuttling between the leaves, Qin Wan had already calmed down, and when her feet stood firmly on the ground again, she stared hard and looked around.

"It's ...... Koaoyama's ...... Racecourse? Qin Wanhu looked at Xiao Jingxing suspiciously.

Xiao Jingxing nodded, his hand restlessly restlessly on Qin Wan's waist.

Qin Wan glanced at Xiao Jingxing with compassion, slapped his big hand, and knocked off Xiao Jingxing's hand.

Xiao Jingxing didn't feel embarrassed, but leaned over to Qin Wan, "Jiaojiao, the first gift you gave me was here." ”

Qin Wan looked ignorant.

Xiao Jingxing said sadly: "Could it be that you have forgotten? ”

"Isn't it just a pair of cotton shoes, don't you?" Qin Wan looked at Xiao Jingxing, who was "unproductive".

Xiao Jingxing cheekily leaned over, "But that was the first time I received a gift, and I was very happy." ”

The sincere tone made Qin Wan lose the intention of ridiculing, who knew that she was still brewing an atmosphere here, and when Xiao Jingxing spoke again, she was almost angry to death!

"So, this year's gift, you are also here for me, right?"

"I'm going to give you a gift?" Glancing at Xiao Jingxing's big hand stretched out in front of him, Qin Wan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Jingxing's head tilted, "Spring clothes." ”

Qin Wan smiled harmlessly, "You have a good calculation." ”

The corners of Xiao Jingxing's eyes curved, "Gifts are still exchanged, I'll give my New Year's gift first." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was immediately a whistling wind overhead, and dozens of fireworks rose into the air in unison, blooming, and the black overhead was colored into a colorful color, which was extremely gorgeous.

Qin Wan couldn't help but look up and look at the fireworks with delight.

Sure enough, you still have to get close to see the fleeting beauty.

The smile on the corner of Qin Wan's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and the fireworks that kept blooming came one after another, and there was no intention of stopping.

The black sky was lit up by fireworks, and Qin Wan even heard an exclamation in the distance!

It lasted for a long time before the fireworks slowly fell silent.

Qin Wan retracted his gaze, just in time to meet Xiao Jingxing's warm eyes, there was a moment of stagnation in his heart, and then he said awkwardly: "Do you think you can change a set of spring clothes with these unrealistic things?" ”
