Chapter 202: New Year's Eve
Nie Xiaofan couldn't smile bitterly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the final annual banquet, Zhou Baozhu still had a vegetarian banquet with everyone.
Zhou Baozhu actually prefers to spend the New Year alone, but she has studied housekeeping. She knew that if she didn't participate, Nie Xiao'e would have to use the cross-courtyard banquet to set up a banquet.
It was Zhou Baozhu who was very sensible and said that she wanted to eat a vegetarian banquet together. So as a matter of course, the main courtyard was given up.
While the Nie family was grateful, they felt that Zhou Baozhu was very reasonable.
Lien liked her even more.
After Nie Xiaofan's advice, the Lian family no longer respectfully stayed away from Zhou Baozhu, but took the initiative to care for Zhou Baozhu as an elder.
Zhou Baozhu is still polite, but he has a little more smile at Lian.
Nie Baijun took Nie Xiaonian and Nie Xiaoan to the other courtyard to celebrate the New Year together, and the three of them and Nie Hua sat together.
Nie Xiaofan, Nie Xiao'e, Nie Xiaoyue, Nie Xuan, Nie Meng, Nie Zhen, and Lian's. Zhou Qiaoqiao, Zhou Baozhu and several people are at the same time.
In terms of dishes, Nie Xiao'e put a lot of thought into it. borrowed two cooks from Lian and made a vegetarian feast extremely rich.
Lian's eyes were full of steamed white jade bergamot, golden jade full hall, five treasures of fresh vegetables and other dishes, which were very suitable for her appetite. couldn't help but praise: "Good boy, it's hard for you to put so much thought into it." The Liu family is blessed..."
Nie Xiao'e blushed.
Aunt Yu stood behind Lian Shi to serve, and when she heard this, she glanced at Nie Xiaoyue, who was surrounded by Nie Meng and Nie Zhen in the middle, salivating at a table of vegetarian dishes. smiled and said: "Yes, the second girl is so capable, and she will teach us Sister Yue when she goes back." That's when she's learning this..."
Lian laughed a few times, and then invited Zhou Baozhu to move his chopsticks: "Baozhu, you are spending the New Year outside for the first time, but we are not outsiders, but don't be restrained." ”
Nie Xiaofan had some doubts in his heart, what Aunt Yu said... Those who know think that she said this because she took care of Nie Xiaoyue, but I am afraid that those who don't know will think that Nie Xiaoyue is her daughter.
And Lian's attitude is also strange. I really love Nie Xiao'e, but I can teach general affairs, but I only teach Nie Xiao'e, not Nie Xiaoyue. Even Nie Xiaofan has been guided by Lian's business. But Nie Xiaoyue didn't.
It's really intriguing.
Although the annual banquet was a little simple, the atmosphere was generally pleasant. Especially during the Chinese New Year, they are all happy and happy. The Nie family had two white incidents last year. Although I can't be happy now. But everyone hopes that the New Year's fortune will be better. So they all had a smile on their faces.
The only person who didn't laugh was Zhou Qiaoqiao who was sitting next to Nie Xiaofan.
Zhou Qiaoqiao is opposite Zhou Baozhu, Zhou Baozhu has a detached temperament, and always maintains a just right smile on his face. Anyone who talks to her is not arrogant because of her identity, nor does she talk deeply about being entangled, so she is very popular with everyone.
In contrast, Zhou Qiaoqiao, the righteous daughter recognized by the Lian family, had a serious expression. has practiced martial arts again, and Nie Xuan and others, who are not familiar with her, are a little afraid of her.
But at this time, Zhou Qiaoqiao's face was not because no one was surrounding her, she was just staring at Zhou Baozhu.
As soon as Zhou Baozhu spoke, Zhou Qiaoqiao wanted to interject. However, Nie Xiaofan smiled on her face, but held her hand under the table.
Give her strength and calm her.
After the New Year's banquet, the Nie family did not arrange entertainment projects such as fireworks this year. It's just a few girls playing together.
Everyone made an appointment to celebrate the New Year together, and Zhou Baozhu knew that everyone was uncomfortable here, so he went back to the inner room.
Lian kept glancing at Nie Xiaofan, hoping that Nie Xiaofan could accompany Zhou Baozhu. Nie Xiaofan looked at Zhou Baozhu like this, and he felt a little unbearable. But in the end, she had to take care of Zhou Qiaoqiao, so she only sent her back to the inner room and returned to accompany Zhou Qiaoqiao.
Since Zhou Baozhu decided to rest, several people had to change places to keep the New Year.
The daughters went to the East Cross Courtyard, and Nie Baijun took the boys to the West Cross Courtyard. The two wings in the west courtyard were packed up for Nie Hua to live in, and a few people were there tonight.
Nie Zhen and Nie Meng both talked around the naïve Nie Xiaoyue, and Aunt Yu was now serving Nie Xiaoyue, not leaving her side an inch. This made Nie Meng and Nie Zhen's idea of wanting to inquire about Nie Xiaoyue's New Year's money go bankrupt directly.
Among the sisters, Nie Xuan was the only one who had not offended Nie Xiaoyue and Nie Xiaofan, but at this time, Nie Xiaoyue was surrounded by Nie Meng and Nie Zhen, so she had to come over to find Nie Xiaofan. Nie Xiaofan ordered Liu Yu to give her a red seal, because she had to pay attention to Zhou Qiaoqiao's state of mind at all times, so she didn't talk to Nie Xuan much, Nie Xuan felt bored, and she had nothing to say after two sentences. Holding the red envelope given by Nie Xiaofan, he sat uneasily, and glanced at Zhou Qiaoqiao from time to time.
was discovered by Zhou Qiaoqiao, and an eye swept over, which frightened Nie Xuan.
Since then, he has not dared to raise his head.
On the New Year, Lian ordered people to set off a string of firecrackers, and the year was over.
The next day, Nie Xiaofan went to greet Nie Baijun, he was reading.
These days, Nie Baijun is deeply bored, and he can't say a few words to Nie Xiao'an and Nie Xiaonian, and if he wants to teach his son and nephew, he won't either.
But now that he is the head of the Nie family, this matter cannot be impossible. Otherwise, wouldn't it ruin a generation? So he came up with a way to be the husband of the two of them all day long, teaching them to read.
Not to mention, Nie Xiaoan and Nie Xiaonian both thought he spoke very well. At least the two of them weren't annoyed. Nie Baijun's confidence increased greatly, and he often read some miscellaneous notes, and felt that the truth in the book was in line with his point of view, so he told the two of them again. After all, the four books and five classics, and the eight-strand system are all things taught in the academy.
This time for the New Year, he also planned to bring Nie Hua to the ancestral house. That way he has one more student.
Nie Xiaofan raised his hands in favor of this, otherwise when Nie Xiaonian and they went to the academy, Nie Baijun was such a soft person, what if he learned badly, so he still let Nie Hua accompany him.
Seeing Nie Xiaofan, Nie Baijun showed a little smile: "I didn't see it last night, but now I see that it is really better, the spirit of the person is better, and he has grown a little taller..."
Nie Xiaofan smiled and said nothing.
"You and your sister and brother are fine, I can be regarded as having an explanation for your mother..."Nie Baijun said this, and it was inevitable that sadness would come from it.
The death of both of his wives is a big blow to a man.
"Father..."Nie Xiaofan wanted to speak and stopped, but he couldn't say words of comfort.
It's a difficult question who should comfort whom.
As soon as the conversation changed, Nie Xiaofan asked, "What about Brother Nian, why don't you see him?"
Nie Baijun accepted his sadness, and asked suspiciously: "Yes, Brother Nian is very diligent." The rooster crows and gets up to read. Why don't you see you today?" he said, and asked his personal chief with him.
It's not that Nie Baijun is a loving father, it's just that Nie Xiaofan is here, since she asked about Brother Nian, how can he come to see him.
After a while, he replied: "Brother went up the mountain with the eldest young master of Xifu early in the morning. He took a bow and arrows, and said he was hunting. I won't be back until late in the evening. ”
Nie Xiaofan and Nie Baijun glanced at each other, and both of them felt that the two boys were a little messy.
