chapter 19

The Song Mansion is also preparing for the New Year, from morning to nightfall, the people in the house are not idle for a moment, and the modern New Year's Eve string of relatives, the upper mansions also walk around each other, sending some good New Year's gifts. Master Song served as a scholar in the court, and he belonged to the second-grade minister, and there were many people who wanted to tie the knot, which could be said to be soft to receive gifts, and those subordinates also took care of the New Year's gifts all day, and they did not stop until the evening.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in the Song Mansion gathered in the main house to enjoy the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and keep the New Year together, except for Chu Jinyu, he was not in good health and could not stay up late, plus the weather was cold this day, causing a cold disease, so Mrs. Song sent someone to bring him the meal to his room to eat alone.

Song Yiling was unhappy, she hadn't seen Chu Jinyu for several days, she wanted to take advantage of this night to be with him for a while, but she didn't even see a figure, she wanted to get out and leave several times, but was stopped by Mrs. Song.

In desperation, I had to give in and go leisurely to take a look.

When he walked leisurely, he had a little more heart, thinking that Chu Jinyu was not welcomed in the Song Mansion, and he was afraid that the food he had sent over had already cooled, so he ran to the stove room, and when he saw the remaining noodles and fillings, he simply pinched a plate of dumplings and cooked them and brought them over.

The firecrackers outside the house are noisy, and it is a lively scene. And when I arrived at Chu Jinyu's courtyard, it was deserted and there was no trace of popularity, there was no New Year's atmosphere, there were no window flowers, the snow that had fallen a few days ago was still accumulating on the ground, there was only one lamp burning in the house, and a long figure sat on a chair and read a book quietly.

Bu leisurely carried hot dumplings directly into the house, Chinese New Year's Eve, what book to read?

Chu Jinyu heard Bu Youran's voice, raised her head, and looked at her with a smile, the main house was warm and lively, why did you come to me? Having said that, the tone was very happy to hear.

Bu Youran saw that he didn't move at all when he saw the food on the table, as she expected, the plate had already cooled, Miss is worried about you, let me come over and take a look. I thought you might not eat the dumplings, so I pinched a few and brought them over, and tasted them while they were hot.

Chu Jinyu's eyelids drooped, looked at the dumplings in front of him, seemed to hesitate, and finally picked up one with chopsticks and ate it in three bites.

Step leisurely asked, is it delicious?

After Chu Jinyu finished swallowing, she looked up at her, is it the stuffing you prepared?

No, it was prepared by Aunt Wu, but I made the dumplings.

Well. He nodded, and replied with a smile, the filling was a little salty, but the skin was well rolled, not thin or thick.

Bu leisurely couldn't help but smile, what if I said that the stuffing was also made by me?

Then of course I say it's delicious. He said quickly.

I didn't find you so good at sycophants before...... Bu Youran said, her heart blossomed, she looked around, found the tea set on the table, so complained, since I drank your tea here, the tea on Miss's side is difficult to eat, and said that it was given to the master by others, I don't think even half of your tea leaves. It can be seen that those who give gifts are not necessarily sending good things.

Chu Jinyu listened, her eyes full of smiles.

I don't know that in fact, those small officials who gave gifts really sent the best tea in the capital, not a trace of deception, but Chu Jinyu's tea came from an unusual way and was extremely precious, even if it was a tribute in the palace, it might not be as good as him.

Chu Jinyu got up and took a cup of tea, poured out the original tea, re-brewed a cup, and after a while, pushed the cup of tea to the front of Bu Ran, your hometown also eats dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve?

Bu leisurely took the tea cup lid away, let the tea aroma overflow, and suddenly a sense of satisfaction overflowed, she replied, that is nature, but our Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings are not just a filling, there are pork and green onion filling, lamb filling, egg leek filling, and my favorite three fresh fillings.

Three fresh? Chu Jinyu didn't seem to hear clearly, and repeated it.

Well. Bu leisurely took a sip of tea, and I really liked this tea in my heart, and I didn't know where to buy it, and I thought that her meager salary was not enough for even a cup of tea.

Chu Jinyu thought that Bu Youran didn't want to continue, so she didn't ask anymore, and as she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, she was silent as before.

After a long time, Bu Youran woke up from the tea, she thought about the topic they just had, as if they were talking about three fresh stuffed dumplings, and was suddenly shocked, she is a poor child, where can she eat so many flavors of dumplings? She...... Will it be exposed? Is the identity of the choreographed going to be suspected?

She glanced sideways at Chu Jinyu, and found that he was not entangled in this issue at all, and her mood gradually became calm.

Speaking of which, Chu Jinyu is also a heartwarming child, the Song family is good to him on the surface, but behind the scenes, they deduct his expenses, listen to the maid in charge of internal affairs said, this time at the end of the year, Mrs. Song gave Chu Jinyu ten taels of silver, what is enough? Take a sip of wine outside and it's gone!

Alas......

As the hour approached, the sound of firecrackers outside became louder and louder, but it contrasted sharply with the silence inside the house.

Bu leisurely coughed, breaking the current atmosphere, are you feeling better?

Well. He didn't look up, he flipped through a page.

Do you want...... Going outside to see the fireworks? Step leisurely and inexplicably nervous.

Chu Jinyu raised his head, met Bu Ran's leisurely gaze, paused for a while, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, okay.

Bu leisurely let go, and a smile spread all over his face.
