Chapter 165: Chinese New Year's Eve
Ping'er and Mandarin Duck accompanied the old lady to talk, and then said goodbye and left.
After going out, I went to Lin Daiyu's yard next door.
Zijuan saw the two of them coming, and greeted them with a smile, "Why are you two free today, come here together, please come inside." โ
The mandarin duck asked, "Zijuan, are you girls at home?" โ
Zijuan said: "Here, a few girls are also there, and Miss Xue is also there." โ
Ping'er smiled: "That's a coincidence, and it also saves us from running away one by one." โ
When the three of them entered the house, they saw several girls sitting around and laughing, and when they saw the two of them coming in, they hurriedly got up to greet each other.
Although Ping'er and Mandarin Duck are from maids, their identities are different.
Ping'er used to follow Sister Feng's housekeeper, and she was more effective than some masters in the house, but now she is in charge of Jia Cong, and she is in charge of the huge Ningguo Mansion, in charge of the public treasury in the front yard, and the inner treasury in the backyard.
Jia Cong is not at home, everything is in Ping'er's decision, and he is more powerful than Wang Xifeng.
Mandarin duck used to follow Jia's mother, serving by Jia's mother's side, and she was a celebrity beside Jia's mother, with a superhuman status, even the master was polite to her.
Now he follows Jia Cong, manages a group of maids and wives in Jia Cong's yard, is in charge of Jia Cong's private treasury, and is Jia Cong's personal housekeeper, and has the same status as when he was by Jia's mother's side.
However, it has a higher status than when he was by Jia's mother's side, and the treatment is also high, and it is more comfortable, which is no different from the master.
The current Ping'er and Mandarin Duck, although they are not the people with the highest status in Ning Guofu, are the most powerful people in Ning Guofu.
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "You are not busy over there for the New Year, how can you have time to come to me?" Could it be windy again? โ
The mandarin duck smiled and said, "It's such a strong wind, and it's still in the northeast, so it blew the two of us over." โ
Xichun blinked his eyes and said suspiciously: "Is it really windy?" There was no wind when I first came. โ
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they didn't know what kind of dumb riddle the two were playing.
Ping'er smiled and said, "I went to the old lady just now, but I didn't see a few girls, I didn't expect you all to gather here at Miss Lin, and we didn't have to go to the door one by one."
Hou Ye couldn't come back for the New Year, so he prepared a New Year's gift for the girls, a fox fur coat and two pieces of jewelry for each person, so that the girls could have a happy New Year. โ
beckoned the maid to bring the baggage, a total of five packages, and five sandalwood boxes.
Opening the package, there were five white fox fur coats, and five bibs.
This collar is made of a whole fox skin, and when encircled, it looks like a fox wrapped around its neck.
When a few little girls saw it, they couldn't take their eyes off.
Xichun said: "It's so beautiful, which one is for me?" โ
Ping'er said: "It's all made according to your figure, this one is the fourth girl's, this one is Miss Lin's, this one is the third girl's, this one is the second girl's, and this one is Miss Bao's."
You wear it to see if it fits, and if it doesn't, you can modify it again. โ
The mandarin duck came over to help Xichun put on a fox fur coat, and put a collar around her, her whole body was furry, and only a small face was exposed.
Xichun shook his neck and said with a smile: "Oh, it's so warm, it's so comfortable, I'm dressed quite well." โ
Lin Daiyu reached out and pinched Xichun's little face, and said with a smile: "The four sisters have all become a hairball, it's so cute!" โ
Xichun slapped her hand away and said with a smile: "Sister Lin put it on, it's not just like me, and it's also become a hairball in your mouth." โ
There were no outsiders here, and several people put them on and tried them on, and they were all the right sizes.
The Xue family is rich, and the Xue family is not short of these things, but the weather in the south is warm, and they generally can't wear them.
Every time Jia Cong gave gifts to her sisters, she didn't leave Xue Baochai behind, no matter what, she had a share, which made her feel very comfortable, she didn't care about these things, what she cared about was this heart.
She knew that Jia Cong was a little interesting to her, and she thought about her as always when she knew it was impossible, which made her happy.
As the saying goes: the man dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases himself.
Xue Baochai stroked the plush on his body and nodded with satisfaction, "These are the best furs, which are rarely seen on the market, Brother Cong really has a heart." โ
Tanchun nodded and said with a smile: "The third brother is so good to us, this dress is worn on the body, and it is beautiful and warm." โ
Yingchun stroked the plush on his body and said with a smile: "This fur is soft and smooth, and it feels so good." โ
Yingchun and Tanchun are both concubines, if they weren't raised by Jia's mother, life would not be better.
Although there is no shortage of food and clothing now, and there are pocket money of two taels of silver a month, no one will care about them, and no one is willing to spend money on them, so it would be good not to touch them.
Since Jia Cong's rise step by step, he has often given them some small gifts, small jewelry, and some small objects that girls like, and often take care of them.
There are really few really valuable good things around them, and they really can't put it down for this fox fur coat, and they can't like it.
Lin Daiyu was also dressed neatly with the help of Zijuan and Heping'er, and came to the mirror to take a look, showing a knowing smile.
Thinking that this was sent by Brother Cong, my heart was sweet.
I don't know what Brother Cong is doing now?
The last time I wrote that it was very cold over there, and it had snowed several times, and the entire land of Liaodong was covered in silver, which could be described as thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, and a white and vast ice and snow world.
In such a cold place, Brother Cong doesn't know if Xi is used to it, can he stand it?
Xichun ran over, looked at Lin Daiyu, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin looks so good in this dress, no wonder she looks fascinated herself, she really looks like a little vixen." โ
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she turned around and glared at Xichun, and scolded with a smile: "Four girls, who are you talking about?" I think you must have itchy skin, do you want my sister to help you loosen your skin? โ
Xichun giggled, turned around and ran to Xue Baochai's side.
Lin Daiyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw her fluffy little figure and the way she ran.
"Four girls, you look like this, and then sew a tail on the back of your buttocks, then you will really become a little vixen."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
Xichun looked up at Xue Baochai and said with a smile: "Sister Bao is also very good-looking." โ
Xue Baochai nodded Xichun's forehead with a smile, and said with a smile: "What a ghost girl." โ
The mandarin duck smiled and said: "The girls are so beautiful in this dress, this jewelry is one person and one box, all the same, you can also take it and take a look." โ
Several people opened the sandalwood box and saw that there were two pieces of jewelry inside, one was a gold silk enamel inlaid with ruby hairpins, and the other was a peacock spitting beads and gold stepping.
Several people are the owners of the goods, and they all happily put it away when they saw that it was not a bargain.
Then several people got together and chatted about the New Year.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Soon it was the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was a holiday in the barracks.
At noon, he had a meal with all the soldiers in the barracks, returned home with his own family members, and spent Chinese New Year's Eve together at home in the evening.
In the evening, He Shiyuan sent someone to find Jia Cong and asked him to go to the General Military Mansion to celebrate the New Year together.
Jia Cong thought about it and agreed, after all, people were kind, and they were worried that they would be too bored to be alone.
asked Han Nianci to prepare a gift and took Qingwen and Li Biao to the General Soldier's Mansion.
"Uncle Shi, the little nephew has given you New Year's greetings in advance, and I wish Uncle Shi an additional official and a knight in the coming year, and a marquis and prime minister."
He Shiyuan laughed and said: "Okay, okay, then Uncle Shi will accept your auspicious words, go, let's sit inside, just wait for you." โ
He Shiyuan is a general, and the family scroll cannot be with the army, but there are two concubines who have been serving him by his side, and Jia Cong has seen them before.
When I came to the room, a banquet had already been set up, and there were not many rules in this place.
He Shiyuan's two concubines, plus Qingwen, sat down together, a table of five people, and the two families spent Chinese New Year's Eve together.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and happily finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Qingwen followed He Shiyuan's two concubines and went to talk, Jia Cong and He Shiyuan also gossiped while drinking tea.
"Virtuous nephew, have you heard, the new Jiedu envoy is a relative of yours, the original Jingying Jiedu envoy Wang Ziteng, now he is under the control of the nine provinces, he was originally ordered to patrol the border, and the emperor issued a holy decree to let him come to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "I heard that Wang Ziteng is His Majesty's person, and he was originally asked to patrol the border to let him accumulate meritorious deeds, but he happened to run into Xiong Jianchang's matter, plus the barbarians will definitely start a war after the year, this is a good opportunity for him." โ
I don't know if the prince has arrived in Liaoyang, but his relationship with Mrs. Wang is very bad, and he probably doesn't say a lot of bad things about himself.
I hope that Wang Ziteng will not listen too much to the words of these women and make trouble with himself.
If that's the case, that's what this person is.
He Shiyuan said: "The war after the year is estimated to be inevitable, you may be Hongtai's first target, we Quang Ninh should usher in a big war, you should be more careful when the time comes." โ
Jia Cong said: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, although our army's combat strength is a little worse, there is still no problem in defending the city, as long as there are no strategic mistakes, it is not easy for the barbarians to win."
Uncle Shi can plan well, strive for more credit, and wait for the prince to leave, and see if there is a chance to plan the position of the envoy. โ
He Shiyuan sighed and said: "Hey, this matter is very difficult, there is almost no possibility of success, whether it is Your Majesty or the civilian clique of the DPRK, they are deliberately suppressing our military, and many positions are held by civilian officials, I dare not expect extravagance." โ
He Shiyuan saw it quite thoroughly, and the emperor still didn't worry about these generals.
"Uncle Shi, let's ask for more gunpowder from the rear after the year, these things are still quite useful at critical moments, as long as the gunpowder is enough, it is not a problem to hold Guangning City."
He Shiyuan said: "Let's look at the situation, it's not that we want to give it to the rear, what do we usually give?" What do we want? โ
Although He Shiyuan is good to himself, he is relatively negative in some things.
Forget it, let's see the situation when the time comes, I don't know where the war will start, and I am not too sure about some things.
The two chatted a few more words, and then hurriedly took Qingwen to leave.
When he returned home, he saw that everyone was still waiting for him, these people were all his own starting team, Tie Zhu, Zhang Dakui, more than 30 special combat members, and more than a dozen pro-soldier captains.
Jia Cong smiled apologetically: "I've made everyone wait for a long time, didn't you say that you don't have to wait for me?" โ
Zhang Dakui said with a smile: "This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, how can you not wait for Hou Ye to come back, besides, I have eaten a meal in the military camp at noon, and everyone is not very hungry, so it is time to digest food." โ
Jia Cong said: "It's so late that everyone is estimated to be hungry, so let's start, everyone is their own people, don't be too restrained, celebrate the New Year together today, in short, eat and drink well."
Come, I would like to toast you all first, I wish you all a happy new year, cheers! โ
picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank a glass with everyone, and then let everyone sit at a table with Zhang Dakui Tiezhu and others.
Zhang Dakui said: "Hou Ye, my subordinates toast you, since following Hou Ye, Hou Ye's growth rate is really fast, especially in the past half a year in Liaodong, it is more like a legend, so that his subordinates admire, this merit can be compared with the champion Hou." โ
Jia Cong picked up the wine glass, drank a glass with Zhang Dakui, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang praised, I can have such a feat, it depends on the sacrifice of life and death of the brothers, and it is inseparable from Master Zhang's usual training, and this merit also has a share of Master Zhang." โ
When Zhang Dakui heard this, he said excitedly: "If you can have the words of Hou Ye, even if your subordinates are shrouded in horse leather, they can smile at Jiuquan." โ
Jia Cong laughed and said: "Master Zhang said that he laughed, the barbarians will launch a big war after the year, either Shenyang or Guangning, in the past, we were just sneak attacks and guerrillas, and I am afraid that there will be a face-to-face battle after the year, and it will depend on you at that time." โ
"Swear to follow Master Hou to the death, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!"
"Swear to follow Master Hou to the death, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!"
"Swear to follow Master Hou to the death, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!"
Looking at this group of teams that he had cultivated by himself, Jia Cong was arrogant for a while, with this group of people around him, he could laugh at all enemies.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Jia Qing returned to the backyard and freshened up a little.
He Qingwen, Han Nianci and others sat around the edge of the stove, drinking tea and sipping melon seeds, gossiping.
Qingwen smiled and said, "Master Hou, are we still keeping the New Year this year?" โ
Jia Cong smiled: "If you are not sleepy, you can keep it, I rushed to two games today, I drank a little too much, I guess I can't hold it, I am really sleepy, I have to go sleep for a while." โ
Qingwen pouted and said, "It's really boring, Hou Ye goes to sleep every Chinese New Year's Eve, why are you so sleepy?" โ
Jia Cong smiled and said: "We men socialize a lot and drink a lot, sometimes it is not okay not to drink, just like tonight, so many people toast, can I not drink?" โ
Han Nianci said: "You just have to play, I'll go serve the Hou Ye to rest in a while." โ
Qingwen's girl has a big spirit, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, she takes a group of little girls to play and keep the New Year, staying awake all night and keeping the New Year until dawn.
After playing with them for a while, Jia Cong became a little sleepy, and he really couldn't hold up the strength of the wine.
Seeing them playing lively, Jia Cong didn't disturb them, so he got up and went to the inner room.
Han Nianci hurriedly got up and followed, helped Jia Cong lay out the futon, served him to lie down, and watched him fall asleep by himself.
Jia Cong said: "Be careful if you fall asleep and catch a cold, or you come in and lie down for a while, so as not to freeze." โ
Han Nianci said: "Well, then I'll lie down with Hou Ye for a while, and when Hou Ye falls asleep, I'll go out to play with them for a while." โ
As he spoke, he took off his fox fur coat and put it away, lifted the quilt and got into the bed.
Jia Cong was really sleepy, hugged the beauty beside him sideways, and fell asleep deeply.
