Cheng Shuiyao didn't ignore his small movements, her heart warmed slightly, and she looked at the sky outside.

"Madam, come out and give out the reward!" Xiao Yun came in with a large red cloth bag, which contained a very pleasing pattern of silver.

These pieces of silver are not large, mainly to beg for a prize.

Cheng Shuiyao glanced at it, stood up directly, and pulled Xiao Ji to the courtyard together.

The people in the mansion, large and small, all came out, and gathered in the courtyard at this time, waiting for Cheng Shuiyao to come out.

"New year, new atmosphere, everyone has worked hard in the previous year," Cheng Shuiyao said a few words, then grabbed the silver in the cloth bag and scattered it out.

"Thank you, ma'am!"

"Thank you, Madame, for the reward!"

Everyone had a smile on their faces, and they reached for the silver.

"Thank you, ma'am!" A glutinous voice sounded, especially obvious in a group of adults.

Cheng Shuiyao looked intently and saw a little girl with a double ponytail looking at the plum blossom silver in her hand, with a smile on her face.

"Xiaoshuang, come and see Madame." Mama Zheng waved her hand and beckoned Xiaoshuang to shout.

Cheng Shuiyao looked at Mama Zheng when she heard this, and her heart suddenly understood.

Xiaoshuang shouted hello to Mrs. crisply, his face was a little red, and he looked shy.

"This kid is very clever," Cheng Shuiyao squatted down, reached out and pinched the child's face, generously took off the jade pendant on his waist, and handed it to Xiaoshuang.

"How does this work?" Mama Zheng saw her move and hurriedly waved her hand and beckoned Xiaoshuang to go back.

This jade pendant looks very good at a glance, maybe it's worth it, how dare they, the current people, accept it?

"New Year's Eve, ask for a lottery, take it, it's okay," Cheng Shuiyao waved his hand and softly hung the jade pendant on Xiaoshuang.

"Thank you, ma'am!"

Xiaoshuang had never seen such a good-looking jade pendant, and there was irrepressible surprise on his face, seeing that Cheng Shuiyao was so persistent, he didn't shirk it, and happily kissed Cheng Shuiyao.

This......

Cheng Shuiyao blinked, liking the child in front of her more and more, and reached out to rub her head.

"Okay, you all disperse," Xiao Ji's face was as usual, but his voice was a little colder.

What kind of flying vinegar is this?

Cheng Shuiyao couldn't hear the change in his voice, so she got up helplessly and nodded at the worried butler.

Only then did the butler dare to leave with the others.

Seeing these people leave, Cheng Shui Yaoying turned around, looked at Xiao Ji, who seemed to be no different from usual, and reached out and pulled his sleeve.

"It's cold outside, let's go in and sit!" Xiao Ji lowered her eyebrows and pulled Cheng Shuiyao into the house.

"It's just a child," Cheng Shuiyao approached Xiao Ji with interest, "You won't be jealous of her, will you?" ”

"I didn't." Xiao Ji's face did not change, but this expression was strange at this time.

Cheng Shuiyao smiled secretly in her heart, but she didn't want to expose him openly, so she just gently kissed Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji's body was stunned for a moment, and he lowered his head in disbelief, only to find that Cheng Shuiyao had already rushed back to the stool in one step.

"Let me say what are you good about?" The corners of Xiao Ji's mouth curled slightly, and he walked over.

"For the New Year, don't put this face on your face and smile!"

Cheng Shuiyao said as she reached out and patted the place next to her, motioning for him to sit down.

"Is there anything else planned for this morning?" Xiao Ji sat down according to Cheng Shuiyao's meaning, and as soon as he sat down, he suddenly remembered this stubble.

"No," Cheng Shuiyao shrugged and pouted a little boredly.

Because Xiao Zhenheng and Xie Yin didn't pay much attention to etiquette, Xiao Mansion didn't have those cumbersome etiquette at all.

The high gate next to it should be worshipping the ancestors at this time, and their home is good and exceptionally idle.

"Then I'll take you to play nearby," Xiao Ji waved his hand, knowing that Cheng Shuiyao was panicking, he had prepared in advance.

"Good ......" Cheng Shuiyao's eyes lit up, but just halfway through the shout, he was interrupted by the housekeeper who pushed the door in.

"Childe and Madame shouldn't be able to get out," the butler obviously heard their words clearly, and said a little helplessly, "The old lady is not at home, and Mrs. is needed to welcome guests this afternoon." ”

Hiss......

Cheng Shuiyao gasped, she could already predict how busy she would be this afternoon, and her little face suddenly collapsed.

"What kind of guests are you welcomed?" Xiao Ji frowned slightly, obviously he didn't expect this.

"Oh, by the way, you don't know," the housekeeper patted his head, and felt a reaction after knowing it, "You have been in the side for a few years ago, and you have never been home for the New Year, and you don't know if you want to come, in fact, there have been many people in our family who have given gifts in the past few years, and it has always been the old lady who came forward." ”

"So......" Cheng Shuiyao twitched the corners of her eyes, and finally understood why Xie Yin and the two of them ran out early.

I want to be a shopkeeper when I co-author!

Xiao Ji also had a black line on his face, glanced at the housekeeper in disbelief, and felt like he had been pitted.

"You two rest first, and I'll come back to you when I have something to do," the housekeeper saw that the expressions of the two people were a little subtle, and decisively chose to slip away.

"What's going on?"

Cheng Shuiyao said with a sad face, because she didn't expect that she would have to endure this kind of suffering.

"Bear with me, you should be able to pass," Xiao Ji sighed, as if he was comforting himself, and said a word.

But apparently he was thinking too simply.

In the afternoon, no less than 30 high-ranking nobles came to congratulate the New Year.

Cheng Shuiyao was dressed in a gorgeous costume and sat on the seat for an afternoon, her face was numb with a smile, but she had not yet solved this matter.

"Madame, would you like to rest for a while?" Xiaoyun took advantage of the tea to come to Cheng Shuiyao and speak, his eyes full of concern.

"Please wait a moment, I'll come when I go."

Cheng Shuiyao can be regarded as having found an opportunity, stood up directly, smiled apologetically at everyone, and left here in a hurry.

Walking all the way to a corner where no one was around, Cheng Shuiyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and moved her numb body.

"Madam, is it a little bad for you to be like this?"

Xiaoyun didn't expect Cheng Shuiyao to say that he would leave, his face was full of disbelief.

"If I sit down again, I'll be paralyzed," Cheng Shuiyao waved her hand and stretched hard, feeling comfortable all over.

In front of so many people just now, she didn't dare to move significantly, and she sat in pain all over.

I don't know how these ancient ladies did it, anyway, she can't.

"Alright, let's go back." Cheng Shuiyao exhaled a breath of turbidity, and returned to his previous dignified appearance, just like the two of them just now.

Xiao Yun was no longer able to complain about her ability to change her face, nodded lightly, and helped Cheng Shuiyao go back.

As soon as the two of them took a step, they heard an indescribable voice from the corner on the other side.
