Chapter 36: Cheers
Woohoo –
Boast!
Thousands of brilliant fireworks rose from all over Jiangzhou City, and the smoke of gunpowder made the sky feel like a layer of mist facing the sky.
Because they all went home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the streets were crowded in the afternoon, and at this time, there was a feeling that there was no one in the lanes.
Night Terror Hall walked along the brightly lit street to the Yuan Qing Dart Bureau, and he didn't speak on the way, after all, Fang Cai's picture impact was a bit strong, and it kept lingering in his mind, and it didn't seem right to say anything.
The empress walked beside her in a long red dress, admiring the fireworks in the city as usual, as if nothing had happened, but after taking a few steps, she would still glance at the night terrors, and she didn't know what she was looking at.
The two were so silent, and when they walked near the Chen family's mansion, Night Terror saw that there were also artillery battles in the front yard, so they took Yuhu to the door of the dart game in front, and were about to invite Yuhu to play with two artillery battles, but before the words came out, they felt that something was wrong.
The dart bureau compound is very spacious, and there are not a few cars parked during the New Year, and at this time there are lanterns hanging around it, and there are two large wooden boxes in the middle, which are full of colorful cannons.
Zhi Yunli dressed as a scholarly lady, holding incense in one hand and covering her ears with the other, she was cautiously approaching the cannonball, Ping'er and Niaoniao hid in the corner of the wall and quietly looked at it.
Under the porch of the gate of the dart game, a tall figure in a white robe stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Yunli, his long black hair was tied up with a hosta, looking like a personable son, but his waist and even his limbs were relatively slender, and his buttocks were also very full......
?!
Night Terror Hall really didn't expect Bingtuo to be there, and his footsteps immediately stopped, and his eyes stiffened slightly.
The empress didn't expect Xue Baijin to be embarrassed to run to the night terror hall for the New Year, her originally idle look had a touch of inscrutable emotion, and she stood at the door with her arms folded.
And Xue Baijin in the porch also turned his head at this time, and found that the female emperor had also come to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, frowned slightly, did not speak, turned around and walked out.
"Huh?"
Night Terror Hall can be regarded as the host, and when he saw that the guests were leaving, he naturally stepped forward to block the way:
"Miss Xue, slow down, it's time to eat right away, what are you going to do."
Xue Baijin was blocked by his arm, and his eyes looked at the Night Terror Hall with a slightly cold look, which means that it is difficult to enter if he doesn't go? I'm the leader of the anti-thieves, you asked me to eat with the emperor, do you want to cook the raw rice of Zhao'an?
Night Terror Hall also knew that it was not appropriate for two people to sit and eat together, but let Bingtuo Tuo leave, and the situation between the two of them was completely frozen.
And after eating together and drinking two glasses of wine, no matter how it develops in the future, there will be a friendship over a meal, and shaking hands and making peace will always be smooth.
For this reason, Night Terror Hall still laughed and said:
"Hmm...... Today's New Year's Day, put aside the previous things, and wait for the New Year's Day, come and come, let's have a meal first. ”
The empress was really unhappy that her skirt was torn by this crazy woman, but being seen by the Night Terror Hall was not an unacceptable loss. For this reason, when she saw that the Night Terror Hall was blocking people, she did not refute the face of the Night Terror Hall, and slowly stepped forward and said:
"You're so afraid of me? Don't even dare to eat a meal? ”
Xue Baijin is an old minister of Dayan, and it is true that he is afraid of the imperial court, but how can he really be afraid of the empress? Hearing this, he snorted softly:
"I just don't want to be scared for your safety, as the saying goes, 'A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall', are you sure you want to go in?"
The empress stood and asked Xue Baijin to fight, but Xue Baijin didn't dare to make a rash move, so she didn't respond to this, and directly entered the gate and walked towards the backyard.
Xue Baijin took a breath lightly, considered it slightly, and didn't pay any attention to the empress, and turned to look at the Night Terror Hall:
"Ning'er and I will leave tomorrow, and today's meal is for face."
"Understood."
Night Terror Hall breathed a sigh of relief, stopped Bingtuo Tuo into the courtyard, and asked:
"Leaving tomorrow? Where to? ”
Xue Baijin stayed in Jiangzhou City, and she hadn't heard the wind thousands of miles away, but she originally wanted to go to King Zuo Xian to beat up, and she must have gone to the northwest.
Seeing that Xue Baijin was asked by the Night Terror Hall, he did not report truthfully, but just said casually:
"Walking the rivers and lakes, touring the mountains and rivers."
"Oh......"
Night Terror Hall may have to return to Beijing as soon as possible tomorrow, so he didn't say anything to save it, and entered the courtyard with Bingtuotuo, only to find that the house was suddenly quiet.
Zhe Yunli, who was squatting on the ground and lighting a cannon fight, saw that the female emperor who asked her father to keep her distance was walking towards the backyard with her master, obviously a little confused, and quietly looked at the night terror hall behind, and her eyes signaled-Cousin, are you crazy? It's not going to be a problem, is it?
Night Terror Hall raised his hand slightly to signal that he should not be impatient, and then came to the mansion in the rear.
Sanniang and Fan Qinghe were arranging dishes in the restaurant, and they had already seen the Pingtian Sect Master, and knew that Ning'er's family of three was at home for the New Year today, and when they found the empress walking in, they were obviously stunned, standing in place with two dishes, not knowing what to do.
Luo Ning, who was making tea next to the sea of tea, stood up directly, and his eyes were a little at a loss, looking for Bai Jin and the thief left and right.
Compared with the three of them, the Queen Mother, who didn't know Xue Baijingang's identity, reacted the most naturally, got up and came to the door:
"Yuhu, are you here too? Come in, this palace originally wanted to return to the Gongfu, but Shui'er insisted on letting me come over to drink and sit, um......"
The empress knew all the girls in the house, and she was in a high position all the year round, so naturally she didn't show a shy look, and helped the queen mother back to the house and took the plate from Sanniang's hand:
"It's okay in the Guogong Mansion, come and have a look. Is the dish made by Sanniang? The craftsmanship is so good......"
While he was talking, Xue Baijin walked in from behind, and he didn't look at the empress, but just came to sit down next to Ning Er unhurriedly, and picked up the teacup to drink tea.
“……”
Sanniang and Fan Qinghe, seeing that the two didn't seem to have any intention of conflicting, were secretly relieved, chatted with them, and continued to set up the plate. Luo Ning leaned into Xue Baijin's ear and whispered, probably asking about the situation.
Night Terror Hall came to the door, looked at a room of warblers and warblers, to be honest, I felt that I couldn't control the scene, and after looking left and right, I asked:
"Where's Fairy Lu?"
The Queen Mother followed behind Yuhu to help serve the food, and said:
"Serve the food in the kitchen, the meal is ready, go and call the Yunli girl in."
Night Terror nodded, and after making sure that the two had no intention of fighting, he turned around and came to the front yard again.
Zhe Yunli had no intention of setting off firecrackers, and at this time he stood outside the courtyard wall of the house and quietly looked around, and when he saw the night terror hall coming out, he hooked his hand.
Night Terror came to him and beckoned:
"Let's go in and eat."
How could Zhe Yunli have the heart to eat, and pulled the sleeve of the night terror hall to the corner of the wall, and his eyes were very strange:
"Shocking cousin, our family celebrates the New Year, how do you ......"
"Shh~"
Night Terror Hall raised his hand and instructed him not to talk nonsense, and then said:
"Just come and sit down, I'm measured, nothing will happen."
Zhi Yunli was not worried about the master's accident, but was afraid of an embarrassing atmosphere, seeing that the Night Terror Hall said this, she naturally didn't talk much, touched it from her arms, took out a small purse, and handed it to the Night Terror Hall:
"That."
Night Terror was stunned, took the small purse and looked at it:
"What is this?"
"Aren't you celebrating your birthday today, you have to have a little fun."
Zhe Yunli lightly bumped the night terror hall's arm:
"Open it and see if you like it."
Night Terror Hall really didn't expect that the first gift was received from Yunli......
In fact, it's not the first one, Hu Niuniu's gift is more honest......
Night Terror quickly swept away the distracting thoughts, and opened the small lotus leaf green purse, which could be seen to contain a jade pendant; The jade pendant is warm white, warm and moist, and the surface is engraved with a fat-headed bird, although the carving is not extraordinary, but it is also lifelike, very exquisite.
Night Terror Hall rubbed his fingers against the jade pendant, and his eyes were quite surprised: "You carved it yourself?" ”
Zhe Yunli grinned, and wanted to nod, but after thinking about it, he folded his hands on his waist and made a shy and timid appearance:
"Brother Shocking Brother is good to me, my sister sees it in my eyes and remembers it in my heart, today my brother has a birthday, if my sister is perfunctory, I ......"
"Uh......"
Night Terror Hall was afraid of being broken by Bingtuo, so he hurriedly interrupted Yunli's spell:
"Okay, okay, I like it very much, let's go into the house to eat, what should your master do if he hears it......"
Zhe Yunli was also afraid that the master and the master would beat her when they heard about it, so they also took the credit at the moment, and entered the courtyard together with satisfaction......
——
Cracking sound......
The sound of firecrackers rang out from all over the city, and the courtyard of the deep house was brightly lit.
In the large dining room in the center of the house, a large round table was set up, on which there were more than 20 dishes, including Yunzhou cuisine made by Sanniang, Jiangzhou cuisine made by Luo Ning, and the most central dish was Fan Qinghe's roast lamb with northwest characteristics.
Originally, Yunli was also going to show her skills to cook a pot of rice noodles, but unfortunately she was persuaded by several aunts to go out to set off a cannon battle, otherwise there would be more dishes.
The Queen Mother, regardless of her identity or seniority, was the highest in the audience, and naturally sat in the main seat at this time, maintaining the sweet smile of Guotai Min'an, but she was a little nervous in her heart, after all, half of the room was a night terror daughter-in-law.
The empress sat on the right hand side of the Queen Mother, probably not wanting to ruin the atmosphere, but the idleness of the past was a little bit over, just talking to the Queen Mother about these painless gossip.
As the emperor, Xuanji Zhenren naturally sat on the left hand side of the Queen Mother, her demeanor was a little eclectic, her hands supported her side face, and she kept looking at Ning Er and Xue Baijin, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Fan Qinghe felt that this was a confrontation between the good and evil sides of Great Wei, and he didn't dare to come to the demon girl, so he sat alone in the middle position, and put the bird on the seat on his side as a shield.
In front of the public, Sanniang still regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the night terror, and did not sit down, turning around to pour wine for the distinguished guests.
Luo Ning actually wanted to pose as a woman, but the original match was in front of her, the female emperor was opposite, and the apprentice had to be the next seat, she didn't dare to move, she just watched her nose and nose, and made a cold woman who said little.
Xue Baijin is the most special, looking at the wine glass in front of him without smiling, it looks like he is thinking about a major event related to the lives of the people in the world, but the psychological journey is estimated to be:
Why am I sitting here?
What does this have to do with me?
Hurry up and get it over, tired......
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
Soon, Night Terror Hall walked in from the outside with Xiao Yunli.
Night Terror Hall looked at the six women sitting on the table, and the pressure in his heart also came up, and he consciously sat at the door with Yun Li, and greeted with a smile:
"Sanniang, come and sit down."
Pei Xiangjun sat down next to the Night Terror Hall at this time, and he wanted to say a few auspicious words, but the trio of the imperial court and the trio of the Peace Heavenly Sect looked at each other across the table, and the situation was similar to the negotiation between the two countries, and he really didn't know how to start.
The person brought by the Night Terror Hall himself, no matter how much he walked on thin ice at this time, he had to warm up, so he raised his wine glass first:
"When I entered Beijing in April, I unknowingly ended the year and was a year older. Thank you for your care and help these days, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be ......where I am today."
The empress saw that the night terror hall was talking to herself, the atmosphere was indeed a little cold, thinking about it, she still pressed the matter of Xue Baijin to the back of her mind, and said with a smile:
"It's okay if you don't say it, I think it's really fast to say, it's only been a long time, there are eight girls here, and three of them have become your confidantes......"
?!
As soon as these words came out, except for Xue Baijin, almost everyone in the audience was so nervous that they choked up in the night.
Luo Ning was afraid that the empress would not know the inside story, so she accidentally said something and suddenly sat up a little straighter. But before she could give the thief a look, she heard a voice:
"No, no, I'm okay with my cousin......"
??
The restaurant suddenly fell silent, and the birds, along with the birds, turned their heads to look at the poached eggs with red faces.
Zhi Yunli was originally a good young lady, and she didn't want to speak, but the female emperor opposite suddenly said, "Three confidantes", which really shocked her.
After all, there are eight women sitting at the table, first of all, the queen mother can't be a confidante, Aunt Lu is an elder, obviously it's impossible, needless to say, the master and the mother, the female emperor won't make fun of herself if she wants to, so she went to five.
And the remaining three, only she, Aunt Pei, and Aunt Fan are left, and she doesn't know if Aunt Fan has a concubine with her cousin Lang in private, but she obviously doesn't.
Zhe Yunli estimated that the female emperor was a good match for her and cousin Jing's age, talent and appearance, and she misunderstood, and her face turned red to explain:
"My cousin and I are ordinary friends, sister, don't get me wrong......"
“……”
The empress really didn't expect that if she went out with a word, she could blow up the youngest Nizi in the house.
Shouldn't you be at a loss?
What does it mean to be in a panic and your face is flushed......
The empress was a little funny, and it was not easy to see the little girl Yunli answering the phone one by one, so she said in passing:
"Oh? Really, that's when I looked away? ”
"My talent is mediocre, where can I be worthy of my amazing cousin, hehe......"
Zhi Yunli didn't dare to talk about these things in front of her master and mother, so she smiled very obediently, and then picked up her wine glass and diverted the topic:
"Today's birthday shocking cousin, let's have a glass of surprise."
Night Terror Hall heard that Yun Li was humble, and it was not easy to say that Yun Li was worthy, and he also picked up his wine glass at the moment:
"I'm less than twenty, what kind of birthday do I have, let's just celebrate the New Year. Come on, come on, and wish you all a Happy New Year! ”
The Queen Mother, Fan Qinghe, Sanniang, Ning'er, and Shui'er all raised their wine glasses when they saw this.
The empress didn't tease anymore, picked up her wine glass and looked at Xue Baijin opposite.
Xue Baijin came here, so naturally he didn't know how to put on a score, but just stood up with a wine glass like a shy woman who didn't say much.
Bite~
In the light of the lantern candlestick, nine wine glasses touched each other, and the skirts of various colors covered the raised wings.
Ping'er, Xiuhe, Hongyu and other maids who were eating Chinese New Year's Eve next door also clinked glasses with each other, and outside the white walls and green tiles, there were also brilliant fireworks in the sky.
Puff –
With a glass of wine in his stomach, his qi and blood surged, and the embarrassing atmosphere of Fang Cai was obviously relieved a little, and words sounded in the room one after another:
"Hey~ This wine is so strong! Aunt Lu, what kind of wine is this? ”
"The martyrs are worried, and the rivers and lakes are kneeling with immortals."
"How do you drink this...... Enchantress, did you change the wine? ”
"Have you a happy New Year, it's boring to drink anything else."
"Heh~ Then it seems that it is still a life and death situation today, I don't know how much Miss Xue drinks......"
"Humph......"
"Yunli, are you still drinking? Want to sleep until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? ”
"Shocking, you should drink less, don't ...... Alas......"
"Hehe......"
"Twitter......"
……

Rushed out at night.
