Because of the urgency at the border gate, Bai Shou failed to stay in the capital for the New Year, and after eating, he packed up his things and hurried to the border to find Hu Qing and a few people to meet.

After all, they are brothers who have been together for a long time. Before leaving, in addition to teaching Bai Shou a few simple modern individual combat weapons, He Xiaoqiao also stuffed a large number of dried meat and a sticky fire spoon with unique Northeast characteristics for him to take on the road to satisfy his hunger.

In addition, there are freshly baked dried sweet potatoes.

In winter, there is little sunshine, so after the cooked sweet potatoes are cut into strips, except for occasional sun exposure, most of the time they are placed on the kang and baked, and the moisture is almost removed.

Dried sweet potatoes coated with a thin layer of frosting taste sweet but not greasy, and they are very tough and chewy, in addition to being able to satisfy hunger, they are also easy to store, and it is also a good choice for people who go out all year round as dry food - of course, she usually eats this as a snack.

Less than three days after Bai Shou left, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the capital was full of lights, and everyone's faces were full of joy that could not be concealed. People come and go on the street, and no matter where you go, you can feel the strong flavor of the New Year.

The house had already purchased all the New Year's goods more than a month ago, because many things were done by Liu Yidao, so He Xiaoqiao didn't have much to worry about, except for taking care of the two little buns, he occasionally followed Jiang Fenghao to manage the accounts, and his life was full and comfortable.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, at noon, He Xiaoqiao asked the big kitchen to clean up more than a dozen tables of noodles, and everyone in the mansion gathered together for a New Year's dinner, and by the way, he sent the New Year money to the next people. In the evening, before it was dark, he hugged the little brothers and went into the palace with Jiang Fenghao and went to the family banquet of Lao Jiang's family.

From the Mid-Autumn Banquet to the present, this is the first time she has entered the palace.

Out of politeness, it was natural to visit the Queen Mother first, and take the twin brothers to their aunt to see, and then let the chief of internal affairs lead them to the main hall to attend the banquet.

The couple was holding a fat doll in their hands, and it was a uniform red family outfit with a flaked down vest and rabbit fur gloves, which received the highest attention as soon as they entered the door.

The twin brothers who came out to show their faces for the first time steadily attracted everyone's attention, and the festive vests of the same series as their parents were still wearing tiger head hats on their heads, and their black grape-like eyes were rolling around their bones, and their pink and jade appearance made people want to pounce on them and nibble on them immediately.

Because it was a family banquet, all the people who came were only from the Lao Jiang family, and in addition to Jinghe, the Xiangyang Wang family was also impressively listed. Princess Xiangyang was even more overjoyed to come forward and hold the two little ones and refused to let go, shouting with her heart and liver, and took out the prepared red envelopes and stuffed them into the pockets of the little brothers' clothes.

Seeing this, some other relatives who were related to each other immediately followed suit, whether it was silver money or jewelry, as long as they had everything they could handle, they all stuffed it, and then pinched a handful of tender tofu on the faces of the little brothers and ate some tender tofu.

Fortunately, the two buns are used to being pinched and pinched by their mothers on weekdays, so their performance is quite calm. Even the boss barbecued pork bun, who has never liked to be close to people, couldn't help but get angry, but his eyebrows were always wrinkled tightly, like a little old man.

It wasn't until Jiang Mufeng arrived and everyone dispersed that the brothers were able to regain their freedom and go straight into their father's arms aggrievedly.

The family banquet is not as particular as other occasions, so Princess Xiangyang naturally moved her seat to He Xiaoqiao's side to accompany her.

There are acquaintances who can talk, and He Xiaoqiao is finally not so boring.

Halfway through the dinner, fireworks burst into full bloom in the night sky, showing the world their dazzling brilliance.

After a period of singing and dancing, Jiang Fenghao looked at his daughter-in-law and son who were a little drowsy, so he proposed to retire in advance.

Jiang Mufeng understood the reason, but he didn't do much to keep it, and even personally sent people to the door.

As soon as he left, the people behind him naturally didn't dare to continue to sit on the chair, and all of them followed behind him, looking as if they were dragging a large string of zongzi, and the scene was spectacular.

In the end, He Xiaoqiao only needed the yam to be delivered, and Jiang Fenghao was responsible for 'persuading' the slightly drunk emperor to go back.

"Yam, come here." Before getting into the carriage, He Xiaoqiao stuffed his two sons into Jiang Fenghao's arms, and stretched out his hand to beckon the yam over.

Although the latter did not know why, he still stepped forward obediently.

He Xiaoqiao looked around, and when he saw that no one was passing by, he lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me the truth, does my eldest nephew already know that you are a woman?" ”

"Nope." Yam shook his head honestly, "Minions...... I'm sure no one else knows about it. ”

"That ......"

He Xiaoqiao remembered that at the banquet just now, Jiang Mufeng glanced at Yam's gentle and doting little eyes from time to time, couldn't help but have a toothache, turned back to Jiang Fenghao and said, "It seems that our eldest nephew is really going to bend." ”

Although Yam is a real woman, she now plays a complete male ...... No, it's half a man. And Jiang Mufeng was able to stare at others with a look of affection when he knew that the other party was exactly the same as his own physique, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had found true love - this cliff is the rhythm of running farther and farther on the road of broken sleeves and peaches!

Jiang Fenghao, who has been popularized a lot of modern knowledge, naturally knows what his daughter-in-law said, and he calmly answered without thinking about it, "It's okay, he already has an heir anyway." ”

Hey?! It seems like that's the case.

Recalling the smiling smiling women who sat behind Jiang Mufeng in a row, He Xiaoqiao instantly understood and thought deeply, "Roar!" ”

Anyway, as a man, he has fulfilled the responsibility of letting the daughters-in-law in the family spread out and pass on the lineage, and then he can freely pursue true love by all kinds of deaths - sure enough, he has a good calculation!

Fortunately, the great god of crossing did not arrange for her to dress as a concubine, otherwise when she met an emperor like Jiang Mufeng, she would definitely want to chop off his cucumber every minute - this day is too insecure.

When I came back from the palace, it was not early. The lanterns on the street bring out the festive atmosphere to the extreme.

Sent the twin brothers who had fallen asleep back to the room, and after freshening up, He Xiaoqiao lazily shrunk on the brocade with a mug in his hand, and drank hot milk tea while telling the story of the New Year Beast to a few people who picked lotus.

In the end, I felt bored, so I simply drew two decks of playing cards, and a bunch of people gathered around to play Zakin - in view of Jiang Fenghao's excellent luck in opening and never having a defeat, everyone had the ambition to refuse his joining.

Love to joke, who would be stupid enough to automatically send money when they know that they will definitely lose?

So a certain prince who was rejected by his daughter-in-law because his gambling luck was too prosperous had to squat beside him with a sad face, and by the way, he took care of his sons who couldn't turn over by themselves.

Everyone has to keep the New Year on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it's easy to fall asleep if you don't find something to do.

The night was as cold as water, and I don't know when the snowflakes fell again. The palace hall was brightly lit and warm like spring, and a group of people gambled and began to roar and scream, and I don't know who shouted first that they were hungry and wanted to eat supper, so they played cards and finally became a foodie dinner.

Jiang Fenghao had already intimately hung the plush earmuffs on his son's ears to isolate all sounds, so the brothers were not woken up by the ghost roar in the hall, their pink little mouths were slightly open, and they still slept very sweetly.

As soon as the time passed, the sound of firecrackers crackled outside, one after another, and the barking of dogs spread far away.

A certain prince who had been neglected for a long time immediately got up, saw the opportunity to kick Lu Ziqi and others, who were still dead and did not leave, out of the door, and then turned around to pick up his daughter-in-law who was still domineering and clamoring for others to disobey the battle, and jumped back to the room with a few satisfied clicks.

The red silk tent was warm, and the spring night was tight, and He Xiaoqiao almost couldn't get up the next day.

It is an unchanging custom to eat dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

All kinds of dumplings were wrapped the day before yesterday, and in addition to the meaty fillings, there were also many copper coins, red threads and other knick-knacks that symbolized good intentions.

The white and chubby dumplings are churned in the cauldron until they are fully cooked, at which point they can be scooped up with a fence and offered a bowl to the ancestors first, and when the ancestors have finished 'eating', the descendants are allowed to use the chopsticks.

After eating dumplings and getting good intentions, it is an indispensable New Year's greeting.

As an adult who has already started a family and become a father, in addition to greeting the elders, he is waiting for the younger generations to come to pay New Year's greetings to himself.

Jiang Fenghao is not very old, but he occupies a high seniority, except for the existing queen mother and the king of Xiangyang and other 'older generation' brothers and sisters-in-law and the emperor of special existence who need him to visit in person, the rest of the time is to sit at home and wait for others to kowtow to him.

Even He Xiaoqiao followed and enjoyed the high-standard treatment of being an 'old-timer' in advance - except for making a cameo appearance as a god statue and giving people all kinds of bows, there was almost no income, but he almost had hand cramps when he sent silver.

After a busy day, I was finally able to rest for a while.

He Xiaoqiao, whose cheek muscles were a little stiff with a smile, finally lulled his eyelids and finally coaxed his two sons to sleep, and then he also followed down to Ah Fu next to him, holding its huge forelimbs with both hands, arching his face in the warm long hair on its body, and fell asleep in a daze.

Jiang Fenghao, who had just come back from the study, saw this extraordinarily harmonious picture at first sight.

Shaking his head, he stepped forward to pick up his daughter-in-law and put her back on the bed, first removing her robe and shoes and socks, and then pulling the quilt to cover her.

"Lord Wang," Leng Qianshan's voice sounded outside, as cold and low as ever, "The deployment in the palace has been completed, the emperor's will, please come over as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Fenghao looked up at the sunset outside the window, carefully folded the corners of the quilt, lowered his head and put a kiss on He Xiaoqiao's forehead, and looked at the twins who were still sleeping in the crib with gentle eyes, and then stood up.

"Hong Fang followed me into the palace, and the others stayed to protect the princess and the two young masters."

"Yes!"
