171 Chinese New Year's Eve
An Chuxia looked at Mu Tan and Si Heng who were standing at the door with thick snow on their bodies, and didn't know what to say.
I had to pick up the duster and go out and sweep the snow off them, and then asked, "Why are you here at this time, it's so cold under the snow!" Is there something going on? ”
"Nothing!" Si Heng said stiffly.
The two of them came on a fast horse and couped the path, and it took less than a day to rush back after Chinese New Year's Eve here.
An Chuxia glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and without asking anything more, she instructed Liu Xiang to turn on the hot water and let them wash it.
There was a stove in the house, and there were a lot of people today, and the warmth quickly eased Mu Tan and Si Heng's cold bodies.
Sitting at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table were An Chuxia brothers and sisters, Mu Tan and Si Heng, Wang Libin and Bai Yunduo, An Zixi and Zuo Wang, forming a large table.
There are chickens, ducks, and fish on the table, but there are some green vegetables missing in the southern winter.
An Chuxia instructed Liu Xiang to bring some good wine she had prepared, and then asked her to also go to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Wu Po's mother and son while it was hot.
You don't have to wait here anymore.
An Zixi and Zuo Wang each took a pot of wine and gave it to everyone to drink.
An Chuxia smiled and picked up the wine glass and said: "New year and new atmosphere, I wish everyone all the best in the coming year and good health!" ”
An Chuxia said the auspicious words of the New Year, and everyone laughed and clinked glasses and drank the wine in the glass.
Mu Tan and Si Heng both ate tofu and dried tofu for the first time, they were fragrant and smooth, and they were very delicious, so they asked An Chuxia: "What kind of ingredients is this?" ”
"It's a soy product made of soybeans, if you two like to eat it and still have it at home, I'll bring it to you when you leave." An Chuxia drank the wine, and his face was slightly red.
"Well, it's delicious!" Mu Tan sandwiched a piece of fish and boiled tofu.
An Chuxia looked at him with a smile and said, "Then bring it for you." ”
Si Heng saw the harmonious and warm scene of you, his eyes flashed, and he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
An Jinchen looked at Mu Tan, he already knew that Mu Tan was interesting to his sister, but what was going on with that man, he always glanced at his sister from the corner of his eye.
Wang Libin looked at the two men who were so extraordinary, and they all looked at their junior sisters with admiration, and they were proud of having such an excellent junior sister.
None of their brothers were moved by this clear-minded and calm little junior sister, but in the end they were all impressed by her knowledge.
I only felt that I was blaspheming my junior sister when I thought about it, so I took away their little thoughts.
Bai Yunduo was originally seeing Mu Tan and Si Heng who came in, but he was also confused by the excellent appearance of the two.
After discovering that no matter where the two men's eyes were placed, their consciousness followed the county magistrate, she withdrew her gaze and concentrated on eating a few dishes in front of her.
An Jinchen and Wang Libin, Zuo Wang, and An Zixi, who thinks he has grown up, have already had a cup of yours and a cup of me, and they began to brag indiscriminately.
An Chuxia was in his home today, and he was surrounded by familiar and close people, so he drank a few more glasses.
At this time, she was a little drunk, and her usually too fair face was also dyed with red glow, and she squinted at everyone.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone moved to the warm hall to find a place to sit, and An Chuxia and Bai Yunduo sat on the soft bed.
Everyone started chatting, An Jinchen and An Zixi were already leaning back in their chairs, squinting their eyes and dozing.
An Chuxia said with a smile: "Brother, Zixi, there are no elders here staring at you to stay up Chinese New Year's Eve, go back to sleep quickly!" ”
"Ahh
Zuo Wang, who was also a little drunk, tapped with his elbow, and An Jinchen squinted at this time, looking at An Chuxia with some drunken eyes.
"Oh, then go back and sleep for a while, and then you wake me up when the time comes."
An Chuxia replied: "Okay! ”
An Jinchen, An Zixi, and Zuo Wang, the three of them, helped each other and left to go back to sleep.
Wang Libin also bowed his hand to everyone and said: "Senior sister, senior brother is also a little unable to stay up, so I went back to bed early."
Tomorrow, the junior sister will remember to prepare a big red envelope for the senior brother to make New Year's money. ”
An Chuxia was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It seems that the senior brother has made a mistake, if you want to say that you want to give the New Year's money, shouldn't the senior brother give it to me?" ”
Wang Libin's square face was full of disapproval and said: "Where have you ever seen that subordinates give red envelopes to Shangguan?" ”
An Chuxia's face stiffened, and she was asked.
"Poof!" Bai Yunduo also stood up with a smile.
"The county magistrate remembers that when you send out red envelopes tomorrow, don't forget me!" Then he and Wang Libin walked out of the warm hall one after another.
Seeing the people leave one by one, An Chuxia raised her white hand and put it to her mouth and yawned, she was actually a little sleepy.
Mu Tan saw that everyone was gone, he turned his head to look at Si Heng, and the meaning was not too obvious.
However, Si Heng was like a blind man, looking down at the teacup in his hand, and the one he made was as steady as Mount Tai and just didn't move.
Mu Tan couldn't just pretend that he didn't exist, took out something wrapped in snow-white brocade from his arms, walked over and handed it to An Chuxia: "New Year's gift for you!" ”
An Chuxia suddenly remembered that she had also been prepared as a New Year's gift by Mu Tan, took the things in Mu Tan's hand, and then called Liu Xiang.
"My lord, what do you command?"
An Chuxia said: "You go and bring the brown piece from the cabinet in my room that I made years ago." ”
"Yes!" Liu Xiang saluted and went out to get something.
"Open it and take a look! Like it or not! Mu Tan urged An Chuxia to open the gift he had given.
An Chuxia smiled, lifted the brocade and saw that there was a very beautiful mutton fat white jade water unicorn ornament inside.
Mu Tan asked, "Do you like it?" I know that you often have to wear official clothes, and it is troublesome and cumbersome to carry other accessories.
This water unicorn ornament is hung around the waist and worn, which can be pressed against the hem of the official uniform and not blown up by the wind, making it beautiful and practical to wear. ”
Looking at the smile on Mu Tan's face, An Chuxia touched the warm jade pendant in his hand, nodded and replied, "It looks good!" ”
Si Heng looked up at the jade pendant that he had seen Mu Tan and carved and polished with his own hands, and touched the burden he had brought with him.
At this time, Liu Xiang entered the warm hall with a brown coat, "My lord, I brought something." ”
An Chuxia took the big dazor and handed it to Mu Tan: "Try it, it doesn't fit!" ”
Along the way, they know each other very well, think about each other like relatives, and worry about each other.
An Chuxia also thought of the cold in northern Hebei, so he made a big coat for Mu Tan to keep out the cold.
Mu Tan has always been handsome, and he couldn't help but smile at this time, took the big coat and put it on his body, his posture was upright, and after wearing the big coat, he looked even more handsome and elegant.
He looked up at An Chuxia and smiled tenderly.
At this time, Si Heng, who was sitting next to him, reached out and put the burden he had brought, walked over and put it on An Chuxia's knees.
He said in a deep voice, "At this time, I give you a New Year's gift." ”
Then he looked at An Chuxia fixedly, as if he was waiting for her to return the gift.
