In the past of the lively and lively ceremony, the Shen family really received a lot of invitations from the house, and there were all kinds of flower viewing banquets and opera banquets.

Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi still insisted on their previous decision, but this was also based on Shen Xingqi's personal wishes.

"You really don't have any special ideas about life's events?"

"I—I'm still young."

"Okay, let's not be in a hurry."

Cheng Xi saw her blushing and closed the invitation decisively, "I will refuse these invitations for you." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Shen Xingqi breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had let go of a matter of her heart, and the whole person relaxed, which made her cry and laugh a little in Cheng Xi's eyes.

This girl is really not in a hurry at all.

Shen Xingqi is really not in a hurry, she was still young when Cheng Xi never married, and she never considered this matter, and Cheng Xi's thinking was greatly impacted after she got married, and she slowly discovered that women don't necessarily have to get married, but it is more important to live out themselves.

What's more, she is living a very fulfilling life now, and her daily step-by-step cultivation ability will make her feel that this world is broader than before, if she is tired, she can also cook and embroider, and she doesn't know how good her life is, this kind of life is something she has never thought of before.

If you get married, do you have to live the same life as the woman in the back house?

No, no, it's terrible!

Shen Xingqi felt a cold wind blowing in his back, took a sip of hot tea and quickly got up and walked towards the training room, leaving only a fresh breeze.

Cheng Xi: "? ”

***

When a heavy snow falls again, the world ushers in another new year.

Emperor Dayan had already announced that he would close his pen, the Hanlin Academy gave the officials a holiday, Shen Xingluo no longer got up early to go to order and was completely idle, and the Shen family's breakfast time was directly pushed back by an hour.

On this day, Shen Xingqi rarely did not pull Wangshu to train, but squatted in the kitchen to prepare all kinds of fried goods.

The Great Yan Dynasty also has the custom of eating fish during the New Year, and the imperial doctor has more than one year after another, but the capital is not close to the sea, and the blocky hairtail fish on the modern table is not expected to be seen, and can only be replaced by river fish such as crucian carp and carp.

But for Cheng Xi, it's not difficult at all.

The palm-sized fish is cleaned, marinated for a few hours, and then wrapped in a layer of batter and fried in an oil pan.

Su Zhan went out and brought back a large piece of white and tender tofu, and Cheng Xi simply added diced carrots and chopped green onions, crushed them, and fried them together to make vegetarian balls.

Stewed soft bones, spicy lamb stick bones and lamb scorpions, freshly fried beans, braised chicken, rice cakes, flower rolls.

The Shen family's kitchen was fragrant all day long, until the fiery red sunset gradually set.

When the Shen family's small courtyard was covered with festive spring couplets and window flowers inside and out, the Chinese New Year's Eve also quietly arrived, and the alley was lively again, and the children in the neighborhood were jumping in new clothes, and the children's words did not stop for a moment.

"Childe, madam, the New Year's gifts from various houses have been registered."

Su Zhan's housekeeper was in a hurry for three days, and finally finished dealing with the human relations in the Shen Mansion during the New Year.

Most of the ancient porcelain books sent by ordinary people were sent back at the equivalent value of the registered New Year's gifts, and only the Du Mansion and the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, which got along well with the Shen family, sent fruit wine and cakes.

Shen Xingluo took the gift list and flipped through it, and put it down indifferently.

"Put it here, and then follow this specification."

"Yes."

Su Zhan nodded, "In addition, Old Man Cheng's Tuo Hongwei Dart Bureau sent a letter, saying that he would be able to enter Beijing tomorrow, and Fuguang would also come back." ”
