Chapter 168: Jealousy
Yinqi walked over quickly, showed a gentle smile, and said with a smile: "You have to keep vigil all night tonight, you can bear with it!" ”
Wanyue suddenly pouted and nodded, she really hadn't survived like this for a long time, so she was a little sleepy, but fortunately, it was like this one day a year.
I don't know when it arose, Wanyue happened to hear Mama Li mention it, it seems that the Han people have the habit of keeping the New Year on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it also imitated the customs of the Han people, and gradually the children of the Eight Banners also followed the New Year's Day in the Chinese New Year's Eve to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
The maids and maids in Xinuan Pavilion haven't slept yet, and the two masters haven't slept yet, so they have to follow the New Year's Eve, but the three children Hongyuan, Junhua and Sifeng couldn't help it, and they fell asleep early.
Hongsheng now has a master to teach him his studies, and he knows the etiquette and humility, as the eldest son, he wants to set an example for his younger brothers and sisters in the house, and he obediently sits in the house with Wanyue.
It wasn't until Yinqi came in that Hongsheng got up and saluted Yinqi in a decent manner, and said loudly: "My son wishes Ama an auspicious New Year, and I wish Eniang a healthy and smooth future." ”
Hearing this, Yinqi lowered his eyes and looked at Hongsheng, and said approvingly: "Well, Hongsheng's auspicious words are good, it seems that Mr. Teaching is attentive to you." ”
After speaking, Yinqi instructed Steward Yan who was standing at the door: "Steward Yan, do you remember to reward Mr. Teaching with some silver in a few days, he taught Hongsheng to be quite dedicated, and he should be rewarded." ”
Steward Yan stood at the door and bowed in response: "Huh! ”
Wanyue glanced at Hongsheng, this kid knows how to speak, I hope he can forget the wrong things that his mother did, Wanyue prayed in her heart.
At this time, Mother Wang walked in from outside the house, glanced at Yin Qi and Wan Yue, thought for a while, and asked: "Master, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has been prepared, do you want to pass on a few other little masters here?" ”
Wanyue couldn't help but glance at Yinqi, Yinqi bowed slightly at her, Mama Wang already understood, raised her legs and subconsciously retreated to the door.
Then he ordered to the few little guys standing at the door: "You two go and call Shu Fujin and two Gege to come over, and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Fujin and Wubeile." ”
After a while, Su Xin, Ma Gege and Qian Gege came, but they were all some refreshments, melons and fruits and some cold dishes, there were almost no hot dishes, and the dining room did not prepare hot dishes at all.
A few people sat around talking and laughing, and the maids brought up three charcoal basins, and the room was warm for a while, Wanyue saw that Qian Gege seemed to be a little silent, so she proposed: "Why don't we play pai gow together?" ”
Su Xin and Ma Gege echoed one after another, Yinqi smiled slightly, thinking of Yue'er's sleepy appearance when he entered the room just now and his energetic energy now.
Yin Qi also responded: "This proposal is good, we should pass the time, but we can play with real money, otherwise it will be boring." ”
At the mention of wanting to play really, Magge's heart suddenly felt cold, her silver was kept to buy ingredients, what if she lost!
She frowned involuntarily, most of her excitement had been extinguished, and Qian Gege, who was sitting next to her, didn't say a word, and the expression on her face was very cold.
Wanyue saw that Ma Gege seemed to be a little hesitant, and couldn't help but quip: "Sister, Lord Belle is bluffing you, how can you ask for your silver, let's have fun." ”
As soon as Wanyue said this, Ma Gege blushed and nodded, because she thought too much.
Several people played like this until the first day of the first lunar month.
Yinqi and Wanyue wanted to enter the palace to ask Concubine Yi for peace, and Su Xin, Ma Gege and Qian Gege fell asleep as soon as they returned to the house.
Wanyue closed her eyes and slept in the carriage for a while, until Yinqi woke her up after arriving at the Shenwu Gate, Wanyue had just gotten off the carriage, and the carriages of Jiu Elder Brother and Jiu Fujin had also arrived.
Wan Yue squinted her eyes and looked at it, and after watching Jiu Fu Jin get out of the carriage, she changed the look on her face.
"Ninth brother and sister, what a coincidence, I didn't expect everyone to arrive together."
"Yes, fifth sister-in-law, let's go and say hello to Eniang together." Jiufujin glanced at Wanyue, fortunately she was there, so she didn't need to go to Yikun Palace alone with trepidation.
Jiufujin has not been pregnant yet, and the concubines in the house have already given birth to a concubine, although Concubine Yi didn't say anything on her face, but Jiufujin still has a little mind about this matter in his heart.
Yinqi and Brother Jiu walked side by side in front, and Wanyue and Jiufu Jin walked behind them hand in hand. Along the way, Wanyue and Jiufujin seemed to have opened the chatterbox, chatting all the way from Shenwumen to the front of Yikun Palace, until Yifei's personal eunuch Zhang Gonggong came out to let them in, Wanyue and Jiufujin stopped talking.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but shake his head, and muttered to himself in his heart: Why does this woman talk so little in the house, but she talks a lot with her fifth sister-in-law!
After a few people entered the main hall of Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi was already sitting on the main seat waiting for them, and after seeing her two sons and two daughters-in-law, Concubine Yi was very pleased, and even the palace maids with gifts in their hands on the side had a smile on their faces.
After a salute, a few people sat down, and Concubine Yi raised her voice: "This is the emperor's reward for me, just get together two jade Ruyi, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, Wufujin and Jiufujin, you two each have a jade Ruyi."
"Thank you, Concubine!" Wanyue and Jiufujin got up at the same time and saluted and thanked Concubine Yi.
There are many rules in the palace, and after saluting, Concubine Yi glanced at the two palace maids standing beside her, and the two palace maids hurriedly moved to Wanyue and Jiufujin, and presented the jade Ruyi they were holding in front of the two.
Wanyue and Jiufujin took the jade Ruyi from the palace maid, this jade Ruyi is crystal clear, smooth to the touch like satin, both of them like it very much, the most important thing, such a jade Ruyi is only available in the palace, and people outside can't buy it even if they want to spend a lot of money.
However, the gifts of Yinqi and Brother Jiu were much inferior, and what Concubine Yi gave them were some riding and shooting things, and the two of them were not much interested in this.
After taking a few sips of tea, Brother Jiu thought that the starling brother was secretly talking to the fifth brother without him last night, and his heart was a little unhappy, so he looked up at Yinqi, who was sitting opposite, and saw that his eyes glanced at the fifth sister-in-law a few times.
After hesitating for a moment, Brother Jiu put aside the tea in his hand and said, "Fifth brother, why didn't you leave without saying anything about what I asked you about last night?" ”
When Concubine Yi, Wanyue and Jiufu Jin heard this, they all turned their curious eyes to Yinqi.
Yinqi was a little embarrassed to be stared at, and after a while, he replied in a deep voice: "I was in a hurry to go home, and I don't have anything to say." ”
Brother Jiu's body shook slightly, and there was obvious disbelief in his eyes, "Then what did you talk about with Brother Starling?" Why don't you ignore me and leave? ”
When Yinqi heard this, he was a little speechless, and asked in his heart: Are you embarrassed to ask me, you have been following the eighth brother, forget about my own brother!!
The people in the room looked at each other, not understanding what the brothers were talking about.
Wanyue was also quite curious, what did the ninth brother mean by this, could it be that Lord Belle and the eighth brother talked about something last night without telling the ninth brother?
Brother Jiu kept staring at Yinqi, wanting to know from him what they talked about last night, Yinqi glanced back at him, and roared with a little humility: "You are so familiar with the eighth brother, why didn't you ask the eighth brother!" ”
Hearing this, Concubine Yi felt a little crying and laughing, listening to Yinqi's child's tone, how could it be like eating the vinegar of the eighth elder brother Yinqi?
Concubine Yi didn't have time to make fun of her two sons, so she saw Brother Jiu get up and walk to Yinqi and kneel, and then hugged Yinqi with both hands and shook it, "Fifth brother, just tell me!" Fifth brother."
Jiu Fu Jin looked at Brother Jiu's move, and his eyes widened directly, as if he had seen a ghost alive.
