Chapter 192: Chinese New Year's Eve
He Qingxiao's question made Xin Yu's eyes twitch slightly, but it was what she expected.
When Lord He discovers that she ordered the emperor to take the initiative to investigate Wanyang came from "Journey to the West", he will definitely doubt Mr. Songling's true identity.
But what does it matter, from the fact that she chose to tell Lord He about her mother's parents, it turned out that she won the bet.
At least for now, Lord He is someone you can trust.
"I don't know. Perhaps."
As He Qingxiao thought, in Xin Yu's opinion, some things are good for each other, and admitting it is troublesome. Sooner or later, the murder of his mother will be in front of that person, and it will be very difficult to be caught in it as Lord He.
"Then I'll take my leave."
"I'll send you to Lord-sama."
This time, He Qingxiao did not refuse, and sent him to the corner gate by Xin Yu.
The snow had not disappeared everywhere, the weather was colder than yesterday, and the man in front of him was not heavily dressed.
"It's cold and snowy now, it's not easy to go south, Lord He, take care." Xin Yu's tone was gentle.
He Qingxiao's eyes moved, and finally he only nodded: "There are many things in Beijing, if Miss Kou needs help, you can go to Yan Chao, he is quite reliable."
On his trip to the south, most of the investigations have already been checked, and more to put the things found in front of the emperor openly. On the contrary, it is Miss Kou, the Lotus Garden banquet has entered the emperor's sight, and it may attract some people with ulterior motives.
"Okay, if I encounter trouble that can't be solved, I'll go to Deputy Yan Qianhu."
Xin Yumu sent He Qingxiao to ride away on horseback, turned around and walked towards Wanqingju.
The next day is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Shaoqing Mansion is busy preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and New Year.
Duan Shaoqing specially asked Xin Yu, "Lord He won't come again today, right?"
During the Chinese New Year, Jin Linwei came to the door again and again, who can stand it.
"Whether Lord He will come or not, Qingqing doesn't know."
Duan Shaoqing glared at his niece with a cold and hard attitude, not to mention how much regret he had in his heart.
I knew that there was today, and before this girl and the surname He were hooked up, this trouble should have been solved!
Waiting until a large family gathered in Ruyi Hall for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Duan Shaoqing was relieved.
Because Xin Yu donated 50,000 taels to the Dingbei disaster area, the old lady looked at her granddaughter unpleasantly these days, until Xin Yu went to the banquet in the Lotus Garden, and the reward in the palace was sent to Shaoqing's Mansion.
"Why didn't Qingqing wear the golden hairpin given by the emperor?" The old lady asked with a smile.
Xin Yu smiled: "I plan to offer it up and become a family heirloom."
The old lady was stuck.
There is nothing wrong with this, but it sounds inexplicably harsh, as if it is not waiting to see something from the emperor.
It must have been her delusion.
After the reunion dinner, the old lady gave her grandchildren New Year's money.
New Year's money is mainly for auspicious celebrations in ordinary people's homes, most of them are copper coins strung with red ropes, and there are many kinds of rich and noble people.
In recent years, the old lady has given her grandchildren mascots made of gold, such as goldfish, golden peanuts, golden gourds, and round coins engraved with auspicious wishes.
Xin Yu and the others all got a plain noodle purse containing New Year's money, and thanked the old lady one after another.
Back at Wanqingju, Xin Yu opened his purse and poured it out, pouring out a pile of small gold.
"Girl, this year's New Year's money is more than before!" Xiaolian exclaimed.
The little girl's eyes had already opened, and it was not the gold that surprised her, but the old lady's actions.
Obviously, the girl and the old lady don't back down at all when they face each other, and often makes the old lady tremble, why does the old lady give the girl more money for the New Year?
Xin Yu This is the first New Year in Shaoqing's Mansion, and there is no way to compare the New Year's money, so he grabbed a handful and gave it to Xiaolian.
"Why does the girl give her maid money?"
"This is New Year's money, driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil."
When Xiaolian heard this, she happily accepted it.
Xin Yu simply asked Xiaolian to call all the people in Wanqingju and rewarded them alone.
Follow Xinyu
The frost in the bookstore is okay, and Mama Wang, who stayed in the evening sunny house, is simply crazy.
Different from the joy of Wanqingju, Duan Yunhua returned to the boudoir and opened his purse and looked cold.
It used to be gold, but this year it has been replaced by silver. She is obviously married to the son of Guchang Bo, and her grandmother still despises her because her mother is divorced?
Although Duan Yunling was surprised for a moment, he quickly counted them carefully.
She knew that she had offended her grandmother, and her father would not really plan for her, no matter how much money she had, it would be her confidence after accumulating it.
The fourth girl, Duan Yunyan, was still living in the same hospital with her parents, and when she saw the silverfish in her daughter's purse, Duan Wenbai asked Zhu after a break, "Have you been a little nervous at home lately?"
He is in charge of some of the family's properties, and this year's income is no worse than in previous years.
"It's okay, the public account is quite generous."
After being quiet for a long time, Zhu's voice sounded again: "It's hard to talk about the old lady's private account......
Duan Wenbai was also silent for a while, and sighed lightly: "Sleep, you have to be busy tomorrow."
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the lights of thousands of homes are always on, and the palace is also eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
If it is explained that New Year's Day is a feast celebrated by the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, tonight's palace banquet is a family banquet.
The concubines and concubines of the palace gathered in the Qianqing Palace with their children, and the Queen Mother also appeared. Also able to participate in this family banquet are the eldest princess of Zhaoyang and a pair of children, as well as King Xiu.
As for the other King Qing who is qualified to go to the banquet, he is still in Dingbei at this time.
There were delicacies on the table, but Emperor Xingyuan was a little absent-minded.
"The emperor is worried about Dingbei?" The Queen Mother asked.
Emperor Xingyuan came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly: "Yes...... It's the New Year, and I don't know if the people affected by the disaster have a place to live......
Actually, he wasn't bothered because of this.
He had a nightmare last night, in which Xinxin frowned at him, and he went to take her hand, but saw blood and tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
He woke up with a fright, and the whole day was full of headaches and restlessness.
The Queen Mother comforted: "Yi'er didn't go to Dingbei, she will definitely settle the people, you can rest assured." Come, eat the chicken legs."
In the blink of an eye, Emperor Xingyuan landed a big oily chicken leg in his bowl.
The corners of Emperor Xingyuan's eyes twitched, and he thanked the Empress Dowager dryly for her loving gaze: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, swept her eyes, and the other chicken leg fell into the bowl of King Xiu.
Although this child is not treated well by her son, he is her eldest grandson after all.
King Xiu hurriedly got up and thanked him, "Thank you, Grandmother."
"At the family banquet, don't be restrained."
King Xiu sat down, stared at the chicken legs, and had a different taste in his heart: it turned out that when the second brother was not there, his grandmother would give him the chicken legs during the New Year......
The eldest princess of Zhaoyang had a complicated look in her eyes.
I really didn't expect that the suffering suffered by the second prince in previous years made the eldest prince suffer this year.
Maybe it's because the taste developed in the early years is difficult to change, horses, cattle, sheep and deer, there are countless delicacies at the palace banquet, and the queen mother still thinks that roast chicken thighs are a good thing.
Originally, Chinese New Year's Eve ancestor worship and sacrifice various ceremonies tossed down, eat some soup water, refreshing side dishes, this kind of chicken thighs that have been cold at the time of the banquet taste, you can imagine.
Sensing her daughter's eyes, the Queen Mother said casually: "Tomorrow's chicken leg is for you."
Princess Zhaoyang: "......"
