239 Chinese New Year's Eve
In the past, Mrs. Su would always send some food or something to the Lu family from time to time, and for the poor Lu family, it could make life better.
It's just that after the relationship between the two families was stiff last time, the Su family didn't send anything anymore.
In the past few days, Lu Mu has also figured it out.
Before Lu Xiubai could gain a foothold in the capital, without the Su family, they were nothing.
Mother Lu looked at the weight loss a lot, and said with a wry smile: "Auntie, are you still complaining about me?" ”
"Nope." Old Madam Su replied without thinking, because it was too fast, but it made people feel perfunctory.
Lu Mu's eyes were red, and she seemed to be playing the emotional card.
Shen Yunjiao turned to Ping's mother and said, "Mom, today is a good day." You go and tell the maids who can't go home for Chinese New Year's Eve because they are on duty, and when they are done, they can go home. But don't see tears, bad luck! ”
Ping's mother smiled secretly, "The old slave knows." ”
Old Madam Su also looked at Shen Yunjiao with a smile, what a little petty ghost.
Lu Mu was stunned, and the tears were quickly put back.
Mrs. Su looked at Mother Lu and read on Lu Xiubai's face, she always wanted to give Mother Lu a few thin noodles.
"Well, since you're here, let's spend Chinese New Year's Eve together."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Shen Yunjiao casually found an excuse to go out, and when she walked outside the house, she exhaled heavily.
Shichun grimaced, "That Mrs. Lu is here, and the slave maid always feels uncomfortable. ”
Shen Yunjiao smiled: "She's not your master, she can't control you, what are you afraid of?" ”
Shichun grinned: "But she can take care of the girl, the girl is uncomfortable, and the girl is not comfortable." ”
"Okay, you open your little grease mouth."
The two of them walked up to the verandah.
Seeing that there was no one around, Shichun asked quietly: "Girl, Shichun is clamoring to see her sister over there." said that it was the New Year, and begged the girl to be kind and let them meet. ”
Shen Yunjiao frowned.
Let's not say that the poet's sister is no longer in the capital, let's just say that the poet doesn't know what his identity is? Dare to make a request?
It's probably this period of time that makes poetry too comfortable.
Shen Yunjiao said lightly: "Don't pay attention to her, let her go." If she feels too comfortable, just keep her breath and do whatever you want. ”
Shichun smiled: "The slave understands. ”

In the evening, it was the Su family's family banquet.
In the flower hall, in addition to the Su family, some relatives from the side branch also came.
Because it is a family banquet, although men and women are seated separately, there is no need to use a screen in the middle.
Shen Yunjiao is not a member of the Su family, although with Mrs. Su's favor for her, she can have a place at the Su family's family banquet.
But she didn't want to go, so she didn't want to cause some trouble for herself.
So at this time, she was in Pingkang Temple.
A table of dishes was prepared in Pingkang Courtyard, and the mothers of several close maids on weekdays accompanied Shen Yunjiao to have a lively time.
Shen Yunjiao leaned on Qingyu and watched them toast Cuiye.
Cuiye plays a small martial arts, and her temperament is more bold.
"Drink it, if I don't drink it, I'm afraid you will underestimate me!" With that, she took the bowl and threw her head up and drank.
The crowd stared at her with bated breath.
After a few sips, Cuiye put down the bowl heavily, and the wine in it was drunk cleanly.
Shichun teased: "Okay, the amount of wine is not small, do you dare to have another bowl!" ”
"Of course you can, but you have to drink a bowl before I drink it!"
Shen Yunjiao smiled and watched them playing, she suddenly thought of something, and asked Qingyu, "Why didn't Miss Ji come?" ”
Qingyu replied: "The slave maid went to invite, but Miss Ji refused to come." ”
"Forget it."
Ji Huixin was guarding in the small kitchen, and the cooks went out after they were done.
She stayed here and boiled a pot of hot water just in case.
It's just that I have been guarding for a long time, and no one has come.
When she saw that the water in the pot was boiling, and whoever needed hot water could just take it, she put on her cloak and went out.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the people who did not go home were at the flower hall.
Ji Huixin walked all the way, but she didn't find anyone else.
Finally, she sat down on a large rock in the garden, looked up at the moon, and before she knew it, two lines of hot tears rolled down her face.
If Wan Liangtao hadn't had an accident, they would have been married, and now they are a newlywed couple with Hemeimei.
Thinking so pretentiously that she didn't even notice the people who were slowly approaching.
"Miss Ji?"
Ji Hui was shocked, turned her head to look, and saw Su Qin at a glance.
Su Qin was standing not far away, looking at her with surprise and joy.
Su Qin thought that he had drunk too much wine and hallucinated, "Miss Ji, is it really you?" How did you end up here? ”
Ji Huixin glanced at him with a complicated expression, pursed her lips tightly, turned around and ran away.
Su Qin hurriedly chased after him.
Just turned a corner, and the figure was gone.
He stopped and couldn't help muttering, "Is it really me who is dazzled?" ”
"You kid, it's here," Su Yi walked over and grabbed Su Qin's shoulder, "Let's go, let's continue drinking!" ”
Su Qin had no choice but to go back with Su Yi.
Ji Huixin didn't dare to stop until he ran into Pingkang Courtyard.
She ran out of breath and in shock.
If Su Qin pestered her again, then she would definitely not be able to stay any longer.
The errand she managed to find is also going to be yellow.
She drooped the corners of her mouth and slowly walked inside.
Cuiye, who had drunk too much wine and came out to breathe, suddenly saw the sneaky figure at the base of the wall, and immediately shouted: "Who's there!" ”
Ji Huixin was startled, and just wanted to walk over, but found that someone walked out behind him.
"It's me, Miss Cuiye doesn't even know me?" Suzushuang walked out, "I'm here to bring food to my cousin." ”
Cuiye sighed, "Then you can go in with me." ”
"There's Miss Laureate."
Seeing Lingshuang and Cuiye enter the house, Ji Hui sighed silently and went to the small kitchen.
In the flower hall, the family banquet is coming to an end.
Su Lanxin looked at Second Mrs. Su and was very distressed.
At the beginning of the banquet, Second Mrs. Su had to serve the dishes, and finally sat down to rest.
Second Mrs. Su's illness is not yet complete, and her face is very ugly at the moment.
Su Lanxin whispered, "Mother, why don't we go back first." ”
Mrs. Su looked over, and her voice was neither light nor heavy: "Brother and sister, if you are not feeling well, go back quickly." ...... in your home Alas, we can all understand that. ”
Listening to Mrs. Su's fake tone, Second Mrs. Su was not angry at all, she really didn't have the strength to be angry anymore.
The affairs of the Luo family were like a basin of cold water, which extinguished her spirit.
Old Madam Su stood up with the maid's arm in her arms, "My wife is tired, so I'll go back first." You continue to eat and drink. ”
