Aunt Feng and Aunt Qiu all laughed tacitly, and Aunt Qiu said, "Grandma is still thoughtful and thoughtful, so that nothing goes wrong. Let's just wait and see how surprised Sister Xin looks."

Aunt Feng also nodded and smiled: "If Sister Xin is sensible, she should come over and kowtow to grandma in the future, thank you for your fulfillment."

Liao imagined Xin Nian's gaffe when she saw this person, and she felt very happy in her heart, but she said falsely, "My sister, what do I want her to kowtow to?" I'll be thankful that she'll not go against me less in the future."

"What is she a concubine, and she used a little trick to capture the old man, thinking that she could capture the heart of the prince? Tell me to dream. After seeing the year, is the prince still willing to take care of her? At that time, she didn't know how to advance or retreat, and she didn't need grandma to make a move, so Sister Qiu and I cleaned her up."

Aunt Feng held her chest up, quite a bit of pride. Liao glanced at her, the smile on his lips deepened, and he nodded, "Okay, I also hope that she will keep her duties in the future." This person, he just can't force it, he is destined to be lowly in his life, so he will be trampled into the mud obediently, why should he keep that heart and be arrogant? It's just going to make you miserable."

Aunt Feng and Aunt Qiu were all eyes shining, thinking that after Xin Nian fell out of favor, she could trample her under her feet and trample on her fiercely, and she was also happy for a while, and she was busy echoing: "Grandma is right, people have to accept their fate, and their status is low, so they should look up to the strong and snort and be trampled on obediently."

When the words fell, the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Du Sanniang does have the ability, after Laba, the kitchen is the busiest day of the year, it is difficult for her to arrange it properly, and she goes out to buy so many ingredients sent from Zhuangzi, and they are also in order."

"Not really. The slave and maid carefully checked the accounts, and there was not even a deficit, if this was the past, how dare you think about it?"

Xin Nian smiled slightly, pulled her hand out of the fox fur sleeve, gently stroked a plum tree on the side of the road, and said in a deep voice: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, there are so many people in the kitchen, dragons and snakes are mixed, it is impossible not to have a little deficit, but it can be done so that you can't find out, this is her intention."

After finishing speaking, his fingers touched a plum blossom, bounced off the snow on it, walked a few steps away, and watched it carefully for a while, Fang smiled: "The plum blossom is still the most beautiful state of sparseness, so many hundred-year-old trees in the plum garden, although the thick branches are knotted, and the posture is different, but the flowers bloom ten thousand, like clouds and clouds, but lose a bit of artistic conception. It's better to have this one, which blooms on the side of the road at will, stretches freely, and sparsely sloping branches, and on closer inspection, the beauty of the attitude is unsurpassed."

"It's still an aunt who is both civil and military, and the slave can't see it."

Xinghua laughed while stepping forward to take a closer look, and suddenly heard a burst of music in the wind, and there seemed to be a looming singing voice, she couldn't help but wonder: "This year has not passed, whose family has already sung the opera?"

Xin Nian also turned his head to look in the direction where the vocal music was coming from, listened carefully for a moment, and then smiled, "This is our family."

"Our family?" Xinghua was surprised: "But it is less than a year since the death of the old prince, even if it is the New Year, it is okay to eat and drink family banquets, but it is not okay to sing."

Xin Nian glanced at Xinghua: "According to the rules, this is indeed the case, but you forgot that the ancestor is not successful? There is no reason for parents to keep filial piety for their children, so you can still listen to a few plays, just choose a few elegant songs of the play, and don't think about the lively play."

"I see." Xinghua suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "This is probably the team invited to rehearse. Speaking of which, other palaces have their own troupes and kabuki, but we don't have them."

Xin Nian stepped forward, and said lightly: "I heard that Aunt Qin was the dancer in the palace before, and after being accepted by the old prince, the opera troupe and singing and dancing troupe in the mansion were dismissed within two years."

Xinghua smiled and whispered in Xin Nian's ear: "Our concubine pretends to be virtuous and generous on weekdays, but in fact, she is a vinegar jar."

Xin Nian frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: "If it's just jealousy, I'm afraid I'm afraid that my heart will be too narrow-minded and vicious to tolerate people."

Xinghua nodded slightly: Thinking that the concubine and the Liao family are from the same family, they have a close relationship, although their own master has a king

Lord is pampered, but there is no help in the backyard, an ancient aunt who has long fallen out of favor, it is good not to hold back, how can she help? Because he sighed, he also became sullen.

After the childhood, Gu Changting returned home with a few boys, and there was a lot of laughter and laughter in the house.

When these pampered young masters came back from the barracks, some were excited, some complained, and they chatted non-stop in front of the old lady, Concubine Liao and several female dependents, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and joyful.

The old man likes to talk and laugh around his children and grandchildren, but the adults can't take care of it, they are all busy, it is the neglected Aunt Gu, because she hugs Xin Nian's thighs, and she is also helping in the town day, although she is tired, but look at the rich things in her yard, and then think about the faces of people who are respectful a lot, Aunt Gu is happy in her heart, and she smiles every day.

Finally came Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night, after the reunion dinner, the whole family came to the back building of Yin'an Palace, at that time a high stage had been set up in the building, the old lady and Concubine Liao were seated in the middle, Gu Changting sat beside them, next to him was Liao, and several aunts sat in the back row with their respective children.

Hearing the gongs and drums, the old lady turned back to Xin Nian and smiled, "Let Liuzai and Yaya come and sit here with me, with them with me, it's lively."

Xin Nian hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, don't just think about the excitement, these two leather monkeys, where can they sit? I didn't delay my ancestors from listening to the play."

The old lady smiled, "I haven't heard any plays? Tonight is just a scene, call them over, our grandparents and grandchildren talk, and it will be more lively."

Xin Nian smiled: "Okay, it's rare that the ancestor is considerate of me, so that I can watch the play quietly."

After speaking, I heard Liao's smile and said, "Ancestor, don't just care about Sister Xin, you also hurt me, I also want to watch the play quietly."

The old lady glanced at her and said with a smile, "Your aunt is by her side, and she came to me?"

Concubine Liao hurriedly smiled: "It's all the ancestors who spoil them every day, and they have to inch in one by one. That's it, just let Yujiang Yufan come to my side, and I'll watch for you."

After speaking, I heard Xin Nian say again: "The children like to watch plays, and they can see clearly around the ancestor and the concubine, so they told me that it is better to let a few young masters and girls go to the front, the old ancestor and the concubine can't take care of it, and there is also the prince."
