The family background is barely equal, if you really want to distinguish a high and low, the aunt and grandmother of the Yan Guogong Mansion are the concubines, although the Yan Guogong is not very important in the court, but with the old Guogong and the Shen family's maiden Jing'an Hou Mansion, it is still a level higher than the family background of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

If this family business can be successful, Yan Mingyu can be regarded as a lower marriage, her mother's family is powerful, and her waist is hard after entering the door.

is not a widower, there is also a mother-in-law, but the Shen family is very considerate of Yan Mingyu.

The Shen family inquired about it, and Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis is a kind person, although there are many sons, they are all honest, and Liu Xiyuan has been set up as a son.

The most important thing is that Liu Xiyuan's homework is good, and Shen asked Yan Mingxuan that Liu Gongzi is a leader in the academy.

This man's family background is important, and his own virtue and ability are also important. The Shen family hopes that Yan Mingyu will find a husband who is self-motivated, so that he can live a good life without relying on his ancestors.

There is both prosperity and loss between husband and wife, Yan Guogong is worse, if he didn't have a good sister, the Shen family would not marry Yan Guogong.

After getting married, it is all kinds of trivial things, and there is always a day when the relationship is worn out, looking at the more beautiful concubines later, countless concubines and concubines, or they are the most important, of course, the mother must hope that Yan Mingyu will have a happy life as a husband and wife in the future.

Yan Mingyu opened her mouth, but she didn't say a word, she understood that the Shen family was not discussing with her, but informing her and telling her that she was going to go out with Liu Gongzi on the day of the Shangyuan Festival.

All of a sudden, Yan Mingyu's mind was in a mess, and the daily events of the more than five months she had been here had gone through in front of her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, Shen's crying swollen eyes, the beautiful stepping bed, Yan Guogong, the sons and girls in the house who came to see her, and later remembered Yan Mingqiao who went to school for her.

Yan Mingyu always felt that although in Yan Mingqiao's opinion, it was a good thing to come to the main courtyard, but she put the burden of the Guogong Mansion on her young sister.

She still has brothers and sisters who are not married, if she insists on not marrying, I am afraid that she will be sent to Zhuangzi, and then she will be told that she is seriously ill, so as not to affect the marriage of others.

Yan Mingyu didn't want to go to Zhuangzi even more.

Yan Mingyu came to this world, and she was really good to her with the Shen family and Yan Mingqiao, and of course Yan Mingxuan and the Ning family were also good to her.

The best plan that Shen can do is this, choose a son-in-law who she is satisfied with.

Yan Mingyu nodded blankly, took two breaths of relief and said, "Okay." ”

Although he was coerced by this era, Yan Mingyu did not eat or drink and became depressed.

First, I believe in the Shen family, if this Liu Gongzi is really bad, her mother will never let her marry her. Second, if pie really falls from the sky, this Liu Gongzi is different, and he just fell from the gold hole to the silver hole when he got married.

Moreover, isn't there more than half a month, considering the worst result, she still has a sister, Yan Mingyu doesn't believe that Yan Mingqiao will ignore her.

Shen was originally afraid that Yan Mingyu would be depressed, and nothing would happen to her after the New Year, but Yan Mingyu ate and drank as usual, and even slept for half an hour longer than usual, so she was relieved.

The first few days passed by in a hurry, and soon it was the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Yan Mingqiao thought about it yesterday, she wants to give herself one day off, no, two days, the New Year and the first day of the new year, she doesn't have to do her homework.

In fact, it is possible to write in time, but Yan Mingqiao doesn't think much about it.

She still remembers that on this day last year, she got up early in the morning to ask for peace, and then followed several sisters to greet the elders, and then the sisters went out, she played in the yard for a while, and then had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

At that time, she thought about whether she wanted to tell her mother about wanting to study, but everyone was very busy, so don't make a mess of this kind of day, Yan Mingqiao didn't say anything in the end.

This year is different.

When Yan Mingqiao woke up, the sky was still dark, and I don't know what time it was, there was a very light sound of firecrackers outside, because there was still a distance between the inner courtyard and the street, so the sound was not loud, but Yan Mingqiao still heard it.

It's like a pebble thrown in a basin of water, the sound is not loud, but it is very lively.

She rolled under the quilt and whispered, "Little mother, have a good New Year, wait until tomorrow, I will be seven years old." ”

Mother said that she had two mothers, and her deceased mother gave birth to her, and now her mother took her to read and write, and she is very good to her.

Mother said, don't forget the little lady.

Yan Mingqiao hid in the quilt and talked to the little lady for a while, and after a while, Mama Li came in with hot water.

After freshening up, change into new clothes that have been warmed and smoked with incense, dress up, and wait until the hour to greet the elders.

The maids of the Yanguo Mansion also woke up earlier than usual today, especially in the big kitchen, to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the New Year is a happy event, and everyone has a smile on their faces.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began to be prepared several days in advance, Shen Shi has seen the menu, there are many dishes that Yan Ming buckwheat loves to eat, and the maids and maids will also eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today, and the dishes are much more sumptuous than before.

In short, the more lively and joyful it is, the more it proves that the people of the Yanguo Mansion are prosperous.

In the Yue Dynasty, what to do on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve was nothing more than visiting the door to pay New Year's greetings, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and observing the New Year.

The younger generation wants to give the elders a New Year's greeting, and the elders naturally have to prepare for the New Year's money, which used to be called pressure, and there is hope that the juniors can grow up safely, although there are many children in the Yanguo Mansion, as long as they are born, they will survive, but there are still many children who died young.

Junior can also go to the neighbor's house to pay New Year's greetings, if nothing else, just a lively, Shen plans to let Yan Mingqiao Yan Mingyu go to the princess's mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and after the snow banquet, the eldest princess said that she often goes to play, but Yan Mingqiao has to go to class on weekdays, and she has to take care of the shop during the holidays, so it is difficult to find time, so this matter has been delayed.

Friendship is maintained by maintaining, not begging grandpa to sue grandma when something happens.

The others are all good friends with the Yanguo Mansion and are close to each other, so they should be lively and lively.

Early in the morning, the Ning family and the old Guogong gave a few children New Year's money, and when the main courtyard asked for peace, the Shen family and Yan Guogong also gave it, every child is the same, on the day of the New Year, if there is more or less, it will inevitably be unpleasant.

Shen is also wearing a good look today, the dark green jacket skirt is very spiritual, she said: "After today, I will be a year older, and I will accompany your grandmother more next year and listen to Mr. ”

Today, even Yan Mingyue was very obedient, and said together: "My daughter must remember her mother's teachings." ”

took the New Year's money, and Yan Mingqiao followed Yan Mingyu out to pay New Year's greetings.

Today doesn't seem to be as cold as yesterday, and Yan Mingqiao's face is red.

She counted them, and there were four red envelopes in total, and the grandmother gave them silver that was beaten into rabbits, one should be one or two, and there were two.

Lao Guogong gave silver peanuts, Yan Guogong gave silver pine nuts, anyway, they are all very cute, they look silver and shiny, very good-looking.

These New Year's money will not be moved when it doesn't matter, but Yan Mingqiao's previous years have been spent, and there are few monthly cases, no one makes up for it, so you naturally have to pay for what you want to eat.

Yan Mingqiao finally saw that it was given to her by the Shen family, and the red purse seemed to be a round piece inside, and she couldn't wait to open it and take a look.

What Shen gave was different from others, it was a piece of silver cake, with a blessing character on the front and a carved painting on the back.

Yan Mingxuan's is bamboo, and Yan Mingye's silver cake is engraved with cypress.

Yan Mingye said: "These are these again, why is there nothing new at all." ”

Yan Ming said in his heart, it's different.

It's the same as last year's, it's all two taels of silver, and the difference is that Yan Mingqiao only got a "bluegrass" last year.

Yan Mingqiao remembered the snow scene picture she gave to her mother a while ago, and the picture on it was a pine tree, and her mother told her at that time that if she was like a pine tree, she should be like its temperament.

Don't forget your heart, even if you endure it for a while, you won't change your original intention.

She reached out and touched the back of the silver cake, it was so beautiful.

Yan Mingqiao's name is not the same as other people's, like Yan Mingjing, Yan Mingyu, Yan Mingyue, it is easy to see the expectations of the elders.

Either I hope that my daughter will be quiet, or I hope that she will be as precious as jade, or she will be as bright as the bright moon.

But the word buckwheat, even if Mr. Fu explains it, he can tell the meaning of the herb, and Shen likes to give some tricks to the New Year's money, and everyone's is the same and different.

Last year's bluegrass was blue, this year's is pine.

It turned out that my mother could remember her for so long.

A small thing, Yan Mingqiao can be happy until the evening.

Yan Mingqiao put the New Year's money in her purse, "Second sister, let's buy sugar gourds by the way!" ”

She doesn't spend the New Year's money, she also has silver, and this time she will save it.

Yan Mingye was still thinking about the barbecue he ate last time, "If only I could go out to eat today." ”

It's just that the barbecue shop closed on the twenty-seventh and didn't open until the sixth day of the first month.

Yan Mingxuan: "You also have to adjust some, this time you are allowed to take a three-day vacation, and after returning to the Jing'an Hou Mansion in the second year of junior high school, you will take care of yourself and prepare well for the exam." ”

Yan Mingxuan said: "The third brother also has to take the exam in the spring, don't be too bad, and embarrass your mother when the time comes." ”

Yan Mingze's homework has always been good, Yan Mingxuan never thought that Yan Mingye could pass the exam, but don't be too far behind.

Yan Mingye: "I know, I know, just this little thing all day long, you can't talk about it in the second year of junior high school." ”

Yan Mingyu couldn't help but smile, Yan Mingqiao was a little curious, what was tested in the exam, could she pass the exam.

She thought of Shen Yuanjing again, and he said that he couldn't participate in the imperial examination, if he could......

Whoever said that if you can, you will definitely be able to pass the test.

The four brothers and sisters got into the carriage, and this time they went to the princess's mansion first.

It stands to reason that the girls who are also from the Yanguo Mansion should also take Yan Mingyue and them there, but they went to the Princess's Mansion because Yan Mingqiao liked the eldest princess, and besides, it seemed rude for a group of people to go over.

Therefore, even if Meng Xiaoniang wants to get a piece of the pie, there is no way.

The Chinese New Year is a festive event, Meng Xiaoniang is happy today, temporarily put aside the little things she had planned in the past, and also prepared new clothes for her children to pay New Year's money, and also let Yan Mingyue go to a friend's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Although Yan Mingyue has not participated in several banquets, she also knows a lot of young ladies, so she naturally has good friends.

For those friends, Yan Mingyue naturally does not have the same attitude as Shen Yuanjing, in front of outsiders, Yan Mingyue is an outstanding concubine of the Yanguo Mansion, Yan Mingqiao has been to the main courtyard for a short time, she has been to a snow banquet once, naturally not as good as Yan Mingyue, when Yan Mingyu has not fallen into the water before, she has been there a few times.

It's just that now the one that follows has been replaced by Yan Mingqiao.

Yan Mingyue was indeed unhappy, but today for the New Year, she didn't want to worry about this.

The sound of firecrackers on the street is one after another, and the people are full of excitement, but there are many fewer vendors, but butcher shops, grocery stores, and dim sum shops are all open, and there are those selling sugar gourds on the street, but those who sell xiaolongbao have gone home for the New Year.

Yan Mingqiao followed her brothers and sisters to the princess's mansion, Yan Mingxuan Yan Mingye and the eldest princess had no friendship, they waited in the carriage for a while.

The New Year's greetings can't be delayed for long, the eldest princess hasn't seen Yan Mingqiao for a long time, and the affection in her heart has faded a little, but Yan Mingqiao is wearing a festive today, a red new jacket, and the cuffs and neckline are decorated with snow-white rabbit hair, and they haven't seen each other for more than two months, and the etiquette is better than before, and the two sisters are very comfortable to sit together.

There is a palace banquet tonight, and the eldest princess has to enter the palace, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so she gave two people a palace-like velvet flower each, so that the maid sent the two out.

The eldest princess only has one daughter, Chen Jiayuan, otherwise she would marry a girl from the Yan family no matter what.

The eldest princess is about to enter the palace in the afternoon, and she has a closer relationship with Concubine Yan, so she is willing to take care of the girls in the Yanguo Mansion.

After the year, the two girls of the Yan family were going to enter the palace to show the concubine, and the Ning family brought people into the palace.

After seeing Concubine Yan, she wanted to remember Yan Mingqiao as her daughter-in-law, and she was a sister-in-law from now on.

Chapter 25: Growing Taller

The Shen family has been preparing for this, including the clothes and jewelry that Yan Mingqiao will wear that day.

However, Shen has not yet told Yan Mingqiao, firstly, in her opinion, adding a name is just a matter of paper, Mingqiao is her daughter, and secondly, there is no cumbersome etiquette, enter the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and Shen himself will drink a cup of Yanming buckwheat's tea, The last reason, things that have not yet been implemented, do not say it outside, it is to save extraneous branches.

This can be regarded as a happy event, and when the time comes, we will have a meal together in the house, and it will be lively.

In the evening, Yan Guogong and Shen Shi will go to the palace to attend the palace banquet, and then return to the palace after the end, and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

Yan Mingqiao eats a lot at noon, In the past few days of the New Year, there are snacks and tea, dried fruit candy cubes, and meals in the kitchen, Yan Mingqiao is not hungry, she is sleepy.
