Chapter 999 New Year

It's a new year again, counting the days, this is the second New Year that Shangguan Qiuyu has come to this world to spend.

Unlike last year's lively and leisurely in Yucheng, this year's New Year, Shangguan Xiong, the Duke of Zhenguo, did not rush to Blood Domain City in time to reunite with Shangguan Qiuyu and others.

The Southeast Army Corps and the newly formed Southern Xinjiang Naval Division have newly entered southern Xinjiang, and the morale of the army has not yet been completely stabilized for the time being.

This year, in order to stabilize the homesickness of the soldiers, Shangguan Xiong, the prince of Zhenguo, had no choice but to stay in the army to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers.

Because of the many things in Xueyu City, the flavor of the New Year is not as strong as I thought, and all the civil and military retainers have not been allowed to take a holiday, and they are still busy with the work at hand today.

In previous years, the low-level soldiers who could return home on vacation one by one, this year's holiday was postponed indefinitely, and they were stationed in the barracks and could not go back to accompany their families for the New Year.

'Thinking of your relatives during the festive season'

In his previous life, Shangguan Qiuyu was an orphan, and at the same time, because he lived in a big city, he didn't have much feeling about New Year's and other festivals.

After all, there were too many things forbidden in the city in the previous life, which made people feel a little less of the atmosphere of the New Year.

In the city, the sound of firecrackers rang out, one after another, endlessly, and the ears of the noisy people couldn't help buzzing.

The hectic busyness of the City Lord's Mansion did not affect the joy of the people of the city to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Many people in the city have sons and husbands in the army, and they can't return home at this moment to celebrate the New Year together, which makes many families feel a little regretful, but there are not too many other complaints.

As early as two or three days before the New Year, the Guogong Mansion issued a full five times the monthly salary to each soldier to compensate for the failure of the soldiers to return home for the New Year.

Nearly half a year's military salaries were sent to the families of those sergeants and soldiers, which made many families in the city feel particularly comfortable in this New Year.

Inside and outside the city, at the moment when the night fell, there was laughter and laughter everywhere, and it was endless.

Many displaced people stranded outside Xueyu City also enjoyed the taste of the New Year on this day.

Although the Guogong Mansion can't guarantee that they will have a lot of fish and meat, it is still possible to let them eat a full stomach today.

In the Guogong Mansion, the lights are bright, and there is joy everywhere.

In the backyard, Nangong Shiluo was sorting out the clothes of Shangguan Qiuyu, who had just finished washing, looking up and down, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

Looking at Nangong Shiluo, who was as intimate as a little daughter-in-law, Shangguan Qiuyu smiled:

"How's it going?

Stretching out his hand to brush the hair on his shoulders for Shangguan Qiuyu, Nangong Shiluo smiled sweetly, and couldn't help but make a small report from Xiao Ling'er.

"It's all ready, everyone is waiting for you, the young general, to start the banquet, Xiao Ling'er's girl has been complaining that she has been waiting for you for too long, and she is sulking in front of a pile of meat slices. ”

"Okay, let's get out of here, don't make everyone wait. Shangguan Qiuyu said.

At this time, the night was already completely dark, and the reunion dinner of all families in the city was afraid that it had come to an end.

He didn't mean to delay, but all the soldiers in the city, as well as the displaced people outside the city, needed him to go to appease and accompany him.

After all, whether it is a sergeant in the army or a homeless person who has left their hometowns, when the New Year comes, they will not be able to return home, and the psychological feeling can be imagined.

He, a major general, can't do much for everyone, but it's still necessary to go and see it in person.

Therefore, unconsciously, the time to come back was delayed.

In this regard, the people in the house did not complain, and even if they did, they did not dare.

During the banquet, Feng Yun'er was arranged to sit at the same table with Nangong Shiluo and Qi Yan'er, as well as Xiao Ling'er and the four girls with red sleeves.

There was an empty seat between Nangong Shiluo and Qi Yan'er, which was obviously specially reserved for Shangguan Qiuyu.

After Shangguan Qiuyu appeared, a group of housekeepers and subordinates stepped forward one by one to greet the New Year.

After Shangguan Qiuyu finished saying a few New Year's greetings, Xiao Li'er walked towards him with more than a dozen maids and a silver plate in their hands.

On the silver plate, there are big red bags.

After greeting Shangguan Qiuyu, the people in charge showed a smile on their faces, and each of them felt that after picking up a red envelope, they would automatically return to the table, and they would not bother their major general.

Shangguan Qiuyu, who finally pulled away, came to the table of the five women of Nangong Shiluo with a crying and laughing face.

Last year in Yucheng, because he had his own cheap grandfather, during the New Year, he did not have these troubles except for eating and drinking with everyone.

Fortunately, now he has Nangong Shiluo behind him, otherwise he might really be blind.

Before Shangguan Qiuyu could sit down and take a breath, Xiao Ling'er on the opposite side immediately stretched out his hand, blinked and said:

"New Year's fortune, bring the red envelope, senior brother, where is my New Year's gift?"

When the other four heard Xiao Ling'er's words, they couldn't help but look at Shangguan Qiuyu, although they didn't stretch out their hands, but the eyes of the crowd told him, "Where is our New Year's gift?"

Seeing Shangguan Qiuyu stunned on the spot with an embarrassed face, Xiao Ling'er said with a stunned face:

"You didn't have a New Year's gift for us, did you?"

There is a way to see the excitement is not a big deal, Xiao Ling'er saw that he didn't speak, so he added a fire to it, obviously with a hint of sowing discord:

"Even if Sister Red Sleeves and I don't have it, what about Sister Nangong and Sister Yan'er? Don't tell me, you didn't even prepare their gifts, if you didn't say anything. ”

Seeing that Xiao Ling'er deliberately found fault, in the blink of an eye, she saw a trace of disappointment flashing in the eyes of Nangong Shiluo and Qi Yan'er, and Shangguan Qiuyu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Ahem" Seeing that Xiao Ling'er was about to speak, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help coughing, so as to warn Xiao Ling'er to stop.

Seeing that Xiao Ling'er deliberately found Shangguan Qiuyu uncomfortable, Nangong Shiluo had no choice but to interrupt and relieve her sweetheart.

"Xiao Ling'er, don't talk about it, Brother Yu is so busy every day, where is there time to think about this, don't make trouble.

Aren't you hungry? Now that Brother Yu is here, you can quickly scald something to eat. I'll help you plate your favorite beef. ”

Seeing Nangong Shiluo interrupting herself, Xiao Ling'er glanced at the beef in the pot and muttered in a low voice:

"What is not free, when I was on the boat, I still saw him and"

"Ahem..."

Shangguan Qiuyu, who was already a little disgraced, heard that Xiao Ling'er was about to mention that he and Xiao Yu were bumping into her when they were having fun on the boat, and hurriedly coughed again to interrupt what he had not finished speaking.

Although Xiao Ling'er's muttering voice was small, it was heard clearly by everyone, and even Nangong Shiluo, who originally brushed beef for Xiao Ling'er, couldn't help but slack off when he heard the movements in his hands.

glanced at Feng Yun'er, who had not spoken much to anyone, and then continued the movements in his hands.

On the one hand, as an outsider, Red Sleeves couldn't help but light up when he heard this almost exciting news.

The ears were straight, and he couldn't help but secretly look at Feng Yun'er beside him, urging Xiao Ling'er to continue talking.
