Lian Yanyu knew what Lian Mu meant, but she didn't dare to say anything. Now that Lian Ruqi has brought glory to the family, Lian's father will definitely turn to Lian Ruqi and the others. He is really asking for boredom by arguing about the right and wrong at this time.
After the palace people sent her away, Lian's mother also became energetic and told her servants that during the Chinese New Year this year, the next person would be rewarded with a month's worth of extra money. Moreover, Lian's mother would take all of it from her own small treasury.
The whole house was filled with joy, and there were more red lanterns than in previous years.
Lian Mu personally walked around the yard again, looking for anything that needed rectification, and asked the people below to rectify it quickly.
Mrs. Zhou has been supervising Lian Jinghan for the past two days, and now she can open up and play. The children are naturally running around the yard, and the sound of firecrackers keeps coming. An Hongshao doesn't feel bored anymore and becomes more interested. There are also two whips placed in my yard.
Lian Ru came back from lunch as expected. He went to greet his father and mother first, and then returned to his courtyard.
In the yard, An Hongshao took a long stick of incense and lit it by himself without the help of the people below. He quickly threw away the incense and ran under the eaves, covering his ears.
When Lian came back as scheduled, he came in with the sound of thunder and banging fireworks. He stood in the bright bustle, wearing a long official uniform, a young man with great ambition and high spirits.
An Hongshao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw the person. She felt aggrieved for some reason, and did not move forward. She just looked at him and curled her lips forward little by little.
After the firecrackers were fired, Lian Ruqi entered the door, "I'm back." Lian Ruqi tapped the tip of An Hongshaorong's red nose, took An Hongshaorong's cold hand, and pushed open the door behind him.
"If you like to watch, I'll let you go." He picked up the cloak behind the door and put it on An Hongshao.
An Hongshao didn't move, tugged on Lian Ruqi's sleeves, and pointed at his clothes, "This is the official uniform of Zhengsanpin, right? It's better to let the people below do the firecrackers. You go and change first." Official uniform."
"Don't believe me?" Lian Ruqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, picked up a corner of his clothes and pinned it to his waist. Striding out, the brand-new court uniform became more and more majestic on his body.
The people below were also discerning and brought some from the public.
Lian lit the firecrackers as scheduled. Unlike An Hongshao, who was in a panic, he slowly took three steps back after lighting the firecrackers. After just three steps, he stopped still and watched the firecrackers crackle in front of him.
There was a lot of movement in the second room, attracting even Jing Han.
But it is true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and a little girl is not brave enough to be bold. When she saw her second uncle dared to light firecrackers, she had to make a fuss and light them.
Lian Ruzhi couldn't really let the child order as scheduled, so he could only carry the child while he ordered and coaxed him.
Seeing that the two masters were having fun, the man in charge immediately sent someone to buy back the remaining firecrackers in the capital. Don’t you love it? The host is happy and can order whatever he wants.
Mrs. Zhou saw Lian Jinghan getting happier and happier as she played. She was afraid that Lian would be exhausted as scheduled. She was about to persuade the child to come down, but was stopped by Lian Ruxin, "It is a happy time for his second uncle to get promoted and make a fortune. People have been on tenterhooks for so many days, so it’s time to let him do something.”
As an elder brother, he would only cheat his second brother once.
Even Ruxin made the decision, so Zhou left it to him.
Don't look at the crazy play, but Lian Ruzhi is careful and protects the child well so that nothing happens.
Mrs. Zhou wanted to do her own business, but turned around and saw An Hongshao standing under the eaves, so she walked over and called An Hongshao to come with her.
Lian Ruqi had been looking at An Hongshao from the corner of his eyes, thinking about taking the time to quickly return Xiaojing's letter to his brother and sister-in-law. He didn't expect that they had no intention of picking up the child, so forget it, now he still wanted to return An Hongshao. take away.
Lian Ruqi was anxious and wanted to pursue him.
"Second uncle, second uncle, I'm still playing, I'm still playing." Jing Han was well-educated and would not be so rude normally.
But after all, he is a child, and when he is excited about playing, he has long forgotten what adults taught him.
Now that he was anxious and not afraid of falling, Lian Ruqi's shoulders started to become noisy.
Even as he hurriedly coaxed the child as planned, he didn't even think about throwing his niece away just to have more affection with An Hongshao during the Chinese New Year.
The women have nothing to do. They will open an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and burn paper, gold and silver tomorrow morning. These are all made by women.
The people below are all very busy. Most of the time, the Zhou family and others will share some gold and silver as a filial piety to their ancestors.
The An family can also do it. An Hongshao is very good at these things and has nimble hands. She can fold two of Zhou's pieces before she can fold one. Zhou said while folding, "My brothers and sisters are so beautiful and deft."
"Sister-in-law is always teasing me." An Hongshao kept her hands moving as she spoke.
The afternoon went by very quickly, talking and laughing, and after waiting for everything to be folded, it was almost time for the New Year's Eve dinner. Miss Zhou was thinking about Jing Han, so she washed her hands and went out.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lian's mother whispered from the side, "Solid-eyed child."
But it's hard to say anything else. It seems like she is messing with the sisters-in-law.
An Hongshao's hands were covered with gold and silver powder. Because she folded the most, didn't she also get the most?
I washed my hands three times with water before washing everything on my hands.
Lian's mother took the gel lotion from the back room and gave it to An Hongshao, "I usually put this on after washing my hands. It's very good for my hands."
"Thank you, mother." An Hongshao quickly took it with both hands.
Even her mother was very particular. She didn't give An Hongshao the leftovers, but gave An Hongshao a small bottle of new ones.
In fact, An Hongshao also discovered later that Zhou's hand stopped as soon as he spoke. The masters did this job to pass the time.
Only An Hongshao really regarded this matter as a task that must be completed.
When she was at Anjia, in addition to stacking gold and silver, she also made dumplings with the people below. If you move slowly, you won't be able to sleep today.
It's just that we are all human. Even if we practice hand speed, we will still feel tired. Even my shoulders are sore now.
She held the small porcelain bottle in her hand, thinking about what to give her mother next time.
Although there is no need to care about what my mother-in-law gave me. But when you get married, it's the Lian family's responsibility to take. After you get married, you can't always ask for Lian's mother's things.
Tit for tat.
For this year's New Year's Eve dinner, Lian's mother made a temporary arrangement. Although there was only one family, they still used flowing banquets. The dishes were so dazzling that An Hongshao couldn't even remember how many dishes there were.
Most aristocratic families are very particular about not eating too much of one dish, but now I feel full after just one bite of one dish.
When they came to the Hou Tou Palace to give vegetables, no one could eat anymore. Zhou gave Jing Han some vegetable soup with her chopsticks and let Jing Han taste it. It was considered auspicious for the Chinese New Year.
The chopsticks were put down and fireworks exploded everywhere.
This year, fireworks were set off in every yard of the house.
