Qingyang City is filled with joy.
Amidst the intermittent sound of firecrackers, bits of red paper exploded, mixed with the white snow, flying together.
The Xiaowei River passes through the city, and beautiful music comes from the flower boats, accompanied by fireworks blooming in the sky.
Wutong Lane, Zhongfu.
The whole family gathered together, laughing and drinking together.
The maid Xiaohuan specially learned a dance with the little sisters and danced in the falling snow.
The red sleeves are fluttering, as graceful as a startled dragon.
The smiling brows and eyes that looked over at Yu while he was spinning made Zhong Yan lose his mind for a moment. He put the rim of the cup to his lips and even forgot to drink.
She usually wears the clothes of a servant, doesn't wear any makeup, is cramped and careful, and her natural appearance is enough to make people stunning.
At this moment, she put on a silk skirt, her hair was like a waterfall, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her smile was even more beautiful.
This is definitely the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, bar none.
He still remembered the scene when Xiaohuan entered the house. He was as skinny as a stick, with dry hair, and was shivering in tatters, as if he would fall down if the wind blew.
Now, less than sixteen years old, she has already reached such a graceful and graceful state that she is like a fairy descending to the earth. Even words such as "overwhelming country and beautiful city, sinking fish and falling geese" seem pale and feeble.
Two more years.
The best in the world!
Even the legendary goddesses and saints from the fairy world can't compare.
Although she was a maid in the mansion and could pick whatever she wanted, Zhong Yan couldn't bear the slightest blasphemy. She could only sincerely appreciate beautiful things and marvel at the uncanny workmanship of the Creator.
After the dance, six people stood in a row, bowed their bodies, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to Master and Madam for a prosperous New Year! May the Zhong family continue to be prosperous for generations to come!"
"Gu~"
After taking a sip of wine and clapping the glass on the table, Zhong Yan was the first to applaud: "Okay! Everyone will be rewarded!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The six people stood up immediately, shaking their bodies and ran away to change clothes.
Jiang Ping, who saw her husband's demeanor, pursed her lips and smiled, leaned close to his ear and asked softly: "Husband, who is more beautiful, Ping'er or Xiaohuan?"
"Aren't you asking for self-humiliation!" Zhong Yan said amusedly, "If you look like this, you will bring disaster to the country and the people."
Jiang Ping blinked and said with a smile: "Then don't let her go out. When I bought her, I saw that she was a beautiful woman, and I never wanted to keep it long. It made my heart beat with fear, and I couldn't even feel the slightest bit of jealousy. …”
"Husband, eldest sister, what are you muttering about?"
Xia He stood up holding the wine glass, put his left hand on his hips and said with a bold smile: "Let's have a drink together, Happy New Year!"
"good!"
Zhong Yan picked up the wine glass: "Let's all come together and have a happy New Year!"
Food and wine.
Push the cup to change the cup.
Until late at night.
Jiang Ping distributed red envelopes to her concubines and servants one by one, then dismissed them and left with their children.
There were only seven wives and concubines left.
Xia He, the most daring and shameless person, seemed to be a little drunk. His body swayed and his eyes were blurred. He said directly with a blushing face: "Husband, it's Chinese New Year. Which room should I sleep in tonight? Or should we come together?"
It made all the girls smile.
They are already in love as usual, and no one is as shy as before and finds it difficult to talk about such things.
Yan Sandao also echoed, "Yes, husband!"
Zhong Yan glanced at Chunyu and said, "You're pregnant, so it's not your part to be here together."
Xia He said confidently: "I'm pregnant, He'er, I still have two other mouths!"
Oh My God!
Zhong Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly. This woman was so ready to imitate the idiom of his previous life on Earth.
The other concubines felt ashamed and excited. They were all dumbfounded and their eyes wandered, secretly sighing at the bravery of the fourth sister.
Jiang Ping felt like she couldn't keep it on her face, "Fourth sister, you've drunk too much. We'll talk about this later when we get back to the room."
Zhong Yan was about to speak when he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the storage bag. He swept away his consciousness and raised his sword eyebrows slightly.
Just as he was about to withdraw his consciousness, another communication talisman appeared and fluctuated. Hearing the message made Jian Mei frown.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and Jiang Ping asked, "What's the matter, husband?"
Zhong Yan pondered for a moment, then looked around and said, "Let's all go back and rest. We'll talk about it another day."
A group of wives and concubines looked at each other. Jiang Ping stood up and said, "Master has something to do. Everyone should go back to the room. Qiuxiang, support Xia He."
"Yes, eldest sister!"
"Good night, sir!"
Jiang Ping, who finally left, looked at her husband's face and did not ask any more questions.
When it comes to understanding Zhong Yan, no one in the Zhong family knows her husband's intentions better than her.
At this moment, it can be seen that although the other party is not in the mood for male and female love, he does not look like something serious has happened.
If you are willing to speak, you will be able to speak.
Return to the bedroom.
Xiaohuan came up to him, a little surprised, "Why is Madam back?"
Jiang Ping looked inside.
Xiaohuan smiled and said: "We have all fallen asleep. After taking a sip of the spirit wine, Master Xing slept soundly!"
Jiang Ping nodded slightly, sat on the chair, looked at Xiaohuan's face, and said with a half-smile: "You look so beautiful in that skirt at night, I was stunned."
"Madam Mingjian!"
Xiao Huan's expression changed, and she immediately knelt down in front of her and said urgently: "Madam, please listen to the slave's explanation. When the Fourth Madam taught the slaves how to dance, she repeatedly emphasized that dancing posture is secondary, eyes and smiles are the key, and they need to be devoted and involved. The audience communicates, so the slave often looks at the master!
This slave has absolutely no small thoughts, no, no... intention to hide from the master. Moreover, the slave has a low status, so the master usually doesn't take it seriously. The slave is self-aware and has never had any restless thoughts. I hope Madam will notice! "
"But you have always been smart and clever."
Jiang Ping smiled and asked lightly: "How do I treat you?"
Xiaohuan's shoulders trembled slightly, and he leaned down a little further, resting his forehead on the back of his hand, "Madam is very kind to this slave. She is a reborn parent. She loves her like her own sister. She never beats or scolds her, and she also teaches her how to read and practice martial arts. , I will never be able to repay you as a slave."
After a pause, she raised her head and looked at her mistress, her eyes bright and firm, "If Madam feels that this slave is at fault, Xiaohuan is willing to die to apologize and will never complain!"
Jiang Ping nodded and asked, "What level have you reached in practice?"
"My servant is dull and has no talent. It took a few years to reach the second level of body training."
However, Jiang Ping knew that in addition to taking care of the children, she also had many things to do in the house. She only had time to practice martial arts and read books at night, and unlike her and her concubine sisters, she did not have the assistance of precious medicinal materials and monster blood.
After thinking about it, Jiang Ping said: "From tomorrow onwards, you no longer need to take care of the affairs of the servants in the house. Leave it to Xiaoqing, Xing'er and Ling'er, and ask Xiaocui and Xiaoqin to take care of them."
"Yes... this slave will obey the madam's arrangements."
Although Xiaohuan had no complaints, she felt aggrieved. She abided by her duties and performed her duties, but she was still punished. She didn't know what the other maids would think about it in the future.
Among the many servants in the Zhong Mansion, she had the highest status. Even the concubines and wives were very polite to her for the sake of the eldest lady.
When arranging affairs on weekdays, it is inevitable to offend others. But if you fall out of favor and fall from the clouds, you may be ridiculed and ridiculed behind the scenes, or even do mischief secretly.
Jiang Ping added: "I will inform Fourth Sister immediately. You can go to her to pick out suitable martial arts secret books. I will also prepare a portion of medicinal materials and animal blood for you every month. From now on, you will specialize in practicing martial arts and studying."
Xiaohuan was startled and blinked, isn't this the kind of treatment only ladies get?
Immediately, her heart tightened, thinking that the madam was testing her, and hurriedly said: "Madam! I don't dare! I know my mistake!"
"Why don't you dare? I see your daily down-to-earth work. As you said, I treat you as my sister. If I hadn't been particularly fond of you at the beginning, I wouldn't have rashly taken you with me without my master's permission. Enter the mansion."
Jiang Ping smiled and stretched out her hand to pull her up, "From now on, stay in the house and practice martial arts knowledge. In the future, you can share your worries with me, what do you think?"
This statement couldn't be more clear.
The smart Xiao Huan understood instantly. When his eyes met with Jiang Ping's, his heart skipped a beat, his pretty face turned red, and he said nervously: "Slave, slave... Master, he..."
Jiang Ping held her hand and smiled and said: "It's not what I mean, so you have to work hard and win the respect of me. I will also speak for you. Don't lose face to me."
Xiaohuan hurriedly knelt down again, "This slave is entirely up to my wife, I will definitely live up to my expectations!"
"Okay, from now on you can take my last name and call it Jiang Huan. Master, let nature take its course. When the opportunity comes, I will make arrangements for you."
"Yes, thank you Madam for the name!"
