"Wang, your lord?"
Xu Zhengxiang was startled.
She didn't know what was happening in the capital, let alone the entanglement between the prince and the princess.
There is only one thought in her mind now: shutting the prince out. Is this...appropriate?
“Sister, you see it’s snowing heavily today, how about we let the prince come in to talk?
Did you two have a fight?
But the quarrel between the couple at the head of the bed and the quarrel at the end of the bed, look at it..."
"Sister," Feng Yu said with a serious expression, "I'm not quarreling with him, I want to make peace with him."
"ah?"
Xu Zhengxiang was even more shocked.
"Harmony?" This kind of thing is too big for a woman.
But Xu Zhengxiang understood after thinking about it.
"Sister, tell me, is that man sorry for you? When Xiao Mu was sent here, I thought something tragic happened to his family.
Since you and his father are both here, you must have had no choice but to do what happened back then, right?
So, that prince wants to harm you, mother and son? He wanted to kill Mu'er back then, but now he wants to turn back? "
Seeing Xu Zhengxiang's speculation gradually becoming outrageous, Fengyu said: "Sister, it's not what you think! But after so many years, there is really no room to turn around.
I don't want to see him, let alone talk to him. "
"I know!"
Xu Zhengxiang didn't know what he was thinking. He reached out and patted Feng Yu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, my sister will never let him enter our home!"
King Cheng seemed to be sincere in his visit this time.
Feng Yu didn't let him in, so he stood at the door obediently, neither forcing his way in nor knocking loudly or making any noise.
Ye Luoxin told Xiao Mu about the incident: "King Cheng has been standing at the door. Isn't this good? Why don't you talk to King Cheng and ask him to go to the county to find an inn to stay first? What do you want to say? talk about it later?"
Xiao Mu shook his head: "What is between them is not something we can interfere with.
And he won’t listen to me, so it’s better to let nature take its course. "
Ye Luoxin thought for a moment: Yes!
The snow was falling harder and harder. King Cheng stood at the door and soon turned into half a snowman.
His knees were submerged in the snow, and there was a thick layer of snow on top of his head.
Occasionally, villagers would come out and be frightened to see such a big living person standing at the door of Xiao's house.
They wanted to come forward to ask about the situation, and even asked if they wanted to call the door for him, but King Cheng refused.
It was slowly getting dark.
Fengyu felt a little uneasy.
At first, she secretly peeked outside to see if anyone was still there.
Later, I simply ignored it and went back to my room.
When all the dishes were put on the table, Xu Zhengxiang called everyone out to eat.
The New Year's Eve dinner consists of twelve dishes.
Braised pork, lion's head, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised river fish with soy sauce, braised rabbit platter, stuffed tofu with meat, stir-fried pork with green bamboo shoots, stir-fried pickled beans and peppers...
The table is full.
Everyone was waiting to be served, but now they were a little embarrassed.
Because before eating, they had to set off firecrackers at the door, and now there was a person standing at the door. They didn't know whether to ignore him and treat him as invisible, or to invite him inside.
In the end, it was Xu Zhengxiang who made the final decision: "We won't set off the firecrackers outside this year. We will do the same in the yard!"
"Okay!" Xiao Jing jumped up immediately after hearing this.
This is his favorite thing to do every Chinese New Year.
Fengyu noticed their difficulties
She seemed to have finally found an excuse, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I am not a hard-hearted person. Since he is Xiao Mu's father, and today is New Year's Eve, let him come in and have a meal. "
Xu Zhengxiang shook his head: "Sister, we don't have to feel bad for the man. No one has tied his legs. If he likes to stand, just let him stand outside."
"Forget it." Feng Yu said: "After all these years, there is no need to fight for a moment at this time, but let him take the wrong blame!"
"Okay, Amu, go and invite the prince in!"
Xu Zhengxiang told Xiao Mu.
When Xiao Mu went out, the prince's body was already covered with snow.
It looked like it had never moved.
Xiao Mu said to King Cheng: "Mother said you should come into the house!"
King Cheng's body, which was originally like a snow sculpture, finally moved.
He opened his eyes and looked happy: "Is your mother finally willing to forgive me?"
Xiao Mu: "I didn't say anything about forgiveness, I just said that I would let you come in and have dinner together!"
"Then I'd better not go in!" King Cheng returned to the motionless posture just now.
"If you really don't want to come in, just go and stand somewhere else! We will set off firecrackers at the door later, and you are blocking the place by standing here."
"You boy!"
King Cheng didn't expect Xiao Mu to say such cold words.
It's even more chilling than the heavy snow falling in the sky.
But who can blame this?
If I hadn't been so willful back then and not communicated well with Xiaoyu, instead marrying one house after another, I wouldn't be in this situation now.
While the two were talking, the Xiao family all walked out of the house.
Xiao Song and Xiao Jing each held a bundle of chopped bamboo.
Ye Luoxin was holding a bottle of kerosene, and Yang Feng was holding a fire certificate.
After setting up the bamboo, Xiao Mu took the kerosene and sprinkled it all on the bamboo. Then he blew the fire stick upwards and the flames started to burn.
The bamboo is a little wet, so it burns slower.
But when the water vapor was dried, the bamboo immediately began to crackle.
Sure enough, it sounded like firecrackers.
"With the sound of firecrackers, I wish that my parents, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, aunt, and prince will all have their dreams come true in the new year!"
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Xiao Jing happily said auspicious words.
"Okay! Happy New Year everyone!"
"Happy New Year!"
After greeting each other, King Cheng also followed everyone into the house in this seemingly happy atmosphere.
Because of what happened before, only Xiao Changhe and King Cheng were polite. After sitting down, Xiao Changhe was the first to take out the red envelope and share it with everyone.
"Our family has a good harvest this year, and we have also shared a lot of money with the second son and his wife. Therefore, your mother and I will give you a big seal this year."
Several children happily accepted the red envelope and wished Xiao Changhe and Xu Zhengxiang New Year greetings.
Fengyu had also prepared red envelopes a long time ago. She wrapped a banknote for each person, "Thank you for your hospitality during this time. This is the happiest year I have ever lived!"
Upon seeing this, King Cheng quickly took out the red envelope that the butler had prepared for him: "Although it is our first time to meet you, luckily I have prepared it. I wish you all will get everything you want in the new year!"
Everyone, look at Xiao Changhe's face.
With his acquiescence, he also took the red envelopes.
It’s finally time to eat!
They tasted the dishes and chatted.
One moment they talked about next year's harvest, another moment they talked about Xiao Jing's homework, and for some reason they talked about the customs and habits in the capital. Even King Cheng joined in the conversation.
As the night got deeper and deeper, King Cheng and Xiao Changhe drank wine slowly, feeling like they were having a pleasant conversation.
After the meal, the others did not go back to sleep, but sat together to chat and watch the New Year.
The so-called staying up late on New Year's Eve means that every household in the village will light up the lights in their houses and stay up until midnight to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
It is said that this can drive away plague and diseases, protect your family's health, and at the same time welcome the God of Wealth, so that the coming year will be smooth and prosperous.
In such a warm atmosphere, King Cheng drank more and more. He had the illusion that he had integrated well into the family and became a welcome guest together with Feng Yu.
This illusion lasted until I woke up the next morning.
