Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

After setting off the firecrackers, it was time to have the New Year's Eve dinner. Today, Su Niang cooked a lot of her specialty dishes. The three of them sat around the table, eating, drinking and chatting in a very cheerful atmosphere.

After three rounds of drinking, the dishes were almost eaten. The cooked dumplings were put on the table. A bowl was placed in front of each person. Xie Yuan looked at the ugly dumplings in front of him. He didn't need to think about it and knew that these must have been made by his wife. He didn't Disgusted, I picked one up and ate it.

Jiang Minghong glanced at the dumplings in his own bowl and then at his brother-in-law's bowl. Well, they were all the same, and his heart instantly felt balanced.

Eating the extremely ugly dumplings, he secretly comforted himself that although they looked ugly, they were better than delicious. It was the first time his sister made dumplings, so how could he ask for too much.

As for the beautiful lucky bag dumplings and wheat ear dumplings, forget it—don’t think about it, he doesn’t deserve it.

Jiang Mingyue looked at the beautiful dumplings in the bowl, and at the two people who were eating the dumplings. She couldn't bear to bully them like this, so she gave them a lucky bag-shaped dumpling each.

"Thank you, sister!"

Jiang Minghong ate it in one bite. Well, it was stuffed with mushrooms and pork. It was so delicious!

On the other hand, Xie Yuan ate in a slow manner. He actually took three bites of a dumpling and still didn't eat - was he a man?

He obviously did it on purpose. If he had known it, he wouldn't have eaten so fast.

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but laugh. Together, they were in their forties, but sometimes they looked childish like children.

After the meal, the three of them sat around the small fire and chatted.

After a while, Jiang Minghong got up to pour water and saw snow falling outside the window. He turned to look at his sister and said, "Sister, it's snowing!"

"Really!" Jiang Mingyue said and stood up. The climate in the south is warm and it rarely snows in winter, so Jiang Mingyue was surprised to hear that it was snowing.

She walked to her brother's side: "Hey! It's really snowing, so heavy!"

The two siblings stood by the window and watched the snow with great interest.

Xie Yuan took the cloak, walked behind his wife, and put it on her body.

"Be careful not to catch a cold."

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm'.

After looking at the snow for a while, the freshness wore off, and they sat back down in front of the small stove.

Xie Yuan saw that the peanuts were cooked, took them out, peeled them and put them in his wife's hands.

"Delicious."

If the man peeled it again, she would eat it again. After Jiang Mingyue ate five handfuls in a row, she took the man's hand and said, "I don't want to eat it."

Hearing this, Xie Yuan put down the peanuts, wiped his hands, picked up an apple and asked, "Would you like to eat an apple?"

Jiang Mingyue shook her head, squinted her eyes and leaned on the man's shoulder, feeling a little sleepy.

Xie Yuan hugged the person and asked in a low voice: "Are you sleepy?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Mingyue responded like a kitten.

Xie Yuan adjusted his sitting position to make her more comfortable.

"Then just squint for a while. When the time comes, I'll call you!"

"Okay!" Jiang Mingyue slowly closed her eyes.

Xie Yuan hugged his wife, peeled the apple, and gave half of it to Jiang Minghong.

Jiang Minghong ate an apple and watched his sister fall asleep. When he spoke again, his voice was much lower.

Time passed bit by bit. At midnight, Xie Yuan heard firecrackers starting to set off outside and woke up his wife.

Jiang Mingyue opened her eyes drowsily and heard the man say: "New Year is here, Mingyue, Happy New Year."

Jiang Mingyue leaned into the man's arms and replied angrily.

"Happy New Year!"

Seeing that his wife was really sleepy, Xie Yuan did not call her, but stood up and hugged her, took out a red envelope and handed it to Jiang Minghong: "Happy New Year!"

"Brother-in-law, Happy New Year."

Xie Yuan nodded and reminded: "I'll leave the firecrackers to you."

"it is good!"

Before dawn on the first day of the new year, Song Ren brought his two children and Xie Rou into the palace.

Outside the palace gate, Xie Rou waited for the carriage to stop before waking up her daughter and Brother Hui. After they were completely awake, she handed them over to Song Ren.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

Song Ren held his daughter in one hand and his son in the other and said warmly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them."

The two separated, and Xie Rou was led by the palace maid to visit Concubine Jing.

An hour later, in the carriage, Xie Rou saw the three people coming back, looked at Song Ren and asked, "Are you okay?"

Although she was in the harem, she had also heard about the events of the previous dynasty. Among all the grandsons and granddaughters of the Holy Emperor, it was her daughter who received the most rewards this year.

Song Ren heard the worry in his wife's words, held her hand and said, "It's okay, brother and the others won't argue with a junior, and besides, Lan'er is a daughter."

Although Song Ren didn't say the next words, Xie Rou already understood what he meant.

Lan'er is a daughter. Even if she looks like the Holy Emperor and is liked by the Holy Emperor, she won't pose much of a threat to the eldest prince and the others.

Yes, her daughter looks neither like her nor Song Ren. Instead, she looks very much like the Holy Emperor. She couldn't tell it when she was little, but since she was one year old, Lan'er has grown a little wider and looks more and more like her. .

All the old people in the palace who have met Lan'er said that she is very similar to the Holy One. It is precisely because of this daughter that they have not been as difficult as before in the past two years, and Song Ren is no longer the same person among the Holy One. The presence.

Xie Rou felt relieved, settled Lan'er and Brother Hui, poured a cup of brown sugar ginger water and handed it to Song Ren.

Song Ren drank and talked to her about the events of the previous dynasty. In the past, although the eldest brother and the second brother fought fiercely, they were more restrained, but this year it was the first time that the two of them exposed each other's shortcomings in front of their father. The juniors are also fighting openly and secretly now, which is too shameful.

After Song Ren told the story, he gently touched his son's head and said, "Our brother Hui was born weak, so it's better to raise him at home for a few years."

After hearing this, Xie Rou knew her husband's next plan.

"Is Concubine Jing okay?" Song Ren asked.

"Your Majesty is fine, but she misses Princess Anhe a little."

Song Ren heard this and took it to heart.

After the New Year, but before the fifteenth day, the time for this year's county examination in Wanping County has come out.

Xie Yuan was the first person to know the news. In the evening, after Jiang Minghong came back, he called his brother-in-law to the study and told him the news.

"Time is already very tight, so I have made a homework schedule for you. In the following time, I will list the Four Books and Five Classics for you again. This time I will only talk about the key points and test points. Then I will review the writing methods and poetry writing. This is what you are best at, so you can relax a little, what do you think?"

"I listen to my brother-in-law." Jiang Minghong agreed without thinking.

"Okay, I have county test papers from past years here. Based on these papers, I will make some test papers that are similar to the county test questions, so that you can familiarize yourself with the feeling of the exam in advance."

"Okay, thank you brother-in-law."

…………

Outside the window, Jiang Mingyue listened to Xie Yuan's arrangements for everything and quietly entered the kitchen. All she could do was arrange meals for the two of them so that they could have enough food and clothing.

The day after Xie Yuan made a study plan for Jiang Minghong, the news that the boy's examination was held in February spread quickly in the private school through Master Yu's mouth.
