On New Year's Eve, the whole country celebrates together.

Since Jing Zhong handed in the Tiger Talisman, the whole person has been free. He chats with his wife and visits some friends every day, which is also very contented.

This year's New Year's Eve at the Jing family was particularly lively.

It is also due to Jing Chen's return that Jing Zhong and Feng's smiles have gradually increased these days. Jing Xue took Mu Wenyan back to Jing's house. They have lived in Fenglin's house all these years. Seeing Jingchen come back, he stayed here for a while longer.

Perhaps after all, he is old, and Jing Zhong's arrogance, seriousness and indifference in his youth have faded a lot. At this moment, he is more like a loving father than a serious general.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Jingchen received a letter from Jun Shaoqian, which described the beautiful scenery of Fenglin as always, and even sent a painting with the letter. The letter also wrote some customs and customs and the emperor's new life in Fenglin. implemented policies, etc.

At the end, it seems to be casual, but it also seems to ask on purpose, when will Fenglin come.

A few words form a single column.

Jing Chen answered the letter with a pen in his hand with a smile, and roughly talked about his recent situation, as well as the discussion with literati, and at the end of the letter, he also added the time when he was going to Fenglin.

It is also a few simple words, forming a single column.

He sealed the envelope, put it on the pigeon's lap, and lightly stroked its feathers, causing it to fly away.

When Zhuqing pushed open the door, he saw Jingchen releasing the carrier pigeon.

"Have you received a letter from Mr. Jun?" Zhuqing asked knowingly.

Jing Chen nodded: "It's strange to ask me when I'm going to leave. He looks like he's looking forward to my departure." After he finished speaking, he laughed lightly.

"Don't look at Mr. Jun as a cold and quiet person, but he cares about you very much." Zhu Qing said with a smile.

"I have some friendship with him in the palace anyway, so it's not surprising that he asks a few more questions now."

"But young master, speaking of it, young master Jun and us are not very familiar." Zhu Qing said.

"What do you want to say?" Jing Chen looked at her strangely.

"My lord is such a smart person, don't you understand what Qing'er is thinking?" Zhuqing took out the wintersweet from the vase a few days ago, and said with great regret, "Look, lord, this flower is It's better to let 'he' grow on the branches and cut off the roots of 'him'. It was okay a few days ago, but after a long time, it will fail."

Jing Chen looked at the decayed wintersweet, didn't he? When Zhuqing cut the wintersweet a few days ago, the flower was still extremely beautiful, but within a few days, the buds didn't even open, so they just withered .

"What a pity." Jing Chen shook his head and said.

"That's not it," Zhuqing said, "Didn't Mr. Jun say in his letter some time ago that when you look at wintersweet, open some windows so that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery? Why fold 'him' and let 'He' withered within a short time in this vase."

"You little girl can talk." Jing Chen shook his head with a smile, "Then it's up to you, don't put flowers in this vase in the future, if I want to enjoy the flowers, I'll walk around more, I'm not a girl, this In the house, there is no need to be too delicate."

"My lord." Zhuyue walked in at this time, "The old lady has prepared dinner, let's go there now."

"Alright, don't spoil your mother's interest." Jing Chen said, "Go and get the cloak that the second brother sent, or my mother will blame me again later." His mother will always forget that he has internal power to protect him. She said that she would not suffer from the cold if she was thinner at ordinary times, but she was extremely worried about him, and would be anxious when she saw him wearing thin clothes.

"Yue'er knows." Zhuyue went in to help him take the cloak, Jingchen stood up, looked at the vase on the table, and said for a long time, "Just keep this vase, and put some evergreen potted plants in a few days Being on the side can also add a lot of vitality to the room."

Zhuqing nodded.

Jing Chen put on a cloak and came to the front hall. The whole family was halfway there. Before the food was served, there were thank you snacks on the table.

The custom of this New Year's Eve dinner starts in the evening until midnight, and the whole family has to sit at the table.

If the family is not considered wealthy, they will cook a table full of food for the family. After the family is full, they are not in a hurry to clean up the dishes. Most of them will cook a large pot of inferior tea and make some Snacks, while chatting and eating some refreshments from time to time, can be regarded as saving food for next year, in response to the omen of "surplus every year", and also in response to the family gathering together every year, and being healthy every year.

If it is a wealthy family, the servant girl will serve some food from time to time, or reheat the cold food.

During this period, there is no need for people to serve, except that they need to come in every short time, they can get together in the small cubicle, which is considered to be the occasion, that is, the master needs to be louder when calling, but since it is Chinese New Year, the master I don't mind either.

The concierge is forbidden to drink while on duty, so as not to let some people who don't understand after being confused.

Except for the palace where the maids are always guarding, most of the other families follow this practice.

After all the members of the Jing family gathered, the maid served dumplings and pastries.

The fish can only be brought up around midnight, which means "more than enough every year".

At this time, most of them are talking about the world. There are three children in the family, and most of them are talking about the interesting stories of these children. Even Jing Zhong has a lot of fun. The people who know Jing Zhong are these days It's changed a lot, but it's more humane, and it's no longer that cold-faced general.

"When you were young, you were much more mischievous than Jing Ling." Feng's teased Jing Chen, "At that time, you were obviously in poor health, and you had to learn how to climb trees. You don't know, when Mother watched you climb that tree, This heart trembles with the trembling tree trunk, just for fear that something will happen to you."

"Did there be any trees in our house back then?" Jing Chen looked at Feng Shi in surprise.How could he remember the mansion in the capital? Although there were many plants, there was indeed a lack of big trees that he could climb up to?

"Why not." Feng looked at him reproachfully, "That year you climbed up and fell down, luckily your father came back to catch you, but you were so frightened that you cried, he couldn't bear to scold you , and ordered to cut down all the trees in the mansion."

Jing Chen glanced at Jing Zhong in surprise. According to Jing Zhong's previous habits, even if he was young, he should be scolded for climbing a tree regardless.

But he didn't expect...

They all said that his brother and mother doted on him, and even his father was soft-hearted towards him sometimes, but he didn't expect that his father was also like this...

"These old things, what are you talking about!" Jing Zhong coughed and looked at Feng Shi with some embarrassment.

Feng Shi covered her mouth and smiled lightly, but didn't speak.

Jing Chen's eyeballs rolled around for a while, and then he suddenly realized: "It turns out that I haven't learned how to climb trees for so many years, because my father cut off my learning path."

"Stinky boy." Jing Zhong scolded, knowing that Jing Chen was changing the subject to him, so he didn't say anything, but the smile in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

Jing Chen grinned and picked up a dumpling. The New Year's Eve dinner would last until midnight, so he didn't say that they had to wait until the elders moved their chopsticks before they could move their chopsticks.

Jing Chen dipped in vinegar, took a bite, then paused, and spat out a copper coin into the plate.

Jing Chen was amused: "Sure enough, I was right in deciding to start a business. Look, I gnawed out a copper coin all at once. Isn't this the heaven's hint to me that if I decide to start a business this year, then let me get rich!"

"You have so many reasons." Feng said with a smile, but she didn't mean much to blame, "Since you said you want to do business, when do you plan to go to Fenglin?"

"Go again after spring," Jing Chen said, "I'm afraid of the cold."

One sentence made everyone laugh.

"By the way, mother." Jing Xue interjected, "Brother and I have discussed it, and I want to ask you and your father's opinion. If you move to Fenglin, are you and your father willing?"

Tang looked at Jing Feng with some surprise, and Jing Feng nodded at her.

The Tang family was naturally delighted. She was originally from Fenglin, and she came to Moyuan after marrying Jingfeng. Even though a married woman should not have frequent contact with her natal family, if she returns to Fenglin, her natal family will not hesitate to visit her. It is more convenient, not to mention meeting often, at least it is not difficult to visit, if it is in Moyuan, it is possible that we will not see each other in this life.

Feng Shi was a little surprised, she subconsciously looked at Jing Zhong.

This relocation to another country is not like an ordinary relocation. This kind of matter can only be decided by Jing Zhong, the head of the family.

"Move to Fenglin?" Jing Zhong frowned subconsciously.

"In the past, if a good general handed over the power, at least he could be made a marquis, but our emperor didn't mention it, which shows that he is extremely jealous of the Jing family." Jing Xue has always been a master who is not afraid of anything. Straightforwardly, "He doesn't want the Jing family to touch the imperial power anymore. No one can think about the emperor's thoughts. He even sent those things to Xiaochen a few days ago. I'm worried that he still wants to tie Xiaochen back."

As soon as Jing Xue's words came out, a trace of cruelty flashed in Jing Zhong's eyes.

"I'm afraid that he used Xiaochen to blackmail the Jing family back then, and now he will use the Jing family to blackmail Xiaochen." Jing Xue said, "Father, mother, don't blame your son for being ruthless. Those who don’t come are out of ten, our ancestral graves, we can’t count how many clothes-clothed tombs, our roots are in Moyuan, but this one is not deep.”

People in the world pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. The Jing family's ancestral grave is in Moyuan. If it is moved to Fenglin, it will be a big deal.

"If the ancestors knew that we were forced to do so, they would definitely agree with his son's decision. Our Jing family is not a pedantic family. Dad, what do you think?"

What Jing Xue said made Jing Zhong fall into deep thought.

The Jing family's ancestral grave is in Moyuan. If their family left, wouldn't it be that no one would go to pay homage to the memorial day every year?
