The Chinese New Year is the busiest time for adults, and children don't have so much entertainment. Except for sacrifices, most of them are playing crazy.

Many of the daughters-in-law who greeted Jia Mu naturally brought their children, and Yingchun had a lot of real friends of the same age, and they had a great time.

Jia Ying was afraid of the cold, so she didn't bother to run around. She just hugged Weiss and nestled next to the fumigation cage, staring at the burning pine and cypress incense in the cage. Asked, dared not talk to her, and then ran out to play after hearing the laughter outside.

Jia Ying sighed inwardly, sure enough she became famous in the clan during the matter of Yingchun wet nurse, she choked half of her life after eating some second-class cakes (from the Wai Sanmen version heard by Wenmei’s mother), money is so precious It is understandable that these clan aunts are afraid that the child will be a bear, and it will affect her.

This smoke cage is set in the place where Jia Mu’s main room must pass. From time to time, daughters-in-law of the clan come in and see a little girl who seems to have walked out of a New Year painting holding a small gray ball on the side, and they can’t help coming. tease her.

Jia Ying is not a real child, so she won't get annoyed with just one or two sentences, and she speaks sweetly. No matter what she asks, she can be abducted to the person who asks her.

When Li Wan walked in, she saw the most cunning daughter-in-law in the clan, smiling from ear to ear. Curious, she walked in slowly, and heard the little girl say, "I saw Si'er sister's The lapel pattern of the clothes is so finely embroidered that we are all envious, no matter how powerful an embroiderer is, she wouldn't be so distracted."

Li Wan thought to himself, no wonder, although this daughter-in-law is difficult to get along with, she dotes on her daughter very much.

The daughter-in-law said with a smile: "I have to go to see the old lady now, if the girl likes it, I will ask someone to bring the flower shape some other day."

Seeing his sister-in-law lazily lying there, Li Wan also sat down beside the smoker cage with the help of her maid.Smiled and looked at her for a while, then asked: "Why don't you go play with the second girl?"

Jia Ying smiled and said, "I'm waiting for sister-in-law."

Li Wan covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Hey, honey has been smeared on my mouth for a while, I think I have collected a lot of New Year's gifts?"

Jia Ying nodded vigorously.

Li Wan smiled and poked her on the cheek: "My third girl, you should move a little bit. After two months, I might not be able to hold you anymore."

Miracle doctor Song has been squeezed out by Jia Zhu recently, buy one get one free, and the couple get a pulse together. Miracle doctor Song said that he will see Jia Lan in February.

Jia Ying said: "I'll grow stronger, and I can hold Lan'er when the time comes."

Li Wan smiled and said, "You always have something to say." Then, he took a purse from Suyun's hand and stuffed it into her hand: "Here, I picked the one you like."

Jia Ying grinned and said Happy New Year, opened the bulging purse and looked, it was indeed full of hibiscus, peach blossoms and begonia-shaped lucky seeds, all of which were made of gold and silver.

She joked: "My sister-in-law still loves me. This year my brother sent me away because he was only a rabbit."

Li Wan listened and laughed, wanted to say something, thought about it for a while, then slowly got up and said, "I'm going in to kowtow to the old lady to pay New Year's greetings, Baoyu, how about you?"

Now that Jia Ying had warmed up, she also stood up, went inside, and stayed by Jia Mu's lap, listening to Jia Mu chatting with her sister-in-law about the past.

Time passed quickly, and in the evening, a banquet was held, men and women sat together, offering Tusu wine, acacia soup, auspicious fruit, wishful cake, all the rules and procedures of the day were over, and they dispersed.

In the end, only their family was left sitting around the brazier in the back room, Jia Mu hugged Jia Ying and sat at the top, Jia She, Jia Lian and Yingchun were on the left hand position. A bunch of aunts and concubines served.

On the right sat Jia Zheng, and then sat Jia Zhu, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Yuan Chun and Tan Chun.Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou and a kind of maid stood aside.

New Year's Eve pays attention to keeping the year old. The family gathers together and keeps watch until dawn. It stands to reason that it should be very harmonious.Now even though the houses are divided, and Jia Mu is still there, the siblings have no reason to go back to their own houses. When the clansmen leave, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng will stay by Jia Mu's side... big eyes and small eyes.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help thinking about which opera wine he could have during this period of time.The theater troupe Lin'an Bo hired the day before yesterday was really good.

Jia Zheng's face was stern, but he was thinking in his heart that the eccentric head of the Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry suddenly gave him a New Year gift.

Mrs. Wang recalled in her heart the Buddhist teachings she heard from her aunt yesterday, so naturally she kept silent.

Several adults did not speak, and the younger generation did not dare to speak too much.So it was weirdly cold.Jia Ying looked up at Mother Jia's expression, and sighed inwardly. There is no Spring Festival Gala in this era, otherwise the whole family would have something to do while sitting.Everyone took a mobile phone to grab a dedication card or something, and with such a large family as the Jia family, they would definitely be able to get several.

It is absolutely impossible for the New Year's Eve to continue like this.

She was about to speak, but her stomach started to growl first, which was clearly audible in the room.

The mandarin duck standing next to Jia Mu was the first one who couldn't hold back and laughed.It was like pressing a switch, and everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Jia Ying blushed, turned around and got into Jia's mother's arms. The old lady patted her on the back while smiling.

When the laughter finally subsided, Jia She was the first to speak: "I wanted to say it many years ago, the whole family's carnival feast is always full, and every time I watch the night with an empty stomach, the next day I still have to go to the palace, and I'm going to get dizzy waiting."

Jia Ying very much agrees with this.If it is a small family, it must be more comfortable. In Jia's mansion, the carnival banquet is more like a ceremony, and the whole family will disperse after gathering together.

Jia Lian nodded repeatedly, and subconsciously touched his stomach.

Mother Jia couldn't help laughing and said, "Actually, I'm a little hungry too, but now I have an idea. Why don't we learn from those Xiaojiazi and make people cook a big pot of dumplings and share them."

Jia Zhu smiled: "The old lady has a good idea."

Mrs. Wang nodded, stood up and said, "I'll give orders."

Jia Ying noticed that her mother got up a little fast, and she secretly laughed for a while, and couldn't help but said, "Ma'am! I like horseshoe fish stuffing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was patted lightly by Jia Zheng on the side.

Mother Jia hurriedly protected her and glared at her son. Jia Zheng touched his nose but said nothing.

Yuan Chun laughed when he saw it on the side: "I like shepherd's purse and fresh meat."

Yingchun clapped her hands happily: "I like pork, cabbage and corn kernels."

Jia Lian followed, "I also like the ones with corn kernels."

Jia Amnesty glanced at the two brothers and sisters who had reached an inexplicable alliance, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, why not let the kitchen try every dish that can be made, cook a pot, and eat whatever soup you eat."

After hearing this, Jia's mother became more interested: "This is a good idea. Let them put in another clean copper coin, and let's see who can get it."

Mrs. Wang personally went to the door to order, and when she came back, the room was already buzzing.

"It just so happened that the village sent game this time, and the minced meat was of the highest quality," Jia She said. "For fresh meat, the foreleg of Siamese pig is the most tender, and the meat of sturgeon is the freshest."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "As you talk, I think of your father. He didn't like any meat stuffing before, but he liked to eat dumplings made of pure mustard. They are freshly dug out. You have to chop up the whole tree and the roots to eat it. It is fragrant. Until one year, Zhuangzi brought in a drawer of sea intestines, which looked scary, and he chopped them together with leeks to make dumplings. They were fresh and crisp, and the taste was different from others. Your father loved that one the most."

People like to recall the past when they are old, and they can't stop talking. Jia She and Jia Zheng both showed nostalgic expressions when they heard this. Now they lit the lamp, and the light shone through the crystal glass, and the silver frost in the brazier The charcoal burned quietly.

After a while, there was a woman who said that it was ready. Mrs. Wang set up a table and filed in with bowls and chopsticks. Jia Mu asked them to send some to the housekeepers in various courtyards.

Jia Ying didn't have many bowls, each one was like ingots, white, smooth and round, lying in the bowl, the face opposite was blurred by the hot white steam.

Jia's tastes are different, some are dipped in sauce, some are put in vinegar, and there is a layer of red oil floating on the surface. Jia Ying prefers the original flavor and does not put other sauces to mix flavors.

She looked at her bowl intently, but there were several dark marks on it. She scooped up the marked ones with a spoon, and a light fish soup came out in one bite. Big and not broken, crunchy and very fresh, with a three-dimensional taste.

Sure enough, it was the stuffed horseshoe fish that she wanted to eat.

The whole family sat around and ate hot dumplings. If it weren't for the low-key and luxurious decorations nearby, she would have almost thought it was just an ordinary big family.

The dumpling with the copper coins was finally eaten by Jia Zheng.Since the bell rang twelve times, the family of Rongguo Mansion walked out of the house, only to hear the sound of twelve cannons on the garrison platform outside the city. A firecracker was prepared on Ningrong Street, and it was also ignited for a while.

Jia Ying was looking up, and a piece of white landed on the tip of her nose.

Jia Ying cheered, "It's snowing!"

Looking at the heavy snow falling slowly from the sky like goose feathers, Jia Ying sneaked up to Yuan Chun's side and tugged on her sleeve.

Yuan Chun squatted down in doubt, reflecting the snowflakes and fireworks, Jia Ying leaned close to her ear, her voice was warm and warm.

"Happy birthday sister!"

Yuan Chun smiled softly, put his arms around her, and pressed his cheek against her.

The sound of firecrackers was a bit loud, and Jia Ying couldn't hear what she said clearly.

+

"Just now, what did you say to your elder sister?" Mother Jia patted her on the back lightly and asked in a low voice.

Because of the sudden heavy snowfall, Jia Mu stayed with Jia Ying to sleep with her because she was worried about catching cold all the way.

Jia Ying said in a daze, "I wish my sister a birthday."

The old lady has a reassuring scent of agarwood here, and she gets sleepy after a while.

Jiamu looked at her eyebrows and eyes carefully, sighed softly, and asked, "Baoyu, when your eldest sister enters the palace, will you move in and live with grandma?"
