Xiaoan chose two beautiful plum blossoms and cut one, sent one to Ting Yuxuan, and placed the other in a bottle on their own table.

Xiaoan and Xiaoshi ate hot pot while admiring the plum blossoms, and Xiaoxiong watched with great interest. Only Hutou paid the most attention to the food on the table, and devoted himself to eating hard.

Fan Zijin stood in front of the window, looked down at the tiger's head, and then turned to look at Qi Haoran who was also hardworking, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Mu Yangling looked up at him curiously, Qi Haoran also looked at him blankly, Fan Zijin covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Qi Haoran nodded, nodded with narrowed eyes and said with a smile: "These mutton are all brought from the Northland, they are delicious, and the venison is also delicious, come and taste it."

As Qi Haoran spoke, he took the initiative to cook a few chopsticks of mutton for Fan Zijin.

Fan Zijin's face was black, and he said, "I can't eat so much..."

Qi Haoran thought so too, he loves to eat vegetables, so he immediately scooped up the mutton and put it in his bowl to serve him fresh vegetables again.

Fan Zijin: "..."

Mu Yangling also looked at Qi Haoran speechlessly.

Seeing Ah Ling looking at him, Qi Haoran misunderstood, and immediately shared half of the mutton in his bowl with her, and asked with concern: "Would you like some venison? This is also delicious. If you like to eat hot pot, I will eat it tomorrow." Send someone to find some beef."

Mu Yangling looked at the mutton in the bowl, then at Yin Yin looked at her husband, nodded slightly, "It needs to be fatter."

Fan Zijin looked at the couple who had already started discussing food, took a deep breath, told himself not to be angry, and scooped up the vegetables in the pot.

Fan Zijin was indignant as he ate the overcooked vegetables. He knew that he had brought Xiao Xia out to see what kind of affection they would show.

The group of people had enough to eat and drink, and the tiger head in the Aomei Garden had already followed the little lion Xiao An all over the garden, and the little bear didn't know where he went.

Mu Yangling coaxed Xiaofu and the twins to sleep, wrapped the three children tightly and handed them to the nanny to carry them back to sleep.

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin were a little drowsy after eating and drinking, and were about to wave their hands back to the house to rest when someone came to report: "My lord, two foreigners came to visit with a post, saying that they are friends of the lord, and the son has already passed away." I entertained you at the front, let the little one come and report."

Qi Haoran was taken aback for a moment, then regained consciousness and asked, "Foreigner? Andre?"

Mu Yangling frowned, "Are you here on New Year's Day?"

Fan Zijin was equally displeased, and waved his hands: "Just say that the palace does not welcome guests on the first day of the new year."

The servant looked at the prince and concubine, Qi Haoran yawned and said: "Let's go back like this, let the son come back."

Little Bear is already refusing, what a joke, has anyone ever opened the door to welcome guests on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

The smile on Andre's face stiffened slightly. He knew about this custom, but he didn't know that Daqi people would attach so much importance to this custom.

He glanced at Antonio and saw that he still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, and he knew that the noble duke was angry.

Andre hurriedly said that they didn't know this custom, please forgive me for the offense, and asked for advice on when to come to visit.

Andre said that they have very important things to discuss with Prince Rong, hoping that the sooner the better.

Little Xiong raised his eyebrows and told him that the affairs of Western countries were under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and his father had no right to intervene.

Andre had dealt with the Han people for a long time, and he knew that in the powerful class, everything could be treated with favor. He had approached many officials of Daqi, and they all said that they could solve everything by looking for Prince Rong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have prepared such an important gift and came to visit.

So Andre secretly expressed concern about the efficiency of the Ministry of Rites, and hoped that Xiao Xiong would allow them to meet Prince Rong. Some things should be discussed with Prince Rong.

Xiao Xiong glanced over Antonio who was looking at him with a smile, thought for a while and nodded and said: "Today I really can't open the door to welcome guests. If you two are in a hurry, come back tomorrow. I will ask the father to give you half an hour. of."

Although Antonio was still smiling, he was very displeased in his heart. His status in the country was second only to His Majesty the King. When did he suffer such grievances?

The door-to-door visit was actually turned away.

So Antonio asked Little Bear with a half-smile before leaving, "I heard that King An is very capable. I wonder if I can meet him when I come over."

Little Xiong looked at him in surprise, looked him up and down carefully, then turned to Andre and said, "Mr. An, if you are using your lord, well, it's not very comfortable, you can stay in the post to rest."

Before Andre and Antonio could figure out the meaning of this sentence, Xiaoxiong looked at him sympathetically and said, "I just said that my Daqi has a custom of not opening the door to welcome guests on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Same, so if you want to visit me, Uncle Fan, I'm afraid it will have to be another day."

Antonio's face darkened, but he still couldn't hold back, and asked, "But I heard that the Prince of Anjun came to your mansion early in the morning."

Little Xiong seemed to be stunned for a moment before realizing what they meant, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty must have misunderstood something. Uncle Fan is a member of our family and is not considered a guest. Besides, Uncle Fan has Grandpa Fan on top of him. As long as he At home, fortune and fortune will not be lost..."

Not opening the door to welcome guests on the first day of the new year is of course just an excuse. Daqi does have this custom, but whether to keep it depends on the individual and depends on the specific situation.

For example, when they are in a good mood, it’s okay to go out to visit a few familiar houses, but are these two foreigners familiar with them?

Although Andre had known each other for several years, they were indeed unfamiliar.

Xiao Xiong made nonsense with a smile. In short, he described this custom as a rule they must abide by, and this rule is subdivided. Naturally, a family or a family of relatives does not pay attention to hospitality, and they come to the door.

Antonio's Chinese is not good. Communication with Xiao Xiong is half by listening, half by guessing, and if he doesn't understand, he needs to translate by Andre, so he was directly confused at this time.

Seeing that Xiaoxiong said something solemnly, I really thought it was the custom.

Although Andre was proficient in Chinese, he didn't know much about the customs of the Han people, so although he was dubious at this time, he chose to believe it when he saw that Xiong said it solemnly.

Little Bear flicked the man away, and then turned back.

After hearing the news, the three of Xiao An could only see the backs of the two of them.

Hutou shouted: "Wen Qian and the others still want to see these Westerners, brother, why did you drive them away?"

Little Bear patted him on the head, and said: "Who said I drove them away? I'm asking them to come back tomorrow. Didn't Wen Qian want to see foreigners nearby? Minger told them to come to the mansion to see them, and they can watch as long as they want." how long."

The little lion cheered and shouted: "Finally, I have not broken my promise to them. I will ask someone to inform them."

Xiao An hurriedly grabbed him, "It's so troublesome, let the carrier pigeon go directly, just like we communicated in the morning, it will take a quarter of an hour."

The little lion thought the idea was good, and sighed: "It is convenient to have carrier pigeons, so let's keep more pigeons and use them for communication."

"I know how to raise pigeons, but I don't know how to train them. We need to find someone who knows how to do it." Hu Tou said with a serious face.

The little lion and Xiao An looked at him and hit him at the same time: "I think you only know how to raise meat pigeons, so you can eat it."

Little Xiong who was left behind by the three: "..." You think homing pigeons are Chinese cabbages on the street, and you raise a lot of them.
