When he was young, Mr. Han came here from Jiangzhou.
It’s been a long journey, but I’m in good spirits.
After he came over, Dong Nuan simply packed up and moved to Han Mansion.
During winter, spring and spring, they also came back from Zhuangzi and went to Han Mansion with Dong Nuan.
The two families have a small population, and most of the relatives of the Han family live in Jiangzhou, so at this time, it will be more lively for the two families to celebrate the New Year together.
Mr. Zhou will not leave Jiangzhou until after the New Year to come to Beijing to report on his work. Mrs. Zhou will accompany him.
Therefore, there are almost no people here in Han Mansion.
"The in-laws are here, come on, come on!" Mr. Han greeted Dong Sanchun and his family enthusiastically when he saw them coming.
Dong Sanchun has been practicing well now, and she can also speak well in etiquette when interacting with people, or speaking in situations. Dong Wu has gradually lost her sense of restraint, and she has become much more relaxed.
Dongtao and Dongzao have drawn a lot this year, and they have learned etiquette very well. As they walk, sit and lie down, they gradually start to look like noble ladies.
Dong Yao has grown a lot this year. He is obviously a younger brother, but he is taller than Dong Zao, his sister. This puts a lot of pressure on Dong Zao.
The person has grown taller and has become much calmer, like a little adult.
After everyone entered the room, Mr. Han first tested Dong Yao's knowledge.
Dong Yao has studied well this year. The environment in the academy is very good, and he has made many new friends. From time to time, his brother-in-law, Hanjianglou, also provides study materials to help him make up extra classes, so he studies well and his grades are also good.
I have always been good, and I am confident and sunny.
Mr. Han took the exam for a while and thought it was good. He praised it a lot and gave Dong Yao a set of four study treasures he brought from Jiangzhou, which surprised Dong Yao.
After the family was done being polite, they began to prepare for the New Year.
In fact, I have already purchased some ornaments and pendants.
Dong Nuan gave me the list, and the maids and ladies have already bought it. Now just take it out and hang it up.
What's left is some New Year's menus and the like, which are also arranged early in the winter.
Now that the weather is cold, a lot of fresh meat is served in jelly, and you don’t have to worry about it spoiling, so you can prepare it earlier. It’s good to prepare it early.
Don't worry, it's the end of the year and some things are still in short supply and you can't buy them.
Two deer were brought directly from the palace, and there was a lot of meat from them.
There are also chickens, ducks and other things raised in Dongnuan Village. I can catch a few of them and pack them out. They can be eaten for a long time.
If you want pork, you need to buy it separately.
Dong Nuan ordered two pigs early, and asked someone to pick them up at the end of the year. The pigs are not big now, but two are enough to feed the two families for the Spring Festival.
There are sheep on the Zhuangzi side in the winter and spring, and there are sheep on this side in the warm winter.
Dong Sanchun thought that he should not be allowed to give out anything during the Chinese New Year, so he killed two sheep directly.
It's a pity that the cow cannot be killed.
I've been craving beef for a long time in winter and spring, but of course I'm just greedy.
At the foot of the capital, just kill the cattle, even if you don't want to live.
I'm so busy, the end of the year is coming soon.
Hanjiang Tower has a holiday on New Year's Eve and lasts until the third day of the Lunar New Year.
I have to go back to the academy on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
There is no other way, spring is coming in February of the new year, who dares to show off at this time?
Just study honestly.
At noon on New Year's Eve, I cooked a table of dishes.
All kinds of prepared meats were served, and there were all kinds of fresh recipes provided by Dongnuan, which added a different flavor of the New Year to the dishes on the table.
"As a family, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have. Let's all eat." Mr. Han and Dong Sanchun, the couple, both sit at the head of the table, but the two families share two tables.
The juniors were divided on the left and right sides.
The young couple Dong Nuan and Han Jianglou must be sitting at the same table, and the Dong Tao sisters are sitting at the same table. Dong Yao doesn't panic and is quite comfortable sitting there.
Everyone had lunch happily. After the lunch break, after a little busy work in the afternoon, dinner started again.
We had dumplings for dinner, and in winter they even made a few of them, as a sign of good luck.
When the dumplings were served in the evening, Dong Nuan and Han Jianglou were still quietly looking for the few dumplings they had made that were not very good-looking.
Hanjianglou's package is actually pretty good. He used to live alone, so his life skills must have been maxed out.
But the dumplings made in Dongnuan...
It's something that a cook would shed tears after watching.
So, if you want to pick it out on a plate, it’s actually pretty easy to find.
Even when the cooks serve dumplings, they do so randomly, and they don’t know whether they are on their plates or not.
"No, this is too ugly. It's obvious at first glance that I didn't make it!" Dong Nuan looked around and didn't start to pull it. After all, he was going to eat it soon. After looking at it for a few times, it didn't look like he had made it himself.
of.
Han Jianglou smiled on the side and responded: "Well, the Nuan Bao bag looks better than this one, it must be the Dong Yao bag."
Dong Yao:?
You can't spread rumors about me just because I'm sitting across from you and far away, right?
"Yes, yes, it's winter peaches." Dong Nuan firmly refused to admit that those ugly dumplings were made by herself.
It's actually not easy to find after it's cooked.
In the end, this matter was settled.
The family ate steaming dumplings. Before they finished eating, fireworks were set off outside.
Dong Nuan has also prepared a lot here, and she and Hanjianglou can't let it go. However, Dong Tao and the others are still younger after all, and they still like this kind of excitement.
Seeing that some of them couldn't sit still, Dong Nuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Finish your meal first, the elders haven't left the table yet."
After Dong Nuan reminded them, a few people sat down honestly.
After dinner, the table was cleared, Dong Tao and others bowed obediently, and then went out to set off fireworks.
Dong Nuan Han Jiang Tower found a comfortable place and started watching the excitement.
"I won't run out on a cold day." Dong Nuan muttered softly, then leaned gently into Han Jianglou's arms.
Hanjianglou sat on the couch covered with thick quilts. He did not feel hard, but was attracted by the softness and constant teasing in his arms.
Hearing Dong Nuan's muttering, Han Jianglou gently rubbed his chin against the little girl's ear, and said in a low and sweet voice: "Well, let's just watch and not go out. It's too cold."
His touch was like some kind of signal, which made Dong Nuan feel interested. He turned his head slightly, and at first he just gently rubbed the side of his face against Han Jianglou's soft lips.
However, sometimes, some things change their taste over time.
Dong Nuan doesn't even know how it started.
But by the time she reacted, Han Jianglou had already pinned her down on the soft couch and kissed her until her legs were weak.
The recovery of consciousness only took a moment, and he soon fell back into a new round of enthusiasm in Hanjiang Tower.
In a daze, Dong Nuan seemed to hear Hanjianglou's smiling voice.
He said: "Don't be afraid, Nuanbao, there are three layers of quilts on the couch, it's not hard at all."
