This is the first time she celebrated the New Year at Hou Mansion. It is actually quite fresh. The most important thing is that the New Year atmosphere in ancient times is particularly strong, and it is fun and beautiful, which makes people feel full of expectations.

The mansion was covered with red lanterns, and they were cleaned and neatly. They were busy with the mansion, and the kitchen was sent to help. Even the slaves changed into new clothes, with different men and women, and they were brand new.

Zilan and Shuhui also changed into new clothes, but Zhao Xuan'er could not wear red clothes. She was filial and could not wear filial piety, which was contrary to filial piety. This is the focus of this era, but it has passed the filial piety period. You can wear it cleaner and you don't have to be simplified.

It’s New Year’s Eve soon, and brothers can also take a break and have fun without studying. They will take Zilan and Shuhui to play games in the yard.

A group of children were joking and joking in the yard, not to mention how happy they were. Zhao Xuan'er looked silent from afar, but did not join them. She shook her head and said nothing even if her brothers invited her.

No one paid attention to her again, once, twice, or three times, and everyone was just concerned about playing with their own things.

There are firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, but Zilan and Shuhui are not allowed to play this, for fear that they will be injured, so Yang Yu only took them to set off a few cannons to have fun.

Despite this, everyone is still very happy. There are many games and toys for children, such as Jiulian and some interesting novels, and jumping plaids, which are very fun.

Zilan and Shuhui had a lot of fun with their brothers. Those who won had prizes, which were toys, or small things collected by boys, etc.

The family had the New Year’s Eve dinner together, and Zhao Xuan'er sat in the house and didn't know where to go.

"Xuan'er, why don't you go back to the house? I specially asked someone to make a vegetarian food for you. Can you choose what you like?"

Xu said to Zhao Xuan'er with a smile.

The table was full of chicken, duck, fish and meat, and she couldn't eat it either. It was so embarrassing to watch it.

In fact, it can be left behind, because it was originally eaten separately. Each person had a long table and a few dishes were eaten like this. It would not affect much, but Zhao Xuan'er was too stupid. Everyone didn't want to look at her cold face and be disappointed when celebrating.

"Okay, thank you aunt."

Zhao Xuan'er took a deep breath and pursed her lips and lowered her head and bent her knees to thank her, and turned around and left silently.

Xu smiled and said nothing but said anything to keep him.

Zi Lan just glanced at him and happened to meet Zhao Xuan'er's look of asking for help. Shuhui next to her pulled her, "Sister, I want to sit with you for dinner."

"Okay, then let's set up a table and let's have a meal together."

Zi Lan took the opportunity to turn her head and talk to Shuhui, pretending not to see it, not wanting to meddle in other people's business, and it would be enough to teach her a lesson once.

Zhao Xuan'er sighed helplessly, stepped out of the house and returned to Xiyuan.

After the man left, Shuhui bit her ear and muttered in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to her, you forgot the lesson you learned last time.

If you ask someone, you still refuse to bow your head. Your mouth looks like a clam shell. Who are you posing with? You will use your soft heart every time, and you will turn your back on your face if you have any discomfort."

Zilan patted her hands, "I don't plan to help her. I don't talk anymore. Don't get angry during the Chinese New Year. I made you fragrant orange tea to make you enjoy the appetite."

"Really, I'll try it, well, the aroma of orange peel, it's sour and sweet, delicious."

Shuhui was immediately happy when she heard this, and took a sip and smiled with satisfaction.

This New Year's Eve dinner is a water mat. After eating, the dishes are served. There are many dishes, such as the sweet and salty steamed and fried. All kinds of dishes are very exquisite and delicious, but the chef has shown all his skills.

There are not many things in each dish, but very few. The color combination looks very good and the taste is very delicious. Zilan and Shuhui don’t have time to talk, and their mouths are stuffed.

In the end, they couldn't eat many dishes anymore and their stomachs were very swollen. They made fragrant orange tea in advance, which was necessary to make appetizing and digesting.

It is time to stay up to New Year's Eve. Men and women accompany the elders to play the Leaf Card and sit around and talk and laugh. Zilan and Shuhui are fanning the flames and secretly report to the old man and the old woman, allowing them to win money. The atmosphere is very happy.

It was night, and Song Zhengtian and the others set off fireworks in the yard. The gorgeous fireworks flew into the sky with a moment of brilliance and brightness, and everyone cheered and screamed together.

With the sound of firecrackers from Pilibala, Zilan clasped her hands together and wished her relatives and friends good health and all the best. I lived a good life here and I was very happy.

After playing for a while, I don’t know when the men are left playing, and the women are talking and chatting together on the pads.

Zilan and Shuhui are already drowsy. Staying up late is too difficult for the child under seven years old to sleep.

The old lady saw it, "Take the two children to the warm room and sleep with them, cover them with a quilt, don't catch a cold."

"good."

Song Zhengtian and Yang Lin sent their two daughters to the warm-house kang and covered them with a quilt.

The next day, he woke up before dawn. He was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. Yang and Ma had already gotten up and kissed them with their two children. "Baby, it's time to get up. Your father said he wanted you to change into new clothes and go to the market to play. This market will take several days."

There are markets here for the New Year and Festival, and small vendors from poor families come to set up stalls. It is more important to buy some good things for their families after making money.

"Really, sister, get up quickly, let's go play."

Zi Lan got up as soon as she gulped. Muxiang and Chenxiang immediately stepped forward to dress her. There are new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year. The bright red Eight-Fu Xiang skirt embroidered with magpies climbing to the branches, which means auspiciousness and adaptability.

Yun Xiang brought her water to wash, Hongmei combed her hair, and today she specially brought her two or three cute and childlike gold jewelry, as well as beautiful velvet flowers.

The ancients could actually make velvet flowers very realistic, and the color combination was very beautiful, making them look very simple and dignified.

"Mom, this velvet flower is so beautiful."

Zi Lan looked at the bronze mirror and smiled with satisfaction.

"I have asked someone to buy a few boxes for you. Choose whatever you like and put them in the small drawer of the warmer cabinet."

Ma turned his head and said with a smile.

"Thank you, my second aunt. Lan'er wishes my second aunt good health, youthful and beautiful, and all the best."

Zilan held his little hand and greeted his elders. He had a red envelope to receive it.

"Hui'er wishes my aunt a beautiful face, good health, good fortune and good luck."

Shuhui also immediately reacted and bent down to celebrate the New Year with her fists.

"Hahaha! I thought the two children couldn't remember it, but I saved it when I was thinking about the red envelope. It seemed that I couldn't save it."

Yang immediately smiled happily and joked.

"Auntie, bring the red envelope."

Shuhui rushed over and hugged Yang and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, all are ready for you."

Yang asked someone to take two purses for them, each of which was the same thing, and the honeysuckle was customized in advance, specially used for gifts to relatives and children.
