Hanjianglou and Dong Sanchun drank a little wine, not too much, and the alcohol content was not high.
However, the atmosphere is so good that everyone will get drunk without being drunk.
Hanjianglou's steps were slightly unsteady.
Dong Nuan watched from behind and couldn't help but reach out to help.
The maids and servants have been sent away, leaving only two people here.
Hanjiang Tower, which was originally swaying, was given a hand by Dong Nuan, and Wei Xun's brain was mostly awake.
He turned his head following the force and looked at the little girl in front of him. With his free hand, he suddenly pulled Dong Nuan over.
Dongnuan followed his strength and crashed into his arms, which made Hanjianglou feel that he had burned his brain and body all night, and finally felt satisfied.
He couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "Nuan Bao."
Whispering softly, with a hint of tenderness and temptation.
Dong Nuan moved the tips of her ears, feeling as if her heart had been lifted slightly, and the wind was blowing, slowly blowing open the lake in her heart.
And Han Jianglou, in a lake of scattered hearts, gently lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips.
At first it was just a slight touch, and it broke apart at the first touch.
After that, Han Jianglou's eyes flickered slightly, feeling that the little girl in the dark night seemed to have a different kind of charm, which made him want to taste more.
In the whistling north wind, the light taste turned into a hazy night. Accompanied by the fireworks on New Year's Eve, the thoughts of the two people seemed to fly into the distance.
After a long time, amidst the brilliant fireworks, Dong Nuan slowly regained his sanity.
Han Jianglou was afraid that she would be cold, so he opened his cloak and held her tightly in his arms.
He is tall and tall, and his clothes are extremely big. It is not a problem to wrap up his slender body in winter warmth.
The two of them were extremely close, so close that Dong Nuan felt that Hanjianglou's heartbeat seemed to be beating on the tip of his own heart, beating again and again, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes as passionate as fireworks, sometimes as gentle as the breeze.
Dong Nuan gently pressed her head into the other person's neck, feeling the entanglement of each other's breathing and the entanglement of each other's heartbeats. She just felt that this year's New Year's Eve seemed to be particularly heart-pounding.
How else to explain it, her ears turned red unconsciously, and her face also turned red along with it.
"Let's go, Nuan Bao." Hanjianglou, who was also surrounded by heat and crimson, hugged Dong Nuan and carried him directly back to the room.
Of course, Hanjianglou, who is still rational, will not do anything else.
The most he can do is kiss and hug him, then sigh softly and take his little girl into his arms.
After taking a bath in Hanjianglou, there was still a faint smell of alcohol on his body, which was not unpleasant. Dong Nuan fell asleep in this faint smoke of fireworks.
I went to bed late on New Year's Eve, but got up very early on New Year's Day.
Because I still need to go to pay New Year greetings, my own family has to pay my respects, and the Cao Mansion also has to go there.
If Mr. Han hadn't been far away in Jiangzhou, they would have gone to pay homage.
So, on the first morning of the first day of the new year, everyone gets up early.
The family didn't care so much. Everyone got up early to eat dumplings, and then the younger generation paid New Year's greetings to the elders. In winter, spring and winter, Wu prepared red envelopes, and everyone happily received them.
Dong Nuan also gave red envelopes to all the maids and servants in the house.
Because it was the New Year, the winter was warm and generous, and each person received one tael of silver, which made everyone extremely happy.
Although this expenditure is quite large, Dong Nuan really made a lot of money last year, so I don’t feel bad at all.
After the family had dinner, Dong Nuan and the others got up and went to Cao Mansion to pay New Year greetings.
Dong Nuan had just arrived at the Cao Mansion, and Cao Feng and Cao Zhuo also arrived at the Princess Mansion. Apparently, the two brothers went there to pay Dong Sanchun and his friends New Year greetings.
The two families are related by god, so there is no reason for it except that Dong Nuan went to Cao Mansion to pay New Year greetings.
Cao Xinyao was not in the capital, so the two brothers went up directly.
After paying New Year greetings, Dong Nuan stayed at the Cao Mansion for lunch, and the Cao Feng brothers also stayed at the Princess Mansion for lunch before returning to their respective homes.
There was no summons from the palace, and there was no need for Dong Nuan to pay New Year greetings.
After coming back, I took a short rest and the first day of the new year was almost over.
In the evening, Dong Nuan was not hungry. At noon, he was fed a lot of food in Cao's Mansion. Even though Dong Nuan kept giving in, he still couldn't make the elders feel that you were too thin and insisted on letting you eat.
Then Dong Nuan ate too much, so that I wasn’t hungry at night.
Moreover, there are less activities in winter and there is no consumption, so there is less food to eat during the winter.
We eat enough food and water during the New Year, so no one is too hungry.
Therefore, the Dong Wu family is already discussing with the cook whether to stew some sweet soup for everyone to drink in the evening.
It doesn't matter if the winter is warm, but she is afraid of being hungry in Hanjiang Tower.
So, when Hanjianglou came to look for her after taking a break from studying, Dongnuan pulled him aside and mysteriously took out a large paper bag from a small box.
The smell of meat inside was a bit strong, and Hanjianglou could smell it as soon as Dong Nuan was taken out.
And the smell is a bit strange.
Hanjianglou squinted his eyes and said in confusion: "This is..."
"I didn't even dare to take out the beef jerky that my second sister sent me, for fear that someone would see it and cause something to happen." What Dong Nuan took out was a New Year's gift from Cao Xinyao, pressed into a jewelry box.
A pack of beef jerky inside.
The other party didn't say much in the letter, so he just sent it quietly, not wanting to draw attention to himself.
Of course, the letter did not mention it at all. Cao Xinyao praised Dingzhou, although the climate in Dingzhou is not very good, the cattle and sheep are fat.
Okay, beef and sheep are really a good description.
As for where this beef jerky comes from?
According to Dong Nuan, there are many beef cattle in Dingzhou that are not suitable for farming, so it is hard to say whether this is the case.
However, this kind of thing should not be publicized too much, so Dong Nuan did not ask or say anything more. He did not even mention this to Cao Xinyao in the letter, so as not to cause trouble to each other.
After all, killing cows is not allowed nowadays.
Hanjianglou was also quite surprised by this pack of beef jerky.
After all, if today's powerful people want to eat beef, they are just thinking about it.
Of course, occasionally there are powerful people who secretly do something exciting for the cows, and then they fall down, get sick, etc., and then they can kill them for meat.
However, farm cattle are precious and rare, so even the powerful are not willing to kill them directly just for meat.
Therefore, beef is a rare thing, and beef jerky is even more rare.
The fresh beef is not enough to eat, so why not just make it dry?
Of course, it is also possible that the journey is far away and it is inconvenient to transport fresh meat back, so it can only be made into jerky.
But this pack of jerky probably contains a lot of beef.
Hanjianglou was a little surprised, touched Dong Nuan's head, and said softly: "Eat Nuan Bao."
Hanjianglou couldn't bear to eat the good stuff, thinking of saving it all for winter warmth.
In response, Dong Nuan shook his head: "It's too toothsome, and I don't like the taste of meat. You can eat it."
While Dong Nuan was speaking, she had already put the bag of dried meat into Han Jianglou's hand.
Dong Nuan really didn't like meaty meat, so when she heard what she said, Hanjianglou didn't refuse. He gently took out a piece of dried meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
