Perhaps because they were finally together, Li Huang's desire was held back for too long. The lingering lasted for another half an hour. Although Chu Yiqing resisted, he really couldn't resist the feeling of intertwining bodies.
Sweet, I just fell into it.|i^
Seeing that it was really late, Chu Yiqing finally managed to get out and quickly called Ying Qian in to take a shower and change clothes.
"Don't worry, miss, the old lady hasn't gotten up yet!" Yingqian looked at her master's impatient look and couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
Chu Yiqing glared at Yingqian, and when he was about to ask more questions, Li Huang asked first: "Why aren't you up yet? But you feel uncomfortable?"
"Where is it? Master A Bao and the old lady played too late last night. The servant heard from Lu Ping who was serving the old lady that they were playing poker. A Bao kept winning, which made the old lady also get up.
Because of my desire to win, I played until midnight after finally winning once before going to sleep, so I got up late in the morning!" Yingqian may have thought of the key, and couldn't help but smile and replied.
"Ah Bao is really smart. Ah Bao has guessed everything I'm thinking! It's no wonder that I gave him a big red envelope yesterday!" Li Huang laughed and ordered Ying Qian to go out while he took off his dirty clothes.
Come out and sit in the tub with Yiqing.
Although Yingqian's words reassured Chu Yiqing, it was really late at this time. Besides, she had been at odds with Concubine Qing before, so she couldn't do anything too much, so she ignored Li Huang's coquettish pouting.
He quickly got up and went outside to dress up and change clothes.
He originally thought about the mandarin ducks playing in the water, but now that the mandarin ducks were gone, Li Huang felt bored and had to let Er Wen wait for him to get up.
Although the Qi Mansion was just a front with not many people living there before, there were still people taking care of it. The warm sunshine in winter shone on the mottled bluestone road, and the wind blew rustling sounds from the treetops. Chu Yiqing suddenly thought of
, today turned out to be twenty-nine, which was also New Year’s Eve. I didn’t expect that she would marry Li Huang in such a hurry.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Huang asked with a smile as he held her hand and the two walked slowly.
"No, I just feel that our marriage is too hasty. You see, today is New Year's Eve. I didn't originally plan to celebrate the New Year here in Qi Mansion. I'm afraid I haven't prepared anything, right?" Chu Yiqing laughed softly.
"It's better to hurry up and cook the rice earlier, and you won't have to worry too much about it!" Li Huang smiled proudly, "Whether it's my father or the King of Chu, we got married so quickly,
It saves a lot of trouble!"
Only then did Chu Yiqing understand what Li Huang was up to. When she thought about it, she felt relieved and didn't dare to do anything. Now that she was married to Li Huang, the road ahead would have to be walked by two people, and they would face it together!
When they arrived at the outer room of the main room, Concubine Qing was still washing herself inside and had not come out, but Abao stretched out his little head first and stared at the two of them with his big black eyes.
"Abao, come here quickly!" Chu Yiqing didn't see Abao all night, so he thought hard and quickly picked him up and sat on his lap, "Didn't you agree to sleep by yourself? How can you sleep in grandma's room?
coming?"
A Bao lay next to Chu Yiqing's ear and said: "Mother, A Bao said a lot of good things for mother last night!"
Chu Yiqing was startled, and then she understood A Bao's painstaking efforts. She caressed A Bao's head lovingly and said, "You are a big kid. How can you get involved in these things?"
Abao wrinkled his little nose and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Li Huang, who had been smiling at him. He quickly got off Chu Yiqing, straightened his clothes, and then knelt down in front of the two of them.
.
"Abao, what are you doing?" Chu Yiqing and Li Huang were both stunned.
"A'Bao is giving me a gift to Daddy. From today on, Daddy is really A'Bao's daddy!" A'Bao said sternly, kowtowing to Li Huang.
Li Huang's heart moved, and he quickly helped him up and said: "You child, we have a good understanding of father and son. Why are we bothering with this little ritual? Do you think the red envelope I gave you yesterday was not big enough and you still want one today?"
When Li Huang made a joke, Abao became less serious than before. He immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Daddy, are you ready? Bring it when you are ready!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Abao, what good things did you get yesterday? Come and show me!"
When A Bao heard this, he immediately became obsessed with money: "That's the red envelope given by dad to open the door. Could it be that mother wants to take this too?"
"Haha!" Li Huang couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, your mother can't have it, it was given to you by your father, and it's at your disposal!"
Abao immediately nodded vigorously and looked sideways again, how cute._!~;
"I originally thought that you were just putting more money in that red envelope. Seeing you mention that red envelope twice, I really want to know what's in it!" Chu Yiqing smiled and pulled Abao Fei.
When I asked what was in the red envelope, Po refused to tell me and the whole family laughed.
From far away, I heard the laughter of a family of three coming from the hall. Concubine Qing stopped, paused, hesitated slightly and led Luping into the hall.
"Grandma is here!" Before Li Huang and Chu Yiqing could say anything, Abao stepped forward and took Concubine Qing's hand affectionately, helped her sit on the main seat, and stood respectfully.
Chu Yiqing said from his side: "Grandma, A Bao has already met his father!"
Qing Fei's originally gloomy expression softened slightly. She nodded and raised her eyes to look at Chu Yiqing.
Although she also knew that in ancient times, she had to kneel down to serve tea to her mother-in-law, Chu Yiqing's temperament had always been cold-hearted, and she felt a little embarrassed. But seeing Concubine Qing staring at her, Lu Ping also brought the tea cup, and she
He had no choice but to kneel down and take the tea cup, saying respectfully: "Mom, please drink tea!"
Qing Fei paused, and that pause actually made Li Huang and Abao nervous.
She raised her eyes and glanced at her son and grandson. Although Concubine Qing was a little reluctant, she had no choice but to say, "Yiqing, since you have entered this house, you must behave in this way from now on."
Put family first, be filial to your elders, and serve your husband. If you can't do that, I won't have to drink this cup of tea!"
Chu Yiqing lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "Don't worry, mother, since I'm married to Huang, I will naturally put him first in everything!"
After hearing this, Concubine Qing nodded with satisfaction, took the tea, took a symbolic sip, took out a colorful chalcedony bracelet from her arms, and put it on Chu Yiqing, "This is
The ancestral jade bracelet of the Luo family was originally only passed down to daughters, but now that I don’t have a daughter, I’ll pass it on to you so that you can live happily wearing it!”
Chu Yiqing quickly thanked him.
"Okay, get up quickly. If you kneel any longer, the two men in the family may quit!" Concubine Qing said softly.
Li Huang and Abao quickly stepped forward and helped Chu Yiqing up, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Old madam, the kitchen is ready. Do you want to have breakfast?" Lu Ping asked in immersion.
Concubine Qing nodded, raised her hand, and sat down first, then asked Li Huang and Abao to sit beside her respectively.
Chu Yiqing sat next to Li Huang.
When the food was served, Concubine Qing deliberately refused to eat it, but just stared at it with her eyes. Chu Yiqing knew that this was setting rules for her, so he quickly picked up the food for her.
After finishing the meal, Chu Yiqing felt extremely tired. As for what he ate or drank, he had no memory at all!
"You're done, eat slowly!" Qing Fei picked up the brocade handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her lips, then stood up with a cold expression.
"Concubine, let's go back to the house and rest. Today is the New Year. Yiqing and I will go out to buy some New Year's goods later. Fortunately, several shops in the town are owned by us, so it is convenient to pick up things!" Li Huang
Taking the opportunity to speak, he stood up with Chu Yiqing and Abao.
Concubine Qing nodded lightly and ordered: "This is the first New Year that I have spent with you, so it will naturally be more lively. By the way, I like to hear the sound of the war. You can buy more!"
Li Huang was startled, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Concubine Qing turning around and walking away.
Li Huang turned around and pulled Chu Yiqing to sit down, and said in a low voice: "I'm embarrassing you! Don't forget what my mother-in-law said!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "She is an elder, what do I care? It's just that she is twenty-nine, where can I buy a ring?"
Li Huang also frowned and said: "I'm afraid my mother has forgotten that she is already twenty-nine now, and the shop selling jingle wars has long been closed! But this is the first year that our family has spent together. If there is no ring war,
Zhan really loses a lot of interest, why not go look for it, maybe pay a little more money, then maybe a Xiangzhan shop can be opened!"
Concubine Qing did not want to see Chu Yiqing, and Chu Yiqing was the way of nature, so he wanted to take the opportunity to please Concubine Qing, so he nodded and told A Bao to finish quickly, and the three of them packed up and went shopping.
On the 29th, almost all the shops were closed and went home to celebrate the New Year. In the streets and alleys, everyone was busy putting up Spring Festival couplets and door flowers. I found four rattling shops, all of which were closed. Finally, I arrived at one
Xiangzhan Shop, the shopkeeper lived behind the shop and was pasting Spring Festival couplets on the shop door, so the three of them hurried over to inquire.
"When are you going to buy bells now? It's already the Chinese New Year!" As soon as the shopkeeper heard about Li Huang and Chu Yiqing's intention, he immediately waved his hands and said, "This guy has gone home for the holidays a long time ago. This shop
My family is the only one left here. My wife and son don’t know this craft, and I don’t want to do it anymore during the Chinese New Year. I have been busy for a year, but I have to spend the new year peacefully!
"
Li Huang quickly said: "How about I give you ten times the money?"
"It's not a matter of money. Look, it's already twenty-nine and the door to my shop is closed. It won't be open until the fifteenth when the guys get together and have a drink. Otherwise, it's unlucky!"
"The shopkeeper refused to agree to anything.
"Shopkeeper, how about this? I buy your raw materials and I make them myself?" Chu Yiqing said abruptly.
"That's even worse. The craftsmanship of this bell is passed down from my family, but not everyone can see it!" The shopkeeper shook his head when he heard this, and did not want to quarrel with Li Huang and the others anymore, and hurriedly entered the shop and closed the door.
opened the door.
Li Huang whispered: "I think it's better to forget it. Maybe the mother and concubine just said it casually and can still celebrate the New Year without any war!"
Chu Yiqing whispered: "I still have a way, you two come with me!"
Chu Yiqing took Li Huang and Abao to the vegetable shop.
Shopkeeper Lin received Chu Yiqing's order early in the morning, so he specially brought a cart of food from Shangjia Village, including various vegetables, pickles, rice and noodles. He was planning to send it to the Qi Mansion right now.
Seeing Chu Yiqing and Li Huang coming in person, shopkeeper Lin quickly saluted and said, "Miss, uncle, why are you here in person? Don't worry, these things are all in order and guaranteed to be complete!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see Ning'er. Is he here?"
Shopkeeper Lin was stunned, and quickly let the three of them in, and then asked his mother-in-law to take Lin Ning out to meet the guests.
Lin Ning has now matured into a handsome young man. In the past two years, he has become Chu Han's youngest doctor with his extraordinary ear and medical skills, and he is well-known.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want some saltpeter and sulfur. It's the New Year, and the pharmacies outside are closed, so I thought of you. I haven't seen you in these years, so I stopped by to take a look!
"Chu Yiqing, Li Huang, and Abao said after they sat down.
Shopkeeper Lin and his family quickly knelt down to salute, and Lin Ningniang even said: "It's rare that Miss Chu still remembers Ning'er. It's really Ning'er's blessing!"
Lin Ning asked: "I wonder how much saltpeter and sulfur Miss Chu needs? What is it used for? I wonder if Lin Ning can help Miss Chu?"
"Just pack some for me. It's just a small matter. You don't need to be a miracle doctor. You are very skilled in medicine. Are you afraid that I won't be able to use you?" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
Lin Ning quickly responded and asked the boy beside him to prepare quickly.
After letting Yingqian accept the saltpeter and sulfur, Chu Yiqing and Li Huang stood up and left.
On the way back, Li Huang looked at the two packages of things strangely, and couldn't help but wonder: "Do you still know how to make a ring?"
Abao also asked: "Mom, can you make a war with these two bags?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "We also need charcoal, but I haven't done it before, so let's give it a try!"
Li Huang whispered: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much, just tell your mother and concubine directly!"
"I'm not doing it all for my mother, but as you said, this is the first year we've spent together. It's really boring without any movement. Anyway, it's idle right now!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
, gently held Li Huang's hand.
Li Huang nodded, holding Yiqing with one hand and holding Abao with the other. The three of them talked and laughed as they went home.
Because there is usually only one cleaning woman and one cook in the Qi Mansion, and the rest are caregivers. Now that so many people have moved in, there is naturally no time to prepare the New Year’s Eve meals, so Chu Yiqing asked Yingrun to take charge of the Chu Mansion.
The old family members were called over. When Chu Yiqing went back, Shi's family had already brought lotus and peony, and the three maids Peony were busy. The dumplings with leek, eggs and three fresh meats were also filled with half a bamboo embryo.
!
Seeing Chu Yiqing come back, the Shi family hurriedly took the three of them to greet Chu Yiqing.
"Have you ever saluted the old lady?" Chu Yiqing asked quietly.
"Go and see the old lady as soon as you get here. Don't worry, miss!" Mr. Shi said quickly.
Chu Yiqing nodded, then smiled and said: "I'm going to trouble you all this year. The wedding is in a hurry, and the New Year things haven't been properly prepared. I really don't know where to start!"
Everyone Shi quickly said: "Don't worry, Miss, we will do our best!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and warned: "It's just that there is an old lady living in the house. This person is old and pays more attention to things. If you are not sure, just ask the old lady!"
After all, the Shi family has lived in a wealthy family. After hearing what Chu Yiqing said, he understood the meaning and quickly nodded and said: "The slaves understand!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and let them go about their work.
After sending the people away, Chu Yiqing took Yingqian to a vacant room in the backyard. According to the proportions, he mixed saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal into black gunpowder, and then placed it in a bamboo tube to make a simple rattle.
.
In the room at this moment, Concubine Qing was reading a Buddhist scripture. Listening to the bustle outside, she couldn't help but feel a little yearning.
"Concubine, let's go, let's watch people set off the war. Yiqing did it himself!" Li Huang came in with A Bao and said happily.
Concubine Qing was taken aback and asked, "Did she do it herself? She is almighty and can even do the ring battle. You said she was from the Duke Protector's Palace. I really don't believe it!"
"Grandma, my mother is so smart, she knows everything! Moreover, this ring is the raw material that my mother and father went to several places to get. Grandma, let's go and have a look!" Abao stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Qing.
The arm said.
Qing Fei had no choice but to leave the room with Abao.
There was a large charcoal stove in the courtyard. Er Wen was holding a charcoal stove. When he saw that everyone was gathered, he was about to throw it into the stove, but was stopped by Chu Yiqing.
"Erwen, this war is more powerful than the previous one, and there is also a fire sign on it. Just throw it there far away and light the fire sign with incense. Remember to run away as soon as you light it!" Chu
Yiqing warned.
Erwen smiled and said: "Young madam, I used to play the trumpet in the house. You are worried, I have a lot of experience!" He said, and threw the trumpet on the charcoal basin.
"Run!" Seeing Erwen standing still, Chu Yiqing shouted quickly. As soon as the peanuts fell, he heard a snap, and all the charcoal in the charcoal stove burst out. Fortunately, Chu Yiqing let him go before
If someone stops you, stay away from the charcoal basin, otherwise something will happen!
"Oh my god!" Erwen was the closest, and with a sudden loud noise, he squatted on the ground, and his clothes started to burn because of the charcoal.
"Quick!" Chu Yiqing hurriedly asked someone to put out the fire.
"What do you mean, setting off a war during the Chinese New Year almost killed someone!" Concubine Qing said with some displeasure. After making sure that Erwen was fine, she said: "This war is too dangerous. Let's set it off quickly. Don't do it."
Let it go again!"
Li Huang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Mother, I have never heard such a loud noise. It's just because I didn't listen clearly and didn't find the right way. Why don't I make one!"
Concubine Qing quickly stopped her: "What if I injure you again? That's all, once it rings, it's a sound. I don't want to see it anymore!" Concubine Qing said and quickly asked Lu Ping to help her in.
