This New Year's Eve dinner is of extraordinary significance to a family of five.
"Dad, during the Chinese New Year these years, who did you spend the Chinese New Year with? With your father?" Xiao An asked curiously.
Wei Zijun never expected that his child would ask such a question, and it was too late to stop him.
Although the family has been reunited, Wei Zijun still blames himself for the children's father.
Especially, the more I see him doting on his three children, the deeper the guilt and self-blame I feel.
"Most of them were with Zhuo Yan and the others, and only a few were in the capital." He Zexu noticed his wife's discomfort and told his son with a smile.
"Oh, Dad, when you and Zhuo Yan have New Year's Eve dinner together, do you want to give them New Year's money?" Xiao An asked seriously.
"New Year's money? They are all adults, don't need to give it to them, right?" When He Zexu said this, he suddenly realized something and looked at Wei Zijun aside. Seeing the smile on her face, he also laughed.
Wei Zijun took out three purses embroidered with the word "Fu" that he had prepared a long time ago and handed them to the three children respectively.
"Thank you, mother." The three children happily took it and looked at He Zexu in unison.
He Zexu smiled and opened his robe, took out three purses and handed them to the three children respectively.
"Hey, dad really prepared new year's money for us." Ruyi said in surprise.
Xiao An and Xiao Le looked at their mother together. Wei Zijun smiled and shook his head: "Don't look at me. I really didn't tell him, nor did I give any hints or reminders."
The three siblings still looked at their father in disbelief, feeling a little unbelievable.
"Don't look at your mother. She really didn't tell me. Dad thought of it himself." He Zexu told him proudly.
In fact, he really wanted to say that when he was young and his mother-in-law was still there, she would also give him lucky money on New Year's Eve.
However, he was afraid that telling them this would affect the children's mood.
"Wow, what daddy gave is gold." Xiao An felt that the purse her father gave was much heavier than what her mother gave, so she opened it and took a look at the golden bag, and immediately told her younger siblings in surprise.
Xiaole and Ruyi also quickly opened their purses and poured out two gold ingots.
Even though they were the children of the Lord of Six Cities, they had seen Jin Yuanbao, but they had never had one themselves. Their mother had never given them such a thing.
"Thank you, dad." The three children were very happy, but Wei Zijun and his wife knew that the children were not happy because the new year's money given by their father was gold ingots.
"Ruyi, come into the house with mother." Wei Zijun called.
"Okay." Ruyi didn't know why her mother called her to come in, but she still responded and entered the room.
When he saw a dress hanging on the hanger, his mouth opened wide and he looked at Wei Zijun in disbelief: "Mother, is this for me?"
Wei Zijun smiled and nodded: "Hurry up and put it on to see if it still fits you."
"Yeah." Ruyi immediately started to take off his men's clothes, his hands were shaking a little because of the excitement, which made Wei Zijun feel sad.
After she was dressed neatly, Wei Zijun led his daughter to the dressing table and sat down. He untied the boy's bun and combed his temples.
Then he took out a big box from the cabinet of the dressing table. When he opened it, it was filled with hair accessories worn by girls.
"Mother, are these all for your daughter?" Ruyi looked through them happily.
"Yes, my mother prepared them all for you, and I will buy more for you in the future." Wei Zijun said as he picked out a few small beads and placed them on his daughter's bun to see the effect.
These are all things I bought over the past ten years or so when I came across something good-looking.
There are actually two big boxes in the cabinet.
I just thought that one day my daughter would be able to wear women's clothes and dress her up well.
After a while, I was dressed up.
Wei Zijun stepped back and looked at her daughter who looked like a little fairy. Because Ruyi had the same blood as her, she was very afraid that her daughter would be known by the Wei family and the Qi family. Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, even if she knew that her daughter wanted to wear women's clothes,
She had to be so cruel that she didn't even dare to let her child wear it secretly for fun.
This is the first time my daughter has worn women's clothing at the age of fourteen.
"Mother, is my daughter good-looking?" Ruyi, who was already excited, looked at Wei Zijun with tears in his eyes. Knowing that her mother was blaming herself, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Wei Zijun nodded: "My daughter is naturally beautiful, as beautiful as the fairy in the painting."
"Mom, can I let my father and two brothers see me? Let them see me wearing women's clothes, and then change them out." Ruyi thought for a moment and discussed softly.
"Of course it's okay. You can keep wearing it tonight." Looking at his daughter's expectant eyes and voice, Wei Zijun almost said, from now on, you can always eat and wear women's clothes and never have to wear men's clothes again.
.
However, her remaining sense reminded her not to say such things.
Especially now that several groups of people from the Wei and Qi royal families have arrived.
Obviously, they won't give up until they take her back.
At this moment, Wei Zijun suddenly thought, otherwise, would he cheat his death again? Will the Wei family and the Qi family completely give up?
"Wow, that's great, mother. Mother, please go and help your daughter see if there is anyone else in the yard." Ruyi's voice made Wei Zijun put away his distracting thoughts.
Wei Zijun told: "No need, there are only five members of my family in this courtyard tonight."
"Then, my daughter really went out?" Ruyi still couldn't believe it and pointed in the direction of the door.
Wei Zijun tried his best to smile and nodded to encourage his daughter, but his heart ached.
Seeing Ruyi, she took a very excited step and walked towards the door. The moment she raised her hand to push the door open, she turned back to look at her.
Wei Zijun raised his feet and walked over, but instead of opening the door for his daughter, he continued to encourage her with his eyes.
Ruyi tried her best to suppress her excitement, gently opened the door, and stepped out of the threshold.
She obviously wanted to appear in front of her father and two brothers immediately and let them see how her daughter was pretending, but her pace was very slow.
Wei Zijun followed closely, telling himself in his heart that he must not let his daughter continue to feel so wronged.
In the hall, the father and son playing chess all knew what the mother and daughter were doing, so the chess players were not focused, and the spectators frequently raised their heads and looked toward the door.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, the father and son looked over at the same time.
The next moment, a beautiful girl wearing women's clothing appeared in front of her.
The pink double-breasted cotton skirt has rabbit fur edges at the skirt and cuffs, and the wide belt around the waist is also edged with rabbit fur.
I saw her innocent expression, flushed cheeks, and beautiful face despite her young age. She was even more beautiful than the fairy in the painting, like a pearl.
"Wow, sister, you are so beautiful." Xiao An was the first to react and stepped forward to greet her...
