After running down the first day of junior high school, Xiao Nianzhi felt that he was more tired than attending a palace banquet.
However, the atmosphere is good, except that the weather is a bit cold.
During the Chinese New Year, although there are all kinds of delicacies, for Beijing, dumplings are the main theme.
So, dumplings on the first day of the new year.
Second grade dumplings.
Dumplings on the third day of the lunar new year.
…
Well, I ate it until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Xiao Nianzhi ate from his own home to Xiao Mansion, and then to his grandfather's home.
Finally, we went to Prince Wei’s Mansion and Prince Kang’s Mansion.
The main dishes are all dumplings.
Although the side dishes are rich, but...
Dumplings, dumplings!
Is this an inevitable fate?
Xiao Nianzhi felt that he should be thankful that thanks to the construction of the glass greenhouse, the fillings of the dumplings could be richer.
Otherwise, it would be either radish or cabbage. Xiao Nianzhi simply couldn’t think of how to eat the dumplings from the first to the seventh day of the lunar new year.
Maybe they just eat without making a sound!
On the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, there is still one day left before the upper limit.
Isatis came over early in the morning and asked Xiao Nianzhi what he wanted to eat for lunch.
I already asked about the morning meal last night, lotus seed porridge, with steamed buns and side dishes.
It tastes quite light and delicious.
As for lunch?
Xiao Nianzhi's first thought was: Let's make it lighter?
During the Chinese New Year, in addition to dumplings, there are all kinds of meat.
She even got some beef!!!
Yes, beef!
Because he was killed by the royal family, some were given to the clan members, and some were given to the courtiers who had made great contributions to the court last year.
Xiao Nianzhi was the one who made a contribution.
So, she got five pounds of beef brisket.
Then Xiao Nianzhi ate up the five kilograms of beef brisket.
After Yan Xingxuan finished eating, he also brought over his portion of beef.
Xiao Nianzhi, who ate all kinds of meat every day, felt that he was three feet away from him. Maybe it was just the distance between his fingers?
So, light, must be light!
Before he told Isatis, Chang Shan came back from the front yard in a hurry.
Normally, Chang Shan rarely comes to the backyard when nothing happens, and for most things, he can just send a servant over to talk to him.
Now that he came in person, Xiao Nianzhi was shocked.
She was still sitting, but subconsciously stood up.
After Chang Shan came over, he saluted first and then said quickly: "Sir, Captain Guo has entered the city. As soon as the city gate opened in the morning, he came back with his people!"
Xiao Nianzhi didn't realize at first who Captain Guo was.
Or Isatis said happily: "The eldest girl of the Guo family is back?"
Xiao Nianzhi suddenly realized that after going to the border, Guo Sixue had made great progress and was now a fourth-grade Cavalry Commander.
Hearing that the person was back, Xiao Nianzhi didn't care about what to eat for lunch, and signaled Isatis to quickly prepare clothes: "Quick, quick, quick, I'm going to the Guo Mansion."
Because Guo Sixue came back injured, her first stop was definitely to go back to Guo Mansion for treatment.
Later, we will consider whether we should go to the palace to report on our work.
Your Majesty is not that kind of rigid king, and he already knew about Guo Sixue's injury and did not care about such a trivial matter.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi decided to go to Guo Mansion first.
Guo Sixue, who she had been worrying about for the entire Spring Festival, was finally back.
Xiao Nianzhi felt that he had to go and see what kind of injuries she suffered?
However, the carriages and horses were traveling slowly on the return journey, presumably because they could not bear the bumps, so the injuries may not be serious.
During the Chinese New Year, Xiao Nianzhi even prayed to gods and Buddhas, just asking Guo Sixue not to be missing arms or legs!
Xiao Nianzhi quickly packed up and rushed directly to the Guo Mansion with the gifts he had prepared early in the morning.
Because the New Year has not yet come, there are very few shops open on the street, only a few here and there, and there are not many pedestrians. Everyone is celebrating the New Year in the mansion.
The process of visiting relatives has ended a few days ago, and everyone is enjoying the last holiday at home these days.
Therefore, there are not many people, so Changshan can speed up a little bit.
It’s good that Xiao Nianzhi doesn’t feel uncomfortable with the bumps!
Yan Xingxuan also heard the news at about the same time, and he naturally guessed that Xiao Nianzhi would definitely go and see it.
If the relationship was just a good friend, Xiao Nianzhi might not be particularly anxious.
However, now that they are cousins, it is impossible for Xiao Nianzhi not to go there!
Therefore, Yan Xingxuan simply packed up, took the gifts, and went straight to Xiao Nianzhi's side.
He calculated that Xiao Nianzhi had to run to Guo Mansion after getting the news, so Yan Xingxuan deliberately chose the nearest route.
The two of them met halfway and didn't have time to exchange more greetings, so they chose to go there together.
Many people have heard the news, but few are as quick as Xiao Nianzhi.
Naturally, Feng Mansion sent people over immediately.
The Meng family also sent people over, but at a slower pace and they are still on the way.
Xiao Nianzhi just came over to pay New Year greetings two days ago. Now that he came over, the doorman hurriedly invited people in, and then he found...
His Royal Highness the King of Wei is also here.
Good, he should have thought of it earlier.
These two people are almost bound, and wherever they appear, they always appear in pairs!
After being invited in, other brothers were sent in to report without stopping.
The Guo family's aunt was originally dealing with the return of the Guo Sixue sisters. All the yard, matters, and even the doctor had been arranged long ago.
Now as soon as he comes back, Aunt Guo will go up to him to see what's going on.
Then I discovered...
Why?
Wasn't the eldest daughter injured?
This made Aunt Guo's heart go back a little bit, and then she saw that the only daughter left in the second brother's family, Guo Siyue, was missing an arm.
Aunt Guo’s tears suddenly fell down!
As soon as she cried, all the servants in the house couldn't control her.
The female relatives in the room burst into tears. Guo Yinghui was in the middle. Although she looked a little at a loss, her eyes were red from crying.
Hearing that Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan were coming, Aunt Guo wiped her tears and said with a choked voice: "I think about the news that I heard you were injured before. I have never been relieved. I sent people to watch the city gate every day, just to know, you
When are you coming back."
Just because he was watching every day, Xiao Nianzhi got the news as soon as Guo Sixue came back.
Guo Sixue was so uncomfortable that she wiped away tears. When she heard that her good friend had arrived, and now Xiao Nianzhi was not only a good friend, but also a cousin!
Who would have thought?
I left Beijing to fight for more than a year, and when I came back, I had a cousin!
Hey, it’s still the one you like!
Guo Sixue was a little happy, but Guo Siyue was crying because of her family.
In fact, she was still optimistic. She felt that she was just missing an arm. Compared with other soldiers who died on the battlefield, she was still alive. Such a comparison made her happiness overwhelming.
After appeasing everyone, Guo Siyue smiled heartily: "I've heard you mention it a long time ago. Think about it, now we are going to meet the real person. As we agreed, your sister is also my sister. The eldest daughter can't be kidnapped for robbing her.
