The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1118 New Year's Eve
"Oh? What is it that makes my husband so emotional?" Jin Yang asked.

"I remember very clearly what happened back then. Xuan Lindao is not a bad person by nature, but the daughter-in-law he married was so capable of telling stories. This matter was all caused by his daughter-in-law. In the end, it hurt everyone. Xuan Lindao harmed Xuan Qing." Xuan Shijing said.

Regarding the matter between Xuan Lindao's wife and the two brothers of the Xuan family, Wang also mentioned that when Xuan Lindao's wife married Xuan Lindao, it might not be a kind of revenge for Xuan Mingde. .

This cruel woman is really scary.

"That's right, it's no wonder that the queen mother wrote a book specifically to restrain women's moral cultivation." Jin Yang nodded.

"Those things written by the queen mother, you can just read them, don't be so stupid as to take them as the truth." Xuan Shijing said: "You married me to enjoy the blessings, not to suffer."

"In the royal family, being able to marry someone you like is already a great happiness." Jin Yang said.

In a word, the heartache and helplessness of Princess Wangsun in the marriage are exhausted.

On New Year's Eve, it was only at night that it really became lively. The room that hadn't been used for a whole year was cleaned up, and long tables were placed around the room, leaving only the space at the door for people to walk. .

Now the number of people in this house is increasing year by year. The room used to be enough for a low table, but now it has become a circle. Sitting next to Shi, one on the left and one on the right, sitting in the direction of the main seat, Qin Bingyue sat beside Jinyang, Zhong Zishuo, as the chief housekeeper, sat next to Xuan Shijing, and further down were Gaojun and Shihu. , and Qiandui couple, plus Chang Le brothers.

The dishes prepared earlier were brought up one by one, and a huge stove was burning in the middle of the room, warming the wine.

This is the first time Jinyang has seen such a scene, so he has been looking forward to the vigil on the [-]th night,

"Si, in our house, every New Year's Eve vigil, everyone will gather together, lively, and the vigil is also energetic. Now that you are married into the mansion, you have also provoked the burden of being the head of the mansion. I have had many banquets, but it is always different from now, so I have to get used to it."

Mrs. Wang was afraid that Jinyang was of noble birth and would not be used to sitting with these servants in the house, so she gave such consolation.

"Mother, don't worry, my son is fine, but I still have a lot to look forward to." Jin Yang said with a smile.

In the past, the Wang family prepared the interest alone. After Xuan Shijing became an adult, Xuan Shijing also began to prepare. Therefore, at the thirtieth year, the servants of the family could get two red envelopes. I prepared one, so this year, there are three red envelopes in one night, which can be worth this year's wages.

"That's good." There was a smile on Wang's face. For this daughter-in-law, Wang still likes her. Regardless of her status as a princess, she is also generous and decent in her conduct, which is very different from other princesses in the royal family. , There is no princess's squeamish temper.

When Wang Gui's son came back from marrying the princess, he turned the whole Wang family upside down, but Wang Gui was the stronger one, and a memorial was sent to His Majesty Li Er, and then it stopped.

Red lanterns have long been hung in the mansion of the Hou Mansion. There are everywhere in the mansion. As soon as it gets dark, the giant butter candles inside are lit, illuminating the whole mansion brightly red, very festive.

The dishes on the table were also served, and the drinks were filled up. Everyone sat down, knelt on the cushions, and bowed to Wang Shi and Xuan Shijing and his wife for a hundred years.

The auspicious words in the mouth continued to flow, and after the formal salute and kneeling, it was time to distribute the interest that everyone was looking forward to.

Several servants in the mansion lifted up all three large boxes, among which was the interest money prepared by the three of them.

After distributing them one by one, the rest are the bonuses for the few people who have contributed more to the Hou Mansion, and this is distributed for them by the Patriarch Xuan Shijing himself.

"Our Hou's mansion can have a good life today, and we don't have to worry about eating and drinking. The treasurer's money pile is indispensable." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Qiandui, come, now you are also a father, supporting your family It's not easy, you have worked so hard for the Hou's Mansion, this is yours." Xuan Shijing took out a few pieces of paper from the tray in the hands of the maid beside her, and handed it to Qiandui.

"The chamber of commerce in the Hou Mansion will benefit from you starting next year." Xuan Shijing said.

"Master Hou, this, no!" Qian Dui quickly refused.

The money pile belongs to the big treasurer of the chamber of commerce. Naturally, he knows how much money the prosperous Tang chamber of commerce earns. Even if it is only a [-] percent profit, it is enough to cover the annual income of some honorable families in Chang'an City. What is his money pile? He Neng, even though he is the name of the big shopkeeper, he is nothing more than a servant of the Hou Mansion. "

"You deserve it. In addition, Uncle Qian is getting older, and he may have to take care of himself in the future. Yuxin and your two children need money everywhere. A man needs to carry the family. , give them the best life, understand?" Xuan Shijing looked at Qiandui with a serious face and said: "Take it!"

After Xuan Shijing finished speaking, without waiting for Qiandui's reaction, he directly stuffed the few pieces of paper in his hand into Qiandui's arms.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Qian Dui knelt on the soft couch, respectfully kowtowed to Xuan Shijing, and Qin Bingyue, who was beside her, also brought her two children to salute Xuan Shijing.

"Okay, we are all one family, don't be hypocritical." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Next, Gao Jun, sister Long'er." Xuan Shijing looked at the two with a smile on his face: "You two have been watching since childhood. Watching me grow up, in the past year, I have also become a family, and you are also full of harmony, and the second baby will come out after a while, this is for you, and it is also for the child who will be born of."

Long'er and Gao Jun's second child is already five months old, and it will be born in early spring after the Chinese New Year.

What Xuan Shijing prepared for Gao Jun and his wife was a long life lock made of pure gold, a pair of gold bracelets, and a string of jade beads. I heard that jade can ward off evil spirits and support people, so Xuan Shijing is also very fond of the soon-to-be born. A blessing for children.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." The couple saluted Xuan Shijing with presents.

"Shihu, Xiaoji." Xuan Shijing looked at the two of them: "Ordinary Shihu has been in the army, and Xiaoji has always been taking care of the family. Shihu, although the man is famous, but he doesn't care about his family, why are you here? In the future, if you have nothing to do in the army, if you have the opportunity to go back to Zhuangzi to have a look, or if you are tired of staying outside, just say, I will find someone to transfer you back to Chang'an, guarding the house, and Xiaoji and Niang will not have to worry about you all day Worry."

"Yes." Shi Hu replied.

Today's Shi Hu is also a member of the fourth generation. Although he has made achievements in the army, there is no room for development at the top. Who makes Shi Hu not like reading?
