"Xiao Ji, how is the preparation in the kitchen?" Wang asked.

"Ma'am, don't worry, Long'er is watching over there, the young master will be fine."

"Oh, this Jing'er, just like his father, likes to make messy things and have some fresh ideas in his mind. It seems that this year's New Year's Eve will be much more lively than in previous years." Wang said with emotion Said.

"Yes, ma'am, look, the servants in the house are all very happy, and they are working much harder than before." Xiaoji smiled and said: "Madam, it's almost time, let's go to the conference room to have a look "Xiaoji couldn't bear it for a long time, and wanted to go there earlier to see how the meeting room was arranged. After all, like Xuan Shijing, it was the first time in Datang that everyone gathered together to watch the new year. .

"Little girl, you are anxious to see it yourself, and you still want to drag me." Wang smiled and nodded Xiaoji's head.

"Oh, ma'am, don't you have any curiosity at all?" Xiaoji pouted and looked at Mrs. Wang.

"Okay, okay, let's go, bring these things, let's go to the meeting room." Wang also had some hopes and expectations for the New Year's Eve that Xuan Shijing will organize this year.

Red lanterns are hung everywhere in the Hou Mansion, and they are lit as soon as it gets dark. At this time, the Hou Mansion is shrouded in a warm atmosphere with red lights, which makes people feel festive.

Wang and Xiaoji walked through the corridor and saw the meeting room from a distance. There were two huge red lanterns hanging at the door of the meeting room. Inside were huge butter candles the size of a baby's arms, illuminating the entire courtyard much brighter.

At this time, the conference room was almost cleaned up, and we were waiting for the dishes to be served in the kitchen. The dinner began. Mrs. Wang led Xiao Ji into the conference room, and his eyes lit up. The thick blanket on the floor was soft and comfortable, and the huge The long wooden table is placed in the center of the room, surrounded by charcoal stoves, and huge tallow candles are lit on the wooden frame against the wall, illuminating the whole room brightly.

"Ma'am, the floor of this meeting room is covered with thick blankets, and the room is very warm with a burning charcoal basin. The young master said that people who come in have to sit on the floor, so it is better to take off their shoes as much as possible. The master has already ordered , prepared slippers for us." Zhong Zishuo walked over, picked up a pair of slippers from the ground, and placed them at Wang's feet.

"Zi Shuo, what are slippers?" Wang looked at the pair of "slippers" on the ground that had no upper, only the sole and the front half of the upper.

"Young Master ordered Xiao Huan to make this this afternoon, because there was no time to get the soles. These soles were bought in a tailor's shop. Master Hou said that in the future, our house will be equipped with a pair of these shoes. It's comfortable to wear after returning to the room at night, and it's convenient to get up at night." Zhong Zishuo explained.

"Oh, that's right." Wang motioned for Xiao Huan to support her and put on the slippers.

Xiao Huan handed the tray in her hand to Zhong Zishuo, helped Wang take off her shoes, put on slippers, and stepped on the ground twice.

"Not to mention, these slippers are really comfortable to wear."

Xiaoji also put on slippers, followed Mrs. Wang, came to the front of the table, and sat down. At this time, there were only some fruits and tableware on the table. Looking at the big table, Xiaoji felt a burst of excitement in her heart. Soon, Someone brought the wine over, and more than 20 small white porcelain wine glasses were neatly placed on a tray and brought in and placed on the table. Jugs, along with the previous wine glasses, were scattered around the table.

After a while, Gao Jun and another servant brought in the grill and put it beside the window. The people following behind were holding trays with various meat skewers in their hands. Soon, a piece of grill was added beside the window. On the small table, meat skewers and other things are placed on it. The family put a few pieces of charcoal from the charcoal stove into the grill to ignite, and opened a gap in the window to let out the smoke from the grill. .

In order to have an indoor barbecue in winter, Xuan Shijing also tried his best, for fear that there would be carbon monoxide poisoning if there was too much carbon in the house, and this year would not be over.

In the kitchen, Xuan Shijing was still thinking about what to add to the dishes. At first, Wang Er and Long'er were busy, but later they couldn't handle it, so they called Wang Er's mother-in-law to help, let alone , Wang and Wang seem to be honest, and the wife they married is really not bad, with quick hands and feet, the key is that her brain is still clever, she can understand what Xuan Shijing orders, even if she can't understand, she will always be obedient, Wang Er's wife originally followed Wang Er to do some chores in the mansion. Wang Er was in charge of the kitchen, and his wife would occasionally help out and go shopping.

"Aunt Liu, let's work in the Hou's mansion from now on, the salary is the same as Wang Er's, how about it?" Xuan Shijing said, the mansion in the Hou's mansion will become less and less enough, and now there are people who can use it, not to mention, Husband and wife match, work is not tiring.

"It's a good relationship, and this is the place where the woman thanked Lord Hou." Mrs. Liu was very happy when she heard that she could stay in the mansion to work for odd wages.

"Long'er, let's see what else is missing? It's getting late, let's serve the food quickly." Xuan Shijing said.

Long'er looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, and said, "Master Hou, there is nothing missing, and the dishes can be served."

"Okay, order the food, Long'er, let's go, go to the meeting room." After finishing speaking, Xuan Shijing washed his hands with clean water from the wooden basin beside him, and led Long'er to the meeting room.

Listening to the sound of explosions outside, Xuan Shijing really felt the charm of the Tang Dynasty New Year this time. For a long time, Xuan Shijing felt that his soul was out of tune with this Tang Dynasty, and the loneliness in his heart was beyond words , finally today, Xuan Shijing discovered that he had integrated into the Tang Dynasty, and used some habits and creations of later generations to allow the Hou Mansion to have a different New Year. Xuan Shijing had an incomparable sense of accomplishment in his heart. This sense of accomplishment Make him feel fulfilled and happy.

Entering the meeting room, Xuan Shijing took off his shoes without even wearing slippers, walked to Wang's side, and knelt down.

"Happy New Year's greetings to my mother, I wish my mother all wishes come true in the new year, everything goes well, and you become younger and younger!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times to Mrs. Wang.

"Okay, Jing'er, get up quickly, your mouth has become sweeter this Chinese New Year." Wang Shi smiled from ear to ear: "Come, sit by your mother's side."

Sitting down next to Wang Shi, Xuan Shijing said to Wang Shi laughingly: "Mother, look, this is a big Chinese New Year, and my son has paid New Year greetings to you, why don't you express it."

"Oh? What does it mean?" Wang pretended not to understand.

"That's right. That. The red envelope." Xuan Shijing rubbed his thumb, index finger and middle finger at Wang Shi with a sneaky look on his face.

"You, little slicker." Wang scolded with a smile, "I prepared it for you a long time ago."

Wang Shi turned around and took out a red brocade bag embroidered with yellow blessing characters from the tray carried by Xiaoji and handed it to Xuan Shijing: "Hey, this is for you, don't mess around." Wang Shi knew that Xuan Shijing He won't spend money recklessly, if he spends money, he can control the money earned by the whole food shop, it's just a habitual order.

"Yes, yes, my child knows." Xuan Shijing smiled and took the lucky money that belonged to her, and put it in her arms.
