He Qingxiao's question made Xin You's eyes tremble slightly, but it was as she expected.

When Mrs. He finds out that the way she got the emperor to investigate Wanyang on his own initiative comes from "Journey to the West", he will definitely doubt Mr. Songling's true identity.

But what does it matter, since she chose to tell Mr. He about her mother, it turns out that she won the bet.

At least for now, Mr. He is someone who can be trusted.

"I don't know. Maybe."

Just as what He Qingxiao thought, in Xinyou's opinion, it is good to know each other about some things, but it would be troublesome to admit it.The matter of mother's murder will be put before that person sooner or later, and it will be very embarrassing to be caught in it as Mr. He.

"Then I say goodbye."

"I'll send you off to Mr. He."

This time He Qingxiao didn't refuse, and let Xin You send him to the gate of the corner.

The snow has not cleared everywhere, the sky is colder than yesterday, and the man in front of him is not dressed heavily.

"It's not easy to go south in today's ice and snow, Mr. He, please take care." Xin You said softly.

He Qingxiao's eyes moved, and finally he just nodded his head: "There are a lot of things in Beijing. If Miss Kou needs help, she can go to Yan Chao. He is pretty reliable."

During his trip to the south this time, most of the things that should be checked have already been checked, and most of the things he found are presented to the emperor in a fair manner.On the contrary, Miss Kou, the lotus garden banquet came into the emperor's sight, and might attract some people with ulterior motives.

"Okay, if I encounter any troubles that cannot be solved, I will go to Deputy Yan Qianhu."

Xin You watched He Qingxiao ride his horse away, then turned and walked towards Wanqingju.

The next day is New Year's Eve, Shaoqing's mansion is busy, preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner and New Year's Eve.

Duan Shaoqing specifically asked Xin You: "Master He won't come again today, will he?"

During the Chinese New Year, Jin Linwei came to the door again and again, who could bear it.

"Whether Mr. He will come, Qingqing is not sure."

Duan Shaoqing glared at the cold-hearted niece, not to mention regret in her heart.

If I had known today, this trouble should have been resolved before this girl got on the line with the one surnamed He!
Duan Shaoqing was relieved when the whole family gathered at Ruyi Hall for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Because of Xinyou's angry donation of 5 taels for the disaster-stricken area in Dingbei, the old lady has been displeased with her granddaughter these days, until Xinyou's lotus garden banquet, and the reward from the palace was sent to Shaoqing's mansion.

"Why didn't Qingqing wear the golden hairpin given by the emperor?" the old lady asked with a smile.

Xin You smiled: "I plan to confess it and make it a family heirloom."

The old lady froze.

There is nothing wrong with these words, but they sound inexplicably harsh, as if they don't want to see the gift from the imperial court.

It must be her illusion.

After the reunion dinner, the old lady gave lucky money to her grandchildren.

The New Year's money in ordinary people is mainly for auspiciousness and celebration. Most of them are copper coins strung with red strings, and there are many kinds of money for wealthy families.

In recent years, the old lady has given her grandchildren auspicious objects made of gold, such as gold fish, golden peanuts, golden gourds, round money engraved with good luck, etc.

Xin You and the others all got a plain pouch containing lucky money, and thanked the old lady one after another.

Back at Wanqingju, Xin You opened the purse and poured it out, and poured out a pile of small gold.

"Girl, this year's lucky money is more than before!" Xiao Lian exclaimed.

The little girl's eyes had been opened long ago, and what surprised her was not the gold, but the old lady's actions.

Obviously the girl and the old lady did not give in at all when they confronted each other, and often made the old lady tremble with anger. Why did the old lady give the girl more New Year's money instead?

This is Xinyou's first New Year in Shaoqing's Mansion, and she has no way to compare the lucky money, so she grabs a handful and gives it to Xiaolian.

"Why did the girl give the maidservant money again?"

"This is lucky money, to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters."

When Xiaolian heard it, she happily accepted it.

Xinyou simply asked Xiaolian to call all the people from Wanqingju, and each of them gave a reward.

Jiang Shuang, who followed Xin You to the bookstore, was fine, but Mama Wang and Nanny Li, who stayed behind at Wanqingju, were simply insane with joy.

Different from the joy in Wanqingju, Duan Yunhua returned to the boudoir, opened the purse and looked cold.

It used to be gold, but this year it was replaced by silver.She is clearly engaged to Gu Changbo's son, yet her grandmother still despises her because her mother was divorced?

Although Duan Yunling was surprised for a moment, he quickly counted them carefully.

She knew that she had offended her grandmother, and her father would not really plan for her. No matter how much the money was, it would be her confidence after it was accumulated.

The fourth daughter, Duan Yunyan, still lives in the same hospital with her parents. When she saw the whitebait in her daughter's purse, Duan Wenbai asked Mrs. Zhu after taking a break, "Is the family a little nervous lately?"

He manages some of the family's properties, and his income this year is not worse than in previous years.

"It's okay, the public account is still relatively rich."

After being quiet for a long time, Zhu's voice sounded again: "It's hard to say about the old lady's private account..."

Duan Wenbai was also silent for a while, and sighed lightly: "Go to sleep, I'm still busy tomorrow."

On New Year's Eve, the lights of Wanjia were always on, and the palace was having a New Year's Eve dinner.

If it is explained that New Year's Day is a grand feast for the emperor and all officials to celebrate together, then tonight's palace banquet is a family banquet.

Concubines and concubines from all palaces gathered in the Qianqing Palace with their children, and the Empress Dowager also showed up.Those who can participate in this family banquet are Princess Zhaoyang, a pair of children, and King Xiu.

As for the other King Qing who was qualified to attend the banquet, he was still in Dingbei at this time.

There were delicacies on the dining table, but Emperor Xing Yuan was somewhat absent-minded.

"Is the emperor worried about Dingbei?" the queen mother asked.

Emperor Xingyuan came back to his senses, forced a smile: "Yes...it's the New Year's Eve, and I don't know if the people affected by the disaster have a place to live..."

In fact, his trance is not because of this.

He had a nightmare last night. In the dream, Xinxin looked at him coldly. He went to hold her hand, but saw blood and tears streaming from the corner of her eyes.

He woke up suddenly, with a splitting headache and restlessness throughout the day.

The queen mother comforted: "Didn't Yi'er go to Dingbei, and the people will definitely be resettled, so don't worry. Come, eat chicken legs."

In the blink of an eye by Emperor Xing Yuan, a big oily chicken leg fell into his bowl.

The corners of Emperor Xing Yuan's eyes twitched, and he thanked the Empress Dowager dryly, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, and with a glance, another chicken leg fell into the King Xiu's bowl.

Although this child is not liked by her son, she is her eldest grandson after all.

King Xiu hurriedly got up and thanked: "Thank you, Grandmother."

"At the family banquet, don't be restrained."

King Xiu sat down and stared down at the drumsticks, feeling a different feeling in his heart: it turned out that when the second younger brother was away, his grandmother would give him the drumsticks during Chinese New Year...

Princess Zhaoyang has complicated eyes.

I really didn't expect that what the second prince suffered in the past years, the eldest prince suffered this year.

Maybe it's hard to change the taste developed in the early years, horses, cattle, sheep and deer, there are countless delicacies at Mingming palace banquet, but the queen mother still thinks that roasted chicken legs are a good thing.

Originally, it would be good to eat some soup, water, and refreshing side dishes after the various ceremonies of worshiping ancestors and offering sacrifices on New Year's Eve. One can imagine the taste of this kind of chicken legs that have been cold at the beginning of the banquet.

Noticing her daughter's eyes, the queen mother casually said: "Tomorrow's chicken legs are for you."

Princess Zhaoyang: "..."

The previous New Year's Day was the first day of the first month.
