Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 99 Chinese New Year
  Yun Hao held the pheasant in his right hand and held Zhao Wangshu in his left hand, walking back with their fingers intertwined.

Halfway through, I met Zhao Yujia. Her clothes were thin, her face was pale, and she was in a daze.

"Sister Jia." Zhao Wangshu stopped her, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Yujia looked at her steadily and said after a long while: "Sister Shu, long time no see."

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for several months. It's so cold, why are you wearing so little? Where are you going?" Zhao Wangshu asked with concern.

"I didn't go anywhere, so I just walked around casually." Zhao Yujia twitched the corner of her mouth.

"I'll accompany you." Zhao Wangshu felt that something was wrong with her and wanted to accompany her.

Zhao Yujia shook her head gently, "No, it's so cold. You should go back quickly."

"Sister Jia, Tianhan, please put it on." Zhao Wangshu took off the cloak and handed it to Zhao Yujia.

"I'm not cold." After saying this, Zhao Yujia turned her head and sneezed three times in a row.

Zhao Wangshu helped her put on her cloak, "Sister Jia, there must be a road for cars to reach the mountain, and for boats to reach the bridge. No matter what predicament you are in, don't give up in a hurry."

Putting on the cloak, Zhao Yujia felt much warmer, "Sister Shu, if you give me the cloak, what will you do?"

Zhao Wangshu lifted up Yun Hao's cloak and got in, "That's enough."

"Sister Shu, please go back quickly. I'll be home in a moment." Zhao Yujia smiled softly.

Seeing Yun Hao hugging Zhao Wangshu and leaving, Zhao Yujia said silently, "Sister Shu, you must be happy!"

As soon as Zhao Wangshu entered the house, he shouted: "Grandma, Yun Hao caught a pheasant."

Mrs. Zhao Cui, who was in the kitchen watching the cook preparing New Year's Eve dishes, came out and said, "This pheasant looks quite fat. I can't cook it today. I'll fry it for you tomorrow."

Zhao Wangshu asked Yun Hao to put the pheasant in the chicken coop at the back.

Today’s New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous, with everything from chicken, duck, and fish.

The family sat down together, and Mrs. Zhao Cui picked up the wine glass, "Today is New Year's Eve, reunion night, everyone should have a good time."

After everyone finished drinking, she handed the chicken head to Zhao Yin, "The chicken head is a good sign. It will be the best in spring next year."

"Thank you grandma, my grandson will live up to your expectations." Zhao Yin knew that although he was talented, he still needed to work harder if he wanted to stand out in the imperial examination.

Mrs. Zhao Cui gave the chicken wings to Zhao Wangshu and Yun Hao respectively, "Chicken wings means spreading your wings and flying high. I wish you can fly thousands of miles away."

Chicken wings are also called phoenix wings, a pair of wings, which also means Luan couple and Phoenix couple.

"Thank you, grandma." Yun Hao and Zhao Wangshu smiled.

She put the chicken breast to Zhao Cheng and said, "May you be successful in the coming spring and be on the list."

"Thank you, mother."

Mrs. Zhao Cui took a chicken leg and gave it to Mrs. Zhao Li, "The prosperity of the family and everything depends on the efforts of women. You have worked hard this year."

"Thank you, mother."

She put the other chicken leg in her bowl, "Okay, eat it."

Only then did a few people use their chopsticks. The food was delicious and the wine was fragrant.

Zhao Wangshu doesn't drink well, so she was the only one drinking the sweet and sour orange juice. "What are you looking at me for? Do you want to taste my juice?"

With that said, she brought the cup to Yun Hao's mouth.

Yun Hao, by some strange mistake, did not say his rejection, but lowered his head and bit the rim of the cup.

Zhao Wangshu raised his hand slightly and fed the juice into his mouth.

The four people at the table stared blankly at the interaction between the two. Zhao Cui and Zhao Cheng didn't say anything. Zhao Yin muttered, "Yue'er, you're drunk even if you haven't drank."

Everyone enjoyed this New Year's Eve dinner very happily. After dinner, Zhao Wangshu pulled Yun Hao and Zhao Yin and said, "Let's set off fireworks for Grandma and Mom and Dad."

"Obviously you like to play." With that said, Zhao Yin went to light three incense sticks, one for each person.

"It sounds like you don't like to play." Zhao Wangshu made a face at him.

They came outside and lit the fireworks with burning incense.

"Whoosh - bang -" With a loud noise, fireworks bloomed in the night sky, colorful and dazzling.

"So beautiful!" Zhao Wangshu smiled happily.

"It's beautiful." Yun Hao turned to look at Zhao Wangshu, his eyes full of tenderness, "This is the most beautiful firework I have ever seen."

Zhao Wangshu heard the deep affection in his words and smiled sweetly at him, "Can we set off fireworks together every year from now on?"

Yun Hao looked at her with even more tenderness in his eyes, "Okay, let's set off fireworks together every year."

Zhao Yin looked at the interaction between the two, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He was happy for his sister's happiness. He looked up at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky, hoping to meet the person who could set off fireworks with him soon.

Zhao Cui and Zhao Cheng walked out of the house and saw the fireworks in the sky. Zhao Cui smiled and said, "These fireworks are so beautiful."

After setting off the fireworks, they returned to the house and drank tea around the fire, chatting and staying up late.

When it's time to get up, we step on the pine branches to catch the gods. Each person has a bowl of noodles, and then goes to bed after eating.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, after eating dumplings, Zhao Yin took Zhao Wangshu out to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the clan.

Yun Hao's status was undecided, so he stayed at home to accompany the three elders to wipe the cards.

When the Zhao brothers and sisters walked to Yanhe Street, they met Zhao Yuzhen and Zhao Yuying.

Seeing tears on their faces, Zhao Wangshu's heart skipped a beat. Why were they crying during the Chinese New Year?

Zhao Yuzhen immediately told her the bad news, "Sister Shu, sister Jia is dead."

"Impossible, I saw her yesterday."

"Sister Jia committed suicide by hanging from a beam last night." Zhao Yuying said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Impossible, impossible, I don't believe it, I don't believe it." Zhao Wangshu said he didn't believe it, but he already believed it in his heart.

She, Zhao Yuzhen, and Zhao Yuying went to Zhao Yujia's home.

Before she entered the door, she heard Zhao Yujia's mother crying, "My Chun Niang, you just left as you said, how will your mother live in the future! My Chun Niang, my son, God!" .”

Zhao Wangshu burst into tears. She had obviously hinted at Zhao Yujia yesterday, so why did she still commit suicide?

Zhao Shuhui and the others also rushed over after hearing the news. When they entered the house, they saw Zhao Yujia being placed on the door panel. She was wearing new clothes, but her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she had no breath.

The person supporting Zhao Yujia and her mother was her aunt. She also cried: "Chun Niang, why are you so stubborn? Let your parents send the white-haired person to the black-haired person."

When Zhao Yujia's father saw Zhao Yuzhen and the others, he rushed over and asked, "What happened in the city that made Chun Niang so confused that she wanted to commit suicide?"

Zhao Yuzhen and others opened their mouths but stopped talking.

"The old lady of the mansion promised Sister Jia to a scumbag." Zhao Wangshu said with a cold face.

Zhao Yujia's father thought for a moment and understood what scum meant, "Is what Xiao Yue'er said true?"

Zhao Yuzhen and others remained silent. Zhao Wangshu said in a deep voice: "If you don't save other people's homes when there is a fire, then no one will save you when your own home is on fire."

The words were very straightforward, and Zhao Yuzhen and others understood them. They spoke one after another, and found out about Wang Fu's situation. Zhao Yujia's parents broke down and cried.

　Sorry, my mother has Alzheimer's disease and went to help her change her clothes. Please forgive me for the late update.
