Because the old man's condition worsened, many things were kept simple on New Year's Eve.

This year's reunion dinner, the third master of the Liu family and Liu Yanxiang were missing. As for Deng Ning, Liu Qi went to pick her up. Deng Ning wanted to come back a long time ago, but she owed a step down.Now Liu Qi came to pick her up in person, and she took Joe for a while, then packed her things for Liu Qi and left.

Before leaving, Liu Qi took Deng Ning to thank Wang Xiangjun.Wang Xiangjun told Liu Qi to take good care of Deng Ning, and took out a piece of clothing, saying that Deng Ning made it for him when he was in the prime minister's mansion. Liu Qi was a little moved, but when he saw Deng Ning's surprised expression, he knew Wang Xiangjun just wanted to say good things for Deng Ning.This dress was not made by Deng Ning.

But Liu Qi has also matured a lot, he didn't point it out, just smiled and thanked, and left with Deng Ning.

After the two left, Wang Xiangjun's maid asked, "Miss, you obviously made the clothes for Mr. Xiang, why do you say that Mrs. Deng gave them to Mr. Liu?"

Wang Xiangjun leaned on the imperial concubine's couch and sighed: "Although Liu Qi is young and vigorous, he is still a good husband. Ning'er is not sensible and doesn't know how to cherish. As a righteous sister, I just help her."

"Miss is so kind to Miss Deng!" the maid said softly.

There was a slight smile on the corner of Wang Xiangjun's mouth, "Well, she is my sister, and I should treat her well."

The maid smiled and said: "That's right, the righteous sister is also a younger sister, and the Prime Minister also dotes on Miss Deng very much."

Wang Xiangjun was silent.

The reunion dinner was ready, but the butler came to report that the old man hadn't woken up yet, so Yan Hui ordered someone to heat up the food first, and eat it after the old man woke up.

Sitting in the main hall, Liu Qin looked at the big family and said with great emotion: "This year's New Year's Eve is the most peaceful and peaceful year!"

Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but think back to the reunion dinner in the past. There was a lot of chaos, either you were mean to me or I scolded you, tit for tat, swords and swords.

Everyone was sitting with their own thoughts, Yin Le was sitting on a chair, and Shoutou was sitting on a small stool. He had contracted a cold a few days ago and he still hasn't recovered, so he put his head on Yin Le's lap, his eyes bleary.

He raised his head, "Sister, I'm a little confused."

Yin Le was slightly stunned, "Why is your head confused? Is it because your head is uncomfortable?"

Shoutou rubbed his eyes and said, "I don't know why I'm confused, but when I think about things, things become messy."

Yin Le stretched out his hand and touched his head, he was startled, his head was scorching hot, he quickly hugged his face and said: "You have a fever."

"I know!" Shoutou smiled confusedly, "Sister, I saw that you have four eyes and two mouths..." Before he finished speaking, he tilted and fell down.

Mo Yan rushed out to ask for a doctor, Liu An stepped forward, picked up Shoutou and ran back to the room.Everyone hurriedly followed to check.

Yin Le stood in the main hall in a daze, looking at the expressions of concern on everyone's faces, whether it was pretending or genuine, she was inexplicably moved at the moment. 】

Standing behind Yin Le, Deng Ning looked at her with some resentment. Of course, she would not be so stupid that she would take the initiative to tease this lioness.In addition to her resentment towards Yin Le, she also had a trace of fear.

Lin Haihai came and prescribed medicine for Shoutou, and Xiaoxiang immediately went down to decoct the medicine before the old man woke up.

It was almost midnight when the old man woke up slowly. He saw that the sky outside was sinking, the candle with his thick arm was burning, and the charcoal in the charcoal plate was crackling. He called out, "Little bamboo!"

The servant Xiao Zhuzi hurried over and said softly, "Old Master, are you awake?"

"Well, what time is it?" The old man felt better, and stood up on the edge of the bed. Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Be careful. It's time, everyone is waiting for you to have a reunion dinner!"

The old man's spirit was lifted suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Quick, get me some water to wash my face, and bring me the new clothes that Grandma Fifth made for me!"

After Xiao Zhuzi helped him up, he went out and called for someone to come in and serve him.

The butler also came back, he rubbed his hands and said: "It's snowing, old man, add an extra fox fur cloak, fifth master is falling ill, you have to pay attention!"

The old man froze for a moment, with a nervous expression on his face, "Are you sick? Did you call for a doctor? How's the situation?"

"The doctor has been here, and it's much better now." The housekeeper stepped forward to help the old man get dressed, and put on a fox fur cloak, and said with a smile, "Tonight, I have your favorite braised pork and stewed soft-shelled turtle, and the fifth grandmother ordered the kitchen It has been stewed for a long time."

The old man seemed very happy, touched his belly and said, "That's a good thing, I'm hungry."

"Of course I'm hungry. You've been eating porridge for the past few days." The butler said pitifully.

The old man hummed, stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, and sat in front of the bronze mirror to look at it again, and said: "The hair is all white, and I really can't find a single black hair."

"Just dye it." The housekeeper smiled, "Look, most of my hair is gray. It's okay, there will always be gray hair."

"When it comes to dyeing hair, no one can compare to your grandma's handiness. Back then, she only saw that I had a few strands of white hair, so she said she would dye it for me." The old man said with a smile.

"That's right, when it comes to ingenuity, who can compare to the old lady?" The housekeeper helped the old man up, and said with a smile, "Let's go, everyone is in a hurry. After eating, you have to come back to make red envelopes. Tomorrow is the big day." On the first day of the new year, will this year be the same as in previous years, 100 taels of silver?"

"Well, according to your point of view, this year, no matter whether you are a servant or a girl, you will be treated equally with the master." The old man seemed in a good mood, and he ordered the housekeeper as he walked.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, "This, isn't it good? There are so many people in this mansion, 100 taels will cost a lot of money."

The old man waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, they have been tired for a year. In the future, I have to rely on them to take care of the people behind me."

The housekeeper hurriedly poohed twice, "What are you talking about? What is the person behind you? Nonsense, let's talk about it today, but tomorrow's New Year's Day, we can't talk about it anymore."

The old man just smiled and said nothing.

A group of people passed by the account room, and the octagonal wind lamp in the corridor was blown upside down by the north wind. Little Zhuzi had sharp eyes, and saw two black shadows flashing by in the account room, he said in surprise: "There are thieves!"

As the year approaches, many thieves come and go, and there have been thieves in the Liu Mansion before.

This kind of thieves are generally timid, and they only enter the door to ask for money, and they will leave if they are threatened.

Xiao Zhuzi rushed in with two young servants, shouting as he rushed, "Where did the thief come from? How dare you steal into Liu's residence?"

There was a commotion in the account room, and two men in black rushed out. The housekeeper held up a lantern to shine a light on it, and said in a voiceless voice, "It's you?"

The two men in black fled through the door in a panic, but the guards in the corridor over there heard the movement and were leading people over.They ran quickly, but the housekeeper stepped forward to stop them. The two avoided sideways, and bumped into the old man next to him. The hem of the man in black who lived in one of them said, "Don't go!"

The man's footsteps froze for a moment, and another man in black turned his head and said angrily, "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up?" As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the man, who stepped on the old man's body and passed by in a panic. The old man let out a scream, and the two ran towards the back door without looking back.
