Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 248 Good News Comes
On the New Year's Day, after worshiping the ancestors, Yao Cunhui, Yao Cunmei, and Yao Shizan followed Master Yao, put on warm hats, put on a big fur cloak, held a hand stove, got into the carriage, and drove straight to the other courtyard. Let's go to eat New Year's Eve together.

Since Mrs. Ma moved out of the mansion, Fourth Aunt's life has become much easier. She is as gentle and understanding as before, and she takes good care of Master Yao.Another bright and bright son was by his side, and Master Yao was exhausted physically and mentally. After returning home every day, it was very comforting to have a Xieyu flower by his side to accompany her with knowledge and interest, and he doted on her even more than before.I don't know since when, I have been resting in the Liuhua Mountain House every night, and the things I usually use and wear are thrown in the Liuhua Mountain House at will, as if turning the Liuhua Mountain House into a daily living room.

On New Year's Eve, Master Yao originally asked Si Yiniang to go to the other courtyard with Yao Shizhe in his arms, but Si Yiniang refused with a gentle smile.Although she spoke in a reserved manner, Master Yao could understand the meaning of the conversation: she was afraid of embarrassing the mistress.

Master Yao couldn't help feeling a little distressed, hugged her in his arms, comforted and cherished her, and specially ordered the kitchen not to neglect Fourth Auntie, and rewarded her with many extra things, including a piece of mutton fat jade, a set of The red gold inlaid treasure head, two pieces of high-quality squirrel skins, and promised to take her out to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and then went.

After he left, Fourth Aunt sat in the warm room, looked at her son who was having fun playing on the big kang, was startled for a moment, smiled slightly and shook her head.

What the second lady said is right, in front of the master, as long as you remember the four words "be safe and keep yourself", that's enough!
Mrs. Ma doesn't like fourth aunt, and she doesn't like Yao Cunhui's siblings—especially Yao Cunhui.But who said that she is the "aunt" and Yao Cunhui's siblings are also the sons and daughters?
The moment he saw their siblings, Ma Shi's good mood immediately surged to two points of displeasure.Fortunately, it was just a meeting and a meal. Yao Cunhui and his brother seldom talked, and they were born in the new year. People couldn't help but feel a little bit of joy in their hearts. In a short period of time, everyone was safe with each other. Laughter burst out from time to time.

After dinner, after sitting down for a cup of tea, Yao Cunhui winked at his younger brother, then got up with a smile and found an excuse to leave.

Mrs. Ma wanted them to leave quickly, and Master Yao also felt that it would be inappropriate for the mansion to have no master to control the field during the new year, so he nodded and told his servants to send their siblings back first, "wear more, and be careful on the road!" .

Before leaving, Master Yao quietly told Yao Cunhui: "Don't forget to go and see Si Yiniang and your third brother, and ask them if they need anything."

Yao Cunhui carefully agreed.

The sky was so dark that not a single star could be seen, the carriage rattled on the empty street, only the whistling cold wind swept past.Looking at the red lanterns hanging from the eaves of the shops and shops on both sides of the road in this cold night, the pedestrians on the road feel more and more bleak.

Sitting in the warm carriage, the siblings laughed and talked in a low voice. The thick curtains blocked the cold and wind from the outside, and there were two worlds inside and outside.

Suddenly, the sound of galloping horseshoes was startled like thunder, from far to near, piercing the silent night, the sound of the pounding made people startled at first hearing!
The joking and joking of Yao Cunhui and his brother stopped abruptly, both of them were taken aback, and they lifted a corner of the curtain to look out at the same time.

"Good news! Good news! Good news from the Western Regions! The great general who conquered the West defeated the barbarians and won a complete victory! Return to the court before the day! Good news! Good news! Good news from the Western Regions..."

Suddenly, a loud sound like a bell and the sound of horseshoes like a shower resounded through the streets and alleys, flew into the air, spread throughout the capital, and flew into the high palace wall!
The sparsely wrapped pedestrians raised their heads, there was the sound of windows opening gently in the pavilions on both sides, and sparse discussions sounded in the quiet street.

"Has the Western Expeditionary Army defeated the barbarians?"

"Listen, listen! It's good news!"

"Okay, that's really great! To show our country's prestige, Long live the Great Week!"

"Sister, listen, General Shen has won the battle! General Shen is really amazing!" Yao Shizan also praised in surprise, her face turned red with excitement, and her eyes sparkled.

As a citizen of the Great Zhou, no one would be excited, excited, and honored to hear such great news!
"Yes, yes, we are going back to court, right? We are going to return to court in victory!" Yao Cunhui's body trembled slightly, and his heart flew to the clouds in an instant, his nose was sour, and a burst of irritating wetness immediately came out of his eyes.

He is coming back!
It's not a dream, it's real!The sound of the hooves of the passing horses still echoed in her heart, and the resounding "good news! good news!" still lingered in her ears!

She heard it right, because everyone heard it, because everyone said so!
"Is it right? Isn't it right?" Yao Cunhui spoke incoherently, holding Yao Shizan's hand tightly, widening her clear eyes, looking at him and asking him eagerly.At this moment, she needs the approval of others to deepen her confidence and confirm the news.

"Sister?" Yao Shizan was stunned, staring at Yao Cunhui dumbfounded, looking a bit embarrassed.

The co-authored sister is even more fanatical than him!
"Miss, miss!" Rong's mother also smiled happily and her face was covered with wrinkles. Seeing that Yao Cunhui was so afraid of any accident, she held Yao Cunhui's hand and squeezed it, patted it gently and said with a smile: " Yes, it is true! Miss, General Shen has won a big victory, and he will return to the imperial court soon!"

"Mother Rong!" Yao Cunhui couldn't stop laughing, turned around and threw herself on Mother Rong, hugged her shoulders, and shed two tears happily.Mother Rong was also very relieved, hugged her back, and patted her on the back lightly.

Yao Shizan was dumbfounded, and sitting on the sidelines felt unbelievable, so unbelievable!
Yao Cunhui managed to calm down the turbulent mood, slowly took a few breaths, let go of Rong Ma and sat down again, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised uncontrollably, with an unstoppable smile flowing.

"Hey, young master, how many years have the barbarians oppressed us, and how many people have died on the border these years, oh, what a pity! This General Shen has won a big victory, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief for us! Happy, really happy!" Seeing Yao Shizan's big black eyes rolling between her and Yao Cunhui, Rong's mother coughed and explained with a dry smile.

"Well, yes!" Yao Shizan nodded in agreement, but the puzzled look on his face did not diminish, and his eyes were misty and dazed.

Yao Cunhui sighed faintly, looked ahead and said, "Now, the payment for the food sent by our Yao family is finally settled!"

Yao Shizan suddenly realized: So my sister is happy for this!

The Yao family delivered six trips worth tens of thousands of shi of grain before and after the rice trip, which is not a small amount.If the war in the Western Regions continues, the Yao family will have to continue throwing grain into it, and the settlement date will be extended indefinitely.If the Western Expeditionary Army is defeated, then the ration money is even more unnecessary. It can only be thrown into the water to honor the Dragon King!
Now that the Western Expeditionary Army has won a big victory and ended the war, Yao's Mixing also heaved a sigh of relief. It is understandable that Yao Cunhui is so happy.

Yao Shizan couldn't help feeling a little bit ashamed after suddenly realizing it: Why did my sister think of this at the first time but I didn't think of it?In the final analysis, it was because I didn't really use my heart!In the future, we must exercise more and strengthen ourselves.

Yao Shizan decided to work hard after returning home later.

After returning home, the siblings said goodbye, and Yao Cunhui went directly to Si Yiniang's place.

"Miss, it's such a cold day, why don't you go back and drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up!" Xiao Xing said while supporting Yao Cunhui.

"Is it cold? Why don't I feel it at all!" Yao Cunhui touched her face, felt hot for a while, then smiled and said, "You all go back, I will go there with Rong Ma!"

"You guys go back first, I will take care of Second Miss!" Rong Ma said with a smile.Where does Second Miss still feel cold?She didn't know what to boil in her heart!Mr. Shen is coming back soon, and he has won a big battle. Miss's hard days are finally coming to an end!
"Mother Rong, I'm really happy today, really, really happy!" Coming out of the Liuhua Mountain House, she exhaled warm air into her palms, Yao Cunhui raised her face, under the light of the lantern, her eyes were curved and her face was radiant.

"Miss!" Rong Ma laughed cheerfully, "Miss is happy, so is old slave!"

Yao Cunhui giggled, and with rare childishness, she took Rong Ma's hand and said coquettishly, "Rong Mama, I want to drink, and I want to get drunk tonight, so don't let me go!"

"Okay, okay! Tonight, the old slave will accompany the young lady to have a drink or two. Don't drink too much, it will hurt your health!"

Yao Cunhui gave a "puchi" smile, "Got it, Mother Rong!" While saying yes, she didn't drink too much, and only her mother Rong would talk to her like that!

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve, Miss Ben is very happy, you all go down and play on your own! No matter how big or small, everyone will be rewarded with five taels of silver. If you want to eat any snacks, you can go to the flower hall to get them, go!"

Back at Luomei Courtyard, Yao Cunhui waved his hand generously.

Everyone was delighted, and after thanking each other, they went their separate ways, and even Hong Liao was dragged out by Xiao Xing and Xiao Li to play around.

Yao Cunhui and Rong Ma will sit opposite each other on both sides of the kang table, raise the curtain and push the window open, so that they can be seen when someone comes in from the outer room.Sitting down on the kang, the fire was burning vigorously, and the room was as warm as spring.

"Second Miss, don't bother drinking, you have to fill in something, come on, this bad goose palm is good, try it!" Seeing Yao Cunhui's cheeks flushed and dizzy after drinking three cups, Rong Ma persuaded her with a smile.

"Thank you, Mama Rong!" Yao Cunhui put it in his mouth as he said, and said vaguely while gnawing on the bad goose palm: "Mama Rong, you are the best for me!"

Rong Ma smiled and sighed softly: "It's a pity that Rong Ma has no skills. Apart from these small things, she can't help Miss with anything else, let alone protect Miss!" Rong Ma blinked, and her eye sockets became moist.Her lady is really grown up!From being so small and so soft when he was born, he grew up day by day, little by little, and finally grew up bumps and bumps!No one knows as well as she does how hard it is for Miss to grow up to this day and get everything she has today!
