Chapter 721 Extra Fireworks! (2)
The sound of firecrackers outside kept going. After drinking two glasses of wine, Yan Wenzhen felt his body was hot, and the charcoal pot beside him was also burning too hot, which made people a little irritable, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Sit down, ladies. I'm going out for a walk."

"Miss Yan, please feel free." Nanny Ning smiled.

Yan Wenzhen bowed slightly, and went out with cardamom.

"Miss Yan is such a good girl." A butler lady on the left sighed.

Another housekeeper lady also echoed: "That's right! Needless to say, this culinary skill, there is no second one in the capital of Mandi. It's good to have this look! It's just a pity, now I'm alone, a Relatives are gone."

"I think our major general treats her very well. Ms. Ning, why don't you go and talk to the princess and ask the major general to take her into the house? This girl is considerate."

"It's not going to work. The old lady doesn't approve of young men in the family taking houses and taking concubines. Let her old man know, but there is no good fruit to eat."

"That's right. The old lady has a rule for a long time. The young master in the family is only allowed to marry a wife and is not allowed to take a concubine to take over the house. When the girl in the family gets married, the uncle will not be able to take a concubine and take a house in the future... Tsk! You say, the old lady is What do you think? My aunt does not allow concubines to take over the house. Isn’t it a good thing for our young master to have multiple people to take care of him? Will the grandma of the main house dare to be jealous in the future?”

"Don't you dare to choose the old lady's one? This one is looking for bad luck!" Nurse Ning calmly interrupted the gossip of the two people in front of her.

"Oops! I was the one who talked too much, and I punish myself with a drink."

"I talk too much, don't blame Aunt Ning, I will punish myself with a drink."

The first-class housekeepers in the two mansions each drank a glass of wine, and one of them hurriedly changed the subject: "We were just talking about Miss Yan, I think she is indeed a rare one. Aunt Ning, your youngest son will have a baby after the New Year. Right? It's time to book a marriage."

"Oh? That's right! How could I have forgotten such a good couple! Aunt Ning's youngest son is the nanny brother of our major general, and he is a good-looking talent."

"Ms. Ning, I think Miss Yan is pretty good. If you find a match, can I make peace for you?"

After hearing this, Nurse Ning was silent for a moment, then said: "This is a good thing. But Miss Yan is our elder girl's guest, so you mustn't be abrupt."

"I know, I know! We are not the kind of people who wait for no measure."

"I believe this. Our sister-in-law Ziping will make sure that there will be no mistakes. Madam Ning, you can rest assured."

Nurse Ning smiled, raised her wine glass to one of the housekeepers, and said, "In that case, I'll toast you first."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. I've been asking for it for a long time tonight. I'll toast you and wish you good luck and longevity!"

Mother Ning thought of the man she died on the battlefield for a moment, and sighed: "Hey! What do you want to live long and happy? It's just relying on the master to take care of us orphans and widows."

Of the three, two of their husbands died on the battlefield following Shao Lingxiao's battle, and the other came back alive with an arm missing.

As soon as Ning Momo said this, the smiles on the faces of the three women disappeared.

The one named Ziping picked up the wine glass and sighed: "No matter what, we are all taken care of by the general and the princess, and the children are also struggling, and we will have a bright future in the future. Don't be discouraged, Aunt Ning, just take a look. Your three sons are very competitive, and it is not impossible for you to be appointed in the future, and the days of happiness will come later. Come on, let's have a drink."

The three women clinked their wine glasses and finished their work.

"Oh? Where's Miss Yan? It's so cold outside, why doesn't she come in?" The housekeeper looked out wonderingly.

Nanny Ning picked up a piece of soft lotus root stewed in ribs, and said with a light smile, "Of course young people don't like to sit with women like us. Eldest Miss has ordered that Miss Yan is not subject to any restrictions in this mansion." , leave it to her."

"Our eldest girl is really a bodhisattva. This temperament is like the old lady in the Hou's mansion."

"This unruly temperament is also similar."

"That's why the old lady loves her so much."

The three women were chatting and laughing in the house, and Yan Wenzhen under the eaves outside listened to their words every word in his heart.

"Girl, it's too cold outside, why don't you go in?" Cardamom persuaded in a low voice.

"Go back." Yan Wenzhen said, then walked out.

"Wait, girl, this servant has brought your gloves." Cardamom hurriedly turned and went into the room to get something.

Yan Wenzhen's footsteps paused, and before the cardamom, he wrapped his cloak tightly and walked out alone.

"It's New Year's Eve, why do you seem unhappy?" A cold voice came from behind.

Yan Wenzhen hurriedly stopped, turned around, put on a smiling face, and said deeply, "Greetings to the little general."

"What's so small? I'm older than you." Shao Juncong took two steps forward, saw Yan Wenzhen's hand in his sleeve, and asked, "You don't even have a glove? Nurse Ning is also careless now."

Yan Wenzhen hurriedly explained: "Some, some, I was in a hurry when I just came out, and I forgot to go in the house."

"Are you going back to sleep?" Shao Juncong asked.

"Yeah. I just drank a few glasses of wine and I'm a little tired." Yan Wenzhen smiled lightly.

"Today's New Year's Eve, what are you doing going to bed so early? There will be fireworks later." Shao Juncong said, then changed his mind, and asked, "Do you still want to keep your filial piety?"

Only then did Yan Wenzhen remember that her father had died in prison, so she sneered slightly: "If you don't tell me, the general, I forgot. When my grandfather passed away, he didn't come to kowtow before his death, and he didn't fulfill his duty as a son." , now, why should I keep my filial piety for him?"

"Since this is the case, don't go back to sleep. Let's set off the fireworks!" Shao Juncong said, then turned around and called his attendant, and ordered, "Go and ask someone to move the fireworks to the waterside in the garden behind. "

After the servant finished listening, he rushed to make arrangements, and Shao Juncong stretched out his hand to pull Yan Wenzhen out.

"..." Yan Wenzhen struggled quietly, but his hands were as strong as pincers, she couldn't pull them away at all, so she had to.

The General's Mansion prepared a lot of fireworks, Shao Juncong was a young and mature kid, usually he didn't like to play these children's games, but this year he was very interested, and even took half a stick of incense to light the second kick himself.

When cardamom and sycamore came after him, Yan Wenzhen was covering his ears with his hands and hiding under a willow tree, looking up at the fireworks in the night sky.

"Come on! Order one!" Shao Juncong handed half of the incense stick in front of her.

"Ah?" Yan Wenzhen backed away in fright, "I, I dare not."

"Why don't you dare?" Shao Juncong stuffed the incense stick into Yan Wenzhen's hand, pulled her over from under the willow tree, pointed to the fuse of the fireworks on the shelf, and said, "Did you see it? Poke it, Light it and run, the fuse is long enough for you to get under that willow tree."
