Chapter 723 Extra New Year Greetings (1)
Shao Lingxiao, his wife and their two children did not return until evening.

Yan Wenzhen didn't want to see anyone because of what happened last night, so she excused herself to be tired and went to bed early.

But Shao Juncong was more uncertain about his thoughts than Yan Wenzhen, and was more troubled. When he came back at night, he changed his clothes and went out. He called Han Jun, Tang Heng, Wei Jingyao and others to drink together, and he didn't come back until four o'clock.

In the next few days, they would have New Year's wine, so Yan Wenzhen used the excuse of going to pay New Year's greetings to Ning Nanny, and returned to Xu's house with cardamom.

With a face full of banquets for several days, Princess Wei was tired of eating, and when he was eating breakfast, he saw a table full of chicken, duck and fish, and asked with a frown, "Why are these things again? The greasy food makes my stomach feel uncomfortable .Go get them some light soup."

"Yes." Nurse Ning, who was serving beside her, agreed and turned to leave.

"Hey, you're standing there." Princess Wei Da asked amusedly, "It's the Chinese New Year, those girls are on holiday? Do you want to do this little thing?"

Nurse Ning hurriedly smiled and said: "Princess, don't be angry, the slaves are afraid that those girls will go to the kitchen to spread the word, but they can't speak clearly, which will spoil the appetite of the princess."

"You're making too much of a fuss." Wei Yiyi smiled, and said again, "By the way, I remember that the water shield soup I made before was very good. I don't know if there is any water shield in the kitchen right now?"

Nurse Ning hurriedly said: "Water shield is not a rare thing, we have enough in the ice cellar, but Wen Zhen's child has not been in the mansion these two days, and the cook next to him may not suit the princess's appetite."

"It's just a soup. We didn't eat any unpalatable food before the battle between the two armies? Why is it so delicate?" Wei Yiyi smiled lightly.

"Yes, my servant will ask someone to do it." Nanny Ning agreed, and went to the door and ordered the servant girl to pass the message to the small kitchen.

Water shield soup is not complicated, there are ready-made frozen water shield in the house, the cook made the soup in a short time, and the servant girl brought it up.

The maids stepped forward and filled soup for Shao Lingxiao and his wife and Shao Jun and Shao Yanran's four masters.Shao Yanran took a sip and put it down.

"What, it doesn't taste good?" Wei Yiyi asked.

"It's okay. But it's far worse than sister Wen Zhen's." Shao Yanran has never suffered since she was a child, and she grew up being held in the palm of her hand. She has always been a master who never hides her words. It is easy to become extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Once people have eaten more delicious food, they will no longer be able to accept these ordinary meals.

"What does Juncong think?" Wei Yiyi asked his son again.

"...It's okay." Shao Juncong finished the soup, put down the spoon and even he didn't know what it tasted like.

Wei Yiyi looked at his son Mumu's expression, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't know who this kid is with, and I'm so cold all day long, I really think who owes him [-] yuan! I don't laugh at New Year's Eve."

Shao Lingxiao also said: "You've been bored these two days, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I drank too much wine and my head feels a little uncomfortable." Shao Juncong concealed it.

Seeing his son's listless look, Shao Lingxiao said, "I'll just go to the New Year's wine at General Tang's mansion today. You can rest at home for a day."

"Thank you, father." Shao Juncong hurriedly got up and said.

Shao Lingxiao waved his hand: "Sit down and eat."

"Father, mother, I'm done eating." Shao Juncong bowed and said.

"You haven't eaten much either?" Wei Yiyi looked at the food on the table and frowned, "Are you feeling sick? Just say when you're feeling sick, we don't allow diseases to be avoided in our family."

Shao Juncong hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm really fine, I just want to sleep."

"Okay, then go back and rest." Wei Yiyi nodded, "Tell your nanny what you want to eat, and ask the small kitchen to prepare it."

"Yes, the slave has been prepared." Nurse Ning hurriedly replied.

Looking at the back of his son going out, Wei Yiyi suddenly asked Shao Lingxiao: "Have you noticed that since the night of the New Year's Eve, there seems to be something wrong with our son?"

"What's wrong? Are you thinking too much?" Shao Lingxiao smiled and took two slices of sweet and sour crispy lotus root for Wei Yiyi.

Wei Yiyi shook her head and said: "At the banquet in the palace on the first day of the new year, I felt something was wrong with him."

"The child is old, and it's okay to have something on his mind. I believe he can handle it by himself, so we don't have to worry about it." Shao Lingxiao said with a smile.

"You!" Wei Yiyi glanced at her husband dissatisfied, and snorted, "You never worry about the children! I really wonder if you are their real father."

"Pfft!" Shao Yanran sprayed the soup she just drank on the skirt of the maid next to her.

"Tsk! Look at what you said in front of the child." Shao Lingxiao whispered his dissatisfaction.

Wei Yiyi glared at her daughter who was holding back her laughter, and scolded: "The food is not good, what's the trouble?"

"Mother!" Shao Yanran immediately resisted, "Who is making trouble!?"

"Okay! Don't talk back to your mother." Shao Lingxiao glared at his daughter.

Shao Yanran made a face at her father, stretched out her hand to pinch a steamed dumpling and threw it into her mouth, got up and ran away.

"This child, the bigger he gets, the more unruly he is! You have spoiled him!" Wei Yiyi pointed at her daughter's back and scolded her husband.

"Didn't you think I didn't care about the children just now? Now you say I'm used to them." Shao Lingxiao retorted in a low voice.

"I think you don't care about your son. For this girl Yanran, you spoil her too much! See how she still looks like a girl now, be careful that she won't be able to marry in the future."

"You were much more unreasonable than your daughter when you were young, why don't I marry you anyway?"

"What did you say?!" Princess Wei Da slapped the chopsticks on the table.

"It's nothing, nothing, eat, eat." Shao Lingxiao served soup to his wife with a smile.

"How can Yanran compare with me? I grew up with you all the way! Who does Yanran have? Take a look at the princes and brothers in the capital of the Mandi, who is willing to accommodate her like you accommodate me?"

"Oh, don't worry! There will be someone like that! Don't worry!" Shao Lingxiao persuaded.

Shao Lingxiao returned to his room and closed the door behind his back, startling the servant who came to serve him.

In the past two days, he was really absent-minded. Whenever he had a meal, he would think of the person under him on New Year's Eve. When he thought of her, he would not think about tea or food, and it had nothing to do with him.After entering the room, he locked the door behind him to prevent anyone from disturbing him, so he sat in front of the desk and leaned on the high-backed chair in a daze.

His father asked him to rest at home, and Shao Juncong really rested at home for a day. He either sat in front of the desk in a daze, or lay down on the bed, fell asleep when he fell asleep, and closed his eyes thinking about Yan Wenzhen when he couldn't sleep. Leisurely.

Shao Juncong seemed to have found a good way to vent, but he still closed the door to thank the guests the next day, staying alone in the room and not going out.
