Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 114 New Year's Eve ([-])

Shi Zejia waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's just a set of dice. This time, sister Jiu lost. It's time to drink."

But Shi Xuanxin said quietly: "It seems that Jiumeimei's luck this year is not very good."

Shi Yunyou snorted coldly, picked up a piece of snack and ate it.

Fearing that Shi Yiqing would be uncomfortable, Shi Fuyu held Shi Yiqing's hand in her own and said softly, "Don't think about it, it's nothing."

Shi Yiqing could only nod indiscriminately, but he no longer had any interest in having fun. The remaining points were six. Shi Yiqing drank a cup for himself, and Shi Zeqian accompanied him. To ease the atmosphere, Shi Zeqian smiled and said, "This time is good!" Now, it's time for me to punish you. Qing girl, I have nothing else to do, last time I saw you make tea in front of Princess Wei, I enjoyed it. I also punished you to make tea this time."

Shi Yiqing agreed with a smile on his face, forced himself to perform the tea ceremony in front of the sisters, and ignored Shi Xuanxin's jealous eyes, feeling really confused.

The dice shattered for no reason, as Shi Xuanxin said, is it because of bad luck?New Year's Eve, how should I put it, why is it a little unlucky.

Shi Yiqing sighed, it will be great when he gets out of this cage-like place, no need to worry anymore, how nice to live a leisurely life!

With such a small episode, everyone will no longer play around like just now.Shi Yiqing felt uncomfortable, so he leaned on the big welcoming pillow and watched Mrs. Shi and Shi Zejia play around, giggling along with her from time to time.

I heard a girl shouting outside: "It's snowing! It's snowing!"

Shi Yiqing pushed open the window to look, and saw that snow flakes like goose feathers began to flutter outside at some point, dyeing the whole garden white.

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shi Yiqing had just opened his eyes, and the servants of the dyed moon tip, including He Mu who had improved, all knelt in front of Shi Yiqing's bed, and shouted neatly: "Greetings to miss! May you be safe and healthy this year, and everything goes well!"

Shi Yiqing just woke up, still a little dazed, and asked in a daze: "What are you doing? Hurry up and get up! It's strangely cold on the ground."

Jian Liu smiled and said: "Miss doesn't give money to the servants, but let the servants kneel for nothing!"

Shi Yiqing suddenly realized, couldn't help but laughed first: "You guys have discussed it together, and you are here to ask for money! Come on, let's see you are so pitiful, let's fulfill your wish! Cut the flow, Mo Xian, since you two are in charge of my cage, what are you kneeling here for now, why don’t you go open the cage and share the money!” While talking, Shi Yiqing smiled, but in fact, she had already prepared the reward, and it was the twelfth lunar month , she had already ordered Uncle Zhong to fetch some small silver coins from the silver building outside, just to prepare for rewarding people in the next year, and also bought a lot of lapis lazuli bracelets, preparing to give them to the big girls in each house , now they asked Jianliu and Mo Xian to take them out, first rewarded the girl who dyed the moon, and then asked a few little girls to run errands to send out these bracelets.

Everyone in the mansion praised Shi Yiqing for being generous and polite.Lapis lazuli bracelets are not very valuable, but for a young lady who can think of servants, it is already a great kindness to the servants.

After washing up, Shi Yiqing went to the Dianxing Pavilion, and called Shi Fuyu to Chunhui Hall together.

The old lady got up early today and saw her two most beloved granddaughters coming, knowing that the two of them must have never eaten at this time, so she asked Zhu Xi to add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and the grandparents and grandson ate together Only then did the other masters in the mansion arrive one after another.

Last night, Shi Congzhen was playing late, and now he couldn't open his eyes. The old lady was very affectionate, and seeing Shi Zejia and Shi Fulao, who were supporting each other, were already on the verge of falling, she laughed. Said: "One by one, where there is no grandeur of young ladies and sons, they are all monkeys reincarnated into Shi's family! I persuaded you last night, don't play too late, now it is good, the ancestral hall will be opened soon No, but they all look like this! I usually say Qingyatou is a monkey, but look now, you are more skinny than Qingyatou!"

Seeing that Shi Yiqing's face was pale, she asked Yingluo who was following her, "Did you make a fuss last night?"

Yingluo said: "Back to the old lady, our lady played dice with the other ladies last night, drank too much wine, and complained of a headache when she returned home, and the servants served the lady to drink the hangover soup. It's only a little bit better, if that's the case, when I woke up this morning, I still said that I was a little dizzy."

Shi Fuyu said worriedly: "Since the amount of alcohol is not good, you should drink less. Why do you drink so much?"

"Where is it that I want to drink so much!" Shi Yiqing shook his head and smiled wryly, "For some reason last night, sisters and sisters, no matter who rolled the dice, asked me to drink, I couldn't shirk it, so I drank too much. "I remembered the dice that had been split in two, and said angrily, "Maybe it's really my bad luck."

Shi Fuyu gave Shi Yiqing a hand and stopped Shi Yiqing from talking further.

The ancestral hall is opened on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the door of the ancestral hall cannot be closed until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The root of the Shi family is in Lin County, where the tablets of the ancestors are all located.Now the ancestral hall of the Shi family only enshrines people from the branch of the Shi family.If so, Shi Yiqing and other sisters still knelt outside for a while.

Opening the ancestral hall and worshiping the ancestors, women are not allowed to enter. The old lady, the old lord, brought three wives, Jane and all the sisters, to worship outside the ancestral hall. Naturally, the old man led the men inside It's time to worship.

After worshiping the ancestral hall, everyone returned to Chunhui Hall. The elder took the lead, and all the sons and grandchildren of the Shi family knelt down in front of the old lady and kowtowed to the old lady.

The old lady smiled from ear to ear. It had been several years, and she had never been so happy for several years.His gaze passed over Shi Yiqing's body unconsciously, all of this was the opportunity brought by this girl.If Shi Yiqing hadn't messed up Yang Lianxiang's position, the old lady really couldn't find Yang Lianxiang's weaknesses.

Thinking about it this way, the old lady looked at Shi Yiqing with more cordial eyes.

In the afternoon, Shi Yiqing didn't rest, and the headache was not so severe now, so he just took advantage of this time to go to Qinghongyuan to visit Aunt Xiao.

This time Shi Yiqing didn't take Madam Xu with her, only Mingmei and Lianying.

Aunt Xiao was sitting on the kang, chatting with pine nuts and kneading melon seeds, when the little girl reported that Shi Yiqing had come and was about to get off the kang, Shi Yiqing stepped in earlier, stopped Aunt Xiao, then knelt down to Aunt Xiao, heavily He kowtowed his head and said in his mouth: "Qing'er pays tribute to Auntie!" In the end, she couldn't help but dripped down her cheeks and landed on the ground.

Shi Yiqing originally planned to call Aunt Xiao "mother", but after thinking about it, there are still unclean people in Aunt Xiao's Qinghong Garden. If the word "mother" is added and spread, I don't know how sad Aunt Xiao's life will be.One thing more is worse than one thing less, so Shi Yiqing just gave up.

But it made Aunt Xiao hurriedly help Shi Yiqing up: "You know it's good to come and see me today!" Pulling Shi Yiqing up and down to look him up and down, she said: "Mother Xu told me that you drank too much last night. After drinking, complaining about having a headache, why don't you take advantage of the time to sleep more now?"

Shi Yiqing still has a headache now, but she was afraid that Aunt Xiao would be worried, so she said with a smile: "I am afraid that I will sleep too much during the day and be sleepy at night, so I went to Auntie's place to talk to Auntie to relieve the sleepiness." gone."

When Aunt Xiao heard what Shi Yiqing said, she felt relieved: "The ancestral hall is opening today, did the old lady say anything?"

"Auntie is referring to the matter of Qing'er entering the family tree?"

Aunt Xiao said worriedly: "I don't know if this can be done."

"Don't worry, Auntie." Shi Yiqing smiled and comforted Auntie Xiao, "Father has already agreed in front of the old lady, and just wait for the [-]th, when the clan uncle from Lin County comes, I will put Qing'er in the name of the previous lady." down."

Aunt Xiao recited the Buddha, and seemed to have thought of something, and said with some hesitation: "I remember the old lady said before that after the New Year, she will send Madam Xu out of the house to be raised. Qing'er, you What do you think? Mother Xu has served you for so many years, and it has really worked hard."

Shi Yiqing was slightly taken aback, lowered his eyes and remained silent.She knew that Mammy Xu had told Aunt Xiao about this early in the morning, and she had wanted to ask Aunt Xiao to persuade her. Shi Yiqing had no choice but to give in when the mountain fell down.

Aunt Xiao looked at Shi Yiqing's mouth pouting silently, she couldn't help but secretly sighed, thinking, maybe this girl is determined not to let Mammy Xu be by her side to serve her.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xiao stopped persuading her, and just said: "Forget it, I won't talk about it. It's just that Madam Xu is leaving, is there anyone available around you?"

Shi Yiqing understood that Aunt Xiao had compromised on Madam Xu's matter, so she couldn't help showing her face, and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, Auntie, I still have enough manpower here. Grandma let Yingluo beside her a few days ago Come here, now I just wait for He Mu to get better, and Jianliu is capable, so I can handle it if I think about it."

The mother and daughter clung to each other and talked about their son's heartfelt words, Shi Yiqing quarreled again and had a headache, bluffing Aunt Xiao wanted to go down to the ground to make soup for Shi Yiqing to sober up, but was stopped by Lian Ying, and went to the small kitchen with Song Zi, Busily made a bowl of hot soup and medicine for Shi Yiqing to drink.

In the past, Shi Yiqing, who was strong to a certain extent, nestled in Aunt Xiao's arms, like a child with a temper, looking at the bowl of soup and medicine, she refused to drink it, and asked Aunt Xiao to feed it.Aunt Xiao couldn't help it, so she coaxed and persuaded Shi Yiqing to drink half a bowl, but Shi Yiqing felt bitter, so he ate a few mouthfuls of candied fruit in the hands of the little girl Lianying, and then calmed down, and settled down obediently in Xiao In my aunt's arms, she fell into a deep sleep.

As it was getting late, Hu Po, the maid beside the old lady, came to look for Shi Yiqing. When she found Aunt Xiao, she knew that Shi Yiqing was asleep, so she said to Lian Ying with a bitter face: "My dear sister, go and call Miss Jiu, The old lady is still waiting for Miss Jiu to have dinner."

Lian Ying didn't dare to be Shi Yiqing's master. Seeing Shi Yiqing finally fell asleep these days, she was afraid that she would wake up rashly, which would make her headache worse. She is so naive, I'm afraid she hasn't thought through enough, and both of them are reckless.

After thinking about it, Lian Ying said to Hu Po: "Sister Hu Po, I would like to trouble you to go to the old lady to report back, saying that Miss Jiu has already fallen asleep, so I won't go to the old lady for dinner."

Hu Po stretched her neck and took a look inside. Seeing that Shi Yiqing was really asleep, she didn't want to offend her, so she simply responded to Lian Ying with a few words, and then hurriedly went to Chunhui Hall with a lantern to report.

Perhaps the voice outside was a little louder. Shi Yiqing, who was nestled in Aunt Xiao's arms, was awakened just after Hu Po left the Qinghe Courtyard. She looked at Aunt Xiao in a daze, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mother? I'm sleeping." How long has it been?"

Aunt Xiao put her arms around Shi Yiqing full of pity, and said softly: "I haven't slept for a long time, and seeing that you slept soundly, I didn't wake you up. How is it? Does your head still hurt?"

Shi Yiqing covered the corner of his mouth and yawned, got up from Aunt Xiao's arms and stretched, and said softly: "There is no more comfortable place than here!"

Lian Ying, who was waiting outside, heard the voice, and followed Mingmei to come in to serve her. Shi Yiqing looked at Li Ying with a half-smile and said, "You girl, you've become more and more lazy. Seeing that I'm asleep, why don't you wake me up? I'm tired." Auntie, I will take you as a question."

That Lian Ying was not afraid, she took the water-soaked handkerchief to serve Shi Yiqing, and said with a smile: "It's rare for Miss to sleep so soundly, how dare Lian Ying come to disturb you."

Mingmei was the fastest, and rushed to say: "If I had known that Miss would wake up so soon, I would have asked Sister Hupo to wait for a while, so that Sister Hupo would not have to make another trip back."

Shi Yiqing was slightly taken aback, raised her eyes and was about to ask, but when she saw a maid serving the aunt came in with a small kang table, she knew that the old lady asked Hu Po to come for dinner, so she didn't say anything again. Go and ask.

After a brief wash, Shi Yiqing got on the kang again, and leaned cross-legged beside Aunt Xiao. The mother and daughter talked and laughed, and ate the food with clear soup and little water. I'm almost holding on.

Song Zi and the little girls had just removed the food, and Hu Po, who had gone back and forth, came in with the snacks brought by the old lady, leaned over to salute with a smile, and said crisply: "The old lady knows that Miss Jiu I like to have some snacks after dinner, so I asked Amber Tete to bring Miss's favorite glutinous rice cake."

Shi Yiqing smiled and went forward to take Hu Po's hand, and said softly: "This is a fool, I have to trouble my sister to make an extra trip, I'm really sorry."

Hu Po hurriedly waved her hands in polite manner and said: "Miss Nine is serious, the old lady misses Miss, it's okay for Hu Po to go one more time."

Shi Yiqing went to ask the old lady how many bowls of rice she had eaten, and now she felt refreshed. After Hu Po answered one by one, she asked which sister was serving the old lady in Chunhui Hall. When she found out that it was Shi Fuyu, she laughed. Looking at Mingmei who was standing next to her, she said, "Go and get the newly made jujube yam cake from Auntie's side."

Mingmei responded, followed the pine nuts down and brought up the pastries.

Shi Yiqing pointed to the pastries in the red lacquer box and said to Hu Po: "Grandmother knows that Qing'er likes to eat glutinous rice cakes, but Qing'er is worried that Grandmother and Seventh Sister will eat less at night, and I am afraid that they will be hungry at night. These pastries are made by my aunt. Made it, it tastes very sweet and greasy, I think grandma and sister seven are willing to eat a piece. Only one thing, grandma and sister seven are not allowed to eat too much, now I can sleep at night, if I eat too much, I won’t be able to digest at night.”

Hu Po wrote down Shi Yiqing's words one by one, smiled and leaned away from Shi Yiqing and Aunt Xiao, then walked out of the courtyard with the food box and headed towards Chunhui Hall.

Lian Ying, who was waiting at the side, saw that it was getting late, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's getting so late, I'm afraid that Nanny and Sister Jianliu should be in a hurry, and we should go back."

Shi Yiqing thought about sleeping with Aunt Xiao at night, hugged Aunt Xiao's arm and said, "Anyway, it's so late, I'm afraid the keys are going to be released for each house and courtyard, so let's sleep here."

Aunt Xiao held Shi Yiqing tightly in her arms, and said with a smile: "You child, look at the way you talked to Hu Po just now, you only thought you had grown up, and after a while, you became a child again look like."

It was rare for Shi Yiqing to have a good night's dream. When he got up early, he felt very refreshed. The old lady was also very happy to see her, and she held Shi Yiqing in her arms, screaming wildly.

After serving the old lady and eating some rice porridge, the ladies and ladies of each room came one after another to say good morning to the old lady. Seeing that Shi Yiqing was also there, Shi Fuyu took her to sit in the corner while no one was there. The two were talking and laughing very intimately.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the old lady Meng looked at the joyousness in the room, and she became more and more happy from ear to ear, pulling this and hugging that, and even Shi Yunyou, who was not very fond of it in the past, gave a smile.Seeing that the old lady was happy, the three wives did not want to provoke her on this joint, and the previous confrontation ceased for the time being, and even the young masters and young ladies from each room only coaxed the old lady to be happy, making the big scene Chunhui Hall is in full swing.

The beaming Jane with a big belly was lying on the soft couch next to the old lady, talking and joking, the ladies and ladies in the room were being amused, and Liu Li, who was serving outside, was about to call out the bamboo breath, the old lady Seeing it, she was a little displeased, and said: "You girl, you are getting more and more modest, if you have anything to say, just say it in front of everyone, don't make it mysterious."

Liuli had no choice but to walk into the house, bowed her head and said, "Going back to the old lady, someone from the Yang family has come, saying that the old lady Yang misses her daughter and granddaughter, and wants to send the third lady to the house with Miss Six, Miss Nine, and Miss Ten." Syria."

The joyous atmosphere in the room was frozen in the air, and everyone had different expressions, all secretly looking at the old lady, waiting for her reaction.
