The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 45
The next day is New Year's Eve.

Gu Qinghuan put on a new red jacket, and went over early in the morning to greet Aunt Yuehua.

Aunt Yuehua had just drank a cup of hot tea while leaning on the rug, when she saw two young girls who were juicy and beautiful, and came in to say hello to her.

"I met my aunt."

Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi saluted one after another, and said: "The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year. After today, tomorrow will be the New Year. I hope that Auntie will have today every year, and today every year."

Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new is always a good thing.

And the Chinese New Year is also lively.

"I'm getting older, and I don't want to lose so much of what I have."

Aunt Yuehua seemed to be a bit emotional, she took the hands of Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi, and said: "I just hope that you two can help me guard the house for the fourth elder brother in the future."

"Won't my aunt move out of the palace with the fourth elder brother in the future?"

Yaqi was very puzzled, thought for a while and said: "It's better to have my aunt beside the slaves and remind them all the time."

"I'm not going."

Aunt Yuehua shook her head, glanced at Nanny Zhuang, and said, "Before Di Fujin enters the house, Nanny Zhuang will take care of all the affairs in the mansion first."

"In the future, Nanny Zhuang will continue to give advice to both of you."

Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Madam Zhuang is gentle, but she is also very disciplined.In the future, with her in the fourth elder brother's house, there is no need to worry about anything going wrong.

"Okay, it's getting late."

Aunt Yuehua looked at the two well-behaved children, and saw that she had nothing to tell her, so she said, "Go back and play first. I don't have anything to do on New Year's Eve today, and you will come back at night when you observe the new year."

"Yes." After Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi agreed, they left the room.

The sky outside was clear, and the blue sky was extremely clear.

what to do?
Gu Qinghuan tilted his head and looked at a tree with a crooked neck not far away. After thinking for a while, he turned his head and asked Yaqi, "How about going back and chatting with melon seeds?"

She doesn't want to go to appreciate plums anymore.

What if...you run into that dead Mensao fourth elder brother again?

"Uh-huh."

Yaqi was most interested in eating, and hurriedly said: "I asked someone to buy fennel and melon seeds from outside the palace. We can chat while eating melon seeds!"

Gu Qinghuan agreed, and followed Yaqi back to the house.

During the Chinese New Year this year, the palace is not allowed to be lively.It is best for them to close the door and live on their own.

After a few hours passed, I ate half a catty of melon seeds and drank a few pots of tea.Seeing that it was getting late, it was almost time for dinner.

At this time, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Sister Qinghuan, sister Yaqi." A Shuang knocked on the door and asked, "Can I go in?"

"A Shuang is here?"

Yaqi put down the teacup in her hand, and hurriedly went to open the door for Ah Shuang.

As soon as Ah Shuang entered the room, she hurried to the side of the charcoal fire to warm up her body, and brought a food box with her to Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi.

"This is the mutton dumpling that the fourth elder brother ordered the imperial dining room to make."

Ah Shuang said: "These two servings are for the two elder sisters, hurry up and eat them while they are hot! The fourth elder brother said that after you eat them later, you can go and watch the new year with Aunt Yuehua."

"Okay." Gu Qinghuan took the two bowls of hot dumplings, and said to Ah Shuang, "You should hurry up and eat."

"Yes." Ah Shuang happily agreed, and left the room.

"Wait." Gu Qinghuan remembered something again, got up hurriedly, took a Tang Pozi from the side and stuffed it into Ah Shuang's hand, and said, "It's cold, don't freeze."

"That's it." Ah Shuang held Mrs. Tang in her arms and said, "Sister Qinghuan is the best."

After finishing speaking, Ah Shuang took another playful look at Yaqi, and hurriedly added: "Sister Yaqi is the best too."

"Don't be silly, go quickly." Yaqi just swallowed a mutton dumpling in her mouth.After speaking vaguely, he hurriedly put another mutton dumpling in front of him.

Gu Qinghuan returned to her seat, looked at the dumplings in Yaqi's bowl that were almost half gone, and couldn't help but sighed.

"Don't worry."

Gu Qinghuan pushed her bowl forward, and said, "If you don't have enough, I have some here. I ate a lot of pastries this afternoon, so I'm not very hungry."

Although... she seems to have not eaten mutton for a long time.

"it does not matter."

Yaqi still ate vaguely, so she said: "You eat yours. I just haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, and I remembered the dumplings during the Chinese New Year at home."

Dumplings during Chinese New Year at home.

In Gu Qinghuan's family, they also eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

Cabbage stuffed, leek stuffed, and pork stuffed.As for mutton stuffing, I used to eat it often when my family was rich.

"Why don't you eat?"

Yaqi almost finished eating the whole bowl of dumplings.

But when she looked up and saw that Gu Qinghuan was still in a daze, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Gu Qinghuan.

"I'll eat right away."

Gu Qinghuan quickly recovered, took a dumpling with the chopsticks.

She has to investigate what happened to the Gu family as soon as possible.

After eating a meal of mutton dumplings and adding half a bowl of mutton soup, my whole body became much warmer.

Gu Qinghuan ate so comfortably that she leaned on the chair and didn't want to get up.

"What are you still doing?"

Yaqi hurriedly came over to pull Gu Qinghuan, and said, "Aunt Yuehua is still waiting there. Auntie has always been strict, if she is punished..."

"We set up rules for those who celebrate the new year. Aren't we being laughed at?"

"... "

Gu Qinghuan immediately stood up, and walked towards the door in three steps at a time.

She almost forgot that Aunt Yuehua sometimes looked gentle and easy to talk, but she was actually the most serious.

"Wait for me..."

As expected, Yaqi froze on the spot for a while, before she realized that she immediately went to catch up with Gu Qinghuan.

It has been quite a while since Aunt Yuehua had dinner at Aunt Yuehua's place.

At this moment, he just walked around the yard to eat and drink, and saw Bai Xue was about to fall again.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year, it's a good intention."

After Madam Zhuang finished speaking very appropriately, Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi arrived.

"I met Aunt Yuehua, I met Nanny Zhuang."

The two saluted one after another, and then followed Aunt Yuehua and entered the house.

The house was brightly lit, and the charcoal fire was burning.There are a lot of melon and fruit snacks and tea on the table, in case you get hungry later, you can eat some.

"In elder brother's office, you don't have to be too strict about keeping the year old."

Aunt Yuehua leaned back on the chair at the top, and said: "When it's Zishi, if you are sleepy, it's okay to go back. Now, let's wait for a while."

"Yes."

Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi responded one after another, and sat quietly aside.

In this way, I don't know how long it has passed.Gu Qinghuan heard a burst of familiar footsteps outside.

PS: Good night!
