Chapter 24

In a blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve.

On this day, the streets of the entire capital city are clean, a road is smooth, and every household stays in their own homes, putting on window grilles, wearing new clothes, and preparing dinner for dinner. The aroma of the fire, the children set off small fireworks and firecrackers at the door of their house, and the crowd is so lively.

The Song Mansion is also preparing for the New Year. From morning to nightfall, the servants in the mansion are not idle for a moment. Just like the modern New Year gathering with relatives, various upper-class mansions also walk around each other, sending some good New Year gifts.Master Song served as a minister in the court, and he was a second-rank minister. There were so many people who wanted to curry favor, it could be said that he received gifts softly, and those servants also took care of the annual gifts all day long, and they didn't stop until night.

On New Year's Eve, all the people in the Song Mansion gathered in the main room to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner and watch the New Year together. Except for Chu Jinyu, he was not in good health and could not stay up late. In addition, the weather was cold this day and he was suffering from cold illness. So Song Madam sent someone to bring him the meal to his room to eat alone.

Song Yiling was unhappy. She hadn't seen Chu Jinyu for several days, and wanted to spend this night with him, but she didn't even see him. She wanted to get away several times, but was stopped by Mrs. Song.

In desperation, I had to give in and take a look leisurely.

When Bu Youran left, he was careful, thinking that Chu Jinyu would not be welcomed in the Song residence, and he was afraid that the food sent over had already cooled down, so he ran to the kitchen, saw the leftover noodles and stuffing, and simply I squeezed a plate of dumplings and cooked them and took them over.

The firecrackers outside the mansion were noisy, and it was a lively scene.But when we arrived at Chu Jinyu's courtyard, it was deserted and devoid of any atmosphere. There was no Chinese New Year atmosphere, no window grilles, and the snow that fell a few days ago was still piling up on the ground. silhouette sitting on a chair quietly reading a book.

Bu Youran went straight into the room with the hot dumplings, "New Year's Eve, what book are you reading?"

When Chu Jinyu heard Bu Youran's voice, she raised her head and looked at her with a smile, "Why are you here?" Even though she asked like this, her tone was filled with joy.

Bu Youran saw that he didn't even move his mouth when he saw the food on the table. As she expected, the plate had already cooled down, "Miss misses you, let me come over and have a look. I thought you might not eat dumplings, so I squeezed them casually." Bring a few here, taste it while it’s hot.”

Chu Jinyu's eyelids drooped, and she looked at the dumplings brought in front of her. She seemed to hesitate, but finally picked up one with chopsticks and ate it in three bites.

Bu Youran asked, "Is it delicious?"

After Chu Jinyu swallowed, she looked up at her, "Did you prepare the stuffing?"

"No, Aunt Wu prepared it, but I made the dumplings." Bu Youran said truthfully.

"Yeah." He nodded and replied with a smile, "The stuffing is a bit salty, but the skin is well rolled, neither thin nor thick."

Bu Youran couldn't help smiling, "What if I said that I made the stuffing?"

"That's delicious." He replied quickly.

"I didn't realize you were so good at flattering before..." Bu Youran said, her heart was full of joy, she looked around and found the tea set on the table, so she complained, "Since drinking your tea, The tea from the third lady's side is hard to drink, and she said it was given to the master by others, and I don't think it is even half of your tea. It can be seen that those gift-givers may not necessarily bring good things."

Chu Jinyu listened, smiling straight into his eyes.

Bu Youran didn't know that those small officials who gave gifts really sent the best tea in the capital, not a trace of deceit, but Chu Jinyu's tea came from an unusual source and was extremely precious, even if it was a tribute from the palace It may not be as good as his.

Chu Jinyu got up and took a cup of tea, poured out the original tea, and brewed a new one. After a while, he pushed the tea cup in front of Bu Youran, "Your hometown also eats dumplings on New Year's Eve?"

Bu Youran removed the lid of the teacup to let the aroma of the tea overflow, and she immediately felt a sense of satisfaction, she replied, "That's natural, but our dumplings on New Year's Eve are not just a kind of stuffing, there are pork and green onion stuffing Son, there are mutton stuffing, egg and leek stuffing, and my favorite three delicacies stuffing."

"San Xian?" Chu Jinyu didn't seem to hear clearly, so he repeated it.

"Yeah." Bu Youran took a sip of tea, she really liked the tea in her heart, she didn't know where she bought it, and thought that her meager salary might not even be enough for a cup of tea.

Chu Jinyu thought that Bu Youran didn't want to continue, so she stopped asking. After she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, she remained silent as usual.

It took a long time before Bu Youran woke up from the tea. She thought that the topic they just talked about seemed to be about dumpling stuffed with three delicacies. She was suddenly shocked. She is a child of a poor family, how could she eat so many kinds of dumplings? ?Is she... Will she reveal her secrets?Is the identity of the choreographer to be doubted?
She glanced sideways at Chu Jinyu, and found that he was not obsessed with this issue at all, and she gradually became relieved.

Speaking of which, Chu Jinyu is also a heart-warming child. The Song family treats him well on the surface, but secretly withholds all his expenses. According to the maid in charge of internal affairs, this time the money will be distributed at the end of the year. The talent gave Chu Jinyu ten taels of silver, what is that enough for?Have a drink outside and you'll be gone!

Ugh……

As the midnight was approaching, the sound of firecrackers outside became more and more louder, but it was in stark contrast to the silence inside the house.

Bu Youran coughed, breaking the current atmosphere, "Are you feeling better?"

"Hmm." Without looking up, he turned a page of the book.

"Do you want to... go outside to watch the fireworks?" Bu Youran was inexplicably nervous.

Chu Jinyu raised her head, met Bu Youran's gaze, paused for a while, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "Okay."

Bu Youran relaxed, and a smile spread all over his face.
