Chapter 227 A New Year's Eve Dinner Different From Usual
Lu Yi hummed and was about to leave, then turned around and asked, "Li Wu Qian'er asked again if he has any information about his uncle's next appointment."
"Let Qin Feng Lu be the pacifier." King Qin's face was slightly cold, "Li Xuezhang is too lively. His foot wants to step on all the ships. Let's put it on Qin Feng Lu. If this person is
I still can’t make up my mind, huh.”
Lu Yi's heart tightened at the vague snort from King Qin, and she hurriedly bowed her head in response, took two steps back, turned around and left.

Mrs. Xu was ill until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. The doctor came to check her pulse and said that her pulse was calm and she didn't need to take any more medicine. She just didn't need to work too hard. She had to take good care of herself for a while. After all, she was recovering from a long-term illness.
Mrs. Yao also took her last pulse of the year on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month and said she was fine.
It's not that she wants everyone to have a comfortable New Year, but that it's unlucky to invite a doctor on New Year's Eve. She must take good care of herself until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The doctor can't come to her house anyway. At her age
, the most taboo is such unlucky things.
Early in the morning of New Year's Eve, Mrs. Li, the uncle of Yongning, took his second son and five grandsons, starting from the front door of the uncle's house, replacing old talismans with new ones, and pasting Spring Festival couplets door to door. The uncle's house is not small, and there are many doors to post.
After exchanging the Spring Festival couplets with peach charms, Mrs. Li took his son and grandson to the homes of several elders in the clan to deliver peach charms to the door gods. They were busy all day.
Mrs. Yao couldn't be idle either. She sat in a sedan chair and went around the house to worship various gods. Then she went to the kitchen for a walk, and when she came back, she personally laid out the most important offerings for ancestors and gods on the first day of the new year. After the busy day,
That's almost it.
As evening approaches, Yongningbo's house is brightly lit with lights everywhere, and the festive red and green colors are everywhere. The girls and women are all beaming with joy, their steps are brisk, and they walk with the wind. Everything is filled with the spirit of the New Year.
Just be happy and auspicious.
In the Rongxi Hall, which is used only a few times a year, there is a table outside. Old Mrs. Li is at the top. The second master, Li Xuejue, is sitting on the left side of the old Mrs. Li. Old Mrs. Li waved to his eldest grandson Li Zhangxian and asked him to sit on his right.
Next to Li Xuejue was the second master Li Wenjue, and opposite him was the third master Li Wenlin. Li Wenshan and Li Wenlan sat at the bottom.
The second master looked like he was watching a joke and kept looking at Li Wenshan and Li Wenlan.
Li Wenshan and Li Wenlan were completely unaware that the old man loved his grandson, and Li Zhangxian was so young that he sat next to the old man. It was normal. When something happened in their family, Axia was always at the top of the list. Apart from brother Xian, brothers
In the middle, they are the youngest, so where else can they sit if they don’t accompany them to the last seat?
The second young master, Li Zhangming, was sitting at a table with his wife, Grandma Zhao, inside.
There was also a table inside, just like usual when dining. From Mrs. Yan to Grandma Yao Si, everyone was standing and waiting, and those sitting were the same ones as usual, still in the same position.
Mrs. Guo Er avoided Mrs. Yan and gave Mrs. Xu a sharp look from time to time. In the years since she was married, she did not sit down to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, but had to stand and wait on her. This is the first time that they all have a third bedroom, and there is an extra room.
People had to squeeze into the house with a shy face, but they still squeezed in. She felt that she felt the ancestor's mood more than her ancestor.
Grandma Zhao glanced at Mrs. Xu from time to time, and then at Mrs. Guo who kept gouging Mrs. Xu fiercely. She kept a decent smile on her face, but her heart was beating with gloating. Although she was standing, she was in a good mood.
She always felt that in the spring of that year, Lao Wu didn't end up because he must have gotten some information from the prince. He got the information and hid away, but silently watched his eldest brother finish the exam, which made his eldest brother never know anything about it.
Qiancheng, how could this person be so bad?
Auntie is right. What kind of evil things can this person do in order to climb up? There are a few concubines who have bad soles of their feet that are leaking pus!
But her pair of aunts and uncles were blind and their hearts were blinded by lard. For such a bad person, they could still say that he was loyal and honest. It was really a shame!
Second Grandma Huang was watching a big show on the stage outside, and was watching the show in the house. She should have been very happy, but at this moment, she was neither happy nor in the mood to watch the show.
After the wife came back, she was assigned to take charge of affairs. Up to now, she has been taking care of more and more important matters. Not to say that she has more power than the elder sister-in-law, at least she is no less powerful than her. The elder sister-in-law and the second wife have relegated her to the role of fawning over the third bedroom.
Among those people, whenever they met, they would ridicule her from time to time, not to mention trying to stir up trouble.
She, who was dragged onto the stage, could play a small role at first, but now... what kind of show is she watching? Now she is acting for others! Alas, she has troubles one after another.
Grandma Shen San has been married for the past two or three years, and this is the first time she has to stand up for the New Year's Eve dinner, but she doesn't mind. The three daughters-in-law of the older generation are all standing, so she is very peaceful.
The Yao family is a rich family. When Grandma Yao Si was a girl at home, she was always better than her superiors and more than her inferiors. She often heard her married aunts and sisters talk about the hardships of being a daughter-in-law. Her family was like a small family.
She is a very high-ranking mother-in-law. She is also known to be smart and capable, and she does not tolerate disdain in her eyes.
From the moment they got engaged, she secretly consulted with her sisters in the clan, and worked hard to practice the basic skills of serving her mother-in-law and establishing rules, as well as the intermediate and advanced skills of this and that. Before she got married, she had mastered the skills to endure the hardships of being a wife.
and mental preparation.
But now, she has no chance to put those skills to use. That is to say, at the New Year's Eve dinner today, she feels aggrieved compared to when she was a girl. But as the youngest of the seven daughters-in-law of the older generation and the younger generation, she has suffered so much today, that is, standing all the time.
Well, she was actually a little tired from standing. The basic skills she had practiced so hard seemed to have been wasted. Grandma Yao Si’s newly high-spirited fighting spirit quickly weakened, and she was a little distracted thinking about the important event of returning to her parents’ home on the second day of junior high school.
…
Mrs. Xu has had a good rest for the past few days and has almost recovered. Now she must be very energetic, follow Mrs. Yan, and serve her attentively.
The atmosphere at this year's New Year's Eve dinner was not right. Even Sister Yu felt it. She sat on the chair very obediently and pulled Li Xia, who was sitting next to her, from time to time. "Aunt Jiu, I want to eat that candy..."
"Shh!" Li Xia glanced at Mrs. Yao, who was already flying toward her with a glare. She leaned into Sister Yu's ear and whispered: "You can't eat sweets now. Look, my wife is angry."
Sister Yu glanced at Mrs. Yao, nodded repeatedly, and did not dare to speak anymore. Mrs. Yao has been very fierce recently.
