Chapter 27: New Year's Greetings

The Lin'an General's Mansion has made full preparations for this year, and even the slaves and maids know that the gentleman is celebrating the New Year here. It's just that unlike what he imagined, the gentleman rarely shows up after entering the door. It's not that the gentleman is rude, but at this moment when the New Year is approaching, the Jinling Langjun also keeps feasting on the gentleman. It's hard to resist the hospitality! The gentleman goes out early and returns late, in this cold winter season, it really makes Yu sigh for a long time.

The gentleman really rested on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, on this day Wang Heng led a family to worship the ancestors, the gentleman came to salute, and saw that everyone was sacrificing incense and did not disturb again. However, after worshipping the ancestors, Wang Heng took his second son to talk to the gentleman, and he disappeared until dinner.

Yu Shi didn't wait for the father and son to come, and said to Wang Xianyu with a wry smile: "Recently, the gentleman has gone out early and returned late, and it is rare to have a rest, and your father and brother will not let the gentleman have a good rest." ā€

Wang Xianyu covered his mouth and smiled: "It's rare for a gentleman to be at home, and my father must take my brother and brother to talk to the gentleman." After that, the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and had dinner. As for the other side, there is no need for special orders, there are people who take care of them.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Xianyu came to ask for peace as always, and his father was already dressed and looked happy. The mother on the side couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "Today, in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lang Jun will let the gentleman have a good rest!" ā€

Hearing this, Wang Xianyu couldn't cry or laugh, so he stepped forward to take over his mother's words and persuaded: "Father, the gentleman Jinling and his party are non-stop, and it is rare to have a day of rest, so you will spare him!" ā€

Father Wang Heng looked at Wang Xianyu when he heard this, and it was rare for a person who was majestic on weekdays to feel a little uncomfortable. Wang Xianyu didn't see it, thought of a compromise, and said: "The gentleman lives in the general's mansion, but he has never had dinner with our family, why don't you ask the servant to try it if you want to see the gentleman?" ā€

Before the gentleman's guest house, he said that he did not want trouble, and the courtyard and food of the residence were invited to the same guest. Although the gentleman said this, where would the Wang family be lazy? Therefore, I packed up a living house and came out, and asked the gentleman to move in. As for the morning and evening meals, Yu even invited a special cook to serve them. It's just that the gentleman is outside, and he rarely stays in the guest house to eat.

Eating together during the New Year, Wang Heng originally meant the same, but when he saw Wang Xianyu mentioning yƬ, he bowed his head and said: "For my father, I want to invite ...... in person" After that, he was uncomfortable for a while.

Wang Heng said this because he was suspected of having no three hundred taels of silver here, as if he was going to find a gentleman to talk and quibble after being stopped...... Simply don't speak again. Yu and Wang Xianyu didn't know that he was uncomfortable, so they sorted out their clothes and went to the kitchen. The New Year's dinner has always been prepared by the mother and daughter themselves, and this year is no exception.

The cook prepared the materials early in the morning, lest she buy more than twice as much as usual, and because of this, there is a lot of waste at this time. But because of the special days, Yu's wife only doesn't know what to do.

Mother and daughter are delicate people in the end, so miscellaneous things such as burning the fire do not need to be done by the mother and daughter themselves, such as fish, it must be cleaned up only to be put into the pot, and the mother and daughter only need to make it into a plate, just a spoon.

When Wang Xianyu was young, these were all done by the Yu family. Wang Xianyu was a little bigger, so he no longer let Yu's hands get more oily. The Yu family knew that her daughter was filial, and she was also up to her. It's just that there is only one piece of duck meat, and Yu does it himself, and he doesn't let his daughter do it for him. This duck meat is what Wang Heng likes to eat, and Wang Xianyu knows it, so he doesn't compete with the Yu family to make it.

The mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen for a long time before they came out, and when they came out, they went back to the house to change into clean clothes. The maid and the others knew that Wang Xianyu was going to cook today, so they prepared their clothes early and waited for the girl.

When Wang Xianyu changed his clothes and walked to the hall with Sangguo, the gentlemen in the house had already arrived. The gentleman was also there, and when he saw Wang Xianyu coming over, he got up and saluted and said, "There is a little lady today." "I know that the wine and food placed in front of me were personally prepared by Yu and Wang Xianyu.

Wang Xianyu bowed his head in return, although he endured joy, but in the end, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised. After Wang Xianyu sat down, Wang Heng and Yu raised together, Wang Heng's voice was like a bell, and it sounded in this hall: "On the occasion of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, I wish the coming year a safe and smooth future." When the juniors heard this, they raised their heads together and drank the wine together.

It's a rare time of the year to relax, so there's no longer the rule of the old eclipse. Wang Heng is the head of the family, and he rarely talks and laughs at home on weekdays, and rarely talks and laughs like today. As soon as Fang drank the first wine, he was full of wine and said to his eldest son: "Over the years, I have wronged my son, and my father knows that my son has a grand plan, and I don't want you to glorify your ancestors, but only hope that the years will be safe." "Let's drink it and drink it all.

There were tears in Wang Lie's eyes, and he hid them with his sleeves while drinking.

Wang Heng was full of the third Hu again, and said to Wang Xianyu: "Ah Yu is now twenty-eight years old, a girl as big as you has already given birth to children, and my father has not been in Jinling for all these years and cannot plan for you, and next year I will definitely find a good family, so that my son can be harmonious." Wang Heng said and sighed.

Wang Xianyu knew that his father was emotional, and he was still a little shy, but at this time he was only grateful. The kindness of his parents has not been forgotten, and now he is making his father work hard, which is really unfilial.

In the third belly, Wang Heng poured another down, and said to Wang Lu: "My son ran around with his father when he was a child, and now he has grown up, I hope that my son will be safe and happy in the future, and he will live a long and healthy life." ā€

When Wang Lu heard this, he drank all the wine with his father.

The first father, Wang Heng, drank the fourth Hu, poured another Hu, and said to the gentleman this time: "The name of the flow is all over Kyushu, and it is already the best among the people, and it is meaningless to add a certain icing on the cake, but there is a good word to admonish." ā€

The next gentleman heard the words and gave up his hand and made a gift to the junior.

Wang Heng saw that the gentleman was humble, and secretly bowed his head, and said: "The style of a gentleman is what my generation yearns for, but there is no perfect person in the crowd, if the flow is burdened by fame, it is better to put it down in time." ā€

Wang Heng's words were the words of the elders to admonish the juniors, and the gentleman raised his head and drank the Huzhong wine, bowed his hand, and said, "Thank you, general, Liuzhi has written it down." ā€

Wang Heng drinks a lot of alcohol on weekdays, but today he is somehow a little drunk. Yu whispered on the side to persuade Lang Jun to go back to rest, but he responded and went back to the house with Yu.

After the first two left, only the three sons of the Wang family were left to sit at the same table with the gentleman. As the eldest son, Wang Lie wanted to take care of everyone, so he toasted on behalf of his father and found a topic to talk to the gentleman.

The gentleman felt something, and said with a wine: "The general is a rare person who understands, and the three sons are all praying for peace and health. ā€

Seeing the gentleman say this, Wang Lie bowed his head and said: "My father is away all the year round, and he sees more things about life and death than others. "Besides, he almost lost his life in the hall recently, so he felt it, but it was inconvenient for Wang Lie to say this.
