After being picked up by the prince, Xiaojiaohua is wild and sassy

Chapter 28
Time flies like a white horse, the end of the year is coming soon, the year is approaching, and one day it will be the New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve is a very important day, and many people have to reunite with their families on this day.

There is a family banquet on the eve of the New Year's Eve in the palace. According to the royal practice, Zhong Liting must go back to the court on the eve of the New Year's Eve.

On the last day before the holiday, the barracks was extremely busy, and Wei Ling sneaked over to look for Ru Huahua.

Although it’s winter now, the sunshine was pretty good in the past two days. Ruhuahua finished her training, took advantage of the good weather at noon, and scrubbed the animal hair carpet on the floor of the tent. Getting on the rope.

On the other side, Wei Ling pushed aside the soaked blanket in front of him with one hand, and rolled over from underneath.

"Oh, brother Wei, it's all water, dirty." The blanket was full of water, and the water droplets lifted up splashed all over her face, she wiped the water marks on her face with the back of her hand in disgust, and shouted.

"You know that too," Wei Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, shook the dripping blanket, and said, "Look at this blanket, there's not much difference between twisted and untwisted, and you're not afraid that you'll be frozen into an ice blanket tomorrow." ?”

"I can't unscrew it," Ruhuahua casually poured the remaining water in the pot, and exhaled, "This blanket is too thick, it's hard to unscrew it after soaking in water."

"Come on, come on, twist it again." Wei Ling put his hands together and twisted it with her, "You said you, if you can't twist it alone, you can't call more people..."

Ruhuahua shook her head: "I think everyone is very busy today."

Except for a few people she often sees, she actually doesn't like dealing with people very much, which indirectly leads to her image of being lonely and difficult to get along with in the eyes of others.

"At the end of the year, that's it. It will be fine in the past." Wei Ling chattered, "Why do you suddenly want to wash this in winter? Dirty? Why do you do this kind of big thing yourself? Spend some money to send it Just go to the town and find someone to wash it, you don’t have to worry about it, Brother Ting will take care of it himself.”

"I washed it secretly. My brother doesn't know. He seems to be very busy today." Ruhuahua nodded her head carelessly. "Brother Wei, I heard from Aunt Yun that tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

Wei Ling hung up the half-dried blanket: "Yes, it's the end of the year."

Ru Huahua casually wiped the water stains from her hands on her body, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Wei Ling, "Aunt Yun said that at the New Year's Eve, we have to clean the house and remove the old cloth, and every family has a reunion dinner to celebrate the new year." night."

She has already cleaned the inside and outside of the tent, and the remaining blankets can only be washed.

Wei Ling was even less dignified, and waved his hand, motioning for her to take back the veil, "It's the Chinese New Year, and many soldiers in the barracks have already gone home while they're on leave."

Ru Huahua nodded, and she also noticed that there have been many fewer people in the barracks recently, "Then brother Wei...do you want to go home too?"

"Of course, I haven't been back for a long time. I must go back to the mansion before the New Year's Eve dinner," Wei Ling said. Let's see when my father is busy."

"Oh." Ru Huahua stirred the handkerchief in her hand, "Does that brother have to go home tomorrow?"

Wei Ling said decisively, "Brother Ting will go back naturally, in the palace... as soon as the business in the palace is done."

Ruhua lowered her head, "Does that take many days?"

"Well... If you follow the usual practice in previous years, you will probably stay there for three to five days after the new year. This time is not very accurate," Wei Ling said, paused, and then said, "Otherwise you and Wei Brother, should you go home? It’s boring for you to stay here by yourself, my second uncle’s family has a little daughter who is just the same size as you, you should have something in common.”

Ru Hua shook her head. "...It's okay, Brother Wei, don't worry about me, I'm already this old, I can do it myself."

Wei Ling: "Aren't you really going? The imperial city is much more lively than here, you really should go and see it."

Ru Hua shook her head and declined Wei Ling's kindness.

In the afternoon, Zhong Liting didn't come back. There was indeed a lot of work in the military camp at the end of the year, and his brows were a little tired.

Ruhuahua poured him a cup of hot tea, "Brother..."

"What's the matter?" Hearing that she hesitated to speak, Zhong Liting took a sip of tea and let out a casual snort.

Ruhuahua asked, "Brother, when are you leaving?"

"Huh?" Zhong Liting turned to look at her, slightly taken aback.

After a busy day, he was so dizzy that he almost forgot that tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

The royal family's kinship is weak, Zhong Liting doesn't care about the reunion, if it wasn't for the ancestral precepts, he didn't want to go back to the palace at all, "...not in a hurry, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, just go back before dark .”

"Oh," Ru Huahua nodded, "That brother has a smooth journey."

Seeing her alone, Zhong Liting felt a little at a loss as to what to do.

New Year's Eve was supposed to be the most lively and happy day for the whole family to reunite, but on such a day, she became alone, which was quite painful.

"Child," Zhong Liting sighed, "I'll say hello to your brother Wei. You can go with your brother Wei tomorrow. His family is crowded and lively."

It's not easy for him to bring someone back, the palace is complicated, if he rashly brings someone back to the Eastern Palace, it will inevitably make people think too much, and even if he brings her back, he can't take her to the palace banquet, and in the end she will be left alone.

Ru Huahua shook her head, "No need, brother Wei has already told me."

Zhong Liting: "Then what do you think?"

"I won't go, there are so many people left in the barracks, I can stay here." Ru Huahua said, and quickly smiled, "Brother, is it because I am afraid that I will be left alone, so I will be lazy and not train?" gone?"

Zhong Liting touched her head and said slowly, "It's the end of the year, you can be lazy for two days."

...

The next day, before dawn, Ruhuahua heard a slight rustling sound from the next door.She knew that it was Zhong Liting who got up, and she closed her eyes without moving.

There was really little movement over there, and it stopped for a while. The sound of small footsteps crossed half of the tent and stopped in front of her couch.

Ru Hua pinched her palms with her fingers hidden under the quilt, her body was stiff and her mind was tense.

Why did my brother come over suddenly?
Did my brother notice that she was pretending to be asleep?

Ruhuahua didn't dare to move, she concentrated on listening to the movement coming from beside her.

The pillow was lifted slightly, and Zhong Liting seemed to put something under the pillow, accompanied by a soft voice, "Happy New Year, kid."

Ruhuahua's eyelids moved slightly with the eyeballs, but did not open.

She was afraid that as soon as she opened her eyes, she would ignorantly pull him away and not let him go.

He was going back to the imperial city that day, and the time was not considered rich. Zhong Liting didn't stay for too long, there was everything in the palace, and he didn't bring any luggage, so he could go back empty-handed.

Then, Ruhuahua heard the sound of the blanket being lifted and put down in the tent.

After waiting quietly for a while, after confirming that there was no movement at all, Ru Huahua slowly sat up from the bed.
