Guozijian little cook

The Xiao Mansion closed its doors and had a lively and warm New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, various governments went back and forth to pay New Year's greetings. Xiao Nianzhi had promised before that he would go to Feng's family to pay New Year's greetings. He would definitely go there at this time.

Therefore, in the morning, he paid New Year's greetings to Xiao Siye and his son. After each of them gave out red envelopes, Xiao Nianzhi also received a lot. Then he went back, changed his clothes, and went directly to Feng Mansion.

The streets are not too lively on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After all, the vendors have been tired for a year and want to take a break during the New Year.

Therefore, no one has set up stalls on the street, and all shops and businesses are closed.

However, there were many carriages on the road.

Because each government comes out to pay New Year greetings, you can’t walk there, right?
Carriages from each mansion were dispatched, and in some mansions, there might be two or three carriages dispatched together.

Therefore, the traffic seems quite lively.

When we meet someone we know well, we will stop and say hello, and after New Year greetings, we will exchange a few simple greetings.

Xiao Nianzhi was not familiar with carriages from various prefectures.

In addition, this year is different from previous years. The emperor has no son, and the atmosphere is not very good.

Therefore, everyone is relatively low-key and doesn't really show too much excitement.

To put it bluntly, the emperor is not in a very good mood now. It would not look good if he found out that the courtiers were in a good mood!
Xiao Nianzhi wandered to Feng Mansion.

The Feng family got the news early in the morning and opened the front door specially.

Today I also received other friends and family members at my house.

However, in comparison, what the whole family is looking forward to most is Xiao Nianzhi's arrival.

Because the uncle of the Feng family still needs to take the eldest son Fengjun to deal with colleagues or friends who come to the house to pay New Year's greetings, he can't come to the backyard for the time being.

In contrast, the female relatives do not have such worries. Now they are all sorted and waiting in the backyard.

Feng Ning was quite happy and went forward to greet him.

After Xiao Nianzhi got off the carriage and entered the house, the first family member he met was Feng Ning.

The little girl is younger than Xiao Nianzhi, a little shy about society, and not very embarrassed to see people.

He pursed his lips, smiled at Xiao Nianzhi, and then walked a few steps over to accompany Xiao Nianzhi.

Feng Ning worked hard for a long time before he said: "Cousin, happy New Year!"

Xiao Nianzhi responded with a busy smile: "Ning Ning, happy New Year."

While talking, the red envelope was also handed out.

The banknote in the red envelope is the smallest denomination of the Dajin banknote, 50 taels.

Xiao Nianzhi also made so many packages after careful consideration.

You know, in the Xiao Mansion, the brothers and sisters only pay each other five taels of silver.

However, as for the Feng family, it was his first time visiting, and there were not many juniors in the family, so Xiao Nianzhi was a little more prepared.

Fortunately, we had a good harvest last year, so we can afford such money.

Therefore, you have to think of some side jobs to make some money.

The lipstick, makeup kit, etc. from before can be picked up when I have some free time.

Fengning accepted the red envelope generously.

The two were equals, so Xiao Nianzhi was given to her, and Fengning was given back to Xiao Nianzhi.

The red seal felt thin, and it seemed to be a bank note, with an unknown denomination.

After getting it, Xiao Nianzhi put it away.

The two of them were led all the way to the backyard. The Fengjia courtyard was large. Although it was not as exaggerated as a pavilion or waterside pavilion, it was indeed a long and winding walk before they arrived at the main hall in the backyard for entertaining guests.

At this time, all the female relatives of Feng Mansion, as well as the younger men who had not gone out to deal with the situation, were also here.

After Xiao Nianzhi entered the door, he first gave the stove and cloak to Isatis, then simply tidied it up, then stood at the door, waiting for the cold air to dissipate, and then motioned to the maid to lift the curtain so that she could go in.

Fengning also operates in a similar manner.After the two people entered, they first went to say hello to Mrs. Feng.

When the old lady saw Xiao Nianzhi coming, she could not control her tears of excitement.

If the little girl is willing to come, it means that the Feng family approves of them!

Because of the long journey in winter and many other things, it was not easy to look up the past events many years ago. In fact, it was quite difficult to find out.

However, the Feng family feels that those are no longer important.

The little girl still has the jade pendant on her face. If she puts it here, who would dare to say that she is not Xiyue's daughter?

Mrs. Feng said hello several times, and then generously gave the red envelope.

Xiao Nianzhi then wished Happy New Year to Mrs. Feng, Fengjun's wife Guo and others.

Fengjun's wife, Mrs. Guo, is Guo Sixue's elder sister. She did not go there the last time she recognized her relatives. Fengning explained to her afterwards, saying that her eldest sister-in-law was pregnant and she should not be too emotional. So she stayed in the house at that time.

Now looking at the other person's pregnant belly, she is at least six months old.

In months like this, it's good to go around the house, which will be convenient for giving birth later.

However, it is difficult to ensure safety after leaving the house.

Moreover, the road nowadays is not easy to walk, and riding a carriage is bumpy back and forth, so it is better to stay at the house and take a walk.

When Xiao Nianzhi thought of the bumpy road, he thought of cement again.

So, the first thing after the new year is to make cement.

Mrs. Guo had heard Guo Sixue mention this good friend before, and she had heard Feng Ning mention it before.

This is the first time I've seen it, and I'm still a little curious.

She doesn't look very similar to Guo Sixue. At first glance, there is a slight similarity, but if you look closely, you can't tell anything.

Mr. Guo was gentle and polite, and he didn't look like he came from a military general's palace.

In addition to his eldest cousin, Xiao Nianzhi also saw his second cousin Feng He this time.

The other person is good-looking and has many similarities with Fengjun. His eyes also follow Zhou's, with long and narrow red phoenix eyes.

However, compared to his eldest cousin's maturity, Fenghe has a bit more of a youthful and unruly character.

It's a bit like a knight errant.

Seeing Xiao Nianzhi, the other party hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Cousin."

Xiao Nianzhi obediently called her cousin and asked for Happy New Year.

Fenghe generously took out the red seal.

Then there is the third cousin, Feng Yan.

The other party is the same age as Xiao Nianzhi, but the other party's birthday is in the first month of the year, making him nearly half a year older than Xiao Nianzhi.

So, he is a cousin.

Xiao Nianzhi also saluted and said hello, and then received a red seal.

Feng Yan's eyes followed the tradition of the Feng family. Like Xiao Nianzhi, they had beautiful lychee eyes.

The young man's round eyes, which are slowly opening, are lively and somewhat free and easy when looking at people, giving people the impression that this person should be very lively.

After each of them celebrated the New Year, Xiao Nianzhi was pulled by Mrs. Feng to sit next to her: "Your grandfather will probably come back later. He broke his leg on the road and is now being raised in Luzhou. I'm afraid that if he comes back in a hurry, there will be something wrong on the way. I struggled with my legs, so I didn’t tell him about it, thinking I’d wait until he recovered before returning to Beijing.”

The main thing is fear. Mr. Fengji is worried about something going wrong on the road.

It is not a good outcome when a happy event turns into a funeral.

Therefore, Mrs. Feng still seeks stability.

After all these years, we can't let something go wrong at the last minute, right?
