As for Tao Yuyu, she had already moved into the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. Worried that she was not used to it, or that the servants would look down upon her because they did not understand the situation, Zhu Yan invited her to live in his courtyard.

Geng Xingshuang was actually a little curious about Zhu Ni's attitude towards this matter.

Therefore, before the Chinese New Year, on the last day that Mingshang Pavilion opened its doors this year, after paying out rewards to the stewards and waiters, and taking everyone to a restaurant for a good meal, Geng Xingshuang found an opportunity. I asked Zhu Yan this question.

Zhu Yan said: "I was just about to tell you about this, but I think Zhu Ni is a little strange."

"What kind of strange method?" Geng Xingshuang asked.

"Ever since Xiaoyu was brought into the house that day, I was worried that Zhu Ni would cause trouble for her. After all, Xiaoyu's true identity is still unclear. Although Aunt Xiao fled to Xiaozao Village with her second aunt, According to Aunt Xiao, the most important thing for the second aunt at that time was Aunt Tan, so as soon as the child was born, it was Aunt Tan who took care of her, without the help of others. Aunt Tan has always been with the second aunt, and she will follow her this time. The second aunt went back to the house together, so she should know.

However, I heard from my mother that Xiaoyu looks very similar to the second aunt when she was young. It is almost certain that Xiaoyu is the daughter of the second uncle and the second aunt, and the servants in the house have also spread the word privately.

In this case, given Zhu Ni's past temper, she might have started a quarrel long ago and cried in front of her grandmother. Grandma was always worried about Zhu Ni's mood, so although she loved Xiaoyu a lot, she only saw her twice. Back. "

Zhu Yan said, her eyes flashing slightly, "The strange thing is that Zhu Ni's performance was unexpectedly generous. Not only did she not cry or make trouble, she actually visited Xiao Yu twice, and even brought gifts, saying It’s really surprising that he made some decent scenes.”

Geng Xingshuang wondered: "Is it because you don't want to ruin your marriage with Wu Shisun?"

Zhu Yan said: "I think so too, but I still feel something is wrong."

But Zhu Yan couldn't tell what was wrong.

On New Year's Eve in Sheng Ning's 14th year, it was sunny in the morning, but heavy snow fell in the afternoon.

At Geng Xun's request, the three houses of the uncle's house had a reunion dinner together. They just said it was a reunion dinner, but it was tasteless.

Mrs. Bo had a gloomy face from beginning to end. Speaking of which, since Geng Cheng's death, although she still went to the main courtyard to pay respects on time as before, most of the time, Xia made them wait in the courtyard and rarely saw them.

As for how long to wait, it depends on Xia's mood.

Fortunately, it may be because Geng Xun interfered, and it usually does not exceed an hour.

So Geng Xingshuang hadn't seen Xia for a long time, and felt that she had changed a lot during this time, and she had become much older. When she looked at people with her eyes, it was as if she had been tempered by yin fire, which made her whole body uncomfortable.

Only when she looked at Geng Shulou, her eyes became gentler.

He seemed to regard Geng Yan as his biological son as an enemy, and he just looked at Geng Yan's greetings gloomily.

Boss Geng Yan made an unhappy sound.

"What did you say?" Xia said.

"I didn't say anything!" Geng Yan frowned and didn't look at Xia.

"Your Majesty!"

Geng Yan knelt down with a plop.

As soon as he knelt down, Jiang, Geng Xingchen, Geng Shu, and Geng Shuji also knelt down.

Geng Wen felt that if he didn't kneel now, he might have to kneel next, so he knelt down too, and then Geng Shuhuai and Geng Xingshuang also knelt down.Geng Shulou naturally didn't want to kneel down, but his uncle and aunt all knelt down. As a nephew, how could he not kneel down? So everyone in the second room also knelt down except Yao.

Geng Xun frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Mr. Xia sat stiffly at the top, looking at her children and grandchildren kneeling below, and suddenly burst into tears.

Fortunately, the servants brought the trays to serve the food. At any rate, everyone finished their meal and left early.

Geng Xingshuang found it extremely boring.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Since there was a new funeral in the uncle's house in the first year, many relatives would come over on this day. However, this was hosted by Mrs. Uncle and Mr. Yao, and Geng Xingshuang only stayed in her own room.

On the second day, brother Geng Shuhuai and Geng Xingshuang followed their parents to their uncle's house to pay New Year greetings. They had dinner at the uncle's house before returning home.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Yang Qingmo and Li Xu came to visit with gifts to celebrate the New Year. This time it was a banquet prepared by Sanfang. After the beginning of the new year, the first major event was the Spring Festival. Time was already very tight, so Lian Geng Yan liked it so much. The person who persuaded them to drink did not persuade these two candidates to drink.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, either relatives come to the uncle's house, or they visit relatives everywhere. Even if there is no one in their house, there will be guests in the second and third bedrooms, so the coming and going is quite lively.

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, Yang Qingmo wanted to accompany Geng Xingshuang to enjoy the lanterns, but she refused.

"It's not because spring is approaching and I'm afraid of delaying your time that I don't let you go. I want to go see the lanterns with Sister Yan, Sister Jiang, and Sister Xu. If you come, you will disturb our conversation."

Yang Qingmo took the letter from Hong Fu's paw and unfolded it to see this paragraph.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window. The servants in the mansion had already begun to light the lanterns on the eaves and in the courtyard. Obviously, there were more lanterns today than usual, not only in number, but also in various shapes. The wonderful thing is that as the lanterns are lit up one by one, the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival becomes more and more intense.

He shook his head and wanted to write another letter. He wanted to say that she was going to a lantern festival with her friends and he could be her bodyguard and promise not to disturb her.

Hongfu seemed to have read his thoughts and let out a short "chirp" sound. Although the sound was short, Yang Qingmo could hear some irony in it.

"Ha! I think Luxi has already gone to see the lanterns with the new birds. The merchants at the Lantern Festival will hang the lanterns very high. Maybe Luxi can pick up a lantern and give it to it. The bird with red feathers that I really like recently!”

As Yang Qingmo spoke, he glanced at the bunch of red feathers on Hong Fu's head, as if he was saying that he has far more red feathers than you do, and you can't compare with him.

Tolerable or unbearable!
Hongfu screamed "chirp, chirp, chirp" three times, flapped his wings fiercely, and flew out of the open window. The wind blew the letter paper on the table to the ground.

Looking at the window lattice with only a few feathers left, Yang Qingmo smiled helplessly.

I was afraid that I was so boring that I actually got into a fight with a bird.

Forget it, let’s read a book!

After the Lantern Festival, the second dragon raises its head in February, and then spring comes.

Before that, the second master and second wife of the Duke of Zhenguo returned to Ningdu City with their three children and a group of servants.

As soon as the second lady, Mrs. Yu, entered the Duke's Mansion, she went to say hello to the Duke of Zhen and the old lady. The old lady had just asked them to get up, and before she could ask how they were on the way, but it was going well, Mrs. Yu started to cry. .

"Mother, I heard that my poor eldest daughter is in the house now. Is she here? I want to see her now."
