Chapter 281 Enemy Attack on New Year's Eve
This year is the 29th New Year's Eve of the twelfth lunar month, and during the middle of the day, Jing Han held a banquet in the hall of the front yard.All the people in the mansion, including Ziwen, Wenxuan, and General Li, were invited over to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

The place where they live now is not the backyard of the former county government, but a house built later.The east of the town became Xizhou, and the state government offices were rebuilt.Xizhou is a big city on the border, but the area inside is very large.So Jinghan found an ideal place, built a new house, and kept her family to live in.

Unable to go home this year, Jing Han proposed to invite all the people who came with them, no matter the servants in the mansion or the stewards, to come and celebrate the New Year together.Over the years, a lot of people have left the mansion, and it just so happens that this year the big guys will gather together.

So the men were in the front yard and the women were in the back yard. The whole house was brightly lit, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

"Today is New Year's Eve, a big day for family reunion. Those of us who are away from home, let's have a meal together. No matter what our status is, we are all lively and lively together." Zixuan raised his glass and greeted everyone Said, "Come on, let's drink this glass of wine. It's Chinese New Year, and we should relax."

All the people present raised their wine glasses, and there were smiles on their faces. "Yeah, this year, the fearful one, is finally over. We all let go of eating and drinking, and no one has to worry about it." That General Li is a very bold man, and he is the one who smiles the happiest.

Zixuan turned his head to respect Anfu and the others again, "We are all my family members, so don't be too polite, we all came here together, and we need to take care of each other in the future."

People like Anfu, Changshun, Chang'an, Changxing, and Changwang all came out of the mansion, and now they are all big managers in various places.These few also married their own wives, basically all of them are girls around Jinghan, and now some of their children are very big.

Jinghan eliminated slavery for these people, and did not hold on to their contracts of sale like some others did, making them work for their lives.On the contrary, Chang'an and the others worked more attentively, thinking of Jing Han in everything.Binding with a contract of selling one's life may allow others to do things honestly, but it may not be able to exchange for their integrity. This is Jinghan's idea.Now it seems that Jinghan's trick is right.Of course, this is also related to the quality of Chang'an and others. If it is the kind of cunning person, I am afraid it will not be like this.

An Fu and the others stood up, "Thank you sir, we will always remember the kindness of you and your wife for the rest of our lives."

Zixuan waved his hand, "What kindness is not kind? At the beginning, you were willing to come here with me and suffered hardships. I remember all of this. Now our life is better, and each of you has become a family. I I'm happy to see it. Sit down and let's have a drink."

Everyone toasted together, drank the first glass of wine together, and then drank and ate their own food.When the men were together, it was inevitable that they would punch their fists to make a drinking order or something, so the hall became very lively within a short time, and there were all kinds of voices.

As for Jinghan and the other female relatives, they are naturally in the backyard.Chuntao, Chunxing, Chunmei, Chunlan, Ruxue and others also came back, some of them still holding their children.The women in the room are all at a beautiful and youthful age, and they are also very gorgeous and happy in their clothes.For a while, the room was full of fragrant clothes and shadows, rings and jingles, which was another style.

Jinghan looked at these women who used to serve by her side, and now all of them are doing well, and she is also happy for them.Ruyu and Rumei, who followed from home at the beginning, have taken root in the capital since they went to the capital that year.Later, she married the manager of a shop in the capital, and now she is doing very well.When the people around her are doing well, Jinghan feels very happy.

Since Qing Ning was still breastfeeding, Jing Han couldn't drink alcohol, so she had no choice but to bring a glass of nectar water for a while. "Come on, let's all have a drink. Although you can't drink, it's kind of interesting. Over the years, you have suffered a lot with me. Here, I thank you all."

All the girls laughed, "Madam, look at what you said, we all regard Madam as our relatives. This is our natal family, and Madam is our elder sister, so what is there to worry about?" Ruxue smiled road.

"Yes, what Ruxue said is right, we all treat my wife like a family member. If we are wronged in the future, my wife will have to vent our anger on us." Chuntao also said.

"Why are you being wronged or not? I'd rather you don't have to vent your anger on me than you should be wronged." Jing Han said with a smile. "Okay, there's no need to say anything, let's just eat and drink well, and have a good reunion tonight."

Jinghan looked at Xiaojuan who was beside her, "Sister Xiaojuan, you can eat too, we are all one family, let's let go." Today's Xiaojuan is not the same as when she first came here.Without her mother-in-law's bullying and abuse, Xiaojuan's whole person has changed, and her originally thin cheeks have become round.There is no longer a sad expression on his face, but a smile on everyone he sees.The dry hair also became black and bright, and the skin became much whiter and smoother.At this moment, Xiaojuan is a beautiful young woman.

Look at the lotus next to Xiaojuan. In the past year, the little girl has worn a lot.Originally thin and dry, like a three or four-year-old child, now he looks like a six or seven-year-old.The small face is round, with beautiful dimples on both cheeks, the big eyes are black and bright, and the eyelashes are long, like two small fans.This little lotus can be regarded as a little beauty.

"I would also like to thank Madam. If Madam hadn't rescued us, our mother and I would have been tortured to death? Now we can live a stable life, and Lotus can still follow Madam's side, read and write, and study medicine. , This is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes. Thank you, madam." Xiaojuan said, and she was about to salute Jinghan.

"Sister, what are you doing? Don't talk about the relationship we grew up with, just say that Lotus is my adopted daughter now, and the two of us are considered a family. You are still so polite, and you deliberately make it difficult for me. Is it?" Jinghan quickly supported Xiaojuan. "Now you don't have to be angry anymore, Lotus will have a bright future. My sister will take good care of her body, and she will have a few more children in a while, so there will be more hope in this day."

Xiaojuan nodded, "Yes, if I can have two more children, this life will be considered complete." Xiaojuan pulled the lotus flower over, "Girl, you have to remember, your stepmother is our family's mother." Great benefactor. You can ignore your mother in the future, but you must be filial to your adoptive mother, do you hear me?"

He Hua nodded, and said very obediently, "Mother, I will be filial to my mother in the future, and I will be filial to my mother. You are the closest people to He Hua. When He Hua grows up, he will earn a lot of money, and then let his mother Live a good life so that others will never dare to bully my mother again."

After listening to her daughter's words, Xiaojuan couldn't hold back for a while, and tears fell. "Okay, mother is waiting, mother will count on the lotus from now on." As she spoke, she hugged her daughter and began to cry.

Jinghan hurriedly persuaded, "Sister Xiaojuan, look at you, what are you doing? You can't cry like this when it's Chinese New Year. Come on, Lotus, wipe your mother's tears, tell her not to cry, and eat well .”

Lotus really took the handkerchief and wiped Xiaojuan's eyes. "Mom, let's not cry, we will live a good life in the future, don't cry."

"This child, I don't know how he grew up. He has a small mouth and can speak." Qian said with a smile on the side.

Looking at the lotus, Jinghan couldn't help but think of her two sons, and now she doesn't know how her son is doing?It's been almost a year, has Qingyao forgotten about her mother?Jinghan's heart was sour, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her eyes, but somehow she held back her tears.

"Come on, let's eat vegetables. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year should be happy." Han forced a smile, and then quickly picked up vegetables and ate them.

Seeing Jing Han's appearance, Qian knew that she was missing her son, so she sighed and didn't say anything.

It took a long time for everyone to eat a meal. Where did everyone eat here?They're all chattering there.When they finished their meal, it was already mid-hour, and everyone worked together to clear the table.

"Take a break, let's make dumplings together later. Tonight, let's watch the New Year together." Jinghan no longer thinks about her son.Anyway, the son is at home, so he won't be wronged. When the war is over, he will be brought back.

The men in the front yard were still drinking there.Everyone drank a little too much, and some people's tongues were a little straight.

That General Li pulled Zixuan and said, "Lord Lin, your younger brother and brother-in-law are really talented. They are outstanding in everything, such as bow horse riding and shooting. I heard that there are scholars who are famous for their achievements. Really? They are both civil and military. To be honest, they are a bit inferior to me. What I mean is, let them hone with me for a while. Don’t worry about making meritorious deeds. After all, they have not been trained. Once on the battlefield, I am afraid of lack of experience."

Zixuan nodded. Originally, he just wanted to let Ziwen hone his skills. As for making meritorious deeds, this is not delusional.

Everyone was happily chatting, when suddenly a person came in outside and came to Zixuan's side, "My lord, there is an urgent report from outside the city, saying that they have found traces of the Beiyuan army on the border, and there are about three miles away from our pass." Ten miles away. It looks like there are quite a few people, at least 3 to [-] people."

The man's voice wasn't too loud, but General Li was right next to Zixuan, and he could hear clearly, "What? The army from Beiyuan Kingdom is here? His grandma, these bastards, even The Chinese New Year does not let people stop. Come, follow the general and go out to meet the enemy."
