Rongguo Mansion.

As the end of the year approaches, according to previous years, Rong Mansion has become busy both inside and outside, preparing for the New Year.

It is far less simple than buying a house for small households to make dumplings during the New Year.

The Duke's Mansion will change from the main gate, ritual gate, hall, warm pavilion, inner hall, three inner doors, inner ritual gate and inner door to the main hall. The main gate will be replaced with new door gods, couplets, plaques, and new peach talismans.

At the steps on both sides, you must also prepare a large vermilion red light.

When it gets up on New Year's Eve, it will be lit up.

Because the servants in the mansion have been reduced by almost half and there are many new people left, they are all busy without any heels.

Jia Qiang walked all the way and only realized before entering the second door, asking Lin Zhixiao: "How do we prepare these in our mansion? Are Li Yong and the others lazy?"

Lin Zhixiao hurriedly smiled and said, "The Marquis was joking, how dare they be lazy? It's just... it's just this... After all, there is a filial piety in the East Mansion this year, so it's not easy to decorate the lights."

“…”

Jia Qiang: "Okay, go ahead and go!"

...

Rongqing Hall.

The whole house is bright, and the lit smoke cage makes the house steam and fragrant.

Laughing and joy.

After Jia Qiang entered the door, he saw Jia Mu, Aunt Xue, Li Wan, Feng Jie'er, Sanchun sisters, Baochai, Baoqin and Xiangyun were all there. Even Daiyu came again today, and it was a very lively group.

The eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one...

Huh? It's nothing unusual!!

He still smiled at each other, no different from the past.

Underestimate people...

Women are indeed born to be actors, which makes him worry for a long time...

"What are you looking at? You don't say anything when you come in, just look around!"

When the superior Jia Mu saw Jia Qiang's appearance, she asked curiously.

Daiyu continued: "Why do you think you look like a thief is guilty? It can be seen that you have done something bad! "

Jia Qiang was shocked, but said calmly: "There is no bad thing? It's just to see if you know what's happening outside."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Yu'er came here early in the morning because she was afraid that we would not understand and worry. Since your husband said that resigning from office is a good thing, so as not to be too popular and jealous of others, then we will be relieved. It is difficult for you to know that we are worried!"

When Jia Qiang heard this, he looked at Daiyu with a little guilty feeling, bowed and said, "Junior Sister Lao has trouble!"

"Pooh!"

Daiyu looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't mess around!"

Daiyu knows him more, and she can tell at a glance that she doesn’t know what good things she has done.

But she felt sorry for Jia Qiang and always gave him enough decentness in front of others and would not make trouble with him.

He didn't say it, she didn't ask much, as long as she was at the right moment.

After Jia Qiang sat down, Jia Mu asked, "You just came back from the palace? You have been back from outside for four or five days. You only slept at home for one night. You all fell asleep in the palace at night. You can't go to the palace today?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "This is an extraordinary decency and holy family. Generally, even ordinary royal families do not have such decency."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I don't even see how much Brother Qiang has done for the Tian family... However, the Empress loves him a little, which is true." She asked Jia Qiang again, "I heard that you have a guest here just now?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "The Duke Zhenguo Mansion and the Duke Liguo Mansion have left after discussing some things."

Jia Mu said with some concern: "They still listen to you?"

Jia Qiang lost her official position and lost her power, so she couldn't feel at ease.

Jia Qiang waved his hand and smiled, "I have never heard of it before. They just used some suggestions I made. They thought they were easy to use, so they used them. Now they are still like this."

After a little reaction, Jia Mu realized it and said with a funny look: "Just like you guys who are walking around a lot, if you are good, you have to turn a few turns."

Jia Qiang smiled, and Feng Jie'er looked happy on the side and said, "God, now I have gone to those annoying errands, so I can be considered a leisure time! No matter what, I don't have to see that the sky is not at home."

Jia Mu couldn't listen anymore and smiled and said, "Yesterday, I asked your aunt to go to Ping'er to discuss it to see if the East Mansion is coming to our place for the New Year this year. Did Ping'er tell you?"

To be honest! Ping'er still doesn't pay attention to him...

He smiled and nodded and said, "I said it, but... it's not very convenient? After New Year's Eve worship, there is no one left in the ancestral temple."

Jia Mu said, "Look carefully, and it's not allowed to leave. Those who are filial or not are not here. This year, your mansion will still be filial, and it will be considered neat when the New Year is over. You can't light the lights or hang red, and you can't even light firecrackers. What's the New Year? Besides, you are the only master in your mansion now, and you and Qin are the ones. How can you three celebrate the New Year? Next year, you, Yu'er and the princess, have a few masters. You can celebrate the New Year in the east."

Jia Qiang nodded, looked at Daiyu and asked, "How do you celebrate the New Year with you sir?"

Daiyu smiled with a pursed lips and said, "Of course I live at home!"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "That's it, when I'm just paying homage to the ancestors, I'll send all the people of the East Mansion here and go to the Buzhengfang."

Jia Mu: “…”

What is this? I went to the woman's house for the New Year. Are you going to marry into a marriage?

The sisters also smirked Daiyu, and Daiyu blushed and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Have a good time for your New Year!"

That's what he said, but Jia Qiang clearly saw the movement of his mind as he was flowing between his eyebrows and eyes.

Regarding his rebelliousness and courage, Daiyu is the best among the sisters of the Jia family!

The two looked at each other, and after Jia Qiang smiled, Daiyu angrily glanced at him and ignored him.

Jia Mu began to wonder what method to use to trip up the bastard's feet on New Year's Eve and prevent him from running to the Lin family.

Feng Jie'er suddenly laughed and said, "Qian'er, when will the clan school rest for the New Year? Jia Jun's mother came in the back porch several times. She didn't dare to ask you, just look for me to spin the mill."

Jia Qiang is unwilling to find me if you have something to do...

He thought for a while and said, "There is no need to hurry? Why do you do on vacation so early? Just put it on two days before the New Year, and you will be crazy when you come out."

"ah……"

Li Wan cried out after hearing this and said, "Do you have to wait until the holiday last year?"

Jia Qiang looked over and asked, "What's wrong with Aunt?"

Li Wan seemed a little ashamed, looked at Jia Qiang and lowered her head, saying, "The Li family was going to move back to Jinling, so she said she wanted to move in, but the old lady fell ill and was getting better now, and she wanted to go back to her hometown more and more. I thought, take Lan'er to take her away."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "That's easy. When will I send it? I'll ask Brother Lan to come out and send it to the Li family with you."

Li Wan smiled and said, "I booked the boat for the next day, and I said I could not rush back to my hometown for the New Year."

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to arrange it when I look back."

Jia Mu sighed: "The lady of the Li family is a good person. Your aunt's mother left early, and her stepmother was not kind to her. Do you think her personality is so honest? Which daughter was not lively and clever when she was a child? Later, the lady saw that something was wrong and took it to her and raised it. Why did I bring all the girls in my family to raise? I was afraid that they would suffer grievances. The most blessed life for a girl in her life is to be a girl at home. If she doesn't live well in these few years, then this life will be too hard."

Many people said this and his eyes were red, and Li Wan was the most fiercely crying.

This farewell between her and the wife of the Li family is probably a farewell forever.

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said to Li Wan: "Why would the aunt take Lan Ge'er and take the boat at home to send the lady to Jinling? Although the passenger ship outside can live in people, the conditions are very poor. In the cold winter, the canal is cold and wet, and it is not very effective to light a brazier. The lady may not be able to withstand it after recovering from a serious illness. The boat at home is equipped with heating and furnishings. In the future, the old lady and her concubine went to Nanzhou to travel to Wan, so she took this boat. You can go and send the lady to a trip first..."

What he said was not the boats of Daiyu and other girls, but the boats that Feng Jie'er's parents rode. Although they were not as good as the best one, they were definitely much better than most passenger ships today.

The boat that Daiyu and the others have lived in is just like their daughter's boudoir, so it is not easy for outsiders to live in.

Before Jia Qiang finished speaking, Jia Mu laughed and scolded, "Goodness is generous, but she is also a mess. You just borrow a boat, how can you let your aunt go to see it off? Her widow was unemployed, so she took her children and her parents' home to Jinling. What I don't know outside, maybe I think! Besides, how can I go back to my parents' home for the New Year? It's a trivial matter that the Jia family is not good-looking, and you don't care, but the Li family values ​​reputation the most, so how can you say it?"

Li Wan was already very grateful when she heard this and said, "There is no need to give it away, it is really not suitable. But can that boat really be borrowed... Is it cheap?"

The great kindness of the wife of the Li family to her was her most concerned thing.

In addition to Jia Lan, Mrs. Li's wife is the one she cares about the most.

Originally, she was unwilling to be involved with others, even if it was the Jia family, and she just wanted to do her duty and raise Jia Lan to become a talent as soon as possible.

Now I have to accept Jia Qiang's kindness...

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's not in vain to park there, it's a good thing to run twice more."

Li Wan thanked him with a smile, but no one else felt anything. Du Fengjie'er's eyes drifted left and right, looking here and there, thinking about something...

...

Imperial City, Fengzao Palace.

In the side hall, Li Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, sighing.

Yin Hou glanced at him with a blank look and teased, "Your father didn't pick you up, just laugh secretly, and she's still sighing! How did you and Jia Qiang promise your father yesterday? There's something going on today."

Li Xuan hurriedly said, "Mother, my son is not bad, but to be honest, I didn't spread rumors and fabricate them. If you don't believe me, please ask King Zhongshun!"

"Pooh!"

Queen Yin smiled angrily and said, "In front of me, do you dare to make nonsense and quibble? I warn you that your father can tolerate this time, but he can't tolerate the second time. Don't mess around anymore, otherwise you will really annoy the emperor, you will have a lot of things."

Li Xuan laughed dryly, scratched his head again, and said, "The Fourth Brother is really capable. So many royal families are going to cause trouble, so he will settle it alone. My son is confused when he faces those sect kings today..."

Upon hearing this, a hint of pity flashed in his phoenix eyes, pity for his silly son...
