Chapter 149 New Year's Eve
"Mom, that uncle just now was really powerful. He could breathe fire."
"Just like this, 'Puff!' and the fire burst into flames..."
The snow is falling heavily.
Cheng Shuyi didn't bring an umbrella, so he thought of going home to get one before going to the ice of the moat to set off firecrackers.
The two kids walked half the street.
The last thing I watched was a juggler, and I was still savoring it along the way.
"Are you cold?" Cheng Shuyi held a child in each hand, and their hands were a little cold.
The two cubs' faces were red from the cold, but they couldn't hide their excitement, "It's not cold!"
The mother and her two children walked to the entrance of Pingxi Lane.
No one was sweeping the snow in Pingxi Lane, and there were few pedestrians. Everyone was playing on Changsheng Street.
The snow was as clean as cotton, without even a footprint.
When the two cubs saw this, they immediately let go of Cheng Shuyi's hands, threw themselves onto the snow, and left their own human forms.
Cheng Shuyi was about to speak out to stop him when he caught a glimpse of Pei Yanli walking not far away.
There were so many people living on Changsheng Street that children were running around, making it impossible for them to ride horses.
Pei Yanli was wearing a purple-black python robe, holding a horse in his left hand and an umbrella in his right hand as he walked among the crowd.
There are snowflakes on the umbrella, and the sleeves of the clothes flutter in the wind.
Under the umbrella stood a handsome face with picturesque features, cold and aloof, like the moon reflected in a cold pond, making people afraid to approach.
Cheng Shuyi stood at the entrance of the alley and watched quietly, feeling relieved.
What a handsome man!
Pei Yanli seemed to feel her gaze, looked up in the crowd, and saw her at a glance.
"Shuyi!"
Pei Yanli quickened his pace, his eyes lit up, and walked quickly towards her.
I saw that she didn't have an umbrella and her shoulders and hair were covered with snow.
He moved the umbrella in his hand over and asked with a smile, "Are you waiting for me?"
Cheng Shuyi was not waiting for him, they just met by chance.
But considering that he had just performed a famous scene in the snow, she might also be waiting for him.
"Yes, I'm waiting for you." Cheng Shuyi smiled, his eyes never leaving his face. "Why are you back so early?"
She thought he would be even later.
She and her children haven't gone to the moat to set off firecrackers yet.
"I'll leave after two drinks."
Pei Yanli moved the reins to the hand holding the umbrella, freeing his left hand to hold hers.
"It's snowing so hard, there's really no need for you to come out and wait for me."
Cheng Shuyi simply let him continue to misunderstand and coaxed him: "The snow is heavy, the alley is dark, and my husband is so handsome, I am worried."
Um?
When she said this, Pei Yanli immediately understood that she was teasing him.
But to his surprise, he was quite sold on it.
Because of this simple sentence, he was so happy that his mouth turned up.
He bent down and kissed her secretly in the alley.
Back home.
Pei Yanli changed out of his official robe, took some fireworks and firecrackers, and the family of four went out again.
He was glad that he had resigned early.
It was the first time for his two children to celebrate the New Year in Shengjing, and he was lucky to be able to accompany them.
"Dad, help me order!"
Pei Yanli was standing by the bridge holding a tinderbox. His daughter came to him and asked him to help light the fairy wand, and then she ran away.
A group of half-grown children were attracted by the beautiful sparks and surrounded Xu Xu.
The son is bolder.
He held a stick of lit incense and set off firecrackers and sky rockets on the grass by the moat.
There was also a group of little boys following him.
Yan'er and Chang'er are not here. They both went to the palace with their father.
This was a rare opportunity for them to enter the palace, so of course they had to go.
Because Pei Yanli was there, he helped them move a large box of fireworks and firecrackers out to set off.
The two kids had a lot of fun.
They were willing to go home only after everyone on the moat had dispersed and gone home to celebrate the New Year.
"Mom, I'm hungry..." said my brother, touching his stomach.
I ran around Changsheng Street tonight and played in the moat for a long time.
He was already hungry.
The younger sister who was carried home on Pei Yanli's shoulders was also clamoring for food.
Cheng Shuyi held his son's hand while holding an umbrella and said, "Then let's go home and heat up some food!"
We have to stay up tonight to celebrate the New Year, even if it means not sleeping.
A family of four was walking home, but before they got home, they saw several people standing at their front door.
Those people were all holding umbrellas, wearing low-key robes, and standing quietly on the steps in front of their house.
Under the candlelight, the shadows of several people were stretched very long.
Cheng Shuyi and Pei Yanli recognized them at a glance.
It’s Sheng Hong and Mo Xiao.
When Sheng Hong and Mo Xiao saw them coming back, they immediately sent away the guards beside them and waited with a smile for Pei Yanli and his family to come back and open the door.
Pei Yanli frowned slightly and asked bluntly, "Why are you here?"
It’s the Chinese New Year.
Why don’t they stay at home to celebrate the New Year? Why do they come to someone else’s house?
Isn't this disturbing the warm moment of their family of four?
Sheng Hong drank a few more glasses at the palace banquet tonight, and made an excuse of feeling unwell to go back to the palace to rest, not allowing the empress dowager and anyone else to disturb him.
This is how he was able to sneak out.
There is no need to mention Mo Xiao.
He was eager to have somewhere to go tonight.
If he stayed at home to celebrate the New Year, his parents would definitely urge him to get married all night long.
So the two of them discussed it and came here.
They believe that celebrating the New Year at Cheng’s house will definitely be more fun!
"We are here to wish you a happy new year and give you red envelopes." Sheng Hong looked at the two children lovingly.
Cheng Shuyi opened the door and said, "Since you're here, come in."
It’s the Chinese New Year.
Since you are here.
What reason does she have to chase people away?
And it is normal to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.
"I'll go heat up the food. Would you like to eat?" Cheng Shuyi looked at the two guests.
"Eat!" Mo Xiao said without hesitation, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law!"
Cheng Shuyi added water to the leftover rice in the pot and cooked porridge.
I went to the vegetable shed in the yard, picked some lettuces, cut them into shreds, cut the ham into cubes, and put them in a pot to cook into vegetable and ham porridge.
Just add a plate of shredded pickled mustard greens and a plate of peanuts.
It is a bit simple, but fortunately they are all new, not leftovers.
Pei Yanli had already helped the two children change their clothes and boiled some hot water for them to wash their hands and faces.
The two children played in the snow all night, and their clothes and shoes were covered with snow.
My face is also frozen.
Let them roast over the charcoal brazier for quite a while.
Sheng Hong and Mo Xiao were sitting in the main hall when they saw Cheng Shuyi bring in the porridge.
They pointed to the white cloth hanging on the wall opposite the sofa in the living room and asked, "What is that?"
These things are only available in Yun City.
And they had just rummaged through the cabinets on the wall, which contained some boxes connected to electrical wires.
The two people who had been to Yun City were not surprised by this.
I just don't know what this thing is used for.
"That's a projection." Cheng Shuyi put the porridge on the table. "I plan to use it to kill time while I stay up all night tonight."
There wasn't much entertainment in Shengjing City, so in order to avoid being bored, she started preparing these things a few days ago.
She has downloaded the Spring Festival Gala.
"Projection?" Sheng Hong was puzzled. "This shouldn't mean a projection on the lake, right? How do you use this thing?"
