The New Year arrives on New Year’s Eve.
There are no nobles living in the mansion this year, so there is no need to follow the rules.
He also severed ties with the Annan Marquisate, and no longer had to go to that somewhat eerie mansion.
The family finally doesn’t have to go through the same thrilling experience as last year and can spend a peaceful year.
In the evening, the whole family stays up together to celebrate the New Year.
The general's family is very easy-going and doesn't act like masters.
Qin Nanjing arranged for everyone in the mansion to celebrate New Year's Eve together this year.
There is no distinction between master and servant tonight.
A circle of braziers was lit in the yard, fruits and other food were moved outside, and a barbecue was set up in the yard.
In order to compete with vendors outside the mansion for attention, the chefs in the general's mansion are proficient in all kinds of cuisines from all over the world.
Small barbecue, easy to take down.
Rong Yuanyou and Rong Chaoxi stayed by the grill, their saliva dripping from their mouths.
Qin Nanjing and Rong Baichuan played Mahjong.
Every time Rong Baichuan was about to lose, he would act like a great general.
Wang Ren and others gritted their teeth and had no choice but to give him the cards.
We agreed that today there will be no distinction between master and servant!!!
Rong Xuqing learned how to make pastries.
However, she really knew nothing except playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Even the step-by-step teaching can be a mess.
Rong Chaoxi was disgusted every time he saw her.
"Xu Qing, just stop doing it..." A disdainful voice suddenly appeared, "My eldest brother is a great cook, let him do it from now on."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was the Jiang family coming.
"General Rong, Madam Rong, I hope I'm not disturbing you." Madam Jiang smiled sheepishly, "My little girl had to come over at this time to join in the fun."
In the Jiang family, only Jiang Xinran and Jiang Lingcheng are lively. Lord Jiang and Jiang Lingyu can be considered as dull.
Mrs. Chiang was also a person of few words.
It’s really boring to stay up all night with them.
Jiang Xinran clamored to come here.
Now that the two families are in-laws, no one will say anything whenever they visit each other.
So they came over with a thick face.
"Don't bother me, don't bother me..." Qin Nanjing hurriedly stood up to greet him, "It's just that our dinner today isn't a traditional feast, so I'm sorry to bother you."
“No, no…”
After exchanging pleasantries, the two families each joined in the game that suited them.
Jiang Lingyu was forced to sit opposite Rong Baichuan and play mahjong.
He had never encountered this before, and under Rong Baichuan's deliberate targeting, he was defeated miserably.
Jiang Xinran also joined in making pastries.
It can be said that they are worthy of being best friends, as they did the same thing.
"Huh..." Rong Chaoxi passed by with disgust.
With a roll of his eyes, he grabbed a piece and walked to the barbecue grill, then gave it to Jiang Lingcheng.
"Little brother, this is for you. It's delicious." Rong Chaoxi looked sincere.
Jiang Lingcheng is three years old this year. He will go to school in the palace in February and has already learned the rules.
He folded his hands and bowed solemnly to Chaoxi, "Thank you, sister Chaoxi."
He took the red pastry of unknown shape from Chaoxi's hand and took a big bite without any precautions.
"Hiss..." Rong Yuanyou took a breath of cold air.
He never dared to eat big mouthfuls of food given to him by his younger sister when she was still hungry.
As expected, the next moment, Jiang Lingcheng's face turned red, and then he cried out "Ah".
"What's the matter? What's the matter..." Qin Nanjing and Mrs. Jiang hurried over to comfort her.
“It’s so spicy... wuwuwu...” Jiang Lingcheng cried and stuck out his tongue.
Rong Chaoxi covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"Chao Xi..." Qin Nan looked over quietly.
Rong Chaoxi pointed at Jiang Xinran and said, "Sister Jiang did it."
"You add chili peppers to the pastries?" Rong Xuqing was shocked.
"Just some innovation..." Jiang Xinran said innocently.
Rong Xuqing looked disgusted and said, "Go away."
"Oh~~~" Jiang Xinran dragged out a gentle tone, "I'll go, I'll go, I'll find you someone you don't dislike."
Jiang Lingyu was dragged off the card table and placed next to Rong Xuqing. "I found it for you. Take it."
As he said this, he deliberately pushed the two of them together.
"Oh my god, hahaha..." teasing laughter was heard all around.
The two parties' faces turned red instantly.
Jiang Lingyu secretly covered Rong Xuqing's flour-covered fingers and whispered, "Let me teach you how to do it."
He actually learned how to make pastry and he has a talent for it.
"What a perfect match..." Lord Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
Rong Baichuan felt that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy!
The sky was completely dark and the moon was high in the sky.
Everyone ate and drank, watched the brilliant fireworks, and stayed up together happily. It was really heartwarming.
Qin Nanjing gave red envelopes to the children and also gave red envelopes worth three times their monthly wages to the servants in the mansion.
Rong Chaoxi was holding ten big red envelopes and smiling from ear to ear.
Wang Ren had a bitter face. He had just received the triple monthly salary, and it was still hot.
"Alas..." Steward Lin sighed heavily, "Who told you not to run away? Look at Uncle Fu and the others. After receiving the red envelope, they immediately said something happened in the kitchen and ran away."
Except for Wang Ren, Nanny Yan and Yan Zhu, the older people in the mansion all kept their red envelopes.
