Chapter 29 New Year
The New Year is coming the day after tomorrow! This is Jiang Yuyan's first time celebrating the New Year in this alien world. So she asked Xiao Yuanyan to pick up Zhou Yuanshan and his son to have fun together...
On New Year's Eve, the Suxin courtyard was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Jiang Yuyan placed the dining table directly in the courtyard, and ate the New Year's Eve dinner while looking at the red lanterns all over the courtyard, which was quite festive.
The servants were rewarded with a table of almost identical dishes, and they all expressed their admiration for the kindness of their master.
Jiang Yuyan personally guided Bai Lian to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. The taste was slightly different from the Dayue national cuisine, such as white braised four treasures, first-class tofu, vinegar fish fillet, lotus root chicken mushroom...
The name of the dish was something no one had ever heard of, but once they started eating, they were captivated by the delicacy and praised it loudly. It felt like the imperial palace cuisine was no better than this!
Jiang Yuyan was filled with mixed emotions as she looked at the table of hometown dishes. She had disappeared for no reason and she didn't know if anyone would still remember her in her original era.
I was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicably sad.
Xiao Yuanyan felt her emotions, gently held her hand and caressed it, his eyes full of comfort.
Jiang Yuyan looked at him and felt relieved. Yes, she was married now. Here, she had a lover, friends, and a new beginning.
Jiang Yuyan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, blowing away all the sorrow.
She smiled and toasted Zhou Yuanshan, who readily accepted the toast and happily handed her a red envelope.
Jiang Yuyan was stunned. In the past, she only received transfers from her father and uncle during the Chinese New Year. This was the first time she received such a tangible red envelope.
She smiled obediently: "Second Dad still treats me as a child!"
Xiao Yuanyan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "As long as you don't have a baby, you can have it."
Jiang Yuyan was so embarrassed that she stepped on him under the table. Xiao Yuanyan felt like he was being tickled and laughed.
Zhou Yuanshan was in a very good mood seeing the good relationship between the young couple, and he drank one glass of wine after another.
Zhou Yuanchun also wanted to try it, but Xiao Yuanyan snatched the glass away in a flash. Zhou Yuanchun walked around the table and called out, "Brother, brother," which made the atmosphere quite lively.
Jiang Yuyan looked at Zhou Yuanchun who had grown taller, and with a smile she stuffed a heavy purse into his hand.
"Come, I'll give you some New Year's money too." Jiang Yuyan said, "Study hard and you'll get a good score in the imperial examination in the future!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Zhou Yuanchun blushed and felt embarrassed. He took a sneak peek and felt that his sister-in-law was even prettier! She looked like a fairy, and so gentle and kind!
After dinner, Jiang Yuyan asked her servants to serve some tea and snacks to help everyone refresh themselves and stay up till the New Year.
There was not much entertainment in ancient times, and Jiang Yuyan was very bored. At this time, she thought of Xie Jingyu. This boy always made her laugh and time passed quickly. She wondered if he was doing well in the capital.
I thought of Qin Shangyu again. The Qin family’s old house is very close to Suxin Courtyard. Should I pay a visit?
Jiang Yuyan just had this thought and shook her head again, not right...
Seeing that she looked bored, Xiao Yuanyan was just about to take her out for a walk when he heard Zhang Quan come in and report, "Madam, there is a young man outside the door who wants to see you."
Jiang Yuyan stood up suddenly and said, "Please come in," and the person quickly came to the Chuihua Gate to greet her.
"Shang Yu!" Jiang Yuyan said in surprise, "I thought you were at home with your grandfather, why are you here?"
I don't know when Jiang Yuyan started calling him by his name. Qin Shangyu's heart was cracked open, and sugar was sprinkled all over it. His face, like a banished immortal, was also slightly ruddy at this moment.
"Grandfather is old, I have already let him go to bed. It's still early now, so I'm sorry to bother you!"
He turned around and greeted Xiao Yuanyan, "Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Yuanyan had a good impression of Qin Shangyu and was very friendly. After all, he was a young master from a wealthy family, well-behaved and polite, and did not fight or compete. After the New Year, Jiang Yuyan would have to choose two more husbands. Instead of looking for someone she didn't know the details of, it would be better to let Wanwan obey her heart.
Xiao Yuanyan sighed inwardly and returned the greeting.
Qin Shangyu waved his hand, and two servants came forward, one carrying a gift box and the other holding a zither. He smiled gently and said, "The cook at home made some snacks for you to try, and by the way, come and ask Wanwan for some songs."
The word "Wanwan" was called softly and gently, quite shyly.
This was the first time that Young Master Qin cared so much about someone, and it was also the first time that he took such a proactive action.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuyan and the other person didn't care. They smiled and gave him a seat and served him tea.
"Last time I saw that you played the flute very well, so I found a white jade flute for you. I wish you a happy new year."
Qin Shangyu took out a crystal clear white jade flute from his arms. It was decorated with red tassels, which was very beautiful.
"Thank you, Shang Yu!" Jiang Yuyan said happily.
He took the flute and tried to play it. "It sounds really good." He said embarrassedly, "I haven't prepared a New Year's gift for you yet."
Qin Shangyu was also happy to see her happy, "No problem, why don't you play a song with me? Let's play the "Pure Heart and Universal Good Mantra"
That was the music score given by Jiang Yuyan, so she naturally agreed with a smile.
Two people sat down, one played the flute and the other played the piano.
A bright and relaxing song flows in the winter night, expressing the joy of revenge, freedom and indulgence in the world of martial arts.
This song makes people feel relaxed and happy, and their hearts are filled with excitement.
As the fireworks bloomed in the distance, everyone exclaimed and the emotions reached a climax.
Xiao Yuanyan tapped the rhythm with his fingers, then drew out his sword, made a sword flower, and flew into the yard to dance.
All I saw was the flashing of swords and the fluttering of clothes. What a heroic young knight riding a horse with flowers on his back!
Jiang Yuyan and Qin Shangyu looked at each other and laughed. It was such a wonderful night and their lives were worth it.
