Chapter 286 New Year's Eve
Stay up all night on New Year's Eve.
In the capital, big red lanterns are hung at the doors of every household, and the whole city is brightly lit.
The little phoenix was in a good mood because it received the gift, and it flew to the capital before midnight.
At this moment, Princess An Ran and Sheng Yunshao were sitting in the front hall waiting for Jiang Ruo and the others.
Sheng Yunshao was afraid that Princess Anran and the others would be bored, so after sending Nanny Cen and the others away, he told her about his past life.
Princess Anran realized something from the "story" he told.
So, is Ruoruo’s situation the same as his?
Sheng Yunshao looked at the sleepy Princess An Ran and muttered, "Why haven't these two children come yet?"
"Have you forgotten us?"
"Ruoxin, if you're sleepy, go lie down on the couch for a while."
Princess Anran heard this and chuckled softly, "The two children must have been tripped up by something. Let's wait a little longer."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
“Bang, bang!”
Sheng Yunshao stood up and walked to the door, quickly opening it.
When he saw Jiang Ruo and the other man standing outside, he immediately put on a smile, "Girl, son-in-law, you're finally here."
Jiang Ruo entered the front hall and said in a feigned anger, "Old man, you were just saying bad things about us."
Princess Anran came to Jiang Ruo and explained in a low voice, "Your father was getting a little impatient just now and thought you weren't coming."
Jiang Ruo chuckled and took off his cloak. "We rushed here straight after finishing our New Year's Eve dinner with Uncle Lin and the others."
"This is all thanks to Xiaofeng."
Xiao Chengjin and Xiao Fenghuang then entered the front hall.
"Hello, auntie, hello, old man." After saying hello, the little phoenix looked up to show off her necklace.
Sheng Yunshao looked at the golden necklace on the little phoenix's neck and couldn't help but praise it.
"Xiao Feng, your necklace is so beautiful, it almost blinded my eyes."
"Hey, this is pure gold and inlaid with gems. It must be worth a lot of silver!"
Little Phoenix was so flattered that she was dizzy. She shyly said, "My sister gave it to me."
"The gems on it are priceless."
Xiao Chengjin looked at this scene and held his forehead helplessly.
One dares to boast, the other dares to believe...
This gold necklace is shining brightly, isn’t it beautiful?
"Xiaofeng, this necklace is so valuable, hide it quickly." After Xiaofenghuang showed it off, Jiang Ruo sent it directly into the space.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Sheng Yunshao, who was beaming, and took a step forward. "Hello, father-in-law."
"Good son-in-law, come and sit down!" Sheng Yunshao said with enthusiasm.
A son-in-law is half a son.
Be nicer to him in the future!
Xiao Chengjin: Is my father-in-law too enthusiastic?
A little flattered.
When Jiang Ruo saw this scene, he secretly glanced at Princess An Ran.
In a moment, a blush appeared on Princess Anran's fair face.
Jiang Ruo: "......"
Something happened!
Oh my god! The old man couldn't be... Haha, it's progressing pretty fast.
Sheng Yunshao looked at Jiang Ruo's cunning eyes and his old face turned red.
Girl, it’s not what you think.
I, your father, am a serious man.
Sheng Yunshao suddenly remembered the big thing he had done some time ago.
He sat beside Princess Anran and said to Jiang Ruo, "Girl, some time ago, I beat up that old bastard Jiang Qinian."
Jiang Ruo raised an eyebrow when he heard this, "Did he provoke you?"
Sheng Yunshao quietly held Princess Anran's hand and said angrily, "He was thinking about your aunt, so I hit him."
Jiang Ruo chuckled, "Did he get injured?"
Sheng Yunshao looked very proud, "He wasn't crippled."
"But he was beaten pretty hard. I heard he was bedridden for several days."
"You don't know, his family is very poor, and now they rely on his salary to make a living."
Thinking about your own wife, isn't that just wanting to climb up the social ladder?
Pure trash!
Jiang Ruo covered her lips and smiled, "He was originally a poor boy, and now he's back to square one."
Princess Anran's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at Sheng Yunshao with joy in her eyes.
Xiao Chengjin looked at the two people who were being affectionate with each other and finally understood what was going on.
Seeing my aunt happy, I feel relieved.
For Princess Anran, this year's Chinese New Year is the happiest one in more than a decade.
Therefore, when Jiang Ruo and the other two arrived, they seemed particularly excited.
During the conversation, a burst of firecrackers was heard from the direction of the palace.
Sheng Yunshao heard the noise, stood up and said, "Let's get started!"
There are a lot of fireworks prepared for tonight.
He handed the fire starter to Xiao Chengjin, "Son-in-law, you set off the firecrackers first, then the fireworks."
Xiao Chengjin nodded and smiled at Jiang Ruo.
Well, this is to make my wife happy.
"Auntie, Ruoruo, cover your ears."
Xiao Chengjin lit the firecrackers and quickly returned to Jiang Ruo.
Sheng Yunshao glanced at Princess Anran who was covering her ears, and with a red face, he put his arms around her waist.
Princess Anran noticed Sheng Yunshao's little action and smiled.
After the sound of firecrackers stopped, Xiao Chengjin slowly lit the fireworks.
Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, attracting many people to watch.
The neighbors around looked at this scene and talked about it.
"This princess's mansion has been quiet for more than ten years, but this year seems different."
"Oh, it looks like Her Royal Highness the Princess is looking for a Prince Consort!"
"Yes, otherwise why would Her Royal Highness the Princess move back from Jing'an Temple?"
.......
When the fireworks finished burning, Sheng Yunshao leaned over to Princess Anran and whispered, "Ruoxin, every year from now on, we will watch the fireworks together."
Princess Anran's nose felt sore and her eyes turned red. "Okay!"
Xiao Chengjin looked at the heartwarming scene and said in a low voice, which was extremely depressing: "Finally I know why my aunt fell into the hands of my father-in-law."
"Such sweet talk."
Sheng Yunshao: “….”
I can't have this stinky son-in-law anymore.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Chengjin and shouted angrily: "You little bastard, it's New Year's Day, do you deserve a beating?"
Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo aggrievedly, "Ruo Ruo, my father-in-law is being mean to me again."
Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Chengjin, who was acting like a green tea girl, and rolled her eyes at him. "We were originally quite romantic, but you came out and messed it up. It really ruined the mood, don't you understand?"
I'm glad I didn't beat you up.
Hearing this, Xiao Chengjin shook his head helplessly, "Ruoruo, I was wrong."
Sheng Yunshao snorted coldly, "It is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and then improve."
.......
Aunt Cen looked at the lively scene and couldn't stop smiling.
She went to the kitchen happily.
After arriving at the kitchen, the cook said, "Butler Cen, the dumplings are ready."
Nanny Cen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask the masters to return to the dining hall."
She ran back to the courtyard and bowed to Princess An Ran and the others, "Masters, the dumplings are ready, let's all hurry back to the dining hall!"
Princess Anran smiled and said to Aunt Cen, "Aunt Cen, thank you for your hard work."
"Wait a minute, call everyone over and we'll have reunion dumplings together."
Sheng Yunshao said at the right moment: "There are also red envelopes to be taken."
"Yes, master." Nanny Cen responded and turned to leave.
The princess's mansion was filled with joy.
......
Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Qinian stood in the deserted yard, listening to the laughter of his neighbors, looking a little dazed.
His mind suddenly emerged with the New Year's Eve of last year...
Thinking of this, he murmured to himself: "Why did this family fall apart?"
"In just one year...everything has changed."
The servant Aping came over with a cloak, and after hearing these words, he subconsciously stopped.
He complained in his heart: Master, you shouldn't have treated the eldest lady like that.
You may not have noticed that ever since you arranged for the eldest daughter to get married, accidents have happened one after another in the mansion.
So, the eldest daughter is the lucky star of this family.
You are the one who caused all this...
The servant Aping sighed slightly, walked over and put the cloak on Jiang Qinian.
"Master, it's cold at night, please go back to your room!"
When Jiang Qinian heard these familiar words, he seemed to see Nangong Li standing in front of him with a sweet smile.
"Husband, it's cold at night, hurry back to your room!"
"Ali..." Jiang Qilin murmured in a young voice, took a step forward, and raised his hand to grab it.
The next moment, Nangong Li's phantom disappeared...
Jiang Qinian suddenly came to his senses and his body trembled violently.
At this moment, his emotions completely collapsed, and he turned around and ran straight into the room.
The servant Aping stood there hesitating for a while, then turned around and went back to his room.
Alas, this is probably what it means: There must be something hateful about a pitiful person!
It's all my own fault.
