Chapter 396 New Year's Eve
When Fu Xuanting came back, it was already evening.
She saw everyone's gloomy expressions and knew the reason.
"Xuan Sheng, come here."
Fu Xuanting walked over and took out a jade pendant from her sleeve.
"To heal your wounds."
Fu Xuansheng: ...And this treatment.
"No need, sis."
"How can I not use it? If I beat you, I have to give you silver. If my sister-in-law beats me, she has to give me silver too." Fu Xuanting's abacus beads jumped onto Shen Yunyue's face.
Shen Yunyue rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"Girl, you are outgoing. You have fought hard for your Master Duan."
Fu Xuanting shook her head and said:
"My dowry is my confidence. I told him that he is an excellent future number one scholar, but the girls from my Fu family are not bad either, and are even better than his family."
There was a hint of a smile on Shen Yunyue's lips.
I left the front yard and came to the kitchen.
Today is New Year's Eve, and all the food needs to be prepared.
"Muya, fry more vinegar meat and more meatballs."
"Young Madam. Sister Ou and the others are making fried food next door." Mu Ya hurried over to introduce.
When you open the steamer, you will find braised pork with preserved vegetables, steamed fish, steamed pork ribs with betel nut and taro, eight-treasure rice pudding, steamed fish...
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was cooked in a casserole as tall as a person.
Braised pork is stewing on the stove next to it.
"How many kinds of pastries have you prepared?" Shen Yunyue seemed to have forgotten her previous nervousness and asked calmly about today's banquet.
"Eight kinds of cakes and six kinds of sweet soups."
"Prepare melon seeds, peanuts, and candies." Shen Yunyue gave detailed instructions.
"I'm ready."
"Chun He, go check the drinks. There must be enough drinks in the hall today, and the heaters in the next room must be lit."
Chunhe and Qiuhe wrote it down on the side.
"Prepare some more blankets for the couch in the hall."
"This servant will take note of this."
After giving the instructions, Shen Yunyue walked along the corridor back to the backyard.
Seeing Shen Yunzheng and the others squatting outside playing with lanterns, I couldn't help but think of the small fireworks in the space. They were the most suitable things for children to play with.
She let the little fool out.
"Little fool, why don't you go play with Snowball?"
The little fool rolled around happily in the yard. The little fool, who had become a treasure of the family, attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.
It happily chased Shen Yunzheng.
"Yunhai. Come here." Shen Yunyue held a handful of small fireworks in her hand, "Take them and play with the brothers."
Little Lingbao came over staggeringly.
"Sister, I want one too."
"You can't play." Shen Yunyue smiled and picked up Lingbao, reaching out to pinch her chubby little face.
Shen Yunfeng, Yuncheng and several other little guys all gathered together.
"Sister, what is this?"
"Have you got any flint?"
"Yes." Fu Xuansheng took the flint and handed it to Shen Yunyue.
Shen Yunyue handed Lingbao in her arms to Shen Yuncheng and lit the fireworks herself.
Swing it with your hands, the fireworks will spark and draw various patterns as you swing them.
Shen Yunfeng and others were stunned.
"Sister, I want one too."
"I want one too."
Shen Yunzheng saw it and ran over quickly, "Sister, I..."
He ran too fast and fell flat on his face when he got there. He stood up crying, tears still welling up in his eyes when he saw a handful of fireworks in front of him.
He quickly smiled.
Shen Yunzheng went out to play with fireworks.
Shen Yunyue took a few special fireworks and placed them in the room next to the flower hall. She wanted to take this opportunity to let the people of Shihanzhou regard this as an auspicious sign from heaven.
In order to have good fortune from heaven, I specially asked the little fool to exchange for customized fireworks.
Shen Yunyue came to the flower hall.
Red lanterns were lit on all the trees along the roadside of the Fu and Shen families, and even every bamboo house was covered with lanterns.
The Fu family’s courtyard is decorated in a particularly festive manner.
Red, yellow and purple are everywhere.
Fu Xuanheng did not hide his ambition at all and used bright yellow at home.
In the flower hall.
Pots of colorful camellia flowers are placed along the corners.
The flower hall is divided into two areas.
One area is where men eat and drink.
The two old men of the Shen family, Shen Ci Tong, as well as Mr. Ke, Ye Cang, Fu Xuanheng, Ling Moxuan, Eighth Uncle Yun, Ninth Uncle Yun, Mu Xiujin, Long Yizi and Rong Yin.
On the other side were Shen Yunyue and a group of female relatives.
There were many female relatives, so they were divided into two tables.
The two old ladies of the Shen family, Shen Zhou and Shen Lu, Mo Yiran, Liu Xiaoyun and Shen Ci'en were at the same table.
Shen Yunyue, Fu Xuanting, the Queen, Li Weiyang, Mo Youting, and Liu Feifei sat at the same table.
It was also because Old Lady Shen and the others felt uncomfortable sitting at the same table with the young people, after all, the Queen of Nanli Kingdom was among them.
Mu Ya came over and added a few pieces of silver charcoal into the stove.
There is a copper stove on the small table next to it.
After Mu Ya opened it, she put some Baizhuoxiang in it.
A faint fragrance filled the room.
The Queen and Li Weiyang came hand in hand, "Yunyue, are you done?"
Shen Yunyue picked a camellia and put it to her nose, sniffing it gently. "Only after I finish dealing with those troubles today can I have a happy New Year."
Li Weiyang touched her belly.
"My body is getting heavier. I have to get up at night all the time lately, and I really don't want to get up." Li Weiyang was a little distressed.
Shen Yunyue smiled and said:
"You will have to work harder in the future."
The queen looked envious and said, "I would rather work so hard." Unfortunately, she was too old.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to get pregnant.
Shen Yunyue noticed the empress's gloomy mood and placed a hand on her wrist. "Your body is very suitable for pregnancy. Ask the Imperial Master to be more diligent these days."
"It's a good day for conception."
Before Shen Yunyue finished speaking, the Queen's face had already turned red.
She glared at Shen Yunyue in annoyance, "After all, you are the youngest, why do you talk like that..."
"Haha, I'm a doctor."
In a short while.
Everyone from the Shen family came over.
Fu Xuanheng and the others also entered the flower hall.
The table was filled with side dishes and cakes. Ye Cang glanced at the cakes and then looked away.
"Shen Yunyue, why don't you have any good wine?"
Mr. Ke's eyes lit up. "Yes, bring the wine first. Without good wine, I really can't eat."
"Yingfeng, pour the wine."
Fu Xuanheng took the lead and sat on the chair to instruct Yingfeng.
Long Yizhi and Uncle Yun Ba sat on his left and right. Old Ke and the two elders of the Shen family sat together, Shen Citong sat next to Old Master Shen, and Mu Xiujin sat between Shen Citong and Long Yizhi.
On Mr. Ke’s side are Ye Cang, Rong Yin, Ling Moxuan, and Uncle Yun Jiu.
As for the kids like Shen Yunfeng, they all gathered around a table.
Their tables are relatively low.
Warm mats were laid on the floor, and everyone sat on low stools.
Shen Yunzheng wiped the dust off his face with his sleeve. "My fireworks are the most beautiful. None of you can compare to me."
"Really? How powerful is it?"
Shen Yunfeng glanced at him indifferently.
Shen Yunzheng: ...Brother, what do you mean?
You don't want to take this opportunity to beat me up, do you?
His eyes rolled around several times. "Big brother is the best."
It's a perfunctory statement without any sincerity.
