Fortunately, Wang Yu didn't bother him too much last night, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if Dabao got up early this morning to pay New Year's greetings and he wasn't up yet. They had just finished cleaning up when Dabao came in.
After wishing them a happy new year, Wang Yu and Cheng Chen each gave him a red envelope. Since he knew the use of the money, he no longer kept it from Cheng Chen. Cheng Chen bought him a box to store his New Year's money.
Wang Yu gave each of the two Huo brothers who came with Dabao a red envelope, and the two also wished Wang Yu and Cheng Chen a happy new year. Huo Yi was twelve years old this year. He might have eaten well and slept well, and he was at the age of growing taller. He had grown a lot taller this year and looked much more energetic than when Wang Yu first saw them.
Wang Yu lowered his head and asked Dabao, "Have you gone to pay New Year's greetings to your grandparents?"
"Not yet. Going with Daddy."
"Okay, let's go together." Wang Yu touched Dabao's head with a smile, and walked out taking his hand.
As soon as Dabao walked through the gate of the third courtyard, he shouted to the courtyard: "Grandpa and grandma, Dabao is here to pay New Year's greetings."
The Queen Mother came out happily. She had lived a comfortable life over the years and her face did not look older. Instead, it became more rosy and healthy, with a kind smile.
"Oh, Dabao is here to wish grandma a happy new year. Come here, give you a hug." She bent down and picked up Dabao.
A child over four years old is still very heavy. The Queen Mother put him down after holding him for a short time, saying, "Dabao has become heavier again."
Dabao got down from the Queen Mother and looked at the King's father walking out from behind. He bowed and said, "Dabao wishes Grandpa and Grandma a happy new year. I wish them good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
"Okay, okay, Dabao is so good." Wang's father, who came out from behind, was so happy that his beard was trembling.
As he said this, he took out the red envelope that he had prepared long ago and gave it to Dabao. The Queen Mother also gave one to Dabao. Dabao happily collected them and put them in his own small purse.
Afterwards, the servants came to wish them a happy new year one after another, and each of them received a large red envelope. The Chinese New Year may be the happiest time for them. In addition to an extra month's salary, they can also get a big red envelope on the first day of the new year.
It has been two years since they came here. The host is really kind and never beats or scolds them. The clothes and food they wear are of the best quality all year round.
After breakfast, Wang Yu asked someone to send out the prepared New Year gifts. It was still the same people. Zhang Siyuan and Cui Hao were very busy during the New Year. They had been in the capital for a long time and knew many people, including officials and many merchants. They would visit each other during the New Year.
Except for Cui Hao's parents who are in Shangyong Prefecture, all other members of the family are in the capital. His second uncle is a third-rank official in the Dali Temple. Looking back, the old man of the Cui family was also a second-rank official. Although the Cui family's foundation is not as good as that of the aristocratic families, it is also a rising star, and its descendants are also very promising.
In previous years, they would go to the Yue family to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Now they were in the capital and the journey was long, so they could only send the New Year gifts back before the New Year.
On the second day of the New Year, they went to Song Boyan's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then went to Chen Yanwen's place. Song Boyan's son Shitou was four years old. Here, people calculate according to their age, so he is actually not yet four years old. The two children often play together and are very familiar with each other. When they arrived at the princess's mansion, they held hands and went to play.
Coincidentally, Qin Wan and the princess were both pregnant at about the same time. During this period, both Chen Yanwen and Song Boyan were very happy, especially Chen Yanwen. Whenever he saw Wang Yu, he would tell him that he was going to be a father.
At this moment, the three of them were in Chen Yanwen's study, and he told Wang Yu again that he was going to be a father. Wang Yu could see that the corners of his mouth were grinning from ear to ear, and he never stopped smiling when talking about this. Wang Yu could understand, after all, it was his first child, so he just let him show off.
Silently, he said the words countless times, "Congratulations, Yuan Jing, you're going to be a father soon."
Song Boyan found it funny watching from the side. He was just as happy when he had his first child, but he was more reserved than Chen Yanwen and didn't talk about it every day.
Wang Yu: "It's a coincidence for you two. Your two children should have been born around the same time."
Chen Yanwen nodded. "Yes, you said that if a boy and a girl are born, wouldn't we be able to arrange a marriage?"
Wang Yu's head was filled with black lines. The baby hasn't been born yet, but he is already thinking about child marriage. He glanced at Song Boyan, who seemed to agree with this idea, so Wang Yu shut his mouth.
After that, they talked about Journey to the West again. Chen Yanwen asked Wang Yu, "The supplementary version of Journey to the West you wrote is really good. The princess has been reading it recently. She also asked me to thank you very much."
Wang Yu: "It's okay, as long as the princess likes to watch it."
Chen Yanwen: "I've read some of it too. Xiuzhi, you're truly amazing. You've memorized such a long novel. This story is truly brilliant."
Then he asked in confusion, "How come I didn't know about such a good book before? Who is this Wu Cheng'en?"
Wang Yu could only shake his head. This was just like when Cui Hao asked him who Li Bai was. He couldn't tell them that these people didn't belong to this world.
"I just happened to see it in a bookstore. The content was so interesting that I read it several times."
Chen Yanwen didn't really want to know who he was, so he stopped asking. He was thinking about something else. "Let's not talk about that. What do you think about me opening a dim sum shop in the capital? My father has some work in the capital."
Although the princess was kind and filial, she didn't have many acquaintances in the capital after all. Father Chen could only ask Father Wang to listen to his stories and drink tea with him more often. Those who wanted to make friends with him were only there because his son was a prince consort, and he was too impatient to deal with them. He used to be the one who managed the family shop and was very busy every day. He was a little uncomfortable with suddenly being idle.
Wang Yu thought there was nothing wrong with this, their shop already had a complete set of processes, they just needed a shop.
"Sure, your family already does this. If you open a shop in Beijing, it will definitely be great. Ah Chen sometimes misses the cakes and teas in the shop."
"Okay, I'll ask my dad later."
Wang Yu thought that Chen's father must also want to open a shop in the capital, and he probably already has this plan. As a businessman, how could he not want to expand his territory with such a good opportunity? After all, his son is already a son-in-law and has the support of the royal family.
The three of them were chatting in the study. Cheng Chen and Princess Qin Wan were also chatting in the house. Dabao and Shitou couldn't stay in the house, so they took the two brothers Huo Yi to play in the garden.
Cheng Chen looked at their bellies. It was still too early to see anything, so he said, "We'll be able to see them in a few months."
"Hmm." The princess touched her belly and hummed. As expected, a woman who was about to become a mother had a cheerful and lively personality, and was also much gentler.
Cheng Chen smiled and asked, "Awan, do you hope this one is a boy or a girl?"
Qin Wan: "Daughter, the boy is too noisy."
They smiled at each other. The princess thought that both her daughter and son were fine. They were her own children. They would surely be pampered and grow up healthy.
