When the couple returned home, Meng Meng had already put up couplets on all the doors of the yamen, and hung big red lanterns on both the front and back doors.
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, you're back!" Meng Meng said, taking out the rice milk. Then he asked, "Second Aunt, is there any news about Huihui and Pengze?"
Cai Xiaolian nodded: "Let's go back and talk about it!"
She went to the Peng family to deliver a gift today and also to inquire about Gu Hui's whereabouts. Coincidentally, she ran into the naval camp when they came to deliver a message to the mansion.
Back inside, Cai Xiaolian shared the news she had received: Gu Hui and the other two had infiltrated the capital of the Goddess Kingdom and found Peng Ze. They were safe and there was no danger, so everyone could rest assured.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Despite everyone's lively activities every day, they haven't forgotten that Gu Hui is still out there. The Peng family is also filled with joy.
In the afternoon, the Gu family held an ancestral worship ceremony.
When they first came here, they knew they would be staying for three to five years. So, after they arrived last year, they built an ancestral hall. Even though they couldn't go back to visit the graves, they still had to pay respects to their ancestors.
The ancestral graves in Sanchakou Village are being maintained by people sent by Gu Shouxin to keep watch over the Gu family of Fuzhou.
This year, the Gu family welcomed two new children, and Grandpa Gu had already recorded them in the family genealogy.
Because the Gu family all share the same surname as Grandma Gu, unlike other families where women don't enter the ancestral hall, all the descendants in their family must enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and then eat blessed fruit.
It is said that if the child eats the blessed fruit offered in the sacrifice, he will not get sick.
After paying respects to their ancestors, it was almost dark. Gu Shouxin had someone set off firecrackers, and then they began to eat.
As Gu Nian listened to the crackling sound of firecrackers, an idea suddenly popped into her head: should she start making firecrackers and fireworks next year?
Renren said that his setting is all about cold weapons and no firearms, so her setting off firecrackers and fireworks wouldn't disrupt the rules of this world!
As for whether the emperor will extract more military supplies from this contingency, that depends on the emperor.
Gu Nian thought the idea was pretty good and included it in next year's plan.
The Gu family is large, including their own family members, plus Grandma Xiao and Lu Zheng, making three tables for people, not to mention the tables set up by the servants in the kitchen.
As the patriarchs of the family, Grandpa and Grandma Gu first raised their wine glasses and said auspicious words before the meal. Except for Gu Xiaoqi and Gu Xiaoba, who were still breastfeeding, everyone else, including Gu Ren, raised their glasses and drank a toast.
Of course, the girls drank fresh juice made from the fruit that their uncle brought back.
After drinking that cup, everyone started eating.
The round table was designed by Cai Xiaolian. It can slide. When Uncle Gu wants to eat pig's trotters, he can slide the table towards him when no one is serving him food.
Zhang suddenly felt depressed. She usually liked to gnaw on pig's trotters, so why didn't she want to eat them during the New Year?
"Ugh!" Unable to hold it in, Zhang gagged.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Cai Xiaolian, who was sitting next to her, quickly slid the table closer to her.
"Ugh!" Cai Xiaolian suddenly felt nauseous and looked at the plate of pig's trotters in surprise.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you two aren't pregnant, are you? I was... ugh..." Yang, sitting next to Cai Xiaolian, said while turning the table. Before she could finish speaking, a familiar feeling of nausea came over her.
The three sisters-in-law stared at each other with their mouths half-open.
