After dinner, except for the braised fish that was left behind on purpose, the rest were taken away by the servants and put away, ready to be heated up and eaten when people were hungry.
The table was cleared and a group of people gathered around it chatting and playing cards.
It was only then that Fu Huanping learned that there was such a thing as playing cards in the world. The rules were simple, easy to learn, and very addictive to play.
As a guest, the novice protection period is up to a quarter of an hour.
However, Fu Huanping was smart and didn't need the old ladies to help him. He quickly grasped the essence and killed everyone in his way.
The stakes are naturally peanuts, melon seeds, candies, etc., which neither hurts the relationship nor makes the game go smoothly.
As time passed, people who were used to going to bed early began to yawn.
Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng brought Baozhu and Erzhu back to Qingfengyuan. The four of them brought the cakes on the desk back to Rongsiyuan.
The old lady and old man, who were originally in low spirits, their eyes lit up when they saw the pastries they had never seen before.
The others did the same, standing up to greet the delicious food.
Chi Xingyue placed the apple mille-feuille on the table and asked everyone to make a wish in a very Western way.
When it was over, Ling Jiheng took a knife and cut the food into pieces, giving each person a small triangle to taste.
The apples brought back from the "Fucheng" had been consumed for such a long time that only a few were left.
In order to complete tonight's dessert, Chi Xingyue took out a lot of money from the space to make up for it.
The upgraded space has more abundant spiritual energy, and the fruits grown there taste better than before.
Mixed with cream, it was fragrant and sweet, and the spirits of the Ling family were lifted again.
The pumpkin milk square cake is obviously not as popular as the apple mille-feuille. After all, we often eat pumpkin at home, and the taste is too familiar and not amazing at all.
In other words, the milk produced by the space cows makes the square cake taste richer. After everyone finished eating the thousand-layer cake, they turned their eyes to the square cake next to them.
After a late-night snack, they resumed playing cards. Seeing that it was almost midnight, Ling Jiheng got up and dragged the bamboo pole to the open space outside the house. When the time came, he lit a fire.
The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out in the quiet night, making it festive and lively.
Many people who were still awake came to join in the fun, clapping and cheering in the firelight.
Only after the bamboo poles were burned out did they go home with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
The Ling family sat in Rongsi Courtyard for a while before returning to their respective courtyards. After washing up, they were ready for bed. The next day was another beautiful day.
Chi Xingyue followed Ling Jiheng back to the house and locked the door without even washing her feet.
Baozhu's eyes were filled with tears: "See, see, I told you that the Second Young Master's wife loves me the most!"
Chi Xingyue in the room had no idea what Baozhu was thinking. He blew out the oil lamp and took Ling Jiheng into the space.
The two took a shower in the bathroom and ate two pieces of mango mille-feuille.
Out of mercy, he gave No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 a day off, and also gave them some fruits for the holiday.
Unexpectedly, the thugs refused to eat the red cherries, lychees and strawberries, and only dared to pick cantaloupes, peaches and apples.
Chi Xingyue didn't care and muttered to Ling Jiheng: "Look, they are more blessed than our own family."
In this space, everything you eat and drink is imbued with spiritual energy. Just look at the cattle and horses, they've only been awake for a short time, yet they're already plump and strong.
When Number One, Number Two, and Number Three heard this, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
Chi Xingyue found it boring, so he threw some meat buns to them and left.
When they were out of sight, Number Two swallowed and asked Number One, "Boss, shall we eat?"
It’s been so long since I last ate meat that I can’t stand the smell.
Number One raised his hand and patted the back of Number Two's head: "Eat, eat, eat. Aren't you afraid that thing is made of human flesh?"
Chi Xingyue, who was hiding in the dark, exclaimed, "Wow!" and wondered when her identity as a monster was exposed, and how could she be so intimidating.
Ling Jiheng's mouth corners were almost stretched to the back of his ears. Because it was inconvenient for him to make any sound, he hunched over and his chest trembled.
Chi Xingyue glared at him and left quickly.
Ling Jiheng followed closely behind and heard the men discussing, "How about we break one open and try it? If it's not human flesh, we can have a satisfying snack!"
Number One pretended to think for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I can only try one!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll listen to the boss!"
Ling Jiheng shook his head, thinking that thanks to the fact that this space was controlled by Chi Xingyue, he didn't have to worry about those people turning against him.
Otherwise, with this kind of character, it is hard to say what he might do.
It is not impossible to call a deer a horse or human flesh pork.
Are you right?
Shaking off their thoughts, they went back to the bathroom to brush their teeth before leaving the space in their new pajamas.
It was already 1:30 in the morning, and everything was completely silent. Chi Xingyue hid under the quilt for only two seconds before falling asleep.
Then, it felt like daybreak had arrived in the blink of an eye.
Although it wasn't bright yet, the roosters had crowed several times.
The servants got up and started to work, and the scene was bustling everywhere.
Chi Xingyue yawned and got off the kang, went to the ear room, and pretended to wash up.
Then she walked to the dressing table, drew her eyebrows, and put on some lip balm. She looked bright and generous, the kind of beauty that netizens said, that comes with having your period on time.
Chi Xingyue smiled and styled her hair beautifully according to the tutorial in the short video of her previous life.
Then she picked out a peony-shaped hairpin inlaid with round pearls from the jewelry box and put it on her head, and also picked out a hollow carved filigree bracelet to wear on her hand.
A bright red cotton-padded jacket looks warm when worn. The circle of white fur at the collar makes the whole jacket look delicate and fashionable.
Chi Xingyue took out the purse she had prepared some time ago, the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone she had bought for her study, and the gold and silver jewelry she had bought from the jewelry store, and put them in a box, ready to give gifts to everyone.
Before I even left the house, I heard a commotion outside the yard. It turned out to be the villagers getting up early and bringing their children to pay New Year's greetings.
The old lady was delighted and asked Xiao He to come over and call people. Only after all the family members were present did she listen to the children say auspicious words one by one.
Of course, they were not treated unfairly. Each person was given a handful of melon seeds, two maltose candies, and a dozen meatballs.
The children's chubby little hands could hardly hold any more, so they just put the food into their pockets without thinking.
The adults were jealous.
Ling Jiheng saw Cao Dashan and his companions, walked over and whispered to them to come over in the morning.
Cao Dashan chuckled, indicating he understood. His relatively calm body was beginning to give way to the excitement of the little man inside.
After sending away the children who came to pay New Year's greetings outside, the Ling family went back to have breakfast.
Chi Xingyue put the box on the cabinet in the old lady's room, and waited until they had finished eating the dumplings and oil film they had eaten in the morning before gathering everyone in Rongsiyuan.
Chi Xingyue gave the gold bracelet she had prepared to the old lady and Shu Muyun, and the gift for the old man and Ling Weicheng was an exquisitely crafted wolf-hair brush.
As for the elders from the next room, such as Geng Suhua, Liang Zhijun, and Ge Jinglan, she only gave them silver jewelry, and they were very small ones.
Everyone has an income now, so a young person like me doesn't have to spend money.
