Chapter 114 Show of Love
The people who went to buy tables, chairs and benches came back soon, and it was almost night.
The previously dark path had now changed drastically. Lanterns were hung on both sides of the road, and the dim light extended all the way to the front of the Shitian Pavilion, illuminating their way home.
Several people looked at each other, feeling unusually helpless. It seemed that for the first time in their long lives, returning to the Sky-Slaying Pavilion felt like going home.
Continuing to move forward, the people in front of the Sky-Slaying Pavilion stopped again.
The gloomy Shitian Pavilion had changed drastically at this time. It was decorated with lights everywhere, and each of the seven floors was hung with big red lanterns.
The window paper was replaced with a more translucent bright paper, and many New Year pictures were pasted on it.
On both sides of the black gate, big red couplets and bright red "Fu" characters have been hung.
Is it really the New Year? Several people thought to themselves, and their steps became lighter as they pushed open the door.
The first floor is the lobby of the Shitian Pavilion. Just like the outside, it is decorated with lights and is even more lively inside.
Many girls followed Wen Yingxue and were busy running around, decorating various places.
The skeleton throne was replaced by a magnificent mahogany carved lacquer seat, and the previous black decorations with a hint of horror were replaced with eye-catching decorations.
Looking at it this way, it doesn’t feel eerie or scary at all.
Wen Yingxue clapped her hands and turned to Nie Chubai, who was standing beside her, and said, "Now that this is done, isn't it a little less scary? Let's pick up my mother, Ai Ye, and Uncle Lin Qi tomorrow, and we'll have a good New Year."
Nie Chubai handed a cup of hot water to Wen Yingxue and nodded in agreement.
Busy times always pass quickly.
The next day was New Year’s Eve.
Wen Yingxue brought Lian Fangyu and Ai Ye Linqi to the Shitian Pavilion, along with their stepfather Zhao Qing.
After investigation, Zhao Qing proved that what he said was true. Wen Yingxue no longer considered her an obstacle and was ready to return Lian Fangyu to Zhao Qing.
Originally, they planned to hold a wedding for the two of them, but Lian Fangyu said that they were both old and it would not be possible to hold a grand wedding.
What's more, Wen Ze is now the father-in-law of the emperor, and it would not be good to slap him in the face in a big way, so they decided to have a meal together as a family to celebrate for them.
When she arrived at the Shitian Pavilion, Wen Yingxue actually saw two familiar faces, Qi Chen and Zi Su.
"Why are you here?" Wen Yingxue walked up to the two of them and asked Zi Su.
Zi Su first saluted Lian Fangyu, then said: "Why can't I come? Shi Tian Pavilion is also my home. Naturally, I have to go home for the New Year."
Wen Yingxue smiled, then looked Qi Chen up and down: "What about you?"
"Of course I will accompany my wife back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year." Qi Chen said proudly.
"What about the palace? Isn't the emperor holding a family dinner today?" Wen Yingxue asked curiously.
"What does hosting a family banquet have to do with me? I only have my wife in my eyes, not my brother who would cheat my brother out of his money."
Zi Su pulled Wen Yingxue's clothes and said, "This guy is still angry. Ignore him and let's go in."
After entering the Sky-Slaying Pavilion, Zi Su was stunned for a moment: "Madam, you are really amazing! The master can actually change so much for you, he is so good to you."
Qi Chen interrupted coldly: "What? Am I not good to you? You have cost me a lot of my life."
Wen Yingxue and Zi Su turned around and glared at Qi Chen: "Women are talking, shut up!"
The two continued chatting, and Wen Yingxue said, "It's time to change your tone. Why call me Madam? Call me sister-in-law! Nie Chubai has been your brother for a long time."
Zi Su was not polite and immediately changed her tone: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Wen Yingxue smiled: "That's right, you will come with us to burn incense to mother-in-law later. From now on, you are Nie Chubai's biological sister."
Zi Su nodded vigorously. They were all orphans, and their parents and relatives were what they wanted most.
At this moment, Lian Fangyu suddenly called out to the two of them, "You two are still chatting! Come over here and make dumplings. There are so many people, so we need to make a lot. Come quickly."
Wen Yingxue said "oh" and pulled Zisu over to make dumplings.
Tonight is New Year's Eve. In addition to the must-eat dumplings, Wen Yingxue also asked people to prepare hot pot and barbecue, and everyone will gather together to eat.
In the Killing Heaven Pavilion, there were many people who knew how to cook. Some rolled out dough, some made dumplings, and the rest prepared ingredients for the hot pot and barbecue.
For a moment, the entire Killing Heaven Pavilion was bustling with activity.
Wu Nan and the Four Ones even suggested setting off fireworks that evening. This proposal was unanimously approved, and the Four Ones hurried off to buy fireworks.
"This is my first time celebrating the New Year with so many people. It must be very lively." Lian Fangyu said to Wen Yingxue with a smile while wrapping dumplings quickly.
Wen Yingxue thought to herself, "You've never seen a New Year's Gala, where thousands of people celebrate together. Compared to that, this is nothing."
"Tsk! What's the big deal? There are always a lot of people in the palace during the New Year every year!" Qi Chen couldn't bear to be lonely and interrupted again.
Wen Yingxue and Zi Su turned around again, wanting to confront Qi Chen, but when they saw his expression, they both couldn't help laughing.
Qi Chen probably had never been in the kitchen since he was a child, let alone making dumplings. That's why he ended up with dough all over his face while making dumplings.
Looking at the ones he made, the stuffing was leaking out and he couldn't close them at all.
Zi Su quickly walked over, holding up her skirt, laughing as she walked: "You were just making dumplings, but you got it all over your face? You're so stupid!"
"This is my first time making dumplings, but it's pretty good!" Qi Chen said unconvinced. Seeing Zi Su come back to teach him, the corners of his mouth immediately raised uncontrollably.
Wen Yingxue shook her head and looked at Lian Fangyu, who was talking to Zhao Qing. She then turned to look at Ai Ye, who was flirting with Wu Nan.
It’s numb! Where’s her Nie Chubai! She wants to show her affection too!
Just as he was thinking about it, Nie Chubai, who had been missing for a day, finally came back with a food box in his hand.
"What is that? It smells so good!" Wen Yingxue had a sharp nose and immediately smelled the fragrance coming from the food box.
Nie Chubai opened the lunch box and found a bowl of chicken soup inside.
Smelling the familiar scent, Wen Yingxue looked up and asked, "You made it? Just watch it once?"
Nie Chubai nodded: "Try it quickly and see if it tastes the same."
Wen Yingxue immediately picked up a small spoon and took a sip: "Hmm, delicious! It tastes exactly the same!" It tastes as good as the one my dad made.
"That's good."
After drinking the soup that Nie Chubai specially made for her, Wen Yingxue came to make dumplings with Nie Chubai.
At first, Nie Chubai was just like a beginner, and his wrapping was terrible, but after making a dozen or so, he could wrap them pretty well.
I wrapped a few more and they are even prettier than Wen Yingxue’s. They are all round and plump, and look very cute!
"This doesn't make sense! Why do you learn so fast?" Wen Yingxue asked.
Nie Chubai smiled: "Because I want to learn it well and then make it for you. Maybe this is the power of love."
Ai Ye Wu Nan, Zi Su Qi Chen, Lian Fang Yu and Zhao Qing who were around made a sour expression. Those who show off their love will die quickly!
