Chapter 106
Seeing that Guo Gege wanted to say something, Li Fangfujin stood up directly, and suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, you have worked hard after all, and I am not such a hard-hearted person, how can I treat you badly in the future? You go back first, let's discuss in the long run."

After leaving behind such ambiguous and thought-provoking words, she walked out.

……

It's finally New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, the fourth elder brother brought Fujin, Li Fang Fujin, eldest elder brother, and eldest Gege into the palace, while the rest of Gege and concubines spent the New Year in the mansion.

It was easy - among the remaining women in the mansion, only Song Gege had a daughter.

She has always been friendly and popular with others, so in this small family banquet, Song Gege is considered to be the leader.

Although Bian Gege's spirit has improved a bit, it is impossible for her body to recover so quickly - let alone this family feast, it is difficult for her to even get up from the bed and take a few steps in the room.

So Bian Gege will naturally not attend.

She couldn't participate, and Gu Yaoyao didn't want to go, but Bian Gege said: "There is such a New Year's Eve all year round. It's rare for everyone to get together. If you don't go, it's very bad."

Gu Yaoyao understood what Bian Gege meant.

Bian Gege was worried that she had just moved into Huabu Pavilion, if she didn't participate in such a family banquet, she would inevitably appear defiant and arrogant.

"Go, sister is fine." Bian Gege put out his hand to push her with a pale face.

Dai Lan came over with a medicine bowl in her hand, and while she was serving her, she said in a soft voice, "Don't worry, girl, there are servants here to take care of you, so there won't be any trouble."

……

When Gu Yaoyao arrived at the family banquet, it happened to be the time when the lights were turned on at dusk.

This is the first meal.

There will probably be supper at night - after all, today is the New Year's Eve observance, if Fourth Master and Fujin come back early, there will be a second family banquet in the mansion.

Almost everyone has come - besides Song Gege, there are also Wu Gege, Geng, and Chen.

As for Guo Gege, because he just had a miscarriage, he is on bed rest just like Bian Gege.

Can't come.

When Gu Yaoyao entered the room, he saw that everyone was surrounding Geng Shi—it turned out that he was talking about the matter of Guo Gege that day.

Song Gege is also listening.

"...In the final analysis, Guo Gegefu's fate was the greatest. The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. Standing in that environment, just watching and listening, the servant girl felt cold sweat on her back!"

Geng said in a soft voice, and finally said: "It's really not easy to be a mother - birth is one test, and raising is another test."

She raised the wine cup: "Sister Song raised Da Gege so well, it shows how much effort has been put into it!"

Although these words are not lacking in compliments, they also touched Song Gege's heart.

Song Gege raised his brows with emotion, sighed slightly, and was about to speak when he looked up and saw Erman coming in with Gu Yaoyao.

She rolled her eyes, smiled and gently pressed Geng's wine cup down: "Sister Gu is here! We are looking forward to you!"

While talking, Song Gege stood up, and came forward to hold Gu Yaoyao's hand affectionately: "Come, sister Gu, sit here!"

Gu Yaoyao was pressed by her shoulders and sat down, Geng Shi and Chen Shi quickly stepped forward to salute.

Wu Gege also said: "Is Bian Gege okay today?"

For a moment, everyone surrounded Gu Yaoyao, as if she had become the focus and center of everyone's attention.

Song Gege was left out in the cold.

Every time Chen saw Gu Yaoyao in the past, there was a bit of contempt in her eyes, but now—seeing that Gu Yaoyao had gone through such a turmoil, she also retreated completely, without any embarrassment at all.

He was actually arranged by the fourth elder brother to enter Huabu Pavilion.

She no longer dared to underestimate this girl, so she also came forward to please her at this time, with an embarrassing look.

Seeing that everyone was here, a servant came over to ask if it was time to serve food.

Because it was Chinese New Year, even though it was just a family banquet for Ge Ge and the concubines, the dining room was extraordinarily well prepared.

A group of serving servants lowered their heads, arranged the dishes colorfully, and were about to leave carrying the food boxes, when Song Gege raised his hand and asked the maid to tip him off.

She was also very aggressive, and after the money was offered, a group of servants all blushed, knelt down and nibbled a few heads for the master, and said a lot of auspicious New Year's words before going out.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the mansion is similar to that in the palace. They are mainly steamed and stewed-this is for the convenience of keeping warm.

After all, there are many ceremonies for the masters and sons on this day-the dining room has to be on standby at any time, and the time for serving the dishes is not easy to determine.

In addition, because they are all women, there are also a lot of exquisite snacks sent by the dining room, such as sweet-scented osmanthus roll pastry, three fresh lotus flower pastry, hibiscus cake, yam cake, fragrant candied fruit, plum ginger drop pastry...

But Gu Yaoyao's favorite is a fried Lantern Festival, which is stuffed with red bean paste and coated with sweet-scented osmanthus honey. When you bite into it, it is sweet and soft, and the taste spreads on the tip of your tongue.

She was eating absent-mindedly with her head down, when she heard someone smiling and saying: "As the year approaches, these few days are bound to be a bit busy, and I can't get away from it for a while, and I haven't gone to congratulate Sister Gu on her housewarming. Sister Gu is so lucky!"

It was Song Gege who came to toast.

Although everyone in the backyard knew that Gu Yaoyao had moved from Qinqiuzhai to Huabu Pavilion, but Song Gege made it so obvious that everyone present was envious.

Chen's eyes were sour.

……

At night, the fourth elder brother came back.

Song Gege and the others happily went out to greet them on their knees, listening to the crackling fireworks on the streets outside the capital.

This is the New Year's Eve celebrated by all peoples.

Then there was a second banquet.

Fujin dressed up extravagantly tonight, Li Fangfujin did the opposite. As soon as she returned to the mansion, she hurried back to the small courtyard first, took off the clothes she had entered the palace, and changed into a small jacket made of crabapple powder. With a silver-gray waistcoat, it looks extraordinarily beautiful.

Big Brother and Big Gege are hugging and playing. The two children are together, and they are young. It is inevitable that they will make noise when they are playing. The nurses on both sides are coaxing each other.

very messy.

At a night banquet, the concubines could only stand - the fourth elder brother was given a seat: another small table was opened for them to sit in the room.

Li Fangfujin knew it in his heart - it was for the Gu family.

Seeing a night banquet: the fourth elder brother's eyes went to Gu Yaoyao several times, Li Fangfujin could only grit his teeth and smile.

Look, it's New Year's Eve today——she didn't believe that the fourth elder brother could really get dizzy, and instead of staying in Fujin main courtyard today, she went to find Mrs. Gu.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden noise in the yard—someone seemed to be coming, but he was stopped.

After all, it was Chinese New Year, and there were a lot of things going up and down in the mansion. Fujin was the main courtyard here, and the servants came to report things, and there were also things going in and out.

Gu Yaoyao didn't care. She lowered her head and brushed her hair. She was drinking a bowl of matsutake soup when she heard Dailan crying clearly: "Girl! Girl!"

 Thank you Zhulin Guiwan for the tip of the vegetable salad!
