After the lively wedding ceremony, the Shen family received many invitations from their families, including flower-viewing banquets and theater banquets.

Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi still insisted on their previous decision, but this was also based on Shen Xingqi's personal wishes.

"Do you really have no special ideas about lifelong events?"

"I-I'm still young."

"Okay, let's not be in a hurry."

Cheng Xi saw her blushing face and closed the invitation decisively, "I will refuse these invitations for you."

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

Shen Xingqi breathed a huge sigh of relief, seeming to have put down a worry and relaxed completely. Seeing this in Cheng Xi's eyes made her quite dumbfounded.

This girl is really not in a hurry at all.

Shen Xingqi was really not in a hurry. When Cheng Xi was not married, she was still young and had never considered this matter. But after Cheng Xi got married, her thoughts were greatly impacted, and she slowly discovered that women do not necessarily have to get married. , in comparison, living oneself is more important.

What's more, she is living a very fulfilling life now. The daily step-by-step practice of practicing super powers will make her feel that the world is wider than before. If she is tired, she can still cook and embroider. I don't know how good her life is. A life I had never imagined before.

If you get married, will you have to live the same life as a housewife?

No, no, it’s too terrible!

Shen Xingqi felt a cold wind blowing on her back. She took a sip of hot tea and quickly stood up and walked towards the training room, leaving only a breeze.

Cheng Xi: "?"

When a heavy snow falls again, the world welcomes another new year.

The Emperor of Dayan had long ago announced that the Hanlin Academy would give all officials a holiday. Shen Xingluo no longer got up early to have breakfast and was completely free. The Shen family's breakfast time was pushed back by an hour. On this day, Shen Xingqi rarely took Wang Shu to train, but stayed in the kitchen preparing various fried foods.

There was also the custom of eating fish during the New Year in the Yan Dynasty, and the imperial doctors had more than enough every year. However, the capital is not close to the sea, and the lumpy hairtail on the modern dining table is unthinkable, and can only be replaced by river fish such as crucian carp and carp.

But for Cheng Xi, this is not difficult at all.

The palm-sized fish were cleaned, marinated for a few hours, then wrapped in batter and fried in a pan. With a crispy sound, the smell of frying soon filled the kitchen. .

When Su Zhan went out, he brought back a large piece of white and tender tofu. Cheng Xi simply added diced carrots and diced green onions, crushed them together and fried them into vegetarian meatballs.

Big bones stewed until tender, spicy lamb stick bones and scorpions, fresh fried beans, braised chicken, rice cakes, and flower rolls.

The Shen family's kitchen was filled with fragrance all day long until the fiery red sunset gradually set.

When the Shen family's courtyard was covered with festive Spring Festival couplets and window grilles, New Year's Eve also quietly arrived, and the alley became lively again, with children from the neighbors jumping around in new clothes and talking to each other. Nor does it stop.

"Sir, madam, the New Year's gifts from each house have been registered."

Steward Su Zhan worked hard for three days and finally finished handling the New Year's favors in Shen's house.

Most of the gifts given by ordinary people were porcelain and ancient books, which were sent back at the same value as the registered annual gift. Only the Du Mansion and the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, who got along well with the Shen family, gave fruit wine and cakes.

Shen Xingluo took the gift list and looked through it, then put it down without paying much attention.

"Put it here, and we'll do it according to this specification from now on."

"Yes."

Su Zhan nodded, "In addition, Mr. Cheng sent a letter from the Hongwei Escort Agency, saying that he will be able to enter Beijing tomorrow, and Fuguang will also be back."
