Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

After another snowfall, New Year’s Eve is ushered in.

Even though everything for the Chinese New Year was fully prepared, the Bai family was still busy early in the morning.

During the Chinese New Year, how can anyone not be nervous, busy and happy, not to mention that this is the first New Year that the Bai family has spent in the capital.

Old Mrs. Bai got up early and stood on the porch, staring at the young man sweeping the snow.

She always felt that she still had some strength and wanted to do it herself.

But after all, she was getting old and was afraid of slippery ground and falling, so Zhen and Xie Chuntao ordered the maids next to her to stare at her and not allow her to take the broom.

"grandmother!"

Xiao Fuyuan gets up very early these days.

Since the girls' school was opened at home, she studied hard with Su Yu every day. She didn't want to stay at home after the holidays. She got up early every morning and went around the streets.

Since she is the favorite of the group, she doesn't have to worry about having no one to accompany her.

Several brothers and nephews took turns vying to accompany her on the street, but it was her father Baiban who accompanied her the most.

Of course, this is the hegemony that Baiban, as a father, wrested back from his son and grandson.

In the past few days, she watched lanterns, went to the plum garden in the suburbs to enjoy plum blossoms, listened to storytellers, and ate all kinds of delicious food.

The day before yesterday, Azhen, as the crown prince, slipped out of the palace and went to enjoy the lanterns with her. She came back having a great time.

"Granddaughter, it's New Year's Eve today, are you still going out?" Old Mrs. Bai straightened Xiao Fuyuan's big fur collar and asked.

"I'm not going out, I'm celebrating the New Year at home." Xiao Fuyuan said sweetly.

"That's right, let's spend today at home, and then go out to visit the temple fair after tomorrow." Old Mrs. Bai said.

Today is the day when the Bai family celebrates the New Year together and has a reunion dinner. Tomorrow, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, they will go to the palace to attend the palace banquet. After tomorrow, Xiao Fuyuan will be free.

You can freely juggle, go to temple fairs, go to various restaurants to eat, watch plays and listen to gossip.

"Grandma will go to the temple fair with me then." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"That's for sure." Old Mrs. Bai said.

In the past, when they were in Shenshu Village, the Bai family would go to Nanguan Town or Yangfeng County to attend temple fairs every first month of the year.

I heard that temple fairs in the capital are more lively and prosperous. Mrs. Bai also loves to join in the fun and will definitely go with her granddaughter.

Not only did she go, but the entire Bai family, except the pregnant princess and the fourth son of the Bai family who accompanied the princess, were happy to go to the temple fair in the capital.

When the grandfather and grandson were standing in the corridor talking, someone came from the palace.

It was Prince Azhen who sent someone to bring her a lantern.

Soon, lanterns of various shapes were piled up in the Bai family yard, attracting everyone to come out and take a look.

"As expected of a palace lantern, it's so exquisite." Mrs. Bai praised it.

Xiao Fuyuan directed the servants to hang the lanterns on the trees on the porch. The lanterns were blown by the wind and reflected the white snow, which was so beautiful. She couldn't wait to wait until night, when all the lights would be on, it would be even more beautiful.

"...Princess, my wife asked you to come into the house to talk." Honghua came to the corridor from the upper room and shouted.

Xiao Fuyuan admired the lanterns for a while, talked to the palace servants sent by A Zhen, and then entered the upper room with Mrs. Bai.

"Is it cold?"

Mrs. Zhen pulled Xiao Fuyuan into her arms, touched her hands and cheeks, and felt relieved when she found them warm.

"Mom, are you looking for me?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

"Your mother has a letter."

Zhen handed Cheng Mei's letter to Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan opened it and started reading.

"My mother said she is in Shu and will not be able to return to Beijing until after the fifteenth day."

After Xiao Fuyuan read the letter, he told Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai the news.

Ever since Mrs. Ru was arrested, Cheng Mei went to Shuzhong, saying that she wanted to take care of business in Shuzhong.

But the specific Zhen family is not clear. Maybe it has something to do with Shen Junshan. After all, Shen Junshan died in the Sichuan River and his body has not yet been found. Cheng Mei is naturally unwilling to accept it.

"Daughter, please say a few auspicious words to your mother." Mrs. Zhen said to Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan folded the letter and said solemnly: "I hope my mother will go well."

"Your mother will definitely receive it." Old Mrs. Bai said, "It will definitely go smoothly."

At first, Mrs. Bai was a little bit dissatisfied with the connection between Cheng Mei and Xiao Fuyuan, but after so much, she no longer had any dissatisfaction.

Because Cheng Mei had no intention of taking Xiao Fuyuan away, but instead made Xiao Fuyuan the daughter of Bai Chen's family.

Mrs. Bai was filled with gratitude.

Anyway, having one more person to love your granddaughter is not a bad thing.

"Our stage is set."

Tian Maimiao walked in with a smile and reported the latest progress of the New Year at home.

It is popular for wealthy families in the capital to invite opera troupes to sing for several days during the first month of the year. When the Bai family arrived in the capital, they followed the local customs.

The matter of hiring a theater troupe fell to Sanfang. Tian Maimiao spent money to hire the most popular theater troupe in the capital. The stage had been set up for three days and was finally set up on New Year's Eve.

There is no one in the Bai family who doesn't like to listen to opera. In previous years, they would listen to it in the village, and they would listen to whatever others sang.

Now that I have hired a theater troupe, I can listen to whatever I want.

Mrs. Bai, who has always cared about money, was also generous for a while, saying that hiring a theater troupe at home suited her needs.

She asked everyone early to name the plays they wanted to hear and asked Xiao Fuyuan to write them down on the play list.

When the gongs and drums start playing, the whole family will have a good time performing according to the play list.

Little Fuyuan doesn't like to listen to babbling plays. In the past, attending plays in Shenshu Village was just for fun. What she likes are the snacks and candy figures sold under the stage.

She was quite sorry that she didn't have these if she hired a theater troupe at home.

"Sister, I also hired a shadow puppet performer for you." Tian Maimiao understood Xiao Fuyuan's thoughts very well.

"great."

When Xiao Fuyuan heard about the shadow puppet show, she beamed with joy.

Not only does little Fuyuan like shadow puppetry, but his nephews, including Dalang, all like shadow puppetry far more than singing opera.

"Grandma, mother, the kitchen has also been arranged." The chief manager Xie Chuntao walked in and said.

"You should take a break and let Da Zhuang and the others arrange the rest of the year." Zhen said to the eldest daughter-in-law.

Since Bai Dazhuang's retirement, he has taken over the chores at home, but Xie Chuntao is not worried and still prepares for the New Year in person every day.

"The couplets of the two strong men and the word "Fu" have been written."

The second sister-in-law Eugene Gui walked in. Bai Erzhuang had always written the Spring Festival couplets at home. Even if the fourth son of the Bai family became the number one scholar, the Bai family would continue to keep this habit.

Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai nodded.

"Your grandma's family and Cuicui's mother haven't arrived yet?" Old Mrs. Bai asked.

"The fourth brother and the fourth younger brother and sister have already gone to pick them up, I guess they will be there soon." Xie Chuntao said.

Thinking that this was also the first time for the Du family to come to the capital, Cuicui's mother would miss her daughter alone in the Liu family, so the Bai family had already invited the Du family and Cuicui's mother Liu to come to the Bai family to celebrate the New Year.

This year is destined to be a lively one.

"Second daughter-in-law, your sister is all alone, please invite her here too." Madam Zhen said.

While everyone was busy, they forgot about You Qingya.

A few days ago, Eugene Gui said something he shouldn't have said because of the princess's pregnancy. In the past few days, Mrs. Bai was scolding her for being such a naughty girl. She didn't even dare to mention her daughter coming to celebrate the New Year at home.

"Mom, I've already sent someone to invite you." Xiao Fuyuan said.

Eugene Gui cast a grateful glance at his sister-in-law.

Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai had happy smiles on their faces. Xiao Fuyuan was already very young and already knew how to act thoughtfully.
