The grace of rebirth after abandonment

() The new year is coming, every family hangs up red lanterns, puts up festive couplets, and cleans the house, which looks extraordinarily lively.

This year is a rare year for everyone to celebrate the New Year together. Su Lanzhi's family of four got up early on the morning of New Year's Eve and started preparing for today's reunion dinner. Early in the morning, Su Mingyang wore a red cotton-padded jacket. Her face was pink and she looked extremely cute. Su Lanzhi was a little reluctant to let go when she saw it, "Mother, brother Yang is so beautifully dressed, I can't bear to let go."

As the number increased, Su Mingyang became more and more attractive, those black grape-like eyes were round and rolling around, they looked really cute and clever, everyone couldn't put it down when holding them.

"Yeah, wearing a red dress and wearing a gold collar, it really looks like a doll in Huazhong back then. It's really cute." Murong Yan looked at Su Lanzhi teasing Su Mingyang, I am also busy preparing for today's reunion dinner.Fortunately, she also gained experience last year, but her mood last year was far less comfortable than at this moment, so Murong Yan naturally cared more about this year.

Chickens, ducks and fish, these are the things that have to be prepared every year. Murong Yan dressed Su Mingyang early, and she and Murong Yan are teasing the children here, and Su Lanzhi also gave the annual gifts she prepared for her parents. After going out, "Daddy, my daughter saw that your shoes were a bit old a few days ago, so I specially bought a new pair for you. Daddy will check if they fit!" The most important thing is Su Lanzhi's gift, which is not particularly expensive. , but it is very intimate.

"Okay, let me take a look!" After trying it on, the shoes are very soft, and they seem to have been padded with a lot of cotton, and they are very warm. Su Qinglan nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, very comfortable, Lan Er has a heart .”

"As long as Daddy likes it."

"Lan'er gave daddy shoes, but daddy didn't say so, shouldn't it be? You should wear this hat, it's very warm, and it can also protect you from the wind when you go out!" Su Qinglan took out a small hat, hat It is also reddish, decorated with shiny rubies, it looks very good-looking, and it is also made of high-quality fox fur, soft and very warm to wear, Su Lanzhi took it with a smile, " Thank you Daddy!"

"Look inside the hat, there's a surprise inside!" Seeing Su Lanzhi happy, Su Qinglan was naturally happy too, watching Su Lanzhi take out a pair of gold and silver nude fish from inside, it's really cute Hurry up, Su Lanzhi saw it and smiled happily, "Is this the New Year's money given by Dad?"

"Well, this is a little fish that Daddy specially made out of gold and silver, do you like it?"

"I like it, thank you dad!" She happily accepted it, and Murong Yan was a little dissatisfied when she saw that the gift her husband gave Su Lanzhi was so good, "Lan'er, it seems that the gift your dad gave is a great gift, I didn't have any preparations, I just saw that the sky was getting cold, so I made you a scarf, so that you won't get cold when you go out, and your throat won't be comfortable!" The scarf Murong Yan made for Su Lanzhi was also made of fox fur , the color is a bit reddish, with some blue bamboo embroidered on it, very beautiful, Su Lanzhi tried it, it was very warm, thanked with a smile, "Mother, I haven't given you a gift yet, you are better than me One step faster!" After finishing speaking, he prepared a sandalwood bead bracelet that he had prepared a long time ago, "Mother, your prayer beads have never left your hand. I lost one of them a few days ago, and I have never found it. My daughter specially made this bracelet for your mother, and deliberately asked people to enshrine it in Yunlai Temple for 49 days, and it will definitely keep you safe and sound!"

Although this sandalwood bead looks simple and unpretentious, it exudes a touch of sandalwood, which makes people feel at ease. When Murong Yan saw this thing, she fell in love with it, "Laner has a heart, this is for you, I hope Laner can be more beautiful in the coming year." I'm so happy!" What Murong Yan gave to Su Lanzhi was a golden mule with two lotus flowers, which was extraordinarily exquisite and beautiful. Su Lanzhi liked it very much when she saw it, "Thank you, mother!"

"Okay, take it easy."

"Yeah!" Gifts were given to each other, and some servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion also gave gifts to Su Lanzhi and the others. Murong Yan sent everyone a reward of ten taels of silver, and the personal maids in the yard also added gifts. I asked for two taels, asking for auspiciousness.

Everyone celebrated the New Year happily, because it was New Year’s Eve, Da Cang said that after the meal, Su Lanzhi’s family lit the lamps, and warm silver charcoal was burned in the room, talking and laughing .In the beginning, it was surrounded by Su Mingyang, but the children couldn't stay up late, so they fell asleep early. Murong Yan asked her nanny to carry Su Mingyang back, and the three of them asked people to prepare melon seeds snacks and tea. Su Lanzhi took the initiative While making tea, a few people talked and laughed, but they also had a good time.

It's just that she seldom stays up late, Su Lanzhi is weak, and in the end she became a little mentally ill. Murong Yan was a little worried, "Lan'er, do you want to lie on the bed and sleep for a while, and when the time comes, I'll call you again?" Night vigil is the expectation for the coming year, and it is also a blessing to the elders. People who are filial will keep vigil, because there is a legend that if you keep vigil for the elders, the elders will be happy and healthy in the coming year.

"Mom, I'm fine. The time is coming anyway." Shaking her head, Su Lanzhi was a little sleepy, but she could hold on. When it was midnight, it was a quiet night, but suddenly fireworks were set off. This is the rule of Da Cang. At this time of year, Wendi du will specially let people set off fireworks in the palace to celebrate this year of saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new.

"Father, mother, happy new year! I hope that in the coming year, you are all in good health and everything goes well!"

"Hehe, happy new year, I hope Lan'er can think about things, be happy and safe!"

……

They wished each other a Happy New Year, and the servants who were in a state of distress rushed in to congratulate each other. Seeing the first one to come in, Murong Yan happily rewarded five liang of silver, which aroused the envy and hatred of many people. Finally, after a long time of excitement, the snow-white world finally calmed down, and everyone was ready to wash up and go to sleep.

"Lan'er, I'll rest at Yanyun Pavilion tonight, it's not easy to walk now that it's late."

"Well, that's fine!" After bidding farewell to Murong Yan and Su Qinglan, Su Lanzhi packed up and went to sleep. Before going to bed, she secretly took out the bracelet and hairpin that Qin Zhiyan gave her. The hairpin was too conspicuous. Zhi hasn't found a suitable opportunity yet, and it's not easy to wear it. It's just that she is wearing thick clothes this winter, and no one has seen this bracelet. Su Lanzhi didn't know what happened today, so she wore it by accident Now, looking at the bracelet in her hand, Su Lanzhi smiled, thinking of the jade-like man, stroked the bracelet, "Happy New Year!" After saying that, she lay down and fell asleep, because This bracelet is by my side, Su Lanzhi seems to be sleeping very well recently, I stayed up all night, and woke up very late the next day, it was almost noon, listening to Yunzhu telling her the time, Su Lanzhi was helpless Smiling, when she got up, she found that Murong Yan and Su Qinglan had woken up early, Su Lanzhi felt very embarrassed, "Dad, mother, you are already up?"

"Well, I originally planned to sleep for a while, but Brother Yang went to bed early last night, so he woke up early and kept making noises. He didn't cry when he saw me, and I woke up too. Lan'er, but Did you sleep well?" Su Mingyang is wearing a new red padded jacket today, he looks like a pink and jade carving, the longevity lock on his neck is very cute, and there are silver gloves on his hands and feet. Ring ankle ring, it really looks like a little golden boy.

"Isn't it? This guy has been crying since he woke up in the morning, and he won't stop until your mother hugs him. We can't sleep either!" Although they stayed up late, Murong Yan and Su Qinglan's spirits are still good, and they can be seen Both are in a good mood, and both of them are wearing brand new clothes, and they are both very festive, looking particularly good.

"Look at this guy, he's so naughty!" Walking over to look at Su Mingyang, Su Lanzhi lovingly took it and teased him, seeing Brother Yang's pink mouth was spitting out bubbles, seeing himself coming Smiling, Su Lanzhi's heart immediately melted into a puddle of spring water.

"Isn't it? This kid is very noisy when he wakes up in the morning. Maybe he saw that today is the New Year? We'll get ready in a while, so we'll go to your grandfather's place!" Su Qinglan now has a daughter and a son, forming a "good" That's it, at this moment he feels that his life has been fulfilled, he looks much younger than before, and the smile on his face is much more.

"My lord, I'd better go see my concubine and the others today!" After all, it was Su Qinglan's biological mother. Although they were in a state of stalemate at the beginning, last year they just gave gifts and didn't go, but Murongyan knew that Su Qinglan did all of this. It's for her, she doesn't want Su Qinglan to be reprimanded for being unfilial because of her, it's not good for Su Qinglan, Su Lanzhi, her and brother Yang.

Da Cang attaches great importance to filial piety, sometimes the word "filial piety" can crush people to death, now they are lucky, no one bothers them, but in case the censor is not used to it, and they read a copy, the unlucky ones are not themselves ?

Today's Murong Yan has a daughter and son to consider, so naturally she can't let her temperament come. Last year and this year, they didn't go back to Prince Qing's Mansion for a reunion dinner. There is a woman who can barely pass the New Year's Eve, but she didn't even go back to take a look, which is really too much.

"Yan'er, you..." She really didn't expect Murong Yan to say this, Su Qinglan was a little surprised, and felt more and more guilty.

He seems to always put his wife in such a dilemma, how can he completely get out of the predicament?
