The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 384 The tacit understanding through the crowd

As soon as the people in the shanty town put the New Year's Eve dinner on the table, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside, followed by the sound of Baozi's father opening the door.

Sister-in-law He put the dishes on the table and said, "Who is it now?"

Then she heard Baozi's father's voice: "Prince Wang!"

Tantai Lin bowed slightly on his horse and said, "Happy New Year!"

Then he hit the horse and ran towards the Jing family compound. Baozi's father couldn't recover for a while.

Bao Ziniang came out and said, "What are you doing? You're so stupid. My sister-in-law has already put the dishes on the table!"

This family of three was the only one who escaped. Uncle He invited his family to have a New Year reunion. The two families were sharing a table. Why didn't this man come back to the house?

Baozi's father fainted and Taotao came into the room and said, "Your Majesty just said New Year blessings to me!"

Baoziniang said disdainfully: "You're already drunk before I even drink!"

Sister-in-law He came into the room: "Daddy Baozi was right, the prince has just entered the village!"

Uncle He muttered: "Don't most of the royal family gather together to worship their ancestors on New Year's Eve?"

Worshiping ancestors?Tantai Lin sneered at this. He didn't burn those tablets, which was considered fair to them.

King Anyang had previously asked him if he wanted to prepare for ancestor worship.

Tantai Lin refused and said: "This kind of thing can be arranged by my uncle on his own. After all, for someone with such a murderous spirit like me, I'm afraid of hurting the Yin spirits of my ancestors!"

King Anyang stopped asking and took his whole family to the royal family's ancestral temple in Chang'an.

In the Jing family's large dining hall, the dishes this year are extremely rich, including meat and vegetable combinations, as well as melon and fruit snacks.

Mr. Jing had just raised his wine glass when he heard someone coming in from outside.

Lao Wangtou, who was guarding the door, came in with Tantai Lin, who was covered in wind and snow.

He was tall and tall, wearing a black mink cloak, but there was already a thick layer of snow on it, and a long sword hung on his waist. He probably left the military camp and went straight to Laobei Mountain without even returning home. .

Mrs. Su hurriedly stepped forward to take the cloak from him: "Ah, you kid, why are you here now?"

He turned around and ordered his daughter: "Hurry and bring the stove and let Xiao Huo warm his hands. Aye, bring your elder brother a cup of hot tea!"

Mrs. Ge came over with a dry handkerchief: "My child, pat the snow on your body quickly. Don't take this young man seriously. If this cold air enters your body, you will suffer when you grow old!"

Jing Li came over to give him a small charcoal stove. Seeing a bunch of old men and women busy around him, she felt a little unable to get involved.

Mr. Jing said distressedly: "Xiao Huo, why are you here at this time? Don't you want to celebrate the New Year with the old prince and the others?"

"My uncle and his family are also from a big family. I went over hastily, which made them quite embarrassed, so I came over. Grandpa and grandma, you guys don't think that I, an outsider, don't know the taste, right?"

Tantai Lin flicked the snowflakes on his body, and while replying to the old man's words, he walked through the crowd to see the girl behind him.

Today she was wearing a bright red silk satin, with a belt embroidered with gold thread around her waist, which held her slender waist together and gave her a graceful curve.

The collar is a circle of white fur. The pure white fur paired with the red clothes makes the girl's face look even more attractive.

Mr. Jing didn't pay attention to Tantai Lin's expression and said to himself: "What are you kid saying? Can you treat me as an outsider? It's too late for us to be happy!"

After Tantai Lin finished cleaning up, Mr. Jing and several other elderly people gathered around him and sat down on the main seat.

Mrs. Ge served a bowl of hot soup: "Xiao Huo, come on, take a sip of the hot soup first!"

Turning around, he looked at Jing Dafu and the others and said, "Let Xiao Huo eat something first, no drinking!"

Jing Dafu smiled and said: "Auntie, even if you don't tell us, we will know it!"

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" Mr. Jing greeted Tantai Lin.At first, everyone was a little restrained by Tantai Lin's arrival, but after drinking for three rounds, they slowly relaxed.

Jing Dafu held the wine glass in one hand and supported the table with the other: "Uh, Xiao Huo, you don't know, before we even served the meal last year, the damn Liao people called us, and the New Year's Eve dinner didn't make anyone happy. ah!"

Then he waved his hand and said with a smile: "But there is no need for this year. A few days ago, brothers Ah Li and Huang led thousands of elites in our county to walk around several of their tribes."

"Xiao Huo, you don't know that you scared those grandsons so much that you sent us New Year's gifts in advance!"

His wife came over and patted him on the back and said, "It's been a while since he started drinking too much and talking nonsense. Wang, uh, Xiao Huo, don't take it to heart!"

Tantai Lin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, uncle is just telling me common things!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he raised his cup and gestured to the girl on the other end.

While Jing Li was talking to Lan'er and the others, she responded to him casually, and the tacit atmosphere made both of them feel a little sweet.

Tiehuaer happily touched the clothes on her body: "Ah Li, do I look good today?"

"There is no girl more handsome than you!" Jing Li took back the wine glass and drank it down at the same time as Tantai Lin.

Tie Yu'er came over and said, "Sister Ah Li, you are lying. I'm obviously prettier than Sister Ah!"

"You are both very good-looking!" Jing Li held her forehead. The two sisters seemed a little idle if they didn't quarrel all day long.

Xiao Zhan and Fan Goucheng, with a bunch of children, stood respectfully in front of the old man and the others: "I wish my grandpa and grandma a happy new year, good health, and good health every year!"

Fan Niuniu smiled and shouted: "Master, it's time to give you a lucky seal!"

Several old men took out the red envelopes they had prepared long ago and handed them out to the children one by one.

The children's shouts of joy almost brought down the roof.

Tantai Lin took out dozens of red envelopes from his arms and handed them to Jing Ye: "Give them all one!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law, prince!" the children shouted in unison, and Tantai Lin was very satisfied with the cry of brother-in-law.

Jing Ye looked at the last one handed over by Tantai Lin in surprise: "I've given it to them all!"

Tantai Lin smiled and said: "This is yours!"

Jing Ye's eyes suddenly became moist. In his more than ten years of life, his parents had never been involved. Suddenly, someone like a father and brother gave him the surprise that a child deserved. He felt a little sour and seemed to say no. Out of joy and pride.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Jing Ye blushed and took the red envelope. He turned around and saw his mother looking at him with a smile on her face with slightly red eyes.

The little kids took the red envelope and stopped eating, clamoring to go out and set off fireworks.

Mrs. Ge smiled and scolded: "Aren't you afraid that there won't be enough to eat? There's not much to eat here, so I'm going to go play!"

The people in the cafeteria were already making a fuss. There were women sitting together around the brazier making homely meals, and men holding their heads and crying while reminiscing about the past.

Tantai Lin walked through the crowd and quietly tugged on Jingli's sleeve.

The two of them looked for the inconspicuous turret and slipped out quietly.

Tantai Lin pulled her all the way to her terrace, and then whistled.

As the sound exploded several times, Jingli saw the gorgeous fireworks rising from the river, one after another, colorful. It was obviously not her doing.

"Do you like it?" He leaned into his ear and whispered softly.

Jing Li looked back and instantly fell into his tender black eyes.

"Jing Ali, I hope you will be as happy as you are today every year, with me by your side!"
