Inheritance policy

Chapter 31 New Year's Eve

Xing Zhao saw and heard it really, and stared at He Yan who was indifferent.What made her unbelievable was that He Yan still had the face to challenge the eldest lady?

"Teach the son in front of the hall, and teach the wife in front of the bed. Your daughter-in-law manages the banquet with one hand and one foot, and she is so tired that she is about to have a migraine. If you don't know what to say, you will kill people as soon as you open your mouth." Mrs. Tai replied Shake the lady
Hand, seeing Fang's head tilted, wanting to say something, and thinking about Ying Yi's conversation yesterday, he became more and more angry with He Yan, and because of the presence of such a big family, he took the hand of the eldest lady. Walking forward, he said again: "In terms of filial piety and kindness, I think the eldest daughter-in-law is the best!"

He Yan's face froze. He hadn't been taught by Mrs. Tai all these years, but now he actually trained him for Fang's stupid woman.
The atmosphere cooled down, and the third room was not easy to talk about relatives and distances. This job fell on the second wife who has always been talkative: "The elder sister-in-law is filial, so is the second daughter-in-law filial? !"

Xingming put a pestle on Xingzhao's back, and raised his eyes again, signaling Xingzhao to be a jerk and smooth things over.Xing Zhao just didn't know what to do, Mrs. Tai was reminding He Yan, and she was rectifying the name of Mrs. Da, she was not stupid, so she was willing to take the initiative to make jokes like this.

On the other hand, the First Madam listened to Tai Madam's words, her nose turned sour, and she almost shed tears, and she was afraid that He Yan would lose face, so she raised her head and smiled in response to the Second Madam, and then greeted everyone: "Which one of our family is not filial? Come
Come on, the mutton slices are thinly sliced, and the fire has been raised, I'm afraid it won't be tender after a while! "

The second master pretended to bow to the eldest lady: "Thank you sister-in-law for enjoying the meal—"

The third lady gently twisted the jade-colored mandarin pattern handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled: "The second uncle is the one who is not serious, and the second sister-in-law doesn't care about it on weekdays!"

The second lady thought about the good relationship between Mrs. Huang and the third lady, so she couldn't help venting her anger. She wanted to show her off, and then looked at Mrs. Tai's expression, so she could only smile and agree: "The old ancestor is really right, in front of the children , are all monkeys!"

Amidst the laughter, at least the episode was covered up.There are not so many taboos for the family banquet, and there are two tables in total.Mrs. Tai sat at the table facing the east, with He Yan on the left and Mrs. Da on the right, facing the third lady.The young lady and the gentleman sat at the other table, Xingming pulled Xing Zhao to sit beside Xingqing, and the three young gentlemen sat on the other side.

Cold dishes, platters, snacks, fruits and vegetables, several large dishes, and soup pots were brought to the table one after another.When Mrs. Tai got up with a glass of wine, she was already very happy: "When winter goes to spring and returns to one year, a warm nest is built in front of the Swallow Hall. Our family will be better next year!" Everyone greeted with wine, and the family The banquet officially began.

Xing Zhao is really happy, Mrs. Tai is willing to show her attitude is always good!

A copper pot with engraved patterns is placed in the middle, and the clear soup inside is already boiled, with red wolfberry, green onion, and yellow ginger floating on top.Xing Zhao smiled until there was only a slit in his brows and eyes, and he felt more relaxed.

The appetite came up, and I picked up a piece of lamb slices with chopsticks, and I had to stand on tiptoe to scald it by myself, which made Lian Rong's face turn pale from fright.

Still surrounded by Xing Jingjie, with his chopsticks stretched out, he sandwiched his cooked meat into the pastel saucer in front of Xing Zhao: "Don't toss the lotus seed paste! Bro, I'll cook it for you!"

Provoking Xingming and Xingshi to stick their heads out, yelling for more, Xingjing had to cook them one by one, and also gave Xingqing and Xingyun an extra dish, and told Xingqing very carefully, "The mutton is only getting up. It’s hot. You’ve been in Huguang for many years, have you forgotten what soy sauce smells like?” Xingqing said thanks with a blushing face in the smog.

Xing Zhao smiled while eating.What is a gentleman is not a gentleman who is serious and indifferent.Although Xingjing is not good at books, he has a good character, knows the etiquette and protects the young, and is gentle and gentle. This is called a gentleman.

A meal from the setting sun to the west, eat until the stars move.At the head table, the third master went to pay homage to He Yan, and He Yan drank it all in one go. The eldest lady poured wine to coax He Yan, and he drank too.

, He Yan only blushed.Mrs. Tai glanced at Geng Le, smiled and ordered people to open the curtain, and there were several "crackling" sounds in the sky outside.

A group of children hurriedly scattered their chopsticks and ran to the steps to see that the deep sapphire blue sky was shining brightly, and the red, blue, and deep yellow colors clustered into several national color peonies. sparkling lake far away

From a distance, it is really beautiful.One after another, the flowers will disappear, but there are always a few flowers there in the sky.

A few years ago when I was traveling, I was young and hadn't seen it. Looking back at it this time, I clapped my hands, shouted and laughed, which amused Mrs. Tai and laughed with her arms around a few children.

A young servant ran over and called out, "The palace is here to reward you!"

This time it's the eldest lady's turn to miss it even more, and after seeing it, she smiled and went to help Mrs. Tai: "It's about the same time."

A family like the Marquis of Lin'an receives rewards from the palace every year, and the things are not expensive, which shows that the Tian family values ​​the He family.

A group of people went to the second gate. There was a big yard in front of the second gate. The yard was brightly lit. There was a man dressed as a servant standing at the front, and a few people behind him were bending over and putting down several nanmu boxes.See you there

When someone came, he smiled and greeted Mrs. Tai and He Yan first: "Our family congratulates Mrs. Tai for a long life, a long life and good health! Lord Hou has a prosperous official career!"

Mrs. Tai smiled and asked someone to stuff a big red seal into it, and said, "Thank you for your blessing!"

He Yan asked with a smile: "Your Honor, how many families do you have left?"

The waiter was holding a whisk, looked at He Yan, and responded with a smile: "You are the first family here! Not only the Holy Majesty bestowed rewards, but also the Empress Dowager! You are the first to get two rewards!" As he spoke, he took a roll of colorful embroidered nine-clawed golden dragon treading cloud pattern cloth from his sleeve. The whole family was familiar with this thing, so they immediately knelt down.Xing Zhao knelt at the end, what is the purpose of issuing an imperial decree during the Chinese New Year?While thinking about it, he heard the high-pitched voice of the servant saying: "He Xingzhao, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Lin'an He Yan, received the order!"

Xing Zhao was stunned, trotted forward, and knelt down on the ground again.

"By heaven's decree, the emperor made a statement. The eldest daughter of He Yan, Marquis of Lin'an, He Shi, is from Yuxian County, Dingjing. She is famous and beautiful, and she inherited court training from a young age. She is young and gracious, and her nature is gentle and gentle. She is named the head of Wenyang County"

Xing Zhao froze in place, did this happen in his previous life?no!

Before I had time to think about it, thank you, the servant left those congratulatory gifts and said congratulations: "Congratulations to the Lord of Wenyang County! On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, remember to go to the Palace of Mercy and Kowtow to thank you!"

This is a clear indication of who conferred this title, not my aunt, but Queen Mother Gu.
Xing Zhao was stunned on the cold green brick floor and didn't recover, but Mrs. Tai came back to her senses, beckoning people to reward the servant.

As soon as the waiter left, the people in the yard were all excited. The second lady happily asked the eldest lady for a drink, but she was stopped by the lady, "Our queen has been out, the queen mother has been out, and the county lord has been out! Stay calm! Qi, just think of the emperor's kindness in your heart!"

As soon as Mrs. Tai said this, everyone fell silent.That's right, the county lords of the Great Zhou Dynasty had neither fiefs nor land rewards, so apart from getting a little salary every year, it was of little use.The He family still doesn't lack a county lord to support their appearance

.Although the eldest lady is happy, she also regrets why she didn't seal Geer Jing's position as the son of the eldest son, at least it's a double happiness.Thinking of this, he took the second wife and the third wife to help Mrs. Tai, and walked inside again.

Xing Zhao, however, was in a state of confusion, suddenly blissful in his heart, "squeaked" and got up to look at the list on the box, and sure enough, he found something that was not there in his previous life - a white jade bronze mirror engraved with bright moon and flowing water patterns on half of it , Named to the eldest lady!
Xing Zhao saw the half bronze mirror on the tray at a glance, it was clearly the right thing!What the empress dowager bestowed upon the eldest lady was only a dark side!

"Mother also got a strange thing!" Xing Zhao raised the half mirror in his hand and called out loudly.

The eldest lady took the half of the mirror, looked around in surprise, and muttered: "I don't think I've seen this before before."

He Yan was standing under the lamp talking to the third master, when he caught a glimpse of a reflection from the corner of his eye, his heart trembled inexplicably, leaving the third master behind and walked forward quickly.He took the mirror in Da Furen's hand, saw it clearly, and his complexion suddenly collapsed

Come on, he also has such a half mirror, which is engraved with Yangwen.One for him and one for Ying Yi, they were left as thoughts when the two separated when they were 16 years old. Together they are a complete Tai Chi-shaped round mirror!

Now it is sent here in the name of the queen mother, the queen mother should know, the queen mother sent the broken mirror, is it to reunite the broken mirror?Does the emperor know?What is the attitude of the emperor?To name Fang, is it to warn him or press him?Is the Queen Mother going to intervene?

Under the bright red lantern, He Yan's complexion looked pale.The eldest lady looked at him inexplicably.

Seeing He Yan's abnormality, Xing Zhao's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. The half of the thing is often the half of the loving person. One is the yin side, and the other is the yang side.Where is the sunny side?It's not hard to guess that Yangmian is with He Yan.Then can she understand that the queen mother already knew about Ying Yi and He Yan's relationship, and expressed her approval, and suddenly canonized her county head, just to express compensation and appeasement?
